Beauty is too weak to be bullied

Chapter 58 It's All Because of Unwillingness

Du Qingtan nodded slightly: "Mrs. Xie for your compliment."

Wu Ba Niang sighed: "I didn't expect you to cook so well. After Zhuang Shilang grew up, it was the first time I saw him eat so well."

"Madam is right. In fact, Zhuang Shilang doesn't have a stubborn illness, and it has nothing to do with his parents. The main cause is too picky eaters. If he eats a little of everything, he won't get this disease."

Du Qingtan's words won Wu Ba Niang's favor.

She said with emotion: "You must have heard those rumors. His father and I always wondered if it was because we didn't cultivate our personal morality, and that's why we suffered retribution."

Du Qingtan said: "That's a bad word. There are a lot of bad people in the world, and I haven't seen a few of them get retribution."

"That's right." Wu Ba Niang was touched, her eyes flickered slightly, and she hesitated to speak.

Du Qingtan blinked her eyes expectantly. Usually this kind of expression is asking for something. She was ready, but Wu Ba Niang turned her face away.

"Wu Niang, according to what you said, Zhuang Shilang can recover as long as he eats well. I think he would still like to eat the food you cooked. How about you come to live with my parents and take care of his body full-time?"

Wu Ba Niang set the price very proudly: "I know your family is poor and weak, and you are in urgent need of money. It is not easy for you as a young lady to show your face outside to ask for a living. I will not treat you lightly. In addition to providing board and lodging, I will give you 5000 yuan a month." How about money?"

Du Qingtan didn't say anything, and calculated silently.

At this time, the price of rice in Chang'an was 15 coins a bucket, and 5000 yuan was 333 buckets of rice.

Converted to 6 catties per bucket of rice in this dynasty, that is the income of 2000 catties of rice.

Judging from the current situation of the Du family, it is indeed not bad, after all, they used to be bent for a few hundred pennies.

But if you look at her ability, it's still a little bit worse.

It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, and the reputation has not yet been established, so it is really not easy to ask for a high price.

Forget it, let's talk about it later when we see initial results.

She was about to answer, but Wu Ba Niang said unhappily: "6000! No more! If your method is really useful, it will go up!"

"..."

Du Qingtan immediately found Wu Ba Niang pleasing to the eye, who doesn't love a bold and generous benefactor?

But she didn't look particularly happy, she just nodded lightly: "I will let my wife know what value for money is."

Wu Ba Niang smiled, and said: "You want to stay longer, let's see what's missing in the guest room, and I'll make it up for you."

Du Qingtan went on naturally: "I have no other requirements, just a separate small kitchen and a set of customized knives."

"It's all for you!" Wu Ba Niang understood.

As for the secret technique, it must not be stolen by others.

Du Qingtan was very satisfied: "I will send over the drawings of the knives later, and I will trouble Madam."

If she wanted to stay here for a long time, she would definitely have to go home to explain something, and then get some luggage and clothes, so she left early and went out.

Wu Ba Niang said very caringly: "I will send you a car."

Both parties are very sincere in cooperation, which can be regarded as a joyous experience.

Du Qingtan walked out of the room, but saw two young women standing in the corridor, one was holding a boy about two or three years old, the other was leading a boy about five or six years old.

Seeing her coming out, they all stared at her curiously. The five or six-year-old boy whispered: "Auntie, this sister..."

The woman quickly covered his mouth, and smiled apologetically at Du Qingtan.

Du Qingtan didn't understand their identities, so he just nodded as a gesture.

After getting into the car, Cai Lan began to report the situation: "Those people just now are Zhuang Shilang's concubine mother and concubine brother."

"You are very good. Let's work for others, don't meddle in other people's business, but also have good ears and eyes, and know what's in your mind."

Du Qingtan praised Cailan: "When I get my wages, I will give you 200 Wen as private money."

Cailan was very happy: "The servant girl knows that with Wu Niang, I can have meat to eat!"

She eloquently told Du Qingtan what she had learned.

Because of Zhuang Shilang's night blindness, Wu Baniang and his wife dare not have another child, for fear that another sick child will be born, which is really shameful.

But the Xue family is a big family with a head and a face, so naturally they can't just have a sick child as the heir.

So Xue E, Wu Ba Niang's husband and Zhuang Shilang's father, took in two more concubines.

The two concubines are very competitive, and they both gave birth to sons, and they are very healthy and strong.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

It seemed to be Wu Ba Niang's problem alone, so she was even more afraid to have children, and because of this, she alienated the relationship between husband and wife.

The so-called toughness, meanness, and disgust are all because of unwillingness.

Du Qingtan instantly understood Wu Ba Niang's hesitation to speak before.

So curing Zhuang Shilang is of great significance!

And it is also possible to continue to develop another business - to take care of Wu Ba Niang's body!
What a broad road!
She patted Cailan on the shoulder vigorously, and boasted: "Very good, I will reward you with another 100 Wen. If you do more meritorious service, you can continue to reward."

Cai Lan jumped up excitedly: "So, I have 300 Wen? My own money?"

"Well, you're alone." Du Qingtan thought she was so cute, so she couldn't help but smile.

Cai Lan began to count with her fingers: "15 Wen is 1 Dou of rice, 300 Wen is 20 Dou of rice, enough for our family to eat for a month!"

"Just count yourself, and I will support your family in the future."

Du Qingtan looked at her tattered dress and said, "I'll take you to add two more clothes later. When you go out, you must be decent."

"Wu Niang..." Cai Lan leaned against her body, her eyes were red.

Mrs. Yang didn't sleep well all night. When she heard that Du Qingtan was going to live with Xue's parents, she was the first to disagree: "That's not okay! It's not because of relatives, it's not appropriate for you, a young lady who hasn't left the court, to move in for a long time. Last night I I can't sleep because of worry..."

Du Qingtan said: "Auntie is worried about being gossiped?"

Yang said: "Exactly, you are young and don't understand the importance of fame to a woman. If you lose your reputation, let alone practicing medicine, you will be disliked even doing needlework. I will go with you later and separate from his family." Make it clear. That's it!"

Du Qingtan was speechless with anger.

By the way, she went there for a day and a night, and she didn't see what the hostess looked like, so how did she lose her reputation?

Yang thought she was unwilling, and said ruthlessly: "I am the head of the family, I have the final say! Compared to letting you be wronged and ruined by someone poking your spine for a lifetime, I would rather go hungry and poor!"

Cailan looked at Du Qingtan nervously, not knowing what to do.

"Auntie can go and say hello to Xue's family." Du Qingtan decided to retreat.

In many cases, the reason for objection is because of ignorance.

If the eldest aunt wants to express the care and love of the elders, then go.

So they didn't pack any luggage, and got in Xue's car and turned back.

Wu Ba Niang was very surprised when she saw Mrs. Yang: "Who are you?"

Mrs. Yang greeted her with neither humble nor overbearing, and cut straight to the point: "Thanks to Madam for believing in our Wu Niang, she is willing to let her see your son's doctor. The treatment is so generous, and the little lady is very grateful. But it's just..."

　The struggles of different dynasties are not the same, and the Tang Dynasty is the main one here.

　　That's right, there are more than 560 monthly tickets, but because I'm too busy, I haven't saved the manuscript, and I need to add it later.
