Chapter 257 Saved a person of unknown origin
When Yuan Xiufang saw that Ms. Liu still wanted to use her elders' attitude to suppress them, she and Wang Yue looked at each other and walked forward, bypassing Ms. Liu. How could Mrs. Liu let her go so easily? Seeing that they looked down upon her so much, she became even more angry and rushed forward to block their way.
"I am your grandma, if you dare to treat me like this, that is extremely unfilial!"
"Help, it's been robbed!" Yuan Xiufang suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, which immediately attracted the sideways glances of passers-by on both sides.
"Who dares to commit robbery in broad daylight? Where?"
A few people who looked like policemen were passing by not far away, and when they heard the shouts, they immediately ran towards this side.
"Grandma, if you don't want your uncle to have a criminal mother, I advise you to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you are taken to jail soon, your uncle will be embarrassed!" Yuan Xiufang said with a smile.
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale as she saw the official officer getting closer and closer, and she hurriedly pulled her daughter-in-law and walked away quickly.
"Where are the robbers?" the policeman came over and asked.
"I'm sorry, Brother Cha. They were asking for directions and suddenly came out to stop us. We thought they were robbers and were frightened so we shouted. I've caused you trouble, I'm sorry!" Wang Yue said hurriedly with a smile.
When the police officers saw that they were fine, they said nothing and told them to be careful and walked away.
Ms. Liu and her daughter-in-law hid aside, and they breathed a sigh of relief after watching the policeman leave. Seeing Wang Yue and the others leaving happily, Mrs. Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth, "These little girls have only been away from my hand for a few days, and they are all turning against me!"
In the past, no matter in the southwest or on the farm in the capital, as long as she was there, no matter whether it was the Su family, Wang Yue, or Yuan Xiufang, no one dared to ignore her. As long as she said something, no matter what it was, They didn't dare to disobey, and they never dared to keep even half a cent of their own money!
I didn't expect that they could become professional embroiderers after being away from me for only a month, with a monthly salary of three to five taels. If he were still the master of the family, all the money would be in his own hands, and his life with Honghao would not be as tight as it is now.
It seems that I have to find a way to continue to keep these girls in my hands.
"Mom, what are you thinking about? It's getting late and they have left. Shouldn't we go back to cook too!" Yuan Honghao's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, said.
Mrs. Lu is the distant niece of Mrs. Liu. Because Yuan Honghao was a scholar and she was a distant relative of the Liu family, when she lived with the rest of the Yuan family, either Su or Wang Yue would do the housework. A life of leisure and wealth without any sunshine. But judging from the cleaning of the yard today, her good days have come to an end. Without the servant, she and the other three little wives have to do everything in the house.
After being reminded by Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Liu quickly looked at the sky and then hurried back to Southeast Street. But her calculations against Wang Yue and Yuan Xiufang have not stopped, and she is still thinking about how to continue to manipulate them in the future.
Yuan Xiufang followed Wang Yue slowly towards the outside of the city. When she thought about the distance, her pretty face turned into a bitter look.
"Sister-in-law, we have to run around the city and outside the city every day. It's really tiring. Can we ask my parents to find my brother and let us live in their house?" she complained.
Wang Yue immediately rolled her eyes at her and said, "What are you talking about? It's easy for you to be your little brother. He is also living in someone else's house now. What is the idiom called "Send or Deliver"? It's not easy for him himself. How can we do everything? Trouble him!"
Yuan Xiufang pouted and muttered unhappily: "They can't live in such a big house anyway, so what's the point of letting us live in it!"
"It's someone else's yard that we can't live in, and it has nothing to do with us. No matter how we live, we have to live it by ourselves!" Wang Yue said, "I think that when the princess returned to the southwest, the tribe wouldn't even let her enter the village. , she didn’t have a piece of her body, but even in such hard days, she still relied on her own hard work to get through it. She suffered so much and suffered so many sins, and it was only through her own hard work that she had the family business she has today. She suffered so much We can live a good life and live in a shabby hut, so why should we think about getting something for nothing and live in her big house!"
"..." Yuan Xiufang was speechless by Wang Yue, and could only lower her head angrily and follow her out of the city.
"sister in law!"
came a familiar voice.
Wang Yue, Yuan Xiuyu and others followed the sound and saw that it was Yuan Mochen, who was walking towards them with Qingyun.
"Brother!" Yuan Xiuyu happily ran to Yuan Mochen, "Why are you here?"
"Just passing by." Yuan Mochen followed Qingyun and the housekeeper to many places in the city today, and finally selected an empty yard nearby as the printing workshop.
"Brother, have you finished the exam? My parents have been talking about it these past two nights. They want to see you and ask you how you did in the exam, but they dare not go for fear of disturbing you."
