Lucky husband

After being quietly happy, Bai Zhiwen asked, "Mother, have you and Ziyi eaten?"

Because he knew that Bai Zhiwen would not wake up so early, the porridge that Li Mingjin sent over was only two bowls, five pancakes the size of a palm, not a lot, enough for Bai Yaoshi and Bai Ziyi to eat, but not enough for them The three eat together.

Bai Yaoshi was worried all night. He didn't have the heart to pay attention to whether he was hungry or not, so he refused straight away: "Mother is not hungry, you and Ziyi can eat."

It may be because Bai Zhiwen has already woken up at this moment, and Bai Yao's mind relaxes. Smelling the aroma of pancakes, her stomach was awakened after an empty night, and she let out a "cuckoo" uncontrollably The sound is very noticeable in a quiet room.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiwen simply picked up a pancake and held it in front of Bai Yaoshi, and said again: "Mother, you are an elder, if you are hungry and don't eat, how can Ziyi and I have the nerve to eat as sons. Besides I'm a little hungry now, but I can't eat too much, there are so many pancakes, so you can eat with us."

People who have just been ill can't eat too much, Bai Zhiwen is right.

Seeing that Bai Yaoshi still wanted to refuse, Bai Ziyi rolled her eyes, ran over and picked up the pancake from her brother and stuffed it directly into his mother's hand: "Mother, you are the main force to take care of my brother, you can't be hungry. Come on, you can eat with us, brother eats two, mother eats two, I eat one is enough, I will go to the kitchen to cook after eating, don't worry, brother will not be hungry."

The two children persuaded themselves, and Bai Yao felt that what they said was reasonable, so he stopped insisting and ate with them in the room.

Bai Yao's natal family is also a family of scholars, because there are scholars, so the Yao family has more rules, one of which is not to eat in the room.

So after marrying into the Bai family, Bai Yao would only take care of the sick husband-in-law. In order to make it easier for him to eat, she would bring him to the room, and she would either eat casually in the kitchen, or eat with him The children eat together at the dinner table.

Holding pancakes in the room and chewing them directly is a new experience for Bai Yao, she has never experienced it since she was a child.

However, seeing Ziyi happily eating pancakes, and Zhiwen looking at his younger brother with a smile, Bai Yao suppressed the unaccustomed feeling in his heart, and ate the pancakes with them slowly.

After the whole family finished eating the small plate of pancakes, Bai Ziyi took the initiative to clean up the plates and bowls, and said to go to the kitchen to cook some other food for her brother and mother.

After his younger brother left, Bai Zhiwen asked the question he had been wanting to ask just now with a little embarrassment: "Mother, you said Brother Jin brought the pancakes? Does he know why I'm sick? "

Speaking of illness, Bai Yao still couldn't figure out what was going on with his son's illness. It was neither wind-cold nor wind-heat. Why did he suddenly develop a high fever, and then he suddenly recovered? I really don't understand.

However, Bai Yao, who knows her son well, probably knows what Bai Zhiwen said just now. She pretended to be stupid and replied: "Who knows how you got this disease? You have a sudden fever for no reason. Neither Langzhong Xing nor Langzhong Li Clearly, how could Brother Jin know."

"Mother..." Bai Zhiwen was helpless, he chose not to go around in circles and said directly, "Brother Jin, does he know that I went up the mountain to hunt wild geese yesterday?"

Bai Zhiwen asked this question because after he fell asleep, he seemed to hear something like "I don't think the meaning of wild geese is very good. Life and death follow each other, which sounds not so auspicious."

Because he was groggy at the time, Bai Zhiwen wasn't sure if he had hallucinations after falling asleep, or if brother Jin really came over and said such a sentence.

To be honest, before he set off to hunt wild geese, if someone said that, Bai Zhiwen might think that the person could not eat grapes and said grapes were sour.

But after he beat wild geese and fell ill for no reason, Bai Zhiwen suddenly felt that life and death are not a good word, and it is best not to appear in his life.

Hearing his son directly ask this question, Bai Yao analyzed: "I think Brother Jin should know about you hunting wild geese in the back mountains. Think about the relationship between the Li family and the Zheng family. Now that you know that our family intends to Married to the Li family, then Zheng Shan should tell his father-in-law or fiancee about it."

