Chapter 498 - Showing a Little Horse's Feet
Hearing the news that the king of Hejian County had returned to Chang'an, Mu Jiaojiao only said: "It's okay to be separated now." We don't see each other, and everyone is pure. ”
When they told the eldest lady about this, the eldest lady was only silent for a while and said, "It's good to go, I don't want to see him again anyway." Then she turned and took out her little red horse, and rode it out.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu looked at each other helplessly, then shook their heads and sighed.
"When the child is older, I don't know how many joys and sorrows I will have to go through in the future. Starting with him, it's actually not bad. Cui Pu said.
His expression remained very serious, in fact, his heart was already happy!
That old monster is finally gone! He's liberated, he's going to set off firecrackers to celebrate!
Not long after the eldest lady left, the maid came to report that Junjun wanted to see her, and Mu Jiaojiao hurriedly asked people to bring her in.
After more than half a year of recuperation, Junjun's problems are almost better. It's just that because she has suffered too much in the past ten years, her body has been seriously damaged, and she can't recover in the end. However, if he can cure those diseases, and now he can stand in front of people generously, Junjun is already very satisfied. When her health was almost better, she offered to go to the pharmacy to help, which was regarded as repaying Mu Jiaojiao with her own modest efforts. Mu Jiaojiao agreed.
These days, she is working very hard at the pharmacy. She is literate, her hands and feet are very quick, she can easily take care of medicine, grasp medicine, decoction medicine, dispense medicine, and keep accounts, etc., and she can control an entire pharmacy in less than two months. These days, she directly takes the pharmacy as her home, and Mu Jiaojiao has to send someone to urge her to come back during the holidays.
asked her why she was working so hard, and she said that she was finally able to live a personal life again, and now she wants to give full play to her true skills to earn a bite to eat, and by the way, it is also the best reward for Mu Jiaojiao's life-saving grace.
Mu Jiaojiao listened, and went with her.
Now that she suddenly ran back, she should have learned the news of Cui Pu's transfer!
Sure enough. After coming in to greet the ceremony, Junjun asked Mu Jiaojiao: "I heard that Cui Tingshi is about to be transferred to Liangzhou, is this news true?"
Since she lived in the Thorn Mansion, she changed her name to Cui Pu and called Cui Thorn Shi, and she only consulted with Mu Jiaojiao when she had something, and never found any excuse to trouble Cui Pu. She didn't say a word about the past between her and Cui Pu, and when others asked her about her origin, she only said that she was rescued by Meng Mu Jiaojiao from the bitter woman who was out of the sea of suffering.
drew a clear line with Cui Pu so clearly, resolutely stood on Mu Jiaojiao's side, respected Mu Jiaojiao very much, and even loved the four children to the bone, so that Mu Jiaojiao could not take care of her a little more.
Mu Jiaojiao nodded. "Yes. ”
"So, can I go with you?" asked Junjun cautiously.
Mu Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows. "Do you know where Liangzhou is?"
"I know. I also know that there is yellow sand everywhere, and there are many tribes such as Huqiang, Turks, etc., and it is not safe at all. However, I swore to repay Madame for your great kindness, so naturally I will go wherever Madame goes. No matter how hard it is there, it will always be as hard as my past days, right? I can definitely bear it. Junjun said busily.
"But you're not fully well, and it's not the right place for you to recuperate. ”
"I'm already fine!" Junjun quickly puffed up his chest, "Madam, you don't have to worry about me, really! All I want in this life is to follow Madame, you, and do more things for the people of the world." Madame, you are the person I admire the most, and I am relieved to be by your side. ”
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Cui Pu. Cui Pu shrugged: "She's talking to you." The implication is that he doesn't care about things between women.
Mu Jiaojiao said: "Wang Qiqi is the county commander in Xiatang County, and I originally planned to entrust you to him." Moreover, there is still a lot of work to be done here in Guangzhou, and Envoy Pei Jingluo has assured us that after we leave, what is going on here will continue. I also plan to hand over all the pharmacies here in Guangzhou to you to take care of. ”
The temptation is great.
Following Mu Jiaojiao, she went to Liangzhou and had to start from scratch, and she had worked hard for several years and may not have the results she has now. But if she stays, then all the pharmacies in Guangzhou will be taken care of by her, and Pei Jingluo will be her backer, her self-worth in this life will be fully realized, and she will be able to eat and drink for the rest of her life.
Just like Cao Sanniang and Qiu Shan, they followed Mu Jiaojiao to Guangzhou, after the decoction was promoted last year, the couple was borrowed by the Shaozhou Thorn History, and now the couple is responsible for the management of the pharmacy in Shaozhou, and some official medicinal materials have to go through their hands. It can be described as a high authority, and both husband and wife are very satisfied with this arrangement. and Mu Jiaojiao's apprentices and grandchildren, they are now also distributed in medical centers in Yangzhou, Lingnan and other places, and most of them have occupied a very important position in the eyes of the government.
The few remaining ones that have not yet been allocated are not in a hurry. Because the experience of those people in front of them has clearly told them - as long as they follow Mu Jiaojiao well, Mu Jiaojiao will definitely not treat them badly!
