Blissful Days After Widowhood

Chapter 71

Views:

Vomiting blood and fainting, in this day and age, it is really no different from stepping into the gate of hell with half a foot.

Wang Shi was shocked and said, "How is it possible, she was fine just now!"

Gu Yin asked the imperial doctor to see Shen Hanchun, and then called the servants in her yard to ask what happened.

The servant said that nothing really happened, "Only the old lady and the eldest young master have been there, and then Miss Shen locked herself in the house."

Half an hour ago, Mrs Wang went to the yard where Shen Hanchun lived.

The small yard is quiet and elegant, and there are several osmanthus trees, which are fragrant and pleasant.

Wang likes it very much—it doesn't use any precious things, he is a thrifty person!

When Mrs Wang came over alone, Shen Hanchun was not afraid of her. She specially put on a peach pink silver pattern embroidered butterfly flower dress, with a pearl and jasper in her hairpin. .

After getting dressed up, Shen Hanchun put on a consciously impeccable smile, ready to meet Wang's anger—

This mountain village woman came only yesterday, and she came here early this morning, apparently to ask for her guilt. She had left her alone for such a long time, thinking that she had exhausted her patience. It was better to provoke her into a rage, but to make trouble in front of Wu Zhong and his son, she would cry softly...

The more ugly it is, the better, the more chaotic this house is, the more she likes it!

But what disappointed Shen Hanchun was that Mrs Wang was not angry. It was only half an hour. She had looked around in the yard and found that she had a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus here. She had already stepped on the stone table under the tree to pick many of them. Thinking of taking it back to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law must be happy.

On the contrary, it was Shen Hanchun, who loved osmanthus very much. Otherwise, she would not have chosen this small yard far from the main yard, because she liked the osmanthus trees in this yard.

What does this village woman mean? Broke away the sweet-scented osmanthus that represents her, to humiliate her

Wang Shi was smiling, but after seeing Shen Hanchun's outfit, she couldn't smile.

Ordinary girls will definitely not dress like this at ordinary times, don't be interested!

Thinking of the large amount of dowry that might be lost, Mr. Wang was extremely anxious, but he also knew that it was not Shen Hanchun's fault that the family was short of money, and Wu Zhong was to blame.

She tried her best to laugh and said, "Does Miss Shen dress like this at home every day? It's so pretty."

Seeing her smiling face, Shen Hanchun immediately woke up after listening to what she seemed to mean.

She invited Mrs. Wang into the room and said with a tender smile, "Madam is wrong, I'm just dressing up as usual. It's just that the grandfather said that I look good in this way, so..."

Mr. Wang thought to himself, you listened to the old man Hu Yong, what does he know if he looks good or not

When the two were still young ladies and businessmen, in order to see their sweetheart, she wore red and green, gold and silver, and wished she could put all the jewelry on her head, just like that, now it looks like a big show in retrospect, Wu Zhong. I also praised it for being good-looking, and said that it looked very rich!

After eight years of separation, Mr. Wang did not believe that his old man's aesthetics could improve in these eight years.

"Just listen to what he has to say." Wang shi sincerely advised.

This guy is really bad! Not angry, but still talkative, back and forth!

Shen Hanchun became more alert in his heart and asked, "I don't know that Madam came here specially for..."

Wang Shi said, "It's for your marriage, of course."

"My marriage?" Shen Hanchun's smile stopped.

"Yeah," Mrs Wang sighed, "I won't go around in circles, so I'll just say it straight. The family is very nervous now. I'm afraid I won't be able to buy a decent dowry for you."

Of course, it is actually purchased, but it has to be used closely by my daughter-in-law first!

While speaking, Wang looked at Shen Hanchun's face.

Shen Hanchun's face was pale, what does this village woman mean, do you want to marry her off at will? !

And they all know that the British public mansion Jane is in the heart of the emperor. She was there on the day the mansion was opened, watching the gold and silver jewels rewarded by the palace being carried into the imperial mansion like flowing water. This village woman is obviously talking nonsense with her eyes open!

The dowry is obviously a pretext. The village woman's intention is not to say that she should give her to anyone, so naturally there is no need to prepare a generous dowry.

Shen Hanchun's heart set off a huge wave, and said with a white face: "Although I am a commoner, I am free, and I make my own decisions about marriage, and my wife doesn't need to worry about it."

Wang Shi was overjoyed after hearing this!

This girl doesn't want her own dowry!

It was the one who saved Wu Chong's life, Wang Shi still told her, "You're welcome, the dowry that should be given to you will definitely be given to..."

Shen Hanchun immediately said: "It's really unnecessary! I don't think about that yet."

