Chapter 8 Rivals in Love Speak Harshly
Dong Xia didn't think about this, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter, it's good that you and Brother Ye make it clear, so that you won't get into trouble with Brother Ye for this little thing." ”
Ming Lanying waved her hand indifferently, "I know, don't worry." ”
Ming Lanying didn't think that this incident would have any impact on her, Song Shanshan suddenly wanted to return to Beijing, maybe something was wrong, and Ye Jielu probably knew that something was wrong, so she was lukewarm to her in the past few days, and it is estimated that the matter is quite big.
However, to put it mildly, this matter has nothing to do with her, and it will not affect the future she is planning, so she just pretends not to know.
But she didn't expect Song Shanshan to want to see her, she always had a bad premonition.
As soon as Song Jun came to the door to invite her, Ming Lanying refused very unceremoniously, "I don't have any friendship with her, so I won't see her for the last time, right?" lest she be discouraged, and I will be discouraged. ”
Song Junyi couldn't believe it, "Shanshan is already like this, what if I just want to say a few words to you?" How can you do this! ”
Ming Lanying plucked her ears, "Are you sure?" If you're not afraid that she will be angry with me and return to the West early, I'll listen to what she can say. ”
Ye Jielu didn't go to the blacksmith shop today, and just finished cleaning up the duck manure at the moment, "Since she doesn't want to go, forget it." ”
"Who says I'm not going?" Ming Lanying suddenly rebelled, and wanted to go and see what other moths could be, "Don't lead the way?" ”
Ye Jielu shook his head at Song Junyi quietly, Song Junyi endured his anger and led the way in front, Ning'er wanted to follow her, but was stopped by Ming Lanying, "You and your father are at home, it's unlucky there, and children can't go." ”
Ning Er obediently waited for her at home, and Ming Lanying followed Song Junyi for a quarter of an hour before arriving at the magnificent Song family, the small courtyard of the two entrances, which is considered a big family here. Although Song Shanshan's boudoir is simply furnished, it is very carefully arranged, with elegant curtains and flowers in vases, and half-dry words on the bookcase.
Song Shanshan was half-leaning on the bed, covering her face with a veil, but there was no weakness in her eyes, I have to say that Imperial Doctor Zhao's medicine is really good.
Ming Lanying sat on a stool far away from the bed, crossed Erlang's legs, and didn't even bother to laugh, "Tell me something, I'm very busy." ”
Song Shanshan looked at her with a determined look in her eyes, "You must know how my body is." ”
Ming Lanying clasped her fingertips and looked at her hands casually, "Really?" So what? ”
Song Shanshan said coldly: "It doesn't matter if you know it or not, what I want to tell you is that even if I return to Beijing, I will not give up on Brother Ye." ”
Ming Lanying chuckled, "I have seen that people are invincible in the world, and I think others will say that you are infatuated and affectionate?" Everyone with brains knows that you are stinky and shameless, staring at other people's men every day, and everyone is still beautiful? Why do you want to be a concubine so much? ”
"You!"
"It's a pity that you have to go back, and I can't see you Brother Ye, I also want to fulfill you, but your Brother Ye doesn't agree, I can't help it~"
Song Shanshan clutched the sheets tightly with both hands, green tendons faintly burst out on the back of her white hands, and her apricot eyes were red and glaring at her angrily.
"Yo~ Are you angry? Didn't you think that your big brother Ye didn't mean anything to you? Tut-tut-tsk - really put gold on your face, after so many years, your brother Ye would have married you a long time ago if he was interested in you, otherwise how could I have my current position? Ming Lanying looked at her with a smile, "Even if you are a cheap concubine, I won't drink your tea, I'm disgusting." ”
Song Shanshan glared at her angrily, "Ming Lanying! You wait for me, you just gave birth to a mute son, and Brother Ye kept you for the sake of his son! Sooner or later, I'll leave you dead without a corpse! ”
Ming Lanying stopped smiling, her eyebrows and eyes turned cold, and she looked a little cold and arrogant, "Then I'll wait, but there are some things to tell you in advance, if I have an accident, it will be impossible for your Brother Ye to live alone." ”
will be pulled by her to die together.
Song Shanshan glared at her viciously and panted, eager to break her body into pieces now, Ming Lanying was too lazy to listen to her nonsense, patted her ass and left.
Leaving the Song family, she hurriedly went to find Dongxia, panicked, as if she had been stained with dirty things.