However, it is the first case that someone like Junjun can hold such a critical position in just a short time. This is also enough to show Mu Jiaojiao's trust and attention to her.
However, Jun Jun hesitated for a long time, but still shook his head: "I still prefer to follow you to Liangzhou." And...... Well, I'll be honest, in fact, I insist on going with you, on the one hand, because I want to repay you for your kindness, and on the other hand, I really can't give up the little lady. As I said before, I also gave birth to a little lady, and she is only a little older than the little lady. It's a pity that I was resold as soon as I gave birth to her, and I took a look at the child when I was born. Cui Tingshi later went to look for me and found the family, but my little lady was nowhere to be found. ”
"The first time I saw the little lady, I felt like I was seeing my child. In the past six months, watching the little lady grow up, I feel like watching my child grow up. Now let me stay in Guangzhou, here is to separate me from the little lady, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable! Of course, I don't want to snatch the little lady, I just want to stay, watch the little lady grow up and get married, just watch my child grow up and get married, my heart as a mother is complete!"
After saying that, she bowed down and bowed: "Please also ask Mrs. to take pity on the slave's longing for her daughter, and fulfill the slave's wish!"
Junjun gave birth to a daughter, and they all knew about it. Cui Pu also sent someone to look for this child, but who knew that the family saw that she gave birth to a little lady and not Xiao Langjun, so they sold her not to mention, and later even the little lady was given away! Cui Pu sent someone to find her, but he couldn't find his whereabouts.
The child born after ten months of hard work was taken away while still in infancy, this kind of pain Mu Jiaojiao has not experienced, but you can also guess a thing or two.
And when he was recuperating in the house, Junjun was indeed very good to the eldest lady and brothers. It's just that the eldest lady is older, and I don't know where I heard about the past between her and Cui Pu, so I was a little wary of her in my heart and never accepted her overtures. Da Langjun is a stuffy gourd, so naturally he won't pay attention to her. Erlangjun doesn't even bother to take care of his own parents, let alone outsiders. The little lady is stupid, whoever plays with her is happy, and she also has a good time with Junjun. Later, every time Junjun came over, she also had to play with the little lady for half a day. Mu Jiaojiao had already realized that she was pinning her thoughts on her daughter on the little lady. Now, Junjun's answer also confirms her guess.
Hearing Junjun's cry, Mu Jiaojiao's heart was full of pity.
"I see what you mean. In fact, the little lady also likes you very much, and if you go with you, she will definitely be very happy. ”
"Really, madam, did you agree that I would go with you?" Jun Jun was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his head.
Mu Jiaojiao's head was bright. "Just bring one more person, I'm fine. It's just that you better think about it first, I think it's better for you to stay in Guangzhou. ”
"Don't think about it, as long as you are willing to take me, Madame, I will follow you wherever you go!" Junjun said immediately, his eyes full of determination.
Seeing this, Mu Jiaojiao could only sigh. "In that case, go back and pack your things! ”
"Okay, I'll go!" But when she let go, Junjun was overjoyed, and he kowtowed to her three times, and then got up happily and went to pack his things.
Waiting for the people to leave, Cui Pucai said. "You shouldn't have promised her. ”
"Then why didn't you say it just now?" Mu Jiaojiao asked rhetorically.
Cui Pu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly smirked: "Isn't it difficult for me to speak?" You said that if I said it, she shed two tears and looked at me with tears in her eyes, I was afraid that I would only nod and agree. When the time comes, why don't you close the door and kill me?"
"Then you think I can handle her pleading?"
"I didn't mean that! I didn't say you're hard-hearted, lady! I just said...... Ahem, I just want to say, you are all women, and women don't have as many methods against women as they do to men, and it's easier for you to deal with them.
However, she still poked me in the soft underbelly with one sentence. Mu Jiaojiao said.
As long as you are human, you can't be without weakness. Mu Jiaojiao's biggest weakness now is not these children? As long as Junjun cries about the topic of children, she naturally can't hold back.
"Yes, her mind is much deeper than before, and she actually plays tricks in front of me. Cui Pu said in a low voice, "Sure enough, the years are a pig-killing knife." The beauty of that youth can only be recalled, and can no longer be put in front of you. She is not the same person she used to be after all. ”
"To her, you're not the same person you used to be. You weren't so cold to her before. Mu Jiaojiao said.
"yes, it's all different. Nowadays, our identities are becoming more and more disparity, and we can no longer be as honest as we were at the beginning because we have experienced too much. I don't trust her completely, and how can she trust me completely? Cui Pu sighed quietly. "I should have sent her away as soon as I found her. ”
"Are you sure you were willing to let go then?" or are you sure she would have said yes?" asked Mu Jiaojiao with a smile.
Cui Pu paused, and then sighed again. He lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Mu Jiaojiao also sighed. "Since you think she's suspicious, it's better to keep her under your nose. At least someone is watching, and her every move is under our control. If she does do something one day, we can prepare for it in advance. Of course, I hope everything is our delusion. ”
"I also hope it's my delusion. Cui Pu said in a low voice.
At the end, he raised his head and sighed, "Then take her with you!"
