"Fishing in the Songxi" by Li Tang in the former dynasty is a famous painting and an antique.
The asking price is two hundred taels of silver, which is not expensive.
What's more, Yu Wen likes it very much, and Lu Xin looks like he is in trouble at this moment. As a friend of Lu Xin, Yu Wen should buy this painting both emotionally and rationally.
But in these two days, his daughter Yu Tang settled a bill for him.
When I bought the painting, I had no money to treat my wife.
But his hobbies are not the most important, his wife's illness is the most important.
Although Yu Wen has a gentle temperament and acts softly, he can clearly distinguish which is more important.
"Brother Lu," he blushed, "I'm sorry for you. You know, our shop burned down, and I can't come up with so much money now..." As he said, he was about to go to the Show the painting to Lu Xin, "See if anyone else likes it..."
Lu Xin didn't believe it, and said: "Your family is well-off, and you don't have any burdens, how can you not give two hundred taels of silver?"
Yu Wen was even more ashamed, and said: "I still have to leave money for Zhuo Jing to see a doctor."
Lu Xin was not happy.
But Yu Wen didn't let go no matter what, and said straight: "I'm sorry brother!" Chang Yi couldn't afford it.
Lu Xin held on, and said, "Don't you still have a hundred acres of fertile land?"
There are many mountains in Lin'an but few fields. In an ordinary land, one hundred mu of fertile land is worth five to six hundred taels of silver. In Lin'an, it is worth at least one thousand taels of silver.
Yu Wen murmured: "There is not enough money to treat Zhuojing, I'm afraid I will have to sell the land at that time, I can't delay her seeing a doctor because of my business."
Lu Xin wanted to say something else, but Yu Tang, who heard the news, pushed the door open, and said with a smile: "If Uncle Lu is waiting for the money to be used urgently, you might as well pawn the painting temporarily, and redeem it when you have more money. Pei's pawn shop is still very fair."
In her previous life, she pawned things. Although the price was very low, compared to her peers, it was considered good.
Feeling ashamed, Lu Xin changed his face, and said to Yu Wen: "Although Yu's family is just a family in the market, but after all, there have been scholars like you, a girl's family, it's better to learn needlework at home more often!"
Yu Wen was ashamed.
Yu Tang sneered in his heart, opened his big almond eyes, and pretended to be innocent: "Uncle Lu's words are wrong, and I often help my father go to the pawn shop."
Yu Wen hesitated to speak.
He could tell that his daughter was afraid that he would lend money to Lu Xin.
It can be seen how worried his daughter is that he will break his promise to her.
Yu Wen was a little sad, but then he thought it was good, and Lu Xin didn't have to blame him for not helping him when he saw him in trouble.
Lu Xin left angrily.
Yu Tang was very happy, and told this to his mother Chen Shi: "You see, my father offended Uncle Lu for you. When you meet your father, you have to comfort him."
Chen's eyes were wet when she heard this, she went back to her room and thanked Yu Wen for not mentioning it.
In the early morning of the next day, Yu Tang and his mother took the dry rations and side dishes they had prepared with Yu Wen to see Yu Bo and Yu Yuan off.
Yu Bo told Yu Wen: "Don't worry about the things in the shop, wait for me to come back and talk about it."
Yu Wen nodded repeatedly.
But after sending Yu Bo away, he still worriedly visited several merchants in a situation similar to theirs, and when he came back at night, he and his wife and daughter could not help but sigh: "Everyone wait and see what the Pei family has to say! There are two more I want to go back to my hometown to farm and sell the foundation. It’s just that at this time, besides the Pei family, who else is willing to take over. I don’t know when the Pei family’s affairs will be settled.”
Yu Tang was very curious about the Pei family's affairs, and said, "Did the Pei family really quarrel like Uncle Lu said?"
"It should be your Uncle Lu who exaggerated." Yu Wen said, "The Pei family is a scholar, well-educated, how could they quarrel? At most, it was just a few quarrels between brothers. Besides, the old man of the Pei family is still alive, what will happen in the end? It's not a word from the old man of the Pei family."
I'm afraid that the old man of the Pei family will die soon.
As Yu Tang thought in his heart, Na Lu Xin came to visit again.
She was a little annoyed, and followed her father to the study noisily.
Lu Xin came this time not to sell his paintings, but to bring another message to the Yu family: "Wang Bai also came from Mount Putuo!"
Yu Wen was both surprised and delighted.
Not without jealousy, Lu Xin said: "Pei's family is still the best! What's the matter with retiring from an official position, the Pei family has a post, and they all have to rush to Lin'an."
Yu Wendao: "You can't say that. The old man of the Pei family is a good person. If he is sick, whether it is Doctor Yang or Doctor Wang, please help if you can!"
"Hmph!" Lu Xin said disapprovingly, "How can anyone be so kind!"
Yu Wen smiled embarrassingly.
Lu Dao said, "I've already taken care of it for you. Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to see the old man in Pei's mansion. Please ask the old man to come forward and let Yu doctor Yang or Yu doctor Wang come to show your younger siblings."
Let alone Yu Wen, even Yu Tang was overjoyed.
Yu Tang even felt a little guilty.
No matter how bad Lu Xin's character was, he treated his father very well. Based on this, if he comes to the house to eat and drink in the future, she will definitely pretend not to know.
Yu Wen thanked Lu Xin again and again, saying: "Whether Zhuo Jing's illness can be cured or not, you are my great benefactor."
