Aotian the domesticated miniature dragon

With the medicine box on his back, Lu Qianhai and his little apprentice, the medicine boy, returned to Wuying Village after a long absence in a carriage.

The Lu family in the east of the village has been rebuilt again, and it has been enlarged a lot. It is a big tiled house of blue bricks.The workshop has also been moved to another open space in the village, and the scale has also expanded. Now there are more than a hundred people working in the workshop every day. The village is surrounded by the aroma of various sauces, which makes the mouth water. Falling.

Today's Wuying Village is already a well-known wealthy village, but Wuying Village has changed its name to Fengxiang Village.This was agreed by the whole village, after all, there was a queen in this village.

This is the queen, the mother of a country!What an honor!

But the old people are still used to calling this place Wuying Village, but they will show off to outsiders very proudly: There is a queen in our village, do you know who the current queen is?That is from our village!

But now there is no distinction between the Lu family in the east of the village and the Lu family in the west of the village. When everyone mentions the Lu family, it basically only represents the Lu family that has a sauce workshop and a queen.As for the Lu family in the west of the village, the old house has long been in ruins, and Lu Datian and Lu Zhang's family have also left one after another in the past two years. The eldest grandson Lu Qianting of the family came to hold a funeral for the broken pot, and then sold the remaining old house.He originally wanted to sell the old house to his second and third uncles, but neither of the two uncles was willing to take over.

Because for them, what the old house carries is not the father's kindness, filial piety, kindness and happiness, but the endless quarrels and suffocating depression.

In the end, the old house and the yard were sold to a military household who moved in from outside, and there was no Lu family in the west of the village since then.

As for Lu Guangfu and Lu Guangcai, because they got close to Lu Guangming and their children had always had a good relationship, they are now considered relatives.However, although the Lu family had a queen, their family did not feel superior to others because of this incident.The daughters and brothers of these families are all married to ordinary small rich families with good family traditions, and the boys are also married to daughters-in-law who are sensible, diligent and able to support the family business, and live a very loving life.

Back then, Lu Qianhai had passed the examination as a scholar and did not go up the examination. Instead, he entrusted his "brother-in-law" relationship to enter the palace, and learned pharmacology from the imperial physicians.At the age of 28, he left the palace again and began to travel around, looking for intractable diseases for treatment, and even prevented two extremely dangerous infectious diseases. When I was 30 years old, I wrote two books on the prevention and treatment of common family diseases, and now it has become the most popular medicine in Dazhao.Even if it is a very remote village, someone will copy this medical technique and post it at the entrance of the village, and read it every day for future needs.

Some people even carved a small statue of Lu Qianhai and enshrined it at home, calling it the God of Medicine.

Lu Qianhai already has a thick layer of golden light of merit, but he is still running around conscientiously. Every time he leaves home, he will only return for a year or two. Now he is 35 years old, but time has treated him very favorably. The God of Salvation Medicine, he looks only 27 or [-] years old, tall and handsome, not at all like those old doctors with beards.

However, it seems that Lu Qianhai is not the only one who has been treated preferentially by the years, and everyone in the Lu family seems to have been treated preferentially.Zhou and Lu Guangming are already in their 60s, but they are still sharp and healthy.Especially Mrs. Zhou, no matter how well she dresses up on weekdays, she still looks like she is in her 40s.

Because Lu Qianshan became the queen, Lu Guangming was also given the title of duke and named Zhong Guogong.However, the Duke of the State is very Buddhist, so he has been living in the village, and all the big families in the capital who came to propose marriage have refused, for fear that their children will be bullied in the past.Even with his uncles, Lu Qianfan inherited the family's sauce workshop, and on weekdays he went to farm with the long-term workers.Not to mention Lu Qianhai, if he didn't send letters back frequently, no one would know where he was.As for the youngest, Lu Qiancheng, he did not become an official after being elected, but entered Jiuxiao College as a teacher. He strengthened his second brother's belief in literacy, and adopted many orphans. My wife is diligent in teaching and educating people.

As for the young men of Lu Guangcai and Lu Guangfu, although they had studied, they did not become officials in the court. Lu Qianfeng fell in love with going to sea. A lot of nautical charts and countless manuscripts left behind, adding bricks and tiles to the prosperous age of Dazhao.Lu Qianshu and Lu Qianling didn't have the ability, but they were just small landlords at home. As long as the granary was full, they were loving with their wives, their children were happy, and their small life was happy.