How could she let the Wang family decide her marriage? I also know that there is no benefit!

And she was going to stay in the British government to disturb the family, how could she just leave

"Good girl." Wang shi took her hand and clapped excitedly.

He's a really good person. Hearing that his family can't afford her dowry, he doesn't feel any resentment at all, and insists that she doesn't need to bother.

With this shot of her, Shen Hanchun only felt as if the back of her hand had been beaten by a hammer, and tears came out of her in pain.

Wang Shi's eyes turned red when she saw her, and she thought to herself, how could a girl of this age not want to get married? It must be difficult to understand oneself, so I said that on purpose.

"When you meet someone you like, be sure to tell me." Wang Shi said earnestly, "When the time comes, I will officiate your wedding with the grandfather of the country."

Anyway, as long as you get through the difficulties of these few months, when the salary later comes down, the predicament of the current hardship will be over.

Speaking of which, Wang shi inevitably remembered the 30,000 taels of silver that Wu Zhong gave away before he saw Ying'er.

Alas, I had to save face for him in front of him, so I could only punish him on his knees for half the night in the house.

I still have to let him exercise a lot. After the exercise is finished, he can't peel it off so lightly next time.

Wang shi's eyes narrowed slightly, her complexion darkened, but she still had to put on a kind smile.

This village woman must know her mind, it must be like this!

Shen Hanchun looked at Wang's distorted smiling face, her fingertips trembling, she had lived for two lifetimes, and asked herself some scheming means, but she never thought that beyond the palace walls, there are people with deep scheming like Wang's!

"It's not winter yet, your hands are so cold, take a good rest and take care."

After asking, Mrs Wang remembered Gu Yin's side again and got up to leave.

Going out of the house, Wang found that there was only one servant near the small courtyard.

Of course, Shen Hanchun used to call and support the British government, but since Gu Yin and Mrs Wang came yesterday, Shen Hanchun fainted again, and Wu Zhong didn't care. If you hold her foreign surname again, you won't get together with her.

"Human?" Wang Shi was not very happy.

Hundreds of servants in the house, all of them pay their wages from home every month, only their own family plus the old doctor and Shen Hanchun need to serve, there is no one to serve here, I think they are lazy. . Isn't that the same as taking their own wages for nothing

Shen Hanchun was shocked by her loud shout in the room.

As soon as she said this, a few little girls came in not long after. They were about the same age as Song Shiliu, and they were all too frightened.

On the contrary, the Wang family is not easy to deal with them, and does not have the same knowledge as half-old children.

So Wang said, "Why are you the only one? Forget it, I'll change some people over later."

How can a half-aged child take good care of someone? Wang compares them with Song Pomegranate.

Shen Hanchun was sitting in the room, blowing the warm wind outside, but was dripping with cold sweat.

This lady of the country was really good, she came up to hang her, and she folded the sweet-scented osmanthus in her yard to fight back. Later, his words were false and truthful, implying a sharp edge, and he deliberately beat himself, and finally even replaced the last few loyal little maids by his side.

She fainted just yesterday. She broke out in cold sweat and the wind blew. She felt top-heavy and weak all over, so she forced herself back to the couch.

There was noise outside again, Shen Hanchun fell into a drowsy sleep and called the little maid to ask, only to know that Gu Ye was here.

Shen Hanchun felt colder when he heard her name, just as Gu Ye walked under the window outside her house, and said, "This sick person doesn't have a long life. If he dies, he will die."

That child, the future Lie Emperor, what is he talking about? Who do you say can't live long, damn it

Shen Hanchun's ears were buzzing, and he was so confused that he couldn't tell what was in his previous life.

She forced herself to sit up, but felt her throat heat up, and a mouthful of sweetness spewed out!

Gu Yinxian heard Wang's talk about her conversation with Shen Hanchun, and felt that nothing was wrong. Later, Gu Ye came to him again and asked him how he got there.

Gu Ye explained: "They took me to watch a cockfight, and I chased after the cockfight. Later, the chicken ran away to death, and those people were frightened. I said it was fine, anyway, he was sick and died. died."

Of course Wu Zhong wouldn't keep any cockfights, it was the favorite thing of the playful master of the former palace.

Those fighting cocks were raised up to now, and they were not too young. They ran away to death within a few laps after they were released.

The servants originally wanted to sell well in front of Gu Ye, but he didn't expect to see such an unfortunate thing, so he was naturally frightened.

But Gu Ye didn't pursue it, and the matter passed.

After asking the question, the imperial doctor finished the diagnosis and treatment of Shen Hanchun, saying that she was worried and worried, too frightened, and needed a good rest, otherwise the root of the disease would fall and it would affect her life expectancy.

