Chapter 27: Encounter
Gao Mingde told Shujie about the efficacy of those pills again, and the name of the medicine was pasted on each porcelain bottle.
"Little brother, Xie Lu, thank you for believing me, these medicines really have a very good effect, and they are easy to store and use. I am now penniless, and it is the first time I have entered Beijing, so I have to sell them at a low price to change the entanglement. You just give me a hundred taels of silver, uh, it's really not good, at least eighty taels, in fact, one hundred taels is not enough to buy medicinal herbs, so let's make friends. Of course, you also helped me. ”
Shujie nodded in response, even if he didn't have these medicines, he was willing to pay a hundred taels to buy the prescription and dietary prescription for Shuwen. Not only did this Gao Gongzi not exaggerate Shuwen's illness, but also bluntly said that his condition was getting better and better, which proved that this Gongzi not only had excellent medical skills, but also had a good character.
While Gao Mingde turned around to get a pen and paper to write a prescription, Shu Yao took out three silver tickets of one hundred taels from the mahogany box and quietly stuffed them to Shu Jie. This Gao Mingde's eight years in the capital have a very strong momentum, and he has a good relationship with the royal family, many high-ranking families, and powerful officials, and Shu Yao sincerely hopes that the eldest brother can make friends with Gao Mingde.
Moreover, a year later, I am afraid that these dozen bottles of medicine will not be able to buy three thousand taels of silver, just the bottle of antidote pill called "Wanhua Dan", it is said that one is worth three hundred taels, and it is extremely difficult to buy, and now there are six in the porcelain bottle.
Shujie doesn't know so much about Lu Dao, and he doesn't know Lu Dao Shuyao's thoughts about wanting him to befriend Gao Mingde, but he is like Xia Linxuan, he has a chivalrous heart, as long as he is sure that the other party is not a bad person, he is always willing to do things that he has the ability to help.
Thinking so, he handed the silver ticket to Gao Mingde: "The capital costs a lot, and Gao Gongzi is not familiar with the place, so it is better to prepare more silver." ”
Gao Mingde looked at the amount of the silver ticket, and was greatly moved: "The little brother is benevolent and righteous, but the brother really needs the silver, and he is not pretentious, even if the brother borrowed it from you, he owes you a favor, and asks the little brother to inform the honorable name." ”
Shujie said with a smile: "The younger brother's surname is Xia, his name is Shujie, the senior brother doesn't have to mind, you treat my younger brother, let us settle down on his body, and it also helps us a lot." ”
Gao Mingde still made a big gift, these three brothers and sisters are not richly dressed, and he has obviously said that at least eighty taels of silver is enough, but Brother Xia gave him three hundred taels, and no one has used his medicine, not to mention the value of Zhilu Dao medicine, obviously, he just wants to help him. It is his blessing to meet such a kind and righteous person. Of course, he will definitely return this love in the future.
Gao Mingde prescribed prescriptions and dietary prescriptions, and wrote down the efficacy and usage of various pills and powders in detail, and then sent Shujie and the three of them out of the inn, and paid five taels of silver at the counter by the way: "I have to stay for one night tonight, and in addition, prepare three fresh noodles for me one night and send them to the room." "He hasn't eaten a drop of rice since last night.
The guy answered loudly, and muttered to the tent when Gao Mingde turned to go up the stairs: "It's really wronged, you actually believe that a person who sells fake medicine won't eat the dead, right?" ”
Gao Mingde snorted coldly in his heart: "People like you are not worthy of my medicine." However, he sincerely thanked Shujie, otherwise it would not be easy to meet someone who could trust him, and he didn't know if Lu Dao would be able to go to the capital smoothly.
As soon as Shu Yao and the three of them stepped into the "Cloud Fang", they actually met Zhou's head-on, and there was a little girl wearing a plum red brocade skirt next to her, who was her cousin Xia Shuqing, who was four years older than herself.
Uncle Xia Linyu has three sons and two daughters, of which the eldest son Xia Shuyi, the second son Xia Shuyao, and the second daughter Xia Shuqing were all born to the Zhou family, and the eldest daughter Xia Shulin and the youngest son Xia Shuyu were born as concubines.
