5. Swap

Cao's words were a bit heavy, and Poria couldn't help but panic in her heart. When the Cao family first got married, it was just that, and now that even a son has been born, the Jiang family will naturally be inherited by her son in the future, so that although it is a stepfamily, it is also a serious housewife.

Poria also thought about it in private, it's hard to say what kind of family Taohua will marry in the future, if she is not as good as the Jiang family, her family has to find a way to stay, and when the time comes, will she not be begging for a life under the Cao family? After pondering like this, he couldn't help but speak: "Mrs. has orders, how dare the slave and maid not obey?" Mrs. please sit down and drink tea, and the slave maid takes Sister Baiguo to Curry. "

Cao's expression was slightly gloomy, and he said lightly: "You don't have to drink tea." Bai Guo was afraid that he didn't know which set of porcelain it was, so I went in to take a look, and Qingguo also came to help. "

Poria hesitated, but still didn't stop. But the bellflower who came up to deliver the tea listened, quietly pulled Poria's skirt, and whispered: "Sister, hasn't the girl's library always forbidden people to enter?" It's better for my sister to take it out and let Sister Baiguo follow the description. "

Cao vaguely heard Kikyo's words, and his heart was even more annoyed. It's just a little girl who sprinkles the sweep, and she actually comes to point fingers? He simply let go of his voice and said to Poria Cocos: "It's not too fast! It's also a grind to open a library. It's just that Taohua is here, I want to go in and take a look, open my eyes, and I won't be stopped at the door, right? "

Poria couldn't care about the bellflower, so she hurriedly answered, took the key and went to open the door of the warehouse, and took the Cao family inside. Kikyo stomped his foot, but there was nothing he could do. She didn't even have the qualifications to enter the storeroom, so she had to stand under the porch and watch. After a long while, the Cao family brought people out, Poria sent people away, and when he turned around, he saw that the bellflower was still under the corridor, and said busily: "Why are you still standing here?" Go to sleep, I'll get up late tomorrow, see if I don't peel your skin. "

Kikyo couldn't help but say, "Sister, this library-"

Before she could say a word, Poria had already narrowed her eyes: "This is also what you can manage?" Little girl, just do your part! Tonight, if you go to the girl to chew your tongue, carefully send you to the Zhuangzi outside! "She is actually a little weak-minded, but the Cao family really only asked Bai Guo to draw the tricks, and never wanted to borrow anything from the library. Therefore, it was very intimidating to the bellflower, and then he fell asleep.

In the guest house, Mrs. Cao Wu waited anxiously, until Song's mother quietly came to deliver a letter, saying that the Cao family had brought someone into Taohua's private warehouse, and then she was relieved. Since Cao Wuye donated the prisoners, and went out of the way to get the real shortage of this county, the family is not less proud. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and in a blink of an eye, Cao Xiancheng became a grass without roots in Shaoxing, and he was an official of Zuo Er, and he was so crowded that he couldn't survive, and he really couldn't think of a way.

This time I went to Dinghaihou Mansion in Beijing to take the door, in fact, Mrs. Cao Wu was not very sure. Cao Luo was born well, but is there still a beautiful and sweet-mouthed little girl in Beijing who flatters Mrs. Cao? If it doesn't work, not only will it run empty, but it will also cost a lot of money. Cao Wuye has been in Shaoxing for a short time, and he has not yet had time to get much oil and water, so he can't afford to pay for it. Mrs. Cao Wu thought about it, but it was because her daughter mentioned the narcissus jade carving in a sentence that she hit her sister-in-law's head with the idea. The jade carving is a good thing, but even better is that you don't have to spend your own money. If it happens, the husband will have a good place to go in the future, and he will support his sister-in-law; If it doesn't work, the horizontal and vertical will not compensate the Cao family's money.

Mrs. Cao Wu was pondering, Cao had already come, followed by Qingguo, covering her clothes with one hand, looking worried. Mrs. Cao Wu hurriedly asked, "How?" "

Qingguo took out an object from her arms and carefully put it on the table, and then sighed: "The slave is afraid that it will fall out and break it...... "This good thing can't afford to lose even if she sells her family."

