Chapter Ninety-One: Hiding the Heart
As the old saying goes, there is food in the warehouse, and there is no panic in the heart. These words are put on Ruixue, there is money at home, and there is no panic in my heart. A thousand taels of snowflake silver, let her hold the pen and paper and calculate for most of the night, this one wants to add, that one also replaces, a large sheet of paper, and finally I feel funny, so I prioritized things and simply arranged them.
The first thing is to go to Baohetang and redeem the dock shop, although it is the same as giving an extra forty taels of interest money, but it is the largest property in the family, and you still have to hold it in your hand to feel at ease.
The second thing is to buy a carriage, the old cattle of the Gao family travel through various villages every day, too tired not to mention, the road is slow, and immediately spring ploughing, the Gao family brothers are also three or four, in case there is a borrowing thing, it is extremely inconvenient.
The third thing is to prepare a thank you gift to send to Tianfu, and they not only went to the clinic to save Zhao Fengnian, but also gave a red flame fruit of more than 300 taels, which is really not light. But Tianfu is a rich and noble family, and there is no shortage of gold and silver, so she has to learn from the objects of her previous life and ponder two novel and shabby gifts.
Of course, there is one regrettable thing, that is, the book "Travels to the Twelve Kingdoms" is dead, and it will definitely not be redeemed, although Zhao Fengnian did not blame her, and even made a mistake, saying that he did not think it through, so she was worried about it. But every time she saw him holding the half of the transcription, she felt uncomfortable.
Zhao Fengnian sighed when he heard her, put down the book in his hand, and said with a smile, "What, but the silver is not enough?" ”
Rui Xue closed the account book and came to his side, Zhao Fengnian pulled the quilt and put it on her lap, "If it is still not enough, go to the old store of the Wu family to withdraw it, then I also invested some silver in the winery, and now I deserve to get some dividends." ”
Rui Xue shook her head, "I'm regretting why I sold that copy of "Travels to the Twelve Kingdoms" that day, it is something you love very much. ”
Zhao Fengnian smiled, "It's just a book, you can find it again in the future, besides, didn't you copy this half of it to me." ”
"How can it be the same, that's the result of my battle of wits and courage."
"I think it's the result of your deception." Zhao Fengnian rarely made fun of Rui Xue, provoking her to reach out to pinch him, but he suddenly grabbed his palm.
Rui Xue's face turned red, and she was about to pull back, but she heard Zhao Fengnian ask, "What's going on?" ”
Rui Xue was puzzled, looked down, it turned out that he saw the burn on his left hand, that day, in the inn for a while anxious about his condition, accidentally spilled the lamp oil on his hand, and then busy and couldn't take care of the medicine, and when the pain was unbearable, there was already some inflammation and ulceration, Zhang's sister-in-law went to the old hunter's house in the village to ask for half a bowl of badger oil back, and it was much better after being smeared, but in the end, because it was late, the wrist and the back of the hand left two red marks as big as copper coins.
On weekdays, it is not obvious, only occasionally it is hot or exerted, and the congestion in that place looks a little hideous. She went to pinch Zhao Fengnian just now, and the sleeves of her shirt were rolled up, and they were exposed.
Rui Xue hurriedly withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, I accidentally burned it while cooking, and it's already good after applying medicated oil." ”
Zhao Fengnian's lowered eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that she didn't want to say, so he didn't ask more.
Rui Xue remembered that she wanted to give Tian Fu a thank you gift, and she had the heart to divert Zhao Fengnian's thoughts, so she carefully told him about the door-to-door medical treatment. Originally, she was still a little complacent about that day's wit, but seeing that Zhao Fengnian's face sank, she began to feel weak again, and while carefully considering the words, she guessed what made this uncle unhappy.
Zhao Fengnian listened to her in silence, and didn't speak for a long time, Rui Xue couldn't bear it, so she asked, "Shopkeeper, but you think I shouldn't lie and deceive Old Man Tian?" In that situation, you were still waiting for him to save your life, and I really had no choice but to do what he liked and came up with this idea. I also feel a little unreasonable, so I just figured out two good things, and I went into the city in the past two days to order, and I sent him an apology to the old man, what do you think? ”
Zhao Fengnian looked at her cheeks, which were much thinner than before, sighed slightly, and replied irrelevantly, "In the future, you have to eat more to replenish your body." ”
Rui Xue was stunned when she heard this, and it took a while to react, knowing that he was feeling sorry for her, so she blushed and said with a smile, "You have come back to life, I won't have to worry about being afraid, and you will naturally gain weight." But, shopkeeper, were you just angry that I lied and lied to people? ”
Zhao Fengnian sighed, "I'm not angry, I'm regretting, I regretted that I didn't think well before I regretted it, and I made you suffer." ”
"Although I was panicked that day, fortunately, I had the help of nobles, and I finally rescued you, which can be regarded as a thrill." Rui Xue remembered the events of that day, and still felt frightened in her heart, but she didn't want Zhao Fengnian to blame herself, so she tried her best to pretend not to care.
"If in the future, the shopkeeper meets Mr. Tian and he asks about poetry, you will say that you heard it by chance when you traveled around before, otherwise he really wants to take the school exam, but he will be exposed."
Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Although I can't write chapters and poems in seven steps, I have read hundreds of books in the end, and I won't let Old Man Tian treat me as a straw bag." ”
Rui Xue stuck out her tongue and laughed secretly in her heart, how could she unintentionally touch this person's self-esteem. However, although she admits that Zhao Fengnian has some talents, the two poems she copied on the Shangyuan Festival are classics in her previous life, and few can stand out, she really doesn't think that Zhao Fengnian's level can reach that level, of course, she just thinks about it in her heart, but she doesn't dare to say it.
"On that day, Old Man Tian said that your illness was only temporarily suppressed, if you don't think of any other way, two years later, I'm afraid..."
Zhao Fengnian knew what she was worried about, reached out and took the account book on the table, and responded simply, "I have asked a friend to find a doctor, you don't have to worry about this." After saying that, he turned to the two pages of Ruixue's drawings and asked, "What is this, why is it so weird?" ”
Rui Xue thought that he could tell her how the cold poison in his body was infected, who Tuo's friends were, and even what his background was, but unfortunately, he diverted the conversation so obviously, did he not want to believe her, or did he not want to believe her at all... Didn't see her as his wife?
Thinking like this, she lost her interest, and gave him a rough explanation of the function of the rocking chair and the medicine box, and sat back at the table, and continued to take stock.
Zhao Fengnian sighed helplessly, but opened his mouth a few times, but in the end he still didn't say half a word, do you want to tell her all the dirty things he has experienced? Want to tell her that she was born to a famous prostitute in the famous martial arts? To tell her that it was his adoptive mother who poisoned him? Do you want to tell her that his father-like master was killed by his brother? Still, to tell her that he... There was also a woman who was married...
All the things, one by one, were blocked in his throat, and finally turned into a long sigh, saying that he was a coward, saying that he was running away, he just didn't want her to know this, he didn't want to see a look of disdain and regret on her face, although she might not be like this, but he still didn't want to take this risk, so wait, when he was detoxified, he told her everything, as it was...
Rui Xue absentmindedly smeared on the paper for a long time, but in the end she still made the account more messy, so she simply threw away the pen, stripped off and blew the lamp to sleep.
There are too many things these days, and I am really a little tired, I still feel annoyed, I am afraid that I will toss and turn for a long time, but I am already drowsy after a moment of dipping my pillow, half-asleep and half-awake, as if I could hear Zhao Fengnian next to me ask, "Where did you hear those poems?" ”
She replied casually, "I memorized it in high school." After speaking, her mind cleared up for a moment, and she wanted to ask a very important word that had been hidden in her heart, but unfortunately she couldn't stop the sleepiness after all, and fell asleep completely, so she repeated it over and over again in the dream, "Are you vomiting blood for the woman who remarried?" ”
Zhao Fengnian stretched out his hand to tuck the quilt for the woman next to him, and he was also confused in his heart, "High school? What does it mean, is it a scientific examination high school? Have you ever heard of such a wonderful poem? ”
The night was spent peacefully in the couple's respective speculations.
The next day, Rui Xue finished cleaning up the house, had lunch, and gathered Cui Niang, who was specially left, and went to the dock together, turned around twice, greeted everyone, explained the bolt and the stone to look at the shop, and entered the city with Zhang's sister-in-law.
Rui Xue sent the two of them to the cloth village to pick up materials, and then abducted to Baohetang, when the young man saw her come to the door, he smiled very enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law is here to redeem the shop?" ”
Rui Xue didn't wonder how he knew that since the Cheng family had come to the door, with the shrewdness of the old shopkeeper of the pawnshop, how could he not ask the reason, and naturally he knew that she had help, and the redemption of the shop was a matter of time or time, so he nodded with a smile, and casually stuffed the half catty of peanut candy bought on the road to the little guy, "These two visits, thanks to the little brother Zhang Luo before and after, these few pieces of peanut candy are given to the little brother as a thank you gift." ”
The young man always got her reward, and now he received food, he felt ashamed, waved his hand and refused to accept it, and then saw that Rui Xue was indeed sincere, so he stuffed it into his arms, and ran to the back to ask the shopkeeper, the old shopkeeper asked a few words about Zhao Fengnian's condition, and learned that he was cured, and he was also happy for Rui Xue, and happily accepted the silver and returned the title deed, and Rui Xue solemnly thanked him, and then resigned.
I went out to the opposite pharmacy and bought two catties of fine stone powder, and bought paper and pens in the calligraphy and painting shop I knew very well, and by the way, I made a small deal of three books with the young man who "smuggled" second-hand books, and finally met Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang to go to the woodware store, which took half an hour, so that the skillful carpenter understood the key points of the two woodware, and paid a subscription of five taels of silver.
Originally, Rui Xue wanted to go to Niuma Market for a walk, but Sister-in-law Zhang stopped her alive and dead, saying that it was too dirty, and there were always some ruffians coming in and out, and at the end she was afraid that she would not believe it, and also listed which woman in which village suffered a loss, and even talked about where she was touched in great detail, which made Rui Xue once again feel the "development" of ancient information dissemination. Thinking about it, she doesn't know how to look at cows and horses, so it's better to go back first, go to the dock tomorrow and ask, if there are any people who know how to do it, please one or two, and save yourself a loss.
