Chapter 37: Pouring the Medicine
In Bitao Courtyard, He Fang was guarding Old Lady He's room.
Footsteps outside the house sounded, and someone knocked on the door outside, "What's the matter, the medicine is here." ”
"Come in." Who answered.
The door was opened, and the servant came in with a bowl of medicine.
He Fang took it, he waved his hand at the person who came, "Okay, you go down first." ”
"Yes." The servant bowed down and withdrew, and closed the door.
He Fang came to the bed with the medicine bowl, stood in front of the bed and whispered, "Old lady, it's okay." ”
Hearing this, Old Lady He, who was lying motionless on the bed, opened her eyes and sat up from the bed.
After pouring the medicine into a stone jar with a lid in the dressing room, he came back to the old lady.
When the old lady saw him approaching, she whispered, "You go on." ”
He Fang continued what he hadn't finished saying before, and he said, "What the slave didn't finish asking is, Young Master Yi sent someone over to ask, what is the old lady's next move?" ”
The old lady was surprised, "So, Young Master Yi knows that my illness is fake?" ”
"Yes." He Fang said, "It was said that the eldest young master told him." ”
The news of Old Lady He's fake illness was only known to He Peiqi, and the old lady thought that Yi Tianyue's amnesia would cause him to forget the previous events on the night of the full moon every month, and even if he told Yi Tianyue the truth about his illness, it was useless. Therefore, after discussing with He Peiqi, they decided not to tell the truth about Yi Tianyue's illness for the time being.
Old lady He thought that the house was now full of He Mingfei's ears and eyes, and Yi Tianyue's inquiry was also a little sudden, and he confessed to He Fang: "You secretly check the details of the person who came to deliver the news, in case it is He Mingfei's deception, one step is not careful, and the previous arrangements are in vain." ”
He Fang nodded, "I'll find out where that person came from." ”
The old lady glanced back at the leaky clock and said, "Okay, you should also go and talk back to that son, you go and get busy first." ”
After speaking, Old Lady He lay back on the bed, as if she had been lying there just now.
He Fang came out of Bitao Courtyard, he first breathed a sigh of relief, the old lady had not drunk the medicine and concealed it from everyone.
Immediately afterwards, he sighed again, thinking that he would face He Mingfei next, he had deep remorse in his heart.
knew that things would get like this, even if he died poor, he would not accept He Mingfei's money and silver, and did the duty of monitoring the old lady for him.
It turned out that this He Fang was originally a second-class attendant beside Old Lady He, and was bought by He Mingfei more than a year ago.
He Fang saw that He Mingfei was considerate and filial to the old lady, and the old lady and He Mingfei have always been close. When He Mingfei asked He Fang to tell him the whereabouts of the old lady, he didn't think much about it, thinking that the reason why He Mingfei was because he cared about the old lady, although he acted a little inappropriately, it was out of filial piety.
What He Mingfei asked He Fang to do was not difficult for him, but he told He Mingfei who the old lady saw every day.
He Fang agreed to He Mingfei's request, firstly, he could sell He Mingfei's personal favors, and secondly, he could earn more money.
Besides, it's not a secret that the old lady sees who is in Bitao Courtyard every day, He Mingfei can also inquire if he has the heart to inquire, but it's just a little troublesome, and he is not disloyal to the old lady by revealing the old lady's deeds like this.
Until, before the accident in He Fuli, the old lady closed the door to investigate the ghosts, He Fang realized that something was wrong, so he confessed to the old lady.
Later, at the request of the old lady, He Fang continued to pretend to be bribed by He Mingfei.
Slowly, under the secret guidance of the old lady, He Fang became the steward arranged by He Mingfei in Bitao Courtyard, and became the person He Mingfei trusted.
He Fang knew in his heart that it was not easy to disobey He Mingfeiyang in this situation, but as the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and the old lady has promised him that he will give him a real steward to do after the matter is completed.
Thinking of this, the original bit of depression in He Fang's heart dissipated, and he regained his spirit and walked towards He Mingfei's residence, Qingzhu Courtyard.
The people in Qingzhu Courtyard are already very familiar with where they are, and now this hour is the time for their master to see where he is.
When He Fang arrived at He Mingfei's study, He Mingfei was reading the account book while waiting for He Fang to reply.
Hearing the movement, He Mingfei's gaze was withdrawn from the account book, and he looked at where he was, "Is the old lady's illness still silent?" ”
He Fang nodded, "If you go back to the master, no." These days, the medicine is taken regularly every day, and it has no effect, sir, do you want to change the doctor again? ”
He Mingfei listened to He Fang's report every other day, it had been a month, and the old lady still had no improvement at all, which made him a little anxious. He said to him: "Then go and ask the doctor again, invite all the best doctors over, and make sure that the old lady recovers as soon as possible." ”
He Mingfei is now anxious, and Lin Leyun's whereabouts have not been found. Yi Tianyue still lost his memory there, and Ma Daochang said that now is not the time to treat Yi Tianyue, and he has to wait a little longer. Now the old lady is the only one who knows the secret of the treasure map, and I didn't expect him to lose his memory at this juncture.
If he didn't lose his memory, he might not know some information about the Lin family's treasure map.
knew this, even if he was forced to do so, he had to let the old lady say that he was ugly.
He Fang was about to withdraw after receiving the order, but He Mingfei stopped him.
He Mingfei pointed to a money bag on the table and said to He Fang: "This month, you have to pay more attention to the matter of inviting a doctor." Do what I command, and you will not be unjustified in the future. ”
He Fang cried with gratitude, claiming that He Mingfei would not give up when he went to Tang Douhu.
He Mingfei listened to this series of statements, and He Mingfei's mood improved.
He thought to himself, even if he was a child and followed the old lady, he was not bought. Money can make ghosts grind, and Brother Kong Fang can do anything. There is only a price that is not high enough, and there is no people's hearts that cannot be bought.
Thinking about it like this, He Mingfei became even more determined to get the treasure. Only when the money bag is full enough can he better buy people to do things for him.
Moreover, since he read all the account books in the mansion in the past few days, He Mingfei has a new understanding of the business of the mansion, and he used to think that he knew the business situation of the mansion well. After reading it, I realized that the business he knew was only less than half of the business of the He family. He had never had such a high income from the original mansion, and He Mingfei couldn't help but be excited when he thought that the wealth would flow into his hands in a steady stream.
In order to prevent He Fang from seeing what he was thinking, He Mingfei straightened his expression, and he waved at He Fang, "You stand down, old lady, you should watch closely." ”
"Yes." He answered, and then bowed away.
