Chapter 169: All for the daughter-in-law
Liang nodded, and said with a smile: "That's that, with such a daughter-in-law, we are naturally parents who are willing to be 10,000 likes, that is, Zhong'er, this child......"
"You talk to his father first, listen to your master, he may have the idea to persuade your family to agree to this family!"
"Okay! You wait, I'll call the master to come over and discuss! ”
Liang opened the door and came out, and saw that her husband Zuo Gui had just come out of the kitchen after washing, and hurriedly beckoned: "Master, come here, I have something important to discuss with you!" ”
Zuo Gui paced over, entered the bedroom, and saw the old lady Qu sitting on the edge of the bed, slightly stunned, and then guessed seven or eight points, but did not say anything, and looked at his wife Liang.
Liang said happily: "Marrying the old lady just said that they are willing to give their granddaughter Bai Zhihan to our Zhong'er as a daughter-in-law!" What do you think, sir? ”
Zuo Gui was also happy in his heart, this result was exactly what he hoped for, however, he knew that the matter of saving Mrs. Qu could not be done, and most of this marriage would be ruined, this had to be said, he couldn't take advantage of people in a daze, so he hurriedly said to Mrs. Qu: "This marriage is naturally the best." can form a family with a high-ranking official like Master Qu, and get a daughter-in-law like this, the old man is overjoyed, how can he not agree. It's just that ......, the old lady Qu's illness must be used to restore the yang and save the adversity, and the qi can be solidified, and then he can be treated with heavy medicine, otherwise he will not be saved. And our pharmacy really doesn't have any ginseng, so ......, alas! ”
"This ......," the old lady Qu looked at Liang.
Liang said to Mrs. Qu: "Why don't you go and take care of Mrs. Qu first, and I'll talk to our old lady?" ”
The old lady Qu agreed, and walked out slowly. walked to the door, turned back and said: "As long as this marriage is completed, our old lady will turn the crisis into peace, and Zhi'er will marry and give our old lady a rush." ”
"Okay!" Liang said. She had been trying to suppress her smile, after all, the old lady was still critically ill in bed. Zuo Gui also smiled and nodded in agreement.
After Mrs. Qu went out, Liang went over to close the door, turned around, and finally smiled on her face, and said to Zuo Gui with joy: "Master, this family business is really good?" ”
Zuo Gui also smiled, stroked his beard and nodded frequently: "Naturally, it is no better, but Zhong'er said, there is no way to save the surname of the old lady Qu without ginseng, and the old lady of the Qu family made it clear when she went out just now, we have to save her old man, and turn the crisis into safety, so that we can get married." If you can't save the old lady Qu, this marriage will be hopeless. ”
Liang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, lifted his skirt and knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the concubine has done something wrong, please punish you!" ”
"What are you doing?" Zuo Gui frowned slightly.
"Last ......, in Yamen, that is, the day of the Ni family's lawsuit, I also went, and the old lady of the Ni family called me over, saying that she thanked our Zhong'er for helping his son testify, reducing the guilt, and saving his grandson, and said that Zhong'er is a good child, and should marry the daughter of a well-known and well-informed family, so as to be worthy of our official family and scholarly family. said that if he found a satisfactory daughter-in-law in the future, it would be used as a dowry. I ......, I was confused for a while, so I ...... and accepted the ......"
"You money-glutching bitch!" Zuo Guiyin listened to it, scolded angrily, raised his foot and was about to kick it, seeing that Liang closed his eyes tightly and tilted his head, without the slightest intention of dodging, the kick stopped again, and then stomped his foot and said angrily: "You! You are called a husband, how to meet people in the future! Hum! With his hands behind his back, he circled around the room angrily.
Liang cried and kowtowed: "Master, it's the concubine's fault, the concubine just wants to, Zhong'er is also a big child, and he doesn't marry a wife and have children, which delays the child's lifelong affairs, delays the continuation of the Zuo family's incense, and the concubine can't afford to eat it!" Woowoo"
"Then you can't take other people's things to marry your daughter-in-law!"
"It's not for nothing, sir, Zhong'er helped them and saved his grandson's life, and they thanked Zhong'er!"
"The consultation fee has already been paid! You can't collect any other money! If you take it, you are greedy for money! It's insulting to medical ethics! ”
"It's not the lord who collects it, it's the cheap concubine who collects it, God wants to punish it, so he will punish the cheap concubine alone, woo woo, our family is an official family, a scholarly family, but now the family has no money, how can we marry a good daughter-in-law who is a good daughter-in-law? The concubine also had no plan, so she accepted it cheekily. This is all for the incense of our Zuo family, woo woo woo ......" Liang said the sad place, prostrate on the ground, whimpering and crying.
Zuo Gui was stunned, looking extremely lonely, standing with his head down, for a long time, before he sighed, and old tears rolled down: "It's all ...... It's ...... to be incompetent! ”
When Liang heard this, the old man seemed to have the meaning of loosening, knelt down, hugged Zuo Gui's feet, raised his tearful face and said: "Master, just this once, only this time!" I won't dare to accept it next time the concubine is killed! Ask the lord to be gracious! ”
Zuo Gui stood for a long time, and then sighed again: "The matter has come to this point, I can only don't want this old face again, - who called me useless!" Alas! Get up! ”
"Thank you, sir!" Liang's heart was overjoyed, and he got up on his knees, crying and laughing, wiping his tears.
