The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

After Xia Jing tidied up a bit, she took her maid and went to Qianya.

Just after leaving the second door, the steward came to report that Xia's family had been invited to the flower hall for tea.

Xia Jing made a slight turn and walked along the corridor to the flower hall.

Flower Hall.

The Xia family looked at the simple flower hall with surprise in their eyes, maybe they didn't expect that the dignified Prince Yipin lived in such a simple place.

The servant girl came in to serve tea and backed out.

Sister Xia took a sip with the teacup in her hand, her mouth filled with a bitter taste, and it was only when she noticed the dark tea soup in the teacup.

"Hmm~ what kind of tea is this, why is it so bitter?"

The others took a sip, and the young children wrinkled their mouths and noses together because of the bitterness.

Chen took a sip, and the bitter taste was acceptable, "This should be the herbal tea that Lingnan people like to drink."

"This is herbal tea?" Sister Xia shook her head, "This taste is too weird."

Chen said gloatingly: "The servant girl began to ask us whether we should drink herbal tea or black tea, but you yourself said that we would like to drink herbal tea."

"How did I know that herbal tea tasted like this? I thought it was cold tea." As she spoke, Sister Xia looked at her children.

Sure enough, the children took a sip and put it down without moving.

Eldest sister Xia is two years older than Xia Jing. She is the daughter of Xia's parents named Xia Ni, and she is ranked second. There is also an older brother in front of her named Xia Qingshan.

At the age of 15, she married Li's eldest son who also opened a small shop in the town. After marriage, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son is married, the second son is fourteen, and the youngest daughter is thirteen this year.

The little girl originally wanted to find a handsome young man to make an appointment for marriage, but in recent years, there have been many natural disasters, so this matter has been delayed.

Of course, when she came to visit this time, the daughter-in-law did not bring her grandson, but she only brought her three children.

"I heard that herbal tea can clear away heat and detoxify. When we first arrived in Lingnan, it's fine to drink a little. We'll get used to it."

Chen persuaded the children, keeping her eyes on the door.

I really haven't seen my second daughter for many years, and I feel nervous and apprehensive. I don't know if the second daughter is doing well in the palace?
She was suppressing her inner emotions, keeping her eyes on the door from time to time, and also caring about the other family members sitting in the flower hall.

The eldest daughter-in-law Wu noticed her mother-in-law Chen's expression, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for so many years, so I don't know if her appearance has changed?"

Xia Ni said regretfully: "Little sister is really miserable. If I followed the prince to such a remote place, it would be great if I went to Jiankang with the emperor. No matter how you say it is the southern capital, it is better than staying in this corner at the foot of the mountain. "

Mrs. Chen frowned, and said bluntly: "What's so good about Jiankang? The rules are big, and you are afraid to do anything. Don't forget that the disaster has not passed yet. Who knows when the disaster will be delayed?" Finish."

"If you want me to say, it's good to come to Lingnan, among other things, at least there is no drought here, and it is a kind of happiness to be peaceful in this troubled world."

Everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Mrs. Chen to have such a view.

"Clap clap clap!"

As soon as Xia Jing arrived at the door, she heard Chen's remarks, and couldn't help applauding for her.

She didn't expect Chen to have such a view on the current situation, she deserves to be a woman who dared to wander outside with Father Xia at a young age.

"well said!"

"Jing'er!" Chen stood up in surprise.

"Little sister!"

Xia Jing smiled and nodded to them, "Sister, brother, sister-in-law."

Walk a few steps quickly, come to Mrs. Chen, help her to sit down, "Mother, sit down."

She and her natal family haven't seen each other for at least ten years, now that they're seeing each other again, Xia Jing can still pick out memories of them from her memory.

Now that she has replaced the original owner, she must of course take care of her family.

The most important thing is that the Xia family's character is not bad, except for the love brain of big sister Xia.

"Hey!" Chen's gaze was glued to Xia Jing's body without moving away.

Xia Jing felt very helpless, but also a little warm, and could feel Chen's pure maternal love.

Chen wiped the corners of his eyes, and the joy was beyond words, "Yes, I think the prince has not treated you badly these years, and he looks really good."

In fact, whether a woman is married well or not, and her life is unsatisfactory, one can tell from her usual complexion.

Xia Jing is living a comfortable life these days, she insists on exercising every day, her brows and eyes are not worried, her vitality is good, and her whole person seems to be exuding vitality from the inside out.

Xia Jing patted her hand, "I've had a good life these years, you don't have to worry about me."