When Lu Qianhai entered the house, he saw Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun sitting under the big apple tree at home, guarding a few little great-grandchildren, reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness.

"Mother, auntie." Lu Qianhai greeted.

Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes and said, "You still know you're coming back? It's been more than half a year since you left. I thought you'd already forgotten about your parents, your wife, your children."

Lu Qianhai chuckled, handed the medicine box to the little apprentice, and reached out to pick up the baby who was swaying over, "Oh, the balls are so big? Did you call fourth uncle?"

Xiaowa showed her millet teeth, all she could do was laugh.

Mrs. Zhou went over to pick up the baby, and said, "Your wife's wine shop is there, why don't you go and have a look."

Lu Qianhai laughed again.The daughter-in-law he married was a wine brewer at home, and she brought a few wine prescriptions as a dowry after she married.Lu Qianhai prepared medicinal wine based on the wine recipe, coupled with the fruit wine recipe given by Lu Qianshan, the business was impressive.

This wine shop is the same as the sauce shop. The sons and daughters of the Lu family have a share, especially the wine shop. Even Lu Jinlin, the daughter married to Lu Guangcai's family, also has a share. They can get a sum of money every month.It is also because of this that as long as a married girl has enough confidence, her own man is absolutely not allowed to take a concubine, and she is not afraid of her mother-in-law.

It's just that something went wrong in Lu Qianyou's marriage back then. Their family style seemed to be good, but they didn't expect that the continuation mother-in-law was only interested in being good to her own child, and always wanted to go to her mother's house.At first, Lu Qianyou endured it. After all, she and her husband were very affectionate, but after she endured it once, she gave in countless times, and finally she couldn't bear it and proposed to divorce.

The mother-in-law still wanted to make a fuss, so for the first time, Zhou put on the airs of Mrs. Guo and went to the door, slapped the mother-in-law, and came back with her daughter.In the end, he didn't expect Lu Qianyou's husband-in-law to come out without leaving the house, and came directly to him.

The young couple built a house directly next to their mother's house, and their life was much better than before.That man was finally admitted to Juren and became an official, and took Lu Qianyou and the children to take up the post. He went out for six years, and was transferred back to the capital after being rated as excellent. Now he is the only one of the Lu family who has settled in the capital. up.

Mrs. Zhou asked the family servant to help Lu Qianhai change his clothes, watched his son hurried out, and said to Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun: "Hey, in a blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much. These little ones are all the same as they used to be. Almost the same size."

Both Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun have close ties, especially Mrs. Sun, who hurt her body after giving birth to a child and never got pregnant again. This has always been a problem in her heart.It's just that now that I'm older, my children have already married and established businesses, and have grandchildren, and the oldest grandson has children now.

"At that time, I only thought about how to have enough food every day, how to ask for two dollars from my mother-in-law to make a new dress for the children, and worry about the future dowry of my son and daughter. Days?" Mrs. Sun touched her great-grandson who was sleeping in a small cradle beside her, with a loving face.

Mrs. Zhao said: "Isn't it? At that time, a few young people went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and they didn't dare to bring them back. They just found a broken earthen pot and cooked them to fill their stomachs. Obviously the family still has money, and the children of their own But she couldn't eat well or dress well, and I don't know how she survived at that time. To be honest, she..." She was referring to Mrs. Lu Zhang, "When she lived at Sister Zhou's house, I really What’s more, I wish I could live there for the rest of my life, so that I could at least have a full meal in those two years, and I would not hear a lot of scolding.”

Mrs. Zhou smiled bitterly and said: "Hey, don't talk about it, the old man and I were really confused by lard in those two years. Now that I think about it, I feel sorry for my children. But if it weren't for the two of you who helped me sneak I've done a lot of work, well, I won't talk to you two now."

Mrs. Zhao laughed for a while and said, "Guilty, my sister and I are both guilty. Seeing your family suffer, I just want to help you. If it weren't for the two years that I felt blessed, I wouldn't be able to do it. My family’s thoughts. Fortunately, I have been separated. My heart is wide open after the separation. My old man also said that even if he doesn’t eat well or wear clothes, he won’t be scolded, nor will his children be scolded. I feel like there is hope for this day.”

