Chapter 127: Listening
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, and this Noble had been inquiring about the news of the barracks doctor who treated Li Pei.
The fat aunt's family lives next door to Yuan Tong, the doctor in the barracks. Fat aunt is a wealthy man, she follows her mother's surname, her name is Pu Lier. I heard that before giving birth to her, her mother was very fond of eating frozen pears, so she gave her such a name.
She's a local and she's a little girl. But the figure followed her father, she grew tall and strong since she was a child, and when she grew up, she looked like a boy with five big and three thick. Therefore, since she was a child, people in the neighborhood have called her Fat Aunt.
Her mother was sick in bed and often needed to be served, while her father went to the barracks. When she came out to pour the dregs, she saw a boy who looked into the yard next door to her house.
"Hey, who are you, what are you doing at this probe on the wall of Dr. Yuan's courtyard?"
This person was Noble, and he said in disguise, "Hehe, no." I just looked at the medicinal herbs on the floor in this courtyard, and I couldn't help but be curious to lie on this wall and take a look. β
Noble heard that Dr. Yuan lived here alone, so he came here and wanted to inquire about Dr. Yuan in the surrounding area. I didn't want to lie down in Dr. Yuan's house and look inside, but I happened to meet a neighbor coming out.
He carried a blanket with embroidery threads, beads, silk handkerchiefs, sugar melons, hemp candy and other knick-knacks. He walked around the tunzi like this, not only to promote Han Jin's stall, let people go over to buy snacks, but also not to make people suspicious when he inquired about things. He inquired as he walked, and came to the courtyard of Yuan Tong. Yuan Tong is the barracks doctor who treated Li Pei.
Hearing Lai Bao say this, the fat aunt originally thought she was suspicious, but after a while, the fat aunt tilted her head and remembered something, she looked at Bao Cai carefully and said: "You are the person who is with the Han merchant, I always see you selling things in the tunzi!" I'll take a look at what goods you have brought, and I'll exchange some things with you on the August Festival the day after tomorrow. β
Hearing the movement outside, Fat Aunt's mother, Park Shi, slowly moved to the door with a chair on her back, leaned against the door and asked, "Fat Aunt, who are you talking to outside?" β
"A-Niang, it's a Korean merchant. Turned to this place to peddle stuff. It's not like I can't leave, just buy something from him! β
The characteristics of these five big and three thick girls are obvious, which is impressive, Noble couldn't help but look at it twice, and he said in his heart: This girl named Fat Aunt lives next door to Dr. Yuan, and wants to be familiar with Dr. Yuan, so she just talks to her. β
Thinking so, he said affectionately to the fat aunt: "I am our young master's little servant, we are not merchants, and we will do other business when we save the capital in the future." β
The fat aunt didn't dare to be interested in embroidery silk handkerchiefs and other things, but pointed to the sugar melon in the oil paper bag and said: "How did you change this sugar melon, I just bought some at home to worship the moon the day after tomorrow." After speaking, she also said strangely: Han Lang is obviously a merchant, but he still has a small guy by his side. Hehe, interesting! β
"Our young master is not a merchant, don't call us young master merchant, you can call him Brother Han." always felt that the title of the merchant was not worthy of his young master's identity, and Noble couldn't help but correct.
The fat girl said with a tendon: "Not a merchant, doing a merchant's business?" No matter what you do in the future, you are indeed a merchant now, what can't you call it! Don't all the people in the tunzi call it that, why don't you let me call it when you come here? You're looking down on my family like everyone else, aren't you? β
The fat aunt's origin is unknown, and he looks rough, very much like Beiliangren. He was still injured when he was picked up by Park's father on the mountain, so the villagers who saw him at that time said that the fat aunt was a slave of Beiliang, and he fled to Datai because he couldn't survive in Beiliang. If Fat Aunt Daddy was a slave of the tribes near the Stone Forest, those tribes would inevitably find it, but no one would find it, so the villagers guessed that Fat Aunt was from Beiliang.
Because of the speculation about the fat aunt's father, the village neighbors all think that the fat aunt is a mixed race of Beiliang and Datai, so they look down on her, she has often been ostracized since she was a child, and is said to be a mongrel, and few people in the village deal with her, and they have always looked down on her. That's why she asked sensitively at this time.
Her words made Noble stunned, and Noble still wanted to distinguish with her, but he also knew that he was not wrong, he was there to be close, and he had nothing to say.
However, the fat aunt said that her family was looked down upon, which made Noble puzzled: "I don't know why your family is looked down upon, how can you look down on your family?" But when you say that, I really want to know why your family is looked down upon. β
Park was still leaning against the door at this time, why was she looked down on, she could find out as soon as she inquired in the tunzi, she didn't want her daughter to say it, it would only add to her sadness. So she pushed open the door and said to Noble: "Little brother, you come, I'll talk to you about a deal, I wonder if you are willing to do it with my family?" I heard that you said that when you first came to us, your family was still a rogue official, so you must have some knowledge, and my family's business is just right for you. β
"Huh." Lai Bao smiled, he didn't think about it, this Park has been standing by the door and listening to the words of the two. There was nothing to deceive around him, so he listened to Park's words and walked to the hall of Park's house.
As he walked, he pretended to ask inadvertently, "Doctor Yuan from the house next door seems to be the doctor who treated my cousin two days ago." My cousin is still lying in bed and has not been well, and I don't know if this Dr. Yuan's craftsmanship is reliable? β
"My mother has always taken the medicine prescribed by Dr. Yuan, anyway, the medicine he prescribed is more affordable than the medicine prescribed by the county and even the state capital, and it is also the best use. Since the beginning of autumn in the past two years, my mother's cough has been alleviated a lot. So you can rest assured, Dr. Yuan will not treat people indiscriminately. Your name is Noble, right? β
It is estimated that she has not dealt with the villagers and neighbors for a long time, and the fat aunt is very lonely, and it is rare for the family to not see the outside, and she will not look down on her family, so she talks a lot.
Yuan Tong has always dealt with whom, and Noble turned the corner to find out. He smiled and said, "Yes, my name is Noble." The girl just called me by name, don't be polite to me. I don't know if this Dr. Yuan is easy to deal with? Who does he associate with? The young master and I said that we would have to return to our hometown next year, and we would have to walk for many months on the road, and we would have to buy some good medicine. If Dr. Yuan has more medicines, and they are still valuable, I can't say that our young master will also buy some of the ones sold on the road! β
Park is not as naΓ―ve as her own daughter, although she has never dealt with people very much, but her late father has been to other places to run business, and when he is alive, he often talks to her about things outside, so she has some experience.
At this time, she heard that Bao wanted to inquire about Yuan Tong's news. After smiling at Noble with a deep meaning, she pointed out directly and said: "Little brother is worthy of being a trader, and he can also think of things about buying and selling when he sees the medicinal materials dried in the courtyard." It's just that Dr. Yuan has always been in a relationship with whom, but it has nothing to do with trading! (To be continued.) )
