Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 34
"It was written by the little lady?" Mrs. Zhang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I thought I had some knowledge and was quite proud of myself. Now that I see the little lady, I realize that the past 30 years of my life have been in vain."

Su Tong's face turned red immediately, and he laughed and said, "I'm just thinking wildly, writing something to entertain myself, how can I deserve my lady's praise?"

Mrs. Hu grabbed Su Tong's arm with a smile, "Okay, okay, my sister seldom praises others on weekdays, but if I let her praise, the little lady will accept it honestly. She loves Du Liniang very much. Today Be sure to have a long talk with the little lady, let’s go, we sisters invite you to drink tea today, we must respect you.”

This Mrs. Hu is indeed quite naive, and her relationship with Mrs. Zhang is also very good, at least on the surface, it is very good. If you don't say it, no one will believe that these two people are actually the relationship between the mistress and the concubine. .

Su Tong looked at Hu's expression carefully, and secretly wondered whether this person was too good at pretending, with superb methods, or was he really innocent?At least when I saw her for the first time, I didn't see any affectation on her face, but no matter how you can make a lady from a scholarly family live in harmony with her husband's concubine, it shows that the Hu family has great strength. ability.

She had a lot of thoughts in her mind for a moment, but she didn't show it on her face. She lowered her head shyly, showing a little bit of trouble, "I shouldn't refuse to invite you, but I am here to discuss with Master Liu. One thing, this..."

Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "It's okay, anyway, the two of us sisters have nothing to do, so just go, little lady, we just wait."

Su Tong responded with a smile.

Su Wencheng felt a little uneasy, and he finally let go at this time. Although he didn't know what his precious girl wanted to do, he also vaguely understood that the main reason for Su Tong's troubles for so long was because of the two women in front of him. Taking the bait, although it is not a waste of time, is always a failure.

Su Tong is very calm, her actions are simple and leave no trace, no matter how you look at it, even if you ask the most professional policeman in the yamen to investigate, you can only say that she met Zhang and Hu by chance, but In fact, for this coincidence, Su Tong kept that high-spirited person busy for several days just to collect information, and also earnestly speculated on the two people's minds through various channels and observed their behavioral patterns.

In her opinion, according to her preparations, these two people are likely to be hooked. Even if they didn't get hooked this time, Su Tong would still be looking for another opportunity.

If you do mental arithmetic without intention, the possibility of not getting things done is too small.

Su Tong was very calm, without showing any signs of expression, first went to Master Liu to discuss with him about printing the singing book into a book for sale, and then improvised, and asked him if he would like to sign a contract with him to sing exclusively for himself. written book.

Master Liu was quite moved. In fact, he had no ambitions before singing "The Peony Pavilion". More money, less money, even if he is not the worst in this industry, he is still at the bottom, but since he started singing Peony Pavilion, his net worth has doubled. One or two things to consider, not to mention that Su Tong is not a stingy person, and the conditions for opening are really high.

But this is a big deal, and I don’t know if Mr. Nan Ke will write it in the future. Master Liu very carefully asked to think about it for two days, but Su Tong didn’t force it. Anyway, this book is just incidental. She planned to finish writing this book at first. The Peony Pavilion stopped working, and it was only after seeing that the notebooks I wrote were very popular recently that I started to think about it.

Su Wencheng sat on the side, looked at his daughter like a decoration, and talked with people who were dozens of years older than him very skillfully, feeling proud and self-blaming—if he wasn't an incompetent father, How could his 15-year-old daughter be so mature? He hoped that his daughter would be weaker, like her mother, who only read, write, and do everything he likes every day, without worrying about making a living.

Su Tong didn't know his father's inexplicable sadness, and he would see Master Liu five days later, so he went out to meet the two right masters.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Tong went out, he was pointed out by the young man in front of the door - the two ladies were already waiting for him in the private room on the second floor.

Su Wencheng was a man, and he was still a grown man, so he naturally didn't want to be too intimate with a strange lady, so he found a seat by the window opposite the private room and sat down, and ordered a pot of tea.

As a result, after waiting for two pots of tea, the three people in it still didn't come out, only refreshments were brought in like flowing water, and there were brisk laughter spreading from time to time.

After waiting for a long time, Su Wencheng was fidgeting and wanted to take the initiative to see what the three of them were talking about, but it took him half a day. Fortunately, he has studied for many years and still has some skills to cultivate his energy. No matter how anxious he is, he can still sit still Sure enough, finally, when the sky was getting dark, the door of the private room opened, her daughter was held by Mrs. Zhang, and the three of them walked out the door talking and laughing. It looked like a family.

Mrs. Zhang took Su Tong's hand, reluctantly saying, "Don't worry, Ah Tong. The pot of 'Zi Jiaren' has been ill for a long time, and we have invited many people to see it, but they are helpless. Ah Tong wants to see it, just come here. Look, even if you can't save him, it's not your fault, it's just our officials' bad luck."

Su Tong nodded gently: "I am also curious about what a beautiful flower that 'Zi Jiaren' is, and I want to be blessed by Mr. Lu, and since I was young, I like to tend flowers and plants, so I might be able to tell what disease it has. "

Hu's face was bitter: "You are all people who cherish flowers, which makes me look tacky. Ah Tong, if you like it, we have a lot of peonies in our house, just take them."

Su Wencheng was dumbfounded, he really didn't understand how the three strangers could be so intimate in half a day, and they lingered lingeringly for a quarter of an hour just to say goodbye.

On the way home, Su Wencheng inquired round and round, but was stopped by Su Tong without saying a word, only saying that it was a coincidence.

In fact, I can't explain it clearly. How can she explain it to her father, who is dedicated to teaching her daughter to be a lady? Her tricks sound like psychological tactics, but at worst, they are just talking about people and talking nonsense. Not to mention the two ladies, even the cunning and cunning old fox, she is also seven or eight percent sure that she can make the other party feel good about her in the shortest time, at least not rejecting her.

"Father, do you know who those two ladies are?"

Su Wencheng frowned, and thought for a moment: "Just looking at their clothes, they are obviously from rich and noble families, and the older one with a scholarly scent is probably a lady from a scholarly family, but these two sisters don't even have a servant when they go out. Bring, just brought two girls, so that I can't figure out the way."

Su Tong laughed: "One of them is a lady from Zhouzhi County, and the other is a concubine from Zhouzhi County."

Su Wencheng's face froze and he didn't speak for a long time.
