The Founding of the Red Chamber

It was difficult for Emperor Zhaode to break the family relationship, and the people in the poor village were outstanding

After Guan Xiaoer came home, Mrs. Guan asked, "Didn't I tell you to go home for dinner?"

Guan Xiaoer's round face showed a look of worry, he looked at his mother, and said, "Mother, you don't know how pitiful Lin Xiaosi is. He is so sick that he can't get out of bed, and he just ate two small bites for lunch." Xiao Er gestured and sighed, "I'll talk to him, and I'll be happier watching him."

Mrs. Guan thought of Lin Jing's well-known sick body in the imperial capital, and Lin Jing's thin and small appearance, and felt a little pity in her heart, and said, "Okay, you have done what a friend would like to do by staying with him." Then I asked how the food at Lin's house was good.

Guan Xiaoer smiled, "Lin Xiaosi used a cook himself, and the queen mother gave him the cook. The dishes he cooked were better than our cook. I ate three bowls of rice, drank a bowl of soup, and gave it back to him. Lin Xiaosi made a joke once. He gave me some snacks." Then he showed his mother the two boxes of snacks that Lin Jing had given him.

Mrs. Guan saw that her son was in high spirits, and knowing that she hadn't quarreled with Xiao Si of the Lin family, she was also willing to ask her son to make more friends, and said with a smile, "That's good. Since you are friends, you have to give in to each other. Now that you are old, you can't Fighting and stuff like when I was a kid."

Guan Xiaoer patted his small chest, tried his best to look reliable, and said, "He is so sick, why should I argue with him, let him go."

Mrs. Guan praised her younger son a few more words, and then asked Guan Xiaoer to go to school.

Lin Teng became the prince's accompanying student very smoothly, the second old lady was very happy, and even the second grandfather who had always been dizzy was also happy for several days.The second old lady had vaccinated the second grandpa a long time ago, seeing that her grandson would have a bright future, she had to be kind to Lin Yi, otherwise there would be no one who would be better than Lin Teng with so many children on the sidelines.It was because Lin Yi didn't forget the old grudges and had this opportunity that Lin Teng made up for Lin Jing's lack.Now, Lin Teng's future is settled.

The second old lady pulled out the dead elder brother, Old Master Lin, and said, "When the eldest brother was here, how did you treat us? Whoever splits the family is not the eldest son who takes the lead. The eldest brother is afraid that we will have a bad life, so he still privately He gave us his two Zhuangzi. Think about it again, how brother Yi treats our family Teng'er and your second uncle, you don't know what to do?"

"Hearing someone's three and a half sentences, my ears are soft, and I can't tell who is near who is far." The second old lady sighed, "We should be satisfied."

The second grandpa told the second old lady that he was extremely ashamed, and he was very embarrassed to promise his wife that he would never get close to those villains again.The second old lady asked the maid to find out good materials for herself, and ordered the maid to send them to Lin Teng to make clothes for her.

The old couple had been talking privately for a long time, and the second old lady felt relieved, but she still called the second grandpa's servant to give instructions, so that everything would be safe.The Yue family said all the ugly things, if this old man goes to death again, he will completely offend the family, and it will inevitably affect the future of his grandson.

Moreover, the second old lady is a sensible person.My family takes care of and promotes his family in every possible way, and there is nothing wrong with it. Why bother to rush to find death? It's not that I'm tired of work.

The second old lady was rejoicing about Lin Teng's affairs, when she heard the girl's soft reply, she raised her eyes and saw the second daughter-in-law Wang came in to greet her grandson Lin Meng.

The second old lady has been the master of the house for many years, and even now, the second old lady is still an authoritative figure at home.Naturally, Mrs. Wang didn't just come here to pay her respects to her in-laws.After saluting with her son, Mrs. Wang revealed her little plan and said, "Brother Meng has been studying with my husband these days, and I took the exam for him, but I always feel that he has not made much progress. Seeing that he is diligent in his studies on weekdays, This has been making no progress, and the daughter-in-law is anxious about something."