Under the lamp, a palm-sized jade carving glowed with a soft treasure light. Mrs. Cao Wu was overjoyed, so she hurriedly took it with her own hands, wrapped it in a brocade wrapper, put it in the box to lock it carefully, and pulled Cao's thousand thanks and said: "If your brother can have a future, it is all thanks to my sister." "

Cao's heart was still pounding at this time, and he muttered, "If it is discovered......

Mrs. Cao Wu smiled: "Isn't my sister confused? Who saw Qingguo take this thing? If you catch a thief or catch a stolen product, if you don't hold your hands, will she dare to say that you can't take it without evidence or evidence? This is disobedience! He comforted Cao Shi again, "It's just that your brother really has a future, and your waist in the Jiang family is also hard." It's not for me to say that my brother-in-law only has a show of fame, so I don't want to go any further. Although there are relatives in the capital, they are always separated from each other. Who are we going to marry Yanhua in the future? Is it impossible for Bai Ge'er to marry the daughter of a broken family? If your brother has a future, the children say that it is better to kiss, right? "

Cao Shi listened to the reason, and the anxiety gradually subsided. Seeing that she had appeased people, Mrs. Cao Wu told a few more words not to show her own weakness, and finally said: "Since it is done, I will go back early tomorrow morning, and I will rush to the capital." "Who knows when Jiang Taohua's girl will come back, or if she left the Jiang family early, she will rest assured. Although the girl looks kind with a smile all day long, she can be a housekeeper at the age of ten, so it can be seen that she is not a soft one, and she is really making trouble, but she is afraid that her face will be ugly.

Cao was a little reluctant, but Mrs. Cao Wu had no choice but to nod and agree. Since I went to make a return gift, because I stole Taohua's things, I couldn't help but feel a little empty, and I didn't dare to prepare it in the thick, so I only spent three taels of silver to prepare some local products, and took a ruler that was supposed to make clothes for Yanhua, and asked Mrs. Cao Wu to take it back to make new clothes for Cao Luo, so that she could go to Beijing to celebrate her birthday.

Mrs. Cao Wu said a basket of good things again. Early the next morning, he hired a carriage and went out with his things. Cao stood at the door and watched the carriage leave, and then came back, still worried about his brother's future, and did not notice that across the street, a strange carriage was parked there, and it had been parked for a cup of tea.

It wasn't until the Jiang family closed the gate that the carriage moved a little closer to this side, and one hand lifted the curtain to look out, and then a crisp voice said, "Childe, that's the Jiang family." "

The carriage slowly moved forward, the curtain was lifted, revealing a beautiful face of sixteen or seventeen years old, staring at the gate of the Jiang family twice, turning his head to the car and saying: "Son, look at the Jiang family's house is not too big, and the one who just went in is estimated to be the mother of the Jiang family." I heard that the surname is Cao, and the mother's family has a brother and sister-in-law who are officials in Shaoxing, and the one who took the car, the slave guessed that it might be Cao's sister-in-law. "

This girl spoke crisply, and came out like beads, and she didn't breathe. The young coachman who was driving on the wheel laughed and said, "Miss Butterfly, I didn't see that it was Mrs. Jiang's sister-in-law, so I didn't want to be a guest from another family?" "

Dieyi snorted: "It can be seen that you men are careless." Which guest came to say goodbye to someone's house early in the morning? Obviously, he stayed at Jiang's house last night, who is it not a relative? The Jiang family's house is in Beijing, and only Shaoxing is close to here, so I said that it should be the sister-in-law of the Cao family. "

The young coachman shrank his head and smiled, "That sounds reasonable." It's just that Childe is also a man. "

Dieyi realized that she had lost her words, but fortunately she was a personal maid, and she had always had a good face in front of her master, so she glared at the young coachman fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "Die on the first day, see if I don't tear your mouth." Then he turned his head and bowed to the people in the car and said, "Childe, the slave maid lost her words just now......

