Rebirth of a prosperous doctor girl
Chapter 128
Chapter 128
Gu Chongyang watched her walk into the idyllic hut next to the rockery, so he pretended to be nonchalant and went back to admire the orchids.
Seeing a little maid guarding the orchids, Gu Chongyang beckoned her over: "Did you feed golden pheasants in your home? I saw a big golden pheasant just now, and it went to the rockery."
"No." The little maid shook her head and said, "Our family doesn't feed golden pheasants. Golden pheasants are so rare that there is nowhere to buy them."
Gu Chongyang raised his voice and said: "But I clearly saw a big golden pheasant with golden feathers on the top of its head, bright red fur on its belly that looks like fire, and a long and colorful tail. How could it be a mistake? ?”
The little maid became a little uncertain.
Ms. Gu spoke in such detail, even the colors and patterns, how could she speak so vividly if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes?Besides, Miss Gu has absolutely no need to lie to herself.
Could it be a gift that someone gave to adults recently, and I don't know it?
I'd rather believe it or not, if there really is a golden pheasant running away and I don't go looking for it, I will definitely be punished by then.
The little maid immediately threw away the things in her hand and said: "Thank you, Miss Gu, for telling the maidservant that maybe the golden pheasant at home has escaped. I will tell the women right away and ask them to help find it."
"You go, the golden pheasant is very beautiful, I want to see it again."
Their conversation was overheard by the other little girls, who were a little curious, especially Shen Suying, who was even more eager to try: "I have never seen a golden pheasant since I grew up. Since the golden pheasant is so beautiful and so precious, Why don't we go and help find it together. If we find it, we'd better return it to the magistrate's wife as soon as possible, so that the servants won't be punished."
She said it in a high-sounding way, but in fact she just wanted to play.This proposal was approved by many young ladies. After all, going out to find golden pheasants is much more interesting than admiring orchids.
Seeing the ladies running towards the rockery one after another, Gu Chongyang retreated quietly and ran to find his aunt.
Mrs. Shen was talking to her eldest daughter, Shen Su'e, and Shen Su'e was sobbing: "...I'm not feeling well, my husband has taken in another maid, my mother-in-law has told him several times, it's no use at all..."
When Gu Chongyang entered, Shen Su'e's eyes were red and there were faint traces of tears. Gu Chongyang knew that he had been reckless, but when he thought of getting rid of Su Xiuyue today, the apology in his heart quickly dissipated: "Aunt, cousin Suying and others Miss went to the depths of the garden to look for golden pheasants."
"But there is no golden pheasant in our family!" Shen Su'e hurriedly stood up: "Is my sister going to cause some trouble again?"
Mrs. Shen was also taken aback: "This Suying really doesn't make people worry for a moment. You hurry up and take a look with me, and don't make any trouble."
Shen Su'e was also afraid that her younger sister would cause trouble, so she took her maid and Mrs. Shen to look for Shen Suying, but as soon as she arrived at the rockery, she saw the girls all blushing and looking back with dodge eyes, something serious happened same thing.
It's over, Suying must have caused trouble again.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Su'e looked at each other, and they saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
"What happened?"
Shen Su'e was the host, so she stopped a young lady and asked.
"There is a man and a woman in the small hut..."
The young lady blushed, she couldn't continue speaking, Shen Su'e and Mrs. Shen's complexion changed drastically, their hearts felt chilly, and they quickened their pace and ran towards the small hut.
The prefect's wife also heard the news, and hurried over with her personal servant: "My wife, we never thought of such a thing happening. I watched Suying grow up, don't worry, no matter who it is Even if Suying has been underestimated, I will definitely ask him to give an explanation to Suying and the Shen family."
Mrs. Shen's face was ashen, trembling all over, but she couldn't speak.She couldn't believe that her daughter was really so stubborn that she would do such a thing.
Gu Chongyang hurriedly stepped forward and shook Mrs. Shen's hand: "Auntie, although Cousin Suying has a playful personality, she will never do such a thing. Golden Pheasant, judging from the time, it is absolutely impossible to be Cousin Suying, don't worry!"
After listening to Gu Chongyang's words, Mrs. Shen also realized that, yes, it took only a while before and after, and the time was not right at all.Besides, if Su Ying was really acting so nonsense, how could she bring the ladies with her with great fanfare.
It seems that there must be a mistake.
Shen Su'e also reacted, and said to the magistrate's wife: "Mother-in-law, just now Suying was admiring orchids with other young ladies, and she went to the rockery with other young ladies in groups. There may be other people in the small hut." .”
As soon as she finished speaking, a disheveled man jumped out of the small hut. He wrapped his head and face with his clothes, pushed open the door, and ran away.
The screams of the ladies grew louder.
The magistrate's wife was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the other two came out of her body. This is the dignified magistrate's back house, and all the ladies and ladies of Nanjing city are invited to banquets. When something like this happens, no one can tell where her face will be. I thought their house was usually so lax.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take down that thief! Beat him hard and kill this blind thing."
After receiving the order, the women rushed up and threw the man down with all their strength, and beat him hard.
The women had big arms and round waists, crushing, hitting, kicking, and kicking. The man who was pressed to the ground was still silent, and soon he cried out in pain.
Looking at it, Gu Chongyang felt extremely relieved.
"Stop hitting, stop it, it's me, it's me!"
The second son of the Dou family cried out in mourning, and everyone felt that something was wrong when they heard the voice, especially the magistrate's wife, who gave birth to two sons in total, how could she not hear her own son's voice.
Her complexion changed drastically, and she shouted in surprise: "Stop, stop, stop for me!"
All the women looked at each other in blank dismay, and stopped one after another. Second Young Master Dou had already been beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he vomited blood.
Seeing her son like this, the magistrate's wife immediately felt her heart was pierced by a knife, and she wanted to rush to see her son, but because of the people around her, she had to endure it, so she pretended to scold her: "Sinister, why did you come here? Which one is it?" Shameless little hoof hooked you in?"
Others don't know what his son's virtue is, but she herself knows it very clearly.Just like his father who is the magistrate, he has no hobbies, but he can't walk when he sees a woman.
But no matter how absurd his son is, he would not mess around when he held the orchid appreciation banquet. Someone must have deliberately seduced him.The ladies who are serious in the Erba Jing don't have such courage, they are probably the maids in the mansion who want to climb the bed.
The magistrate's wife gritted her molars and said sinisterly: "Hurry up and pull out that cheap hoof that seduces men. You dare to despise the family rules, fornicate the inner house, seduce the young master, take her down, beat her hard, beat her hard!"
The mothers-in-law wounded the young master with their dead hands, and they were worried that their wife would blame them. After listening to the prefect's wife's order, they rushed into the small hut like wolves like tigers, as if they had won a gold medal for avoiding death.
With the lesson learned just now, they didn't dare to go up and beat people indiscriminately. First, they grabbed the disheveled young girl and dragged her out of the dim and messy hut.
The girl was wearing a carmine red dress, she could tell it wasn't a maid's dress at first glance, but her hair was disheveled, covering her cheeks, making it difficult to see her face clearly, the magistrate's wife felt a thump in her heart, for fear that her son would offend her. mess with people.
Gu Chongyang pretended to be panic and shouted: "Miss Su, how could it be you?"
This time, not only the magistrate's wife, but also Shen Su'e, Mrs. Shen and all the young ladies were stunned.
Shen Su'e hurriedly murmured a few words in the ear of the prefect's wife, and the prefect's wife showed a reassuring look on her face.It's just a concubine from a merchant's family, and she just took her in as a concubine. If it spread, people would only say that the Su family's family style is not strict, and she didn't do any harm to her son Qiu.
