Chapter 208: The Greenhouse
The eldest girl and her mother sat in the waiting room in the front yard of Renhetang early in the morning, holding their own fried melon seeds, killing time while knocking. I heard that this strange Renhetang has a rule for early morning rounds, and all the apprentices have to get up at the end of the day to make rounds, I really don't know what to say! What kind of room to check? Isn't it just three patients in four wards? Are you still afraid that the patient will flee overnight and not pay the consultation fee?
Yuqing's daughter didn't know if she was blinded by lard or what, she actually quit her errand in the palace, and had to stay in this Renhetang as an apprentice! I'm still busy and I haven't seen anyone at this time! It's like using an apprentice as a brute! Black-hearted!
She spit out rows of melon seed skins on the bluestone floor one after another in retaliation.
A girl wearing a pink and white waist-pinching gown and a strange little hat came over with a broom, and said to her with a displeased face: "Please lift your feet!" ”
The eldest girl and her mother took a closer look, isn't this the daughter of the surname Song in Baishi Village? Why did you come to Renhetang to do day work?
"I said Xiujuan, why did you come here? Does your mom and dad know? She asked eventfully.
Song Xiujuan swept the melon seed skins splashed everywhere on the ground into the dustpan, looked up and said to the eldest girl: "Auntie! Eating in the waiting room is not allowed in our clinic! If you want to eat your melon seeds, go out and eat them! ”
"Yo! So unkind? The eldest girl said in a weird tone, "Rush me outside in the winter, and you will treat me for nothing?" I'm here to wait for my daughter! What if you can't get out? ”
Song Xiujuan was furious: "Auntie! You should pay attention to the impact! The people who come in and out here are all literati from Nanhuai Academy, Sister Yuqing is a person who wants to be faced, and you are messing around in public. But can't she get off the stage? ”
When the eldest girl heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Why am I messing around?" The melon seeds were brought by my own stir-frying. I haven't eaten a sip of your Renhetang's water, and you're not allowed to enjoy it myself? ”
"Isn't there a sputum box on the side table? Auntie, you can't spit in there? I only dragged the ground once in the morning. Now it's all in vain! Song Xiujuan was so angry that her face turned white.
"Nothing is waste!" The eldest girl said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you girls are also here to work for Renhetangbai!" If I were your father, I would have carried your ears back a long time ago! It's so big for nothing! ”
"I'm not working for nothing, I have a monthly routine!" Song Xiujuan argued.
The eldest girl and her mother were stunned, and she didn't like it in her heart, why didn't her daughter give money, but the girl surnamed Song had a monthly example? But she still said strongly: "Monthly case? How many months can you have? Why don't you call Hanako? ”
"Two taels a month!" Song Xiujuan raised her chin too high and said, "The food and accommodation are still in the hospital, and all the silver will be taken home!" My mom and dad agreed with me to come. ”
The eldest girl and her mother stammered. Immediately I was angry! Boy! Two by two! Two taels of silver! Two taels a month, twenty-four taels a year, this is undoubtedly a lot of wealth for people from Xiangfang Village! Why didn't they mention it?
She endured her anger, lowered her voice and said to Song Xiujuan: "Then do you know what is the monthly rate of my family's Yuqing month?" ”
"Sister Yuqing?" Song Xiujuan was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "Sister Yuqing is not here to help, where is the monthly case?" "Actually, don't talk about the month, if it's a normal place. The master teaches a craft or something, and it has to be restricted! The little master is merciful, he doesn't charge money and eats and lodging, it's really good! If she was literate, she would even be willing to be like Sister Yuqing. Apprentice to the infirmary! Can grow your skills!
However, these words fell on the ears of the eldest girl and her mother, obviously very unpleasant, why did the girl in Baishi Village do the work of sprinkling and sweeping. can get two taels of silver a month, and his daughter gets up early in the morning to check what room. But it's for nothing? It's not fair!
Her mentality at the moment is like her daughter being slept in vain by the master of the main family, but she was not promoted to an aunt!
Not! This will never happen! Don't talk about delaying our daughter's youth. If you don't give money, you will send people, even if you have a deed of sale in your hand, you won't be so bad!
Thinking of this, the eldest girl and her mother couldn't sit still anymore, and the melon seeds were not in the mood to swallow, so she got up from the bench and went to the ward inside.
Song Xiujuan hurriedly raised the broom and said, "The people living inside are all seriously ill, but not everyone can enter." ”
"Song Xiujuan!" The eldest girl crossed her waist and said, "Don't be embarrassed!" He yelled at me in the morning, and now he is in my way! I don't think you know how thick the sky is! ”
She relied on her tall height, raised her hand and poked Song Xiujuan's head with her fingertips: "When it comes to seniority, your mother still respects me as an aunt!" You girl's hair hasn't grown yet! Dare to yell at me? It's not big or small! I can't say that today I will teach you a lesson for your father! ”
The eldest girl and her mother are unforgiving, and they are even more unforgiving, in fact, the strong temperament of the eldest girl is also with her mother, but although the eldest girl is strong, she is better than reason, and her mother has a bit of a country shrew.