The person in the carriage was not yet under the age of the weak crown, but he was born with a slender figure, wearing a light cyan brocade robe, and was looking at the gate of the Jiang family from the car window, and only after listening to Dieyi's words did he smile faintly: "That's it." It is the first day of junior high school, which is intended to provoke and have ill intentions. "

Outside the carriage, the first junior high man wailed: "Childe, there is no small one......

Dieyi smiled and leaned back, and the young man in the carriage also smiled, and lowered the curtain casually: "Okay." Since I know that the Jiang family is here, I always watch it sometimes. Fifteen is still waiting in the inn to buy medicine and go back, so let's go to inquire about a pharmacy first. "

Chu Yi shook the reins, drove the carriage out of the alley, and casually pulled a roadside vendor to ask. The peddler was very enthusiastic and said: "We have a lot of pharmacies here, and they also have their own strengths, I don't know what kind of disease the little brother is going to ask for?" "

Chu Yi scratched his head and said: "It turned out that there was a brother who fell from his horse and twisted his leg, and now it is not very convenient to walk." "

The peddler pointed his hand forward: "If you say that this bruise is damaged, it is best to say that it is the bone-setting wine of the Jiang family's medicine hall." Two streets further from here, you can see the signboard, and many of us here have a small bottle, if there is a fall or sprain, or if the weather is cold and rheumatic and paralyzed, take it and rub it hot, and it will be fine in a day or two. Even in Nanjing City, there are many people who use this medicine at home. "

When Chu Yi heard the word Jiang Jia, he suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly thanked the kind-hearted vendor, and asked cautiously while driving the carriage: "Childe, this-"

After a while, a voice floated from the carriage: "Since the medicine is good, it doesn't hurt to buy it." "

Dieyi muttered: "Don't lie to us, it's just a bone-beating wine, how can you see that it is a good ...... of the Jiang family" As she spoke, she spied on the master's expression.

The young man didn't care: "The Jiang family has been practicing medicine for generations, and they must have experience in medicine." In that case, let's just check it out. "

The façade of the Jiang family's medicine hall is not very large, but it is very neat, and there is no sitting in the hall, just selling medicine. Slightly different from others, it is a separate counter to sell all kinds of medicines.

As soon as the young man entered, a guy stepped forward with a smile on his face: "What do you want?" "

In the medicine hall, it is naturally full of medicinal flavors. Dieyi couldn't help but cover her nose and frowned, "I heard that your medicine hall's bone-setting wine is good?" "

The man had a good eye to invite them to sit down at a small table by the window, and said with a smile: "The bone-setting wine in the small shop is indeed a little famous in the local area, and it is generally bruised and sprained, so rub it hot with this wine, three times a day, only for two or three days." "

Dieyi snorted lightly, leaning against the window, the smell of medicine was much lighter, but she still took a handkerchief and gently brushed it in front of her nose, and said: "The breath is strange, if it is not easy to use, can you still return the silver?" "

The guy smiled good-naturedly and said, "If the bones are broken and the tendons are broken, then there is nothing that can be done about the bone-beating and drinking; If it is only a sprain and fall, it will be effective if it is used according to the instructions of the shop. "

Dieyi was a little speechless about this, and shook her handkerchief stupidly: "Then take a bottle and take a look." "

The man did not change his face because of her evil voice, and still went to bring a bottle of medicinal wine with a smile on his face. The medicine was in a fist-sized porcelain bottle, and there was a small rattan pocket on the outside. The young man took it in his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's exquisite." "

The guy was busy saying: "The medicinal wine in the small shop, many people like to bring a bottle when they go out. This is packed with a rattan bag, so it is not easy to break, and it is easy to carry on the body. As he spoke, he pulled the cork from the bottle slightly, and suddenly the rich medicinal fragrance spread, "The bone-setting wine in the small shop, five dollars a bottle, are all carefully concocted with good medicinal materials, and they have a small reputation over the years, and you will know it if you use it." "

