Chapter 136 The Road Meets Porcelain
bought some famous red robe peppercorns in Hancheng, and the Lan guards rushed to help with things, but Lan's mother was tense and didn't say anything, Zhou Xiaofu was about to laugh in her heart.
Walking all the way until there is nothing better at the end of the street, I am about to go back, the streets of this Hancheng are so big, I bought some food and play, and some small jewelry or something, and turned around and walked back.
As soon as he turned around, he sensed a figure rushing over, but the heat energy value of this figure was very small, Zhou Xiaofu just staggered his body lightly and stepped back.
Just listen to the 'plop' a small figure pounce on the ground.
Zhou Xiaofu and Lan's mother came over and looked curiously, but Lan Hui had a dark face, I was afraid that he would touch porcelain.
The little body that pounced on it crawled up, and then shouted at Zhou Xiaofu: "You, you knocked me down, lose money, lose money." ”
Only then did Zhou Xiaofu see clearly that this was a boy with beautiful eyebrows and a pair of very smart eyes.
What he said was not at all likeable.
Obviously, the big guy didn't expect him to say such a thing, and they all frowned and looked at the villain.
Guarding Lan stepped forward in the duty of a guard and said, "Whose child are you, how dare you touch porcelain, aren't you afraid that I will come to your family." ”
When the child heard this, he took a step back in fright, and suddenly fell to it, and his little face turned white with fright: "Don't, don't tell my father, wow, my father is sick, and he has no money to see a doctor." "Obviously, this little guy is doing this for the first time, and he was scared by the Lan guards all of a sudden.
Lan Huwei was not a ruthless person, he looked at Zhou Xiaofu when he saw the child crying, and without waiting for Zhou Xiaofu to give any instructions, he saw Lan's mother running over and picking up the child at once, and while dusting him off, she asked distressedly: "Did you fall?" It hurts, why don't you go and see a doctor. ”
When the child heard Mother Lan's question, he looked at Escort Lan's hideous face timidly, and shook his head in fright.
Mother Lan frowned and glanced at Escort Lan, Escort Lan immediately relaxed his expression when he saw this, and even laughed, Zhou Xiaofu was stunned, this is not as good as not laughing, it is even more scary.
Zhou Xiaofu also stepped forward and asked, "Child, is your father sick?" ”
When the child heard this, he wiped his tears and said: "Yes, my father has a waist disease, and I refused to ask a doctor, but I just let me grab some medicine to eat, I think there must be no money, I saw Li Erba on the street last time, he asked someone else to ask for money, and the person gave it, I think I can too, if you want to get the money, you can ask your father for a doctor, woo woo." Then the boy began to cry again.
Zhou Xiaofu felt a little dull in her heart, she was not a nosy person, but when she looked up, she saw Lan's mother's sad face, presumably thinking of her child who had gone early.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xiaofu said: "Let's go, go see your father, if it's really like you said, I'll give you money to ask for a doctor." ”
The kid immediately laughed when he heard Zhou Xiaofu say this, but there were still tears on his face, and he didn't know how distressing he was.
Along the way, Mother Lan handed over all the things in her arms to Cuihua, and she held the child, the child was also a well-behaved person.
Until I walked a row of simple courtyards on the edge of Hancheng, these courtyards were far from being as beautiful and sturdy as those built on the streets of Hancheng, just houses made of red bricks and courtyard walls made of soil.
When I walked to the innermost house, the door of this yard was open, and there were a few chickens walking around in the yard, and the yard was very clean, when a woman in a blue coarse dress came out of the west house, carrying a bowl in her hand.
Seeing that there was someone at the door, he didn't even put the bowl and greeted him, and as soon as he came out, he saw the child break free of Lan's mother's hand and rushed up and called: "Mother, mother, is Dad better?" ”
The woman was a little worried when she saw a stranger coming back with her son, "Here, may I ask, why is the son with my child, and is this child doing something wrong." ”
Zhou Xiaofu shook her head and glanced at Mother Lan.
Lan's mother explained: "There is nothing wrong, I heard this child say that his father is sick and crying a lot, my young master saw pity in his heart and came over to take a look." ”
When the woman heard this, her face immediately became sad, and she said, "Yes, my husband is injured today, and he has a back disease, and he refuses to ask a doctor, but he just asks him to get medicine, and this child keeps asking why he is sick and doesn't ask a doctor." ”
The woman let Zhou Xiaofu enter the yard together, Zhou Xiaofu observed, although the walls of this small yard are old, but the damaged ones have been repaired in time, the vegetable garden in front of it is cold, and there is not even a grass root when the vegetables are harvested, and the ground has been turned over.
The woman took Zhou Xiaofu and them into the room on the east side, and as soon as she entered the door, she called, "Mother, a guest is coming." ”
Saying that, Zhou Xiaofu and a few of them sat down, and the paint on the furniture fell off, just ordinary wooden furniture, fortunately, it was very clean.
