Chapter 13 Manniang

"Where did the beggars go, go away."

The capital is a place where every inch of land is valuable, and all the merchants are afraid that someone will dirty the ground in front of them and pollute the God of Wealth.

At the door of Fu'an Hall, there was a woman in ragged clothes with a thin yellow face, her old and swarthy hands were reaching out to the people inside, muttering that only she could hear: "Help me"

The shopkeeper in the middle was drinking tea, and the woman who had been defiled was pulled out. The guys under his hands, looking at the dirt on the woman's body, no one wanted to step forward to help, and kicked the person directly.

"An old immortal, it's not good where to go, to come here. Hurry up and get the hell out of here. ”

Lang Zhong, who was sitting in the clinic, wanted to step forward and say something, but before he could speak, he was glared back by the shopkeeper: "Just do your own thing." ”

The medical hall closest to the Song Mansion in Fu'an Hall, Song Lier saw this scene before she walked to the door with Xiguo.

"What's going on?" Song Lier asked Xiguo to help the woman up first, and then went in and asked the shopkeeper in the room: "Shopkeeper Liu." ”

Shopkeeper Liu, who was drinking tea, heard this voice, and hurriedly put the tea on the table next to him, and a lot of water was cheapened on it, and he bowed and stepped forward to greet Song Li'er.

"Little lady, why are you here? Didn't the owner come today? Compared with Song Dingfeng, the owner, Song Lier is even more feared by Shopkeeper Liu.

"Uncle Qian is in trouble." Song Li'er ignored it and asked Xiguo to send people to Xie Langzhong next to him to check his pulse.

"The little lady is serious." Xie Qian is Langzhong of Fu'an Hall, and everyone usually calls him Uncle Qian.

Shopkeeper Liu knew that Song Li'er should have seen what happened just now, and immediately defended herself: "Little lady, this is also for the good of the medical hall, if everyone drills into the medical hall, then our medical hall will not have to be opened." ”

Song Li'er still ignored it, and only paid attention to the lady's situation: "How is it?" ”

"Back to the little lady, this lady is just weak inside." Xie Langzhong squatted down and checked the place where he had just been kicked by those guys: "It's not serious, but it needs to be raised for a few days." ”

Song Li'er nodded, making sure that there was no big problem here, before turning around: "Shopkeeper Liu, give me an explanation." ”

"As I said earlier, I'm here for the good of the hospital." On this November day, Shopkeeper Liu was sweating profusely, still bowing to Song Lier.

"For the sake of the hospital? When a sick and wounded woman is at the door, and you beat them, tell me which one is better? Song Lier also knows that Shopkeeper Liu hates the poor and loves the rich, but he is not sloppy in doing things, he is clean and neat, and his hands are not unclean. As far as today's matter is concerned, Song Lier still feels that she has to talk about it.

"Little lady, you don't know that this is going to be the end of the year, and the number of homeless people in the city is increasing one after another, so we can't just pick it up as long as it's a sick person. If that's the case, how can the hospital still be opened? "Shopkeeper Liu thinks he's right. You can't accept anyone because Song Lier is kind-hearted. There are still several people to feed here.

Song Li'er remembered that Lixue had taken a batch of medicinal herbs, and many medical centers had insufficient inventory, if she had followed her thoughts, the medical centers would have to close early this year.

"If you can help, just take a hand. If you can't do it, you can do it, but you can't hurt anyone. ”

"This is natural, I didn't want to beat people just now, it's just that these guys think this old woman is not clean, so they did this, the little lady should not be angry." Shopkeeper Liu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Song Li'er hadn't beaten him up in the past, he wouldn't have let go, but now he can listen to it.

Song Lier responded with a sentence that was not salty or light.

I don't know how the harvest of the medicine garden in Bozhou is this year?

Song Lier told Xiguo to take the woman to the backyard to wash up and help her prepare something to eat. and he checked the accounts in front.

"The owner is out?" Shopkeeper Liu took out the account book and put it in front of Song Lier, and made a new pot of tea for Song Lier.

"There are fewer herbs, and Daddy went to Bozhou." The account book, Song Li'er just flipped through it, and finally sent it to the Song Mansion, and then checked carefully, as long as it was to check the inventory of medicinal herbs: "How many herbs are there here?" ”

"There are a lot of people here, and there are a lot of herbs prepared, so there is no problem this year." Shopkeeper Liu took Song Li'er to the warehouse: "It's just that the little lady, you also know that the commonly used herbs have always been used quickly." ”

"How long will it last?" The herbs taken away by Lixue are all commonly used, and even if they can be made up in Bozhou, they will enter the palace, and the herbs in the medical hall will still be few.

"At the beginning of next month at most." Shopkeeper Liu still said the least in previous years.

"Okay." Song Lier wanted to complain about Fang Zicheng in her heart, but when she thought of her sick appearance, she couldn't blame her.

The situation was made clear to Song Lier, and Shopkeeper Liu was also down-to-earth. Although sometimes Song Lier is impulsive, she has a lot of ideas and can solve things.

Xiguo came out of the backyard with the woman, her face still not looking very good, but she looked much more comfortable than before, and she was in good spirits.

"The little lady's great kindness is beyond the reach of the mother." Man Niang knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Song Li'er.

