Chapter 5, the life-saving benefactor came to the door
Zeng Rong glanced at the second brother, this second brother is not the material for reading at all, but he was instilled by his father and brother since he was a child with the idea that he must win glory for the family, and he wanted to get ahead, plus he stayed in the academy for a few years, he didn't learn anything else, he learned a sour and rotten gas, looked down on the peasants, and regarded himself as superior, and the farm work at home was pushed if he could, and he heard that he barely passed the county test, and he couldn't even pass the government test, and finally Xu Jing came forward to help him find a job in the city to copy and write.
In fact, according to Zeng Rong's original intention, she didn't want to care about these bad things in her hometown at all, but Xu Jing was kind-hearted and loved the house and Wu, saying that they were her family after all, and she raised her, and she could pull it if she could within his ability, so that she would not regret it in the future because she wanted to raise her son.
What is hateful is that such a kind person did not die well in the end.
Thinking of this, Zeng Rong's chest flashed with a piercing pain, his eyes darkened, and his body fell softly.
Zeng Hua was close, but unfortunately, she didn't have the strength to hold Zeng Rong, so Zeng Rong quickly collapsed to the ground, Zeng Fuxiang ran in and picked her up and put her on the bed, and was about to let go of it, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Oh no, Ah Rong has a fever, and his body is hot." ”
"Don't pestle yet, go find a doctor." Zeng Youqing spoke.
"How can the family have the money to hire a doctor?" Tian Shuilan clapped her hands and said.
Zeng Chengchun heard this and said to Zeng Youqing with a bitter face: "Third uncle, you borrow me a few sons, and I will return you when Xia collects it." ”
Zeng Youqing was embarrassed when he heard it, saying that it was borrowed, but the money must be far away, not to mention that there are still many months left in the summer harvest, not to mention how the year will be, even if it is a bumper harvest, but this family has no extra food to sell, not to mention, there is also a pregnant woman who is about to give birth and a Gui who owes several months of tuition, this money is lent out, it is strange that it can be returned!
Besides, he is only the third uncle, and Chengchun has two younger brothers, if he wants to borrow it, it should be their turn first.
But people's lives are at stake, Zeng Youqing really couldn't say anything not to borrow, after thinking for a while, he had an idea, "My family is not rich, so let's do it, I can only move twenty eldest sons, it may not be enough, why don't you go to Daxia and Daqiu to borrow a few more?" ”
"It's fine." Zeng Chengchun nodded.
After speaking, Zeng Chengchun ordered his eldest son to go to his second uncle and third uncle, but after a while, Zeng Fuxiang turned around and came back, with a young man behind him.
It turned out that after Ouyang Si returned to the academy to change his clothes, he found that his only cotton robe was still on Zeng Rong's body, thinking of Zeng Rong's pulse, he was worried that this little girl might not be able to wake up so quickly, even if she sobered up, she would definitely have a serious illness, after all, she had been soaked in cold water for so long, if she didn't adjust in time, it might affect her future fertility.
So, he took the opportunity to retrieve the cotton robe and came to the door.
"Isn't this Mr. Ouyang?" Zeng Chengchun recognized the other party.
"Sir, are you coming for me?" Zeng Guixiang took a few steps forward and asked.
"Today is the Ah Rong he saved." Zeng Youqing spoke for Ouyang Si.
"Uncle Zeng, the younger generation knows a little bit of medical science, and I came to see the sister of the Zeng family." Ouyang Si arched his hand to everyone.
Before others could think much about it, Wang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly squeezed to Ouyang Si's side, and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you, what a good student, it's good to be able to teach and practice medicine at the same time." ”
Ouyang Si obviously didn't experience this for the first time, so he just smiled faintly, didn't answer Wang's words, but let Zeng Guixiang lead him into Zeng Rong's house.
As soon as he entered the door, Ouyang Si first saw that a six- or seven-year-old girl was sitting on the bed sobbing quietly, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly took a few steps forward and hugged the little girl down, and then sat down by herself, reaching out and taking Zeng Rong's wrist to check the pulse.
After a while, he changed his other hand, during this period, the little girl next to him kept looking at him without blinking, Ouyang Si thought she was worried about the person on the bed, and said to the little girl after putting down that hand: "Don't worry, your eldest sister will not worry about her life." ”
Zeng Hua didn't understand this too much, blinked his eyes, and Zeng Guixiang on the side pulled her away in disgust, "Mr. said that Ah Rong will not die." ”
Ouyang Si didn't blame Zeng Guixiang, picked up his cotton robe, got up and said to Zeng Chengchun: "The younger sister of the Zeng family has a cold breath in her body, and she needs to take a few pairs of medicine to recuperate, so let's do it, I see that your family has no pen and ink, and it is inconvenient to prescribe prescriptions, so I will go to the town to help you get the medicine back." ”
"How can this make you, you saved my sister's life, how can you spend money to grab medicine, and ask Mr. to write out the prescription, I'll go." Zeng Guixiang heard the meaning of Mr. 's words.
"Hey, what do you little kid know, let's let this little offspring go, I'm tired of you, little offspring." Wang squeezed over again.
Tian Shuilan on the side will also come back to her senses, if Zeng Rong can marry this scholar, it would be good, at least her son's tuition will be waived in the future.
But then I thought about it, this person borrowed to live in Qingshan Temple because he didn't have the money to take the exam, and later the abbot of Qingshan Temple came forward to find the patriarch of Zengjia Village and let him enter the academy to be a gentleman.
No, Zeng Rong can't marry him, it's really not good, it's better to find a big family and sell it to be a maid and concubine.
Tian Shuilan, who had made up her mind, also squeezed over, "Or what our Agui said is right, how can we let Mr. break the bank?" I also asked my husband to prescribe the medicine, and we went to get the medicine ourselves. ”
"Aunt Zeng, don't worry, I'll go and get the medicine back first, how much is it, I'll come back to you to repay the bill." Ouyang Si didn't want to stalemate with these people, so he put on his cotton robe and walked out.
Zeng Chengchun, who had not spoken for half a day, followed Ouyang Si to the door, but he also knew how to clasp his fists and salute, "Thank you, sir, Mr. saved our family Ah Rong, that is, saved our family, but unfortunately, we can't even get a decent thank you gift, it's really ashamed of Mr." ”
"Uncle Zeng's family is too worried, people's lives are at stake, no matter who encounters it, they will reach out, and today there are two masters in the temple who have helped me." Ouyang Si didn't want to take all the credit on himself.
Besides, he only has a pity for Zeng Rong, at present, for him, the first priority is this year's college exam, and nothing else is within his consideration.
