Chapter 388: Neither light nor heavy(1/2)
Yuan Mao moved in and entered two places, which was not too big, but it was both noisy and quiet, and the location was quite good. It was not too far from the Jinyiwei Yamen, so it was very convenient to get around.
Hu Guiyang came to the backyard and looked around, "This house costs you a lot of money, right?"
Ren Liuer smiled slightly, "If Captain Hu likes it, we will move out tomorrow. You will be here, and you can choose whatever you want."
"You are so generous. Did you pay for the money for buying a house?"
"I and Yuan Lang are not distinguished from each other."
"Hey, I really choose whatever I want?"
"That's right." Ren Liu'er reacted very quickly and immediately added: "It's just that the things in this house do not include... living things?"
Hu Guiyang laughed, "Forget it, I still like money. I promised three thousand taels, one tael cannot be missed."
"I'll go and prepare now, and Captain Hu will see it later."
"Good, take me to see Yuan Mao." When he arrived at the door, Hu Guiyang couldn't help but say, "Didn't Yuan Mao get into trouble with you?"
Ren Liu was born in a pet family and could not marry the Jinyi Captain. This was her pain point. She snorted coldly, but had to answer, "They asked for a lower price than you, and they would change their household registration by 1,000 taels of silver, and there would be no trouble."
"What if someone reported it?"
"Then go to a lawsuit and continue spending money."
"I'm so rich. Don't worry, the person who reported you will definitely not be me. Be careful of those two guys."
Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun followed not far behind. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, our brothers..."
Hu Guiyang pushed the door into the room, turned around and said to Ren Liuer, "I'll talk to him alone." After that, he closed the door.
"Hey." Yuan Mao sat on the bed and said hello, with a bright look, without any ill appearance. "She actually invited you."
Hu Guiyang raised three fingers and said, "I invited three thousand taels of silver. I think this silver will definitely be profitable, so I come and take a look. As I expected, you have nothing to do. Please get out of bed and walk for two steps, and I can take the silver."
"She cares about me too much." Yuan Mao didn't get out of bed.
"Martial harmony between husband and wife, this is your luck. I thought you wouldn't last long."
"There was indeed a conflict, and almost...Person Hu asked to sit down."
Hu Guiyang shook his head, "I still have something to do. Since you are not sick, I will say goodbye."
"Let's go..."
Ren Liuer's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Please take care of your body."
Yuan Mao had no choice but to say, "I am indeed sick. I am not in the appearance but in the inner world. Since Captain Hu has received the money, at least I will finish talking about the illness."
"That's right." Hu Guiyang brought a stool and sat outside the bed. "I've looked at it, asked, and found no problem. Now it's time to 'ask' and can't cut' later."
Yuan Mao smiled and said, "Actually nothing big. Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly lost consciousness and was already lying on the bed when I woke up. According to insiders, I once shouted loudly when I was in a coma, "The secret of heaven is coming again, and the strange one ascends" eight characters. She felt scared and had no choice but to send someone to invite Captain Hu."
"I've been dying and seeking medical treatment. I know all this, tell me your memory."
"I can't remember anything, I'm already lying on the bed in the second thought."
"Think about it carefully, do you feel like you can remember it? Even for the three thousand taels of silver, you should say a little more."
"Haha. Okay, I'll think about it again. Well... it was like a thick blanket suddenly fell on my head, and there was darkness in front of me, and then... it seemed like a lightning flashed down, and there was no thunder."
"That's all?"
"Well, I really don't have any impression of anything else."
"You're not disabled, are you?"
"No, Uchiko was worried and insisted on lying on the bed. Actually, everything is normal now."
Hu Guiyang stood up and said, "I am not a serious doctor, so I won't say good things to comfort you. Whether your illness is serious or not, or not. It is said that it is mild because you are still alive and jumping around. It is because those eight words are very concerned now. I may not be able to take you away and close it for a while. It is hard to say whether you can come out alive or not."
"So, it would be a big mistake to find you." Yuan Mao smiled.
"It's a big mistake, but it's irreversible. You'd better discuss a countermeasure and explain to outsiders why I had to come here. Also, keep the two guys' mouths in check and don't let them go out and talk nonsense."
"I understand. Where is Captain Hu now?"
"Nan Si Ji's house." Hu Guiyang bowed and said goodbye, "You should be promoted, right?"
"Trial hundreds of households, and there is still one year left to be able to teach them."
"Congratulations." Hu Guiyang turned around and left the house and said to Ren Liuer who was waiting outside: "Let's go to the hall to talk."
Ren Liu'er's face changed slightly, and she followed her into the hall and poured tea in person. Jiang and Zheng were guarding outside.
Hu Guiyang stood and drank a sip of tea, "Is the silver ready?"
"It's still a little bit worse. I didn't expect the doctor to be so fast..."
"It's okay, just send it to my house in the evening."
Hu Guiyang bowed and wanted to say goodbye, Ren Liuer said in surprise: "That's all for this?"
"What do you think is?"
"I think... it's related to Yuan Lang's condition."
"The condition is like that. If it cannot be cured, it will not be bad. The best medicine is to keep your mouth shut and don't let outsiders know that Yuan Mao said those eight words."