After a while, I saw an old lady with a dark blue forehead come out of the inner room, this old lady was kind and kind-eyed, and when she saw a guest, she hurriedly greeted: "Old man, hurry up and pour water for the guest." ”
The woman went out, and Mother Lan stepped forward to help the old lady sit down.
The old lady talks well, speaks gently and politely, not like an old lady from a villager's house.
After some chatting, I learned that the old lady's surname is Chang, and her husband's surname is Hu, before marrying her husband, she was a maid in the Assassin's Mansion, or a second-class maid in front of her wife, and when she was old, Mrs. thanked her for serving since she was a child, so she asked her to marry an unmarried maid or guard in the house, but she saw that a guard surnamed Hu did not sell his body, and he chose him honestly.
Then the lady also released her deed of sale, so both of them took the reward they had saved and settled in their husband's hometown of Hancheng.
After giving birth to her son, her body became more and more difficult, and the illness in the confinement was dragged on for a long time, and she needed long-term nourishment, and as a result, after her son married his daughter-in-law, the family's land was also sold.
Over the years, she has relied on her son to do small jobs or escort darts to earn some money, but her illness is a rich disease, earning one and spending two, and the result is that the family is getting poorer and poorer, and this afternoon the son was called by Master Sun's apprentice, and he was carried back.
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaofu and the others all understood that this person was none other than Master Hu, who had a back injury at noon.
Speaking of this, seeing that the three girls were crying, the little one looked at Zhou Xiaofu expectantly, I am afraid that I still remember what Zhou Xiaofu said about asking his father to ask for a doctor.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said, "Take me to meet your father." ”
The child jumped up and cheered and went over to pull Zhou Xiaofu, but Zhou Xiaofu was wearing satin and gorgeous clothes, and the little guy stretched out his hand and retracted it.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and reached over to take his hand and left.
Because Zhou Xiaofu was wearing men's clothes, no one thought it was a problem for her to go to see the male owner of the house, and they didn't stop her.
The room on the west side happened to be the room where the woman had just come out with an empty bowl, and the child opened the door and rushed in, shouting, "Daddy, you can call a doctor." ”
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and followed to the room inside, and the man lying down was Master Hu.
I was very surprised to see Zhou Xiaofu coming, and it was difficult to find fault with her.
Zhou Xiaofu said the reason with a smile, and also said that the child was going to touch porcelain, and this Master Hu was going to beat the child as soon as he heard that he was angry.
Zhou Xiaofu asked why he didn't invite a doctor when he gave him fifty taels for treatment when he left, could it be that Sun Wang didn't give it, and he lost the money.
Master Hu said with a look of shame: "Childe, no. Grandpa is a bit domineering, and he often does things that bully the people, but he never goes too far, and he is still righteous, but he has a lot of eyes. Certain's family background is not good, and grandpa often helps the family, not only giving the young master the fifty taels you rewarded, but grandpa also added five taels of silver. ”
Zhou Xiaofu frowned and looked at Master Hu suspiciously.
Hu Cheng said with an embarrassed face: "So-and-so's mother is sick and needs some nourishing medicinal materials, so So-and-so wants to save some and buy medicinal materials for his mother, but he is reluctant to ask for a doctor, so this child will think that there is no money at home, and please don't blame the child, it's all the fault of so-and-so." ”
Only then did Zhou Xiaofu understand.
Zhou Xiaofu stopped: "Master Hu, don't worry about it first, wait until you get better and then punish you, now let's talk about other things." ”
Master Hu was stunned, something else.
Zhou Xiaofu said that he wanted Master Qinghu to be a guard for himself, five taels of silver per month, and a red envelope of no less than ten taels of silver at the end of the year, and he would invite a good doctor to give his mother special diagnosis and treatment, but the medicine fee had to be paid by himself, of course, he could also pay it back later.
When Master Hu heard this, it was five taels a month, and there were ten taels at the end of the year, and it was a hundred taels less in the next year.
Big families have a little reward or something, this lady is enough to see a doctor and take medicine, but there is such a good thing there, and asked with some hesitation: "Young master, do you want to sign a deed of sale?" ”
Zhou Xiaofu said with a smile: "Twenty-year deed, you can take everyone in the family to go, the child and your mother do not need the deed, your daughter-in-law can do some pulp washing, and the child can follow the children in Zhuangzi to read or practice martial arts." ”
Zhou Xiaofu said a few words that Hu Cheng was very tempted in his heart, but this strange young master didn't know how to fall in love with himself, and this matter still had to be considered.
Zhou Xiaofu asked the child to find a pen and paper to write the address and who he needed to find, and then got up and said goodbye, there are some things that cannot be forced.
After saying goodbye, he called Lan's mother to go back together, Lan's mother was reluctant when she left the yard, and the child saw that Zhou Xiaofu did not ask for a doctor for his father, and he was immediately a little unhappy, and he was about to cry when he pouted.
Zhou Xiaofu smiled and said to the child, "Let's go, I'll ask this uncle to hire a doctor for your father, and you can go with you or wait at home." ”
