Chapter 91: Winning the hearts and minds of people
"Of course!" An old voice suddenly sounded, and everyone immediately looked at the person who spoke, only to see Xiao Zibai carrying Old Lady Zou from far and near.
"Mother!" "Old lady!" Everyone saluted.
"Hmm." Old Lady Zou nodded.
"Mother, what are you...... Sick and cured? Zou was the first to greet him and asked happily.
"Yes! Mother, when were you well? Xiao Zhirui also ran over and said.
Mrs. Zou can be said to be the biggest backer in their second room, so seeing that she has recovered, they are naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"Just these two days." Old Mrs. Zou said. Then she turned her gaze to Xiao Zhiyuan, who was standing: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen as soon as I came out of the mansion." It's ridiculous! She raised her voice suddenly, and Xiao Zhiyuan and the others immediately lowered their heads.
Old Mrs. Zou continued: "The dignified and loyal Marquis Mansion was actually played by a charlatan, and he was wronged and smeared the concubine in the mansion! If this spreads, where will their faces go? Her expression was faint: "Old man, what do you say?" You recruited this liar twice. ”
Bai Huaping hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Mother is angry, all this is the daughter-in-law's fault!" It was the daughter-in-law who didn't know people clearly, which made such a big joke. ”
Xiao Yixian's sisters also knelt down to plead for their mother: "Grandmother, my mother was also blinded!" ”
"Hoodwinked?" Old Lady Zou sneered: "If she doesn't want to pretend to be a ghost and go to the right way, how can she let people take advantage of the loopholes!" ”
"Grandmother, my mother also saw that your illness was not good, so she wanted to try this method, and she is also a filial piety!" Xiao Yixian said.
"So, then I have to blame this old woman!"
Xiao Yixian was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head: "That's not what my granddaughter meant. ”
"Humph!" Mrs. Zou said coldly: "If she really cares about me as an old woman, she should go to my Qingshou Hall from time to time to serve, and it would be better to ask me a few more doctors, instead of looking for someone to pretend to be a ghost here!" Are you really so sick that I don't know anything? Everyone, you said that you were worried about me, so I want to ask you, how many times did you go to see me during my illness? ”
Hearing this, Bai Huaping's face suddenly turned red and white. Since Mrs. Zou was diagnosed with smallpox, she was afraid of being infected, so she didn't usually go to Qingshoutang, even if she went once in a while, it was just a greeting from a distance outside the door.
Now Mrs. Zou will tell this matter directly, but she will not leave her any affection.
"Daughter-in-law....... Daughter-in-law......" Bai Huaping couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhiyuan pleadingly, hoping that he could speak for himself. But at this glance, her heart was completely cold, Xiao Zhiyuan didn't seem to look at her from beginning to end, and she looked like she didn't care about herself, which made her lips bite and turn white.
"Grandmother~" The Xiao Yixian sisters wanted to say something, but Mrs. Zou didn't give them a chance to speak.
"And you, ask from your heart, how many times have you been to Qingshoutang during this time?"
Hearing this, Sister Xiao Yixian also lowered her head. In fact, they have not been there once, one is because they are afraid of infection, but because they are not close to Mrs. Zou in the first place, so why should they be courteous at this time?
Seeing this, Mrs. Zou closed her eyes, and her heart was a little cold. She said: "The third sister still thinks about me as an old woman, and goes to see me from time to time, so I get better so quickly." Boss, this is a child with filial piety! ”
Xiao Zhiyuan looked at Xiao Yiran in some surprise, he didn't know about it.
Xiao Zibai, who had been holding Mrs. Zou on the side, also spoke at this time: "Cousin Yiran has often come to visit me during this time. If it weren't for the medicine she made, my grandmother and I wouldn't have gotten better so quickly. ”
"What medicine?" Xiao Zhiyuan asked.
Xiao Yiran explained lightly: "It is a medicine that specializes in the treatment of smallpox. It was also developed some time ago, because I was not sure how effective the medicine was, so I tried it on Zibai's cousin first, and then saw that he was recovering well, so I went to use it for my grandmother. Now it seems that the efficacy of this drug is still good. ”
"You've got a heart." Old Lady Zou said softly.
"That's what a granddaughter should do." Xiao Yiran lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.
Old Mrs. Zou nodded with satisfaction, turned her head to Xiao Zhiyuan and said, "Just because she cured me and Zibai's illness, she is by no means unknown, but the lucky star of our house!" Zhiyuan, you have to compensate this daughter, after all, she is your daughter-in-law. She accentuated her tone in the last two words, in order to remind Xiao Zhiyuan to look at Chu Rou, who had already gone.
Xiao Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and said: "This matter is something that my son did wrong, don't worry, no one will say that Ran'er is a person with an unknown fate in the future." Besides, I'll definitely deal with that Taoist priest well after that. ”
"Hmm." Old Lady Zou bowed, and then glanced at the kneeling white painting screen on the ground: "Bai Shi, even if you are deceived in this matter today, I don't want to pursue it." However, if you are at fault after all, you will be punished for copying five volumes of the scriptures, will you accept it? ”
"Daughter-in-law, thank you mother for forgiveness." Bai Huaping gritted his teeth and thanked him.
Unexpectedly, he lost his wife and soldiers today, not only did he let Xiao Yiran, a cheap girl, escape, but he was also punished for it. Why did you plant yourself in the hands of this cheap girl three times or twice? She is not reconciled!
Xiao Yixian was also unwilling, she thought that she could use this to drive Xiao Yiran back to the suburbs, but why did they suffer in the end!
"Okay, it's getting late today...... Xiao Zhiyuan just wanted to say something to finish, but Xiao Yiran suddenly said at this time: "Father! ”
Xiao Zhiyuan looked at her.
"My daughter has one more thing to ask for."
"What?"
Xiao Yiran said: "There are many other people who have smallpox in this house, and now my medicine is effective for people who are more seriously ill like Cousin Zibai, and it is no problem to cure others." Therefore, I hope that you will approve me to go to the treasury and pick up more herbs for making this medicine, make a little more, and distribute them to everyone in the house who has smallpox. ”
Hearing her say this, without waiting for Xiao Zhiyuan to speak, Mrs. Zou first said: "This disease also started with us, so this is how it should be." Go and get it from the storehouse, and if you don't have it in the storeroom, I'll pay for it for you." ”
Xiao Zhiyuan hurriedly smiled and said: "How can you ask my mother to break the bank, don't worry, I will ask someone to open the warehouse and send things to Ran'er in a while, and if you don't have the medicinal materials, you will find someone to buy them outside the house." ”
"Hmm." Mrs. Zou was satisfied, she said this just to wait for Xiao Zhiyuan's words.
In addition to the master, most of the other people who get smallpox in this house are small maids, and the subordinates are often related to each other, and now when they hear Xiao Yiran say this, they are all happy.
After all, they are not like Mrs. Zou, who can afford to take medicine and see diseases, so they can't complain about their masters when they get this kind of thing, they can only wait for death. Now that it can be cured, where will I not be excited? They all missed Xiao Yiran and Mrs. Zou for their kindness.
