Chapter 14: The Castle Calls for Help
When it was dark, the women who went to help in the villa returned to the villa with a full stomach, and although they looked sad, they did not affect their good mood and pulled Yuqing to talk nonsense.
"Master Yuqing Zhuang, Yuanwai Villa is really rich, and we will be called for such a thing in the future." A sister-in-law said while collecting twenty taels of silver.
"Yes, the owner, the cold and uncomfortable outside the villa, there will be such work in the future. We don't want the silver given by Zhuangzi, and it is not easy to give to Zhuangzi. An aunt also said.
"Auntie, you love to listen to what Yuqing says, the villa's affairs of the villa will still be rewarded in the future, and you will not interfere with each other in private, just don't delay the affairs of the villa."
"Miss Yuqing, what you said is sincere, Uncle Niang really obeyed your child. In the future, you don't need so much, three or two or five taels are enough. The family knows that firewood and rice are expensive, and raising children knows the kindness of their parents, and it is difficult for thousands of people to eat in such a big villa, children. ”
"Of course, this time it is the cremation of the souls of the dead, and our owner said that rewarding more silver is also using silver to block bad luck. In the future, I will help to plant a land or something, but I can't do so much every time, and the villa is really not rich. Zhen'er smiled and said to the uncle-level person, and also for everyone.
"I'm still not tired, but I've taken the bounty and I'm going back to sleep. Who's rich these days, I won't necessarily go in the future. The mean Seventh Uncle Niang picked up the silver and said, of course, no one paid attention to her, after all, no one would like such a mean character.
In the end, these seven aunts, eight aunts and sisters-in-law of the same generation left, and Yuqing and Ye Xuanzhen'er made an appointment for tomorrow and went back to their respective courtyards. Although the soul is stable and really comes back to life, after all, she is old and her body is still very weak, but there is no problem in solving Ye Jing and Ye Wen's meal. Yuqing walked into the courtyard and smelled the familiar aroma of food, sniffed hard, and walked into the house with a smile on his face.
"Sister, you're finally back, Grandma has been talking to you for a long time, is there too much going on in the villa, are you tired?" Ye Jing said happily, and Ye Wen also smiled and spit out a few words.
"Sister, hug."
"Qing'er, you hurry up and eat, Ye Wen and I'll hug you." Grandma looked at Yuqing dotingly and said, although there were only a few old and young people left in the family, Yuqing also felt a strong family affection.
"Mama, I'll hold my brother for a while, and then I'll eat. Mama, you have to go and buy a few more people to come back, you can also be more relaxed. ”
"Don't mind, this time the disaster doesn't have much money in the family, save some flowers, it's better for you to be the owner of the village now."
"Mama, when it comes to silver, I have it, you can take the fifty taels for the family first. You need to make up for your physical weakness, and your two younger brothers are still young and need nutrition. When my aunt and uncle were alive, we could be regarded as a well-off family, but we couldn't wronged our two younger brothers. ”
"Yuqing, when your aunt was alive, there was a grocery store on the edge of the imperial city, and now I want you to take care of it. That's the source of our family's life, and it's about to be the New Year, and you should get to know the shopkeeper over there. ”
"Mama, Yuqing is afraid that he doesn't have time, the grocery store is still handed over to Ye Jing, he is also nine years old after the New Year, and it is not too young to learn to do business. After all, these will be handed over to the two younger brothers. ”
"Yuqing, it makes sense for you to think so, Jing'er, you go with your sister, and you are familiar with the shopkeeper. Alas, his son was originally also a steward in the Sixth Courtyard, but this time he was not spared and died in the palace. If only we had money in our hands, it would be good for the master and servant to express themselves. ”
"Mama, Yuqing thinks of a way to deal with the silver, and Yuqing will definitely be able to make you live a good life." Yuqing put down Ye Wen and said while eating, feeling a lot of pressure in his heart.