Chen nodded with a smile: "It's good that you live well."

As he said that, he glanced outside the door and asked again: "Where is Chengmu, why didn't you see him, he must have grown into a big guy, right?"

"He is taller than the prince now, unfortunately, he took five thousand recruits to Linhai Town for training these days."

"Chengmu can even lead troops?" Xia Ni exclaimed, glanced at her son, and said disgustedly: "The two of my family are not motivated at all, and they only care about their own one-third of an acre of land all day long, and they can't be alone when they go outside. Standing aside, he is still supported by his father."

Xia Jing paid attention to the two boys sitting next to her who were blushing, and smiled: "Everyone's growth environment is different, and the skills they need to master must be different. Regardless of a boy's ability, at least he is caring and sensible. , Big Sister, don't ask too much."

I wanted to say, save some face for the children outside.

Xia Ni disagreed: "The most important thing for a man is to be capable!"

I don't want to delve into this topic, but when I saw Baimei coming over with a tray, Xia Jing waved her to distribute the presents.

Each of the juniors has a copy, pens and ink for boys and jewelry for girls.

It was only now that Chen Shi finally realized that she hadn't asked the junior to greet Xia Jing yet.

Xia Jing didn't care about this, but now she wanted to know more about how the Xia family came to Lingnan, and what happened along the way?
"Mother, don't see each other as a family. Why did you come to Lingnan? Is the disaster in Yanzhou serious?"

Thinking of what she saw and heard along the way, Chen couldn't help shivering, "Oh! It's a long story. We can meet again today, thanks to your father's vigilance."

Father Xia had already seen that the situation was not right, the weather was too abnormal, so he persuaded the village chief to take the whole village out to flee famine in advance.

Otherwise, if you escape later, you may not have the opportunity to go to Jingzhou, and you may not have the opportunity to go to Lingnan again.

"Our whole village fled all the way to the south. Thanks to everyone's unity, resisting foreign enemies, and resisting emergencies, we were able to reach Jingzhou. When we were in Jingzhou, we heard the victims talk about King Qian, and we knew that you came to Lingnan."

Xia Qingshan took a sip of herbal tea, frowned and took the conversation: "We heard that you came to Lingnan, so we discussed with the village chief to join you, but it rained all the time in Guiyang County, and most of the villagers flinched. Only our family has crossed Nanling, and the other villagers have settled down in Guiyang County."

"It's not easy for everyone to walk along the way. If you have a family, you can settle down in Guiyang County." Xia Jing and the villagers don't know each other, so they don't care where they settle down.

Instead, they asked where they lived, "Brother, where do you live now?"

After hearing this, Xia Qingshan answered her: "We are currently staying in the inn, and we didn't bother you when we entered the city too late. The next day, we were delayed for a few days because of the second child's fever, so we kept procrastinating and procrastinating. I just came to see you today."

"How many days have you guys been here?" Only now did Xia Jing realize that Xia Dashu was missing, "What happened to Dashu?"

Xia Dashu, the fourth child of the Xia family, is the youngest of the four siblings of the Xia family.

"I was injured, the wound was infected and had a fever, but the fever has subsided."

Xia Qingshan then told about the bandits they encountered in Lingnan, and finally sighed: "This journey, I can really describe it as a narrow escape, there are no refugees or bandits everywhere, fortunately, my father is old, and he hired a lot of guards before departure. , we can reach Lingnan safely."

Xia Jing nodded: "It's good if the fever subsides. It's not convenient for you to stay in a hotel after all, and... our housing is also in short supply now. In the past two days, I will send someone to look for a house outside, and when the time comes, you will move."

Xia Qingshan waved his hand, "Little sister, don't worry about it, I've already sent someone out to inquire, and we'll notify you when we're done moving."

"Alright, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me." Xia Jing was also straightforward and didn't get entangled in this matter.

Because of the arrival of Xia's family, seven or eight tables were set up for lunch in the backyard of the government office, and it really fulfilled that sentence, the population is thriving!
Xia Jing found out that King Qian, a noble man from heaven, had gotten along well with Daddy Xia and Brother Xia. They exchanged glasses on the wine table and had a good chat.

He played the role of a son-in-law completely, treating his father-in-law respectfully and respecting his uncle.

Sensing the clingy eyes from the table next door, King Qian turned his head to wink playfully at Xia Jing and grinned.

Even Xia Jing didn't expect him to react like this, she was dumbfounded, what does this man mean?
Show credit?

"Hahaha" King Qian laughed out loud at her reaction.

