Chapter 3 Granny Wu's Selfishness

In this world, luck and misfortune are always relative, never alone.In Wanshi City, more than a dozen miles away, there is a magnificent courtyard in the north of the city. Although the candlelight is shining brightly at this moment, and the courtyards are as bright as day, it is like a dark cloud, and the atmosphere is so oppressive that even the servants want to walk with their legs on their shoulders. , for fear that making a little noise would make the master even more irritable.

In the hall of the main courtyard, an old lady who was nearly fifty years old was sitting crookedly on a soft couch and sighing. Her expression brightened a little, and the sorrow between her brows was like ink that couldn't be melted.

The old nanny standing by the couch was wearing a navy blue dress, her hair was tied up in a bun, and a silver hairpin was inserted behind her head. She was neatly dressed, but there were many wrinkles on her cheeks. Outrageous and sinister taste.

The two maidservants stood opposite her, maybe they wanted to go up to serve the master, but after being stared at by the old mother for a few times, they lowered their heads with a little bit of resentment.

A look of disdain flashed in the eyes of the old mama, and she raised her hand to take the teacup from the hand of the big maid, and while passing it to the old lady, she gently persuaded: "Old lady, you should take it easy and drink this bowl of ginseng soup. The young master just drank the medicine at this moment, and the cough is already light. You can't go on without eating or drinking, otherwise the young master will recover, and your old man will fall ill again. The young master and us are full Who do the servants of the government expect to go to?"

Hearing this, the old lady put down the palm that was holding her forehead, revealing a slightly old-fashioned, but still charming face, her brows were wrinkled, and she finally drank half of the ginseng soup before she became hoarse Asked: "Where is the second master, haven't you come back yet?"

The old mother hurriedly responded: "Second master went out to find a good doctor, and he hasn't come back yet, maybe there is good news!"

The old lady's expression softened again, and she sighed: "I hope so, brother Kun has been suffering from this cough for half a month, and if he can't find a good doctor, he will have to be sent back to the capital."

The old lady was a little disapproving. Because the Emperor Taizu killed him so ruthlessly, not a single pediatrician was left behind in the capital. Even some doctors with excellent medical skills learned some methods, and they had to cover up when they saw a doctor. Not easy to find.Otherwise, the old master passed away not long ago, and the second master Ding You would not have moved back to guard the system. Isn't it just thinking that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so maybe there will be a few pediatricians to leave behind to recuperate the young master's body?

After Xu finished speaking, the old lady realized that she had said something stupid, so she sighed even harder, "I'm really old and useless."

The old mother quickly put on a smiling face, and when she wanted to persuade her again, a little maid reported outside the door, "Old lady, the second master is back."

"Invite him to come in quickly." The old lady immediately regained her spirits when she heard her son's return, she hoped that her son would not let him enter the house, so she quickly asked, "But have you found a good doctor?"

The man insisted on bowing to his mother, and then responded gently: "Mother, don't worry, I heard some rumors in the market when I went out today. It seems that there is a doctor who is very good at pediatrics in Sanli Village in the south, and my son will invite someone to the house tomorrow. Brother Kun, take a look."

"Doctor?" The old lady felt very disappointed, her brows became more worried, and she complained: "Most of these rural people are cheating people out of money, I'm afraid few of them have real skills."

The man had been running outside for a day, and his warm and handsome face was full of exhaustion. Hearing what his mother said, he still patiently explained: "Mother, don't worry, it is said that this doctor is very capable, and the people in the villages all over the world are very talented. They all went to her to see a doctor, and the medicine was almost cured. A few days ago, there was a child with diarrhea. When it was sent, it was almost silent, but the doctor rescued the child with a dose of medicine, and it was spread around the county. Over and over, under the reputation, there must be three points of ability. My son invited her to come and see Brother Kun. If the prescription is not suitable for the disease, just don’t give it to Brother Kun. If it works, Brother Kun will take less. bitter."

The old lady reluctantly nodded her head when she heard her son's words made sense.Perhaps she had hope, and she regained some energy, and then she thought of caring for her son, "Are you tired after walking for a day? Go wash up and eat, you have to go out tomorrow."

