Chapter Seventy-One
"Yesterday at noon, I bought them all, ma'am. ”
Listening to Liu Qingxin ask herself about the New Year's goods and red paper, Sister-in-law Jiang hurriedly reported to her, "Five bags of rice and noodles have been prepared, all of which are this year's new wheat and new grains, the slave and maid are afraid of the adulteration of the mill, so they specially let the sister-in-law Wang watch them grind there, and after grinding, they were loaded and pulled back, and the meat was prepared for fifty catties, and the slave saw the butcher's newly slaughtered pig, according to the instructions of the lady, asked for the loin and the back elbow, and the eggs were not bought. Send us a dozen new students every day......"
"After lunch, bring me the red paper on which you wrote the pair, this year's New Year, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to spend it with us."
Liu Qingxin was not interested in listening to Sister-in-law Jiang tell her about these miscellaneous trivial matters, so she yawned and interrupted her...... By the way, Brother Wang went out to pick up the two old men, how many days have you been gone? ”
"Today, it's six days, ma'am."
The identity of the old general and his wife is sensitive, in order to avoid trouble, Liu Qingxin told the people in the courtyard that they are Lingjun's master and wife, in this era of "teacher is like father", Jiang sister-in-law and their subordinates, to Lingjun's master and mother, naturally, instinctively treated Lingjun's family as respectful as the elders of Lingjun's family, "I heard the daughter-in-law of the old Wang family say that there, his family used to go often, back and forth, that is, four or five days, I thought, eighty percent of the old Wang carried the old man and the old lady, afraid of the bumps, Make them uncomfortable. Only deliberately slowed down the trip, however, until this evening. It's been six and a half days, no matter how slow. It's almost time to arrive. ”
"It's almost time to come back, after a while, you go to the East Chamber again, check it, there is anything missing, if there is, quickly make someone make up for it."
For this era, the speed at which the carriage traveled. Liu Qingxin has no concept and is true, but Sister-in-law Jiang, a native, should be familiar with it very well, and even she said that it should be almost there, so it should be very different.
Liu Qingxin thought so, so he instructed Sister-in-law Jiang again, "Also, touch the futon to see if it is wet." I asked Sister-in-law Wang to dry it the day before yesterday, and after that, I patronized the medicinal materials in the shop. I forgot to ask, the second elder is old, not as cold tolerant as the young man, the brazier in the house, remember to put two more to take care of their second elder...... Just let Brother Wang's daughter-in-law go! ”
"Still Madame attentive! The slave and maid will take a look again, and explain it again to the mother-in-law and the people in the yard! ”
From Liu's light-hearted words, the mother-in-law Jiang once again confirmed the status of the second elder in this family in the future. hurriedly agreed to her, and conveniently cleaned up the four treasures of the study that needed to be washed and discarded in the house. Cautiously retreated.
After lunch, Liu took a nap. When he was in a daze, he heard a commotion in the courtyard outside.
The mother-in-law in the yard is not an ignorant person, and she knows that she has the habit of taking a nap these days...... Could it be that it was the coachman Lao Wang who brought back the old general and his wife?
Thinking of this, Liu Qingxin, who was still a little dazed, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted at the door while getting up, "Sister-in-law Jiang? What's going on out there? Why is it so noisy?! ”
Hearing Liu's call, after a while, Sister-in-law Jiang trotted into the house, respectfully saluted her, and reported to her about the outside matter, "Back to Mrs., it is the old man and the old lady who are here, listen to the meaning of the old Wang, the old man is freezing at home over there, and he can't move below the waist. ”
"Below the waist, you can't move?! You guys are fooling around! It's all like this, don't call me up, if you let the master know, blame it, I'll see how you explain! ”
Sister-in-law Jiang's words made Liu Qingxin stunned for a moment, and then, she hurriedly jumped off the soft couch, grabbed her cloak and put it on, and walked quickly to the door, "Sister-in-law Wang!" Sister-in-law! Go to the front shop and get the mat I used to diagnose my pulse, and bring a few more sandbags I asked you to sew a few days ago! ”
"It was the old lady who heard Lao Wang say that the lady has a habit of taking a lunch break, so she ordered us not to make the lady get up."
Listening to Liu lightly reprimanding himself, he was nervous, and instinctively confessed to the general's wife who gave him orders...... Since she came to work in this house, she has never seen the good-natured lady Huo'er of Liu Qingxin, this ...... suddenly became popular, and even moved out of her own master, how could she not be afraid?
