After rebirth and marriage, the sick prince is fine again

The kitchen was brightly lit and dinner preparations had already begun.

Su Jinhua often went in and out of the kitchen, and the servants were used to it, so they voluntarily gave up their stove.

"Thank you."

Su Jinhua thanked him softly, and Banxia helped him.

"Miss, what ingredients are needed for the Four Gods Soup, and what are their effects?"

"The Four Gods Soup uses four kinds of herbs: Poria cocos, Atractylodes macrocephala, lotus seeds, and Euryale ferox. Its main function is to strengthen the spleen and nourish the heart. It is suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach, and can also cure insomnia."

Banxia's eyes were bright, her young lady really knew a lot.

Su Jinhua was making the Four Spirits Soup with a focused and serious look on his face.

During this time, I also made a plate of glutinous rice and red bean cake dessert.

Yucui was guarding outside the princess's door. She saw Su Jinhua and Banxia, ​​who were carrying food, approaching from afar. She immediately put on a respectful smile and went forward to greet them.

"The Crown Prince and his wife are well."

Su Jinhua nodded and said softly, "I came to visit my mother. I wonder if she has gone to bed now?"

"Your Highness is reading a book. Princess, please wait a moment. I will go and report to him."

"Excuse me."

Yucui went in for a short while and came out with a smile, "Please come in, Princess."

Judging from Yucui's appearance, the princess should be in a good mood.

Su Jinhua took Banxia into the princess' bedroom and saw that she was still reading.

When he heard footsteps, he looked up and said softly, "It's snowing and the weather is cold. You don't have to come to me all the time."

"The daughter-in-law wants to come and see her mother. Even if it means risking her life, she will come."

Su Jinhua turned around and took the food box from Banxia.

"In winter, the wind is cold and the dew is heavy, which is most likely to cause spleen deficiency. Son, I specially made four-spirit soup and a plate of red bean cakes. I hope mother will enjoy and feel comfortable eating them."

The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction. After all, those concubines could not compare to Jinhua. Their filial piety alone was far beyond comparison.

"I'm interested. I heard that Si Shen Tang can cure heart palpitations. Is it true?"

"That's true. Mother has been suffering from insomnia and palpitations these past two days?"

The eldest princess nodded, then couldn't help but smile bitterly and turned her gaze to the bronze mirror.

Everyone has a stunning appearance when they are young, but after more than ten years of wasting time, her appearance is no longer the same as before.

Maybe in a few years, your face will be covered with wrinkles.

"I am old. Once you get old, you will have all kinds of problems."

"Mother, what you said is wrong. A person's state depends on his mood. The heart is connected to the five internal organs. If even the mood is not good, how can the five internal organs and spirit be good?"

Su Jinhua cited some examples from medical books, and the princess understood these principles.

But it’s better to talk to someone close to you instead of thinking about it alone.

Sure enough, after chatting with Su Jinhua for a while, the eldest princess's brows visibly relaxed.

"Jinhua still understands my heart the best." The eldest princess patted the back of Su Jinhua's hand.

"The daughter-in-law is willing to help her mother solve her problems."

After chatting with the eldest princess, Su Jinhua mentioned that he wanted to go to the medicine store.

"You're going there before Laba Festival?"

"That's right. Although we have already deployed some manpower there, we still need to make arrangements on how to plant and what to plant."

“My daughter-in-law has to personally oversee the dispatch of personnel. Otherwise, if people with bad intentions sneak in, the pharmacy will be ruined.” The princess could not refuse Su Jinhua’s reason and could only fully support him.

"I will send someone to follow you and protect your safety. It's bitterly cold in the manor, so I'll let Yucui follow you. If you need anything, just tell her."

"Daughter-in-law, thank you mother."

Having achieved his goal, Su Jinhua stopped disturbing him and found an excuse to leave.

……

Compared to Su Jinhua's comfortable and leisurely days in the Marquis' Mansion, Su Ziyu's life was not really good.

It snowed and the weather was getting colder day by day, even though the Shen family's old house was made of blue bricks and tiles.

But the blue bricks are old, and several bricks and tiles have been broken, and the empty spaces are covered with thatch.

