Chapter 51: I owe you a life
"How's the people?"
Li Fu, a famous doctor in Qiantang, walked out of the inner hall, and Zhu Rui, who was waiting outside, immediately greeted him, and his expression could not hide his nervousness. Li Fu bowed and saluted, and said: "Lang Jun is not in a hurry, the girl is fine, but she is deficient in qi and blood, and her mind is confused, resulting in soreness and weakness." I prescribe a few pairs of medicines, take them on time, and then recuperate for a few months before recovery. ”
"Hard work, sir!"
Zhu Rui thanked him, didn't wait for the send-off, and walked in quickly to visit Zhu Lingbo. Gu Yun instructed Bao Xi to pay for the consultation and give him a lot of rewards, and then gave him a gift out of the house, and said to Xu You, who was sitting on the side: "Fortunately, he is safe!" ”
"That thief uses Miss Zhu as a talisman, and it won't hurt anyone when she is idle, but it seems that she has been fed a kind of *, so it's best to find a trustworthy doctor to take a look at it."
Gu Yun nodded and said, "Third Uncle Zhu and Fourth Uncle Zhu are bringing people here, Fourth Uncle Zhu is known as Jiangzuo Zhuge , with him, everything will be solved." ”
Xu You was a little weak-hearted, it was best not to meet Zhu Zhi, stood up, and said, "Then I'll go first, the person has been delivered, and the task is complete." ”
"Don't, you are the hero who saved Ling Bo, Ziyu must thank you in person." Gu Yun held Xu You's hand, extremely affectionate, as if he had done it by himself to show his face like this. Friends have reached this point, because they are happy and happy, and because they are sad, they can be regarded as best friends who have poured out their hearts and lungs.
"I just happened to meet in time, and I can't talk about credit. Their brother and sister reunited and talked about their separation, I am an outsider, and it is not appropriate to stay for a long time. ”
"It's not appropriate or inappropriate, if I let you go like this, Ziyu will wait for the next time, blame me for neglecting you, what if you want to turn your face with me? Moreover, how to rescue Ling Bo and how to exterminate the thieves still need to be explained to the Zhu family in person. ”
"Okay!" Xu You couldn't refuse, so he had to sit and wait, chatted with Gu Yun, and said, "I want to open a paper mill, what does Feiqing think?" ”
"Paper mill?"
Gu Yun couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and said, "Why are you doing that?" I also want to find a Confucian in Sanwu for a while, and I recommend you to visit the beginner, study hard for two years, boil up some qualifications and reputation, and then promote filial piety and honesty to enter the office. Although it is difficult for a while, it is not willing to fall. Fucking this cheap business not only humiliates the family style, but also tires and indulges in obscenity, which has all kinds of harm but no benefit. ”
Xu You did not refute or argue, and drank tea calmly with a cup. Gu Yun looked strange, slapped his forehead violently, and said, "Is it a lack of use?" He then blamed himself: "It was my negligence!" You moved from Yixing to Qiantang and bought a house, even if you have a little money in your hand, you can use it almost enough. Well, don't start a paper mill, and give you half of my money every month......"
"No need, I appreciate Feiqing's kindness, but Jingyuan and everyone can't all rely on your help to get by." Xu You refused with a smile and said, "Papermaking is different from other merchants, this is a graceful thing." For example, when Fei Qing paints, he suffers from the lack of a large piece of good paper, so he can only use the old silk, which greatly affects the texture and artistic conception of the painting, and it is also very inconvenient to preserve. When the paper mill is operational, I can provide Feiqing with good paper suitable for painting, and you can't put it down! ”
"This ......" Gu Yun was indeed a little tempted, and said, "Can you really make such a paper?" ”
Xu You nodded and said, "Since the advent of Caihou paper, the development of papermaking has been too slow for hundreds of years. I have some ideas, not necessarily right, but try to improve, I can always make much better paper than now, and can be mass-produced, reduce the selling price, so that more people can buy paper, buy books. ”
Gu Yun has no concept of how important the universal literacy rate is to a nation, and he does not think that everyone in the world should be literate, read and reasonable, which is a limitation of the times, which is understandable and not to blame.
Xu You was reborn in this era, and there are many things he wants to do, and papermaking is only the first and most important step!
Seeing that he couldn't convince Xu You, and was moved by the high-quality painting paper he depicted, Gu Yun temporarily gave up saving the stumbling boy, and said: "Speaking of these strange tricks, the recipe you left for Lianhua last time, I found someone to make it, and sure enough, the mouth cleaning is very suitable, better than clotting salt." What exactly do you read in Yixing? Broadly involved, omniscient, almost in the younger generation do not think of second people. ”
Xu You said that the collection of books at home is too miscellaneous, and what he reads and learns is relatively miscellaneous, and the anti-justice revival is now in ruins, and there is no evidence to be found for nonsense. At this moment, Zhu Rui came out of the inner hall, his expression was not as nervous as at the beginning, obviously Zhu Lingbo's physical condition was not too bad. He walked up to Xu You, his eyes were full of sincere gratitude, his hands were folded and stretched out, higher than his chest, to show his salute, and then he fell to the ground and said in a deep voice: "I, Zhu Rui, owe you a life!"
"It's serious!"