"Isn't it?" Mrs. Sun also sighed, and said, "When she opened her mouth, my heart pounded and I couldn't wait to pass. At that time, some people said that the old house had bad feng shui, and I still muttered about it. Raising three scholars? But looking at it now, isn’t Feng Shui bad?”

Zhou said: "What is Fengshui and Fengshui? Their family just doesn't know how to raise children. We watched Qianting's child grow up, right? He was so sensible when he was young. Look at what he looks like when he grows up? With the three daughters in their family, I can tell that as long as she loves her, she hasn't grown well. Those who don't love her...Look at you, aren't they all over the top?"

Sun said: "You can't say that. Uncle Wu is actually pretty good. It's good to marry a wife. Didn't she put Uncle Wu at the top? But it's reasonable for me to look at his wife. , although hiding from work, but whatever delicious food is given at home, we secretly give it to our children to taste. When I encountered that incident, she still sent a few slices of ginseng, otherwise..."

Mrs. Zhao nodded and said: "Yes, it's no wonder that the fifth son ran to the old man's house and never came back. The old man is so kind to him, and there are not so many troubles at home. I heard your boss said that he saw him in the south. He is fifth uncle, although he is only a petty official, he looks pretty good."

Mrs. Sun nodded and said: "Yes, I just didn't say a few words. Now that the old man is gone again, he is completely gone."

Zhao said: "It's just that I don't know where the fourth child's family has gone."

Lu Guanghui had a message before, but gradually he didn't believe it anymore.He didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and he never came back when Lu Datian and Lu Zhangshi left.Otherwise, according to his temperament, the old house would not fall into Lu Qianting's hands.

Zhou said: "This man, you need to have a little vision and a lot of experience. It's not easy to live in this life. At the beginning, I dared to think that my family could have such good luck? Now our family is getting closer. I can often go to the capital to stay for a few days, and live the life of the people in the capital. I am content. Before, many officials’ wives asked why my children were not officials. Why? My children were not officials. Guess what, what if it's not good enough to embarrass their second brother? Speaking of this, your family Jin Lin is really good, she has been a capable girl since she was a child, and she is very careful."

Zhao smugly smiled.

Lu Jinlin is the tallest married sister among these sisters. That family is the direct line of a high-ranking official in the capital. Lu Jinlin was oppressed and ridiculed by her sister-in-law when she first got married, but within a year she turned over and became the head of the family. Ma'am, make the whole family obedient, old and young, inside and out.Now she is also living the life of a rich wife who wears gold and silver and goes out in a sedan chair.Moreover, it is said that her man is also a powerful person, who controls the economy for the prince, and discusses things with Lu Jinlin on weekdays, and has never blushed or quarreled.

Lu Jinlin gave birth to a brother in the first year of her marriage, but the family was not happy about it, so they just brought a few concubines back for her man.But Lu Jinlin didn't make a fuss, just pretended not to see it, and when the man came back, the concubines were sent to the kitchen by her man as soon as they entered the house, and they were sold out not long after.

When that brother grew up, his personality followed Lu Jinlin's, his intelligence followed his father's, and he was also interested in military art.Later, she married a young general and was stationed at the border with the army. It is said that she developed agriculture and animal husbandry in that bitterly cold place, which actually boosted the economy of that place a lot, and was rewarded by the emperor several times.

Later, Lu Jinlin gave birth to a daughter and two sons to her family, and they both taught her quite well.

As for the youngest brother of the Zhou family, he married a good friend of Lu Qianfeng's, and often went out to sea with him, and did not go home all year round.

Although Mrs. Zhou misses her children, she also knows that the children will gain a lot of knowledge every time they go out, because they see more and hear more, and they are no longer the kind of villagers who are trapped at home and don't understand anything.Because of this, Zhou and Lu Guangming heard a lot of anecdotes. These anecdotes made her very popular among the wealthy wives in Beijing. Every time she came to Beijing, she would receive many posts inviting her to drink tea and enjoy the flowers. In order to hear her say things that I have never seen before.

