Chapter Seventy-Four: The Covenant of High-Fives
Rui Xue stood beside the bed with a blank expression, no one could listen to what she said, when her mother passed away, she had held her hand and said a few words, but now this person fell without even the slightest sign, and she was holding her before, she would live up to her, but less than half an hour, heaven and man will be separated forever, who else in the world can afford the words "negative man" more than him?
"Slap," a crisp slap sounded in the room, Rui Xue slowly withdrew her numb right hand, pointed at Zhao Fengnian, who had five more blood marks on his face, and scolded, "Do you think I, Qin Ruixue, am easy to bully, I still want to die like this after deceiving me, how is it possible?" I must save you, and then let you be a cow and a horse for the rest of your life, and pay off the debt owed to me!" ”
Sister-in-law Zhang and Wu Yu both thought that Rui Xue was crazy, and stepped forward to pull her away, but she pushed her away, "I'm fine, you all wait here, I'll go out and figure out a way." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang wanted to stop her, but when she saw Wu Yu shaking her head and secretly winking, she withdrew her hand.
When Rui Xue stepped out of the door, Wu Yu said in a low voice, "Auntie looks at Mr., I'll follow my sister, maybe it will be better for her to go out and blow the cold wind." ”
Sister-in-law Zhang wiped her tears and nodded, Wu Yu turned around and ran out.
Rui Xue wandered aimlessly on the streets, wanting to find Lao Wang to find a way, and then wanting to go back to the village to get the money, but until the end of the street, he finally laughed miserably, and the doctors in the city said that there was no help, what else could Lao Wang do with a paperwork? Even if you take the money saved at home, you can't buy a life-saving elixir?
She has always felt that she opened a shop, made tofu, beat shrews, fought lazy people, not to mention omnipotent, at least she was a decisive and capable heroine, but today she suddenly found out that she was extremely incompetent, because these men could not save her, she would only cry like ordinary women...
Chu Gehuan leaned on the corner of the wall, watching the woman crying bitterly while holding a willow tree, and a choked voice reached her ears, and suddenly she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, is this still the woman who provoked herself to sprinkle gold all over the sky with a few words, and her words were sharp and calm? How could she be so sad and helpless for a man? Is the woman in the world reserved and cold, just because she is not facing the person she likes? That woman is like this, and the woman in front of her is still like this, and why is he not their favorite person...
Annoyed by this realization, he strode behind the tree, raised his fan and tapped it twice on the trunk, and sneered, "Why, you can save that sick seedling by crying so badly?" ”
Rui Xue raised her head suddenly, took two steps back vigilantly, and when she saw his face clearly, she frowned, and said angrily, "Save it or not, what's your business?" ”
Chu Gehuan opened the fan and fanned it twice, but he was suddenly shivered by the cold wind, coughed, and put it away a little embarrassed, "Where do you know where there is a good doctor?" Maybe it will save your husband's life? ”
"What you say is true? Where is it? Ruixue was overjoyed, and regardless of the staring at the person just now, she stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.
"In the west of the city, it is said that he is an old imperial doctor who has retired and returned to his hometown, and he has good medical skills, but he is not easy to go to the doctor." Chu Gehuan was squinted slightly by the bright light that suddenly burst out in her eyes, forgot to take Qiao, and said it all in one breath.
"Can you take me there?" Rui Xue looked at Chu Gehuan eagerly, thinking in her heart that she would hurry back to the village to get the silver, and the imperial doctor's consultation fee must be quite high.
Chu Gehuan came back to his senses, gently withdrew the sleeve in Rui Xue's hand, and looked at the lamp market not far away very leisurely, as if the words just now were from someone else's mouth.
Rui Xue stared at her empty hands, her whole heart slowly sank, she is not a fool, there is no free lunch in this world, and naturally there is no one who helps for no reason, he must have a plan to tempt him like this, and he is in a hurry to save his life, so he loses his bargaining chips.
"Tell me, what are your conditions? I only have sixty taels of silver, and I want a dock shop, and I will send the title deed tomorrow. Rui Xue also looked at the lively light market, his voice was flat and clear, and he could hear Wangcai's grin not far away, but he had heard his cousin say that the proprietress had built a shop with one hand, and now she was about to send it out, as if it was just a small plaything like a purse, it was really decisive...
Chu Gehuan also raised his eyebrows, "Oh, the proprietress is really willing, that shop is worth two hundred taels of silver now?" ”
"If there is life, there will be silver, don't talk nonsense, do you want it?"
"Don't."
"Then tell me your terms?"
"Conditions? I haven't thought of it for the time being, so let's do it, the boss lady should do three things for me in the future. ”
Ruixue immediately retorted, "What if you want me to kill someone and set fire?" These three things cannot be contrary to morality, etiquette, or conscience, and can only be within my ability. ”
Chu Gehuan pondered for a moment, a touch of cunning slipped in his eyes, and he raised his palm and stretched forward, "I can only take you to the imperial doctor's door, he can't see you, he can't go out of the clinic, it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Deal!" Ruixue stretched out her palm and struck him in one place, and the pact was established.
