Chapter Twenty-Four: Meet Again (Plus!) )
"Childe, isn't that old man the one who came to thank you last time? Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Qingliu outside the carriage was surprised.
Yang Wenqing took a look at it, isn't it!
The last time I met this old man was when I came to Nanyang on the first day, when he and two of the other old men came to the yamen to thank her, and said for a long time, Yang Wenqing couldn't help but look him up and down again, she was almost sure that the old man came to wear the shirt last time he was the most decent.
The hairpins were distributed in the refugee slum.
The people in the slums are living in difficulty because they are refugees who have fled.
There are people who can't live in their own country and have escaped, and there are also people who have flowed from all over the Great Jin Dynasty, and these people do not have a household registration in the Great Jin Dynasty, and the reason is that they are poor -- there are ordinary people among the people who come from other countries, and there are also murder fugitives, and all kinds of fugitive slaves, although the Great Jin Dynasty has accepted them, but if these people want to live, they must pay double the labor and self-reliance, but even so, it is extremely difficult for these people to get a household registration, and so far there has been no regulation that says that they can be given a clear identity. Some people can only die unexplained throughout their lives, and when they die, they are only concerned about a household registration.
Many of the refugees who fled from various parts of the Great Jin Dynasty lost their household registration and could not find proof of their identity before they became refugees. Of course, the way to prove their identity is very simple, that is, to return to their hometown, but the long way is long, if they are rich, then they have to flee to become refugees? Definitely not.
Yang Wenqing didn't expect that it would be more than ten days later to see this old man again, and this old man looked a little older than that day, and it was really a hardship in life! It's a waste of life.
"Well, it looks like that." Yang Wenqing said lightly, his tone was so light that he couldn't hear joy, anger and sorrow, but Qingliu outside the car couldn't help but tremble, he touched his trembling body to look at the sky, and muttered, "How do you feel that the weather has suddenly become cold... ”
"Qingliu, you go and see if the old man has grasped the medicine, see what kind of medicine it is, and by the way, settle the medicine money, if it is good, ask him to come up with him, and we will send him." Yang Wenqing thought about it before commanding.
"Okay, Childe, wait a minute." Qingliu replied with a smile, and his body was as light as a swallow and got out of the carriage and ran towards the pharmacy.
Qingliu came to the door of the pharmacy, and another servant came up to greet him and asked him if he was going to see a doctor or buy medicine, Qingliu's eyes flashed, and he pulled him to the porch on the side, and said to the little guy with his ear, "Do you know what kind of medicine the old man in front of the counter bought?" ”
The little guy looked surprised, he quickly turned around and glanced at the old man, and then said apologetically, "Sorry officer, our pharmacy has a rule, this can't be said, may I ask you?" “
Qingliu wrinkled his brows and glared at him, secretly scolding him in his heart, but he thought that his son-in-law was still waiting, and said softly, "That's it, I won't ask you what kind of medicine you are, you can help ask him how much the medicine is, and I will pay for it to the old man." ”
"This," the little guy was a little speechless and stopped, his eyes glared at the boss in surprise, and he paused before saying, "Why don't you sit here and wait here, and I'll ask the shopkeeper." After speaking, he didn't wait for the clear stream, and walked away quickly.
Soon, the little guy came out with a tall and thin middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man came out to take a look at Qingliu dressed in a lily robe, and then at the unpretentious carriage in Tsing Yi, before he stepped forward and asked, "I am Shen San, the shopkeeper of this pharmacy, may I ask the little boy if he wants to pay the bill to Uncle Zhong?" ”
Qingliu nodded, with an expression of "Don't procrastinate, I'm in a hurry", the shopkeeper of the pharmacy smiled, and then said, "Little boy doesn't know, this Uncle Zhong's old wife has been cold for a long time and has not been good, this visit and medicine has been for a while, Uncle Zhong's place is not very good, the medicine money has always been on credit, but now you have to pay, I will be the master to go to zero, just give ten taels of silver." ”
"Ten taels?" Qingliu asked rhetorically, he touched the empty arms, and said, "You wait." Then he walked briskly to the carriage, and the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then his smile returned to his face.
"Childe, did you bring any money?" Qingliu lifted the curtain with a shy face, looking embarrassed, "I was in a hurry to go out, I didn't bring a purse, and the medicine cost was ten taels, I heard that the wind chill was not very good, and I have been eating for a while." ”
Yang Wenqing has been watching him communicate with people in the store at the door, and now he is in a hurry, and he only asks for ten taels of silver, she smiled and touched her cuffs and waist, and spread her hands, "I didn't bring it." She changed her clothes just now, not to mention the money, but she didn't bring half of the jade pendant she was carrying.
Qingliu was stunned, he was a little suspicious that Childe wanted to embezzle the money that the old lady gave him, and gritted his teeth and said, "Childe, shouldn't the silver ticket that the master got last time be divided?" ”
Yang Wenqing smiled and didn't answer, and said, "Why don't you go and tell the shopkeeper to keep the account first, and then you can send the silver after you go back." She rubbed her hands as she spoke, "It seems to be a little cold." “
Qingliu was really sure that her son-in-law wanted to share a piece of the personal pocket money that the old lady gave him, but when he heard his son-in-law say cold, his attention was instantly separated again, and he said, "Then I'll go and keep the account and bring the old man up... He left in a hurry, the curtain was lowered, Yang Wenqing shook his head helplessly, but there was a treacherous look in his eyes.
The shopkeeper waited for a while and didn't get impatient, and when he saw Qingliu frowning, he looked like he was in trouble, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said very intimately, "Little boy, if it's inconvenient, it's better to... He looked at the carriage so simple, it really didn't look like a rich family, except for a black horse that seemed to be more valuable, the others were ordinary, some ordinary people didn't know if they could save ten taels a year, and the carriage was only a few taels of silver.
Qingliu interrupted his words, and repeated his son-in-law's words with his ear, of course, he didn't forget to report Yang Wenqing's name, and the shopkeeper was also surprised when he heard it, he knew the name of Tanhualang, not only the heart of a child, but also the wind god like jade, he didn't expect that this carriage was actually sitting on the county magistrate Yang Wenqing, and he was so surprised that he nodded again and again.
At this moment, the old man came out with several large bags of medicine, he looked up at the drizzling sky, and then looked at the medicine bag in his hand, and after thinking about it, he covered the medicine bag on his chest and was about to rush out, Qingliu saw it, left the pharmacy shopkeeper and pulled him up and said, "Old man, I'll give you a ride." “
"You are?" Uncle Zhong's face was full of confusion, how many white eyes he had over the years, and sometimes he couldn't look at the clothes he was wearing, and now someone suddenly came out and said that he would give him a ride, he had mixed feelings in his heart, over the years, in addition to the people here in the security hall, they were still looking at him, and the rest was the newly appointed Tanhualang County Commander's parent official, but he was not a parent official, he was kind-hearted and loved the people like a son.
"Why don't you recognize me? Last time, you went back to the yamen with me and the master! Qingliu bit his lip and said, he was a little unhappy!
Uncle Zhong was stunned for a moment before he suddenly realized, a smile appeared on his vicissitudes of life, and the folds on his face were full of kindness and excitement, "It turned out to be you. . . It turned out to be you. “
"Yes, that's me. My son-in-law came to see you with typhoid fever and waited in the carriage, so get in the carriage, uncle. Qingliu said, pulling Uncle Zhong three or two steps into the carriage, so fast that everyone didn't react, and when the pharmacy shopkeeper reacted, the carriage had already turned the corner and left.
