The husband's son-in-law
Chapter 96
Two days ago, Wang Shitou and Xinger closed the store, rented a mule cart early, put the big and small bags on the top, and his son Yuan Yuan was also dressed neatly, and there was a small cloth pocket schoolbag, which was Mrs. Yuan Yuan's wife Sew and send.
Brother Xing knew why, a letter came from Beijing more than half a month earlier, and this time he delivered a wooden box that was quite heavy. The head of the caravan handed the key to Shi Shi and said: "The old man handed it to me that day. Yes, there are two books, four letters, two purses, one with a long-life lock, and one with 80 taels of silver, you guys have made it clear."
Why did you install 80 taels of silver?Brother Xing was startled, how come he brought so much here, he is not afraid that the money will be taken away by the caravan people, but he dare not show it, Mo is still in charge.
Opening the box in front of Mo's boss, everything was checked, and nothing was missing.
Brother Xing was a little ashamed, feeling that he was narrow-minded, he couldn't stop thanking Mr. Mo, and sent him a lot of lo mei.
Director Mo simply accepted the lo-mei, and before leaving, he said, "Master Gu was at home when I picked up the things, and I told you at the time that if your son and wife want to copy those two books, you can copy them, it's nothing."
The Li family is kind-hearted, especially Mr. Gu, who also gives favors to relatives in this prefecture and county.
Wang Shitou and his wife sent Mo Zhangshi out, and sent Yuan Yuan to the private school the next day and brought books with them, saying that it was the book sent back to the village master by Mr. Gu in Beijing, and Yuan Yuan could also copy it.
The "Two Exams in Three Years" series is very popular in Beijing. Almost every scholar has a copy, and then it spreads slowly. Now the logistics is slow. The first volume is also available in Wannan Prefecture and Ningping Prefecture, but it is expensive and extremely rare. Very sought after.
The second volume of "Bath of Holy Grace" is not available in Ninh Binh Prefecture.
Master Yuan Yuan was so excited when he saw the cover of "Three Years and Two Examinations", his hands were trembling, tears filled his eyes immediately, Brother Xing was startled, why, why did he cry?Is this book so powerful?
Not only is it powerful.
Those were the books compiled by the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and there were also articles written by several Hanlin masters.Looking at the second book again, he almost fainted from tears of joy, but he recovered later, holding the two very precious books, rubbing the cover, and muttering about the benevolence of Mr. Gu.
The book was copied by Mr. Yuan Yuan, and when returning the book, Mrs. Yuan Yuan's wife sewed a small schoolbag for Yuan Yuan, explaining that she would not need Yuan Yuan's repair money next year, and gave her a box of snacks made at home. .
Brother Xing once again felt that being an official is good.
Don't talk about Brother Xing, Wang Shitou didn't understand it before, thinking that it would be good for them to make a living by doing business and earn more food, and what good is being an official, and studying costs money, but now he doesn't think so.
Mo Zhangshi runs errands every year to bring things, and there is no shortage of things. The reason, it must not be because the two of them are doing business and cook delicious food, but it is the relationship between Mr. Gu in Beijing.
When I sent Yuan Yuan to my master, although I didn’t pick and choose his family Yuan Yuan, they were not straight in business. Every time Xing Geer or him went to pick up Yuan Yuan, they didn’t dare to enter. Waiting at the door, why Master Yuan Yuan's attitude has changed so much now, it is also because of Mr. Gu.
Now Wang Shitou must study well to become an official.
Not much to say, now that the family has packed up and locked the courtyard door, Brother Xing is holding the box in person. There are 80 taels sent back from Beijing, and the more than 100 taels his family earned this year. He is scared Tight, I was worried all the way, thinking that it would be better to buy a mule cart, so that it would be convenient and safe to go back later.
We set off early and did not dare to walk at night. It was already dark when we arrived in the village.
The Wang family is warmly entertaining. The sister-in-law Xu’s hot water has been boiled. In the past few days, the children have been waiting for the door to go back to the village road to watch, just waiting for the uncle and aunt to come back. The car came to his house, and everyone ran back to call grandma and grandma, and uncle and aunt came back.
Before the mule cart arrived, the Wang family came out and began to meet them.
Yuan Yuan was carried out of the car, surrounded by his elder brothers and sisters, they rarely asked how Yuan Yuan's prefecture was, and Yuan Yuan followed his elder brothers and sisters to talk.
"Go play in the yard." Brother Xing took out a box of snacks from Mrs. Yuan Yuan's house and let the children play while eating.
The adults unloading things are all New Year's goods bought by Brother Xing.
Only Brother Xing, the wooden box, didn't let go, and said: "I brought it back from Beijing. I'll ask Xiaotian to read the letter tomorrow. Is Xiaotian back?"
"We'll be there two days earlier." The Wang family's mother-in-law didn't move.
After eating and resting that day, the accounts were settled first, and the family gathered together. Wang Shitou took out the wooden box. When he opened it, the Wang family was dumbfounded. Why are there more than last year?
"Business is good during the Chinese New Year. Shitou and I hired two small workers, and we earned 20 taels in just a few days."
Excluding the original, Xinggeer and his wife earned 170 taels of silver in the prefecture and county this year.
"I thought about giving money to Su Gouwa's family before Zhou Zhou. It was dependent money. Our family did business because of Zhou Zhou's favor. Zhouquan paid for it." Brother Xing discussed with his mother-in-law, "I'll take the money."
The mother-in-law of the Wang family must have no objection. This half of the money is 86 taels, which is more than eating in the field. It is because the second wife has worked hard outside. She is sure to do it, depending on his wife.
"The other half of the public is out, you two have worked hard." Father Wang said.
Brother Xing looked at his sister-in-law, who smiled and waved her hands and said yes.
With money, there is confidence. The atmosphere of the Wang family's New Year is harmonious, and everyone is easy to talk to.
Early the next morning, Brother Xing went to Xiaotian to read the letter first, and first took care of things for Zhou Zhou.Last night the driver of the rented mule cart stayed at his house, brother Xing and Wang Shitou didn't sleep well, so the box was placed on the bed of their kang to watch.
It's done early and I feel at ease.
Four letters, one from Mrs. Zhao, and two books attached.One is from the Gu family.Oda smoothed it out.Wang Shitou took it and sent it to Gu's and Mrs. Zhao's.
There were two remaining letters from the Li family and the Wang family, and Xiao Tian opened them and read them.
"...Brother Zhou Zhou said that the longevity lock is for Jiuyue. From now on, the Li family and the Gu family will give birth to a daughter or elder brother with a longevity lock."
