Chapter 38 Again to the Shen family
Ignoring the worried faces of the Shen family and his wife, Luo Qinghe took two steps forward and said loudly: "Recently, with the donations of the enthusiastic people, we have collected all the money owed to the Shen family, and even a lot more. So I plan to pay off the Shen family's debts here, and the extra 100 silver, the little woman borrowed flowers and offered Buddha to Jia'en Temple Hongren Master to build the stone bridge of the river next to Yantang Mountain, and the people of the province will take a long detour! ”
"What?! Will the slate bridge finally be repaired?! ”
As soon as Luo Qinghe's words fell, the pilgrims exploded again, cheering one after another.
The ordinary people of Fengyuan County are not less troubled by the river blocked in the middle, and the government has not asked for many years, and the big families are not willing to contribute, but now this girl in a shabby dress has such a good deed, it is really surprising!
Master Hongren was also extremely moved when he heard this, only Shen Ruitian and Mrs. Shen were red-faced, and they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.
But Luo Qinghe seemed to do it on purpose, and he took out the account book in front of the public, and clearly read out who donated how much silver one by one, and finally put a whole box of broken silver donated by the people in front of the Shen family and his wife.
Although eight hundred taels of silver tickets and silver ingots are not uncommon, this family donated some of them, and the hard-earned money mixed with sweat and oil that they slowly saved was like a slap in the face of Shen Ruitian and Mrs. Shen.
Just after counting the money and paying off the debt, Luo Qinghe put the gift that Shen Fu had left in the Shen family last time in front of Mrs. Shen and said, "This is what Shen Fu, the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion brought when he came to my house last time, and I will return it to you today." ”
The husband and wife of the Shen family were even more ashamed when they heard this, and the reputation they had accumulated over the past few days had been wiped out again, so they could only hide their faces and let their subordinates carry things and slip away.
But as soon as they turned around, Luo Qinghe said loudly again: "I still have to bother the two of you to thank Young Master Shen Li for me, that day Young Master Shen was kind enough to pay off my debts in the court, which saved me from a whip!" Young Master Shen Li's kindness, I remember it in my heart! ”
Where is this sincere gratitude, it is clearly to explain to everyone, although it is the two of them who took the silver, it is Shen Li Gongzi who borrows the silver to do good deeds.
Shen Ruitian and Mrs. Shen were even more embarrassed, and they didn't even dare to respond to Luo Qinghe's words, and slipped out quickly with oil on the soles of their feet.
Behind him, I could only hear the cheers of the pilgrims for building the bridge with silver.
"Mrs. Jiang gave forty taels, a total of ninety-eight taels of silver!"
"Boss Lu gave thirty-five taels, a total of one hundred and thirty-three taels of silver!"
"The rest, our Xiangji Temple will make up for the silver saved in the merit box in recent days, and the stone slab bridge will definitely be built strong!" Master Yu Yi also took advantage of this atmosphere to announce loudly.
The matter of the slate bridge finally came to an eyebrow, and the pilgrims in the courtyard applauded, and some of them were even more enthusiastic to put all the silver on their bodies into Luo Qinghe's cloth bag containing silver, saying that they would also contribute to the repair of the bridge.
And many of the remaining people whose families are not very well-off are also gearing up to help carry sandbags and carry stones, and they will work together to build the stone bridge.
"We have to work hard, Miss Qinghe's family is generous, we have to be worthy of a piece of people's hearts!"
"Yes, we're doing good! But the Shen family is really, if you don't want such a good girl, I don't believe that their family can still find a daughter-in-law who is better than Miss Luo! ”
"Actually, everyone else is wrong about this, but the fault is that Young Master Shen Li's parents are too poor and love rich, and they just want to climb the high branches!"
"Alas, but those two people are really unkind, how can they splash dirty water on other girls in order to climb high branches!"
The Shen family and his wife, who had just gone out, hid in the carriage, and couldn't stop the gossip outside from piercing their hearts, and the two of them were silent for a while, only feeling so ashamed that they never dared to go out again.
The carriage finally drove to the gate of the Shen Mansion, and the Shen family and the couple hurriedly covered their faces and walked into the house, but they ran towards Mrs. Shen's house with a tacit understanding, Mrs. Shen didn't care whether Mrs. Shen was awake or not, and went straight to the ground and began to cry.
"Daddy! You can judge it! Luo Qinghe's cheap girl is simply too deceitful! ”
Shen Ruitian also echoed sympathetically on the side when he heard this: "Isn't it, if she pays back the money, she will pay it back, and she has to take out the account book in public and read it clearly!" Isn't that deliberately embarrassing us! ”
Looking at the silver and very familiar gifts brought in by the little guy behind him, Shen Weizhong also estimated seven or eight points, and sneered: "Are you embarrassed to come here to complain?" You said that the divorce was withdrawn, and the person who said that he did not want to borrow money was repaid, what do you want to do now? Do you have to ask Luo Qinghe to nod and let you beat and scold? Why? At that time, when you ruined Miss Luo's reputation in public, how could you not be afraid of embarrassing others! ”
Shen Li was ruthless in every word, and said that his parents had no rebuttal position.
I didn't expect her son to be so sharp, and Mrs. Shen was also a little flustered, muttering, "...... you, Li'er"
"Stop quibbling, I'm tired of hearing it! How can you be so filthy and selfish as parents? Shen Li shook his head, and said with sadness in his tone: "I can see it, you just care about face and family business, and you don't care about grandpa's life or death at all!" ”
Looking at Mrs. Shen, who was sick and emaciated on the bed, Shen Ruitian, who wanted to turn his face, suddenly choked up, and felt ashamed again.
