Chapter 244: Qi's Scheme
Lin persuaded him, and seeing that Gu Lihua didn't react much, he persuaded again.
"Rokuro! In the years since you left home, the inheritance left by your ancestors in the second house has been handled by your mother and your daughter-in-law.
The man in the family is idle outside, leaving the affairs of the house to two women to take care of, what is the matter? Do you know how difficult it is for your mother and your daughter-in-law to come this way?"
When Gu Lihua heard this, he finally raised his head and looked towards the Lin family.
"What the eldest aunt said, the nephew knows. It's just that Min Lan doesn't have many days left, if she gives her the master's pair of cards and continues to let her take care of this big Gu Mansion, I'm afraid it will aggravate her condition. ”
After that, Gu Lihua let go of Aunt Hong in his arms, looked at the Lin family and said.
"Auntie, what I said was just to use Ma Ci to get back the card key from Minlan, who knew that my mother would get in the way and instruct Sister Tang to dispose of Ma Ci."
Lin deliberately bypassed the side and asked Ma Ci directly. "How's the horse steward? I heard that the little guy who was waiting in the outer courtyard came over and said that he had beaten thirty boards, and the first person was no longer successful, but could you inform that the Huang family and the Li family had come into the mansion?"
The matter involved the inner courtyard, and it was Cai's shouting that the board was beaten, and Gu Lihua was inconvenient to interfere, so Aunt Hong next to him stood up, bowed to the Lin family, and then said.
"Auntie, Hongmei has already instructed the girls to go outside the city to invite Huang and Li to come in, Huang just entered the house, and when she saw Ma Ci's dying appearance, she cried on the spot, cried awake, woke up and cried, Ma Ci's daughter-in-law Li couldn't pull it. Now the person has been taken to the other courtyard to lie down. ”
"Go to Huimin Pharmacy and ask a few competent doctors to take a look, if not. called the Huang family and the Li family to discuss, gave them money, and asked them to prepare for the future! Lin raised his hand and instructed Aunt Hong, who was standing beside him.
The Lin family originally didn't want to take care of the second room, but this matter was provoked by Sister Tang, and as Sister Tang's grandmother, she naturally wanted to help her granddaughter end up.
Aunt Hong got the order, and called the girl to come in, and went to the Huimin Pharmacy to ask the doctor to come and show Ma Ci; At the same time, he called the bookkeeper in the house to come over, and according to the old practice in the house, he compensated the Huang family and the Li family with money.
Aunt Hong had a little hesitation on her face, and opened her mouth to speak to Lin, but her mouth moved slightly, but she didn't make any sound, as if she had some scruples.
Lin looked at her with a look of wanting to speak and stopped, thinking that she was going to talk to herself, so she picked up the Wuyi rock tea on the high table next to her, took a sip gently, and looked at Aunt Hong, who looked hesitant in front of her.
"Aunt Hong, you are a good concubine who came back from Liulangna, that is the woman of the Gu family, if you want to say anything, just say it bluntly, where did you get so many scruples?"
Hearing what Lin said, Aunt Hong wiped the beads of sweat oozing from her forehead and said.
"Auntie, Ma Ci's daughter-in-law Li came to discuss with me, saying that the Huang family was dissatisfied with us giving them money according to the old practice. Huang said that Ma Ci was originally serving by the old lady's side, the old man of the Gu family, that is, his mother, and he also wanted to give him three points of thin noodles, but now he said that he would play the board, what did the other old people who served in the house think?
Even if they don't have merit, they still have hard work, and they have come step by step with the Gu family. Now according to the old practice, a few taels of silver are allocated to them, is it a reward called Huazi? ”
As soon as Aunt Hong's words fell, she saw a little maid hurriedly walking in from outside, approaching Aunt Hong, and whispering a few words in her ear.
After listening to the little maid's words, Aunt Hong's face became gradually ugly, and she hurriedly replied to the Lin family: "Auntie, just now I asked the personal maid to invite the bookkeeper to come over, and calculated the silver money that the house compensated Ma Ci, a total of twenty taels of silver.
