Chapter 59

Jin Wen recognized that this person was Mr. Wuyou who confronted the Ninth Princess on behalf of Jinxi in Prince Ping's Mansion that day, and hurriedly stopped and replied: "Mr. Wuyou, please tell me!"

Zhao Tingxuan smiled and said: "There is nothing important to say, I just wish Miss Saturday a speedy recovery, and you should also be careful about your diet and daily life. Another sentence is that good medicine is good for the disease, so don't stop taking medicine just because the medicine is bitter."

Zhao Tingxuan's expression was gentle and calm, and he didn't shy away from caring for Jinxi because of the conflict between men and women.The voice is loud and clear, like a bright moon shining in the sky after a shower, under which everything is pure and untainted.Only a person with an open heart can be so glorious.Jin Wen secretly admired him, no wonder he was called the number one son of the Dali by the world, in addition to his outstanding appearance, he was able to learn well, and his temperament was also as pure as the blue sky and flowing clouds.Such a person, like a mountain, she can only look up to, even approaching is a luxury.In addition to admiration, Jin Wen suddenly felt ashamed and mournful, bowed his head in response, and walked away quickly.

Zhao Tingxuan was very surprised by the sudden grief on Jin Wen's face, he asked Zhou Xiyao in puzzlement, "Did I be rude to Miss Zhou?"

"She lives with Sixth Sister, maybe she's worried about Sixth Sister!" Zhou Xiyao smiled vaguely.He didn't understand this half-sister at all, and he didn't want to understand, let alone why she suddenly changed her face.However, his name of filial piety has moved the world, and he must never let outsiders know that he has estrangement and hostility towards his half-sister.

When Jin Wen returned to Xuefeng Pavilion, Jin Xi also woke up, worrying about a bowl of thick black medicine.Seeing her holding the medicine bowl and sipping it in small sips, if Qing Xing and Ai Mama hadn't stared at her without blinking, she would have thrown the medicine bowl out the window .Jin Wen couldn't help laughing out loud, "Young Master Wuyou is really good at predicting things, I know that you will not drink medicine properly because you are afraid of suffering, so I specially asked me to bring you a message, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease, so you will be cured if you drink the medicine well quick."

Jinxi's eyes lit up immediately, and she wanted to ask a few more questions. Seeing that Dongqing and the others were in the room, she just let out a blank expression, but raised the medicine bowl to her mouth, and drank the medicine in one breath. .

The good medicine is bitter, but... too bitter!Jin Xi's five sense organs were all tangled together, and after a few times of rinsing, she gasped for breath and still wanted to vomit bitterly.She was lying in front of the window and sticking out her tongue in the wind, trying to get the bitter taste out of her mouth, secretly wondering if the second lady cheated the doctor's consultation fee, and the doctor deliberately prescribed such a bitter medicine.

The old lady was afraid that Jinxi would hurt her teeth if she ate sweets, so she never had candied fruit or anything like that in her room.Seeing this, Jin Wen hurried back to the room and brought a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes to Jin Xi, "Quickly use this to press."

Those few pieces of dried sweet potatoes were brought back by Jin Wen from Zhuangzi, they were as hard as stones, Jin Xi chewed them in his mouth for a long time but they still haven't been chewed, and the gluttons were hooked out.After holding back until Jin Wen left, Jin Xi spat out the piece of dried sweet potato that was like dog chew gum in his mouth, and whispered to Mama Ai, "Go and buy me some candied fruit, I want to eat Hui Zhang Ji's candied peaches."

Hui Zhangji's candied peaches cost two silver coins for a small bag, and Ai's mother touched the few big coins in her bosom, feeling a little embarrassed, but couldn't bear to see Jinxi suffer.Going back to the house, he opened the pillow and took out a flat silver hairpin from it.This hairpin was her mother's dowry, and it became her dowry when she got married. Last time, it was snatched away by Gu Mama, and Jin Xi spent a lot of effort to redeem it for her.Since then, she has not dared to wear it out, and has been hiding it in the pillow.Feeling the pattern on it that has been worn out over time, Mama Ai gritted her teeth and put the hairpin into her bosom.

As soon as he left the hospital, Jin Xi sent Qing Xing to call her back again, "You go to Mengde Hall first, and tell the husband to buy a painting in advance. If he doesn't give it to you, he will say that I am suffering from drinking medicine, After I die, he will have no disciples. After you take the painting, you can sell it at a place that sells calligraphy and painting, and then go to buy preserved fruit. By the way, go to Taibaiju to buy a bottle of Wengtouchun for your husband, remember?"

Mother Ai nodded happily, and secretly scolded herself for being old and confused.When Mr. Yun Zong came forward to save Haitang for Jinxi, he agreed to give Jinxi a painting every three months and ask her to sell it for money.Although it has not been three months, but it is only a few days away. Mr. Yun Zong loves the girl so much, so he doesn't care about these few days, right?
Mama Ai trotted all the way to the Mengde Hall. Mr. Yun Zong understood her intentions and didn't make things difficult for her. He splashed ink on the spot and handed it to Mama Ai with a few strokes.Ai's mother saw that there were only three or four stalks of bamboo scattered on it, and she couldn't help but look worried. Mr. Yun Zong saw that she hadn't left after washing his hands, and asked with a frown: "Isn't the stinky girl in a hurry to eat candied fruit? Why don't you go buy it?" ?”

