Chapter 46: Up the Mountain

Rong Jingru has never been such a mother, this cheeky is too thick-skinned.

"But didn't you say at the time that you would take a carriage to a nearby hospital to find a doctor?"

"It's not ...... Is the next-door neighbor closer? The young woman argued softly to herself.

"Our home is closer than the medical hall, but your child is so sick, why don't you find a doctor in the first place, what's the use of looking for us, after all, we are not doctors?" Rong Jingru obviously didn't believe what this person had just said.

Even the others in the room didn't believe it and turned their eyes to the young woman.

For they all knew that the young woman had a carriage in her house, and that she had already arrived at the infirmary for the time she had just lost at their house.

The young woman was staring at so many pairs of eyes at this time, and she only felt that her scalp was numb, but she still forced herself not to panic, but the dense sweat on her forehead betrayed her.

"You're going to be cured of my illness."

"If it weren't for the wife of the slave family, who kindly asked people to find the doctor, your child would not be as lively as he is now." Dongxue only felt that this young woman was really thick-skinned.

She observed for so long, but she didn't realize how much the mother cared about the child, but wanted to rely on their family to be true.

……

"How's it going, kid?" The honest-looking man asked.

"It's okay now, as long as he takes a few pairs of medicines, he can be cured." Doctor Xu thought for a while, "If you find that your child is sick in the future, you must find a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to have problems." ”

"Definitely, definitely." The honest man immediately nodded in agreement.

Seeing that he had a good attitude, everyone took the initiative to settle the consultation fee and medicine fee, which made him carry the child over.

However, Rong Jingru didn't intend to spare her like this, "I see that you still don't explain honestly, if the prefect doesn't take people back to the yamen directly, I think she should be honest when the time comes." ”

If there is really a person behind the scenes who wants to fix her, she thinks this is a good breakthrough.

Rong Jingru did not give up on exploring the truth, after all, the child did not look for a doctor as soon as he got sick, but found a neighbor who had never known him, no matter how high-sounding the young woman said, she would not easily believe it.

……

Rong Jingru felt that she was becoming more and more patient now, if it was in her previous life, she would have gone crazy a long time ago.

At this moment, the young woman only felt a chill intruding on her body, which made her suddenly feel terrified.

"No...... No...... No, I said, I will say anything, as long as the prefect agrees not to arrest the women and take them to the yamen. ”

"Okay, as long as what you say is true, the government will not bring you to the yamen." The prefect just wanted to blow her up.

"Someone gave a large sum of money to the woman when she went out, and as long as she did what he said, the woman would be able to get another large sum of money at that time." At this time, the young woman finally regretted that she should not have even cared about her own children for the sake of money.

At this moment, only a "pop" sound was heard, and the young woman was slapped in the face by her father-in-law.

"Why are you hitting me?"

"Why did you dare to ask why you were beaten? If they hadn't kindly invited a doctor to come over to treat the child, the child might have become a fool because of the lack of timely treatment. ”

"No, no."

"Besides, our family is in the cloth business, although we don't say that we have a lot of money, but it won't make you ignore the health of your children for a few hundred taels of silver tickets."

I didn't expect the honest man to start a fire, which was quite terrifying.

The prefect coughed lightly, which made the honest man temporarily stop his mouth.

"Did you see the man?" The prefect asked.

"The women were too excited at the time, and they didn't really see it very well."

The honest man's hands were already clenched into fists, making a "click" sound, which showed how angry he was when he heard his daughter-in-law's words.

"Then you describe what you see, and I'll have you draw a portrait, and I'm sure you'll find this person soon." The second half of the prefect's sentence was actually said to Rong Jingru.

He is also very curious now, who has the courage to come and frame the wife of General Zhenbei who has only been married for a short time, he is not afraid that the living Hades will know about it, and he will not be able to destroy him in a fit of anger.

"The woman had to do her best." The young woman was still not full-spoken.

The prefect nodded slightly, in fact, he didn't completely count on this person, it's just that she is now, they are just a useful clue to find out the truth of the matter.

"Yuan Zhutou, you take her to the side room first, and ask the person's appearance clearly." Now that the matter has been asked, he does not plan to ask again in person.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

The woman only felt relieved, because she could no longer look at Rong Jingru's terrible eyes.

……

The prefect turned his head to look at Rong Jingru, wanting to see what else she had to say.

"This time, for the sake of your child's face, I won't care about her in general, I just hope that she can distinguish priorities next time, if this child is being treated like this by her, he may not have such good luck today." Rong Jingru is not a person who cares.

Seeing that Rong Jingru had nothing to say, the prefect said earnestly: "You still have to take care of your wife in the future, don't lose a big one because of a small one, it's too late to regret it when the time comes." ”

Originally, he didn't want to care, but who made Rong Jingru the wife of General Zhenbei, he still had to give this face.

Besides, he felt that the young man in front of him had a good character, and he didn't want him to end up in a bad end because of his daughter-in-law's relationship.