"Winter summer, winter summer! Hurry up and show me, whether Song Shanshan poisoned me or not, she bluntly said that she wanted me to die without a corpse, which scared me to death! ”
Dongxia couldn't cry or laugh, but she still felt her pulse and checked it, "Sister-in-law, you think too much, how can she have such a powerful poison." ”
"That's not easy to say, she bluntly said that she wanted me to die without a whole body, this woman is really crazy for Ye Juelu."
Dong Xia believed her words, frowning in disbelief, "Did she really say that?" Sister-in-law, you should be careful with her in the future. ”
"Of course." Ming Lanying checked her arms and legs left and right, "You can see if I have anything dirty on me, I've been in her house for so long, don't get something that shouldn't be touched and bring it back, it's too unlucky." ”
Dong Xia pinched her waist and screamed in surprise, Ming Lanying was startled, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Really? ”
"Yes! Sister-in-law, you've lost a lot of weight! ”
The corners of Dongxia's mouth smiled, and she pulled her wide hem to tighten it, her clothes didn't fit well, and the loose and loose flesh covering was covering the meat, but it looked a little lazy.
Ming Lanying pinched her faintly curved waist, she has a large base, and it is actually very fast to lose weight, coupled with her ruthlessness, the effect of this time is also obvious, "It's not in vain that I have been fasting and exercising for so long, but I am still fat, and if I lose weight at my current rate, it should be half a year younger." ”
The topic of the two immediately shifted to weight loss and body shaping, and Imperial Doctor Zhao, who was sitting in the courtyard listening to the two of them, suddenly coughed, and the movement was quite big.
Dong Xia poked his head out suspiciously, "Grandfather? ”
Imperial Physician Zhao said unhurriedly: "Those who are wet from the inside, they must be overly anointed with liquor, or drink too much tea and soup, or eat raw and cold melons and fruits and sweet and greasy things...... Its color is white and fat, the muscles are soft, and this place is cold and dry, eating more meat and meat, good and quiet and evil if you eat too much fat and sweet, and neglect to work and exercise, or sit and lie down for a long time, so that the essence in the body can not be consumed, and it will accumulate into fat over time, and the treatment method should always distinguish its physique yin and yang. ”
Ming Lanying also poked her head out, but she didn't understand a word, but Dong Xia's eyes lit up, "Grandfather, you have a way to make Ming Niangzi slim down!" ”
Dong Xia's resolute words made Ming Lanying stunned, and Imperial Doctor Zhao stroked his goatee, "What's so difficult about this?" She has already controlled her mouth, and she is also active, plus acupuncture cupping and decoction conditioning, she gets twice the result with half the effort. ”
Ming Lanying was stunned, can it still be like this?!
Dong Xia shook Ming Lanying's arm excitedly, "Grandfather, you teach me, I'll help my sister-in-law try it another day!" ”
Ming Lanying raised her hands in agreement, "Okay, good!" Hurry up and learn in winter and summer, and I'll go back and make boiled fish fillets, fried potato sticks, fried crispy meat, and steamed pastries as a thank you gift! ”
Imperial Physician Zhao snorted, "Flattery." ”
Ming Lanying rubbed her hands with a smile, "You don't move the old man, I lost weight for Ye Juelu's goodness, and the beauty of the lady is also the confidence of a man outside." ”
Imperial Physician Zhao's eyes widened, "Nonsense, cheeky, don't bring bad winter and summer!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Ming Lanying smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I'll fry a few taels of peanuts for you when I go back, make two cold dishes, and give you wine." ”
Dong Xia also smiled, "Grandfather, how long will it take for my sister-in-law to lose weight?" ”
"Don't be too fast, hurt your body." Imperial Physician Zhao twisted his beard and said slowly: "Keep your mouth shut and practice in moderation, two months is the best." ”
Ming Lanying was very happy, faster than she expected, "Sure enough, it is the Holy Hand of Xinglin, and the medical skills are excellent, it all depends on you!" ”
Imperial Physician Zhao scolded with a smile, "Look at this point, women can't always be lustful, love for love, love for love, love for love, you have to think more about yourself." ”
Ming Lanying nodded obediently, "I know, I know, but it is human nature to love beauty, don't worry, I have a spectrum in my heart." ”
Imperial Physician Zhao sighed helplessly, as if regretful and powerless.
After Ming Lanying returned home, she found that Ye Jielu was still teaching Ning'er to read at home, as if she had something to discuss with her.
"Don't you have to go to the blacksmith today?"
"Hmm." Ye Jielu rubbed Ning'er's head and asked him to feed the lamb and chicken, "I have something to tell you." ”
"Say it." Ming Lanying drank a sip of water, and took out a crockpot to count the money, this is her little hobby, counting money makes people happy.