Song Li'er didn't react for a while, and when she came back to her senses, Manniang had already finished: "No need, my guy here also injured you, don't blame it." ”

"It's okay, I understand." She was dressed in such tatters, no matter which medical hall she entered, her condition would not be as good as just now, fortunately, she met Song Lier, otherwise she would have died outside, and no one cared about her.

"Is there anyone who defects to the capital when Manniang comes to the capital?" Since Song Lier has helped people, she has to finish helping.

"Yes, I just don't know if the little lady knows each other or not?" Manniang looked at Song Li'er dressed in splendid clothes, and the people next to her were respectful to her, maybe she could really help herself: "I want to find Zhou Niangzi." ”

Zhou Niangzi? Song Li'er searched in her mind.

"Xie Yushi's wife's surname is Zhou." Xiguo reminded in a whisper beside him.

"Do you know where she lives?" Song Li'er had to find out first whether Manniang was looking for Xie Yushi's wife or other Zhou Niangzi.

"I've also heard that she's the wife of the Imperial Historian, and I'm not sure. I can only have the mentality of giving it a try. Manniang saw the distrust in her eyes in Song Lier's eyes: "On the day the Zhou family was wiped out two years ago, it happened that my lady gave birth to a child, and I asked my wife for leave. When I went back in the evening, I found that only my wife still had a breath. She told me that if there was still anyone alive in the Zhou family, I must take care of it. Madame treats me like a mountain, and I naturally want to do my best to find it. Some of them are blurred, and I don't know who is who, and I'm not sure there's anyone else. I've been looking for the past two years, and a few days ago someone said that Yushi married a Zhou lady, who is also from Manxian County. I just wanted to try my luck here. ”

The Zhou family was destroyed, which is a well-known thing in the world. For a while, it was difficult to distinguish between the truth and falsehood of the mother's words.

Now that Xie Yushi has passed away, Xie Mansion is in mourning, is it inappropriate to bring Manniang over at this time?

After thinking about it, if what Manniang said was true, she could comfort the Zhou family by bringing it over a little, and she was also an old man in the family.

"You are resting here now, and I will take you to Xie Yushi's Mansion tomorrow."

"Thank you, little lady." Manniang was very grateful, a basket of tears rolled in her eyes, and after thinking about it for a long time, she only thought of such a sentence to express her gratitude.

Song Lier instructed the shopkeeper and went out.

When I returned to the Song Mansion after finishing my work, it was already time to eat. Lai Shi laid out the dishes in the hall.

"You're tired today, aren't you? Come, wash your hands and eat. "Li Shi can't help the business of the medical center, but Li Shi handles all the big and small things in the family in an orderly manner.

"It's just a matter of brains." Song Lier washed her hands and sat down: "Hasn't the second brother come back yet?" ”

"Not yet, word came from his side that he was busy." Li Shi put some of her favorite dishes in Song Lier's bowl: "Eat more, A-Niang specially cooked today." ”

"I'll bring him food later." Song Lier wanted to know how the case was developing.

"I'm tired of the day, so don't go out. If there is anything you want to know, just wait for your second brother to come back and ask him. "Can the Li family still know what Song Li'er is thinking?

"Hehe, Auntie, I'm not tired, you just let me run, so I can relax." Song Li'er smirked and was coquettish at Li's.

"Let's eat." Even if Li Shi didn't agree, Song Lier would run out, and she simply didn't say anything.

"A-Niang is the best." Song Lier didn't forget to praise the Li family.

"You girl." Li Shi didn't have much to do with Song Li'er: "If you go to cook two more dishes, Jiang Shaoqing estimates that you won't eat it." ”

"Let's ask whose aunt is the best, of course, it is the Song family of Ginkgo Fang, Mrs. Song is the best." Song Dingfeng is not at home, she and Song Wanjing are busy, and it is easier for Li to be cranky when he stays at home. Song Lier also took this opportunity to make Li Shi happy.

After eating, Song Lier took the food box that Li had prepared and went to Dali Temple.

The people of Dali Temple were also familiar with Song Li'er and did not stop them.

Jiang Zhu, Song Wanjing and Chen Xueqing were all there, and the three of them were all frowning, looking at each other, provoking the atmosphere of others who didn't dare to breathe.

"What are they doing?" Song Li'er whispered to Jiang Feng, who was guarding beside her.

"I don't know, I saw them like this when I came back from outside." When Jiang Feng came back from his errands, he thought about reporting it, and looked at the state of the three people, and he didn't know whether to disturb or not. Just standing by and waiting.

"It's time to eat." Song Li'er spoke, then opened the food box, and the aroma of the food inside immediately wafted out.

"Madame Song's craftsmanship." The first to react was Chen Xueqing: "Hurry up and put it on the table, I'm going to starve to death." The two of them convulsed and sat motionless. So much so that I went along. ”

Song Wanjing and Jiang Zhu also came back to their senses, and Song Wanjing opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you tell you not to go out at night in the future?" ”

"It's not that you didn't go home for dinner, A-Niang can't rest assured." Song Lier laid out the dishes, one bowl of rice per person. She was happy that she was prescient and guessed that Chen Xueqing was probably there.

"How's the case going?"

"Xie's case went wrong before."