"What about ginseng?"
"Here, I'll take it out!" Liang was busy kneeling on the ground, pulled out the old painted toilet from the bottom of the bed, the bottom was facing up, he didn't care about finding tools, took out the copper key from his waist, inserted it into the gap of the bottom plate, and pried it a few times, the bottom plate of the sandwich was loosened, and the bottom plate was uncovered, and there was a small bag wrapped in oilcloth paper below.
Liang put the toilet aside, picked up the oilcloth paper bag, hurriedly opened it, revealing the superb old ginseng inside, and handed it to Zuo Gui with tears in his eyes.
Zuo Gui couldn't have imagined that at the bottom of the toilet under the bed he slept on, there was an old ginseng tree worth a thousand gold! I couldn't cry or laugh: "You ......, you actually put this treasure under the toilet?" ”
"I was in a hurry at the time, and I didn't know where to put it, hehe," Liang wiped a handful of tears and smiled embarrassedly: "The old lady of the Qu family said before, as long as you agree to this marriage, this ginseng will be given to them as a dowry, and it will be considered a hiring." ”
Zuo Gui nodded: "Okay!" I took the old ginseng and took a look, and sure enough, it was the best thousand-year-old ginseng of the Ni family, and said: "This ginseng is very valuable, but it is not wrong to be able to exchange it for the granddaughter of the Bai family, a good daughter-in-law who is one in a million miles." - Without further ado, hurry up and save Zhong'er! Then he turned around and went out. Liang hurriedly stopped him: "Master, wait! ”
Zuo Gui turned around: "What's wrong?" ”
"I'm worried about Zhong'er, he doesn't seem to like the white girl very much. I'm afraid he doesn't like it, he said at the last New Year's dinner that he has to be willing to find a daughter-in-law, and we can't do it. ”
Zuo Gui snorted heavily in his nostrils: "Arrangement? The order of parents is justified! What is not all-encompassing! By himself? Find a mountain village aunt as a daughter-in-law, don't ask for my old face! ”
"Sir!" Liang said urgently, "Zhong'er's surname is stubborn, he is a bull temper, and he forced him to marry a white girl, maybe he ......."
"Maybe what? Could it be that he still wants to turn the sky upside down? ”
"Master, why don't you talk to Zhong'er first, let's talk about it, the white girl looks like a fairy, and is literate and hyphenated, knowledgeable, and ingenious, maybe he will be happy to talk about it!"
Zuo Gui stroked his beard and groaned for a moment, and waved his hand: "I can't say it!" Since he doesn't want to, he can't say anything! ”
"Why?"
"You think, once he knows that he will marry him as his wife, he is unwilling, saying that if he doesn't listen, there will be changes, I'm not worried that Zhong'er will make it bad, and I don't want to save Old Lady Qu with all my heart, Zhong'er, this kid is kind-hearted, this kind of thing still can't be done, I'm worried that he is worried, and the medicine below will be unconsciously affected, and Old Lady Qu is already hanging by a thread, and he can't tolerate any mistakes. It's still important to save people, save people, and it's easy to talk about the rest of the things. He's not happy? After marrying the door, it is said that he has been in love for a long time, and he will be happy if he is not happy. When I married you, I didn't see you, I lifted my head on the wedding night and saw it, to be honest, I didn't like your appearance at that time, I didn't bother to take care of you for a few days, and then it wasn't, I saw that you were kind-hearted, kind and virtuous, and then I was happy. ”
"Master......!" Liang listened to her husband talk about the past, although he was an old husband and wife, he was still a little shy, and lowered his head, "The old man has a good heart." ”
"It's good to be loyal to your heart! I'll be happy in the future, okay, that's it, hurry up and save people first! ”
Zuo Gui said, took the ginseng, and pushed the door out.
Zuo Shaoyang had already come back with water, he went out for a turn, met Sang Xiaomei by the well, and learned that there were already tea customers who had come to the tea shop to drink tea, and said a few words to Sang Xiaomei, and his heart was a little more happy, so he came back with water. Just as he was about to pick it again, Zuo Gui came out of the house, stopped him, and handed over the old mountain ginseng: "Zhong'er, this is the old mountain ginseng, your mother gave it, it's the ......, well......, forget it, don't talk about it, let's take it to save people first!" ”
Zuo Gui's father originally wanted to explain the origin of ginseng, but he couldn't say it clearly, and he said his medical ethics in front of him in a high-sounding manner, but his wife secretly accepted other people's financial gifts, and he felt very dishonorable when he said it, so he didn't bother to say it.
When Mrs. Qu saw that Zuo Gui really took out the ginseng, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and trembled and gave a gift: "Thank you Zuo Langzhong!" Thank you, Mrs. Zuo! ”
Mrs. Qu and Aunt Long didn't know what Mrs. Qu had just said when she went in and told Liang and Zuo Langzhong, how did they come out and take out ginseng, and they couldn't help but be stunned. looked at the ginseng, and sighed, this superb ginseng like a fairy man's beard turned out to be the best thousand-year-old ginseng among the five old ginseng that Dr. Ni was going to give him! How did it end up in the hands of my mother?
