Chapter 256: Unreasonable
Yu Jiao had breakfast, and not long after returning to the house to practice calligraphy in Yu Qiyu's room, she was called into the hall by Yu Ruhai.
Yu Ruhai first asked in a fake manner, "Are these days in Qingzhou okay?" I've heard from you that you're in trouble on the way back, what the hell is going on? ”
Yu Jiao sat down on the chair, took a slow sip of tea, and then said, "It's not much, it's just that a group of people are blocking the road and robbing it." ”
"I heard the book because of what medical book you have in your hand?" Yu Ruhai squinted his old eyes, and asked with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
Yu Jiao smiled faintly, "I don't have any medical books in my hand, but some people mistakenly think that I have some secret skills when they see my high medical skills." ”
She put down the teacup and said, "When I first came to the Yu family, you couldn't explain what you brought with me, if I really have any precious medical books in my hand, I wouldn't have exchanged them for silver a long time ago, how could I have been sold for joy because of four taels of silver?" ”
She has always spoken without tactfulness, Yu Ruhai is already a little used to it, although he also wondered if Yu Jiao had any medical books in his hand that were not handed down, but when this girl came from Mengjia Village, she had nothing to do.
However, she does have many secret skills in her hands, but it is true.
Yu Ruhai cleared his throat and asked with a smile, "You went to Qingzhou to see the prefect's wife this time, and you deserve a lot of consultation money, right?" ”
Yu Jiao heard the meaning of his words, feelings are for silver.
"Although it is the prefect's house, the prefect's wife is not a serious illness, but a women's disease, and the consultation fee is only given a hundred taels." Yu Jiao was not going to tell the silver obtained by Sun Mansion to share it with Yu Ruhai.
Yu Ruhai heard that there were one hundred taels, and he already felt that it was a lot, and the smile on his face became bigger, and he laughed out of the folds.
I only heard Yu Jiao pause, and then continued, "Sister Poria and I bought some things for the family in Qingzhou, spent a lot of silver, and now there are less than seventy taels in our hands, if it is according to what I said before, I should give you half of the consultation fee, but the prefect's wife not only gave one hundred taels of consultation money, but Lord Yang also sent two pieces of Yujiang pine ink and two Huizhou colored porcelain purple pen, that Yujiang pine ink is worth a hundred taels, and the same is true of Zihao pen, if you want to triage gold, then how should this Yujiang pine ink and Zihao pen be calculated?" ”
Yu Ruhai heard her say this, the smile on his face stiffened, last night Yu Jinshu had already taken Yujiang Songmo and Zihao pen to show in front of him, and said that it was given to their brother by Governor Yang.
He didn't mention that it was because Yu Jiao saw the prefect's wife that he got the valuable gift, but only said how valuable the ink was.
Yu Jiao looked at Yu Ruhai with a smile, "Speaking of which, I still lost money, and I only got a hundred taels of silver for the consultation, if we divide the Yujiang Songmo and Zihao pen equally, I should have more than two hundred taels of silver?" It's just that I see that the second brother and the fourth brother all like Zihao pen and Yujiang pine ink, what do you think? ”
Yu Ruhai smiled dryly, "That pen and ink are dead things, and they can't be counted on the consultation fee." ”
Yu Jiao showed a sneering smile, "It's not simple? If you sell it, you can exchange it for silver, so that you can have more silver in your hand, and I can have more silver in my hand, why don't you do it like this? ”
Yu Ruhai heard Yu Jinshu say yesterday, the Yujiang pine ink is produced in Huizhou, and the Zihao pen may not be able to buy it even if there is silver, in short, it is the best thing, and it was given by the prefect of Qingzhou, if this is more face-saving, how can he ask for it from the hands of the four brothers and sell it for silver?
But the four brothers went to Qiuqiu, Qingzhou, and drained the family's money box, and the third brother lost ten taels of silver on the pork stall, and Yu Jiao had silver in his hand, how could he not be greedy?
"Why don't you just do it? I went to ask the second brother and the fourth brother to go back to Yujiang Songmo and Zihao pen, the shop that sells pen, ink, paper and inkstone in the town should know the goods, and they will definitely accept these good things. Yu Jiao stood up and said with a smile.
Yu Ruhai hurriedly said, "Forget it, forget it, they are all scholars, they can't do without pen and ink, and they were sent by the prefect, no matter how poor we are, how can we take those things out for money?" Grandfather is not an unreasonable person, so forget about the consultation fee this time. ”
"Is that really it?" Yu Jiao said unhurriedly.
Yu Ruhai smiled perfunctorily, secretly itching his teeth, but he had no choice but to say, "Forget it." ”
"Then I'll go back to the house first." Yu Jiao walked outside the hall.
Yu Ruhai called her again, and Yu Jiao turned to look at him, "What?" Is there anything else you can do? ”
"I heard from the letter that you met two nobles on the way back, and the nobles helped solve the matter of blocking the road and robbing them, and those people won't find their homes, right?" Yu Ruhai said with some unease.
Yu Jiao was about to speak, when there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.
Yu Qiaoshan, who was making bamboo strips in the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and saw that the two sons who were standing outside the door were actually helping on the way back to Changkui, and hurriedly invited the two into the courtyard, "Why are the two sons here?" ”
He also thought that Gu Yun and the others came to the door because of the follow-up of the gang of robbers on the road.
Liu Ziqi said gently and politely, "Uncle Yu, is Miss Yu here?" We had something to do with her. ”
Yu Jiao, who had already seen the two of them in the hall, raised her eyebrows, and was a little surprised, these two people did not come to Changkui to visit the deceased, why did they come to the Yu family.
Yu Ruhai's attention was also attracted by the two people in the hospital, and he thought that someone came to see him, and seeing that the two of them were good-looking and extraordinary, he stood up and was about to go to the hospital to greet the two.
Gu Yun's eyes were sharp, and he saw Yu Jiao standing in the hall, and grinned at her, a mouthful of white teeth that stood out in the sun.
"The two sons are here to see a doctor?" Yu Ruhai said with a smile on his face.
Liu Ziqi looked at Yu Ruhai's age and guessed that he should be the grandfather Yu Jinshu said, because of Yu Jinshu's words in the carriage, he felt that this old man Yu was quite good.
"Old man, we're here to find Miss Yu." Liu Ziqi responded.
Yu Qiaoshan explained on the side, "Dad, these two sons helped us a lot on the way back to Changkui, this is Liu Gongzi and this is Gu Gongzi. ”
Yu Ruhai didn't expect that the two young sons in front of him were the nobles from the capital mentioned by Yu Jinshu, the smile on his face was even kinder, and he greeted, "It turns out to be two sons, hurry, please come to the house." ”
He greeted Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi into the hall, hurriedly called Yu Jinshu to come out to meet the guests, and asked Yu Zhou to prepare tea.
"You really don't have to be so polite." Liu Ziqi saw that he was so excited, and said loudly.
Yu Ruhai said with a smile, "I have heard what Jinshu said, thanks to the two sons on the road, I really should thank the two sons." ”
Yu Jinshu walked out of the room, saw Gu Yun and Liu Ziqi sitting in the hall, couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled enthusiastically, "Why are Gu Gongzi and Liu Gongzi here?" ”
"We have something to do with Miss Yu." Liu Ziqi's eyes fell on Yu Jiao, and there were some uncontrollable emotional fluctuations in his heart.
