Chapter 081: Safflower Drink (23)
"The slave knows who it is." The new aunt suddenly spoke.
"What did you say?" Xing Ruyi didn't hear clearly, and looked at the fluttering shadow of the new aunt.
She was trapped in the painting scroll by Bai Yu's spell, and was absorbed by the people in the painting A lot of ghost energy, although she was rescued, but the ghost energy was injured, if she couldn't return to the underworld in time, it would disappear in this yang world.
"The slave knows who wants to kill the slave." The new aunt's face was gloomy: "I originally thought that the slave family had become fellow travelers with them, and they still had his blood in their stomachs. Whether it is for the relationship between the two parties or the face of the child in the womb, the slave family will help them keep it secret, and they will treat the slave family well. Now it seems that the slave family is thinking about things too simply. ”
"Who are they?"
"The master of the Wang family and the father of the child in the womb of the slave family. Who is the master of the Wang family, there is no need to say this from the slave family. This other person, the slave family only knows the surname Wu, and has some in-law relationship with the Li family of the current dynasty. It is said that it is also possible to walk sideways in Luoyang City. ”
"Surname Wu?" Xing Ruyi thought about it carefully, and in Luoyang City, it seemed that there was no "Wu" surname that could walk sideways.
"Koutian Wu, or that Wu?"
He talked to the slave family about Kou Tianwu, but these men, when facing these women from the slave family, may not be true. It's just true or fake, what the slave family wants is not the glory after his surname, but his willingness to treat the slave family wholeheartedly, so that the slave family can have a support for the rest of their lives. ”
"Right now, it seems like you're the one you trusted."
"Madame is right, the slave family is really clumsy, and in the end he recognized the wrong person and mistakenly entrusted him for life."
The new aunt lowered her head and stroked her belly.
"It's just a dead slave family, and you shouldn't even be burdened by the child in this womb. That's it, the twists and turns of this life are finally coming. I wish there would be no more future lives, no more suffering. ”
"If you suffer in this life, it may not be bad in the next life. New aunt, why are you so persistent. ”
"The slave family is timid, and the slave family is afraid." The new aunt raised her injured eyes: "There is something that the slave family wants to tell Madame." ”
"That's what you just said, helping them hide it, right?"
The new aunt nodded and told all the secrets buried in her heart. When the last sentence was finished, her soul also died.
The haunting of the Wang family has finally come to an end, and the doubts that were in Xing Ruyi's heart have been solved one by one. It's just that the ending made her a little unhappy.
The decoration of the inn was finally put on the agenda, and with reference to the fox's opinion, Xing Ruyi divided the inn into two parts. On the first floor, he still did his old business and opened a chain branch of Ruyi Rouge Shop, and the shopkeeper of the original inn was the person in charge of the branch.
The store should have all the goods, or continue the previous formula, as for the purchase of raw materials, they are also handed over to the shopkeeper to be fully responsible. Fortunately, there are a lot of all kinds of raw materials in Yong'an City, and as for those rare, they can only bother their father-in-law to run errands.
On the second floor, a small pharmacy was opened. In the early stage of the opening, Xing Ruyi and the fox will personally sit for the consultation, and later, they will select the right doctor to come. This pharmacy is specially set up for the poor in the city who cannot afford to see a doctor, and in addition to the exemption of medical fees, all medicinal materials are also supplied at low prices.
In addition to the young man, Xing Ruyi also deliberately found the blind woman and brought her child back to the inn, and after the pharmacy opened, he let the child follow the doctor as an apprentice.
The deserted courtyard behind the inn was also bought by Xing Ruyi. Saying that it was a purchase, it is the same as not spending money. After the redecoration, it was used as a temporary foothold for himself and the fox in Yong'an City. If they leave, they will use this courtyard as a staff dormitory for rouge shops and pharmacies.
On the day of moving to the new house, Xiao Shengzi came with Duan Niang, accompanied by the housekeeper of the palace.
This is the first time Xing Ruyi has seen the housekeeper of the palace, and it is a little different from what he imagined. The housekeepers in my impression are mostly thin, shrewd and capable. Even if you can't see it from the outside, there will be a ray of light in your eyes. But the housekeeper in front of him looks more pampered than Xiao Shengzi, and the hand exposed outside the cuff alone doesn't look like he worked hard.
Secondly, there is his physiognomy. According to the previous statement, the housekeeper of the palace is the same age as the old man of the Wang family, but the person in front of him looks like he is over fifty years old, with wrinkles and folds on his face. If it weren't for Xing Ruyi's first notice of his hand, he would have really thought he was an old man.
"Ruyi, you and I are friends, there are some things that I won't say around the bend. This is the housekeeper of the palace here, surnamed Wu, and he was also my old friend in Luoyang earlier. He had a strange disease a while ago, and he quickly grew old for no reason.
