Chapter 30 Father-in-law
"Zhenniang, who were you talking to just now?" At this moment, Zhao came out of the house. While combing her hair, she asked Zhenniang, who was burning the coal stove, and she had just listened to the sound of talking in the house, but she didn't hear it too clearly.
"It's my sister-in-law's mother-in-law who came." Zhen Niang replied while fanning the stove, coughing a few more times, and choking on the cigarette.
"Shen is here? When did you come, it's too early, why, didn't even meet and left? Hearing Zhen Niang say that it was Shen, Zhao couldn't help but stop combing his hair and raised his voice.
"Well, when I got up, she came, and just said that there was something at home and left first." Zhenniang replied.
"Hmph, if there's something going on at home, don't even leave without saying hello." Zhao's face was a little unhappy, and then he asked with a gossipy face: "Then do you know what she is doing here?" ”
"I heard that the oil mill where the eldest brother worked was going to change hands, and the two brothers of the Shen family wanted to take over, but the money was not enough. The sister-in-law's mother-in-law came to raise money with the sister-in-law, wanting the eldest brother to partner with the two brothers of the sister-in-law to eat the oil mill. Zhen Niang told her mother what she heard.
"Partnering to take down the oil mill? Don't think about it, the two brothers of the Shen family are bastards, thieves and thieves, your eldest brother's honest temperament, maybe he will be sold in the future and help him count the money, this matter will never be right, I don't agree. Zhao said, now she has the final say at home.
Zhen Niang is happy, and her mother's heart is clear.
"That's what I said, but if my sister-in-law speaks, what will my mother do?" Zhen Niang asked rhetorically, the sister-in-law has been in the Li family all these years, and she has shared weal and woe with the Li family, there is no merit and hard work, and she can't give no face, besides, after all, it is the eldest brother who makes money now, if the sister-in-law really opens her mouth, the mother is not good to refuse.
"Then simply lend money to the Shen family, and the money will be recorded in your sister-in-law's name, and the Shen family will return it to your sister-in-law in the future. Speaking of which, back then, the dowry that our family gave to your sister-in-law was too thin, only to blame your father for losing all his belongings, and the family had no money, this time even if it was a little compensation for your sister-in-law. In this way, it is better than getting involved with the Shen brothers in the future. Zhao thought for a moment and said.
This idea coincides with Zhen Niang.
"Well, my mother will do it." Zhen Niang nodded, the coal stove was already burning, so she took the copper kettle again, scooped it full of water and put it on the coal stove to boil water.
"Hey, who are you looking for?" At this moment, Du's voice sounded outside the courtyard gate, she had just sent Shen away, and when she came back, she saw a person standing at the door of Li's house.
Zhen Niang and Zhao heard the sound outside the door and also walked out together.
"Excuse me, is this Li Zhen's mother's house?" Outside the door was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed like a housekeeper in a large family.
When the three members of the Li family heard her ask Li Zhenniang directly, they couldn't help but suspect for a while, Zhenniang is a young girl at the bottom, what is this person looking for Zhenniang?
"Exactly, I'm Zhenniang's mother-in-law, what are you looking for her?" Zhao hurriedly answered.
"I am the housekeeper in Father-in-law Yan's mansion, and my father-in-law has something to do with Miss Li, and I want to invite Miss Li to go." The housekeeper is quite polite, but he doesn't have the domineering of the steward of the prison mansion as Zhen Niang thought.
However, thinking about the current situation of the father-in-law, even if he is a domineering person, he should know how to restrain now.
"I don't know what my father-in-law is looking for my mother?" As soon as he heard that his father-in-law was looking for Zhenniang, Zhao was a little anxious and asked in front of Zhenniang.
Last night, Zhao listened to Zheng's talk about Father-in-law Yan, and knew that Father-in-law Yan was in a bad situation now, and now Father-in-law Yan came to find Zhenniang again, this is not clear, where did she dare to let Zhenniang go to see Father-in-law Yan.
"Mrs. Li, please rest assured, I want to ask Miss Li about some medicinal ink, originally my father-in-law was going to come to the door in person, but now my father-in-law is inconvenient to go out, so I let the little one come to invite." The butler said.
As soon as she heard this, Zhen Niang couldn't help but think of what Uncle Niang said to her mother last night, Miss Yan seemed to have an unspeakable illness, and came to ask if Yaomo Club had anything to do with it? The heart that was slightly mentioned at this time was put down.
