"Amethyst, what are you talking about? Are there any rules?"

Seeing the girl talking nonsense, Nanny Wu burst into laughter and shouted. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

Grandma Sun, who was not far away, heard the commotion and hurried over.

Amethyst was so anxious that she almost cried. She stamped her foot and said: "Mommy, something really happened. Brother Chu, he, Brother Chu, he..."

Hearing what she said, not to mention Nanny Wu, Nanny Sun, even Daiyu and Jia Qiang were startled, thinking that something had happened to the child earlier.

Aunt Wu asked anxiously: "What's wrong with Brother Chu? Wasn't he still fine just now?"

Amethyst shook her head repeatedly and said: "People...people are good, that is, that is..."

Mother Wu was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, and spat: "You are going to die with your little hooves! You are a good person, what kind of trouble can happen? Do you think that since the girl is back, she will indulge you?"

Amethyst said with a mournful face: "It's strange that those two people refused to let us bathe Brother Chu or help him change clothes. It turns out... it turns out that Brother Chu is actually a girl!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.

Mother Wu almost had her eyes popping out, and then her whole body started to tremble with anger. Her face was so excited that she was deformed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Girl? How is that possible?! Brother Chu was the person of myself and Butler Wang from the front yard."

I went to Suzhou to pick him up. The Lin family in Suzhou is not prosperous. There are only five or six families with only one male to inherit the family. Only Brother Chu has two sons in his family. The older one is studying in school, and the younger one is

Stay at home to cook and work. I'm still wondering, they say the emperor loves the eldest son and the people love the youngest son, but how come his family is..."

Before she finished speaking, Grandma Wu reacted.

If she hadn't been worried about disturbing Lin Ruhai inside, she would have sat on the ground and cried loudly.

We're in big trouble!

Grandma Sun also said with fear on her face: "It's a blessing that the girl invited a miracle doctor to come and save the master. Otherwise, we will not be able to atone for our sin even if we die head-on!"

Daiyu's eyes were red, and she felt extremely uncomfortable. She felt that her sick father and orphaned daughter had been bullied to this extent.

Grandma Wu said anxiously: "Why don't you hurry up and catch those bastards, beat them half to death with a stick, get back the money they defrauded, and rush them back to your hometown in Suzhou?"

Others were at a loss when they heard this and wanted to do it this way.

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "That's all, if that's the case, others won't say that they deliberately deceived my aunt-in-law. They will only spread the news that the Lin family has turned their backs and refused to recognize anyone. They brought joy to help celebrate the occasion, but after my aunt-in-law healed, they instead

Treat them harshly. It’s strange that he dismissed the two of them so easily before. It turns out that he was a thief with a guilty conscience..."

Aunt Wu was dissatisfied: "Could it be that if we just let it go, they can say a good word?"

Jia Qiang said lightly: "They are guilty of being thieves. With the adopted money, they will only worry about their aunt and father-in-law sending people to hold them accountable, so after returning to their hometown, they will definitely run away overnight. And they know in their hearts that Lin Chu is a girl and cannot inherit the Lin family's business.

It's a good thing that I won't be looking for a bride again in the future. Mom, the world is sympathetic to the weak, even if the weak are guilty."

Grandma Sun almost fainted and said anxiously: "What should we do? Really raise a daughter for them? Young Master, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world? This is not a matter of adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Wait for it later.

When I grow up, I have to prepare a dowry. If I really have evil intentions, it is not impossible to fight for a share of the family business. There is only one girl in our family..."

Jia Qiang looked at Daiyu and said warmly: "It's not that I'm out of compassion, it's just that I really care about my aunt's father-in-law's reputation. After all, her surname is Lin. Aunt Lin has always been lonely. It's better to have a relative named Lin by her side. As long as she doesn't recognize her

In the name of my great-aunt and father-in-law, there will naturally be no trouble in the future."

The two nuns' faces twitched when they heard this, while Daiyu smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not worried about this, but I've always been weak and sick. I can't even take care of myself. How can I take care of her?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "After all, I still have to ask my great-uncle for instructions, and we will mention it later. But don't treat her harshly. It is also her mother's fault if she is wrong. She is just a poor child."

As soon as these words came out, not only Daiyu looked sideways, but also Nanny Wu smiled a little weirdly and said: "I didn't expect that Second Master Qiang is still a pity for the poor and weak."

You rake up an egg!

Jia Qiang glanced at the old man indifferently, not understanding why she was smiling so strangely. She shook her head and said to Daiyu: "For no other reason, even if it is for the sake of the reputation of my uncle and Aunt Lin, I must do it."

I need to take good care of her for the time being. Aunt Lin, you and my great-uncle are different from me. I have long since disappeared from the world of scholars in order to protect myself. But my great-uncle was born as a handsome man, and he was among the fattest officials in the world.

Staying alive means that you have outstanding virtues and a bright future. You must not allow your great-uncle to be attacked and slandered by villains in the future because of such trivial matters.

If the trouble really got big, Brother Chu... Lin Chu would be sent back to Suzhou. If this matter spreads out, the world will only sympathize with the lonely and weak. Not only will my great-uncle and father-in-law become the butt of laughter, even Aunt Lin will have to talk about it.

What’s more, those two people are the Lin family after all, so what will happen if they are captured? If they kowtow shamelessly and admit their mistakes, they might still be in the family, and what will happen in the future will only make them more annoying."

Daiyu was instantly moved when she heard this. She was a girl from a boudoir. Even though she was talented and smart, how could she think of this?

