Jinyi Music

Chapter 597

After waiting for a while, footsteps sounded, and there was a creaking sound in the wing room, and Fu Geer dodged, and the person dodged to the back of the courtyard door. This room pretended to have just washed the dishes, and put the bowls on the wooden table against the wall. , turned around and saw the little lady came out with her head down, holding the broken bowl in her hand, and her fair face on the left was flushed, she still had a cold face, and the sadness in her eyes could only be seen. Brother secretly sighed in his heart, but he pretended not to see, turned around and took the medicine jar to wash.

When he came out again, he saw that the little lady was looking down at the medicine dregs in the medicine pot, and she was about to fetch water again, she obviously wanted to fry the medicine dregs again.

Fu Geer remained calm, and cupped his hands at her,

"Thank you, farewell!"

Then he turned around and went out, when he saw the shop assistant outside, he took out two copper coins,
"Brother, this is firewood money..."

The guy shook his head and waved his hands,
"No need, the shopkeeper of our house has always been kind and helpful. There are always people decocting medicine here, and the money is never collected!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Geer turned to salute the doctor sitting in the hall,

"Thank you doctor!"

The old lady smiled at him,

"Little brother, did you come to Beijing to rush for the exam?"

Fogger lowered his hands and said,
"Exactly, when I first came to the capital, the weather suddenly changed, and my body couldn't stand it, so I caught a cold..."

After chatting with the old doctor in this way, I realized that this kind old doctor is surnamed Jane. He has been practicing medicine for generations, and he is also kind and generous. He often does not charge the poor for medical consultations. Therefore, the small medical clinic seems to be doing well, but in fact it does not make much money. For silver, old doctor Jane and one of his apprentice buddies can barely make ends meet!

Fu Geer asked about the mother and daughter living in the backyard again, old doctor Jane sighed,

"People who came to the capital from other places said they were looking for relatives, but they couldn't find them after three months. The mother was ill again, and the daughter took good care of her. I just don't know if there is any enmity between the mother and daughter. The mother I often beat and scold my daughter, we are outsiders, so I don't want to persuade her too much!"

In fact, he also persuaded him, but that mother even scolded him. He, an old man who is almost seventy years old, was mixed with a young lady who was not as old as others. Where did he put his old face?
Old doctor Jian had only seen such rude women in his life, if he hadn't looked at them pitifully, he really wanted to let go of them!
Fu Geer nodded when he heard this, took out a bank note of ten taels of silver from his purse and put it on the case.
"Old doctor, I donate these money to their mother and daughter, and I ask the doctor to continue to take them in and provide them with medical treatment..."

Seeing this, Dr. Jian was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized, his brows furrowed,

"Young man, you are a person who wants to take the imperial examination, and you should put your mind on the imperial examination. That little lady is too young to be a hairpin, so please restrain your thoughts of chasing beauty!"

It's no wonder that Dr. Jian misunderstood, the little lady was born really well, and she usually hides in the backyard of her own medical clinic, but she was inevitably seen by the patients who came for consultation, and some people tried to inquire about it, but Dr. Jian told her Blocking back, I didn't expect this gentle boy to have such thoughts. It's really a waste of reading the sage's book!
Not only was Fu Geer not annoyed when he heard the words, on the contrary, he respected the old doctor even more, so he waved his hand and said,

"The doctor misunderstood! You can keep this bank note. Please don't mention this matter to the mother and daughter. It's just you and me who know about it!"

Doctor Jian originally thought that he wanted to use this excuse to show courtesy to the mother and daughter, but he didn't expect that he didn't want to show off, so he was taken aback for a moment.
"You are..."

Fogger laughed,
"It's just a moment of pity, please don't say it..."

Dr. Jian stroked his beard and nodded after thinking about it.
"it is good!"

Fu Geer thanked him with his hand, then turned and left, and returned to the sixth aunt's house, Liu Lian really asked him where he had gone, Fu Geer only said that he went to the morning market for a walk, and then bought it on the side of the road. the rice cakes for Liulian,

"Knowing that Aunt Six likes to eat, I bought it specially!"

Liu Lian was so happy that she could see her teeth but not her eyes, she took over and pulled him to sit down,
"Fuge, sit down quickly. The bone soup I boiled early this morning is the best. Just wait... Aunt Six will spoon you a bowl!"

Fu Geer sat down and drank the soup, pretending to ask casually,

"Aunt Six, has the medical clinic on the street been in business for many years?"

Liulian nodded,

"That Doctor Jian is an old doctor on this street. It is said that he has practiced medicine for three generations, and he opened a clinic here many years ago!"

After thinking about it, I asked again,

"Fu Geer is not feeling well?"

