CHAPTER XXVII

At night, the wind picked up in the small courtyard

The door of the pharmacy had been closed, and the lanterns in the courtyard were lit up.

Yinzheng asked Du Changqing for a few old lanterns, wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and hung them under the eaves at the four corners of the courtyard.

The moonlight is like silver, reflecting the small courtyard brightly, and in front of the stone table in the middle of the small courtyard, there is a lamp.

Lu Tong sat at the stone table, pounding medicine unhurriedly.

The medicine is filled with a silver jar, the surface of which is engraved with treasure and branches, and the decoration is delicate and intricate. The hammer used to pound the medicine was also silver, and it fell into the jar with a crisp clatter in the night.

Yin Zheng came out of the house, holding a few newly made silk flowers in his hand, and reached out to Lu Tong's sideburns and gestured: "Girl, I have made a few new silk flowers, you can try them." Last time, the blue velvet flower was soaked in blood, and it couldn't be washed off and couldn't be used anymore. I have changed these two to a new style, and they look good in keeping. ”

Lu Tong's eyes fell on the flowers in her hand, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

She is not good at dressing up, after all, she stays in the mountains all year round and doesn't see anyone. Occasionally, during the New Year's Festival, Yun Niang would suddenly rise up and go down the mountain to buy her a few clothes, and when those clothes really didn't fit, she would wait for the next new clothes.

The last time Yun Niang bought her new clothes was a year ago, and not long after that, Yun Niang died.

She only had a few pieces of her own clothes, and even less jewelry. However, Yinzheng was skillful, and always picked a handkerchief of the same color and sewed silk flowers and velvet flowers, so as to teach her to wear a dress.

Lu Tong kept pounding the medicine in his hand, and only said, "Actually, I don't need these." ”

"Why don't you need it?" Yin Zheng gestured to himself, and said: "At your age, it's time to dress up. If you dress plainly, you will not waste this face in vain. These silk flower materials can be made with only a few pennies of handkerchief, but they can add a lot of color to the girl. ”

"Girl, trust my craft." Yin Zheng took the silk flower back from Lu Tong's sideburns, and carefully adjusted the needle and thread, "Originally, I was in the building, I didn't dare to say anything else, I was proficient in dressing up and combing my hair." Waiting for the shopkeeper Du to send a monthly gift, the girl can go to pull a few feet of light yarn, and in a few months it will be summer, and she has to make two light summer shirts. ”

Lu Tong smiled lightly.

As Yin Zheng spoke, he remembered one more thing, and looked at the girl who was seriously pounding medicine under the moonlight: "I heard the tailor next door say that Xinglin Hall has reopened today." The white shopkeeper took the initiative to apologize to the people who bought the medicine, lost a lot of silver, and promised not to sell Chunyangsheng again in the future. When the people had received the money, they ceased to make trouble, and they thought that the matter would gradually settle down. ”

Lu Tong said: "Money can make ghosts grind." Bai Shouyi chose to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and he is a smart person. ”

Yin Zheng looked at Lu Tong's face, and was a little worried: "However, they suffered a loss this time, so they won't hold a grudge against us because of this, right?" ”

Lu Tong didn't raise his head, and pounded the jar of Chinese herbs hard: "What about holding grudges?" If I want to be famous, I will inevitably offend my peers. Renxin Medical Center is not outstanding, and if you want to stand out, you can only step on the signboards of other medical centers. ”

"Yes." Yin Zheng sighed, and soon smiled again: "Don't care what you say, Xinglintang will have to stop for a while now, and our medical hall will also be famous." At least the girl's prescription can't be made by others, and now the shopkeeper Du can't wait to offer the girl, and the girl is doing it steadily in the position of the doctor in the hall. ”

Lu Tong smiled: "Yes." ”

Now that she is a serious doctor, Renxin Medical Center has gradually gained some confidence, and next, it is time to think about the Ke family.

Ke Jia......

Thinking of the Ke family, Lu Tong's eyes darkened.

Speaking of which, the current Ke family should have received the news of "Wang Yingying".

……

In Shengjing Ke's Mansion, Mrs. Ke was eating a box of fragrant candy.

Honey cakes, sugar cheese, and candied fruit are packed in a palm-sized mahogany box, and the lattices are divided inside, each with its own taste.

Mrs. Ke is old, she likes to eat sweetly and rottenly, she has to eat a lot of sugar a day, the doctor advised Ying to avoid being too sweet, not to eat by her, Uncle Ke persuades non-stop on weekdays, but unfortunately Mrs. Ke does not listen, still sweet as life.

Mrs. Ke sat on the chair with Huanghuali openwork Luan pattern roses, her eyes slightly closed. Mama Li thumped her shoulders behind her, and talked to her without a pair.

"Old lady, the old slave heard Biqing in the uncle's room at noon that the eldest grandmother quarreled with the uncle again because of the silver."

Old Madam Ke frowned, opened her eyes, her face sank, and she scolded: "This Qin family is too, relying on his own official Laozi, to be powerful and good at home." Managing a man's money so tightly, I added a few letters of silver to Xing'er a few days ago, turned her head and saw it, didn't say anything, and pointed at Sang Huai in front of me and said it, and made it clear to me. ”

Mama Li said with a smile: "Grandma is tall, so it is inevitable that she will be taller. ”

"What kind of heart is high, but there are no rules and you don't know how to be humble." Old Madam Ke became more and more displeased, "If you want to say, it's not as good as the one in front." Although he doesn't rely on it much, he has a troublesome fox appearance, but he is easy to handle and considerate of others. It's not like this, which is marrying a daughter-in-law, it is clearly marrying a bodhisattva! ”

Mama Li didn't dare to answer, and Mrs. Ke sighed first: "The day before yesterday, someone went to Changwu County to inquire about the news and came back to say that the Lu family does have a relative in southern Jiangsu, and there is also a sister named Wang Yingying. Eight or nine years ago, I lived in the Lu family for a while. ”

Mama Li thought for a while: "Presumably, the one who came back to the house is the Miss Wang." ”

"You're right, I guess I'm here to fight the autumn wind." Old Madam Ke took a sip of tea and washed away the sweetness in her mouth, "It's a pity, if the Lu family is still here, Xu can still give her some silver." Now that the Qin family is in charge, his hands are so tight that he refuses to tell anyone, and if he hears about the first, he is afraid that he will make trouble again. I had no choice but to give up. ”

Mama Li smiled and said, "The old lady has a bodhisattva heart. ”

Old Madam Ke waved her hand: "It's not that I'm a bodhisattva, it's just that I'm afraid of extraneous branches." Now the weather is getting warmer, and after staying in June and July, the birthday banquet of Taishi's Mansion has to be sent by our Ke family to the past. Xing'er is careless and lazy on weekdays, and now our Ke family lives according to the Taishi Mansion, so we must not be careless, otherwise we will get into trouble if we learn the Lu family......"

When she said this, she suddenly stopped, I don't know what I thought, and a trace of fear flashed in my eyes.

Mama Li didn't dare to make a sound, and stood quietly behind her.

After a long while, Mrs. Ke waved her hand and sighed: "That's it, you go and tell the Wanfu family, I want to eat plum cakes these days, let her go to the Guanxiang Flower Market to collect plum blossoms earlier." ”

Mama Li hurriedly responded: "Yes." ”
