This time, Su Xiangui called again, and Sophie ran in, took the basin in Su Jinyao's hand, and said, "I really saw my father's eccentricity." I washed his feet, face, and socks every day, and he didn't say he wouldn't let me do it. You just washed his feet once, and he shouted back and forth twice. Called me and the city to it. If we don't come again, I'm afraid we'll be beaten. ”

Su Jinyao was embarrassed to be said, laughed twice with "hehe", and said, "Eldest sister has really worked hard." ”

"Okay, I'm not hard. Go back and rest. Sophie finished and walked away with the basin and socks inside.

Su Jinyao picked up the small box, and then remembered that she made money selling mirrors today. Hurriedly turned around and put the box down, sat down on the edge of the kang and said, "Dad, I want to discuss something with you." ”

Su Xiangui said: "What's the matter? Talking to Dad, do you still need to discuss? Say it, Dad agrees. ”

"I don't know if my father heard about the Li family's separation today?" After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she saw that Su Xiangui nodded, and then continued: "Dad also knows that I was present when the Li family separated. And the reason for the Li family's separation is the bride price of five taels of silver that Chunniu's mother's family wanted. I saw that Chunniu was really embarrassed, and she and Siping really wanted to be together, so I wanted to help Chunniu raise this money. ”

"What? Jinyao, you mean that you promised to help Chun Niu raise five taels of silver?!! Su Xiangui was startled, his body stiffened, and asked, "Do you know how much five taels of silver is?" Even our broken house may not be worth five taels of silver. ”

"Dad, don't worry. I just wanted to ask you, if I can raise so much money, can I lend the money to Chun Niu? After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she looked at Su Xiangui with a straight face.

Su Xiangui was surprised and didn't come back to his senses, but looking at Su Jinyao's firm eyes, he nodded and said, "Jinyao, my father knows that you are affectionate and righteous, so if you agree to others, do your best." But don't be bitter about yourself, if you really can't do it, our family can help as much as we can, and Dad will definitely not say anything. ”

"Dad, I just asked what you mean, in fact, this money ...... I'm almost done. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she took off the money bag on her body and handed it to Su Xiangui.

Su Xiangui looked at the small money bag in Su Jinyao's hand with a puzzled expression, and then took it suspiciously and weighed it. The weight of the money bag was not very heavy, or it could be said that it was much lighter than the bag of copper plates that were taken before. But when the silver presses the hand, the feel is different.

So Su Xiangui weighed it a little, and his face changed. Throwing away the money bag, he grabbed Su Jinyao's arm and asked urgently: "Jinyao, we can be enthusiastic to help others, but we can't sell ourselves to help other people's families count the money." You can't do anything that is out of your heart and conscience to make money. Where did you get all this money? ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "Dad, don't worry." It is possible that I sold others, but I will not sell myself, and no one can sell me. This is a small business that I did today with the capital you gave, and of course I was a little lucky, so I found a way, so the business was not bad, and I made so much silver. I did the math, it's almost five taels, and I almost estimate that I will be able to raise it all next time. I agreed with Chunniu that I would give her the money before the end of this month, and there are still a few days to go, so it's too late. ”

Su Xiangui was actually stunned all the time and hadn't reacted yet. It wasn't until Su Jinyao finished speaking that he nodded and said, "Oh, okay, then you can keep this silver." Jinyao, you must be careful, don't suffer yourself and lose yourself. ”

Su Jinyao agreed, took out a few pieces of broken silver from the money bag, and there were more than one or two pieces of silver together. It was handed over to Su Xiangui's hand and said, "Dad, this is the capital you gave me when I went out in the morning, and now I will return it to you with interest." I'll take the rest, and I'll go back and make up enough five taels to lend to Chunniu together. The money you earn will be handed back to you. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao also put the small money bag in Huanghuali's small box, got up and picked up the box and prepared to leave.

It wasn't until Su Jinyao came out of the door that Su Xiangui came back to his senses. looked at the two pieces of silver in his hand, and was stunned again. Thinking to myself that I was dreaming? Or did you hear it wrong?

Jin Yao seems to say that she has collected about five taels of silver in one day? How can you listen to her meaning, it seems that she has earned five taels of silver in addition to this principal?

Su Xiangui was stunned, but he could see that the silver in his hand was real. Hurriedly stopped Su Jinyao and said, "Jinyao, dad ask again, are you ...... You really didn't do anything bad? ”

"Dad, don't worry. Don't steal, don't rob, don't kidnap people, don't kill people and set fires, that's all right? There is also not selling yourself, not laughing. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she grimaced at Su Xiangui and left with a smile.

Su Xiangui sighed at this time, but then breathed a sigh of relief. silently looked at the back of the door leaving, and muttered: "Ying Niang, Jin Yao, she has really grown up, and she is so capable, is it your spirit in the sky that blesses you?" It's a pity that I'm with you...... After all, there is no fate. ”

Su Jinyao came out of Su Xiangui's house with a smile, and Su Fei'er was still washing clothes in the yard. Dad's socks had already been washed and dried, and now she washed Xiaocheng'er's pants.

