Chapter 10: Human Suffering
Zhao Haitang returned to the Shen Mansion, it was past the curfew time, she went straight to the back kitchen, and the black pearl in her arms was ground into a small porcelain jar of powder after a while.
"The county lord, the county lord atonements."
As soon as Zhao Haitang entered the house, he saw that the stone was full of tears mixed with snot, and a bowl of thick soup medicine next to the bed had already been knocked aside. Song Chaoyan covered his hands and stood aside with a frown. Lei Du's face was red, Xu was burned and confused, Lei Du was babbling and talking nonsense.
"Stone, is there any medicine on the small stove?"
"Miss Zhao! Yes, yes, the small one is full of a big pot, but ...... Childe can't drink it, just ......"
When the stone saw Zhao Haitang, it was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and his eyes, which were still dull just now, instantly lit up.
"If you have it, bring it over quickly, if your son-in-law continues like this, this head will be burned out."
Zhao Haitang looked at Lei Du like this, and she didn't care about her special identity, she stepped forward quickly, dug up a spoonful of pearl powder and mixed it in the medicine.
"Stone, get some honey."
Zhao Haitang supported Lei Du, and there were still medicine stains on the side of the bed quilt that Lei Du had just vomited. Lei Du has been afraid of bitterness since he was a child, and he refuses to eat more bitter gourd in the dish. This medicinal soup is filled with coptis, and the bitter taste can be seen. Not to mention that he is unconscious at this time, even if he is awake, he may not be able to drink.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Lei Du just wanted to cough up the medicine, but Zhao Haitang's eyes were quick and he stuffed a piece of honey into his mouth. The originally frowning eyebrows also slowly smoothed out a lot.
Song Chaoyan, who was standing on the side, covered her nose with a handkerchief, and the pungent smell of medicine in the room made her stomach churn for a while.
originally wanted to take this opportunity to contact Lei Du more, but who would have thought that he would be so sick.
Song Chaoyan squinted, looked at Zhao Haitang and Lei Du, and slowly exited the room.
One night, Zhao Haitang stayed by Lei Du's side, and only after he completely subsided his fever did he yawn and go back to the room.
Early the next morning, Zhao Haitang, who was still asleep, was directly dragged out of the bed by Shen Qiyun.
"Miss Zhao seems to have something on her mind?"
It's no wonder that Shen Qiyun asked, the two of them walked along the lively street for most of the day, and along the way, Zhao Haitang kept his face strained and lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something.
"I said Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, I'm still grounded."
"What are you afraid of, he still dares to provoke me?"
Zhao Haitang glanced at Shen Qiyun, relying on the fact that she was the only eldest daughter under the name of the queen's mother, and she had always ignored any rules. Walking and walking, the two stopped at the door of a pawnshop.
"What are you doing, do you still have to be a thing?"
Shen Qiyun is a master who can't stop his mouth, and he can be so quiet, maybe because he touched a bright red apple from somewhere.
"If you lose your ticket, you can't redeem it without collateral"
"Moth-eaten rats bite each according to their fate"
"Antique Jade Anniversary is Fulfilled"
"Sharpshooter costumes are all inappropriate"
At the door of the pawnshop, there are a few red satins, on which are written a few cold words, the guests who come and go or the gentlemen, get the ingots are very happy, or the face is full of embarrassment, get the copper plate and hurry to withdraw, the expressions are different, very wonderful.
"This Zhuangzi is the property in the name of my father, I ......"
In the last life, the so-called case of corruption and bribery of the general originated from this Hengyuantong pawn shop, which found 10,000 taels of gold in the shop, but there was a huge deficit in the account, and these gold and silver that appeared out of thin air were all due to several years of military expenditures.
Zhao Haitang wanted to speak and stopped, Shen Qiyun was very curious, she grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she saw a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, but this pawnshop really belonged to the one who had never heard of it.
"Oh, it turned out to be my own industry, I said it earlier, hey, Begonia, how can the counter of this pawnshop be so high, if this person is a little shorter, he may not be able to get it on tiptoe."
Hearing Zhao Haitang say that it was the Zhao family's industry, Shen Qiyun walked in directly as if he had taken a pass, and as soon as he entered the door, he seemed to have no bones, and he collapsed directly on the chair on the side, and cocked Erlang's legs as usual.
"Pawn open, I'm for profit, you save the emergency, the barrier is set higher, I don't see your suffering, don't persuade me to be generous."
Zhao Haitang walked in with Shen Qiyun, looked at all kinds of people in the hall, and suddenly came from nowhere.
Shen Qiyun sat in the middle like an uncle, as if he was playing a trick, and he didn't know where to get a lot of peanuts and nuts.
"Two masters, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"
A guy who ran around the hall put a white towel on his shoulder, and his face was full of respect.
Aside from the graceful and luxurious clothes of these two people, just the brocade dress worn by this woman, the pattern of the front and back plackets, must be hundreds of taels of silver, and most of them come to this pawnshop.
"I said Begonia, you can't always focus on literary attainments, you also have to take the time to take care of the house, you look at your hands-off shopkeeper, your own shop, this servant doesn't know you."
As he spoke, Shen Qiyun threw peanuts into his mouth with his head tilted, feeling uncomfortable.
"Get out of the way!"
I've endured you for a long time, you dumb kid, who do you scold Huai?
The memories of Xu is previous life have always been in his mind, and Zhao Haitang's entire aura is much lower than before. She raised her foot and kicked Shen Qiyun's ass a little irritably, directly driving her out of the main position.
"I don't know if the little proprietor is coming, the old slave is disrespectful, rude!"
A white-bearded old man walked out from behind the high counter tremblingly, and the guys on the side saw this, and began to clear the venue one after another, and after a while, the lobby, which was noisy just now, instantly became much quieter.
Zhao Haitang sat on the main seat, lowered his eyes, and did not mean to let the person in front of him get up.
It's him, Qin Shanqing, with a kind face, but in fact, he is two-faced and treacherous. The father is handsome and straight, and in the last life, he must have been this hypocritical look, and together with the second uncle, he hollowed out the general's mansion.
Zhao Haitang stared at the trembling old man in front of him, and his clenched fists seemed to pierce his heart.
