Chapter 020: Duan Xiaolou gave warm clothes

Zhenzhu stared blankly at He Angelica, who seemed to fall from the sky, and reacted slowly to get out of the way of the blocked mountain road.

She walked up to He Angelica and held the other party's hand, and her gratitude overflowed in her heart. Although Zhenshu and the other seven usually do evil things and have many quarrels with themselves, the eldest of them is only nineteen years old, and they have learned Taichen's temper since they were children. If you find a good family to be a maid for a few years and grind the impetuousness on your body, you may not have a good home in the future.

Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Wu packed the silver, said goodbye to the two with a smile, and pushed the cart down the mountain. Zhenzhu clenched He Angelica's hand, wanting to thank him but didn't know where to speak.

Last night, the water merchant temple encountered a great disaster and was almost wiped out. At that time, Zhenzhu thought that Duan Gongzi in the Jinyi Guard was obviously different from He Angelica, if He Angelica went to intercede for the Taoist temple, Duan Gongzi could at least listen to her a few words. So Zhenzhu sent Huai to find He Angelica, but in fact, he only had a little hope in his heart. Unexpectedly, He Angelica really said that he moved Jinyiwei, so that they only arrested Taichen's master and apprentice, and did not implicate an innocent person, which is very different from Jinyiwei's style in the past. Now, He Angelica has come forward for a few Taoist aunts who have never known each other, and he has also paid fifty taels of silver......

He Angelica blinked and said with a smile: "Sister doesn't have to look at me with tears in her eyes, first of all, I'm helping you, not helping them, I don't have my sister's kindness, I can save people when I see them; Second, I am generous to others, and the silver belongs to Duan Gongzi. Duan Gongzi, come out! ”

As soon as the words fell, Duan Xiaolou jumped down from the tree on the right, looked at He Angelica with a smile, and asked, "Is Miss He's wind chill better?" Does this cloak still fit? ”

He Angelica lowered his eyes and replied: "Very good, thank you for your concern." ”

Before dawn this morning, He Angelica woke up from her fragmentary dreams, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Duan Xiaolou standing in the middle of the courtyard through the crack in the window, holding a bulging burden in his hand.

After hurriedly putting on makeup, she walked out and asked Duan Xiaolou what he was doing. Duan Xiaolou shook off his burden, showed a few cloaks, fur cloaks and several sets of dresses of the same color, and said with a smile that he wanted to use these things to redeem the black cloak of the black-faced god. He Angelica could see at a glance that the clothes matched his size and the color was suitable.

Although he didn't want to be favored for no reason, looking at Duan Xiaolou's bright eyes and the tip of his frozen red nose, the words of refusal rolled on his tongue and swallowed back, silently taking the burden in his hand. If you think about it, I and him are people from two different worlds, and the intersection is limited to these few days in the Taoist temple. Probably because he saw himself as very pitiful, so he gave some charity.

After that, He Angelica picked out a set of dresses to change into, tied a cloak, and wanted to go to Kuqiao Courtyard to discuss one thing with Taixi. After walking a few steps, I saw Zhenzhu sneakily running down the mountain, and then I saw the scene of Mrs. Cheng asking for money. When she was trying to find a way to relieve Zhenzhu, someone suddenly patted her behind her, He Angelica looked back and saw that it was Duan Xiaolou. He also saw He Angelica following behind Zhenzhu, so he also followed.

Zhenzhu said gratefully: "Thank you Duan Xianggong for your enthusiastic help, but I don't dare to let you break the bank, the silver is counted as what I borrowed, and I will return it later, please don't shirk." ”

Without waiting for Duan Xiaolou to speak, He Angelica laughed and said, "Wait a minute, no one needs to pay for this kind of unjust money." ”

Zhenzhu and Duan Xiaolou looked at He Angelica in puzzlement, only to see her wonderful eyes, looked at Duan Xiaolou and said, "I have to let Duan Gongzi go on this matter." ”

※※※

As soon as He Angelica and Zhenzhu entered the mountain gate, they greeted them with a question, and said anxiously: "Senior sister, go and take a look, the master is chasing Zhenming with the dust." ”

Zhenzhu frowned: "What's the matter?" Speak clearly! ”

"Master asked Zhenming to clean up the medicine house, Zhenming and Zhengong have always been good, seeing that Zhengong was sent away by the master, he held his breath, and replied on the spot, 'I don't have the ability to rationalize medicine, find someone who has the ability', the master was very angry, and said that he would kill those traitors who had backbones in the back of their heads!"

