Chapter 67: Counting is Counting
The dog twisted the hem of his clothes with both hands and did not say anything.
Zhao Langzhong squatted in front of the dog, took his hand and said, "If you really have nowhere to go, follow me." I don't have a wife and children, and you can't stand the grievances with me. If you have a better place to go one day, you can leave at any time. ”
The dog glanced at the star fruit timidly, and then knelt in front of Zhao Langzhong: "I won't let you feed for nothing, I will do laundry and cook, and I will also sweep the floor and do chores." When I can earn money, I will pay you back when I earn money. ”
Zhao Langzhong suddenly remembered his son who died young, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of the dog's head and said, "Let's do the housework together, and I don't need you to pay me back any silver." If you really don't want to owe me, you might as well be my adopted son. It's fair that I raise you young, and you raise me old. ”
The dog looked down and thought about it, and then looked up with a firm look: "Okay!" ”
"What's your name? It's going to be a family, and you can't keep calling you dogs. ”
"I don't have a name!" The little boy felt a little inferior, twisted his fingers and said, "My mother doesn't allow me to ask about my father, nor do I ask about other families or anything like that." I have lived in this village since I was born, and I have never met any relatives except my mother. ”
Maybe it's another unbearable past.
"Since you don't have a big name, then follow my surname Zhao. Boys can't be uneducated, and they can't be less heroic, so your name is Zhao Wenying. ”
"Zhao Wenying!" Goudan silently read the name twice, and smiled gratefully at Zhao Langzhong: "Thank you, Dad!" ”
Crisply gave birth to a father, and Zhao Lang's center was about to melt: "Okay, good boy!" ”
He took Zhao Wenying's hand and walked back, thinking about his future: "Even if you call me a father, I can't lose you." Let's go to school tomorrow, and we can also take the test to show off our talents and make a difference!"
"I want to study medicine with you, Daddy." Zhao Wenying looked at Zhao Langzhong with a pleading face, and the look in his eyes was very firm.
No need to ask, everyone knows that he was hit by his mother's death.
Star fruit lowered her head reproachfully, Zhao Langzhong glanced at her comfortingly, and then nodded to Zhao Wenying: "It's okay, you learn from me first, and when you want to go to school, it's not too late for us to go again!" ”
The last time the house was raided, all the books in Zhao Langzhong's house were taken away. Fortunately, star fruit has always been very careful in reading books, and she still has the habit of copying books in case she can't find books in the future.
Now that Zhao Wenying wants to learn, she moved all the books stored at home.
Seeing her running here and again, Zhao Langzhong persuaded her: "As doctors, we should be more light on birth, old age, sickness and death." Wen Ying can't blame you for the fucking thing, don't drill the horns yourself. ”
"If it's a terminal illness that can't be cured, it's just a ......" Carambola snorted and turned her head to look out the window: "Master, can we grow ginseng by ourselves?" It is also a medicinal material, forsythia, honeysuckle, He Shou Wu can be planted, and ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum should also be planted, right? ”
Zhao Langzhong looked at her like a madman, and wanted to persuade her, but finally changed his words: "The reason why ginseng is expensive is that it has strict requirements for the growth environment and the growth rate is unusually slow. In our Shudi, it is definitely not easy to regain success. If you can really think about planting it, it's a good thing. ”
Carambola nodded: "I want to read a few related books first, can Master help me find them?" ”
"My junior brother should have it there, wait for me to write to him and ask him. You also have a snack on the affairs of our shop, and you will open it up in the near future, and it is not like that to drag it all the time. ”
So, star fruit was busy with the affairs of Zhang Luo's pharmacy again.
As soon as she entered the county seat, she heard Qiao An's troubles in the county magistrate's office. Her brow furrowed, and her heart lifted.
Running to the pickle shop to ask, Zhang Cun smiled and said: "Qiao Anke is really a man, he slapped Zhou County's face in front of the powerful people in the city, do you dare to think that the people are easy to bully?" ”
asked star fruit again: "What about you and Miss Zhou in the past?" Really? If it's true, why did she come to the rescue when you were beaten so badly? But if it's fake, the last time our shop opened, she really came to cheer again......"
Carambola had no intention of chatting with him and asked him, "What about Joan?" What's wrong with him, the good face of the Zhou family will definitely not spare him this time. ”
Zhang Cun was asked: "I only know that he was not caught at that time, so I don't know what happened next." ”
"Isn't there an insider uploading it on the street?"
"There are so many rumors on the street, they are amazing and incredible, where can they be believed?"
Zhang Cun was right, no matter how anxious the star fruit was, he had to put Qiao An's matter aside: "What about the shop I asked you to find before, is it suitable?" ”
"Don't say it, there really is!"
Taking advantage of the noon break, Zhang Cun took star fruit to see the shop: "The medical hall is not in the most prosperous place, the environment here is quiet, and it is not far from the downtown area." The three pawnshops below and the three attics above can be converted into housing. It's far from home, so you have to have a place to stay. ”
The star fruit boy carefully looked at the house, and negotiated the price with the landlord, and the shop was set.