It's just a dead chicken, if this is a lady from a big family, it's still reasonable to be scared.

Shen Hanchun, a medical woman who came down from the battlefield, said that she was frightened by this incident and vomited blood. No one would believe her.

When Wang shi heard this, she was right in Gu Yin's ear, and she said in a divine way: "You said that in the middle of the day, she stayed in the house well, what could she be scared of? People say that this kind of deep house compound is dead inside. Too many people, not clean. Don’t… don’t be that kind of thing!”

After speaking, Mrs Wang herself was also afraid, so she took Gu Yin's hand.

As a modern person, Gu Yin is of course an atheist, but as a transpersonal person, she can no longer be explained by science.

In addition, in this era, I have seen Qinggong and martial arts that I thought would not exist before, so Gu Yin did not categorically say that it could not be a strange thing, but only said warmly: "Mother don't be afraid. Let's ask Dad, ask this Has anything strange happened at home in the past six months?"

If there were really unclean things, it wouldn't have happened until now.

Wang Shi immediately took their mother and two to find Wu Zhong.

Wu Zhong used to only stay in the house, but now he is practicing walking on crutches in the yard.

Wang shi lifted him by one arm and dragged him into the house half-assistantly.

Gu Yin first talked about the experience of Shen Hanchun vomiting blood, and Mrs. Wang asked, "You have lived here for half a year, have you encountered anything?"

Wu Zhong recalled carefully and said that there was no such thing. Not only has he never encountered it, but he has never heard anyone mention it.

The family looked at each other, no one knew how to explain this bizarre incident.

It just so happened that Wu Qingyi came back at this moment. Seeing that they were all solemn, they asked what happened.

Hearing that it was such a thing, Wu Qingyi said, "My master is good at divination, so it's better to ask him about this kind of thing."

The old doctor was invited by Wu Qingyi. It was lunch time. His old man thought it was his apprentice's filial piety and invited him over for a reunion dinner.

Unexpectedly, this time is not a good thing, the old man's face suddenly collapsed.

But the face is broken, the old doctor still took out the tortoise shell and copper coins, and accounted for a fortune.

After accounting, he was also shocked and said something was wrong.

"It's really not right. This girl's fate is very messy, and it's really strange to live to death." After speaking, he threw his beard and thought about it carefully, "And her fate was suppressed by the fate of the nobles, so this disappears. He grows up, feeds the nobles back."

Wu Zhong was the Duke, Mrs. Wang was his wife, Wu Qingyi was a first-rank general, and Gu Yin and the others were also the Duke's family.

The whole family is extremely precious, and the old medical fairy did not get to the bottom of which noble person's fate suppressed Shen Hanchun.

Wang Shi immediately blinked at Gu Yin.

She felt that this nobleman must be her own daughter-in-law!

Otherwise, Wu Zhong and Wu Qingyi had stayed in the same house with her for so long before, how could it be all right

It was their group who came yesterday, and it was something wrong with Shen Hanchun.

Wang shi would definitely not feel that his life was good, just an ordinary person. The two children are not worth mentioning, their own daughter-in-law, after being taught the craftsmanship by the immortal in a dream, she was reborn, not only helped her avoid disasters, but also lived such a prosperous life!

After blinking at Gu Yin, Wang Shi asked again, "What does this feedback mean?"

The old doctor explained in the vernacular: "People's luck is generally conserved, and she is suppressed, that is, one is going up and down. That is to say, the more unlucky she is, the better the luck of the nobles. Because she herself All the luck has been sucked away.”

And this unheard of good thing? The corners of Wang's mouth couldn't help bending.

Hearing the old medical immortal, he continued: "When a person's luck is low, it's not just bad luck and bad luck, but also affects the person's physical lifespan. In light of this, she vomited blood and fainted to death, and in severe cases, she died. !"

Wang Shi couldn't laugh immediately, she thought that today was the worst result, but she didn't expect it to be light. No matter how greedy she is, she can't risk other people's lives in order to prosper her own family.

"Then sending her away should solve the situation?" Gu Yin asked aloud.

"It's naturally best for her to send it away." This is the first time the old doctor has predicted this kind of hexagram. If he changed other people's homes, he would not tell the other party this kind of hexagram - after all, ordinary people are greedy and know that someone can use it. One's own luck feeds back on one's own, and he will definitely not give up.

But he trusted the apprentice's character, so he told him directly.

It didn't disappoint him, his apprentice and daughter-in-law directly said to send people away. And the rest of the Wu family have no objection. It really is a family worthy of indescribable value.