"Everything is fine with his family in Beijing, don't worry."
"Master Gu said that there is a snowstorm in Ningxi Prefecture, so let our village save more food and not sell it all."
Wang Shitou said: "Master Gu has to talk to the village chief when he says something." Because the harvest in the fields is good, every household saves their own food and loves to sell grain for money. It's better to keep some.
He opened the letter from the Su family.
"This is a letter from the four children of the Su family. Brother Zhou Zhou wrote it. He said he gave them names. Now they are Su Jiayu, Su Jiaying, Su Shiyi, Su Shijian..."
"These 60 taels are 15 taels for each of the four children, all earned by working in Beijing."
Li Zhouzhou was paid one tael of silver a month. The business started in April. By the end of the year, it was eight taels.
Later, Zhou Zhou said that he would write a letter back to the village, and asked the four of them if they had anything to say. The four of them were embarrassed, and the last words were: 15 taels of silver for the family, and the rest they want to buy for their uncle/cousin thing.
This is the wish of the four people, and they discussed it together. Li's shop is in charge of food and housing, Zhou Zhou's cousin/uncle treats them well, eats and drinks casually, and changes into new clothes as soon as winter comes. Of course, we must do our best. up.
When it was time to write the letter, Li Zhouzhou thought about it, but he still didn't fully explain the truth. He just followed the tone of the four of them and said that he would go back with his wages and that everything was fine in Beijing, and he didn't mention the matter of giving gifts to his family. .
One is that Li Zhouzhou did not want money for the four children.
The second is the three families of the Su family. Except for the family of Su Gouwa, the second room, the other two families are still poor. Say this to avoid trouble.
Later, Li Zhouzhou told the four of them that there was no need to buy expensive gifts, some peanuts and melon seeds would be enough, and the rest of the money would be saved, and he needed to have money on his own, so he would not be afraid to go out?
The four of them were ignorant, but they all listened to their uncle/cousin and kept the money.
Let’s just say that now, there is a total of 80 taels of silver, 60 taels are the wages sent back by the children of each family, and the remaining 20 taels are Li Zhouzhou’s two-year support money to Su Gouwa’s family.The Li family gave three years of money before going to Beijing, and now there is one year left in the past two years, and this time they will give two more years, that is three years of money.
In fact, if it is to save trouble, Li Zhouzhou can do it for ten years in one breath, but Gu Zhao said that the poor are prone to accidents when they become rich. The Su family is not a family in the village. Su Jiaying took back 15 taels, which is enough for 35 taels.
Brother Xing later took out another ten taels, last year's five taels and this year's five taels, and asked Xiaotian to write a letter to record that he would pay half of the money every year.
Oda's belief is over, and it's time to do the work.
Brother Xing went to his mother's house with a long life lock.Wang Shitou made a trip to Dongping Village.
Liu Huaxiang was naturally happy to see Brother Xing came back. Guangzong and his wife warmly entertained him. Brother Xing sat down and drank some hot tea, then took out a floral cloth bag from his pocket and put it on the table.
"What?" As soon as Liu Huaxiang took it apart and took a look, her eyes were straightened, and she sneaked a look at the door, but she didn't see her brother-in-law, so she said in a low voice, "You're going to die, you shouldn't buy it even if you have money." This longevity lock, if your sister-in-law of the Wang family finds out, she will not make trouble with you, and you will not be able to live in the Wang family."
Liu Huaxiang thought Brother Xing paid for it.
This longevity lock looks like it was worn by a child, and her family has no children except the granddaughter.Brother Xing didn't buy it for Yuan Yuan, why would you use her house to show off what you bought for Yuan Yuan?Brother Xing is not a fool.
Brother Xing listened to his mother's words, although he scolded him, he was still happy in his heart. His mother was thinking about him, and said: "It's not me, Zhou Zhou bought it from Jingli, and the flowery appearance in Beijing is for Jiuyue. Yes, mother, you can turn the back, and there is still the name of September."
Liu Huaxiang couldn't read, but she was happy to turn it over, feel the pattern, and show it to her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Why did you buy a silver medal? Hey, the Longevity Lock in Beijing, the design is beautiful." Liu Huaxiang praised and praised.
Guangzong's daughter-in-law couldn't get close enough to see it, so she had to go over and let her mother-in-law hold her to watch.
"Zhou Zhou said that in the future, any girl in the Li family and the Gu family will be given a longevity lock. Male dolls will not be treated like this. Mom, you don't know. .”
"That's right. At that time, Zhou Zhou gave birth to Fubao. Just look, who's name is Fubao in these ten miles and eight villages, and we are the only one." Liu Huaxiang bragged to his daughter-in-law, who also became a mother-in-law. Yes, I naturally know that my daughter-in-law has always wanted a boy doll, and she also wants a male grandson, but she doesn't have to be like a nightmare, and promises in front of her all day long: Mother, I will be the next designated boy, and Guangzong and I will work hard Continue to live.
Liu Huaxiang was almost tired of hearing it.
"See, wear it for September to have a good year, and if you are afraid of losing it after the next year, pick it up again." Liu Huaxiang explained to the eldest daughter-in-law, don't worry about her granddaughter.
Brother Xing didn't know what his sister-in-law's temper was. After all, he had been doing business outside. Listening to what his mother said, he beat the side drum and said: "This is a gift from Mr. Gu. Blessed are the officials. Wear it for a while in September. September Alright, I can bring the back doll with me.”
Guangzong's daughter-in-law immediately responded repeatedly, and then returned to the house with the longevity lock and cried with envy. She was happy, she gave birth to her daughter, how could she not love it? When a girl is born, her mother is unhappy, and she is unhappy with her sister-in-law if she has nothing to do.
She is afraid.
As soon as Guangzong's daughter-in-law left, Brother Xing took out a bag from his arms, which was for his mother, "I bought this, and my mother-in-law also got a pair. If you want to brag, you can brag, and I will tell you about it." Mother-in-law said it."
Brother Xing knows that his mother likes to brag and show off.
Liu Huaxiang took it apart and saw that it was a pair of silver earrings. She immediately ironed the earrings with enthusiasm. She was so happy that she wished she could wear them and go to Uncle Wang's house in the village to buy tofu to show off.In fact, for a whole year afterwards, Li Er's family ate tofu.
Dongping Village on the other side.
Mrs. Zhao was so moved by the book that he didn't mention it. After reading the letter, he told the third room of the Gu family that the child's name was Gu Yang, and told about the family who gave birth to a girl.
There is no rush to reply.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, his grandson Zhao Ze failed the election and failed to be a scholar, so he had to borrow Mr. Gu's good words.Zhu Xiucai also came back from the prefectural government school. Because the time was up, he failed the rankings again and again, and now he is studying at home.