The second old lady is so shrewd. She ordered the maid to bring cakes for her grandson to eat, and then sent her grandson out to play. Then she said to her daughter-in-law Wang, "Okay, I don't know what you mean. Brother Teng also followed Xu My husband is studying, why haven’t I heard Brother Teng complain that my husband is not good or anything. Brother Meng just entered school, just enlightenment, Mr. Xu is serious about raising people, and being an enlightenment teacher is enough, you don’t have to pick and choose. Brother Teng I'm about to enter the palace to accompany the prince to read, the family is decent. Brother Jing's body in the palace is not very comfortable, and he has stopped his homework for the past few days to support his health. If you want to be the second sister-in-law, you might as well go to that mansion Let me take a look at Brother Jing's body, so I can talk later." She was getting old, not to mention there was such a worry-free thing at home to take care of.The sons have their own errands, and the second old lady hopes that the daughters-in-law can support the door of the inner house.The eldest daughter-in-law, the Kong family, has a surname of Kong, and had a great ancestor——Sage Kong a thousand years ago. Therefore, she always holds three points in everything.Asking her to go to the government to please the Yue clan is just a dream.

Now the second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, is jealous of Lin Teng's benefits, and she is also planning to ask her son Lin Meng to go to the palace to gain fame.It's just that I don't know what my mother-in-law means, so I came to find out what my mother-in-law said first.

When the second old lady said this, Mrs. Wang immediately smiled and said, "What the old lady said is that my daughter-in-law is stupid, and she doesn't know that Brother Jing is not in good health. My daughter-in-law just pack something and go over to have a look at Brother Jing. Although The government is used to seeing good things, and my things may not be in the eyes of the government, after all, it is our intention."

The last sentence seemed to be begging for something from her.The second old lady smiled, pretending that she didn't understand, and said, "Brother Yi's daughter-in-law is definitely not such a shallow-sighted person, so go ahead and go. It's better to be more prudent in front of your sister-in-law." Regardless of her family background, now that she is in charge of the family, even the second old lady is very polite to the Yue family.

Wang replied crisply, and called Lin Meng, and went with her to the palace to visit the sick.

Seeing that the second daughter-in-law went away in a smart way, the second old lady thought to herself that things might not be successful if Mrs. Wang goes.Lin Teng had just become the prince's accompanying student, and the Wang family was so impatient to join in, the family would not be so demanding.However, it would be good to let Wang hit a wall.When Mrs. Wang hit a wall, she would send Lin Meng to the Duke's mansion in the future, so that she could show her skills as an old lady.Only a shrewd daughter-in-law like Wang can be more respectful to her.

Pressing her thoughts, the second old lady sighed softly, the eldest daughter-in-law is too high-minded, the second daughter-in-law is too powerful, and the third daughter-in-law... In fact, each family has its own difficulties...

Mrs. Wang came to visit, and it was under the pretext of visiting the sick, so Mrs. Yue couldn't see her either.

Wang said affectionately, and said, "I know that Brother Jing is not feeling well, and I am really anxious. I packed up a few supplements and sent them to Brother Jing. It is my heart to use them to nourish Brother Jing's body." arrive."

Yue Shi smiled lightly, "Second brother and sister are interested."

Mrs. Wang asked again, "Brother Jing, should you still take care of him? Why don't you tell Meng'er to visit his fourth uncle? Greet his fourth uncle too."

Lin Teng's mother, Mrs. Kong, acted with dignity, and the Yue family was a little displeased. The saint Kong is a saint. Your Kong family only had a saint ancestor 800 years ago, and you are not a saint yourself. As for putting on such airs?Now, when dealing with Wang Shi, Yue Shi deeply felt that Kong Shi should be more at ease.Yue Shi pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "What a coincidence, just now I asked Fu'er to ask, and fourth uncle was asleep. Alas, fourth uncle has not slept well at night these days, and it is also true that he can catch up on sleep during the day." Alright. Sir, I have seen my uncle's illness, and he said that he can recuperate. No one can be heard within twenty feet of my uncle's yard. When my uncle recovers, it won't be too late to go and say hello."

When the Yue family said this, the Wang family had no choice but to agree.

Seeing that Lin Teng had only read books with Lin Jing for three to five months in the Duke's mansion, Mrs. Wang was lucky to be the prince's companion.Wang's eyes wished to burn red, and couldn't hold back, so she talked to Yue about Lin Meng's admission to school, and talked about her homework with Mr. Yue.