"Yuqing, when Mama is free, I will tell you about your father and mother in detail. Now the court is a little chaotic, and when they are smoothed out, they should do things with our people, you have already recorded it in your aunt's name, if it is really time for someone to find trouble, you will say that it is your aunt's illegitimate daughter. Seeing that Ye Jing and Ye Wen were asleep, Mama Grandma lowered her voice and said to Yuqing what she had come up with.
"Mama, thank you for your protection back then, for today's aunt and uncle spent five thousand taels of silver to bury an identity for me. Mama's guardianship Yuqing will always remember in her heart, and Yuqing can only repay her two younger brothers for her aunt's kindness. ”
"Good boy, how nice it would be if your father and mother were still alive!"
"Mama, there will always be answers to these things in the future."
The next day, the five-person team of the villa sat together to discuss the affairs of the villa, and Yuqing and Ye Xuanzhen'er talked about the accounts of the villa, which was the first major matter to be solved.
"Ye Xuan, you and Zhen'er are responsible for the income of the villa, and the other is responsible for the expenses. The two of you will be the heads of the villa in the future, and the accounts must be clear. ”
"My mother has taught me to be in charge, don't worry, every penny you spend, Zhen'er will remember it clearly."
"Owner, you can rest assured, Ye Xuan will watch every income closely, and will never spend money indiscriminately."
"Children, the old man has a proposal, the cost of more than 100 taels of silver must be approved by the owner, and the five of us will decide together if it exceeds 1,000 taels." Lao Langzhong also hurriedly said.
"That's good, in the past, when we were in charge of the big house, when the money was tight, you old owners had to move it from our own yard, and now you three girls are in charge, so you can save it. Otherwise, it will involve your respective yards, and I'm afraid it will be a mess. The old farmer's wife also said.
"Old lady, Master Langzhong, if we really encounter this kind of extreme difficulty, we will borrow money from the villagers, and we will pay interest according to the standard of the money bank, so as to ensure that it will not be a foolish account." Yuqing hurriedly made a statement.
"Master Yuqing, someone from Yanwai Castle came to the old imperial doctor to see the disease." A few people were about to say something else, but the old man guarding the gate of the villa called outside.
"Go and tell the people who came that the old imperial doctor has died a long time ago, and now there is only Lao Langzhong." The old man's face changed slightly.
"Master, you also served as an imperial doctor?"
"Don't talk about decades ago. Except for those rabbit cubs in Yanwai Castle, if anyone else dares to face the old imperial doctor in front of the old man, I will be anxious with him. ”
"Master don't be angry, apprentice won't talk about it in the future." Yuqing hurriedly promised.
"Yuqing, don't listen to your master, he hasn't gotten along yet, I'll tell you about this matter in the future, Lao Langzhong, it's not okay if you don't go this time, Yanwai Castle is a side branch of the royal family surnamed Yan, and the current new emperor is afraid of the existence of a little bit. For the sake of our villa, you just have to take a trip. ”
"Alas, people have to bow their heads under the low eaves. Call someone to wait, I'll go get the medicine box. The old man sighed and said.
"Master, the apprentice will go with you, if it is really an incurable disease, the apprentice may be able to help."
"It's okay, now it's your turn to give the master a boost."
The Yan clan side branch of Yanwai Castle is richer than other Zhuangzi, this is the people's positioning of them, and when Yuqing helped Lao Langzhong out of the Qi Villa and saw the carriage they sent, he had a more intuitive understanding. The antique carriage is beautifully decorated, not only the carriage is brightly colored and rich silk, but also the carriage is pulled by two tall horses, and the silver bells are hung around the horses' necks. No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel like they have been thundered by the nouveau riche, and the person who came to deliver the letter was a little housekeeper, although he was small, he was also forty years old, and Yuqing calculated in his heart that this little finger was the position ranking. The driver was also dressed delicately and brightly, looking like a master from a yard. Standing in front of the people's carriage, Yuqing was in a trance, a side branch of the ancient castle people are like this, so the real royal family surnamed Yan is not going to blind the eyes of the people.
