421 The Golden Branches Do Not Go Down to the Church12
The arrival of Aunt He seemed to only alarm the two little maids who delivered the meal, but in fact, it did not escape an invisible eye.
Lan Shuying sat firmly in her courtyard, set up a small round table, made a cup of fragrant flower tea, and watched a movie happily behind closed doors - Yiyi pulled Aunt He into the house, and the two were eating face to face.
Guo Yizhen will definitely not treat himself badly in terms of treatment, the meals prepared by the Zhou family have always been more exquisite, and Aunt He's living standard will never be able to eat breakfast of this specification, but she is not happy to eat this meal.
The woman dropped the chopsticks at a very long interval, and she didn't care about what was clipped back, she frowned, and looked at Yiyi from time to time, as if it was difficult to say something.
Lan Shuying is very concerned about Aunt He.
This attention is still on top of the concubine.
Each world has a corresponding protagonist, and Aunt He seems to be poor and destitute, just a very inconspicuous little person, but she is the mother of the heroine He Yongjun.
"Calculate the time, it's time for the heroine to come." Lan Shuying said silently to the toffee.
Milk Candy took the initiative to ask: "Master, I'll go check Aunt He's house!" The heroine came in after He Erya died, if He Erya had fallen into the water, it would be He Yongjun who woke up again. ”
"Well, there you go."
There is a distance limit for the monitoring of toffee, but this small problem is not difficult to overcome.
Lan Shuying looked at the little white cat's eyes and lost her look, she knew that the toffee was possessed by a different target, so that it could always go to the vicinity of He's house all the way through.
She called, and the little white cat looked up in confusion, looking ...... It's a good bully.
She lifted the kitten up to her lap and lifted its back, the fur was neither short nor long, very supple and pleasant to touch.
At this time, Yiyi's mother and daughter had already finished breakfast.
Aunt He grabbed her eldest daughter's sleeve and began to ask for help, Lan Shuying didn't even need to call up the content of their conversation, just looking at the shape of her mouth, she could make out the words "falling into the water" and "sleeping".
really made her guess right: Aunt He is here to borrow money today.
Mrs. He has two daughters, Yiyi and He Erya, and a young son underneath.
After her husband died of illness, the family relied on Aunt He to wash people's clothes. Yiyi didn't call this name originally, and the poor family thought that it was easy to support her with a cheap name, so she was called a big girl, and she changed her name after entering Mingyue Tower.
Lan Shuying has already gotten the plot of toffee theft, this is a time-traveling script, the heroine He Yongjun is a time-traveler, but this time-traveler is a little different: she is not from modern times, but from another ancient plane.
There is a respect for women, and almost everyone loves poetry and literature - this is also a weapon for the female protagonist to attract the male protagonist.
He Erya is ten years old this year, lively and active, accidentally fell into the water, and was in a coma for several days.
Everyone thought that the girl was dead, but she woke up - and became the versatile He Yongjun.
"Really...... Corny plot. Lan Shuying muttered to herself.
It may be that the force of her attack is too heavy, and the little white cat suddenly turned her head and made a fierce expression, and her fangs burned a bloody wound on her wrist.
"Hmm, I'm sorry."
Lan Shuying gently threw it out, wanting it to play in the yard by itself for a while, so that she could take care of the wound.
As a result, the little white cat's body had a difficult chain flip in the air, and after landing, it jumped back on her lap at a faster speed: "Meow! ”
Toffee is back.
"Master, people are still unconscious, I tied a mouse and put it under He Erya's bed, if she wakes up, we will know immediately."
Mouse?
Lan Shuying frowned, good idea.
She nodded, continuing to look at the monitor.
Yiyi didn't have any cash in her hand, and Aunt He walked away in a big loss.
But Lan Shuying knew that this matter was not over, and Zhou Jing would definitely come to find him tonight, after all, the tears of a beautiful woman were the biggest killer.
……
In the evening, Lan Shuying explained a few words to Yueping and locked the door to practice.
Yueping squatted in the courtyard, and a thick flat pole was rested in the corner next to the door, which was easy to reach.
In winter, when it gets dark early, and the sky just shows a deep blue, a figure holding a folding fan dangles at the other end of the path, and Yueping pouts when she sees it: You still take a fan on a cold day, aren't you too cold?
The person who came was really Zhou.
was stopped at the gate of the courtyard by Yueping, and Zhou was very dissatisfied.
He has already touched a lot of nails in Lan Shuying, but he still persistently thinks in his heart: It is a woman who is making a small character, in fact, she is still the Guo Yizhen who loves him like life in her bones.
Besides, the one who stood in front of him was Yueping, she symbolized the failure of his plan, and Zhou Guo didn't have a good face for her.