Yue Shi just listened quietly and did not take Wang Shi's words.Mrs. Wang said her mouth was dry, but fortunately, she had some family background. Since she saw that Mrs. Yue was somewhat unwilling, Mrs. Wang did not dare to force her. Seeing that a woman and daughter-in-law came in, Mrs. Wang used an excuse to go home up.

It's just that, full of confidence, she came to the government to flatter her for a long time, but in the end, the matter was not completed, and Wang's heart was inevitably a little depressed.

When Lin Yi returned home at night, he first went to Songbaiyuan to have a look at Lin Jing. Seeing that Lin Jing's enthusiasm had subsided, Lin Yi felt relieved, and promised to take Lin Jing to play in the street when he was well. Good health.

Lin Jing was not born to be able to calm down, and asked, "Big brother, how is the King of Xiangyang?" These days, people's eyes are all on the matter of the crown prince.Now that the ceremony is over, His Highness the crown prince's candidates for teachers and companions have all been settled, and there is no suspense left.So Lin Jing began to worry about the King of Xiangyang again.

Lin Yi didn't even think about it, and said directly, "It's good to recover from illness, don't worry about such useless thoughts."

Lin Jing tugged at Lin Yi's sleeve, and lazily said, "Brother, if you don't tell me, I'm sure I won't be able to sleep for half the night."

Lin Yi thought for a while, Lin Jing had such a long-winded temper, so to save him trouble, he simply said, "This morning, five vassal kings jointly submitted a letter to intercede for the Xiangyang Palace. Unworthy of being a king. However, the King of Xiangyang still begged His Majesty to look at His Royal Highness's honor, he would rather cut down the king himself and give the king to a virtuous person."

Lin Jing sighed, and said, "It's rare for the King of Xiangyang to understand why the vassal princes have joined forces with the original, and His Majesty will definitely be displeased."

Lin Yi said, "Whether you like it or not, His Majesty must decide at his own discretion when the vassal kings join hands in such a joint name." Emperor Zhaode is the only son of the late emperor, and the undisputed heir, which has also led to the weak population of the royal family today. Except for Princess Yide, who is half-brother with Emperor Zhaode, the blood relationship between the vassal king and Emperor Zhaode is a bit distant.The only one who is closest is King Jinling, who is the uncle of Emperor Zhaode's direct relative.

Lin Jing leaned on the couch, played with the pattern on Lin Yi's sleeve, and said, "Perhaps someone is pointing the finger at the King of Xiangyang behind his back. Or, with King Xiangyang being an adopted prince, he can force Concubine Xie Even when he sent his adopted daughter to the emperor to file a lawsuit against the emperor, he succeeded. Alas, with this kind of mind, the King of Xiangyang has only been a prince for a few years, so he will definitely not be able to invite such clan princes with his face."

Lin Yi didn't want Lin Jing to bother about these matters, so he simply told him, "Ah Yun and I have been thinking about it for a long time, and it must be King Jinling's idea."

"King of Jinling?" Lin Yi didn't understand even more. King Jinling was the uncle of Emperor Zhaode, and Emperor Zhaode was never mean to those close to him. Why...

"Your Majesty may not know." Lin Yi touched Lin Jing's soft face, "Okay, don't worry about this, just rest, and wait until you recover from illness, then you won't be too late to worry about it."

Lin Jing tilted his body, groaned, and leaned into Lin Yi's arms, and said softly, "I didn't feel bored when recuperating before, but now I always feel bored."

Lin Yi embraced Lin Jing and comforted him, "A Yun said that your health is not bad. Before you were sick, you dared not leave the house for a month. Thinking about it now, is it much better?" A Yun said, After drinking the medicine for a few days, you can go out."

"Really?" Lin Jing's eyes were extremely bright, he stretched out his small fists and clenched it, and said happily, "I also feel that I have some strength. Big brother, Guan Xiaoer has a very handsome horse. Well, later on, can you also give me a horse?"

But Lin Yi refused to follow Lin Jing's wish, and said softly, "It depends on how you behave? If you don't get sick for half a year, I'll give you a pony."

"Really?"

"nature."

After coaxing Lin Jing into a deep sleep, Lin Yi called Nanny Zhang out again, and asked about Lin Jing's condition. Nanny Zhang recited a Buddhist voice, "Master is much better than in previous years. In previous years, once the wind blows, you will die." Fever, once you have a fever, you have to cough for a few days. This year the fever subsides quickly, and seeing the master's spirit is much better than in previous years."

