Chapter 35: Don't be greedy
Fu Xiaojiu also raised his head at this time and took a good look at this man.
This man is about thirty years old, with eyebrows, triangular eyes, and big cheekbones, and he doesn't look like a good stubble.
The clothes on his body were dirty and old, and there were unpleasant smells on his body from time to time, so Fu Xiaojiuqiang endured it without frowning.
She remembered that it wasn't this man who was at the top of the queue just now, maybe this man was in second place, and she didn't notice it, right?
Fu Xiaojiu didn't think much about it, and said to the man good-naturedly: "Since you have been queuing for so long, then I'll show you." Please sit down, put your hand out, and I'll take your pulse first. ”
"Wait!"
Wan Pozi strode over at this time, if her face was covered with anger, she didn't need to speak, she could see that she was a shrew who could turn the sky upside down without reason.
Wan Pozi hung her eyes, her face was already a little angry, she came to Fu Xiaojiu's side and said directly to the man: "I saw it just now, if you want to say that you can't line up now, you must have a rule in everything." Besides, my daughter-in-law is going to eat, so come back in the afternoon! ”
As soon as he heard Mrs. Wan say this, the man immediately glared at his triangular eyes, tilted his face and crooked his mouth and said, "What? Are you afraid that I will not be able to pay for the consultation or that I will not be able to afford the medicine? ”
Wan Pozi didn't squeak, and the expression on her face was what it meant.
The man sneered, put his hand into his arms and took it out, and with a "snap", he slapped a tael of silver on the table.
It is difficult for a poor peasant household like Wan to save a tael or two of silver all year round, and suddenly saw someone come to see a doctor and take out a tael of silver, and Wan Pozi's eyes were almost straight.
Fu Xiaojiu now also knows that one or two pieces of silver in the Chen Dynasty are worth about a thousand copper coins, and he really can't see that this sloppy and arrogant-looking man is so rich!
Not only Fu Xiaojiu was questioning, but Wan Pozi was also suspicious of the two pieces of silver after being surprised.
Some people put silver paint on the outside of iron bumps or stones, and there are many people who use it to deceive people, and Wan Pozi was about to pick up the silver and test it, but the man suddenly clasped the silver with his hand.
The man was so proud that his nostrils were facing the sky, and he looked at Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi and asked, "Can I see my illness?" ”
Wan Pozi looked at Fu Xiaojiu, of course Fu Xiaojiu understood what Wan Pozi meant, and said calmly to the man: "Yes." ”
The man triumphantly put his wrist on the table, and Fu Xiaojiu calmed down and checked his pulse.
When Fu Xiaojiu treated this man, Wan Pozi looked at him carefully on the side, feeling a little puzzled.
This man looked at him, he didn't look like a person from this village, whether this person came here to make trouble, Wan Pozi is not sure now.
Fu Xiaojiu took his hand back and asked about the man's condition, "Do you usually have any uncomfortable symptoms?" ”
The man opened his mouth and said, "My heart is always stuffy, and sometimes it hurts terribly." ”
Fu Xiaojiu frowned slightly when he heard his illness, and then asked, "In addition to feeling uncomfortable, do you have any other symptoms?" ”
The man's tone was very resolute, "It's gone!" That's what I'm wrong with. ”
Fu Xiaojiu nodded, and then pushed back the silver he put on the table to him, "Your heartache is not a big deal, you should pay attention to a lighter diet in the future, eat more pears, and drink more water." ”
"I don't need to take medicine for this disease?" The man was suspicious of Fu Xiaojiu's words.
Fu Xiaojiu replied confirmed: "The illness is also severe, your disease is not enough to take medicine, you can pay attention to your diet at ordinary times." ”
Wan Pozi saw that the silver she was about to get was about to fly, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do anything, but she couldn't say anything, and kept persuading herself not to worry, she could earn a lot of silver in the future.
The man's eyes stared at Fu Xiaojiu, if it was an ordinary woman, he would have been frightened by his eyes, but Fu Xiaojiu was like a nobody, and he also stared at him with a smile.
Fu Xiaojiu said calmly: "If you really want to take medicine, I will prescribe some white fungus for you, and you can go back and stew it with pears to quench the fire." ”
"Tremella still needs to be prescribed? I have it at home. The man said, and quickly took the silver into his bosom and walked away without looking back.
Fu Xiaojiu looked at his back, and the faint smile on the corner of his mouth immediately disappeared.
Wan Pozi also saw some clues, wrinkled her brows and said, "Who belongs to this kid?" Why do I look at him a little wrong? ”
"You see something is wrong with him?" Fu Xiaojiu stood up, his eyes still staying at the door.
Wan Pozi hurriedly retracted her gaze and looked at Fu Xiaojiu, "Xiao Jiu, what is his illness?" ”
Fu Xiaojiu also retracted his gaze and said to Wan Pozi seriously: "He doesn't have a heartache at all, he has a lung fever." I don't know why he lied, but fortunately, there are no other patients present except him, and I haven't prescribed him medicine, and we don't confiscate his consultation fees, so even if he has some shady purpose to come to see me, he won't be able to catch me. ”
Fu Xiaojiu didn't finish the whole story, and left a few words in his heart for the time being.
Wan Pozi was very scared when she heard Fu Xiaojiu's words, fortunately she was not greedy to persuade Fu Xiaojiu to prescribe medicine to others, in case this person is really a bad heart, it is easy to be caught.
