[The Legend of Zhen Huan] Rebirth of An Lingrong

After the turmoil that day, An's mother fell ill, and Fang's and Wei's took turns taking care of her; Ling Zhi and Lingyong's exams were about to come, and they worked hard on their own, and rarely stayed in the mansion; "Li worshiped the Buddha, either by picking Buddha beans, or by chanting or copying scriptures, wearing coarse clothes, and eating bland vegetarian food, but he became old and thinner in just a few days; while An Linglong fell ill again. After tossing and tossing over and over again, but still hanging on his breath, it's not good if he can't die.The one who has not changed the most is An Bihuai. An Bihuai is a person who has no responsibility. Every day, he goes to the yamen to do nothing during the day.

Ling Rong didn't have the heart to pay attention to An Bihuai. Recently, An's mother fell ill, and Fang's family had to wait on her sickness again. Ling Rong took care of everything in the shop.

The Bai family's cousin, Bai Jinrong, was kicked out of An's house, and Ling Rong changed a few clerks and accountants in the shop, and took all the shop back into his own hands.I also invited a few experienced accountants to re-check the accounts of the past few years.As expected, Bai Jinrong had indeed been greedy for a lot of money in the past few years, and secretly bought a three-year-old house and raised a beautiful concubine.

After being kicked out, Bai Jinrong lost his livelihood and gradually ran out of silver in his hands, so the woman ran away with the others without looking back, wrapping up the deed and money.Bai Jinrong had no choice but to look for a job everywhere, but it was a pity that the news of being greedy for money from Master Mo's family got out, and no one dared to hire him, so he could only do odd jobs or carry things, and his life was very difficult.Bai Jinrong tried several times to sneak into An's house, but was stopped by Ling Rong's people, but failed.

After Ling Rong has been so busy for a month, the family shop is finally on track again, and the business is not bad.An's mother's illness was also cured, but after all, she was getting older and her spirit was not as good as before, so she completely let go of power and handed over the family affairs and shop affairs to Fang, Ling Rong and Wei Shi for assistance.

Ling Jie, Ling Yan, and Ling Shu are already 6 years old, and they have reached the age of enlightenment.Ling Jie is a boy, so he naturally goes to school. Recently, his family has a lot of money, so he sent Ling Jie to the best school in the county; as for Ling Yan and Ling Shu, the Fang family invited special female teachers to teach at home Every morning, I learn Chinese hyphenation, and in the afternoon I also learn rites, music, royal skills, cooking skills, and female workers. Women in this era work much harder than men.However, due to the young age of Ling Yan and Ling Shu, Fang did not fill up the time for the two of them. They only studied for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, and the two of them could still enjoy the leisure time of children at other times.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it has entered June, and there are less than two months before the autumn test.Ling Zhi seldom goes out these days, he concentrates on studying at home, and occasionally asks Mr. Ma for some academic matters.Both An's mother and Fang's were a little nervous, and they kept soup and supplements every day, for fear that Ling Zhi would be hungry and tired.

Ling Rong wasn't idle either, she was looking around for ice cubes.It's only been a few years at home that life has been easier. There is no ice cellar at all. Seeing the weather getting hotter and hotter day by day makes people feel uncomfortable all over.The old and the young in this family are not heat-resistant, and Ling Zhi has to concentrate on studying, so ice is essential.It's just that these ice cubes are usually only available to rich families, and they are rarely sold, and Lingrong hasn't been able to buy them for a while.Another half month has passed like this, and seeing that it will soon be July, Ling Rong still hasn't bought ice.

In the end, there was really no other way, Ling Rong could only ask Tian'er for help.Although Tian'er's family has a simple population, it has a deep foundation. It has its own ice cellar, and with Tian'er's help, it distributes some ice for the mausoleum.Although the amount is not large, it can still be used sparingly for some time.Ling Rong sent some ice to An's mother and Ling Zhi, and evened out some for the three younger ones, but he didn't keep it.On the other hand, Lingrong is still trying to find ice.Later, I still bought some ice one after another, but there were many impurities and the price was high, so I could barely use it to cool down, but I couldn't eat it.Ling Rong originally wanted to build an ice cellar for his family, but unfortunately the cost was too high, so he had to give up temporarily.