Song Xiujuan is a cotton and girl, and when she was squeezed by the eldest girl and her mother, tears were about to fall. At this moment, it was still early, Young Master Han, Miss Chen and others were all doing their rounds inside, and the little master Yang Zixi, together with Yang Yiyu's sister-in-law and others, led the tenant farmer to fight against the season of vegetables and fruits, and did not stay in the medical hall. She was alone, and she didn't dare to take a broom to greet the eldest girl and her mother's head, and she was poked by that finger and had a red mark on her head!
The eldest girl and her mother became more and more powerful, and she was about to go inside when she bumped into Song Xiujuan, calling out in her mouth: "I'm looking for my daughter!" Unalterable principle! Don't even try to stop anyone! ”
As soon as she rushed to the entrance of the cloister, she bumped into Mrs. Meng head-on.
I saw the old lady carrying a feather duster and walking over slowly. It's as if I didn't see the big girl and her mother, and I didn't give her one in the right eye.
When the eldest girl and her mother saw Mrs. Meng, she suddenly stopped, and said in a proper manner: "Old lady! You...... Why are you here? ”
Mrs. Meng stiffened her face, and didn't even pay attention to her, only dusting off the dust on the door frame with a feather duster.
The eldest girl and her mother didn't dare to make a mistake, Mrs. Meng is a cow in Xiangfang Village! She often speaks amazingly, and her words will be fulfilled if they are not far from ten. The people in the village often come to the door to ask for a word of awakening, Mrs. Meng is not everyone who comes to speak, she can say a word with face, the disaster can be turned into safety, and the happy event will not change, so the villagers of Xiangfang Village have three points of awe for Mrs. Meng, for fear of offending her and affecting their luck.
Although Mrs. Meng has been widowed for many years, her family property is not thin, she has no son, she cultivates the fields by herself and has no worries about food and clothing, plus the filial piety of the people in the village from time to time, in fact, she is also a rich family in Xiangfang Village. Why is she willing to come to Renhetang to help?
The eldest girl and her mother couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to ask. Mrs. Meng only stood at the door and dusted her west, just on her way out.
"Old lady! Can trouble still let me pass? I'm here to find my daughter, a girl named Chen Yuqing, have you seen her? "The eldest girl and her mother repeatedly straightened her tongue and said civilized words, but it was a little blunt.
Mrs. Meng still didn't seem to see her, and she didn't care, so she didn't dare to say more, she knew that Mrs. Meng was a thousand words, and it was common for her not to open her mouth.
She thought about it, she really couldn't help it, and was ready to find a hole to go out.
Seeing Mrs. Meng turning sideways to dust on the left, the eldest girl lowered her head and rushed to the door on the right side!
Song Xiujuan didn't even have time to hold her, and when she went to see the old lady at a speed that was difficult to judge with the naked eye, she suddenly turned a corner, and the big feather duster poked at the big girl and her mother's face!
The feather duster is self-paste, and the center is a burning stick with the head removed, which is full of chicken feathers and duck feathers, and a lot of hair is rubbed off on the face.
The smell of fishy made her stunned all of a sudden!
Mrs. Meng didn't stop there, she didn't speak, her face remained the same, she only took a feather duster and continued to greet the big girl and her mother's face, she had a great demeanor!
The big girl and her mother were pumped and screamed, but no matter how she dodged, it was as if there were countless feather dusters attacking at the same time, and she couldn't dodge!
"Old lady! Something to say...... If you have something to say! Other...... Don't do it! I say...... Why did it suddenly ...... Just hit someone? ”
Song Xiujuan covered her mouth and smiled, Grandma Meng is usually silent and not enthusiastic about people, but she didn't expect that she was still very bullish at the critical moment! Look at that! Look at that stance! It's all a bit of Master Han's sword-playing style!
Thinking of what she had peeked at, the heroic posture of Young Master Han when he was playing with the sword, Song Xiujuan's face was flushed, her eyes were heartbroken, and she became an inexplicable nymphomaniac.
Mrs. Meng chased after the eldest girl and her mother, and finally stopped, she took a breath and stared at the eldest girl and her mother quietly, her eyes were deep and frightening.
The eldest girl and her mother were already embarrassed, her sideburns were messy, she lost one of her shoes, and she was looking at the shoes that had fallen behind Mrs. Meng with one bare foot, hesitating to pick them up.
She was taught a lesson, but she didn't dare to get angry at Mrs. Meng, she only hung her head and smiled: "I was wrong!" Am I wrong? Don't be angry, the old lady should be careful to flash her waist! As he spoke, he secretly reached for the shoe.
Mrs. Meng suddenly spoke: "Those who have bad intentions will eventually be abandoned." ”
When the eldest girl and her mother heard this, they were stunned and didn't come back for a while.
Did Mrs. Meng say this to her? She's not right? Where is the heart wrong? She is just seeking some deserved benefits for a few families, and she is not as muddy as Chen Popi, how can she be said to be unscrupulous? Abandoned in the end? Abandoned by whom? Was she a girl? Yuqing, that kid can't turn a corner! In this world, only mothers are really good to their daughters! What she plans for her is the future!
Although I couldn't figure it out, this was not said by the cat and dog next to me, but from the mouth of Mrs. Meng, and the eldest girl couldn't help but change her face and became uneasy. (To be continued......)
