Chapter 7 There is no cause and no reason to gather together
As soon as she opened her mouth, the eyes of everyone in the room gathered, Qiu Yehong took a cursory look, and recognized the eldest girl who was biting her lip slightly, the second girl eating tea, the third girl yawning with her hand, and the man sitting next to the eldest girl, and a young woman standing behind the two of them, with gold and silver.
One of the most scorching is naturally the eyes of the eldest lady, Qiu Yehong did not dare to slack off and hurriedly talked about the matter briefly, and did not say it in detail, I think someone has already talked about it in detail, after saying this, I was busy saying the rules of the small kitchen, this is only afraid that no one will say it, while saying it carefully, I saw that the eldest lady's face was unmoved, but the eldest girl had raised her eyebrows, waiting to hear Qiu Yehong's sentence "... I didn't know that the girl who asked for porridge was the ...... from the big girl's house," so he snorted and interrupted her: "That's right, the silver girl is not from my house." After that, he glanced at the man on the side, "Now except for me, even Qingmei and Ziyu who followed me over haven't eaten in the small kitchen." ”
"It was the maid's negligence that she forgot to tell the silver red girl, which caused this misunderstanding." The eldest girl Huan Qingmei, who was standing behind the eldest girl, immediately stood up and said, while making amends to his wife.
"That's it, they say I hate dogs......" The young woman who had been rubbing her eyes with a handkerchief suddenly said, her hand touched the man's shoulder, and she burst into tears, "Second master......."
The eldest girl stared at the two of them with hatred.
Qiu Yehong hurriedly smiled: "This is nothing, we don't dare to say this, even if we heard from people, we are all busy saying that this is not right, and I am about to tell the sisters-in-law in charge to go, but I just came, and I don't know who is who, I just remember that it is a little girl, twelve or thirteen years old, with a goose egg face, a mole on the side of her mouth, dressed differently from our family, and I haven't had time to go." ”
As soon as her words fell, the three girls over there clapped their hands and laughed, and said, "Don't look for it, don't you just stand behind this new aunt, let's get out!" ”
The room suddenly became chaotic, the scolding of the silver red girl, the cry of the little girl, mixed with the giggles of the third girl.
"That's it! What a big deal! What's the fuss! The man said suddenly, and the man stood up, Junxiu's face was full of anger, and he didn't look at the crying girl on the ground, "I said that the one I bought halfway was not clean, and I chose to pick the west, and I was embarrassed and thrown to my relatives' house!" Get out of here! ”
At that moment, three mothers-in-law came out and pulled the girl out, and the silver red girl cried and changed color, but she was afraid of the eldest aunt, and she bit the veil and didn't dare to make a sound.
"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law has made amends to you, I've been tired for a day, and I can't be quiet." When the eldest aunt said this, her originally slightly dull face instantly smiled again and walked over to make a move.
The eldest lady smiled slightly at this time and said: "Brother Guang'er, you have also been making trouble for a day, go back and rest quickly, according to my explanation, don't rush to leave tomorrow, it will be your daughter-in-law's birthday in a few days, just in time, let her spend it at home once." ”
The eldest aunt smiled and gave the eldest girl a smile, and the eldest girl didn't look at him, but the silver-red girl looked at him pitifully.
Seeing them talking about family affairs, Qiu Yehong hurriedly flashed to the side, and said a few words, the girls retired one after another, the eldest aunt followed and walked out, passing by Qiu Yehong suddenly stopped again, looked up and down twice, seemed to want to speak, but saw that the big girl next to her face collapsed again, her interest suddenly disappeared, and she shook her hand and walked quickly.
When the person left, the eldest lady seemed to be tired, so the person leaned on the couch and slowly ate the tea one bite at a time, as if he forgot that there were still a few people standing in front of him.
"Madam, let them all go down like this, and it will be a punishment if they are frightened." Qingluan, who had been standing behind him without speaking, suddenly said, and glanced at Qiu Yehong with a smile.