Dieyi pursed her lips and took a step back because of the medicinal gas, but Chu Yi stretched out her head to smell it, and nodded secretly to the young man. The young man smiled, motioned for Dieyi to take the silver, and asked the man idly, "I wonder if your store has any medicine for external injuries?" Knife sores and arrow sores, hemostasis and muscle, can there be? "

The guy hurriedly said: "There are some." There is a good gold sore powder, which is also a family heirloom, but it is more expensive, three dollars a bottle. "

The young man looked at his finger and saw that the bottle containing the golden sores was also the size of a fist, and his brows couldn't help frowning: "How many wounds can this heal?" "

The guy smiled: "Childe looks like an experienced person." This golden sore powder uses precious medicinal materials such as blood exhaustion, so the price is high. After all, it is a bloody wound, and if the medicine is not good, I am afraid that it will hinder my life. "

The young man frowned slightly and nodded. The guy hurriedly turned around to get it, but when he entered the counter, he was stopped by another young man, and whispered: "If you want it cheap, there are still a few packs of hemostatic powder that our girl made last time." "

This kind of thing is not very good in the local market. The rich and noble families are pampered, and they don't even have a thorn in their hands, so how can they be injured by any knives and guns. Poor people don't buy medicine, so they just grab the incense ash or even the grass ash in the stove and cover it. The hemostatic powder he said was specially made by the eldest girl for the poor family, but she didn't sell a few packs.

This kind of thing, the ointment is not as good as the pill with a wax seal, only a few months before the medicinal properties will be scattered, if the market is not good, it will be moldy in vain. Taohua only makes a few bottles each time and puts them in the medicine hall. Last time, this young man accidentally cut his hand, and he didn't dare to use the expensive medicine in the medicine hall, so he took a little hemostasis and sprinkled it on the wound, and the blood stopped flowing immediately, no worse than the golden sore. It's just that the prescription seems to have been figured out by the eldest girl herself, not the ancestral prescription of the Jiang family, and even if some rich and noble families want to buy trauma medicine, most of them are scattered for the gold sores.

For a while, the young man remembered it, and when he heard that someone thought that the gold sores were expensive, he mentioned it in passing.

The guy who sold the medicine patted his head, and hurriedly took another bag of hemostatic scattering: "Childe, this hemostatic powder only costs a bag of silver and silver, and if you talk about stopping bleeding and removing pus, the effect is also good." "

Dieyi's eyes were sharp, and when she saw that there was a thin layer of ash on the edge of the oil paper package, she immediately sneered: "How long has this medicine been placed, and you dare to take it out for people?" "

The young man blushed and said, "This medicinal oil paper is sealed, and it can be left for six months, and the medicinal properties have not dissipated." If you think it's good for Childe to try it, we can give Childe a new one. "

Dieyi's eyes narrowed: "What is a good use!" Our son doesn't need this thing! Do you dare to curse our son? "

The guy who sold the medicine secretly sighed that the guest had a big temper, and was busy stepping forward to accompany Xiao and was about to speak, when he saw the young man waving his hand, and the beautiful maid with raised eyebrows pulled his face and gave the silver, secretly relieved, politely sent the guest out of the door, and turned back to complain to the young man: "You, you really can't speak, fortunately, that boy has a good temper and doesn't care about you." "

The young man muttered in a low voice: "Obviously, that girl has a big temper, saying that she is coming to buy medicine, and she has been criticizing it endlessly, and it is not so difficult to talk to her son-in-law......"

The guy who taught him sighed: "The maids of rich and noble families have big tempers, you can't do this in the future, carefully offend people and bring trouble to yourself." "

The young man nodded, still a little unwilling in his heart: "The medicine made by our eldest girl is really good, last time Zhang Butcher killed a pig and lost his hand, and was cut in the leg by a pig's tooth, and this medicine was used." Last time I went to buy meat, he said that this medicine is cheap and good......"

The guy who sold the medicine sighed, knowing that he was honest and had no heart, and patted him on the shoulder: "I also know that the medicine made by the big girl is good, but haven't you heard that the king of Hades is so difficult to deal with little ghosts-?" The maids of these rich and noble families are all second misses, and they can't be provoked. Go ahead and get to work. "
