Song Yi

Chapter 576
Wei Shan was overjoyed, he thought this time would be a catastrophe, but he didn't expect that it would be a blessing in disguise, he would go straight to the top and become the highest military commander of Liangze Road. He was very grateful and kowtowed: "Wei Shan thanks the lord for his support, and he will be smashed to pieces to repay the lord. "

Du Wenhao nodded: "My identity is absolutely confidential, don't let it out."

"I would like to obey the prince's order, and the general dare not disobey."

"Okay, you go out."

Wei Shan was very grateful, kowtowed again and stood up, untied his son's rope, and ordered his subordinates to tie up Miao Ku who was still kowtowing on the ground, and escorted all his soldiers away.He also carried away Fan Zhong's corpses on the ground, rinsed the ground with clean water, and after tidying up, he said respectfully to Du Wenhao, cupped his fists and said goodbye, and led them back to the barracks.

On the same day, Wei Shan's appointment came down, and Miaoku was removed from his post and brought to justice. Wei Shan was in charge of the deployment of the horse infantry on the Liangzhe Road, and his son Wei Zhanqun was promoted to the deployment of the Hangzhou soldiers and horses.

The Wei family was overjoyed to receive the appointment, and Wei Zhanqun asked his father Wei Shan: "Who is this Mr. Du, and why is Miao Ku so afraid of him?"

Wei Shan didn't answer, but said: "People are doing what the sky is watching, and the sky has eyes."

…………

That day, Du Wenhao was sitting in the raw medicine shop for consultation and treatment, when he saw Wu Xiaojiao coming in from outside the house with a woman dressed like a young woman on his arm.Said to Su Wanrou: "She's pregnant, please help me take a look."

There are not many patients coming to the women's department, and no one is looking for Su Wanrou to see a doctor at the moment, so she is free at the moment, helping Du Wenhao write prescriptions.

Du Wenhao said to her: "You go, I will write it myself."

Su Wanrou called Wu Xiaojiao to take the young woman into the back room to see a doctor. After a while, Du Wenhao heard crying in the back room, which seemed to be the young woman.After a while, Wu Xiaojiao helped the young woman out, said goodbye and left.

With a gloomy expression, Su Wanrou returned to Du Wenhao's side and continued copying the formula.

Du Wenhao looked at a patient, and asked someone to wait behind him after he finished.She turned her head and asked Su Wanrou, "What's the matter? Is there any trouble with the illness just now?"

Su Wanrou shook her head and said: "It's nothing, the fetus is normal, it's been four or five months, but it's just not in a good mood. I don't dare to give her medicine casually, I can only comfort her, because her illness cannot be cured by soup and medicine."

Du Wenhao said: "What's the matter? What happened?"

"She is an embroiderer of Wu's family embroidery. Because she was pregnant, the shopkeeper of the embroidery workshop fired her. In fact, she is quite good at embroidery, but the whole family depends on her to earn money in the embroidery workshop. , her husband passed away, and her children were still young. Her parents-in-law, plus her mother’s family, there are no two people in a large group who can earn money. It mainly depends on her. If she is fired, the whole family will immediately fall into embarrassment, so Very sad. She is Wu Xiaojiao's neighbor and good friend. Wu Xiaojiao was afraid that she would break her body from crying and her fetus would move, so she brought her to see a doctor."

Du Wenhao frowned, and said a little unhappy: "It's unreasonable to resign because of pregnancy! It's not because she made any other mistakes. Pregnancy is sacred for a woman, and the sacred mission of multiplying life and inheriting incense, How can you dismiss someone because of this matter? You should go to the shopkeeper to reason."

Su Wanrou rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said, "You are a nerd, who do you ask for an argument for this kind of thing? If they don't want you, then they don't want you."

Du Wenhao was a little helpless, indeed, in modern society, this definitely constitutes a working mechanism, and it is possible to win the lawsuit.But in ancient times, the awareness of labor protection had not yet been established, and whether to hire employees was entirely a matter of a word from the shopkeeper. He could dismiss people without any reason, and the Yamen didn't care.

Du Wenhao sighed, a little helpless.As a person from modern society, when encountering ancient problems, of course, he can only use ancient methods to solve them.What did he think of?Said: "By the way, you just said that she is the embroiderer of my family's embroidery workshop, which Wu family?"

"How many Wu families are there in the capital? The Wu families of the four major families."

"Wu Qihuang, didn't he have his head chopped off?"

"Wu Qihuang is just a branch of the Wu family. The Wu family is a big one! The suzerain, Wu Heishen, is very powerful. This old house belongs to their family. He is a black and white guy, who can afford it?"

Du Wenhao couldn't help laughing, and said: "So it's him, it's easy to handle. How about this, you go tell Wu Xiaojiao and tell her to bring that pregnant woman here in the afternoon, and I'll tell Wu Heishen , let him rehire, no problem."

"You know Wu Heishen, what are you bragging about?"

"I can give him a side to talk to, don't worry about anything else, just call someone over."

Su Wanrou now finds that Du Wenhao's ability is more and more beyond her imagination, this is really not bragging, she immediately agreed.Hurry up and ask someone to notify them.

Du Wenhao then called Xu Huaqiang over and asked him to send someone to notify Wuheishen to come in the afternoon.

After Xu Huaqiang sent the guards, the guards soon returned with Wu Heishen's butler.The housekeeper said to him respectfully: "Mr. Du, our master left the city early in the morning and may not be able to return until the evening. If there is anything you can do, you can do it properly. .”

