Chapter 822 Heading to Suzhuang

Sujiazhuang is said to be a village, but in fact it is not very big. There are 500 acres of fertile land in the village, and it employs forty tenants. Including their families, there are also a hundred people.

This was bought by Su Xiuxiu. Grain and some fruits and vegetables were grown on Zhuangzi in order to make the family self-sufficient. The excess output would be sold in shops in the county town, which also brought in a lot of income.

Su Xiuxiu is not the kind of rich man who is unkind for his wealth. Moreover, his daughter wants to get a reputation. This reputation is very important, so the output of Zhuangzi is basically 46 points. The seeds are grown from Zhuangzi, and the grain, fruits, and The vegetable tenants keep 40% for themselves and hand over 60%. For those farmers who make a living in the fields, this is already a good treatment.

In good harvest years, some of the tenant farmers harvested a lot of grain and could sell it directly to Zhuangzi without being priced down or defaulting on money. Therefore, Su Xiuxiu's reputation has always been very good, and the people in Zhuangzi are not stupid. Knowing that it is not easy to meet such a master, the fields are taken care of very carefully.

When the tenant farmers on Zhuangzi learned that something had happened to their master, they all took the initiative to change into simple clothes. Especially when they knew that the owner's only daughter was coming to Zhuangzi to observe her filial piety, they even cleaned the road leading to Zhuangzi. Su, the head of the village, Wuye had arranged everything early in the morning and cleaned the farmyard as soon as he entered it, making it spotless.

Lianyi just sent someone a message, but didn't say the specific day when she would arrive. She didn't want these people to mobilize in large numbers to welcome her, so she had to walk for five days in the three-day journey, mainly because the road was not easy to walk, and Lianyi was The driver was so uncomfortable that he slowed down.

Because she was observing filial piety and not coming to enjoy the village, there were not many people with her. The coachman Lao Su Tou, the book boy Su Anhe, and her two guards, the tall and thick Su Cuihua and Su Hehua, learned their names at first At that time, Ripple's expression was a bit hard to describe, and the name really didn't match the person.

After leaving Qingshan County, Lianyi occasionally rode a horse for a while and was in a good mood. It was noon and people were tired and horses were scarce, so Lianyi asked everyone to find a place to rest and wait until the heat stopped before setting off.

An He immediately made a fire and prepared food. At this moment, he was bringing the hot medicine to Ripple to drink.

"My illness has been cured, why do I still need to take medicine?"

Ripple frowned and said.

"The doctor at Xinglintang said that the young lady has injured her body and worked too hard some time ago. She needs to take good care of herself. If you go to Zhuangzi, you must become a vegetarian. How can you take good care of your body without eating meat and fish? This is the health-preserving soup prescribed by the doctor. Just drink a bowl every other day.”

An He held the bowl and stubbornly told Ripple to drink.

Although An He is a book boy, she is only one year younger than Lianyi and usually talks very little, but she handles everything Lianyi asks very well, but she is quite stubborn.

Ripple had no choice but to take the soup and drink it in one gulp, then stuffed herself with a candied fruit, and then her expression unfolded.

The two guards had already eaten and drank enough of the broth and were stretching their bodies on the side. They thought their bodies were a little stiff after riding a horse all this time.

At this moment, a head popped up on the hillside, and the two of them immediately shouted alertly:

"Who is it? Come out!"

An He and Lao Sutou immediately stood in front of Lianyi. Lianyi herself was not very scared because she did not feel any malice in the person who appeared.

Wen Zhaoming carried his sister on his back and climbed up the slope with difficulty. He saw two burly women. He was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"You two eldest sisters, please don't misunderstand me. I am from Wenjia Village nearby. I brought my sister out to seek medical treatment."

At this time, Ripple also saw clearly the somewhat embarrassed man and the little girl on his back, and his eyes lit up.

Because the man carrying someone on his back was not a beauty according to the unified aesthetics of this dynasty. He was 1.78 meters tall. Although he was not fat, he had a lean figure, steady steps, and was not out of breath. You could tell at a glance that he was a member of the Lian family.

Moreover, the other party had sharp edges and corners, deep eye sockets, a high bridge of nose, and perfect lips. Ripple felt that the other party was very pleasing to her eyes, so she asked:

"Brother, what's wrong with your sister?"

Wen Zhaoming heard a pleasant female voice, looked over and saw a woman wearing a moon-white robe with a bright appearance. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He just glanced at it, then lowered his eyes and replied. :

"My sister got a cold, and her illness kept coming back and forth. Even the earth remedies didn't work. She had a fever every night. The barefoot doctor in the village asked me to send her to the county town to see a doctor. I was afraid of delaying my sister's illness, so I took a side road."

"Can you let me see your sister? I know a little bit about medical skills."

Lianyi said calmly.

Wen Zhaoming was stunned for a moment, and finally came to Lianyi with his sister on his back:

"Thank you for your help, young lady!"

"My surname is Su and my first name is Lianyi. Just call me Miss Su."

Ripple announced her home, then waved her hand for An He to help, and helped the sleeping girl off his back.

Lianyi felt the little girl's pulse, then looked into her eyes, and then said to An He:

"An He, I remember that there are pills for treating wind and cold in the car. Go get them, and get a packet of health soup."

"Yes, miss."

An He didn't say much, and immediately went to the carriage to rummage for something. After a while, he returned and handed a white porcelain bottle and a medicine bag to Ripple.

Ripple first poured out a black pill the size of a pinky finger from the porcelain bottle and handed it to the man opposite:

"This is a patent medicine for treating wind and cold. Let your sister take one pill first."

After Wen Zhaoming took the pill, he gently patted the little girl's cheek and called:

"Yueyue, wake up, take the medicine and then go to sleep."

After calling three times in a row, the little girl opened her eyes. After seeing her brother, she rubbed her eyes and said:

"Brother, I'm sleepy."

"Be good, take the medicine first and then go to sleep."

Wen Zhaoming stuffed the small pill into his sister's mouth, then took the water bag from Lianyi, thanked him politely, and fed it to his sister.

Wen Zhaoyue took the medicine and drank water. She felt a little more awake. Only then did she notice the ripples. She put her arms around her brother's neck timidly and asked:

"Is this beautiful sister a doctor?"

"This is Miss Su. The medicine you took was given by her. You have to thank her properly."

Wen Zhaoming patted his sister on the back and explained.

The girl then left her brother's arms, bowed respectfully to Ripple, and thanked her in a sweet voice:

"Thank you, Miss Su, for the gift of medicine."

"You're welcome. Since meeting each other is fate, why don't I give you a ride, just to see how effective the medicine is. If it doesn't work, I will send my servants to take you to the county hospital."

Ripple said with a smile.

"Is this too much trouble?"

Wen Zhaoming hesitated and wanted to refuse.

"It's no trouble, it's just a piece of cake. If your sister takes the medicine I gave you, I will be responsible to the end."

Wen Zhaoming hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to Lianyi's proposal.

At this time Shijiu suddenly appeared and asked:

"You have a crush on this man?"
