Zuo Gui looked at the money bag in Liang's hand, and didn't say anything, because he could guess from the situation of the money bag that the money in the bag was definitely not enough to pay all the rent.

Fennel heard the voice and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen: "Mother is back?" - Let me see! She weighed the money bag on the table and blinked: "It's almost two or three thousand Wen!" ”

"Two thousand seven hundred texts!" Liang Shi said happily, "I went to several pawnshops and said that I would die, but the highest was 2,500 Wen." As a result, on the way, I met the shopkeeper Yu who opened a jade shop next to the yamen, and after he saw my bracelet, he bid 2,700 yuan! Hehe, do you say it's a coincidence? ”

Two thousand seven hundred wen is 13,500 yuan, which was not low in value in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, but it is still far from the rent of 9,000 wen, but after paying these, it should be able to pay the rent for a while. The whole family rejoiced.

Fennel said: "Otherwise, let's pay the rent first, as long as the third aunt loosens her mouth and lets us defer the payment for a while, the New Year will be happy." ”

Liang said: "This is an idea, but I am thinking, we can't pay all the money, we have to save some money for the New Year." It's not enough to hand it all over anyway. What do you say, sir? ”

Zuo Gui smiled and said, "Well, you give Sanniang 2,600 wen to pay the rent, and the remaining 100 wen for the New Year." ”

Liang Shi said happily: "Okay. Master, I still think, our quilt is too thin, Zhong'er was sick with a cold last night, take our quilt to him, you don't have to cover it, this is not a way, so, I want to buy another quilt for Zhong'er, so that he can spend the winter warmly, do you say okay? ”

Zuo Gui nodded: "Okay, a bed of kudzu quilt will only cost ten yuan." I think so. You can spend the rest of the money. ”

"Okay!"

Liang took out a bunch of money from the money bag and stuffed it into his arms, picked up the money bag and walked out. Zuo Shaoyang said: "Mother, it's dark outside, I'll accompany you." Liang nodded happily. Zuo Shaoyang took the money bag and followed Liang out of the door.

Came to Zhao Sanniang's house, knocked on the door, a little boy with a tiger head ran out to open the door, asked clearly, and ran in to call someone, and soon Zhao Sanniang came out and welcomed them in.

This Zhao Sanniang's house is a small courtyard with two entrances, and the furnishings in the house are not luxurious, and it seems that she is very frugal. Let him sit down in the living room, Liang put the money bag on the table: "Today, a patient came to see the disease, it was a mother, the fetus was stillborn for a long time, the stillbirth just couldn't get down, and his mother was about to die, went to Huimin Hall, Dr. Ni was not cured, crying and crying and walking home, passing by our Guizhi Hall, coming in for treatment, our lord saw that they were pitiful, wrote a prescription and used it, hehe, he actually beat the stillbirth!" Strange, you say? ”

"Really?" Zhao Sanniang's eyes widened, "Zuo Langzhong still has this ability?" ”

"Not really!" Liang's face was happy, "The family is so grateful as if something, kowtow and thank you, and gave a bracelet as a medical fee, and took the bracelet as 2,600 wen." Our lord said, leave nothing, pay the rent to Sanniang, it's not easy to think about you, all these years, you have been taking care of us, if you were someone else, you would have kicked our family out. Now that I have some money in hand, no matter how tight and hard it is, I have to pay this rent first! So, I'll send you the money, you pay a little bit, two thousand six hundred wen, and pay all the rent without a penny! Huh"

Zhao Sanniang looked at the money bag, her eyes suddenly lit up, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull the money bag over, pulled it open, took out a hanging of money, counted it, and sure enough, it was two thousand six hundred wen, not a penny. Not only smiled on his face: "I will say that you are blessed, even if you encounter a tribulation, you will also meet noble people to help, you see, Zuo Langzhong has a lot of ability, saved a person's life, this is how much virtue is accumulated, in the future, your blessing will definitely be indispensable!" Hehe! ”

"yes!" Liang took advantage of Zhao Sanniang's happiness, leaned over his face, and smiled more happily, "Go on like this, see a few more patients, Sanniang, aren't you all the rent here, hehe, but Sanniang, you see, this is about to be Chinese New Year's Eve, just these two days of work, even if our master has three heads and six arms, it is not easy to do, besides, we moved away, Sanniang, you can't rent out this house for a while, right?" It's empty, it's empty, so let's rent it first, and we'll be able to make up the rent for you......"

