Chapter 46 Eighteen Taels of Silver
This time, Mrs. County Ling stayed for dinner, Fang Hanniang smiled bitterly and excused herself, and Mrs. County Ling glared and twisted Fang Hanniang's face: "I refuse to go back, my county lady is really faceless...... Oops, this feels so tender. As he spoke, he couldn't help but touch a few more handfuls.
Fang Hanniang knew that Mrs. County Ling was joking, and smiled bitterly: "It's really my little aunt who is sick and lives in the hospital, so I thought about it or take a look at Fang at ease." β
The old Fang Tou came to the county this time, and he had to go to the seeds of the cultivation, and finally went to pick up the mother and daughter of the Fang Tian family. Fang Hanniang calculated the time, and she could almost catch up and take a look.
Anyway, Fang Xiangyu is now a pregnant woman, and because of the instability of the fetus caused by her veil, Fang Hanniang has already regretted that she didn't ask Wang Xinghua to return to the veil that day.
Even if she dislikes that it's all snot, it's good to come back and burn it. This kind of personally embroidered thing, leaving it in the hands of outsiders is a disaster - this truth, Fang Hanniang has a very good understanding now.
When Mrs. County Ling heard that someone in the family was sick, although she was a little regretful, she also happily released her, but she repeatedly told Fang Hanniang to bring her younger brothers and sisters over to play with her next time.
Fang Hanniang thought about it, agreed, and made an appointment with Mrs. County Ling that she would bring her younger brothers and sisters to visit when she delivered the goods next time.
Mrs. County Ling was very satisfied, and sent someone to send a carriage to send Fang Hanniang to the hospital where her little aunt was staying.
When Fang Hanniang got out of the car, she just stepped on the stool with one leg and heard a cheerful voice calling her name: "Hanniang!" What a coincidence! β
Fang Hanniang looked up and saw that the one standing at the door of the medical hall, the one who waved at her happily, was the young owner of the porcelain shop she knew when she bought the mold of plum blossom soap, Chen Lifang.
Fang Hanniang also smiled and said hello.
Chen Lifang had already jumped over three or two times, looked at Fang Hanniang carefully, and said happily: "Hanniang, you are still so beautifulβno, you are more beautiful than last year." Why did you come here in the carriage of the county government? β
Fang Hanniang said a few vague words, but she always felt a little uncomfortable, and when she turned her head, she saw a young man standing at the door of the hospital, looking at her excitedly, as if she was looking at a lost relative.
Chen Lifang saw Fang Hanniang frowning slightly, looked at her line of sight, "oh", and by the way, the two brothers took Fang Hanniang's arm: "That's my eldest brother, Chen Liqing, accompany me to buy some wild plum blossom petals." He's weird sometimes, and you don't have to pay attention to him. β
It turned out to be the strange brother of this strange girl.
Fang Hanniang nodded in her heart, greeted Chen Liqing politely, and smiled slightly.
Chen Liqing only felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and at that time, he could be regarded as a fourteen-year-old boy who was ignorant, even if the door was not right, the household was wrong, and the family was not allowed, he also wanted to be close to this girl, and be closer......
Where did Chen Lifang know the turbulence in her eldest brother's heart, she happily held Fang Hanniang's arm and chirped: "...... Han Niang, there has been a kind of plum soap recently, and my mother also bought me a few pieces of it. I heard that there were some wild red plum petals for sale in this medical hall, so I came to see if I could make some matching wild red plum balm. I have heard that it is better to use it in this way. Do you see that I am much whiter and tenderer? β
Fang Hanniang looked at Chen Lifang carefully, as if the girl's skin was a little more delicate than when they met before.
This stems from the fact that ancient cosmetics contain a lot of lead, and most of the ancient nobles began to use rouge since childhood, which clogged pores and was really lacking in moisturizing. In the long run, it can cause dull and dull skin.
In addition to thoroughly cleansing the face, the glycerin contained in Fang Hanniang can not only cleanse the face thoroughly, but also has the effect of moisturizing and moisturizing.
The things she made by herself had such a great effect, Fang Hanniang felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, and she exclaimed: "It seems to be a little whiter." β
After being praised by a friend, Chen Lifang was very beautiful in her heart, and she was a little regretful: "It's a pity that this plum blossom soap is a little difficult to buy, I have been pestering my mother for a long time, and she is only embarrassed to say that people have run out of stock, and now they can't buy it." I only have a piece in my hand that I use, I use it carefully every day, and I only dare to use it to clean my face, I'm afraid that it will be used up in the next few days, otherwise I'll give you a piece to try. After speaking, Chen Lifang looked at Fang Hanniang, laughed out again, and said with a little envy, "I'm also worrying about it, look at Han Niang's skin, you don't use it, it's a little better than my plum blossom soap!" β
No, no, no, I also use it, Fang Hanniang said in her heart, and she uses it more heroically, not only to clean the face, but also to use it when taking a bath......
It's just that as Chen Lifang said, the plum blossom soap is extremely difficult to buy, and if she, a peasant girl, has it, it will inevitably attract the suspicion of others. Fang Hanniang only sighed silently and didn't say anything.
The two little girls held hands and talked in front of the medical hall for a while, and Chen Liqing couldn't take his eyes off it, as if he was fascinated.
A few years ago, when he saw the little girl, he was excited, and he refused to show his traces in front of his sister, and he didn't ask anything for a long time. Who would have thought that God would see that he would meet her again today, is this the fate of heaven?
Han Niang, he heard his sister call her Han Niang, and couldn't help but think, what a good name, beautiful, slim, like Han Lian, beautiful and delicate.
