Chapter Seventy-Five: Deception
Xiao Luzi heard the old man's words, and immediately trotted to the banquet and knelt down, and said, "The little one thanks the old lady for his grace, and the small one gets a poem." ”
The speaker, he read out the words he had just memorized, and read them out in a frustrated tone.
"Qingyu Case Yuan Xi"
The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain. The BMW carved car is full of incense, the sound of Feng Xiao moves, the pot light turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for her thousands of times, and looked back at dusk, but the person was there, and the lights were dim. ”
"Suddenly looking back... The old man stroked his beard, muttered a low voice, and after a while, he slapped the table excitedly and praised, "Good words, good words, really peerless words!" ”
Xiao Luzi let out a long sigh, it was not easy to earn these five taels of silver.
The three men of different ages at the banquet also spoke out in admiration, and even the old lady smiled and said, "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain, this sentence is really beautiful!" ”
The old lady shouted one after another, "I don't know which one made such good words, Wang Wenqing or Liu Zongqing?" Xiao Luzi said quickly, where did you hear that, could it be that these two people came to Lingfeng City? ”
Xiao Luzi replied with a smile, "Old lady, just now the little random report collided with the masters, and after retreating, he complained about the woman who sought medical treatment and disturbed the master's Yaxing, and the woman asked the masters to enjoy the lanterns and compose poems, so she recited this poem to the little ones, saying that it was an apology for the masters. ”
The middle-aged man who sat down with the old lady sat down and scolded with a smile, "You kid, I'm afraid you took other people's money, so you came to make peace." ”
Xiao Luzi hurriedly kowtowed and asked for sin, "The big man Mingjian, the little one has also read a few books, although he can't write poems and fill in the lyrics, in the end he can also hear the good and bad, the woman said that this word was made by her husband, but now the husband is dying, the little one thinks about such a talented person, if it is really gone, isn't it too pity, the old lady likes poetry, and is very fond of talent, if he can save him, the old lady also has many people to accompany him to gossip on weekdays." ”
As soon as she finished saying this, the old lady was okay, but the eyes of the younger young masters below were bright, they were very good at drinking flower wine on weekdays, and occasionally reciting two lines of beautiful poems could also win praise from beauties, but if those poems were heard by the old father, they would definitely be so angry that they would be bedridden. Therefore, every time they were called by their father to sit in the study, they were worried and embarrassed, for fear that the old father would ask them to make a poem for the occasion on a whim.
If someone could accompany their father in their place, drink tea and wine, and talk about poetry, they would be completely free from this drudgery.
The old lady originally had the intention to save people, but was stopped by the old wife, so he refused, and at this time he learned that the critically ill person had such a high talent, and he was even more determined to save him.
The old lady rarely gathers her family and children together on weekdays, and in the end she still doesn't want the banquet to disperse like this, so she stretched out her hand and pressed the old lady's hand and persuaded, "It's better to let the little maid go to clean up the medical box first, and the old lady will sit for a while, and also call the woman who is seeking medical treatment to come in to see her, so as not to have any mistakes, and the old lady will also work in vain." ”
The old lady thought about it too, and nodded in response.
So Xiao Luzi took the order, ran to the gate, led Rui Xue in, and whispered to her a lot of rules and the like along the way, but Rui Xue didn't listen to it at all, she came out of the inn, it had been delayed for half an hour, and she didn't know if Zhao Fengnian's condition had worsened, but she was anxious again, after all, she had to ask someone to come to her rescue, and she still had to be patient.
While speaking, the two of them entered the garden one after the other, and there were all kinds of lanterns hanging in the corridors around them, which were very bright, and there were several people sitting at a large round table in the middle, all dressed in rich and noble clothes, Rui Xue knew that this must be the master, so she walked three steps to the round table, bowed down and bowed, "Slave Zhao Qin, greet the old lady and the young master." ”
Everyone in the Tian family is not a fool, just now Xiaoluzi is making amends and dedication, although he is clever, but there must be someone behind his back, it can't be the woman who came to ask for help.
At this time, I took a few careful looks, but at the age of eighteen or nineteen, I wore an ordinary cyan cotton jacket skirt, a peach hairpin with simple sideburns, no half of jewelry on my ears and hands, a slightly drooping face, fair and round, and my eyebrows and eyes were a little less feminine, but it was extremely rare to have more than three points of heroism.
She stood in the midst of the lights in the garden like this, without flattery, without crying and pleading, but just standing quietly, humble and polite, and actually responded to the last sentence of the word.
