Chapter 119 You Really Stabbed My Dad
"Please rest assured, young lady. I will manage the house well and will never let you down."
Zhang Wentang stretched out his hands, took the purse respectfully, and assured Yuxiu.
Lin Er was also very moved. He took the silver and bowed to Yuxiu to express his gratitude.
In fact, several people had taken a fancy to him before, but considering his blind mother, no one was willing to buy him.
I don't want to buy an old lady like this who eats for free. It would be so annoying.
Today, he originally saw such a young girl who was dressed very elegantly, and thought that she would not be interested in him. However, when she heard that he had such a burden, she did not even raise her eyelids and showed no sign of disgust at all.
In this way, their family no longer has to be selected by others, and they can finally settle down completely.
After giving a few instructions, Yuxiu explained everything and asked Qian Da to help send the person over, while she took Mother Qiu back to the inn.
It's been so long since she came here, but this is the first time she has been separated from Cui for so long. Not to mention that she is a little uncomfortable. I wonder if her mother has time to think about her now.
Yuxiu smiled secretly in her heart. Just looking at Xu Qinghe's shocked and unbelievable expression today, she couldn't help but laugh every time she thought about it.
In the inn, Xu Qinghe had already listened to Cui's story of what happened on their journey. Because many things could not be said, Cui had to delete a lot of things and only talked about the parts that could be said, so many parts did not match.
"Anyway, your wife and children are all very capable now, so you just need to know. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Faced with Xu Qinghe's questioning, Cui was too lazy to make up any more lies, so he glared at him and displayed the authority of a disciple of the Divine Doctor Sect to stop the other party from asking questions.
"Didn't you just say that you still have headaches from time to time? I have some time now, so I'll help you find out what's going on."
In order to change the subject, Cui grabbed Xu Qinghe's wrist and began to take his pulse.
"Maybe you hit your head when you fell down the mountain. You forgot a lot of things before, and the blood clots haven't healed yet. Although it's better now, the blood clots are still there, so you always have a headache."
As Cui spoke, she held Xu Qinghe down to prevent him from moving. She quickly took out a pack of silver needles from the medicine box and started injecting them into his head.
So when Yuxiu came back, she saw Xu Qinghe's head full of silver needles, as densely packed as a hedgehog.
"Mom, are you really going to stab my dad?"
She remembered what she had said to her mother as a joke before, and she didn't expect that she would actually get the tattoo.
"What is this girl thinking? She's just talking nonsense here."
Cui rolled her eyes at her, wondering how cruel her daughter thought her mother was.
"Your father still has blood clots in his brain. I have time now so I thought I'd give him two injections right away, to avoid any further damage."
Cui looked behind her daughter and didn't see Mother Qiu, so she asked.
"Where's Mother Qiu? Didn't she come back with us?"
"The house and servants have been bought today, so I'll have someone send them back to her."
Anyway, they don't have much luggage, so they can just take the carriage directly to the new house tomorrow. Mother Qiu has been running around for most of the day, so they thought of letting her go back and have a good rest.
Yuxiu sat next to Xu Qinghe and asked Cui with a smile.
"How many days will it take for my father's injection to heal?"
Xu Qinghe looked very aggrieved because the needles were all stuck in his head. Cui told him not to talk or make any big movements, so he just sat there obediently, with his eyes rolling around.
"Let's try it today to see how it works. If it works, we'll try it again tomorrow and it should be about the same."
Cui poured a cup of tea for her daughter and handed it to her. The two talked for a while about buying a house and the situation of the servants. Xu Qinghe couldn't speak, so he just stood there and listened to them.
When Xu Qinghe heard that he had spent five hundred taels of silver to buy more than twenty servants, his eyes widened in disbelief.
He thought that his daughter meant to buy one or two maids to serve, so that when Cui gave birth to a child, they could help take care of the child. However, he didn't expect that she would buy so many people at this time. Why would their family need so many people to serve?
It's a pity that he couldn't move or speak at this time, otherwise he would have to ask her to send the person back.
The story was not over yet. Yuxiu went on to talk about the house, and Xu Qinghe was even more shocked. He felt that what Cui said about the blood clot in his brain must be correct, and now he could not hear clearly.
Thirty thousand taels?
How is that possible? Even if a house in the capital is expensive, it shouldn’t cost so much, right?
Besides, where did they get so much money in just two months?
My wife didn’t tell me in the afternoon what great thing they had done to earn so much money.
Yuxiu and Cui had no idea of the turmoil in Xu Qinghe's heart and were still chatting animatedly. In a short while, they even picked names for the eight little girls.
Because of Cui's identity as a disciple of the Miracle Doctor, the two discussed it and decided to name them after Chinese herbal medicines.
They are perilla, hibiscus, costusroot, evening primrose, arisaema, cinnabar, indigo, and ganoderma.
They were chatting animatedly here. On the other side, Mother Qiu had already returned to Prince Ning's Mansion and was reporting to Princess Ning about what happened today when she went out with Yuxiu.
"My Lady Princess, this banknote was not used, and I brought it back intact."
Mother Qiu took out the silver bills from the small bag and placed them on the table, then repeated what Yuxiu had said.
"If she doesn't want it, forget it. Just hand the banknote back to the account office tomorrow."
Princess Ning was not very surprised. She was just expressing her attitude. It would be great if others accepted it. This favor could be considered as having been done.
It doesn’t matter even if it is confiscated, as long as the intention is there.
"Miss Xu gave this to me before I came back."
Mother Qiu took out a small bottle the size of a finger from the package. It looked like it was made of glass and was completely transparent. It was tightly plugged with a small wooden stopper, and you could clearly see a small black pill inside.
"It looks like a pill..."
Princess Ning picked up the bottle and shook it, and found that there was indeed a pill inside. The bottle was probably tailor-made, and one pill could fit in it just right.
Although it is unclear what effect this pill has, just looking at the exquisite and small glass bottle, it is clear that this thing is not simple.
"What did she say when she gave it to you?"
Princess Ning played with the small medicine bottle. Could it be that someone saw that Mother Qiu had some hidden illness and was so kind as to give her the medicine?
