The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 60: First meeting with Xie

He decided to send a team of yamen runners to patrol Qingshui Hutong to help her.

The Jian family returned home, already weak and out of breath. Qian Shi didn't even have the energy to scold Jian Yue.

Pozi You and Pozi Meng also felt sore and weak all over, and they didn't even have the strength to walk.

Jian Yue took a few quick steps and entered Jian Xiaohe's room.

"Jian Zhaodi, what are you doing in my room?" Jian Xiaohe was angry and resentful. She was very afraid of Jian Zhaodi now.

She is so evil! Even the killer with great martial arts skills can't do anything to her.

Jian Yue bolted the door as soon as she entered.

"You, what do you want to do?" Jian Xiaohe's lips trembled with fear. Could it be that she wanted to take this opportunity to do something bad to herself?

Jian Yue smiled evilly, and the long needle in her hand unexpectedly stabbed Jian Xiaohe.

Jian Xiaohe opened her eyes wide in horror, but before she could make a sound, she fell into coma.

Jian Yue put her on the ground, took off the sheets on the bed, and took out a clean bed from the closet.

There was a pink mosquito net hanging over Jian Xiaohe's bed, with a few elegant little flowers embroidered on it.

Jian Yue crawled into the mosquito net and went to sleep.

If the Jian family wanted to join forces with outsiders to plot against her, don't blame her for being ruthless. Before dawn, she secretly put some drugs on the pork frozen in the well. Didn't the Jian family fall into the trap again? This time, she would let them delay for a few days.

If the successor of the poison doctor school can't even deal with a few ordinary people, wouldn't he be a disgrace to his master?

Oh! I have to find someone to fix the door tomorrow.

Jian Yue fell asleep thinking about this.

The next day, Jian Yue got up early, washed up, and went to Yue's house.

Doctor Mao and Yun Zhonghe both lived in Yue's house. The three of them had breakfast together, and Jian Yue assigned a carpenter to repair the door of Jian's house and told him how to ask for money from Jian's family.

Then, Jian Yue bought a piece of thick lake blue linen at the nearest cloth shop. She drew a simple picture of a crossbody bag and asked the maid who was good at sewing to make it.

Among the maids newly bought yesterday, there were two who were particularly good at needlework, named Yuexiang and Dingxiang. Jian Yue gave them cross-body bags to try out.

Jian Yue was at the side, explaining why they had to do this. The two maids were both fifteen or sixteen years old, deft and quick-witted, and they understood immediately after Jian Yue explained.

In order to speed up the work, Mu Xiang and Chen Xiang also joined in. With strength in numbers, a crossbody bag embroidered with grass leaves and flowers was quickly completed.

Jian Yue carried her on her back, and the maids exclaimed in amazement.

At first they didn't understand why a one-foot-long bag had two long straps and a lid-like thing, but now they understand. So this strange-looking bag is used like this. Not to mention, it looks very nice and is very convenient to carry. There are several compartments inside. It is also covered with waterproof tarpaulin. Even if it rains, the inside will not get wet.

Jian Yue couldn't help but marvel at Yuexiang and Dingxiang's embroidery skills. They embroidered a few simple blades of grass and a small flower so vividly that they looked just like the real thing.

She really found a treasure.

Around 9:00 p.m., the department manager arrived with two horse-drawn carriages.

This time when Jian Yue went to Taihe Building for the apprenticeship ceremony, she brought Muxiang with her. Muxiang dressed up as a medicine boy and said that she was a helper sent by the master.

In short, in the eyes of outsiders, she is now just a peasant girl with nothing.

Today, the gate of Taihe Building was once again filled with luxury cars. Many dignitaries who heard the news wanted to meet Dr. Mao's new apprentice. When they heard that she was a little farm girl from the countryside, everyone became even more curious. What was so special about a farm girl that caught Dr. Mao's eye?

Manager Feng of Taihe Building personally greeted us at the door.

The screen partitions on the second floor have been removed, leaving only two tables in the middle, which are specially used for the miracle doctor to recruit disciples.

There would definitely be a lot of people watching the miracle doctor's acceptance of his apprentice, so he had the entire second floor cleared out.

Doctor Mao is a mysterious dragon that is hard to find. Even the dignitaries and officials can hardly see him. But he has been frequently visiting Taihe Building recently, which has increased the reputation of Taihe Building and brought it huge profits. Shopkeeper Feng had already planned that the doctor's meals would be free of charge. He would also be given the best treatment.

Shopkeeper Feng was all smiles as he enthusiastically let Dr. Mao and his companions into Taihe Building. Several guards who had been waiting at the door escorted them upstairs.

All the dignitaries who wanted to meet Dr. Mao were stopped by the guards.

The officials who came today were very low-key, none of them wore official uniforms, and they brought their families with them. Even if they were wearing official uniforms, Jian Yue would not recognize them. However, she knew Magistrate He and the Lord of the House.

Doctor Mao sat in the main seat, and Yun Zhonghe sat down beside him. Jian Yue made tea herself, pouring a cup for each of the two masters, and finally poured herself some.

As soon as Jian Yue put down the teapot, Mu Xiang was very attentive and added water to the teapot. Even Dr. Mao's medicine boy Nan Xing couldn't help.

Soon, the owner of the mansion and his family arrived.

The owner of the mansion, Yan Xiuyuan, has one son and two daughters. The eldest daughter was born to his ex-wife, Jian Yue, who was swapped. The legitimate son and the youngest daughter were both born to his step-wife, Xie.

After Doctor Mao and Yan Xiuyuan exchanged pleasantries, they sat down. The women of the mansion owner's family sat at another table.

The original owner had a memory of a person named Xie, who was gentle and pretty, and always spoke in a soft and gentle voice. She was the original owner's idol and an unattainable person.

In the original owner's memory, Xie did not appear very often. Every time they met, she would leave a good impression on the original owner.

Good impression?

Perhaps the original owner didn't know people well and was deceived by Xie's appearance?

The first time Jian Yue saw Xie, she felt uncomfortable. Xie had a pretty face, and she smiled even when she saw someone without saying anything, which made her look gentle and generous. But if you look closely at her eyes, you will find that her smile does not reach her eyes, and most of the time it is just an official fake smile.

"Sister Zhaodi, today is such an important day, why didn't Uncle Jian and Aunt Jian come?" Jian Yue had to admit that Yan Xinning was very good at pretending to be a white lotus. If you were a little slow to react, you would be led astray by her.

Jian Yue put on a fake smile and said in a clear voice: "Ms. Yan, Master has changed my name. I am no longer Zhao Di, but Jian Yue. As for why my parents didn't come, it's because they ate spoiled pork and had diarrhea, so they couldn't come."

"You must be wondering, out of a family of five, four of them had diarrhea, but I was fine. That's because I overslept in the morning and didn't cook for the whole family, so my mother didn't allow me to eat, so I luckily escaped. Miss Yan, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Yan Xinning's face flushed, and a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. Although it was fleeting, it was still noticed by the sharp-eyed Jian Yue.

Oh! You can’t bear this? We are just getting started!

Yan Xinning's eyes turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "Sister Zhaodi, I just asked casually, but you said so many sarcastic words. If you don't want to ask, I won't say anything." She turned around and said...