Ye Jielu looked at the silver and silver tickets on the table, hesitated for a moment, took out his money bag and put it on the table together, "I want to buy a house for Mrs. Zhao and his wife." ”
"Imperial Doctor Zhao is also receiving treatment now, and Dong Xia said that he also saved some silver." It's not that Ming Lanying hasn't thought about it, but according to Imperial Doctor Zhao's arrogance and winter and summer's psychology, it doesn't seem to respect them very much, so she is thinking of other ways.
"I know, but winter is coming soon, and this year it's bitterly cold, longer and colder."
Ming Lanying curiously took his money bag and counted it, he didn't spend it last time, and there were two more money, I think he saved it.
Ming Lanying didn't speak, and put ten taels of silver into his money bag, "A total of more than twenty taels, I suggest that it is better to help them renovate the house, one is that our new house is next to them, it is close, and the other is to renovate to save money, they don't have to move so troublesomely, and it is easy to accept, it is best for you to help them renovate in person." ”
Twenty taels can buy a new one, but Ming Lanying is thoughtful, the materials are the best, the twenty taels are completely renovated, and the furniture can be made two more sets, Ye Jielu silently accepted the money bag.
"Thank you."
Ming Lanying looked at him playfully, "Is the soft rice delicious?" ”
Ye Juelu: "......" had to bow his head.
"If you have enough money in your hand, if you renovate it, you can do it once and for all, turn it a little better, and the materials are selected and strong." Ming Lanying counted the remaining silver, and when she put it away and put it in the clay pot, she found a cloth bag in the corner of the wall.
I took it out and saw that it was the jewelry she had hidden before, and I almost forgot it, it was estimated that it was less than eight taels of silver, but it was useless to keep it, Ming Lanying couldn't look down on it now, so she still took it as one, handed the cloth bag to Ye Jielu, and gave another five taels of broken silver.
"Tomorrow I will secretly take it as a house, and by the way, I will customize a set of furniture for my own family, which should be complete, a little better wood, and a smooth point of polishing and send it to the new house, and then buy three new sets of bedding or something, and send them there together. There is also a wooden box, I can hide the silver with peace of mind, the crockpot is not solid, so this is the case first. ”
"It's your dowry."
"Oh, I know."
Making money is used to spend, and it can still be earned when it is spent, Ming Lanying is a very material person, likes money, and likes to spend money. Ming Lanying doesn't care about this thing, anyway, the original body also wanted to be the exchange fee for this thing before, and it is not much different from her now as a change of living expenses.
"By the way, go to the new house to check, I saw it last time and felt that there was a bathroom missing, you go back and find a few people to build one next to the kitchen, the yard is big enough, build a bigger and more spacious one, and the money is enough."
Ye Jielu pinched the small cloth bag, Ming Lanying had already made the decision, and he couldn't stop it, and subconsciously wanted to buy it better to repay her in the future.
returned five taels of broken silver to her, and it didn't take twenty taels to renovate the custom furniture of the old house, and more than twenty taels in his hand were enough to have more than enough. He hadn't seen the new house yet, he only knew the location, and the deed said that the area was quite large, so he just stopped by to see it, and went out with a cloth bag and a money bag.
"Got it, I'll go to the craftsman to discuss the renovation, Imperial Doctor Zhao needs you to talk about it."
"Yes."
This is probably what it is like to live together, with a clear division of labor and mutual help, but the friendship is not deep.
Ming Lanying originally wanted to look for Dongxia tomorrow afternoon, but she didn't expect that people would come early in the morning with an ancestral medicine box.
"Sister-in-law! Grandfather taught me a day yesterday, and I'll help you as soon as I become proficient! ”
"So fast? Winter and summer are amazing! ”
Dong Xia was excited and a little hesitant, "Sister-in-law, do you dare to let me get a needle?" I've only tried it on a bronze man, I haven't pricked it on a human yet. ”
"What don't you dare, we are so powerful in winter and summer, of course I don't worry, I just have something to tell you."
Ming Lanying just made a basket of sugar gourds, and the hawthorn spent a huge amount of money of 200 Wen to buy a small basket from the shopkeeper Li to make a small string of sugar gourds, which are crystal and lovely. gave Dongxia a fresh taste, stuffed a small handful for Ning'er, and asked him to put the lamb around to play for a while, "Go, don't run far." ”
Ning Er nodded obediently, Ming Lanying grabbed a handful of chaff from the corner of the wall and scattered it on the ground, and a little sparrow fluttered its wings and pecked at it. Ma San monitored Granny Feng for her, but there was a thin Ma Liu, Ming Lanying glanced at Ma Yi, Ma Yi understood that the task was coming, and after she was full, she took a little sparrow to help her watch the child.
