Chapter 42 Ten Taels of Silver
Liu Cailian is not a fuel-efficient lamp: "Why does Aunt Seven dare to be an elder?" The more Qi Yunshu didn't recognize her, the more energetic she became, and she used her imagination to make up a scene of Qi Yunshu and Zhao Jingkeng Xu's family, as vivid as she wanted.
"We don't know that Dr. Huang at all, what you say is groundless!" Qi Yunshu was a little speechless, if it weren't for them, where would she know this Doctor Huang and Doctor Green?
But Liu Cailian lives extremely selfishly, once she decides in her heart that she doesn't want to listen to others' justifications at all, she and Zhao Liangtian also saw two prescriptions, and she naturally understands the similarities, so she insists that Qi Yunshu is teaming up with the surnamed Huang to seek Xu's wealth.
At the same time, she made up her mind in her heart, although she had silver, but this time it was obviously a pit, so she would never be so generous to give silver, otherwise she would be cheap and hated Qi Yunniang!
Qi Yunshu couldn't tell her, and remembered that she was a pregnant woman, lest she say a few more words, and she staged a "bitter meat trick" to make them unable to get out, so she raised her feet and turned around and left.
Later, Xu Shi lifted the coarse cloth curtain and came out to see the three of them confronting each other under the eaves, glared at Qi Yunshu with a cold face, and beckoned Liu Cailian to enter.
The curtain was lowered, and Qi Yunshu also heard Xu muttering: "What do you say to them outside, you can't give them a good face, hum......"
"Don't worry, I didn't say anything, Aunt Seven is also kind to her father-in-law!"
"Hey, who is rare, if you really care, it is only right to take out the silver on your body and give him medicine!" In Xu's eyes, only silver is the dearest!
Qi Yunshu went back to the house and took a turn and touched the broken clay jar under the bedpost.
There were only ten taels of silver in it, she thought about Zhao Jing going to the examination institute, ten taels was the cost of the guarantee, but thinking that Zhao Dajia treated them well on weekdays, she took five taels back, took half of it and handed it to Zhao Jing.
"I don't have much here, but Aunt Tian generously gave me more money, plus seven seven or eight rewards, and now I ...... Big brother, let's use it first! ”
Zhao Jing didn't immediately reach out to pick it up, his eyes stared at her for a moment, as if he wanted to see her true heart through her delicate face.
She was obviously reluctant, but she still took it out, which shows her kindness and knowledge.
"It's not practical...... I can go out and sell paintings......" how can he be a man with his mother's money.
"Don't, don't go to ......" Qi Yunshu thought of the time he painted Huang Yuying, and unconsciously resisted in his heart.
"I heard that the academy examination is nothing, if you go to the later township examination, the general examination, especially the palace examination, the emperor and the examiner will pay great attention to the conduct of the students, let them know that you have sold paintings many times to make a living, I am afraid it will leave a bad impression!"
Zhao Jing's heart warmed, his words were indeed right, there was a saying in the Liang Dynasty: Everything is inferior, only reading is high! The emperor was disgusted that scholars used their knowledge to shuttle through the yellow and white things.
If he wants to go further, he really can't go on like this.
"Don't worry, I have a way to make money!" Qi Yunshu pressed his hand and stuffed the silver ingot over!
Zhao Jing shook her hand with his backhand.
"Lady......" She is so affectionate, he Zhao Jing doesn't know what virtue he has accumulated in his life, and he can meet such a good wife as her, and at this moment he doesn't want to let go of her hand anymore.
His throat rolled, and he couldn't help but take her into his arms.
Qi Yunshu was taken aback by his sudden emotion, for fear that he would hurriedly push him like last time.
"Don't ...... Don't move, lady, let me hug me, just for a while! ”
Zhao Jing's voice was almost pleading, Qi Yunshu's heart softened, and when she saw that he did not move, she just hugged him properly, so she didn't struggle and just said, "I have to go out and help my eldest brother collect some medicine!" ”
Even though Xu's mother and son and Liu Cailian's behavior is not very good, Zhao Dajia has always been good to Zhao Jing, and he always stops her in time when Xu's is excessive, otherwise Zhao Jing doesn't know how much more grievances he will suffer in this family.
She only has ten taels of silver, and she has already planned for all the uses.
People must also have a degree of kindness, at least to ensure that they can protect themselves in order to help others.
Otherwise, he took out all the silver stupidly, Zhao Jingyuan is about to try, how can he make the trip without the silver?