Back at the pickle shop, Zhang Cun discussed with star fruit again: "There are a lot of big households ordering vegetables, and the business here is also very good, but some pickles at home are not available, and they are about to run out of stock." ”
"Then let A-Niang and A-Sister do more!" Carambola was worried about Qiao An, and she couldn't lift her spirits: "If they can't be busy, ask someone to help." ”
"That's what I mean!"
The two gossiped for a while, and the star fruit took their leave.
The place has just been settled, and it stands to reason that there is no need to go to the yamen to go through the regulations. But the star fruit was uneasy, and arrived at the gate of the county government in a flash. As soon as she was careful, she simply went in and took the rules of the pharmacy away, and by the way, she also inquired about Qiao An's news.
At the same time, Zhou County, who had been pretending to be sick for several days because he had no face to see people, was slapping the table: "What about people? Did you live there? Liang County is so big, can he Qiao An go to the sky like this, and disappear out of thin air? ”
The errand officer lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
Miss Zhou hurried over with the help of the maid, first handed his father a letter, and then persuaded: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, what kind of anger should a father and a scholar who has not grown all hair at this juncture?" ”
With a glance from her, the maid and the servant withdrew. She came to her father's side, and persuaded him while helping him pinch his shoulders: "This is all on the surface, Qiao An has a good and bad people all over the city who know that it has something to do with my Zhou family." Why don't we wait for the rumors to pass and then we act? ”
"A poor scholar, if you want to take a scientific examination, you can't get around Daddy. After he endured a few more hardships, he understood his own catties. When the time comes, Ah Dad is still afraid that he won't cry and shout and beg? ”
At this moment of speaking, Zhou Xianling had already finished reading the letter, and then his old face was full of bitterness: "I offended everyone to death, and asked others to help see a doctor." Be polite please, how please? ”
He slapped the letter on the table in a rage, brushed away his daughter, who had helped him pinch his shoulder, and stomped back and forth in the room in worry.
Miss Zhou took the letterhead and looked at it, and her face was sad: "That star fruit is not a fuel-efficient lamp, An Zhiyuan's bastard must have offended her to death, otherwise she would never have been locked up in the backyard and refused to give in to An Zhiyuan." ”
"Who says it isn't!" Zhou Xianling took the teacup and wanted to drink water, but remembered the confused lawsuit last time and was so angry that he paused the teacup on the table: "The nobles in Beijing have all lived in the prefect's mansion, and their family is still thinking about making trouble." If he gets the star fruit to be treated, he is not afraid that the star fruit will get close to the body of the third prince and shake the old bottom of his family? ”
Since the An family dares to let the star fruit go, they must be sure that she will not be able to turn over the waves.
The officials and servants have all come, and they will definitely take the assessment of officials by the way, and the assessment is related to promotion and wealth, and no one wants to be unruly and chaotic at this time.
Don't be strong, don't be arrogant, can star fruit be fiddled with by them?
was worried, and a servant came outside to ask for instructions, saying that star fruit had come to open the regulations of the pharmacy, and also vaguely inquired about Qiao An's affairs. Ask what to do with this person, this matter!
When Miss Zhou heard this, she immediately laughed: "Invite Sister Yang to come in and talk, and I'll talk about it later." ”
Before the star fruit entered the house, he heard Zhou Xianling drop something in the house: "Spare him?" Even if I have the heart to spare him, the court can't spare him! A small white body, humiliating the court officials in public, slandering and slandering the reputation of the officials, if this matter is settled, where is the majesty of the court, where is the majesty of the saint? ”
"Dad will spare Qiao An, if you really arrest him and send him to trial, his future in this life will be over. But an ant-like character, don't take him seriously. He also collects evidence of his insults to you, and you feel uncomfortable looking at those all day long! ”
"Didn't Governor An ask you to find a famous doctor to treat Gongzi An? Go ahead and get down to business, and don't worry about these little things. ”
Seeing star fruit standing at the door in a blink of an eye, Miss Zhou hurriedly went out to greet her, and at the same time secretly gave his father a look.
"After suffering such a great humiliation, how can this official still have the heart to find a doctor? Let the officials go and catch me, dig three feet into the ground. Last time, the Qiao family was wronged, but this time it really humiliated the official. When he was caught, the official had to beg the prefect to sentence him for a serious crime. ”
Carambola watched the play for a long time, and had already guessed the purpose of their invitation to watch the play.
Didn't you just want to use Qiao An's matter as a bargaining chip and force her to see An Zhiyuan?
But is that a bargaining chip? Who in Shu didn't know that Jingli had sent a big official down, what did he dare to do to Qiao An at such a juncture?
Carambola was disdainful, but she still cooperated with an anxious look, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Zhou Xianling: "Ask the eldest master to let Qiao An go, the folk girl will kowtow to you for him and apologize, and the folk girl is willing to share the worries of the adults to treat An Gongzi." ”
When she went to the state capital, she must have found an opportunity to get close to the important people in Beijing. There is no reason for the An family and the Zhou family to do evil, and in the end, they can still get the blue eyes of the court, rise to prominence, be promoted and make a fortune!
