Chapter 171: Inquiry

Mrs. Jin prescribed a prescription for Pei Ji on the spot, and Mrs. Pei carefully put it away after taking the prescription, thanked Mrs. Jin very gratefully, and also sent the prepared gifts.

Mrs. Jin didn't look at what the gift was, and asked Ruifang to smile at Mrs. Pei after accepting it: "Uncle Pei's illness is not suitable to stay outside for a long time, and sitting for a long time is not conducive to recuperation, even if you take the prescription, you can go back." ”

Mrs. Pei also knew Pei Ji's physical condition, although she had the heart to say a few more words to Mrs. Jin, but she was afraid that Pei Ji's body would not be able to support it, so she helped Pei Ji up and said goodbye.

Li Luan'er got up to send the Pei family and his wife out, at this time, the sun had risen high, and the heat was shining, although in the courtyard, but also felt that the body was hot for a while, the little girl of the Pei family took out two parasols to stretch them out to help the Pei family and his wife shade the sun, Li Luan'er saw at a glance that this parasol was bought from the Gu family's shop.

"This umbrella was given by Mrs. Gu, and now the parasol is a rare item in the capital." Li Luan'er smiled and pointed to the two umbrellas.

Mrs. Pei said with a smile: "It was indeed given by my aunt, or the picture drawn by Gu Xin's sister-in-law, and it was specially made by the craftsmen in the shop. ”

"Now the Gu family specializes in the business of this umbrella is to make money every day, I saw Mrs. Gu two days ago, she is full of spring breeze, and if she wants to come, she will definitely do a good job." Li Luan'er laughed as she walked.

Mrs. Pei nodded: "Not only is the business in the umbrella shop good, but the business next to the Gu family is also very good, I went out a few days ago and passed by the Gu family's cloth shop, and saw that his family's business is very prosperous." ”

"We're going to get naked." Li Luan'er smiled more and more as she spoke: "The fat powder shop we want to open is next to the Gu family's umbrella shop, think about it, the people who go to buy umbrellas must be the purchases of large families or the girls around the lady, who bought umbrellas, and said that they want to go to my family's fat powder shop to have a visit, so I don't have to worry that my family's fat powder can't be sold." ”

Pei Ji turned his head and glanced at Li Luan'er at this time: "Just now I also took a look at the fat powder that the eldest lady gave to my lady, the color is white and the balsam is strong, and it can not only protect the face when applied to the face, but also make the face more beautiful and moist, I dare not say that this fat powder is on the side, what the eldest lady's family sells must be high-quality, and there are few in Beijing that can match it." ”

"Uncle Pei also understands fat powder?" This surprised Li Luan'er.

Mrs. Pei covered her mouth and chuckled: "Our uncle is not in good health, he lies in bed on weekdays, either reading some idle books or teasing fat powder, and he will draw a few pictures when he is idle, so that the eldest lady knows that my uncle's most refined is not a fat powder, but the architectural drawing of the house. ”

"Uncle Pei is so Yaxing." Li Luan'er was shocked, and then said happily: "If my family builds a garden in the future, I will also find you to draw drawings, and when the time comes, Uncle Pei will not have to refuse." ”

Pei Ji nodded again and again, only saying that his body and bones allowed, and he would definitely help the Li family draw an excellent garden.

Talking and laughing for a while, when she arrived at the door, Mrs. Pei helped Pei Ji to get into the car first, she turned around and whispered to Li Luan'er: "Big lady, if you can use the Pei family's place in the future, just open your mouth, although our Pei family is now defeated, but in the end, the foundation is still there, and the side dare not say that the money is not short, and the flowers and plants will never lose to any family." ”

Li Luan'er hurriedly nodded: "Madame, I wrote down my thoughts." ”

sent Mrs. Pei into the carriage, and saw that the Pei family's carriage was gone, and Li Luan'er returned.