"Li'er is right, how can you not care about the old man's body at all, and come here to splash and roll!" Shen Ruitian glanced at Mrs. Shen, pushed the responsibility on her, and dragged her away before Mrs. Shen could refute it.
After a while, the subordinate at the door came in a panic and said, "Luo Qinghe is here." ”
"What?!" Shen Ruitian's face turned pale suddenly, and the face that he had just lost outside turned into resentment, and he said defensively: "Even if this matter is not authentic to our Shen family, it is not as aggressive as her!" ”
Shen Ruitian said, gritting his teeth and going to Luo Qinghe to explain.
"I'll go with you!" Seeing that Shen Ruitian was a little angry, this Mrs. Shen suddenly had strength, and she followed behind her husband.
She was originally jealous because Shen Li was dedicated to Luo Qinghe, and Luo Qinghe was in the limelight in front of everyone, and the fire of revenge in Mrs. Shen's heart also ignited.
Dan was when the husband and wife were in their own house, gritting their teeth and trying to settle accounts with Luo Qinghe, but suddenly saw Luo Qinghe holding an old man with a gray beard and ordinary clothes walking slowly towards Mrs. Shen's courtyard, and Luo Qinghe also whispered a few words to the old man from time to time.
It's really the opposite, any messy people dare to bring it to our house! The husband and wife of the Shen family glanced at each other, and saw that Luo Qinghe directly ignored him, and immediately shouted to his subordinates to drive Luo Qinghe and the old man out.
But before the two of them could speak, Shen Ruitian suddenly saw the middle-aged man behind the old man, and immediately gasped in fright, and said cautiously: "Imperial Doctor Jiang, why are you ......?"
This middle-aged man is a well-known miracle doctor, who has been practicing medicine for generations in his family, and the grandfather of Imperial Physician Jiang is the envoy of the former Chaotai Hospital, the head of the imperial doctor!
Because of this Dr. Jiang's free and easy nature, the new emperor couldn't bear to be persecuted, so he allowed Dr. Jiang to practice medicine freely on weekdays, and then go back to work when there was a major event in the palace.
But how could such a character appear in the Shen Mansion now?! Shen Ruitian was suddenly full of panic, and respectfully wanted to greet Imperial Doctor Jiang, but he didn't expect Imperial Doctor Jiang to politely excuse himself and say, "How dare I be rude in front of my grandfather!" ”
Father... Grandfather?! Shen Ruitian's jaw dropped again when he heard this, could it be that this ordinary old man was the head of the imperial doctors of the year, the old imperial doctor Jiang?!
Seeing their stunned looks, Imperial Doctor Jiang joked: "This kind of reaction, do you think that we have disturbed the cleanliness of the house?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Imperial Doctor Jiang said with a smile, it's a great honor for you to come to the cold house!"
Although he didn't know where Shen Ruitian came from, he only felt that his vanity had swelled to the extreme at the moment: Old Imperial Doctor Jiang was the head of the imperial doctors of the previous dynasty, and this Imperial Doctor Jiang was extremely worthy of the emperor's sacred heart.
Imperial Doctor Jiang nodded, and explained: "Originally, Grandpa had already gone into hiding, but he couldn't bear Miss Luo's entrustment, so Grandpa came here today to consult with Mrs. Shen. ”
Ask someone to entrust it? When did Luo Qinghe have such a great ability?
However, for this reason, Imperial Doctor Jiang naturally wouldn't talk to outsiders, so he just said lightly: "It just so happens that you are here, now hurry up and take out the incense and the like in Mrs. Shen's room to ventilate it well, and then let all the maids and maids go to wait outside the hospital, my grandfather can't be disturbed when he asks for a doctor!" ”
"Understood, understood!" As soon as Shen Ruitian heard that he dared to stand up, he hurriedly nodded and responded, and ran to Mrs. Shen's courtyard to open up his head.
Seeing that his parents were in a hurry, and he didn't know how to be good, Shen Li rubbed his parents impatiently and said: "That's it, I'll arrange the things in Grandpa's hospital, you two hurry up and prepare generous gifts for the two imperial doctors, and thank others after seeing the doctor!" ”
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Shen Ruitian suddenly realized, patted his head and hurriedly said to Mrs. Shen: "You go to the warehouse now to choose some of the most valuable items and bring them, don't be lazy." ”
But when she heard "the most valuable", Mrs. Shen felt a little painful, and muttered: "Isn't it just a Langzhong, what do you do for such a good thing!" ”
"You're stupid!" Shen Ruitian frowned and scolded: "People are one of the four grades of the former dynasty, and the other is the sixth rank imperial doctor of the current dynasty, although the old imperial doctor Jiang is from the previous dynasty, but people are dedicated to treating diseases and saving people at any time, so the saint still respects the old man very much!" How can a person from such a family not take the opportunity to have a good time! ”
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen suddenly realized that the Lin Zhuan envoy they wanted to climb up was just a seventh-grade, and they had to nod their heads and bow respectfully in front of this fourth-grade sixth-grade! If the Jiang family can climb this time, then the Shen family's status in Fengyuan County will naturally rise...
After thinking about it, Mrs. Shen was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly took her skirt and ran to the warehouse to carefully pick out the gifts, full of the dream of the Shen family flying on the branches.
Old Imperial Doctor Jiang, who was walking slowly behind, slipped into the courtyard of Mrs. Shen.
And Shen Li, who saw Luo Qinghe again after many days, suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was full of emotion, and he hesitated for a long time and didn't know what to say.