After hearing this, Huang immediately rolled off the couch, knelt in front of the bookkeeper and cried, saying that Ma Ci had been making cattle and horses for our Gu family for half his life, and now twenty taels of silver would be gone. ”
When Lin heard this, before he heard Aunt Hong's words, he slapped the top of the high table next to him, and the bowls and chopsticks on the top of the high table shook loudly. If it weren't for Mama Liang calling the maid in time to catch it, I was afraid that those bowls and chopsticks would have broken to the ground.
"Where did you come from? is so unreasonable, the old in the house is like this, is it possible that they still want more? Twenty taels of silver, enough for a poor family to live for the first half of their lives, and they are still so dissatisfied?"
Lin was so angry that his eyes turned red and he gasped for air.
"Go and bring Ma Ci's son, Ma Xiao's steward, since it is their family's own business, it is up to her son to decide, how much silver will they have to lose, and they will be willing?" Lin was furious and commanded Aunt Hong beside him.
Aunt Hong looked at Lin's face with anger and turned blue and white, and her heart trembled a little, and she immediately ordered the maid under her head to do it.
Not long after, several maids walked in with a shy and shy man.
The man was wearing a gray cloth robe, and it was Ma Ci's son Ma Zheng, who was the little steward under the chief steward of the Gu Mansion, and was the little shopkeeper of the Gu family's gold shop outside.
After Ma Zheng visited Aunt Lin and others, he sat on the stool and chair that the little maid had moved, and asked Lin with a shy face, "I don't know if Old Madam Lin called the little one to come over, is there anything she wants to tell the little one?"
Ma Zheng seemed to have seen the world, and he was not frightened by Lin's angry appearance, so he stammered. Although he is a little shy and shy, he speaks clearly and behaves in a proper manner.
Lin didn't speak, but handed over the right to speak to Aunt Hong on the side.
"Ma Zheng, do you know that Ma Ci received thirty boards two days ago, and we asked the doctor to come and take a look, I'm afraid it won't work. I specially ordered someone to take your mother and daughter-in-law into the house and discuss compensation for your family.
The old practice of the Gu Mansion was that if the children in the house were accidentally lost, the main family would compensate them with twenty taels of silver and invite someone from outside to enter the house for burial. ”
"Aunt Hong said this, the little ones understand. It was the mother and daughter-in-law who were not sensible, so Aunt Hong and Mrs. Lin specially called the little one over, and the little one understood what to do, so please Aunt Hong and Mrs. Lin just rest assured. Ma Zheng said that the rules and regulations are so good that people can't find the slightest mistake.
Did he really get it? Still don't know how to pretend to understand, and want to take the opportunity to delay time?
Lin looked at his appearance, as if he really understood, he was an apprentice, and now he became the small shopkeeper of the Gu family's gold shop, and naturally understood what the master's family needed and what he didn't need. What should he do to please the master's family?
And he became the shopkeeper of the Gu family's gold shop, and he couldn't do it without eight or nine years of hard work.
A few days ago, Feng Lao'an talked to her that in a few days it would be the day of the performance appraisal of each store, and each store had already sent this year's account books to the house. When the time comes, when the small shopkeeper is promoted to the big shopkeeper, how could he offend the master's family and give up his promotion opportunity for a few dozen taels of silver?
When Ma was going out, Lin specially instructed Gu Lihua to send him out.
After Gu Lihua went out, there was no need for Aunt Hong to stay in the hall. Accompanied by the Lin family, the Lin family was tired, so he called Mama Liang to send her out in person.
……
In the back room, Gu Yutang sat on the soft couch on the side, called out to three or four little maids, and played together. Doctor Qin in front of the soft couch was administering needles to Feng Lao'an, and Qi was holding others and watching Dr. Qin with an anxious face.
Every time Dr. Qin applied an injection, Qi would ask questions for a long time.
"Doctor Qin, how is the old lady's condition? When will I wake up? Does the old lady still need any medicine? If you need any medicine, no matter how expensive or hard to find, I will definitely tell the maid to find it!" ”
Qi looked sincere, and many of the people in the room were moved. A small number of people continued to work on their hands, and did not relax because of Feng Laoan's unconsciousness.