The old lady was cold when she was young, and she was not very popular with the old lady, but fortunately, she was clever in her means, and several of her children were born to her. Therefore, when I saw Rui Xue like this, I was a little annoyed in my heart, added a touch of love, and asked with a smile, "Zhao Niangzi, don't be polite." I don't know where you live, why do you come to the door so late at night? ”
Rui Xue saluted the old lady again, and then said softly, "Back to the old lady's words, the slave family and the husband live in Yunjia Village outside the city, the husband is Mr. Mengxue in the village, today is to enter the city to enjoy the lanterns, when the restaurant is eating, the husband suddenly vomits blood, unconscious, the slave family is anxious, asked the doctor of the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, but the husband is helpless, the restaurant owner refuses to stay more slave husband and wife, the slave family can't, rented an inn courtyard to settle down, there are nobles who can listen to the slave husband and wife, and give advice, saying that your house is the Xinglin family, The old lady is a kind-hearted person, so she rashly came to the door to plead, hoping that the old lady would forgive her sins. ”
The old lady heard that she was a weak woman so desperate to ask for help, just to save her husband's life, and her heart was full of sympathy and appreciation, and said, "Originally, it was freezing and I didn't want the old lady to go to the doctor, but since you are so sincere in asking for help, you have to go to the rescue." ”
Rui Xue was overjoyed, thanked again and again, and said very solemnly at the end, "The slave family is poor and powerless, and there is no gold and silver and other things to thank you, but the old lady, today to save the husband, such a great favor, the slave family will remember it, and he will be rewarded in the future." ”
The old lady was more concerned about the poem and asked, "The first Yuan Xi just now, but your husband made it?" Does he have the rest of his poems in circulation? ”
When Rui Xue asked Xiao Luzi to send a message in, she had already made up all the details, and put the poem on Zhao Fengnian's head, the old lady likes poetry, and she is naturally a person who cherishes money, so there is a few more chances to save her, if Zhao Fengnian's life is saved and the lie is exposed, she will come to the door to make amends. If Zhao Fengnian really can't escape, there is naturally no need to explain.
"Back to the old lady, the slave husband is talented, but he doesn't like to show off on weekdays, this Yuan Xi is still made by appreciating the lanterns before the onset of illness, so there are no other poems circulated."
The old lady's face was obviously a little disappointed, Rui Xue was afraid that he would not go to the doctor, so he hurriedly remedied, "But just now he also made a poem, the slave family is only shallow in learning, and he has not memorized it all, why don't you go to the inn for a while, and ask the scholar to write it down silently and send it to the old lady to enjoy, okay?" ”
"Good, good, if you can fill in peerless words, that poem must also be a masterpiece." The old lady smiled, and when the housekeeper next to him reported that the medicine box was ready, he got up and went out first, and Rui Xue saluted the old lady and the others before hurriedly following.
The butler prepared the carriage, but Ruixue could not sit in the carriage due to etiquette, so he jumped on the wheel, gave the coachman a copper coin, and whispered to urge him to go quickly.
The little men opened the gate with great speed, and the carriage passed by, trotting and disappearing into the night.
Xiao Luzi put his heart at ease, touched the hard silver in his arms, and shouted at several companions of the same age behind him, "Today, the little brother made a small fortune, and when the value is exchanged, please drink." ”
Several of his companions shouted loudly, closed the door together, and dispersed.
Chu Gehuan walked out of the shadows not far away, and smiled helplessly, "Originally, I wanted to send charcoal in the snow, but I didn't want to add the icing on the cake, it's really a... The amazing woman actually said that she moved this old fashion..."
In the end, he sighed and instructed Wangcai, "Go to the inn and keep an eye on it, and go back to the house to report to me if you have something." ”
After speaking, he shook and left, Wangcai respectfully responded, watched the master walk away without a shadow, and immediately smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, this boss lady is really powerful, she just let the child's abacus fail, the cousin is really lucky, follow such a master, you will definitely be able to learn the real skills, unlike yourself, all day long is to run errands to deliver letters, when can you learn to keep accounts, when can you become a shopkeeper...
Don't mention Wangcai lamenting there, just say Rui Xue and his party, because most of the light market is scattered in the middle of the night, the street is quite easy to walk, and the carriage soon arrived in front of the inn, Rui Xue led the old man Tian and the housekeeper into the small courtyard.
Sister-in-law Zhang and Da Zhuang were already crying with red and swollen eyes, one was standing in front of the bed, and the other was guarding the door, and when they saw that she had brought someone back, they all hurriedly greeted her.
Ruixue didn't have time to say more, and asked loudly, "What's wrong with sir?" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang saw that she was sweating profusely, and hurriedly waved her hand, "It's still the same as when you left." ”
Rui Xue hurriedly held up the oil lamp and stood in front of the bed, and asked Mrs. Tian to sit down and check the pulse.
Old lady Tian took advantage of the light to see that Zhao Fengnian's face was handsome and elegant, and he really looked like a scholar, and he believed that the good words were made by him, and he made up his mind that he must go all out to save him.
He pressed the thought in his heart and meditated on the pulse.
Rui Xue saw that his brows were also like those doctors before, and the deeper and deeper the wrinkles, her heart couldn't help but sink.
However, Old Lady Zhao suddenly made a suspicious sound, reached out to lift the quilt, opened Zhao Fengnian's clothes, looked at it carefully for a long time, and said, "It's actually the poison of blood cold!" ”
Rui Xue heard that it was poisonous, her hands trembled, and the lamp oil spilled, which made her tremble, but she didn't have time to take a closer look, and asked in a continuous voice, "Old lady, what is the poison of blood cold?" There can be a cure. ”