He Angelica persuaded: "Don't panic, Jinyiwei lives in the backyard of her house, she doesn't dare to kill people if she has the guts, at most it's just to scare and scare, let's go over and see the situation first." ”

Zhenzhu nodded, thought about it for a while, and said, "Sister, you go back to the East Chamber first, and I'll go and persuade Master." "Taishan has a problem with blood rushing, once the anger comes up, no one will pay attention to it, and whoever is caught will hit whomever is caught, Zhenzhu is afraid that she will startle the weak Sister He, so she will not let her go.

He Angelica smiled: "Then sister, be careful, I'll go first." After that, he didn't go back to the East Chamber, but walked outside the mountain gate.

Although Zhenzhu was strange, he didn't care about anything else at the moment, and rushed straight to the front yard. As soon as I entered, I saw Zhenming sitting on the ground crying, protecting his head with his hands, and the copper handle with his palms facing Taishan was dusty, and his palms were beaten and bloody.

Zhenzhu just hurriedly grabbed Taishan's sleeve and persuaded hard: "Master, why bother to be angry about a child's crazy words, and carefully anger your body." Didn't you have back pain again, why bother to take such a heavy dust, I really know what is wrong, if you want to beat or punish, the apprentice will fight for you! ”

Taishan held his waist with his hand and sneered: "You are only afraid that you hate me in your heart, blame me for being too vicious in dealing with Zhengong and them!" ”

Zhenzhu Qiang smiled and said: "Master misunderstood the apprentice, today is the first day of your new appointment, I just want to have a happy and Shun, the disciples below are obedient in their hearts, and they will use more snacks when doing things." ”

Taishan not only did not extinguish the fire, but became even more angry: "You mean-no one serves the old lady now?" ”

Zhenzhu was sweating on her forehead, trying to justify herself, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and many Dao aunts ran into the house from the courtyard in a panic. Taishan hurriedly asked them, "What's the matter?" "It can't be that Jin Yiwei saw something that shouldn't be seen and came to arrest people again, right?

A Taoist aunt was shocked and said, "A group of crows came just now, and they came to peck at our clothes!" ”

"Crows?" Taishan frowned, "Crows have always been looking for food in the wild forests on the mountains, why do they attack people for no reason?" ”

The Taoist aunts couldn't answer, and they showed Taishan the stains, raw edges and broken threads on their clothes. After such a toss, Taishan's anger also went to Java. Besides, everyone is arguing here now, in case of attracting those brocade guards, they will catch her.

Zhenzhu observed the words and looks, and saw that Taishan had the meaning of calming things, and hurriedly shouted at Zhenming in the corner: "Master is merciful, don't worry about you child, what should you do?" Be careful later! ”

Zhenming glanced at Taishan, and seeing that she didn't refute out loud, he quickly got up and ran. Zhenzhu asked the "refuge" Taoist aunts to wait in the ear room, and turned around and poured a bowl of grape cheese for Taishan.

Taishan picked it up and drank it, put down the bowl and glared at Zhenzhu, and said angrily: "Now that the medicine house and the Danfang are under my jurisdiction, I am afraid that there will be another ugly thing like Taichen, and I want to rectify the medicine house." But I went to see it just now, and it was even more messy than a kennel, and the medicinal herbs were all mixed together. I thought about asking a few sisters-in-law to find Taichen's pile of broken medical books, compare them with the pictures on the books, and sort out the pharmacology according to the labels on the medicine cabinet. But those domineering officials tore up the medical books in a mess in order to find the account books, and it took more than ten days to spell the books alone. What do you say now? ”

Zhenzhu thought about it and said, "Why don't I go down the mountain to find a medicine store, hire one or two apprentices who can identify medicinal materials, and go to our Taoist temple to work for half a month?" ”