Afterwards, the couple went over the mountains to Su's house, gave money and made it clear, and also brought New Year's goods, which were some dried fruits.The eldest son of the Su family is the youngest son and the grandson of the grandchildren went to two people, and now they get 30 taels, the second room is the money from the anchorage and Su Jiaying’s salary, plus the two and a half years’ money from brother Xing, which is 45 taels, a total of [-] taels .Now I don't need to pay for four years of affiliated.
Only the third house is small, and there is only one person, only 15 taels.
Sanfang saw that the eldest brother and the second brother had taken a lot of money, and immediately regretted it, and immediately said that it would be okay to send the two to Beijing?
"No more, Zhou Zhou didn't say he wanted people, so there are enough people." Brother Xing pushed.
Later, Su Gouwa, the second roommate, saw that the third brother regretted it, so she paid five taels, and said, "Third brother, you start the spring with these 20 taels to build the house first, and Shuanzi will return the money later."
"Well, now it's up to Shuanzi. If I had known, I would have sent another one like the eldest brother." There is no brother in his family, either a son or a girl, and the girl can't send it over, right?My son Su San couldn't bear it anymore, because he is a big guy who can grow crops and has strength.
Sorry now, it's too late.
Let's talk about Kyori.
After returning from Senior Brother Liang, Fu Bao got many toys, among them was a goldfish lamp, which Fu Bao couldn't put down. He fondled the little fish's head with his little hands and was reluctant to put it down.
The outside of the little goldfish lamp is made of paper, and the skeleton is made of bamboo. When running, the tail and head of the fish will shake, as if the little fish is moving. According to the teacher, it was made by Brother Liang himself.
Gu Zhao was surprised, he didn't expect Brother Liang to be very good at making toys.
"I've done it before, the rabbit's small fish, I paste the small fish better." Liang Zizhi said.
Sun Mu patted Fu Bao's head affectionately, "Fu Bao likes small fish, so next year, Fourth Grandpa will give Fu Bao a bunny."
"Yes, the teacher is good at making rabbits, but the teacher doesn't do it anymore." Liang Zizhi didn't expect the teacher to have such a taste. When he made fish lanterns before, the teacher didn't mention it.
Seeing Fu Bao today, the teacher must have thought of Ming Yuan.
When seeing off the guests, Sun Mu thought for a while and said, "Ziqing, do you want to teach Fubao to be enlightened?"
"Fubao is only two years old. I'm waiting for two years. Let him have fun first." Gu Zhao was talking about his real age. After he finished speaking, he saw that the teacher's face was a little sad, but he didn't want to ask carefully.
Come to celebrate the New Year today, the teacher and the senior brother saw Fubao, they really love to take care of them, but Gu Zhao always felt that the two of them sometimes expressed some other feelings of missing by taking care of Fubao.
It is not specified, but it is everywhere.
After getting into the carriage, Fu Bao held Xiao Yu in his arms, and the carriage was about to move, Gu Zhao said: "Put Xiao Yu aside, be careful not to drop Xiao Yu."
When Fu Bao heard that he would drop the little fish, he put it away.
"Look, Daddy."
"Good father, I'll show you." Gu Zhao agreed.
Li Zhouzhou hugged Fu Bao in his arms, and asked, "Are you sleepy? Today Fu Bao didn't take a nap and played all day."
Fu Bao shook his head and said he was not sleepy, but in the next second he covered his hands with his hands and yawned.
Li Zhouzhou started to laugh, and Fu Bao leaned into his father's arms and said in an inarticulate voice: "Father, uncle's house is fun ~ hello uncle, hello fourth grandpa~"
"Then I'll be free, next time Dad will bring you over." Gu Zhao agreed.He came to hand in his homework. For Fubao's sake, the teacher should be gentler with his homework poems, right?
When I got home, it was already dark, and Li's house lit a lamp.
When Fang Liu opened the door, Li Xia also came out, saluted, and picked up his wife and young master at the side of the carriage, Gu Zhaoxian got out of the carriage, and Li Zhouzhou handed the sleeping Fubao to the husband, and then stepped on the pedal He got down from the stool and saw that Li Xia was honestly standing beside him and didn't know what to do.
Pass the small fish lantern over.
"Take this to my dad in the backyard."
Li Xia got a job, so the restraint and honesty are light. He took the lantern and just walked two steps, thinking that something was wrong, he backed away, stood by the door, waited for the master, wife and young master to go in, and then followed up with the lantern .
When Li Zhouzhou saw him, he felt that although Li Xia was a bit dull, he could teach.
Gu Zhao also noticed it, and turned around and said to Zhou Zhou: "Meng Jianyun asked Fang Liu to take a look at it for a while." Don't leave it at home for now, let's train it according to the way of a young driver and housekeeper.
After thinking about the housekeeper, he thought about Meng Jianyun's temper as a child, and silently crossed it away.
After entering the house, he changed his clothes, put Fubao on the bed for a while, and tidied everything up. Fang Liu called back and told what happened today.
"Going back to Mrs. Madam, I bought the plums. It's snowing this winter. Xiaomeng and I went there, and we were only hanging on our breath. It was so cold. Her old lady just said a tael of silver and took it away." Fang Liu didn't even want it anymore, it wasn't a matter of money or not, could it be that a dead person would be brought back on New Year's Eve?
But Xiao Meng was stubborn, saying that if his wife wanted to buy it, he had to buy it before he died.
Fang Liu immediately said: "Are you using Madam's words to block me, is it your own selfishness that caused such trouble for the Lord's family, or is it true that you are loyal and follow Madam's words?"
Meng Jianyun bit his lip and looked at Fang Liu with his eyes.
"My words don't make sense? It's thirty years old. If your old lady is still alive, can you drag the dying person into the house? I have to beat you. Don't look at my bad words, I also talk to you You are the same, my house was flooded at that time, the whole village was drowned, our sisters, brothers, parents and grandparents added up to more than ten people, now only me and my brother are left to depend on each other."
Fang Liu didn't know whether the child would listen or not, so he went in to persuade him, and said, "Ma'am, you are not a relative of your mother, but a relative. Now you are an orphan, and they have designated you to avoid you, lest you go to his house to eat." For his family, you have accumulated hatred and resentment in your heart all day long, but it’s not the old lady who owes you, so it’s okay to save you or save the bad one?”
"I don't hate Mrs. Master." Meng Jianyun said bluntly: "I know Master has a good heart. At the beginning, no one believed me and said that I killed my roommate. Only Master asked me if I killed him or not."
