Chapter 112: Nothing to do
After leaving Lin Wu's father and son, Mrs. Han hurriedly asked Han Beiqing to go to the city to greet Han Xiucai's father and son, and told the two of them about it in advance.
Han Beiqing drove the carriage to the city, first went to the yamen to take leave to Han Dalang, and then went to pick up his father and brother from school. The three of them didn't know what was going on, but when Mrs. Han was not in good health, they followed home in a panic.
On the way, Han Xiucai couldn't hold back any longer: "Qi Niang, what happened? Ah Niang's body and bones are okay, I came out of the house the day before yesterday, and she ate three bowls of noodles at her old man's house."
I remembered that after moving to this house, the old mother seemed to have a stomach in her body suddenly. I have to eat a lot of every meal, and I don't know if it's because I've eaten badly.
"Could it be that A-Niang is overwhelmed?"
Han Beiqing was speechless for a while, and said angrily: "Grandmother didn't eat much before, that's because the family has no money, and she is reluctant to eat. Now that the family has plenty of money, of course she dares to open her stomach and eat openly."
Han Xiucai was very ashamed of this, and hung his head and stopped talking, but he also let out a sigh from time to time.
Han Beiqing couldn't hear other people's sighs the most, looked at the road ahead, and flicked his whip to tell the story of Lin Wu's father and son coming to the house this afternoon.
"What? The third uncle engaged in the miracle medicine he did and used our family's name to collect money?" Han Saburo was the first to speak, obviously he found the cat in it.
"Miracle medicine? Where did this medicine come from? If it is effective, it is also convenient for blind dates. Your third uncle is a good person and will not lie to people casually. He has a flexible head, and the family has been thanks to him all these years......" Han Xiucai didn't believe that his younger brother had done bad things, and instinctively defended him.
"Recently, there have indeed been some things in the county, and many people have been deceived by the Taoist priests. But it's not just Taoist priests......" Han Dalang felt that this matter was not very proper, turned his head and told his cousin Han Sanlang nervously and seriously: "The third brother's academy is very close to Xin'an Street, do you know that there is a monkey trickster there?"
"Remember, it used to be very lively. But I rarely see him appear recently, as if I heard from my classmates that the monkey trickster seems to have eaten a lawsuit?" Han Saburo recalled a little, and asked with a determined face, "Isn't it a monkey hurting people? Is it also related to this "miracle medicine"?"
Han Dalang nodded, bit his lip and thought for a while, and continued: "I have always been unable to figure out that this monkey trickster can't even mix food and clothing by relying on passers-by to give tips. What do you do for a living?"
Speaking of this, Han Xiucai couldn't help but come over and asked with a stupid face, "Yes, what do you do for a living?" Z.br>
Han Beiqing, who was rushing in front of him, couldn't help but roll his eyes again. She now understands why the three sons, Mrs. Han, have to live with the second child. This has nothing to do with whether she is a talent or not, but her father is really simple.
People with this kind of emotional intelligence will only have to eat and fall in the officialdom in the future. Expecting him to do anything is a fool's dream. With this person's heart, if he doesn't cause trouble in the future, Han Beiqing will burn high incense.
Han Dalang was also speechless by the second uncle's "cuteness", and was silent for a while without answering him. He continued, "They will deliberately let the monkeys hurt passers-by, preferably the kind that bleed a lot on the spot. The larger the wound, the louder the injured person screams. The more people around you are watching the excitement, the more you can do your tricks."
"Humph!" Han Saburo sneered, he had already guessed the trick of these people. said with great disdain: "The victim shouted to report to the official, and the monkey man immediately took out the "ancestral magic medicine". The medicine was applied to the wound and immediately stopped the bleeding. And then say something about scarring or something like that."
Who hasn't been hit by a knife wound and fire! Such a good miracle medicine can stop bleeding and heal wounds in half a day. Everyone will be interested and begging to buy it.
The monkey man pretended to be embarrassed, and only said that he only brought ten medicines with him when he walked the rivers and lakes. In an instant, the elixir was snapped up.
These people took the miracle medicine home at a great price, thinking that they could cure the disease, but it turned out that it was nothing more than incense ash and dust.
"That's how it is!" Han Xiucai finally solved an unsolved mystery, and sat in the carriage and suddenly sighed.
"Could it be that the third uncle is like this?" Han Saburo
frowned, and scolded without hiding his feelings: "It's really stupid to lie to people at the door of your house."
"I think I was deceived by a Taoist priest." Han Dalang guessed helplessly: "I told you just now, many people have recently gone to the yamen to report the case and were cheated out of money by Taoist priests. This is a miracle medicine that eliminates all diseases in his hand, and he was a disciple of a miracle doctor who was passed down by word of mouth."
Han Beiqing took his father and brother home, and the three of them went to Mrs. Han to discuss. She plunged into the kitchen, and after a day without eating, her stomach was already growling.
Tomorrow, I will go into the city and go to the Bafang Ke Teahouse to teach the people of the Tiger the craft. Han Beiqing has to save up for taxes, and Han Laosan's deception doesn't need her to come out at all.
Han Laosan deceived in the name of Mrs. Han, what is the ghost idea, no one in this family can see it.
After the incident at the east window, people in the village came to Mrs. Han to ask for money. Han Xiu is a filial son, and he specified that he could not let the old lady get angry in a hurry. With his temperament, it is impossible for his daughter to take out her hard-earned money.
What money can he have? Isn't it the two-story building that the old man pasted upside down when he got married?
Speaking of which, he, the third uncle, is afraid that he has been eyeing this house for a long time. Roundabout calculations, phew, it's disgusting.
Han Beiqing scooped out three spoonfuls of brown sugar from the sugar jar, washed it with water and poured it into the flour. I took a few more red dates and cleaned them, broke them and threw them into the noodles.
Just when she was seriously making red date steamed buns, she didn't notice a small figure quietly walking in.......