Before she returned to the house, she saw Ruifang coming over, saying that Mrs. Jin invited her over, Li Luan'er had to enter Mrs. Jin's house with Ruifang, Mrs. Jin saw Li Luan'er, pointed to the herbs packed on the table, and took out a box, opened the box, it was a bottle of medicine pills, she said: "This is the medicinal herbs that I have only recently received, and the pills I specially concocted, you think of a way to ask Daniel Zhang to bring them into the palace for Feng'er." ”

Li Luan'er looked at those medicinal materials are rare, and it must have taken a lot of effort to come to Mrs. Jin to collect these, as well as the pills, pick up the bottle and smell it, and feel comfortable all over the body, thinking about it, this pill is also very good for the body.

She put these things away: "I will go to Daniel Zhang tonight and give these things to his wife." ”

After saying this, Li Luan'er sat down and drank a sip of water and asked Mrs. Jin: "Madam, I have seen you treat diseases before, it's just cold poison, if you want to make a move, you will definitely get rid of the disease, why do you still ask Pei Ji to drink that bitter medicine juice, and it is so difficult to treat?" ”

Mrs. Jin laughed: "Silly girl, if I say that it is easy to cure, first, I can't say that they don't believe it, and second, how can they accept our love." ”

One sentence made Li Luan'er suddenly, and after pondering in her heart, she knew Mrs. Jin's thoughts, Pei Ji's body didn't know how many doctors she had asked for conditioning and treatment over the years, but it didn't work, which made the Pei family couple think that Pei Ji's body was already extremely bad, if Mrs. Jin came up and said that this disease was not difficult to treat, she could cure it, but the Pei family couple despised Mrs. Jin and would not believe her too much.

Even if Mrs. Jin really cures Pei Ji's illness in the future, the Pei family and his wife will think that this is a gesture, and their gratitude will not be heavy.

Mrs. Jin is an old man and has practiced medicine for many years, and she has a good grasp of the patient's mentality, so how could she make such a mistake.

For a while, Li Luan'er was taught, and she made up her mind to observe other people's behavior in the future, and learn more about herself.

Seeing that Li Luan'er was thoughtful, Mrs. Jin smiled and nodded, feeling that her hard work in mentioning Li Luan'er was not in vain.

Outside the Yong'an Gate of the capital, travelers from the south, officials, merchants and ordinary people all pass through here to enter Beijing, and the Yong'an Gate is opened in the morning, and the crowd inside and outside the door is not less.

Two little guys in green cloth clothes stood on the edge of Yong'an Gate and looked around, in the middle of the morning, the weather was really hot, these two little guys were sweating all over, and they didn't dare to stand in the sun, so they went to the tea shed next to them and called two bowls of herbal tea to drink.

While drinking tea, the two of them looked around, but saw that many of the people who went out of the city wore long robes, and they all held parasols, although the umbrellas were not expensive and the workmanship was rough, but because of the poems written on it or the pictures drawn, they were very delicate.

"Little Er, two more bowls of tea." After drinking all the herbal tea for a while, the two little guys called two bowls again, and Xiao Er, who was wearing a brown short, took the herbal tea with a smile, and wiped his sweat with the towel around his neck: "It's really hot today." ”

"yes." One of the little guys smiled: "Otherwise, why are so many people out of the city holding umbrellas." ”

Speaking of this umbrella, Xiao Er also laughed: "It's not what, now when it comes to parasols in this capital, no one knows who doesn't know, not to mention that those nobles are proud of having a Gu family umbrella, that is, the palace officials and the queen mother don't often support and go shopping, the official family rewarded the adults some time ago, but the special umbrella was sent over." ”

"This Gu family is also lucky." The little guy took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I don't know whose way his family is looking for, and he actually climbed up with the palace, and now he has really made a fortune." ”

"It's also a good umbrella." Another small servant said: "The Gu family is a family that has been doing business for several lifetimes, and the mind is shrewd, and when people have not yet offered umbrellas to the palace, they have called shops around the country to buy all kinds of gems and pearls, even the best wood and bamboo materials do not know how much they have accumulated, because his family buys more, and his family is collected from all over the world, so the price is very cheap, to this day, the umbrella of the people is very luxurious, but in fact, the materials have not cost much, others want to learn, one is not famous in reputation, and second, I really couldn't find such cheap materials, so I could only watch the Gu family make money. ”