The old doctor looked at Gu Yin with admiration, then turned to Wu Qingyi and said angrily, "If you don't have anything good to ask me next time, I won't come again!"

Wu Qingyi hurriedly said no, and Gu Yin also smiled and said, "I will make some cakes myself later, and have them send them over. You can taste whether it suits your taste."

The old doctor didn't lose his face anymore. He smiled and said with his beard: "It's still the apprentice and the daughter-in-law who know how to honor people. Unlike some people, hum!"

After Wu Qingyi was trained by him, he respectfully sent him back to the small yard.

After sending the old medical fairy away, Gu Yin discussed with her family, Shen Hanchun was vomiting blood and fainted, and she definitely couldn't move.

As for where to go, the old doctor and immortal also gave advice before leaving, saying that it is best to send them to Taoist temples, temples, and nunneries, and there are gods and Buddhas guarding them, which can save her life.

Coincidentally, Dad Wu used to set up a longevity tablet for Wang and the others in a nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing. He used to add sesame oil every day, and he had some friendship with the host there.

So the final details were discussed, wait for Shen Hanchun to recover, and send her there to recuperate.

When she is well raised, her own money will be turned around, and another sum of money will be enough for her to marry and live her own life.

Of course, since you know that the other party's blood vomiting is influenced by your own family, you can't just have the servants to take care of it. You have to send a representative to visit on a daily basis, and also supervise the servants and let them serve them with all their hearts. It's not like Wang's past today Generally, there are two or three and a half children in the yard.

There is no need to think about the candidate for the representative, everyone looked at Gu Ye.

This child used to wander outside and seek a living by himself. If he hadn't met Gu Yin, he wouldn't know what he would be like now. With such a background, in the family of the prince, the wife of the prince, the general and the wife of the general, is the total number of words not related to you

Moreover, he is a six-year-old child, so he can't influence an adult like Shen Hanchun.

Gu Ye took the errand and asked, "Then I can go out to play after visiting her every day?"

Although he only arrived in the capital yesterday, he went out for a stroll and already knew that this was the most fun place! There is no reason to leave the house today, others are at home, and my heart has already flown outside.

He is a sparrow who can't be idle, and letting him not go out is equivalent to breaking his wings.

Gu Yin looked at Wu Qingyi, and Wu Qingyi understood: "Yes, but you have to let people follow, you can't throw people away."

Wu Qingyi had already selected two servants who knew martial arts and planned to assign them to Gu Ye and Wu An.

Gu Ye nodded immediately and said "OK".

After discussing this matter, the family had lunch.

Wang accompanied Wu Zhong back to the house for a lunch break, and Gu Yin also called Wu Qingyi to the house.

"We said in the morning that it was only scary, why did you break the plate? I'll look at your hand."

As she spoke, Gu Yin took out the wound medicine that had been prepared in advance and sent to the room.

Wu Qingyi's dark and broad palm was held in her hand. There was no bloody wound like Gu Yin thought, only a few small holes were broken, and there was no more bleeding.

But his hand was still scarred, which was left by his bare hands when he was holding the abolished emperor, in order to save Gu Yin who was behind him.

Now a long scar runs through the entire palm, and it feels extra rough to the touch.

"After we parted at that time, did you take medicine for your injury when you went back?" Gu Yin asked.

Her fingers were soft and white, and when they touched the wound, they swept across the wound like a light feather, making his palm itch until it itched elsewhere.

Wu Qingyi lowered his eyes and said softly, "For those who have taken medicine, the scars should be due to physical problems."

Gu Yin did know that someone was born with scars, so she didn't ask any further questions, just sighed.

After taking the medicine, Gu Yin mentioned about the wounded soldier.

Wu Qingyi said sternly: "I think the court should come forward in this matter. They worked for the new dynasty and shouldn't be in such a situation."

"It's natural." Gu Yin sighed again after she finished speaking, "But do you think the imperial court, that is, Your Majesty, can afford it?"

As the home of the first generals in the founding of the country, the British government's government was only able to obtain gold and silver equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver.

And there are no shops or Zhuangzi in the reward. Those should be rented and sold. I think that Emperor Zhengyuan has no money left in his hands.

"Tomorrow I'm going to the palace, I'll ask your majesty then." Seeing Gu Yin's delicate brows furrowing, Wu Qingyi didn't want to see her troubled appearance, so he changed the subject and said, "Go to the restaurant that shopkeeper Zhou mentioned. Have you seen it? Buy it if you like it, I still have some money for myself."