"Thanks for your hard work, ma'am." Lin Yi said with a pleasant face, "Mama is so good to take care of Jing'er, if he has anything to eat or play with, as long as it's good for his health, feel free to tell me or your wife."

Nanny Zhang respectfully agreed.

Lin Yi went back to the main courtyard. The Yue clan had heard the maid's report earlier. When her husband returned home, he first went to Mr. Shu's courtyard and then went to the Songbai courtyard. Now that Lin Yi entered the house, the Yue clan directly ordered the maid Chuanfan personally went to serve Lin Yi to change his clothes, and said softly, "I went to see my fourth uncle in the afternoon, and it was much better than in the morning. The fever is also gone, master, don't worry. The fever is gone, take your time." Take it easy."

"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Yi said.

The Yue family smiled, "What does the master say about this? Fourth uncle is our real brother, but he is also a caring and loving person." Speaking of Lin Jing, the Yue family thought of Wang's again, and said, "The second uncle in the second uncle's house The younger sister-in-law brought his eldest son over to ask about Fourth Uncle Hou's health, and Uncle Hou is recuperating from his illness, and there are many people coming and going, so I didn't ask to see him because I was afraid of disturbing Fourth Uncle."

Lin Yi gave a low "hmm" and put his arms into the sleeves of the little fur coat.Yue's fingers fastened the yellow brass buttons on the front of the coat to her husband, and seeing that the food was set on the table, Yue ordered the maids to leave, and the husband and wife had dinner together.Lin Yi said, "It will be late in the future, you can eat first, don't starve yourself."

Yue Shi laughed, "I ate a few pieces of snacks in the afternoon, and I don't feel hungry in the evening."

The husband and wife sat down at the table hand in hand, Yue handed the chopsticks to her husband first, and said, "I heard the meaning of the second sister-in-law in the second uncle's house, and wanted Brother Meng to come and study with the fourth uncle." Put a chopstick of Lin Yi's favorite crispy fish into her husband's bowl, and said, "According to my little knowledge, fourth uncle is sick now, and he is the most polite. Brother Meng is here to study, fourth uncle is indispensable." It takes a lot of time to meet him and talk to him. Besides, whether the two children hit it off or not is another matter. As cousins ​​and sisters-in-law, although we want to understand the hearts of cousins ​​and daughters-in-law, we can finally get fourth uncle Your body is the most important thing. You might as well let this matter go and talk about it later." The Yue family is not Lin Yi, thinking that the second great master tried to win the title in vain, the Yue family inevitably felt a little unhappy.Do you now feel that the government has become fat, and everyone will be exposed to it.

After the Yue family said it so thoughtfully, Lin Yi nodded happily, "Okay, do as you say."

Yue's eyes became softer, Lin Yi looked up and saw that there was no one else in the room, Lin Yi leaned into Yue's ear and whispered a few words, but without knowing what he said, he blushed Yue's face in embarrassment, and held up his incense stick. He punched his husband with his fist, and said angrily, "Master, he eats so much, he's becoming more and more dishonest."

The corners of Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly, and he took a deep look at Yue Shi, and the food became even sweeter.

The clan and royal family have joined forces unprecedentedly, and it has nothing to do with the Lin family.The young couple Lin Yi and the Yue family rested early, in the bed, after some joy, Lin Yi whispered something to the Yue family.

As the saying goes, teach your son face to face and teach your wife behind your back.

The women of the Lin family include a powerful woman like Queen Mother Lin, and a Hedong lion like the second old lady Lin. Lin Yi and the Yue family have a harmonious relationship, and they don't even have a concubine around them, which shows the sweetness of the two.When the Yue family married into the Lin family, she was a mediocre lady in the Hou family.However, after these years of getting along, the husband and wife not only have a better relationship, even Lin Yi will also teach the Yue clan some of the situation in the imperial capital, which not only broadens the Yue clan's horizons, but also makes the couple closer.

Even when the Yue clan came back to his natal family by chance, his mother-in-law Mrs. Wenxiang Hou saw that the daughter became more graceful and generous. Although she always cared about the daughter's belly, fortunately the son-in-law was devoted to her daughter, which is also a kind of blessing.