In July, the weather began to enter the hottest season, and the rain began to increase. The hot and humid weather made people miserable.

"Miss, there's news from the 'Depingtang' that the green willow is about to give birth, and the old lady has sent someone to find Mrs. Wen." Baozhu walked in with a bowl of sour plum soup to cool off the heat, mysteriously. Xi said.

"Isn't it only seven months old? Why is she giving birth so soon?" Ling Rong asked calmly after taking a sip of sour plum soup.

"It's said that the greedy mouth drank a bowl of iced white fungus soup, and then got a stomachache, so it started." Baozhu said.

"Well, that's right. Pay more attention, and report when you give birth." Lingrong ordered, and Baozhu went away in high spirits.

As a result, I waited for a day and a night, but I just waited for a bad news.The child was born prematurely and had dystocia. Although he was born, he was still a son, but his bones were extremely poor, and it was still a question of whether he could support him. But that Luliu was not so lucky, and he bled profusely after giving birth.A servant who is not even considered a girl in the same room is nothing more than a thin coffin, buried hastily, and not a single monument is erected.An's mother hired a nanny to look after the child, but the child's life was hard. Although he drank more medicine than milk, he survived well.

"Miss, I heard Qingmao say that the 'Ilan Courtyard' is restless again, clamoring to see her grandson, and thinking of creating a genealogy for that child and holding a full moon banquet. I don't know where she came from How dare you be so arrogant." Bao Zhu whispered to Ling Rong.

"Confidence? She just relies on the fact that the child is the first heir of the fourth generation of the An family. Presumably, she thinks that her own line has something to fight for. I don't know what that means." Ling Rong smiled coldly, Disdainful.

"It's just a newborn milk baby. It's hard to say whether it will be raised or not. Where does the confidence come from?" Baozhu couldn't believe it.

"Don't pay attention to her, let Qingmao take care of her. By the way, isn't that child in poor health? You go find more scriptures and white silk, and ask Qingmao to send them to Aunt Bai. She watched Aunt Bai embroider each word, and said that it was used to pray for the child. Also, don't forget to send some silver taels and sour plum soup to Qingmao. It's hot, let Qingmao take care Body." Ling Rong said with a slight smile.

"Okay, servant girl will do it now." Baozhu hurried out of the door.

The remaining mausoleum unconsciously touched her eyes with her hands. Embroidery hurts the eyes the most. I think that's how my mother's eyes were ruined back then. She wants to let Mrs. Bai experience this pain too!

After the episode that day, An's family returned to calm, and the arrival of the child did not affect anything.The days are still going on day by day, and the day of the township examination is getting closer, and the atmosphere at home has become tense.

The township examination is held in August, so it is also called Qiu Wei.In mid-July, Lexus was ready to set off for Chuzhou, the location of the provincial examination; Songyang County belongs to Chuzhou, and Chuzhou is the largest city under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Province and one of the main examination venues in Zhejiang Province.

The rural examination is divided into three sessions. The ninth, [-]th, and [-]th days of the lunar new year are the main sessions. Candidates enter the site the day before each session and leave the site the day after, which is very hard work.

In addition, in the Qing Dynasty, the township examination rules were extremely strict, and strict prohibitions were established before and after the examination, inside and outside the examination.The prevention of entrainment of candidates is particularly strict, and strict inspections are carried out when entering the venue.In order to prevent entrainment, it is stipulated that candidates must wear detachable clothes, single-layer shoes and socks, leather clothes with no face, and felt blankets with no lining; wooden cabinets, wooden boxes, double-layer benches, and cotton quilts are prohibited; inkstones are not allowed to be too thick, and pen tubes It must be hollowed out, the wax table must be hollow through the bottom, and the pastry must be cut open.

For this reason, An's mother and Fang's have prepared a lot of things for Ling Zhi for the exam, clothes, shoes and socks, bedding, benches, inkstones, pen tubes, candlesticks... everything, and they packed a big bag, making Ling Zhi dumbfounded .

"Mother, these can all be done in Chuzhou, so why do you..." Ling Zhi smiled helplessly as he looked at the things that had already filled half the carriage.

