Chapter 20 Entering the city again
As soon as Shen Lianxin came in, Gu Chengzhen shouted, "Mom, I still can't sleep." Then she climbed up and snuggled into Shen Lianxin's arms. Shen Lianxin sat on the bed and patted her gently.
"How about I tell you a bedtime story?" Shen Lian thought, raising children is not just about bringing them up, one also has to teach them, and teaching requires constant output at all times in life, only then can the effect be best.
Gu Chengan shouted happily, "Okay, okay, tell me a story!" Gu Chengjing also looked over eagerly, and Gu Chengxin also said he wanted to listen.
"Then today we will talk about the first of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, Concealing the Heaven and Crossing the Sea. The story goes that when Emperor Taizong of Tang led his army to an expedition to Liaodong, the army arrived at the seaside. The sea was endless and the army could not cross it, and they were worried. Seeing this, General Xue Rengui invited him into the camp to drink. As the wine flowed, Emperor Taizong gradually forgot his worries. Just as he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard the sound of waves outside the tent. He opened the tent and found that he and the army were already crossing the sea and were about to reach the other side. It turned out that General Xue Rengui was afraid that Emperor Taizong would worry too much and give up the expedition, so he commanded the army to cross the sea without telling him. Because the emperor at that time was called the Son of Heaven, later generations called this story Concealing the Heaven and Crossing the Sea."
Several children listened attentively, "Mom, who is Emperor Taizong of Tang? Is he the emperor from the past?"
Shen Lianxin explained patiently, "Yes, he is a character in a storybook, and exists in the story."
Gu Chengjing asked, "Mom, if we steal a small piece of meat from the kitchen without being discovered, can we say that we are hiding something from the world?"
Shen Lianxin raised her eyebrows, took another look at Gu Chengjing, and praised, "You can say that, Xiaojing understands very quickly."
Gu Chengjing shrank his head, "Mom, I won't steal meat. You have to trust me."
Shen Lianxin laughed, "Mom knows."
Gu Chengxin fell into deep thought, Gu Chengan began to snore, and Gu Chengzhen also fell asleep. Shen Lianxin put Gu Chengzhen down and quietly left.
It would be good to tell them these military strategies as stories in the future, at least it can help them grow their minds. It's better to listen to some strategies than to hear about the big bad wolf catching the little white rabbit.
Shen Lianxin sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. Mosquitoes were buzzing around, and she was annoyed. Suddenly, she remembered that she went up the mountain to unlock the medical section and buy mosquito repellent. Shen Lianxin quickly searched for all kinds of mosquito repellents. She was dazzled by the variety of mosquito repellents. Finally, she chose a mosquito repellent ointment, which expelled mosquitoes by emitting fragrance. The ointment was not expensive, so Shen Lianxin bought two, one in the children's room and one in her own room.
I bought some comfrey ointment and applied it to the bitten area. Soon the itching stopped. Shen Lianxin also went back to her room and fell asleep.
Dawn gradually broke, and the pale blue sky was dotted with a few remaining stars.
Shen Lianxin put a plate of braised meat made last night in the kitchen and prepared milk powder for Xiaozhen. She put the braised meat into a backpack and took the herbs she dug in the mountains. She told Gu Chengxin, "Mother wants to find a job to make when she goes to the city this time. See if the braised meat she makes sells well. If there is not enough time and she may not be able to catch the ox cart, she will find a place to stay in the city for a day. She will come back tomorrow."
Gu Chengan was a little nervous, pulling Shen Lianxin's clothes, not saying anything, with worry on his face. Gu Chengxin nodded, "I know, mother, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters."
Shen Lianxin patted Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing comfortingly, and then touched Gu Chengxin's head, "You must supervise your brothers and sisters to do the homework that mother taught you at home. If you go up the mountain, don't walk too far, cook more rice for meals, and don't be reluctant to give up the food, mother will buy more food for you."
Gu Chengxin nodded, his eyes full of reluctance. It's not like he won't come back, he's just going to the city. It's like a farewell of life and death. Shen Lianxin turned around and left, unable to bear the eager looks from the few little eyes.
Arriving at Aunt Zhang's house next door, Shen Lianxin thought for a moment and knocked on the door.
"Here you come, oh, Lianxin. Come in and sit down." Aunt Zhang was very enthusiastic when she saw Shen Lianxin.
"No, Guihua. I'm going to the city to find a job. You know my family has no land. I have to do some small business to support several children. I may not be able to come back for a day. Please help me take care of the children." Aunt Zhang's real name is Xu Guihua. When they were good friends, they called each other by their names.
"Okay, don't worry. I'll help you take care of it."
Watching Shen Lianxin walking away with the big backpack on her back, Aunt Zhang sighed. It was really not easy for a widow to raise several children. She had to support a family alone and go out to do business. It was not easy for a woman to go out to do business.
Shen Lianxin walked to the entrance of the village and took Mr. Huang's cart again. Since she had a lot of stuff to bring today, Shen Lianxin gave him two copper coins. The cart set off with only three people.
On the way, the passengers chatted with each other, and Shen Lianxin occasionally said a few words. After an hour of wandering, they finally arrived in Yuncheng.
Shen Lianxin walked in alone with the basket on her back. She found a place with few people, put the meat in the basket back into the space, and ran to the pharmacy with the herbs.
Shen Lianxin came to a relatively large pharmacy in the city. When she entered the store, the clerk greeted her warmly, "Sir, what medicine do you want? Do you have a prescription?"
"I'm not here to buy medicine. I'm a villager nearby. I picked some herbs from the mountain. I wonder if your store accepts them?"
The clerk looked at Shen Lianxin and thought it was interesting that this peasant woman knew about herbs. He nodded and said, "We are the ones who buy herbs in our store. Please come in, madam, and let the shopkeeper take a look at your medicine and then discuss the price, okay?"
"nature."
Shen Lianxin was led into the backyard, where various herbs were drying. The faint scent of herbs wafted through, giving people a sense of security.
The shopkeeper came over, and Shen Lianxin poured out all the messy herbs she had picked on the mountain. There were quite a lot in a large basket. The shopkeeper frowned, "Young lady, these are indeed herbs, but they have not been roasted, and there are many kinds of them mixed together. It is very troublesome for us to collect them."
Shen Lianxin also understood that these herbs were not worth much. She had not sorted them or processed them. Most shops were unwilling to accept them. Shen Lianxin interrupted the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, how about these?"
As he said that, he took out today's best goods, three Lingzhi and three ginsengs. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, "What good goods, wild hundred-year-old Lingzhi, this ginseng is at least several decades old, these herbs are all very fresh, did the young lady just dig them?"
Shen Lianxin smiled and said, "I brought them here right after I dug them out. How much can these be sold for, boss?"
The shopkeeper stroked his beard and said, "Two of these Ganoderma lucidum are of good age and in perfect shape. I'll give you 50 taels each. The other one is 10 taels. I'll give you 20 taels each for these ginsengs. A total of 170 taels. How do you think?"
