Chapter 8
When Xiao Yezi came back, he saw Shen Juren standing in the courtyard talking to Aunt Qin, and his little brother Shen Yu was squatting on the ground to watch the ants, and when he saw her coming in, he called out softly to his sister.
Xiao Yezi smiled at Shen Yu, and stopped to say hello to Shen Juren, she said, "My mother has taken the medicine given by Master Juren, and her body is much better." ”
Shen Juren also laughed, and he said, "That's good." ”
Aunt Qin also went to see Gu Sanniang just now, although her face was still a little pale, but she was able to sit up and say a few words, it seems that this Shen Juren still has some real skills.
"I wrote a prescription for your mother, you go directly to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, the medicinal materials in it are not very expensive, and when you buy it, show it to me."
Shen Zhuo knew that Gu Niangzi's mother and daughter were from poor families, and it would cost a lot of money to ask for a doctor to take medicine, so when he got up in the morning, he wrote a prescription, which was full of ordinary and easy-to-obtain medicinal materials.
Xiao Yezi was overjoyed when she heard this, she took the prescription handed over by Shen Zhuo and looked at it again, although she didn't know any of the words on it, but it must be able to cure and save money, she said gratefully: "Thank you for lifting people, master, I'll go and grab the medicine." ”
Shen Zhuo shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't call me a master, it sounds weird and awkward, you just call me Uncle Shen." ”
Aunt Qin looked at Shen Zhuo, and she said: "Shen Juren is really a philanthropic person, if you have any pulp washing and sewing work in the future, just give it to my daughter-in-law or Sanniang, it is a matter of raising your hand." ”
Shen Zhuo smiled slightly, and said, "Then thank Aunt Qin first." ”
He is a man with children, and he doesn't have much money in his hand, so he doesn't have to spend money every day to hire someone to wash and sew up, so it is naturally great that someone can help.
Aunt Qin used to hear that people who read books are all sour and fake vinegar, but this Shen Clumsy is so refreshing, it is very suitable for her temperament, the two said a few words, Zhu Xiaoyue came to call her back for breakfast, and the few people dispersed.
After Xiao Yezi entered the house, her mother leaned on the head of the bed and said, "What are you talking about in the yard, I haven't seen you enter the door for most of the day since I came back." ”
Xiao Yezi took out the prescription that Shen Zhuo had prescribed, and she said, "Uncle Shen wrote a prescription and asked me to go and get the medicine for you." ”
She was afraid that her mother would be reluctant to spend money, so she added: "Uncle Shen said that the medicines in this recipe are extremely cheap, and it doesn't cost much silver." ”
Gu Sanniang looked at Xiao Yezi and said angrily: "It's only been a few days, just Uncle Shen is long and Uncle Shen is short, he is a serious man, and he makes people laugh carefully." ”
Xiao Yezi didn't care, she said, "Uncle Shen told me to shout like this." ”
After speaking, Xiao Yezi told Gu Sanniang about her going to see Mo Xiaohong again.
After breakfast, Xiao Yezi took the silver money from Gu Sanniang to buy medicine, Aunt Qin was just about to go to buy vegetables, she was afraid that Xiao Yezi would be deceived, so she accompanied her to the pharmacy, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy looked at the prescription and said that the prescription was very secure, Aunt Qin and Xiao Yezi were very happy, Xiao Yezi bought a few pairs of medicines according to the prescription, and bought the pills to be returned to Shen Zhuo, and in a blink of an eye, there was not much money left in her hand.
Just because Gu Sanniang was sick, Xiao Yezi went around the bazaar, wanting to buy some food for her mother to replenish her body, but there were dozens of copper coins left in her hand, and everything in the county was expensive, and in the end, it was only enough to buy a dozen eggs.
After the medicine was bought, Xiao Yezi first took the pill to Shen Zhuo, but Shen Zhuo confiscated it, he wrapped it up and asked Xiao Yezi to take it back and keep it himself, Shen Zhuo taught her how to decoct the medicine, there was no casserole at home, Xiao Yezi went to Aunt Qin's house to borrow it, and finally fried the medicine.
Let's say that Gu Sanniang's illness, after three or four days, her body gradually improved, and Mo Xiaohong came to the middle, brought her a basket of vegetables, and brought her a letter, saying that Guan Yongwang told her to rest at home, and then go to work after her illness recovered.
With Guan Yongwang's words, Gu Sanniang really settled down, she has a strong temperament, she has worked in the embroidery village for several years, and she has never asked for leave, this time the man died, plus her body is not good, she has rested for several days, it is easy to say that the monthly money is deducted, and the most afraid is that someone will pick on it.
On this day, Gu Sanniang felt that her body finally had strength, and she was lying on the sick for a few days, and the bones in her body were lazy, so she put on her clothes and carried a needlework basket out of the room.
Xiao Yezi was decocting medicine in the yard, Brother Yu squatted beside her, Xiao Yezi looked up and saw her mother coming out, and said: "Mother, it's windy outside, what are you doing when you come out, go back to the house and rest." ”
Gu Sanniang said: "Where is it so delicate, the room is weird and boring, I will sit down for a while." ”
After that, she sat down and took out a string from the basket, there was no match, Brother Yu looked at the decoction for a while, and then ran to Gu Sanniang to watch her tie, his short fingers pointed to the more than a dozen yarns that had been tied in the basket, and muttered in his mouth: "This is with a fan, this is with a sweat towel, and this is with a skirt corner." ”
Xiao Yezi also came over, although she was a sister, but she didn't know much about Brother Yu'er, and she heard Brother Yu'er say that everything was worth something different, so she asked her mother: "Is Brother Yu right?" ”
Gu Sanniang smiled and nodded, in order to earn her family, she would definitely pick up some yarns and come back to play, a simple yarn for a penny, a complicated one for two cents, if you are willing to suffer a little, you can also earn hundreds of dollars a month, but this job is not something that everyone will do, each kind of yarn has its own color matching and tricks, Brother Yu knows so much, their father and son talk temperament is extraordinary, it shows that the family is also rich.
