Chapter 101 Have self-knowledge
The next morning.
Qin Li went to the pharmacy to do work and heard several doctors in the pharmacy discussing some things about her family.
She pretended not to hear and continued to sort out the medicinal materials.
When Hu Yao came to deliver the medicinal materials to Qin Li, he asked softly: "Sister Lier, I heard that Master Qin scolded Mr. Fu yesterday and gave Mr. Fu twenty taels of silver so that Mr. Fu could take it to get the New Year's goods?"
When Qin Li heard this, she was stunned, "Ah?"
She didn't know about this at all.
"Who did you hear?" Qin Li asked.
"I went to the pleasure boat to find out the news last night. I heard Mr. Fu tell me what he said to me." When talking about this, Hu Yao, as a man, felt embarrassed for Fu Yu.
Fu Yu took a concubine and went to the people in the Qin Mansion to ask for money to support him.
I really don’t understand. Fu Yu has no money, so why should he take a concubine?
Qin Li held back the anger in her heart and asked in a very soft voice: "What did he say? Also, he said so to Mr. Zhai on the pleasure boat, right?"
If I go to tell Miss Yan, it may be a bit difficult to talk about.
Hu Yao whispered, "Yes, Mr. Fu said that this is what Mr. Zhai said. He was unemployed at home and had no official job. He had been an idle person for several months. But you passed the assessment and became a female doctor, working in a pharmacy, and received a lot of silver."
"He was originally caused by you, and he had no food and clothing, but you forced him to take Mo Zhu as his concubine, which increased the burden on their family. If he didn't ask you for food, who else could he ask?"
Qin Li smiled sarcastically and said, "He has no official position and can't blame anyone. Who makes him misconduct? A person with poor character, let alone becoming an official, even if he goes to a restaurant to be a waiter, no one will dare to ask him to go."
Hu Yao smiled secretly, "Mr. Fu has read some books of sages, can write poems and paint. As long as he has a good relationship with Miss Yan, he can help him sell paintings, sell couplets, etc., he can always earn money."
Working as a waiter in a restaurant, I worked hard for a month and earned less than ten taels of silver.
"Young Master Fu would do that kind of hard work, it would be better to live with Miss Yan."
Qin Li glanced at Hu Yao and said, "How can he, a big man, live on Miss Yan? You said that being a waiter in a restaurant is hard, how can those men who are only fifteen or sixteen years old endure hardships? They are younger than him, and they can endure hardships and know how to make money by themselves. Why can't he?"
"Well, he is also the eldest son of a county magistrate, how can he be a waiter in a restaurant?" Hu Yao said.
Qin Li didn't think that the eldest son of the county magistrate could not be a waiter in the restaurant. The waiter worked hard and earned money to support himself. It was much better than Fu Yu and Miss Yan to go to have a soft meal with Miss Yan.
She asked Hu Yao:
"He doesn't want to earn silver and take it home. Do you expect silver and fly into his wallet?"
When Hu Yao heard this, he shook his head.
After lunch.
Qin Li heard someone talking about her family again:
"Master Qin is kind and generous, and he is Mr. Fu's master. It is reasonable to give Mr. Fu Yu Yin. But Mr. Fu is always so idle at home, which is not a big deal. Mr. Qin helps him once or twice. But Mr. Qin can't help Mr. Fu all the time, right?"
An old doctor heard this and curled his lips and said:
"If I were Master Qin, I would not only not give the money to the young master, but also scold him. Even if a big man is not an official, he will not be unable to support his family. As long as he is not lazy and lives in our Jiayu City, he will not have to worry about not being able to earn money or maintain his family."
After hearing this, Doctor Hu put down his teacup and said:
"That is, after harvesting crops, some villagers from the Puodiao Village came to rent shops and sell food near the port, and could earn silver. Mr. Fu lives in the city, and as long as he endured the same hardship as others, he would not be unable to survive."
As soon as the words fell, the doctors said nothing.
Qin Li said to Doctor Hu in private:
"Uncle Hu, I suspect that Fu Yu deliberately said outside that my father gave him a lot of silver. In fact, you know my father. Although he has done a lot of good things and helped many people, he really doesn't need to help someone like Fu Yu who is idle and has misbehaving."
She didn't believe what she meant, and her father would go to get New Year's goods for Yinliangfu Yu.
Doctor Hu nodded, "I don't believe it either, I will do that."
Master Qin was knowledgeable and noble. He was highly respected in the Jiayu Mansion area. How could a gentleman like him give Yin Liang a disciple who was not enterprising to get New Year's goods?
What's more, Fu Yu had an engagement with Qin Li. After quitting the marriage, Master Qin, a wise man, of course, knew that he should avoid suspicion.
Then there is Fu's mansion. Although Fu Yu has no job, Fu's magistrate can still receive a salary, so he will not have no money to buy rice and cook.
Doctor Hu reached out and stroked his beard and said, "Li'er, it's a blessing to have you retired from your marriage with Mr. Fu. I have wasted decades of time and have seen many people. But I really have seen a few scoundrels like Mr. Fu."
When Qin Li heard this, she couldn't help but laugh.
She has been a human being for two lives and has seen many shameless people. But before she met Fu Yu, the shameless people she had seen were less than one-tenth of that of Fu Yu!
I really don’t know how there is a rogue like Fu Yu in this wealthy Jiayu place?
It’s not that I can’t earn money, but I always look for various reasons to come out to borrow money from others. The Fu family is not as poor as it can’t afford Mo Zhu’s meal.
To marry Mo Zhu home means to marry her to their family and be a maid.
The cook who worked in Fu's house and the maid who served tea and water were driven away by Fu Yu. He said that Mo Zhu was a maid who served others when he was in the Qin house. When he arrived at his house, he continued to serve him and his family.
When Mo Zhu and Qin Li mentioned this, they burst into tears.
"Miss, you know too. I used to be a maid in your house, just cleaning the house and making tea for the guests. How could I go to the kitchen and cook for you? But as soon as I got married to the Fu family, my officials treated me as a maid..."
Qin Li really wanted to say to Mo Zhu that this was all your own question.
When I was working in her house, I thought it was a pupil to be a maid. After Mo Zhu got married to the Fu family, I realized that being a maid was actually quite good at being a maid in her house.
Now that I understand, what's the use?
Half an hour later.
Fu Yu and Zhai Wenche came to Huji Pharmacy, took the prescriptions prescribed by others, went to the counter, and asked Qin Li to get the medicine for them.
Qin Li took the prescription and started to catch the medicine without looking at Fu Yu and Zhai Wenche. Fu Yu's question came from his ears:
"Junior Sister Qin, my senior brother Zhai said, "My Master gave me some silver and asked me to go to get New Year's goods. It proves that my master still regarded me as my future son-in-law. I thought about it and thought it was reasonable. Then I muster up the courage to come and see you. Of course, if we come to help others get medicine, you can earn some silver, right?"
After hearing this, Qin Li wanted to pick up the bag of medicine and hit Fu Yu directly on the face. However, not only Fu Yu and Zhai Wenche were the only people standing in front of the counter, but also other customers.
She didn't want people to laugh at her, nor did she want others to mistakenly think that she was a shrew.