Regardless of the blink of an eye, Mrs. Zhifu already had a countermeasure in mind.
While ordering someone to ask a doctor to treat her son's wounds, she said to Shen Su'e, "Boss daughter-in-law, help Miss Su to your yard to freshen up, young men and women, Wei Ai Fangxing, this is not a big deal Things, our Dou family is not the kind of irresponsible people. I will go to Mrs. Su to make amends. If there is a penalty, I will punish it. If there is compensation, I will compensate. Our Dou family has no complaints. My wife, please come with me Go see Mrs. Su and explain the matter clearly."
The last sentence was addressed to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen nodded and winked at Gu Chongyang, Gu Chongyang hurried up and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will find Cousin Suying."
Only then did Mrs. Shen feel relieved, and left with the prefect's wife.
Su Xiuyue's heart couldn't help but be delighted by what the prefect's wife said, it was not in vain for her to take a slanted sword and not leave a way out for herself, and today she really got her wish.It's ridiculous that the aunt actually took 1000 taels of silver from the widower and wanted to marry an old man in his 30s. She must have a very bright face when she hears the news later.
It's a pity that she can't see it with her own eyes because she has to avoid the edge for the time being.
Su Xiuyue's heart was filled with the joy of a successful scheme and the pleasure of ambition, but it was a pity that the pride didn't last long, the little girls around her stared at her with strange eyes, and the bold ones even whispered contemptuously.
Those eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could pierce her clothes, and when they saw her body, she had nowhere to hide, and she couldn't escape when she wanted to escape.
Don't panic, don't bow your head, as long as today is over, she will be the concubine of the second son of the prefect's family, as long as you hold the heart of the second son of Dou tightly, and give birth to a boy as soon as possible, it is too late for others to flatter you How can you remember today's scandal?
On the surface, those people pointed and pointed at themselves in a sanctimonious manner, but in their hearts they were envious and jealous of her.
She can't be defeated by them, as long as today is over, no one can look down on her anymore.
Faintly, she raised her head, not only did not avoid the gazes of the ladies, but she was a little complacent.
Those ladies who stared at her lowered their heads instead, not because they didn't dare to look at her, but because they had never seen such a brazen person before, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing that everyone was forced by her gaze and lowered their heads in shame, Su Xiuyue snorted coldly and raised the corners of her mouth.
A little girl suddenly walked out of the crowd, walked up to Su Xiuyue, raised her hand and slapped Su Xiuyue across the face.
The lady next to the magistrate's wife hurried up to stop the little girl, coaxing and persuading her: "Second Miss Su, what are you doing? Let the wives and wives decide what matters, this is not your lady." They can participate."
The second young lady of the Su family turned a deaf ear to it, only mixed with shame and anger, gnashing her teeth and glaring at the concubine elder sister, wishing she could swallow her alive: "Why are you so shameless! Just like your dead aunt! If your aunt hadn't seduced father, so what?" Will you be born? Do you think that you took revenge on my mother and me by doing what you did today? You think that you can marry into the magistrate’s family if you succeed in your treacherous scheme today. Let me tell you, you are dreaming! Your aunt was arrested for misbehaving. The father found out that the one who committed suicide in shame and indignation, like a mother, like a daughter. Do you think that after many years, no one knows about it? I will announce the scandal of your mother to the public. Will you let me in!"
The Second Miss of the Su family blushed and trembled all over. She was extremely angry.
The Su family is a new merchant, and it has been hard to get a firm foothold in the past few years. The sisters have also reached the time to talk about their marriage. Now that Su Xiuyue is making such a fuss, not to mention that her parents will not be able to go out to meet people in the future, even the relationship between her and her sister Marriage will also be implicated.
As soon as her words fell, the crowd let out a "boom", and everyone began to whisper.
Everyone only knew that two years ago, an aunt of the Su family had an affair with a servant and gave birth to a son. She was caught on the elopement road and hanged to death in the end, but they didn't know that it was Su Xiuyue's biological mother.
After hearing the words of the Second Miss of the Su family, everyone immediately reacted.The eyes that looked at Su Xiuyue became more and more contemptuous, even the mother-in-law who comforted the Second Miss of the Su family looked at Su Xiuyue with contempt.
Su Xiuyue's face was pale, trembling all over, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, no matter how much her sister abused her, she didn't say a word.
At this moment, Su Xiuyue is a bit pitiful, but it is also the path she chose.Gu Chongyang looked at it and sighed in his heart, but he never regretted it.This is her own choice, and she did not force her, so there is no such thing as guilt or indebtedness, it is just mutual use.
In the end, Shen Su'e came out to round up the field and took Su Xiuyue away.
Shen Suying ran over hand in hand with a young lady, she ran very fast, and asked Gu Chongyang with a slightly red face: "What are you all doing here, the buzzing sound, we heard it in the bamboo forest."
What a big heart!
Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll tell you slowly later."
She stretched out her hand, took off the bamboo leaves from Shen Suying's hair, and told Shen Suying what happened just now in a low voice.
They were talking, suddenly there was a sound of a big bell hitting "Dang Dang" in the distance, and the sound kept ringing.
Shen Suying tilted her head and listened for a while, then said indifferently, "Eh? This is another nobleman in the capital who passed away."
Gu Chongyang's heart suddenly became a little nervous. It was the death of Emperor Jianxing, that is to say, King Rong was about to leave the domain soon, and he had to send people to contact all the rich and powerful officials and wealthy businessmen in the south.
A few days later, Gu Chongyang got the news from Shen Suying that the matter of Su Xiuyue's birth mother was exposed, which indeed had some influence on Su Xiuyue, but in the end, she became the aunt of the second son of the Su family.
This result can be regarded as happy for everyone, Su Xiuyue got her wish, and Gu Chongyang also solved a problem for the Shen family and the future second cousin.
It just made my cousin a little depressed recently.
The Shen family had strict rules, and he was never allowed to drink away his sorrows, and he had never told anyone what was on his mind, so he was only secretly sad and distressed.
But Gu Chongyang couldn't bear him to be so depressed, thinking about his uncle's unwillingness to buy more grain, he had an idea in his heart.
She decided to buy food herself.
Based on her experience in her previous life, if she buys food now, she will be able to make a fortune in a few months.By participating in the Shen family's business, on the one hand, she can attract uncle's attention, and on the other hand, if King Rong really sends someone to contact uncle, she can also get the news as soon as possible.
No matter what, she's going to stop her uncle from getting on King Jung's boat.
"Uncle, I've fancy a business. It's a huge profit, but I still have something missing. Can I borrow something from you?"
"Hey, we in Chongyang have been thinking about doing business since we were so young. Not bad, not to mention that you have always welcomed your cousin, even if you make your cousin not as bold as you." Shen Yucheng likes his niece's character of daring to think and do, Naturally agreed: "You still need something, just tell me!"
Gu Chongyang said: "I want to borrow 1 taels of silver from my uncle, borrow a warehouse, five clerks, a second shopkeeper, twenty handymen, and ask my cousin to help me too."
Shen Yucheng laughed loudly after hearing this: "It turns out that you have nothing, and you want to be a white wolf with nothing, so you can borrow all your capital and labor from me."
Gu Chongyang walked to Shen Yucheng's side: "Then uncle, do you agree?"
"Of course I agree, but you have to tell me first what kind of business you are going to do. With 1 taels of silver and so many people, you can do a lot of business." Shen Yucheng admired all over his face: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It's such a big deal, uncle will definitely support it, tell me what business you want, and uncle will help you as a staff member."
Uncle was afraid that she would be deceived, but also afraid that speaking directly would dampen her enthusiasm, so he said it so tactfully.
