The doctor from Huichun Hall came very quickly. He was familiar with the way to the prefect's house. In addition, he knew that there would be money to be made, so he ran like a rabbit.
After examining Su Rong, he took out the Jade Satin Ointment with a smile and handed it over respectfully, "Miss Qi, you can use this ointment when the wound is scarred. One bottle will ensure that you won't get scars."
Su Rong nodded, "Take my mother's pulse again."
The eldest lady said with a sullen face, "I don't have to."
Su Rong didn't say anything, but forcefully took the eldest lady's arm and motioned for the doctor to come forward.
The doctor stepped forward with a smile. After checking the lady's pulse, he said with a smile: "My wife is fine, she is just a little angry. I will prescribe a prescription to remove the heat. She will be fine after taking it for two days."
The eldest lady withdrew her hand.
Su Rong nodded, "Then let's drive!"
So the doctor went outside to prescribe medicine.
Su Rong followed him, stood beside him and asked, "Have you been to Chen Duwei's mansion? How is Chen Zhou's injury?"
The doctor paused and sighed, "Well, Mr. Chen's injury is very serious. I prescribed three bottles of Ningzhi Jade Satin Cream."
Su Rongle, "Well, I've created income for you again."
The doctor was very polite and said in a low voice: "Miss Qi, don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Su Rong was satisfied, took the jade satin paste and Yuewan, and Shi Shiran left.
The doctor left the prescription, happily went to the accounting room to settle the bill, and then happily left the prefect's house holding the money bag.
The eldest lady felt sorry for Yin Zi, "This prodigal thing will only harm her. If we don't marry her off, sooner or later the family will be ruined by her."
Several ladies were already numb.
The third young lady said, "Mom, instead of thinking about marrying off the seventh sister, why don't you marry us off first? We're afraid that when we get married, we won't even be able to raise a dowry."
The fourth young lady agreed, "Yes, mother, we don't want to point the seventh sister to climb a high tree together. If this continues, if she can't get married, we will be in your hands."
The eldest lady's heart ached and her head ached, "Hey, she's still a month away from getting her haircut. I'm going to write to the Duke Protector's Office and ask what the regulations are. If the Duke Protector's Palace breaks off the engagement, we really can't count on her. Who knows? That young master Zhou turned out to be just as out of tune."
She comforted a few people, "The most important thing in the Protector's Palace is credibility. The old Protector is here, so there should be no regrets about the marriage. As long as the Protector's Palace recognizes this marriage, your marriage will follow the trend."
"Mom, we have been staying in Jiangning. If we go to the capital according to your plan, can we do it?" The eldest lady was worried.
"Why not? All the money you have spent on you over the years, the tutors you have hired, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting you have learned are all in vain? Don't worry, as far as your rules are concerned, they are no worse than the boudoir ladies in the capital. ."
She said angrily, "Only Xiao Qi, except for her face, everything else has been messed up. I spend the most money on her."
"What if the Protector of the Kingdom regrets the marriage?" the second lady asked.
"This..." the eldest lady was asked, "I can't say for sure."
She said cruelly, "This year, the eldest of you is only seventeen. You can still wait within half a year. Even if Xiao Qi can't be counted on, you can still count on your brother. He is about to end in Jinqiu. If he In high school, you will also become popular, and the threshold for choosing a bride will be much higher."
All the girls nodded in unison, with smiles finally appearing on their faces, "My brother is the most reliable."
The eldest lady picked up the letter on the side, clicked on the content inside, and was very angry, "Look at the rules, every time he writes a letter home, it only lasts three pages, and both pages are talking about Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi Well, she just came here and didn't even ask what was written in the letter."
She called someone, "Wang Ma, take this book to Xiaoqi and let her read it and write a reply to Xingze. Damn it, her brother doesn't even care about me, he only cares about her. Let me see if she has any It’s shameful to mention that she got into trouble again.”
Wang Ma took the young master's family letter and hurriedly went to find Su Rong.
Although Mr. Su is the governor of a county, and although Jiangning is also very wealthy, Mr. Su is an upright and strange person who does not know how to make money. He can barely support his appearance by relying on his salary and a small amount of income from his ancestral business. Logically speaking, such an upright person shouldn't have any shortcomings, but Mr. Su does have one. He is a womanizer.
Therefore, the little money he had was used to carry women to the backyard.
So much so that the backyard of the prefect's mansion was filled with women. A woman lives in a yard, gives birth to a daughter, then in another yard, and so on, until she gives birth to Su Rong, Su Rong has no yard to live in. Su Rong can only live with her mother, but her mother was seven years old when she was He died at that time, and she and Yuewan lived in her mother's yard for another month.
One day a month later, Su Rong was too tired after fighting with someone, and accidentally knocked over the candlestick. It was windy that day, and it was night. The window was not closed, and the wind blew in. The house suddenly caught fire, and the moon was crescent. The two of her had no strength to save her, so they only had the strength to run out. After running out of the courtyard, they looked back and saw that the whole house was on fire.
