Chapter 69: The Scholar

In order to temporarily avoid the limelight, Su Yunran closed the door very early that day, and also found a place for Ah Qing to live on the outskirts of the city.

Liang Hezhen went to the yamen for a trip, and when he came back, he brought her some street snacks: "The current grain is sky-high, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be chaos." ”

Su Yunran looked at him: "Can you still buy any staple food now?" It's also good to prepare in advance. ”

Liang Hezhen shook his head: "Don't talk about rice, millet and wheat, even sweet potatoes are not sold." In the current situation, either they are hoarding in case of urgent needs, or they are hoarding and waiting for high prices. Either way, it will only get more difficult in the future. ”

Su Yun knew that there was still a lot of food in the space, but how to take it out without being suspicious was another problem.

"It's not too early, we should go to Zhang's house."

Zhang's mansion, the door is wide open, and it seems that they are waiting for them.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper had been waiting at the door, and when he saw the two getting out of the car, he immediately greeted him: "The two of you are here, my master has asked several times." Hurry inside, please, this is to order someone to serve the food. ”

Master Zhang and Gongzi Zhang Qianyun greeted him when they heard the voice: "Liang Gongzi and Su Niangzi are here, please come inside, serve tea!" ”

Su Yunran looked at Master Zhang, he was full of energy, and it seemed that he had recovered well when he came in: "How is Master Zhang doing lately?" ”

Master Zhang smiled and said, "Okay! Thanks to you, the old man's old bones can eat, drink, and sleep, I don't know how good it is! Recently, there have been fewer heart problems, and the whole person feels a lot more Tongtai. ”

Su Yunran nodded, but still took the initiative to check the pulse of Master Zhang again: "By the way, why don't you see Doctor Xu?" ”

Zhang Qianyun said: "He, he said that he was in a hurry and left in a hurry." He has always been like this, he has come and gone without a trace, only when he is looking for you, it is difficult for you to find him. ”

Su Yunran is really a little envious of Xu Limo's free and easy, the world is at my disposal. But she is a woman, and she wants to realize such a free and easy dream in this era. Dreams still have to be had, what if hell happens?

"Master Zhang, although his condition has improved now, he must not relax his carelessness. Eat and eat as regularly as before, and be sure to maintain a calm mood. You can rest assured that you will never worry about it anymore. As for the medication, I will prescribe another dose of a milder prescription, and Mr. Zhang still needs to take the medicine on time. ”

Master Zhang stroked his beard and smiled one by one, after three rounds of drinking, the husband and wife were ready to leave. After all, there is still some distance from the town to Shanghe Village, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is not safe to be too late.

Master Zhang didn't do much to keep it, but before leaving, he took out a small box and handed it to Su Yunran: "Thanks to the little lady, you have a wonderful hand to rejuvenate, this is our Zhang Mansion Yunruo's consultation fee, you can accept it." ”

Su Yunran was not pretending to be polite, took the box and opened it directly.

"Lord Zhang, this ...... I don't want to, I'll only take my due. "It's a full three thousand taels in the box.

Zhang Qianyun said with a smile: "Su Niangzi, don't shirk it, this is just our Zhang Mansion's thanks, you must accept it, otherwise we will be uneasy." ”

"Yes, the medicine you made for me is expensive, and this money should be so. The little girl doesn't have to excuse the old man, I'm afraid that the old man will have something to trouble you in the future. ”

The words of father and son made her unable to refuse anymore, but she took out half of it: "I don't dare to take credit for the diagnosis and treatment of Master Zhang, there is also half of Dr. Xu's credit for this." Therefore, the consultation fee was divided into two, and I asked Master Zhang to transfer it to Dr. Xu for me. ”

The father and son looked at each other and smiled, and Zhang Qianyun said, "You can accept it quickly!" He knew you were going to say that. As soon as he comes to Hongyang Town, he will definitely come to my house, so ah, he is embarrassed to accept the medical fee. ”

Zhang Qianyun, a gentle and decent person, would also joke, and Su Yunran didn't shirk anymore.

The husband and wife said goodbye to Zhang's mansion and embarked on the road back to the village in the night.

Su Yunran was excited and nervous with three thousand taels of silver in his arms: "Xianggong, tomorrow we will deposit this silver ticket into the bank!" I'm always a little uneasy to carry it in my arms. ”

Liang Hezhen didn't know her careful thoughts, but she was worried about the people in the Liang family's two rooms!