"Mother, since it's about medicine and ink, then I'll go with my uncle." Zhen Niang said to the Zhao family, although the father-in-law is in a bad situation now, but the bottom line has not yet been decided, even if it is set aside, there will still be a few loyal people under him, so even this situation is not negligent.
Besides, Father-in-law Yan is the official who supervises the ink, and it is also his duty to ask about the matter of Yaomo, and the Li family has no reason to refuse.
In addition, Zhen Niang also has careful thoughts, the matter of the father-in-law has not yet been decided, if he can help a little at this time, it can be regarded as a friend in distress, after all, everyone is in the ink making industry, and it can be regarded as leaving some friendship. To give convenience to others, it is impossible to say that it will be convenient for oneself in the future.
"That's it." Zhao only nodded, and it was not easy to refuse, and said to Du Shi: "Go to the workshop and call Da Lang and let Da Lang accompany Zhen Niang." ”
After all, the Zhao family is not worried about Zhen Niang going alone.
"No need, I'll go with Zhenniang." At this moment, the old shopkeeper Li walked out.
"Daddy, your body?" Old Shopkeeper Li can come forward, the Zhao family is naturally happy, and his father-in-law can be regarded as having seen the world, but his father-in-law's health is really not good.
"It's okay, it's not for me to make ink, it's just to accompany Zhenniang on a trip to have a cup of tea." The old shopkeeper Li said, turned his face and said to the housekeeper, "I'll go together, right?" The old man has been in the ink-making industry for more than 20 years, and I can't say that I am more familiar with this matter than Zhenniang. ”
"That's no better, I originally wanted to invite Mr. Li's shopkeeper, but I heard that Mr. Li's shopkeeper made an oath that he would never touch ink again in this life, so it's not good to be strong." The housekeeper said happily, if he could invite Mr. Li, his father-in-law would be even happier.
"Mrs. Li, please rest assured, I came in a carriage, and I can't be tired of the old shopkeeper." After that, the housekeeper said to Zhao again.
"Okay, I'll trouble this adult." Zhao said. Turning his face and telling Zhen Niang: "Zhen Niang, take care of your grandfather on the road." ”
"Hmm." Zhen Niang nodded, and then helped her grandfather to get into the carriage parked on the side, and followed the housekeeper to Yanfu.
Yanfu is by the river, next to Taibai Building.
Hearing that Jinhuadu, the east is connected to 500 beaches, and he joined hands in the first year to rock the oars into Xin'an.
It is said that this is the poem left by Li Bai from Jinhua, visiting Xin'an River, and entering Huizhou, and Taibai Lou came because of Li Bai.
The carriage arrived at Yanfu after a while, and Zhenniang helped her grandfather get out of the carriage and followed the housekeeper into Yanfu.
Father-in-law Yan is about fifty years old, his face is white, and his expression is a little gloomy, too, in this situation, it is impossible not to be gloomy.
"Old shopkeeper Li, Miss Li, I took the liberty to invite you this time, just to find out, a few days ago, Miss Li removed facial sores for Zheng Sanniang, not to hide the two, the little girl has back sores, a few days ago I also went to Li's ink shop to buy medicinal ink, but the effect is not good, therefore, I invited the two of you, just to ask if there is a special medicine for back sores?" After a few people sat down, Father-in-law Yan went straight to the point, staring at the Li family's grandfather and grandson with burning eyes.
Zhen Niang and her grandfather glanced at each other, Li Lao shopkeeper frowned slightly, he had nothing to do, Zhen Niang's improved medicine and ink prescription was already the most haode medicine and ink prescription of the Li family, of course, Zhen Niang knew in her heart that this smelting and treatment of back sores was none other than the Eight Treasures and Five Gall Medicine and Ink.
It's just that the material is too expensive for the Li family, but if it is based on the financial resources of the father-in-law, it is not difficult.
"This, I don't know what Miss Yan's back sore looks like?" Zhen Niang said, she has never seen this, and she does not dare to make judgments.
"Mother Qian, take Miss Li to meet Miss and let her see Miss's illness." That father-in-law said to an old woman waiting on the side.
"Yes." The Qian mother answered, and said to Zhenniang: "Miss Li, please." ”
Zhenniang got up and bowed, and then went out with the Qian mother.