Apart from my mother, my uncle is the person who loves me the most in this world.
Gu Chongyang's eyes were slightly wet, and he became more determined to protect his uncle's family.
"I want to buy grain." Gu Chongyang didn't need the words she had originally thought up, and she decided to tell her uncle her thoughts directly: "Uncle, the rain in the north was uneven last year, and there were severe droughts in many places. This year, many businessmen from the north will definitely go south. For those who buy grain, the imperial court will even come forward to buy grain. So, I decided to take a gamble, buy grain, and sell it at a high price at that time."
"But 1 taels of silver is too much!" The elder cousin Shen Qian said, "How much do you plan to charge?"
Seeing that Shen Yucheng didn't speak, Gu Chongyang knew that his uncle might have the same idea as his eldest cousin. She said, "The minimum is six thousand shi, and the maximum is [-] shi."
Now let alone Shen Qian who has been helping Shen Yucheng manage the property, even Mrs. Shen, Shen Suying, and Biao Qian's sister-in-law are dumbfounded.Shen Rang, who was originally very depressed, also frowned.
They felt that Gu Chongyang was just messing around, but no one spoke up, but they all looked at the head of the family, Shen Yucheng.
They felt that Shen Yucheng would definitely not agree.
Shen Yucheng really didn't want to agree, and he also felt that Gu Chongyang's actions were too exaggerated, even if there was a shortage of food, there was still the Ministry of Household Affairs, how could even the imperial court go south to buy food.
However, Gu Chongyang was secretly worried. The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the news of corruption in the household department was exposed. When the court was preparing to use the grain, it was discovered that the real grain storage was only [-]%, and the remaining grain bags were full of stones and chaff.If it hadn't been for the timely purchase of grain from the south, the disaster victims from the north would flood into the capital, which would almost cause a catastrophe.However, the grain harvest in Nanjing was extremely small that year, and the new emperor even personally issued an order to reprimand the prefect of Nanjing for his inability to harvest grain.
But although she knew these things in her heart, she couldn't tell her uncle.
She also knew that her request was absurd, but she had no good reason to persuade her uncle, so she could only look at Shen Yucheng eagerly.
Shen Yucheng originally didn't want to agree, but after all, this was the first time his niece opened her mouth to borrow something from him. If she refused, wouldn't Chongyang's heart be chilled?
Especially when he saw Chongyang looking at him expectantly, his facial features were exactly the same as those of his deceased sister, so he couldn't say no to him no matter what.
"Okay." Shen Yucheng said kindly: "Since you want to collect food, then just go, and tell uncle if you need anything, since you want you to let your cousin go with you, then let him go, and you can teach him well." Teach him, let him learn to do business with you."
She knew that her uncle would not refuse.In the previous life, my uncle would agree to even more excessive and unreasonable demands than this one, not to mention that it was only 1 taels of silver.
"I knew that my uncle loved me the most. You are really the best uncle in the world." Gu Chongyang was very happy, walked to Shen Yucheng's side, smiled like a flower, flattered Shen Yucheng while hammering his back: "Uncle, take a rest, don't worry, my cousin Rang and I will collect the food well and handle things properly, and we will never embarrass you."
"Good, good, good." Shen Yucheng was flattered by Gu Chongyang, grinning from ear to ear, and kept praising Chongyang for being clever and filial.
His two daughters, the eldest daughter Shen Su'e is introverted and honest, the second daughter Shen Suying is lively and generous, but none of them is as sweet as Gu Chongyang.
Anyway, it was only 1 taels of silver, and the Shen family couldn't afford it.The big deal is to sell old grain in the next two years, and buy Chongyang with 1 taels of silver to be happy. This business is very cost-effective.
Everyone in the Shen family was shocked.
Although the Shen family was rich, Shen Yucheng was extremely cautious in doing business, so he did not encounter any major risks. He even taught his son that "seeking wealth and wealth in danger" is not suitable for the Shen family, and the Shen family should be stable.But no one thought that when facing Gu Chongyang, he would be so generous, not just loving, it could be said to be doting.
Shen Qian made it rare for the two brothers to see their father say such good things. After this incident, the eyes they looked at Gu Chongyang became different again. It seems that in the father's heart, the words of the niece are more effective than those of the son. too much.
Shen Suying didn't think much about it, she stared at Gu Chongyang dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "Chongyang, you really know how to flatter, don't you blush when you say those sweet words?"
Gu Chongyang said without blushing, "This is my uncle. I am his niece, and what I say is from the bottom of my heart, so it's not flattery. Uncle is the best uncle in the world. In addition, he is the person closest to me and the one who loves me the most. Uncle’s business is very hard. I can’t share anything for him, and I can’t hold him back. As long as I complete the grain purchase this time, I will definitely If I can make a lot of money, it is not in vain that I am my uncle's niece."
Shen Suying was defeated by Gu Chongyang, but Shen Yucheng laughed, her face full of relief: "Chongyang is right, Suying, you should learn from your cousin Chongyang. She wanted to do business not long after Chongyang came, and she More like the Shen family than you."
Shen Suying said unconvinced: "I also want to do business, but I have no connections and no funds. If I ask you for money, you will not give it so readily."
As she spoke, her eyes rolled around, she walked up to Shen Yucheng, hammered his other shoulder, and said with a smile: "How about this, Dad, you let me collect grain with my cousin Chongyang, so that I can grow up too." gain knowledge?"
"That won't work, it's enough to have your second brother, don't make trouble for your Chongyang cousin."
Shen Suying stomped her feet angrily: "Listen to what you said, you are the one who said I don't know how to do business, and you are the one who won't let me make trouble. What exactly do you want from me!"
As she spoke, she winked at Gu Chongyang.
Gu Chongyang understood, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I really can't do it by myself, so let Cousin Suying help me. When the two of us have made money, we can join in and hold a table of wine to thank you .”
"Yeah." Shen Yucheng glanced at his daughter who was full of resentment and anticipation, then at his niece who was smiling like a flower, and waved his hand: "Okay, I'll wait to drink the wine with you two."
Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying looked at each other, and said in unison: "Don't worry!"
It was said that Gu Chongyang and Shen Su were going to do it, but in fact, the two of them just had to talk about it, one Gu Tai came to run errands, and Shen Rang was also instructed by the two of them to run around.
Seeing his younger sister and cousin sitting in the warehouse and eating snacks over a brazier, all he had to do was wait for the food to be delivered for registration, but he had to follow people to the countryside to collect the food.Seeing that more than half a month has passed, and the food harvest is not enough, his crime has finally been punished.
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work." Seeing her brother escorting a batch of food in with five or six other men, Shen Su brought a cup of tea with a smile: "Sit down quickly and rest your feet."
Shen Rang was very tired, but it was rare to see his younger sister being considerate, so he took the teacup and said, "Aren't you always against me? Why did you bring me tea? There's nothing in the tea, right?"
"Cut!" Shen Suying resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him: "You used to know that you ate and drank behind Big Brother and Dad, and these days you are a bit of a man from the Shen family. It's been a hard day, and I still haven't sent it to you."
Shen Rang was dumbfounded when he heard this, but rarely argued with his sister.
That's right, let alone his younger sister, even he himself found that he has become different.
When he went to the countryside to collect grain, he realized that collecting grain was not an easy task. Some people were so poor that they didn’t have enough grain to eat, but they had to sell the remaining grain in order to treat their children. .Some people are very rich, but they care about pennies and pennies.There are also people who shoddy and buy and sell by force.As for those rogues who want to take advantage of things and settle down, there are even more.
At first he was at a loss, so he had to follow the grain collectors as helpers. Later, he could grasp the grain himself to know whether the grain was dried enough and whether it was intentionally mixed with water.You can tell whether it is new grain or old grain at a glance.