"How can it be the same? Going out is no better than being at home. You must be fully prepared." Fang ignored Ling Zhi and continued to busy move things to the carriage.

"Brother, you can just rely on mother, otherwise mother will accompany you to the exam in person." Ling Rong covered her mouth and snickered.

"Ah~~" Lexus could only compromise.

On July 23, Lexus set off with a book boy and a servant.Before leaving, Ling Rong stuffed an envelope for Ling Zhi, which contained a house deed. It was just a small house with two entrances, and Ling Rong sent someone to Chuzhou to buy it in advance.Although the house is not big and the location is a bit remote, it is better because the environment is quiet and it is close to the Gongyuan where the exam will be held, so it is very suitable for scholars who are taking the exam.

On the carriage, Ling Zhi grasped the house deed tightly, feeling warm and astringent in his heart.

'Rong'er, don't worry, I will definitely get fame and fame, and I will definitely be your best support, I will. Ling Zhi swore secretly.

On this side, Ling Zhi was busy with scientific research, and Ling Rong on the other side couldn't be free.Because Ling Yong is going to take the martial arts exam this year, that is, the children's exam of martial arts.

The children's examination of martial arts is divided into inner and outer courts. The first and second are the outer courts, which test horse archery, infantry, and hard bows and knives;Ling Rong wasn't worried that Ling Yong would fail in bowing, horseback riding and shooting, but this strategy... Ling Rong could only lament.Therefore, these days Ling Yong has been holding Ling Yong to read books and write policy theories, causing Ling Yong to wail again and again.

The examination for martial arts students was earlier than the provincial examination for liberal arts, so Ling Yong passed the examination before Ling Zhi.Because it was just an exam for Tong students, the exam room was set in Songyang County, very close to General Heluke's residence, so on the day of the exam, Ling Rong went to the General's residence to play with Tian'er and wait for news by the way.

"Sister Lingrong, why are you so absent-minded? Are you worried about An Lingyong?" Tian'er rested her chin in boredom, looking at the distraught Lingrong.

"Yes, Ling Yong is taking the exam for the first time, so I don't know if he will be nervous."

"My sister just thinks too much. He is so savage, so he won't be nervous! What my sister should worry about is whether he will be impulsive and hurt someone." Tian'er pouted and said unhappily.

"Eh... also." Ling Rong smiled helplessly.

"Sister, don't worry, it's so boring at home, let's go out for a stroll? Okay, okay~~" Tian'er lovingly pulled Ling Rong's sleeve and acted like a baby.

"..., alright." Ling Rong compromised.

Ling Rong was dragged around by Tian'er for most of the day, so tired that he had no time to think about Ling Yong.

"Tian'er, we've been walking for a long time, let's take a rest." Tian'er was so energetic that Ling Rong couldn't afford to accompany her.

"Sister, your physical strength is too weak! You haven't finished shopping yet!" Tian'er muttered.

"I'm sorry Tian'er, I ruined your interest." The two sat in the side room of the tea house, Ling Rong gently rubbed his sore legs, and looked at Tian'er apologetically.

"It's okay, it's the same when we go shopping next time. But, sister, you really should move more. How about... let's go horseback riding tomorrow!" Tian'er's eyes lit up and suggested.

"But... I don't know how to ride a horse." Ling Rong said in embarrassment. Although she has been a human for two lives, she has never ridden a horse.

"It's okay, I can teach my sister! Just a few days ago, my Ama found me a docile filly, which is perfect for beginners!" Tian'er suggested enthusiastically.

"This... alright." Ling Rong thought for a while and agreed.

"Yeah! That's great!" Tian'er hugged Ling Rong and smiled brightly, and Ling Rong couldn't help laughing, she always felt that life was full of joy when she was with Tian'er.

For the next few days, Ling Rong was dragged by Tian'er to learn how to ride a horse. Until Ling Yong's exam was over, Ling Rong was still training on the horse farm.Every day I go there with great enthusiasm, and come back with a backache, but I still enjoy it. Slowly, Ling Rong can ride a horse and jog by himself.

Ling Rong found that she began to fall in love with this feeling of freedom.
