Tong Jia anecdote

<eight eight>

After all, Tong Jiu suffered from the wind and cold, and it can be said that he fell ill like a mountain. Although he sweated and the fever subsided, he had a cough again.In addition, it happened to be the day of the monthly letter, and because of the cold syndrome that fell on the ice before, the pain was full of cold sweat on the forehead, and the face was pale.

Ji Lan touched her sweat-soaked back skirt, and covered her with the quilt again.While asking Fuchaqin to call Hongxiao over, she rubbed the acupuncture points on Tong Jiu's calf.

Hong Xiao came in to see how painful Tong Jiu was, and complained distressedly, "I told you a long time ago, don't touch those cold things when the days are approaching, but you just ignore the wind." She wiped the cold sweat on Tong Jiu's forehead and said "Not only does it seem that no one will accept your love, look at it now, who is suffering?"

"You just say I am." Tong Jiu panted weakly, gritted his teeth and said, "I still don't forget to bring someone else."

It's strange to say that Ji Lan is usually strict with the maids and women of Fucha's family, even if they are as kind as the Fucha sisters, they dare not speak out against her.However, Hongxiao dared to talk to Ji Lan without thinking like this, but Ji Lan never annoyed her, and he thought it was love for her.

Ji Lan wrote Fang Zi casually and said to Hong Xiao, "Go to the front and grab it and fry it. Fang Zi doesn't want to use Qin Qin's sister's hands."

Thinking about it, Fu Chaqin and the others couldn't let Tong Jiu drink this recipe for abdominal pain during menstruation. What's the difference between that and telling the maids that Tong Jiu is a woman?

Hong Xiao patted Tong Jiu's forehead that was resting on Bu Huhu, and said in a puzzled way, "It hurts so much and still protects her stubbornly, I really don't care about you. God has the eyes to let you repay the world, and see if you will grow up in the future." memory?"

"If it wasn't for your birthday—" Tong Jiu stretched out her hand and pulled Hong Xiao's hand from her forehead, and coughed again. At this moment, her lower abdomen was in pain from the bottom to her waist, and she coughed a few more times, letting her lie there , I was half dead and didn't want to talk.

"Hey, that's enough, that's enough." Hong Xiao shook her sweaty hand, put it back under the blanket to wrap it up, and said, "I'm going to decoct the medicine for you right now, bear with it for a while." She said went out.

Ji Lan put down Tong Jiu's left leg, moved to press her right leg, and said with some annoyance, "Girl Hongxiao is right, I didn't take good care of you. During these days, you just rest at home Drink medicine to recuperate, there is me outside."

Ji Lan's body is inherently cold, so how could she not know about this kind of pain every month.Just as Hongxiao said, Tong Jiu caught a cold a few days ago, and got angry about the Baoding matter, and was pestered by herself for a whole night, losing his blood.

Seeing Tong Jiu drink the medicine and fall asleep, Ji Lan guarded her for a while before coming out to the main hall.

The shopkeeper of Huizhengsheng has been waiting for her for a long time, and when he saw her come out, he cupped his hands and said politely, "Second aunt, I have some business matters that I need to discuss with my uncle."

"Lu Qi, she drank the medicine before she fell asleep." Ji Lan stretched out his hand, asked him to sit down, and sat down himself, "This trip to Baoding, she caught the cold, and I'm afraid she will have to close the door to recuperate for a while. The shopkeeper It's the same if you tell me anything."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, Ji Lan asked jokingly, "What's the matter? This exchange is rising, is there anything I can't do?"

"Of course not." The big shopkeeper used to be an old man in Yangzhengtang. Later, Ji Lan opened Huizhengsheng in the capital, and needed a prudent shopkeeper, so he was transferred to Huizhengsheng to take charge.

"It's such a thing. A few days ago, Shibiju Restaurant borrowed 10 taels of silver from us with the house behind their shop as collateral." The big shopkeeper said, "This morning, the second shopkeeper in their shop said Well, they haven't paid the money, and they don't even think about opening the restaurant in front of them, and they want to sell the restaurant to us for a price. Naturally, I have to ask the owners what they think about such a big matter."

"There are difficulties in doing business, and our money can help them for a while." Ji Lan asked puzzled, "Why don't good restaurants open?"

"Hey, this matter is supposed to be my fault." The big shopkeeper said to Ji Lanxi, "In the early years, Zhou Dong's family, who had to eat and live, started their family by killing pigs and delivering pork to various restaurants. I'm here Before we raised Zhengtang apprentices, we worked as his buddies and delivered pork."

"I haven't heard that the shopkeeper has this skill?" Ji Lan talked and laughed to the old people in Yangzhengtang, just like his elders.

"Hey, this is all from the early years, so I won't mention it. Anyway, our brother and I have always had a good relationship." The shopkeeper said, "He has done some business and saved some money, so he wants to give his son Donate to be an official, but there is no way out. Relying on our aunt's relationship, I helped him entrust Lord Yongxi Belle of Yiwang Mansion."

After hearing this, Ji Lan raised her brows lightly, she knew everything about it later.Yongxi, who has no eyes, stepped on the tail of his own donkey, but both were tricked, and they were sent to prison together.

"A few days ago, the boss was released this week, but the 10 taels were confiscated by the government. First, he had no money to return to us, and second, he was frightened and didn't want to stay in the capital anymore. He wanted to Pay the restaurant for some money, and go back to my hometown in Baoding to resume my old business of raising pigs." The shopkeeper said, and asked what Ji Lan meant, "You see...?"

