Chapter 17 Yechun Terrace
"Mom, don't worry, the fifth sister knelt in the ancestral hall, and the second girl also came to see me, and she did enough on her face, and others just regarded it as a small fight between children. Anyway, this matter is pressed down, and there will be no problem. ”
"Amitabha." Cheng's mother recited the Buddha name twice in a row, her heart eased slightly, sighed, and touched her wrapped forehead.
After resting at home for a few days, the red marks on Song Yansheng's forehead have also healed. It was raining this morning, and it was the most comfortable time, so Song Yansheng asked Cheng's mother to prepare a carriage and prepare to go out of the house to walk on the street.
When she arrived at Suzaku Street, it began to rain in the sky again, so Yokobo took an umbrella for her and walked all the way, first going to a few shops under her mother's name. Recently, the sun has become poisonous, and many workers are prone to summer heat, and the pharmacies on Suzaku Street are doing well. The shopkeeper of Dejitang already knew her, Song Yansheng walked in and was diligently put a cup of summer tea, listening to him take a bite of a "young owner" and couldn't help laughing, this person was attentive and thoughtful, I don't know why the business of this shop is so bleak.
She stopped drinking the tea and walked over to look at the herbs on the cabinet. The quality is good, and the variety is complete. The shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his face, and knew that she was strange, so he only shook his head and sighed: "The Huichun Hall on the east side of the time-honored pharmacy on Suzaku Street, and other shops are also large and small. If we talk about medicinal materials, we are not bad, but ......"
She frowned and raised her head, listening to the shopkeeper say: "The price of medicine in the Rejuvenation Hall is low, and the common people like to go over there." Shao Dong's family, if we want to follow him in the same way, Dejitang will have to close its doors. ”
"Naturally, not." Song Yansheng shook his head, walked to sit down next to him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and muttered, "How many of our people are sitting in the hall?" ”
"Two gone, and now there's only one gentleman."
Song Yansheng played with the tea cup, "Today's plan is to attract customers first." Now it's the heat of summer, and I think the summer tea you brew is very good. ”
The shopkeeper is so good that he understands as soon as he hears it: "I will set up a medicine shed tomorrow, whether it is a businessman, a laborer, a pedestrian or a beggar, as long as he passes by, he can drink a cup to cool off." ”
"Not enough. Arrange for Langzhong to tell passers-by about the symptoms and treatment of bitter summer, how to protect and so on. Song Yansheng thought for a while and said: "You don't have to be the same as the old summer tea, it's best to change it from time to time, herbal tea or turtle jelly, you can do it, try it for a while to see the situation." ”
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and nodded in response.
"In addition, how about changing this shop to a horizontal batch, the world is safe."
got into the carriage, Cheng's mother took a silk handkerchief to wipe the mist on her face. Hengbo put some commonly used wound medicines and herbs that he took from Deji Hall in his hand into the compartment of the carriage, clapped his hands and looked greedily at the sugar gourd that Cheng's mother bought for the girl at hand.
Song Yansheng handed her a string and said with a smile: "If you like it, eat it." ”
"This little gluttonous cat." Cheng's mother put away the silk handkerchief and scolded with a smile, and suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, girl, I have already settled the two teenagers in the Red Mansion last time, and they are in our Yechun Terrace, and we are only a few steps ahead." ”
"Then look at them."
Yechuntai is a small teahouse, the location is excellent, built near the water, and the building can look at the Lushui River of Beijing. The Lushui River often flies in flocks of egrets, hence the name, and because of the quiet and secluded surroundings, it is very popular with some literati.
There are many lotuses floating on the side of the Lushui River, white, pink, blooming, and budding, which are very lovely. Song Yansheng went upstairs and chose a secluded place, and after a while, he saw two familiar teenagers coming over. The older one was tall but very thin, with a pale and sickly complexion, and the other was younger, and quite yellow and thin. They brought the refreshments, and after they put them away, the older ones pulled the younger ones to their knees with a "plop", and she was startled by them when she brought the tea.
"What are you doing, get up quickly, Mother Cheng, quickly help them up."
The two teenagers refused to get up and wanted to kowtow to her. She hurriedly jumped up and pulled the two up with Cheng's mother.
"The girl is very gracious, Yusheng is grateful. If it hadn't been for the girl's help, my brother would have been beaten to death by the head of the Red Mansion that day. The older boy remembered the sad thing, and tears overflowed. The younger brother beside him helped him up and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
She looked at this scene with a sour heart, handed the handkerchief in her hand to Yu Sheng, and said softly: "Don't cry, just wipe it quickly, it's fine." ”
Yusheng lowered his head and didn't take the veil, it was Cheng's mother who forced it into him and helped him wipe away his tears.
"How could the Red Mansion behave like this, and no one went to report to the official?"
"The head of the class is powerful, and he has become popular with the two famous characters in the building, and there are rewards in the palace from time to time, and no one dares to care. There were many orphans in the building who were beaten to death. We escaped, but we couldn't escape that hell. Yusheng choked and touched his younger brother's little head, revealing a happy smile: "This is my younger brother Chunsheng, he is a very well-behaved child." Just ......"
