Mrs. Gong watched Xue Chongjie come out of the house, and the third lady went in to visit, Lord Xue entered the side room, sat on the big kang by the window and comforted the fourth wife, "I look at a lot of ......" said and raised his head to look at the fourth wife, and the eyes of the two people were red, "It's really a Buddha estimate." ()”

The fourth wife also nodded, "If he can get better, I will eat fasting and chant Buddha every day in the future." ”

Mrs. Xue said: "Is there enough medicine, what else do you have to prepare?" ”

Rong Hua brought the tea out of the maid's hand and gave it to Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Fourth.

Seeing that Mrs. Rong Hua's eyes flashed with tears, she hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief, "Thanks to Rong Hua today, otherwise how would we know to prepare wormwood, and when Lang Zhong comes, I am afraid it will be too late to buy it now." ”

Mrs. Nose also raised her head to look at Rong Hua.

Rong Hua said: "It's also that there are mothers-in-law around you who will know about this kind of thing." "The matter of wormwood is still Yaohua told her, Yaohua accidentally fell into the water, it was Lang Zhong who rescued it with wormwood, and I have to thank Yaohua for today's incident.

As she was talking, Mother Li entered the house, and Mother Li saluted Mrs. Xue, Mrs. Four, and Rong Hua.

Mrs. Xue asked, "Is the old lady okay over there?" ”

Li's mother said: "I was finally persuaded to rest for a while. ”

The fourth lady's face darkened, remembering the old lady's angry appearance just now, her hands trembled, and she suddenly said, "Do you want to invite Lang Zhong to take a look?" ”

Mother Li replied: "I have already called Imperial Doctor Huang, who often comes." As he spoke, he looked at Rong Hua with a slight bow.

Rong Hua immediately understood what Mother Li meant, stood up and said, "Mother and Fourth Aunt sit for a while, I'll go see the old lady......"

Mrs. Xue wanted to go over with Rong Hua, but when she saw Mother Li's slight head, she sat down again ......, Rong Hua followed Mother Li through the green bamboo road, and Mother Li said in a low voice: "The old lady asked Long Zhengping to ask questions." ”

Rong Hua had already guessed a few points in his heart, although the fourth uncle had woken up, he couldn't speak, what was the situation when he fell into the water would only be known by those present, so naturally he could only ask Long Zhengping first.

Mother Li stepped forward to open the curtain and let Rong Hua enter the house, the old lady lay on the chaise longue to rest, and the maid who served the old lady to take medicine that Rong Hua saw before brought a bowl of medicine, and the old lady finished taking the medicine before letting Rong Hua help Rong Hua into the side room.

The maids had already set up a screen, and the old lady asked Rong Hua to sit beside her, which allowed Long Zhengping to enter the house.

Rong Hua has seen Long Zhengping twice, although he grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, his figure is as tall as a northerner, a little slightly fat, the whole person is shrewd but kind, and the dress is not very bloated, there is no red gold and gemstone decoration on the body, only wearing mutton fat jade, at first glance it does not look like a businessman.

The fourth uncle did not regard him as a businessman when they first met.

After experiencing this kind of thing this time, Long Zhengping looked very embarrassed, his hair was not very neat, his clothes were half wet and half dry, he knelt behind the screen with his waist bowed, and bowed to the old lady.

The old lady did not stop it, and after accepting the salute, she still did not ask him to get up, and Long Zhengping was not the slightest reluctant.

The old lady said lightly: "The fourth one woke up and ...... it."

Long Zhengping breathed a sigh of relief in surprise and fell to the ground at once.

The old lady said with a cold face: "What's the matter with Wei?" You can make it clear to me now......"

Long Zhengping didn't dare to slack off, and replied in a low voice: "The fourth master and I were talking in the teahouse near the lake, I don't know when someone in the teahouse had a dispute, I and the fourth master were about to leave, and someone bumped into me if I didn't want to, I accidentally crossed the railing and fell into the lake, never expected the fourth master to jump into the lake to save me." ”

"I went ashore to catch my breath, but I didn't see the fourth master, so I hurriedly called someone to save people, but fortunately there were two ......... who knew how to be water-based."

The old lady said, "Do you know who is arguing in the teahouse?" ”

Long Zhengping said: "If this happened, those people would have dispersed all at once. ”

The old lady looked at Long Zhengping lightly for a while before asking, "Is your home from the Jiangnan area?" ”

Long Zhengping said: "It's ......"

The old lady snorted coldly, "But you don't know water? ”

Long Zhengping replied honestly: "I really don't know that I have been afraid of water since I was a child, and I have never been in the water......"

The old lady couldn't deny it and then asked, "Why did you choose that teahouse?" ”

Long Zhengping lowered his head, "I was going to talk to someone about business there, so I ............ Besides, it's a quiet place. ”

The old lady looked at Long Zhengping carefully, "Who are you talking about business with?" Asking these questions was originally a businessman's avoidance, but now that something has happened, she doesn't care so much, she just wants to see if Long Zhengping will tell the truth.

Long Zhengping didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "The people in Changningbo's mansion want to ask me to buy some rice and grain......

This explanation seems to be all understood, because he wants to talk about business with the people in Chang Ningbo's mansion, so when the fourth uncle fell into the water, the people in Changningbo's mansion happened to be close to the left. Long Zhengping is a businessman, and he has long cultivated a smooth temperament, but this time he seems to be telling the truth, his tone is gentle, his tone is sincere, and the fourth uncle knows these questions, and there is no need to lie.