"Furthermore, Brother Jin and Langzhong Li are cousins, and they have a very good relationship with each other. Even if Zheng Orion doesn't tell, Langzhong Li will definitely tell Brother Jin and them."

"Son, it's not what mother said. The meaning of wild geese is really good. It's suitable for you to express your heart to your in-laws when you propose marriage. But if you talk about you, why don't you find more people to go up the mountain? If you and Zheng Shan are together If something happens on the mountain, what do you ask Niang and Ziyi to do."

Speaking of this, although Bai Yao knew that Li Mingjin didn't know about it, and knew that her son's injury and fever had nothing to do with Li Mingjin, she couldn't help being a little bit dissatisfied with Li Mingjin.

This kind of dissatisfaction was not because she didn't like Li Mingjin, but because Li Mingjin was about to become her son-in-law, the one who would "take away" her son in the future.

Of course, Bai Yao's dissatisfaction was only a little bit, because she was not confused, and would not anger Li Mingjin, saying that she had always been looking forward to her son marrying a wife and having children, and wanted to have a grandson.

However, Bai Zhiwen has always been sensitive to emotions. He noticed the change in his mother's mood, so he sat on the bed and made a simple apology to Bai Yao: "Mother, I was reckless about what happened yesterday. I shouldn't have thought it was a mistake." out."

"Actually, when I think about it now, I think the meaning of the geese is not very good. Ordinary people like us don't need to toss about those things. When I recover from my illness, I will let these two geese go."

"It really shouldn't be said. In two days, I should go to Brother Jin's house to get married and propose marriage. I was sick when I was about to get busy. Please take care of me for the dowry."

"I'll stay at home for a few more days after we get married, and I should go to Fucheng together with senior brother Mingde. My son is not filial and can't serve mother. I hope mother will understand."

……

In the face of the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is difficult to reconcile, Bai Zhiwen didn't help Li Mingjin, who hadn't written a word, to save his mother from being even more dissatisfied with Brother Jin, and only said that he was not good.

Said that he is sick now and needs his mother to take care of him, said that when he recovers, he should be engaged and his mother should worry about it, and when he is engaged, he should go to Fucheng. At that time, mother will only have brother Yi by her side. I hope mother will not be sad because of it.

Bai Zhiwen's words successfully diverted Bai Yao's attention. Compared with her son who would take a long time to get married, she was more concerned about his son's illness and about to leave home, so she couldn't help but just looked at Bai Zhiwen and wiped her tears.

Bai Zhiwen just didn't want his mother to continue talking about him hunting wild geese, and didn't want to make Nyonya cry, so he wanted to get up to comfort her in a moment of urgency.

Before Bai Zhiwen's movements were not large, and his clothes were not messed up. When he moved this time, the small purse hanging around his neck moved, and some gray-black ash fell on Bai Zhiwen's body at some point. collar.

The collar is close to the neck, and Bai Zhiwen can't see it himself. Bai Yao, who has been watching him, noticed it: "Zhiwen, don't move."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and patted the collar. She thought it was just a little dirt that fell on it at some time, but she didn't expect that she would scatter the ashes on the collar just now and sprinkle it all on the collar. The front of the coat.

Bai Yao looked at his son's underwear strangely, and exclaimed, "Oh, where is there so much dust!"

Bai Zhiwen put the underwear on Bai Zhiwen's body in the closet after being washed by Bai Yao. Bai Zhiwen didn't wear it until he came back from the mountain. They barely moved, so there was no chance of getting their clothes dirty.

So, where did the dust on the clothes come from?

The dirty clothes diverted Bai Yaoshi's attention again, she stopped her tears, and took a closer look.

Then she saw that the most "smeared" with dust was the purse hanging from Bai Zhiwen's collar. She had hung the purse around Bai Zhiwen's neck with her own hands just now, but she didn't see any dust when she hung it.

It was also at this time that Bai Zhiwen noticed that he had an unfamiliar purse hanging on his body. Seeing that the purse did not look like it was in the hands of his mother or Ziyi, he asked casually, "Mother, why do I have this purse on me?"