Even when the coal was burning, a cold wind would blow into the house.

It's fine when it doesn't snow, but when it starts snowing, the snowflakes float inside and the quilt is wet when I wake up in the morning.

The coal is burned out, and it's really uncomfortable to wrap myself in this cold quilt.

"Mother-in-law, let's go buy some bricks and tiles to fill in those empty spaces."

As soon as Su Ziyu opened his mouth, Shen became dissatisfied instantly.

"Buy bricks and tiles. Do you know how much a brick and tile costs? That's enough for us to have food for several days!"

"Besides, isn't it covered with thatch? At most, we can build a few more layers. The money saved can buy more food."

Su Ziyu rolled his eyes in his heart. This Shen was really a person with long hair and short knowledge.

Buying bricks and tiles is better than catching a cold from the wind. In the end, the money is used to buy medicine for treatment, which is much more expensive than a few bricks and tiles.

"Mother-in-law, what you said is wrong. No matter how expensive bricks and tiles are, they are not as important as your husband's health. If your husband gets frozen, it will be a loss."

During the days when the Shen family was bullied openly and covertly, she had finally figured out what was going on.

What Shen cares about most is her beloved son Shen Rujun. As long as he is involved in something, she will immediately change her attitude.

It is precisely because she has grasped this point that her life has been much better recently.

"Mother-in-law, you certainly don't want to see your husband catch a cold, right? That's so painful. He can't even study well if he's sick."

As soon as these reasons for caring about Shen Rujun were brought up, Shen's expression changed again and again, and finally she had to agree to buy bricks and tiles.

Su Ziyu sneered. After being together for so long, he still can’t control a wretched old woman like you?

"Mother-in-law, a few bricks and tiles are nothing compared to my husband's health. I have bought a lot of books for him recently, but I don't have enough money. You..."

Speaking of this, Su Ziyu was so angry that he almost exploded.

Since she came back from the Su Mansion last time, most of the Shen family's food, clothing and other expenses, including coal, were paid for by her.

In the Su Mansion, coal was just delivered to the houses, and it was not her turn as a rich lady to worry about it.

But since marrying into the Shen family, she has to be careful with her spending. Now the price of coal is almost more expensive than meat.

But if she didn't have a fever, she wouldn't be able to survive this severe winter.

Speaking of money, Shen's face changed again.

"Ziyou, all the money in the family is used to pay for Rujun's education. How can there be any money left?"

"I have one or two ounces of silver here. You can use it first. I don't have the rest. If it really doesn't work, you can spread some more straw, which will also be warm."

Su Ziyou didn't change his expression towards this stingy old widow, he just sighed and said, "In that case, it's better to save some money. I'll go buy some straw."

Shen's face changed, and all the plans in her mind suddenly fell through.

There were also a few gaps on her roof. When it snowed, the wind and snow blew in. She was already old and couldn't stand the cold wind.

She was reluctant to burn the coal and wanted to save some for her son.

If the space above her house could be filled, she could save some money.

Su Ziyou had just returned from the Su Mansion and must have received some subsidy. She was calculating how many bricks and tiles she could buy with the money.

Who would have thought that Su Ziyu would change the subject and decide not to buy it.

"Ziyou, that's not right. Just like you said, health is the most important thing. It doesn't matter to us, but we can't let Rujun suffer. We still have to buy it."

Su Ziyou sneered and said lightly, "Take the money. If you don't have money, what can you buy it with?"

"Mother-in-law, I know, but our family is struggling financially, and we need to use the remaining money for Rujun's studies, so we should save it."

"And you're right, thatch can also keep you warm. Ten copper coins can buy a lot. You just gave me one or two taels of silver. Apart from buying some thatch, you can save a lot. I can buy some meat for my husband to nourish his body."

Shen's face turned pale and blue. She had only been married for a few days and this daughter-in-law dared to speak to her like this.

"Ziyou, I don't mean anything else. Save what you should save and spend what you should spend. Our family is just a little tight on money at the moment. Once you make it to the list, we won't treat you unfairly and we won't refuse to pay you back."

"You just subsidize one or two first."

Subsidy one or two?

What a loud tone!

"Mother-in-law, I understand what you said, but I really have no money."
