Tong Jia anecdote

<three five>

When Tong Jiu took a shower and returned to the room, Ji Lan should already be on the bed, but he saw Fuchaqin and Fuchami were there, and there were few high candles in the room, which were brightly lit.

Hearing her come in, Sister Fucha saluted and then backed out.

Tong Jiu vaguely smelled the smell of medicinal powder in the air, so she gently raised the curtain, and Ji Lan sat on the bed and looked down at the bandaged fingers.

"What's the matter?" Tong Jiu first gasped at Ji Lan's rare stunning and exquisite figure before going to sleep.

At this time, Ji Lan Qingsi, who was sitting on the bedside, was casually scattered on her body, the button of the neckline of the white jacket was unbuttoned, and the small water-red dress inside was faintly revealed.

"I scratched my hand when I was cutting the herbs." Ji Lan tucked the long hair in front of her forehead behind her ears, looked at Tong Jiu who was standing by the bed, and said lazily, "It's okay."

After speaking, he tilted his body, unfastened the blue coat draped over his back and handed it to Tong Jiu.

Tong Jiu took Ji Lan's clothes, held them in his hand, turned back and put them on the hanger beside the bed.In front of the clothes hanger, he spread his gown and put it next to Ji Lan's.

"Does the light outside not turn off?" Ji Lan was holding his wrapped fingers, while holding up the heavy quilt with the other hand, crawling under the quilt to remind Tong Jiu who had just returned to the bed.

Seeing the soft candlelight hitting Ji Lan's body and face, Tong Jiu just stood on the bedside.Hearing what she said, she slowly sat down on the bed and said, "Let me see your hand."

Leaning over to look at it cautiously for a while, because she didn't see how the injury was covered, she raised her head and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Coincidentally, Ji Lan was also looking at her, and their eyes met each other. Tong Jiu just held Ji Lan's hand like this, sniffing the fragrance of each other's bodies, and said with straight eyebrows, "I'm afraid I will sleep late at night." Go, so burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup."

"Pa" Ji Lan patted her on the forehead, and said amusedly, "Isn't the alcohol gone yet?"

Seeing that Tong Jiu was shaken by her slap, he held her shoulders, tugged at the jacket she was only wearing, and said in a slow tone, "Isn't it cold?"

"Cold." She didn't say that Tong Jiu didn't feel it yet. Hearing her words, Tong Jiu sniffed, quickly stomped off his shoes, and got on the bed.

"Ji Lan—." Tong Jiu, who had just entered the bed, looked at Ji Lan who was close at hand, probably drunk.Feeling dizzy and dizzy from the surge of energy and blood, breathing feels heavy.

With a flushed face, he exhaled hot breath, his voice trembled a little, and he slapped Ji Lan.

"Don't make trouble, be obedient." Ji Lan put his injured hand in front of him without any trace, separated the two of them, and said carefully, "I haven't thought about our matter yet."

Tong Jiu's back froze and turned around.Suppressing the random thoughts in his head and the pounding of his heart, he crossed his hands under his head and was still panting heavily.

There was nothing to talk about and said, "You, next time you dispense medicine, don't clean up those medicinal materials yourself."

"I grew up in a pile of medicinal herbs since I was a child." Ji Lan closed his eyes, and recalled a rare thing, "What fun can a girl in the house have? Being surrounded by a high wall all day long, looking at her head Go to the square sky. When I was young, my elder sister liked to be a female celebrity, and I took medicinal materials to learn from Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs, dreaming of Hua Tuo's dream."

Tong Jiu turned her head to look at Ji Lan, stretched out her hand to cover the quilt on her shoulders, and said, "Fortunately, you are free now. Looking at the whole world, how many women who can control their own destiny rely on Made out of red women making clothes for men."

"The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead." Ji Lan opened his eyes, and said with a smile, "Maybe at my age, I will try to escape from marriage. But at your age, it is something I have never even dared to think about. "

"I have the blood of the Mongols on my body. The Mongols should gallop between heaven and earth, and if they are locked in a cage, they will die." Tong Jiu said leisurely in Manchu, as if it was only natural for her to escape marriage.

As he spoke, he turned over again, faced Ji Lan, and finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Jilan, tell me, can the price of rice come down?"

Ji Lan shook his head, turned his back to her, and said, "I don't care about the future, just ask your Longevity."

Early the next morning, Tong Jiu held his swollen teeth and throat, waiting for Shen Jianping to come back from the street, but the news he brought back was that the price of rice had not dropped.

On the third day, rice prices did not drop.

Fourth day.

"How much rice have you sold?" Tong Jiu asked Shopkeeper Bai with a hoarse voice that was smoldering when he arrived at Zhengchang after returning from Wuerfang.

"When you went out in the morning, the [-] shi was almost sold out. Master, if the [-] shi are sold out, should we still sell it at such a low price?" Shopkeeper Bai asked in a low voice, frowning.

Tong Jiu frowned and said, "Sell it, just sell it like this, don't let me go short." After speaking, he went to Yangzhengtang listlessly.

Ji Lan has been busy preparing her pills for the past two days, the medical books on the desk are piled high, and she doesn't care much about who comes in and who goes out in the room.

When Tong Jiu came back, she was holding Yangzhengtang's account book, and without saying a word, she buried her head in "crackling" and made calculations on the Eight Immortals desk in the corner of the study.

Ji Lan raised his head from the pile of books and said, "Go to the accountant to settle the accounts."

"Mr. Accountant went to the accountant to settle the accounts." Tong Jiu muttered, but his hands still kept moving.

