Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ink Pond
Or sneak someone to send it over.
Zheng walked into the room, closed the door, put the envelope on the candle flame, and opened the letter.
There was no seal of the Duke of Wu on the letter, and the content was very simple, saying that the Sun family was going to ask the Sun Mansion to provoke money to assist Zhou Bin in his promotion, and that was it.
Zheng hurriedly burned the letter and sent his henchmen to the big house to inquire, and sure enough, the Sun family had already lived in Sun's mansion.
It's hard to tell if this letter is true or not, but I'm afraid it's true. Because the Sun Mansion has not yet been separated, if you want to assist Zhou Bin in being promoted, the big house will inevitably transfer silver from the Gongzhong, this is not a small amount of silver, with the current ability of the Sun Mansion, if you want to do such a thing, you will have to spend a lot of blood. The big house itself must not have so much silver.
The public middle school has a lot of money, and the second room has also suffered a loss, this Zhou Bin's promotion is not related to the interests of the second room, that is, for the entire Sun Mansion, Zhou Bin's son-in-law can't help Sun Mansion.
Zheng was extremely angry and slapped the table hard, "Come on, I'm going to meet the old lady." "She can't afford to suffer this dumb loss!
Because of the big trouble in the second room, Sun's return to his parents' house this time was a disappointment.
Zhou Zhengzheng heard that Sun was slapped hard by Zhou Bin, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy. The husband and wife in the second room are not in harmony, which is what Zhou Zheng is happy to see. If their second room is harmonious, it is like a pile of chopsticks that are constantly twisted, then it will be difficult.
It's really a happy event every day, here the Sun family went home to move the rescue soldiers unsuccessfully, over there, Narcissus brought good news, saying that Mo Xiang accepted the silver, bought medicine for his father, and promised to come to the Wu Guogong Mansion to meet Zhou Zhengzheng.
"Narcissus, do you see Moxiang's father's illness, can it be cured?" Zhou Zhengzheng said, "If it can be cured, I am not afraid to spend more money to find a famous doctor for her." ”
Narcissus shook her head, "Back to the girl, Moxiang's father is terminally ill, I'm afraid it won't be better." But her mother, I think she is just too bad for qi and blood, and she has been poisoned by plants and trees, if she can never go to the dye room, do not contact with the dye, and then recuperate, she will slowly become healthy. ”
Most of the dyes in the dye room are made of plants, which are not poisonous, so why are the dyes in Lantingfang poisonous?
Zhou Zheng is very strange, however, it is not easy to enter Lantingfang to find out the truth, and the most important thing at the moment is to let Mo Xiang not lose her mother's love.
"Narcissus, can you tell Mo Xiang about the poisonous dye in Lantingfang?"
Narcissus said, "Having said that, Mo Xiang is very worried about her mother, but her mother is reluctant to leave Lantingfang, and now their family relies on Lantingfang's income." ”
"The spices of the ink fragrance are well done, if her mother also concentrates on making spices, the income must be far greater than the income in Lantingfang. It's just a pity that they didn't find a way out on their own. Zhou Zhengzheng said, "When I see Moxiang, I am their way." ”
Narcissus was very strange, "The girl is really good to Moxiang." ”
Zhou Zhengzheng said: "In the future, I will be the same good to the three of you." ”
Narcissus hurriedly bowed her head, "The slave doesn't dare." ”
"I'm serious." Zhou Zhengzheng said and took out a few pieces of good Shu brocade from the box, "This will be a reward for you first, you have worked hard for the past few days." It's just that I've been squandering a lot lately, and I haven't made any money yet, and I can't find my mother to get the money, so ...... When I have a fixed income, I will not treat you badly. ”
Narcissus naturally refused to accept it, but Zhou Zheng was serious, and Narcissus only had gratitude.
However, Zhou Zhengzheng gave people gifts that were really sent to the hearts of the people, Narcissus is indeed the most favorite Shu brocade, Shu brocade is precious, Narcissus's current identity is naturally not able to wear, but he got married at sunrise...... Ten-year-old narcissus also has to think about her own future.
The ink pond in the west of the city is a slum in the capital, although it is a slum, but after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so it will not be too shabby in appearance.
The houses in Mochifang are made of bluestone, neat and elegant, with black tiles and blue bricks, and each house has a well.
Under the locust tree, there is a courtyard with two bowl-sized stone wells, which is the home where Moxiang temporarily lives.
The house in the capital is expensive, just a little place, Moxiang has to give the landlord three taels of silver every month.
"Ahem, ahem." On the dilapidated wooden bed, a sick, yellow-faced man tilted his head and coughed vigorously, and Mo Xiang hurriedly went up and took a clay pot to catch the yellow-green phlegm.
"Dad, drink the medicine." Mo Xiang slapped the man's back, and his black eyes, as big as grapes, glistened with tears.
"Mo Xiang, I'm dying. If I stay, it will be a drag on you mother and daughter, so it's better to ...... Save money on this medicine! The man reached out to take his daughter's hand, but it hung limply.
"Dad, it won't. You're going to get better. Mo Xiang said, "Dad doesn't need to worry about the money for this medicine, it was given to us by a kind person." ”
"But we can't always take other people's, daughter, you have to remember at all times, if you don't get merit, since you take someone else's, you must repay her." After the man finished speaking, he coughed again.
That's when Narcissus walked in.
"Benefactor." The man struggled to get up to meet him, and Narcissus said, "Uncle, don't get up." Moreover, the benefactor you are talking about is not me, but our girl. ”
"You and your girl are really kind-hearted, but we don't know how to reciprocate." The man said and began to spit again.
Narcissus knew he was dying by looking at the color of his face and phlegm.
"The girl asked me to send these herbs, this is for Mo Xiangniang's body." Narcissus took a packet of herbs and placed it on the table.
The herb exudes a unique fragrance, and even those who don't know about medicine know that it is a precious medicinal herb.
Mo Xiang wanted to kneel down in front of Narcissus, but Narcissus hurriedly stopped, "Mo Xiang, you don't need to thank me, I'm just doing something for our girl." When you see my girl tomorrow, you can say a few more thanks. We girls just want you to be well. ”
"Why is the girl so good to us?" Mo Xiang still couldn't help but ask this question, she was only nine years old, her clothes were ragged, but she looked beautiful, although she was a poor girl, but she was an only daughter, she had always loved her parents like eyeballs, so she didn't have any scheming, so she asked if she wanted to.
Narcissus smiled: "Perhaps, you have a fate with the girl." Anyway, when you see our girl tomorrow, you'll like her. ”
Mo Xiang's father and daughter thanked him again, and Narcissus left.
When Narcissus left the ink pond workshop, he suddenly saw Zhou Bin's personal servant in the second room coming out of a room, and a well-dressed girl was talking to him.
The girl's face was really bright-looking, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