"After Xiaomin goes back, he will definitely discipline her well." The honest man regretted it in his heart at this time, and he shouldn't have listened to his mother's words and married this person into the family.

It seems that this child will not be able to be disciplined by her in the future, otherwise he will not dare to imagine such a thing as today.

The young woman did not know that because her actions today had deprived her of the right to discipline her children from now on.

Not only that, but she was also disgusted by her in-laws' family, and even after this honest man went home, he prepared to enter the door with a flat wife.

Of course, that's all for later.

……

"Thank you Lord Prefect for coming here, otherwise with that woman's character, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble here." Although Rong Jingru was not afraid, she was annoyed.

"Actually, the government didn't help much." The prefect didn't dare to play any official power in front of Rong Jingru.

Although Rong Jingru has no grade, her husband is indeed a well-known general of Zhenbei, and he and General Zhenbei usually have no grudges, so there is no need to take Qiao in this matter.

"My husband is not in the house, so I won't leave the prefect to eat in the house today." Originally, Rong Jingru thought that the prefect had finally come to this trip, so she had to invite the other party to a meal, but after thinking about it for a while, she put this idea aside.

The prefect was also very good, so after a little delay, he left Zhuangzi.

……

"Jingru, I'll check." Jin Wushuang was still a little uneasy, and after thinking about leaving a word for Rong Jingru, he jumped and disappeared into Rong Jingru's sight.

In fact, she was also very curious, but since the prefect was invited over at that time, she naturally would not overstep her bounds, so when the prefect asked her to draw a portrait of a certain descendant, she did not object.

"The slave maid heard from the housekeeper that some wild fruits on the mountain are ripe, why don't we go to the nearby mountains to pick some wild fruits to eat?" Xia Lian felt that going for a walk in the mountains might be able to wash away the previous bad luck.

It just so happened that it was okay now, Rong Jingru only pondered for a moment before agreeing with Xia Lian's idea.

"Uncle Ding, why don't you take a look on the mountain? I went to see it last time, and there seem to be a lot of herbs in it, maybe we can be lucky today and come across ginseng or reishi? ”

"That's good, so my trip is not in vain."

As soon as Uncle Ding heard that there were herbs on the mountain, he immediately came to his senses, and asked people to quickly prepare the basket and tools, and he didn't want to waste time here for a moment.

A few maids on the side did not disturb their wife's Yaxing, but they did not have much hope in their hearts to find things such as ginseng or lingzhi, after all, they had never left Zhuangzi today, and the bad luck would automatically come to the door.

If these things were really that easy to find, they wouldn't be so expensive in pharmacies.

……

However, although she encountered this unfortunate thing today, the weather was good, and she also hoped that today's trip to the mountains would be rewarding.

After a brief meal, they walked to the hill behind the grange.

Because there are many trees on the mountain, the more they walk, the cooler they feel.

"Uncle Ding, where do you usually collect medicines?"

"We've picked them everywhere, after all, ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and the like you said before are all hard to find, and we can only pick one or two when we have the opportunity."

"Then I hope that we can meet ginseng or Ganoderma lucidum today."

"It seems that you are still quite confident, but if you don't find it by then, you can't make trouble." Uncle Ding teased.

He decided to give Rong Jingru a preventive shot first, so that when the time comes, even if he doesn't find it, he won't be disappointed.

"I'm sure I'm not going to make a fuss." Uncle Ding actually treated her as a child, which made Rong Jingru extremely embarrassed.

Even the maid on the side, when she saw her master like this, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, which made her uncomfortable.

They thought that Rong Jingru didn't know, but in fact, the main thing was that what happened before today was too depressing, and Rong Jingru wanted to let them relax and relax, so they pretended not to see them smiling.

……

After a long walk, they finally saw chestnut trees, hawthorn trees, and apple trees, but they were not very large, and the apples looked a little small.

"You pick wild fruits here, and I'll pick herbs nearby." Uncle Ding just discovered that there are some ordinary herbs in the vicinity, although they are ordinary, but they are growing well, and for him, there is still a harvest.

"Then let's pick chestnuts first." Xia Lian looked at the others.

She had already thought in her heart that she would arrange these chestnuts when she went back.

"Okay." Others did not object, after all, this one is the most convenient to pick, as long as the chestnut is poked into the ground with a long branch.

Rong Jingru did not participate in their discussion, but held Tinker Bell, jumped to the apple tree on the side, and picked an apple casually.

Although the apple was a little sour, it was fortunately within her tolerance, but the most comforting thing for her was that the apple was crisp and delicious to bite, which made her confident about the next pick.

"I didn't expect that the chestnuts that didn't look like much just now are actually loaded with two back baskets." Dongxue whispered on the side.

"It seems that no one has ever picked chestnuts here." She guessed that it was because there were very few people like her own wife, otherwise the harvest would have been finished by now.

"Let's not talk about it yet, let's pick some back quickly, but we don't need to pick too much." Xia Lian's eyes lit up, this chestnut can do some good things, just in time to take advantage of this time to practice her hands.
