Chapter 31: Happy Event
"Well," Xiao Baozi nodded obediently, got into the room, fumbled in the corner for a while, and when he ran over, he held an old box in his arms, and didn't care about wiping the ash on his face, handed the box to Dou Qingshuang, and looked at her expectantly.
It was a gilded mahogany box, the color of the log was much darker, the whole body was damaged, the age looked very old, the keyhole had died, and it was difficult to open it even if there was a key.
The woman wiped her tears, took out a handkerchief to wipe her face for the little bun, her eyes fell on the box, and she sighed and said: "I heard the old sister say that Wang Cheng turned this box out when he was young, and the old sister didn't let him touch the things inside, and in the middle of the night, he injected molten iron into the keyhole and threw the key." Miss Dou, since the old sister wants to give it to you, you can smash this box! ”
Dou Qingshuang nodded, picked up a brick from the ground, and without much effort, smashed the box open, shattered the sawdust to the ground, and rolled out a black package from it.
She suddenly felt a little familiar, and reached out to open the package, which was actually a row of silver needles.
The length of the silver needle is different, the thickness is the same, about 100 roots, the raw material of the silver needle should be particularly difficult to find, after a hundred years there is no slightest sign of corrosion, but as new grinding in general, extremely sharp.
"If Lord Liu knows about it, I don't know what state of mind it is," Dou Qingshuang chuckled and looked at the woman, "The old lady of the Wang family deliberately concealed it, for the sake of her grandson, and for you." ”
"But no," the woman wiped away her tears and sighed, "I also learned about this by chance when I was a child, and when I encountered an epidemic, my old sister specially told me not to tell me about it, otherwise, Lord Liu would not have put our lives in his eyes, and when the time comes, everyone will really have only one way to die." ”
There was a trace of guilt on the woman's face, "I have wronged the girl, and I ask the girl not to tell me about it." It can also be regarded as the spirit of comforting the old sister in the sky. ”
"Yes." Dou Qingshuang carefully put away the needle wrap, for her, this is something more precious than ten thousand taels of gold, "There is no collection in the copper village. ”
The old woman wiped her tears and nodded, Xiao Baozi was very puzzled by the conversation between the two adults, but he knew that his aunt was very sad at this time, and he could only make his aunt feel better if he was well-behaved.
This is what grandmothers often teach themselves.
"Miss Qingshuang," a young woman ran in in a panic, "Father Yang and Mother Yang are coming to the door, go out and have a look!" ”
"It's really uncomfortable!" The woman said indignantly, "The Yang family doesn't know what to do!" ”
Dou Qingshuang didn't speak, she got up and walked out with the young woman, and as soon as she went out, she saw a group of people gathered outside, inside was Yang's father and Yang's mother, and the courtyard was full of their quarrels.
"Miss Dou," Doctor Shan saw her coming, his calm face was only a little soothed, and his brows were still wrinkled, "This couple took medicine in your name and were caught by the big guy, you see?" ”
Dou Qingshuang raised her eyes to look, and when Father Yang and Mother Yang saw her come out, they instinctively trembled, still clutching the herbs in their hands, no matter how the people around them stared at them, they would never let go.
"I said the eldest lady of the Yang family," the fat aunt who was in charge of boiling medicine for everyone pinched her waist and pointed to Yang's mother, "This is the herbs that the big guy has worked hard to dig from the mountains, each serving is only enough for the family to drink, it is all life-saving medicine, you have to drink it, you go to the mountains to pick it yourself, what is it to steal someone else's?" Bah! ”
"We don't know herbal medicines," Father Yang hugged Mother Yang, hung his head, and didn't dare to look at Dou Qingshuang's forced gaze, "Everyone has lived in the same village for so long, do you know the herbs, can I not know?" Isn't everything you pick by yourself? If you can take it, why can't we? You have a lot of ability, and then go to the mountains to pick it! ”
"Oh my God, a man like you doesn't feel panicked when he can say such a thing!" The fat aunt's face was full of ridicule, and she snorted: "Why didn't you two think of asking Miss Dou to help you collect medicine when you two slandered Miss Dou?" Seriously, I'm a person who has seen the world, but it's the first time I've seen a couple like you who abuse their daughters and wronged good people! ”
"That's it," the people around echoed, "Shameless, return the herbs quickly, or you two will look good!" ”
Mother Yang was anxious, pointed at Dou Qingshuang and said, "She has the ability, why don't you just look for her?" Why do you always cling to our business? Isn't it just a few rotten grasses! As for you? Isn't she a bodhisattva, you beg her to go! ”
"Heh," Doctor Shan sneered, his hands were folded into his sleeves, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "It's the first time I've seen such a heartless, immoral, despicable and shameless villain." Miss Dou, although you have the duty to save people as a doctor, you don't have the choice to save the heartless, and the world won't blame you. ”
Doctor Shan thought too much, Dou Qingshuang didn't take the two of them in his eyes at all, and the woman holding the little bun saw her expression, and immediately shouted: "The daughter-in-law of the old Sun family!" We have gathered that herb in sweat and at the risk of our lives, and we must not swallow it to two wicked people! What did you miss, there are still two doctors in the village! ”
"Hmph." Doctor Shan turned his head, "The old man doesn't have the energy." ”
"I've seen you guys unpleasant for a long time, don't you take them, right?" The fat daughter-in-law snorted and rolled up her sleeves, "Everyone, give it to me!" I have to teach them both a lesson today! ”
A group of people who had already seen that Father Yang and Mother Yang were not pleasing to the eye, and the guys in their hands rushed over one by one, and the frightened Father and Mother Yang ran away, but where did the two of them run a few young and strong? Soon they were surrounded by people, and from time to time there were miserable screams.