He said he didn't kill him, and the master believed it.
"I just didn't avenge my brother, I'm not willing." Meng Jianyun has been hanging on his chest all his life, unable to get out, "As soon as I close my eyes, it is my brother, lying naked in the snow, Not a single piece of clothing was left, the flesh on his body was uneven, and there were teeth marks..."
Fang Liuyi fell silent when he heard this. He thought that Brother Xiao Meng was beaten to death when he was robbed of steamed buns. During a disaster, it is expensive to eat in one bite. It is normal to get red-eyed after arguing, and it is normal to die after arguing. this kind of thing.
Meng Jianyun wiped his eyes with the back of his hand resentfully, his eyes were red, and he said: "I know everyone thinks I'm a bad and cheap person, but I know in my heart that good or bad, the master and wife bought me, and my life will be ruined." It belongs to the Li family, so you don't need to tell me here."
"Hey you kid." Fang Liu saw that the child was serious, and he was a little bit bloody at a young age. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he just said: "Then if someone coaxes you in the future, saying that they know who hurt your elder brother , where are you now, I want you to do something that betrays the Lord—”
"Relax!" Meng Jianyun gritted his teeth and said.
Fang Liu didn't force it anymore, and Xiao Meng gave the answer.In the end, Fang Liu still bought someone, just one tael of silver, and when he took him back, Fang Liu said: "I didn't force you. Remember, my child. I used to be a house slave. The master can't do it stabbing a knife, if there is no Patriarch, a life will be gone, this is the life given by the Patriarch, forget about the past, and live a good life is serious."
"Are you Li Jianu?"
"No, I'm free now." Fang Liu followed the little Mengti who was on the shaft next to him: "I worked as a slave in another family for more than ten years, and then I ran into something I couldn't say. Miss me serving for so many years, I was kicked out."
"If the Li family and the Qian family choose now, then I will naturally choose the Li family. Although I am not a slave of the Li family, but I am paid by the Li family. I have to be loyal in whatever I do, so that I can last for a long time."
Meng Jianyun didn't speak, but hummed.
I went back to look for the doctor but couldn't find it. The doors were closed on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, Li's house had medicinal materials, and Li Da brought out some, such as typhoid fever, external application to stop bleeding, and frostbite medicine.
The plums just took a breath, Li Da made the decision, took the medicinal materials for treating typhoid fever and fried them for Lan Mama, and poured them first.Mother Lan handed the medicinal materials to Li Xiaao, and asked, "Is it possible to decoct the medicine? Slowly decoct the medicine on a low fire, three bowls of water to one bowl of water..."
Li Xia remembered it.
Mother Lan boiled hot water and took it to the house to change the girl's clothes and wipe them clean. As soon as she took off her clothes, the fainted man grabbed the collar tightly and muttered what she didn't want. Mother Lan saw too much. This looks a bit smart, but life was difficult all the way, so he immediately coaxed him to clean up and change into clean clothes.
The blue-haired mother hesitated, she was a girl after all, but if she had lice and slept on this kang, then she and Li Xia wouldn't run away, how could she cook and serve others?
As long as it was against the owner of the family, Mother Lan didn't hesitate and was immediately hanged.
When Li Xia brought the medicine, she was shocked when she saw the short and messy hair of the girl on the kang.
"Xiao Xia, remember, not to mention her hair, even her life was picked up by the Li family. If her life is not good and she can't survive, the Li family will also take a tael of silver. If she survives, she will be lucky." Well, that's the one who takes care of Li's family, how can you take care of people when there are lice?"
"Once it is bad for the master, there is no hesitation."
After Lan's mother explained, Li Xia remembered it in her heart. This person is too honest, like a lump of elm, she remembered what she said, and did it exactly, so she hurriedly said: "But there is one more thing you should remember. , that means the master of the Li family is the master, we servants can't go over and make things for the master, do you understand?"
Li Xia was confused, Mother Lan said she didn't hesitate to treat the master's family badly, but she also said that she wanted the master to make up her mind, so what would he do?
"The medicine is dry enough to be imported, give it to me first." Mother Lan took the medicine, opened the plum mouth with one hand and poured it down.
A bowl of medicine has been completely filled, which shows that Lan Mama has used this method a lot before.
At the end, Mother Lan put the person on a flat surface and got off the kang before she said, "Look at whether the girl twisted her hair or not. Come on, the two of us are busy with kitchen work and have to enter the courtyard, what if it is passed on to Mrs. Madam?"
"It won't work. I twisted it for her. The bad thing is her hair. I can make the decision. When she wakes up, if she hates me, then she will hate me. I'm afraid she won't be a little girl." Blue My mother is also confident, just seeing that the mansion has bought someone, but she knows the kitchen and the work in it.
Madam bought it because she was worried about these things, let her teach it.
"You learn slowly later and you will know."
The result was not much later, Li Xia fried another bowl with medicine dregs, and Mother Lan was still wondering, but later I heard from Li Xia that the newly bought Xiaomeng had a fever——
"I didn't even realize it? It's true or not." Mother Lan muttered in disbelief, she saw that Xiaomeng was working very neatly, and this morning she even asked her to carry firewood and water, but she didn't seem to be doing anything.
Li Xia said in a soft voice: "The Ya people in Yahang froze Xiao Meng Bansu before, I think his face is not sweaty, he works diligently, mother Lan, what you said, if he gets the wind and cold It won’t be good if it’s Mrs. Madam.”
"Yes, you give him the medicine to drink first, I'll tell Madam later." Mother Lan asked Li Xia to go, and when the master, wife, and young master returned home, Mother Lan replied and said what happened today, and she finished speaking in a few words .
Meizi scrubbed and fed medicine.
Xiao Meng seemed to have a fever, so he also fed him a bowl, Li Xia saw it.
Li Zhouzhou heard this, and said to let the two raise them for two days first, and Li Xia too, don't arrange heavy work, work hard for Lan Mama first, you and Fang Liu have been busy with work so far this year, and it may be postponed for a few days, in a few days I will give you two a day off to go back.
This year there is no meat and meat from the Eighth Prince, so Li Zhouzhou made red envelopes, and Mother Lan and Fang Liu each had three or two.
Buy what you want to eat yourself.
This is four months' wages, and the two of them immediately expressed their gratitude, so naturally there was nothing unwilling, anyway, it was only a two-day holiday late, and there was nothing to do when they returned.
As soon as the people left, Li Zhouzhou said: "I see that Li Xia is quite careful and honest, just wait a little longer and let Mother Lan teach me..."