Lu Xin was not polite, and said: "You don't even look at our friendship. I will definitely take your matter to heart. It's just that my ability is limited, and I can't help you much."
"Brother will be offended if you say this!" Yu Wen and Lu Xin said a few words politely, called A Shao to book a table in the restaurant, and told Mrs. Chen to get drinks.
"Good wine!" Yu Tang said with a smile, and gave Mrs. Chen some of his own money, "Uncle Lu has been of great help."
Mrs. Chen went with a smile.
That night Lu Xin got drunk again at Yu's house. Fortunately, he didn't forget to go to Pei's house with Yu Wen, he got up early in the morning, after freshening up, ate a bowl of scallion noodles at Yu's house, drank two bowls of soy milk, and went out with Yu Wen.
Yu Tang waited at home restlessly.
In the afternoon, Lu Xin and Yu Wen carried two medicine boxes on their backs, and accompanied two strange men into the door attentively and modestly. The one walking beside Yu Wen was taller, with white beard and hair, and looked at least sixty years old, energetic and serious. Walking beside Lu Xin, the white-faced beardless, fat, smiling man, with sweat all over his forehead, makes people feel kind when he looks at him.
Yu Wen glared at Yu Tang, motioning her to avoid it.
Yu Tang avoided his own room, and sent Shuang Tao to inquire about it worriedly.
It took almost an hour for Shuang Tao to come back, but when she came back, there were joy in the corners of her eyes and brows, which gave Yu Tang infinite hope.
"Miss." Shuangtao lived up to Yutang's expectations, and she opened her mouth with a string of good news, "The old lady of the Pei family is really a charitable person. My illness is not cured yet, but he asked the doctor to come to our house to see the wife. And a Then came two imperial physicians—Yang imperial physician and Wang imperial physician. Both imperial physicians checked my wife's pulse and said that this is an old disease left by my wife during childbirth. As long as she is less tired and less angry , take good care of it, and take medicine every day, but it’s not good. The doctor Yang also prescribed a prescription for his wife to make into balls, take one pill a day, and it’s not a problem to feed the great-grandson. The master is happy It’s broken, and I’ve been clamoring to set up longevity cards for the two imperial physicians!”
Unexpectedly, the old lady of the Pei family asked the two imperial doctors to come.
"Amitabha!" Yu Tang couldn't help clasping his hands together, and said aloud, feeling infinitely grateful to the Pei family.
No matter what the Pei family did, it was true that the old man of the Pei family saved her mother's life, and it was true that he saved their family.
Yu Tang remembered that the old man of the Pei family died of illness in the past few days, and suddenly felt anxious.
Should she report a letter to the Pei family, or warn the police
Maybe the old man of the Pei family escaped this catastrophe because of this
But how can I report to Pei's family and warn the police without being suspected that she is crazy? Yu Tang's mind is in a mess, he has no idea, but he just follows his heart and involuntarily goes to Yu Wen's study, and happens to see Yu Wen sending Lu Xin and two The imperial doctor went out.
"You still have patients in your family, so don't talk about these empty etiquette." The fat and kind person smiled and squinted, "The old lady of the Pei family is still waiting for our reply!"
Another man with white beard and hair nodded coldly towards Yu Wen, and said, "We came here for the sake of the old man of the Pei family. If you want to thank him, you can thank the old man of the Pei family."
Yu Wen was very humble, and said: "I must kowtow to the old lady of the Pei family, and I also want to thank you two genius doctors."
It's just a few words of entertainment, and the white beard and hair are already showing impatience.
Lu Xin hurriedly said: "Hui Li, you take care of your siblings at home, I will take the two imperial doctors back to Pei's residence on your behalf."
Yu Wen had no choice but to agree, and quietly slipped a few pieces of silver to Lu Xin, and then sent the three of them out.
Yu Tang rushed out immediately, and said to his father, "Mom is saved now. How did you beg the old lady of the Pei family?"
Yu Wen smiled and said: "Thank you, Uncle Lu. He made it clear to the chief manager, and reported it to the old man of the Pei family. The old man of the Pei family was merciful, and immediately sent two imperial doctors to see your mother. I haven't seen the old lady of the Pei family." Having said that, he stroked Yu Tang's black and shiny hair, "You have to remember this kindness!"
Yu Tang repeatedly promised, and asked about the old lady of the Pei family's illness: "Do you know what's wrong?"
Yu Wendao: "It is said that I am depressed. It may be a white-haired person giving a black-haired person, and I can't accept it for a while."
That being the case, why did he die in the previous life
There won't be any other inside information, right
Yu Tang felt very uneasy when she thought of the dispute over the suzerainty of the Pei family that Lu Xin mentioned earlier, but she didn't have any ability to prevent it from happening in her previous life.
What should she do
When Yu Tang was worrying, she suddenly discovered that her father had sold the 20 acres of fertile land inherited from her family, just like in her previous life.
"What did you do with this money?" The old lady of the Pei family hadn't figured out a solution yet, and something happened to her father, so she couldn't help being very angry, and said very bluntly, "Didn't I say He said again, why don’t you just sell the land in your house? Now that my mother’s illness has been relieved, and the family shop has no income, even if the land is to be sold, it should be sold slowly to my mother for medicine!”
There is ginseng in Yang Douxing's prescription, which has been used for many years, and it is not a small expense for a family like Yu's.
