Chapter 092: The Old Man
A few people talked about Hua Yue's physical condition again.
Zhong Lang said: "There is news about the scorpion fruit that I didn't find before, but the people who bought it haven't seen this medicine and don't know whether it's true or not, so I have to bother Miss Xiao to go to Lingshan County in the north of Yong'an County." ”
"When are you leaving?" Hearing that the rare medicinal materials had been found, Xiao Yu was a lot more excited and immediately asked.
"It's better tomorrow." Hua Yue said, "Let Yuanzhi and Poria go with you, both of them are a little skilled in martial arts, and I will borrow Yucheng from the general to come over to protect and take care of them." ”
Xiao Yu said: "Is this too laborious? ”
"There is no room for failure to go to get medicine, it should be so." Hua Yue shook her head and said, "The journey is far away, and it may take a few days to go back and forth, so Miss Ayu had better bring a maid." ”
The next day, when he was ready to stop, Xiao Yu still decided not to bring a maid. Several people took the carriage onto the official road and headed for Lingshan County.
The carriage galloped, and at noon I found a random restaurant to eat something and continued on my way. At dusk, there is still more than half an hour away from Lingshan County.
Xiao Yu sat in the car all day, and he was dizzy and tight, so he decided to find an inn nearby to live in and enter the county seat tomorrow.
Although I was sore from the jolt, I was fortunate to have nothing to do all night, but I also had a good night's sleep.
The next day, everything went well, and after Xiao Yu's identification, the scorpion fruits were all real and of good quality, so Zhong Lang sent someone to find medicine to buy all the six scorpion fruits he found.
Now that the important task has been completed, Xiao Yu was in a good mood, remembered something, and said: "I have an old man who happens to live in Lingshan County, I haven't seen him for a long time, I want to visit." ”
"I haven't heard you mention it." Xiao Yucheng was surprised.
"At that time, I went south with me, and I was busy with all kinds of trivial matters for the past two years, and I didn't have any contact, so it was good to come and see it." Xiao Yu explained.
So Yuanzhi and Poria first sent the scorpion fruit back to the General's Mansion with Wu Mo, who was buying medicinal herbs, while Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng went to visit friends.
A few years ago, when Xiao Yu was still living in her mother Su Ying's handkerchief to Aunt Zhang, she had a personal maid named Hancui, who served her with all her heart, and the relationship between the two was very good. There is not much difference in age. Xiao Yu treats him like a friend. Later, Aunt Zhang was seriously ill and afraid that it would be difficult to shelter Xiao Yu, so she was asked to go back to the south and be accompanied by Han Cui.
When she arrived in Lingshan County, Hancui unexpectedly met her childhood sweetheart next door before she sold herself as a slave. Reunited after a long absence, they have affection for each other. The two are inseparable.
Xiao Yu then returned the deed of sale to Hancui, and bought a dowry for him to let the two get married. Han Cui and her husband settled in the countryside of Lingshan County, while Xiao Yu and her two followers went to Yong'an County.
After more than two years, Hancui's family has built a new house, and the pink walls and black tiles are quite wide.
Xiao Yucheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Here we are." A woman's voice could be heard from inside the house. Not much. The door opened, and a young village woman with a round face and a delicate face walked out and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for this son?" ”
Xiao Yu walked out from behind Xiao Yucheng with a smile: "Hancui, it's me, do you remember?" ”
Hancui wears a coarse caftan brown, but is clean and tidy. She was stunned for a moment, then took a few steps forward excitedly, and said happily: "Girl, why are you here?" Please take a seat in the room! ”
Xiao Yu introduced as he walked into the house with Hancui: "This is the younger brother I recognize, surnamed Xiao Yucheng." This time, I have something to accompany me to Lingshan County. How have you been doing in the past two years? ”
"The family is quite rich." Hancui smiled softly, "The girl gave the silver land, and Xinglang has some strength, so he can be fed and clothed all year round, and he only started a new house at the beginning of the year." ”
After entering the room while talking, Xiao Yu and Xiao Yucheng sat down in the hall. Hancui is busy boiling water, although the wind of drinking tea is flourishing now, but it is limited to the rich and noble, ordinary people have some broken tea is good, and most of the guests are still ginger syrup or even white water. Xiao Yu looked around. Tables and chairs and other furniture are also available.
"You're home alone?" After bringing the tea, Xiao Yu asked Han Cuidao.
"Xinglang has gone to the ground." Hancui nodded, and then her eyebrows were dyed with melancholy, and she said gloomily. "I haven't had a son and a half daughter for three years of marriage, so I'm a little lonely."
Xiao Yucheng was a little embarrassed and said that he was going out for a walk.
Seeing this, Han Cui's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "The girl is not out of the pavilion, she shouldn't have said these words, I was frivolous." It's just that this pain is held in my heart. No one can complain. ”
Seeing him crying, Xiao Yu hurriedly comforted him and sighed: "It's a pity that I don't know much about medical skills, let alone gynecology." You didn't look for a doctor? ”
"I've been to see a little famous people in the neighborhood, but it's useless. I can't afford to take medicine that is too expensive. Han Cui bowed his head.
Xiao Yu took out the two small silver bills of ten taels he was carrying and handed them over.
"Girl, no. You have bought me a dowry field, and this kindness is no longer reciprocatable. How can I take this money? Han Cui resolutely refused.
Xiao Yu sighed: "You have also been in a big family, you should know that this little money is nothing." It's rare for me to come over, so you can take it first. ”
"Thank you, girl." Hancui hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted it gratefully.
After all, the two are not as familiar as they used to be, and they don't know what to say. At this time, a woman from the village came over and invited Hancui to go to the river to dismantle clothes.
Xiao Yu smiled and said, "In this case, I still have to hurry, so I will leave first." ”
Hancui said a few words to the village women, and kept Xiao Yu and said, "If the girl is not in a hurry, she will eat before leaving." ”
"No, you get busy first." Xiao Yu remembered the residual poison on Huayue's body, waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do, you can go to Niujiao Village in Qinghe County to have a look." ”
Hancui nodded, sent Xiao Yu out, and Xiao Yucheng walked over.
The two silently walked out of the village, Xiao Yu sighed: "In the end, it turned out that she was only a master and servant for two years, but now that each other is older, she is no longer the delicate girl she used to be." What's more, life is difficult and things are not as good as they should be. I'm afraid there will still be no contact in the future. It's my imagination. ”
"You can't force this matter in the first place, so it's better if you just let it go." Xiao Yu became enlightened.
Xiao Yu was a little stunned. After a long separation, when we met again, I found that the friendship I cherished in my heart was long gone.
"I hope she's doing well." Xiao Yu said.
It was not early, and the two stayed at the inn in Lingshan County for one night.
The way back didn't have to be as hurried as when they came, the two still took the carriage of the General's Mansion, and there were mountains and greens along the way, with a Lingnan scenery.
Walking to a certain fork in the road, Xiao Yucheng said: "From the trail to Luofeng Mountain, it is said that the mountain is rich in medicine, and there is no shortage of rare treasures. Would you be interested in taking a look? ”
Xiao Yu had actually been to this famous mountain in Yong'an County, and was planning to go, so he said happily when he heard this: "Then go and have a look." ”
Xiao Yucheng let the coachman turn into the path, and it didn't take long for him to see the mountains in front of him from a distance, which seemed to stretch endlessly at a glance, and the peak was thick and misty, and the clouds were like belts, and the scrolls were flying, which was a wonder.
