Chapter 188: Conscience Discovery
The maid was still counting down Sister-in-law Chu: "Fortunately, our young grandmother is blessed to meet a good person like our young master, otherwise she might not be living a hard life!" It's also the young grandmother who is soft-hearted and will send you silver. If you want to be me, I won't recognize you! This silver is rewarded to the roadside and called Hanako, and you can accumulate some blessings! ”
The bag of silver in Sister-in-law Chu's hand slid weakly to the ground, and the dull voice seemed to hit the bottom of her heart.
She stepped forward and grabbed the maid's hand, and asked in a trembling voice, "Qingluo said...... Did I sell her? Did she really say that? ”
The maid frowned and glanced at Sister-in-law Chu a few times, a little inexplicable, but she still said, "It's not you or who?" ”
Sister-in-law Chu was stunned for a moment, took two steps back and sat down, and cried bitterly like a collapse.
The maid's face was slightly startled, but she didn't say anything more, and coldly dropped a sentence: "What's the use of you crying louder now?" The young grandmother said, these coins can be regarded as the last love for you, don't come to the Zhao family to make trouble in the future, she doesn't want to see you again! ”
Su Xue behind the curtain kept silent, pursed her lips and thought quietly.
Sister-in-law Chu said that Lin Xiucai secretly took Qingluo and sold it, but Qingluo decided that it was Sister-in-law Chu who sold her.
The only joint that can go wrong is Lin Xiucai......
Just thinking about it, the maid had already turned around and went out, Su Xue also stood up and walked out quickly, just lifted the curtain, but saw Ah Zheng hurriedly running in, and said hurriedly: "Doctor Su, take a look, this ...... What's going on? ”
Ah Zheng was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he held a large bowl of thin medicinal juice for Su Xue to see.
Seeing that the maid had already gone downstairs, Su Xue hurriedly turned around and instructed Miaomeng: "You chase down this bag of silver money and return it to her, if she asks." You said that Sister-in-law Chu came to look for her daughter. It's not about asking for money. ”
Miaomu nodded. Pick up the bag of silver on the ground and follow it.
Su Xue turned around and looked at the things handed over to Ah Zheng and was shocked.
"What is this for?" She asked, pointing to the black linen thing.
Ah Zheng scratched his head, shook the big bowl in his hand, and said, "This ...... It's the tortoiseshell glue you said. I don't know why, I can't become a thick paste after staying up for a long time, and I'm urging over there, but I'm in a hurry! ”
Su Xue took the big bowl and took a closer look, she almost didn't recognize that it was tortoiseshell glue.
It stands to reason. As long as it is not inferior tortoiseshell gum, it can be boiled into a thick paste, why is this so thick now?
Seeing that Su Xue was silent, Ah Zheng hurriedly added: "I boiled it with a simmer according to the method you said, but it can't be formed when it is born, and the color is not right. Recently, this medical hall has been busy, and I have ordered the following guys to buy medicinal materials, could it be that there is a problem with this tortoiseshell glue......
Su Xue listened quietly, leaned closer and sniffed lightly, the pungent smell of alcohol hit, Su Xue frowned and tilted her head. Asked, "How much rice wine did you add?" ”
Ah Zheng looked serious and replied, "Less than a bottle." ”
As he spoke, he explained with a little embarrassment: "There are not too many ready-made rice wines in the medical hall. This is still bought from Amun, what, isn't it enough? ”
Su Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Zhang Xiang had just re-propped up this medical hall, and many medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet were in short supply, and this tortoiseshell glue was only purchased not long ago, and Ah Zheng was not very good at boiling, so Su Xue didn't blame him for this.
But boiling a piece of tortoiseshell glue can use a bottle of rice wine, and Ah Zheng is really confused.
"For such a amount, three or two spoonfuls of rice wine will do." After Su Xue finished speaking, she returned the large bowl of thin tortoiseshell glue to him.
Ah Zheng was stunned for a while holding the bowl, and he couldn't help laughing.
