Chapter 123: Seeking Mountain Ginseng (2)
"Say it! What did your girl ask you to come to my son-in-law again? Every time you come over, I know that your girl is short of something, so let you come to my son-in-law for nothing! As soon as Shi saw Ah Hua walking towards this side, he knew that Gu Yutang had asked her to get something.
In addition to coming to their house to pick up things for nothing, where did Gu Yutang have the leisure to ask Ah Hua to come over and visit the door?
Ah Hua smiled wryly, a little embarrassed to tell Shi that he had come to take things for nothing, and finally said: "Little brother Shi, my girl heard that my second wife is sick, and she knows that your son-in-law has a good old ginseng here, so my girl will let me come to your son-in-law to get a few plants." ”
"What? Last time, I euphemistically said to borrow, this time I came directly to get it, your girl is really embarrassed, when we are here in an almshouse? If you want to have a good old ginseng, there are many Huimin pharmacies in the city, so ask your girl to buy it. My son-in-law gave your girl so much silver last time, where did the money go? ”
Jiang Zhiming had already instructed him that if Gu Yutang asked someone to come over and take things for nothing, he would only allow her to take things away after asking someone to pay for them.
"Miss Ahua, I told you last time, those good old ginseng are the gifts that my son-in-law is going to give to my wife for her birthday, there are not a few good plants, if it wasn't for the last time you came, saying that Mrs. Lin was sick, we took the ginseng to you to do favors. Now I want to take it again for nothing, but there is no door! The stone said, using his burly body to block the front of the door, not allowing Ah Hua to approach the door for half a step.
Ahua, this girl, has a virtue with her master, the girl of the Gu family, and the ghost idea in her heart is unguardable.
If she was asked to go to the door of the house and shouted into the house to wake up Jiang Zhiming, then he would not be able to eat and walk away.
"Brother Shi, we are all maids who serve people, I know your difficulties, but you should also be considerate and considerate of my difficulties! I was ordered by my girl to come to your son-in-law to get ginseng, if I don't take it back, I'm afraid I will not be able to pay my girl! Ah Hua said, winking at the stone opposite, trying to win his sympathy.
Who knew that Shi Shi had already known her little tricks, didn't look at her, and turned his body in a different direction, "Miss Ahua, you let me not embarrass you, and don't embarrass me!" My son-in-law explained it to me clearly, unless you ask your girl to take the money, I will naturally give you the mountain ginseng. ”
If Gu Yutang really wanted to pay for it, he wouldn't have asked her to come over to Jiang Zhiming to get it.
Besides, with the character of his own girl, who does not pull out the iron rooster, I want to ask her to take out the money to buy these mountain ginseng, but I am afraid that she will be sad to reach the sky. Since the stone didn't help her go in and pass the word to Jiang Zhiming, then she waited here, she didn't believe it, Jiang Zhiming could not come out for a day.
There are always times when people are in three urgies, and she waits until Jiang Zhiming's three urgencies.
Seeing that Ah Hua is reluctant to leave, Shi is worried again, Ah Hua, a stupid girl, must have some ghost idea in her heart!
Fortunately, I am much smarter than this silly girl, and when the time comes, I will see what else she can do?
Thinking of this, the stone sat down on the threshold before the door; Ah Hua, on the other hand, was sitting on the stone steps, and the eyes of the two of them looked at each other like this.
After only half an hour, the patience in Shi's heart was worn out, and he said to Ah Hua on the other side, "Ah Hua, the sun will be big in the future, I'm afraid of sunburning you, you better go back quickly!" For a while, my son-in-law won't be able to come out. ”
As soon as the stone finished speaking, and was about to continue with the next sentence, the door of the house was opened with a creak, and I saw Jiang Zhiming wearing a bright yellow bedclothes, his hair was not tied in a bun, and his face was rushed out without washing, and his two hands were still covered in the vital place, and his face was already red.
"Stone, Ah Hua, what are you two doing outside muttering for so long? I'm suffocating in there! As soon as Jiang Zhiming's words fell, he used all his strength and ran towards the direction of the official room.
