Chapter 14: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"He helped others design me for a second account, he stopped me from being a second account, he was unconscious and I saved him, it was the third account, he scolded me for being the fourth account, and he concealed that the person was the fifth account. A total of five thousand taels, no two prices. β
"You might as well grab it!" Mrs. Gu's eyes widened and she almost roared, it was like a lion's mouth!
"Do the old lady and the eldest lady think that the sixth son is not worth the price?" Su Yansheng brushed the silver needle with his hand, but there was no needle in his hand.
"Ahh
"Slow, slow." Mrs. Gu broke out in a cold sweat.
Old Madam Gu was relatively calm: "Are you threatening me?" β
"The old lady thinks highly of me, I'm just a medical girl, I don't have any background, you can even bully me, but I dare to say that I have the ability to be worth this price, and you have all seen it. The old lady thinks that my treatment is not worth the price, so it's okay, the two imperial doctors are still there, you can invite them, but I don't know, what is the price of the two imperial doctors. β
The two imperial doctors looked different: This little girl is really not afraid of offending people.
It is impossible for the imperial doctor's consultation fee to be so expensive, but after the treatment, it is inevitable that he will give a generous gift, which is sometimes more than 5,000 taels. You must know that some generous gifts are hard to find, and the market is priceless. Even if it can't be cured, etiquette is usually unavoidable.
Thinking about it this way, five thousand taels doesn't seem so difficult to accept.
"Girl, let's take acupuncture first, and everything else is easy to say." Mrs. Gu still cares about her son the most.
Su Yanshang opened her needle bag again and put back the needle she had just pulled out, and Mrs. Gu's heart was about to jump to her throat.
This girl is ruthless!
I have to admit that those who ask for help are weak, even if the power is monstrous.
"Mama, take my pair of cards and keys, and immediately go to the treasury to get five thousand taels of silver, and another hundred-year-old ginseng." Mrs. Gu commanded without hesitation, not feeling the slightest pain.
Old Madam Gu rolled her eyes: It's too much to breathe!
Mrs. Gu asked with her eyes: Can you use a needle now?
Su Yanshang took out two thick silver needles from the needle bag, and the size of the needle made Mrs. Gu's back cold: "Can't you use the needle just now?" β
"I'm a doctor, and I'm in charge. But I didn't mean it, the needle was pulled out just now, and I couldn't use it again, and the effect of using it again was not good, so I had to change to a big needle. β
Mrs. Gu repented: No matter whether Su Yansheng's words are true or not, at this time, only she has the final say.
Forget it, as long as it can be cured.
Old Madam Gu was dissatisfied: this matter was not so easy to pass.
The Dingning Hou Mansion was depressed and dull because Su Yanshang was "invited" to the Gu Mansion early in the morning.
At first, Mrs. Feng thought that Su Yanshang had won the favor of others again, and the other party was busy repaying the favor, but after Feng Jiaxian said it, she knew that this time Su Yanshang had stabbed Lou Zi, and the disaster was not small.
"Come back this time, just send her away!" Old Madam Feng was restless in her heart, "Mama, you prepare some generous gifts, in case the people from the Gu Mansion come over, so that they can know that the mistakes she made have nothing to do with the Dingning Hou Mansion." β
"Mother-in-lawβ" Shen wanted to say something, but the old lady didn't look at her and raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Old lady, Miss Su is back." A maid came in to give a report.
Feng Jiaxian's eyes flashed with anticipation and happiness, but Shen's eyes were full of worry.
When Su Yanshang walked into Yilan Garden, Old Madam Feng was squinting at her with a face that no one could approach, and shouted, "Kneel down for me!" β
"Old lady, why did you let me do this great gift today?" Su Yanshang had long expected such a show.
The people who care about her the most and those who hate her the most will appear together at some point, afraid that she will be unlucky, or hope that she will be unlucky.
Seeing that Su Yansheng was still so upright and arrogant, Old Madam Feng sneered: "Shen, this is your niece's upbringing, when she came to the mansion, she didn't walk around at will according to the rules of our mansion, she always went out to show her face and cause trouble. β
"Mother-in-law, you have to ask about the situation first." Shen was the only one who didn't want Su Yanshang to have an accident, and when she saw her come back with all her beards and tails, she finally let go of half of her heart.
"What else is there to ask, this is all to Tai Sui's head to break ground, today it is the Gu Mansion that is offended, will it offend the royal family tomorrow, is it necessary to involve the Hou Mansion to behead you before you think the situation is serious?" These words were addressed to the Shen family, and the old lady's dissatisfaction with her over the years wanted to explode at this moment.
"Grandmother, let my cousin tell me about the situation, my cousin is still young, just take care of her more in the future, why be angry with yourself." Feng Jiaxian said.
"It's all the people who are in the middle of it, I'm embarrassed to say it's small, it is said that Sister Jia is not much older than you, look at what people do? can already help the house to manage the feed, but it also depends on the background, after all, your parents are businessmen, and although Sister Jia's mother is a businessman, at least her father's status is noble, hey! β
Old Madam Feng patted the back of Feng Jiaxian's hand: "You are still sensible, how good it should be for all children to be like you!" β
Feng Jiaxian half-bowed his head, and glanced at Shen.
His mother's eyes have always been on Su Yansheng.
"I have some things that the maid took when I just entered the door." Su Yanshang said, turned around and walked out the door.
The little maid with something in her hand stood at the door of the living room.
When Su Yanshang came back from outside the door, he took a rectangular mahogany box, which was very exquisite.