The eldest lady really just remembered it, glanced at everyone, and said, "These things have also caused trouble to me," with a little dissatisfaction in her words.
As soon as the eldest lady said this, those mothers-in-law were busy thanking her and leaving.
Qingluan sighed, took the eldest lady's tea bowl, and said: "Mother Wang, who followed the eldest girl, is sick, and now the little old and old who follow the girl are more and more out of order, so it is better to pick a good mother for the eldest girl." ”
Autumn Yehong had already raised her feet and walked towards the threshold, but at this moment she heard the eldest lady shouting from behind, "You stand for a while." He hurriedly gathered his feet and turned around.
"I see where you've seen the general, you're from the kitchen?" The eldest lady looked at her carefully and said slowly.
Qiu Yehong smiled hurriedly, and before she could speak, the maid standing aside immediately said: "Hey, I remember, the second master's family, you are the wise girl!" ”
"My niece Fu Huiniang has seen my aunt." Autumn leaves are red and salute.
The eldest lady was a little surprised, sat up straight, looked at her carefully, and said, "It turned out to be you, I saw it when I came that day, I said why do you look so familiar?" How is your dad? I don't see you coming over for the New Year's holiday, but we are serious relatives, so it's rusty. ”
Qiu Yehong hurriedly said: "I come to eat during the New Year's Festival, my aunt is busy, my father and I don't dare to disturb, and I am not in good health, I am raised at home, and it is not easy to go out." ”
"Good boy, you're an understanding person." The eldest lady showed a smile and turned to the maid and said, "I have been old in the past few years, and I have a lot of things, so I am lazy, I see fewer customers, and there are many words that say that I am not high-minded." ”
Qiu Yehong smiled, didn't speak, and said a few polite words, but she often came to sit, but she didn't ask why she appeared in the small kitchen, and Qiu Yehong took her leave.
"Send the big girl out." The eldest lady said, looking at Autumn Leaf Red and thanking her repeatedly.
"Madam, thanks to Miss Hui recently, otherwise I would have been slapped in the face by that little hoof! Our big girl has to cry again. Qingluan sighed, slapped his wife's shoulders and said.
The eldest lady nodded, sighed, and said: "That day, I only indulged in your eldest girl's temperament, and picked a few people who were not on the stage to follow me, what was the result, there was no room in our house, and there was no room in the other people's houses. ”
Qingluan said with a smile: "Mrs. is also too worried, the eldest aunt is young and inevitably loves freshness, I look at it like that, I still protect the eldest girl, and I don't save face for that aunt at all." ”
The eldest lady was silent, and the room was silent again, Qingluan gently beat her shoulders, and carefully turned to the front to help her knead her legs and feet.
"When I went out just now, I saw that Brother Guang seemed to be talking to that Hui Niang?" The eldest lady sat up suddenly, startling Qingluan.
"The servant didn't pay attention." Qingluan told the truth, looked at his wife's expression, and said carefully, "Miss Hui just spoke and behaved in a measured manner, not like no one was tuned, the last time I sent lotus flowers to the second girl, I didn't recognize it, it looked very good, and I found out that it was her when I asked, and the family was not doing well, so I was looking for some odd jobs on Sister-in-law Song's side, and I didn't see it these days." ”
The eldest lady turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, listened carefully, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "After all, it is a serious girl in our family, on your eldest girl's birthday, you remember to invite her to come and sit, I heard that there is no mother early?" Blame the pitiful. ”
Qingluan was busy, and his wife thought about it and said: "Let the tailor make a few new clothes for her, she is not as good as a slave, and those who know say that I am busy and negligent, and I don't know that I should be mean." ”
"Serious relatives, which one of them is not a serious relative, and my wife can't care if she breaks her heart." Qingluan said with a smile, placed the eldest lady to rest, and went to arrange it without mentioning it.
After two days, Fu Wencheng has moved freely, and the situation at home is now more difficult, and neither father nor daughter wants to be idle, so they are busy working to earn money.
