Chapter 30 Paying with one hand and delivering with the other
"What the hell are you talking about out there? How did it become our divorce?
Now it's spread outside, saying that we forced a weak woman to go back to Yangzhou alone, do you still want to show Wei Tingxiang someone now?"
Wei Yu listened to the doubts at the banquet at Master Cao's house, and when he came back, he hurriedly came to his wife to ask for clarification.
Jiaojiao has only been gone for a few days, and all the rumors have come out, which is simply not like words.
Zhan also went to the banquet at Lord Cao's house today, but she came back earlier than her husband and was checking the account books at this time.
was questioned by her husband, and Zhan took the account book and sighed first.
"I know that the master feels sorry for his niece, but why doesn't the master feel sorry for your own son?
Isn't Ting'er heavier than Jiaojiao in the master's heart?
The lord asked me what was going on, and I wouldn't hide it from him.
The divorce has become a fact, and it can't be changed, what does it matter who divorces whose marriage?
What is important is the reputation of our family and the reputation of our family. ”
Speaking of this, Zhan stopped and looked up at the master.
She was looking at the old man's reaction, and the look was also making the old man think about the meaning of her words, and she paused before she continued.
"In fact, the master doesn't have to worry too much, he is in a hurry to hug Jiaojiao's grievances.
I didn't say that we quit Jiaojiao's marriage, nor did I say that I quit the marriage, when others asked, I just mentioned that Jiaojiao went out to be a guest for a long time, and I went back when I was homesick.
It is said that Jiaojiao was seen by too many people when she left that day, and there was some gossip outside.
Jiaojiao is gone, she is far away in Yangzhou City, and she will definitely bring her husband's family as a guest in the future, what impact does the rumors have on her?
After a few months, when our Ting'er becomes a family, who will remember any rumors?
Didn't Jiaojiao make it clear when she left, she just came to visit her uncle's house, and I just said it to outsiders like this.
As for the matter of discussing marriage to Ting'er, others casually mentioned it, and I also said it casually.
Ting'er is indeed the time to start a family at this age, and it is normal for someone to mention it. ”
Zhan said these words in a plain and ordinary tone, just like an ordinary couple sitting together to discuss their children's intentions.
As for anyone else, it's just an outsider who she casually mentions and doesn't care about putting it down at all.
Wei Yu felt sorry for his niece in his heart, and he was depressed all the way back.
But when his wife asked him whether his niece was more important, his own son, or their Wei family's reputation was more important, he naturally understood which one was lighter and which one was heavier.
What the wife said also makes sense, the nieces are gone, and they are the ones who stay in Yecheng who have to face the message.
Although the son has done something wrong, the future of the son is more important, and the future of their Wei family is more important.
After a while, Wei Yu told Zhan, "Let's wait until after the scientific expedition, so as not to distract Ting'er again." ”
After the admonition, he left the main courtyard again, although he accepted his wife's words, but he still did not feel very well, and he did not want to see her for the time being.
Looking at the back of her husband coming and going, Zhan laughed silently.
He can go wherever he likes, what else can't she get used to over the years?
Now for her, her son's future is more important than anything else.
He kept saying that he was thinking about his son, didn't he want Wei Yan to curry favor with Ruan Jiaojiao, when he didn't know what he had in mind with the slut of Begonia Garden?
Zhan was relieved of himself, and closed his eyes for a long time before opening them again.
None of that matters, as long as his son is out, not all of this family will live by the faces of their mother and son.
In a simple courtyard in the east of the city, Yang Chun'er rented a place to live.
She still has silver money on her, which she got in exchange for all the jewelry on her head.
I have a place to live for the time being, but I still have to find a way to eat three meals a day.
She didn't dare to go out and move around more, for fear of being discovered by the people of the Wei Mansion.
Mrs. Wei wanted someone to sell her far away, and she could never return to Yecheng.
Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted person who rescued her from the hands of Ren Yazi and released her, otherwise she would never have had the chance to see Wei Lang again.
She asked the landlord and grandmother that she could do the odd jobs of embroidery and pulp washing in the neighborhood, so that she could earn some loose silver to cope temporarily.
When she finds a chance to meet Wei Lang, everything will be fine.
On the boat, Wei Yan was so painful that he was humming on the bed, he thought about people when he went out, he only brought all his net worth, and he really didn't think about bringing some medicine for bruises, so he didn't think that he would be injured.
Chang Shun didn't bring them with them, so he had no choice but to go to the captain to beg his father to tell his grandmother.
When Captain Hong heard that he had come to ask for medicine, he immediately readily agreed.
"I have medicine, but it's just the medicine used by us inferior people, I'm afraid that Young Master Jin Gui won't look down on it."
"No, no, Captain Hong, you really like to joke, the medicine used for people is the same, not those heads.
Heck, thanks to you, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do.
When I get to the next port, I'll buy it and give it back to you, hehe......"
In fact, it is reasonable for Chang Shun to say this, but this is on the ship, and Captain Hong does not accept his method.
"The medicine can be given to you, but I don't want you to return it.
However, you get what you pay for, and you pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other.
A bottle of medicine for bruises, twenty taels of silver. ”
When the price was quoted, Captain Hong only glanced at Chang Shun lightly, as if the price he said was very reasonable.
"Shhh...... Captain Hong, look at this, isn't it too expensive? Why don't you think again? ”
It's not that he hasn't bought this kind of medicine, usually it's only one or two taels of silver in the pharmacy, but he asked for twenty taels when he opened his mouth, which has multiplied twenty times, what is the difference between it and Ming Bao.
But now he is begging for help, and he does not dare to say it explicitly.
Since Captain Hong proposed it, there was no room for negotiation, and he was not used to him, "Too expensive?" Then please leave and don't send it.
What should you be to heal the sick and save people? ”
Where does Chang Shun dare to go, the master is still waiting for medicine.
can only be accompanied by smiling words and good words, "Or, you can see that we will discuss and discuss."
We have all kinds of good ingredients there, can you change them?
I bought them when I got on the boat, but they were very fresh. ”
Even if they buy too much, they can't eat it all, and the expensive ones are not for them to eat, and if they are broken, they will be even more wasteful.
"Humph! It's better to ask elsewhere as soon as possible, I'm still busy, so I won't greet you much.
We've given you a life-saving medicine, so we won't have to use it. ”
Seeing that Captain Hong didn't retreat even half a step, where could Chang Shun still have a way, he thought about it again and again, and could only grit his teeth and agree.
The medicine arrived, but only half a bottle.
He shook it and opened it to see that it was only half a bottle.
"Captain Hong, why do we only have half a bottle of medicine that we said we said?"