I haven't seen my in-laws for several days, and when Fu Mianniang heard that they were back, she was excited: "Why did you come back!" Don't rush back next time it's dark, it's not safe. ”

Su Yunran stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Mother, I've been at home with you for the past few days, okay?" ”

Fu Mianniang looked at her a little strangely: "How can you do it?" Do you still have business to do and don't open a store? ”

Su Yunran said helplessly: "Right now, everyone is worried about the matter of the imperial court increasing taxes and grain, although I have stocked up on some food in advance, but everyone has tightened their purses. ”

Fu Mianniang heard it, and couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out that business is not good!" ”

Su Yunran said coquettishly: "Mother, it's my first time doing business, can't you give me some face and not break me?" ”

The whole family laughed, and at the same time, a discordant voice also sounded: "Yo, the second sister-in-law is so happy about something, and she also said it to make us happy!" ”

Fu Mianniang didn't bother to pay attention to her, pulled Su Yunran and said, "You are also tired, there is still warm water on the stove, hurry up and wash and sleep!" ”

Seeing that there was no one in the family to talk to, Montessori couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable on his face, so he continued: "Yo, Hezhen is back?" Hezhen, did the yamen say when the tax will be increased? Always give us a time limit, otherwise there will always be people who can't eat and sleep. ”

Liang Hezhen raised his eyes and glanced at her: "The imperial court has not issued the latest directive, and the county government does not know yet." ”

Someone finally paid attention to her, and Montessori looked at Su Yunran again: "Yo Xiaoran, how is the business of the store?" If there is a shortage of manpower, you can tell the third aunt, I am idle at home. ”

Su Yunran sighed: "When the grain harvest is failing and the tax is about to be raised, it is strange that my restaurant business can be good." No, just open and prepare to close for a few days to see how things go. If the third aunt is idle, she can ask the eldest aunt, the uncle works in the grain store, and now the business of the grain store is rising, maybe it is the time to employ people. ”

In the night, Montessori gave Su Yun a roll of the eyes. It's not interesting to talk about yourself, so you won't pick up the stubble.

Fu Mianniang pulled Su Yunran and said, "Don't pay attention to her, she just had a fight with your third uncle today, and she is in a bad mood and wants to find someone to vent her anger!" ”

Su Yunran's gossip heart burned: "Okay, why did you quarrel?" ”

Fu Mianniang said helplessly: "What else can it be, your third uncle is an unsuccessful person." Your third aunt coaxed a lot of money from your grandmother over the years, and originally wanted to save up for her two daughters, but she didn't expect it to be turned out by your third uncle today.

Taking advantage of your third aunt's absence from home for a while, he took the money and went to the town to gamble. In just one afternoon, all the thirty taels of silver that your third aunt saved were lost. Can she not make trouble if she knows? But this trouble made your aunt know that your third aunt got thirty taels of silver from your grandmother, and your aunt was naturally not happy, so she went to make trouble with your grandmother. ”

Fu Mianniang sighed and shook her head: "This afternoon is a chicken flying and a dog jumping, and our Liang family has no time to stop." ”

Su Yunran hid her face and snickered: "Mother, then you should also make trouble!" Over the years, the most contributed is the second room, the least is the second room, and the most qualified is the second room. ”

Fu Mianniang poked Su Yunran's brain: "If I had gone to make trouble before, but now that you two are good boys, I won't be that shrew." ”

Su Yunran smiled, leaned on Fu Mianniang's shoulder and smiled: "Father, mother, our future days will definitely get better and better." ”

Fu Mianniang nodded, and Liang Erhai followed alongside: "Yes, it will get better and better." ”

Washing up and lying down, Su Yunran was really tired in the past few days, and he fell asleep without even going to the space.

After breakfast the next day, Fu Mianniang still let her go to the town, although the business was not good, but after all, it was closed within a few days.

After all, half of this shop is Mrs. Zhao's, you can't do what you want, even if the business is not good, you should insist on it. Su Yunran couldn't, so he had to follow Liang Hezhen to the town.

"Xianggong, I didn't go to the county the day before yesterday, and the county master didn't say anything to you, right?" Su Yunran suddenly remembered to ask him about this, but it was like missing the phone a year ago, and you only remembered to ask people what was going on with you now.

Liang Hezhen smiled stupidly for a while: "It's really not easy to wait for you to think of this problem." Don't worry, it's okay. When I go to work today, will you be scared when you are alone in the store? If I'm afraid, I'll go and pick up A-Qing. ”

Su Yunran shook his head: "No need, I'm not afraid in broad daylight." ”

Liang Hezhen raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows to express some disbelief: "Think about it, don't be scared and cry when the time comes!" ”

Su Yunran snorted coldly disdainfully: "I won't!" You can rest assured to do your business, there is no business in the store, and I can be regarded as stealing half a day. You just let my ears be clean and clean, and the world will be noisy as soon as Ah Qing comes. ”

Liang Hezhen unloaded the carriage and rode to the yamen.

In half a day, there are only two customers in the store. Su Yunran was very idle, and just as he was about to enter the space to take a look, he heard someone shouting for help outside the door.

Su Yunran didn't dare to move, and observed by the window for a while before going out.

A man who looked like a scholar on the side of the road, lying on the ground sweating and unable to move, looked like he should have fallen from the mountain.

"Help, girl, help me! My legs, it hurts! Su Yunran looked at his legs, and his socks were already stained with blood.

"Don't move yet, it's probably a fracture, I'll find something to fix it for you first." Su Yunran found two wooden planks and rattan to help him fix his injured leg.

"Thank you girl for saving your life!" The pink-faced scholar arched his hand.

"You're not going to die." Su Yunran returned without being salty.

The scholar shook his head: "If Xiaosheng's leg is broken, there will be no way to enter the government in the future, what is the difference between this and taking my life?" ”