Su Jinyao went out and saw it, so she said, "Ah, the fabric I bought for you hasn't been made yet." After a few busy days, I sent it to do. ”

Sophie smiled and said, "Okay, don't worry, it's still far from the New Year." After speaking, Su Fei'er saw the small box that Su Jinyao was holding, her eyes shrank, and asked, "That's not ...... Daddy's box in the house? Daddy gave it to you? ”

"Ah, it's something left by my mother. It's a codex written by my mother, and it seems that most of it was when I was a child. I don't remember being with my mother, but my father asked me to take a look, and it can be regarded as a thought. Su Jinyao didn't think much about it after speaking, and went back to the house with the box.

She wanted to turn through the codex, because the first few pages were indeed written by her mother to Yao'er. But there seems to be other content in the back, but I didn't read much at the time.

But Su Jinyao entered the house with a small box, and Sophie's eyes were still glazed. looked at Su Xiangui's house again, smiled helplessly, pursed his lips again, and sighed.

Su Jinyao returned to the house, lit the oil lamp, took out the book from the small box and opened it again. This time, she skipped the front part first, and instead flipped to the back, intending to read all the contents of the book and find the main point.

When you turn to the middle section, a hand-drawn human figure is revealed. Su Jinyao was stunned, and then her heart tightened again.

Su Jinyao didn't stop, and continued to flip down, and there were some simple drawings and annotations behind, some of which were acupuncture points, some of which were muscles and bones, and blood veins of various parts of the head, hands, and feet. There are also a few small pictures, which can't be seen to be anything at first glance, but Su Jinyao can see that they should be a sketch of the human internal organs.

Su Jinyao understood that this was a medical book. Because Chinese medicine is different from Western medicine, it is natural to focus on acupuncture points and do not know much about anatomy. Therefore, the understanding of human organs is far less thorough than that of Western medicine, and the natural drawing is not so accurate.

And the medical book in his hand, although it only has a brief organ pattern, is not just confined to the form of traditional Chinese medicine, which is already an extremely rare breakthrough.

Most importantly, there is an introduction to herbs and the secret methods of several recipes. Seeing this, Su Jinyao's mood became even more excited, and she finally understood why Father Gao kept asking her mother if she had anything left.

It seems that the mother is indeed a hidden woman, and her skills are now integrated into this medical book codex.

Su Jinyao took a few deep breaths before she could calm down and read the book again. Because the excitement before really made her mind a little messy. Now if you look at it from the beginning, you can understand that the three parts of this book are all very important to me.

The first is to introduce the human body, veins, muscles and bones; Then the pulse and heart rate, breathing, and how to diagnose the condition by the pulse; Then there is the explanation about medication. What kind of herbs correspond to what diseases are not detailed, but some important things to pay attention to, what herbs and what medicines will interact, good and bad, are recorded in detail.

In other words, the focus of this codex is on medical skills, and the dozens of secret recipes that follow are also extremely useful miracle recipes. As for the knowledge of herbal medicine, if you need it, you can find books about herbal medicine, or go to the pharmacy to buy medicinal materials directly into the medicine.

Su Jinyao's memory is outstanding, and her ability to understand and comprehend is also amazing. So she read it carefully from front to back, and she already knew a fur.

Although she is not so magical that she can comprehend the entire medical book in one night, it is much easier to get a little more after a cursory understanding of a fur. In addition, the last part of the book provides a detailed summary of the secret recipes of each formula and the treatment methods for certain diseases, so that Su Jinyao seems to be able to come into contact with many representative cases at one time, and her understanding of this book is deepened.

After Su Jinyao read the whole book from beginning to end three times, she actually heard the sound of a rooster crowing. Before you know it, a night has passed.

Su Jinyao yawned, blew out the oil lamp, and then lay on the bed with her clothes and rested for a while.

When I was a killer before, it was common for me to ambush for three days and three nights, so this time I occasionally didn't sleep all night, and Su Jinyao just rested for about an hour and woke up.

Su Jinyao got up and stretched, not feeling so sleepy, but feeling a hundred times more energetic because she got this medical book. Just as he was about to go out, he heard a knock on the door and a question from Xiao Cheng'er: "Second sister, are you up?" The eldest sister said you didn't sleep very late? ”

"Yes, up." Su Jinyao agreed to open the door, and Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly came in and said, "Second sister, what's wrong?" Was it too tired to go into the city yesterday, or did you forget to turn off the lights at night? I'm not sorry for the lamp oil money, I'm sorry for you. ”

Seeing that Xiao Cheng'er was so nervous, Su Jinyao touched his head and said, "It's okay, the second sister is just reading." ”

"What book? I'll take a look. "Xiaocheng'er is quite interested in learning, so as soon as I heard that there were books to read, I squeezed in.

