Daoist Song smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "The little girl recovered quite quickly." ”

Qingxu and Jiao Tao stood in the corner of the door and whispered, quickly exchanging the things in their sleeves. Qing Xuan walked over casually and smiled proudly: "This is thanks to the elixir that Master you asked for back from Zhenjun." A wall with Daoist Song on his back said a stupid girl to Ming Fei silently.

Ming Fei said: "But the person I want to thank is still the old Taoist." If there is no old Taoist elder to give me the elixir to eat, no matter how good the elixir is, it will be useless if I can't eat it. In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will personally come to the door to thank the old Taoist for his life. She had something to say, but she just took this opportunity to express the gratitude hidden in her heart to the old Taoist priest.

Daoist Song never thought her early wisdom was a strange thing, and said in a pretending to be a ghost: "If there is something in life, there must be one, if there is nothing in life, Miss is a kind and reasonable person, this is the good fate you deserve." ”

Qingxu can't see Song Daoist praise Mingfei, and he can't see Mingfei touting the old Taoist. Deliberately disappointed: "Bring the silver." ”

Ming Fei said: "There will be no shortage of silver, and the Taoist chief will cost a total of sixty taels, right?" She bit out sixty-two or three words heavily, for fear that Qingxu would not understand what she meant.

Qingxu narrowed his fox eyes: "This time it's sixty taels." Each time, if the government still needs it in the future, we will talk about it again. "I want to take this opportunity to get rid of the thirty-seven taels of silver, but there is no way.

Ming Fei looked at Daoist Song pitifully: "Old Daoist, what did this little Daoist say?" He's hoping that others won't be good? ”

Daoist Song scolded Qingxu: "What did you say? After using these elixirs of the old way, I think that this young lady will no longer need to spend money to ask us to contribute in the future. ”

The old Taoist wrote off an old bad account with a single sentence, so that he got rid of a kraft candy Zhou peeling skin-like character, Ming Fei couldn't help but be overjoyed, ignored the clear green face, and said crisply: "Thank you, the old Taoist." If it weren't for Jiao Tao's face, she would almost have made a grimace at Qingxu regardless of her image.

As she spoke, Mrs. Hua walked in, put the small blue cloth burden she was carrying on the table, and said, "Please also ask the two Taoist chiefs to wait in the carriage for a while, and the old woman will send the silver to the two of them." Her tone was kind, but her face was extremely ugly.

All Taoist priests who come out to mix have always been very good at observing words and feelings, and Taoist Song consciously led Qingxu out. When Qingxu was leaving, he couldn't help but look at Ming Fei twice, and saw that Ming Fei only looked at Hua Pozi and didn't even glance at him from the corner of his eye, stomped his foot a few times, and secretly scolded Ming Fei for having no conscience and going in a hurry.

Hua Pozi opened the bag and flipped through the silver ingots and some broken silver inside: "I only got twenty taels, plus the ten taels of broken silver given by the lady when the slave came, and then the twenty taels of the third lady, there is still ten taels missing." There are still some stewards there, but they are reserved for use on the road. How good is that? ”

She actually got thirty taels of silver from Wang, but deliberately only said twenty taels, and said that the other ten taels were taken out by herself. She also has the silver given by the Chen family, but firstly, the silver is not much, and secondly, she has her own plans - she was given by Chen's mother-in-law, and the Chen family has not been very kind to her over the years, and the reward is not much.

Jiao Tao thought that Hua Pozi must have secretly hidden the silver that Mrs. gave to Ming Fei, so she bit it to death and refused to take out the rest of the silver, and said in a consultative tone: "Or, discuss with the two Taoist priests, and owe it first?" ”

Hua Pozi sneered: "The dignified Miss Tongzhi wants to pay on credit when she sees a doctor, and she laughs at the dead when she says it!" ”

Jiao Tao thought about it, took off the silver earrings neatly, and took off the silver bracelet: "The slave has some jewelry here, although it is not valuable, but it can pass this level first." ”

Ming Fei's eyes rolled, and she also made a gesture to take the longevity lock hanging around her neck, and asked Jiao Tao to fetch her few pitiful pieces of jewelry, and sighed: "If my pair of plum blossom gold stud earrings are not stolen, they are worth a little silver." "I finally found a suitable opportunity to explain to Mrs. Hua where the pair of gold studs went, and if Chen asked in the future, she would have her own Mrs. Hua to explain.

When Jiao Tao heard this, she glanced at Ming Fei deeply, but saw Ming Fei looking at herself with slanted eyes, with childlike cunning and trust in her eyes.

