Chapter 121: Changing Grass (5)
After hearing Xing Ruyi's words, the owner of Qiao Zhuang sent the housekeeper to the village to ask around. This question really gave a clue to the question.
There is a bastard surnamed Qiao in Zhuangzi, who is nicknamed Qiao Mazi because of some pockmarks on his face. This Qiao Mazi has no other skills, so he has a mouth that can speak, and he is especially good at coaxing people. Before this happy lady married Qiao Feng, she was very close to this Qiao Mazi, and no one could tell how close it was.
But some people have seen this bride have been in and out of Qiao Mazi's house many times, and she has also said some flirtatious words in front of others. However, these were all before Xi Niang married Qiao Feng. After marrying Qiao Feng, although the two of them were still a little sticky, they never did anything out of the ordinary.
Of course, this outrage refers to the surface, as for whether the two people have anything in private, others don't know.
After Xi Niang disappeared, Qiao Feng also went to find this Qiao Mazi, but this Qiao Mazi insisted that he had never seen Xi Niang, and blamed Qiao Feng for being incompetent, and he didn't even know where his mother-in-law went. Qiao Feng held back the fire in his belly, but he was an honest man, and he had no way to take this Qiao Mazi, so he could only return with a sigh of relief.
This matter of Qiao Mazi and Xi Niang, Qiao is naturally in charge of things. After getting Master Qiao's instructions, the first thing to look for was this Qiao Mazi. The so-called human spirits are all people who talk about people when they see people, and talk nonsense when they see ghosts. Although this Qiao Mazi pretended to be something in front of Qiao Feng, it could be seen that Qiao was in charge, and his waist was bent down involuntarily.
Knowing that Steward Qiao was here for the sake of the bride's business, he directly put the words out. said that when it was half a ring yesterday, Xi Niang came to look for him, and the two of them were still in the room for a while. After that, the bride said that there was something wrong and left. Before leaving, he borrowed the donkey he had tied to the yard.
"As for your broken donkey, you can't kill two taels of meat, what does Xi Niang want your donkey to do?"
"This emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how broken a donkey is, it is not a donkey. When you go out, you can still make a foot force. Qiao Mazi rolled his eyes as he spoke: "Everyone in this Zhuangzi says that Qiao Feng is better than me." Yes, I admit it, I, Qiao Mazi, am a bastard, and I am not as down-to-earth as Qiao Feng who has nothing to do all day long, and I will live. But if it is about hurting women, his ten Qiao Feng can't match one of my toes.
Why is Xi Niang willing to be with me, in addition to my mouth that can say good things and make women happy, but also because I am Qiao Mazi. As long as I Qiao Mazi has it, I can send it out without blinking my eyes.
This Qiao Feng's family has a cow, right? I remember that the cow was given to him by the owner. As for him, he is indeed better than my broken donkey, but he is stingy. On weekdays, in addition to cultivating the land, they treat the cow as an ancestor. Xi Niang makes hard-earned money by pulling the matchmaker and pulling the thread, what about this Qiao Feng? It's just that she doesn't feel distressed, and she can't even be reluctant to go out to set up an ox cart.
Tell me, in charge, if you are a bride, are you willing to follow him to live such a lukewarm life? ”
Steward Qiao's face did not change, and he only said lightly: "The old man is not a happy mother." ”
"Yes, yes." Qiao Mazi laughed with him: "Don't hide it, Xi Niang told me, and when this marriage is completed, she will be separated from the wood-like Qiao Feng, and live a long life with me." I also promised my bride that after marrying her, I would never live a messy life again. ”
"Tell me honestly, where did this bride go?"
"I really don't know this, I only know that the Lord's house is Yong'an. She asked me to borrow a donkey, I should be going to Yong'an. This Yong'an is not far away, but it is not close, plus errands, it will take at least three or five days to go back and forth. If you want me to say, Xi Niang is not missing at all, but she is too lazy to talk to that wood. Qiao Mazi pouted indifferently: "It's that wood, nothing to do, as if I'm afraid that nothing will happen to the bride." ”
"When the bride leaves the village, are there still others who see it?"
"I met a few people on the way, and they all said hello. This arbor, if you really care about the bride, how can you not know that the bride is out of the village. Qiao Mazi frowned: "Steward Qiao, you came to ask me about the bride, could it be the bride...... This arbor must have known that Xi Niang had a close relationship with me, and when he left the village, he rode my donkey, and he held a grudge, so he ...... Steward Joe, can you tell me what happened to her? ”
"Don't be impatient, the owner just sent me over to ask. As for whether the bride is missing or went to Yong'an to do business, further verification is needed. ”
Qiao Mazi secretly clenched his fists: "It's okay that Xi Niang has nothing to do, if there is something, I will definitely not be able to spare that arbor." ”
"Bastard, where are you Qiaojiazhuang, and where do you put Master Qiao. Qiao Mazi, I can warn you, if you make trouble in Qiaojiazhuang, don't say that the owner of the village can't spare you, even I won't let you go. ”
"I'm just casually saying that I can still kill that arbor. At most, at most, it is to teach him a few lessons, so that he understands that his wife is not painful, and other men are distressed. ”
"If you really like Xi Niang so much, why didn't you marry her in the first place? Nowadays, Xi Niang is the head of Qiao Feng's family, whether in this life or in death, it is all someone else's, what does it have to do with you Qiao Mazi. What's the matter, you can't get your turn to come out. In the past few days, you will give me some peace, and don't make trouble in the Zhuangzi. You also know the temper of the owner, if you are really annoyed, you will weigh the consequences yourself. ”
"The person in charge thinks that I don't want to marry, is it because the bride doesn't want to marry? It's not because of her money-hungry ex-mother-in-law that she married the bride to that arbor for a little money. This poisonous old woman is not enough to kill a daughter-in-law, but she also wants to harm Xi Niang again. If you want me to say, the deaths of her two sons are also related to the sins she has done. If it hadn't been for what she had done......"