Yuan Mochen has been worried about the first day of the Yuan Dynasty for the past two days, thinking about how to open the printing workshop as soon as possible, but his parents have ignored it. He immediately asked Qingyun to go back and get a carriage, and asked Yuan Xiufang and the others to get into the car. He and Qingyun sat on the shaft of the carriage and headed towards the farm in the suburbs together.
When Yuan Hongsheng and Su Shi saw Yuan Mochen, they found that the child was becoming more mature and steady. When I learned that he did well in the exam, I immediately made a sumptuous dinner to reward him.
Yuan Mowen looked at Yuan Mochen, feeling more or less angry. He raised his glass and said angrily to Yuan Mochen: "I hope that when you gain power in the future, you won't be like my grandfather and uncle, who put their eyes above their heads and give up on their family members!" He felt sorry for these literati in his heart. Somewhat contemptuous.
Yuan Mochen smiled, "I was afraid that you would abandon me!" He thought that it was they who left him alone in the southwest, not him who abandoned them.
"We are a family. No matter whether it is good or bad in the future, we will stick together and no one can abandon anyone." Yuan Hongsheng said.
Su Shi also looked at Yuan Mochen and Yuan Mowen, and said earnestly: "You two are brothers. We must help each other in the future. No matter how hard it is, no one can abandon the other!"
After being cruelly abandoned by their father, they all finally realized how painful it was to be abandoned by someone close to them.
"Yes, parents' instructions, children, please remember!"
The brothers said in unison.
Yuan Mochen looked at his family, raised his wine glass, and clinked glasses with Yuan Mowen. The two brothers finally smiled and put aside their previous suspicions. Seeing the happy family, Mrs. Su's eyes suddenly became moist.
"Brother, do you still have your carving skills?" Yuan Mochen asked.
"Yes, I'm here, but I haven't used a carving knife for a long time, so I'm afraid I won't be able to carve well. What do you want to carve? I'll do my best to carve it for you."
Yuan Mowen didn't do well in school when he was young. He dropped out of school early and went home to work in farming. In his spare time, he liked to carve some small things for fun. Yuan Mochen learned his carving skills from him.
Yuan Mochen didn't hide it from him, and told him that Yuan Chu wanted him to open a printing workshop.
"Since I know how to engrave, why not go to the workshop to work!" Yuan Mochen said.
Yuan Mowen's face suddenly showed a look of joy, but the joy quickly disappeared, "I'm afraid the princess is not happy! She said that we can't take advantage of her."
Yuan Mochen smiled, "Sister, I'm not a petty person. You have skills, which I just need. I'm not looking for someone to work for. You go to work. As long as you do it well and don't use any evil thoughts, Sister won't do it." I am against it. Aren’t my sister-in-law and my younger sister also working in my sister’s embroidery workshop? They are doing a good job, but my sister didn’t say anything.”
Wang Yue and Yuan Xiufang both nodded in agreement. Yuan Mowen thought for a while and finally nodded with a smile. In this way, he could find a job that could support his family in this prosperous capital city.
"Mo Chen, is there anyone who needs strength in your workshop? Second brother, I have plenty of strength!" A cousin on the side said with a smile.
Yuan Mochen thought that there would be a lot of moving things in this workshop, so he immediately agreed to work with him in a few days. The cousin from the Yuan family also had a bright smile on his face.
Su Shi saw the family so united and helping each other, and the smile on her face became brighter. Yuan Hongsheng and several elders felt relieved to see them so united, and they all raised their glasses to Yuan Mochen.
"Sister-in-law, little sister, you walk back and forth between the city and outside the city every day. The roads are not safe. There are several rooms for people to live in in the workshop, and they are empty. You go to the workshop to clean up tomorrow, and then you can finish work in the evening. Live there!" Yuan Mochen said.
When Wang Yue, Yuan Xiufang and others heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was indeed unsafe and tiring for them to walk back and forth like this every day.
"That's great. In this way, we can stay in the embroidery workshop and finish work an hour later every day. In this way, the daily wages will be more." Wang Yue said happily, but she looked at Su apologetically. "It's just that, if this happens, I'm afraid my mother will have to do all the work at home."
"There isn't much work at home, so your dad and I can handle it. Besides, there are everyone here to help!" Su smiled.
The other sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law of the Yuan family also nodded, "You young people can work outside with peace of mind. You can do the work in the fields at home. With us, you can rest assured!"
Since they were abandoned by Yuan Wenyuan, thanks to Yuan Mochen's adoption, they have a stable life now. Now they are all united and helping each other. Each of their families would subcontract the one hundred acres of land to each household according to their own abilities, and the rent would be allocated by the mu. Each family would pay as much rent as they could when the acres were planted, and each of them would live their own lives. , no one complained.
