064 The reputation of the Xu family
She didn't go directly to the south gate, but came to the shop.
The white steward was directing the men to tidy up the storefront and warehouse, and when he saw Luo Xuyan coming, he said with a smile: "There have been a lot of things recently, and the shop seems to be a little messy, and a lot of dust has accumulated in some places, so Mr. Luo ordered us to clean up." ”
Luo Xuyan asked, "What about my father?" ”
"I'm going to the south of the city with two people." White Butler said.
Luo Xuyan thought that there was nothing to do, so she tidied up the shop with the guys.
After noon, Luo Banghao came back, Luo Xuyan hurriedly poured a cup of tea and sent it over, and asked, "Dad, what's going on at the South City Gate?" ”
Luo Banghao drank tea before saying: "With yesterday's arrangement, nothing went wrong today, the people of the yamen built a porridge shed, distributed food and clothing to the victims, and found out some sick people, all of whom were quickly separated. In addition, I also donated some food and medicinal materials, and received a few words of praise from the history of thorns. ”
"Thorn Shi also went?" Luo Xuyan asked with a little surprise.
Luo Banghao said: "Yes, this is the most important thing he has encountered since he took office, so he naturally has to put more effort into it." In addition, in previous years, there have been cases in other places where the victims were not properly resettled, resulting in the spread of epidemics and the suffering of the people. When the news reached the capital, the emperor dismissed the relevant officials in order to appease the people, so Ruan Tingshi had to pay attention to this matter. ”
Luo Xuyan listened and nodded.
Luo Banghao put down the teacup and said, "Originally, Ruan Tingshi wanted to keep me down to help, but I politely refused. ”
Luo Xuyan understood why her father chose this way, although she regretted that being close to Ruan Tingshi could add some luster to the Xu family's face and reputation, but they were not out of the question.
"Ayan," Luo Banghao stared at his daughter's face, her dark eyes flashed with starry light, and she must be thinking about something again, "You can do the rest of it." ”
Luo Xuyan was taken aback, "Daddy? ”
Luo Banghao said seriously: "This little thing alone is not enough to leave much impression in people's hearts and save the reputation of the Xu family. So, we have to do another plan. ”
"Dad," Luo Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "I understand." ”
Luo Banghao advised again: "If there is a difficulty, you don't have to hold on, and that Zhao Ying should pay attention to him." ”
Luo Xuyan said: "I understand, Dad." ”
After speaking, the two of them went about their own business, and went home together in the evening.
The inside and outside of Xu's house were quiet, as if Xu Dali's incident had never happened at all. Luo Xuyan was cautious, and Luo Banghao sneaked in through the back door and hurriedly returned to Hanhui Courtyard.
Xu Yaoyao was embroidering a handkerchief under the lamp, and when she saw the father and daughter coming back, she put down the things in her hand and said with a smile: "I stole a day's leisure, and I made you two work hard." ”
Luo Banghao asked, "How is my mother-in-law?" ”
Xu Yaoyao nodded to Luo Xuyan, "Fortunately, Ah Yan scared her mother and sister-in-law, and today they all stayed at home in peace, and they didn't make any more noise." ”
Luo Banghao said: "That's good." ”
Luo Xuyan asked, "Auntie's body is okay, right?" ”
Xu Yaoyao said: "I asked the doctor to come and see it, and I prescribed medicine, I told her that if she thinks about it again, she will be angry, and the child in her womb will be hurt, and no one will be able to save it." She understands how important this child is to her, so she doesn't make any more noise. ”
The child is Zhu Ying's death hole, and pinching it is like asking for her life.
Xu Yaoyao asked the father and daughter again, "How is the situation outside?" ”
Luo Banghao said simply, and told her truthfully that he planned to let his daughter continue to do the rest of the work.
"It's an experience." Xu Yaoyao has always trusted Luo Banghao, so she didn't object, "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's wait until dinner." ”
After eating, Luo Xuyan went back to her house, and when she was about to reach the door, she saw Xu Yunzhi walking on the path, kicking a flying pebble and almost hitting her face.
"I didn't mean to." Xu Yunzhi said strongly.
Luo Xuyan said: "I didn't say anything about you. ”
Xu Yunzhi choked, and found that he really seemed weak just now, and snorted coldly, "Isn't there a plague outside, why did you still run out?" Didn't you come back sick, did you? ”
Luo Xuyan smiled and said, "Don't you know that the Xu family has an ancestral recipe to avoid the epidemic?" Moreover, when the plague spread, it was also the best time for our shop's business, so how could we miss a good time to make a lot of money. ”
"Luo Xuyan!" Xu Yunzhi pointed at her face and scolded: "You are so bad, the plague has been spread, don't you have any compassion at all?" ”
"Can mercy be exchanged for gold and silver for you to eat and drink?" Luo Xuyan yawned, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and said, "It's not early, I have to sleep." Aren't you afraid that I'm sick, so for peace of mind, it's better to go back early. ”
Xu Yunzhi pursed her lips, seeing that Luo Xuyan was about to enter the courtyard gate, she subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but thinking that she came back from outside, she was afraid in her heart, so she could only watch her enter the door and wait for the moon to close the courtyard door expressionlessly.
"Phew." She spat at the door of the courtyard, and then ran back as fast as she could.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Zhu Ying, who was half-lying on the bed, heard her daughter's voice, hurriedly sat up and asked, "Did Luo Xuyan really go out?" How did she react? ”
"Mother, ......" Xu Yunzhi was afraid of being scolded by her mother, thought for a while, and said: "Luo Xuyan has gone out, but she said that there is an ancestral epidemic avoidance recipe at home, so she is not afraid of the plague, and she just cares about making money from the dead quickly!" She is really cold-blooded and shameless, and her heart is so bad at such a young age! ”
"Is there someone out there who really has a plague?" Zhu Ying asked again uneasily.
After calming down, she felt more and more that something was wrong after thinking about it, why did it happen that there was an epidemic when they were clamoring to go to prison?
She had a hunch that this eighty percent was a lie made up by Xu Yaoyao's slut!