And those guys looked at him from contemptuous and distant to admiring and close.Only in the past few days did he know that the Shen family's business was not so easy to do, and he really felt that he was part of the Shen family and he wanted to work hard for the development of the Shen family.
This feeling was never felt before.All this is thanks to Cousin Chongyang.
Shen Rang watched Gu Chongyang earnestly registering the amount of food, and couldn't help being grateful to her. Cousin Chongyang is so smart, she must have deliberately wanted herself to learn this.
He walked to Gu Chongyang's side without saying a word.
Gu Chongyang saw that he was a big circle, not only did he not look like a kid from a rich family in the past, but he was no different from those little servants.He smiled and said, "Brother, it's hard work."
"What's the hard work for this idea!" Shen Rang smiled and looked at the guys who carried the grain behind: "It's hard work for them to follow me in the east and west villages. How fast and so good the grain can be harvested is all thanks to the guys. "
Those guys all laughed and said, "It's the young master and the cousin girl who led the way well, we dare not take credit for it."
In just one month, my cousin has matured a lot.
Looking at it, Gu Chongyang felt relieved and said: "Second Young Master is right, you have really worked hard for everyone these days, and when the work is over, everyone will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Cousin."
Gu Chongyang said to Shen Su again: "Cousin has worked hard too, let's go to Jiming Temple to play in a few days."
Shen Suying clapped her hands happily when she heard this: "Good cousin, I knew I couldn't go wrong with you."
Saying that, Chong Shenrang raised his eyebrows, his face full of spirits.
Jiming Temple has a long history and is known as the first temple in the Southern Dynasties. It is the most prosperous temple in Nanjing.
It was the end of March, the grass was growing and warblers were flying, the scenery in Nanjing was pleasant, and there were many pilgrims in Jiming Temple.
Gu Chongyang collected a total of 100 shi of grain, completed a major event, and felt happy. When he heard that Master Zhike asked them to donate silver taels, he was very bold, and the price was [-] taels.Although Master Zhike's expression remained the same, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he became more patient when talking to them.
After going to the Daxiong Palace to pray for incense, Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying had a disagreement. Shen Suying wanted to see the Yanzhi Well, but Gu Chongyang wanted to see the Pearl Surge. If he went to the Yanzhi Well first and then the Pearl Surge, the time must be too late In the end, the two agreed to work separately.
Shen Rang accompanied Shen Suying to see Yanzhi Well, while Gu Chongyang went to see Pearl Surge by himself, and they finally met in Guanyin Hall.
The Pearl Surge is one of the 48 scenic spots in Nanjing. It is famous for the tumbling water drops like pearls.The banks of the Pearl River from Jiming Temple to the pontoon bridge are full of oleanders and various flowers, with luxuriant grasses and falling cherry blossoms.
Gu Chongyang was admiring the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River along the Pearl River, and a pair of master and servant came into view.
The hostess is 27 and eight years old. Although she is no longer young, she has a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, which is amazing.In particular, that dusty temperament and demeanor that make people forget the world, she is undoubtedly a peerless beauty that is hard to find in thousands of miles.
There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, this sentence is really not just casually.Such a beauty, holding a paper umbrella and wearing flowers and willows, even Gu Chongyang was fascinated by it.
Suddenly, there was a scream: "Snake, snake, snake..."
Gu Chongyang was taken aback, and hurried forward, just as he ran in front of the master and servant, the beautiful woman fell down limply, Gu Chongyang only saw the snake's tail, and disappeared among the flowers in a moment.
The beautiful woman clutched her legs and cried out in pain, Gu Chongyang did not hesitate, squatted down and opened her dress, only to see that the beautiful woman's calf was black and purple, and blood was still oozing from the wound.
She hurriedly tore off the beautiful woman's clothes, and tied them tightly around the wound to prevent the poisonous gas from spreading.Seeing that the beautiful woman had passed out, her lips were faintly blue, and her life would be in danger if she didn't rescue her, she couldn't help feeling anxious, and her mind turned rapidly.
Master said that places where snakes come and go usually have herbal medicines that can detoxify snakes.
She picked up the flower bushes with her hands and searched carefully.
She was overjoyed when she saw a kind of grass with narrow leaves and small white flowers among the flowers. It was Hedyotis diffusa, which is specially used to treat snake venom.
She quickly tore off a handful of leaves without washing them, and stuffed them into her mouth. After chewing, she spit them out and leaned over to suck the poison on the woman's calf with her mouth.
From the beginning of running over to her inhaling the snake venom, it only took a moment.
The servant girl who was serving beside the beautiful woman came to her senses, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Miss, you will be poisoned like this. If there is something wrong with you, Madam will definitely blame the servant girl if she finds out."
Gu Chongyang sucked a few mouthfuls vigorously, spit out black poisonous blood, then applied the chewed Hedyotis diffusa to the beautiful woman's leg, and while bandaging her, said: "I am a doctor, I know the seriousness. Don't worry, I chewed this Hedyotis diffusa, which is specially designed to detoxify snakes, in advance, and it will be fine."
As she spoke, she felt a slight numbness in her tongue, and quickly pulled a handful of Hedyotis diffusa into her mouth.
"Hurry up and help your wife go back, and detoxify her immediately, otherwise the poison will deepen."
As Gu Chongyang said, he stood up first, put one arm of the beautiful woman, and went back to Jiming Temple with the maid.
It turned out that the beautiful woman lived in the abode of Jiming Temple.
Gu Chongyang sent their master and servant back, and he personally made medicine for the beautiful woman, and when she saw that the condition of the beautiful woman improved, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother Wu, Madam is fine, I should go back. "
"Miss Gu, our son is back, please go over and talk."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Chongyang felt that Mama Wu was very nervous.
There was also a moment of surprise in her heart, her mother was bitten by a snake, and the son knew about it, shouldn't he come over nervously to check on the situation?Not only can this young man not come, but he wants to see himself first?
But Gu Chongyang really wanted to see the master's young master, because the situation of this beautiful lady was a bit complicated, he had to talk to the patient's family about the situation, and the patient's family would make a choice.
When Gu Chongyang came to the door of the young master's house, a very handsome young man lifted the curtain, seeing Gu Chongyang without raising his brow, he was very educated.
When the curtain was lifted, the smell of agarwood spread over the surface, Gu Chongyang couldn't help being startled.Agarwood is precious, even if you have money, it is hard to buy it. The people you save must be either rich or expensive.
She made up her mind and walked in, only to see a young man in a moon-white shirt sitting on a chair in the main hall. He was sipping tea with his head bowed. He was very casual, but he couldn't hide his chicness.There is a kind of person who is like pearls and jade, who don't need to do anything, just sit and stand casually, and people's eyes will fall on him involuntarily.
And the man in front of him is exactly this kind of person.
Hearing the movement, he put down the teacup, raised his head and said to Gu Chongyang: "My mother was bitten by a snake, thank you Miss Gu for helping me and saving my mother's life."
His voice was cold, he didn't know what was going on, but Gu Chongyang felt a little mocking himself when he heard it.
She blessed her body, raised her head, and looked up.
The heroic sword eyebrows are slightly raised, a little impatient, the shining star eyes are very sharp, the eyes are like ink, and the delicate facial features are flawless. Although the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes, the curved mouth even looks like What are you mocking.
She couldn't help being struck by lightning.
Wang Jiulang!
She would meet the famous Yushu son Wang Jiulang!
(End of this chapter)
Gu Chongyang watched her walk into the idyllic hut next to the rockery, so he pretended to be nonchalant and went back to admire the orchids.
