The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 20 "Charlatans"

"Master, master! You must save my concubine!" Li Jincai didn't feel sorry for Li Ersao so much, but for the white money.This time buying a concubine cost him a full 50 taels of silver, and he was absolutely unwilling to let this money go to waste.

"Little concubine, concubine, one concubine at a time! You have to see if you can accept her first!" Meng Xiaosu said sternly.

"How do you say that?" Li Jincai was stunned.

Meng Xiaoshu said solemnly: "This woman has a special constitution, and ordinary people cannot marry her, let alone you, a businessman with a fat brain."

Li Jincai hadn't read any books, so he didn't know that "full of fat" was scolding him, so he was stunned for a while, waiting for the next sentence.His regular wife is a poet who understands poetry, but after hearing what Meng Xiaosuo said, she understood that Meng Xiaosuo, like her, did not want Li Jincai to accept this concubine, so she stood aside and did not make a sound.

"If you stay in a damp and cold place for a long time, you will suffer from rheumatic bone pain. In the same way, this woman is a wine brewer. She has been in contact with wine all day long, and the smell of wine has already penetrated into her heart and lungs, so these two women came into contact with her. , will be unconscious." Meng Xiaosuo insisted on his words, trying to appear knowledgeable, so that Li Jincai could be convinced.

Li Jincai asked dubiously: "Then how to get rid of the alcohol smell on her body?"

"Have you seen anyone whose rheumatism can be cured?" Meng Xiaocom asked.

Li Jincai shook his head, he didn't know medical skills, so naturally he didn't know the answer to this question.The wife gently pinched his arm and reminded him in a low voice: "Rheumatoid bone pain cannot be cured."

Upon hearing this, Li Jincai quickly waved his hands and said, "It can't be cured, it can't be cured."

"That's it, so the smell of alcohol on this woman's body can't be cured." Meng Xiaoshu said.

Li Jincai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled coldly, turned around, and said angrily to his wife, "You bitch, how dare you lie to me with outsiders! Tell me, are those two wives yours?"

Meng Xiaocom didn't expect that he could think of this level with such a bright mind, and suddenly he didn't know what to do.

The servants who were watching began to discuss after hearing the words.

"So it's the old lady playing tricks again?" said a woman.

"No! Those two women are under the eldest wife's hands, so they are naturally helping the eldest wife." The maid beside her answered.

"Where's the girl who knows medicine?" the woman asked.

"Nine times out of ten, it's also the eldest wife who hired me to act." The servant girl said contemptuously.

Li Jincai was furious: "Come on, hurry up and report to the officials, I will put this poisonous woman in prison!"

"I'm wronged, master..." The wife hugged his leg and cried loudly, and was immediately pulled away by the two servants.

Meng Xiaosu didn't know whether to despise the eldest wife who did many evils and her retribution was imminent, or to feel sorry for Li Jincai, who was as hard as a stone and disregarded the relationship between husband and wife.Perhaps it was because of such a husband that the eldest wife was so vicious.In short, neither of these two people is a good thing. If Second Aunt Li gets married, she will definitely suffer a lot of grievances.

Seeing that Meng Xiaoshu didn't say a word, Li Jincai thought she had acquiesced in the crime, and said to his servant: "Arrest this charlatan and send him to the government together!"

"Wait a minute, you say I'm a charlatan, but do you have evidence?" Meng Xiaosu said coldly.

"Hmph, to tell you the truth, Prefect Duan is my distant relative. Even if I have no evidence, I can still let you, a thin-skinned and tender girl, suffer in prison! If you really recruited me, I might On the one hand, I will accept you as a concubine, and let you follow me to eat hot food and drink spicy food." Li Jincai looked her up and down playfully, thinking, this woman has such beautiful eyes, and her face should not be ugly.

Meng Xiaocom didn't answer his question, but asked instead: "Li Jincai, have you been having trouble falling asleep recently, and eating tasteless?"

"Yes." Li Jincai didn't expect her to ask such a question suddenly, and nodded in doubt, "How do you know?"