"Shut up! The owner of the village has explained that no one is allowed to mention that incident again. Steward Joe's face darkened all of a sudden.
Qiao Mazi glanced at it and quickly closed his mouth.
learned from the mouth of Qiao Zhuang that his only daughter Qiao Yuner was not yet sixteen years old, and she was originally a well-behaved and obedient child, but after a serious illness, not only did Qiao Yuner's appearance change, but even her temperament became uncertain, which made people wonder.
The reason why the owner of Qiao Zhuang enthusiastically invited Xing Ruyi and the fox to his home was not only because of Liu Sheng's entrustment, but also because Liu Sheng had mentioned to him that Xing Ruyi was a female doctor who could see incurable diseases. Although he was skeptical, he had to give it a try, hoping that her family Yun'er was lucky, and this "disease" was really optimistic.
Although she was mentally prepared, she was still taken aback when Qiao Yun'er stood in front of Xing Ruyi. Where appeared in front of me was a girl who had not yet reached the age of sixteen and was in the prime of her youth, but an old woman who looked like she was fifty or sixty years old. Not only is his hair gray, but his face is also full of furrows and ravines, and his eyes are full of resentment and anger.
"Ahem!"
Xing Ruyi coughed twice in a row, looked back at the fox, but saw that the fox frowned slightly, ignoring her "looking back", and didn't know if she was "scared" by Qiao Yun'er in front of her, or if she was thinking about something else.
His husband is not online, so he has to rely on himself.
"I take the liberty of asking, is Miss Qiao's change in appearance really just because of an illness?"
"It's really an illness."
Qiao Yun'er didn't answer, but replied to the owner of Qiao Zhuang who was standing aside.
"Can you allow Ruyi to check the pulse of Miss?"
"Yun'er."
The owner of Qiao Zhuang gave Qiao Yun'er a color, followed the instructions to the maid, and led Qiao Yun'er to Xing Ruyi.
Although Qiao Yun'er resisted a little, she also knew that the young lady in front of her was invited by her father to diagnose her, and no matter how reluctant she was, she needed to cooperate. When she sat down, she glanced at Xing Ruyi with eyes full of anger and resentment, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "I hope you are a really capable person!" ”
"Ruyi thinks that he still has some skills, but no matter how big his ability is, he may not be able to deal with all the incurable diseases in the world." Xing Ruyi clasped Qiao Yun'er's wrist: "At this moment, what Ruyi thinks in her heart must also be what Miss thinks." The best, the lady's illness can be seen as wishful, so it is worthy of the trust of the owner and today's hospitality. ”
"You're the doctor with the most nonsense Miss Ben has ever seen."
"That's probably because Miss Qiao, the people you met before were all male doctors."
Xing Ruyi smiled faintly, and the fingers on Qiao Yun'er's wrist used a little strength. Qiao Yun'er twisted her eyebrows and groaned in pain, but she didn't say anything more.
"How??"
"Ruyi needs to confirm with the owner again, did Miss Qiao really change her face because of an illness?"
"Yes......"
"Master Qiao, you'd better think clearly before answering. Otherwise, even if Ruyi is Hua Tuo alive, there is nothing to be done about Miss's condition. The healer must know what the root cause of the disease is. ”
"Dare to ask Madame, but what has happened?"
"Naturally, something was diagnosed, otherwise Ruyi would not have asked Qiao Zhuang what Fang Cai said."
"What's wrong with that?" Master Qiao stammered.
"If the owner wants to know, it's best to tell the truth. If the owner is embarrassed, there is no need to ask Ruyi what has been diagnosed. Because even if Ruyi said it, it would be useless for the owner. Xing Ruyi said, and added: "Actually, the owner of the village is clear in his heart, isn't he?" ”
"Yun'er, she ......," Qiao Zhuang wanted to speak and stopped.
"At this time, Dad still doesn't want to say?" Qiao Yun'er pointed to her face: "If it weren't for Daddy's greed, how could Yun'er be like this?" ”
"Yun'er......" Qiao Zhuang asserted and opened his mouth.
"Madame doesn't have to be in the clinic!" Qiao Yun'er stood up: "The so-called father's debt is repaid by the son, the father has no son, and all the cause and effect will naturally be borne by my daughter." The doctors have already said that Yun'er's disease cannot be cured by ordinary people. No matter how hard Yun'er is, it's only for a year or two. After waiting for these two years, Yun'er will naturally be relieved. ”
Qiao Yun'er said and smiled bitterly: "It's just that if Yun'er goes over there, I don't know if my mother can still recognize Yun'er." ”