Seeing a little maid guarding the orchids, Gu Chongyang beckoned her over: "Did you feed golden pheasants in your home? I saw a big golden pheasant just now, and it went to the rockery."
"No." The little maid shook her head and said, "Our family doesn't feed golden pheasants. Golden pheasants are so rare that there is nowhere to buy them."
Gu Chongyang raised his voice and said: "But I clearly saw a big golden pheasant with golden feathers on the top of its head, bright red fur on its belly that looks like fire, and a long and colorful tail. How could it be a mistake? ?”
The little maid became a little uncertain.
Ms. Gu spoke in such detail, even the colors and patterns, how could she speak so vividly if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes?Besides, Miss Gu has absolutely no need to lie to herself.
Could it be a gift that someone gave to adults recently, and I don't know it?
I'd rather believe it or not, if there really is a golden pheasant running away and I don't go looking for it, I will definitely be punished by then.
The little maid immediately threw away the things in her hand and said: "Thank you, Miss Gu, for telling the maidservant that maybe the golden pheasant at home has escaped. I will tell the women right away and ask them to help find it."
"You go, the golden pheasant is very beautiful, I want to see it again."
Their conversation was overheard by the other little girls, who were a little curious, especially Shen Suying, who was even more eager to try: "I have never seen a golden pheasant since I grew up. Since the golden pheasant is so beautiful and so precious, Why don't we go and help find it together. If we find it, we'd better return it to the magistrate's wife as soon as possible, so that the servants won't be punished."
She said it in a high-sounding way, but in fact she just wanted to play.This proposal was approved by many young ladies. After all, going out to find golden pheasants is much more interesting than admiring orchids.
Seeing the ladies running towards the rockery one after another, Gu Chongyang retreated quietly and ran to find his aunt.
Mrs. Shen was talking to her eldest daughter, Shen Su'e, and Shen Su'e was sobbing: "...I'm not feeling well, my husband has taken in another maid, my mother-in-law has told him several times, it's no use at all..."
When Gu Chongyang entered, Shen Su'e's eyes were red and there were faint traces of tears. Gu Chongyang knew that he had been reckless, but when he thought of getting rid of Su Xiuyue today, the apology in his heart quickly dissipated: "Aunt, cousin Suying and others Miss went to the depths of the garden to look for golden pheasants."
"But there is no golden pheasant in our family!" Shen Su'e hurriedly stood up: "Is my sister going to cause some trouble again?"
Mrs. Shen was also taken aback: "This Suying really doesn't make people worry for a moment. You hurry up and take a look with me, and don't make any trouble."
Shen Su'e was also afraid that her younger sister would cause trouble, so she took her maid and Mrs. Shen to look for Shen Suying, but as soon as she arrived at the rockery, she saw the girls all blushing and looking back with dodge eyes, something serious happened same thing.
It's over, Suying must have caused trouble again.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Su'e looked at each other, and they saw deep worry in each other's eyes.
"What happened?"
Shen Su'e was the host, so she stopped a young lady and asked.
"There is a man and a woman in the small hut..."
The young lady blushed, she couldn't continue speaking, Shen Su'e and Mrs. Shen's complexion changed drastically, their hearts felt chilly, and they quickened their pace and ran towards the small hut.
The prefect's wife also heard the news, and hurried over with her personal servant: "My wife, we never thought of such a thing happening. I watched Suying grow up, don't worry, no matter who it is Even if Suying has been underestimated, I will definitely ask him to give an explanation to Suying and the Shen family."
Mrs. Shen's face was ashen, trembling all over, but she couldn't speak.She couldn't believe that her daughter was really so stubborn that she would do such a thing.
Gu Chongyang hurriedly stepped forward and shook Mrs. Shen's hand: "Auntie, although Cousin Suying has a playful personality, she will never do such a thing. Golden Pheasant, judging from the time, it is absolutely impossible to be Cousin Suying, don't worry!"
After listening to Gu Chongyang's words, Mrs. Shen also realized that, yes, it took only a while before and after, and the time was not right at all.Besides, if Su Ying was really acting so nonsense, how could she bring the ladies with her with great fanfare.
It seems that there must be a mistake.
Shen Su'e also reacted, and said to the magistrate's wife: "Mother-in-law, just now Suying was admiring orchids with other young ladies, and she went to the rockery with other young ladies in groups. There may be other people in the small hut." .”
As soon as she finished speaking, a disheveled man jumped out of the small hut. He wrapped his head and face with his clothes, pushed open the door, and ran away.
The screams of the ladies grew louder.
The magistrate's wife was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the other two came out of her body. This is the dignified magistrate's back house, and all the ladies and ladies of Nanjing city are invited to banquets. When something like this happens, no one can tell where her face will be. I thought their house was usually so lax.
"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take down that thief! Beat him hard and kill this blind thing."
After receiving the order, the women rushed up and threw the man down with all their strength, and beat him hard.
The women had big arms and round waists, crushing, hitting, kicking, and kicking. The man who was pressed to the ground was still silent, and soon he cried out in pain.
Looking at it, Gu Chongyang felt extremely relieved.
"Stop hitting, stop it, it's me, it's me!"
The second son of the Dou family cried out in mourning, and everyone felt that something was wrong when they heard the voice, especially the magistrate's wife, who gave birth to two sons in total, how could she not hear her own son's voice.
Her complexion changed drastically, and she shouted in surprise: "Stop, stop, stop for me!"
All the women looked at each other in blank dismay, and stopped one after another. Second Young Master Dou had already been beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he vomited blood.
Seeing her son like this, the magistrate's wife immediately felt her heart was pierced by a knife, and she wanted to rush to see her son, but because of the people around her, she had to endure it, so she pretended to scold her: "Sinister, why did you come here? Which one is it?" Shameless little hoof hooked you in?"
Others don't know what his son's virtue is, but she herself knows it very clearly.Just like his father who is the magistrate, he has no hobbies, but he can't walk when he sees a woman.
But no matter how absurd his son is, he would not mess around when he held the orchid appreciation banquet. Someone must have deliberately seduced him.The ladies who are serious in the Erba Jing don't have such courage, they are probably the maids in the mansion who want to climb the bed.
The magistrate's wife gritted her molars and said sinisterly: "Hurry up and pull out that cheap hoof that seduces men. You dare to despise the family rules, fornicate the inner house, seduce the young master, take her down, beat her hard, beat her hard!"
The mothers-in-law wounded the young master with their dead hands, and they were worried that their wife would blame them. After listening to the prefect's wife's order, they rushed into the small hut like wolves like tigers, as if they had won a gold medal for avoiding death.
With the lesson learned just now, they didn't dare to go up and beat people indiscriminately. First, they grabbed the disheveled young girl and dragged her out of the dim and messy hut.
The girl was wearing a carmine red dress, she could tell it wasn't a maid's dress at first glance, but her hair was disheveled, covering her cheeks, making it difficult to see her face clearly, the magistrate's wife felt a thump in her heart, for fear that her son would offend her. mess with people.
Gu Chongyang pretended to be panic and shouted: "Miss Su, how could it be you?"
This time, not only the magistrate's wife, but also Shen Su'e, Mrs. Shen and all the young ladies were stunned.
Shen Su'e hurriedly murmured a few words in the ear of the prefect's wife, and the prefect's wife showed a reassuring look on her face.It's just a concubine from a merchant's family, and she just took her in as a concubine. If it spread, people would only say that the Su family's family style is not strict, and she didn't do any harm to her son Qiu.
Regardless of the blink of an eye, Mrs. Zhifu already had a countermeasure in mind.
