Chapter 206: You Can Beg Me
Min Moyao entered a study. Since ancient times, everything is inferior, but reading is high, and the price of things used by scholars is naturally expensive. Paper, pen and ink can be said to be luxuries, and ordinary people can rarely afford these things.
The two brothers, Kang Qiyuan and Kang Qijun, have just finished the imperial examination, although they don't know what the result will be, but Min Moyao still wants to buy them some small gifts for them.
Readers like it, and it is more fashionable to play inkstones and the like. Min Moyao has always liked a bowl of water, the three little guys have gifts, and the two big babies can't be missing.
"What are you going to see this lady?" ushered in an enthusiastic little two. didn't ignore them because Min Moyao was dressed ordinary. This man has a good attitude. It can be seen that he is a professional ethic.
"Help my husband and brother-in-law choose some gifts, they have just finished the imperial examination, although they don't know the results yet, but ......" still seems to make them happier. If you don't win, then when you review in the coming year, you can also forge ahead when you see this gift, and if you win, this is a celebratory gift in advance.
The little second brother is well-thought-in, and he already knows what Min Moyao didn't say. He stretched out his hand to lead the way: "Big lady, please, we have sent a few new inkstones and Hui Mo, do you want to see what you like?" ”
"How much?" Min Moyao couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but looking at the careful posture of the little second brother who pressed it lightly, she also knew the preciousness of this thing.
"This square of Hui ink is thirty taels of silver, and this square inkstone costs sixty taels of silver." This price is relatively expensive, you must know the current purchasing power, a penny is about equal to the current one yuan, this inkstone price, is really a luxury.
The little second brother made an offer, and at the same time observed Min Moyao's expression a little, and seeing that the little lady's expression remained unchanged, he knew that people were probably not bad for money. "In addition to the inkstone, there are calligraphy and paintings and good brushes in our shop."
Min Moyao said in her heart, what is the use of buying a brush? No matter how beautiful and expensive the brush is, it is not superfluous to write good handwriting. She shook her head, not going to buy this, so she asked again, "Whose calligraphy and paintings are there?" ”
The little second brother hung up all the calligraphy and paintings sent by those scholars. Or landscape paintings, or flowers and birds, or people, but everything. Min Moyao actually saw a splashed ink landscape painting in this pile of calligraphy and paintings, from the composition and layout, as well as the inscription, it is very good. "How much does this painting cost?" Min Moyao pointed to the painting.
"This is painted by our talented Zhang Fang in Kyoto, Zhang Gongzi's paintings are particularly popular in our study!"
"How much does this painting cost?" Min Moyao nodded and asked.
"Three taels of silver." The young man held up three fingers.
"Okay, it's all right." Min Moyao looked at the books. Ancient books, unlike modern ones, were printed on paper. In ancient times, paper was extraordinarily valuable. Generally circulated, it is all bamboo slips, on the bamboo pieces, only the particularly important, will be copied on the paper.
Look at these things that are bamboo slips and bamboo chips at every turn, they are too difficult to carry. If you ask about the books again, they are even more expensive. Min Moyao didn't buy books in the end, after all, she had to go back to Qingshui Town when the time came, and it was too troublesome to carry a few books from the capital back to the countryside. It's better to go back to town and buy it again.
Min Moyao gave the money to the second brother. Xiao Er saw that Min Moyao was generous, and he hadn't negotiated the price yet, and gave him a hand-copied bamboo slip, which was a suitable Analect for Xiao Ci's grade to read.
Min Moyao was very satisfied, and a few little guys rushed to get things to the carriage. came out, and Min Moyao also met Doctor Du. This guy was sitting in the carriage, and he was walking by, but he didn't expect that by coincidence, Doctor Du saw Min Moyao and Xiao Ci. Immediately stopped the carriage.
"Kang Niangzi~" Du Fu Doctor greeted warmly.
The last time I saw it, there was still a patient who had knots on his neck and needed surgery, so Min Moyao called him over and put his hands together. Farewell to now, counting, they haven't seen each other for more than ten days.
Min Moyao was happy to see him, "Doctor Du, why are you here?" ”
Doctor Du Fu rolled his eyes: "What else is the reason?" Naturally, I went to see a doctor! I'm a famous doctor now, and many people come to see a doctor. When he said this, he complained, and at the same time felt a little sweet, which was quite contradictory.