"It's just a season's worth of business." Xiao Er smiled and wiped his sweat again: "When this summer passes, who will buy this umbrella." ”

The little guy snorted: "Let's wait, the parasol in summer, when it snows in winter, those ladies who love elegance want to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms, and then there will be an umbrella to block the snow, this is not a season's business." ”

Xiao Er smiled: "What the little brother said is true, or the little brother is smart-eyed, why didn't I expect it." ”

At this time, the business of the tea house was a little lighter, and Xiao Er also had time to speak, so he asked, "I don't know where the two little brothers are?" Such a hot day does not rest in the house, but comes out to suffer this sin. ”

The little guy who spoke before raised his head, his face full of arrogance: "We belong to Cui Xianggong's family, no, someone from the Cui family in Fenghuang County entered Beijing, and my wife asked the two of us to pick us up." ”

Xiao Er squinted his eyes: "The family has entered Beijing, how can you two ......?"

The little guy snorted coldly: "What kind of family is flesh and blood, speaking of which, it is just a useless side branch, rushing to tie up my old lady, otherwise, do you think our old man is willing to answer him?" Zuo is just a lifter, and he didn't get into the jinshi in two exams, so what future can he have. ”

"It turned out to be a man." Xiao Er pulled a small stool and sat down: "What you said is the same, this man is also a very good character when he puts it in the place, but he has to put it in the capital......"

Another little guy smiled and said: "A sentence that our old people in the capital often say is very appropriate, a brick fell in this capital and smashed nine out of ten people are meritorious officials, and the remaining one can't say that he is still a prince." ”

As they spoke, the three of them laughed.

The three of them laughed in a big way, but they didn't want a beggar in patched clothes in the shade of a tree not far away to listen carefully to what they said, and when they saw that the three of them didn't say anything, the beggar took a bowl and approached the previous little guy and smiled: "Master, it's okay to stutter." ”

Although the little guy was arrogant, but his heart was not very bad, and when he saw that the beggar was young but clever, and looked thin and weak, he felt a little pity, picked up the same crude snack on the table with tea and poured it into the beggar's bowl, and counted a few copper plates to him: "Take it, eat it at the same time." ”

"Thank you, thank you." The beggar nodded and thanked him, with a smile on his face: "Two masters, your family master is the Phoenix Cui family?" ”

"Yo." The little guy was startled, and then laughed again: "Do you still know the Phoenix Cui family?" ”

The beggar smiled: "The little one has been begging in the capital for many years, and he knows a lot of things, and the little one knows that the phoenix is not only the Cui family, but also the Yan family, in addition, I also know that there is a Baihua Pei family in this capital, and the Zhang family, that is, when the flower viewing banquet in the palace will be held, it is also clear when the small one will be held." ”

This sentence amused the three people, and the little guy nodded: "It's the Phoenix Cui family." ”

The beggar said again: "I heard the two masters just now say that the Cui family's side branches entered Beijing, but the little ones were bored, this Cui family side branches are in Fenghuang County, how can they be willing to enter Beijing, and when they enter Beijing, they don't have the scenery in Phoenix County." ”

The things that the beggar asked were not difficult to tell, and the little guy was addicted to what he was talking about, so he told him: "It's not that the master of the Cui family's side branches, he didn't pass the exam twice, and he was annoyed to stay at home, so he wanted to find some opportunities in Beijing, and our master thought that he was always a family, so he found a teaching job with him and told him to do it first, and then he would take the exam again when it came to the spring, if he got the best, if he didn't pass the exam this time, he had to find an errand in the yamen." ”

Speaking of this, the little servant lowered his voice: "Our master is looking for the Lu family, and the young son of the Lu family is about to be enlightened, so he asked him to be a gentleman." ”R1152