Zhao Sanniang got a rent, and she was happy, but after listening to Liang's words, her face was faint, and she glanced at Zuo Shaoyang next to her: "Well, Zuo Langzhong is a capable person, I know, yesterday I was given a doctor, and I was prescribed a prescription, after I ate it, this stomach feels much better today, I said at the time, Zuo Lang's Chinese medicine skills are still very good, but no one appreciates it, but every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" Also, don't say that I have no one to rent this house, Lao Li Tou of Sweet Zao Lane has told me a long time ago, he also wants to rent my house to open an oil and salt shop, and he can prepay a year's rent at a time, I think he is too dirty to open an oil and salt shop, and it is also a good thing for you to open a pharmacy and medical hall, so I have not promised him. ”

Liang said with a smile: "That's that, you are the most kind-hearted person, who doesn't know this neighbor." ”

"That's it!" Zhao Sanniang pouted unceremoniously, thinking that the first rent would be paid in such a force before, it seemed that he still couldn't be soft-hearted, he had to force hard, so he said with a straight face: "Zuo's family, you don't need to say more, I have already said this, pay the rent in the Chinese New Year's Eve, I can pay it, the shop is still rented to you, I can't pay it, the medicinal herbs stay, leave, if you say it, you let me take it back, it's not easy to do." ”

Liang Shi still loosened when he heard her words, and hurriedly laughed and said good things, and at the end, Zhao Sanniang slapped her thigh and said: "In this way, this cold day is difficult for you to come, all ask for the door, don't give you a little grace can't be said, but the rule of debt is not over the year, so good, before noon in the Chinese New Year's Eve, if you can make up most of the rent owed to me, the remaining small half of the rent, I can delay until the fifteenth day of the first month to collect again, fifteen is not over the year, and the collection in the year is barely passable." That's all right, right? ”

Zuo Shaoyang asked: "How much is most of the rent?" ”

Zhao Sanniang pinched her fingers and calculated: "Even if six thousand dollars is good, you have already paid two thousand five hundred yuan, and there is still a difference of three thousand five hundred yuan." I came to collect it at noon on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, received it, and I collected the rest on the fifteenth day of the first month. We can talk ugly things in our heads, and we can't hand them over when the time comes, so we leave by ourselves, don't tear our faces, everyone is not good-looking! If you pay part of the money, I will also find someone to evaluate the medicinal herbs, if it is not enough, I will continue to pay back the money owed, and I will find someone to continue to collect the debt. But if it's too much, I will also return it to you, my Sanniang is not a person who takes advantage of others, but she is not a good talker! ”

The Liang family begged for more leniency, but Zhao Sanniang just kept a straight face and refused to allow it, so she had no choice but to quit.

Standing in the cold wind at the door, the snowflakes began to fall again, one by one, flickering bright and dark. Zuo Shaoyang was not in the mood to appreciate the snow scene at the moment, and both of them looked very depressed. Liang smiled reluctantly and said, "Zhong'er, let's go, let's go buy quilts." ”

"Mother! If you don't buy it, then Zhao Sanniang has already said it to death, and this hundred wen is also ready to pay the rent when the time comes, don't be really short of one hundred wen at that time, but there is no place to raise it. ”

"It's not a little bit of money!" Liang barely maintained a smile in the cold wind, "You are weak, it is too simple to cover a quilt, don't get sick again, I can't give you our quilt tonight, your father is old, and if he freezes for another night, I'm afraid he will get sick." He's going to fall, and our family is all over!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang was very embarrassed: "I didn't know that you gave me the quilt you covered yourself last night, I thought it was redundant, I knew that I would never want it." Mother, don't worry, my body is not so delicate, last night I slipped into the back alley and walked in the snow, frozen, came back and took off my clothes to sleep, this is the wind cold, I don't go out tonight, sleep in clothes, and definitely won't catch a cold again. ”