Min Moyao smiled crisply, her voice was tactful and beautiful, like a yellow bird in March, "Well, thank you for your hard work." Save the life and help the wounded, the merit is immeasurable! ”
Doctor Du Fu also laughed. Xiao Ci and Xiao Luo both came over to greet him. affectionately call him Brother Du.
Doctor Du snorted, "When did they come to the capital?" Are all the Kang family here? "When Min Moyao suddenly came to the capital, it was related to the Xu family, and during this time, although he has been seeing people, he still heard a lot of secrets in coming and going between these high gates.
Although the relationship between the Kang family and the Xu family is not well known, there are some rumors that he still knows. At the beginning, Kang Qiyuan and they wanted to take a scientific expedition, but if they didn't come, they didn't come, but Kang's mother didn't come either......
He wasn't looking for anything, he just casually said something of concern. After all, it is still a very happy thing to meet former acquaintances in a foreign country.
"No, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law are still in Qingshui Town, and my husband and a few of them are counting that my affairs are about to be completed, so they came to pick me up and go home together." When she spoke, there was a little gentleness between her eyebrows and eyes, which was the kind of gentleness that belonged to a good wife.
Doctor Du Fu saw goosebumps rising for a while. "Oh, if you're not in a hurry, come to the Du family before you go home. My lord still said that you didn't come to the door. ”
Du Fangru's identity, Min Moyao now knows it, this person is actually the prince's party, and he is an official of the fourth grade. At the beginning, the relationship between himself and others was a mutual achievement, and he used his own treatment for Mr. Wang's wife, and he got a high consultation fee, and let his family escort him along the way. It's already a big advantage for yourself.
The situation in the capital is complicated, and Min Moyao himself doesn't want to enter the game, so naturally he doesn't want to get on his ship.
"Your lord is busy with your nobles now, where can I bother." Min Moyao said gently: "Besides, you also know that I have received a lot of posts now, and I plan to make a fortune in this capital, and I am going back to my small village." ”
Doctor Du Fu was a little difficult to explain. Really, this kind of thing doesn't need to be clearly explained. "Then do you want to know the results of your husband's and brother-in-law's scientific examinations?"
Min Moyao: Huh? "Where did I know this?"
"My lord has a way. Now that he has resumed his official position, the results of the scientific examinations in the following states and counties must be collected and counted and planned to be sent to special departments, so ...... "Even if they are thousands of miles away now, if they want to know whether they have been admitted or not, they only need to look at the roster submitted by the state and county."
Min Moyao's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
Doctor Du nodded, "Can I still coax you with this kind of thing?" I don't have any good! ”
So, Min Moyao bought a gift and went to the door of Dengdu Mansion. Xiao Ci and Xiao Luo knew that this trip was going to the imperial examination results of their brother-in-law and second brother, and they were also very expectant and nervous.
Although they didn't take the exam, they were still worried, my brother-in-law was old after all, if I couldn't pass the exam, it would hit my self-confidence a lot, if I was sluggish, I could only waste time studying in the future, and my sister would have to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, and my sister was really pitiful.
When he arrived at Du Mansion, Du Fangru went to work and has not come back yet. Doctor Du took them to the meeting room. Doctor Du personally entertained him, and went to tell the master mother again.
Du Fangru's wife came with a goose egg face, high bun, thin eyebrows and a straight nose, and she was a beautiful woman when she was young. Her attitude is very gentle, a few words do not make Min Moyao feel raw and do not make people feel alienated, between words, with gratitude to Min Moyao, it is very good.
A few maids brought refreshments, which were made in the shape of flowers, and the shape of small animals, which were used to coax them to leave. He is a very caring person.
Mrs. Du called several sons of her family to come over and took Xiao Ci and Xiao Luo to play together. Xiao Ci looked at Min Moyao very obediently and asked for advice.
Min Moyao saw that the little boy of the Du family was also about ten years old, his eyes were clear, and his manners were polite, so he nodded: "Go ahead, just don't play too crazy." ”
"Got it, sister."
