Chapter 114: Anger
"Auntie, this duck is cooked." Han Beiqing called back the eldest aunt who was standing in front of the window watching the excitement.
"Sounds like the reason is wrong, don't you want to take a look?" Zhou wanted to go to himself but didn't dare, thinking that Han Beiqing usually likes to join in the fun. That's counting on her.
"Daddy and brother are here, what am I going to do?" Han Beiqing glanced at Zhou's and returned it in the words of the eldest aunt herself.
Zhou looked embarrassed, and his fingers rubbed his clothes a little uneasy: "The old lady's body has not been very good in the past two years, and it sounds like she is angry. I'm really worried that your uncle has messed with the old lady."
"Uncle is an honest man, how could he make his grandmother angry." Han Beiqing's prompt was clear enough, but Zhou still didn't understand.
"Could it be that my eldest brother is in trouble? This kid, what is he doing to make the old lady angry?" Zhou was in a hurry, and he didn't have the heart to cook.
Han Beiqing sighed slightly, stood up and reminded softly, "I heard that the third uncle sells magic medicine in the village? Or is it a miracle medicine that grandmother used? Ten taels of silver and a pair of medicines, a miracle medicine that can make an old man who has been sick for many years go to work in the field."
Zhou's face immediately turned pale, and he turned around to look at Han Beiqing and said uneasily, "How do you know?"
Han Beiqing thought that the big house would not be involved in this matter, but he didn't expect the third uncle to even pull the eldest uncle into the water.
With a displeased face, he asked, "You are also involved?"
"Me? We don't have one at home!" Zhou panicked and waved his hand again and again. If outsiders were present at this time, they would have been surprised to see this scene.
Zhou is also a woman in her thirties and forty, and in the face of a ten-year-old child like Han Beiqing, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.
Han Beiqing's face was strained, and there was fierceness in his eyes that made Zhou afraid. He swallowed his saliva tremblingly, and explained in a low voice that he didn't dare to breathe: "The third child bought a lot of magic medicine from a Taoist leader, and this medicine is also very powerful, and it won't hurt if you don't eat a stick of incense. The old Taoist asking price is also very high, five taels of silver a pair, which is very expensive. His family didn't have much money, so he wanted to pull us into business together. The purchase price of five taels of silver is sold for ten taels of silver, and we are divided into five and a half cents."
Originally, both of them agreed, thinking that the two sons would also get married in the next two years. I just want to take the opportunity to make a lot of money, and I can marry my daughter-in-law in a beautiful way.
At this stall, Han Dalang went home from the yamen. While eating, I accidentally talked about the latest news in the city. It is the fake Taoist priest who uses fake medicine to cheat money, and his methods are clever and harmful.
Han Laosan and his family were so frightened that they didn't sleep all night, and they didn't dare to tell Han Dalang about it, for fear of harming Han Laosan.
When Han Dalang returned to the yamen after repairing the leave, Han Boss told Han Laosan the truth. But Han Laosan scoffed at this, thinking that this was just an excuse for Han Laosan to regret it.
For this reason, the two brothers quarreled and broke up.
"The third uncle cheated money under the guise of his grandmother, and you just watched like that? Didn't you think to tell your grandmother about it?" Han Beiqing looked at the eldest aunt with a reproachful face: "If it weren't for the fact that Grandpa Lin Wu personally found his grandmother today and wanted to ask for a magic prescription. We're still in the dark."
"We want to say it too, but I'm afraid it won't be good to say it." Zhou was in a dilemma with a bitter face.
Han Beiqing sighed lightly: "Speaking of which, this is not a matter of *** in the first place. If you come and tell your grandmother, it will inevitably cause a storm. Both ends are offended, but they do not fall for good."
Zhou nodded again and again, and said to Han Beiqing, "That's what we dare not say."
"You know, the third uncle, under the guise of grandmother, wanted to drag us into the water from the beginning. If the medicine doesn't work or hurts someone, his grandmother will wipe his ass in the future. And what money does grandmother have? And ......"
Han Beiqing gritted his teeth, his face turned pale: "What does an old lady know? It's not her good son who is a showman, and he has a bad idea. The reason why the people in the village believe in the third uncle is probably because he has a talented brother!"
Zhou lowered his head and was silent, and not denying it was an acknowledgment.
Han Beiqing rolled his eyes and didn't want to say anything.
"Auntie, do you still want to go in and be scolded?" Han Beiqing turned around and muttered, and Zhou immediately understood: "Let's cook, but we don't care about the outside business."
The meal was ready, Han Beiqing pretended not to know anything, and brought the food into the west room next to the hall.
"Grandmother, the meal is ready." As soon as the words fell, Dalong walked in with a basin of water.
This is a habit that Han Beiqing silently developed for everyone after moving to the new house. Wash your hands before eating with clean water in the basin, and rinse your mouth after eating with a pot of water.
At first, Mrs. Han was still very uncomfortable and felt that it was too much. I like the old customs of the past to prove that these are just nonsense.
But Han Beiqing speaks with decent rules every time, and the most common thing he says is: "If you don't develop a habit in ordinary times, won't you be laughed at when you come and go with officials and relatives in the future?" When your father becomes an official, you will also be a serious old lady, so you will naturally have the majesty and dignity that an old lady should have."
These words entered Mrs. Han's heart, which was called a comfort. The most important thing is that Dalong and Xiaocan are all taught by Huang Bo himself, and his style of doing things is very similar to that of a servant in a big mansion. Mrs. Han looked at it, and her heart was hot, satisfying her fantasy of being an official's wife.
At this time, Dalong walked in with a basin of water. Mrs. Han inevitably wanted to put on the momentum of being a housewife, and snorted at her little daughter-in-law Zhang.
"Someone has beaten the water for you, don't you know how to serve your mother-in-law to clean her hands?"
Zhang was confused, not realizing what he meant?
"There's no rule at all for things that can't be put on the table. No wonder the third child would do such a foolish thing, I knew it was you, the goblin, who caused the harm!"
"Phew, spoiler!"