Taishan's eyes bulged: "Who pays!" Do you pay? The Taoist temple was fined for half a year and couldn't do business, and there was no money in the dojo money, incense, and money, even the usury business had to be restrained for a few months, and all the sisters-in-law had to tighten their belts to live, how could they have spare money to hire small workers? Damn, Taichen, the one who killed a thousand knives! And since you hired that cook, Liu Laojiu, there are often a few restless grease and powder who go to the kitchen to mess around, and they also look at the old lady as blind! Liu Laojiu fried vegetables in the water business view for two months, and half of the sisters-in-law in the view were all big-bellied! The old lady has already said that all the people who live in the water business concept are mothers, and if you recruit a male, you will attract a scourge! ”

Zhenzhu lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, thought for a while and said: "Actually, there is a ready-made candidate, and the apprentice doesn't know whether to talk about it or not......

"What else are you selling, say it quickly!" It's too anxious.

Zhenzhu said: "Miss He from the East Chamber, isn't she from a medical family?" I talked to her a few days ago and found that she is very knowledgeable about medical science and is even more familiar with medicinal materials. It's better for us to ask her to sort it out, it's better than us 'looking at the picture and recognizing the medicine' here, and it's all in the dark. After all, medicinal herbs are not food, in case those who don't understand medicine misplace, they will eat the dead. ”

Taishan's heart was immediately moved, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Yo, who dares to instruct her to do things?" She is now the great benefactor of our Taoist temple, and it is too late to worship her as a fairy aunt, who dares to let her do chores? Besides, the handsome official also took a fancy to her, and he didn't give him a head all day long, only circling around her left and right. I summoned her here, and the official over there was distressed, and gave me a charge of 'disrespecting the officials', wouldn't the old lady be able to eat and walk around? ”

"Master is too worried, Miss He is very enthusiastic, and she will definitely be willing to help with this." Zhenzhu suggested, "And Taichen didn't give her the medicine before, so that her body hasn't been well yet." Why don't we tell the outside world that we will send Miss He to use the medicine for two days, let her dispense the medicine for herself, and then ask her to help us sort out the medicine by the way? ”

Taishan finally smiled with satisfaction, nodded in agreement: "That's very good, let's also think about her!" You go and reason with her personally, so that she can do something for us with gratitude. Zhenzhu retreated, and as soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw He Angelica standing outside.

"Jackdaws don't eat the sorrows of the world, and they also learn from the prodigal son," He Angelica raised his eyebrows, "Has your master's anger disappeared?" ”

Zhenzhu smiled: "I said that those crows came very coincidentally, it turned out that you had a timely rain." But this is a strange thing, how can the crows be willing to help this, they can't understand human speech! ”

He Angelica wrote lightly: "I just gave them something good and bought them." Sister, where are you going? Zhenzhu told her a conversation with Taishan, He Angelica chuckled lightly, and agreed, "Master Taishan has orders, and the little girl dares to obey?" The medicine is just a trivial matter, and now I really need to prepare a few doses of medicine, thank you sister for recommending me. ”

Zhenzhu patted her head and sighed: "Seeing a smart little person like you, who doesn't want to hurt you more?" And this time you said the opposite, you helped me a lot, and I should thank you. By the way, is Duan Xianggong back? ”

"Not yet," He Angelica comforted her, "This little sesame thing is nothing to him, my sister doesn't have to worry about it, make sure it's foolproof." ”

Zhenzhu teased her: "Oh? So, you're already familiar with each other? ”

He Danggui looked at him left and right: "Let's go, go to the medicine house to see the situation...... I think it's good, the first two days of medicine, I just need to help Jingjing, but too many people will get in the way and help. On the third day, when the drawers were put into the cabinet and cleaned, my sister sent a few more aunts to help. After restoring the medicine house to its original state, I don't care too much, and I still have a few things to worry about here. ”

Zhenzhu was a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "What is it, is there anything that needs me?" ”

He Angelica raised his index finger mysteriously: "It's certain that you need my sister, but you don't have to bother, when the time comes, my sister just needs to respond." When Jinzhu wanted to ask, she wouldn't reveal anything.
