Chapter 103: Delivering Medicine
Seeing that the Cao family took the initiative to mention the dowry of his deceased wife, Ye Linde frowned, pushed the porcelain cup full of bird's nest soup farther away, and his voice was impatient, "You say." ”
Cao Shi took a deep breath and held the handkerchief against the tip of his nose, "Husband, the concubine is a spoiled daughter, so that Ru Yi is used to a worry-free life, but the husband thinks that the concubine used the dowry of the first lady on Ru Yi, and she really wronged the concubine." Ru Yi likes beautiful dresses and jewelry, but few of them are golden, and there are only a few pieces of red gold jewelry, which are also made by the concubine by melting the gold bowl brought by her mother's family. ”
Cao said sincerely, and did not forget to secretly look at Ye Linde's face with the corner of his eye, seeing that Ye Linde was still skeptical, he simply squeezed out two tears, "Husband, even so, the concubine did not dare to lie, saying that she had never touched the dowry of the first lady." ”
Ye Linde raised his eyes to look at Cao's with a sharp gaze.
Cao's heart hated and scolded Ye Linde, but he didn't dare to have a little resentment on his face, "The concubine knows that her husband likes ancient paintings and strange stones, and the most frequent thing her husband goes to is the antique streets." The concubine knew that it was not easy for her husband to be on duty in the public office, and she didn't dare to let her husband bother with other things or be unsatisfactory, so even if the house was strapped for money, the concubine would never dare to shorten the silver taels of the husband's purchase of ancient paintings and strange stones...... In the first month of entering Beijing, everything in the house needed to be purchased, and it happened that the husband took a fancy to a side of the eight-tone Lingbi stone at that time, and there was really no silver left in the feed, so the concubine, the concubine was ......""
Cao Shi began to choke as she spoke, she and Ru Yi were the best at acting, and finally clearly heard Ye Linde's light and long sigh, she didn't need to look to know that Ye Linde's expression had eased.
Ye Linde did feel guilty, he forgot about himself when he blamed Ye Ruyi for spending so much money.
The strange stone ancient paintings he likes are really worth a lot of money, just the eight-tone Lingbi stone mentioned by the Cao family cost him two thousand taels of silver, when he said to the Cao family, the Cao family handed over the silver ticket to him without a complaint, and Ru Yi wanted a set of gold jewelry, and the Cao family had to melt the gold bowl brought from his mother's house, so it sounded. But he was sorry for Cao's mother and daughter.
Ye Linde got up and led Cao Shi to sit down on the low couch, and ordered the servant to divide the bird's nest into two bowls, and let Cao accompany him to eat, "Hey." I've embarrassed you all these years, but after all, those dowries were brought by the Rong family from her mother's family, and they will be distributed to Chen'er and Yaoyao in the future. It's just that now that we have moved into Beijing, the cost is really large, even so. The annual income of the Zhuangzi in the dowry should be used to supplement the family, and the ones stored in the treasury must not be touched. ”
Ye Linde thought about it again and again, and told Cao Shi about his decision, he boasted that he was a man who stood up to the sky, although using his deceased wife's dowry was detrimental to his integrity, but it was all for the sake of the government, and only the benefits of Zhuangzi were used, which was also the bottom line that he could accept.
Cao looked at Ye Linde gratefully. Rourou nodded, "The concubine can get her husband's understanding, she is already very happy, the husband can rest assured, the concubine will not touch a penny in the treasury, it is the income of the Zhuangzi, and if there is a surplus after the annual expenses, the concubine will also save it for Chen'er and Yaoyao." ”
"Okay, I'll work hard for you." Ye Linde sincerely thanked the Cao family.
The Cao family was overjoyed in his heart, with Ye Linde's words. She can use the slut's dowry in a fair and bright manner, she is in charge of the Zhuangzi account books, the treasury key is in her hand, and Ye Tingyao's grandfather's house has long been missing. No one knew about the dowry, and everything was hers from then on.
