Chapter 144: Meeting a Lady

"Wait for me, I'll go fetch the oxen, put the ox cart up, and we'll go to town at once!" Du Mei walked out of the courtyard. She didn't have a clue yet, but she couldn't figure out how to stay at home.

"I'll go with you!" The anxious eight-pound lift his feet to keep up.

"You can't go! If they want to catch the ice seller, won't you fall into the net if you go? The second stunned screamed and opened his arms to stop Du Mei. Although he heard it in a fog, he would never let her go into danger alone.

"It's okay, I want to catch it, I caught it yesterday, didn't you see that the eight catties were released?" Although Du Mei felt that the second stunned man was purely worried, he was still very grateful for his protective heart.

"Really? No, I'm going to follow you! The second stunned man followed them out the door.

Du Mei took some money at home, she didn't want Xu to worry, she just said that she would go to the stall, and she entrusted Du Zhong with carte blanche to build the house, fortunately, the big house has been built, and the rest is fine.

Eight catties drove the ox cart, Du Mei blew the wind all the way, her mind was clearer, she went through the matter carefully in her heart, and decided to go to Niu Er and Hei Jiaolong's house first, she hadn't been to the town for about ten days, and suddenly such a change happened, she didn't know why, her eyes were black.

Niu Er's house was not far from Sheshan Town, and Bajin drove the ox cart to the door with familiarity.

Du Mei tied the cow to a poplar tree in front of the door, and pulled two handfuls of wheat straw on the haystack for the cow to chew. The three of them were about to knock on the door, when they heard an angry roar erupt from inside the hidden door: "Get out! ”

"Third Master, what's wrong?" Bajin looked surprised and glanced at Du Mei.

Bajin didn't bother to knock on the door, so he pushed open the courtyard door and stepped in, almost colliding with the middle-aged women who were walking towards him.

"Blind!" The thin woman was obviously angry, and when she saw the eight catties blocked in front of her like a hill, she said angrily.

"Hey, how do you talk!" Bajin is in a bad mood, and he can't wait to find someone to fight happily.

"Forget it, forget it." Du Meila pulled the corner of his clothes, they had more important things to do.

"Humph!" The thin woman turned her nostrils and left.

Bajin took Du Mei and Er Stunned into the hall of Niu Er's house. I saw that the hall was crowded with people, an older woman was sitting, wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and another middle-aged woman was whispering comfort. Niu San's face turned red, and it seemed that the roar just now was from him.

There was also a chubby woman with a little boy of four or five years old, who was comforting a frightened child. Du Mei recognized them at a glance, they were the wife and son of the black dragon.

"Third Master!" Bajin whispered.

"You're back! What about my brother? Niu San said in surprise, his gaze crossed the eight catties, and eagerly searched outside the empty house.

"The second brother is still closed!" Bajin said dejectedly.

"How's that okay?" The middle-aged woman had a very nasal voice, obviously crying.

"Sister-in-law, the second brother Ji people have their own natural appearance. The second brother confessed to me and asked her to save him. Eight catties gave way to the side, and Du Mei appeared in front of everyone.

"Dumay!" Niu San exclaimed.

"You're Du Mei?!" The old woman asked with her dim eyes open.

"Yes, auntie." The old woman was skinny, and Du Mei guessed in her heart that this must be Niu Er's wife.

"Meizi, the second uncle is talking to you at home every day, you are a very smart person, you must think of a way to save him." The middle-aged woman grabbed Du Mei as if a drowning man had grasped the last straw.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Niu is good to me, I will do my best to help him." Du Mei then remembered that she had a relationship with this woman, and she was Niu Er's widowed sister-in-law.

"Good boy, the second son depends on you!" Niu Er's old lady was in tears, and her eyes were swollen from crying.

The second sister-in-law of Niu collected her tears, gave way to the three of Du Mei to sit down, turned around and made tea.

"Meizi, I know you, the last time we took Xiaohezi to see a doctor, it was the prescription you helped write, why don't you help us." Black Jiaolong's wife Pang Zi hugged her son, and she lost her domineering attitude towards Black Jiaolong that day, and said pitifully.

"Now that I know, I naturally won't sit idly by, but what's going on?" Time was pressing, and Du Mei didn't want to be false and polite, so he asked bluntly.

The people in the house looked at each other, they were either women's families, or they shook their hands to shopkeepers, and they really didn't know what happened during this period.

Eight pounds on the way here, too

It's just a general way to say that the county government of Qinghe County, like a heavenly soldier, had no warning at all, and suddenly arrested them all without asking the reason. He spent the night in prison in a daze, was arraigned, and was released early in the morning.

