Qiao Chu waved his hand impatiently: "I've already said that if you want to buy a horse, you just need to give money. If you give money, you want a dead horse or a live horse. I can do it."
"How can you say that to Ta Xue? It's a waste of its trust in you!" The young man Xu Jiye was so angry that he pointed at Qiao Chu with an accusing and angry look on his face.
Qiao Chu glanced at him coldly: "If you point your finger at me again, I will kill Liuliang and sell him as meat tomorrow!"
Xu Jiye: "You..." He clenched his hands into fists, not daring to point at Qiao Chu anymore.
"My brother has a young mind and a reckless temper. Please don't blame Miss Chuchu." The eldest brother Xu Jingye apologized with full courtesy.
"What exactly are you going to say? I don't like to beat around the bush. Just say it straight away. If it works, it will work. If it doesn't, it won't work. There's not that much nonsense." Qiao Chu looked at Xu Jingye with a calm expression, with a hint of impatience.
"..." The humble and courteous Xu Jingye couldn't handle it either.
After adjusting his condition, Xu Jingye finally found his tongue and explained what he meant: "My brother-in-law is injured. Someone suggested that if the girl really has magical hands, can she help treat my brother-in-law? As long as
If she can be cured, our Xu family will certainly give us a large sum of money. If the girl has any other requests, just ask, as long as our Xu family can do it, we will do our best."
Qiao Chu frowned: "I'm not short of money. So I won't go to the capital." The main reason is that it is too far and it is inconvenient to take care of three children.
"If the girl can be cured, we can also send my uncle here." Xu Jingye explained again.
Qiao Chu frowned even more tightly, and reached out to scratch the bun on her head with some irritability: "When you go to the doctor to see a doctor, you all say this? Can you cure it? If you can cure it, I will bring him here, you
If it can’t be cured, I won’t bring the person here?”
Xu Jingye: "..."
"Which doctor dares to say whether it can be cured or not without even meeting the person?"
Xu Jingye: "..."
"Which doctor dares to say that I guarantee that you will be able to cure this disease? I guarantee that you will wake up from this person?"
Xu Jingye: "..."
Xu Jiye, who was watching on the sidelines, was so angry that he couldn't help but jump up and shout: "You woman, don't bully others too much! My eldest brother has a good temper. If it were me..."
"What happened to you?" Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man.
Xu Jiye was instantly stunned by the intimidating eyes and muttered: "I don't have that much patience..."
"Jiye!" Xu Jingye glared at his younger brother warningly, and then the young man squatted down under the eaves again aggrievedly.
"Okay, there's nothing else to do, just go out first!" Qiao Chu waved his hand impatiently and asked the two people to leave.
After letting the Xu brothers go out through the back door, Qiao Chu was about to close the door when she saw the door next door opened. Mr. Dongfang came out and met the Xu brothers who were leaving. Mr. Dongfang was stunned for a moment, and the Xu brothers were also stunned for a moment.
Xu Jingye bowed his hands to Mr. Dongfang as a junior, said nothing, and led his younger brother away.
After walking more than ten meters, I heard young man Xu Jiye ask his elder brother: "Brother, why does this old man look familiar to me? Have I seen him somewhere?"
Xu Jingye kicked his younger brother on the butt: "Pay attention to what you say! Are you polite? This is how your parents taught you?!"
Xu Jiye covered his butt and took a few steps forward: "Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong, did you hear what I said..."
Seeing the two brothers walking further and further away and disappearing around the corner, Mr. Dongfang pointed to the direction in which the two disappeared and asked, seemingly unintentionally: "Are they here because of his brother-in-law's business?"
"Well." Qiao Chu looked behind Mr. Dongfang and said, "Madam, are you awake? Are you feeling better?"
Mr. Dongfang nodded and raised his hand to signal Qiao Chu to go to Qiao Chu's house, and the two of them entered Qiao Chu's yard.
When Qiao Xiaofu saw Mr. Dongfang coming, he enthusiastically set up stools in the yard and served tea and snacks. The look of his puppy legs made people laugh.
Mr. Dongfang smiled and nodded at her: "Where are the two younger ones? Call them over and let me take a look."
Qiao Erlu and Qiao Sanshou, who had been hiding in the room shyly and expectantly, ran out when they heard the sound. The three children stood in a row in front of Mr. Dongfang, looking at Mr. Dongfang with some anxiety and some expectancy.
"Why don't you call me sir?" Qiao Chu reminded with a smile.
"Hello, sir!" the three children shouted in unison.
"Well! Kneel down and kowtow to me!" Mr. Dongfang reminded him with a smile while stroking his beard.
The three children looked at Qiao Chu in surprise. Qiao Chu nodded, and the children knelt down to serve tea to their husband.
The three children took a bowl of tea, kowtowed respectfully, and then served the tea: "Sir, please have tea."
"My surname is Dongfang, and my single name is "Pu". I will be your husband from now on..." Mr. Dongfang began to lecture, and the three children listened honestly and responded from time to time.
In fact, Qiao Chu was shocked in her heart: although she didn't know exactly who this old gentleman was, a master who held the title of Juren was willing to enlighten the children of three farmers, and even solemnly asked the children to kneel down, offer tea and kowtow...
…
Only students who truly belong to the school are qualified to kneel down, offer tea, and kowtow.
This Mr. Dongfang actually decided to accept his three nieces and nephews as his true disciples?
After the three children finished kowtowing, Mr. Dongfang asked Qiao Chu, "Where is your husband-in-law?"
"He? He went up the mountain to chop wood and hunt." Qiao Chu replied.
Mr. Dongfang: "...but he is diligent."
The three children went back to their room, and Mr. Dongfang talked about the purpose of his coming: the first was to tell Qiao Chu that he wanted to officially accept the three children as disciples, and the second was to tell Qiao Chu that his wife had woken up and could walk.
Although my legs and feet are not that agile because I haven’t walked for a long time, I can finally walk without any pain or soreness!
Therefore, Mr. Dongfang came to thank Qiao Chu, and by the way, he also held the apprenticeship ceremony.
After saying a few words to go home, Mr. Dongfang seemed to have said unintentionally: "That uncle from the Xu family is a hero. He is a general on the battlefield and protects the barrier of southern Xinjiang. If you can help him, please do so."
Give me a handful! The imperial court needs people like this, and the people also need people like him to protect them."
Qiao Chu glanced at Mr. Dongfang in astonishment and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Not long after Mr. Dongfang left, the back door was knocked again. When Qiao Chu opened the door, she saw two young men, a man and a woman. When she asked, they actually wanted to rent the shop in front of her.
The other party wants to rent and open a powder shop, which is connected to the front shop and the first courtyard. The price is not low. They give five taels of silver every month, which is sixty taels a year. This can already feed a family in the county.
Full and warm!
If I go to another place to cultivate immortality in the future, I can only rely on this property to ensure that the three little ones will not go hungry.