Sun smiled and said: "No, people are always stuck at home, people are stupid. Just like before, we have to discuss with our mother-in-law for a long time when we go out on weekdays. Eight out of ten times we can disagree. So , We thought that being a daughter-in-law might have to be like this, or that a daughter-in-law has to suffer to become a mother-in-law? I have to suffer. But now I don’t think so, I won’t let my daughter-in-law suffer that. Others If the family is good enough to raise a big girl and a little brother, it is definitely not for them to marry into their husband's family and suffer."

After saying this, the elder sisters all laughed.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Are you smiling so happily?" Zeng Hongmei came back with a big bowl of duck eggs in her body covered in sauces. Listen."

The puddle that their family owned back then has been enlarged a lot, and now ducks are raised.Ducks mature early, and can lay eggs for slaughter in half a year.Now some ducks are sent to the county, some are made into sauced ducks for takeaway, and some ducks are specially laid eggs, which are brought back to be pickled. The workers are given a salted duck egg welfare every ten days, which is quite popular.

Zhou said with a smile: "Let's say that life is better now. Thinking about the past, it's like a joke. I don't know how it came out."

Zeng Hongmei laughed. Although she lives in the village now, she is still the wife of the head of the house, and her husband is still a prince, so she will be looked up to wherever she goes.But even so, Shi Zi and Shi Zi's wife still do farm work, and they feel uncomfortable if they don't work for a day.

"What do you want to do? It's not annoying enough. Mom, when will Shanshan come back?" Zeng Hongmei asked.

A few days ago, I received a letter saying that the queen would go back to her mother's house to stay for a few days, but they were not allowed to make any noise, for fear of making trouble.Mrs. Zhou has already prepared, just waiting for her son to come back.The Zhou family always thought that it would be troublesome for their son to go out of the palace after becoming a queen, but they didn't know that Lu Qianshan traveled thousands of miles a day, wandering back and forth between the capital and Jiuxiao Mountain all the year round, feeling very comfortable.

And every once in a while, Lu Qianshan would quietly go home and stay for a while.Family affection has become something that he has never let go of in his life, and only when he returns home can he feel that kind of complete relaxation.

Even if he became a queen, his parents still regarded him as a child, and in order to avoid trouble for him, they seldom lived in the capital and did not allow a few children to enter the officialdom.On the contrary, this deed made many scholars admire him greatly, and gave him a high regard as the queen.

Zeng Hongmei said: "The last time I went to Beijing, didn't Shanshan say that he likes to eat the sauced duck made by our family? I specially picked out a few fat ducks and kept them alone, and I will give him the sauce when he comes back. Also, the ducks on the mountain The fresh fruits are all ripe, and I circled some of the best ripe fruit trees."

They recently heard rumors that the emperor plans to pass the throne to the crown prince, and her family Shanshan is going to change from a queen to a queen mother, and it will be even more troublesome to go out in the future.So every time Lu Qianshan came back, the family would try their best to bring out the best things for him to eat.

Mrs. Zhao said: "Oh, the last time Shanshan came back, I looked the same as before, not looking old at all. No wonder the emperor loves him so much. Shanshan is getting older, but he is getting older and older. It looks better."

Sun said: "No, look at us two again, our hair has turned gray a lot. Look at Sister Zhou, what else is she called, she looks like a younger sister."

Mrs. Zhou laughed, "Don't say that, go out and see, who is the same age as you and has a little gray hair? Let's save worry, and don't look old if you don't worry."

The days are getting better and better, the children are all promising, and there is no such thing as other people's brains playing out their dog's brains for some family property, so how can we not worry about it?

Fortunately, we separated...

Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Sun glanced at each other, and they both got up and said, "This time when Shanshan comes back, we have to cook some special dishes for Shanshan, so that Shanshan can praise us well, and it will be a bit of a bargain."

"Praise, you can boast." Zhou laughed again, and the older sisters laughed and laughed, even the big apple tree in the yard shook its leaves and rustled.It seemed that he also smiled happily.

The author has something to say: The temperature dropped yesterday, and I was recruited again...

At seven or eight o'clock in the afternoon, I was cold all over. I thought it was freezing, but it turned out to be a low-grade fever.

Fortunately, after sleeping all night and sweating, I was almost fine in the morning.

It's already June, and it's still cold, so depressing!

Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