Du Wenhao said: "It's nothing. I have a friend who is pregnant. She is the embroiderer of your embroidery workshop. Her whole family counts on her to embroider for a living. But your embroidery workshop dismissed her. I asked, and she has nothing else to do." Wrong, it's because I'm pregnant. I don't think it's appropriate, can I continue to use her? I heard that she is good at embroidery."

The housekeeper immediately agreed: "No problem, I'll do it for you right now. Which embroidery workshop does she belong to?"

Du Wenhao scratched his head and asked, "Do you have many embroidery workshops in Wu's family?"

The butler said with a little pride, "Yes, there are more than a dozen in Hangzhou, all over the city."

"Well, if she comes this afternoon, I'll ask her."

The butler nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to pick up the old lady in the afternoon. It's a trivial matter. I'll ask my subordinates to take her there and let them re-employ her. It's a trivial matter, sir, don't worry."

"Okay."

In the afternoon, Wu Xiaojiao brought Xiuniang to the raw medicine shop. An attendant left by Wu Heishen's housekeeper was already waiting here. After meeting, they went to the embroidery workshop together.

When they came to the embroidery workshop, the attendant called the shopkeeper and said, "This embroidery lady is hired again."

Of course the shopkeeper knew the servants around the housekeeper, so he quickly nodded and bowed and promised that there was no problem, but he hesitated and said in a low voice: "But she is pregnant, and her hands and feet are not good. If she hurts her fetal gas, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

The entourage said: "Why do you care so much? These are his own business. Besides, this is the housekeeper's order. Do you know who he is looking for? Mr. Du from the raw medicine shop."

The shopkeeper gasped, and couldn't help but take a good look at Xiu Niang several times, and said in a low voice, "It was the son-in-law who came to Changshengtang, and later came out to open a herbal medicine shop."

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him? Was our master beheaded after being captured and sent to the yamen by his family? He knew him even when he was turned into ashes."

Although the attendant was respectful on the surface, he had always had a grudge against Du Wenhao in his stomach.He thinks this is a great shame to the Wu family. Although he is a servant, he treats himself as a master and is superior to others.Wu Qihuang's incident caused the Wu family to suffer a heavy blow. It turned out that the entire herbal medicine store in Hangzhou was basically owned by their Wu family, but now they were going to be divided into ten shares for sale, and the largest one was bought by Du Wenhao. Including the old house he liked, all of them belonged to him, so the follower was very angry and cursed a few words.

Shopkeeper Wu rolled his eyes and said, "So, actually, I'm also dissatisfied with Du Wenhao in my stomach."

"Of course, he caused the Wu family to become like this, and the suzerain can't help it. I don't know what kind of backer the doctor found. The suzerain who harmed him dared not speak out against him, but I heard that the magistrate of Qiantang County, the original county Weilong Xuanwu's son was saved by him, maybe that's the reason. But it's hard to say, Longxianwei, a small county magistrate, is not in the eyes of the Wu family, but why the suzerain is so humble to him? I don't understand .”

Saying this, the attendant waved his hand and left.

Shopkeeper Wu looked Xiuniang up and down, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Come with me."

Xiuniang followed him into the back room, shopkeeper Wu sat down on the high chair, Erlang raised his legs, and said in a cold voice: "Well, you can find such a big backer, do you know that the surname Du is our Wu The nemesis of the family? So he was asked to deliberately piss us off."

Xiu Niang was shocked, and shook her head again and again: "No, I don't know this Mr. Du. It was because I had congenital gas and asked my friend to take me to see the doctor. She took me there, and I don't know that Mr. Du. Herbal medicine shop, I don’t know how he would help me with this favor?”

"You can still quibble, don't you want to come back? Very good, you can come back, first kneel down and beat my legs."

Xiu Niang was taken aback, and looked at shopkeeper Wu in disbelief.

Shopkeeper Wu said: "That's right, beat my legs, pour tea and wipe the floor, your job is to serve me. And you have to kneel down for everything, you can do it if you want, I have the final say on my embroidery room."

Xiu Niang's face turned pale, remembering that the whole family was waiting for her to take the money back to support the family, she gritted her teeth, gently lifted her robe and knelt on the ground to beat shopkeeper Wu's legs.

Shopkeeper Wu took the tea and sipped it slowly, after a while.He shouted: "Didn't you see that my tea is cold? Pour me water, remember, go on your knees."

Xiu Niang had no choice but to kneel down and hold his teacup to make water, put it away when she came back, and continued to beat her legs.At this time, a guy came in to report that there was something wrong with the workshop and asked him to go and have a look.He got up and walked out.Pointing at the embroiderer, she said, "Wipe the floor clean for me, wipe it on your knees. If you come back and see you standing up, get out. This is your mistake, I didn't deliberately find fault."

Saying that, she walked away, and Xiu Niang had to kneel on the ground with a rag to wipe the floor.

This day, when she got off work in the evening, she knelt on her knees for a long time. One leg was almost gone, and her knee hurt so much.

She gritted her teeth and persisted, and limped back home. She didn't dare to tell her family when she got the wages, and hid in the quilt and cried.

The next day I went to the workshop again, but shopkeeper Wu still told her to kneel and beat her legs, and wiped the floor with things to clean up.In addition to standing up to wipe from a high place, you must kneel wherever you can kneel and reach, and come over and beat your legs after finishing your errands.Shopkeeper Wu asked her to wipe the floor when she went out, even if she had already wiped it, she had to wipe it again and again.Xiuniang knew that shopkeeper Wu was deliberately torturing her, so she could only endure it in order to make money.