Su Jinyao thought about it and felt that it was better not to let more people know about her mother's medical skills. If this is not a big deal, there is no need for Su Xiangui to hide it all the time, and Father Gao will not take advantage of the night to quietly ask about the things left by his mother.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao said: "Oh, it's the "Manuscript of Poems" that I brought back before. Although the poems in it are written very ordinary, the words still rhyme, so I want to sort it out, and I will tell you how to write poems and make pairs. ”

"Second sister, you bothered so much for me. Don't do this in the future, what a lot of eyes. You advised me not to stay up late to read, but you can't do it yourself. Second sister, I blame you for pushing you hard, always letting you teach me this and that. In the future, I won't be in such a hurry, I will first memorize the three-character scripture and the thousand-character text, write it, and then come to you to ask about the others. ”

Seeing Xiao Cheng'er's self-blame on his face, Su Jinyao was a little unbearable. felt that he was lying to make Xiao Cheng'er worried, so he hurriedly said: "It's none of your business, it's also the second sister who wants to learn more." There is no end to learning, I am afraid that I will be surpassed by you, so I know that I have to work hard. Don't worry, the second sister won't stay up late to read in the future. ”

Su Jinyao assured that Xiaocheng'er was relieved. Then he said, "The eldest sister has already made breakfast, you can come and eat it quickly." Dad just asked me not to quarrel with you, saying that if you get up late, you don't have to go out, and you can rest at home for a day. ”

After Xiao Cheng'er finished speaking, he took a basin of water in Su Jinyao's house and went out, fetched a basin of water and came back to wash Su Jinyao's face, and then went out with Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao said: "The second sister is not in town today, I have something to do with Chunniu, it is estimated that in more than a day, the two of them should also move." You can take me to the Li family's old mansion in a moment. ”

Xiao Cheng'er said: "Yesterday I moved. I heard that Uncle Siping and Aunt Chunniu moved back and forth two or three times, but only the two of them moved, and no one else helped. When I came back, I heard about it, and I went over to look at it and helped them set up the tables and chairs. ”

Su Jinyao actually knew that this would be the case, and the Li family would not take more care of Siping and Chunniu. Let them take their things and move them out, which is already considered kind. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if you find a reason, you will drive them out at will.

Su Jinyao looked at Xiaocheng'er again and praised: "It's right." People who are really in difficulty can help if they can. However, some white-eyed wolves, not only don't help, but also make up for it when they see it, so that this wolf will not bite you back if they have the opportunity in the future. ”

Saying that, Su Jinyao told the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf to Xiao Cheng'er again. Xiao Cheng'er listened very attentively, and after listening, he said: "Second sister, I understand, I won't learn from Mr. Dongguo in the future, and I can't be kind to wolves." ”

As she spoke, Sophie came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket of swill and said, "Okay, where are the wolves?" Let's eat. ”

Su Jinyao entered the kitchen with Xiao Cheng'er and picked up the food on the table and ate it.

After the meal, Su Jinyao and Su Xiangui informed, and followed Xiaocheng'er to Chunniu's current home.

Su Jinyao only heard a sentence when the Li family split up the day before, and knew that the Li family's old mansion had not been lived in for many years. It was only when I came to the back of the big locust tree at the head of the village with Xiaocheng'er and saw the old house that I realized how decisive the Li family was.

This old house is really "old", and the roof is still thatched, but it is not a color thatch. Dark-colored grass is old, and light-colored grass is new. The old thatch has been on the roof for a long time, and it is going to become moldy and damp, so the new grass roof will be replaced before the beginning of spring or winter every year to avoid rain leakage in summer and wind in winter.

However, the roof of the grass is of different colors, and it should not have been completely changed, but some new grass was added to the leaky place, so that the rain could barely let the rain into the house. But such a room, in addition to being damp, must also be ventilated everywhere.

Unless the whole roof of the house is removed and replaced with new thatch or tiles, so that it will not leak during the rainy season. However, after such repairs, it is necessary to hire workers and buy materials, and the price must not be less.

Look at the bamboo fence again, there are many places where a dog can drill through the holes; The courtyard gate is quite upright, not so tattered that it falls off the edge, lacks a corner or anything. But when I got closer, I found that the courtyard door was not on the door frame at all, and the folding pages were all embroidered, but the two door panels were poked there, and I don't know what was used to resist it, so as not to fall down.

Su Jinyao stepped forward, had to be careful when she stretched out her hand to knock on the door, and then shouted, "Chunniu, are you at home?" I'm Jinyao. ”

"It's here, it's coming soon." Chun Niu agreed and ran out of it. I saw that Chun Niu was wrapped in a blue cloth headscarf on her head, the clothes on her body were old and dusty, and even her shoes were a pair of men's loose shoes that were about to break.

Su Jinyao has never seen such a spring girl, the last time she saw her being pushed in the muddy water, she was the most embarrassed, but she was also wearing a new dress. After all, she is still a little daughter-in-law who has just been married for a long time. But what's going on today?

Su Jinyao's surprised eyes made Chun Niu smile, and she hurriedly took down the flat pole against the door inside, and moved the door panel away, letting Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er enter the courtyard. He said, "Aren't I working?" Wearing new clothes was also dirty, and I was afraid that I would be scratched by a nail or stubble, so I changed into an old dress that I used to wear at my mother's house, and these shoes were also worn by Siping when he went to the ground before. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "I thought you lost all your good clothes this time you moved." ”