"Get out of the way, I want to see the lady." He snapped the fan shut and said forcefully.
But Yueping was tougher than him, and dragged the flat pole over and crossed in front of him: "Our young lady said it, I don't see it!" ”
"Presumptuous, this is in the Zhou family, I am the master of the Zhou family, can I enter my room and see my wife to be stopped by you, a wicked slave?"
Yueping sneered and moved her fingers, turned the flat pole into a beautiful round wheel, and blocked the circumference again, the meaning was very obvious: If you dare to go further, I will beat you.
Zhou Shi doesn't believe in evil anymore.
The flat pole was already still, and it was held firmly in Yueping's right hand, and he tried to reach out to fix it, but it suddenly turned up, mercilessly!
"Ouch!" Zhou Shi immediately retracted his hand, and the skin quickly became red and swollen.
This girl, is it really still playing? His eyes were round, looking fierce, but he was actually a little stunned in his heart.
However, in fact, Yueping is weaker than him.
Yueping is just a little girl who has just turned sixteen, she is a head shorter than Zhou Jing, and her strength is not necessarily greater than him, she has only studied with Master Zou for less than a month, and she has never fought against anyone.
She recalled the young lady's trusting gaze, took a deep breath, and threw the flat pole on the ground:
"Why don't you leave, do you still want to be beaten!"
A clear voice exploded right in front of you.
Zhou's first reaction was...... Take a step back.
He was so angry that his face turned red, but after many years of hard study experience and the demeanor of a scholar, he had no idea of doing it at all, let alone with a girl's family, winning and losing were embarrassed.
He brushed his sleeves away.
Call...... Yueping stuck out her tongue, quickly locked the courtyard door, and went back to the house to report the good news.
This incident also made the little girl realize that this old man is a paper tiger, as long as you are bold, he will not dare to do anything to you.
……
After Zhou Guo went home today, he was dragged by Yiyi and cried, which blinded her with tears, and now she is thinking about helping her - isn't it just to make up money to hire a doctor, and what about the best doctor in Changxiu County, it is nothing more than spending a few more money.
He also thought that it would be inconvenient for Yiyi's orphans and widows to send He Erya to the hospital, so he would simply ask for more money and let the doctor come to see him, and Yiyi would definitely be happier.
But Guo didn't let him into the courtyard......
As soon as the wind blew on the winter night, Zhou Shi's anger just now gradually cooled, and he suddenly clapped his hands, by the way, Guo's family has been in the house all day, and she must know about Yi Yiniang's entry into the house to ask for help.
Therefore, she didn't see herself because she was not willing to help Yiyi.
If she is not willing to help, it means that she is still jealous!
This woman must have valued him and cared about him.
Hmph, that Nizi named Yueping, eighty percent would be wrong about her, and she dared to do something to him, wait, he will definitely be taught a lesson by the Guo family when he goes back, he will wait!
Zhou Jing blew the back of his red and swollen hand, thinking viciously.
As he walked, he habitually returned to the outside of Yiyi's courtyard, with a lamp in front of him, a warm yellow candle flame, and the side shadow of Yiyi's weeping tears was printed on the window paper.
Zhou Guo paused, and after thinking about it, no, he couldn't get the silver from the Guo family this time, and it was not good to tell Yiyi when he went back.
We have to find a way.
In the entire Zhou family, there are three people who can get him money: Zhou's mother, Guo's and Xiang's sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Xiang can't touch the account book, and Guo doesn't help him, so he has to go to see his mother.
Zhou Guo found Zhou's mother, and finally took out forty taels of silver from her hand, which should be enough to pay for the diagnosis, and the rest of the medicine is not a problem.
Of course, he didn't dare tell the truth.
The old lady and Guo Shi don't like it, in comparison, she is closer to the sweet-mouthed Yiyi, but in front of money, his son sometimes has to lean back.
Zhou's excuse was to invite an official to eat and drink and discuss poetry, and if he had talked well enough and received a few kind words, he might have been able to get a position earlier.
Zhou's mother considered the gains and losses, and hesitantly took out the silver from the bottom of the box and gave it to him, and told him that he must pay it back when he developed in the future.
He said yes, and as soon as he went back, he threw the silver to Yiyi proudly.
Bathed in Yiyi's adoring gaze, Zhou was very proud, he flipped her over on the bed, Yiyi half-pushed, his eyes were like water, and stretched out his arms to wrap him in it......
Another night of hustle and bustle.
……
The next day, Aunt He was invited over by Yiyi, she didn't enter the house, the two completed the handover at the back door, and said goodbye in a hurry.
