Chapter 41: The Capital
Zhao Qingzao is not as careful as Shen Changting, what she is thinking about now is how to live a good life.
It's lucky to meet a guy like Shen Changting, although there is no shadow for the time being, but after all, Shen Changting can tolerate her nonsense, although this kind of nonsense is not a big deal in her opinion, but in this world, she is really out of place like this, so she cherishes such a day.
She felt that if she didn't seize the opportunity now and make more capital for her future, she would be very insecure, which was out of fear of this cruel world.
She can't avoid this world, she can only integrate, and this requires her to have enough ability to control it.
So no matter what, she will try her best to seize the present, there is nothing else to do at present, and she can only think more about ideas and make money.
Shen Changting is a scholar, and he lacks tactfulness by nature, if he wants to rely on Shen Changting all the time, it is difficult to have any guarantee, unless Shen Changting's personality can be more mature, otherwise she can only rely on herself and slowly teach Shen Changting by word and deed, which is also a long-term project.
As for other careful thoughts, it's useless to think about it, it's better to be down-to-earth.
After being busy with the small vegetable patch, she also has a new understanding of farming, although it seems difficult, but it is really not so difficult.
In the afternoon of the same day, she carried a bucket and carried some water in the river, watered the vegetable patch, and blocked the yard with things so that the chickens would not get in.
"Do you want to get a pig or a chicken or something?"
While busy, Zhao Qingzao was thinking about whether to raise some poultry, chickens and pigs are the best to feed in this year, chickens, there are many weeds and insects in this ravine, and I don't see anyone who wants to feed rice or something, they all grow on their own.
Pigs are mainly used to eat some wild boar grass, and digest the leftovers at home by the way, and it is impossible to have leftovers at home without surplus leftovers, after all, it is difficult to eat enough, and the rest can only be given some pigweed.
However, Zhao Qingzao thought about it, and finally gave up, she felt that Shen Changting was not necessarily willing to let her do it, at least raising pigs was absolutely not good.
Neither road will work, for the time being, Zhao Qingzao can only suppress this matter, and wait for a while to watch, it is not a day or two to live, so it is useless to be in a hurry.
Time passed slowly like this, and the next day, after breakfast, Shen Changting began to copy the book again, and by the evening, a book had been copied.
After breakfast on the third day, Zhao Qingzao untied the cloth that Shen Changting was holding in his right hand.
"Hey, I'm recovering well, I'm not infected. ”
Zhao Qingzao looked at Shen Changting's two scalded wounds, and found that they had already formed scars, and washed off a layer of soot on them, and suddenly there was only a thin layer of blood scars, and there were no signs of decay and infection inside.
"Yes, yes, pretty fast. Shen Changting was also very satisfied with this, and joked: "You are still skillful, much better than the doctor." ”
"You can laugh at me for not being knowledgeable, huh, but I know a lot more about dirt than you do. Zhao Qingzao was a little speechless.
When she mentioned Tufazi, she thought of the child's urine again, and suddenly her heart was dripping blood sadly.
"Okay, okay, you're good. ”
Shen Changting has been fed very well by Zhao Qingzao in the past two days, after all, Zhao Qingzao has really eaten a bite, which makes his belly bulge every time he eats.
"By the way, I'm going to go to town later, return the original book, and see if I can get some more work. ”
After thinking about it, Shen Changting finally spoke tentatively, after all, he had been busy with Zhao Qingzao in the past two days, and he was also infected, so he felt that he should be more diligent.
After all, he is a big man, he pestles at home all day long, and he keeps a little girl busy, and he is a little unhappy on his face.
"Can you afford to eat your body? If you want me to say that you still have to recuperate at home, your body is the capital, and if your body collapses, no matter how much money you earn, you have to lose it." ”
Zhao Qingzao frowned slightly, she knew that although Shen Changting was not a diligent person, he was not a person who loved to enjoy Qingfu, and besides, there was no one to talk to at home on weekdays, and he was bored.
"It's okay, it's all old and sick, it's been there for a long time, you can rest assured, I have my own body. Shen Changting said leisurely.
"Well, you're feeling bored at home anyway, but I want to go with you. Zhao Qingzao said, revealing the fox's tail.
Shen Changting was taken aback, remembering the last time Zhao Qingzao copied it with the bookstore shopkeeper, and couldn't help but say cautiously: "What are you going to do?"
"Go to the town and ask if there are any medicinal herbs that can be grown, and if you plan to plant some medicinal herbs or something, by the way, I will help you grow your eyes. Zhao Qingzao glared at Shen Changting as he spoke, "What's the matter, are you worried that I will cause trouble for you?"
As far as Shen Changting is concerned, how can Zhao Qingzao not see what he is thinking.
"I'm not afraid that you'll go and copy it from the bookstore shopkeeper again. ”
Shen Changting muttered, and then warned: "It's okay for you to go, but don't quarrel with the shopkeeper again." ”
"Don't worry, I promise not, unless he bullies people again and treats people as fools. Zhao Qingzao said very simply.
"You!"