If Long Zhengping wanted to kill the fourth uncle and use himself as bait, it would be too risky, who would have thought that the fourth uncle would jump into the lake to save Long Zhengping's life? Rong Hua frowned slightly.

After asking this, the old man seemed to be so tired, and instructed Mother Li, "Help me in and rest." ”

Mother Li hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady, Rong Hua stood up and looked at the old lady, and the old lady bowed slightly.

The old lady went out, Jinxiu poured a cup of tea, and the mother-in-law outside moved the pestle, Rong Hua said, "Please sit down!" ”

Where did Long Zhengping dare to sit, he still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, "The little one doesn't dare." ”

Rong Hua said again: "You stand up, we can talk." ”

Only then did he kowtow again, slowly stood up, and stood aside respectfully.

Rong Hua said: "What enemies do you have?" ”

Long Zhengping thought carefully, "The little one was also thinking about it just now, although he didn't have a face-to-face festival with anyone, but ...... "The little one who has come to the capital has not taken refuge in anyone for all these years, it is possible......... In addition, I used some small means to rice grain this time, and it was inevitable that I would offend people. ”

Rong Hua said: "You mean that rice and grain are transported into the capital in large quantities?" "Before, it was Long Zhengping and the fourth uncle who said that a large amount of rice and grain was going to enter Beijing, and she got the message and did not suffer a loss, but in this way, many rice shops in Beijing suffered some losses.

"Why do you want to buy rice and grain from you in Chang Ningbo's mansion?"

Long Zhengping said: "In the past few days, the little ones have bought a lot of rice and grain prices at low prices, and I think it's because of this." ”

It is not unreasonable to say that Changningbo Mansion is not without reason.

Long Zhengping said: "The little one will definitely find out, otherwise the fourth master will ......" said and knelt down again, "The little one's life was given by the fourth master, and the little one will never dare to forget it." ”

Rong Hua's gaze was still calm, "I'll say this when you see the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt later." ”

Long Zhengping kowtowed again and said, "Thank you, young lady." ”

Rong Hua went into the inner room to see the old lady, and saw Long Zhengping's words repeatedly.

The old lady looked sideways at Rong Hua, "What do you think?" ”

Rong Hua said: "I think that Long Zhengping will not harm the fourth uncle, and I have to check the rest." ”

The old lady nodded, "What if you can't find out?" ”

Rong Hua paused, "The more you can't find out, the less idle you are, and there are only a few in the capital." ”

The old lady sighed, "Although there are only a few, it is not easy to sort it out, the fourth child really saved Long Zhengping's life." ”

No matter who makes such a big deal, it has to be stopped, so Long Zhengping is safe for the time being, Rong Hua said: "Long Zhengping means that he wants to wait for news outside our mansion." ”

The old lady's eyes sank, "Then how can I do it, don't say anything else, what kind of system does it become to guard the gate of the mansion every day." ”

Rong Hua said softly: "I rejected him, and he said that he wanted to stay in the front yard and send him if there was anything." ”

The old lady glanced at Rong Hua, who sat quietly next to her and waited for her to speak.

"You child" The old lady patted Rong Hua's hand, "There are some things that you can call the shots, you don't have to ask me over and over again, there are many things in the house that I have to ask in person, and that's because I don't feel at ease"...... You're steady and cautious, and you'll do well even if I don't ask. ”

It was the first compliment she had heard so affirmatively since she got married.

"Everything before thinking of people, prepare in advance, in case there is anything you can also have a countermeasure, don't force yourself into a desperate situation when you are desperate, otherwise there is no room for turnaround, when you encounter anything, fame and fortune need to be sacrificed the same, don't think too much, first of all, you must keep your reputation, reputation is to be exchanged for generations, but interests are the most confusing. Our family is a noble family, outsiders seem to be close to wealth, you also have to know in your heart that the richer the more dangerous, if you want to weave a bright brocade, you can't make a mistake. ”

Rong Hua didn't expect the old lady to say such things to herself, even in the Tao family, she had never received such a teaching.

The old lady said: "Don't be discouraged when doing things, you must know that sour and bitter will only become sweet when they add up." ”

The old lady closed her eyes and rested after speaking, Rong Hua carefully came out of the inner room, and Long Zhengping was still standing respectfully behind the screen.

Rong Hua stopped.

Long Zhengping didn't dare to look directly, only lowered his head and vaguely saw the figure behind the screen, only to hear a firm and somewhat majestic voice: "You go down, you really want to repay the favor, and you are not in a hurry."

Long Zhengping's heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

After Long Zhengping left, Rong Hua came out of the old lady's house, and just walked into the corridor, Xue Mingzhe ran over, Rong Hua's face couldn't help but change, and he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xue Mingzhe raised his head and hurriedly denied it, "No" He paused, "I'm here to tell my grandmother and second sister-in-law that my father has improved a lot after taking medicine, and my mother said that it would be reassuring to let my grandmother and second sister-in-law know earlier." ”

Rong Hua smiled slightly, "The old lady is in the house." ”

Xue Mingzhe nodded, took a step forward and stopped, saluted in front of Rong Hua, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, second sister-in-law." ”

Rong Hua's eyes lit up and he smiled: "Go quickly!" ”
