Chapter 9 Breathing for My Cousin-in-law (Second Shift)
Du Tianxiang secretly said that if you are straightforward by nature, there will be no straightforward people in this world, and he said politely at the moment: "Old Zheng, I am just a doctor, I am good at taking the pulse of people and seeing patients, but the affairs of the court are confused, and Zheng Lao is only afraid that he asked the wrong person!" ”
As soon as Zheng Heng heard this, he hurriedly got up, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and sent them to him together with the one that Du Tianxiang handed over just now.
"Old Zheng, you are ......"
Zheng Heng said with a smile: "Imperial Doctor Du, the Zheng family has been scholarly for several generations, passed to me, although I, a virtuous and incompetent person, cannot revitalize the family business, but I can't let the Zheng family lose in my hands, I hope that Imperial Doctor Du will help me for the sake of me and my colleagues Lingzun, and the Zheng family will be grateful in the future!" ”
Zheng Heng's words, Du Tianxiang understood this, smiled faintly at the moment, stuffed a few silver tickets into his arms, and said busily: "Zheng Lao, sit down, I only know a little about this." ”
Zheng Heng saw that he accepted the silver ticket, and he breathed a sigh of relief, and said a few polite words, so he quietly waited for the following.
Du Tianxiang took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, coughed a few times, smiled, and whispered mysteriously: "I don't know if Zheng Lao has heard of the Jiang family's affairs a few days ago?" ”
Zheng Heng chuckled in his heart, and his heart was really because of the Jiang family, so he leaned forward and said, "The old man only heard a rough idea, I heard that the Jiang family has broken up, and I can't inquire about anything else." ”
Du Tianxiang glanced at Zheng Heng lightly and skillfully, and said slowly: "It's really a long story, and I'll make a long story short, this matter is all because of one person, and this person is from a concubine." Relying on the favor of the old lady, I was with my cousin when I was a girl in Jiangfu, oh. That is, the fourth lady of the Jiang family is not right, and she has framed my cousin-in-law three or four times. This incident was also caused by her instigation, so that the cousin-in-law was beaten by the old lady. ”
"The fourth lady was beaten with a cane by the old lady, so what about now?"
Du Tianxiang nodded and said: "Elder Zheng should have heard that the fourth lady of the Jiang Mansion was killed in Qingliang Mountain two years ago, and after I treated it, I finally saved a life, so the old lady has this cane." As a result, my cousin-in-law is still bedridden. But my cousin is an infatuated person. eyes, only my cousin in my heart. So...... Ay. Speaking of which, the Zheng family is also unjustified, and marrying such a mourning star is really unfortunate for the family. Not to mention ......"
Zheng Heng hurriedly said: "What's more? ”
Du Tianxiang sneered: "What's more, my cousin found out about Qingliang Mountain back then. In fact, this person was in collusion with her grandmother...... Buy Murder Girl! ”
Zheng Heng was stunned when he heard this, cold sweat broke out all over his body, and his heart jumped suddenly.
Du Tianxiang blinked his eyes, and said: "Because of this matter, the Jiang family has not allowed this person to come to the door again, and the brother of one of his mother's compatriots also lives in separate houses, and the old lady also got a small stroke because of this incident." Old Zheng, I'll say a little more. The Zheng family has a reputation for several generations, but don't be ruined because of her. My cousin will not be in the capital, and he will not be able to deal with some things. If you wait for him to free his hand, hey, it's hard to say! ”
Zheng Hengqiang suppressed the shock in his heart and waited for the following.
"My cousin, I understand, and he has been wronged. There is revenge and revenge, and the most is the person with clear grievances. If I hadn't asked for Mr. Zheng's age and my father's colleagues for 20 years, I would never have said these things to Mr. Zheng. ”
After that, Du Tianxiang picked up the teacup, glanced at Zheng Heng twice, took a sip, paused and said: "I heard that Zheng Lao is looking around for a maid named the autumn equinox, I advise Zheng Lao not to inquire, on the day this person was sold to the mansion, he was sent to Baihualou, this time, he should have been poisoned and dumb throat to learn the rules!" ”
……
Zheng Heng was sweating profusely and was helped out of the Du Mansion with two old legs, and the gangsters returned to the mansion in a nightmare, but before he sat down, he saw that Manager Zheng said with an anxious face: "Master, there is a problem with the account in the mansion?" ”
Zheng Heng waved his hand tiredly and motioned for him to continue.
Manager Zheng said in a low voice: "The sixth young grandmother has done something inside, and there is a total deficit of eight thousand six hundred and thirty taels. Master, you asked the small one to inquire into the dowry shop of the sixth young grandmother, and the small one also found out, there are six in total, four of which have changed hands, and the new owner is the grandmother in charge of the Xiao Mansion, that is, the sister of the sixth young grandmother. ”
After Mr. Zheng finished speaking, he bowed over and waited for the master's speech.
"My cousin will not be in the capital, and he will not be able to deal with some things, if he waits for his hands to be free, hey, it will be difficult to say!"
Du Tianxiang's calm and waveless voice seemed to ring in his ears. Zheng Heng slowly closed his eyes, as if he was a little tired.
The chief steward carefully looked at the old man's expression, and his heart beat a drum.
After a while, Zheng Heng opened his eyes violently, and said in a fierce voice: "This thing is rotten in your stomach, no one can say it, go out!" ”
……
In the evening, Du Tianxiang carried 10,000 taels of silver in his arms, and went to Xiao's mansion in a hurry, first walked around the courtyard of Mrs. Xiao, and after having dinner with the old lady, he went to Xiao Han's study with an excuse to eat.