And she doesn't know when her trip to the capital will be?
Zhao Jing looked at the sky, the rain that had been falling for most of the day finally stopped, but it must have been muddy along the way, wouldn't it be dangerous for her to go out like this.
"We don't have enough money to pay for my eldest brother's medical treatment, so we go out and dig some herbs for him, so that it will cost less. Besides, there is a medicine in that prescription that must have been after the rain! ”
"Triptobacterium?" Zhao Jing's eyes widened.
He remembered that this thing grew after rain, especially after thunder.
Qi Yunshu nodded: "It's good if you know, take me quickly, the sun will come out late and the sun will be gone!" ”
Zhao Jing looked at the wrist she was holding, his heart was complicated, sometimes he felt that she seemed to have forgotten the feud between them, he liked this feeling that she was no longer cold and violent to him.
He carefully cherished Qi Yunshu's changes, and actively led the way in front, leading her to a valley in Liuyun Mountain.
The wide lawn is covered with blue-brown moss, which is called Triptomyces.
The two of them started together, and they picked a lot.
Qi Yunshu stood at the bottom of the valley and looked ahead, the mountains and forests were jade, the green leaves were lush, and the beauty was fresh and refined.
"No wonder Mr. Bai said that fairies gather here, and it is really true!" Especially after the fresh rain in the empty mountains, the sky seems to be washed blue, and the breath is full of the fresh smell of nature.
Qi Yunshu, who was immersed in the beauty of nature, shuttled between all kinds of green leaves and flowers like a fairy in the forest, and Zhao Jing's breath was stagnant.
He didn't even dare to breathe hard, for fear of scaring her and ruining the beauty of the moment!
Seeing that he was stunned, Qi Yunshu hurriedly beckoned: "What are you doing in a daze, help me collect medicine!" She found that there were a lot of herbs to use.
Zhao Jing really led the way, and the place he came to was much better than the ravine that Zhao Sanniang brought.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not raining, the two of them waited until the sky was gray before going back.
When washing medicinal herbs in the well at the entrance of the village, he met Zhao Sanniang who came to carry water, Zhao Jing saw that she was carrying two wooden barrels on her thin shoulders, and her waist was bent down, and he couldn't bear to take it on her shoulder.
"No, little seventh brother, don't pick it, your body is not as good as mine!" Zhao Sanniang was very nervous about Zhao Jing's body.
Right now, Zhao Dajia's leg is still broken, and the family is at the time when it costs money, if Zhao Jing is sick again at this time, she can't imagine her sister-in-law who is like an iron rooster, and she is definitely unwilling to ask for a doctor for Zhao Jing.
So the best protection for him is to try to protect him from getting sick.
"It's okay, third sister, Zhao Jing has a lot of strength, just let him come!" Qi Yunshu calmly greeted Zhao Sanniang with a bamboo basket full of washed medicinal herbs.
Zhao Sanniang frowned and wanted to rob but was afraid of hurting Zhao Jing, so she returned home awkwardly along the way, and waited until Qi Yunshu unloaded the medicinal herbs, she looked surprised: "This is ...... So much, what can cure the big brother's disease? ”
Qi Yunshu picked out several items casually: "Oh, this rhubarb, Banxia for external use...... Rehmannia rehmannia, broken bones, white and elderberry ......"
She said excitedly: "Fortunately, Zhao Jinghui led the way, I picked a lot of medicinal materials that could be used for my eldest brother's injuries, and roughly calculated that I could save about half of the silver coins." ”
She was happily introducing, but saw that Zhao Sanniang's eyes darkened, as if there was something unspeakable.
But when Qi Yunshu wanted to ask, she found that her eyes were extinguished again, and she returned to a dead person-like appearance, without waves or waves.
"What's wrong with the third sister?" When Zhao Sanniang went to work in the stove room, Qi Yunshu looked at Zhao Jing.
"Something!" Zhao Jing asserted.
Qi Yunshu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw his serious look: "Anyone can see that she must have something on her mind!" She looked nervous and stopped talking, but the question was what was on her mind!
Looking at Zhao Sanniang's appearance, it seems that this matter has something to do with her, but neither of them can think of it, so they have to give up for the time being.
Qi Yunshu thought that according to Zhao Sanniang's temperament, it was better to ask directly.
"Third sister, the husband said that you have something on your mind, can you talk to me about it?"
Zhao Sanniang raised her eyes, looking at her gaze sticky and greasy with a hint of sympathy, Qi Yunshu was even more curious and asked again.