Du Mei asked them in vain, so he had to say: "I don't know what the situation is out there yet, I'm afraid I need to spend some money to get some news, I have some savings, I'm afraid it's not enough, you can prepare some more." ”

"It stands to reason that we should have taken out the money and put it up and down, but ......" the sister-in-law stopped talking.

"It's for this money that makes me sad to death!" Niu San slapped the table angrily.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei was shocked.

"It's not to blame the second son, look at our family, two widows who don't ask about anything, a second-rate son who fools around every day. In the past many years, the family has been as big as buying land and buying real estate, and as small as buying rice and oil, which is not the second child, and it is not wrong for him to manage the money, but at this moment, he does not know where to collect it! Mrs. Niu was angry, blamed herself, and scolded Niu San.

"Mother, what is the use of talking about this at this time!" There were also Du Mei and Pang Zi in the house, and Niu San inevitably felt that he couldn't hang his face in front of outsiders.

"Hey, if your brother comes out with all his beard and tail this time, you might as well be more restrained, start a family, and live a good life." Mrs. Niu has lost a son, and the second son still doesn't know life and death.

"What a home! Look at the virtue of Mrs. Wang's matchmaker just now, I just encountered something in my family, and I thought that I was separated from the family, how could such a snob get married! "Although Niu San is mixed, he still has a conscience in the end.

Du Mei didn't expect that Niu Er hid the money so much that she couldn't even find her family, so she had to turn around and look at Pang Zi, she had seen her powerful, and she must be in charge of money at home.

"Sister-in-law Pang, where is your house?" Dumay asked tentatively.

"I... I don't have any cash at home, you know, black loaches love to show off, earn some money, not spend it. A few days ago, in a fit of rage, I bought all the money I had saved to buy a field. Who knows, this is happening now! Ponzi looked annoyed.

"This ......" Du Mei said, this unfortunate thing in the world has come together.

"Don't worry, when I go back, I will sell the field immediately, and I will definitely make up the money." Pang Zi was afraid that Du Mei would not save him, so he hurriedly promised. She is buying and selling, I am afraid that she will have to break a lot of money, but people are always much more important than money.

"We too, we will borrow some from our relatives first, even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we will make up enough." Mrs. Niu followed closely.

"In that case, I'll go outside first to inquire, and I'll call Bajin to inform you if there's news." Du Mei stood up and took his leave.

The women of the two families thanked Du Mei and sent her outside. Ponzi also came home with the child, and she had to raise money quickly.

Du Mei remembered that Zhong Yu seemed to have foreseen today's result before this, and had resolutely refused to let her participate in selling ice, but now she was a prophecy, but she was powerless.

Even the matchmaker knew that Niu Er had been defeated, and the bad news was like a plague, and the world knew about it overnight. Du Mei suddenly wanted to go, the eldest girl was still alone in the stall, and she must not be able to get out at this time.

She didn't go to look for Zhong Yu anymore, so she asked Bajin to turn the ox cart and hurried to the market.

"Don't pretend to be dumb, hurry up and get the deposit back!" As soon as she entered the alley, Du Mei saw many people gathered in front of her stall, and some people shouted loudly.

"Yes, yes, this is a violation of the king's law, how can there be ice!" The other continued.

"Shhhh There are sharp-eyed ones, and when they see Du Mei coming, they are old customers next door, and they still have to give some face.

"I'm afraid of a ball, you're afraid, I'm not afraid, do you know who opened the Drunken Immortal Building, I will scare you to death if I say it!" There was a middle-aged fat man in a long shirt who said with spit flying.

"Oh, I'm curious, where did the Drunken Immortal Tower open it?" Du Mei walked in with a smile on his face.

"Sister Meizi!" Where has the eldest girl seen this kind of forced debt scene, she shrunk in the corner and was very aggrieved, when she saw Du Mei, she flew forward, and her eyelashes flashed with tears.

"Meizi, this... The old man has been helping to play the round, but there is no ice and the money must be returned, this is a natural thing, he is an honest man, and his mouth is stupid, he really can't talk about these people.

"Brother, thank you, you're busy, I'll deal with it." Du Mei smiled at him.

"You're the stall owner, hurry up and pay back!" The middle-aged fat man stretched out his fat palm.

"Shopkeeper, what is your surname?" Du Mei asked unhurriedly.

"Don't give your surname Liu, what are you asking about this, it's right to pay back the money quickly

Pass through! "Liu Gengsheng is not a shopkeeper, at best he is a street runner outside. Because his mother serves the hostess, he has a bit of face in the store. He was flattered by Du Mei as the shopkeeper, not to mention how beautiful it was in his heart.

