ancient female doctor

Chapter 268
Qing Zhu took Lian Er for lunch, just after she came out of the restaurant, she took the reins from the little second-hand man, when she saw the firewood seller in a shabby gown standing outside the restaurant, not only did the firewood he was carrying disappear, Even the carrying pole for firewood was gone.

Seeing the green bamboo coming out, the man took two awkward steps forward, walked up to the green bamboo, and took out a worn handkerchief from his pocket. After opening it, there was a small pile of copper coins and a few broken pieces of silver inside the handkerchief. Not a load of firewood can be sold.

The man carefully counted eight coins out of the handkerchief, pinched it in the palm of his hand, rewrapped the handkerchief, and put it back in his arms, then handed the counted eight coins to Qingzhu with both hands, saying: "Tired I'm very sorry for the long wait, girl."

"You..." Looking at the eight coins handed over, Qingzhu really didn't know what to say, but seeing the serious look on the man's face, Qingzhu had no choice but to accept it. Those little copper coins.

Seeing that Qingzhu received the copper coins, the man didn't say much, he made a bow, and said: "I will take my leave." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Qingzhu shook her head, sighed slightly in her heart, only felt that the copper coin in her hand was much heavier than usual, in the end, she still didn't put the copper coin in the purse with other money, but took a handkerchief by itself Come out and pack carefully.

"Master, why don't you put these copper coins together with other copper coins?" Niu Lian'er raised her head and looked at Qingzhu and asked.

"Because this is not an ordinary copper coin." Qingzhu looked at Niu Lianer and said with a smile.

"Not ordinary copper coins?" Niu Lian'er frowned slightly, repeated Qing Zhu's words in a low voice, then shook her head, and said, "Lian'er doesn't understand."

"This is a person's character." Qingzhu patted the copper coin wrapped in his palm, looked at Lian'er and said.

"Character?" Lian'er frowned even tighter, shook her head again, and said, "Lian'er still doesn't understand."

Qingzhu simply squatted down so that Niu Lian'er could look into her eyes, half-supported Niu Lian'er's shoulder, smiled, and said: "Although that person was a bit pedantic just now, he didn't avoid what he should do just because he was poor. Even if the biggest fault is not on him. Moreover, he is a man of faith, he said he would bring us the money, and he took it for us.”

"You know, although we haven't left this town, we are not in the previous place anymore. He can wait for us outside the restaurant, which means that he asked all the way here, and then he didn't come in to disturb our meal, but just waited quietly outside. , and wait for us to come out. So, Master said, that person is a very virtuous person.”

"Oh, so that's the case. Lian'er understands that Lian'er will also be a person of virtue in the future." Niu Lian'er nodded thoughtfully, looked at Qingzhu and said with a sweet smile.

"Okay, Lian'er, but we can't wait for the future, we have to start from now, understand?" Qingzhu said, patted Lian'er's head, and said: "So, Lian'er can't do it like this morning. , I just heard Master say that I will buy candied haws for other children, so I was not happy, and I just hid in the back and was depressed."

"Ah?" Niu Lian'er opened her mouth in panic. She didn't expect Qing Zhu to see her performance in her eyes, but seeing that Qing Zhu still had a smile on her face, she wasn't so scared anymore. Lowering her head, she murmured, "Lian'er was wrong, it won't happen again in the future."

"Okay, Lian'er is really good." Qingzhu said, touched Lian'er's head again, and smiled at her in relief.

"Master isn't angry?" Lian'er raised her head and looked at Qing Zhu with wide eyes.

"Everyone may make mistakes. It's just a trivial matter. As long as Lian'er knows that she made a mistake and doesn't make a mistake in the future, then the master will not be happy in time, so naturally she won't be angry." Qing Zhu shook her head, looked at Lian'er and said .

"Then Lian'er can rest assured, thank you Master, Lian'er will definitely change in the future." Niu Lian'er was obviously relieved, looked at Qingzhu, and said seriously.

"Yeah." Qing Zhu smiled again, stood up and held Lian'er with one hand, and the horse with the other, and walked forward slowly, looking at the direction, it was the direction where the man left just now.

However, Qingzhu didn't intend to go this way on purpose, it's just that she hasn't visited this way yet.

Not long after walking, there was a sudden commotion ahead, Qingzhu took Lian'er over to have a look, but it was a woman with a sick face pulling the man before, ready to walk to a pawn shop.

"San Niang, don't be like this. You can pawn the jade pendant. I will redeem it for you when you have money in the future. You can go to the pharmacy with me to get the medicine first, okay?" Pulling, he looked a little embarrassed, but there was no impatient look on his face. Although he didn't move forward, he was cautious, stretched out the other hand, and supported the woman weakly, with a look of fear that the woman would fall Inverted appearance.

"Ahem... No, Dalang, I just caught a little bit of wind and cold, it's okay, I held it out, and it passed. That jade pendant was left to you by my parents, and I said it would be a family heirloom , I can’t just pawn it casually..." The woman shook her head, coughed lightly, and stubbornly wanted to go into the pawn shop.

"San Niang, this thing in the pawn shop can be redeemed at the original price, not to mention... let alone..." The man looked at the woman and stammered a little.

"What's more? Dalang, did you do something just now?" The woman stopped nervously, looked at the man and asked.

"I, I just lost eight cents..." the man looked at the woman and said.

"I paid someone eight cents... Well, what should I do, but that jade pendant really can't be used... Either, or Sanlang, or, let's go back and take my hairpin, take the hairpin Go pawn and redeem the jade pendant again, do you agree?" The woman said, pulling the man forward again.

"No, that hairpin is the only thought left to you by your mother-in-law. How can you be it?" The man shook his head, firmly rejected the woman's proposal, and finally said softly, "San Niang, believe me!" , I will work hard to chop firewood to earn money and redeem the jade pendant."

"Don't scare me. I saw the firewood you picked out in the morning in the yard. The firewood was not sold at all. Besides, you are a scholar. How can you do the rough work of chopping firewood? Done, redeem the jade pendant, and when I get better later, I will take on more work to do, and I will be able to redeem the hairpin my mother left me, Dalang, just listen to me. "The woman said, her face suddenly turned red, and then she coughed hard.

"San Niang, San Niang, are you okay?" The man's face became more and more tense, he patted the woman's back carefully, and said while patting: "Don't hold on, the hairpin is pawned, and the jade pendant is pawned." The money, at most, can redeem the jade pendant. There is no money left to buy medicine for you, besides, our family doesn’t even have rice, so we always need money to eat.”

"It's okay, Da Lang. I'll go to Mrs. Liu's house when I get back, and ask her to find me a job. I can always earn money to buy rice." The woman said intermittently while coughing.

"No, you are so sick, what job are you looking for? If you want to find a job, I will look for it. I am the head of our family. I have the final say. You go to the pharmacy with me to see a doctor and get medicine." As the man said, he broke away from the woman holding his hand with his backhand, and changed his hands to support the woman, forcing her to support her, and walked to the other side.

When he turned around, he saw Qingzhu standing behind him at some point.