Xiao Luo followed to take care of Xiao Ci. After all, this is in someone else's home, and Xiao Luo is also afraid that Xiao Ci will be bullied or something. As a result, after contact all the way, the little son of the Du family treats people very well, even if Xiao Ci has a big birthmark on his face, he doesn't stare at other people's defects. It made Xiao Luo and Xiao Ci feel very comfortable in their hearts.
After all, they are still children, maintaining innocence and childlike fun, and it is easy to play together.
When Min Moyao and Mrs. Du were talking, they looked at the little guys through the window from time to time, and they were a lot more relieved.
Mrs. Du, as Du Fangru's pillow person, coupled with the fact that Du Fu Doctor mentions it from time to time, naturally has an impression of Min Moyao. When we meet again today, the person in this impression is in front of me, which is considered to be the right number.
Mrs. Du didn't talk about those things in the officialdom, nor did she talk about the things in the back house of the noble ladies, but picked the matter of Min Moyao's medical consultation that she could interject. It's all about things that Min Moyao has treated. Min Moyao has a common topic.
Then we talked about their husbands from these patients. When Du Fangru came back from the pile of public affairs, he saw the two talking and laughing happily.
On the contrary, Doctor Du sat not far from the door, like a gatekeeper. He thought about it for a second time, and he understood. Min Moyao is a woman, and it doesn't matter if her wife is not in Qingshui Town before, but now that she is in the capital, she should naturally be received by her wife, so Du Fu Doctor can only stay outside to avoid suspicion.
Seeing that he was back, Doctor Du's eyes were a little more vibrant. "Master, you're back." As he spoke, he helped take over Du Fangru's official hat, and then followed his master inside.
When I saw Min Moyao, my smile was much brighter. "Master, Miss Min has been waiting for you for a while."
Du Fangru sat down, and Mrs. Du personally poured tea for him and sent a folding fan. In silence, these little things are done very thoughtfully.
Min Moyao is very envious of such a husband and wife mode of getting along with each other. only blinked and looked at Du Fangru.
"You girl, you haven't been here for so long, why are you free to come over today?" This is a straightforward question, and there are still some grievances when you listen carefully. This girl is really ruthless, just to avoid suspicion, she can do it without contacting them.
The corners of Min Moyao's lips raised, and her tone was very sincere, "Brother Du, I want to see the results of my husband's and my brother-in-law's scientific examination!" ”
Du Fangru was depressed, "Hmph, that's all I can do, right?" ”
Min Moyao tilted her head, and her face almost said: What do you think?
Du Fangru almost didn't mention it in one breath, this girl, I really don't know whether to say that she is upright or angry.
Forget it, forget it, don't worry about this girl, otherwise he is afraid that he will have a heart attack.
After chatting for a while, Min Moyao urged: "Oh, Master Du, Brother Du, you see that it's not early, you can help me solve the doubts in my heart, and I should go back early." You talk about him left and right, and it makes me curious, and I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Dufu Medical ...... Looking at the dark face of his master, he couldn't help but give Min Moyao a thumbs up. 's own master, his face was not so ugly when he was degraded, but now he is planted in the hands of a little girl like Min Moyao. Sure enough, there is always a nemesis in everything.
Doctor Du simply stretched out his hand and covered his face. Forget it, he can't save this girl.
As for Mrs. Du, she thought it was quite interesting to watch her husband get deflated. She is not jealous, after all, Min Moyao has already married, this time she came to the door for her husband's affairs, coupled with her husband's attitude, she is clear herself, where will the harmonious relationship between each other be ruined because of something out of nothing.
Du Fangru flicked his sleeves, "Hmph, this is a secret of the imperial court, how can it be that you can see it if you want to?" ”
Min Moyao sighed, not disappointed, "Then why are you delaying me for so much time?" I said I couldn't watch it, so I'll go back! ”
Du Fangru......
This time I really wanted to vomit blood.
"You can beg me!" He said with dignity.
Min Moyao sighed, "Then I beg you." ”
This little girl's film, it's really too unprincipled, too unprincipled, too insistent on a stand, look at this good attitude of begging for others, it can be said so easily, he sighed, gritted his back molars, and his voice seemed to roll out from between his teeth: "Okay, let's go, for the sake of the original friendship, I'll check it for you." ”