The little housekeeper and the handlebar type were also stunned for a moment when they saw Yuqing who helped the old imperial doctor come out, and the little housekeeper smiled and teased a little improperly.
"Old Imperial Doctor, although you little girl ring looks cute elf, you don't have to take it with you at any time, there is no shortage of beautiful girls in our ancient castle, arrange one for the old imperial doctor when you get there, and you can take it back to Zhuangzi to enjoy it at any time if you like."
"What kind of stinky fart, your Yan family doesn't have a few good birds, this is my apprentice, our villa is not as dirty as your castle." Before he got into the carriage, Lao Langzhong was angry and his face was red and his neck was thick.
"Hey, old imperial doctor, what kind of anger are you, those who don't know are not guilty, you have recognized the new apprentice, haven't we gotten the news yet." The little butler of the castle was scolded and explained without annoyance, and he looked like a ruffian.
"Message? Your spies are not very good. What kind of newly accepted apprentice, the closed disciple of my old man has been true for several years. Just at your face, the old man of the castle is not going, you can ask for another master. Apprentice, help the master go back. The old man said without moving.
"Master, you can't be angry now, it's good to be bitten and kicked back by a dog, but you still have to bite a dog. What kind of bad people have we doctors never seen, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, hasn't our mountain villa always adhered to this concept, so that it can continue to grow. Yuqing laughed in his heart, and persuaded Lao Langzhong while giving him relief.
"Apprentice, you are kind-hearted, forget it, the master will take you to Yanwai Castle, and the right is to accumulate virtue for yourself." Lao Langzhong was also angry with the other party, and said along with Yuqing's words.
"Oh, old imperial doctor, this female disciple of yours who is closed is really sharp-toothed, and she scolds people around the corner."
"Shut up! The old imperial doctor has long since died, and now there is only Lao Langzhong. ”
"Be fair, we don't like to be called Yanwai Castle." As he spoke, Yuqing helped the master to the carriage of the castle, and the little butler walked on the ground without getting into the car and quarreled with the old man.
"I don't like to hear or see you change your name, and it's not because of the big tree surnamed Yan to enjoy the shade."
"That's our ancestors' stubbornness, it's like you even changed your family's surname."
"If you talk nonsense again, we really won't go to this castle."
"Don't, if you don't go, how can I explain to the owner of the Double Eagle Village, Lao Langzhong, you just treat me as a fart, and it's not easy for a poor and small person to be an errand. I'm slapping my mouth, you still have to go to the ancient castle, the matter of hundreds of people's lives, except for you, you can't find a master outside the imperial city. The little butler outside said and slapped the carriage.
"Little rabbit, this is pretty much the same, don't shoot it, slap the horse again, I can't go if I want to."
"Little butler, you said that it was a matter of hundreds of people's lives, didn't you ask my master to go over to see someone, is it that many people in the ancient castle have a disease?" During the interval between their bickering, Yuqing asked.
"What do you call the girl, there are many people in the ancient castle who have a disease, and our imperial doctor is helpless, so I came to invite your master, the holy hand of the imperial doctor."
"Lang Zhong! She is the old man's apprentice and the new owner of the village, Miss Yuqing. Lao Langzhong sat in the carriage and corrected.
"Yes! Lao Langzhong, you will know the specific details when you get to the ancient castle. The little one doesn't know very well, the two of you and our castle live next to each other with a strip of water, even if people are not close, they are not close to each other. We are not fighting for life-saving events, the handlebar style is a little faster, and the owner of the Double Eagle Farm is going to be in a hurry. The owner of the village is here, this is not a civil matter, and you have to report to the owner of the castle when you go back. ”
The carriage slowly accelerated, and it ran for an extra hour, which showed that the distance between the lodge and the castle was still quite long.
