Chapter 113: Porridge and Medicine Shop
Feng Yunning's loss of power, Xiao Yu soon learned.
The Duke of Anguo sent someone to pick up Lu Rongrong again, unlike last time, this time it was the Marquis of An Guo who personally sent someone to come, and his attitude towards Lu Rongrong was very respectful, what else did Xiao Yu not understand.
I'm afraid that An Guohou already knows Lu Rongrong's identity.
Feng Yunning has been sparing no effort to deal with him, just because she was afraid that his identity would cause her to do the old things, but she didn't expect him to be good at all, and Feng Yunning planted it herself.
Xiao Yu was not surprised at all. Feng Yunning's character, it is a miracle that she can survive until now.
Lu Rongrong whispered to the housekeeper of the Anguo Mansion on the side of the street for a long time, and then walked back in a daze.
In the afternoon, a woman came to Guang'an Hall.
As soon as Lu Rongrong saw her, he first shrank under the medicine cabinet with a little weakness, and the woman saw her at a glance, pinched her waist and walked over violently, and a few young men couldn't stop her.
"Okay, you! You damn girl! Why didn't I find out you were so seeded?! I just scolded you a few words, and you dared to run away with your younger brothers and sisters, and you fled to the capital! Your wings are stiff, I can't control you anymore! As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Rongrong with his arm twisted, and raised his slap to slap her head and face and screamed.
Lu Rongrong shouted while hiding: "I was wrong, mother, I know I was wrong!" So many people are looking at you, you don't fight! ”
"I'll fight, I'll beat you! I've been pulling you with a handful of and urine for more than ten years, and I just beat too little to dare to make such a mess! ”
Xiao Yu saw that although the peasant woman was thin but very capable and powerful, and a few slaps were also slapping to the flesh, he felt pain when he heard it, so he hurriedly asked Erjiu to step forward to help pull her away.
Lu Rongrong took the opportunity to hide behind Xiao Yu, and only poked a face and said, "Mother, I apprenticed to learn art, this is my master." I have two taels of silver a month, and my younger brothers and sisters are fine. ”
Xiao Yu smiled at the peasant woman, and the peasant woman lost her pungent energy just now, and pulled her clothes a little crampedly, and made a four-way salute.
"Much, thank you for taking my daughter, she didn't trouble you, I'll take her back, don't dare to work on the young master anymore."
Xiao Yu said with a smile: "The eldest lady is too worried, Rong Rong has helped the medicine hall a lot, and I am afraid that I will treat her badly with two taels of silver per month." ”
The peasant woman laughed and rubbed her hands uncomfortably.
Xiao Yu asked Lu Rongrong to take the peasant woman to the backyard and let the two of them talk alone.
I don't know what Lu Rongrong said, when the woman came out again, it was obviously much easier than when she came, and she thanked Xiao Yu for her kindness, and was taken by Lu Rongrong to the small courtyard where she lived temporarily.
Lu Rongrong's courtyard was also rented by Xiao Yu, just across the wall of Guang'an Hall. The younger brothers and sisters live in front of him, so that Lu Rongrong can rest assured that he can go to Guang'an Hall to do things.
The peasant woman lived in the small courtyard next door, and occasionally came to Guang'an Hall to help with some chores, and everyone called her Aunt Lu.
Xiao Yu knew that she was probably still waiting for her biological son, the eldest young master of the Anguo Mansion.
The Anguo Mansion later sent people to come twice, but Lu Rongrong was reluctant to go back, and the An family no longer insisted. Thinking about it, although Lu Rongrong is An Zaiqing's blood and blood, and he is indeed innocent, but after that deception, An Zaiqing probably doesn't want to see this daughter born to Feng Yunning.
It's just that I don't know what happened to the eldest young master of the An family now, and Feng Yunning never appeared in front of him again.
When I wanted to ask Doctor Feng, Doctor Feng only reassured him, and didn't say much else, and Xiao Yu didn't have much energy to pay attention to the affairs of the An family.
Xie Jingxiu has been away from Beijing for two months, and the days have entered May, when the grass grows and the warbler flies, which is the season of more rain at the turn of spring and summer, but this year seems to be a little disturbingly dry.
Aunt Lu said: "This southwest wind blows day and night, our agricultural proverb says that the sky is dry and blows the night wind, and the clouds in the sky are blown away, and the sky is so blue that it is dyed like a painting, which is going to be dry." ”
Xiao Yu opened a medical center, not to grow food and rely on the sky to eat, he didn't feel much about the drought or not.
Guang'an Tang is gradually on the right track, surgery is not every day, and it is natural to treat conservatively with traditional Chinese medicine, and Xiao Yu also followed Dr. Feng and Dr. Qin to learn the diagnostic method of looking at and seeing.
It was getting closer and closer to the March period that Xie Jingxiu said, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but pinch his fingers and calculate it after getting up every day to see when he would come back.
It's not that he is looking forward to Xie Jingxiu. If he knew when his eldest young master would arrive, he would be better prepared for the best state in advance, so as to save Xie Shizi from picking his nose and eyes again, in case he was unhappy somewhere, the unhappy Xie Shizi would definitely not make him happy.
On the day of departure, Xie Shizi took his mouth all the way because of his wrong expression, which was so arrogant that he had no humanity!
didn't wait for Xie Jingxiu to come back, but something big happened in Guang'an Hall.