You can put Fubao's bedroom vigil.Gu Zhao thought so too.
Good guy, I bought three people, and the only one I can use now is Li Xia.
Brother Xing knew why, a letter came from Beijing more than half a month earlier, and this time he delivered a wooden box that was quite heavy. The head of the caravan handed the key to Shi Shi and said: "The old man handed it to me that day. Yes, there are two books, four letters, two purses, one with a long-life lock, and one with 80 taels of silver, you guys have made it clear."
Why did you install 80 taels of silver?Brother Xing was startled, how come he brought so much here, he is not afraid that the money will be taken away by the caravan people, but he dare not show it, Mo is still in charge.
Opening the box in front of Mo's boss, everything was checked, and nothing was missing.
Brother Xing was a little ashamed, feeling that he was narrow-minded, he couldn't stop thanking Mr. Mo, and sent him a lot of lo mei.
Director Mo simply accepted the lo-mei, and before leaving, he said, "Master Gu was at home when I picked up the things, and I told you at the time that if your son and wife want to copy those two books, you can copy them, it's nothing."
The Li family is kind-hearted, especially Mr. Gu, who also gives favors to relatives in this prefecture and county.
Wang Shitou and his wife sent Mo Zhangshi out, and sent Yuan Yuan to the private school the next day and brought books with them, saying that it was the book sent back to the village master by Mr. Gu in Beijing, and Yuan Yuan could also copy it.
The "Two Exams in Three Years" series is very popular in Beijing. Almost every scholar has a copy, and then it spreads slowly. Now the logistics is slow. The first volume is also available in Wannan Prefecture and Ningping Prefecture, but it is expensive and extremely rare. Very sought after.
The second volume of "Bath of Holy Grace" is not available in Ninh Binh Prefecture.
Master Yuan Yuan was so excited when he saw the cover of "Three Years and Two Examinations", his hands were trembling, tears filled his eyes immediately, Brother Xing was startled, why, why did he cry?Is this book so powerful?
Not only is it powerful.
Those were the books compiled by the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, and there were also articles written by several Hanlin masters.Looking at the second book again, he almost fainted from tears of joy, but he recovered later, holding the two very precious books, rubbing the cover, and muttering about the benevolence of Mr. Gu.
The book was copied by Mr. Yuan Yuan, and when returning the book, Mrs. Yuan Yuan's wife sewed a small schoolbag for Yuan Yuan, explaining that she would not need Yuan Yuan's repair money next year, and gave her a box of snacks made at home. .
Brother Xing once again felt that being an official is good.
Don't talk about Brother Xing, Wang Shitou didn't understand it before, thinking that it would be good for them to make a living by doing business and earn more food, and what good is being an official, and studying costs money, but now he doesn't think so.
Mo Zhangshi runs errands every year to bring things, and there is no shortage of things. The reason, it must not be because the two of them are doing business and cook delicious food, but it is the relationship between Mr. Gu in Beijing.
When I sent Yuan Yuan to my master, although I didn’t pick and choose his family Yuan Yuan, they were not straight in business. Every time Xing Geer or him went to pick up Yuan Yuan, they didn’t dare to enter. Waiting at the door, why Master Yuan Yuan's attitude has changed so much now, it is also because of Mr. Gu.
Now Wang Shitou must study well to become an official.
Not much to say, now that the family has packed up and locked the courtyard door, Brother Xing is holding the box in person. There are 80 taels sent back from Beijing, and the more than 100 taels his family earned this year. He is scared Tight, I was worried all the way, thinking that it would be better to buy a mule cart, so that it would be convenient and safe to go back later.
We set off early and did not dare to walk at night. It was already dark when we arrived in the village.
The Wang family is warmly entertaining. The sister-in-law Xu’s hot water has been boiled. In the past few days, the children have been waiting for the door to go back to the village road to watch, just waiting for the uncle and aunt to come back. The car came to his house, and everyone ran back to call grandma and grandma, and uncle and aunt came back.
Before the mule cart arrived, the Wang family came out and began to meet them.
Yuan Yuan was carried out of the car, surrounded by his elder brothers and sisters, they rarely asked how Yuan Yuan's prefecture was, and Yuan Yuan followed his elder brothers and sisters to talk.
"Go play in the yard." Brother Xing took out a box of snacks from Mrs. Yuan Yuan's house and let the children play while eating.
The adults unloading things are all New Year's goods bought by Brother Xing.
Only Brother Xing, the wooden box, didn't let go, and said: "I brought it back from Beijing. I'll ask Xiaotian to read the letter tomorrow. Is Xiaotian back?"
"We'll be there two days earlier." The Wang family's mother-in-law didn't move.
After eating and resting that day, the accounts were settled first, and the family gathered together. Wang Shitou took out the wooden box. When he opened it, the Wang family was dumbfounded. Why are there more than last year?
"Business is good during the Chinese New Year. Shitou and I hired two small workers, and we earned 20 taels in just a few days."
Excluding the original, Xinggeer and his wife earned 170 taels of silver in the prefecture and county this year.
"I thought about giving money to Su Gouwa's family before Zhou Zhou. It was dependent money. Our family did business because of Zhou Zhou's favor. Zhouquan paid for it." Brother Xing discussed with his mother-in-law, "I'll take the money."
The mother-in-law of the Wang family must have no objection. This half of the money is 86 taels, which is more than eating in the field. It is because the second wife has worked hard outside. She is sure to do it, depending on his wife.
"The other half of the public is out, you two have worked hard." Father Wang said.
Brother Xing looked at his sister-in-law, who smiled and waved her hands and said yes.
With money, there is confidence. The atmosphere of the Wang family's New Year is harmonious, and everyone is easy to talk to.
Early the next morning, Brother Xing went to Xiaotian to read the letter first, and first took care of things for Zhou Zhou.Last night the driver of the rented mule cart stayed at his house, brother Xing and Wang Shitou didn't sleep well, so the box was placed on the bed of their kang to watch.
It's done early and I feel at ease.
Four letters, one from Mrs. Zhao, and two books attached.One is from the Gu family.Oda smoothed it out.Wang Shitou took it and sent it to Gu's and Mrs. Zhao's.
There were two remaining letters from the Li family and the Wang family, and Xiao Tian opened them and read them.
"...Brother Zhou Zhou said that the longevity lock is for Jiuyue. From now on, the Li family and the Gu family will give birth to a daughter or elder brother with a longevity lock."
"Everything is fine with his family in Beijing, don't worry."
"Master Gu said that there is a snowstorm in Ningxi Prefecture, so let our village save more food and not sell it all."
