Chapter 199: The Old Man
"Girl, are you?" Mrs. Li was only just over thirty, but she was haggard and old like a woman in her forties and fifties.
Mrs. Li didn't recognize her, but she recognized Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li is a needlework person in her mother's room, she has a pair of wonderful hands, the embroidered birds seem to be able to fly, and the embroidered flowers seem to be able to smell the fragrance of flowers.
Li Niangzi is outstanding in embroidery, and she has also instructed her in needlework, but unfortunately she still failed to learn from Li Niangzi. At that time, she would take silver needles, but she would never be able to twist embroidery needles, let alone split a silk thread into twenty-four parts.
"Does Mrs. Li still embroider?"
Mrs. Li shook her head and said: "I can't embroider anymore, this eye can't work, and when I am blown by the wind, I will shed tears." In the past two years, the rheumatism has become more and more serious, and I can't even hold the needle in my hand. How does the girl know about my embroidery? ”
"Of course I do." Zhangzhu rubbed her eyes, she took the opportunity to touch Li Niangzi's pulse, and then looked at Li Niangzi's finger that caused bone deformation due to illness, and the finger was no longer straight. It's only been a few years, how did she end up in such a field, it's really unforgiving.
The palm beads gave the pulse, and I had a rough idea of Li Niangzi's physical condition. It's just that there is no decent furniture in the Li family, even the futon covered by Mrs. Li can't see the color and pattern for a long time, and I don't know how many times the pulp has been washed and how many times she has been sewn up, and Mrs. Li's skillful hands have not been able to make her more comfortable.
"Mrs. Li is sick, take good care of her. It's almost summer, and it's easy to get sick when the two seasons alternate, so take care. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any greeting gifts......" Zhangzhu said and touched his waist, took out a piece of broken silver from an embroidered purse and put it next to Li Niangzi's pillow, and said: "Take this medicine and let Feng'an go to the pharmacy outside to buy some Relaxation and Vitality Pill to eat, or Zijin Babao Pill." ”
"Who the hell are you, girl?"
"I'm ...... Someone who has been cared for and guided by you. Zhangzhu replied vaguely.
She sat down at Li's house and came out, and before she reached the entrance of the alley, Li Feng'an chased after her: "Girl, you take this silver, my mother said thank you for your kindness." ”
Zhangzhu naturally refused to take the money back, she said: "I don't lack this money to spend, but your mother is still waiting to buy medicine, her illness needs good medicine, take it to buy medicine for her." ”
"But girl, you have to tell me who you are, right?" Between the words, Li Feng'an was already a little respectful to the strange woman in front of him.
Zhangzhu said: "My surname is Fu." Maybe we will meet again in the future, and I will come back to your house then. ”
Zhangzhu strode towards the street, where Liao Kai was still waiting for her. Before Zhangzhu got into the car, he said to Liao Kai: "I've kept you waiting." ”
"No, where is the girl going next?"
Zhangzhu said: "Just go shopping." ”
She wants to open another medical clinic in the capital, firstly, to have a place to make money, and secondly, to facilitate her to inquire about things.
That Liao Kai really took Zhangzhu to visit many places, and when he arrived at a crowded place, Zhangzhu would get out of the car and take a walk. Two years have passed, and everything here is as prosperous as before.
Later, the car passed through Rouge Lane, and the thick old locust tree at the entrance of the lane was still there. She couldn't help but take a second look, this was also a place she was familiar with, because the Xun family lived in Rouge Lane. She didn't tell Liao Kai to stop the carriage, she had to go back to He's house.
Soon after arriving at He's house, she called Yan Sheng and instructed him: "You and Liao Ye go and help me do something." ”
The leap student hurriedly asked, "What do you have to say about the girl?" ”
"Help me find a shop that can be rented, if there is a connected yard behind the shop, it is not the most suitable, and the location is not too remote, and the cost is less than one hundred and fifty taels. Find it as soon as possible and let me know. ”
After hearing this, Yan Sheng smiled and said, "Is the girl planning to come to the capital to open a medical center?" ”
Zhangzhu nodded yes, and Runsheng helped Zhang Luo to do this.
Zhangzhu's inquiry about the house soon reached Shuanghua's ears, and she asked Zhangzhu with some reluctance: "Sister Fu just came to our house and will move out soon?" ”
Zhangzhu said: "Inquire first, I'm afraid that I will have to disturb your family for some time before I can really move out." ”
When Shuanghua heard this, he immediately stuck to the palm bead: "I really can't bear to let Sister Fu go, you have one more companion here." ”
The He family treats the palm beads very well, and the second Mrs. He specially sent a maid to serve the palm beads.
Runsheng and Liao Kai were busy helping Zhangzhu find a house, and the two wives of the He family also asked Zhangzhu about this matter: "Miss Fu wants to open a shop?" ”
"Almost, I want to have a livelihood to stand on."
The two wives of the He family learned some of her basic situation from Zhangzhu, and heard that she had no father or mother, and would treat people, and the daughter who had no parental care could only rely on her own foothold, and she couldn't help but feel pity in her admiration.
"Miss Fu, you don't have any relatives or friends here, I'm afraid it's not easy to take root, and if you encounter difficulties and need help in the future, just open your mouth."
In the face of Mrs. He's kindness, he expressed his gratitude.
The search for a house went quite smoothly, and they enlisted the help of the He family, but it took four days to find a good location, but there was only one shop, and there was a small house behind, which was not big, only five or six rooms. If you want to live in someone, I'm afraid it's still crowded. "Wouldn't it be too narrow to have just one shop? But according to the girl, if you want to find a house with a house, you have to start at least three hundred taels. Runsheng looked embarrassed.
Zhangzhu didn't expect that the price of goods in the capital would be so high in just two years, her money had to be spent on the blade, only one shop was nothing, the shop was opened to a lot of expenses, and secondly, she was afraid that she would not be able to be busy alone, so she immediately decided: "It's good to make a simple medical hall, treat people, go to the clinic, and don't sell medicine." ”
"If you don't sell drugs, will your income be reduced a lot?"
Zhangzhu said: "This is natural, but there is no way to do it. ”
Zhangzhu never thought that she would stay in the capital all the time, and in the future, when the Xie family's affairs are over, she will go back to Shoufeng, and continue to help her third brother run Baicaotang when the time comes. However, it is enough to have a place for her to stay, and then it is enough to facilitate her later actions, and it is not good to live in the He family.
After finding a shop, Zhangzhu went to see it in person, the shop is two streets away from Dagongfang, and she is quite familiar with the surroundings, so she will rent it now. Liao Kai used to do things for Yuanzhen, so he helped with the later procedures.
Zhangzhu saw that the shop still needed to be properly decorated, and these jobs were handed over to the leap students to do.
When I returned to He's house this day, it was already time to get up, Shuanghua met and cared about her if she had eaten, and Zhangzhu brought Shuanghua's favorite snacks back, Shuanghua liked it very much.
"Sister Fu, you won't go out tomorrow, okay?"
"Why?"
"Because my cousin Cai is coming, didn't you say you wanted to meet her?"
Zhangzhu was slightly stunned, she really wanted to see Xun Shao's wife.
