Chapter 671 The Foot-Washing Girl Wants to Get Promoted (14)
"When did you become so close to the foot-washing girl?" Zong Ying looked at him hesitantly.
Wu'er raised his hand and scratched the top of his head, and said embarrassedly, "We are both servants, so of course I have to pay more attention to it."
Zong Ying's eyes were deep for a moment, and he looked around and said, "Have you investigated the account book?"
Speaking of this, Wu'er's expression became serious, "All the previous employees in the store have been replaced, and then they disappeared. I privately asked many people where they went, but I don't know where they went. These new employees seem to be very honest. As long as you ask them about things related to the accounts, they will avoid talking about it. There is definitely something fishy about this matter."
Zong Ying nodded, knowing it.
Wu'er wanted to say something, but seeing that he looked thoughtful, he swallowed it back.
Two weeks can be said to be fast, but it can also be said to be slow.
For the servants of the Zong Mansion, the eldest lady's measles was finally cured, and they no longer had to approach the East Courtyard in fear.
Ma Jingyang came out of the room and was still unbelievable when he saw Zong Ying. This was the first measles patient he had ever seen who had no black scars or marks left. No, two. The nanny didn't leave any at all.
After he told Zong Ying about his "unbelievable" story, Zong Ying laughed and said, "This must be the credit of my foot-washing girl."
"Foot-washing girl?"
"Yes, the little girl who served the eldest lady, that's it."
Ma Jingyang thought of the little girl who was less than sixteen years old and had a little baby fat on her face, and suddenly he didn't know what to say. People, probably have their fate determined at birth. Wealth and poverty are chosen when they are in the womb.
"This time, the Zong Mansion was able to escape the measles disaster, and Master Zong should reward that girl well. It's all thanks to her broad knowledge and courage. Otherwise, the Zong Mansion..." Ma Jingyang didn't say anything else, but Zong Ying understood what he meant.
In fact, Ma Jingyang was also being modest. If it weren't for the prescription he prescribed, how could the eldest lady of the Zong Mansion escape from death? Zong Ying knew that he was not a person who valued money and fame, so he gave him something.
"What is this?" Ma Jingyang looked at the brocade bag in his hand, hesitating whether to take it.
"It's not a precious thing, but it is my Zong family's gratitude to you. Doctor Ma's kindness will be remembered by my Zong family." Zong Ying stuffed the brocade bag directly into his palm.
Ma Jingyang opened it in front of him and found that it was a key. Then he touched the bottom of the brocade bag and found a note with an address written on it - No. 89 Wangchun Road.
"What is this?"
Zong Ying raised his hand and bowed, "This is a thank-you gift specially prepared for you by the Zong family. Zong Ying knows that Doctor Ma is a kind-hearted doctor and is unwilling to charge the poor for consultation fees, so there is no suitable residence until now. You don't look down on the money given by the Zong family, so please accept this residence. This is also the place where your ancestors once lived."
Ma Jingyang's eyes trembled when he heard the word "ancestors". He clenched his fist, and finally loosened it, saying with some awkwardness, "Thank you, Master Zong. I, Ma, like the thank-you gift you prepared very much."
"The house deed and the land deed have been given to your young man. He, today, accompanied Wu'er to clean up." Zong Ying gave him a real reassurance.
This was the second time that Ma Jingyang looked at Zong Ying in the eye, and found that although he was secular, he was so enthusiastic.
"Thank you." He bowed in return.
"The affairs of the ancestors are the past. People should look forward. I hope that Doctor Ma and I, Zong, can become close friends in the future. I, Zong, will be very fortunate to have a friend like you." Zong Ying bowed again.
Ma Jingyang did not respond to him.
He must not forget the admonitions passed down by his ancestors. If he forgot it, it would be a disgrace to his ancestors and the suffering and torture that the predecessors had suffered.
Zong Ying did not care about this.
From the bottom of his heart, he was indeed willing to make friends with Ma Jingyang. But from the perspective of interests, it was not important at all whether he and Ma Jingyang could become friends. If he could successfully make friends with Ma Jingyang, it would be the icing on the cake; if he couldn't, it would not be a loss for him. Most importantly, he couldn't be a hypocrite and force Ma Jingyang to be superficial friends with him.
"Ma has a patient to see, so I'll leave first." Ma Jingyang, who had never faced such enthusiasm, was the first to retreat.
Zong Ying looked at his thin back as he left, and thought of the several large ginsengs in the warehouse, so he was ready to find an opportunity to bring them to him to replenish his body. Anyway, for his clan, these ginseng and deer antlers were cheap things that could be bought with money.
Yuanyuan knew that she would leave the East Courtyard and return to her own Xia Garden after she recovered from her illness, and she was very reluctant to leave Shiyi.
She had developed a deep relationship with Shiyi during the two weeks she stayed in Shiyi's room. This was also the result of Shiyi's exchange of hearts.
She would never forget that every night she stayed here, it was Shiyi who stayed up late to accompany her. There was no mark left on her body, all thanks to Shiyi. Shiyi really paid too much for her. From the loose clothes that Shi Yi was wearing, it can be seen how hard Shi Yi had worked these days.
She had few friends since she was a child, and she really regarded Shi Yi as a good friend to whom she could tell the truth. Although, she had never told Shi Yi the truth once.
"Put on the new clothes sent by the second wife and go back to Xia Garden. Be good in the future and your life will be sweet." Shi Yi handed her the clothes, and seeing the unhappiness on her face, he made a face to make her laugh.
"I want you to be with me, are you willing?" Yuanyuan took her hand and asked this question that she dared to ask only after making up her mind.
After all, she was not sure that Shi Yi would be willing to follow an unpopular young lady.
Shi Yi was stunned at first, and then smiled in surprise, "I couldn't ask for more."
It seems that her efforts these days have been rewarded. The young lady who didn't even look at her when she came actually took the initiative to ask her to be with her.
"Then it's settled. I'll go find daddy later and ask him to give you to me. Don't worry, when you come to me, I won't treat you as a maid, you are my sister. I treat you as my own sister, and I will never leave you out if I have any food... In short, we share the happiness together." Yuanyuan took her hand and spun around in circles, as if she had already gotten the permission of her father Zong Ying.
When I thought about the hard life I might have after Sui'er returned, I felt that going to Xiayuan to take care of Yuanyuan was actually a good idea, and I suddenly had a little expectation for it.