"Mother, don't worry, my son is not tired. I'll go see Brother Kun right now, and then it's not too late to rest."

"Okay, you go."

"Mother also rested earlier, and I will let someone take care of Brother Kun's place."

The mother and son said a few more words before they dispersed.

The old mama waited on the old lady to remove the hairpin, and after helping her to go to bed, she knelt by the bed and fanned her lightly while laughing: "Old lady, you are really lucky, not to mention how smart the young master is, Even the second master is filial. After some time, the young master will recover, and the second master will remarry and give birth to seven or eight young masters and Miss Sun. Our Earl's Mansion will be full of excitement."

The old lady also had a happy face when she heard it, but then she remembered something, and her expression dimmed again.

"The second child is good everywhere, but the relationship between husband and wife is a little shallower."

The old nanny lowered her head halfway, a look of joy flashed in her old eyes, and she took the opportunity to say: "The old lady is worrying too much, the second master is such a character, it is not easy to find a good marriage, take ten thousand steps back and say, the second I don't want to marry a wife in the short term, so it's better to take a good concubine to serve by my side first. Maybe I will give birth to a white and fat young master for the second master. When the time comes, the red luan star of the second master will also move, and then I will marry a wife and have a baby. Wouldn’t a legitimate son be better? Isn’t there a saying called throwing bricks to attract jade? This concubine is a brick, and the serious second grandmother is jade. When the time comes, the second master will enjoy the blessings of everyone, and our Earl’s Mansion will also be able to flourish and be lively. , how nice it is."

The old lady was moved when she heard it, but when she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the unusual eagerness on the old mother's face, so she changed her words again, "Your words are also reasonable, let's talk about it later."

The old mother had hoped to bring up the matter of her granddaughter. That girl is also a high-minded girl. She has taken a fancy to the second master. How many times have she cried to her? Today is an excellent opportunity. Let go, she can't continue talking brazenly, otherwise she will offend the master, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

Thinking in this way, she quickly stopped her thoughts, and fanned for a while, and then retreated when she saw that the master was fast asleep.

Unexpectedly, just as she withdrew, the old lady opened her eyes, stared at the four landscape screens at the door for a long time before sighing: "My Earl's Mansion has a century-old foundation, and I have never done anything that angers others. My son is also a good-looking talent. Why? Is it because the relationship between the husband and wife is weak, and you can’t marry a wife and have children in the name of restraining your wife? Brother Kun is also weak, so is it true that this huge Earl’s Mansion is going to be cheaper and three bedrooms?"

The voice was long, the ending lingered for a long time, and the spring breeze running in through the window to play was heartbroken...

In a small courtyard in the southwest corner of the compound, a couple were sitting opposite each other having a drink.The man is fat, and the fat pigs in the circle are not as fat as him. It is obvious that he likes to eat, drink and have fun. Although he is covered with plain brocade, his hair is tied with gold hairpins, and the fingers holding the wine glass are covered with three or five. A gold ring, under the candlelight, it is really glittering and dazzling.

And the woman who smiled and raised her hand to pour him wine is also a woman who deeply understands the principle of husband and wife. She is dressed in a red brocade dress, with five or six gold hairpins inserted in all directions on her head, pendants inlaid with gemstones on her ears, and pendants on her wrists. There are also gold bracelets jingling chaotically, it is simply a moving gold mountain.

The couple had been eating and drinking for a while, and they were both a little drunk. The woman laughed so hard that she looked at the courtyard door and curled her lips from time to time, "Oh, I said, third master, you should drink a few more glasses. Few days left to live, I went to listen to it today, I coughed so much that I was about to spit out my internal organs, the old woman was so worried that she could kill flies, and the second child was busy looking for a doctor outside. You Said, it’s not easy for them, where can I find a good doctor in this poor mountain and remote place, and I’m not going to see the King of Hades in the end.”

"That's right, I told them about this, but it's a pity they didn't appreciate it, and said I'm vicious. Huh, I'm smart, and I see it through." The fat man took a sip of the wine in his glass, and waved a stick as thick as a carrot indiscriminately. Finger yelled: "If you don't listen to me, there will be times when they will regret it."