Wang Shitou said: "Master Gu has to talk to the village chief when he says something." Because the harvest in the fields is good, every household saves their own food and loves to sell grain for money. It's better to keep some.
He opened the letter from the Su family.
"This is a letter from the four children of the Su family. Brother Zhou Zhou wrote it. He said he gave them names. Now they are Su Jiayu, Su Jiaying, Su Shiyi, Su Shijian..."
"These 60 taels are 15 taels for each of the four children, all earned by working in Beijing."
Li Zhouzhou was paid one tael of silver a month. The business started in April. By the end of the year, it was eight taels.
Later, Zhou Zhou said that he would write a letter back to the village, and asked the four of them if they had anything to say. The four of them were embarrassed, and the last words were: 15 taels of silver for the family, and the rest they want to buy for their uncle/cousin thing.
This is the wish of the four people, and they discussed it together. Li's shop is in charge of food and housing, Zhou Zhou's cousin/uncle treats them well, eats and drinks casually, and changes into new clothes as soon as winter comes. Of course, we must do our best. up.
When it was time to write the letter, Li Zhouzhou thought about it, but he still didn't fully explain the truth. He just followed the tone of the four of them and said that he would go back with his wages and that everything was fine in Beijing, and he didn't mention the matter of giving gifts to his family. .
One is that Li Zhouzhou did not want money for the four children.
The second is the three families of the Su family. Except for the family of Su Gouwa, the second room, the other two families are still poor. Say this to avoid trouble.
Later, Li Zhouzhou told the four of them that there was no need to buy expensive gifts, some peanuts and melon seeds would be enough, and the rest of the money would be saved, and he needed to have money on his own, so he would not be afraid to go out?
The four of them were ignorant, but they all listened to their uncle/cousin and kept the money.
Let’s just say that now, there is a total of 80 taels of silver, 60 taels are the wages sent back by the children of each family, and the remaining 20 taels are Li Zhouzhou’s two-year support money to Su Gouwa’s family.The Li family gave three years of money before going to Beijing, and now there is one year left in the past two years, and this time they will give two more years, that is three years of money.
In fact, if it is to save trouble, Li Zhouzhou can do it for ten years in one breath, but Gu Zhao said that the poor are prone to accidents when they become rich. The Su family is not a family in the village. Su Jiaying took back 15 taels, which is enough for 35 taels.
Brother Xing later took out another ten taels, last year's five taels and this year's five taels, and asked Xiaotian to write a letter to record that he would pay half of the money every year.
Oda's belief is over, and it's time to do the work.
Brother Xing went to his mother's house with a long life lock.Wang Shitou made a trip to Dongping Village.
Liu Huaxiang was naturally happy to see Brother Xing came back. Guangzong and his wife warmly entertained him. Brother Xing sat down and drank some hot tea, then took out a floral cloth bag from his pocket and put it on the table.
"What?" As soon as Liu Huaxiang took it apart and took a look, her eyes were straightened, and she sneaked a look at the door, but she didn't see her brother-in-law, so she said in a low voice, "You're going to die, you shouldn't buy it even if you have money." This longevity lock, if your sister-in-law of the Wang family finds out, she will not make trouble with you, and you will not be able to live in the Wang family."
Liu Huaxiang thought Brother Xing paid for it.
This longevity lock looks like it was worn by a child, and her family has no children except the granddaughter.Brother Xing didn't buy it for Yuan Yuan, why would you use her house to show off what you bought for Yuan Yuan?Brother Xing is not a fool.
Brother Xing listened to his mother's words, although he scolded him, he was still happy in his heart. His mother was thinking about him, and said: "It's not me, Zhou Zhou bought it from Jingli, and the flowery appearance in Beijing is for Jiuyue. Yes, mother, you can turn the back, and there is still the name of September."
Liu Huaxiang couldn't read, but she was happy to turn it over, feel the pattern, and show it to her eldest daughter-in-law.
"Why did you buy a silver medal? Hey, the Longevity Lock in Beijing, the design is beautiful." Liu Huaxiang praised and praised.
Guangzong's daughter-in-law couldn't get close enough to see it, so she had to go over and let her mother-in-law hold her to watch.
"Zhou Zhou said that in the future, any girl in the Li family and the Gu family will be given a longevity lock. Male dolls will not be treated like this. Mom, you don't know. .”
"That's right. At that time, Zhou Zhou gave birth to Fubao. Just look, who's name is Fubao in these ten miles and eight villages, and we are the only one." Liu Huaxiang bragged to his daughter-in-law, who also became a mother-in-law. Yes, I naturally know that my daughter-in-law has always wanted a boy doll, and she also wants a male grandson, but she doesn't have to be like a nightmare, and promises in front of her all day long: Mother, I will be the next designated boy, and Guangzong and I will work hard Continue to live.
Liu Huaxiang was almost tired of hearing it.
"See, wear it for September to have a good year, and if you are afraid of losing it after the next year, pick it up again." Liu Huaxiang explained to the eldest daughter-in-law, don't worry about her granddaughter.
Brother Xing didn't know what his sister-in-law's temper was. After all, he had been doing business outside. Listening to what his mother said, he beat the side drum and said: "This is a gift from Mr. Gu. Blessed are the officials. Wear it for a while in September. September Alright, I can bring the back doll with me.”
Guangzong's daughter-in-law immediately responded repeatedly, and then returned to the house with the longevity lock and cried with envy. She was happy, she gave birth to her daughter, how could she not love it? When a girl is born, her mother is unhappy, and she is unhappy with her sister-in-law if she has nothing to do.
She is afraid.
As soon as Guangzong's daughter-in-law left, Brother Xing took out a bag from his arms, which was for his mother, "I bought this, and my mother-in-law also got a pair. If you want to brag, you can brag, and I will tell you about it." Mother-in-law said it."
Brother Xing knows that his mother likes to brag and show off.
Liu Huaxiang took it apart and saw that it was a pair of silver earrings. She immediately ironed the earrings with enthusiasm. She was so happy that she wished she could wear them and go to Uncle Wang's house in the village to buy tofu to show off.In fact, for a whole year afterwards, Li Er's family ate tofu.
Dongping Village on the other side.
Mrs. Zhao was so moved by the book that he didn't mention it. After reading the letter, he told the third room of the Gu family that the child's name was Gu Yang, and told about the family who gave birth to a girl.
There is no rush to reply.
Mrs. Zhao sighed, his grandson Zhao Ze failed the election and failed to be a scholar, so he had to borrow Mr. Gu's good words.Zhu Xiucai also came back from the prefectural government school. Because the time was up, he failed the rankings again and again, and now he is studying at home.