“I will take care of my family.”
"That's all. If you have to use medicine, buy two pork bones, one pig heart, and a few seasonings. Bring to a high heat and simmer for an hour..."
"This is not medicine." Ren Liuer interrupted coldly.
"I'll finish it. After stewing, shave off the meat without leaving any left. Buried it all underground. Throw the pork bones onto the roof. The soup and pig heart are taken orally for three days, once a day. You can't eat or drink other foods during this period. This is the ancient prescription collected by my adoptive father back then. It is specialized in treating the symptoms of heart loss and has miraculous effects."
Ren Liuer was half-believing and half-doubted, "Will you not be hungry if you only drink soup?"
"It's only three days, can't you bear it?" Hu Guiyang walked out, suddenly stopped, and turned around and said, "I almost forgot the most important thing. You can't have sex within a month. You can't even sleep in the same bed. Remember."
Ren Liuer's face turned red, Hu Guiyang had already left, and said to Jiang and Zheng in the yard: "My locks are destroyed again, so I will settle the score with you two."
"We have long stopped doing this. Brother Guiyang, Captain Hu..."
The lieutenant Hu walked out of Yuan's house and went to the yamen outside Ji'an.
The meal time has passed, and Hu Guiyang can only have a plate of pastries to satisfy his hunger.
Jiang Yun didn't say anything about his lateness, and was still focusing on checking past documents.
Hu Guiyang stayed for a while and had nothing to do, so he simply took the initiative to go home.
In the evening, the Yuan family's money arrived and was delivered by a money shop, but no Yuan family followed him.
Several boxes were placed side by side in the hall, and the lids were all opened. Hu Guiyang carefully checked before leaving the money shop, closed the yard door, sat in the hall to appreciate it, and smirked till he was interrupted by a rush knock on the door.
You don’t have to ask him who it is, so you have to go out and open the door, “Hi family is sending things again?”
When the Hua family and his son entered the yard, Dabing immediately ran over to show off. Dabing Lady Hua opened the bag, fed it half a cake and a bone, and handed the bag to his son, "Put it in the kitchen and keep it for the rhubarb to eat later."
"It turned out not to be for me." Hu Guiyang smiled.
"No, the He family didn't send anything. They were marrying their daughters or buying son-in-laws. Today they came to you and asked you to get married the day after tomorrow. You can clean up the house and prepare all the betrothal gifts for you. I'll send them tomorrow. If you want to go to the yamen to work, leave the keys for me."
"It's okay if you don't go to the yamen, no one cares about me."
"Hey, I know you are not doing well in the yamen. You should go or not. At least you leave the impression of being diligent and honest. Take the key."
Hu Guiyang had no choice but to hand over one key, but fortunately there was one left, "Is the He family here?"
"No, I'll entrust someone else."
"Madam Hua, don't you think this is strange? You're going to get engaged, and the He family still doesn't show up. What if they are liars? What if there is something wrong with the He family's daughter?"
"What a liar is he who didn't ask you to pay a penny? Even if the He family's daughter has something wrong, you have to take it. Who told you to collect the money? Besides, what are your abilities? You have to be picky?"
"I don't have the ability, at least I have to have the wealth of Brother Hua to pick one." Hu Guiyang smiled.
"I only picked a few families." Brother Hua walked over, not as happy as when he first got engaged. "The young master of the Zhang family next door, several groups of matchmakers ran home every day, and I don't know how many dozens or hundreds of times I picked it, but it hasn't settled yet."
"When you are as rich as the Zhang family, please pick a few more times for my grandson."
"I worked hard to make money, let him enjoy it? A little brat..." Brother Hua was glared by his mother and had to let go of his unborn son. He changed his words: "Mom, my thirty-sixth uncle can actually choose a few more families. He is a rich man now, and he has enough money to hang it in the hall."
Grandma Hua was not surprised, "I don't know him yet? I can only look at Yinzi's eyes and not grab the silver palm. Today, a thousand taels are in front of me, and tomorrow I will lose money and have no choice. Someone must be the housekeeper for him."
"It's still Madam Hua who knows me." Hu Guiyang said with a wry smile.
The mother and son were about to leave, and Hu Guiyang was sent to the door, "Madam Hua, ask you something."
"Um."
"The adoptive father adopted so many orphans, both men and women, why didn't he arrange for everyone to marry each other and insist on marrying another?"
Brother Hua said angrily: "Hu Guiyang, what do you mean?"
Lady Hua was not angry, "You are so bad-hearted, your uncle didn't mean that." After thinking for a while, she continued: "The adopted mother had this idea back then, but the adoptive father disagreed. No one knew the reason. Anyway, he accepted a lot of brides when he married his daughter."
When talking about this past event, Mrs. Hua got angry, "The bride price has become rubble, leaving only an uneasy adopted son to worry about me."
"I don't think my thirty-sixth uncle appreciates it, let's not worry about him." Brother Hua blinked at Hu Guiyang.
Grandma Hua said angrily: "There are only two adopted sons left in the Zhao family. One of them has changed his surname. I don't care about your thirty-sixth uncle. Who cares? Do you see that he is alone for life and in the end there is not even a person who can burn paper for his adoptive father and mother's grave?"
