good wife

Chapter 11
Mrs. Gu respectfully said to the old man: "Let the old man see a joke. The old man's life-saving grace will be rewarded generously by the little lady." Then she turned to Liu Mama and said, "Go and ask the kitchen to cook more dishes. Send it to the front hall, and today the three of us, mother and son, will treat the old man well to express our gratitude."

Jingyi said: "Mother, there is still Xiang'er outside that hasn't been dealt with. I ordered someone to beat her twenty sticks just now, and she is still waiting outside."

Gu Shi nodded, she heard the conversation between Jingyi and Xiang'er clearly, she knew that Xiang'er was not kind.

A group of people got up and went to the front hall, and Mrs. Gu sent someone to call the steward of Zhuangzi to answer.

After a while, the steward came.After greeting Gu and the others, he respectfully stood aside.

Gu sipped a few sips of tea and said: "There is a maid in my room whose hands and feet are not clean. Today, I ordered someone to beat twenty boards. I don't dare to keep such a slave. Look at this village. If there is any suitable person, just leave this girl in Zhuangzi and make a promise. If there is no one, I have no choice but to have her sold out."

The steward heard the words and thought about it, and knew that Madam would definitely not tolerate this girl anymore, serving by Madam's side, she must not be bad in looks.I just offended Madam, I'm afraid I can't promise it to some good family.Madam said that her hands and feet were not clean, so maybe this girl has something on her mind?I am the steward of the Zhuangzi, but I am not a servant of the Houfu?Here, madam, there is absolutely no way to offend.

The steward made up his mind and said respectfully: "Mrs., there is only one boy who raises horses in the Zhuangzi and has not been married yet. It's just that this boy is too ugly. I'm afraid the young girl won't let me marry."

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu glanced at Liu Mama calmly. Liu Mama understood, and said with a light smile: "Look at what the steward said. She is a lowly servant girl who has made a serious mistake. She is already sold out by the master." It's a great favor to her, how dare you pick on your husband's appearance? It's just a few days, and please arrange it as soon as possible."

The steward responded hurriedly, and made a promise again and again before retreating.And Xiang'er here was beaten twenty boards, how can she move?They dragged her to the woodshed and locked her up.

At this time, Jingyi couldn't help but have some admiration for her mother.If she wanted to punish a servant, she didn't need to say anything at all, people already understood what the master was thinking.Where is the need for a mother to speak?This is the master of house fighting!
I always thought that my mother was too cowardly to be in such a situation. It seemed that my mother was waiting for an opportunity to find a reason to pull out all the eyeliner that the man had placed beside her in one go.Jingyi believes that even if she and her second brother don't come, her mother will find a way to deal with these people.Mother really can bear it, let it go!
Thinking of this, Jing Yi couldn't help but recall that when she was in the waiting mansion, the little sparrow told herself that she was pushed down the rockery by her sister-in-law.Is there any connection between the two?How could a little concubine have the guts to do something to Miss Di?And to put Miss Di to death?Is it just a quarrel or a fight between two sisters?No, it is impossible, it will never be that simple.Jingyi could not help shaking her head lightly.

Su Ming saw that his sister seemed to be distracted, but shook his head again, and asked with concern: "Sister, what's wrong with sister? But you don't feel well?"

Jingyi came back to her senses, looked at Su Ming with a smile, and shook her head.

The old man watched Jingyi's every move, and secretly made up his mind that he must accept this girl as his apprentice, otherwise he would regret it.Thinking of this, the old man said: "Ma'am, Miss once promised the old man that if the old man can cure the root of the disease for the madam, she will promise the old man one condition. I don't know if I can do it right now?"

Gu Shi was taken aback, and looked at Jingyi.Jingyi smiled with a guilty conscience: "Mother, the old man said that he would never let his daughter do something harmful, right, old man?"

The old man laughed out loud. "What a clever little girl! The old man's request is actually very simple. The old man has been practicing medicine for fifty years, and he only has one wish unfulfilled. Now the old man only accepts Qing Tian as his apprentice. Girl, are you willing to study medicine with this old man?"

Since that day, both the old man and Qing Tian stayed on Zhuangzi.It turned out that the old man was actually He Daozi, a well-known genius doctor in Dayuan.He practiced medicine for dozens of years, the former emperor and the present emperor had invited him to be an official in the imperial hospital many times, but he declined all of them.He had been in Kangzheng for six years and cured the stubborn illness of the current Empress Dowager.Overjoyed, the emperor respected him as the number one genius doctor in Dayuan, and gave him a gold medal as a token of his grace.

On this day, Jingyi and Qingtian went to the forest to gather medicine.Jingyi looked at the little birds flying around in the forest, her heart moved, and she said to Qingtian: "Brother Qingtian, you can go over there. It's too hot, I'll go to the stream in front to wash my face first."

Sunny Tian didn't speak, but gave her a sideways glance, "Girls are troublesome!" After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

Jingyi shrugged, and when the sunny day was gone, she ran under a tree and shouted softly: "Little bird, come to me, I have delicious food here!"

After a while, a few birds flew down from the tree and stopped not far from Jingyi.

Jingyi smiled brightly, these days, her abilities have almost recovered.It's just that, to survive in this ancient times, it's still too far away to just rely on her "poor" ability.

Jingyi learned medical skills with He Daozi for a few days, and couldn't help but secretly admire the mystery and profoundness of this Chinese medicine!Jingyi thought that her mother must be someone who is proficient in medical science or someone who was behind her back for her mother to be calculated in this way.Otherwise, how could he come up with such a double insurance trick to assassinate his mother?

On that day, He Daozi proposed to accept her as an apprentice, which happened to be her wish.If he knew medical principles, how could he be so easily restrained?But, thinking about it the other way around, I'm afraid it's not that simple. If the person behind it can come up with such a vicious and comprehensive plan, I'm afraid there will be another trick.

Jingyi lightly held a little bird in her palm, and looked at it carefully. Most of the little bird's body was brown.There are dark brown longitudinal stripes from the top of the head to the upper back, and white eye circles, and a narrow stripe is formed along the upper edge and extends back to the occipital side, forming a clear eyebrow stripe, which is extremely eye-catching.The lower body is brownish yellow, with black vertical stripes from the throat to the upper chest, and the middle part of the abdomen is gray.

From the looks of it, this should be a thrush.Because Jingyi has the ability to communicate with animals, in her previous life, the institute specially set up zoology for her, just to let her know more about the habits of animals, so that she can better assign The purpose of animals.

Thrushes often move alone or in small groups. They are alert and timid. They often stand among the branches of trees and sing, and their songs are euphemistic and pleasant.In Jingyi's previous life, she mostly had contact with ferocious beasts, rarely birds, and usually only some pigeons.Now looking at the thrush bird on the palm of the hand with such a beautiful call and such a beautiful appearance, for a moment, he was overjoyed with joy, and he didn't even notice that someone was approaching him.