"I'll just say...... What's going on, Dr. Zhang really didn't teach me this thing, I thought it wasn't enough, I had to continue to add it. ”
Ah Zheng said curtly, glanced at Sister-in-law Chu who was sitting inside and sobbing, and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Su, is that ......?"
Su Xue frowned and urged Ah Zheng to go out, and asked, "Didn't you say that you were urging over there?" Is it Dr. Zhang's prescription? Who is going to use this tortoiseshell glue? ”
As she spoke, she had already gone out of the room with Ah Zheng, and Su Xue looked back at Sister-in-law Chu again, and saw that she had calmed down a lot, so she was a little relieved.
"What's the recipe for us? It was the old mother who pointed out the tortoiseshell glue. Ah Zheng said, and couldn't help but smile, "Fortunately, Dr. Su reminded me, otherwise there would really be no way at this time." ”
Ah Zheng said as he pointed down.
Su Xue's eyes moved down, and an old woman was waiting in the lobby, still talking to the same girl.
Su Xue turned her head to see the girl's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but be surprised, wasn't that the maid next to Qingluo?
And she really had that bag of money in her hand.
It seems that Miaomeng's hands and feet are quite neat.
The maid and the old mother said a few words, and the two of them were a little excited, so they said goodbye to the old mother and went out with the money.
Su Xue stared at the woman in the lobby closely, her expression seemed to be anxious, and she had been restless since the maid left.
"Who is that old woman, do you know?" Su Xue asked Ah Zheng softly.
"Don't you know by looking at that garment? is the old mother of the Zhao family. Where can ordinary people afford such a valuable tortoiseshell glue? ”
As soon as Ah Zheng talked about the Zhao family, he was a little dissatisfied, and the Zhao family's reputation in Jizhou was indeed not very good.
Su Xue looked at the woman with a fixed gaze, and after hearing Ah Zheng's words, her face suddenly changed, and she turned her head and looked at the bowl of boiled tortoiseshell glue in Ah Zheng's hand with deep meaning, and said with a smile: "Then you are really capable this time, otherwise how dare you boil tortoiseshell glue like this?" ”
When Ah Zheng heard this, he grinned stiffly.
Su Xue shrugged her shoulders and looked away, and sighed: "Hey, this piece of tortoiseshell glue is probably worth half a year's salary......
Ah Zheng smiled even brighter, and said with a shy face: "Doctor Su, I think so, or let's put this broken one on their Zhao family's head, and their Zhao family is not short of this little money, ......are you right?"
Su Xue smiled lightly: "What's the use of me saying yes or not?" You have to ask Dr. Zhang about this. ”
Ah Zheng saw that he was not flattering enough, so he had to beg for mercy in a low voice: "Doctor Su, you can be accommodating." Don't talk to Dr. Zhang. You also know Dr. Zhang's temperament. After knowing this, not only will I have to pay for it, but I will also be deducted from my salary for another two months! ”
Su Xue raised her eyebrows, looking like she didn't care about anything, and said, "It's just two months' salary, you save a little, isn't it?" ”
Ah Zheng immediately cried with a mournful face: "Doctor Su...... Two months' wages are not a casual talk, but my family is counting on my money......"
As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice: "It's really the young lady of the Jiang family, I don't know how to understand the suffering......"
Su Xue's eyebrows twisted: "What do you say?" ”
Ah Zheng hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing......"
Su Xuehu looked at him suspiciously.
Ah Zheng continued to plead with a bitter face: "Doctor Su." You can make it convenient, I promise there will be no next time, I must ask clearly, I must ......"
Su Xue glanced at the mother-in-law waiting in the lobby, her eyes rolled slightly, and she smiled secretly.
"I can help you keep it a secret, but you also have to do something for me."
Ah Zheng was overjoyed when she heard this, she was an official lady, how could she ask him for something big? Therefore, Ah Zheng responded without thinking about it.
"As long as it's not murder and arson, it's against morality. Doctor Su, if you can say it, I can do it! Ah Zheng patted his chest.
Now there is a handle in Su Xue's hand. can only say what Su Xue says.
He wanted to see what strange and strange things this Miss Jiang family could say.
