Two days passed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qu Yiying knew that the medicine Xia Ping'an prescribed to the woman would not be very effective if there was no other bag, because the medicine was in need, and the same kind of medicine could not be used separately. Xia Ping'an agreed to Xiao Su, putting aside the doctor's point of view, just from the fact that the two of them are brothers, he shouldn't care about his mother's business, so he really doesn't care.

Qu Yiying looked at the bag of packaged herbs on the cabinet and said to Xia Ping'an, "You are so good with Xiao Su, you must know where his mother lives." Why don't you tell me and I'll send it? ”

Ping An was sitting next to the desk, medicine in his hand, and he looked up at her, his eyes flickering with hesitation.

Qu Yiying persuaded again, "The child is innocent. ”

He pondered for a while, and finally stopped what he was doing, but still said hesitantly, "If Xiao Su knows about it, ......" Speaking of this, he sighed to himself, "That's it, that's it, I have a ghost in my heart, even if there is only one person in the world who can keep my secrets the most knows my secret, I will still be confused." ”

Xia Ping'an told her that Xiao Su's mother lived in Qingyun Lane west of Yuliu City. Because a few brothels were built in Qingyun Lane a few years ago, there were many dignitaries and nobles who loved to patronize there, but there were also many scoundrels and ruffians who often messed around, so when Qu Yiying went, he had to be careful not to show his face, and when he left, he also took some silver taels for her to take with him.

The pharmacy is very close to the South City Gate, and on the way to Qingyun Lane, you have to pass through the Winter River, and you have to pass through the Medicine King's Mansion next to the Winter River.

The breeze is blowing, the thin willow leaves on both sides of the street are gently swaying, Qu Yiying is wearing a veil, and when he walks in front of the vermilion gate of the Yaowang Mansion, he finds that the Yaowangfu is wide open today, and there are some servants and guards standing next to the mighty stone lions of the two town houses. Seeing this scene, she was immediately puzzled, thinking that even though Dr. Wu had left, how could the Medicine King's Mansion still open?

Then it suddenly occurred to her that Dr. Wu had ten days a month, eight days in the Medicine King's Mansion and the other two days in the pharmacy, so she paused for a moment and continued to walk.

She walked into Qingyun Lane, Qu Yiying really saw a few small buildings with completely different decoration from other shops, although other buildings are also two stories high, there are bamboo and wood balconies up and down, but the balcony on the second floor is a simple narrow passage, mostly used to enjoy the scenery or dry clothes. The balcony on the second floor of these pavilions is very large, and the fence is full of green and fresh plants, and when you look at it, it is obviously a quiet and quiet scenery, but the four sides of the pavilion are still covered by wide screens, and there are pink light gauze and beaded curtains swaying left and right with the wind.

If you look at it from the bottom up, you can't see what is inside, which makes people curious, but the most curious thing is the sound of the flute and the laughter of men and women mixed with it, the melodious music is originally beautiful and cheerful, but it is the mysterious beauty of the environment and the soft scolding of the woman upstairs, and the man's ill-intentioned smile, which gives birth to a bit of decadence and luxury.

When Qu Yiying saw this, goosebumps rose all over her body, and she hurriedly quickened her pace and rushed forward.

A quarter of an hour later, she came to an ordinary house, although the scenery of Yuliu City was soft and elegant, but there was a strict hierarchy between people, and only a winter river from west to east clearly divided the dignity and inferiority of the north and the south.

This is especially true for ordinary people, if they live in the south of the Donghe River and were born in the Han tribe, but there is hope to be recommended to be an official, there will be a "A" engraved on the plaque of their gate, and then the number of the door number will be written. Because the government department collects taxes based on rank, few people dare to give up their interests for the sake of fame and quietly modify the word on their plaques.

I heard that the person who remarried Xiao Suniang, once left some fields and a house on his ancestors, lived by collecting rent, and was passable, with a C character engraved in front of the door, but then there was a drought in Yuliu City, which had always had plenty of rain, and the fields were barren, and the peasants fled to Beichu or Beichu, no one paid rent, and he was often used to being lavish, and he would not earn money to support his family, and the family would never return to the scenery of the past.

She looked at the door of the house on the left, which said "Ding" number 180, but the house on the right also engraved number 180, Qu Yiying walked back and forth left and right in confusion, wondering which was Xiao Suniang's home.

Could it be that she is mistaken?

No, Ping An clearly said that it was "Ding" number 180, he knew that she didn't know traditional Chinese characters, and he was very careful to write those numbers in front of her.

At this moment, there was a hoarse cry of a child from the hidden door of the Ding family, Qu Yiying's heart moved, approached, stretched out his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but suddenly heard the sound of porcelain cracking, and a woman inside wailed bitterly, "You dead man!" Why don't you die? Lying at home all day long and not wanting to manage life, the children are crying like this, you only know how to eat, drink, drink and drink! Why don't you drink to death! Drink to death, I can't see and my heart is not upset! ”

Qu Yiying quietly approached the crack in the door to observe what was going on inside, and just saw a fat man with his back to him, sitting on the steps, his hair was scattered, his back was rickety, and he looked very sluggish.

In front of the man stood Xiao Su's mother, holding the crying baby in her left hand, staring at him fiercely, her weather-beaten face was full of tears, and she counted hysterically, "I shouldn't have married you, look at your current ghostly appearance, eating and drinking, fat like a pig!" Any beggar on the street is better than you, you ...... I'm still drinking! ”

The woman scolded him like that, and the middle-aged man turned a deaf ear, his body shook, and he still picked up the wine bottle in his hand and drank it.

She glared at him, stepped forward quickly, snatched the bottle from his hand, and slammed it to the ground, "I...... I was so blind! Just marry you pig and dog as bad as that! You ......"

When Qu Yiying saw this, he didn't want to stay any longer. She turned around, feeling a little depressed.

In the past, her parents often quarreled, and she still has palpitations to this day. However, they didn't get along for a long time before they got married, and after they got married, her mother felt that her father's problems gradually became prominent, and they kept disliking them, so the two quarreled every day.

The woman in the room was still cursing angrily.

Qu Yiying put the bag of medicine and silver in his hand at the door, knocked on the door hard, and without waiting for the people inside to agree, he immediately ran away quickly.