While ordering someone to ask a doctor to treat her son's wounds, she said to Shen Su'e, "Boss daughter-in-law, help Miss Su to your yard to freshen up, young men and women, Wei Ai Fangxing, this is not a big deal Things, our Dou family is not the kind of irresponsible people. I will go to Mrs. Su to make amends. If there is a penalty, I will punish it. If there is compensation, I will compensate. Our Dou family has no complaints. My wife, please come with me Go see Mrs. Su and explain the matter clearly."
The last sentence was addressed to Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen nodded and winked at Gu Chongyang, Gu Chongyang hurried up and said: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will find Cousin Suying."
Only then did Mrs. Shen feel relieved, and left with the prefect's wife.
Su Xiuyue's heart couldn't help but be delighted by what the prefect's wife said, it was not in vain for her to take a slanted sword and not leave a way out for herself, and today she really got her wish.It's ridiculous that the aunt actually took 1000 taels of silver from the widower and wanted to marry an old man in his 30s. She must have a very bright face when she hears the news later.
It's a pity that she can't see it with her own eyes because she has to avoid the edge for the time being.
Su Xiuyue's heart was filled with the joy of a successful scheme and the pleasure of ambition, but it was a pity that the pride didn't last long, the little girls around her stared at her with strange eyes, and the bold ones even whispered contemptuously.
Those eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if they could pierce her clothes, and when they saw her body, she had nowhere to hide, and she couldn't escape when she wanted to escape.
Don't panic, don't bow your head, as long as today is over, she will be the concubine of the second son of the prefect's family, as long as you hold the heart of the second son of Dou tightly, and give birth to a boy as soon as possible, it is too late for others to flatter you How can you remember today's scandal?
On the surface, those people pointed and pointed at themselves in a sanctimonious manner, but in their hearts they were envious and jealous of her.
She can't be defeated by them, as long as today is over, no one can look down on her anymore.
Faintly, she raised her head, not only did not avoid the gazes of the ladies, but she was a little complacent.
Those ladies who stared at her lowered their heads instead, not because they didn't dare to look at her, but because they had never seen such a brazen person before, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing that everyone was forced by her gaze and lowered their heads in shame, Su Xiuyue snorted coldly and raised the corners of her mouth.
A little girl suddenly walked out of the crowd, walked up to Su Xiuyue, raised her hand and slapped Su Xiuyue across the face.
The lady next to the magistrate's wife hurried up to stop the little girl, coaxing and persuading her: "Second Miss Su, what are you doing? Let the wives and wives decide what matters, this is not your lady." They can participate."
The second young lady of the Su family turned a deaf ear to it, only mixed with shame and anger, gnashing her teeth and glaring at the concubine elder sister, wishing she could swallow her alive: "Why are you so shameless! Just like your dead aunt! If your aunt hadn't seduced father, so what?" Will you be born? Do you think that you took revenge on my mother and me by doing what you did today? You think that you can marry into the magistrate’s family if you succeed in your treacherous scheme today. Let me tell you, you are dreaming! Your aunt was arrested for misbehaving. The father found out that the one who committed suicide in shame and indignation, like a mother, like a daughter. Do you think that after many years, no one knows about it? I will announce the scandal of your mother to the public. Will you let me in!"
The Second Miss of the Su family blushed and trembled all over. She was extremely angry.
The Su family is a new merchant, and it has been hard to get a firm foothold in the past few years. The sisters have also reached the time to talk about their marriage. Now that Su Xiuyue is making such a fuss, not to mention that her parents will not be able to go out to meet people in the future, even the relationship between her and her sister Marriage will also be implicated.
As soon as her words fell, the crowd let out a "boom", and everyone began to whisper.
Everyone only knew that two years ago, an aunt of the Su family had an affair with a servant and gave birth to a son. She was caught on the elopement road and hanged to death in the end, but they didn't know that it was Su Xiuyue's biological mother.
After hearing the words of the Second Miss of the Su family, everyone immediately reacted.The eyes that looked at Su Xiuyue became more and more contemptuous, even the mother-in-law who comforted the Second Miss of the Su family looked at Su Xiuyue with contempt.
Su Xiuyue's face was pale, trembling all over, her hands were tightly clenched into fists, no matter how much her sister abused her, she didn't say a word.
At this moment, Su Xiuyue is a bit pitiful, but it is also the path she chose.Gu Chongyang looked at it and sighed in his heart, but he never regretted it.This is her own choice, and she did not force her, so there is no such thing as guilt or indebtedness, it is just mutual use.
In the end, Shen Su'e came out to round up the field and took Su Xiuyue away.
Shen Suying ran over hand in hand with a young lady, she ran very fast, and asked Gu Chongyang with a slightly red face: "What are you all doing here, the buzzing sound, we heard it in the bamboo forest."
What a big heart!
Gu Chongyang smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll tell you slowly later."
She stretched out her hand, took off the bamboo leaves from Shen Suying's hair, and told Shen Suying what happened just now in a low voice.
They were talking, suddenly there was a sound of a big bell hitting "Dang Dang" in the distance, and the sound kept ringing.
Shen Suying tilted her head and listened for a while, then said indifferently, "Eh? This is another nobleman in the capital who passed away."
Gu Chongyang's heart suddenly became a little nervous. It was the death of Emperor Jianxing, that is to say, King Rong was about to leave the domain soon, and he had to send people to contact all the rich and powerful officials and wealthy businessmen in the south.
A few days later, Gu Chongyang got the news from Shen Suying that the matter of Su Xiuyue's birth mother was exposed, which indeed had some influence on Su Xiuyue, but in the end, she became the aunt of the second son of the Su family.
This result can be regarded as happy for everyone, Su Xiuyue got her wish, and Gu Chongyang also solved a problem for the Shen family and the future second cousin.
It just made my cousin a little depressed recently.
The Shen family had strict rules, and he was never allowed to drink away his sorrows, and he had never told anyone what was on his mind, so he was only secretly sad and distressed.
But Gu Chongyang couldn't bear him to be so depressed, thinking about his uncle's unwillingness to buy more grain, he had an idea in his heart.
She decided to buy food herself.
Based on her experience in her previous life, if she buys food now, she will be able to make a fortune in a few months.By participating in the Shen family's business, on the one hand, she can attract uncle's attention, and on the other hand, if King Rong really sends someone to contact uncle, she can also get the news as soon as possible.
No matter what, she's going to stop her uncle from getting on King Jung's boat.
"Uncle, I've fancy a business. It's a huge profit, but I still have something missing. Can I borrow something from you?"
"Hey, we in Chongyang have been thinking about doing business since we were so young. Not bad, not to mention that you have always welcomed your cousin, even if you make your cousin not as bold as you." Shen Yucheng likes his niece's character of daring to think and do, Naturally agreed: "You still need something, just tell me!"
Gu Chongyang said: "I want to borrow 1 taels of silver from my uncle, borrow a warehouse, five clerks, a second shopkeeper, twenty handymen, and ask my cousin to help me too."
Shen Yucheng laughed loudly after hearing this: "It turns out that you have nothing, and you want to be a white wolf with nothing, so you can borrow all your capital and labor from me."
Gu Chongyang walked to Shen Yucheng's side: "Then uncle, do you agree?"
"Of course I agree, but you have to tell me first what kind of business you are going to do. With 1 taels of silver and so many people, you can do a lot of business." Shen Yucheng admired all over his face: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. It's such a big deal, uncle will definitely support it, tell me what business you want, and uncle will help you as a staff member."
Uncle was afraid that she would be deceived, but also afraid that speaking directly would dampen her enthusiasm, so he said it so tactfully.
Apart from my mother, my uncle is the person who loves me the most in this world.
Gu Chongyang's eyes were slightly wet, and he became more determined to protect his uncle's family.
