Chapter 18

The doctor finished binding up Jiang Kui's broken leg bone. Fortunately, he was wearing thick winter clothes, and there were no scratches on other parts of his body. He prescribed medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and the treatment came to an end.Since Jiang Kui was a celebrity, and Rongyin Hall was also known as Man Jiangnan, the doctor was naturally very attentive, and he took the initiative to say that he would definitely come to see him the next day.

Liu Shenghe was the one who came forward for these incidents, and Mingyu became a little girl again at this moment, just staying by her grandfather's side until she returned to Bailuzhai.It was already late at night, and the first soup was boiled out, and after he drank it, his complexion improved.Zhou's mother used to be a maid of Jiang's family, and later married to Ruan's family with Jiang's family, and now she volunteers to stay and serve the old man, and together with Jiang Kui, urges Ming Yu to rest.Only then did Ming Yu reluctantly return to the room where she lived last night.The boots and socks were removed, and the exposed feet were already frozen and stiff, and I couldn't feel it when I pressed them down.It turned out that the snow had been poured in from the mouth of the boots, and it was caused by the melting of the feet.

Chun Yuan washed her clean, wiped it dry with a soft cloth, rubbed it with her usual antifreeze snake ointment, stuffed it into the quilt, and sat in it herself, rubbing her hands to invigorate the blood.

"The girl has never suffered so much... Her feet are frozen like this, she should have said it a long time ago..."

Chunyuan felt distressed, and while rubbing, she complained in a low voice.

At this moment, Ming Yu relaxed and felt weak. After being rubbed by Chun Yuan for a long time, Ming Yu gradually regained some feeling, but it was painful and itchy.

"It's good that my grandpa is fine, and it's fine when my feet warm up."

Ming Yu smiled slightly.

Chunyuan looked at her for a moment, then suddenly shook her head and sighed with a smile: "Just last night, Zhou's mother told me that the girl is very different from before, and that the wife joked in private that the girl is a little lucky star. Looking at it now, this little lucky star , It was really hit by my wife. It's a bit strange to say it, why did the girl suddenly think of coming to find the old man?"

"Good sister, what kind of hair oil did you put on, and it smells good?"

Ming Yu didn't answer, just smiled and stretched out her hand to pick up the lock of hair hanging on her chest, and sat up to get the news.Chun Yuan was taken aback, and said, "I think my hair is greasy, and I never use it."

"That's why you smell good. You can sleep in the bed with me at night. Such a fragrant and warm sister will marry a man after two years with me. I really don't want to..."

Chun Yuan snorted, as if to hit her, Ming Yu hurriedly hid in the bed to dodge, the two laughed for a while, and Chun Yuan blushed and said: "If the girl doesn't think I'm stupid, even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I'm happy." Be by the girl's side. What's so good about being a man? Those who are officials and have money marry one house after another, while those who don't have money will only drink and go crazy, and vent their anger on their own mother-in-law. I have seen it through."

Chunyuan's father, Zhou Da, who is currently in charge of the hospital handyman, has a bad temper. He used to beat and scold her mother when he was drunk.As the eldest daughter, she was often tired and beaten when she was protecting her mother.Later, when she was selected to be Ming Yu's sidekick, her father gradually restrained herself a bit, but the usual little beatings and scolding were still indispensable. Her mother was afraid of making a scene and being laughed at, so she could only live in humiliation.

Ming Yu said that on purpose just now, just to tease her away from the topic, but unexpectedly, it caused her such a sad incident, feeling a little uncomfortable, and asked: "Your father still often beats and scolds your mother now?"

Chun Yuan hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's much better than before."

Ming Yu snorted, frowned, and said, "What I hate the most now is men who are unlucky. Your father is so indifferent, you have to let him know that women are not born to be bullied by him."

Chunyuan saw her elder girl's serious face, she didn't sound like she was joking, she was startled, and looked at her fixedly.