Sometimes, feelings are raised bit by bit like this.

Lin Yi is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but also a caring person, so the husband and wife are naturally harmonious.

Emperor Zhaode did not have such understanding, and made himself a prince. Emperor Zhaode felt that he was getting farther and farther away from Empress Xie.

Being far away from Empress Xie, it is natural that they are also far away from Xie's family.

Emperor Zhaode was very willing to cut down the nobility in Xiangyang Palace.At first, when the crown prince was to be established, the ministers in the court debated endlessly, and the prince of Xiangyang put it on hold for a while. Emperor Zhaode really did not expect the prince of the clan to come to this move.

At night, Emperor Zhaode began to suffer from insomnia.The words of Tang Ying, a scholar, echoed in Emperor Zhaode's mind countless times, "Your Majesty intends to be the Mingjun of all ages. Now His Majesty holds the power alone. The King of Xiangyang disrespects the concubine and is extremely disrespectful. If your Majesty is hindered by the face of the clan and princes, he will hesitate." Undecided, in the future, we will talk about prospering and eliminating disadvantages, and reforms in a prosperous age."

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Zhaode finally made up his mind.

At this time, Situ San also made up his mind.

Once a person has money, he will never think about living without money again.

Situ San doesn't have any big ambitions, but he is an ambitious person, and he doesn't want to be looked down upon for the rest of his life.Especially when he has spent several months tossing around the medicinal herbs, and he has been recommended by most of the villagers.

Situ San is absolutely unwilling to live the life of being bullied like before.

Many years later, Situ San would recall, if he hadn't argued with Boss Hu, wouldn't his mother, Mrs. Zhang, have ended up with such a result in the future, wouldn't his life be different?

However, many things are not assumed.

Boss Hu fought with a country boy to raise the purchase price of medicinal herbs.Situ San was young and energetic, and immediately offered a price that was three points higher than Boss Hu's.Not only that, Situ San also coaxed and said harsh words everywhere, "My eldest sister works in the prince's mansion, I have a lot of money, and I'm afraid that you, a mud leg, will open a medicine shop." Not only that, Situ San also pulled a Help the younger brother to go to the town to look around the shops, money or something is not a problem, but those shops are either in a bad location or have bad feng shui, neither of which suits Situ San's mind.

Boss Hu has been in business for many years, and he has never seen anything tricky.Although Boss Hu also found out from Granny Cui that Situ San's sister was indeed sold into the Jinling Palace.Although Boss Hu claimed to be well-informed, his highest grade was that of the county magistrate, like a prince. Boss Hu trembled every time he thought of it.Fortunately, Situ San's sister just sold into the palace, and it didn't last long. Boss Hu didn't believe that Situ San really had the palace as a backer.In the majestic palace, you won't let a servant in the palace stand out, will you?

Otherwise, Situ San would still be throwing away some medicinal herbs, and with the palace covering him, it would not be difficult to become an official.

Feeling uneasy, Boss Hu knew that there was no way out. If Situ San stepped on him, he wouldn't have to go to town again in the future.

The two of them broke up and began to drive up the price of medicinal herbs.

Those villagers in the countryside who used to just pick a couple of medicinal herbs at random and sell them for pocket use, saw that the price of medicinal herbs was one day, and some shrewd ones thought it was a rare commodity, so they were reluctant to sell it.

And Boss Hu seemed to have his eyeliner on Situ San's side. If Situ San grows by one point, he will grow by one point and five points.Moreover, when he heard that Situ San failed to purchase medicinal materials and vented his anger on his younger brother, Boss Hu showed a smug smile at home: "A young boy, nothing to worry about."

Time passed quietly, and it was New Years in a blink of an eye.

It seemed that Situ San really had inexhaustible money in his hands, so he bought a few big fat pigs, dozens of jars of local wine, and distributed New Year's wine and meat to his boys.For example, Liu Zhigao has gained a lot, and there is still a tael of silver to get.

This was a real tael of silver. In a short time, Situ San's generosity spread throughout Situ Village.It even spread to Boss Hu's ears in the town.

Fa Cai said carefully to the owner of the house, "It is said that Situ San has money from his eldest girl who works in the palace, and he is very rich."