"My lord, what I just said is funny?" Xia Qingshan was puzzled by his laughter.

"I'm so glad to see you guys today, drink and drink." King Qian raised his glass and touched Xia Qingshan.

For the next few days, Xia Jing didn't go out, and while tinkering with saltpeter, she was paying attention to the situation of Xia's family.

"Princess, it's really cool in this room, how do you know that saltpeter can make ice?"

"I saw it in the journal."

Xia Jing was lying on the soft couch, slowly flipping through a medical book in her hand, and casually responded to the maid's question.

During this period of time, she has been exposed to the intense heat of Lingnan, which reminded her of making ice with saltpeter.

Two days ago, I asked the steward to help her buy saltpeter, but I didn't expect to buy it.

"Since making ice is so simple, princess, we can open a shop to sell ice, and sell ice in Lingnan." Baimei imagined the scene, her whole body trembled, "I'm afraid the threshold will be leveled."

"Selling ice?" Xia Jing looked away from the medical book and pondered for a while, "It's feasible, you go and inform shopkeeper Ding, let him hang a sign in the store, and then set a price, and we will launch a new one in two days."

Seeing that her suggestion was adopted, Baimei was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Your maidservant, please go and inform shopkeeper Ding."

After Baimei left, Xia Jing put down the medical book, reflected on herself, and asked, "Did I give too little reward these days, so that you are so preoccupied with how to make money?"

Hongmei pursed her lips and snickered, jokingly said, "Then if you make money selling ice this month, reward her more."

"You can have this!" Xia Jing nodded seriously.

Hongmei was overwhelmed with joy, imitating Baimei's tone and said: "Haha, when that little girl holds the silver, she will definitely say, ah, there is nowhere to spend the silver in Lingnan."

Xia Jing smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Because there are no fashionable jewelry and clothes on Lingnan Street."

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows and shook her head: "It's a pity."

Baimei informed shopkeeper Ding that when she entered the yamen, she met Wu Shi, the sister-in-law of the Xia family.

The two came in one after the other, Xia Jing was slightly surprised, "Why is sister-in-law free today? Is there something at home?"

After sitting down, Mrs. Wu took the almond dew from Hongmei and said, "I have something to trouble you."

"Oh, just say something." Xia Jing sat upright.

Wu Shi took a sip of almond dew, his eyes lit up, this is delicious.

But no matter how delicious it was, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous with my sister-in-law. Putting down the glass, she talked about the purpose of coming here.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that your brother has traveled all over the city in the past few days, but he didn't find a house that suits him, so let me ask you to see if you have any connections and know who wants to sell the house?"

Xia Jing frowned slightly, "Lingnan is not a prosperous place, so why can't you buy a house? What's the matter with your dislike?"

She remembered that the Mou family followed them to Lingnan and found a big house in two days.

Mrs. Wu sighed, "It's not that there are no houses for sale, it's just that the family has a large population, and my parents want to buy a big house where the whole family can live. After all, we're new to Lingnan, and it's safer for everyone to live together. What's the matter?" It’s good to take care of each other.”

Xia Jing nodded, she was new here, and although she was behind her to support her, Father Xia's arrangement was no problem.

Wu continued: "It's just that your elder brother has inquired for a few days, but no one is willing to sell any big house, and we think the small house is too small for a large family to live in."

Xia Jing wouldn't believe that there is no big house for sale in the entire prefecture, there must be something tricky in it!
"I'll ask the housekeeper to investigate this matter, sister-in-law, you go back and tell your parents not to worry, and I will inform you when there is news."

"Okay, this is the best way. We are here, we are not familiar with the place, and we can't understand the words. It's really embarrassing for your elder brother to go out to find out the news."

Seeing Xia Jing's immediate response, Mrs. Wu was relieved. Seeing her husband leaving early and returning late these days, he was exhausted, but his heart ached for her to death.

After seeing Mrs. Wu away, Xia Jing lowered her face, and asked Hongmei to tell Steward Yan, and asked him to send someone to investigate what was going on?

Zeng Yan's work efficiency was as high as ever, and the results of the investigation were handed over to her within two days.

Xia Jing looked at the news in her hand, her pretty face was gloomy, "What a Lingnan family, it's a monolithic family, but I don't know if you are really monolithic and invulnerable?"

Hongmei asked concerned: "Princess, is this a trick of these aristocratic families?"

Xia Jing snorted coldly: "Who would it be if they weren't?"

There was just one thing she couldn't figure out, why did these aristocratic families target the Xia family?
Or are they just targeting households who moved from other places?
