Mrs. Rebirth

"Master, it's time to drink the medicine." Liu Ma came in with a bowl of steaming black soup, and Zuo Shaoqing's face turned dark immediately.

Even though the few extremely bitter medicines were wiped off, the soup was still too bitter to swallow, but in order not to make Mama Liu suspect, he still had to drink it.

"Put it down, I'll drink it myself later."

Liu Ma retorted disapprovingly: "The medicine should be taken while it's hot."

Zuo Shaoqing knew that she was very persistent, so she took the bowl and held it in her hand, and asked casually, "Why is it so lively outside? But what's the happy event?"

"Have you forgotten? It will be the old lady's fiftieth birthday in half a month. The master has sent word that it will be a big event this year."

Zuo Shaoqing suddenly realized, yes, in his previous life, he had been lying on the bed recuperating, so naturally he missed this birthday, no wonder he didn't have much memory.

He didn't have a deep impression of the old lady, he only remembered that she was a strict and demanding old man, and even Mrs. Xue was respectful in front of her, but it was a pity that he couldn't see anyone all year round.

Although he didn't expect to get a different opinion from the old lady, it was unreasonable for the grandson not to prepare a gift for his grandmother's birthday, and it might be another unfilial hat.

"Liu Ma, go and prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones for me. Prepare more."

"Master, you haven't healed yet, why do you want these?"

Zuo Shaoqing blinked and smiled slyly, "You will know later."

Liu Ma stroked his hair affectionately, and then a trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes, "Master... I have something to discuss with you."

"Ok?"

"That... I'm going to pawn the jade bracelet left by Aunt Ruan, you see...?"

Zuo Shaoqing thought about it, looked at Liu Ma's weather-beaten cheeks, and sighed, "But the moon silver is not enough?"

In fact, I also want to know that his monthly silver is only one or two taels, and he has to pay for everything except food, clothing, housing and travel. In addition to eating and drinking well these days, I am afraid there is no money left?

He yelled out the door: "Little Six!"

When someone came in, Zuo Shaoqing said in a flat voice: "Go to the master's study and tell me that I am bored and want to practice calligraphy."

"Ah?" Luo Xiaoliu was confused, unable to understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Just go, the master will understand." Zuo Shaoqing hooked the corners of his lips, that father was feeling guilty, right?How can you be worthy of yourself if you don't take advantage of it now?

Although Luo Xiaoliu was puzzled, he still walked obediently to the study in the outer courtyard.

After a cup of tea, Zuo Shaoqing, who was waiting in the room, saw Luo Xiaoliu happily rushing in with a stack of things.

Half a month later, the old lady's birthday banquet came as scheduled, and the Zuo Mansion was full of joy and laughter except for this small courtyard which was deserted.

At the moment of Xu Shi, Liu Ma walked into the yard with an angry expression on her face, and she didn't shed her expression until she saw the young man who was seriously reading a book under the lamp when she entered the room.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say you're going to fetch food?" Zuo Shaoqing put down the book, not surprised that Liu Ma returned empty-handed.

Mama Liu kept a straight face, and answered eagerly: "The people in the big kitchen said that there are many visitors today, and they are busy with the banquet, so they may not have time to make dinner for the third master. Let the slaves go in two hours."

Zuo Shaoqing knew the answer earlier, so he was not angry but comforted: "That's right, let Xiao Liuzi go out and buy some food when he comes back."

Liu Ma was still filled with anger, and snorted coldly, "There are only three people in our yard, how much food can we eat? We can get rid of it with just a little, and they are clearly making things difficult on purpose."

As soon as the words fell, a hearty shout came from outside the small courtyard: "Is the third master here?"

Zuo Shaoqing and Liu Ma looked at each other, wondering why someone would come at this hour.

"Who is it?" As soon as Mama Liu welcomed her out, she saw a daughter-in-law in her early thirties walking in with two little maids.

The daughter-in-law said with a smile: "Sister Liu, the old lady knows that the third master is seriously injured and cannot attend the birthday banquet, so she ordered me to make a table for the third master."

Liu Ma was a little surprised, the old lady had never taken such good care of the third master, what happened today?

But soon she knew the answer. The daughter-in-law asked the servant girl to put the rice noodles in the inner room of Zuo Shaoqing's bedroom, stepped forward to salute Zuo Shaoqing and said: "The old lady asked the servant girl to bring a word to the third master, saying yes The third master has a heart, you are sick in bed and still think of her old man, she is very happy to receive your gift."

Zuo Shaoqing had a pale face, and smiled feebly, "Grandma's birthday is over, and it's already unfilial for my grandson not to kowtow to her old man. A small gift is not worth anything."

"That's not a small gift. Once your [-] neatly transcribed Buddhist scriptures came out, it surpassed the congratulatory gifts of several other masters. Even the guests praised you for your thoughtfulness and good handwriting, old man People like it."

Zuo Shaoqing lowered her head slightly, showing a shy expression, her long eyelashes trembling, "As long as grandma likes it."

It is said that looking at a beautiful woman under the lamp, Zuo Shaoqing was leaning weakly on the bed, her long hair was not bundled, and was casually draped over her shoulders. The small face that hadn't grown up was neither male nor female, and it was so beautiful that it made people feel distressed.

The daughter-in-law looked at her a few more times, and thought to herself: It is said that Aunt Ruan has been favored by the master for so many years because of her face. The third master has looked like his mother since childhood. After two years, he must be a handsome man.

It's a pity, in this Zuo family, what good is a man no matter how good he looks?

The daughter-in-law calmed down and said with a smile: "The old lady also said that she worships the Buddha all the year round and neglects many things at home. Knowing the cause of your injury, the third master has already trained the second master, and even let the servants give you I sent some medicinal materials and ten taels of silver, so that you can recuperate well."

Is this a surprise?Zuo Shaoqing smiled secretly, and said calmly: "Second brother also missed for a while, it wasn't on purpose, please grandma don't blame second brother."

The daughter-in-law looked at Zuo Shaoqing with softer eyes, "The servant will convey your thoughts to the old lady, you can eat first, the servant is leaving."

Zuo Shaoqing nodded, "Mother Liu, send this little aunt off for me."

"No need, no need, you can't be a servant." The daughter-in-law left a gift of condolences and left in a hurry.

Zuo Shaoqing stared at the table of sumptuous dishes and the parcels beside the table with a puzzled expression. In his last life, he did not celebrate the old lady's birthday, and naturally he did not have these rewards tonight. It seems that some things are slowly changing.