"Something without conscience," the woman looked at Yang Erbao and Yang Sanbao, who were hiding in the corner and wiping their tears, and sighed, "The two wolf cubs gave birth to a few sheep cubs, and I don't know if the Yang family has accumulated virtue or created evil." ”
Lu Yi, who was dressed in black, walked in, and saw that Yang's father and Yang's mother were beaten, the tragic appearance made him tremble inexplicably, and his legs and feet were also a little unfavorable, as if he thought of something bad, he forced his scalp and turned in front of Dou Qingshuang, "Miss Dou, my master is invited." ”
Dou Qingshuang frowned, "I'm busy." ”
"My master said, please watch a good show," although Lu Yi lowered his head, his tone was unacceptable, "It's rare to see, I hope the girl doesn't want to attract the master's interest." ”
Dou Qingshuang looked at him and was about to open her mouth to refuse, but suddenly felt that Lu Yi seemed to be a little familiar, and she was stunned for a moment, not knowing where this feeling came from.
Lu Yi turned sideways to give way, Doctor Shan stood on the side, and said: "Zhao Shizi is not an unreasonable person, he is looking for Miss Dou, he may have something important to discuss, the girl will go with peace of mind, and later, the old man will ask the girl for a doctor." ”
Dou Qingshuang looked at the doctor on the list, and the old man nodded at her with a smile in his eyebrows, which inexplicably made her feel a little relieved, nodded, reached out and took the hat handed over by Lu Yi, and put her whole person up from top to bottom.
There was a carriage parked in the corner of the village, the whole body was dark, only the tassel hanging in front of the carriage was dyed with a touch of purple, Lu Yi lifted the curtain, and Dou Qingshuang stepped on a low stool and entered the carriage.
The four corners of the carriage were padded with extremely soft thick cushions, and he didn't feel uncomfortable sitting down, Dou Qingshuang sat down, and through the white veil, he could vaguely see Zhao Yu sitting opposite him, and there was a low corner table between them, which was covered with exquisite meals.
Zhao Yu picked up the purple sand Baizhu teapot and slowly filled it with a cup of tea, and the fragrance of tea immediately overflowed his nasal cavity, making people can't help but sigh, "This is the best tributary wild spring tea unique to the pear country, which is extremely rare, and General Dou, who has made great contributions, has been rewarded by the emperor with one or two." You help Ben Shizi taste it, this tea is real or fake. ”
Dou Qingshuang didn't move, "Did the prince just ask me to come for tea?" ”
"Yes and no." Zhao Yu propped up his chin, picked up the teacup, blew away the floating heat, and took a sip, "It is possible that this son of the world will also come to you to play chess." ”
Dou Qingshuang said, "I can only fight chess." ”
"War chess?"
"The two armies are facing each other, the infantry is the leader, the cavalry is the center, the archers are the rear, and the general is in charge," Dou Qingshuang picked up the tea, her fingers were thin and slender, "Don't be trapped by strategy, just to kill the other party without leaving a piece of armor." ”
"It's kind of interesting," Zhao Yu pushed a stack of venison in front of her, "Everything pays attention to logical cause and effect, but you abandon all this, aren't you afraid of ending up together?" ”
Dou Qingshuang didn't speak, her thin body lined her shoulder blades with sharp edges, Zhao Yu sandwiched a piece of fish meat into her bowl, "The ending is important, no matter how difficult the process is, you should enjoy it to the fullest." There is a Deng opera tonight, this son wants to watch it with Miss Dou, you might as well eat more meat, and then you will have the strength to escape. ”
She lowered her eyes, the piece of fish in the bowl was crystal clear, exuding a unique fresh taste, fat and thornless, and the steamed fish that A-Niang loved to make in her memory, Dou Qingshuang refused in her heart, but she still picked up the chopsticks and put the piece of fish meat in her mouth. It melts in the mouth, and the taste is really delicious, I don't know how many times better than A-Niang's craftsmanship.
Zhao Yu saw her eating one piece after another, the white veil couldn't see her expression clearly, and only when she was eating food could she catch a glimpse of a smile on the corner of her lips.
After a long time, Dou Qingshuang was satisfied, she put down her chopsticks and said, "Thank you for your hospitality." ”
"This son doesn't like to owe favors to others, although he was injured because of you, but he was saved by you after all," Zhao Yu opened the small curtain, glanced at the sky, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "It's almost time, it's time to take you to see a good show." ”
Lu Yi was instructed to immediately drive the carriage and look for the very hidden path in the village, Dou Qingshuang also opened the small curtains, looked at the surrounding scenery, and suddenly caught a glimpse of two red lanterns printed with the word "Xi".
She frowned slightly, at this time, there are still people doing happy events?
