Chapter 34
Ling Jingshu looked at Master Ling Fifth with a filial and sincere gaze: ”Father has many social engagements on weekdays and spends a lot of money, and our fifth house has some household personal belongings, but most of them are with mother as well
Father doesn’t have much silver around
Therefore, father doesn’t have to specially raise silver for Ah Xiao’s treatment”
Ling Fifth Master: “” Even if Master Ling Fifth was as thick-skinned as he was, he felt heat behind his ears
As a father, at a time like this, he couldn’t admit that he hadn’t raised any silver for the cure at all, no matter what
Under his daughter’s respectful and trusting gaze, he was even more embarrassed to just nod his head
Ling Fifth Master cleared his throat and said: ”Ah Xiao has been blind for many years, if he can really be cured and recovered as normal, it is worth spending even more
Your grandmother gave the silver you put away, I also have some silver cheques here, the number is not large, is also my father’s heart
You take it with you for defense!”
Said, took an extremely thick book from the bookshelf
Opening the book, there was a stack of silver certificates inside
Just like Old Madam Ling’s, they were all silver checks from the Longsheng number, five hundred taels of silver each
Obviously, this was all privately given to Master Ling Fifth by Old Mrs Ling
Ling old lady’s own children have three, Ling grand master is always in the capital, Ling’s married far away from the side, only the young son Ling fifth master to enjoy the knee
The only thing that I’ve been able to do is to get my hands on my own son, and I’ve been able to get my hands on him for a long time
The first time I saw this, I didn’t know how much money I had to spend on my own, but I did not know how much money I had to spend on my own, so I was able to get a lot of money out of it
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on some of the most popular products and services in the world, and you’ll be able to do that
Ling fifth master took two silver tickets, said in a generous tone: “This is five hundred taels a silver ticket, two is one thousand taels, is the Longsheng number of silver tickets, the national ticket company can be converted
When you arrive in Luoyang, you can also exchange them at any time
You quickly put it away”
Look at that expression of being cut off!
Ling Jingshu laughed coldly in her heart and accepted the silver ticket with a touched and grateful look, “Father treats A Xiao so generously, I thank father on behalf of A Xiao”
Intentionally or unintentionally, she increased the volume of the word generous and glanced at the stack of silver tickets
Ling Fifth Master hesitated for a moment, and somewhat painfully took two more silver checks, “You siblings will be in the capital for an unknown amount of time, it is better to bring more silver for protection”
Ling Jingshu immediately took the silver tickets, but did not confiscate them
With a concerned face, she asked Ling Fifth Master, “Father has given us most of his personal silver, will it be enough for future spending?”
The four thin silver tickets in Ling Jingshu’s hands contrasted sharply with the rather thick silver tickets in Master Ling’s hands
Saying something about most of the private silver was just too much of a violation
Fifth Master Ling’s face began to heat up again, gritting his teeth, he quickly took four silver tickets out and shoved them into Ling Jingshu’s hands
Then quickly closed the book: ”I don’t have much to use at home, you siblings go out and spend everywhere
Take all these!”
A total of 4,000 taels of silver bills, this time it really squeezed out all of Master Ling’s “fatherly love”
Ling Jingshu was also slightly satisfied, and took all the money, thanked her, and then left
Ling Fifth Master was still in pain over the loss of 4,000 taels of silver, and after putting the book back on the shelf, he sat alone in his chair for a long time
Soon after, the Li Clan, who had heard the news, hurriedly knocked on the door of the study
After pushing open the door, she couldn’t wait to ask: ”Master, tomorrow sister-in-law and the girls will be leaving for the capital
I just went to my sister-in-law’s place and heard that she said that tomorrow, Shuji’er and Ah Xiao will also be going to the capital with her, saying that they want to find a famous doctor to cure Ah Xiao’s eyes
What is this all about?
I’ve never heard anything about it before”
Probably because she was too shocked and annoyed, Li, who had always been gentle and small-minded, came to cross-examine in an angry tone
Ling Fifth Master was already pained by the huge loss of private silver, and hearing Li’s questioning, his heart was also very unhappy
His face steeply sank: “What?
A Xiao went to the capital to seek medical treatment for his eye disease, are you, as a mother, not happy?”
The words that Ling Jingshu had said before abruptly surfaced in her mind
Could it be that Li was really not happy to see Ling Xiao’s eyes being cured as Ling Jingshu had said?
Once the seed of suspicion hit the ground, it quickly took root and sprouted
In Ling Fifth Master’s gaze as he looked at Li, there was already a hint of suspicion and ill will
Li’s complexion stiffened, reflexively squeezing out a smile and softening her tone: ”Master has misunderstood
If A Xiao’s eyes can be cured, it is a great joy
My concubine is overjoyed, how could I be reluctant
It’s just that this matter came too suddenly, my concubine was unprepared and was momentarily dismayed, so my tone was a bit hasty”
Fifth Master Ling raised an eyebrow and let out a faint “oh”
His tone rose, clearly not believing Li’s words
Li was secretly chagrined in her heart
Just now, when she heard about this matter, she was too shocked and dismayed, and for a moment she couldn’t think of anything else, so she came to question Master Ling Fifth
The true face of the camouflage hidden for so long, almost revealed in front of the fifth master Ling
However, it was not her fault
She couldn’t have imagined in any way that Ling Jingshu was planning to take Ling Xiao to the capital to get her eyes cured
If he really cured his eyes, Ling Xiao would be able to start studying again to take the imperial exams, and with his talent, he might be able to get a meritocracy in less than a few years
The status in the mansion will also be higher and higher, and then there is old Mrs Ling to support
The grade is still young, Ling 雬 is not going to be pressed to raise their heads?
What’s annoying is that she didn’t know about this until today
Tomorrow, Ling Xiao’s siblings will leave Dingzhou with the eldest house, so it’s too late for her to do something about it
All of this must be Ling Jingshu’s fault, that little girl!
I don’t know how to persuade the fifth master Ling, even kept her in the dark
Thinking of this, Li’s teeth itchy with hatred, however, on the face did not dare to show a star
Li pretended to be aggrieved and said: ”Master, since I married into the Ling family, I asked myself to do my best and treat A Xiao and Shu Sister Er as if they were my own children
But I, as a mother, didn’t even know that Shuji’er and A Xiao were going to the capital
I only found out today when my sister-in-law mentioned it
At that time, my face was really hot and hot, and my heart was sad and sad
Under the excitement of the moment, this is to hurry to the study
I didn’t expect the master to misunderstand me because of this, my heart is really not a taste ” While saying that, while huffing and puffing and crying
Li’s birth is not particularly beautiful, but quite a mature woman’s flavor
At this time, the sadness of the low voice sobbing, but also to attract people’s sympathy
What’s more, Ling Fifth Master has always had a heart of compassion, see Li’s so emotional crying, finally softened, tone also softened: “Okay, I just casually say just, did not really suspect you what
You also don’t cry”
After a pause, she added: “The matter of A-shu taking A-xiao to the capital for treatment, only mother and I know about it
All the people in the mansion have been kept in the dark, and it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to hide it from you alone
You don’t have to take it personally”
It would be strange if it wasn’t directed at her!
Li clenched her teeth in her heart, quickly stopped crying, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said with a forced smile, “I just hope that the Divine Doctor Wei can really cure Ah Xiao’s eyes, and that it won’t be in vain for Sister Shu’s painstaking efforts to travel all the way to the capital with Ah Xiao”
But in her heart, she thought maliciously, that blind man, it is impossible to be cured again in this life
It would be best if there was an accident on the way, and the two siblings would never come back