"Of course, our lord is the smartest. When the tuberculosis ghost sees the King of Hades, and the second child will not be able to marry a wife, the Earl's Mansion will fall on the lord. At that time, any of our three sons will be able to do it." My son, this Earl's Mansion is our family's world."

"Haha!" The fat man laughed triumphantly, the couple drank another pot of wine, and then ordered the maid to clean up the wine table, and then fell asleep.

In the dream, there is nothing but the state of the scenery after inheriting the earl's mansion, the beauty is drooling.It's a pity that they didn't know that God had smuggled a white and fat girl here long ago, and their dreams were destined to be shattered...

Originally, Granny Wu planned to go up the mountain to pick some medicinal materials, but unfortunately the fog in the mountains was much heavier than usual when she got up early, and it looked like spring rain was about to fall.

Su Yuan was worried that Granny Wu would get caught in the rain on the mountain, so she stopped Granny Wu. Granny Wu had no choice but to understand her kindness, so she pulled out two old dresses and prepared to change them for Su Yuan to change.

Su Yuan washed the dirty clothes in a basin and used up all the rice porridge she drank in the morning. She couldn't bear the greed, so after asking her mother-in-law for instructions, she took a kitchen knife and prepared to kill a rabbit for tooth sacrifice.

The two rabbits were confined for a few days, they ate and drank well, and they grew fatter and fatter. At this moment, they didn't realize that their lives were about to be lost. Seeing Su Yuan approaching, they thought they had grass to eat again, and jumped up and down. Come here, the three-petal mouth keeps moving, how cute it is.

Holding the kitchen knife in his hand, Su Yuan couldn't fall down, so he could only crouch in front of the cage with a bitter face and mutter, "Brother Rabbit, let's discuss it. I'll feed you a few more handfuls of grass. Can you support yourself to death? It's better than that." Beheaded by me, I don't have to feel bad about it. You can always get a quota of dead ghosts when you go to Lord Yan, okay?"

Rabbits can't speak, can't understand human language, so naturally they won't respond.

But someone outside the yard suddenly laughed out loud. Su Yuan was so startled that she held up a kitchen knife and jumped up. Turning her head, she saw a master and two servants standing outside the courtyard wall made of wooden boards. There were three people in total, two of them The servant's face turned red, and it was obvious that they were the ones who laughed.

Although there was a smile on the male lead's face, his handsome and elegant appearance made people feel friendly at first sight, and even vaguely familiar, and she didn't feel that he was being ridiculed.

Su Yuan stared blankly for a moment, wondering where he had seen this person before.

It was one of the servants who screamed first, "Ah, didn't this girl get from the ruffian that day..."

Mou Yi glanced over coldly, stopped the servant, and then looked at the plump and pretty girl with some surprise.In the evening of that day, he heard that his nephew had another cough, so he hurried back and happened to save the girl on the way. It was just a matter of little effort, but he didn't expect to meet again today.

At this moment, Su Yuan finally remembered the three masters and servants of Mou Yi, so he threw away the kitchen knife in his hand in surprise, stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and thanked him first, "Brother, I was living in the wilderness that day, and I haven't thanked you yet." Thank you so much for your help.”

Seeing that she was not proficient in bowing her head and saluting, Mou Yi's eyes flashed with suspicion, but his hands were vain, and he responded warmly: "Miss, you are polite, but it's just a matter of raising your hands, there is really no need to do so."

"Brother's smooth move has helped me a lot. If you hadn't put me at the entrance of the village, I wouldn't have been able to find my mother-in-law. I don't know where I would end up suffering at this time."

What Su Yuan said was not polite words, every time she thinks about the events of that day, the more she thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes. If she didn't meet Mou Yi's carriage, she really doesn't know where she would be now. Thinking of meeting again today, she is really happy.

"Brother, are you looking for my mother-in-law?"

Mou Yi nodded, glanced at the empty yard, and asked: "My nephew has some minor illnesses. I heard that Granny Wu is very skilled in medicine, so I came here to visit."