Bai Yao casually explained the origin of the purse: "Brother Jin brought it to you when he came to deliver the porridge and pancakes this morning. He said that it contained the amulet he had asked for in the Lingyun Temple before. I hope your Get better sooner."

Hearing that the purse was given by Li Mingjin, and looking at the stitches on it that were not fine enough, Bai Zhiwen guessed that the purse was made by Li Mingjin himself. He immediately no longer disliked the ashes on the purse, and directly took it off and held it in his hand to play with. .

Aiwujiwu, the word "Fu" on the purse is very simple, without extra patterns, but Bai Zhiwen can see the feeling of "cute" and "chic" on the purse.

Suddenly, Bai Zhiwen felt that he was fine with this inexplicable illness, no matter what else, at least he got a purse made by Brother Jin himself.

He couldn't put it down and squeezed the purse a few times. Bai Zhiwen felt that something was wrong, because he found that the center of the purse was soft, and it didn't look like it contained anything. amulet?"

Bai Yao replied as a matter of course: "That's right, Brother Renjin begged for it from Lingyun Temple a few years ago, please keep it safe and don't lose it."

When hanging the purse around his son's neck, Bai Yao felt a small triangle in the purse, which should be the amulet Jin Geer mentioned.

After listening to his mother's words, Bai Zhiwen pinched it again. He still felt that there was nothing in the purse. He opened the purse and found that it was actually empty.

Brother Jin has no need to lie, and his mother has no reason to lie, so what happened to the amulet in the purse?

Bai Yao looked over, and she also saw the empty purse, her eyes widened in surprise: "Hey? Where's the amulet inside?"

Noticing that there were also some gray and black things inside the purse, Bai Yao asked Bai Zhiwen to shake out the contents of the purse so that she could see what it was.

Bai Zhiwen nodded, took the purse over the small cabinet by the bed and shook it, a little gray-black residue poured out from the purse.

At this time, Bai Yao told Bai Zhiwen not to move, she carefully twisted a little ashes from Bai Zhiwen's underwear, and put it on the small cabinet beside the bed.

The ash and slag are compared together, and the similarity is very high. The difference is that the ash on the clothes is more delicate, and the slag in the purse is a little rougher, but if you grind the slag, it also turns into ash.

If the material of the purse is not good, and it contains some ashes, then the ashes on Bai Zhiwen's body may have leaked from a bag, but the material of the purse is not bad, it doesn't seem like it will leak ash .

But whether it is ash or slag, they are clearly the same thing, and they are likely to be in the purse.

Then the question arises, Bai Xiuhe can be sure that the amulet was in the purse before, how could it turn into ashes and slag for no reason?

Staring at the ashes and slag on the small cabinet, a thought that made Bai Yao feel absurd but very possible appeared in her mind-the amulet worked.

The biggest function of amulets and amulets is to protect the body. Eliminating pain can be regarded as a kind of body protection.

Thinking about it carefully, when she accidentally took a nap in the morning, Zhiwen's body temperature was a little hotter than yesterday. Before brother Jin came over, she had just given Zhiwen medicine, and Zhiwen's body temperature didn't drop much. When Zhiwen wiped his face and hands, he didn't notice much change in the temperature of Zhiwen's body.

Turning his head, as soon as Li Qiusheng and the others came over, Zhiwen's fever disappeared immediately, and he quickly regained consciousness. Even the terrible wound on his arm healed a lot, as if it had lasted for five or six days.

During this period of Zhiwen's changes, apart from the medicine she gave him, there was an extra amulet sent by Brother Jin.

"Zhiwen, do you think these ashes and dregs look like talisman ash?" Bai Yao stared at the ash and dregs on the small cabinet, wishing to see something on them.

This time Bai Zhiwen didn't understand what his mother was thinking: "What?"

The more Bai Yao thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. She lowered her voice and said to Bai Zhiwen, "Zhiwen, your illness recovered so quickly, thanks to the amulet sent by Brother Jin."

Saying his conjecture again, Bai Yao looked at the purse that Bai Zhiwen was still holding in his hand, and the dissatisfaction that Li Mingjin was about to become her husband disappeared in an instant——

If Brother Jin hadn't sent the amulet in time, Zhiwen would have suffered a lot if he became ill, and Brother Jin would be Zhiwen's lucky star!