But Zhao Sanniang bit her lip and still looked unspeakable, but Qi Yunshu became more and more sure that this matter had something to do with her.
But the other party insisted on not saying it, seeing that she was in a hurry, she couldn't wait to get into Zhao Sanniang's brain and dig it out little by little.
"Third sister, I treated you with great respect after I asked the Zhao family, and I have done everything I can do on weekdays, if you really have something, you might as well tell me!" Qi Yunshu knows reason, moves with emotion.
Zhao Sanniang "sighed" and was about to say it, but suddenly looked behind Qi Yunshu, and the words that came to her mouth were swallowed back again.
"What are you doing, you are dead, there is still so much work to be done at home, and your eldest brother is injured again, you still have the heart to hide here and gossip!" Xu suddenly came in and scolded Qi Yunshu and Zhao Sanniang indiscriminately.
Zhao Sanniang was frightened and shrunk her shoulders and was forcefully pulled by Xu to Zhao Dajia's house, saying that she asked her to give the stove room to Qi Yunshu, and she went to take care of Zhao Dajia, who had a broken leg.
Qi Yunshu tilted her head and watched the figures of her sister-in-law disappear into the dim doorway, and when Zhao Sanniang was leaving, the eyes pointed to Xu's.
It seems that she did hide something related to her and the Xu family.
But what?
Qi Yunshu shook her head and sighed helplessly.
I don't think about it for the time being, and I concentrate on cleaning up the newly picked medicinal materials, baking what should be baked, and drying what should be dried......
After dealing with it, she remembered the dirt on her body, twisted the muddy water on the corner of her pants, and decided to clean herself up first.
After bathing and freshening up, I went to the stove again, and the medicine in it was almost baked.
Some of them can already be directly used in medicine, and she called Zhao Jing to take the medicinal materials to Zhao Dajia, but was glared at by Xu.
"What kind of medicinal herb are you, it's not a lie!"
She was very suspicious of Qi Yunshu's behavior, after all, she had just taken her from her when she wasn't at home......
Qi Yunshu was a little speechless, if it weren't for Zhao Dajia's affection for taking care of them, and according to her temper, she would have turned around and left.
But now she has to aggrieved herself and explain to her: "Didn't you ask people to grab the medicine before, just compare it with it?" ”
It was precisely because she considered that Xu might not use the medicine she took because she was suspicious of her, that she did not stop Xu from finding someone to catch the first medicine.
The same mountain roots, the same rehmannia, the same zhicao......
Xu's eyes widened to find out the difference between the two, but Zhao Dajia, who woke up, persuaded: "When the seventh child was sick, he was also cured by the seventh daughter-in-law, and I ...... Ahem...... I trust her medical skills! ”
The head of the family spoke again, and Xu didn't speak again, only stared at Qi Yunshu with wide eyes and applied the medicine to his wound, and then went to Zhang Luo to boil the medicine.
Zhao Jing was on the side to assist Qi Yunshu throughout the whole process, and the husband and wife had a rare tacit understanding, and in the end, Xu became the most idle and redundant person.
After a busy day, it was completely dark, Zhao Jing saw that Qi Yunshu had been busy as soon as he came back, and seeing that Zhao Dajia's son and daughter-in-law had come over, he brought the elders' shelves and asked them to continue serving.
"Seventh Uncle rest assured!" Zhao Liangtian had come to visit Zhao Dajia several times before, and he saw Zhao Jing and Yun Niang there, knowing that they were also tired, and he was quite grateful in his heart, so he bent down politely to send the two out.
On the shadow side of the candlelight, his eyes wanted to catch Qi Yunshu's gaze from time to time, but she was all turned around in two by two.
Zhao Jing may not have seen it, but Liu Cailian, who had been standing in the corner, saw it clearly.
She gritted her teeth secretly, glared at Qi Yunshu's back fiercely, and kept scolding in her heart: Slut, he has already married someone else, and he still has to talk to him!
Qi Yunshu turned around as if she had a feeling, and the eyes of the two collided in the air, stirring up layers of sparks.
"Oops......" finally ended with Liu Cailian getting angry with her stomach and crying and screaming in pain.
Xu muttered: "Alas, broom star, broom star! Daochang Liu is right, this is a big broom star entering the door! ”
"Broom Star" himself entered his room as if he was nothing.
Every time she returned to her room, she had to touch the broken jar under the bedpost.
But as soon as she put her hand in this time, her expression suddenly changed.