After saying that, she reached out to touch his forehead, then touched her own,
"But if you catch a cold, if you feel unwell, we will go to the old doctor Jian on the street to get medicine. His medical skills are excellent. Back then when your sixth aunt gave birth to Zhishu, it was difficult to give birth. Doctor Jian saved your sixth aunt with a few doses of medicine... "

Speaking of what happened back then, Liu Lian was talking non-stop, and Fu Geer listened quietly while drinking soup, thinking of the little lady who lived in the hospital...

The following days were as calm as water. Fu Geer spent this year in the capital, and the emperor who is now in power is also wise. These years, he has worked hard to govern and rectified the government. He has done some good things for the people, so the lives of the people have been easier in the past few years. Some, this year's New Year's Eve is also much more lively than previous years.

Fu Geer is born different from ordinary people, and he can still remember his childhood memories. Seeing the hustle and bustle of the capital now, he immediately brought back memories, and he was happy. A younger brother, a younger sister, and two elder brothers from the third aunt's family, one younger brother, and more than a dozen cousins. The older one led the younger one, huddling like that, and took to the street hugging each other.

Now the sisters of the Jia family are doing well in business. Compared with before, the family background is much richer. The pockets of the children when they go out on the street are full of copper coins. Wang Xingye of the Sanlian family is already ten years old. It was six, and Wang Xingbang was also fourteen. They consciously led their siblings out to play, so they should take care of them, and they worked hard to recommend delicious and interesting things in the capital to their cousins ​​who came from the south.

After the cousins ​​walked through a long street, everyone's hands were already stuffed, and they walked while eating. Wang Xingye was tall and tall, and although he couldn't read well, he was very strong. To clear the way for the younger siblings in the crowded crowd, pull out the crowd and point to the signboard ahead,
"That's the one...their fried cakes are the best, just wait...I'll buy some for you to try!"

Immediately burying your head and rushing forward, the person disappeared into the crowd!

Fu Geer was surrounded by a group of brothers and sisters. He struggled forward in the crowd, squeezed and squeezed, and heard someone in the crowd shouting in surprise,

"Brother Xingye, Brother Zhishu, Brother Cheng'an...you...you are here too..."

Everyone turned their heads and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl holding another five or six-year-old girl with one hand, beckoning and smiling at them,

"I was about to talk about looking for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Seeing this, Wang Xingye hurriedly led the crowd over, pulled Fuge over and said,

"Fu Geer, are these Tan'er and Dan'er from Uncle Qi's family?"

These are the two daughters of the Guan family, whom Jia You introduced into the family, and the younger son is too young, and is regarded by the Guan family as precious as jewels. The streets are crowded with people during the Chinese New Year, and the Guan family is naturally not happy. Don't worry, the youngest son is going out, and the two eldest daughters are going out to join in the fun, so she sent the two old women to follow. Tan'er and Dan'er hurried up to salute Fu Geer, and after two introductions, they met in one place, excited Talking chatteringly.

Fu Geer looks gentle and elegant on the outside, but he has a somewhat cold temperament on the inside. When there are many brothers and sisters, he finds it noisy. After walking around with him for half a day, he finds an excuse to read a book and sneaks into the bookstore.

Wang Xingye knew that this cousin was a very powerful Juren, and his status was different. When he went out, his mother specially told him to treat him well, so he didn't stop him, and let him go to the bookstore to read.

Fu Geer hid in the bookstore, and saw that there were already many scholars in long gowns and scarves on their heads. They were all gentlemen, and they all buried themselves in their books. Although there were many people in the huge bookstore, there were many It was quiet and no one made any noise.

Fu Geer paced back and forth, watching and walking, and unconsciously entered the room, and saw that there were seven or eight tables in the spacious room, and several people were already sitting at the tables and copying books. Most of the bookstores have this kind of work of copying books. There is a literati who has no money to buy books and has a good hand, so he goes to the bookstore to copy books for a living. Practicing calligraphy really kills three birds with one stone.

And the owner of the bookstore is also happy to do so. First, they can hire cheap book copyers. Second, if one of these scholars is famous on the list, their shop will also be well-known. If they can't earn it, they kill two birds with one stone.

Fu Geer glanced over, but saw a woman on the first desk at the end. In such a bookstore, it is rare for a woman to copy books, so he couldn't help but look twice, because it was used by women in the public. The veil covered the face, only revealing a pair of eyes, Fu Geer remembered well, and at a glance he saw that it was the little lady in the pharmacy.

After seeing him that day, he went to the hospital again the next day, only this time the little lady didn't show up, and he heard the voice of the old woman shouting and cursing faintly in the courtyard. Seeing her in the bookstore, I couldn't help but take a second look.

