You are my golden finger

After taking Madam Wu for a walk in the backyard garden, the two returned to the living room to rest for a while. Lin Xijin estimated that it was about time, so she returned to the ward.

Madam Lin really woke up, but Lin Xijin didn't come over. She lay on the bed and didn't dare to move. Her personal maid was anxiously looking out the door, and it was obvious that both of them were getting anxious.

"Mrs. Lin, are you feeling well?"

"I feel much better and my body doesn't hurt anymore."

She went out with Madam Wu and asked the maid to help Madam Lin change her clothes. Then she explained the precautions to Madam Lin, especially emphasizing that she should walk more every day so that the delivery would be easier.

Mrs. Lin agreed to all of them.

Madam Wu asked Lin Xijin to be there when Madam Lin gave birth, so that she could help her in case of any accidents. Lin Xijin estimated the time and thought that she should still be in Kyoto when Madam Lin gave birth, so she agreed.

After giving some gifts in return and seeing them off, Lin Xijin looked through the gift list presented by the housekeeper. Among the gifts there was a night-shining pearl the size of a pigeon egg, and quite a few jewels. Lin Xijin felt that the rich and powerful in Beijing were really rich, and it seemed that she really needed to do more "robbing the rich to help the poor" activities.

Lin Xijin, Chuntao and a few other kids were sitting in the carriage. Liang Derong was driving the carriage, followed by two guards, and the group was heading towards the farm outside the city.

Several people were watching the scenery outside with great interest.

It must be said that the capitals of the emperors of all dynasties must have been chosen in places with beautiful scenery, abundant resources, outstanding people and good environment. The capital of the Jin Dynasty was no exception.

Kyoto is full of spring at this time, with red flowers and green willows, and the bright spring sunshine shining brightly on the earth.

Before we knew it, we were almost there. The carriage turned into a tree-lined path leading to the village. The path was very narrow, only wide enough for one carriage to pass. If there was another carriage coming from the opposite direction, we had to find a special place to stop and give way.

Liang Derong drove the carriage carefully, observing the road conditions. He saw a carriage parked on the side of the road from a distance. Liang Derong thought the other party wanted him to go first, so he drove the carriage forward. Unexpectedly, the other party also rode his horse onto the road, and the carriage was forced to stop.

At this time, several horses followed behind, and the carriage was completely blocked in the middle. When Lin Xijin saw this situation, she knew that she was being targeted.

However, she couldn't understand why she was targeted so quickly when she had just arrived and didn't know many people, let alone have any enemies.

"Is that Miss Lin, the owner of Lin's Pharmacy, in the car? My master wants to talk to you!" A man who looked like a manager and was riding a horse behind shouted.

"Who is your master? Where is he now?"

"My master is in the farm ahead. You'll know who he is when you get there."

"Tell your master that I won't go!" Lin Xijin hated this kind of behavior of forcing people by force the most. She immediately got angry and said.

"Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Come on, guys, catch these bastards!"

He told Xinfeng and Xihui to guard the carriage and protect his brother and sister, and jumped off the carriage immediately. Liang Derong and the guards had already started fighting with the other party, but they were obviously no match. Lin Xijin raised her hand, and several plum blossom needles sank into the other party's knees, and they knelt down.

Liang Derong and the guards took the opportunity to hit them a few times with the back of their knives, making them look extremely embarrassed.

"Tell me, who is your master? What did he send you here for?" Lin Xijin asked.

Several people lowered their heads and said nothing.

Lin Xijin grabbed the steward and injected him with two needles. The steward immediately started howling like a ghost.

"I'm telling you, please let me go, young lady! My master is Han Weiqi, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he wants to buy your prescription for the medicine."

"Go back and tell him to go to bed and dream! Dreams can hold anything. Get lost!"

Several people were so scared that they quickly climbed off their bikes or rode horses, and left in disgrace, fearing that if they were slow, Lin Xijin would regret it.

Lin Xijin was speechless. How come she had become so popular just after arriving in Kyoto and was being targeted so quickly?

Lin Xijin's good mood was ruined, and she lost interest in viewing the scenery. Fortunately, Zhuangzi also arrived. When the gatekeeper saw that it was Liang Derong driving, he opened the gate and the carriage drove straight in.

Unfortunately, Lin Xijin went out without checking the date today, and bad things happened one after another. As soon as she got off the carriage, she heard crying and scolding.

Following the sound, I saw a girl of about 14 or 15 sitting on the ground, blood streaming down her forehead and onto her patched clothes. The ground was also covered with blood drops. There was also a long trail behind her, and it was obvious that the girl had been dragged here.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xijin remembered the time when she was beaten by Jiang when she first came to this world. She felt sympathy for the girl and couldn't help but step forward.

"What are you doing here? What's going on! Let her go."

"Silly girl, stop meddling in other people's business! This is my family affair." The man dragging the girl said angrily.

"How do you talk to your master like that? You don't want to live!" Liang Derong scolded.

The man dared not say anything and had to let the girl go.

"Master, master, please save me!" The girl crawled in front of Lin Xijin, kowtowing and begging.

"Don't worry, tell me what's going on first."

After the girl's explanation, Lin Xijin understood the truth of the matter.

The girl's name was He Qiumei. Her parents were tenant farmers in the village, and her father was lazy and gluttonous.

I went to the city to drink some time ago, and was lured by an old widower to gamble, and owed gambling debts. Today I want to sell my daughter to the old widower to pay off the debt.

The girl refused to obey and banged her head against the wall, but she didn't die. Unfortunately, even this didn't inspire her father's love for her, and he still wanted to sell her.

"How much did you sell her for?"

"Twenty taels." The man answered in a deep voice.

"I'll give you twenty-five taels if you sell my daughter to me, but you have to sign a severance agreement at the same time as signing the indenture. From now on, she is no longer your daughter."

The man said nothing and nodded in agreement.

Lin Xijin called the village head and asked him to write two documents and have the man sign and stamp them with his fingerprints. He Qiumei did the same.

"Remember, if you behave badly in the future and do something to let down the manor, you can't stay in the manor. Don't blame the manor for kicking you out then." Lin Xijin warned the man.

Give the deed to Liang Derong and ask him to find time to go to the government to have it stamped.

The man took the money and left without looking back.

Lin Xijin asked Chuntao to give one or two taels of silver to the village head's wife, and asked her to take He Qiumei downstairs to wash and find some clothes for her to change into.

The village head's wife took the money and happily left with her people.
