Chapter 23: Door-to-door medicine
Late at night.
In the courtyard of Qiao's house, it was already dark, Luo Yu carried Nizi into the house, and the big yellow dog followed behind with his tail wagging his tail.
"Let's go back. ”
Luo Yu glanced back at the rhubarb.
Rhubarb seemed to be able to understand human speech, and disappeared in the wind.
A moment later, it ran to the farm behind Qiao's yard, where a thatched hut stood alone in the moonlight.
There is an old wooden rocking chair under the eaves, and a bad old man is lying on it to enjoy the shade, holding a banana fan one by one, as if he is drunk and waking up, and there is an orange and yellow gourd next to it.
"Scrap wood, back...... Gollum!"
He is the black uncle who guards the farm for the Qiao family, as his name suggests, his skin is dark and shiny, like an old coal miner, he didn't use his eyes to know that it was the big yellow dog who came back, and he muttered and picked up the wine gourd and took a sip.
"Wang~"
Rhubarb roared, and every time he heard the name "waste wood", his eyes would be terrifying.
"Look at what, the second lady didn't reward you with a bone, it's useless for you to stare at me, go back to your kennel and cool off......"
Uncle Hei babbled and sent away the rhubarb, his eyes narrowed a gap, looked in the direction of the compound, and muttered to himself, "Old man Qiao, little old man, I tried my best, this family is coming, can you keep it, it depends on the creation of your descendants, alas......"
......
Knock knock!
At the door of Xiao Qiao's room on the second floor, Luo Yu was knocking lightly.
Normally, at this point, Qiao Xiangxue went to bed early, but tonight her sister went out and didn't return, so she kept her heart and read a book under the lamp.
Hearing the knock on the door, Qiao Xiangxue hurriedly came in her pajamas, and as soon as she opened the door and saw that it was Luo Yu, her face immediately turned cold.
"You two, do you dare to be a little more playful?"
She was very unhappy, at this time Luo Yu was standing in front of her sleeping sister on her back, which was originally a very warm picture, but it made her very uncomfortable.
Probably because in her heart, she hasn't accepted the fact that Luo Yu is her husband, so she doesn't want Yumeng to lie on someone's back so aggressively, in case someone is not right, how will this girl marry in the future?
"I'll leave it to you. ”
Luo Yu put Xiao Qiao down and hugged her sister.
Qiao Xiangxue subconsciously caught it, and wanted to count a few more words, but Luo Yu ignored her and went back to the house.
"What kind of person, you did something wrong, and you lose your temper!"
She thought that Luo Yu was very unhappy with her discipline just now, but she didn't know that Luo Yu didn't bother to see her as a little woman.
"Brother-in-law, get up early tomorrow and help me train cats and cats......" Qiao Yumeng pursed her little lips, her mouth was crystal and flowing, talking in her sleep.
Qiao Xiangxue was angry and funny, and she also heard that the reason why Nizi rebelled was because someone obeyed the cat training for her.
"Such a big girl, she still messes around with an idle guy all day long, and she doesn't want to get married. ”
Qiao Xiangxue felt that the girl in her arms was very heavy, and suddenly realized that this Nizi was already a big girl, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of man Yumeng would marry in the future.
She, who is an older sister, is cold to everyone, and she is also very strict with her sister on the surface, but in her heart, she has always been very doting.
"You can marry any man, but don't think about being like your sister and be that kind of guy. ”
Thinking of marriage, Qiao Xiangxue couldn't help but glance at her room with resentment, because of that guy, the happiness of her life was ruined!
......
Early in the morning, Qiao Xiangxue went to the company as usual, and Luo Yu was lazy in the eyes of his wife's family as usual.
"Uncle, someone came to visit?"
After breakfast, the maid at home, Wang Ma, came to inform.
"There are guests coming, let your master go and greet me, what are you looking for me?" Luo Yu glanced at the old man who was reading the newspaper over there.
Last night, the old guy didn't bring the half-demon dog back after all.