In the past few months, Boss Hu has raised the purchase price of medicinal herbs, but the price he sells medicinal herbs to the big medicinal material merchants in Jinling City is the same as before.Originally, he thought that Situ San, a poor boy, would not last ten days and a half months.I don't want this kid to live happily until the Chinese New Year, but Boss Hu, now there is no profit to talk about from medicinal herbs, and many of them have to pay back.It's just that Boss Hu is relying on his business for many years, and he is relying on his laurels.The mother-in-law at home looked at whether there was little money in her hand, and seeing that the youngest son was getting engaged to marry a wife, she was inevitably unhappy. When she babbled too much, Boss Hu was very upset.

But, until now, riding a tiger is hard to get off.

When Boss Hu thought of the money that had been smashed in, he was so distressed that he was on fire for a moment. He raised his foot and gave Fa Cai a few times, vented his anger, and pointed at the door, "Get out! Useless things!"

Fa Cai ran away scrambling.

In the evening, Fa Cai felt a severe pain from being kicked in the stomach by his master. When the light in the main house was turned off, Fa Cai lay in the servant's room, his face turned pale from the pain, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

Youfu and Facai are blood brothers. Back then, when there was a famine in the family, the child was sold not just to exchange two buckets of food for survival, but also to find a way for the child to survive.Later, the two brothers followed Ren Yazi to the small town several times. Mrs. Hu saw that the brothers were interesting, so she bought them and put them at her husband's disposal.It also saves the pain of parting for the brothers.

At this moment, Youfu saw that his elder brother's face was not right, so he quickly asked, "Brother, what's the matter with you?" On weekdays, Fa Cai served by Boss Hu's side, asking for compliments.As for Blessed, most of them work in the medicine store.

Fa Cai told his younger brother about the beating intermittently, and You Fu lifted up his brother's coarse cloth jacket to have a look, and sure enough, his elder brother had a bruise the size of a fist on his stomach.You Fu was in a hurry and asked his brother to wait for a while. He ran to the kitchen and begged the woman in charge of the kitchen for a pot of hot water.He took it back and carefully fed it to his elder brother, Fa Cai's expression gradually turned.

The two brothers were sold to the Hu's family for several years, and they knew very well the master's miserly and sharp-minded nature.

On the second day, Fa Cai's complexion was still not very good, the corners of his lips turned white, and his face turned blue.You Fu is very worried, but the slave's life is like withered grass in the wind, who cares whether he is dead or alive?If the host family knew that his elder brother was sick and couldn't get up, what would the host family do?Seeing his elder brother struggling to get up to go to work, when You Fu was arranging the herbs in the pharmacy, he took advantage of the shopkeeper's unpreparedness, secretly packed a small piece of ginseng, and stole it home for his elder brother to eat.

Fa Cai saw that his younger brother actually stole ginseng slices and brought them home, regardless of how Fa Cai knew that his younger brother was "stealing" and not "rewarding" from the master, he really knew the temper of the master too well.

Frightened by getting rich, his face turned even paler. He remembered that there was a boy who sold into the Hu family with them in the past. Like his younger brother You Blessed, that boy worked in a pharmacy at first.Later, the boy was discovered by his master for stealing medicinal materials in the shop, he was beaten half to death and thrown in the firewood shed, within three days, the boy died.Youfu said in a low voice, "Elder Brother, eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, you will use it as an excuse to let the master and wife know. I will definitely die."

Before the blessed words were finished, Fa Cai grabbed the thin slice of ginseng and stuffed it into his mouth without chewing.

I don't know if this ginseng has medicinal power, Fa Cai's complexion gradually improved, but as the weather got colder, Fa Cai always coughed intermittently.

Especially, serving by the master's side, how dare a slave cough to upset the master, so he has to bear it and go back.In this way, when resting at night, the coughing is even worse.

Blessed secretly worried.

In fact, since the Hu family runs a medicine store, there is a doctor Wu in the medicine store.However, how could Dr. Wu think highly of people like them? If he didn't have money to pave the way, Dr. Wu would definitely not be willing to treat his brother.Having been sold as slaves for many years, the Hu family was stingy and stingy, and there was no reason to give monthly money to slaves.

Hearing that his brother's cough was getting worse day by day, You Fu felt anxious.

