Chapter 443 Brother, are you sure you want to coax people?
Doctor Du was so angry that he almost lost his breath: "Well, you bought earrings for Ruo'er, a sword tassel for the prince, a brush for Jin, and a hair ornament for Bubu. You were willing to spend twenty taels of silver, but you feel bad about this five taels of silver from me..."
"I knew you were kidnapped, so I came here using my Qinggong skills. I wanted to go with the prince and the others to rescue you. After the prince and Ruo'er left, I was so anxious that I was afraid you would come back with missing arms and legs. I even prepared my medicine box and the elixir that can revive the dead."
"But you're so good...Okay, okay, just think of it as me loving you for nothing all these years!"
Seeing that his master was really angry this time, Jin Congcong lowered his head to think for a while, then sat on the ground with a painful look on his face, took off one of his shoes, and poured out copper coins from inside.
"Well...I was wrong, okay? Next time I have money to spend, I will definitely buy you a gift and spend the most on you."
"Here are the ten copper coins I have left today and the five I saved up before, a total of fifteen. Why don't I give them all to you? Buy whatever you like and consider it a gift from me."
Doctor Du looked at the copper coins that poured out of his shoes and waved his hands in disdain: "I don't want it. I have the backbone to not want your little stuff, humph!"
Seeing their master leave angrily, someone tugged at Bu Ruo's sleeve and said, "Ruo'er, what should we do? That old man seems to be really angry this time."
"I really didn't mean to. I really did go to show him the medicine furnace. Even though it only cost five taels, I had to buy a lot of other things along with it to make up for the five taels. I calculated that the total would be one hundred and eighty taels, and I don't have that much money."
"The medicine furnace alone cost over seventy taels... so I didn't buy it and thought of buying him something else."
"Then I kept spending... and before I knew it, it was all gone. I felt really guilty, so I thought about going south to the city to buy him a little candy figurine, and then..."
"Ruo'er...why don't you give me some more? I'll go buy something to appease the old man. Otherwise, I'm really afraid he'll get mad to death."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "It's gone. You can only spend a hundred taels because of the dragon vein. If I give you more, I'm afraid your life will be in danger. It's better to wait a little longer."
Seeing Bu Ruo and Xiao Yulan also leave, Jin Congcong had a sad face: "Wait a little longer...how long do I have to wait? With that old man's temper, can I live to see the day when I can spend money again?"
"Two months, Senior Brother~"
"Wha…what?"
The little girl blinked her sparkling eyes and looked at him, holding up two fingers: "In two months, Senior Brother will be able to spend money, and then Mother will naturally give it to you."
"Okay, Bubu and brother are going back to sleep. Thank you for the hair flower, brother. I'll ask Aunt Bi'er to put it on Bubu tomorrow."
The next day, Doctor Du saw the hair ornament on the little girl's head and praised it. But when he met someone, he turned around and went back to his room as if he hadn't seen her, slamming the door.
"Bu Bu, how do you think we can coax that stingy old man into doing what we want?"
"How about... Senior Brother cook him a meal?"
The little girl opened her mouth and said, "Cooking? Brother, are you sure you want to comfort people and not kill them?"
Jin Congcong kept grabbing his hair: "What should I do? That old man hasn't even looked at me since he got up this morning, as if I don't exist. If I don't coax him... I'm afraid he'll get angrier and angrier and end up poisoning me."
The little girl raised her script and wanted to pat someone's shoulder to comfort him, but she was too short to reach him and could only pat his belly: "Um... Senior Brother, Bu Bu still has to go to the palace with her mother to find Aunt Queen, you can comfort yourself slowly."
"Bu Bu thinks that if Senior Brother doesn't have money, he can make some handicrafts and give them to Grandpa. In fact, Grandpa is not angry that Senior Brother didn't spend money on him, but that Senior Brother doesn't have him as a master in his heart."
So in the next few days...
"Jin Congcong, you actually gave me a standing wooden pig?!"
"No... no, how could this be a wooden pig? This is you, Master. I carved it in your likeness myself and gave it to you as an apology."
Doctor Du held the wooden pig and muttered about the sins he had committed all day...
…
"Master, come quickly. This is the small stool I made for you. I noticed that the stool you've been using to make medicine has become a little unstable, so I went to find a craftsman and learned how to make you a new one. Come and sit on it and see if it's comfortable."
Doctor Du walked over with a smile on his face, stroking his beard...
Bang……
"Ouch... Jin Congcong, you want to throw me to death? Do you hate me so much? I am your master after all, and you are so impatient for me to die so that you can inherit my treasure?!"
Jin Congcong looked at the old man lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out and quickly helped him up: "No, no, I really didn't mean that. I really just wanted to make you a new stool, not to harm you from inheriting your treasure."
Doctor Du stood up and pointed at the broken stool on the ground: "You didn't try it after you were done?"
"No...no, I thought you had to come in person for the first time, so I...I didn't try it."
"But I really didn't expect it to fall apart. It looked pretty solid when I was making it."
"Master, please don't be angry. Let me think about what I can do. I'll do it again. Please give me another chance. Please don't poison me to death. If I die in your hands, my parents and Ruo'er will definitely not avenge me."
Doctor Du held his waist and looked at the person who seemed to be running away, confused: "Who said he wanted to poison him to death..."
A few days later...
"Master, Master, look, this is a hairpin I carved for you myself. It's made of jade that I borrowed from the prince. Come, come, sit down quickly. I'll take off the broken wooden one on your head and put this on you."
"Look, I carved this for you with great care. I carved it myself. Here..."
"Ah...Jin Congcong, you stabbed me to death, you stabbed me to death...I'm...I'm bleeding!"
Doctor Du covered his head and felt dizzy, not knowing whether it was because of the prick or because of anger.
"Um...um...my bad, my bad. I was so anxious to get it for you that I forgot the end was pointed."
"I'll just..."
Doctor Du poured powder on his head while trying to stop him: "No, don't try anything else. A few days ago, you almost killed me by falling on a stool, and today you almost stabbed me to death with a broken bird hairpin. If you try anything else, I'll die in Beining."
"Master, you misunderstood. I really didn't want to kill you. And... this isn't a bird hairpin, it's a crane. I carved it. I hope you live a long life. Please don't be angry with me. Just forgive me."