"The old lady is old and confused, are you confused too! I can't sleep that day, and I can be cured of my illness any day! ”
From Sister-in-law Jiang's words, Liu Qingxin roughly explored the temper of this old lady who she had never met, this is a person who does not want to cause trouble for others, this kind of temperament is considered excellent in terms of dealing with people, but in the premise that there are patients who need to be treated, it is completely different.
The old general is Ling Jun's mentor, the teacher is like a father, to put it bluntly, her attitude towards the old general and the old lady should be like serving her father-in-law and mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law, if this spreads, she delayed the old general's medical treatment because of her greed, and others will not care, is it because the old lady is sympathetic to her, which has caused bad results......
With the reputation of the old general from Rong for so many years, when the time comes, even if Ling Jun can understand her and understand her, the spittle stars of others will be enough to drown her!
In the morning, the burly man hit a big hole in the courtyard wall, before it could be repaired completely, Liu Qingxin out of the house, through this big hole, saw two almost ragged old men, gray head, wearing patches of green clothes An old man, is being carried by the coachman Wang to the east chamber, Zhang Carpenter followed with a nervous face, his mouth kept reminding the coachman Wang, pay attention to the feet, walk slowly, followed by an old lady behind Zhang Carpenter, wearing a gray cloth jacket, As if his body was very weak, he coughed violently while leaning forward and following forward.
"Sister-in-law Jiang, you go to the silk village next door, and ask his sister-in-law Zhang to quickly pull a few good fabrics that can suppress the wind! Also, cotton, I don't care where you buy it, before dark, be sure to buy me cotton that can make six cotton jackets and pants! ”
Looking at the clothes of the two old men, Liu Qingxin never scolded, and suddenly couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and gritted his teeth with hatred for the general in the Jiangnan camp now, and the general, even such two old men can't tolerate it, I'm bah, what a bastard!
This old general, old lady, how do you think it, it's also a rare age?
Rong Ma has been working hard for half his life, you said you, how could you be so ruthless, let the two old men, in such a bad age, still suffer such a crime...... Even if it's a political enemy or an opponent, he never killed your whole family, so that you might as well die? If you treat them like this, aren't you afraid of leaving behind a thousand years of infamy and being pointed at by thousands of people!
"Well, yes, ma'am! Slave and maid, go now! ”
Seeing Liu lightly looking at the figure of the second elder, her eyes turned red unconsciously, Sister-in-law Jiang was stunned for a moment, and then, she hurriedly agreed, and ran out of the door quickly.
Liu Qingxin is not like many small families in this era, she doesn't know how to talk when she sees strangers, on the contrary, in the face of the old general and the old lady, who are patients at a glance, her nature as a good doctor is revealed without accident.
Rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward quickly, Liu Qingxin In the eyes of others, how could she be a weak woman who was powerless, at this moment, it was revealed, so that the two big men, the coachman Lao Wang and Carpenter Zhang...... They are all surprised by the "toughness"!
"Waist down! Straighten up! No matter how much effort you exert like this, you can't carry people well! ”
Liu Qingxin said as he walked forward quickly, helped the old lady who was walking behind, and said to Carpenter Zhang, who wanted to help but couldn't do it, "You go to the left to help, Brother Zhang!" I didn't see Brother Wang's old injury on his left leg, and it was extremely difficult to walk! ”
Xu is Liu Qingxin's appearance, a little too sudden, the old general who was carried by the coachman Lao Wang, and the old lady who was walking hard behind were all stunned, and when they came back to their senses, the old lady spoke up, and cautiously asked Liu Qingxin, "Are you ...... Ling Jun's ...... of that kid"
"I'm his wife, old lady, you think I take it lightly."
Before, Ling Jun deliberately explained to Liu Qingxin, no matter who she talked to, even her father and grandfather, she had to say that she was his person and Xiaobao was the child of the two of them.
At this time, facing Ling Jun's teacher and wife, of course, there can be no exception.
Liu Qingxin thought so, so she told them her "identity" without hesitation, "Before, when Ling Jun was about to go back to the imperial capital, he also specially instructed him to take care of him lightly, and he must treat your two elders as if they were his own father and mother, and at noon today, I also said to my mother-in-law at home, why haven't you two elders come yet, I never thought that it was less than an hour later, and you have arrived!" ”
"Are you...... That kid's wife?! ”
Liu's words made the general's wife widen her eyes in surprise, and she looked her up and down three times, and then she was a little incredulous, and asked her, "He...... The family agreed? (To be continued)