At the beginning, Xie Jingxiu withdrew funds from the Jian Family Medical Center, and the Jian family's porridge medicine shop was unable to sustain itself, so Xie Jingxiu ordered someone to re-establish the Shantang Porridge and Medicine in the name of Guang'an Hall. These were all managed by Xie Jingxiu, and Xiao Yu never asked. In the early morning of this day, a young man ran to Guang'an Hall with a body injury and reported to him with a frightened face.
"World ...... The princess, our porridge medicine shop was smashed! ”
"What's going on?" Xiao Yu hurriedly asked the guy to sit down in a chair, and he wanted to go forward to check his injuries.
Where did the young man dare to let him check, he knelt down and said, "Princess, I'm fine, it's just some skin injuries." The shop still has to be decided by the princess, how to end it?! ”
Xiao Yu frowned and said, "What happened?" ”
The young man Niu drank a cup of tea and moistened his throat, and then said hurriedly: "We don't know exactly what's going on." Our shop has been open for a few months, and things are on the right track. According to the requirements of the prince, each shop boiled ten barrels of thick porridge every day, and prepared ten baskets of commonly used medicinal materials for the people who came to ask for porridge and medicine. According to the rules set by the prince, each of the elderly, weak, women and children can have three bowls of free porridge per day, and they must be eaten in the hall and not taken out. If others want to drink porridge, they have to exchange money or rice grain, and they don't want much, which is a meaning. In this way, some lazy people are not so easy to take advantage of. The small estimate is probably this one, which annoys some idle ruffians. A few months ago, there was nothing, but yesterday suddenly a group of people gathered outside the doors of various shops, shouting and scolding, saying that our Guang'an Hall is not really giving kindness to the people, but ......"
The young man seemed to be a little outspoken, and wanted to fool the past.
Xiao Yu said: "It's okay for you to say it directly, don't leave a word behind." ”
The young man paused, and said embarrassedly: "They said that Guang'an Hall seized the things of the Jian Family Medical Pavilion, and Miss Jian Sixth was honest and honest for the people at the beginning, and did not want to give anything in return." Guang'an Tang is, but it is-" He peeked at Xiao Yu, and saw that Xiao Yu was just waiting for him to continue, so he simply crossed his neck and poured beans into a bamboo tube and poured out all his beans: "It is said that Guang'an Tang's shop was made by the princess in order to buy her reputation, and it is not for the people at all." Said that the princess robbed Miss Jian Liu of what she should have, and said that you are not as good as Miss Jian Liu, they want to knock down the shop in Guang'an Hall and welcome Miss Jian Liu back. ”
The young man finished speaking in one breath and let out a long breath.
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Miss Jane Six? Is this a coincidence, or is someone doing it on purpose?
The man said, "Princess, when I came, those people had already started to smash up. There are dozens of middle-aged men outside each shop, and there are only a few guys in our shop who give porridge and medicine, and we can't beat so many people, and I don't know what happened now! ”
Xiao Yu nodded: "I know everything, I've worked hard for you." ”
The guy didn't dare to say anything, Xiao Yu asked people to take him down, and asked Qin Jing to go and show him the injury.
Only Xiao Yu and Twenty-Nine Hundred Spirits were left in the room, and Twenty-Nine said, "Princess Shizi, what are you going to do?" ”
Bai Ling glared at Erjiu. She always felt that since Xie Shizi went out, this Erjiu pair of princesses was not as respectful as in front of Xie Shizi, and her attitude of occasionally expressing Xiàn was quite annoying.
Xiao Yu was not as sensitive as Bai Ling, he pondered for a moment, and said, "How many shops are there now?" How many people are available under you? Let's split up and calm things down. ”
Erjiu nodded, and prepared to go out and act according to the order.
"That's right." Xiao Yu stopped him, "Even if our guards have kung fu, they will always be invincible with two fists. If the other party has a lot of people and really can't persuade him, he doesn't have to care about what happens to the shop, let the guards take the people in the shop to retreat first, and then say, a few buckets of rice and a few baskets of medicinal materials, we are still willing to afford it. ”
2911 responded, turned around and went out to arrange.
Xie Jingxiu's guards were indeed very efficient and powerful, and they rescued all the people working in the porridge and medicine shop that night, some of whom were recruited locally, and they were all properly sent home. The other people who went out from Xie Jingxiu's hands were pulled back one by one.
Xiao Yu nodded with great satisfaction. Since the shop has been smashed, let's close it for the time being, and let him fiddle with it when Xie Jingxiu comes back.
Xiao Yu can run a medical center, but he doesn't have the confidence to manage a porridge medicine shop.
Before noon the next day, some rumors came into Xiao Yu's ears.
It turned out that Miss Jian Liu heard that the porridge and medicine shops in Guang'an Hall were closed, so in order to prevent the vast number of poor people from going hungry, she resolutely stepped into the threshold of the major high-ranking families in the capital, and used her noble reputation to solicit funds from the daughters of the ladies of the house.
With the lintel of the Jian family's century-old apricot forest family and Miss Jian Liu's personal guarantee of good character, in less than three days, she raised a large amount of money, purchased medicinal materials and ingredients, and sent them to the edge of the village 100 miles away from Beijing.
There was no house, so she ordered people to use the sky as a curtain, build a stove on the flat ground, boil rice porridge with incense for ten miles, and pile all kinds of medicinal herbs in baskets on the ground, waiting for those who need them to pick them up.
Whether it is in the countryside or a high-ranking family, Miss Jian Liu has become the most prestigious talking point among the people for a while.