The whole family ate, drank and chatted together. It was not until Xu Shi that Qingyun reminded him that if he didn't return to the city, the city gate would be closed. Yuan Mochen then said goodbye to his family and returned to the city.
The carriage was swaying under the moonlight. Yuan Mochen, who had drunk a lot of wine, made the carriage drowsy. Perhaps because he drank too much, he felt the need to urinate and asked the coachman to stop. He jumped out of the carriage, Seeing that it was pitch black and there were no pedestrians on the road, he just took care of it on the roadside. Suddenly, something seemed to grab his foot.
"Ah!" He screamed in fright and backed away, holding back his urine.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Qingyun rushed over.
Yuan Mochen pointed to the grass beside the road, and under the dim wind lamp, they saw a bloody hand stretching out from the grass.
"Help me..." came a breathy voice.
It turned out to be a human being.
Yuan Mochen patted his little heart, and bravely walked over with Qingyun to take a look. The coachman also rushed over with a wind lantern. The three of them saw a man in his thirties lying in the grass with injuries all over his body and a large pool of blood dripping from his body.
"Quickly, get in the car, go to the city, and find a medical center to treat his injuries!" Yuan Mochen said hurriedly. I don't care whether this person is a good person or a bad person. I'll wait until I save him.
The carriage entered the city quickly, and Yuan Mochen asked the carriage driver to find a medical center first. However, when I arrived at several medical clinics, they were all closed, and no one answered when I knocked on the door. It seemed that they were all taking a rest.
"What should we do?" Yuan Mochen frowned, "I don't know if sister is asleep!" He knew that Yuan Chuyi had medical skills, so he decided to take the person back to the Yuan family first, and then he went to find out On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, if she fell asleep, he would have other options.
On the first day of Yuan Chu, she was just reading stories to the children to coax them to sleep. She just returned to the room and was about to wash up. Yun Xuan came in a hurry, saying that Yuan Mochen was in a hurry, so she had to dress up and come out.
"Sister, I picked up an injured person on the road outside the city and came back, but the medical clinics were closed and I couldn't find a doctor..." Yuan Mochen said apologetically.
"Go get my medical kit." Ruyi, the maid who was always close to Yuan Chu, said, and then asked Yun Xuan to call Xuan Yue and the others, and the group immediately left the house and headed to the Yuan family.
In the guest room of the Yuan family, Wang Peng was wiping the blood on the face of the unconscious and weak-breathing person on the bed.
Although he had finished the exam, he, a foreigner, still continued to live in the Yuan Family Mansion with the dozen or so candidates from the southwest. These students know how to deal with the world very well. They are just living in the house, and they prepare the food themselves. Unless the Yuan family has a dinner party, they will eat with them. Otherwise, they will buy rice together in the guest house. Buy groceries and eat by yourself without disturbing the Yuan family. But if something happens to the Yuan family, they will also help.
"What happened to this gentleman? Why was he so seriously injured!" Wang Peng sighed.
"Who knows, I picked it up halfway." Qingyun said.
"You and Brother Yuan are so brave, you are not afraid that he is a bad person!"
"I saved you, why are you talking about this?"
Uncle De also said on the side, "Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Now that I have brought it back, let's do our best."
Several people were chatting, Yuan Mochen came back with Yuan Chuyi. Yuan Chuyi stepped forward and took the man's pulse, "They are all injuries from swords. They should be able to be saved!"
After she finished speaking, she began to clean more than 20 wounds of varying depths on the injured person's body, apply medicine, and suture them with skillful and smooth movements. It was the first time that Xuan Yue and the others saw Yuan Chu Yi rescuing someone like this, and they were all stunned. Her method of treating trauma was no worse than Fang Wuyan's, and her technique of suturing wounds was even better than his.
"Sister, could he be a wanted criminal?" Yuan Mochen asked worriedly.
When Yuanchu looked at him, he laughed, "You have already rescued everyone. Isn't it too late to worry about it now?"
Yuan Mochen sighed regretfully.
"If you are really worried, report it to the Yamen tomorrow morning and ask them to come and take a look." Yuanchu said while cleaning the blood on his hands.
"I'm going to go now, so as not to have a long night of dreams."
Yuan Mochen said and took Qingfeng to the Yamen. Fortunately, there was still someone on duty at the Yamen. After hearing what he said, two officials came immediately. Seeing that it was not a wanted criminal, they ignored him and left. Yuan Mochen felt relieved and let Yuan Chuyi go back to rest in peace. He asked Uncle De to send someone to take care of the injured person.