Mr. Su really loved Qi Yiniang. Seeing that the house where his concubine lived and everything she used during her lifetime were burned down, and there was no way to put out the fire, not even a tile was left. He couldn't stand it any longer and pouted over.
Qi Yiniang's yard is the most exquisite, and everything used is of the best quality.
This fire has been burned, how much money has been lost?
The eldest lady was very angry, and in a fit of anger, she drove Su Rong to a small shabby courtyard in the northeast corner where no one lived.
Later, Mr. Su wanted to spend money to rebuild Qi Yiniang's yard several times, but he always gave up because his daughter was too expensive to fight with others and had no money.
Su Rong felt that the small broken courtyard was quite nice. It was far away from the main courtyard and other courtyards. It was convenient for her to climb over the wall to get out without having to drill dog holes all the time. It was also quite good. She could just live there for many years.
But outsiders didn't know the inside story, and they all said that the eldest lady was jealous of Qi Yiniang for being favored during her lifetime. After Qi Yiniang died, the eldest lady was kind to all the other aunts and daughters, but she was very harsh on Su Rong and refused to give her good food or drinks. Not only did she wear good clothes, but she was also beaten and scolded, and she was punished to copy scriptures in the ancestral hall. It was reasonable to let her live in a small shabby yard all the time.
When Wang Ma came to the little broken courtyard, she would always think of the Nuanxiang Pavilion where Qi Yiniang lived. It was really a golden house made of jade hall, fragrant and warm, brocade and red. It was destroyed. No wonder the eldest lady scolded Qi. Miss evil.
Yuewan heard the footsteps, looked out, and said loudly: "Miss, Mother Wang is here."
Su Rong was sharpening a dagger with a whetstone. Hearing this, he immediately put away the whetstone and dagger, and lay back on the bed with a neat movement. He closed his eyes and groaned because of his headache.
Wang Ma is an old woman, so she knew that there must be something shady going on in the house, otherwise Yue Wan would not have a guilty expression on her face. She was also speechless. Miss Seven was arrogant, but she was also a clever person, and the maid next to her was... He has always acted like a little fool, without any cleverness at all.
They all grew up eating the same rice, so why are there such big differences?
She entered the back room, came to the bed, and respectfully handed Su Xingze's family letter to Su Rong, "Miss Qi, this is the master's family letter. Madam asked the old slave to bring it to you for review. She said that this letter will be returned by you."
Su Rong immediately opened her eyes with a look of surprise on her face, "Every time I write home, isn't it always my mother who writes back?"
"Because every time I write home, two of the three pages are about you. My wife has been reading it for a year and is very angry. She says that the young master doesn't care about her anyway, but only cares about you. You should come back from this letter."
Su Rong: "..."
She would rather Su Xingze didn't miss her.
She took the letter home, expecting to see another two pages of stern warnings about not fighting, getting into trouble, bullying her sisters, and being angry with her father and mother. She was tired of reading it, but she didn't expect that this letter was different. It was detail-oriented and gentle. Wen Ruanyu said words of love and care for her.
Only at the end, she mentioned that she was about to get her haircut, and he would come back on the day when she got her haircut.
After Su Rong read the letter, she wondered, "Brother, you haven't lost your mind, right?"
Wang Ma thought to herself, you are the one who ruined your brain.
Su Rong read the letter again, and Su Xingze said that everything was fine with him, which meant that nothing happened. But she couldn't bear the sudden gentle words. She handed the letter back to Wang Ma, "My hand hurts from the fight and I can't write a reply. You take it back and let my mother write it. Just tell your elder brother that it's just a hairpin gift. Why did he come all the way back? Sisters." Similar to me, I have had three or four haircuts this year, but I haven't seen him come back. Let him study hard, I don't want this special thing, and our family can count on him to shine during the golden autumn scientific examination."
The implication is, don't come back, I don't want to see you.
Wang Ma: "..."
She coughed, stood still, and glanced at the bedside with her eyes, "Miss Seven, your dagger and whetstone were not well hidden. Just before the old slave came in, didn't you still have the strength to sharpen the dagger with your hands?"
The implication is that it can't be polished with feet, right? There is strength in sharpening a dagger, and there should be strength in writing letters.
Su Rong: "..."
She turned her head and glanced, and sure enough, the handle of the dagger and the edge of the whetstone were exposed on the edge of the pillow. She was probably too surprised and moved too much, and they were exposed after she touched something.
Everyone in the house is afraid of her, but this Wang Ma, who is Su Xingze's nanny, is not afraid of her.
She cursed in her heart, got out of bed slowly, and said angrily, "Yuewan, grind the ink!"
Yue Wan quickly found the red paper, and quickly selected the fine pen. The young master is very particular about writing letters on high-quality orchid letterhead. This was specially sent to me when I left. It is brand new and has not been used.
Su Rong held the pen and wrote in small regular script with a hairpin in one hand, and placed it on the letter paper, which made Wang Ma very satisfied. After all, this handwriting was taught by the young master himself. No matter what messy words he wrote, the young master will definitely be satisfied when he sees this handwriting.