Although Wu Qingyi would not condone his subordinates to plunder the people, he had received some filial piety after leading the army to fight for so many years. They all crossed the Ming Road in front of Emperor Zhengyuan, who was still the King of Righteousness at the time. So he also has his own private room.

Of course, he is not a greedy person, so it is not too much, with a total of 5,000 taels of cash.

"Everyone has already exchanged them into banknotes, and they will be sent back when they come back."

Gu Yin smiled with a blushing face, "It's the spare money of the public, and it's your private money. I'm going to empty my family. I'm ashamed."

Wu Qingyi raised his eyebrows, "What's so embarrassing about my own money? Besides, you didn't hollow it out, that's not..."

He pursed his lips in the direction of the main courtyard, and the two laughed in unison again.

Early the next morning, Wu Qingyi went to the palace to face the saint, and Gu Yin was led by the shopkeeper Zhou to see the restaurant on Taibai Street.

I have to say that Shopkeeper Zhou has a really good vision.

The location of this restaurant is already very good, and the pedestrians who come and go look rich and rich. The place is also spacious. The first floor is as big as the food of the previous three or four Hanshan Town. The backyard is even more spacious, with more than a dozen wing rooms. Whether it is for employees to live or entertain guests, it is very cheap.

Even more rare is that it has a total of five layers!

The whole restaurant was demolished a year ago and then rebuilt. The first and second floors have been renovated and decorated. Everything is brand new and magnificent. It is a pity that the upper three floors have not been repaired, and it is completely the appearance of a rough house.

The bottom two floors and the top three floors are completely two worlds. If you buy this restaurant, the top three floors will naturally be richer and more luxurious than the other two floors. The decoration fee is not a small sum of money.

The price of this big restaurant is 15,000 taels, and the price is very fair.

But for Gu Yin, 15,000 taels can be afforded at home, and Wang and the others are also willing to pay. But even if the first and second floors are bought and opened, and the upper three floors are put on hold without decoration, there is no start-up capital at all.

Gu Yin almost suffered from a loss of no working capital for opening a business, and Gu Yin did not want to repeat the same mistakes.

So after reading it, Gu Yin came back with shopkeeper Zhou, and the two discussed whether to buy a room for about 10,000 taels.

Shopkeeper Zhou said to go and find out.

Before lunch, Wu Qingyi also came back, and what he did was not very smooth.

As Gu Yin said, Emperor Zhengyuan was helpless to the old army of wounded soldiers.

He and Wu Qingyi used to eat and live together, like brothers.

The treasury of a country is to maintain the operation of the entire court. Two to three hundred thousand taels is an astronomical number compared to the average person. Put it in the treasury, that's not a big deal at all.

As for why he is so poor, of course, it is the "credit" of the former emperor's abolition.

He not only indulged in his own enjoyment, but also let the ministers enjoy themselves and lent money to the ministers. After the war, he couldn't even pay the army, otherwise the grass-roots team of the Rebel Army would not have been able to change the dynasty in just ten years.

Now Emperor Zhengyuan has a large pile of IOUs and account books in his hands.

Emperor Zhengyuan naturally wanted to deal with this large amount of bad debt, but unfortunately he sent people out several times, and the people he sent either returned without success, or took bribes from the other party and deliberately delayed. So that for half a year, I didn't want to come back.

Emperor Zhengyuan was also bitter, just as Wu Qingyi mentioned this matter to him, he also pulled Wu Qingyi and wanted him to ask for the account.

Wu Qingyi asked himself if he really couldn't do this, not because he couldn't bear his face, but because most of those who borrowed money were still serving in the new dynasty, and they were all civil servants.

It's not like the bill collectors in the countryside, yelling at people's door or throwing blood and blood, right

Since ancient times, civil officials and military generals have not been the same. He is not a civil servant, and he is afraid that he is not serious, which will scare people sick, not only do the errands, but also cause endless disputes.

He was used to going straight and straight, and was very afraid of the right and wrong of these twists and turns.

As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "Your Majesty was forced to do nothing. He also said that he would distribute the money to me after the incident. Although our family is short of money, I also know that the money is not easy to get."

The original words of Emperor Zhengyuan were - "Qingyi, you can go and ask for it. When you come back, I will give you one percent!"

Don't look at one percent, it doesn't sound like much, but Emperor Zhengyuan has several million taels of bad debts in his hands. If he has to come back, it means that he took tens of thousands of taels for nothing.

If you go into battle to kill the enemy, you can exchange tens of thousands of taels for the family, Wu Qingyi has nothing to say.

Let him do this, he asks himself that he doesn't have the ability, so he can only refuse.

After listening, Gu Yin touched her chin and said, "I have a personal choice."