It was only then that Ming Yu realized that her words were a bit harsh, not like the words of a ten-year-old girl. She coughed, then turned to smile and said, "Not all men's families are like what you said. Look at my father, yes My mother is like pearls and jade. Even if I want my sister to accompany me for the rest of my life, I dare not curse you for not meeting a good brother-in-law. Don't worry, sister, I will marry a good man in the future."

Chun Yuan smiled and sighed: "Master and Madam are fate cultivated in the previous life, I dare not think so good. It's a girl with such a beautiful heart, I don't know which family will be blessed to ask for it in the future."

Ming Yu said with a smile: "Look, how old I am, you dare to make fun of me. Speaking of which, I am afraid that a man like my father is really unique in the world. There is no one who can match him. Why bother to ruin yourself? Simply live on your own, and then bring a sister and your baby to come and force him to be a goddaughter and son to prevent old age. Isn't it better to wrong yourself to look at those dirty men's eyes and act like this? Much better?"

Chun Yuan opened her eyes wide and scolded: "Say such crazy words! See if I won't tell my wife to scold you!"

"You dare to tell my mother, from now on I will marry you to the stupid second son of Mrs. Liu's family!"

Ming Yu said.

Chun Yuan was startled, and when she saw Ming Yu's narrow face, her face turned red, and she pounced on her to scratch her, and shouted, "Is there anyone who is such a young lady? How can you take someone down like this?" make fun of!"

The second son is the son of Liu Shenghe and his wife, whose name is Liu Xiangyang.This couple is extremely capable, but they gave birth to a son who was stupid. A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old stood tall and powerful, but he was very honest and stuttered when he met the girls in the mansion. He was so badass that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence, and was often teased secretly by some naughty little girls. He only laughed a few times and didn't tell his mother.Until one time later, Dantao, the little girl next to Mingpei, deliberately teased him to talk, told him to be dumb, and imitated him to stutter. By chance, she was bumped into by Mrs. Liu, who drove Dantao away angrily, and sued him again. Shi there.Jiang Shi was funny and angry at the same time, he hurriedly comforted Mrs. Liu with words, fined Dan Tao a month's salary, and sent a message, saying that whoever dares to do this next time will not be lightly forgiven, and that's it. Stop this vibe.It's just that since then, no one has called his name anymore, but the nickname "Dumb Erzi" has spread behind his back.Although Liu Shenghe and his wife knew about it, it was hard to silence everyone.He went back to teach his son a lesson, but he didn't take it seriously, and the husband and wife could only sigh secretly.I know that this son will not take over his own class in the future, even an ordinary shop clerk can't do well. Seeing that he still has a solid body, he was sent to the martial arts gym early to learn fists, feet, knives and guns. it is good.

A few months ago, when Ming Yu first took charge of the house, one day she asked Chun Yuan to ask Sister-in-law Liu about something, but Sister-in-law Liu was not there, so she happened to meet Liu Xiangyang who had come back in his yard, and she asked a few words.As soon as Liu Xiangyang saw Chunyuan, his face flushed red, he babbled for a while, but couldn't utter a word.Chunyuan knew that he was an honest person, and he was not used to making fun of others like other girls, so she thanked him and came back when she couldn't find anything.I don’t want Liu Xiangyang to meet a girl who doesn’t laugh when she sees her stuttering for the first time, and she is so green, so she has become rooted in her heart, and she will not go to the martial arts hall. Driving for her, the number of times increased a few times, and gradually it was seen that people spread the word.Sister-in-law Liu was so frightened that she hurriedly drove her son to the martial arts gym and refused to let him return to Rongyin Hall, and she went to the Jiang family to refute the rumors and plead guilty.Jiang shi said a few words of comfort, and the matter passed.Xue Nan who is beside Jiang Shi has always been on good terms with Chun Yuan, so she couldn't help but secretly told her.It was only then that Chunyuan realized that before she came, someone had gotten involved with that stupid boy like this behind her back. She was ashamed and angry, and cried for a long time before being persuaded by Ming Yu, who swore that she would never go there again. At Sister-in-law Liu's house, if the girl has something to do, she can send someone else to go.Ming Yu complied, and gradually stopped.Unexpectedly, at this moment but suddenly being mentioned like this, Chunyuan naturally turned her face in shame.