Originally, I didn't want to bother you. But I heard that you have opened a pharmacy in this Yong'an City, and I know that your medical skills are superb and you are better at treating all kinds of incurable diseases, so I brought him over and asked you to help take a look. Let's see if there is a way to cure his strange disease of premature aging. ”
"The housekeeper of the palace, surnamed Wu? I don't know if Mr. Housekeeper is that Wu? ”
The housekeeper glanced at Xiao Shengzi and said, "Koutian Wu." ”
"Koutian Wu." Xing Ruyi got up, walked to the door, and made a gesture of please: "I Xing Ruyi can indeed cure some strange diseases, but my husband's illness can't be cured." ”
Before the housekeeper Wu could speak, Xiao Shengzi said eagerly: "Ruyi, you haven't even seen it, how can you know that you can't be cured." If you can't be cured, I'm afraid no one in the world will be able to cure this strange disease. ”
"Xiao Shengzi, you misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to help this housekeeper to see a doctor, it's not that I can't cure this strange disease, it's that this housekeeper Wu is not sincere enough and didn't really come to seek medical advice."
"What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Shengzi glanced at Steward Wu with a weak heart, but Steward Wu frowned, looked at Xiao Shengzi and asked.
"What did this female doctor call you just now?"
"Xiao Shengzi." Xing Ruyi repeated: "What, is there something wrong with my name?" That's what I've called him since many years ago. ”
"Is Shanda allowed too?"
Steward Wu's brows furrowed directly, and his eyes looked at Xing Ruyi a little more probing.
"Old friends, old friends for many years." Xiao Shengzi explained: "When I met Ruyi, I was not the current Sheng Daren, just an inconspicuous little catcher in Luoyang City. You know all about my past. It's just that you don't know Ruyi. ”
"What about him? Does he know this wishful girl too? ”
"I've seen it too."
Xiao Shengzi gave an ambiguous answer. As for him, Xing Ruyi doesn't need to ask, and he knows who it is.
"If Mr. Butler wants to see a doctor as he wishes, please tell the truth, if you don't want to see it, the door is here, and Mr. can leave at any time. Also, don't try to use your identity as a gentleman to suppress Ruyi. You can ask Xiao Shengzi, is my Xing Ruyi the kind of person who will be afraid? ”
"My surname is Wu, the martial that everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows. What else does Madame want to ask? ”
"It's nothing, but all strange diseases have a source, and it can't really be for no reason. Mr. Butler, can you tell me the truth? ”
"I think my wife has heard about the affairs of our Wang family. I am the housekeeper in the house, and the affairs of the three ladies before were also handled by me. Speaking of which, this thing is also a bit strange. When I was buried that day, one of my jade stones was accidentally hung in the grave. I was in a hurry, so I didn't care about anything, so I jumped down first. At that time, the coffin of the third lady had also been put in, and when she got up, her forehead accidentally hit the coffin and scratched some skin. When I returned to the house, the broken skin was painful and itchy, and within a few days, the surroundings changed. ”
The butler said, touching his forehead.
"First of all, the skin around the broken skin loosened a lot, and then the wrinkles and folds on the face became more and more day by day. And then, I became what I am now. ”
"Skin damage causes premature facial aging, and it seems that Mr. Butler's disease is indeed strange."
"I heard Master Sheng mention Madame earlier, saying Madame, you are well-informed, but I don't know that my strange illness can be cured by Madame?"
"Where the earliest injuries are, I'm going to see first."
Xing Ruyi said and approached the butler. The butler looked down and pointed to the right corner of his forehead. When Xing Ruyi approached, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Xing Ruyi's body.
"Ahem!" Xiao Shengzi coughed on the side, "Butler." ”
The butler lowered his head, and his gaze fell to the ground. But that scene did not escape the eyes of anyone at the scene, and the fox was even more annoyed. Although through the eyes of this housekeeper, he knew that he was not a good person, but he did not expect that he would dare to peep at his wife's snow-white neck in front of him, and even slipped away to other places with his obscene gaze.
The fox thought that it was time to take off the butler's eyes and wash them. Without further ado, he will go to Wang's house again tonight.
The housekeeper didn't know what the fox was thinking, and if he knew, he would definitely regret Fang Cai's actions, and he would definitely explain it in public. The reason why he fixed his eyes on Xing Ruyi's body was that in addition to the snow on her skin, more importantly, he saw something hanging around his neck.
It was the same thing he had given to someone else.
"Your strange illness is indeed caused by this wound." Xing Ruyi clapped his hands and took half a step back: "It's a pity that Mr. Housekeeper's words are also true and false." You didn't tell the whole story. The wound on your forehead is indeed touched, and it is indeed abrasion, but it is not touched by the coffin, but by a branch that grows next to the grave. ”
As soon as Xing Ruyi finished speaking, the housekeeper's face changed. He lowered his voice and asked, "How does Madame know?" ”
"It's very simple, because I've seen that kind of tree."
