Chapter 53: Asking for Money
Gu Yunjin got off the sedan chair and saw a sedan chair parked under the tree outside Woman Jia's door at a glance.
The sedan curtain is simple, there is no sign of the carriage and horse in the city, a sedan chair driver is guarding the side, seeing that he is dressed, clean and neat, and there is no fatigue of the porters in his expression, Gu Yunjin thought, which sedan chair should be prepared by himself.
Sure enough, when she entered the Gu family and bypassed the shadow wall, she met a fresh face in the patio.
The medicine box was placed at his feet, and the young man who had just been weak-crowned sat on the stone bench, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were spread out on the table, and he wrote down the prescription while listening to the old man's words.
The crane-haired old man was in good spirits, his eyes were embarrassed, his speech was not fast, and he was very organized.
Wu saw Gu Yunjin and greeted him and said, "This is the old doctor invited by the aunt of the Jia family, surnamed Wu, who just diagnosed his wife's pulse. ”
Gu Yunjin raised his eyes and looked at Woman Jia.
When it came to the imperial doctor earlier, Gu Yunjin made up his mind to ask for it cheekily, but he didn't expect that Lady Jia didn't say it casually, and it was much faster than she expected.
It was only a few days before the Imperial Doctor came to the door.
The medicine boy wrote the prescription, and the Imperial Doctor Wu took it over and checked it, and then beckoned to the Wu family, and carefully explained to her the places to pay attention to when taking daily medicine and recuperating.
Gu Yunjin also leaned in to listen, it was really a big deal, but everything he could think of was taken care of.
Wu Shi was not annoyed at all, listened carefully, asked a few more words if he had doubts, and got a detailed answer.
"Imperial Doctor," Gu Yunjin pondered and asked, "Can Mrs.'s body be raised?" If you don't raise it well, what will happen in the future? ”
Hearing these words roughly, as if he didn't want to be too cumbersome, Imperial Doctor Wu looked up at her, and looked at Gu Yunjin's eyes full of concern and nervousness, and suddenly he thought crookedly.
"It's not good in the lungs, it doesn't matter now, it's going to be sinful for a long time, coughing for a long time, it's hard to sleep at night, once people can't sleep well, all kinds of diseases will follow," Wu Taiyi said bluntly, "However, with the other party, it's still too late to raise it." ”
Gu Yunjin let out a long sigh of relief.
In the past, Xu's illness was delayed, and it was also related to the wrong prescriptions prescribed by several doctors.
Since you can understand the symptoms, the prescription must be feasible.
Imperial Doctor Wu didn't sit for a long time, and left the prescription and left.
Seeing Gu Yunjin's grateful face, Woman Jia said, "Imperial Doctor Wu comes to prescribe a prescription for me every half a month, and our two families are next to each other, so it is convenient for him to visit the door." ”
Gu Yunjin bowed, followed Mrs. Jia to Jia's house, and handed her the silver ticket: "Auntie, accept it." ”
The ransom hairpin was arranged by Jiang Muyuan, and Delong collected it for thirty taels, or sold it for thirty taels, and he didn't overcharge a penny of silver.
Woman Jia looked at the extra twenty taels on the ticket, and did not say politely to Gu Yunjin: "The other things should be almost gone, I will take the excess first, it should be enough." ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Yunjin said.
This gratitude is really grateful, even if Mrs. Jia said something "a gesture of effort", but Gu Yunjin knew how important he was, just for the one in the narrow alley, Jiang Muyuan's apology was really heavy.
Thanks in her heart, Gu Yunjin could convey it to the Tojia woman, but thinking that Cheng Jinzhi had come to apologize to her, she swallowed all her words again.
The apology should be paid in person, and the same is true for thanks.
The next time she meets Jiang Muyuan, she should say "thank you" to him.
Gu Yunjin took the hairpin and returned to the Gu family's courtyard, and the medicine had already been stewed.
She handed over the green hairpin to Xu, who looked at the hairpin repeatedly, her eyes were red, and she couldn't hold back her tears.
"It's all up to the eldest sister of the Jia family to help," Xu Shi held Gu Yunjin's hand and said, "It's going to the pawn shop again, and it's asking the imperial doctor to come to see us, we owe her a lot of favors." ”
Gu Yunjin smiled and comforted the Xu family, telling her not to take it to heart.
The Xu family asked about the situation in the house, and Gu Yunjin didn't hide it from her, and after the Wu family came in, he said it from beginning to end.
Wu was dumbfounded when he heard this, while Xu shook his head again and again, and sighed: "It's half a hundred years old, but it's more tormenting than before." ”
It is difficult for Xu to say anything about Mrs. Min's temperament, and she doesn't like to gossip on weekdays, but she has been in contact with the old lady for a long time, and has experienced the identity change of the other party from an ordinary merchant to an official old lady.
But when I think about it, I don't think it's difficult to understand.
In the past, the days were smooth, the tide rose, the old lady didn't have many bad things, naturally she didn't make trouble, but this time she was angry again and again, and there was nowhere to vent, and the unreasonableness in her bones came up.
"Don't collide with her, in case you suffer a loss, it's not worth it." Xu Shi said with concern.
Gu Yunjin should respond in her mouth, and she has a mirror in her heart, she has a conflict with Mrs. Min, and she must be prepared not to suffer losses.
The medicine outside the house was fragrant, Gu Yunjin sniffed, and suddenly a thought came to him.
Since Lady Jia is Jiang Muyuan's manpower, I am afraid that what she said about "the master once helped Imperial Doctor Wu" is not credible.
Taking a step back, Imperial Physician Wu really looked at Master Jia's face and agreed to see Lady Jia, so it should be Lady Jia who went to Wu's house, not Doctor Tai who came to Beisan Hutong.
can make Imperial Doctor Wu go in a sedan chair every half a month, probably Jiang Muyuan, right?
Woman Jia does things for Jiang Muyuan, she must be capable and knowing, without Jiang Muyuan's nod, how can she let Imperial Doctor Wu bring it to Xu's consultation? However, as soon as Mrs. Jia came back to Gu's house for the first time, she took the initiative to mention the matter of the imperial doctor......
If the hairpin is to make amends, it is a gesture, what about the doctor?
Is it also a gesture?
That Jiang Muyuan's hand strength is really big enough.
Gu Yunjin couldn't help but raise her hand and pressed her eyebrows, in addition to thanking her next time, should she ask a few more words?
Three days later, Gu Yunjin, Nian Xia, and Fu Dong were squatting in the Orchid Garden, and a little maid hurriedly came to say that the Wu family was here.
Wu's footsteps were fast, he walked to Gu Yunjin's side, and took out three pieces of paper from his sleeve and gave them to her.
Gu Yunjin looked down and saw that it was the pawn ticket for the bracelet, jade pendant and earrings, except for the jade wrench, everything else was found.
"As soon as the eldest lady is delivered, I will come," Wu raised his eyebrows, "this time let's see what other drama they have to sing!" ”
Wu's expression was also like today's spring breeze, Gu Yunjin couldn't help laughing, his fingertips flicked the pawn ticket, and said, "Let's go to Qingyu Hall first, the money to redeem these three things hasn't landed yet." ”
"That's a good point!" Wu smiled and bent his eyes, and straightened his forehead hair that had loosened a little due to the hurry, "Let's go, let's go ask for silver." ”
In Qingyu Hall, Yang got the letter, turned his head through the window and looked at the aunt and sister-in-law who walked into the courtyard with high spirits, and couldn't help but cry out in his heart: This debt collector is here again!
