Chapter 15 Surgical Tools
Immediately, Mingyue followed Uncle Zhang to discuss the steps of treatment and what medicines to use, but it was only when the sky was getting darker that Aunt Zhang came to call the two to eat, and the two came out of the pharmacy.
Before going out, Mingyue stopped Uncle Zhang, "Regarding my master's affairs, I also ask Uncle Zhang to keep it secret for me, including my mother." ”
Zhang Langzhong nodded in response, thinking that the moon girl was still young, so she really had to keep a low profile, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, so she would block it for her for the time being.
At the dinner table, Zhang Langzhong said to Aunt Zhang, "I plan to accept the moon girl as a righteous daughter, and the moon girl has already agreed, but you still have to go to her mother to talk to see if you agree." ”
After all, it is Xu Jinniang's daughter, although the moon girl has agreed, but it is still necessary to ask for her mother's consent, as for the two old men of the Ming family, Zhang Langzhong did not take it into account at all, if you go to tell them, Zhang Langzhong can guess, I am afraid that I am in a hurry to stuff those precious grandsons to himself.
Mrs. Zhang followed Aunt Zhang to listen to Zhang Langzhong's words, and she was incoherent with excitement, and only asked if it was true?
Seeing Mingyue nodded, Mrs. Zhang only kept giving Mingyue vegetables excitedly, and muttered in her mouth, "It's my granddaughter in the future, look at your thinness, you can eat more." ”
The two of them are so enthusiastic that Mingyue can't digest it a little, it seems that this Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang really like themselves very much, enjoy the rare kind care, and they are very happy.
When Mingyue goes home at night, it has been time, and the house is very quiet.
Mingyue went back to her room, Mingyang was already asleep, and saw that her mother was sewing and mending clothes under the oil lamp, so she stepped forward and sat next to her mother, holding her mother's arm and coquettishly, "Is my mother waiting for me to come back?" ”
Xu Jinniang touched Mingyue's head, got up and said, "Tired, right?" I'm going to fetch you hot water to soak your feet. ”
Mingyue grabbed Xu Jinniang, sat down, got up and took the wooden basin next to the door, and said as she walked, "I'll just go by myself." ”
Xu Jinniang hurriedly got up, followed with an oil lamp, and complained, "Don't take the lamp, slow down, don't bump into it." ”
After Mingyue sat in front of the bed and soaked her feet, she said, "Mother, I plan to recognize Uncle Zhang as my father-in-law." ”
Xu Jinniang accidentally pricked the needle on her finger, stopped her movements, her heart was mixed, her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she said with a choked voice, "It's okay, it's useless to be a mother, I can't let you live a good life, follow you Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, they will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Mingyue turned her head, and saw her mother's tears falling drop by drop, and knew that her mother had misunderstood herself, so she wiped her feet casually, sat down beside her mother, hugged her mother's arm and said, "Mother, what are you thinking?" Recognize Uncle Zhang as a father-in-law, because we owe Uncle Zhang too much, Yue'er doesn't know how to pay it back, it just so happens that Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang have no heirs, Yue'er recognizes Uncle Zhang as a father-in-law, and she can do her filial piety for them in the future. ”
Xu Jinniang listened to Mingyue's words, wiped the tears on her face, and said in a choked voice, "My Yue'er has really grown up, and when your sister-in-law gets married, it is time to say goodbye to you." ”
Mingyue frowned, she had long forgotten about this, now that she is sixteen years old, she has reached the age of putting her mother-in-law's family here.
Immediately Mingyue thought of Li Yun, if she wants to marry someone, she also wants to marry Li Yun, and she doesn't know how it is recently, she sighed lightly, how can she get close to him? But I'm afraid I don't have time to think about it during this time, and there are still a lot of things waiting for me.
Xu Jinniang looked at Mingyue in a daze, sighed, and shook Mingyue, "What are you sighing for?" ”
Mingyue came back to her senses and explained, "Mother, let's put the matter of kissing first, let's live a good life first, and then it's not too late to kiss." ”
Xu Jinniang remembered the situation in this family, and no longer mentioned this matter, and said, "Have you found a way to cure the young master of the Xu family?" ”
Mingyue nodded and responded, "With some eyebrows, tomorrow I will accompany Uncle Zhang to the city to prepare some medicinal herbs." ”
Xu Jinniang said, "I'm afraid this medicinal herb is asking for money, right?" This always makes you Uncle Zhang break the bank, how can it be good? ”
Mingyue said, "I'll pay back Uncle Zhang when I work hard to make money in the future, I have to ask grandma and them to take the money out, I'm afraid there will be no money." ”
Xu Jinniang sighed lightly, thinking about the situation at home, she got up and rummaged in the cabinet on the bedside table for a long time, took out a paper bag, and gently opened it in front of Mingyue.