Lan Shuying has seen the plot and knows the follow-up: These silver are enough to ask for a doctor, but the problem is that the doctor came but couldn't cure it. Later, Aunt He believed in the Taoist priest who passed by, and wanted to do a spiritualist ritual for He Erya.
At that time, she will still come to her eldest daughter to ask for money.
"Go and send a message to Madame Du and tell her...... Do you remember clearly? Lan Shuying patiently combed her long hair, and turned back to confirm with Yueping.
"Eh, remember clearly, slave will go!"
It's not a big deal, she just wants to add fuel to the fire.
As the old saying goes, "it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones", but Sister-in-law Xiang's injuries are bitter in the flesh and skin, and they don't hurt the muscles and bones.
She is still in Zhou's mother's yard and doesn't leave, what is the picture?
It's the three hundred taels of sin silver!
Lan Shuying saw through the surveillance that Zhou's mother gave Sister-in-law Xiang a hundred taels of silver tickets that day, and there were still two hundred taels in the back.
Sister-in-law Xiang and Mother Zhou are more capable of relying on each other, let them drag on like this, the matter is not over, Lan Shuying simply pushed it forward and borrowed the energy of the government.
Today, she excused herself to be uncomfortable, so she didn't go to have breakfast with Zhou Guo's mother and son, but hurriedly solved it in her yard, and as soon as she finished eating, she heard a commotion in front of her.
Master Zou sent the girl to report to her, saying that there were a few officials from outside who wanted to see the culprit.
"She lives in the old lady's courtyard, and the servants are all big men, and they are not allowed to trespass in the inner courtyard. In this way, you go and talk to the old lady, and ask her to send people out quickly, so as not to delay other people's errands. Lan Shuying said lightly.
Yueping and the servants came to the door one after the other, and she ran back with small steps: "Miss, Mrs. Du said that she must be allowed to leave Changxiu County today!" ”
"Very good."
Lan Shuying pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was looking at the tea leaves floating in the cup, but in fact, she was watching the scene in Zhou's mother's yard by the light of the water.
Mother Zhou and sister-in-law Xiang began to pull again.
Seeing that he was going to be expelled from the county, he insisted that Zhou's mother settle the balance now. Sister-in-law Xiang is used to being rude, she is not from Changxiu County in the first place, she can not care about her reputation, and she can't do without silver!
The other is a copper plate that can't wait to be broken in half and spend, looking for an opportunity to deduct the girls' money every day, there are a total of three hundred and fifty taels left on the account, Zhou's mother just gave Zhou some of the situation, it is when she is distressed, how can she be willing to blood again?
Therefore, under the pretext that her son wants to have a banquet, there is nothing superfluous, so she can only give her another fifty taels, and the remaining one hundred and fifty taels, and then give it when she has enough money.
Sister-in-law Xiang was very suspicious of this excuse, and the two were noisy, and gradually became angry, almost fighting in the yard.
The officials waited for a long time at the door, and their attitudes changed, and they wanted to break in.
At this time, a beautiful young woman walked out.
"You've been waiting for a long time, would you like to come in and have a cup of tea?"
The young officials looked straight, and the older officer at the head was the strongest, and arched his hand: "Thank you Madame, I only came here to run an errand, I don't know if the criminal Dong Fuxiang is in the house?" ”
The young woman nodded, and offered to take them in and get them herself.
Lan Shuying glanced at Master Zou, who followed knowingly.
The group walked towards Zhou's mother's yard.
At the same time, a thin girl walked around the corridor and ran down the path to report the news.
When Lan Shuying walked to the door with these servants, Zhou's mother happened to greet her, followed by the sister-in-law Xiang who pretended to be calm, and even the burden was laid.
I didn't look at it for a while, I don't know what agreement they reached, but they didn't fight, Lan Shuying was a little disappointed.
She turned sideways to get out of the way.
The officials sandwiched the sister-in-law in the middle, and escorted her to prepare to leave the city.
This time, unless the emperor gives amnesty to the world, or the county decree revokes the expulsion order against her, otherwise, it is against the law for Sister-in-law Xiang to come back privately, in case she is reported, not only will she be arrested and beaten, but she will also have to eat an extra month in prison.
She'll be back.
Through the unwillingness in her eyes, Lan Shuying understood this.
Mother Zhou used her body to block the little maid who reported the news, and said with a cold face: "Now you are satisfied, your relatives will also be so ruthless, and when you go home to worship your ancestors in the future, how will you let him face the villagers?" ”
To her surprise, Guo Shi saw her cold face, not only did he not admit his mistake as simply as before, but ......
Lan Shuying covered her mouth and smiled: "Where is this?" ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou's mother to speak, she floated away with a smile.