Mrs. Hua sighed and said, "Miss, these jewelry are all given by Mrs., and you have to wear them when you go back, how can you take them out to pay for the medicine?" Jiao Tao is the person next to Miss, and she must also take care of Miss's decency, and she can't have no jewelry. Put them all away, and the rest of the slaves and maids will think about it. Saying that, he returned the fine hairpin and bracelet of Jiao Tao to her, gritted his teeth, and very painfully took the gold-wrapped silver hairpin with the thickness of chopsticks on his head and threw the thick silver bracelet on his wrist into the blue cloth bag, and said with a smile: "That's it." ”

Ming Fei's eyes widened: "Mom, that's your ......"

Hua Pozi turned back to Ming Fei and smiled lovingly: "Third Miss, as long as you are well, the slave will be satisfied." ”

Ming Fei said gratefully: "My mother and sister treat me like this, I will never dare to forget each other in the future." When I got back, I asked my brother for the money to pay you back. ”

Hua Pozi said modestly: "The third lady is polite. Only if the master is good at everything, the people below will be decent. Then the slave and maid will send the money out. ”

When Mrs. Hua went, Jiao Tao smiled: "Mother Hua really has a way, she can get so much money from the grandmother of the Wu family so quickly." ”

Ming Fei smiled: "It seems that the Wu family is quite rich, and they took out twenty taels of silver without frowning." ”

Jiao Tao couldn't help but sneer.

Ming Fei asked curiously, "What is my sister laughing at?" ”

Jiao Tao said lightly: "It's nothing, do you remember what the slave maid told you just now?" Madame gave the grandmother of the Wu family a lot of money and goods, and it is not surprising that she should take out some to treat you. But Hua's mother has only been with you for a few days, and she is willing to take out all her old money to pay for your medicine. Miss, you have been accustomed to seeing cold and warm since you were a child, do you think it is possible? "This is just a trick of the flower woman! If she is a person who has never seen the warmth and coldness of the world, she will have to be bought by the hypocrisy of the flower woman.

There are only a few people like them who can be rewarded by the Lord's family, but as long as they have the ability, they will try their best to scrape together some money, make some silver hairpins, silver bracelets and other things to wear on their bodies to fill the façade. A nurturing mother like Hua Pozi is generally ugly because she has to teach the rules, and the wet nurse who only needs to ask for warmth and warmth is two concepts, and the young lady generally doesn't like it very much, and the rewards she gets naturally won't be much. So if the flower lady didn't have other supports, or had other plans, how could she be so generous to take out her old book to help a poor girl who had an uncertain future and had only been with her for more than a month?

Ming Fei was very grateful to Jiao Tao for being so unobtrusive and telling the truth to herself, nodding herself, but she refused to explain everything like Jiao Tao, and only said: "I don't understand any of this, anyway, I only know that you are my brother's person, you won't harm me, you are the best for me, I only believe you, you can do what you see to do." ”

Ming Fei's words made Jiao Tao extremely useful, especially the sentence "You are my brother's person" made her blushing and shy. Under Ming Fei's earnest and trusting gaze, she said sincerely: "Third Miss, rest assured, the slave will definitely work hard to protect you and not make you suffer." You wait, tomorrow the slave will make the person who harmed you unable to get out of bed, no, it will start tonight. ”

Ming Fei's eyes smiled into a crescent: "I believe it." He pretended to be worried: "Sister Jiaotao, let's continue on the road tomorrow?" If I go late, will my mother be angry? ”

Jiao Tao hesitated: "But you are like this......"

Hua Pozi had already sent the master and apprentice away, came in and said, "As long as the young lady doesn't pull it, she must leave tomorrow!" This day is a good day picked out by Madame, and it cannot be missed. She looked at Jiao Tao, who seemed to have a different opinion, and whispered meaningfully: "The night is long and dreams are many." Now the doctors invited by the Wu family have not yet come. Just now I went to ask the grandmother of the Wu family for money, and she couldn't wait to stab me to death with scissors. ”

Jiao Tao sighed: "Even if Lang Zhong comes, I won't dare to take this medicine." ”

Ming Fei heard the whispers of Hua Pozi and Jiao Tao, and only smiled innocently: "Shall we go in a carriage?" The horses are going to be fed in advance. If the horse has diarrhea like me, he will not have the money to ask the old Taoist priest to help him see the disease. ”

Hua Pozi is old and sophisticated, and she immediately thought of another possibility from Ming Fei's words, if the Wang family is not on Ming Fei's side, it is very likely that he will attack the horse and carriage. So he seriously assured Ming Fei: "Third Miss, just rest assured, there are slaves and maids and others, and you will definitely ensure that you arrive at Shuicheng Mansion safely and smoothly." ”

The neighbor fed an ancient herd, who was very fond of barking in the early morning and noon, and at night, which was miserable. My husband communicated with him once, but when the dog barked again, the neighbor beat him up and barked very miserably...... I've been listening to the dog barking for two hours this morning, so bear with it.