"My mother-in-law is at home, please come in and sit down, brother."

Su Yuan opened the courtyard door a little more, and led Mou Yi into the house.

Granny Wu heard the commotion and went to the door to check, and frowned slightly when she saw Mou Yi's rich clothes.

Su Yuan didn't notice it, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, this elder brother, no, this young master is here to invite you to visit the doctor."

Mou Yi bowed his hands and saluted, and then replied: "Excuse me, your old man is Granny Wu. Mou is from the Mou family in the north of the city. My little nephew has been coughing for a long time, so I come here to ask my mother-in-law to visit the doctor. If my little nephew recovers, I will thank you with a generous gift." .”

"Young Master Mou is old, please come in and serve tea."

Granny Wu responded lightly, and invited Mou Yi in sideways.Mou Yi turned his head to signal the two servants to stay outside the door, and then followed Granny Wu into the main room.

Su Yuan ran to the kitchen to make another pot of hot tea, and when she brought it into the room, she was listening to Granny Wu asking about her illness, so she poured tea for the two of them and stood aside to listen carefully.

Seeing that Mou Yixian treated his nephew very well and knew the illness very clearly, when he spoke, his brows were full of enthusiasm, which made Su Yuan feel a little closer to him.

Seeing that Granny Wu didn't know whether she was embarrassing her illness or some other considerations, she didn't speak for a while after hearing this, Su Yuan couldn't help being impatient, she shook her arm lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, saving people is like putting out a fire. If your old man can bear it, you can take a trip, Brother Mou helped me before, and I haven't had a chance to repay it..."

"How did you help me?" Grandma Wu didn't know that Su Yuan met a hooligan when she first arrived, and after asking, she felt that this was not the time to go into details, so she gave her a reproachful look, and then her heart moved again. Remember an important thing.

"It's my honor that Mr. Mou thinks highly of my little tricks, but the young master of the Mou family is a noble man, and the old man often treats his neighbors in the countryside with rough methods. sin, so..."

Mou Yi heard Granny Wu's refusal, so she got up quickly and said: "Grandma Wu's words are wrong. Doctors are parents, no matter their status is high or low, they always eat whole grains. The mother-in-law just treats my next nephew as an ordinary child and treats it. .As long as my mother-in-law does her best, no matter whether she recovers or not, I will be grateful."

What he said was sincere, and he never used force to overwhelm others just because Granny Wu was an old country woman, it was really hard to refuse.

Su Yuan really wanted to say that if her mother-in-law didn't want to make a move, she could go and have a look. If she could help, it would be repaying the kindness of the day.

It's a pity that Granny Wu grabbed her hand tightly, and every time she wanted to speak, the back of her hand was pinched so hot, so she could only bow her head and pretend to be a quail.

Seeing that the fire was about to start, Granny Wu sighed, pretending to be distressed, and replied: "Since Mr. Mou trusts me so much, it would be unreasonable for me to evade it. But the old man has something to say first, if the old man is incompetent, he can't cure the young man." The young master's cough disease, of course he dare not accept any thank-you fee for the consultation, but if the old man's method works, how about asking Mr. Mou to do a small thing for the old man as a thank-you gift?"

Mou Yi raised his black eyebrows, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he still asked: "Mother-in-law, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will never shirk."

Granny Wu turned her head and glanced at Su Yuan, her expression became more loving, she finally patted her tender little hand, and sighed: "This girl came from her hometown to join my old lady, and accidentally lost her household registration and guide on the way. Immediately, a servant from the county came down to inquire. I was afraid that this girl would be embarrassing, so I wanted to make up another household registration for her to my house, but I couldn't find anyone to help me, so I had to ask the young master. If the young master is in trouble, the old man will naturally It's not like I can't do my best to see the young master, but if the young master raises his hand, it can be solved, and I hope the young master can help."

Hearing this, Su Yuan subconsciously hugged Granny Wu's arm tightly. She thought that Granny Wu was putting on airs to ask for more consultation fees, but she didn't expect that Granny Wu's thoughts were all for her, which really made her feel extremely guilty. I am extremely grateful.

