Chapter 53: Spout
(Bitter Reading) "She's Liu Zhixian's daughter?" Sister Xiang opened her mouth wide in surprise, and remembered the girl's description, and was a little incredulous, "Then she... She.."
She didn't know what to say for a long time.
"That's good." She said eventually.
The daughter of the magistrate, although the magistrate was once, but after all, she was a girl raised by an official eunuch, but she did not show the slightest contempt and disdain from beginning to end, if she was another woman, even if she saw that this Ejiao was fake, she would only laugh in her heart, and she had to say that she deserved it, and she would never point it out to her.
This feeling made Sister Xiang feel more excited than winning ten big households at a time.
"I have to thank her well, otherwise I will be embarrassed this time!" Sister Xiang'er raised her eyebrows, twisted her small waist, and said, "Dare to lie to me, Mom, you must not spare that dog!" β
The flesh on the woman's body was turned upside down, and she slapped the two fake ejiao in her hand, said "Look, okay", and strode out.
As for how this woman settled accounts with the bitter master, Liu Meibao didn't know.
Liu Meibao took the money and walked back happily, she no longer expected that the skill of identifying traditional Chinese medicine that she was proud of would come in handy in the Qinglou, and she thought that since the crossing, it has been several times that the east is not bright and the west is bright, and she thought that there must be useful methods or places that can make money, but they are all unexpected recipes and occasions that bring surprises.
Is this called survival and small wisdom leading to great wealth? Liu Meibao couldn't help but smile, and her steps were brisk, attracting the attention of passers-by.
"Something good has happened to this girl, look. How happy to laugh. Everyone whispered, and several people couldn't help but be driven by her happy expression, and the corners of their mouths rose.
"I'm back." Liu Meibao walked into the door of the pharmacy and said happily, "Uncle Song, I still earned money there..."
Before the words fell, I saw Song Sanniang sitting in the hall, and Song Langzhong accompanied him with an embarrassed face.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Liu Meibao asked hurriedly.
"Money? Where did you earn your money? Song Sanniang did not answer, but raised her eyebrows. Stood up and asked sharply.
Her expression seemed to be very angry, Liu Meibao was stunned, and reached out and pointed out.
"I went to the garden to deliver medicine, and I just saw itβ" she replied slowly.
The voice did not fall. saw Song Sanniang step over in a few steps, raised her hand and slapped her.
Liu Meibao was caught off guard and was stunned.
"Three ladies, three ladies. If you have something to say, it's good to say. Song Langzhong hurriedly came over to persuade him, and stood cautiously to block Liu Meibao, "Don't hit the child." β
"Go to the garden to earn money?" Song Sanniang's face was bruised, and she pointed at Liu Meibao with a trembling hand. "Why didn't you hang yourself in the first place?"
"You really don't have to complain about this," Liu Meibao only felt a dry and sore throat. The emotions that had been pent up for a long time were also difficult to suppress, and he looked at her and said, "I was indeed dead at that time." β
"Okay, okay, if you have something to say, don't worry." Song Langzhong comforted the two in a low voice, "It's all my fault for this, I shouldn't have let the girl go to that place to deliver medicine, I'll apologize to the third lady for you..."
When he said this, he really bowed deeply to Song Sanniang.
"The girl is a good boy, and she hasn't done anything at all. Didn't say anything wrong, didn't break the rules at all... Three ladies, don't be wrong to blame the girl.," Song Langzhong continued.
Liu Meibao's tears couldn't help but fall again, and she only felt that all kinds of grievances since the crossing came out together.
"You're right. She's right, it's me who's wrong. Song Sanniang's voice was astringent. said slowly, "I shouldn't have let her come out and show her face for food and clothing, let her be arrogant, it's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have brought her out in the first place, I should have let her achieve fame with her mother..."
Song Langzhong was very sad by her, and sighed again and again.
"Third lady, look at what you said, okay, don't talk about this..."He sighed.
"Okay, what the hell is going on to live or die?" Liu Meibao stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, took a few deep breaths, calmed her emotions, and asked, "Where did I provoke your aunt again?" Did I steal or rob? I grabbed a drug, ran an errand, identified a fake medicine and earned a hard-earned money, why did I make a fuss? β
She said it in one breath, her voice was short, Song Sanniang and Song Langzhong were stunned, in the past, this girl gave them the impression of being gentle and gentle, others said that it was good to say that it was not good, she had no temper, and she had never seen her speak in such a tone.
"What's wrong with the garden? Isn't it a green building? Isn't it just a prostitute? How? If I go there to deliver a medicine, will I become a prostitute if I get a reward from others? What strange logic is this? Liu Meibao didn't wait for them to speak, and continued, "I'm curious, what do you think?" What's all the fuss about? β
Song Sanniang looked at her in a daze, and she couldn't react.
"Girl, just say a few words..."Song Langzhong came over to persuade her again, and said in a low voice, "It's all my fault, it shouldn't be.."
