Chapter 10 Who's the Toad
The third aunt hesitated for a moment, got up and walked to the old man and whispered: "Old man, but my daughter's body has not yet recovered. Will you talk about it after he has cured all the illness?"
Miss Gao cried out in the bed: "Don't wait! I don't want to see him! I'm already well now. I can get out of bed and go to the toilet by myself. I will find a doctor to prescribe medicine for two days, but it's still the same? I will recover soon, and I don't need that waste to come again, and I will never take the medicine he prescribes! Throw all the food he sent to the toilet!"
The senior manager hurriedly agreed, handed the food box in his hand to the servant, and ordered it to be thrown into the toilet. The third concubine quickly went back to comfort her daughter.
Old Master Gao looked at his daughter and said, "My daughter's illness is almost cured. That's the same thing as the waste. If you take another medicine today, it will probably be almost the same. I'll invite Dr. Huang and the others to take a look later. It's almost the same to prescribe two doses of tonics to nourish the body. The waste doesn't need to go to my Gao family again, so as not to tarnish my high-priced family."
The senior manager quickly agreed.
The old lady thought for a while and said, "The Master posted a notice before, but said that if our daughter's illness is cured, we will either recruit the son-in-law as a son-in-law or give a heavy reward. Since we don't recruit him as a son-in-law as a son-in-law, will we give him a reward? It can be considered as blocking the mouths of outsiders, so that people will not say that we will destroy the bridges across the river."
"Give him a reward?" Old Master Gao smiled coldly, "Their family business was defeated by him. He borrowed usury and bribed him as an official. I gave him money. If he took it to bribe him again, others would know, wouldn't he say I asked him to bribe? It would never work!"
The second concubine glanced at the old lady and saw that he looked embarrassed, she said, "Master, what the wife said is reasonable. If others know that he has cured our daughter and we have not given him a bounty, I am afraid that the old lady's reputation will be affected!"
Old Master Gao walked around the house for a few times before stopping and said, "Since that's the case, I'll give him fifty cents. - In Tongzhou, a famous doctor came to the hospital and the medical fee was only 10 to 20 cents. I'll give him five times the medical fee. Is it worthy of him? That's it. - Senior Manager, you must make it clear to him, don't let him think about it. Take the money and leave quickly, and don't show up at the door of my Gao family! Did you hear it?"
The senior manager quickly agreed. After hearing his father made such a decision, Miss Gao on the bed stopped crying.
In the evening, Lu Jinping brought Ye Qingqing, carrying a food box and half a can of potion, and came outside the Gao Mansion Gate.
When he saw that the gate of Gao Mansion was closed and there was not a single person, Lu Jinping's mouth showed a sneer.
Those who come to deliver medicine and food these days are usually waiting at the door, and at least the senior manager is greeted by him. But now he is turned away without even a person. Lu Jinping has already realized what is going on.
Ye Qingqing was very angry, pursed her lips, walked up the stone steps quickly, grabbed the copper ring of the door, pounded a few times, and said loudly: "Don't anyone have any? Do you want the medicine? If you don't, I'll fall to the door!"
After a while, the courtyard gate opened. A servant looked out, looked at the two of them, and snorted heavily in his nostrils, and said slowly: "What are you shouting? Wait!" After that, he closed the courtyard gate again with a bang, and heard the sound of pulling the door bolt, as if he was afraid that they would rush in. This made Ye Qingqing even more unhappy, and his pretty face was covered with frost.
After a while, the yard gate opened again with a bang. The senior manager appeared at the door with two servants. He rolled his eyes and nostrils up. He looked at Lu Jinping and said, "Justice Lu, right? You have deceived us! It turns out that you are the waste who sells his ancestral property and wants to bribe officials. To be honest, our master hates people the most. He takes advantage of tricks. The master has already said that if you want to be the son-in-law of our Gao family, you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat. Don't even think about it! Our Gao family doesn't welcome people like you. Our lady said that she doesn't want you to treat your illness. The old master also said that in the future, you will not be allowed to enter our Gao family for half a step, and don't appear at the door of my Gao family! Did you hear it clearly?"
Ye Qingqing was furious and was about to get angry, but Lu Jinping waved his hand and signaled her not to.
The senior manager took out his hand behind him, holding the string of fifty-money copper coins in his palm, and weighed it in his palm: "However, it is a bit of credit for saving our lady. Our old man clearly has a grudge. What he promised is to do. Look, this is the reward for you. I hope you don't use the money you rewarded by the master to bribe and buy officials, so as not to lose our old man's face!"
Speaking of this, the senior manager threw out a string of copper coins in his hand and threw it on the steps with a bang. The rope broke and the copper coins immediately dispersed, jingling and spilling all over the floor.
The senior manager was about to turn around and enter the yard when he heard a crisp "bang" beside him. He was startled. When he turned around, he saw that Ye Qingqing threw the medicine jar and food box in his hand on the steps beside him. Suddenly, the soup and medicine and food were sprinkled all over the floor. The senior manager was so scared that he quickly stepped back and pointed at Ye Qingqing and said, "You! What are you going to do? - Come!"
The two servants stepped forward and just pulled out their posture. Ye Qingqing flew up and kicked them off the steps, screaming and unable to get up.
Ye Qingqing pointed to the senior manager and said, "You ungrateful bastards who have crossed the river and destroyed the bridge! Don't think that your Gao family is powerful and powerful. What is our Lord lost to you? You still want our Lord to be your son-in-law? You dream! You don't urinate and look at yourself. Your ugly daughter wants to be worthy of our Lord? She is the toad who wants to eat swan meat! Bah! If the mountains and waters don't turn, one day you will ask our Lord to be our Lord. Let's see how you cry at that time!"
After saying that, Ye Qingqing reached out and pushed the senior manager back and staggered for several steps, just tripping on the high threshold, and slamming into the door with a bang. He screamed, finally got up, but hid behind the high threshold and didn't dare to get up. He only showed half of his face and looked at the two of them in horror.
Lu Jinping stepped forward two steps and looked at the senior manager and said, "Go back and tell you master, don't think that his daughter's illness has been cured. - within five days, his daughter will definitely die! My girl just said right, "The mountains and rivers will not turn around. If my prediction is right, remember, don't come to me, otherwise you will be humiliated. As for the fifty cents, buy some paper money and burn it to you Miss Gao, so that she won't have money to deal with the little ghost judge and be bullied by the ghost!"
After saying that, Lu Jinping turned around and left. Ye Qingqing spat fiercely at the senior manager and quickly caught up with Lu Jinping.
There were a few wandering children among the crowd watching the bustle at the door. They saw a lot of copper coins and rice dishes on the steps. The two servants were lying on the ground and couldn't get up. It was a good opportunity and immediately rushed up to compete for the copper coins on the ground.
The two servants then endured the pain and got up to chase them. The children were quick-witted and quick-witted. Even though they were kicked a few times on their butts and a few thrusts on their heads, they still snatched all the copper coins on the ground, and even the white rice and delicious dishes scattered on the ground were held in their hands and flew away.
The two servants cursed and didn't chase after him. They quickly entered the yard and helped the senior manager who was hiding behind the threshold up.
The senior manager looked up and could no longer see Lu Jinping and the others, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't leave if you have the ability! Let's go to the yamen to judge the lords. Don't think that it's great if you are a lord. In our Gao family's eyes, you lords are nothing! I'm gonna swear!"
The senior manager cursed and turned around and screamed into the yard. With the help of two servants, he arrived at the inner house.
