Chapter Eighty-Four: The Tree Moves the Wind
Zhang nodded and glanced into the room.
The old master was wearing a coarse cloth robe, holding a book in his left hand and his right hand behind his back.
If you go back a few decades, he is also a handsome son, and now although he is old, he still sees his bones.
"Mother?"
Xue Mingzhu called several times.
Ye Shu'er followed Zhang's gaze, Xue Zhi'an was sitting in a precarious position, holding a book and listening to the master's lecture very seriously, the sun was shining on the side face, and the whole person was glowing, if he wasn't sick and stupid, he would have been a very perfect man.
Xue Mingzhu saw that the two of them were distracted, so they simply didn't care about it, and went to embroider by themselves.
After noon, the meal was ready, and when it was just served on the table, Song and Boss Xue suddenly hurried out of the door.
Zhang shook his head, and Bai was relieved all morning.
"Eat, eat, eat."
In the afternoon, Song and Boss Xue came back, their faces were not very good, and before they could drink saliva when they arrived home, Song looked at Ye Shu'er, and they were about to kneel down.
Ye Shuer was shocked in place.
Boss Xue hurriedly lifted the person: "Something to say, why are you doing with such a posture?" ”
This kneeling, Ye Shu'er will not be able to refuse what she asks, and it seems that this matter is not a trivial matter.
Song opened his mouth and didn't make a sound.
Seeing this, Boss Xue couldn't stand it, and said in one breath: "Song Xiaozhuang borrowed silver to marry a daughter-in-law, but people knew that they didn't do anything about borrowing money, so they had to ask the Song family to return the silver, and let Song Xiaozhuang earn ten taels of dowry money to get hired."
What I and the Song family mean is that we will pay back this silver, and we will not lend it to the Song family in the future, which can be regarded as the filial piety of the Song family, Shu'er, I want to ask you for the prescription of the medicine with your sister-in-law. ”
Having said that, Ye Shuer gave the choice to the Zhang family.
The eyes of the family were all looking at themselves, Zhang took a deep breath and sighed, and nodded: "This is also the last time." ”
"Thank you, mother." After Song hurriedly thanked him, he turned his head to look at Ye Shu'er: "Shu'er, Xiaozhuang's injury, you see ......"
"The prescription is a trivial matter, and it costs a sum of money to buy these medicines, which of you pays this money?" Ye Shu'er didn't want to pay out of her own pocket to treat their injuries.
Song nodded hurriedly: "I'll come out, wait." She went back to the house at once.
Zhang looked at her like this, what else didn't he understand, and glanced at Boss Xue: "You." ”
All the words are in plain sight.
Li Yumei watched from the side, and suddenly felt that her sister-in-law was also pitiful, she was raised into a soft persimmon character at home, and she had been thinking about her mother's family since she got married.
Song went back to the room and brought a tael of silver that she had hidden, which she left for the eldest girl, and now there was really no way, so she endured the pain and handed it over.
Ye Shu'er was not polite, she accepted it directly, and turned her head to look at the big girl, if it is...... Forget it, I'll talk about it when it's done.
Scheduled to go to town tomorrow, the family just started eating.
The master hadn't eaten with anyone for too many years, and he stared at the eating movements of others, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and when someone put the bowl, he also put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was really embarrassed to stay any longer, and he missed this atmosphere.
After dinner, I started studying again.
Ye Shu'er went back to the house, folded the drawn drafts and put them away, and took out the honeysuckle from the space, about two or three catties, and after putting it away, she went to the cripple's house to borrow a quick knife to kill pigs, and then prepared hemp boiling powder, mixed it in the grass, and fed it to the stag.
Cutting the antlers must be painful, but now the antlers of the male deer are too large, and it may be difficult to lift the head if it is allowed to grow.
Within a quarter of an hour of eating the grass, the stag fell to the ground.
The fawn came to the side and lay on his stomach, rubbing his head against the stag, very worried.
"It's okay, you go over there and graze and wait." Cutting the antlers may look more cruel, Ye Shu'er couldn't bear to let the two of them see it, and saw that the fawn and the calf had obediently gone to the other side, and she started to move.
In about half an hour, six pieces of the antlers were cut off, and Ye Shuer immediately stopped the bleeding, disinfected, bandaged the antlers, and applied some painkillers.
The stag woke up slowly, uncomfortable for a moment with his head, but as time passed, he jumped happily a few times, his head was much lighter, and he felt that he was walking much faster.
Ye Shu'er breathed a sigh of relief, packed the deer antler velvet and put it together with the honeysuckle.
The moon climbed uphill, it was dark, and the day's study was over, Ye Shu'er and Xue Zhi'an sent the old master back, and the two talked about the contents of the book along the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
The old master paused: "I'll go to your house tomorrow to teach you, save time for eating, and learn more." ”
Xue Zhi'an looked at his daughter-in-law and said slowly: "I'm going to accompany my daughter-in-law to the town tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, right?" ”
The old master's smile froze, and he slowly looked sideways at Ye Shu'er, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he immediately nodded: "Okay." ”
He watched the people leave and return to the empty courtyard, but his heart was empty.
When he returned home, Xue Zhi'an took a bath early and lay down on the bed, and when the bed was warm, he moved in: "Daughter-in-law, go to bed, get up early tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Ye Shu'er shrunk into the quilt, thinking about how the deer antler velvet and honeysuckle explained to others, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.
Early the next morning, the two set off for town.
Every morning, Ye Shuer would put the calf, take it to a place where there was no one and put it in the space, and for several days, the calf was in very good spirits.
She hoped that the calf would grow up soon and that she would not have to walk.
Walking for an hour, her feet were weak, she pulled Xue Zhian to stop, rested at the wonton stall at the entrance of the town, and asked for two bowls of wontons by the way.
The hot wontons were down, and the two of them eased up a little, and they were eating a man's exclamation behind them.
"Is that you?"
Before Ye Shu'er and the others turned around, Qin Shi had already walked to the table and sat down, beckoning the vendor to serve a bowl of wontons as well.
Ye Shu'er looked back: "Why is it only Gongzi Qin?" ”
Xue Zhi'an didn't eat the wontons anymore, and stared at Qin Shi unpleasantly: "We still have something to do, we have to go to the pharmacy, daughter-in-law, let's finish eating and leave." ”
"Okay." She still has to go to the embroidery workshop, there are still many things, Ye Shuer sped up the speed of eating.
"You want to sell medicinal herbs? You can sell it to me, the price we charge is definitely higher than that of the pharmacy, what kind of medicine is it? Qin Shi looked sideways into the baggage that the two of them were carrying, but he couldn't see it.
When Ye Shu'er heard that the price was high, she became interested and asked: "Honeysuckle, and ......" She lowered her voice to ensure that no one could hear it: "Deer antler." ”
Qin Shi was stunned, his eyes instantly glanced around, and after making sure that no one was looking at this side, he also lowered his voice: "There is no honeysuckle at this time, and there have been no deer in this place for decades, I think you should not sell it to the pharmacy in the town, the tree will attract the wind, and it will cause you trouble when the time comes." ”
