Chapter 113: The Beginning......
Before it was late at night, I could vaguely feel the hustle and bustle inside and outside the entire Su family's mansion, and the restless sense of restlessness. The lights in the hall flickered, and the windows shimmered. In Su Tan'er's bedroom, Chan'er and Juan'er stayed by the bedside, holding a warm towel to Su Tan'er, who seemed to be a little uneasy on the bed, on her forehead, and the old doctor with white hair was sitting on the edge of the bed to check Su Tan'er's pulse. Ning Yi stood at the door, thinking about things with his hands on his chest, and no one came in in the courtyard outside except for the medicine boy who followed Dr. Sun.
The diagnosis process was not long, the old doctor let go of Su Tan'er's wrist, got up and walked out, Juan'er hurriedly followed, and at the gate outside, Xing'er with reddish eyes also came over.
"The second lady is infected with a cold, I am afraid that the symptoms have been for many days, and there are some other reasons in the middle, well, I am afraid that I have also come to the wind and cold in the past few days, cough...... Here comes Aoi water. All of this adds up to an aggravated cold, and if it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, and after a few pills went down and the fever subsided, it would be almost better. Just other than that...... The second lady is probably too tired, probably because she was stimulated by the uncle's affairs, and she was exhausted under the blow...... All of this adds up, and it's not going to be okay in a few days. ”
"Exhausted?" Ning Yi frowned and asked.
The old doctor nodded: "Well, this time it's not so much about the wind chill, it's more about the long-term fatigue and pressure, both physical and mental exhaustion, and the most important thing is in the heart, just add the wind chill and break out at once." This matter cannot be taken lightly, so I will prescribe medicine to reduce the fever for the second lady first, but the cure is still ...... The second lady can put it down in her heart, alas......"
The old doctor surnamed Sun sighed, he was worshiped by the Su family, and he was also led by the treatment of Su Boyong, so he naturally understood the situation of the Su family at this time, and it was not easy to let Su Tan'er put down in his heart. He shook his head and wrote the prescription in the living room, and then told him to say goodbye and leave, and Xiaochan followed to grab the medicine. Juan'er and Xing'er ran to the bedside to look at Su Tan'er who was unconscious, and then looked at Ning Yi with a slight cry: "What should I do." These words seem to be asking Ning Yi for help, and they seem to be talking to themselves, the three maids are also very assertive in managing many things in the big house on weekdays, but at this time, Su Boyong fell, and after Su Tan'er also fell, he was finally at a loss.
Ning Yi took the prescription and thought for a while before he asked, "What happened in the past few days?" ”
The reason why Su Tan'er contracted the wind chill may have been caused by falling into the bathtub that afternoon, and there seemed to be some symptoms in the first few days, but it was not serious. After Su Boyong's assassination, Su Tan'er's challenges must have been very difficult, but there was no sign that she would retreat or be knocked down, and she was still very confident that she was going to deal with the imperial merchant in the early morning a few days ago, her spirit and self-confidence were at the peak, and there was nothing wrong with the strain.
Just like a large company, it will face a lot of blows, a lot of conspiracies, light or heavy. After the blow arrives, it is normal for this side to start straining. Su Boyong's assassination can be regarded as a sudden blow, if Su Tan'er will fall directly without resistance because of a blow, it is impossible for her to do this step at the moment, and it will be difficult for someone who can only adapt to the good situation to take charge of the Su family in the future.
Su Tan'er is not such a character, Ning Yi has long been clear, if she wants to be hit on the spiritual level, it can't be the things that happened before. And the other party should have been psychologically prepared for any conspiracy and blow. In these four short days, something more important must have happened......
When she asked like this, Juan'er was slightly puzzled, and turned her head to look at Xing'er, who had been following Miss most of the time in the past few days. Xing'er was still in tears, looked at Juan'er and Ning Yi for a while, wiped her tears and choked up, "I'm ...... Miss said she wouldn't let ......"
Ning Yi thought for a moment, then sat down on the chair next to him, sighed, he reached out and rubbed his forehead, and muttered, "Exhausted...... Imperial businessman, there is a problem with the imperial businessman, and the problem that cannot be solved...... Externally or internally, externally, offended the officials of the Weaving Bureau, but the things that visited those officials in the past few days were all done by the shopkeepers, and they couldn't get to the step of tearing their faces...... It's just that there is an internal problem, and if there is a problem, it can't be solved, and I don't have much interest in technical things, so I won't talk about it for the time being......"
The two maids listened to him murmur this, and Xing'er then cried even more: "Actually, actually...... ...... a few days ago", before the words were finished, there were already footsteps outside, Juan'er and Xing'er hurriedly went out, it was the Liao shopkeeper with the highest seniority in the big house, and he had already learned the situation from Dr. Sun, and came to inquire. Mrs. Su has not returned to the house yet, and Juan'er and Xing'er will definitely not be able to be the masters, so they discussed a few words with Shopkeeper Liao in a whisper. Ning Yi sat in the room speculating on the possibility of things, stood up and walked a few steps, looking at Su Tan'er who was sleeping on the bed.
This bedroom is still tidy on weekdays, probably because it is too busy these days, in fact, it seems a little messy, when Ning Yi walked over to a few books on the table, he accidentally saw something falling from the foot of the bed, he picked it up, it was a small piece of cloth, triangular, light yellow, with a simple line on it.
The cloth probably fell to the ground in the past two days, there was no dust, Ning Yi took it close to the oil lamp, and remembered some things. One day on the second floor of the small building opposite, Su Tan'er took a piece of cloth to show him, and at that time she was smiling like a flower, and she was very happy: "Xianggong, do you see that this color is beautiful?" ”
"Oh...... Pretty is pretty, this color is not available to ordinary people......"