Hearing her voice, Ji Lan looked up at her, put the books on the case together, and said, "I heard that none of the accountants who are full of accountants can settle accounts better than you. If we really want to sell them someday If the rice is lost, you can still rely on the abacus to support your family, huh?"

"Can't you just hope for me?" With Ji Lan's disturbance, Tong Jiu flicked up the abacus in his hand, pushed the abacus away angrily, and closed the ledger heavily.

Picking up the tea, took a few sips and put it in his mouth, frowning and swallowing little by little.

"Our family can't mention rice now?" Ji Lan knew that she must be upset about the rice, so she nodded her head and said something strangely.Then, as if thinking of something, he waved at her and said, "Don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed, come and help me."

Tong Jiu awkwardly moved over, Ji Lan opened the drawer under the desk, took out a small scale from it, and put it in Tong Jiu's hand, "Weighing medicine, will you?"

Tong Jiu picked up the small scale, and pulled the small weight on it back and forth.Eye to eye, looked at the scale on the scale for a while, raised his head and shook his head, and said, "This--no."

Ji Lan patted her on the forehead and said, "Learn carefully. Let me tell you, these are all human lives. If there is more or less, if something goes wrong, I can't afford to sell you." After speaking, she told She, how to measure it.

Tong Jiu curled his lips, and spread his hands in a lack of interest, "Then I'd better not learn. I didn't pay back the 50 taels I owed you, and I will kill you."

"Yes." Ji Lan laid out sheets of paper on the case, and said casually, "In the future, if you don't pay the money, you can use yourself to pay off the debt. You can be an accountant and go to the cabinet to grab medicine. Don't worry, I will definitely use it again." you."

After finishing speaking, Ji Lan took out many medicinal herbs that had already been sliced, pointed to one of them, and asked Tong Jiu to measure it.

"I still think it's some precious medicinal material that exists in the sky, isn't it Gastrodia elata." Tong Jiu carefully moved the weight according to Ji Lan's order, and weighed it.

Poured it on the paper that Jilan had laid out in advance. "When I was young, I didn't know many Chinese characters. My Ama had a headache. In the prescriptions written by the imperial doctors, the first taste was this gastrodia elata."

"Well, the prescriptions prescribed by the doctors can only be understood by those who are not very literate." Ji Lan put his hands behind Tong Jiu's and supervised the work.

"It's down, it's down!" I heard someone shouting outside, "Boss, the price of rice has dropped."

Tong Jiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked Ji Lan, "What's the shout outside?" As he said that, he dropped the scale and was about to leave.

Before reaching the door, Ji Lan said, "Han Luqi, if you lose your trust in a woman, how can you establish the world with integrity?"

Tong Jiu stopped, looked back at Ji Lan who was sitting there elegantly, questioning her, and didn't move forward.

"Grandpa, Da Zhengchang is running outside to ask for an interview, saying that he has something urgent to report." Fu Chaqin came in with a new bowl of tea for Tong Jiu.

"Let him—" Tong Jiu responded, then turned her head to look at Ji Lan, and saw that she was drinking tea, but she was not looking at herself.

So, he rubbed his throat, and immediately said, "Let him go back first. Tell him, if the price of rice from Jin merchants drops, we will lower it by another [-]%. There is still some work to do. I will go to Dazhengchang later."

After Fu Chaqin went out, Tong Jiu picked up the name on the case again, and asked Ji Lan with a smile, "Which one else should you call?"

Ji Lan waved his hands and said, "Drink up the tea, come and sit down, I have something to ask you."

Tong Jiu took a sip of the new tea, and immediately wrinkled his face bitterly, opened the lid of the tea cup, breathed out and asked, "This, what kind of tea is this?"

"Kuding." Ji Lan raised her chin, signaling her to continue drinking.Tong Jiu paused for a while, and finally, under Ji Lan's gaze, a thousand people reluctantly drank the whole cup of tea.

After showing Ji Lan the teacup, he put the teacup on the coffee table in distaste, and sat on the grand master's chair beside Jilan.Hearing Ji Lan say, "In the past few days, you have been on such a big fire, is it because of this hundred thousand shi of rice?"

The taste of Kudingcha is still lingering in Tong Jiu's mouth, Tong Jiu nodded, pointed to his mouth, and said, "Now I know what 'unbearable suffering' is."

"What's a hundred thousand shi of rice?" Ji Lan chuckled disdainfully, "Why don't you come back for two nights in a row? There will be a lot of business in the future, and you are so impatient with every item, what else? Not to mention, your body won't be able to withstand it first."

"Do you know? When I first arrived in Baotou Mansion, Dazhengchang opened. I sent invitations to every grain store, but no one came. Later, the grain store held a meeting. I went, there was no place for me, they were in Two sacks were laid out for me outside the hall, and I sat on the floor to finish the meeting." Seeing Ji Lan's attitude, Tong Jiu couldn't bear it anymore.

He said solemnly, "The [-] shi of rice is not rice, but dignity."

After a moment of silence, Ji Lan said, "When I was young, I, Ama, was very busy, but I would go home every night. Han Luqi, since we are husband and wife, you should act like a husband and take on the responsibilities of a husband."

"Then what about you, what kind of responsibility have you fulfilled as a single wife?" Tong Jiu asked.

"I'm fulfilling my responsibilities as a wife right now." Ji Lan raised her voice a few ounces, looked at Tong Jiu and said, "After all, I know better than you what kind of husband I need."

"Do you think I don't want to come back?" Tong Jiu stood up and said, "When I come back every night and see you on the bed, I feel close to you and lustful, do you know? In your eyes, I am already a Debtor, do you still want me to be a despicable person?"
