Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 240 The Crux
"Hehe, is what Qiu'er said true? Mother thought Qiu'er was angry with her again." Yuan's eyes were full of tenderness, even though she was looking at the back of Chunqiu's head.

Hearing her mother's words, Chunqiu sat up from the bed with a "squeak" sound, looked at her mother Yuan Shi with bright eyes, "Mother, is the ointment that happened in Meiyan Pavilion the batch that was sold to the Li family before?" Chunqiu It's not like I didn't think about it during the time when I went back to the room. I kept thinking about her mother's calm and calm appearance in my mind. Chunqiu boldly guessed that her mother must have known about it a long time ago.

"That's right, and the faces of the maids who used the ointment in Li's family are without exception, and there is no good place on their faces." Yuan Shi nodded, and then said, "I asked them a few simple questions, and from their facial expressions Look, although she is always concerned about her own face, she is not as anxious as she shows, as if... she is doing it for her mother." The reason why Yuan Shi decided that this matter was a conspiracy was because he could see it through various aspects. Yes, they are all at the same age as fifteen or sixteen years old. Is there any girl who does not love beauty? Zhang's actions made Yuan Shi more convinced that Mrs. Li's family must have messed up this matter, so the purpose is self-evident. Yuan Shi had received a letter from Mrs. Li's family who wanted to cooperate together before. .

"...So that's the case, mother, it seems that they came prepared." Chunqiu said with emotion. Is the business handed over to others?" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he stared nervously at her mother's face, with a serious expression.

What Chunqiu didn't say was that their family had no power, even if they didn't want to let go, but if they were forced to a certain point, their family... Chunqiu didn't dare to think about it, she was worried that they wouldn't let it go.

Yuan's side face flickered under the light, and her tightly pursed lips seemed to condense the aura around her.

After a long time, Yuan Shi finally spoke, "Of course not, the business of Meiyan Pavilion is so booming, it is inevitable that others will be jealous, but" Yuan Shi said here, looking down at Chunqiu, revealing an unprecedented firmness in his eyes , "If there is one, there are two. Since they have the intention, then we will face difficulties whether we retreat or not. Instead of worrying about their greed, we should take good care of it. It is not a last resort, Qiuer, we cannot admit defeat..." Yuan Shi Tong Chunqiu Said a lot.

This is the first time that Yuan Shi has such an equal dialogue with Chunqiu. Between the words, he does not treat Chunqiu as a child. Chunqiu didn't hide anything, and blurted out everything.

For the first time, Chunqiu looked at her mother's eyes changed. She never knew that her mother's heart was broken, and she had prepared so much for their family in silence. The shock coming from her heart made Chunqiu Unable to calm down for a long time, looking at her mother's quiet and gentle side face, Chunqiu felt the corners of his eyes moist, lowered his head and secretly wiped away two tears, Chunqiu remained silent.

Saying everything in her heart, Yuan Shi felt more relaxed than ever, and patted Chunqiu's head with a smile, Yuan Shi comforted softly, "Qiu'er, don't worry, when Mother came back today, she had already visited Divine Doctor Zhou, When Mrs. Li comes tomorrow, she will ask Divine Doctor Zhou to help, after all, a girl's face is the most important thing, and it can't be ruined for nothing because of our dispute."

Chunqiu looked up at her mother, with red eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, did you agree to any conditions with Doctor Zhou?" If you didn't agree to any conditions, how could Doctor Zhou, who hadn't seen a doctor for two years, agree to her mother? ?
Chunqiu definitely wouldn't believe that Divine Physician Zhou would covet their Beauty Pavilion. You must know that the prescription in Chunqiu's hand was sponsored by Zhou Huaiyan. The ancestors of the Zhou family refused, this time... Chunqiu was curious about the conditions for her mother to persuade the genius doctor Zhou.

Yuan Shi smiled, looked at her daughter and patiently explained, "Mother just promised to use half of the profits of the Beauty Pavilion for those untreated patients. Don't forget, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and there is absolutely no reason for Meiyan Pavilion to retreat. At that time, half of the profits of Meiyan Pavilion will be a lot of money. In the hands of others, my mother will be very happy." This condition was put forward by Yuan Shi on his own initiative. Before meeting the world-renowned Miracle Doctor Zhou, besides, the prescription was also provided by him. Now it is considered to be returned to the original owner. If she came forward, she would be able to solve the current problems of Meiyan Pavilion and find a good backer for their family. Yuan Shi is very shrewd. There is no reason why she can kill two birds with one stone without paying a price. She feels that half of the profit is worth it.

After listening to her mother's explanation, Chunqiu gradually calmed down, thinking about her mother's words carefully, Chunqiu unexpectedly found that the path her mother chose was actually the most powerful path for their family, no matter whether it was the people who were watching in the future or the one in front of them. In the crisis, Dr. Zhou is a good deterrent.

Don't underestimate the Zhou family. The Zhou family has practiced medicine for generations, and they don't know how many life-saving prescriptions they hold in their hands. Besides, although the Zhou family has no power in the officialdom, because of the previous grace of saving the first, no one can see it. Will give a three-point thin noodles.

What's more, when anyone is not sick, it can be said that those rich and noble families in Linfang County are eager to go to Zhou's house every day to seek medical treatment for their own safety.

The most important point is that the newly appointed Fu Cheng in Linfang County is a close friend of Master Zhou, and Fang Fu Cheng is a clean and honest official. Those who occupy the land, I believe they will take care of it.

"...Mom, I will give you the prescription tomorrow, and when the time comes, you can show it to the genius doctor Zhou, and the genius doctor will know it at a glance."

"Well, well, it's getting late, hurry up and go to bed, the miracle doctor will come out tomorrow, and the matter of the Beauty Pavilion will be solved easily." After Yuan Shi finished speaking, she casually patted Chunqiu's quilt under her armpits, and got up to prepare back to the house.

Chunqiu smiled sweetly, "Mother, I know"

"Well, go to bed early." Yuan Shi smiled, turned and went out.

The room returned to its original silence. Chunqiu stared blankly at the oil lamp that was still burning on the table. The wick of the oil lamp was flickering. Although there was wind in the room, it kept blowing the flame of the wick...