Afterwards, the couple went over the mountains to Su's house, gave money and made it clear, and also brought New Year's goods, which were some dried fruits.The eldest son of the Su family is the youngest son and the grandson of the grandchildren went to two people, and now they get 30 taels, the second room is the money from the anchorage and Su Jiaying’s salary, plus the two and a half years’ money from brother Xing, which is 45 taels, a total of [-] taels .Now I don't need to pay for four years of affiliated.
Only the third house is small, and there is only one person, only 15 taels.
Sanfang saw that the eldest brother and the second brother had taken a lot of money, and immediately regretted it, and immediately said that it would be okay to send the two to Beijing?
"No more, Zhou Zhou didn't say he wanted people, so there are enough people." Brother Xing pushed.
Later, Su Gouwa, the second roommate, saw that the third brother regretted it, so she paid five taels, and said, "Third brother, you start the spring with these 20 taels to build the house first, and Shuanzi will return the money later."
"Well, now it's up to Shuanzi. If I had known, I would have sent another one like the eldest brother." There is no brother in his family, either a son or a girl, and the girl can't send it over, right?My son Su San couldn't bear it anymore, because he is a big guy who can grow crops and has strength.
Sorry now, it's too late.
Let's talk about Kyori.
After returning from Senior Brother Liang, Fu Bao got many toys, among them was a goldfish lamp, which Fu Bao couldn't put down. He fondled the little fish's head with his little hands and was reluctant to put it down.
The outside of the little goldfish lamp is made of paper, and the skeleton is made of bamboo. When running, the tail and head of the fish will shake, as if the little fish is moving. According to the teacher, it was made by Brother Liang himself.
Gu Zhao was surprised, he didn't expect Brother Liang to be very good at making toys.
"I've done it before, the rabbit's small fish, I paste the small fish better." Liang Zizhi said.
Sun Mu patted Fu Bao's head affectionately, "Fu Bao likes small fish, so next year, Fourth Grandpa will give Fu Bao a bunny."
"Yes, the teacher is good at making rabbits, but the teacher doesn't do it anymore." Liang Zizhi didn't expect the teacher to have such a taste. When he made fish lanterns before, the teacher didn't mention it.
Seeing Fu Bao today, the teacher must have thought of Ming Yuan.
When seeing off the guests, Sun Mu thought for a while and said, "Ziqing, do you want to teach Fubao to be enlightened?"
"Fubao is only two years old. I'm waiting for two years. Let him have fun first." Gu Zhao was talking about his real age. After he finished speaking, he saw that the teacher's face was a little sad, but he didn't want to ask carefully.
Come to celebrate the New Year today, the teacher and the senior brother saw Fubao, they really love to take care of them, but Gu Zhao always felt that the two of them sometimes expressed some other feelings of missing by taking care of Fubao.
It is not specified, but it is everywhere.
After getting into the carriage, Fu Bao held Xiao Yu in his arms, and the carriage was about to move, Gu Zhao said: "Put Xiao Yu aside, be careful not to drop Xiao Yu."
When Fu Bao heard that he would drop the little fish, he put it away.
"Look, Daddy."
"Good father, I'll show you." Gu Zhao agreed.
Li Zhouzhou hugged Fu Bao in his arms, and asked, "Are you sleepy? Today Fu Bao didn't take a nap and played all day."
Fu Bao shook his head and said he was not sleepy, but in the next second he covered his hands with his hands and yawned.
Li Zhouzhou started to laugh, and Fu Bao leaned into his father's arms and said in an inarticulate voice: "Father, uncle's house is fun ~ hello uncle, hello fourth grandpa~"
"Then I'll be free, next time Dad will bring you over." Gu Zhao agreed.He came to hand in his homework. For Fubao's sake, the teacher should be gentler with his homework poems, right?
When I got home, it was already dark, and Li's house lit a lamp.
When Fang Liu opened the door, Li Xia also came out, saluted, and picked up his wife and young master at the side of the carriage, Gu Zhaoxian got out of the carriage, and Li Zhouzhou handed the sleeping Fubao to the husband, and then stepped on the pedal He got down from the stool and saw that Li Xia was honestly standing beside him and didn't know what to do.
Pass the small fish lantern over.
"Take this to my dad in the backyard."
Li Xia got a job, so the restraint and honesty are light. He took the lantern and just walked two steps, thinking that something was wrong, he backed away, stood by the door, waited for the master, wife and young master to go in, and then followed up with the lantern .
When Li Zhouzhou saw him, he felt that although Li Xia was a bit dull, he could teach.
Gu Zhao also noticed it, and turned around and said to Zhou Zhou: "Meng Jianyun asked Fang Liu to take a look at it for a while." Don't leave it at home for now, let's train it according to the way of a young driver and housekeeper.
After thinking about the housekeeper, he thought about Meng Jianyun's temper as a child, and silently crossed it away.
After entering the house, he changed his clothes, put Fubao on the bed for a while, and tidied everything up. Fang Liu called back and told what happened today.
"Going back to Mrs. Madam, I bought the plums. It's snowing this winter. Xiaomeng and I went there, and we were only hanging on our breath. It was so cold. Her old lady just said a tael of silver and took it away." Fang Liu didn't even want it anymore, it wasn't a matter of money or not, could it be that a dead person would be brought back on New Year's Eve?
But Xiao Meng was stubborn, saying that if his wife wanted to buy it, he had to buy it before he died.
Fang Liu immediately said: "Are you using Madam's words to block me, is it your own selfishness that caused such trouble for the Lord's family, or is it true that you are loyal and follow Madam's words?"
Meng Jianyun bit his lip and looked at Fang Liu with his eyes.
"My words don't make sense? It's thirty years old. If your old lady is still alive, can you drag the dying person into the house? I have to beat you. Don't look at my bad words, I also talk to you You are the same, my house was flooded at that time, the whole village was drowned, our sisters, brothers, parents and grandparents added up to more than ten people, now only me and my brother are left to depend on each other."
Fang Liu didn't know whether the child would listen or not, so he went in to persuade him, and said, "Ma'am, you are not a relative of your mother, but a relative. Now you are an orphan, and they have designated you to avoid you, lest you go to his house to eat." For his family, you have accumulated hatred and resentment in your heart all day long, but it’s not the old lady who owes you, so it’s okay to save you or save the bad one?”
"I don't hate Mrs. Master." Meng Jianyun said bluntly: "I know Master has a good heart. At the beginning, no one believed me and said that I killed my roommate. Only Master asked me if I killed him or not."
He said he didn't kill him, and the master believed it.