"I'm a medical girl, so I naturally know." Meng Xiaocomo pretended to be arrogant.In front of this kind of person, if you look modest and prudent, he will only think that you are not capable and will not take you seriously.

Difficulty falling asleep was inferred from the two deep blue shadows in Li Jincai's eyes.As for food without taste, if the rich and powerful eat chicken, duck, and fish every day, over time, their taste buds will become numb, their tongue will get greasy, and they will become more and more picky about food. This point, Meng Xiaoshu can guess it without guessing.

"Are you really a doctor girl?" Li Jincai showed suspicion. The two points Meng Xiaosuo just said touched his heart. Over the years, he has seen many doctors for this matter and spent a lot of money. But it is very small.

If a person does not eat well and sleep well, what is the use of having more money?If this woman has a way to heal herself, I don't want to send her to the government.he thought so.

"Of course," Meng Xiaosuo nodded confidently, "and I can also cure you, an untrained concubine, but..."

"Just what?" Li Jincai asked hurriedly.

"It's just that I advise you not to accept this person as a concubine. This woman has been brewing wine all year round, and she is contaminated with the yang energy in the wine. Once stimulated, she will be unconscious like she is now. And as long as she is not the most masculine and the most masculine Men, if they have been in contact with her for a long time, they will be restrained by her, ranging from weak and sick, to death in a short time, there is no way to break it." Meng Xiaosuo threatened slowly.

"This..." Li Jincai still didn't want to believe it. After all, he bought this concubine for 50 taels of silver.

Meng Xiaosuo quickly saw through his intentions and said, "I heard that a distinguished guest from Prefect Duan's mansion took a fancy to this woman's wine making skills and wanted to help her reopen the restaurant. With prefect Duan's support, I want to come there The business of the wine shop will never be bad. When this woman wakes up, you can call a few folks and ask her to write the IOU in front of everyone. In this way, the money you spent on her will be just around the corner can take it back."

"Really?" Li Jincai hesitated.Firstly, he hadn't heard of any distinguished guests in Duan Zhifu's mansion, and secondly, he was still not sure whether Meng Xiaosu was a charlatan or not.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside, someone shouted loudly: "Master Duan is here!"

Everyone immediately gave way to a path, and a person walked through it, with a big fat head and big ears, who was not Duan Tai?
"Your Majesty!" Li Jincai hurriedly cupped his hands, coquettishly.

"Miss Meng." Duan Tai nodded and smiled at Meng Xiaoshu first, then turned to look at Li Jincai, and snorted angrily from his nostrils, "Li Jincai, come with me!"

The two entered the backyard one after the other, and came out again after a short while. Li Jincai sent Duan Tai away with a smile on his face, ran up to Meng Xiaoshu, and slapped himself one after another: "Miss Meng, I I have eyes but no pearls, I don't know Mount Tai, I'm full of nonsense, I'm so bold, I didn't recognize you as a noble person, you don't remember villains, please forgive me this time!"

These four idioms in a row made the people onlookers burst into laughter.Meng Xiaosuo knew without thinking that Duan Taiding had told Li Jincai that he was a friend of Young Master Jiu, and immediately waved his hand to show that the matter would not be pursued.

Then Li Jincai finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked tentatively: "Miss Meng, this Bilan, should I send her back to her brother's home, or..."

Zhang Bilan?Meng Xiaosuo was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Second Sister Li's real name was Zhang Bilan, so she shook her head and said, "I'm staying at the Lezhi Inn next to the Yaoyue Tower, if it's convenient for you, please ask someone to bring Eldest Sister Zhang to the inn."

"It's convenient, of course it's convenient, Miss Meng, I'll go with you right now, and tell the shopkeeper to greet you well." Li Jincai smiled brightly.

"Huh? You opened the Le Zhi Inn?" Meng Xiaocoma realized.

"It was indeed opened by a villain." Li Jincai nodded.

"Then I won't pay for staying in the hotel in the future." Meng Xiaocom pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Ah?" Li Jincai was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out why the distinguished guests mentioned by the magistrate were so mean.

"Isn't it possible?" Meng Xiaocom raised her eyebrows.

"Okay, of course!" Li Jincai nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