Bright yellow cloth ...... Su Tan'er didn't discuss this topic too much at the time, but the cloth was bright, and Ning Yi probably remembered it, but now, this piece seemed to have faded and turned light yellow......
The shopkeeper Liao outside mentioned Ning Yi's name, and Ning Yi sighed and withdrew the piece of cloth into his sleeve. Now that Su Boyong and Su Tan'er have fallen, it is impossible to call the people in the second and third rooms to find a way. Ning Yi doesn't care about these things on weekdays, but he still has the status of the master in the Su family, and then the shopkeeper Liao chatted with him for a few words, probably so that he could make a statement, Ning Yi nodded.
"It's not a big deal, it's business as usual, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, but don't spread Tan'er's affairs around, don't let too many people know that she is sick for the time being, that's all."
"I know that Miss Lu Dao's condition needs to be recuperated, and I can't worry about it, but ...... If something really happens, when you need to make an idea, I don't know what to do......"
"Then take it, and we'll figure it out here. The rest...... There is the trouble of the shopkeeper and the shopkeepers. ”
"Yes. In fact, even if there are any changes, everyone has the experience to deal with them, for so many years, they are all old fritters in the cloth shop, and I ask my uncle to let Miss be more relieved......"
If it is only Jiangning, there will be no problem with any shopkeeper, but if it involves the changes and impacts of the national business, there must be a backbone, but for the time being, there is no other way to think of it.
After the shopkeeper Liao left, Chan'er grabbed the medicine and came back. Soon after, the old lady who returned to the house hurried over and looked at Su Tan'er, who was still asleep, this incident made the old man also suffer a great blow, but it was useless to say anything at the moment, he told Ning Yi and the three maids a few words of relief, and went back with heavy steps.
After the old lady also left, the courtyard finally quieted down, the flickering lights, and the smell of Chinese medicine. There had been many days before for a few people in the courtyard, when everyone sat together talking, playing backgammon, and occasionally laughing, and it was a family. The four girls in Ning Yi's yard before the future can probably be regarded as a family, but the atmosphere is really quiet at this time, Xiaochan came in with a medicine bowl, and everyone waited silently, Juan'er couldn't help but choke up: "What should we do?" Uncle......"
Su Boyong has fallen, Su Tan'er is also unconscious, even if he can wake up, his body will not be able to recover for a while, and the old lady may only let others temporarily take over the affairs of the big house. The future suddenly became empty, unpredictable and terrible, and no one knew what would suddenly become like this. If Ning Yi was really the nerd he used to be, maybe he would have been excluded, but after more than a year of getting along, at least in such a matter, Ning Yi has also been accepted as a member of this family...... Of course, when Juan'er asked at this time, it was just because she was at a loss, Ning Yi was a man, different from them, but if there was really a solution to the problem, it would definitely be impossible.
Ning Yi was standing in front of the window at this time cleaning up some things on the desk, and the room was a little messy, so he put some things in place, and some of them were thrown into places that could not be seen on the cabinet, he was not fast, but at this time he had already cleaned up. He didn't look back, just folded a piece of rice paper on the table a few times, then unfolded it, poured some water into the inkstone, and slowly grinded the ink. "Didn't I teach you how to deal with these things before?" Ning Yi said in a low voice.
The three girls shook their heads.
Ning Yi picked up the brush and was silent for a moment: "Next...... I want the account books of the Su family over the years, about seven to ten years, the records of the development of the Su family in all aspects, the letters exchanged with the shopkeepers in various regions, and I want to know everything that happened in the business of the Su family, the method of contingency, the final result and the reasons for this result...... In addition, I want more rice paper, ink, some fine threads, prepare some pastries, not too sweet for the full, and prepare a big pot of tea...... That's about it for now......"
There was silence in the rear, and the three maids were a little at a loss, not knowing what he was going to do. Ning Yi looked back.
"It's impossible on my father-in-law's side, but the old lady's side...... Someone might be called to help, but it didn't work. Ning Yi lightly stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Tan'er on the bed, "Your young lady won't let it go, after she wakes up, the first thing she has to do is not to take medicine, but to get out of bed, and no one can replace her...... So, the result is simple. ”
He smiled over there, a little helpless, a little bored, not much different from when he played chess and told stories on weekdays: "I'll try it......"
Juan'er and Xing'er were still a little hesitant, Chan'er took a breath over there, and her eyes were hazy with tears, but then she showed a smile, wiped the corners of her eyes, and turned around and went out: "I'll go get the account books and records...... "The Su family has a general account room, but the big house has these records of the big house being separated, in fact, one is next door, and the three maids manage these things on weekdays, and they are qualified to get it."
After Xiaochan left, Juan'er thought about it and went with her, followed by Xing'er, she wiped the tears on her face, and whispered when she went out: "Uncle...... Is it right here? ”
"What if your young lady wakes up?"
Uncle wants to help Miss solve some problems, for such an idea, Xing'er and Juan'er can't tell whether it's a good thing or not, and what the result will be, but if it's in other places, once Miss wakes up, she will definitely want to get out of bed and deal with things immediately, but the three maids know this. In any case, I have to let the young lady stay in bed, and this matter may only be done by my uncle.
She smiled a little embarrassedly, and then went out, when there was only him and the unconscious Su Tan'er in the room, Ning Yi sat down and sighed at the rice paper and brush.
"You people, you are going too far...... Whoever gets into trouble can't be at peace......"
Vaguely, it was like a complaint to someone behind the scenes......
In the early hours of the morning, after the ugly hour, Su Tan'er woke up......
PS: It's a little difficult to fix the time of the update, but if it hasn't been updated at ten o'clock in the evening, I'll go to the book review area and post a post to preview the possible time, well, I'm afraid it can only be like this for the time being......