Xu You turned sideways, expressing that he didn't dare to bear it, and said: "I just happened to be at the meeting, and the road was uneven, but I didn't expect that it happened to be the girl of the Zhu family who was saved." In the final analysis, it is still Zhu Girl Jiren who has her own natural appearance, even if she doesn't have me, she will escape from the hands of thieves safely. ”
"Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that Shichiro rescued Ling Bo from the tiger's mouth." Zhu Rui patted Xu You on the shoulder and laughed: "In the past, everyone said that your martial arts were the first among your peers, but I was not convinced, if it weren't for the constraints at home, I am afraid that I would have come to Yixing to fight with you earlier." Now I owe you a life, I can't fight, I just hope that there will be a chance in the future, you and I will have a discussion, point to the end, how about it? ”
Zhu Rui is known as a martial idiot, and his cultivation is quite famous in Wu County, but he cannot be compared with Xu You, a ruthless character whose reputation moves the whole country. Xu You smiled bitterly: "I was injured and has not healed so far, so I am not Zhu Langjun's opponent." ”
"Don't worry, when you recover from your injuries, let's fight again."
While talking, Zhu Li and Zhu Zhi also arrived at the Qiantang County Ya, Gu Yun and they went out, but there was no time to greet them, Zhu Li was busy going to see his daughter, leaving Zhu Zhi and Xu You to talk.
Zhu Zhi is thin and small, less than Zhu Rui's shoulders, and his appearance is very different from Zhu Li, who has a black face and long beard, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and his eyebrows are downturned, neither majestic nor solemn, but a little sadistic, but a pair of eyes are as calm as the sea, which makes people dare not underestimate them.
"Qilang's kindness to help, the Zhu family is unforgettable!" Zhu Zhi smiled, his words were close, the Zhu family of Wujun and the Xu family of Yixing are both wealthy families based on today's martial arts, and the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad, and it is inevitable that there will be a little sympathy.
Xu Youji visited him and said, "Thank you, Zi Yulangjun has already said a lot just now, and he doesn't dare to take credit, it's really a fluke." If Zhu Shilang was more polite, the kid would be panicked and ashamed. ”
"A humble gentleman, as it should be!"
Zhu Zhi seemed to appreciate Xu You very much, praised a few words, and said, "I don't know how Qilang met the thief who robbed Ling Bo?" What is the man's appearance and skills, do you know his origin? Qilang, don't blame me for being anxious, it's been delayed for so long, I can't find a clue about this person, the Zhu family has lost face, and I can't sleep with anxiety. ”
"Zhu Shilang came from afar, presumably physically and mentally exhausted, so I'll make a long story short, yesterday I went to the suburbs to check the paper mill, and on the way back, I passed a stone bridge......"
Zhu Zhi served as a free cavalry squire in the middle of the court and was an advisor to the emperor. However, because of his unpleasant appearance, and his sarcastic admonitions, he was not a gentleman, so he hung the position of a waiter and studied and practiced calligraphy in Fuchun's hometown, and rarely asked about court affairs.
"I see!"
After listening to Xu You's words, Zhu Zhi pondered for a moment, combed a few questions in his heart, and said: "That thief is extremely careful, good at hiding his whereabouts, and took me around the mountains and rivers countless times. I don't know where I hid in Qiantang before, why I suddenly fled north of the city, and I boldly hired an ox cart, which is unbelievable......"
Xu You shook his head, his face was full of doubts, and said, "I don't know about this, when Miss Zhu wakes up, the waiter can ask her, and there should be an answer!" ”
"That's right!" Zhu Zhi smiled and said, "If Qilang is fine, it is better to rest here for a while, and wait for my third brother to come out, so that I can thank you in person." ”
Where is Xu You still willing to stay, he left under the pretext of having something to do, and Gu Yun and Zhu Rui sent him out of the house. Zhu Rui turned around first, and Gu Yun gave him another ride, saying, "You are also tired, go back and rest first, I estimate that Zhu Sanbo will come to visit tomorrow." ”
This is the proper meaning of the question, Xu You knew that he couldn't shirk it, and said: "Distinguished guests come to the door, sweep the bed and wait, but the furnishings are shabby, don't treat others slowly!" ”
Gu Yun blinked and said in a low voice: "Fourth Uncle Zhu likes to listen to music the most, let your family prepare for it, sing a few good Western songs, and ensure that the guests and hosts are happy." ”
Xu You smiled slightly and said, "Frost is not my singer, she will sing if she wants to, if she doesn't sing, I won't move." ”
Gu Yun pointed at Xu You and said with a smile: "Just pity you for the fragrance and cherish the jade!" But it's okay like this, lest Fourth Uncle Zhu be moved and ask you for frost, but it will become mine! ”
At this moment, it was almost noon, Zhu Li learned that his beloved daughter was fine, and finally let go of his worries, walked out of the inner hall, looked left and right, and said, "What about Xu Youren...... Fourth brother, fourth brother, what do you think? So fascinating! ”
"Oh......, third brother, Ling Bo's body is fine, right?"
"It's no big deal, I've just woken up, and my blood is a little worse, but I can already speak!" Zhu Li touched his long hair and said, "I didn't hear you a few times just now, what do you think?" ”
"I'm thinking about Xu Qilang's words......"
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhu Li frowned and said, "He is strong in martial arts, defeating the thief and rescuing Ling Bo shouldn't be a big deal......
"The injuries he sustained in the Yixing Revolution have not healed yet, and he didn't make a move this time!"
"Huh? Didn't you say that the thief was very difficult to deal with, if Xu You didn't make a move, how could Ling Bo be rescued intact? ”
"I'm curious too! But this is not important, the important thing is that we must find the clues of the thief, find his origin and the instigator behind the scenes, in order to uproot and eliminate this organization that preys on the beloved! ”
Zhu Zhi stood up, just as Zhu Rui came back from outside, and said, "Ziyu, you accompany me to ask Ling Bo about his experience during this period of time, and then go outside the city!" ”
