Chapter 96

Gu Yingying and Xu Xinlan quickly left the river, went to an intersection on West Street, stopped a carriage, and rushed to the port.

Arriving at a silk and satin shop near the port, the two walked in one after the other, picked out some fine silks, went to the entrance of Yuelan Inn, and took a bullock cart to go home.

When buying silk, I didn't dare to buy too good ones, lest my mother and second sister-in-law wouldn't accept them after I bought them back.But it's the Chinese New Year, and Gu Yingying doesn't want her loved ones who are good to her to have no new clothes to wear.

Xu Xinlan spun yarn and weaved cloth on weekdays, and sold them to Fan's, and also saved some silver taels.

Furthermore, before going to Mobei, her father also left some silver taels for the mother and daughter, and after entering the silk and satin shop, just choose the silk and satin that he likes.Regardless of the price.

Of course, I also picked some for Gu Yingying and the others, and bought them.He wanted to go to the Gu family and send them there after returning to the village.

The bullock cart that Gu Yingying and the others rode belonged to Zhu Lao.

After walking into the carriage, Gu Yingying took a look and found that the husband and wife of Mrs. Guo from the same village were also sitting on it.Greeting them with joy, she gave the two pastries she brought out from the tea shop to the two old people.

But before closing the door of the carriage, Zhu Laozhu, who was driving, took out a few boiled duck eggs brought to him by his wife when he returned to the entrance of the village, and distributed them to the villagers sitting in the carriage.

I'm afraid that if they come to the car without lunch, they will starve on the way.

Gu Yingying refused with a smile, "Father Zhu, you can eat by yourself. Sister Xinlan and I ate, so we're not hungry."

"Here, take them all. Anyway, after I go back, I will call it a day. At home, there is no shortage of delicious food." After Zhu Lao said, he closed the door of the carriage and walked forward. Drive the ox cart to Gujiazhuang.

Along the way, listening to the sound of wheels rolling over the road, creaking and creaking, Gu Yingying thought about a question in her heart: When I go to see that woman in a carriage tomorrow morning, how can I get some news from that person?

This is a rare opportunity that cannot be missed.

As for the medical treatment, it is not as difficult as the woman imagined.In any case, I treated the villagers in the village before, and sometimes I didn't see the patients, let alone feel the pulse of the patients.I just heard about some cases, prescribed medicine, and healed the person.

Among the patients cured by this method, there are old women over eighty years old and children under ten years old.

But healed the middle-aged man, he was healed in the New World before.

In this time and space, there are too many cumbersome rules, even if she is willing to heal others, she is not afraid of gossip.But the relatives and friends around him, as well as the family members of the patient, would not agree.

Father Guo opened the bag, grabbed a handful of roasted peanuts, handed it to Gu Yingying, grabbed another handful, and handed it to Xu Xinlan to eat.

Gu Yingying was just taking the peanuts, peeling them off and eating them, when she saw Mrs. Guo's wife handing over oranges, so she had to pick them up again.

It was really a blessing to ride in the same bullock cart with the two old people. We just ate, drank and chatted along the way.

Mrs. Guo’s wife said: “Today, when I come out to do New Year’s goods, whether it’s to eat beef noodles in a restaurant, buy cloth in a silk shop, or go to a grocery store to buy things, I haven’t seen many folks. Sigh. , it’s not only difficult for us farmers, but also for businessmen.”

"Who says it's not? If it's hard for us folks in Gujiazhuang, it's because we sold all the rice we harvested this year. The magistrate doesn't allow us to buy it in the grain shop. That's hard. But the people in the nearby town , their rice is still there, but some people tell us that life is hard."

After Xu Xinlan said this, she quickly mentioned it. She met a woman by the river and learned something.

"Early tomorrow morning, she will send someone to pick us up in a car, and ask Sister Yingying to treat her husband."

For Gu Yingying's medical skills, Mr. Guo and his wife are confident.But as soon as I heard that the two of them came out, without any adults in front of them, and without discussing with them, they agreed privately to help him heal.

This is unsatisfactory.

Especially Mrs. Guo's wife, Mrs. Meng, couldn't help complaining to Xu Xinlan:
"You kid, why do you agree to others? Let's not talk about it, Ying'er is a daughter's family, so it's not easy to go to the county to meet her husband. Even if you cover your face, it's very inconvenient. Both of you will be together tomorrow." Don't go out, wait until your Grandpa Guo and I go to the entrance of the village, stop the carriage, and tell them clearly."

Father Guo immediately agreed, "That's right, listen to your Granny Guo, you can't go wrong."

"No." Xu Xinlan groaned in her heart. The reason why she agreed to that woman was because she needed to ask someone about something.If you don't help others, it's not easy to inquire, isn't it?
Furthermore, Sister Yingying herself said that she was willing to help her husband heal her.

Sister Yingying is not worried, so what are these two old people worried about?

Gu Yingying was also anxious, because she was anxious, she almost called "Guo Daddy", and suddenly realized that when she was speaking, she meant "Grandpa Guo".This is what they said:
"Grandpa Guo, didn't we just talk about it? We peasants are sad. The reason why we have a hard time is also related to the cruel heart of the magistrate. If you want to find out these things, don't ask someone who works in the yamen. How do you know?..."

After explaining clearly, I got permission from Father Guo and his wife.Gu Yingying only heard them say that they would not stop the carriage tomorrow morning, but they would go there with her and sister Xinlan.

Otherwise, they don't feel at ease without an adult in front of them.

Gu Yingying really wanted to say that if she brought two old people by her side, she would be worried that they would suffer and suffer.

The next day.

Gu Yingying got up before dawn, carried a cowhide lantern to light the way forward, and walked to the entrance of the village.

I saw Xu Xinlan's mother and daughter, Xu Tai's husband and wife, and Guo Lao's husband and wife, who had been waiting here for a long time.

My heart suddenly warmed up.

Just going out to treat someone, so many folks care about it.It can be seen that in this village, there are still few people who treat her like Feng Shi and Jia Shi, and more people like Xu Xinlan and the others treat her kindly with sincerity.

They waited less than half a cup of tea before a carriage arrived.

The man in black who was driving was wearing a hat and covering his face, and his voice was very cold.

But with Lao Li following them, Gu Yingying was not afraid of anything. After Xu Tai and his wife got into the carriage, they quickly got in too.

The man driving the car asked:
"You are asked to heal people, but you bring so many idlers, what's the reason?"

"If I don't take them with me, I won't go." Gu Yingying looked arrogant, and didn't give the man in black a chance to ask questions.

The man in black stopped talking, slammed his whip, and drove the carriage to Jing'an City.

The carriage stopped before passing the Yanyue Bridge, and it was still not dawn.

Gu Yingying realized that the man in black was going to stop at the county seat instead of going to the prefecture?Immediately opened the car window and said to the man in black:

"That aunt said that she bought something for me and asked me to heal her husband. If you stop halfway, I don't care. Then please Grandpa Guo and Granny Guo stay and accompany me Let's go to treat the patients together. Grandpa Xu, you can take sister Xinlan to Fucheng, to Moxiang, and find that aunt to buy what should be bought..."

There are no pedestrians on the street, but during these days, the word "buy food" is not dared to say it easily.So Gu Yingying didn't mention food.

 Thanks for reading, and happy Monday everyone!