Of course, this is Chen Liqing's stunned, if Fang Hanniang knew what he was praising her in his heart, she would be inexplicable - she is a ten-year-old girl, although she looks a little like that, right? Yes, but it's not enough to use the word slim to describe it, slim and slim will be in a hurry with you.
Chen Liqing took a deep breath, and just wanted to go up and say a few words, but fortunately, Fang Hanniang also left a good impression in her heart, but saw a woman screaming in disbelief in the medical hall: "What, it's only been a few days, and it costs eighteen taels of silver?!" β
The voice is sharp, and the ears of the piercing people are a little painful.
Fang Hanniang was also shocked by this voice, isn't this the voice of the Fang Tian clan?
Fang Hanniang hurriedly entered the medical hall, and Chen Lifang also followed curiously.
As soon as Chen Liqing saw that her sister and her sweetheart had entered, she naturally followed in.
This medical hall is in the format of the front shop and the back yard, and there is a deep patio in the middle of the courtyard, and a camphor tree is planted.
The shop in front is the place where the doctor sees a doctor and grabs medicine, separated by a partition, and in the semi-open courtyard, it is a place to settle accounts.
"Eighteen taels of silver, why don't you grab it!" Fang Tian was standing in the courtyard with his hands on his waist, his face full of anger, glaring at the bookkeeper of the medical hall. It was Fang Xiangyu standing next to her, who was wrapped in an old cloak at this time, with her hands on her stomach, lest others not know that she was pregnant, and her face was impatient.
Next to it, there was the old Fang Tou and Fang Changzhuang who were smoking dry cigarettes, and there were a few cloth bags under their feet, which seemed to have bought the seeds for spring ploughing.
The family members of the difficult patients I have seen on weekdays have seen a lot, and the bookkeeper is not annoyed. He took the abacus and crackled again and carefully calculated the accounts on the account book, and raised his head: "That's right, this lady, you listen to me and calculate for you, this little woman in your family uses some good medicinal materials to protect the fetus...... " He quickly reported the medicinal materials and prices, and dialed the abacus while calculating, "A total of eighteen taels and fifty wen, not a penny." This gives you a fraction, eighteen taels is enough. β
The bookkeeper showed the results of the abacus to Fang Tian.
Although Fang Tian didn't know how to make a plate, he could still recognize the numbers on the abacus. When she saw that the amount was not bad at all with what the bookkeeper said, her face turned a little pale, and she stammered: "This, this is too much......"
The total amount of silver at home is only a few taels of silver, and there is not much left after buying seeds for spring ploughing. Fang Tian originally thought that even if it cost more money to see a doctor, a few taels of silver would reach the sky, where would he have thought that it would be so much, it would be eighteen taels all of a sudden!
The old man frowned, smoking a dry cigarette and not speaking.
Fang Changzhuang was also frightened by this amount, eighteen taels! How many years does a farmer like them have to save to save such a sum of money!
Seeing this, the bookkeeper knew in his heart that most of the family could not afford the money, his face sank, and he put the keyboard on the table: "Is this trying to repay the account?" Do you want to go to the yafang? β
As soon as he heard the word "Yafan", Fang Tian, who was very afraid of the official family, couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, Fang Xiangyu spoke a little proudly: "It's just eighteen taels of silver, what's so difficult." In Fang Tian's surprised gaze, Fang Xiangyu's eyebrows rolled, and her hand gently touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, "Didn't you forget, who is the father of this child in my belly?" β
Fang Tian's family was overjoyed when he heard this, yes, although her family has no money, her daughter's future in-laws are extremely rich. And this money is spent for the grandson of his Lu family, so it should be from his Lu family!
The old man was also happy when he heard this, he also knew how many taels of silver were left in the family, how could he not be happy if he didn't dig out his family's wealth now?
The bookkeeper smiled: "Then please ask this little lady to call her husband to pay the consultation fee." β
The sentence "husband" made Fang Xiangyu's cheeks red, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart when she thought that she was about to marry Brother Chang and become the young lady of the Splendid Pavilion. She suppressed the smile on the corner of her mouth, and said with a little arrogance: "You sent someone to take the bill to the Lu family......
Fang Changzhuang interrupted his sister's words with some concern: "Isn't this too ostentatious, after all, sister, you haven't passed the door yet." β
The three words "didn't pass the door" poked at the shame of being pregnant out of wedlock in Fang Xiangyu's heart, and she was a little eager to cover up the white: "Brother Chang won't deny the child in my womb!" His voice was a little sharp, and his face was a little pale.
"No, this is the eldest son and grandson of their Lu family." Fang Tian glared at his son, and comforted his daughter, who was a little excited.
Mr. Accounts can be heard that the relationship is pregnant before he has passed the door, and he wants his future husband's family to pay for it. But listening to the conversation between these people, the husband's family doesn't know whether they are willing to pay it or not, even if they are willing to pay it, it may not be possible if they can afford it.
The bookkeeper was a little impatient and said, "Who will pay for this money?" The little lady's husband's family, don't be able to pay this money. β
Fang Xiangyu suddenly raised her head as if she had been insulted, and her voice suddenly rose a lot: "But eighteen taels of silver, how can Brother Chang not take it out!" Dogs look at people with low eyes, do you know what my brother Chang's identity is?! Tell you, he is the eldest young master of the owner of the Splendid Pavilion! β
The bookkeeper was shocked.
Fang Xiangyu saw the shocked look of the bookkeeper, and before she could be complacent, she heard a crisp female voice next to her and said with a little doubt:
"Hey, Brother Chang in your mouth, isn't it Brother Lu Yuchang, the young master of the Lu family, the owner of the Splendid Pavilion, Brother Lu?"