"How much does he want to pay?" Ji Lan was thinking.

"In normal times, it would cost 12 yuan to others. Now he is in a hurry to leave and give us [-] yuan." The big shopkeeper replied, "I thought I didn't help him much before, let's see what can happen in the end." Can't help him."

"Before, the back house was worth 20 taels, that is to say, his front and back are [-] taels?" Ji Lan nodded, and said, "Well, go and tell him that this house is [-], and I can buy it for you." Didn’t he want to raise pigs when he returned to Baoding? We happened to have some old grain in Dazhengchang, Baoding. You asked him if he wanted it cheaply? If he bought those grains, we could collect pork from all over the house in the future. of."

"Hey, yes, then I'll talk to him when I turn around." The shopkeeper happily replied, and asked, "But we bought this restaurant, what are you planning to do?"

"It was resold." Ji Lan said decisively, "Also, sell it privately, so no one needs to know that it was from us."

"Second aunt, grandma, I heard my uncle said that he wants to open Zhengchang in the capital. You have never been to that restaurant. It is a very bright place outside the front door. You have to pass through that door when you enter the inner city. Why don't you discuss it with my uncle? Discussion?" The shopkeeper asked.

"I've never been there, but I've heard about it. Lord Long Live banned prostitution in the inner city, and all the brothels have moved there." Ji Lan got up and said, "Don't discuss it with her, listen to me, sell it."

"Hey, good." The big shopkeeper stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it right away." He said and backed out.

The news of Tong Jiu's illness and thanking guests spread like wildfire. After all, she is the most popular staff member of Prince Shen. After Prince Shen's mansion sent the housekeeper and Lord Belle to visit the sick, all kinds of celebrities from Beijing and China came every day. The government came to visit the sick.

Among them, there is no shortage of high-ranking and powerful people, and there is also no lack of business acquaintances under the acquaintance of Tong Jiu.

After the monthly letter was over, Tong Jiu was confined by Ji Lan in the house these days, and she was finally able to take a walk in the yard while she was not at home.

I heard that recently Ji Lan bought a shop across from Yangzheng Hall, and she is looking for a craftsman to tidy it up, planning to open Zhengchang for her.She didn't mention Tong Jiu, but she also knew that every inch of land in Yangzhengtang was expensive, and it must have cost a lot of money.

Ke Jilan said that she was still a little hesitant before, but after going through the matter of eating and living, she made up her mind.She can't control her when she goes out of the customs, but in the capital, Tong Jiu has to stay under her nose in order to behave.

On this day, Yongxi Belle came to visit Han's mansion on behalf of Yi Wang's mansion.

Ji Lan went out to work at Zhengchang's shop and was not at the house, Tong Jiu just fell asleep again, and was too lazy to go out to entertain him, so he ordered someone to invite Ji Lan back, and at the same time sent some good tea for him to wait in the main hall .

"Sister Hong, I don't know how Su Le and his horses are doing, why don't you accompany me to the racetrack?" Tong Jiu discussed with Hong Xiao after waking up.

"You, weigh yourself." Hong Xiao helped her put on her clothes, and said, "I just asked someone to call Madam, and she came back in a short time."

"The racetrack is indoors, so there's no wind." Tong Jiu stretched her waist, and said, "Besides, I'm all well, so how can I be so expensive?" He said bravely, but he coughed again in disbelief. array.

Hong Xiaobian patted her on the back, straightened her braids, and said, "Look, it hasn't gone out yet. You keep it safe, so you can get rid of this problem earlier and drink less bitterness." Medicine soup."

"They said they wanted me to recuperate, and kept me copying these Buddhist scriptures in the Nuan Pavilion all day long, and there was no trace of meat in the food." Tong Jiu pouted, and said, "Tomorrow, you can directly hang a string of Buddhist beads on me, and I will become a monk."

"Okay, okay, can't I go with you?" Hong Xiao took a cloak and put it on for her, saying, "Fortunately, the sun is out today, so it won't be cold. But it must be agreed in advance , let’s go back after we’re done, but we can’t ride horses.”

"Okay." After hearing this, Tong Jiu put on the warm hat with a smile, and agreed quickly.

While the two of them were walking towards the racecourse in the back yard, Tong Jiu smiled and said to Hong Xiao, "A few days ago, Dagula said that Jin Ming's riding and archery skills have been learned well. At that time, I thought I just thought, there is no way, this is what my ancestors gave me.”

"Well, I think back then when Ama was in Zongxue, he was also the best in riding and archery." Hongxiao recalled, "The young masters in every house in our house are always good at horseback."

"I also said to take them to hunt, but my cough didn't get better." A gust of cold wind blew by, causing Tong Jiu to cough again.

"You bastard, let go of me, come here!" "Let go of my mother!" The two turned into the yard of the racetrack, and they heard shouting and crying in the racecourse.

"Come on, let's see who dares to stop me." Then a man laughed wildly.

"Come on, help!" Tong Jiu walked in quickly, it should be the cry of her sister-in-law Yun Man.Pushing open the door and entering the racetrack, I saw that the boy and the woman who were in charge of the racecourse were kneeling beside the stable at the door, not daring to lift their heads.

Seeing Tong Jiu come in, the mother-in-law scrupulously said, "Master Jiu, the one inside is Master Yongxi Baylor—"

"Go to the front and call Hua Jingfu." Hong Xiao saw that Tong Jiu picked up the fork on the hay pile in the stable at this time, lifted the door curtain and went in, and quickly ordered a servant, and led the other two servants followed in.