Inside is an earring, silver earrings, and a pearl pendant below, which looks particularly exquisite, Xu Jinniang handed it to Mingyue with some reluctance, and said, "This is what your grandmother left for your mother, when your father was sick, he only left this one, it should be worth some money, you take it as a solution to the urgent need." ”
Mingyue took the earrings and looked at them carefully, and finally wrapped them and handed them back to her mother, saying, "How much did my mother's other earring cost?" ”
Xu Jinniang said, "I only took five taels of silver." ”
Obviously, these earrings are more than five taels of silver, Mingyue continued, "The Xu family is a thousand taels when they open their mouths, and they can't do anything at all, and this is the only jewelry that grandma left to her mother, so you should keep it!" ”
Listening to Mingyue's words, Xu Jinniang finally put away the earrings and said to Mingyue, "Since you are going to the county seat tomorrow, you go and pour the water and rest early." ”
Mingyue also felt a little sleepy, and she didn't sleep well last night, so she got up and poured water, and looked at Mingyang's wound with the oil lamp, which had begun to scab, so she lay down to sleep, Xu Jinniang saw that the two children were asleep, and she also blew the oil lamp and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Mingyue habitually got up early, punched, washed up, and was about to say hello to her mother who was busy in the backyard and was ready to go out, so Old Man Ming came to the backyard.
Behind is the kitchen chicken yard pigsty, and there are their mother and son, and the old man Ming rarely comes.
Mingyue called Ye, Old Man Ming nodded, and asked, "Are you going to Zhang Langzhong's house?" Is there any way to find it in the book? ”
Mingyue nodded and said, "I'm a little eyebrow-raising, Uncle Zhang said that he was going to the county seat to prepare some medicinal materials, and I was about to go out and follow him." ”
When the old man Ming heard Mingyue's words, he was overjoyed and said, "I'm afraid it will cost some silver to prepare medicinal materials, you can bring these silver, if it's not enough, then come to me and ask me." ”
Mingyue took the silver in the hands of the old man Ming, with Mingyue's experience of touching silver once before, these five small pieces should be five taels of silver.
When I went out, there was no silver, it was really inconvenient, Mingyue was not polite, and took it and said, "Got it, master, then I'll go first." ”
Mingyue had breakfast at Zhang Langzhong's house, and the two went to the county seat together, it was in the morning, and Zhang Langzhong was a well-known doctor in these ten miles and eight townships, and the two just walked to the official road, and they met a man driving an ox cart, saying that they were going to the county seat to help a foreigner pull goods.
So the two hitchhiked and went to the county seat.
Although the ox cart is also slow, it is still much faster than walking, and it only takes more than an hour to reach the county seat.
The two of them asked several gold and silver jewelry stores in the county, and finally found a master who could make these tools, but Mingyue said the size, cost and wages, and actually cost three or four hundred taels of silver.
Although Zhang Langzhong didn't say that he couldn't take it out, Mingyue knew that he was afraid that Zhang Langzhong's savings would be spent almost as much as he could, so Mingyue only let him get five things in the end, and it almost cost more than a hundred taels of silver.
The silversmith saw that there were some strange-shaped knives, pliers, needles, and the like, and asked with some anxiety, "What are you going to do with these things?" ”
Mingyue hurriedly responded, "My husband is Langzhong, of course these devices are used to cure diseases and save people, have you heard of scraping bones to heal injuries, how can you do without these appliances?" ”
Mingyue grabbed a lot of white, and the silversmith who listened to it was a little blind, even if it was Langzhong, he was no longer worried, and planned to take over the business, and said to Zhang Langzhong, "Your devices are very strange, I'm afraid it will take some time to build." ”
Listening to the words of the silversmith, Mingyue said, "It's okay, it's okay, this thing must be polished slowly, and you can't be sloppy in curing diseases and saving people, we have inquired, your craftsmanship in this Linzi County is unmatched, so I can rest assured that I will hand it over to you." ”
The high hat really worked, and the silversmith said proudly, "That is, if you want to talk about my craft, in Linzi City, I say second, but no one dares to say first, you just wait to get the goods, that is, to cure the disease and save people, but you can't delay, pay half of the deposit first, and then you come to pick it up the day after tomorrow." ”
Mingyue secretly winked at Uncle Zhang mischievously, and said with a smile, "Thank you so much, let's come and pick up the goods the day after tomorrow." ”
Zhang Langzhong paid the deposit and thanked him again, and the two of them went out of the jewelry store.
When he went out, Zhang Langzhong teased, "You girl, when did you learn to be so flamboyant?" ”
Mingyue said with a smile, "My master said that you have to learn to see people and talk about people outside, and talk about ghosts when you see ghosts." ”
Zhang Langzhong replied with a smile, "You master, it's really interesting." Hungry, right? Let's go find a place to eat first. ”
Mingyue touched her stomach and nodded hurriedly, Zhang Langzhong looked at Mingyue's cute appearance dotingly, shook his head with a smile, and took Mingyue to a nearby restaurant.
Coming here, Mingyue entered the restaurant for the first time, full of novelty to look east and west, Zhang Langzhong took Mingyue to the second floor and found a window position to sit down.
Mingyue sat at the window, turning her head around and looking around, frowning, as if she was not very satisfied.
Zhang Langzhong was a little curious, this girl shouldn't have been to the restaurant, why did she show such a dissatisfied expression when she came for the first time?
So Zhang Langzhong asked curiously, "Yue Yatou frowned, but what are you not satisfied with?" ”