Su Xue smiled lightly, and gently held her sleeve and pointed to the lobby.
Ah Zheng looked over and his eyes fell on the old mother impartially.
Isn't that the mother-in-law of the Zhao family who is waiting for his tortoiseshell glue?
He looked back at Su Xue suspiciously, as if he wanted to wait for an explanation.
Su Xue just pursed her lips and smiled, "It's not difficult, you just need to ...... Ask her about someone. ”
Ah Zheng couldn't help but look back again, and he was suspicious in his heart......
The Zhao family's mansion is very large, although the layout inside is not as elaborate as the official mansion, and it does not pay attention to the elegant style, but the furniture and items in the house are extremely expensive and luxurious.
After all, a big merchant like the Zhao family is most lacking in money.
Qingluo sent the maid to deliver the silver to Sister-in-law Chu, but she was restless, looking out of the door nervously from time to time.
finally waited for the maid to come back, but saw that she was still holding the bag of silver money in her hand.
"What? Lose someone? Qingluo blurted out.
After saying that, he felt that he seemed to care too much, and pursed his lips and tightened his face.
The maid put down the silver coin, and was also slightly displeased: "The person found it, and it was in the medical hall on the main street in the west of the city." ”
said and added: "It's the medical hall where Li's mother said that there was a miracle doctor last time." I went in and asked, and the guy said that there was no Dr. Su on the second floor, and he took me up to take a look, and he was really there, crying a lot! ”
"What do you do when you go to the hospital? Could it be that she was injured......" Qingluo muttered to herself.
He raised his head again and looked at the silver coin that had been brought back, and said with a stiff neck: "Since you have found it, why did you get it back?" What's the matter, isn't she enough? ”
The maid pouted: "The little one gave her all the silver, but she didn't expect her to look at it, so she cried vigorously." Later, somehow, the maid next to Dr. Su returned the silver, saying that Sister-in-law Chu was here to find her daughter, not to ask for money. Could it be that she still has a conscience and really wants to come back to recognize you? ”
When Qingluo heard this, she was slightly moved, but she quickly sank her face again, and said coldly: "If she still has a conscience, she won't sell me for ten taels of silver, and she won't be so ruthless, and she won't come to see me for five years!" ”
Qingluo said that when she was excited, she couldn't help but sit down with a shake, covering her mouth and sobbing softly.
The maid hurriedly took the silk silk and stepped forward to comfort her.
"Young grandma, why do you bother to be sad for that ruthless person again? If the young master sees you crying, he will have to train people again. ”
Qingluo gritted her teeth and said, "Who said I was sad for her?" She doesn't want silver or two pennies, so I won't beg her to ask for it! In the future, if she dares to appear outside the Zhao family, let the steward drive her away, and drive her as far away as possible! ”
Qingluo said hatefully, but the tears in her eyes kept flowing.
She will never forget that afternoon, when she was only eight years old, and her mother took her to a place where there was a lot of noise, saying that she was looking for her father.
She still remembered that there were many large tables set up in it, and people with red faces gathered in a circle, throwing dice and pushing silver on the table as much as they could. She was very frightened, so she held her mother's hand tightly, but although she had pulled it very tightly, she was finally squeezed away.
She was squeezed into a corner, crying while calling her mother. I don't know how long she cried, she didn't wait for her mother, but she waited for a mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law dragged her away and said that she could take her to her mother. But in the end, it was taken outside the Zhao family.
She sensed that something was wrong, and began to cry unruly, saying that she wanted to find her mother, but her mother-in-law was annoyed, took out the deed of sale in her arms and shook it vigorously, and said fiercely: "Your mother has already sold you!" She won't want you anymore if you go back! The young master of the Zhao family is choosing a daughter-in-law, you had better be well-behaved, maybe you can be chosen, if you cry again and make trouble, I will send you to the outer courtyard to be a rough maid! ”
She didn't believe that her mother would sell her, so she cried and pushed her mother-in-law away and ran out.
As soon as he ran a few steps, he was hugged by a man. (To be continued......)