"I want to buy grain." Gu Chongyang didn't need the words she had originally thought up, and she decided to tell her uncle her thoughts directly: "Uncle, the rain in the north was uneven last year, and there were severe droughts in many places. This year, many businessmen from the north will definitely go south. For those who buy grain, the imperial court will even come forward to buy grain. So, I decided to take a gamble, buy grain, and sell it at a high price at that time."
"But 1 taels of silver is too much!" The elder cousin Shen Qian said, "How much do you plan to charge?"
Seeing that Shen Yucheng didn't speak, Gu Chongyang knew that his uncle might have the same idea as his eldest cousin. She said, "The minimum is six thousand shi, and the maximum is [-] shi."
Now let alone Shen Qian who has been helping Shen Yucheng manage the property, even Mrs. Shen, Shen Suying, and Biao Qian's sister-in-law are dumbfounded.Shen Rang, who was originally very depressed, also frowned.
They felt that Gu Chongyang was just messing around, but no one spoke up, but they all looked at the head of the family, Shen Yucheng.
They felt that Shen Yucheng would definitely not agree.
Shen Yucheng really didn't want to agree, and he also felt that Gu Chongyang's actions were too exaggerated, even if there was a shortage of food, there was still the Ministry of Household Affairs, how could even the imperial court go south to buy food.
However, Gu Chongyang was secretly worried. The new emperor had just ascended the throne, and the news of corruption in the household department was exposed. When the court was preparing to use the grain, it was discovered that the real grain storage was only [-]%, and the remaining grain bags were full of stones and chaff.If it hadn't been for the timely purchase of grain from the south, the disaster victims from the north would flood into the capital, which would almost cause a catastrophe.However, the grain harvest in Nanjing was extremely small that year, and the new emperor even personally issued an order to reprimand the prefect of Nanjing for his inability to harvest grain.
But although she knew these things in her heart, she couldn't tell her uncle.
She also knew that her request was absurd, but she had no good reason to persuade her uncle, so she could only look at Shen Yucheng eagerly.
Shen Yucheng originally didn't want to agree, but after all, this was the first time his niece opened her mouth to borrow something from him. If she refused, wouldn't Chongyang's heart be chilled?
Especially when he saw Chongyang looking at him expectantly, his facial features were exactly the same as those of his deceased sister, so he couldn't say no to him no matter what.
"Okay." Shen Yucheng said kindly: "Since you want to collect food, then just go, and tell uncle if you need anything, since you want you to let your cousin go with you, then let him go, and you can teach him well." Teach him, let him learn to do business with you."
She knew that her uncle would not refuse.In the previous life, my uncle would agree to even more excessive and unreasonable demands than this one, not to mention that it was only 1 taels of silver.
"I knew that my uncle loved me the most. You are really the best uncle in the world." Gu Chongyang was very happy, walked to Shen Yucheng's side, smiled like a flower, flattered Shen Yucheng while hammering his back: "Uncle, take a rest, don't worry, my cousin Rang and I will collect the food well and handle things properly, and we will never embarrass you."
"Good, good, good." Shen Yucheng was flattered by Gu Chongyang, grinning from ear to ear, and kept praising Chongyang for being clever and filial.
His two daughters, the eldest daughter Shen Su'e is introverted and honest, the second daughter Shen Suying is lively and generous, but none of them is as sweet as Gu Chongyang.
Anyway, it was only 1 taels of silver, and the Shen family couldn't afford it.The big deal is to sell old grain in the next two years, and buy Chongyang with 1 taels of silver to be happy. This business is very cost-effective.
Everyone in the Shen family was shocked.
Although the Shen family was rich, Shen Yucheng was extremely cautious in doing business, so he did not encounter any major risks. He even taught his son that "seeking wealth and wealth in danger" is not suitable for the Shen family, and the Shen family should be stable.But no one thought that when facing Gu Chongyang, he would be so generous, not just loving, it could be said to be doting.
Shen Qian made it rare for the two brothers to see their father say such good things. After this incident, the eyes they looked at Gu Chongyang became different again. It seems that in the father's heart, the words of the niece are more effective than those of the son. too much.
Shen Suying didn't think much about it, she stared at Gu Chongyang dumbfounded, and said in disbelief: "Chongyang, you really know how to flatter, don't you blush when you say those sweet words?"
Gu Chongyang said without blushing, "This is my uncle. I am his niece, and what I say is from the bottom of my heart, so it's not flattery. Uncle is the best uncle in the world. In addition, he is the person closest to me and the one who loves me the most. Uncle’s business is very hard. I can’t share anything for him, and I can’t hold him back. As long as I complete the grain purchase this time, I will definitely If I can make a lot of money, it is not in vain that I am my uncle's niece."
Shen Suying was defeated by Gu Chongyang, but Shen Yucheng laughed, her face full of relief: "Chongyang is right, Suying, you should learn from your cousin Chongyang. She wanted to do business not long after Chongyang came, and she More like the Shen family than you."
Shen Suying said unconvinced: "I also want to do business, but I have no connections and no funds. If I ask you for money, you will not give it so readily."
As she spoke, her eyes rolled around, she walked up to Shen Yucheng, hammered his other shoulder, and said with a smile: "How about this, Dad, you let me collect grain with my cousin Chongyang, so that I can grow up too." gain knowledge?"
"That won't work, it's enough to have your second brother, don't make trouble for your Chongyang cousin."
Shen Suying stomped her feet angrily: "Listen to what you said, you are the one who said I don't know how to do business, and you are the one who won't let me make trouble. What exactly do you want from me!"
As she spoke, she winked at Gu Chongyang.
Gu Chongyang understood, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, I really can't do it by myself, so let Cousin Suying help me. When the two of us have made money, we can join in and hold a table of wine to thank you .”
"Yeah." Shen Yucheng glanced at his daughter who was full of resentment and anticipation, then at his niece who was smiling like a flower, and waved his hand: "Okay, I'll wait to drink the wine with you two."
Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying looked at each other, and said in unison: "Don't worry!"
It was said that Gu Chongyang and Shen Su were going to do it, but in fact, the two of them just had to talk about it, one Gu Tai came to run errands, and Shen Rang was also instructed by the two of them to run around.
Seeing his younger sister and cousin sitting in the warehouse and eating snacks over a brazier, all he had to do was wait for the food to be delivered for registration, but he had to follow people to the countryside to collect the food.Seeing that more than half a month has passed, and the food harvest is not enough, his crime has finally been punished.
"Second brother, thank you for your hard work." Seeing her brother escorting a batch of food in with five or six other men, Shen Su brought a cup of tea with a smile: "Sit down quickly and rest your feet."
Shen Rang was very tired, but it was rare to see his younger sister being considerate, so he took the teacup and said, "Aren't you always against me? Why did you bring me tea? There's nothing in the tea, right?"
"Cut!" Shen Suying resisted the urge to roll her eyes at him: "You used to know that you ate and drank behind Big Brother and Dad, and these days you are a bit of a man from the Shen family. It's been a hard day, and I still haven't sent it to you."
Shen Rang was dumbfounded when he heard this, but rarely argued with his sister.
That's right, let alone his younger sister, even he himself found that he has become different.
When he went to the countryside to collect grain, he realized that collecting grain was not an easy task. Some people were so poor that they didn’t have enough grain to eat, but they had to sell the remaining grain in order to treat their children. .Some people are very rich, but they care about pennies and pennies.There are also people who shoddy and buy and sell by force.As for those rogues who want to take advantage of things and settle down, there are even more.