In the courtyard of the study, Xin Yao held Weiyun's hand and walked slowly.
Since she was able to get out of bed, every day Li Xinyao always forced herself to walk around the yard a few times, thinking that she was a female man in her previous life, she ate hard, endured hunger, and could catch thieves and fight gangsters at critical times.
In this life, she was so weak that she was bedridden and took bitter medicine for three months, Jiang Xinyao couldn't bear her body to fall to the point of being comparable to Lin Daiyu, so she held on and exercised every day.
In the autumn dusk, the clouds are thick and heavy, and the sunset hides in the clouds, making its last struggle.
Xin Yao walked a few laps and gasped: "The third master is going to end in two days, tomorrow you let Meizi make some of the third master's usual favorite food, and send it back, I will treat him." ”
Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang were serving an orchid, and when they heard this, Mei Xiang smiled and said: "Grandma, everyone else is treated afterwards, but the eldest grandmother is rewarded in advance, and the relationship between the eldest grandmother and the third master of the house is really good." ”
Lan Xiang also chimed in.
Since Xin Yao said that, these two incense sticks have obviously warmed up with her, and they like to walk around her more and more.
"Who has a good relationship with your grandmother?" While speaking, Du Tianxiang shook a fan and fluttered.
Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang blushed, saluted the young master, and retreated knowingly.
Du Tianxiang glanced at Xin Yao and motioned for her to go to the study to talk again, and he swaggered into the room.
Jiang Xinyao saw that he was familiar with the door and did not have the slightest consciousness as a guest, so he hummed twice, and then slowly entered the room. But I saw that this guy was sitting at the desk and looking intently at the official book she had just written, and he didn't pay attention to him, and went straight to the collapse.
took a plate of peeled citrus handed by the light moon, ate a few petals, and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Du Tianxiang couldn't help sighing: "My cousin's handwriting is getting better and better, and it seems that my handwriting is more and more unsightly, it is really more human than human, and it is infuriating!" ”
After that, he took out the silver ticket from his arms and put it on the desk quite arrogantly: "Cousin-in-law, the silver I have invested in, 10,000 taels, you keep it!" ”
Jiang Xinyao said thoughtfully: "Don't take advantage of your aunt's absence, where did you pull it from?" I don't dare ask for unclean silver. Besides, I haven't agreed to your business yet! ”
Just kidding, opening a brothel, her dignified grandmother in charge of Xiao Mansion was known to earn this kind of silver, not to mention that the guy would not agree, even if her mother knew, she was afraid that she would be scolded.
Du Tianxiang crossed his legs and said, "If you respond, I will tell you where this money comes from, I can do a great thing for my cousin-in-law today." ”
A great thing?
Jiang Xinyao sneered and said, "Weiyun, send off!" ”
When Du Tianxiang heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "Count you ruthless!" ”
Then he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Don't, cousin-in-law, I have to tell you if I should do this." Weiyun, also help the master peel two citrus, by the way, make a pot of tea, and by the way, go to the kitchen to see what to eat for supper today! ”
Wei Yun saw that the eldest grandmother nodded, so she smiled at Du Tianxiang and said, "Yes, Young Master Cousin, you wait!" ”
Du Tianxiang then told Jiang Xinyao about Zheng Heng's visit.
Xin Yao played with the Tianhuang seal given by Jiang Quan in her hand, and the moist and delicate feeling of the tentacles made her love it.
She said after a while: "In your opinion, what will Elder Zheng do with her?" ”
Du Tianxiang threw a petal of citrus into his mouth, so sweet that he squinted his eyes, and said lightly: "It's also an old fox, with his personality, ten chances will wait and see!" ”
Xin Yao looked at Du Tianxiang with a bit of teasing, and said with a smile: "Wait, wait for the uncle to solve the case, wait for the second brother to be able to suppress King Han, alas, after all, people have a piece of meat in their stomachs!" ”
Du Tianxiang smiled evilly: "The second brother said that if Elder Zheng can make a move immediately, the Zheng family can still use it in the future, and the knowledge of several children and grandchildren is not bad; Otherwise, it's hard to say! ”
Xin Yao resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him, and said with a smile: "Cousin, this matter is still related to the second brother?" ”
Du Tianxiang said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, if there is no second brother's approval, how dare I reveal a word of your things to the Du family?" My cousin didn't eat me when he came back. The second brother said that the Zheng family was born in a scholarly family, and he did not form a party for personal gain in the court, and he was an official, and he was also upright, so he could just use it to give it a try. Sometimes being an official and being in charge of a family have the same thing! What's more, my cousin was born and died outside, and this beating can be regarded as giving my cousin-in-law a vent! ”
Jiang Xinyao secretly scolded angrily as a "thief fox".
While sending all the important affairs of the court to her day long, and at the same time showing it with grace and wisdom, what is the difference between this behavior and that Zhou Bapi?
Jiang Xinyao dragged her sick body these days and took over Xiao Han's affairs, and after a long time, she felt a headache. The hair that falls off the pillow is also like a day by day, and there is a tendency to age before aging. Therefore, Xin Yao has no good feelings for the culprit who exploited her labor.
Thinking like this in his heart, he smiled more and more gently and amiably: "I'm afraid that Zheng Lao will be frightened by his cousin's beating, and he will vote over there inside and out!" That's more than worth the cost! ”
Du Tianxiang was a little lazy and said: "Then it depends on whether Zheng Lao's eyes can see clearly or his old eyes are dizzy!" (To be continued) (..)