Suddenly one day, Youfu was arranging the medicinal herbs, he was startled suddenly, his expression changed.Tong Xi, who was arranging the herbs with Youfu, asked, "Little Fuzi, what's wrong with you?"

You Fu covered his stomach and said bitterly, "Brother Xi Zi, I, I..."

Tong Xi hurried out of the aisle, and before You Fu could finish his sentence, he ran towards the hut in the backyard.

In the hut, Youfu urinated lightly, his dark eyes shone brightly: he finally found a way to save his brother.

Boss Hu's temper deteriorated day by day, and when he vented his anger on Fa Cai, Fa Cai couldn't bear it anymore, so he poked his eyes upwards, his body softened, and he went up faintly.

Mrs. Hu ordered Laishhou to recite Fa Cai out, and said to her husband with a black face, "beating a slave boy is nothing. If you beat Fa Cai to death, it would cost tens of taels of silver to buy such a half-sized man! How can the family pay for it now?" There is money to buy a slave boy!"

After a dispute between the husband and wife, in order to save more than a dozen taels of silver, Boss Hu finally showed mercy to Fa Cai.

Fa Cai secretly rejoiced, if he hadn't dressed in time, his life would have been ruined at the feet of this surname Hu.

Fa Cai was no longer beaten, but he still coughed.

Youfu found an opportunity to speak next to Boss Hu, "Master, this servant has an idea. It will definitely scare that poor man surnamed Situ into weakness, so he won't dare to go against the master again!"

Boss Hu was furious to pay for the money, and was wishing he could eat Situ San alive. Hearing what Youfu said, he raised his eyebrows, "Oh?"

Seeing that the master's family was interested, he smiled blessedly and said, "Master, why did you forget that our eldest daughter is the county wife after all. With the eldest daughter here, who are we afraid of? Master, why bother with the Situ family's poor man to cure his anger, and only want slaves?" Go to Situ Village and tell the head of Situ Village, if the slave doesn't believe it, the head there will not give you face."

Boss Hu originally thought that being blessed was just a few words of flattery, but unexpectedly this kid really had some tricks.Boss Hu's income this year is limited, if Situ San is not in charge, he will kill Situ San, but it will cost some money.However, thinking of Situ San's sister who was working in the palace, Boss Hu... Because of such concerns, Boss Hu ran on Situ San, and he lost a lot of money because of the run, and Tu Xiaosan was still alive and kicking.

Hearing what Youfu said made some sense, Boss Hu thought for a while, his face sank, and he said, "Since you have thought of this method, master, I will leave this matter to you kid. If you succeed, you will be rewarded. If you mess up, you will have a good meal."

Youfu knelt down and agreed.

Under the order of the master's family, Youfu finally had the opportunity to go to Situ Village.

When Situ San saw Youfu for the first time, he always felt a little familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered that this boy's facial features were somewhat similar to the boy who often followed Hu.

You Fu came out of the Li Chang's house, because he came to talk to the Li Chang's house, Boss Hu also prepared a few gifts for You Fu to send to the Li Chang's house.In Boss Hu's mind, it would be great if Situ San could be strangled to death from the village chief.Therefore, the prepared gifts are quite decent.

Situ San didn't take blessings seriously, even he was not afraid of Hu, a little slave, Situ San didn't even care.It's just that this kid's eyes are black and bright, which is very unpleasant.Situ San didn't speak, Youfu stepped forward and whispered something in Situ San's ear, Situ San's expression changed slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant.

It's just that the color changed at this moment, and Blessing was already in his eyes, showing a smug smile.

Situ San knew that this kid had spotted it, so he simply said directly, "Since Brother Fu has such a trick in hand, just tell your master directly." So what if You Fu knew, he earned all the money he should earn. .

Youfu grinned, stepped into Situ San's room, sat down swaggeringly, and said, "I've come to speak to third brother, because I don't intend to betray third brother." As he spoke, Youfu twirled his thumb and forefinger , with a smile, "It depends on the sincerity of the third brother. As long as the third brother is sincere enough, the third brother will continue to make your fortune in the future, and I promise not to let a fart out."

Youfu thought that he had the chance to win, but unexpectedly, Situ San didn't take this kind of trick at all, and said coldly, "I hate people threatening me! If you have the ability, go ahead and talk! You must know better about the virtues of that Hu, Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to make a fortune on me!" Now that Situ San had some money in his hands, he spoke with extra confidence.

