Chapter 14: The Yuan Family of Tin Furnace
The tin furnace is only a few miles away from Jiang Luofan's thatched house, not far.
Gu Jiu'er was led all the way to Tin Furnace Town by Jiang Luofan, fortunately she didn't meet anyone on the way, but when she arrived nearby, she could see the town from a distance, Gu Jiu'er suddenly stopped.
On the way, Jiang Luofan kept chattering about their destination today, Yuan's house, when he suddenly saw her stop, he felt strange in his heart, and he also stopped to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"You go in first, let the others see the two of us walking together, you'll be gossiped about, right?" Gu Jiu'er looked at him sideways and said with a smile. After all, this is a feudal society, and it is definitely not good for him to be seen walking on the street so loudly.
If his unscrupulous wife sees it, she is fine, but the benefactor is probably not good.
Jiang Luofan's eyes flashed slightly, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to the thatched house first, and wait for you to come back." "He didn't have to greet those disgusting women during the day, and he didn't want to be with them.
Therefore, he preferred to go back to the thatched hut and wait for her to return.
Gu Jiu'er felt strange in her heart and asked, "Is it okay if you haven't been there?" In case she finds out ......"
"You don't have to worry, that person will only be there at night, and at other times, she won't care about me, don't worry." Still, can you find the Yuan family? He only said the specific location of the Yuan family, but he hadn't been there, just said that it was ambiguous, could she find it?
Gu Jiu'er smiled confidently, pointed to her mouth, and said, "Haha, of course you can, I still have this mouth." I just can't find it, I can still ask. ”
"I see, then you be careful, I'll go back."
"Okay, you go back!"
——
The Yuan family of the tin furnace, according to Jiang Luofan, is a well-known family in the town, and it can be regarded as one of the few rich people in the town.
Their ancestors are said to have been officials in the court, and after they retired, they came to the tin furnace and started a cloth business, and the business was also very prosperous. Until now, it has also had a foundation for decades, and it has jumped up to become one of the richest people in the town.
And this Yuan family is the purpose of Gu Jiu'er's trip.
Jiang Luofan said that the Yuan family has a single lineage, and when it comes to this generation, there is only one daughter. The ancestor of the Yuan family is said to be a civil official, although even though it is now a rich family, his temperament and reputation have always been very good, and the daughters born are all people of good character, not as arrogant and domineering as other rich families.
In this generation, the daughter of the Yuan family, Yuan Tingru, is also an elegant person who loves to read, gentle and approachable. It's just a pity that she suddenly fell ill and was bedridden all day long, and she was terminally ill.
The head of the Yuan family was very worried, invited all the Langzhong in the town, and even sent someone to the capital to invite a doctor, but he was helpless. Seeing that Yuan Tingru's life was not long enough, he posted a notice in the town, seeking folk masters, and if he could be cured, he would be rewarded with ten thousand taels.
Daughter...... Although Gu Jiu'er has no concept of the money in this world, Wan Liang still makes her very excited.
After she entered the town, she walked to the southwest of the town according to Jiang Luofan's instructions, and after several inquiries, she found the Yuan family.
Sure enough, she saw a sign standing on the left side of the gate of the Yuan family, on which was a piece of yellowed paper.
Gu Jiu'er quietly walked in front of the sign, looked up, and the family members standing on both sides of the gate of the Yuan family naturally saw her. The originally decadent eyes lit up slightly, but I saw that although the woman was good-looking, her face was yellow and thin, and her body was thinner than that of a man. She only has a wooden hairpin on her head, and she is still wearing a green shirt that does not fit.
His gaze dimmed instantly.
It seems that it is just a civilian who came to see it out of curiosity, right? These days, there are fewer and fewer people who come to unveil the list, and even fewer and fewer people come to see it. Why, such a good person as their young lady, has such a short life......
What happened next was beyond their expectations.
I saw that the thin man stretched out his hand, gently tore off the paper on it, paced slowly, walked up the steps of the Yuan family, and walked in front of them.
With an indifferent smile on his face, he handed the paper in his hand to them, and said softly: "Please also inform me that Xiaomin is here to treat Miss Yuan." ”
The two housekeepers at the door looked at the woman with an indifferent smile on their faces in front of them in a daze.
walked in, only to find that although this woman was wearing an ill-fitting green shirt and was thin, she naturally had a sense of indifference on her body. Unlike those civilians, who were timid, on the contrary, it made them feel that this woman came to the Yuan family and treated their young lady as easily as eating at home.
Such a person will definitely not be an ordinary person.
The two of them looked at each other, and one of them arched his hand at her, only bending slightly, not to lose his demeanor, but not to make people feel uncomfortable.
"The girl Qing will wait here for a while, but my master is going out today, only the master is here, and the little one will report first."
Gu Jiu'er was very surprised by their attitude, originally thinking that they would be kicked out as inadequate. Being treated politely like this, Gu Jiu'er was already satisfied. So he nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome sister." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." The man waved his hand and said with a smile. Nodding to the man beside him, he turned and ran through the door.
Gu Jiu'er also waited patiently at the door, and after about half an hour, the man ran back, bowed deeply to her, and said with a smile: "Girl, please come in with the little one, the master husband is waiting for you inside!" ”