At first he was at a loss, so he had to follow the grain collectors as helpers. Later, he could grasp the grain himself to know whether the grain was dried enough and whether it was intentionally mixed with water.You can tell whether it is new grain or old grain at a glance.
And those guys looked at him from contemptuous and distant to admiring and close.Only in the past few days did he know that the Shen family's business was not so easy to do, and he really felt that he was part of the Shen family and he wanted to work hard for the development of the Shen family.
This feeling was never felt before.All this is thanks to Cousin Chongyang.
Shen Rang watched Gu Chongyang earnestly registering the amount of food, and couldn't help being grateful to her. Cousin Chongyang is so smart, she must have deliberately wanted herself to learn this.
He walked to Gu Chongyang's side without saying a word.
Gu Chongyang saw that he was a big circle, not only did he not look like a kid from a rich family in the past, but he was no different from those little servants.He smiled and said, "Brother, it's hard work."
"What's the hard work for this idea!" Shen Rang smiled and looked at the guys who carried the grain behind: "It's hard work for them to follow me in the east and west villages. How fast and so good the grain can be harvested is all thanks to the guys. "
Those guys all laughed and said, "It's the young master and the cousin girl who led the way well, we dare not take credit for it."
In just one month, my cousin has matured a lot.
Looking at it, Gu Chongyang felt relieved and said: "Second Young Master is right, you have really worked hard for everyone these days, and when the work is over, everyone will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Cousin."
Gu Chongyang said to Shen Su again: "Cousin has worked hard too, let's go to Jiming Temple to play in a few days."
Shen Suying clapped her hands happily when she heard this: "Good cousin, I knew I couldn't go wrong with you."
Saying that, Chong Shenrang raised his eyebrows, his face full of spirits.
Jiming Temple has a long history and is known as the first temple in the Southern Dynasties. It is the most prosperous temple in Nanjing.
It was the end of March, the grass was growing and warblers were flying, the scenery in Nanjing was pleasant, and there were many pilgrims in Jiming Temple.
Gu Chongyang collected a total of 100 shi of grain, completed a major event, and felt happy. When he heard that Master Zhike asked them to donate silver taels, he was very bold, and the price was [-] taels.Although Master Zhike's expression remained the same, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, and he became more patient when talking to them.
After going to the Daxiong Palace to pray for incense, Gu Chongyang and Shen Suying had a disagreement. Shen Suying wanted to see the Yanzhi Well, but Gu Chongyang wanted to see the Pearl Surge. If he went to the Yanzhi Well first and then the Pearl Surge, the time must be too late In the end, the two agreed to work separately.
Shen Rang accompanied Shen Suying to see Yanzhi Well, while Gu Chongyang went to see Pearl Surge by himself, and they finally met in Guanyin Hall.
The Pearl Surge is one of the 48 scenic spots in Nanjing. It is famous for the tumbling water drops like pearls.The banks of the Pearl River from Jiming Temple to the pontoon bridge are full of oleanders and various flowers, with luxuriant grasses and falling cherry blossoms.
Gu Chongyang was admiring the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River along the Pearl River, and a pair of master and servant came into view.
The hostess is 27 and eight years old. Although she is no longer young, she has a beautiful appearance and a slender figure, which is amazing.In particular, that dusty temperament and demeanor that make people forget the world, she is undoubtedly a peerless beauty that is hard to find in thousands of miles.
There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, this sentence is really not just casually.Such a beauty, holding a paper umbrella and wearing flowers and willows, even Gu Chongyang was fascinated by it.
Suddenly, there was a scream: "Snake, snake, snake..."
Gu Chongyang was taken aback, and hurried forward, just as he ran in front of the master and servant, the beautiful woman fell down limply, Gu Chongyang only saw the snake's tail, and disappeared among the flowers in a moment.
The beautiful woman clutched her legs and cried out in pain, Gu Chongyang did not hesitate, squatted down and opened her dress, only to see that the beautiful woman's calf was black and purple, and blood was still oozing from the wound.
She hurriedly tore off the beautiful woman's clothes, and tied them tightly around the wound to prevent the poisonous gas from spreading.Seeing that the beautiful woman had passed out, her lips were faintly blue, and her life would be in danger if she didn't rescue her, she couldn't help feeling anxious, and her mind turned rapidly.
Master said that places where snakes come and go usually have herbal medicines that can detoxify snakes.
She picked up the flower bushes with her hands and searched carefully.
She was overjoyed when she saw a kind of grass with narrow leaves and small white flowers among the flowers. It was Hedyotis diffusa, which is specially used to treat snake venom.
She quickly tore off a handful of leaves without washing them, and stuffed them into her mouth. After chewing, she spit them out and leaned over to suck the poison on the woman's calf with her mouth.
From the beginning of running over to her inhaling the snake venom, it only took a moment.
The servant girl who was serving beside the beautiful woman came to her senses, and hurriedly exclaimed: "Miss, you will be poisoned like this. If there is something wrong with you, Madam will definitely blame the servant girl if she finds out."
Gu Chongyang sucked a few mouthfuls vigorously, spit out black poisonous blood, then applied the chewed Hedyotis diffusa to the beautiful woman's leg, and while bandaging her, said: "I am a doctor, I know the seriousness. Don't worry, I chewed this Hedyotis diffusa, which is specially designed to detoxify snakes, in advance, and it will be fine."
As she spoke, she felt a slight numbness in her tongue, and quickly pulled a handful of Hedyotis diffusa into her mouth.
"Hurry up and help your wife go back, and detoxify her immediately, otherwise the poison will deepen."
As Gu Chongyang said, he stood up first, put one arm of the beautiful woman, and went back to Jiming Temple with the maid.
It turned out that the beautiful woman lived in the abode of Jiming Temple.
Gu Chongyang sent their master and servant back, and he personally made medicine for the beautiful woman, and when she saw that the condition of the beautiful woman improved, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Mother Wu, Madam is fine, I should go back. "
"Miss Gu, our son is back, please go over and talk."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Chongyang felt that Mama Wu was very nervous.
There was also a moment of surprise in her heart, her mother was bitten by a snake, and the son knew about it, shouldn't he come over nervously to check on the situation?Not only can this young man not come, but he wants to see himself first?
But Gu Chongyang really wanted to see the master's young master, because the situation of this beautiful lady was a bit complicated, he had to talk to the patient's family about the situation, and the patient's family would make a choice.
When Gu Chongyang came to the door of the young master's house, a very handsome young man lifted the curtain, seeing Gu Chongyang without raising his brow, he was very educated.
When the curtain was lifted, the smell of agarwood spread over the surface, Gu Chongyang couldn't help being startled.Agarwood is precious, even if you have money, it is hard to buy it. The people you save must be either rich or expensive.
She made up her mind and walked in, only to see a young man in a moon-white shirt sitting on a chair in the main hall. He was sipping tea with his head bowed. He was very casual, but he couldn't hide his chicness.There is a kind of person who is like pearls and jade, who don't need to do anything, just sit and stand casually, and people's eyes will fall on him involuntarily.
And the man in front of him is exactly this kind of person.
Hearing the movement, he put down the teacup, raised his head and said to Gu Chongyang: "My mother was bitten by a snake, thank you Miss Gu for helping me and saving my mother's life."
His voice was cold, he didn't know what was going on, but Gu Chongyang felt a little mocking himself when he heard it.
She blessed her body, raised her head, and looked up.
The heroic sword eyebrows are slightly raised, a little impatient, the shining star eyes are very sharp, the eyes are like ink, and the delicate facial features are flawless. Although the smile does not reach the bottom of the eyes, the curved mouth even looks like What are you mocking.
She couldn't help being struck by lightning.
Wang Jiulang!
She would meet the famous Yushu son Wang Jiulang!
