Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 232 Women
"Little lady, Miss Anu is here, and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Ah Zhen opened the window to let the morning breeze blow away the bad luck accumulated in the room overnight. Su Tong lay lazily on the soft couch, frowned, and finally struggled to sit up.

"Well, I really don't want to see her."

Having said that, you can't really let the guests wait for nothing, Su Tong doesn't want to be a domineering female yamen, besides, in the capital, a female yamen like her really doesn't have the capital to be 'arrogant and domineering'.

"I don't know why Anu is here again? Is it because of Zhou Wenrui again?"

For Anu, her father, Kou Yan, is not as important as Zhou Wenrui. After all, Kou Yan went to their house only to listen to her mother sing, and rarely saw her, and never gave her father I feel like Zhou Wenrui, on the contrary, has truly fulfilled his father's responsibility.

Su Tong sighed.

Ah Zhen fetched hot water, twisted the handkerchief, wiped Su Tong's face, took a special toothpaste, rinsed her mouth and brushed her teeth. The toothpaste she used was always mint flavored, and she always loved the refreshing taste.

The female envoy next to her was holding a carefully carved wooden box and placed it lightly on the table. After Su Tong finished washing, he reached for an essential oil and applied some on his face.

The female envoy next to her kept staring at the glass bottle in Su Tong's hand curiously.

Su Tong laughed. This child is called Ah Man. He is only eight years old. The essential oils produced in the laboratory are too expensive and the output is too small. Even his own people are not enough. It is still one of the most high-end products of Mingyuefang. , Many people only hear the name but not see the shape.

"Ah Zhen, the summer sun is scorching. I remember that the new sunscreen and skin care cream made in the laboratory has been tried by people. First, take a few bottles for the family members, especially the children, who work outside all day. The wind blows the sun. Sun, it’s absolutely impossible not to take good care of it.”

Ah Zhen was suddenly happy, and nodded in agreement.

Ah Man pursed his lips and smiled, his face flushed, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

Su Tong didn't make fun of her either. He stood up and asked Ah Zhen and Ah Man to put on new clothes.

The female envoys around her are always short-lived. Generally, after accumulating tuition fees and books, they will choose to go to school to study, or to help in the shop, so Ah Zhen has been waiting for her and refuses to leave. Ah Man probably won’t be able to stay. After a while, this child was smarter than the previous female envoys, and he learned things very quickly. Even Erlang mentioned a few days ago, saying that Ah Man did his arithmetic homework after only a few days, which is really amazing.

After tidying up his clothes, Su Tong went out to meet the guests.

Anu was waiting in the flower hall, his complexion was not bad, although he was a little pale, but he was in good spirits, far from the blurry tears when we met a few times last time.

Sufang stood behind her, her figure was thin and pitiful, her eyes and brows seemed to be frightened.

Su Tong glanced at it casually, asked Ah Zhen to serve tea, and then smiled: "A Nu, how is Kou Zhifu's health?"

"Fortunately, I went to pick up Mrs. Guo in person yesterday." Anu hooked the corners of her lips and smiled ironically, "I came here this time to ask the young lady to let me see Uncle Zhou. Prison is not good. Jin, now I don't want to ask Mrs. Guo for money to bribe those officials, and I don't even want to give the money left by my mother."

Su Tong was taken aback - didn't he just go there the day before yesterday?

The day before yesterday Zhou Wenrui held an interrogation and sentenced Qiu Hou to be executed. Su Wencheng had some sympathy for him, and even specially asked for a decree to let Zhou Wenrui's concubine go to meet him. , The Zhou family is not considered the last.

The law at this time was actually very humane. If a prisoner who had committed a capital crime had not left any heirs and had his own wife or concubine, the government would generally provide convenience if he applied.

It's just that when Su Tong knew about it, he really didn't know what to say. Zhou Wenrui acted so affectionately, as if he had confessed Miss Mei as a goddess, but he still kept a maid and a concubine at home. The concubine was given to him by Kou Yu, and it is said that he is somewhat doted on.

A man with a woman, he still has the nerve to say something affectionate, and even makes an act of elopement and murder... Really... Su Tong feels that his three views are about to collapse, and he can't afford to be hurt.

However, including Su Wencheng, no one found anything wrong, let alone those men, men are always 'informal'.

But Anu is a girl, when she went to see him the day before yesterday, she was still crying with snot and tears, heartbroken, and even every word, pitying her for paying the wrong person with affection.

Zhou Wenrui even held Anu's hand and said a lot of things, such as taking care of yourself, marrying obediently, listening to your father, and stop messing around.

Even a few jailers couldn't help feeling sad, and sighed a few words for their 'enemies'. However, there were also a few gossips, secretly speculating that Anu was not Kou Yu's daughter at all, and that it might be Zhou Wenrui's private affair. Give birth to a daughter, or if Zhou killed Miss Mei, Anu wouldn't hate him to death?

Su Tong could see that it was not that Anu didn't hate or resent, but losing his mother and him who was like his biological father, he couldn't help but lose control of his emotions.

At that time, Su Tong sent her back to Kou's house, and then turned around to go to school. It's better to teach the students from head to toe by herself. At least everyone has a correct three views, and all kinds of things with no lower limit will not happen in in school.

When I went to school, Su Tong took a class. The main idea was that if one day, the female students met a man who said that he was deeply in love, don't forget to see if there is a concubine in his family. If there is a concubine, He still has a deep affection for her outside, and has countless sweet words, even if he really fascinated himself, he still has to slap her to end it.

Su Tong would rather let his female students marry an ordinary man who doesn't have so many affections in this era, and he doesn't want them to play unaffordable love games.

Ordinary men pay attention to rules anyway, and will not embarrass their wives just because of a concubine, but those "love like the sea", in case one day they fall in love with other women outside and marry them back home, they don't know what to do. What a mess.

Su Tong has worked so hard to teach a group of good girls who can be housekeepers, make money, and enjoy themselves. Is it for them to live the hard life of restlessness in the house?

That day, Chen Mo was also listening to the class outside, and he was overjoyed to hear it.

The little lady of the Su family is not very old, but she is serious about teaching the husband skills to the girls, which is really weird.

While laughing, he sat outside the window and listened to Su Tong explain in detail that he couldn't give his whole heart to a man, and that even when the love was strong, he should always be on guard.

Chen Mo unconsciously sighed, shook his head, and wanted to leave, but the voices in the room paused and then rang again.