"Grandma, you don't have to be like this..."

"Don't interrupt this matter, my old lady has her own plan, you just need to study medicine well."

Granny Wu interrupted Su Yuan's words, turned to Mou Yi at last, and said, "Maybe Mr. Mou agrees to me?"

Mou Yi glanced at Su Yuan from the corner of his eyes, and the clear big eyes on his originally white and tender face were a little red, and a strange pain flashed in his heart, as if this face should always have a bright smile on it, the word delicate and pitiful Neither suits her...

"Okay, no matter whether the consultation goes well or not, I will reapply for Miss Wu's household registration."

"Ah, my surname is not Wu, my surname is Su, and my name is Su Yuan."

Su Yuan heard the words, subconsciously retorted, and was so angry that Granny Wu really wanted to shut up the silly girl.At this time, shouldn't you be happy to thank you? Why do you care about who is named?

"The old man will thank the young master for his generous help on Su Yatou's behalf. It is not too late. The old body will change clothes and go to the city with the young master."

Granny Wu got up and saluted, and finally pulled the embarrassed Su Yuan into the inner room.

Su Yuan nimbly took out the dress for Granny Wu and put it on, and while helping to fasten the belt, she flattered her and said, "Grandma, thank you for thinking of me, I didn't even know I had to apply for household registration."

Granny Wu combed her hair again, turned her head to stare at her and said, "Apart from thinking about killing rabbits and eating them all day, what else do you remember? Take advantage of this time, why don't you go through those books and read them?" See if there is any good way to treat the chronic cough, so as not to be thrown into the city for a while."

Su Yuan smirked, stuck out her tongue, and really ran to read the books that accompanied her to this time and space.

There is a kind of luck in this world to have a chatty best friend. For her, Fang Ling collected a lot of books on children's diseases and brought them home for her, urging her to make up for it. I didn't expect it to come in handy now.If there is a day to see each other again, Su Yuan will definitely take out all her small coffers to treat her girlfriends to a big meal.It's a pity that there are more than ten thousand miles apart now, and this gratitude may be delayed for some years and months.

Su Yuan sighed inwardly, but his subordinates were not idle. They found a few cases and prescriptions that were similar to the young master of the Mou family's illness and copied them down, and put them in his bosom before helping Granny Wu to go out.

The Mou family is rich, and today they came to see a doctor again, so they changed into a black lacquered flat-topped carriage, which was much better than the green cloth pony carriage when Su Yuan first met Mou Yi.

Su Yuan was curious, and kept looking at the carriage as soon as she got into the carriage. She even wanted to see why the teacup on the small desk didn't shake due to the bumping of the carriage.

As a result, needless to say, Granny Wu rolled her eyes again.She stuck out her little tongue in embarrassment, when she wanted to make a face but was caught by Mou Yi, her face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head in a panic and dared not lift it up again.

The smile in Mou Yi's eyes was even stronger, and he felt strange in his heart. Although this girl was not well-behaved, her body was round, her appearance was not beautiful, and her words and deeds were still innocent and lively like a child, but people felt warm when they saw her. , even if he doesn't usually have a smiling temper, he still can't help laughing every time he sees her.Is this girl a natural charmer?

Sanli Village is only a dozen miles away from the county seat, and the Mou family used a horse-drawn cart to enter the city very quickly.Granny Wu heard the soldiers guarding the city warmly greeting the servants who drove the chariot, and a look of joy flashed in her half-closed eyes.She originally made the request rashly because she saw Mou Yi dressed in rich and noble clothes, but she was still a little apprehensive in her heart, fearing that the Mou family would not be able to handle the matter, but now it seems that she made the right bet.

Just because the soldiers guarding the city are so polite, one can tell that the Mou family is not an ordinary family. They must have some contacts in the county government. Su Yuan's household registration can be regarded as settled.

When she got to the gate of Mou's house, Granny Wu got down from the carriage, and when she looked up to see the gatehouse of Mou's house, she felt even more happy.