But it can be seen that he is very unhappy in his heart, and when he gets up early in the morning, he doesn't pay much attention to Luo Yu, probably because he wants to use this silent way to express his dissatisfaction to Luo Yu.
But Qiao Tianbo finally overestimated his status in Luo Yu's heart, and also overestimated the status of this family in Luo Yu's heart.
If it weren't for taking care of his mother's feelings, Luo Yu would have patted his ass and left.
"Which guest is it?"
Hearing that a guest had arrived, Qiao Tianbo stood up with a swish.
After the last incident, he didn't dare to let this moody son-in-law be the master of hospitality anymore.
"Master, people are here to find my uncle. Wang Ma smiled.
"Looking for me?" Luo Yu wondered, he didn't have any sense of existence in this home for the time being, and the guests of the Qiao family shouldn't have made a special trip to visit him, and in addition, he didn't have any friends in this city.
"Bring guests in. ”
Without waiting for Qiao Tianbo to speak, Luo Yu took it upon himself to meet the guest.
Wang Ma went out for a trip, and then walked into the hall with an old man and a girl, "Two, please come inside." ”
The person who came was a girl in a long blue dress, followed by a rickety, but energetic old man, quite a master and a servant.
The girl was born very beautiful, with a good figure, fair skin, and a pair of big phoenix eyes flying obliquely upward, giving people a feeling of nobility, and her family background is very unusual.
"Yo, niece Lin Ying, what kind of wind blew you here, please take a seat. ”
Without waiting for Luo Yu to greet him, Qiao Tianbo greeted him with a smile, as if he recognized the identity of this girl.
How could Qiao Tianbo not recognize it?
In China, there are few prominent families that can match the Qiao family, and the Lin family in the imperial capital is one of the best.
"I've seen Qiao Ye, Ying'er came uninvited, took the liberty to disturb, and looked at Qiao Ye Haihan. ”
The girl Lin Ying smiled sweetly, said hello to the master of the Qiao family, and immediately looked at Luo Yu, "This must be the new aunt of the Qiao family, the eldest lady got married, and the Lin family failed to congratulate in time, so don't blame Master Qiao." ”
Saying that, the girl glanced at the rickety old man, took a brocade box from the latter's hand, and said with a smile after opening it, "Ying'er is here to represent the Lin family, congratulations to the Qiao family on their marriage, and wish my uncle and Miss a hundred years of good together." ”
Qiao Tianbo saw that there was an ancient famous painting in the brocade box, which was priceless, and immediately smiled, "Haha! My niece is too polite, this matter is not good for my Qiao family, and I couldn't send the wedding card in time, I hope my niece will go back, make amends to Ling Zun on my behalf, come to someone, accept this generous gift!"
Wang's mother hurriedly stepped forward to receive gifts for the master.
The old man was happy with an ancient famous painting, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, but Luo Yu didn't react.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which are the favorite things of sour and rotten literati, are worthless in Luo Yu's eyes!
It was still the Song family's wild ginseng last night, which can solve the urgent need.
Lin Ying was also secretly observing Luo Yu's words and deeds, and when she saw a precious ancient painting, she couldn't make Luo Yu happy, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
You must know that with the current situation of the Qiao family, it is not easy to receive such a generous gift.
She muttered in her heart, this new aunt of the Qiao family is either facial paralysis or short-sighted, and she doesn't understand the value of that ancient painting at all.
But it doesn't matter, after fulfilling the courtesies for the Lin family, it's time to deal with some of her personal matters.
"Master Qiao, don't hide it, Ying'er came this time, in addition to congratulating her aunt and young lady on their new marriage, there is one more thing, asking for your aunt. Lin Ying spoke slowly and politely.
"Oh, do you know my son-in-law?" Qiao Tianbo was surprised.
"I've never met. Lin Ying looked at Luo Yu with a sideways face, and Ying Ying smiled: "But I heard that the Song family originally had a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, which was given to my uncle last night, but unfortunately my brother has been seriously ill recently, and he must be recuperated with medicine, if my uncle is willing to cut his love, Ying'er is willing to pay three times the price to take it!"