Youfu saw that Situ San was not threatened, and he was in a hurry to get money for his brother's medical treatment. After thinking about it for a moment, Youfu lowered his posture and said in a low voice, "As long as it is three taels of silver, I will never say anything!"

Situ San flicked his cotton sleeves, "Walk slowly!"

Blessed once his momentum was suppressed, and he was in urgent need of money, and this opportunity was the only one he had found these days to get money to save his brother.For many years, they lived together, thinking of his brother coughing all night, Blessed's heart pounded, he breathed slightly, his eyes turned red, he got up suddenly, and looked at Situ San burningly.

Situ San thought he was blessed to do it, and he had martial arts skills, so he was naturally not afraid.However, Situ San also stood up, secretly guarding against Youfu.But he didn't want Youfu's knees to soften, so he knelt on the cold ground and said in a low voice, "I know third brother has brothers, if it wasn't for my brother's medical treatment, I, I wouldn't have come to ask third brother to borrow money ! As long as the third brother lends me a few liang of silver to see a doctor for my brother, even if the third brother has a job, I will be blessed!"

Situ San didn't speak immediately, but Ren Youfu knelt down for a while, and asked with an uncertain face, "Why are you begging me? You are Boss Hu's domestic slave, and he is in the business of medicinal materials. There are doctors in the pharmacy. Doctor, your brother is sick, it’s just a matter of Boss Hu’s words. Can the doctor not show it to your brother?” Situ San doesn’t believe in blessing at all, but feels that blessing’s hand is a bit like what a storyteller said, "" The bitter tricks or counter-measures in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

You Fu bit his lower lip, and said in a low voice, "I know, whoever can ask for it! Who can't ask for it! If the third brother refuses to believe me, I am willing to make a written proof!"

"I can't see, you're versatile." Situ San said in his heart, there's no point in writing a letter, and I can't read, so who knows what kind of ghostly symbols you wrote on it.

Situ San thought for a moment, then bent down suddenly, raised You Blessed with both hands, and said seriously, "I have a younger brother, and you have an older brother. I know the feeling of having a brother, and I know the friendship between brothers." After speaking, Situ San turned to himself. He took out a piece of silver cake from the box, took Blessed's hand, put it in Blessed's palm, and said, "You keep the money. I don't need you to go to Hu's house as an internal response, and heal your brother's illness earlier. Go."

You Fu knelt down, there was really no way to kneel down.Now that Situ San said such words, he felt a little gratitude to Situ San from the bottom of his heart, clutching the dime of silver, Blessed eyes were slightly red, and said softly, "One day, I will thank San Ge."

Situ San patted Youfu on the shoulder, and Youfu looked at Situ San and said, "Nowadays, the price of herbs in our town is inflated, third brother, while raising the price, you dumped the low-priced herbs from other medicine shops to Hu's medicine shop to sell. I Tell the third brother, the third brother is also in the herb business, and the herbs you get from other people's herb shops are not easy for ordinary people to find. I have worked in the herb shop for many years, third brother, the herbs sold by the countrymen , In fact, they are different in size, fat and thin. The herbs you resell from other medicinal materials shops are all similar in size. I have worked for many years before I realized that something is wrong. Because my brother was severely beaten by the master, we brothers are slaves, and our hands There is no money in the world to see a doctor for my elder brother, so I made this foolish plan and offended my third elder brother."

It turns out that this kid has a very smart heart.Situ San still mixed two kinds of medicinal herbs with different qualities, and ordered the faceless boy to sell them at Hu's medicinal material store for a high price.I don't want to, but let this kid see a flaw.

Without waiting for Situ San to ask, Youfu continued, "This time, I found an excuse. In the name of a girl surnamed Hu who was given to the county magistrate as a concubine, I came to the head of the village to give a warning, telling him to restrain the villagers Selling medicinal herbs to you. If it weren’t for this name, I really couldn’t get away and get money for my brother to see a doctor. You guys are good, and you scolded me to go out with a black face. It’s just that his son is not very authentic, and the third brother is on guard That kid."

After You Fu finished speaking, he didn't stay for a moment, put the silver in his arms, turned around and walked out.

Outside the house, fine snow and ice fell.
