Chapter 215: West Lake
Chapter 215: West Lake
Leaning on the bow of the boat, Xiao Ru squinted her eyes, feeling the breeze blowing on her face, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. The air that has not been polluted in any way, sweet and slightly cold, blowing on the face, like stepping on the falling flowers on a spring day, there is a little itch in the beauty of the heart, and the paper scattered in her hand was packed up by Xiaoyan little by little, and placed in a purple bamboo box, and the huge poplar gold-clad medicine box was stacked on the stern of the ship......
From time to time, there are waterfowl brushing over Xiao Ru's cheek, the carp flies out of the water, the water splashes, Xiao Ru takes a deep breath, sure enough, the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou West Lake is never tired of seeing, even if there are more people...... Although Xiaoru is not withdrawn and is still a well-hearted doctor, many times, she is more willing to get along with animals than people, even if it is a poisonous snake and beast that should be avoided in the eyes of others.
In the past, in Wuchang, she could stay in the woods and flowers all day long, pillow the tiger's fur, hold the cubs, listen to all kinds of birds singing, it doesn't matter if she is like this for many years, if it is not for her mother-in-law, maybe, after she leaves the Gao family, she will secretly live alone in the mountains and forests, away from the world......
"Two ladies, in front of me is the famous broken bridge in West Lake." The stern of the boat was rocking loudly, interrupting the cleanliness of a boat.
"Where?" Jiang Yi threw away the book in his hand, jumped up and twisted his head, his veil fluttered, revealing his red lips, and sure enough, the captain was stunned, and the rickety boat was also deviated.
Xiao Ru sighed, grabbed her, pulled her to her side, and said in a low voice, "Left rear, do you see it?" ”
A stone bridge crosses the lake, and the lotus flowers are different red in the sun.
Xiao Ru raised her eyes, maybe she was affected by Jiang Yi's good mood, and the haze brought by A Furong had a tendency to dissipate for a while, this Nizi's temperament is actually good, at least, after people heard such a thing as A Furong, they were not frightened at all, but wanted to study it with great interest, Xiao Ru sighed, is it only her own heart that is uncomfortable? Even Wang Meng's woman laughed at her - "What do you want to do so much? Liu Shi is not an idiot, Gongsun Zhi's fox is obviously preparing to intervene, people have a way to make people in the world tremble when they hear the word 'A Furong', you just wait and watch the excitement in peace. ”
Yes, the old man Gongsun and the current saint, which is a fuel-efficient lamp, how can that kind of thing be allowed to wreak havoc in Daxia, Xiaoru smiled, he has already communicated with the old man Tang, this general consultation of the Compassion Medical Association is mainly used to discuss the methods of drug rehabilitation, and there is only so much that they can do.
"Sister, didn't you say that the bridge was a broken bridge? Where is it broken? ”
Xiao Ru touched Jiang Yi's head funny, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Our Great Xia Dynasty is not short of money, even if the bridge is broken, there is a time when it is repaired, such a good water feature of West Lake, how ugly it is to put a broken bridge!" ”
"Oh, too, it's not convenient to break the bridge...... It turns out that it has been repaired, so shouldn't it be called a broken bridge anymore? ”
Seeing that Jiang Yi really believed his words, and seriously pondered the name of the broken bridge, Xiaoru smiled. shook his head, slapped this Nizi, and said with a smile: "Silly Nizi, then you say, what should it be called?" ”
"What's it called?" Jiang Yi folded her fingers, lowered her head, and pondered.
Xiao Ru sighed, this woman is sometimes shrewd and powerful, and sometimes she is also coquettish and looks a little silly, she didn't do this before, it seems that she was spoiled by her father-in-law, so a woman can't be spoiled too much-"Don't think about it, I just teased you, the reason why this broken bridge got its name is not because it is broken - the broken bridge faces the mountain on the back of the city, one side faces the yin and the other side is the sun, whenever the snow is sunny, if you stand on the mountain and look out, the sunny side of the bridge has melted away from the ice, so look at the sunny side,' The snow remnants of the bridge are broken', but the shady side of the bridge is still covered with snow, so from the shady side, 'the bridge is broken'. That's why it got the name Broken Bridge. ”
"Madame is really well-informed." The captain laughed loudly, "Old man, I have been holding boats in West Lake every year, but this is the first time I have heard of these. Hehe, in the future, if someone asks again, the old man can answer. ”
Xiao Ru and Jiang Yi looked at each other and smiled, both thinking that this old man was very cute.
After taking a small boat and seeing the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, Xiaoru and Jiang Yi prepared to go back to Hu's house, but the weather was good today, and neither of them wanted to take the car.
The two came on horseback, Xiaoru was a yellow-haired thousand-mile horse, Jiang Yi's was obviously worse, he didn't dare to get to Rhubarb's side at all, and avoided the back far away, so he had to let Xiaoyan help lead him, Jiang Yi didn't care, and he was happy to be leisurely, and looked around with great interest.
Xiaoru walked on the street, feeling that Hangzhou City was more lively than the last time, and I don't know if it was the reason for the upcoming conference consultation. However, there are indeed more patients in front of the pharmacy than in the past, and even the inn liquor store is filled with the smell of medicine.
It's not the first time for Xiaoru in Hangzhou City, she has seen a lot of all kinds of juggling on this street, but this time, she actually saw an even more strange one, uh, maybe, not unusual......
A woman about the same age as Xiaoyan was kneeling on the ground in sackcloth, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and there was a middle-aged man lying beside her, with no blood on her face, no sound at all, her clothes were dusty, a little shabby, and she looked like she had passed away, no, she didn't even need to look at it, because there were four big characters written on a piece of linen in front of this woman - selling herself to bury her father.