"I beg you to draw a few more bamboos, so that you can sell more money." Ai's mother just opened her mouth, her face flushed with embarrassment, but for Jinxi, she went all out, "When we celebrate the New Year in the countryside, a large piece of bamboo New Year pictures that are full of paper only sell for ten cents, Mr.'s paintings are naturally valuable, but... but the preserved peaches that the girl wants to eat cost two hundred dollars to buy a small bag..."

After understanding what Mama Ai meant, Mr. Yun Zong laughed loudly, "Just sell it, no matter who buys it, you must not sell it for less than 100 taels."

100 taels?Mama Ai looked down at the piece of paper in her hand, and then at Mr. Yun Zong, her mouth was so wide that a duck egg could be stuffed into it.Hey, sir, are you painting bamboo or gold bars? 100 taels can buy several acres of paddy fields!

Whether Ai Mama believes it or not, the magpie pushes and drags her out of Mengde Hall.When he was about to leave the house, he specially asked: "Please, mother, please buy me some sesame crisps."

Ai's mother looked down at the picture in her hand that only drew a few rotten bamboos, and sighed, "If you can sell silver, I will buy it for you. If you can't sell silver, I can't help it!"

I even went to several calligraphy and painting studios, and heard that an unframed plain painting was actually sold for 100 taels. The shopkeeper didn't even look at the painting and ordered the waiter to throw Ai Mama out.Mother Ai touched the silver hairpin in her bosom and stood at the door of the pawnshop looking around for a stick of incense, then stomped to a calligraphy and painting studio not far away.Try it one last time, if it still can't be sold, I will use the hairpin to buy candied fruit for the girl.

Ai's mother walked to the calligraphy and painting studio, looked up at the big shop with five bays, and saw that the people who came in and out were all rich and noble people with gorgeous clothes. No courage to step up.Those small shops didn't pay her any attention, why should such a big shop beat her out?
Just as he was hesitating, a young man inside saw her and came out to say hello with a smile, "Mother, what's your purpose in coming to our Qingyun Pavilion? Don't worry, our Qingyun Pavilion is genuine at a fair price, and no one can deceive you."

"I... I sell calligraphy and paintings!" Ai's mother plucked up her courage and handed the paintings to the boy.

The young man didn't pick up her calligraphy and painting, instead he went down the steps a few steps, supported her arm and let her into the shop, "If you sell calligraphy and painting, tell our shopkeeper, please come in first!"

Mother Ai followed the boy into Qingyunju, and entered a quiet compartment. The boy brought a bowl of hot tea and handed it to her, smiling all over his face, "Wait a minute, I'll make it right away." Take your calligraphy and painting to our shopkeeper."

There are high-quality black lacquered copper chairs in the room, with wax on them, so bright that you can see people's shadows.Mama Ai had only seen such fine furniture in the main room of the second wife, so Mama Ai would not dare to sit on it, let alone touch the fine porcelain high-footed teacup painted in gold.Such a precious thing, if it breaks, even if you sell her, you won't be able to pay for it!

Ai's mother was far away from the furniture and porcelain, and stood by the side in fear, waiting for the letter.The shopkeeper of Qingyunxuan in the backyard also stared at the ink bamboo brought by the boy with a hellish expression, as if he was about to dig a hole in the paper, stared straight at a stick of incense, and suddenly yelled, " That old woman said she wanted 100 taels?"

The little boy broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and nodded heartily.He secretly scolded himself for being inconsiderate, remembering that the shopkeeper said to treat all customers equally, but forgetting that there is an exception to everything.That old woman was crazy about money, and he also went crazy with him. A piece of broken bamboo costs 100 taels, can the shopkeeper be in a hurry?

"Hurry up and get the silver ticket!" The shopkeeper rushed out with the painting in his hand, running so fast that he almost lost his shoe.The boy was really dumbfounded this time, he was kicked by the shopkeeper on the buttocks before he came back to his senses, and went to the cashier to get the bank note.

"Sister-in-law, don't panic, Qingyunxuan has accepted your painting. This is a 100 tael official banknote, please verify it!" The shopkeeper put the banknote in front of Mama Ai, and tried his best to control his voice so as not to let himself Looks too excited. "I just want to tell you that if you have calligraphy and paintings in the future, even if you come to Qingyunxuan to sell them, the price will definitely not be disadvantageous to you!"

"Really...really?" Ai's mother secretly pinched her thigh, making sure that it was not a dream, she picked up the bank note with trembling hands, carefully looked at it several times, turned her back and hid it in her arms.Before leaving the house, he looked at the shopkeeper with suspicion, "There will be calligraphy and paintings in the future, do you really want them?"

The shopkeeper can't wait to write a letter to Ai's mother now, "Yes, yes, as long as it is drawn by this person, we all want it!"

When Mama Ai came out of Qingyunxuan as if in a dream, the shopkeeper immediately jumped and screamed in the room, frightening the boys in the outhouse. Look at me and I look at you, and they all suspect that the old and steady shopkeeper is Not bewitched.

The shopkeeper ignored the surprised guys in the shop, and went straight to Nancheng in a carriage with the painting in his arms.Turning around, he reached the door of a small medical clinic hidden in a remote alley. He looked around to make sure that no one was following him, and then quickly stepped into the medical clinic.

When he entered the room, he excitedly yelled at Shen Chunlin who was taking his pulse, "Brother Shen, come and see!"

After Shen Chunlin frowned and sent the patient away, he said with displeasure: "Liao Cheng, what are you doing here in such a panic in broad daylight? If someone finds out about our relationship, who will take care of the young master in the future?"

Liao Cheng knew that he was reckless and didn't explain it, so he spread the painting on the table impatiently, "What do you think this is?"
