Chapter Eighty-Four: Fang Zi is too expensive
When Gu Zhirong came back, Cai's mother was fighting in the casino in the front yard.
She rolled up her sleeves high, quite gearing up, shouting loudly, her eyes staring at the table, her breathing was short, what was the slightest bit of Sven in the Yuanhou Mansion? She had to admit that this was the best day of her luck since she was born!
At first, her luck was not very good, winning and losing, and whenever she felt that it was not interesting, she won again, and so unhurriedly tempted her. In the end, all the money came towards her. She was secretly glad that she didn't leave early, otherwise, how could she win more of this silver?
The little guy was very kind, and came over to tell her that Dr. Wu was about to be diagnosed, so she reluctantly said goodbye to the front yard, came to the backyard, and counted them, there were dozens of silver tickets in her hand, adding up to three or four hundred taels of silver!
She smiled so hard that the corners of her mouth almost closed, put the silver ticket away, and walked briskly through the small door towards the backyard. Of course, she did not forget to thank the little servant who had guided her to the front yard and stuffed him with a silver ticket of fifty taels of silver. The little girl is also very good at looking at the eyes, smiling and saying words of thanks, and graciously bringing tea to quench her thirst.
Cai's mother was really thirsty, drank a cup of tea, and when she arrived in the backyard, she saw that Gu Zhirong had come out, glanced at Cai's mother, and said curiously: "Where did Cai's mother go?"
Of course, Cai's mother couldn't say that she went to the casino in the front yard, and she rolled her eyes and said, "I just had some pain in my lower abdomen, so I went to the toilet." ”
Gu Zhirong became nervous: "Mother Cai can't have eaten the wrong thing? Let's let him show Cai's mother. ”
Cai's mother was stunned for a moment, she forgot that she was in Dr. Wu's house. But she's a good person. So he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss doesn't have to worry about the old slave, the old slave is not in the way." I also have medicine at home, so I can eat it when I go back, so I don't have to bother Dr. Wu. ”
Gu Zhirong was still not very relieved: "Mom is really okay?"
Today's Mother Cai is in a very good mood, listening to Gu Zhirong's words, she feels very intimate, and thinks in her heart: This fifth lady is still a caring person, why didn't she find out before?
The favorability increased, and Gu Zhirong's tone was much kinder, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Miss Fifth for your concern, the old slave is really fine." That's when she remembered the purpose of her trip. glanced at Dr. Wu, who was standing next to him, and asked, "Is the girl's illness cured?"
Gu Zhirong smiled and said, "Doctor Wu's medical skills are excellent, he must see it well." Just now, Dr. Wu prescribed the prescription, I took a look, this prescription is really different from usual......" Speaking of this, she took out the prescription and handed it to Cai's mother, "Cai's mother, look at it, how is this prescription?"
Of course, she knew that Cai's mother couldn't understand this recipe. But if you grab medicine, you have to go through the eldest lady who presides over the feeding in the house, isn't it? She means that I gave you the prescription, and you can hand it over to the eldest lady.
Of course, Mother Cai understood what Gu Zhirong meant, and put away the recipe with a smile: "Fifth Miss don't worry. I went back to the eldest lady for this prescription, and immediately ordered someone to boil the medicine. To be honest, the eldest lady is really concerned about the young lady's condition. These diaries are hung with the young lady's illness and she hasn't slept well, and the eldest lady has also said it. Even if it's a sky-high price of medicine, you have to cure the young lady. ”
Gu Zhirong was silent: "Then there is Lao Cai's mother." ”
The medicine that was prescribed by that prescription. It's really a sky-high drug!
As soon as she returned to the Yuanning Hou Mansion, Gu Zhirong broke her hair, washed and slept, she was a patient, of course she had to rest more. And Cai's mother took a prescription and went straight to the Juping Courtyard where the eldest lady was.
As soon as the price of the formula came out, the eldest lady's face changed: "Why does a prescription need so much silver?"
Mother Cai said with a bitter face, "Big lady, you know that the old slave has always been cautious, and he is afraid of being ridiculed." Before returning home, I also specially looked for Renhetang, Bao'an Tang, Yuqingtang and other famous pharmacies, and those doctors said that this prescription is really a rare prescription, which has a miraculous effect on the treatment of sores, and within three days, it is absolutely cured, and there is no trace of scarring. The old slave was skeptical and couldn't make up his mind, so he specially came to ask the eldest lady. ”
The eldest lady stared at the square, gritting her teeth incessantly. Five hundred taels of silver, how can there be such an expensive recipe in the world! Is it true that what is eaten and what is applied outside are all silver? The eldest lady thought to herself, even if you beat five hundred taels of silver into powder, this amount is probably heavier than the medicinal herbs in this recipe, right?
"Eldest lady......" Mother Cai looked at the eldest lady, thought about it, and said cautiously, "Why don't we hire another doctor who is not so expensive?"
The eldest lady was silent for a long time, and Fang waved her hand and said: "This doctor was nominated by Imperial Doctor Hu of the Taiyi Pavilion, so it must be needless to say that his medical skills are ...... Well, let's take the medicine according to this prescription. ”
Speaking of this, the eldest lady's face turned from decadence to anger, and she almost roared: "We must cure that dead girl's disease! We must let her attend the birthday banquet of the noble concubine! Otherwise, our previous efforts will not be in vain?!"
Mother Cai was startled by the eldest lady's sharp roar, seeing that the eldest lady's eyes were wide open, her face was flushed, and there were faint green tendons beating on her forehead, with a hideous appearance, she couldn't help but feel a chill rising from the bottom of her heart, shrunk her neck, and then dared to say out: "Don't be too anxious, don't hurt your body, that five little, oh no, that dead Nizi is dying, how about letting her live happily for a few days?"
The eldest lady sat up hatefully, panting: "It's really annoying, I can't bear it for a moment, you go into the palace now, bring a few boxes of Changbai Mountain old ginseng to the concubine, and tell her, that thing must be foolproof, that girl can't stay in our house anymore." ”
Cai's mother nodded hurriedly. She knew why the eldest lady was so anxious. Now that the autumn is approaching, the eldest son's piece of material that is not reading is hopeless, and the eldest lady thinks of the one who can read in the second room, and her breath is blocked. Therefore, since the eldest prince ran away from home once, the eldest lady did not plan to force him to study, so she thought about donating an official for him, so that he would have a good relationship in the future, which required a large sum of silver.
As for the second lady, since she has communicated with the old lady and set a plan to lower the contract, the issue of the dowry must be taken care of, and the face of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion must not be lost. This is the marriage of the future crown princess, and sixty-four is necessary, right? Where does this money come from? I can only make up my mind about the rich property left by the third room.
Therefore, the urgent need in front of the eldest lady is to get the fifth lady out as soon as possible, this kind of "getting" is not to find a good family for her, but to ruin her reputation first. Then, like Miss Seven, just match an old man who has died with a mother-in-law or something, and you can't be the main room, you must be the role of an aunt, so it's much easier. If you marry an aunt, you can't enter the main gate of your husband's house, and you have to enter through the side door, can you use so much dowry? In this way, the property of the third room will be left in the mansion of the Marquis of Yuanning, and then the matter will be completed, and the next thing is to discuss with the old lady how to divide this huge property.
Sure enough, she is the general's own sister, and she is ruthless enough to do things, even Cai's mother has to admire it. But, after all, the third room has always treated her well, and those who celebrate the New Year still remember her. Cai's mother thought about it and felt that she couldn't be too desperate, so she was looking for an opportunity to give Miss Five a mouthful, as for the result, it could only depend on Miss Five's life.