Shen Changting suddenly didn't know what to say, sighed, and said: "After all, we are waiting for food at the place where people's chins are eating, and it is not good to offend too much, in case we lose our jobs, we will really have to drink the northwest wind at that time." ”
said with some emotion: "You don't understand, the most useless is a scholar, unless you have fame, otherwise, what can you do, not to mention my body, I don't have the ability to do anything else." ”
Zhao Qingzao was also a little silent, but the reality was very cruel, she had to admit that what Shen Changting said was reasonable, but after thinking about it, she still said: "This is not necessarily, you are a scholar after all, you write letters for people on weekdays, there are red and white ceremonies and the like, I think you can help, so don't worry." ”
After all, they are scholars, intellectuals, and scholars are very precious in these years, how can they be so easy to fall down.
Shen Changting was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Qingzao to be clear about these Yemeni children, and immediately smiled: "Those don't make much money by copying books." ”
"Then it's not bad to find a landlord's house and be a bookkeeper or a teacher. ”
"When the time comes, it's not good now. ”
"That's right, don't worry, I won't make a mess, but you really think that the shopkeeper of the bookstore is willing to let you go. ”
Zhao Qingzao pursed his lips, feeling that Shen Changting's worries were a little redundant.
Shen Changting smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's what I said, I can't compare to ordinary people." ”
"Let's go, let's see what you can do. ”
"Good. ”
After telling a joke, in the end, Zhao Qingzao simply locked the door and followed Shen Changting out.
When I came to the entrance of the village under the sun, I found that I didn't have to wait, there was an ox cart parked, and I hadn't pulled it up yet, Zhao Qingzao didn't think about it, so he paid the money and got on the ox cart with a heartache.
With the lesson from last time, she doesn't plan to stick to walking now.
Halfway through March, although the sun has not yet reached the top of the head, the heat is still hot.
Zhao Qingzao was also used to this, and she didn't feel anything, but after she walked for long, she found that Shen Changting's forehead began to sweat, and even her breathing became a little short, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"What's wrong with you, still can't take it?"
Zhao Qingzao frowned, he hadn't seen Shen Changting so squeamish before, why did he look like it was worse after resting for two days, isn't the medicine right?
For a while, Zhao Qingzao's heart sank.
Shen Changting looked at Zhao Qingzao's worried face, smiled, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little boring, it's not in the way." ”
"Are you alright?"
Zhao Qingzao stared at Shen Changting with straight eyes, and said, "Don't lie to me, how do you feel, I hope you explain to me, I really want to think of ideas, even if I can't think of a way, let me feel at ease." ”
"It's really okay, it's a little hot, a little unbearable, it's not a big deal, if it's really that serious, it's not like I can't survive on that hot day. Shen Changting smiled and opened his mouth absently.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao's heart was relieved, and he immediately said angrily: "That medicine seems to have no effect after taking it, and the doctor who sees a doctor is also a useless waste, so I know that making black money is really not a thing." ”
Zhao Qingzao remembered the medicine she bought for a tael of silver, and she suddenly became angry, she had already guessed that the doctor was of no great use, but after spending so much money, there was no improvement at all, which immediately made her angry.
"Okay, what's the use of you being angry at this time, didn't you say it, this old problem, I won't wait until now if I can think of a way. Shen Changting said, his face a little bitter.
"It's all caused by quacks, and if you can't cure it, you just say, why bother making people money, and the medical ethics are all eaten by dogs. ”
Zhao Qingzao complained angrily.
"Hey, I said sister, what kind of illness does your husband have, why don't you go to the next village to find the goddess?"
At this moment, the driver of the car smiled and spoke, apparently hearing the conversation between the two.
"Asthma, can the goddess cure it?" Zhao Qingzao replied angrily.
She was in a hurry, but she didn't expect the coachman to start introducing some goddesses again, so she didn't believe in those gods and goddesses.
"This ......," the coachman was speechless.
Even those who have never seen it know that there is no cure for asthma these days.
But soon, the coachman came back to his senses and persuaded: "This is really not easy to treat, but you still have to go and see, I see Zhang Ergou's daughter-in-law in the next village, who was seriously ill last year, couldn't get out of bed, but the goddess knocked once, prescribed two doses of medicine, and within three days, it was completely cured." ”
Hell you believe you.
Zhao Qingzao sneered in his heart, but he didn't want to offend people, so he immediately smiled and said, "I'll take a look when I have time." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Changting again, and said seriously: "You're really fine, what should you do in the summer?"
At this time, the weather is not hot, and after a while in the sun, the doctor will gasp, and he will not pant like a dog in the summer, in case he can't breathe up......
The more Zhao Qingzao thought about it, the more he felt his heart cold.
"It's okay, it's not so bad in the summer. Shen Changting smiled and comforted.
Zhao Qingzao saw that Shen Changting seemed to have no other symptoms except for some severe wheezing, and gradually became relieved, but he still said worriedly: "This is not a problem, I still have to find a good doctor to see if it is appropriate." ”
"Don't worry about it, I can't even see the doctors in the capital with this illness, let alone the doctors in this town, how much knowledge they can have. ”
Shen Changting shrugged helplessly.
However, Zhao Qingzao's heart jumped violently when he heard this, and he glared and said, "Beijing?
Shen Changting fell silent instantly, as if he didn't want to say more about this matter.