Ming Yu had seen Liu Xiangyang before, and with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he felt that he was an honest person, not really a fool, so he made this joke about Chunyuan.Seeing her willow eyebrows pounced upside down to scratch her itch, she hurriedly got into the bed to hide, but she couldn't hide from Chun Yuan's hand, she almost died from laughing, begging for mercy, Chun Yuan stopped her hand, He stroked some of his fallen sideburns, and said angrily: "Next time you dare to speak like this, I'll be really angry."

"My good sister, I don't dare to do it again!" Ming Yu tried her best to hold back her laughter, and frowned again, "My feet still hurt..."

Chunyuan hurriedly held her feet and started rubbing them again. Mingyu sighed comfortably, retracted her feet and said, "Okay. Mommy Zhou won't be here tonight, so it would be troublesome for you to make a sleeper berth, so just sleep with me. People are warmer."

Chunyuan complied, went down to wash her hands and feet, and changed to a new hot lady Tang, then turned on the lamp, and fell asleep with Mingyu.

Mingyu woke up the next day, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that the window was covered with tissue paper, and Chunyuan, who slept outside her last night, had long since disappeared, so she sat up and called out, seeing her come in from outside, she smiled and said, "Miss, are you awake? It’s been a long sleep, it’s almost noon.”

Ming Yu let out a cry, and hurriedly lifted the quilt to stay on the bed, and asked, "Is my grandfather feeling better?"

Chunyuan stepped forward to help her dress, and replied: "I just went to see it. Mother Zhou said that the old man only complained of a headache and leg pain last night. He took medicine and porridge early in the morning, but his spirit suddenly improved. , and wishing to see you right away, I sent Zhou's mother to visit several times, knowing that you were still sleeping, so I endured it..."

Ming Yu couldn't help laughing.This grandfather looked weird to others, but she knew that the old man was just straight-hearted, and now that he was getting older, he became more eclectic, afraid that he would be impatient after waiting for a long time, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and put on a suit When I took off the socks, I realized that the soles of my feet were swollen.

Chunyuan saw it, and hurriedly went to get the snake ointment again, and said distressedly: "I have frostbite on my hands and feet when I get cold, so I just brought it, it's just an ordinary ointment, girl, use it first, I will tell the housekeeper , ask him to get the frostbite ointment.”

Ming Yu said with a smile: "It's all born by a mother. If you can use it, I can't use it? But some trivial things don't need to be known to everyone, as if I am so delicate. Let's see in two days Look, let’s talk about it if it’s really bad.”

Chunyuan had no choice but to give up.After applying the ointment, he carefully put on socks for her.The pair of boots I wore yesterday were still soaking wet, so I couldn't wear them anymore. Fortunately, I had another pair of shoes in my bag when I came here, so I brought them here.Ming Yu slowly slipped it in. Perhaps it was because of her swollen feet that she felt that the shoes were a lot tighter, and it hurt when she stepped on them.Resisting walking and jumping a few steps, I got used to it.After washing up hastily and eating the still hot breakfast, I immediately went to my grandfather's south room.

The sun was shining brightly after a round of snow outside, making the snow whiter and brighter, and the black tiles on the porch were dripping with melted snow.When Mingyu arrived at Jiang Kui's south room, he met Banqing, a painting boy at the door.That Banqing was probably taught by Liu Shenghe yesterday, her eyes were still a little swollen at the moment, when she saw Ming Yu approaching, she lowered her head and ran away.Ming Yu smiled, pushed the door open and entered, stunned for a moment, saw her grandfather sitting on the couch with bandages on her head and legs wrapped around a frame, but she was staring at a small mahogany table specially placed in front of her with interest. There is something on the wall, but the Xiezui Bridge stands beside it, and he is looking at a scroll on the wall at the moment.

Ming Yu was about to back out, but Jiang Kui raised his head, his eyes lit up, he immediately waved to her, and said, "Girl Yu, come here quickly, I'll show you something nice!"