Wan Pozi said sincerely: "It's still thoughtful." Alright, let's go eat. ”
Wan Lin had been watching from the side when this happened, and he could see at a glance that there was something wrong with the man, but fortunately, Fu Xiaojiu was not greedy for the one or two pieces of silver, and he didn't prescribe medicine or confiscate his medical fees, so no matter what the man's purpose was, I'm afraid he couldn't make any trouble.
After the family had lunch, Fu Xiaojiu continued to treat people, and she didn't finish her day's work until dinner.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat in Mrs. Wan's house and counted the money for a long time before they counted it, and today they received a total of more than 500 yuan.
After Fu Xiaojiu calculated the accounts, he gave the dividends to Wan Pozi, and Wan Pozi did not shirk this time, and accepted the money with a smile.
Wan Feizhi also helped Fu Xiaojiu for a day, and Fu Xiaojiu gave her thirty yuan to buy a snack to eat.
Wan Pozi originally wanted to stop her, but she couldn't resist Fu Xiaojiu.
In Fu Xiaojiu's eyes, Wan Feizhi is still a little girl, and it is normal to give her some pocket money if she has nothing to do. Wan Feizhi happily took the money, said "thank you, sister-in-law" sweetly, and went to buy candy to eat.
Wan Pozi held the copper coin in her hand, her two hanging eyes shrewdly brightened, and she said longingly: "If you can earn more than 500 yuan every day in the future, you and the third child will really make a fortune." ”
Fu Xiaojiu pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't look at the income of five hundred yuan a day at all, if she wanted to point to such a small amount of money to make a fortune, when would she have to wait.
But Fu Xiaojiu is not in a hurry, now is at least a good start, and her goal must be achieved step by step and steadily.
Fu Xiaojiu put nearly 400 coins on Wan Lin's bookcase, although the oil lamp was not bright, these copper coins were also illuminated by the light of the oil lamp to exude a gratifying light.
"Is this the money you made today?" Wan Lin hurriedly put down the book and looked at the pile of copper coins with a smile.
Fu Xiaojiu saw his appearance when he saw Qian's eyes, and deliberately said in a weird manner: "It is said that scholars are high, and they don't like the smell of copper the most." Why don't you think that my copper coins have suppressed your books and disturbed the elegance of your reading? ”
Wan Lin immediately raised his head, with an unconcealable smile in his deep eyes, and said leisurely:
"Lady, it's not right for you to say that. Reading is certainly elegant, and it is not false that this copper coin smells of copper, but if the reader really dislikes the smell of copper and disturbs the elegance of reading, he should not use silver money to buy books, and use silver money as travel expenses to go to scientific examinations, but should use poetry to exchange books for travel expenses, which is the real exemption from vulgarity and real elegance. Although I am a reader, I am also a layman, so I like money, and I can't do without it. ”
"Poof!"
Fu Xiaojiu was amused by Wanlin's truth.
"I said you, it's also a wonder among readers! I don't think anyone who can say so directly about the benefits of money except for you, and he doesn't shy away from saying that he likes money. ”
Wan Lin put away his smile at this time, and said quite seriously: "I don't dare to say how good I am, I just want to be the most authentic self in front of the people closest to me." I like money, and what I like is money that is well taken and money that I have peace of mind. Some people keep saying that they regard money as dung, but after they are developed, they have wantonly amassed wealth, and on the surface, they are high-minded, but behind the scenes, they do not know how many unseemly deeds they have done. ”
Fu Xiaojiu also put away his smile and asked seriously: "Then say so, if you become an official, you will definitely not be a corrupt official?" ”
Wan Lin replied without thinking: "That's nature!" I want to get fame and become an official, not to get promoted and make a fortune, I just want to do something practical for the people, even if I can only be a sesame petty official in the future, as long as I can get benefits for the people, I don't think I read these books in vain, and I haven't come to the world in vain. ”
Fu Xiaojiu gave Wan Lin a thumbs up, "I didn't expect you to have such ambitions in your heart, I thought you were dedicated to studying, you wanted to glorify your ancestors, get promoted and make a fortune." Just for these words you said, I will leave the words here today, from now on you just have to study with peace of mind, I will work hard to make money so that you don't have any worries, and you won't worry about money anymore. I hope that the day you really entered the officialdom, you can also remember what you said to me today. ”
Wan Lin looked at her and stood up suddenly.
"Lady...... Please bow down to me! ”
Wan Lin really didn't know what to say, he just wanted to give Fu Xiaojiu a big gift and thank her.
Fu Xiaojiu hurriedly helped him, "What are you doing here?" Didn't I say it all, don't thank you all the time between husband and wife, why are you still worshipping? ”
Wan Lin was firmly supported by Fu Xiaojiu, even if he wanted to worship, he couldn't worship.
He simply stood up straight, looked at Fu Xiaojiu's eyes sincerely, and said: "My future is uncertain at this time, and there are many things at home, and it is my blessing that my lady can never leave me." If the burden of making money to support the family falls on the lady, why don't I thank the lady? ”
Fu Xiaojiu let go of Wan Lin and smiled slightly, "Reading is your main business, I am also an idle person, practicing medicine is my interest and my specialty, and it is normal for me to practice medicine to make money." You can study in peace, I'm still waiting to be the champion lady. ”
"Lady!"
Wan Lin couldn't control himself anymore, opened his arms, and hugged Fu Xiaojiu through the bookcase.