Su Yanshang handed the box to Mama Zou beside Old Madam Feng: "This is a gift brought back to you, it was given by Old Madam Gufu." β
Mama Zou took the box and her hand sank, she opened it carefully, good guy, there is a hundred-year-old ginseng lying in it, such a quality is rare on the market.
"This ......" Old Madam Feng's eyes lit up, but she was confused.
"I came to Gu's Mansion today as a guest, and I fell in love with Old Madam Gu, so she asked me to bring this to you." Su Yanshang talked nonsense without any pressure.
After living two lives, she understands it too well, and most people like to listen to lies.
"Are you a guest at the Gu Mansion?" Old Madam Feng couldn't believe it, she glanced at Feng Jiaxian.
Didn't Sister Jia say that Su Yanshang injured Gu Liulang, and Gu Fu was very angry?
But what about this ginseng? Not to mention that Su Yanshang doesn't have so much silver, even if he does, it is really not easy to buy ginseng of this quality in the market.
Feng Jiaxian was also confused, no matter what, she didn't believe that Su Yanshang was going to Gu Mansion as a guest, but if she really offended Gu Mansion, where was it so easy to be put back, and she was also courteous?
"Oh yes." Su Yanshang motioned for the maid to bring another thing as well.
The maid walked in with a piano on her back.
"The people in the Gu Mansion said that if Cousin Jiaxian's piano is broken in the future, she can go to the Teaching Department for help, and go to Gu Liulang alone, and if it is spread out, it may damage her reputation." Su Yanshang said slowly.
"Sister Jia? You went to Gu Liulang? Shen said nervously and puzzled.
"Mother, I don't." That's a good thing to say.
This Gu Liulang is a well-known gentleman in the capital, who would find a gentleman to repair the piano?
"If my cousin hadn't gone to him, how could he have been hurt? Oh yes, Gu Liulang was seriously injured, and my cousin didn't know it, it happened to be yesterday, after my cousin went to find someone. β
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Feng Jiaxian stood up suddenly, his chest heaving.
"I'm not talking nonsense, my cousin can go and inquire about what I said, but it's true." Su Yanshang glanced at Shen Shi, who didn't seem to react yet, and sighed inwardly.
Feng Jiaxian still wants to deny it.
"Look, it's yours."
There are no two identical pianos in the world, this "Luoquan" piano comes from the hands of famous artists, and it is not easy for the Shen family to find it, and you can know whose it is at a glance.
Having no excuse.
"Then I'll listen to Yun Xuan first." Seeing the ceremony, Su Yanshang left Yilan Garden.
"Sister Xian, what the hell is going on? Why did you go to Gu Liulang? Old Madam Feng's eyes were dim.
"Grandmother, that day was just an accident, I was thinking of going to the Teaching Workshop Division to find someone to help, who knew that I happened to meet the sixth son of the Gu family on the road, and I heard that the second master of the Gu family was well versed in the way of chopping the qin, so I ......"
"It's really confusing, no matter how good the Gu family is, Gu Liulang is a well-known gentleman, if you and him spread something, do you want a reputation?" Old Madam Feng hated that iron could not become steel.
Only then did she participate in the flower viewing banquet of the Guogong Mansion, she heard that the Duchess of the Kingdom was very satisfied with Sister Xian'er, maybe she would come to the door soon to propose, if it was rumored that she and Gu Liulang were going to marry at this time, then don't think about marrying into the Guogong Mansion.
"Hey, I think you've been a little tired from learning housekeeping recently, why don't you rest for a while, what do you think?" Old Madam Feng was very unhappy.
Feng Jiaxian gritted her teeth secretly, of course she didn't want to, but she couldn't disobey her grandmother, don't look at her asking for advice, in fact, she doesn't accept refutation.
"Grandmother Xie thinks about her granddaughter." She could only pretend to accept it.
Su Yansheng, who returned to listen to Yunxuan, immediately sent a bell to Yazhuyuan: "Just listen carefully to what Feng Jiaxian said." β
Feng Jiaxian looked enraged, the selfish old lady might take away her power to learn housekeeping, so she might say something she wouldn't normally say and do something she wouldn't normally do.
Sure enough, Feng Jiaxian returned to Yazhuyuan and was furious, smashing a lot of precious porcelain, and while smashing it, he made evil words, and the maids didn't dare to approach.
Finally finished breathing, she instructed the maid: "Bring a letter to the prince and ask him to come back soon." β
Bell stayed in Yazhuyuan for a long time, and when he came back, he recounted everything he heard to Su Yansheng.
"The slave heard the eldest girl say: That mother and daughter, it really doesn't make people worry!"
The meaning is not obvious, this may be angry words, but no one believes it when you say it in anger, right? Bell, you go to Jiangnan. Su Yanshang doesn't like to be served on weekdays, and the bell has always felt that she can't help her master, but now that the master uses her, she is very happy.
Su Yanshang thought about it, prepared pen and ink, and wrote a letter: "You take this letter, pass through Jiangling, go to Sweet Water Street to find a person named Zhao Zhuo, and give him the letter." β
The bell was simply prepared and set off, she was the only person Su Yanshang could trust now, and she was good at light skills, suitable for such an errand. Until she can accumulate a trustworthy manpower, she can only work hard.
At noon the next day, Mrs. Feng called Feng Jiaxian to Yilan Garden, and when Feng Jiaxian arrived, she saw that the Shen family was also inside.
"Grandmother called her granddaughter to explain something?" Feng Jiaxian asked politely.
She knew that her grandmother would soon regain her stewardship powers, no, not in a day.
"Heyβ" Old Madam Feng let out a long sigh.