"Sister-in-law, lie on her stomach, the acupuncture points to be pierced today are behind the back, they are all women, don't be shy, I won't see more."
Ming Lanying pinched her slender waist funny, "I'm afraid you'll be shy, and I'm not good looking at a lump of fat, so don't worry." ”
Dong Xia closed the door, laid out the needle, set up the moxa pillar and the fire pot, lit a candle to burn the mugwort, pinched the needle with one hand and walked on her back with the other hand to touch the acupuncture points, and stopped to rest after a pillar of incense.
Dong Xia breathed a sigh of relief, "My sister-in-law's skin is delicate and her skeleton is well-proportioned, she must look good when she loses weight." ”
Ming Lanying endured the pain and inhaled, and smiled reluctantly when she heard Dong Xia's words, Dong Xia found a layer of fine sweat on her head and was startled.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you! Uncomfortable? Oh, I'll withdraw it for you! ”
"No, no need...... Ming Lanying was a little weak in pain, and raised her hand weakly, "It's okay, it's my own fear of pain, it's not a big problem, wait for me to slow down, I have something to tell you." ”
Dong Xia observed suspiciously for a while, and waited for Ming Lanying to relieve the pain before believing that she was fine.
"This acupuncture, cupping, moxa and moxa smoke don't hurt much, isn't it? Sister-in-law, why do you hurt like this? Is there a hidden disease? I'll ask my grandfather to take a closer look at you? ”
"It's okay, it's just that I'm more afraid of pain, and the problem I brought since I was a child is not a big deal." Ming Lanying couldn't move on her stomach, so she could only hold her down with her hands, "It just so happens that I have something to tell you, you sit down and listen." ”
"Okay."
Dongxia carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead, and Ming Lanying frowned slightly in pain, but it didn't affect her speech.
"I heard that this year will be a harsh winter, I also used some jewelry during this time, sold duck eggs to save some savings, and bought the house closest to your family, and we will be neighbors in the future." Ming Lanying gently squeezed Dong Xia's hand, "But I don't worry about you and your grandfather, I know that you two are stubborn, so I asked Ye Jielu to discuss renovating your home without a few dollars." ”
Dong Xia was not happy that the two families had become new neighbors, so he was anxious by the words behind, "How can this work, sister-in-law, my grandfather and I have also saved some money these days, we can figure out our own way, we can't trouble you and Brother Ye anymore-"
Ming Lanying smiled expectedly, "Why not?" You call me sister-in-law, sister-in-law is sorry for you? Besides, it's not for nothing, aren't you trying to help me lose weight? Two months of acupuncture and cupping, which is much more valuable than renovating an old house! ”
"Besides, it's useless for you to refuse now, I've already asked Ye Jielu to cut first and then play, rest assured."
Dong Xia also knew that they were for the good of her grandfather, and she couldn't say enough about the gratitude in her heart, so she held back her eyes, "Sister-in-law, you are so good to me, how can I, how can I repay you......"
"Hey, stupid girl, what is there to repay or not, aren't you helping me now? You're going to help me lose weight! That's a big deal! ”
Dong Xia rubbed his eyes and said seriously: "Sister-in-law, don't worry! I will definitely make you thin and beautiful! ”
Ming Lanying smiled, "Okay, okay, it's all handed over to you, after a while, I will pick a good day and move over, you help me make acupuncture and cupping and make decoction, and I will make delicious food for you every day." ”
"Hmm!"
Ye Jielu, who was at the door, heard the sound of winter and summer in the house, and the hand that was about to push the door suddenly stopped and knocked on the door instead.
Dong Xia was wondering who it was, Ye Jielu opened his mouth and said, Ming Lanying thought that he should come back to get something, and asked Dong Xia to open the door and ask, but don't let it in.
Dong Xia felt that it should be okay if the two were husband and wife, but it was still not good to be honest with each other in broad daylight, so he went over and drilled out.
"Brother Ye, are you going to take something?"
"Hmm." Ye Jielu looked at the closed door, "What are you doing?" ”
"I'm giving my sister-in-law acupuncture conditioning, what does Brother Ye want, I'll help you get it."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter."
Ye Juelu seemed to be leaving, and the ghost envoy of winter and summer said in a bad way: "Brother Ye, Song Shanshan is going back to Beijing, you can live a good life with your sister-in-law in the future, your sister-in-law is very good, Song Shanshan is not suitable for you." ”
Ye Jielu glanced at her suspiciously, "I know." ”