Although Wanshi City is located in the northern part of the Chilong Kingdom, it is considered a remote place, but when foreign enemies invaded, the brave soldiers from all directions were stationed here in rotation for more than ten years. The heirs of the family came to inherit, not to mention that there are as many rich and noble people in the city as crucian carp crossing the river, at least it is much more prosperous than ordinary cities, and the heritage is also profound.

But in this county town, there are two stone lions standing in front of the gate, the vermilion gate is nailed with copper rivets, and there are not many families with a gate tower one foot high. From this, it can be seen that the Mou family is definitely a family of aristocratic family, the leader of martial arts .

Mou Yi saw that Granny Wu's expression was only slightly startled for a moment before returning to normal, and that Su Yuan's eyes showed no awe except curiosity, and his doubts deepened in his heart. No matter how you look at it, you don't look like a countryman who has never seen the world.

A group of people quickly entered the inner courtyard of the second gate. A maidservant wearing a green shirt and skirt came forward to salute with a smile, and said with a smile: "The second master is back, the old lady has been waiting in the flower hall early in the morning, please come back as soon as you come back." past."

Mou Yi nodded, turned around and invited Granny Wu and Su Yuan to go with him.The big maid gave way to the side of the road with her head half down, and looked at the two of them curiously. Seeing that they were wearing cotton dresses, and the hairpin rings were not as delicate as her own, she couldn't help showing a look of contempt on her face.

Su Yuan happened to turn around and saw clearly, thought for a while but didn't speak.The world has always only respected clothes and not people. The dogs of the rich and powerful are probably worth three cents more than the poor and the common people.

Everyone walked through the corridor and soon entered the small flower hall.

Mrs. Mou changed into a plain brocade blouse embroidered with five blessings, a pine-colored horse-face skirt, and her forehead was still tied on her head. She was dressed in a very luxurious way.Xu Shi was really anxious about her grandson's illness. She was holding a teacup in her hand, but her eyes kept looking at the door. When she saw her son bringing someone in, she almost stood up with joy, but it was a pity that she had to see Granny Wu and Su Yuan clearly. , the look obviously brought disappointment.

"Second, is this the magic doctor you invited?"

Mou Yi bowed his head in salute, and finally responded: "Mother, these are Granny Wu and her niece Miss Su, who came here specially for Brother Kun's cough."

Mrs. Mou nodded but didn't say anything else. The old nanny who was waiting at the side glanced at Granny Wu, but also lowered her head and pretended to be busy, and she didn't seem to invite them to sit down for tea.

Annoyance flashed across Mou Yi's eyes, he turned around and personally invited Granny Wu to take a seat, and finally invited Su Yuan.

Su Yuan waved her hands and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Mou, I'll just stand behind my mother-in-law."

Her voice was soft and sweet, which made Mrs. Mou turn her head to look. Seeing her ruddy complexion, soft appearance, round figure, smiling and talking, she asked, "Is this girl nice?" Looks, the genius doctor is really lucky."

Granny Wu smiled faintly, and half leaned forward to respond: "The old lady is flattering, but she's just a farm girl, so I don't deserve such a compliment from you."

Mrs. Mou, on the other hand, liked Su Yuan more and more, so she asked her to come forward and look at Su Yuan for a long while, and finally sighed, "I'm not lucky. I gave birth to two boys. If I had a daughter back then, I'm afraid I will have such a daughter now." As big as you are, why don't you even have someone to speak your heart to?"

The old mother laughed and said: "The old lady is not afraid that the second master will be angry when she says this. In the future, the second grandma will be filial to you when she comes in."

Mrs. Mou glanced at her son with a pale face, her face darkened for a moment, and she changed the topic, "If the genius doctor is not tired, why don't you go and see Brother Kun first, this child coughed for a long time last night, looking at Tai Thanks for your hard work."

Granny Wu nodded and stood up. Su Yuan took the opportunity to withdraw the hand held by Mrs. Mou, and stepped forward to help her to go out.

Mrs. Mou really loved her grandson so much that she didn't even want to let him live in a courtyard alone, so she put him directly in the wing room of her own yard, so everyone just turned around the corridor and entered the wing room after a few steps.