"You take Brother Yu'er elsewhere to be stubborn, I'm sick, don't let the illness get over him." Gu Sanniang said to Xiao Yezi.
A few days ago, Gu Sanniang was sick, and the family affairs fell on Xiao Yezi, and she was worried that her mother's condition was getting worse, but now that she saw that her mother was better, Xiao Yezi could also loosen a little, she said: "Someone is riding a bamboo horse outside, I'll take Brother Yu'er to take a look." ”
"Go, I'll watch the medicine furnace, and you'll take care of Brother Yu'er." Gu Sanniang advised.
Xiao Yezi answered, took Brother Yu'er's hand and went out of the courtyard.
After the two children left, Gu Sanniang was left in the yard, today Qin Lin rested, the couple took the little brother back to her parents' house, Aunt Qin went out to run the door, the window of the east chamber opposite was half-hidden, there was a figure sitting in it reading a book, Gu Sanniang took a look, lowered her head and concentrated on the connection.
Unconsciously, when Gu Sanniang's strings were about to finish, she heard a voice from the opposite side: "The medicine is fried." ”
The yarn in Gu Sanniang's hand was so bluffed that it fell to the ground, and it was Shen Zhuo who was standing in front of the window who spoke, he smelled it in the east chamber, but Gu Sanniang blindly lowered his head and beat the yarn, afraid that he had long forgotten that there was still medicine on the stove.
Gu Sanniang's ears turned red, and she hurriedly put down the veil in her hand, she walked quickly to the stove, and sure enough, she saw that the casserole had been boiled dry, she was slightly annoyed, so she had to add water and fry it again.
This time, Gu Sanniang didn't dare to be careless anymore, it costs money to buy medicine, and every small medicine leaf is fried before she is willing to throw it away, she moved the stool to the stove to take care of it nearby, and Shen Zhuo, who was originally standing in front of the window, has disappeared.
After another two or three days, Gu Sanniang's illness was finally cured, because of the night of the illness received a lot of help from Qin Auntie and Shen Juren, after the illness was cured, Gu Sanniang took Xiao Yezi to buy two fresh fish in the market, one directly called Xiao Yezi to send to Qin Auntie's house, Qin Auntie knew that Gu Sanniang was most afraid of owing favors, so she accepted it without saying anything, and the other fish Gu Sanniang guessed that Shen Zhuo was afraid that he would not clean up, so he cleaned it up, specially made it on the stove and steamed it, and sent it to Shen Zhuo's East Chamber with Xiao Yezi.
Gu Sanniang and the Qin family are old acquaintances, and they sent Xiao Yezi to thank them, they didn't say anything, but Shen Zhuo was a new acquaintance after all, Gu Sanniang was afraid that he would despise others, so he solemnly came to the door to thank him in person, and when he arrived at the East Chamber, Gu Sanniang shouted outside, and it was not until Shen Zhuo's response was heard inside, that she and Xiao Yezi walked in.
At this time, the father and son of the Shen family were having lunch, there was a bowl of fried cabbage on the table, and a plate of dried radish, and a bowl of porridge in front of Brother Yu'er, looking like he wanted to eat or not.
When the father and son saw Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi coming in, they both stopped the dishes and chopsticks in their hands together, Gu Sanniang glanced at Shen Zhuo, then lowered her eyelids, and said: "This time the little woman is sick, thank you Shen Juren for helping, there is nothing to thank at home, so I bought a fresh fish in the center, and asked Shen Juren not to dislike it." ”
When he spoke, Xiao Yezi had already brought a big dish from the basket, this steamed fish dish was still borrowed from Aunt Qin's family, the fish just out of the pot was steaming fragrantly, Brother Yu'er couldn't take his eyes off it, but he still stood aside, not like ordinary children who immediately made noise to eat, but Shen Zhuo couldn't help but blush when he saw the child's intent, Xiao Yezi only thought he was polite, and said: "Uncle Shen, you just accept it, if you hadn't sent two pills that night, I don't know what to do." ”
Shen Zhuo didn't want to refuse at all, he moved here with his brother, and after paying a year's rent to the Qin family, there was not much money left in his hand.
"I took it." Shen Zhuo stood up and bowed to Gu Sanniang.
Gu Sanniang turned sideways to avoid it, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she was originally worried that the scholar was high, so she would be annoyed by sending a fish to someone so recklessly.
They were still eating, Gu Sanniang and Xiao Yezi were inconvenient to disturb, and after sending the fish, the two of them said goodbye, and after walking not far away, they heard Brother Yu'er's soft and glutinous voice and said: "Daddy, the fish made by Aunt Gu is better than the three fresh fish soup at home before." ”
Shen Zhuo replied gently: "If you like it, eat more." ”
After listening to the conversation between their father and son, Gu Sanniang pursed her lips and smiled, and went back to the house with Xiao Yezi to eat.