Song Yansheng's eyes widened, he couldn't help covering his mouth, and he approached with a trembling voice, gently touching Chunsheng's scarred arm. There were whipped out, there were burns and scalds, many, many of them, all layered on top of each other on the thin arms.
Chunsheng dodged in fear, but did not move away, his eyes were dark and pure, and he smiled at her with a friendly smile.
Yusheng put down his younger brother's cuffs, looked at her with a pale face, looked at her with very serious eyes, and said, "Girl, our brother will repay him as a cow and a horse." ”
Song Yansheng shook his head, sat back in his seat and sighed, "You have suffered. "The Red Mansion is Xiao Changying's industry, and when she saw such a tragedy, she didn't care about it, she was really ruthless.
"Don't be afraid, just rest and recuperate here." She looked at Yu Sheng's pale face again, and said with some worry: "Yu Sheng, what is wrong with you, why are you so pale?" ”
"My brother, my brother has been tired for many years, his foundation is broken, and he always has some pain all year round, he refuses to say, no one tells him, but I know." Chunsheng helped his brother, sniffed, and regardless of Yusheng's warning eyes, he pursed his mouth and gritted his teeth to say it.
Song Yansheng was a little distressed, and hurriedly asked Hengbo to go to the carriage and bring all the newly taken medicinal materials to them, while instructing: "Where it hurts, just tell me, don't hide it." Since I have saved you, I will always help you to the end, and you can rest assured that you will recuperate. ”
Seeing the two brothers, she didn't have the mood to look at the shop anymore, so she went downstairs to take a look at the layout of Yechun Terrace, and had some ideas in her heart. When he arrived at the door and was about to get into the carriage, he heard a call: "Girl! Six girls! ”
When she looked back, it was Chunsheng. The child ran over with a large handful of lotus flowers, his little face flushed, and ran to her and put a bouquet of flowers in her arms.
She smiled, sniffed, and said, "This is for me?" ”
"Well, the ones I just picked are the most beautiful." Chunsheng saw her smile, pursed his lips and laughed, took out a small thing from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand, and ran away in a hurry with a blushing face.
When he returned to the Song Mansion, Song Yansheng put the little thing in his hand on the windowsill and held his chin to look at it. This is a woodcarved rabbit, vivid, touch the head slightly, the little rabbit will shake its head by itself, very cute.
Yokoba smiled with bright eyes, "It's so fun." ”
She sat on the windowsill as the rain began to pour outside. She suddenly remembered her pale brother Yusheng,...... Yusheng Yusheng, this name seems to have been heard somewhere.
After resting at home for a few days, Song Yansheng followed his brother Song Meiheng to school again. Wen Sige lost the sound of the Song Qin, and I don't know how quiet it was in my ears. She propped her chin and watched "The Female Rule" while thinking about things.
The confinement of the third room will not be closed for long, the old lady's meaning, just give a lesson to suppress their majesty, the third aunt Li is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after reflecting on these days, she has been pressed long enough in one breath.
It's not okay for the inner house to go on like this.
She frowned, the tip of her pen unconsciously writing and drawing on the book.
…… Then, there are some shops under the mother's name that need to be rectified. I went to Yechuntai a while ago, and the location environment is very good, but the business is mediocre, and it is a waste of such a good land. The way the small teahouse is operated is definitely not successful, and it has to be changed to a new model. Everyone in Beijing loves to listen to operas, and Yechun Terrace can also set up a stage, but this alone is not interesting enough. Most of the regulars are literati, and they like to be quiet and elegant, so it is better to set up a tea room on the second floor...... The characteristics of the teahouse can not be abandoned, and the refreshments and snacks must be exquisite and flavorful......
"Six girls! Six girls! ”
Ay? She was stunned for a moment, then snapped back to her senses. The girl Gu in front of her secretly reminded her, and pointed to the old master Xu with a gloomy face in front of her.
"What do the six girls think about so distractedly, why don't you tell us about it?" Xu Fuzi must have been angry, he didn't brush his beard anymore, and his eyes swept straight over and asked.
It's terrible. Song Yansheng lowered her head to admit her mistake, a few steps away, but Xu Fuzi was angry, walked over and picked up her book to take a look, and when she saw the graffiti on the page, her face turned blue.
"This! What are you drawing?! ”
There was laughter in the Wensi Pavilion.
"Mr. Xu doesn't know? This is Miss Song Liu's 'Book from Heaven'! ”
"Hahaha!"
Xu Fuzi had a beard with half of his face, and he was very smooth, and his beard flew up with anger, and when he saw that the pavilion was like an explosion, he blushed and shouted: "Quiet"! When everyone's discussion gradually became quieter, he stretched out his hand and pointed out the door and said, "Sixth girl, since you don't listen to my class, then please do it." ”
Song Yansheng walked out of Wensi Pavilion with a look of chagrin, and Hengbo was behind him holding a book and covering his mouth and smiling. She turned her head to look at the girl faintly, held her forehead and sighed: "I really think that the words have made some progress." ”
Duan Xun: The coconut cake given by my wife is really delicious ^^
Yuanying: It's not for you!!
Ah Hao: ......