"I just didn't avenge my brother, I'm not willing." Meng Jianyun has been hanging on his chest all his life, unable to get out, "As soon as I close my eyes, it is my brother, lying naked in the snow, Not a single piece of clothing was left, the flesh on his body was uneven, and there were teeth marks..."
Fang Liuyi fell silent when he heard this. He thought that Brother Xiao Meng was beaten to death when he was robbed of steamed buns. During a disaster, it is expensive to eat in one bite. It is normal to get red-eyed after arguing, and it is normal to die after arguing. this kind of thing.
Meng Jianyun wiped his eyes with the back of his hand resentfully, his eyes were red, and he said: "I know everyone thinks I'm a bad and cheap person, but I know in my heart that good or bad, the master and wife bought me, and my life will be ruined." It belongs to the Li family, so you don't need to tell me here."
"Hey you kid." Fang Liu saw that the child was serious, and he was a little bit bloody at a young age. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, so he just said: "Then if someone coaxes you in the future, saying that they know who hurt your elder brother , where are you now, I want you to do something that betrays the Lord—”
"Relax!" Meng Jianyun gritted his teeth and said.
Fang Liu didn't force it anymore, and Xiao Meng gave the answer.In the end, Fang Liu still bought someone, just one tael of silver, and when he took him back, Fang Liu said: "I didn't force you. Remember, my child. I used to be a house slave. The master can't do it stabbing a knife, if there is no Patriarch, a life will be gone, this is the life given by the Patriarch, forget about the past, and live a good life is serious."
"Are you Li Jianu?"
"No, I'm free now." Fang Liu followed the little Mengti who was on the shaft next to him: "I worked as a slave in another family for more than ten years, and then I ran into something I couldn't say. Miss me serving for so many years, I was kicked out."
"If the Li family and the Qian family choose now, then I will naturally choose the Li family. Although I am not a slave of the Li family, but I am paid by the Li family. I have to be loyal in whatever I do, so that I can last for a long time."
Meng Jianyun didn't speak, but hummed.
I went back to look for the doctor but couldn't find it. The doors were closed on New Year's Eve. Fortunately, Li's house had medicinal materials, and Li Da brought out some, such as typhoid fever, external application to stop bleeding, and frostbite medicine.
The plums just took a breath, Li Da made the decision, took the medicinal materials for treating typhoid fever and fried them for Lan Mama, and poured them first.Mother Lan handed the medicinal materials to Li Xiaao, and asked, "Is it possible to decoct the medicine? Slowly decoct the medicine on a low fire, three bowls of water to one bowl of water..."
Li Xia remembered it.
Mother Lan boiled hot water and took it to the house to change the girl's clothes and wipe them clean. As soon as she took off her clothes, the fainted man grabbed the collar tightly and muttered what she didn't want. Mother Lan saw too much. This looks a bit smart, but life was difficult all the way, so he immediately coaxed him to clean up and change into clean clothes.
The blue-haired mother hesitated, she was a girl after all, but if she had lice and slept on this kang, then she and Li Xia wouldn't run away, how could she cook and serve others?
As long as it was against the owner of the family, Mother Lan didn't hesitate and was immediately hanged.
When Li Xia brought the medicine, she was shocked when she saw the short and messy hair of the girl on the kang.
"Xiao Xia, remember, not to mention her hair, even her life was picked up by the Li family. If her life is not good and she can't survive, the Li family will also take a tael of silver. If she survives, she will be lucky." Well, that's the one who takes care of Li's family, how can you take care of people when there are lice?"
"Once it is bad for the master, there is no hesitation."
After Lan's mother explained, Li Xia remembered it in her heart. This person is too honest, like a lump of elm, she remembered what she said, and did it exactly, so she hurriedly said: "But there is one more thing you should remember. , that means the master of the Li family is the master, we servants can't go over and make things for the master, do you understand?"
Li Xia was confused, Mother Lan said she didn't hesitate to treat the master's family badly, but she also said that she wanted the master to make up her mind, so what would he do?
"The medicine is dry enough to be imported, give it to me first." Mother Lan took the medicine, opened the plum mouth with one hand and poured it down.
A bowl of medicine has been completely filled, which shows that Lan Mama has used this method a lot before.
At the end, Mother Lan put the person on a flat surface and got off the kang before she said, "Look at whether the girl twisted her hair or not. Come on, the two of us are busy with kitchen work and have to enter the courtyard, what if it is passed on to Mrs. Madam?"
"It won't work. I twisted it for her. The bad thing is her hair. I can make the decision. When she wakes up, if she hates me, then she will hate me. I'm afraid she won't be a little girl." Blue My mother is also confident, just seeing that the mansion has bought someone, but she knows the kitchen and the work in it.
Madam bought it because she was worried about these things, let her teach it.
"You learn slowly later and you will know."
The result was not much later, Li Xia fried another bowl with medicine dregs, and Mother Lan was still wondering, but later I heard from Li Xia that the newly bought Xiaomeng had a fever——
"I didn't even realize it? It's true or not." Mother Lan muttered in disbelief, she saw that Xiaomeng was working very neatly, and this morning she even asked her to carry firewood and water, but she didn't seem to be doing anything.
Li Xia said in a soft voice: "The Ya people in Yahang froze Xiao Meng Bansu before, I think his face is not sweaty, he works diligently, mother Lan, what you said, if he gets the wind and cold It won’t be good if it’s Mrs. Madam.”
"Yes, you give him the medicine to drink first, I'll tell Madam later." Mother Lan asked Li Xia to go, and when the master, wife, and young master returned home, Mother Lan replied and said what happened today, and she finished speaking in a few words .
Meizi scrubbed and fed medicine.
Xiao Meng seemed to have a fever, so he also fed him a bowl, Li Xia saw it.
Li Zhouzhou heard this, and said to let the two raise them for two days first, and Li Xia too, don't arrange heavy work, work hard for Lan Mama first, you and Fang Liu have been busy with work so far this year, and it may be postponed for a few days, in a few days I will give you two a day off to go back.
This year there is no meat and meat from the Eighth Prince, so Li Zhouzhou made red envelopes, and Mother Lan and Fang Liu each had three or two.
Buy what you want to eat yourself.
This is four months' wages, and the two of them immediately expressed their gratitude, so naturally there was nothing unwilling, anyway, it was only a two-day holiday late, and there was nothing to do when they returned.
As soon as the people left, Li Zhouzhou said: "I see that Li Xia is quite careful and honest, just wait a little longer and let Mother Lan teach me..."
You can put Fubao's bedroom vigil.Gu Zhao thought so too.
Good guy, I bought three people, and the only one I can use now is Li Xia.