……
After noon, Lu Tianqi in the yamen of the Yiwei battalion heard the report of the secret guard and knew that Ye Ruyi had a rash, which was not his doing, but thought that it was the 'buy one get one free' of the doctor saint at the banquet that day. "Heal" Ye Tingyao's face, and by the way, let Ye Ruyi learn some lessons.
Lu Tianqi was also unbearable for the Cao family's mother and daughter, especially Ye Ruyi dared to tear the skirt he sent to Ye Tingyao, today he also planned to make Ye Ruyi suffer, but since the medicinal effect of the medical saint happened to appear at this time, he did not move for the time being.
Lu Tianqi said to the secret guard, "Ye Tingyao saw that her skirt was torn, how did she react. ”
The dark guard shook his head, "Miss Ye is very calm, and she took advantage of this matter to promote a maid under the corridor to be a first-class personal maid. ”
Lu Tianqi gritted his teeth and scolded Ye Tingyao for a white-eyed wolf, the dress he kindly gave her was torn, and he was not sad at all, it was in vain for his hard work.
There was a knock at the door, and Chen Feng entered the door, "Master, the medical saint is asking to see you outside the yamen." ”
Lu Tianqi got up and left the dark room, I don't know what Sun Siheng came to look for him to do, could it be that Ye Chen's medicine has been prepared?
When he arrived in the middle hall, he saw Sun Siheng proudly leaning on the pineapple chair, and when he saw Lu Tianqi, he didn't salute, only waved his hand, and patted the chair next to him like a master, "Sit here." ”
Lu Tianqi sat down speechlessly, and stretched out his hand directly towards Sun Siheng, "Bring the medicine." ”
"How do you know that I have prepared the medicine, and not come to you to get the herbs?"
Sun Siheng took out the bamboo-patterned dripping white jade bottle and threw it into Lu Tianqi's palm, "There are only ten grains in it, after returning to the hanging pot hall that day, I carefully recalled Ye Chen's pulse, not that there was a deviation in judgment, but considering that the medicine of the tiger and wolf has been in Ye Chen's body for more than ten years, it is deep in the heart, in order to be safe, it is best to check the pulse once after taking the medicine every ten days, and then I will call up a new prescription." ”
"Yes, every ten days, I will arrange for you to enter the Ye Mansion, or take Ye Chen out, by the way, Ye Chen can see improvement after taking this medicine for a few days." Lu Tianqi asked in a flat tone.
Sun Siheng shrugged, "It depends on the situation, it will be effective in five days at the latest, it is not difficult to cure Ye Chen's stupidity, the difficult thing is how you and Miss Ye will fill the gap in his understanding of the world for more than ten years, I hope he has a strong enough heart to quickly accept everything in the world as fast as his intellectual recovery." ”
Lu Tianqi frowned and was silent, and nodded after a while, "You don't need to worry about it." ”
"Heh, if you want to help, I won't refuse, heart disease is more difficult to cure than the disease on the body." Sun Siheng smiled and patted Lu Tianqi on the shoulder, "Brother Tianqi, you see that I am working so hard to help you chase the girl, and in the future, there will be a rare medicine like Shitian Shilian, don't hide it, remember to send it to the Hanging Pot Hall as soon as possible." ”
Lu Tianqi was stunned, and glared at Sun Siheng in shame, "Get out!" "How could he chase a girl with such an identity? It's a joke.
Sun Siheng patted his ass and got up, "Okay, I'll get out, I want someone to come and deliver the medicine now." ”
Seeing Sun Siheng walking out of the yamen, Lu Tianqi immediately ordered Ning Han to prepare a horse.
Ning Han said stupidly, "Master, are you really going to visit the Ye Mansion?" ”
"I don't have that much time to visit." Lu Tianqi walked out quickly.
Ning Han followed behind him very anxiously, "Master, Mrs. Jin'er specially asked you to go back to eat with her earlier, master, don't forget ...... when you see Miss Ye" (to be continued.) )