There are men of all ages coming forward, getting together and muttering, judging the taste, this woman's appearance is quite good, although it is not a flower and moon appearance, but it can be regarded as a middle-class posture, especially a pair of pitiful beautiful eyes, it turned out to be Danfeng eyes, very charming, so there are many people who are excited, the current price has shouted to ten taels of silver, and she has been straightening her waist, raising her head, her face is very pale, and a little stubborn, and from time to time there are a few huge tears rolling down.
Xiaoru raised her eyebrows, before she had time to say anything, Jiang Yi had already pulled her sleeve and leaned over, muttering as she walked: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in Hangzhou City?" The Gao family is too disagreeable, doesn't they all say that the people under his rule have enough food and clothing, and they don't close their doors at night? So, I can't believe this kind of thing ......."
Xiao Ru's lips twitched, her eyebrows jumped twice, but she still didn't speak, but Jiang Yi was obviously soft-hearted, she walked over, squatted down in front of the woman, reached out and grabbed a handful of silver bills with delicate patterns from her purse, and then stuffed it into her purse, checked it, and nodded, these seem to be at least forty or fifty taels, not to mention burying a father, it is no problem to bury ten or eight.
She glanced at the woman, frowned, and said, "That's all for you...... Really, don't sell yourself to bury your father at every turn, thinking that it is very comfortable to be someone else's slave? ”
An exclamation sounded, and many people muttered that this woman was really good, and some people shouted: "Madam, do you want a maid, I also have a girl at home!" ”
Of course, this woman is a good fate, and when she meets such a generous lady, even if she is a girl from a rich family, she will have a much better life than now.
The woman was also stunned, and only after a while did she hesitate to sobb a few times, and began to kowtow: "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam, when the slave and maid bury their father, they will go with ...... madam."
Jiang Yi waved his hand arrogantly and said with a smile: "Forget it, I don't lack manpower, besides, my family's slaves and maids are not something that everyone can do, you can just take it and bury your father, and you can keep the rest for yourself." ”
Jiang Yi is right, the girls of the Li family are all born in the family, and they have served the Li family for generations, and occasionally some are bought outside, and the training alone takes two years, especially the current head of the Li family regards his daughter-in-law as more precious than a baby's eyeballs, and the people who serve around him are even more carefully selected, of course, it is not just a random maid who can go to Jiang Yi's side.
The woman obviously didn't expect Jiang Yi to be so easy to speak, and cried again, so she reached out to pick up the purse in Jiang Yi's hand, but before she could get the purse in her hand, she was snatched by a snow-white soft wattle first.
"Sister?"
The woman was stunned, Jiang Yi was also stunned, and said in a lost voice: "Sister, do you think this silver coin pattern is good-looking?" Why don't I go back and give you a box to play with? Otherwise, I'll give you the mold...... Can you go and fight on your own? ”
Xiao Ru rolled her eyes, and glared at the purse in her hand with disgust, she hadn't seen this silver bill, either a peony or a chrysanthemum, what was there to see, this Nizi was stupid, she really thought she had never seen the world-" ...... When you're out of the house, don't do so much, let's go, and don't look at what time it is, Brother Hu is still waiting. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the woman's eyebrows raised, but it was only for a moment, and she immediately pounced in front of Xiao Ru with pear blossoms and rain, and said loudly: "Madam, please have mercy on me, my father's bones are not cold, and the little woman really has no choice......
At this time, some men who wanted to buy her next to her also coaxed: "Yo, little lady, people don't want you, why don't you sell it to me......"
"Yes, when you enter the door of your grandfather's house, it's better to go to the kiln and sell it."
These voices, which should be regarded as foul language in the ears of girls, made Jiang Yi frown and glanced at her sister in embarrassment, although she has always listened to Xiaoru's words, but in the end she is still a little soft-hearted: "...... Sister, anyway, it's only a few dozen taels of silver, I ......"
Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows, the corners of her mouth twitched helplessly, her chin moved forward a little, Jiang Yi was stunned, and saw a row of crows flying from somewhere, hula and rushed towards the straw mat on the ground, the crow had just rushed over, and the middle-aged man actually screamed, jumped up from the ground, covered a bloody face and wailed......
The woman's eyes were cold, and she rushed over with an anxious face, tore off her sackcloth clothes, and began to pounce on the crows.
For a while, the onlookers were dumbfounded, and Jiang Yi was even more frightened and hid behind Xiaoru, exclaiming: "Dead people, dead people are alive, stiff, zombie ......"
Zombies, you ghost! Xiao Ru slapped her head, and took advantage of the woman to rush over to help the middle-aged man chase away the crows who were still circling around him, and neither of them had time to pay attention to their stupid sister, Xiao Ru took Jiang Yi's hand, easily avoided the crowd, and slipped away.
“…… I wonder if your so-called famous doctor got it from your face......"
Sitting in the living room of the Hu family, drinking tea and eating delicious pastries. Xiao Ru looked at Jiang Yi with a blushing face, shook her head and said, "See, even my family Xiaoyan can see it, that middle-aged man is not dead at all, do you think that if you put a little blue ash on your face, he is a dead man?" We are doctors, how can we let a fake death fool us? ”
Jiang Yi shrank her head sneeringly, and muttered in her heart, she can't blame her, she is a girl, even if she is a doctor, how can she deliberately look at a dead person? There are so many people present, and it's not that they are fooled, but that their sister can show up to show it......
