58 Boil the Eagle
Ling Xiang looked at Su Jinhong's situation, not only was it as simple as Concubine Sun sent to visit the patient, no matter how good the Zhuang Wangfu was, how could there be a comfortable mother's family, because he was worried about the injured vulture in the room, he said: "The son is busy with the national funeral, he hasn't come for a few days, I don't know how the pawnshop and the pharmacy business is, you can accompany your father and third uncle to see if you have time, I want to live at home for half a month to serve my mother, my grandmother and aunt are not good to return, and I bother you to deliver a word for me, just say that I will live in Su Mansion for a few days to take care of family affairs, can it be done?"
Mama Zeng didn't know what to do, and said that the girl was a little rude, how could there be a reason for the married daughter to live in her mother's house, so she couldn't help but move around and stand behind Ling Makeup and gently pull her shoulder.
Lian didn't agree either, thinking that their husband and wife were young, living in one house, getting along more, maybe they could get along with each other, but she didn't believe that Su Jinhong would be Liu Xia Hui, and she had some confidence in her daughter's appearance and talent, so she said: "My mother said that she was okay and lived in her mother's house. ”
Ling Xiang snorted almost inaudibly from his nose, Su Jinhong didn't need to make this face at all, he was not there, he could still occupy the big bed to sleep, why pretend to be a loving couple.
Su Jinhong saw Ling Xiang's reluctance, felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the situation has been tense recently, you can accompany your mother-in-law at home, and my grandmother will be there for you." ”
"How can this be done, let's take her back. Lien objected.
Ling Makeup ignored it, stood up and said: "The house has not been lived for a long time, it has lost its popularity, the maids are still in place, and they can't read a few big characters, I'm afraid that I can't find it even if I pack up the books, so I'll go back to the room." ”
Lian couldn't take her, so he only smiled at Su Jinhong.
Su Jinhong didn't have anything: "I'll accompany my father-in-law and third uncle to see the shop." He said goodbye.
Ling Xiang stared at Mama Zeng for a moment.
When they left, Mama Zeng couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the girl is too strong-natured, and she has an idea for everything, which man doesn't love a gentle and obedient wife? ”
Mama Zeng didn't know the truth about Su Jinhong's wife, thinking that the girl had already married once, and now she had climbed to a high door, so she naturally hoped that she would be harmonious and beautiful.
Lian felt sorry for the 200,000 taels of silver that basically didn't come back, and remembered that his daughter's marriage was so unhappy, and sighed again and again.
But said that Ling makeup went back to the room, and a few rough maids were changing the thick curtains for winter outside the house, and she had something in her heart, but she didn't like it, so she went down after changing the curtains in the bright room, and she was not allowed to enter the house.
Ling Xiang went back to the room and put a copy of the map and strange words on the sheepskin in his purse, and went to check the giant vulture, and saw that it had been awake, so he ordered the maid to go to the kitchen to find the meat he bought a few days ago, and brought a large basin.
The bird struggled to move reluctantly, its eyes fierce and lonely, as if it would pounce on it at any moment and peck at the blind, and none of the four maids dared to come forward.
Ling Xiang took the meat with a big spoon and handed it to the eagle's mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Eagle must be hungry, eat it quickly!"
The vulture, however, glared at Ling Xiang with a wary, even disdainful, gaze, and looked away.
Ling Xiang laughed and laughed, the dead bird was shot by a poisonous arrow and fell into the yard, and it was another night, the time is not short, the big city of Kyoto, it is unlikely to have its natural food, the stomach must be hungry, I can't imagine that it is so backbone.
She also read in a book that when the hunters on the grassland boiled eagles, because the eagles were not domesticated, they often starved them to death, but it was the shepherds who controlled the birds and beasts with food, and she didn't think that this flat-haired animal was one level higher.
"Is Brother Eagle worried that the meat is poisonous?" Ling Xiang simply sat down at the table and faced it, "You were injured yesterday, and when you were healing, you cut off a large piece of feathers on your wings, and you probably won't be able to fly far in a short time, and if you don't eat, you will starve to death, and if you starve to death, you won't be able to see your master." And I saved you yesterday, so you don't have to spend a lot of time eating, so you can get better faster and go back early!"
The vulture listened to her, as if she didn't understand, but her strange and ugly face turned back a little.
Ling Makeup was a little proud, no matter how smart it was, it was just a bird, and its mind was limited, so he got up boldly and smoothed the hair on its back.
The vulture's feet suddenly stood on her feet, startling her.
But then, like an ordinary chicken, it lowered its head, and waited for no one to feed it, pecking at a large plate of meat, and at the end it was still unsatisfied, and swallowed the meat on the spoon and swallowed it into its belly.
Ling Xiang smiled slightly and fetched water.
After this interaction, the yin aura on the giant vulture dissipated a lot, and when he looked at Ling Makeup again, he was only lazy, no longer fierce.
Sure enough, it is a spirit bird that understands a little human nature.
Ling Xiang simply tied the sheepskin map and the copper pipe containing the note that he had taken from his feet back to his feet, and said as he tied them: "I took it off yesterday for the purpose of wiping medicine, and now I will tie it back for you, it is estimated that it is something more important to your master, don't lose it." ”
The giant vulture seemed to feel embarrassed, and actually rubbed Ling Xiang's shoulder gratefully, looking very delicate and weird, causing the maids to laugh and laugh, and they were not so afraid.
was smiling, Zhang came in, saw the giant vulture, took a handkerchief to hide his face and was shocked, and soon accepted the unexpected money and moved: "Your mother told me to come and see, and by the way, call the craftsman to clean up the yard for you, did Ah Mei move to the back of the wisteria Xuan to live in the wisteria for a day or two?"
Ling Xiang thought that moving this big bird would inevitably stir up the crowd, and there were many people and troubles when he saw them, so he politely refused: "Uncle don't bother, the days I live in are short, so I will ask a few mothers-in-law in the yard to clean up a little, and then I will get it when I leave." ”
The Zhang family is not a person who has no ideas, but compared to ordinary women, she is extremely open-minded, and she has never listened to Ling Makeup's words more than Lian's, and only deliberately asked a few words about the giant vulture.
Ling Xiang didn't hide it from her, and told her about her concerns.
Zhang said: "I don't know how to deal with big things, Ah Mei has an idea, I listen to it, I will take care of the mouths of the next people." ”
The maid fetched water, cleaned her hands and dried them, and asked Zhang's about the situation in Kyoto.
Zhang said: "Although it is forbidden to enter and exit the city, the curfew time is longer, but it will not be a strike, recently your uncle helped your father buy grain, in case of a war, I heard that the siege is easy to run out of food, and the soldiers can't eat, how can it be the people's turn?"
Ling Xiang thought for a moment, and was disgusted: "Confused, how can Kyoto compare with those important border towns? Isn't Dad afraid that he will be accused of hoarding Juqi again? And if there is a chaos in Beijing, who of us can keep our homes safely? Rich households with food are more likely to attract mobs." ”
"I don't understand either!" Zhang's hands were spread, "how can it be compared? You have never experienced the days of hunger, and if you don't make some preparations in advance, you won't be able to buy it if you want to, and we are not the only ones preparing food outside." ”
Ling Xiang no longer argued with her, read those strange words, and had the intention to go to the Siyi Pavilion, so he asked where his uncle was, saying that he would go to the pharmacy to have a look.
Zhang also said that she liked to go to the pharmacy when she had nothing to do as before, and said with a smile: "Is it stuffy in the palace? Your uncle accompanied your father and uncle out, and I asked someone to prepare a car for you." ”