Xia Shuqing is much more cunning than her parents and two brothers-in-law, and she always has an elegant and generous ladylike demeanor in front of people.
Guo Jinnan is three years older than Xia Shuqing, the two have been married since childhood, Guo's father once saved Xia Linyu, and the two families are also close friends. Who knew that when Guo Jinnan was fourteen years old, his father was killed by bandits, and the family property was also robbed by his uncle to "pay off debts", so the mother and son had to go to Yulin Town to join the Xia Mansion, and used Guo's mother's small dowry to buy a small courtyard on the edge of the town, and bought a few acres of land in the suburban village to collect rent.
I wanted to wait for Xia Shuqing and Lu Hou, but Guo Jinnan's filial piety period had just passed, so I hurriedly let the two get married, and then Guo Jinnan went to Beijing to take the exam, but who knew that he later married Xia Shulin, and the mother and son have always felt ashamed of Xia Shuqing.
Not long after, Xia Shuqing married the eldest son of a wealthy businessman, but less than half a year after marrying, the man died of illness somehow, and Xia Shuqing was also abandoned and driven out.
At the same time, Guo Jinnan was admitted to the Jinshi examination and was assigned to a large county on the outskirts of Beijing as a county magistrate, and he heard that his future was very promising. coincided with Xia Shulin preparing to give birth, so she had to stay in Yulin Town to give birth first, and then take the child into Beijing after the full moon, and Guo's mother also stayed to take care of her daughter-in-law and grandson.
As a result, Xia Shulin had a difficult birth, and after giving birth to a son, she died of hemorrhage, and in order to take care of her poor little nephew, Xia Shuqing married Guo Jinnan as a continuation.
When Shu Yao lived in the Hou Mansion of Weiyuan, Xia Shuqing also came to the door several times and visited Mrs. Hou as Shu Yao's cousin, wanting to get close. It's a pity that Mrs. Yao Xuelan is so shrewd and very cold to her, and she also analyzed Xia Shuqing's twists and turns in her family affairs with Shu Yao.
Later, Shu Yao inadvertently saved Shuqing's personal maid Qiaohe, only to hear Qiaohe confirm Shuqing's viciousness, it turned out that Shulin was forced to marry Guo Jinnan when she fell into the water, and the tragic death during childbirth was all planned by Shuqing. Qiaohe also escaped because she was pregnant with Guo Jinnan's child and was raised as an aunt and was persecuted by Shuqing.
Although Shu Yao in her previous life didn't have much contact with Shu Qing and didn't have anything to do with her, it was better to stay away from this kind of hypocritical and vicious person.
As soon as Zhou saw Shujie and the three of them, he spat heavily on the ground: "Is this also where you came?" There are things that no one teaches in life, and you still want to learn how to twist needles and threads to dress elegantly? ”
Shu Yao tilted her head and looked at Shu Jie: "Big brother, did the eldest aunt say that she has no one to teach her in life?" Does it mean that there is no education? My mother said that spitting is what uneducated rough people do, how dirty! ”
Shuwen also frowned: "That's it, my mother said that if there is a virus, it will be transmitted to the people around you through saliva." ”
Most of the guests who came to the "Cloud Fang" were women, and most of them were from relatively well-off families, and they felt uncomfortable when they saw Zhou's loud spitting and heavy voices, and when they heard the words of Shu Yao's sisters and brothers, they looked at Zhou with contempt, and they covered their mouths and noses and pushed them away.
"It's disgusting, this is really the life of no one to teach."
"It's not, even children know the truth, and people at such an age don't know the way."
"Shopkeeper, why don't you find someone to clean it up? There are so many of us here, don't get any diseases. ”
……
Zhou's face was so angry that she blushed and turned white, but she didn't dare to scold here, in case she bumped into any lady or lady, it would be terrible, she had just offended the golden tongue beside the emperor a few days ago, and she hadn't forgotten it.
Shuqing beside Zhou's side couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, this mother is really getting more and more unseemly, the last time she quarreled with the third aunt in "Huitong Qianzhuang", she also spit out a mouthful of phlegm like this, and was almost driven out by the guys in Qianzhuang, why did she forget it so quickly? If their Xia family hadn't been deprived of their titles, her mother would also be a lady-in-waiting now, how could this be...... Vulgar?