Ming Yu knew that his grandfather had a rebellious personality, and the concept of defense between men and women held by the world, in his view, was a fig leaf for male prostitutes and female thieves.Now that he has crashed into it, Xie Zuiqiao also turned his head to see himself, and it would be petty to back out, so he simply went in, greeted Xie Zuiqiao, and said: "Fortunately, my grandfather was safe and sound with the help of the young master yesterday. Thank you, young master. "

Xie Zuiqiao smiled and waved his hands and said: "It's just a handy job. Even Molu, he has to take action when he encounters such a thing, let alone the old man, Miss Ruan doesn't have to worry about it. And the words of thanks have already been said by the housekeeper last night I don’t know how much, I can recite it backwards now.”

Ming Yu was taken aback, but he didn't expect this person to be a bit of a joke, and said seriously: "It's a courtesy to thank others for help, and it's natural."

"Girl Yu, don't be so sour there. Although I haven't talked with Zuiqiao for half a day, I still consider myself a confidant. He won't be surprised if you don't say thank you. Come quickly and see this thing!"

Ming Yu heard her grandfather calling her again, and turned her head to look over.

Although she just heard Chunyuan say that he was in better spirits this morning, she did not expect it to be so good, seeing that he was almost dancing, she walked over, called "grandfather", and said: "I just had a dangerous situation yesterday, so I should have a good rest this morning..."

Before Mingyu could finish speaking, Jiang Kui interrupted: "Silly girl, I haven't seen you for half a year. How come you have learned Wu Xing's words? Don't you know that peace of mind is the best medicine? I'll talk to Zuiqiao Very happy, I am happy to see this thing, wouldn't it be better for Bi Gan to lie here and meet the big eyes of that black apricot?"

Wu Xing was Zhou's mother's name when she was a girl.Now in Rongyin Hall, besides the old lady who is next to Mother Rong, she is the most respectable.Hearing her name being called by his grandfather at this moment, I felt amused. I was about to speak when I heard the sound of the door being pushed open behind me. Looking back, I saw Zhou's mother came in with a tiger's face, with a bowl in her hand. Medicine juice, holding back his breath, said: "Grandpa, the older people are, the more respected they are, you are lucky, you are not looking like an old man anymore! There is no reason to talk about people like this in front of guests, and you are not afraid of being laughed at!"

Ming Yu held back her laughter, and hurried over to take the plate in her hand, but Chun Yuan was the first to take it.Zhou's mother glanced at Xie Zuiqiao out of the corner of her eye, and saw that he had turned his back to him, as if he was holding back a smile. She felt that she had lost face, and hurriedly took advantage of the time when the old man was drinking medicine, and secretly pulled Mingyu out, and went to the corridor. Only then did he start to complain in a low voice: "Miss, you are judging. The old man fell so hard yesterday, and he was in pain all night last night. He will feel better this morning. I will tell him to take the opportunity to rest more. I don't want him to know that the General's Mansion Mr. Xie is here, so I must invite him to talk. Mr. Xie brought the bamboo lump over, afraid of disturbing his rest, and said goodbye to leave after talking, but he kept talking, and then took the bamboo root Looked left and right like a baby, and couldn’t get enough of it all morning, and urged me several times to wake you up and watch it together. I only tried to persuade him a few words, but he thought I was noisy. You said Even if this thing came from the General’s Mansion, it’s just a bunch of bamboo roots, what’s so interesting about it…”

Zhou's mother was still chattering, but Ming Yu heard his grandfather calling him again, so he hurriedly patted Xia Zhou's mother's hand, and said in a low voice, "I see, I'll persuade him to rest later."

"Come on, girl Yu, come and have a look at this thing. Although it is a lump of bamboo root, it has become a wonder of creation only after passing through the hands of famous experts. If you test your eyesight today, may you tell its origin? I I heard that you are helping your mother to take care of the housework at home, I am afraid that if you want to be a housekeeper, you will wear away all the elegance and aura of the past."

Jiang Kui had finished drinking the medicine, saw Ming Yu coming in, looked at her with a smile, his eyebrows twitched, and his eyes shone with joy.