After staring at Jia Qiang for a while, she nodded and sent Nanny Wu to settle Lin Chu herself.

Jia Qiang did not stay any longer and said goodbye to Daiyu.

After he left, Grandma Sun whispered: "This guy looks young, and he was born so well. I didn't expect that he has a mature temperament..."

…

"uncle!!"

In the front yard of Yanyuan East Road, Tietou knelt down with some excitement to greet Jia Qiang.

After Jia Qiang personally helped him up, she saw that there was a new injury on his forehead, a large piece of it was rotten. She frowned and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter with the injury?"

Tietou said with a smile: "Don't worry, uncle, I am the master who can suffer a loss. It was just a few days ago that when I first came here, I had some trouble with the salt men under my great aunt. But the foreign Taoist priests who came back later saved my aunt.

After my grandfather died, they kowtowed to me in unison! I know that my grandfather never likes to be kowtowed to by others, and I don’t like it either, so I gave it back one by one!"

"I'm really..."

Jia Qiang was convinced by this Tiehanhan and said speechlessly: "Then you don't have to pay them back one by one, right?"

Tietou chuckled, his smile full of cunning, and lowered his voice: "Uncle, these are all wild tricks in the world. Sure enough, when I do this, those people who don't think highly of me in the first place will not take me seriously.

You are an outsider. It will be much cheaper to do business in Yangzhou from now on."

Jia Qiang smiled when he heard this and said: "Well, the wild people in the world can sometimes accomplish great things. By the way, where are the Westerners?"

On the side, Butler Wang said hurriedly: "Together with the monks from Tianning Temple and the imperial doctors from Beijing, we are studying medical science."

Jia Qiang asked curiously: "Then the foreign Taoist priests also understand our medical principles?"

Butler Wang smiled and said: "That Western monk named George speaks Mandarin very fluently. I heard people say that although this monk doesn't understand the meaning of our saints' scriptures, he is extremely knowledgeable about medical science. He even comes from Beijing.

The two imperial doctors were both surprised and admired. Together with the great monk from Tianning Temple, they had been arguing in the front yard all day long, and it became a scene... However, everyone in the Yanyuan said that as long as they could

If you take good care of your body and bones, it will be worth it to turn the front yard upside down."

Jia Qiang was overjoyed when she heard this and said with a smile: "Since it is a gathering of famous doctors, it will be easier to handle!"

After that, he hurriedly went to personally invite someone to see Li Jing's father who was placed in the front yard of Xiluyuan.

…

Shenjing City, Rongguo Mansion.

The back house of Lixiangyuan.

Xue Pan was eloquent and spitting, bragging that after he went south, he could earn hundreds of taels of silver by running a business, or 70,000 taels of silver, and he would be able to come back in a year or two at most.

Aunt Xue was still worried about Xue Pan going south, but she said: "At any rate, if you guard me, I can feel more at ease. Besides, you don't need to do business. Although I lost 70,000 taels of silver, your uncle and aunt also said

Now, when Brother Qiang comes back, Hua Jieyu will give it to him. The seventy thousand taels of silver will be returned to him... If you are short of money, your sister and I still have some. It's better for you to stay at home and stay safe than to go south.

I made hundreds of dollars in one round."

However, Xue Pan had already made up his mind and was willing to comply. He only said: "Mom says every day that I don't know anything about the world. I don't know this and I don't learn that. Now I'm so fierce that I cut off all the unimportant things and want to be an adult.

I'm learning to do business, but you don't allow me to do it again. What should I do? I'm not a girl. If you keep me at home, when will it be the end?

Besides, I wasn’t going alone. Zhang Dehui, the general manager of the pawnshop, was a young and virtuous man. How could I be wrong if I went with him? I was in a bad place for a while, so he naturally said that I was trying to persuade me.

, I knew he was a mature and reliable person, so naturally I asked him how it went smoothly, but he didn’t ask me to go. After two days, I didn’t tell my family and went away privately. I will make a fortune and go home next year. Only then will I know that I

Here." After saying that, he went out with a depressed look on his face.

Aunt Xue was so troubled by him that she felt really unreasonable, so she looked for Baochai to discuss it. Baochai smiled and said: "Brother really wants to go through serious things, so that's good. It's just that he talks nice when he's at home, but when he's outside, he gets sick again.

It’s getting harder and harder to restrain him. But I don’t have to worry too much. If he really changes, it will be a blessing in his life. If he doesn’t change, mom can’t find another way. Half of it is to do my best, and half of it is to obey fate. Such a grown-up,

If we were just afraid that he would not know the way of the world, could not go out, could not do anything, and stayed at home this year, he would still be like this next year? Since what he said was just and true, my mother was worried that she would lose 8,000 pieces of silver and give it to him.

Give it a try. Anyway, his original intention was just to find Brother Qiang. With Brother Qiang here, he will never suffer a big loss. Now, it is more effective for him to listen to Brother Qiang than to listen to mother and me."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue thought for a while and said: "What you are saying is that under the guise of doing business, he didn't dare to show up in Beijing, for fear of being beaten by that lawless bastard again, and he wanted to find Qiang.

Brother is back to take revenge... However, Brother Qiang, you should write another letter, just say what I said, and beg him to take good care of your brother. But don't mention that yet.

Regarding the seventy thousand silver, let your aunt talk about this when he comes back..."

Baochai smiled bitterly when she heard this, but she also knew that if she didn't agree, her mother would be uneasy, so she nodded slowly and agreed:

"That's good."