"Uncle Song, don't say that, I really want to thank you for letting me deliver the medicine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to earn this money." Liu Meibao smiled slightly, took out the money bag and shook it, "Look how many there are?" β
As she spoke, she pulled the money bag open, poured it on the table, and rolled out several pieces of broken silver, these days Liu Meibao grabbed medicine in the pharmacy to settle accounts, and was already familiar with the silver money at this time, and roughly estimated that there were at least three taels.
She was also stunned, she didn't expect so much.
"What is this?" Song Langzhong was also a little surprised, and couldn't help asking.
"Didn't I tell Uncle Song that I know Chinese medicine, in fact, I am best at distinguishing the authenticity of Chinese medicine..."Liu Meibao said with a smile, and talked about Ejiao in the garden.
"I haven't seen Ejiao, it turns out that Ejiao is how to distinguish the real from the fake." Song Langzhong nodded abruptly and said, with some hesitation on his face, "If it's really fake?" Did you read that right? β
"You can't be mistaken." Liu Meibao smiled and raised her chin slightly.
The slap marks on her face were gradually sudden, and there were still undried tears on her cheeks, but there was a smile on her lips, and her eyes sparkled, which covered her whole face with a layer of energy, which was a look of confidence.
Song Langzhong stopped asking, and turned his head sideways to see Song Sanniang who was standing aside without speaking, and then he remembered what was going on.
"Look, the third lady is...", he was a little embarrassed and prepared to play a round.
"Who are you?" Song Sanniang said suddenly, looking directly at Liu Meibao.
When these words came out suddenly, Song Langzhong and Liu Meibao were stunned.
Song Langzhong didn't understand, but Liu Meibao did.
She also knew that no matter how she pretended, a person was different from a person after all, not to mention, she didn't deliberately pretend, this Song Sanniang was only afraid that she would notice something strange earlier.
"I'm Liu Meibao, not Liu Meibao." She smiled slightly, no matter how ridiculous things are, now she is Liu Meibao, Liu Meibao is her, this is an indisputable fact, looked at Song Sanniang and said, "Since that hanging, the previous Liu Meibao has died, and now Liu Meibao just wants to live well, live comfortably, rely on herself to eat well and dress well, what others think of me and say I have nothing to do with me." β
As she spoke, she grabbed the silver from the table with a little indignation.
"I'm going to use this money to buy a quilt right now! Don't sleep on that frozen straw quilt again! She said.
When this sentence was spoken, the originally somewhat dull atmosphere was stagnant, and Song Langzhong even couldn't help but want to laugh, but he was relieved in his heart, he was still a child, and he was angry.
Song Sanniang also eliminated the hesitation on her face at this time, and looked at Liu Meibao.
"Yes, I'm wrong about you." She said suddenly.
This changed Liu Meibao to be stunned, and Song Sanniang will also apologize?
"You can buy whatever you want with the money you earn, it's not a big deal, it's not worth being indignant, and I didn't say I wanted your money to support my family." Song Sanniang said lightly.
When she suddenly spoke like this, Liu Meibao was a little uncomfortable.
"It's just a few quilts, I don't want to spend them all, and I don't have anything to be angry about, even if I support my family, what do you and I share in the family..."She said slowly.
The atmosphere eased down so strangely, and Song Langzhong breathed a sigh of relief on the side.
"It's just that if you buy a quilt, you don't need to buy it," Song Sanniang said, "You don't need to buy it, and when you get to your house, there are good bedding." β
"My family?" Liu Meibao was stunned and looked at her and asked.
"Yes, your surname is Liu, our surname is Zhou, naturally not a family." Song Sanniang said lightly, "It's good that you get this silver, I'm worried about how to send you back, you will earn the travel expenses yourself, it can be seen that God really wants you to go back." β
Liu Meibao's face straightened, looked at Song Sanniang and asked, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" β
"It's not interesting," Song Sanniang still said lightly, "I'll send you back to the capital." β
Liu Meibao's grandfather's family is in the capital, which Qingya has already told her, so Liu Meibao will not be confused when she hears this sentence at this time.
But she was still a little puzzled when she heard this.
"Is someone coming to pick me up?" Liu Meibao asked.
"If you can't pick it up, you are a member of the Liu family, you can go back, and you should now go back with your father's coffin." Song Sanniang said lightly, while copying her clothes, she said goodbye to Song Langzhong, "Let's go." β
What she meant by this was that no one came to pick it up, and Liu Meibao stood still and didn't move.
"Auntie" she called out to Song Sanniang, "what's wrong?" β
Song Sanniang stood still, and only said lightly what was wrong.
Liu Meibao was about to speak, and when she saw someone stepping in to see a doctor, she smiled apologetically at Song Langzhong.
"Uncle, I'll go back first." She said.
Song Langzhong hurriedly waved his hand, his eyebrows and eyes full of worry.
"Girl, go back and have something to say, don't mess with your aunt." He whispered.
Liu Meibao nodded, smiled at him, and picked up the silver coin and still packed it in the money bag.
"Let's go." She crossed Song Sanniang and stepped out first. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