The little lady noticed that someone was looking at her, and raised her head to meet Fu Geer's eyes. She was stunned for a while and obviously recognized him. Fu Geer arched his hands at her and turned to leave. The figure disappeared behind the crowd, lowered his head and continued to copy.

Fu Geer flipped through the books in the bookstore, and unexpectedly let him see a scripture book written by foreigners in the West. He couldn't help being very interested, took it out and opened it, and on the first page was a picture of a naked man being nailed. On the wooden shelf, he couldn't help smiling,
"It looks like the books brought by those foreigners..."

Just as I was about to open it again to look inside, I was suddenly startled by a sudden scream,
"I'll treat you as a shameless little bitch!"

"Snapped……"

There was a clear sound of applause, and everyone in the room raised their heads. Fu Geer heard the voice sound familiar, and looked around. He saw that it was coming from inside. An old woman with gray hair in the room was grabbing the little lady and scolding,

"I'll call you a shameless little bitch. There's a room full of men here. Who are you trying to seduce by running here?"

The little lady knocked off the veil on her face with her slap, revealing a stunning face. The men in the room immediately showed interest when they saw it. Squeezed out of the middle, the mother and daughter inside were still arguing, but it was only the old woman who cursed in a high-pitched voice,

"If I didn't pay attention, you would come here to seduce men. You'll be flirting and coquettish all day long. Who did you hook up with...Why don't you sell it in the brothel?"

The old woman scolded harshly, with a vicious look on her face, the little lady didn't dare to answer her words, her face was miserable, tears streaming down her pointed chin, she looked so pitiful, It caused all the young and old men in the room to feel pity and pity, and some young and vigorous ones came up to persuade,

"Ma'am, we are all scholars here, please don't utter dirty words and ruin our reputation!"

The old woman was furious when she heard the words, and turned to glare at the man who spoke,

"Wow! I didn't look for you, but you jumped out by yourself. Are you an adulterer?"

After all, he looked up and down at the scholar,

"Look at your face, your body is thinner than a hemp stick, and your whole body looks poor..."

Turning around, he slapped his daughter again.

"Look... what are you hooking up with!"

In a word, his daughter was so angry that her body trembled, and the scholar's little boy turned into a liver-colored one, pointing at her and tremblingly saying,

"You...you...you...you...this shrew, spurting blood for no reason!"

How did he compete with the old woman in this passage? The old woman pointed at him with her hips crossed and scolded him. The words were so harsh that no one in the room could catch up. The scolding made the scholar pull his sleeves Covering her face, she burrowed into the crowd, the old woman was very proud of her situation, she scolded the one who had walked away, still not relieved, she turned her face and shouted at the crowd watching,

"What do you look at, are they all her adulterers?"

When everyone heard that the dirty water was going to be splashed carelessly, they all secretly thought,
"A good man doesn't fight a woman!"

At that moment, Qi Qi took a step back, not daring to compete with her, the old woman turned around and pulled her daughter out,

"Come back with me! It's embarrassing to show your face!"

The little lady had a bitter look on her face, begging hard,

"Mother...Mother, I finally found a job. Let me earn some money, which is enough for our mother and daughter to live on!"

The old woman turned around and slapped her again when she heard the words.

"Bah... What kind of job? A job selling meat? You want to sell me and send you to a brothel!"

The little lady cried until the pear blossoms were raining, and she tugged at her,

"Mother...Mother..."

The mother and daughter were making a fuss, when suddenly three or four women with strong stature rushed in, the leader saw the mother and daughter, and immediately shouted,
"Yo! Her aunt...you are sick again!"

After finishing speaking, several women came up and grabbed the old woman's hands in a hurry, found a piece of handkerchief from nowhere, blocked her mouth, and pushed her into and out of the shop like that Go, walk and talk to the crowd,
"This is our auntie. She is insane. She has fallen ill again. I'm really sorry..."

Everyone didn't like to argue with women, so they could only watch as a few women escorted her away, leaving the little lady behind crying with red eyes, she looked for the shopkeeper of the bookstore to salute,

"Shopkeeper, I'm really sorry, I... my mother disturbed your business, I'm really... sorry!"

The shopkeeper knew some of her family affairs and felt sorry for her. Hearing this, he sighed and gave her a few copper coins.
"This is your salary today, so don't come tomorrow!"

It's pity for her, but he is here for business, and if such troubles happen from time to time, how can he still do business?
The little lady also knew that the job would not be guaranteed, so she didn't dare to ask for it, so she shook her head and pushed the copper plate back.
"I'm so sorry for disturbing your business, how dare you still take your wages!"

He covered his mouth and went out crying...