The business in the pharmacy is still deserted, even the concoction of medicinal materials has stopped, Qiu Yehong has nothing to do, so he helps in front of the hall, saying that there is nothing to help with, just serving tea and pouring water and running errands.
On this day, I was listening to Dr. Li give Bao Liang a lecture on medical science, and saw three people walking in outside, one of them walked in with a painful face covering his waist, and the other two people followed behind, all pulling their faces, and one of them was still carrying a dead pig that was only two months old, and Bao Liang hurriedly took it.
"Doctor, if you fall, see if your waist is broken?" The man, about thirty-seven or eighteen in size, dressed in coarse cloth and covered with mud on his feet, looked like a workman, and sat down when he said this.
Autumn Yehong couldn't help but smile, her waist was bent, can you still sit down? Sure enough, the middle-aged fat man wearing this round-necked silk robe who followed him looked disdainful and said, "Hu San, what nonsense are you talking about!" According to me, don't waste the money for this consultation, you won't have any money to pay me. ”
Doctor Li checked the man's pulse, got up and opened his clothes again, looked at it, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just wipe some bone-setting wine, I'll prescribe you another prescription, just eat two servings." ”
The man who was called Hu San nodded in response, and Bao Liang had already taken the bone-setting wine and smeared it on him, and wrapped another bottle to take away.
"Hmph, I said you were fine, what's the matter, do you want to repay the debt or do you want to blackmail me for money? I've seen it, it's your pig, send me the pig money before dark. The fat man twisted his nose and shook his head, and the man next to him hurriedly threw the dead pig to the previous person.
"Alas," Hu San endured the pain and took the pig, shook it and said, "A pig of less than thirty catties, five hundred yuan, this pig, I'm afraid it's worth more than my body!" When he said this, he couldn't help but shed a few tears.
When the fat man heard it, he immediately snorted and said, "Hu San, I originally saw that you were honest, but I already had a low amount of money with you, I am really a good person!" Although my pig is only thirty catties now, but after half a year, at least two hundred and fifty catties, my Zheng Dashi's pigs, transported to the capital, how can I buy a dozen taels of silver, but you are not long-sighted stoned to death, what else do you say? ”
Hearing this, Qiu Yehong was stunned for a moment, and looked at the fat man as if she remembered something, Zheng Dashi?
Fu Wencheng was injured in a work fall at a house named Zheng Dashi, and he also stoned a pig to death, not only did he spend the medicine but also lost a tael of silver.
Is this Zheng Dashi? Why did you kill the pig again today? That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
Thinking of this, Qiu Yehong's eyes were placed on the piglet that was carried by Hu San, and at a cursory glance, he found that the piglet's eyes were swollen and red, and the hair was thick and messy, a typical sick pig.
Good boy, this is clearly a ghost! Qiu Yehong was indignant in her heart, if she put it on someone else, she wouldn't care about this idle matter, she was biased towards Fu Wencheng, how difficult it was for them to save one or two pieces of silver.
"This guest officer, can you let me see your pigs?" Qiu Yehong thought about it and walked over and said to the man who was waiting to grab the medicine.
Hu San saw that it was a little girl in Tsing Yi with a double bun, and he didn't care, and said, "Look, the little girl hasn't seen a piglet, right?" Take a look, and I'll sell it at the market in a moment. ”
Bao Liang thought that Qiu Ye Hong was really curious, and he didn't pay attention to it, stood aside and looked at it with a smile, and saw Qiu Ye Hong squatting down, flattening the piglet, breaking his mouth, and turning his ears open, looking quite serious.
"Uncle, this pig is a sick pig, and it can't be sold." After reading it, Autumn Leaf Red stood up and said.
Hu San was stunned for a moment, and some didn't understand what this meant, but someone understood that the fat man who had already scolded and walked to the door heard it, turned around suddenly, and said angrily: "What? Sick pigs? ”