"Shopkeeper Liu, don't be impatient, the ice is not available, I have no rut, but the money will definitely be returned to everyone." Du Mei immediately asked the eldest girl to take a look at the bookkeeping book.

There were a total of eighteen households that ordered ice on the first day, and Zuixianlou ordered five, and a total of twenty-two pieces of ice should be provided, and half of the deposit was charged for each piece of ice, and a total of eleven yuan was collected. Du Mei read the accounts and remembered them very clearly, and nodded to the eldest girl with satisfaction.

"Big girl, you and Brother Leng go to Yunshang Embroidery Village to get twenty hanging money." Du Meilang said.

"This ...... This is ......" In front of so many people, the eldest girl finally swallowed her words. Since he and the two were stunned, he went.

"Don't worry, although we don't sell ice anymore, herbal tea and food will continue to be sold, and we will never fail to pay you back." Du Mei closed the ledger and said lightly.

The onlookers, seeing that Du Mei was not in a hurry or slow, settled down. Some people are a little embarrassed and feel that they are too persecuted.

"Meizi, we don't mean anything else. This year's day is too hot, this day is not a little more poisonous than in previous years, and we also want to buy something else to cool down. The man who often came to eat said sneeringly, and the others nodded in agreement.

"I know, I understand." Du Mei had a smile on her face throughout.

The eldest girl and the second stunned man quickly took the money, Du Mei returned it one by one, and the onlookers quickly dispersed.

"Hey, why don't you give it back to me?" Liu Gengsheng said a little annoyed.

"Shopkeeper Liu, I'm curious, who opened the Drunken Immortal Building?" Du Mei still smiled. She glanced at the big girl, who hurriedly closed the stall door.

"You...... What does this do, you ask? Liu Gengsheng was a little nervous and looked at her warily.

"I'm afraid you also know, the ice seller has been arrested, and I have a good relationship with them, and I have to be saved." Du Mei pushed a bunch of money in front of Liu Gengsheng.

"You want to buy me, no way!" Liu Gengsheng raised his head arrogantly.

"His grandmother's, wait for me to beat you up, see if you say it or not!" The second stunned man rolled up his sleeves in annoyance.

"Don't mess around, our Zhongshu Lingfu is not something you and other grass people can offend!" Liu Gengsheng jumped in fright.

"Zhongshu Lingfu, where do we need to alarm Lord Zhongshu Ling for this little thing, Shopkeeper Liu can help us." Du Mei has read a lot of books, and she has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and she knows how much she knows the truth of the seven officials in front of the prime minister.

Liu Gengsheng said in a hurry that he leaked his mouth, his face turned red, but he didn't let go.

"All you have to do is introduce me to someone who can help." Du Mei added the four hangings to the original one.

Liu Gengsheng was finally moved: "The young lady of my family is seeing a doctor in Yujitang, if you want to see it, hurry up." ”

"Good, good." Du Mei nodded again and again, and paid the subscription for the two and a half ice.

Liu Gengsheng took the money in hand, and the two rushed to Yujitang.

In the scorching heat of midsummer, there are many people suffering from heat stroke and scabies, and the patients in the hospital are queuing up with sighs and sighs.

The guy behind the counter saw Du Mei and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Senior sister, you're here." ”

When Liu Gengsheng heard this, he looked at Du Mei and changed his eyes: "You...... You are ......"

"Dr. Zhong is my uncle and master." Du Mei has never used this relationship to show off, but today he had to use it as a last resort to save people, and he wouldn't mind.

"Ah, you said it earlier." Liu Gengsheng hurriedly led Du Mei to a secluded place, where a beautiful woman sat and next to two stout women stood beside her.

"Young lady, this is Dr. Zhong's niece, please help you?" Liu Gengsheng bent down and said respectfully.

"Really?" The sound was like a warbler's cry, and the beautiful woman slowly turned her head.

Sure enough, she is a beauty who sinks into a fish and a goose, her eyebrows are like distant daisies, her eyes are like bright stars, her face is as white as the moon, and her lips are red as cherry blossoms. The black hair is tied into a falling horse bun, which is decorated with treasured gold hairpins, and the pearls are shaken on the beads as large as rice grains and hang on the sideburns. She was wearing a light green cloud brocade tulle floor-length skirt, embroidered with a concubine-colored red lotus on the skirt, and the whole person was really beautiful like a hibiscus out of the water.

"Hello young lady." Du Mei Yili bent his knees and blessed.

"Excuse me, since you are Dr. Zhong's closest relative, please do me a favor." The beautiful woman's face is red, and she is even more beautiful. 2k reading web
