Chapter 75 Life is like a play, it all depends on acting

"What's up?"

Zou didn't even raise her head, she was just busy checking the accounts.

Anyway, it shouldn't be a big deal.

How could Su Jin not see it, but she believed that after she opened her mouth, the old lady would definitely not be so calm.

You must be very anxious, right?

But that has nothing to do with me. She came here just because she doesn't want to cause trouble for me in the future.

As she thought about it, she started to tell the story that happened in the shop.

"What?" Zou suddenly raised her head: "You said General Liu's people broke into the shop to cause trouble?"

Who is General Liu? He is Gu Zhao's political enemy. When the late emperor was still alive, Liu Cong, who was still a newcomer, was suppressed by Gu Zhao and could not even raise his head. Now there is a new emperor and a group of newcomers have been appointed, and Liu Cong is among them. Concubine Hui is Liu Cong's sister. The Liu family also took advantage of the situation to rise rapidly, and Liu Cong even became a general. He often sang against Gu Zhao in the court.

"Are you sure about this? The other party is General Liu, so don't let anything go wrong."

"Mother, I sent someone to follow them. The two of them did enter Liu's shop, which is owned by the general's wife."

Zou was even more angry: "What's wrong with this person? Why did he bring the court affairs to private?"

Zou was in a bad mood. Su Jin said calmly, "Mother, the most important thing now is to check if there is anything wrong with the shop to avoid any trouble."

"Yes, you are right. It is you, my lady, who is worthy of being from a prominent family in Hexi."

While praising, Zou hurriedly asked Madam Wen to check. But before Madam Wen left the room, a maid came in and said, "Madam, the person in charge of the shop said that someone knocked over the shelves in the warehouse, and the soaps were scattered all over the floor, making it dirty. They also said that many workers wanted to quit and didn't want to be paid."

"What!"

Zou stood up suddenly, secretly shocked. Sure enough, something happened!

How come I didn't notice that there was something wrong with the people in the shop? If Su Jin hadn't come to report it, I would still be kept in the dark!

"How could this be!"

Zou was very anxious, and Mother Wen said, "Why don't we go over and take a look?"

Zou was also anxious to go over and see what was going on, but she was old and didn't really want to take care of these trivial matters. Wasn't Su Jin still here? And the eldest lady was very good at managing the shop. Didn't she handle the restaurant matter very well and neatly before?

The old lady subconsciously looked at her daughter-in-law. Su Jin was apparently fine just now, but now she suddenly covered her chest and coughed violently. When she looked up again, her face flushed a little.

Su Jin took a few deep breaths, staggered to his feet, and said, "Mother, I'm with you... cough cough cough..."

Su Jin covered his mouth tightly with a handkerchief. He was coughing so hard that his lungs were about to burst. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat. When he took off the handkerchief, he saw a little dark red on it, which was shocking.

Su Jin seemed startled and quickly hid the handkerchief, but all this had already been seen by Zou, and the old lady suddenly became anxious.

"Don't go!"

The old lady made the decision immediately: "Yuchuan, take your master back to rest, and also ask Imperial Physician Zhang to come and see if he has been overworked recently and is tired. Mother Wen, let's go!"

"Mother, mother..."

Su Jin struggled and wanted to go, but Zou held her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, I can still deal with these bastards. You should have a good rest. Yuchuan, why don't you take your master away!"

"Yes, old lady!"

Yuchuan quickly supported Su Jin and walked away.

It was not until he returned to Liuting Pavilion that Su Jin lay down on the small couch, stretching his body slightly. He no longer looked sick at all, and was in perfect condition.

"Phew, luckily I managed to fool him!"

Are you kidding? Why should I do the old lady’s work myself?

When I was a social animal, I cleaned up my boss’s ass, and now I have to clean up my mother-in-law’s ass? ?

Impossible, you have to do your own things. She has solved her own problems. As for your mother-in-law's problems, since you can eat, drink, run and jump, you can handle them yourself!

Su Jin wiped the sweat off her face and waved, "Quick, bring me some tea. I just used a handkerchief to cover my mouth and scratch my throat, and I almost wasted the snack I just ate!"

Jinchuan covered her mouth and laughed, while Yuchuan served tea and complained: "It's just a token of my appreciation. Madam, you're working too hard. If you hurt your throat with coughing, I'll be so sad!"

Su Jin took a big sip of tea and shook his head: "This is called life is like a play, it all depends on acting!"

"The lady is becoming more and more knowledgeable in her speech!"

"Yes, yes, our lady has always been excellent!"

The two maids flattered the master in different ways. It can only be said that everyone likes flattery, and Su Jin is no exception.

Soon, Imperial Physician Zhang came over.

In the past, when I asked others to buy medicine from the shops I mentioned, very few people could actually do it. Moreover, Imperial Physician Zhang only saw prominent kings, princes, generals and ministers whose status was higher than his own, so who would care about what he said?

But Su Jin was different. This lady really went to the shop he recommended to get medicine, and she spoke as soon as she entered the door, saying that she was introduced by Imperial Physician Zhang. After hearing this, the shop knew everything, so they were very attentive whether it was getting or dispensing the medicine, and even gave Su Jin a discount.

To put it bluntly, it is something that is mutually beneficial to both sellers and buyers, so naturally both parties are willing to do it.

Going here to get medicine was just a small matter for Su Jin, but a big deal for Imperial Physician Zhang. At least it proved that the eldest lady of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion was the only one who looked up to him and was willing to listen to him.

This is not easy.

Imperial Physician Zhang now had a very good impression of Su Jin. He bowed when he entered the room, and then carefully took Su Jin's pulse.

At the end, Imperial Physician Zhang's brows were twisted into a knot, and he looked at Su Jin's face tentatively.

His face is rosy, his eyes are bright, and his breathing is steady. This doesn't look like anything bad at all.

Imperial Doctor Zhang was very confused, but Su Jin coughed twice and said, "Imperial Doctor Zhang, am I not feeling well?"

“…”

It won't be a problem for you to live to be eighty.

"Ahem, recently, my head hurts, my eye sockets hurt, my neck hurts, my waist and legs hurt, everything feels bad, what can I do?"

Imperial Physician Zhang: …

The corners of his mouth twitched violently, and his beard trembled.

The lady was obviously acting, but he couldn't expose her because he inexplicably had a feeling of mutual sympathy with her.

Who made the lady the only one who cared about me and went to that shop to get medicine?

"Then I'll prescribe a new prescription for you, Madam. Remember to rest more, get angry less, and don't work if you can."

Su Jin nodded desperately, Imperial Physician Zhang, you’re a good man!

"Let's go to that shop..."

"I know, I still get the medicine from that shop!"

Imperial Physician Zhang smiled, and whispered before leaving: "Madam, if you have any problems in the future, just tell me, and I will do my best."