Chu Gehuan didn't say much, took her around the market, passed through three or four alleys, turned onto a spacious bluestone street, walked to a very imposing mansion gate, and said, "This is it." ”
Rui Xue was anxious that Zhao Fengnian was dying and waiting to be saved, and he didn't have time to look at the door carefully, so he went up the steps to shoot the door knocker, and in less than a moment, a gray-clothed guy opened the small door and poked his head out, yawned, swept Rui Xue up and down a few times, and asked impatiently, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Rui Xue stepped forward and saluted, and said with a reluctant smile, "This little brother, my husband is seriously ill, I heard that the master of your mansion is a master of the apricot forest, and he specially came to beg his old man to come to the rescue, and I hope that the little brother will pass it on on his behalf." ”
The little guy sneered, leaned on the door frame, pouted and said, "Our master used to be an imperial doctor, and he was for the emperor's concubine, how could he go to the doctor easily, today is Shangyuan Festival..."
Rui Xue didn't wait for him to finish, and stuffed a piece of broken silver that weighed two or two, "I also asked the little brother to help pass it on." ”
The little guy quietly shook the silver in his hand, and immediately put on a mean look on his face, and said, "I'm only responsible for passing the word inside, whether the master is willing to see you or not, I don't care." ”
"It's good for the little brother to pass it on, if it happens, I will have a thank you gift here."
The little guy creaked shut the door, and heard the footsteps gradually running in, and Ruixue let out a sigh of relief, and leaned quietly by the door and waited.
Wangcai looked at her slender body, and the shadow of the light was getting thinner and thinner, and the sympathy in her eyes was even stronger, and she couldn't help muttering, "Childe, our family and Tianfu are world friends, so you can take the proprietress in to meet you and help say a few good words." ”
Chu Gehuan raised the fan, knocked him twice on the head, and scolded in a low voice, "As soon as I enter, the second young lady will definitely be entangled again, and I owe people family favors, and it is even more difficult to get rid of them." What's more, this charcoal will only be expensive when it is delivered on a snowy night, and it is not yet time..."
His voice became softer and softer, Wangcai rubbed his head and didn't listen to it all, and scolded in his heart, his son-in-law was really getting more and more ruthless, in order to hide from a woman, he actually didn't save him.
Rui Xue was anxious, a short moment was as long as a year, and when she finally waited for the young man to reopen the door, she hurriedly asked, "Little brother, how is it, can your master agree to go to the doctor?" ”
The little guy shook his head, "The old man is composing poems with his wife and sons, and it is cold today, and the lady is worried that the old man is tired and refuses to go to the doctor." ”
Rui Xue was extremely disappointed, but she still refused to give up, took out the money and wanted to stuff it into the little girl's hand, but the little girl didn't dare to take it again, "Our master will definitely not go to the doctor, you better go to another hospital to beg." ”
After speaking, he was about to close the door and go in, Rui Xue raised her leg to block the threshold, squeezed open the door, and prayed, "Little brother, please do me a favor, my husband is waiting for help, all these coins will be given to you, you can help pass it on again." ”
The little guy pushed him out hard, and said angrily, "The master doesn't go to the doctor, what can I do as a minion, you can go find a doctor elsewhere." Our lord is very poetic tonight, and I almost hit the board when I interrupted him to write a poem just now, and I dare not go again. ”
Poetry? Rui Xue pushed, suddenly heard these two words, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the little girl, "As long as you help me pass a poem in, I will give you five taels of silver." ”
Five taels of silver, worth half a year's monthly money, the little guy was really a little moved, thinking that the masters were composing poems, maybe they could find an opportunity, so he let go of the hand that closed the door, and said, "The silver must be given first." ”
Rui Xue only took out two taels, "When the matter is done, three taels will be given to you immediately." ”
The little guy frowned, but he also accepted it, Rui Xue slowly recited a few words in a low voice, the little guy had also read the book for a few days, and he remembered it after repeating it twice.
He walked all the way down the corridor, through the second gate, into the back garden, quietly hid behind a group of servants and maids, and pulled the sleeve of a middle-aged butler, the housekeeper turned around and saw that it was him, so he scolded in a low voice, "The rumor just now made the master angry, why are you still there, go quickly!"
The little guy immediately smiled and said, "Uncle, I heard a good poem just now, let me recite it to the old lady, and I should forgive my sins, okay?" ”
The steward was extremely helpless to his own nephew, if it wasn't for his sister's deathbed entrustment, he wouldn't have to work hard for him every day. originally thought that by arranging him in the concierge with the thickest oil and water, he would get more money, but he didn't expect to see the timing and report indiscriminately, which made the master angry. If it weren't for the fact that it was not appropriate to see blood during today's festival, his ass would have bloomed at this time.
"You bastard boy only know a few words, what good words can you have, hurry up, and if you make your master angry, I won't be able to protect you."
The little guy had to ask for a few more words, but on the table over there, the old lady who was dressed very luxuriously spoken, "Steward Hu, but there is something to be done?" ”
Steward Hu sighed in his heart, shook off his nephew's hand, and took two steps forward with a smile, "Madame Rongyu, Xiao Luzi realized that he was ignorant just now and caused the masters to lose his poetry Yaxing, so he specially went to find an excellent poem to dedicate to the masters, so as to make amends." ”
"Oh, great poetry, that's something to listen to." The old lady did not wait to speak, but the old lady in the brocade robe sitting next to her spoke, although he was born in a family of apricot forests, but he was intoxicated with poetry, today coincided with the Shangyuan Festival, and arranged this lamp garden, enjoying and having fun, but his sons were mediocre, and the poems made were barely acceptable, but there was no brilliance, which made him very disappointed.
(I'm so happy, I just saw the pavilion's support, haha, thank you very much, the flowering period will work harder to code words!) After winning over Kavin for a while, I'll have a few more chapters. )