"Mrs. Qi, Old Madam Feng's illness is almost better, and now the qi and blood are accumulated in her chest, and it has not completely dispersed, and the old lady can't wake up for a while. After I prick the needle for a few more days, stimulate Mrs. Feng's qi and blood through the acupoints, and dredge the qi and blood accumulated in her chest, Mrs. Feng will wake up. ”
Doctor Qin said, the work in his hand did not stop, and continued to needle Feng Laoanren. Doctor Qin pierced Feng Laoanren's acupuncture points with a needle, stimulating the skin on her face and shaking slightly.
Qi on the side saw that Feng Lao'an was reacting, and hurriedly wiped the tears from his face, put on a few faint smiles, and knelt down.
"Thanks to Dr. Qin's wonderful hand rejuvenation, the tiger was born safely from my womb, Dr. Qin has made a great contribution, and now the old lady can come to her senses, thanks to Dr. Qin's superb medical skills. Dr. Qin's kindness to our Gu family, Xiao Qi is unforgettable, please accept my worship! ”
Just as the Qi clan was about to kowtow, the maid in the house, who already had a spirit, supported her in time and didn't let her continue.
"Mrs. Qi is really serious, the heart of the doctor's parents, Mrs. Feng is a kind-hearted person, and now that she has suffered such a crime, Qin Someone naturally wants to do her part, and there is nothing kind or unkind. And now that Feng Lao'an has not woken up, Mrs. Qi should not praise me for my medical skills. ”
Doctor Qin smiled and said a few words, and put Qi Shi on the high chair beside him.
After pricking Feng Lao'anren, Qi called two little maids to pack up the medicine box for Dr. Qin, and was about to send Dr. Qin out.
Gu Yutang saw that the maids were sending Doctor Qin out, and immediately followed, and after sending the maids ordered by the Qi family away, Gu Yutang pulled Doctor Qin to the side of the corridor.
"Doctor Qin, what is Grandmother Feng's illness? It's just a stasis of qi and blood, why haven't you been lying down for so many days? The amount of medicine has also increased significantly, what is going on? Gu Yutang looked around and asked Doctor Qin cautiously.
Doctor Qin looked at Gu Yutang in front of him, sighed, put down the medicine box he was carrying, and replied lightly.
"Third girl, I didn't think that those people in the room didn't see it, but I asked you, a little girl, to see it. Mrs. Feng was suffering from thirst-quenching disease, but others didn't know it, after Feng Lao'an was angry, she caused thirst-quenching disorder, and she had only been lying down for a few days, and now she hasn't woken up. ”
"Thirst-quenching? How could this be? Grandmother Feng's body has always been tough, why did she suffer from this incurable disease?" Gu Yutang was a little unconvinced, and asked a few more times.
"Old Madam Feng has been suffering from this illness for a long time, and it has been more than ten years now. A few years ago, Old Madam Feng was tough, and when she had a seizure, she could resist it. Now I'm afraid that it won't be, I can use medicine to keep Mrs. Feng for a while, but I can't protect her for a lifetime, there are some things, it's time to prepare. ”
Doctor Qin's words didn't have to be said to her little girl, but seeing that she cared about Old Madam Feng's appearance, she still said a few words.
Worried that she wouldn't be able to keep her mouth shut, she leaked the matter, and Dr. Qin reminded again.
"Third girl, listen to these words and forget them! If someone said these words, if these words reached the ears of the old lady, maybe there would be some kind of moth to stir up?"
Gu Yutang knew Dr. Qin's situation, these words were obviously hidden from Gu Lihua and Cai's, without the permission of Feng Laoanren, she naturally couldn't leak it out, even if her grandmother asked, she couldn't say it.
watched Doctor Qin be led by the little maid and sent away.
The Qi family sent a little maid over, and after a blessing, he transferred the Qi family's words to Gu Yutang.
"Third girl, Mrs. Qi said, the old lady's condition has stabilized, and now she needs to recuperate. Mrs. Lin's courtyard still needs you to serve you personally, so don't keep running towards us. ”
As soon as the little maid's voice fell, her face was a little unsightly, worried that Gu Yutang would be angry when she heard Qi's words.