Shi watched his son-in-law run so quickly, and suddenly remembered that his son-in-law had not been to the official room since last night until today, and he should have woken up a long time ago, but he and Ah Hua were guarding outside like two door gods, how could he be embarrassed to come out and go to the official room?
Seeing his son-in-law running in such a hurry, Shi was worried that he didn't bring toilet paper, so he hurriedly chased up and shouted, "Childe, did you bring toilet paper?"
Hearing the stone that caught up shouting this, Jiang Zhiming hurriedly touched his cuffs and found that he didn't even bring toilet paper? Hurriedly replied to the stone, "Hurry up and have someone send it to me!" I really can't hold it back, I'll go to the official room and wait first! ”
When the stone heard this, he hurriedly ran back, went to Jiang Zhiming's house, took out half a roll of toilet paper, and handed it to the errand boy, and then asked the boy to send it to the official room to Jiang Zhiming.
"Stone, I'll just say that people have three urgency, and your son-in-law won't need my invitation, he will come out by himself. Don't you think your son-in-law will come out on his own? I'll just wait here for him to come back! I'll go back after taking the ginseng, so that I can pay my errand to my girl! Ah Hua said, and was about to step into the west wing when he was stopped by a stone.
"Miss Ahua, when did you say that my son-in-law would come out on his own without your invitation? You're just a fluke this time, but even if you meet our son-in-law, if you don't take out the money to buy ginseng, my son-in-law won't ask you to take those ginseng for nothing! The stone stopped Ah Hua in front of him with his hand, and as he spoke, his hand was already broken by Ah Hua.
"Brother Shi, with your body, you still want to stop me? I'm just going in to sit inside, not stealing something, so why are you so nervous?" Ah Hua said, the person had collapsed into the west wing, and saw a Huanghuali carved Taishi chair placed in front of the library where Jiang Zhiming was writing, and sat down unceremoniously.
The stone looked at Ah Hua sitting on the Taishi chair moving around, and began to feel sorry for the Taishi chair, this Taishi chair was specially sent down by Hou Ye, and his own son and brother have not sat down a few times, if Ah Hua is called to sit badly, then it must be himself who suffers.
Shi was about to speak, when he saw Jiang Zhiming walk in from outside, he had been in the official room for so long, if he didn't come out again, he was afraid that others would suspect that Jiang Zhiming had some vague illness?
"Ah Hua, last time my wife asked you to come to my old ginseng, I saw that she was sent to Mrs. Lin's house, so I asked you to take it. If she wants to take my things to do favors this time, I will give her a discount on this old ginseng, one hundred taels per plant, what does she want to do, just take the silver and buy it. Jiang Zhiming had already returned to the house as he spoke, the maid who was waiting for him had already brought water, and the stone was waiting for Jiang Zhiming to freshen up.
After finishing grooming, Jiang Zhiming saw that Ah Hua was still standing stupidly in the house, so he said again, "I saw that you were sending big fish and meat into the house all day long, what my wife wore on her head, what was not worth dozens of taels of silver?" Why, didn't you come to buy ginseng? ”
Jiang Zhiming's mouth is compared with that of her own girl, she can't say that Jiang Zhiming, so she can only stand aside stupidly, and Jiang Zhiming counts word by word.
But I heard him say again; "If she is determined to ask me for the ginseng here, she can come and get it in person, and ask your little maid to come and get it, I won't give it."
"Since the Jiang family's son-in-law is unwilling to give it, and Ahua can't force the Jiang family's son-in-law, I will go back to my girl and ask her to come and ask you for it in person." As soon as Ah Hua's voice fell, he coldly glanced at the smug stone standing next to Jiang Zhiming.
Looking at the back of Ah Hua's departure, Jiang Zhiming secretly said in his heart, my wife, I just want you to beg me, see what you can do with me?
After returning to the East Chamber, Ah Hua cried at Gu Yutang's feet, wiped his tears, and said, "Girl, they bully people, they have to say that you have to go in person, they are willing to give us those few ginseng plants!" Ah Hua cried, already adding fuel and vinegar, and then raised his head to look at his girl's reaction.
