Chapter 44 Distribution of the Fruit of the Washing of the Marrow
"Your family is not going to Anping?" Jiang Xuanjun was a little surprised to learn the news that they were going to settle down in Cangwen Town.
Cui Jin explained to him: "The farmhouse in Anping has already been given to my uncle's family, and the Weichen family doesn't want to have too much to do with their family, so it's better to stay here." ”
The Qi family handed over Cui Jin to his brother to take care of him back then, and gave his brother a lot of money during this period. However, his brother spent all his money on his own family, and let Cui Jin go to the field to farm at a very young age, and refused to provide him with education, so that Cui Jin was illiterate when he was taken to the capital, and his rude behavior was often laughed at.
But no matter what, the Qi brother's family did not let Cui Jin live on the streets, let alone beat and scold him, so before Cui Jin left Anping, in front of the Qi family patriarch and others, all the Cui family's land and property were left to the Qi family, which was regarded as completely repaying the previous kindness. So much so that later Cui Jinfa was named the Hou Ye, and the Qi brother's family was embarrassed to come to the door again. However, relying on the names of the Qi family and Cui Jin, the Qi brother's family lived extremely smoothly in Anping, and they had already become a big local family.
"It turns out that there is another reason. Jiang Xuanjun didn't ask, he had another purpose for finding Cui Jin today.
"Gu's body and bones are much better now, and it seems that the marrow washing fruit they got from the Baili family is very useful. At this time, Jiang Xuanjun didn't know that Cui Zhiwei and they were going to the forbidden land of the Baili family, not the clan land.
"That's great. Cui Jin was sincerely happy for Jiang Xuanjun, and their visit to Xuyang this time was also worth it.
"I am grateful to your family for this matter. Jiang Xuanjun's words of gratitude also came from the bottom of his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, this is what the Weichen family should do. "After all these years, Cui Jin has learned a lot about some official things. After all, Qi and Wei Qiuniang are not ordinary, and he has learned a lot from Cui Zhixing.
"But there is still something Lone who doesn't know whether to say it or not?"
Cui Jin bowed, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to say." ”
"Master Hou doesn't need to be polite. I want you to discuss it with Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou to see if you can give the rest of the pulp washing fruit to Miss Lu?"
"Miss Lu?" Cui Jin hesitated.
Lone also knew that this request was a bit excessive, but Miss Lu had saved Lone, and she accompanied Lone to come here to wash the marrow fruit, and Lone wanted to repay her favor as soon as possible. ”
"Your Highness, please ask Rong Weichen to discuss this matter with his mother and wife before giving you an answer. ”
"This lone understands. ”
After Cui Jin went back, he not only went to call Qi with Wei Qiuniang, but also called several children over. Then in front of the whole family, he told everyone that the prince helped Lu Baizhi to wash the marrow fruit.
Hearing him say this, Cui Zhiwei was relieved. So he didn't hide it from everyone, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Lu is a medicine person, and she wants to use the marrow washing fruit to drain all the medicine in her body." ”
"How do you know this?" Qi asked.
"I found it the last time she rescued the prince's brother. She was sloppy about how she found out.
Cui Zhiyi asked curiously: "What is a medicine person? If she is covered with medicine all over her body, isn't it a treasure? Why do you still use the marrow washing fruit to drain the medicine in her body?"
Qi Shi didn't answer and asked: "Then what do you think the medicine is used for?"
"I drank it when I was sick!"
"If that girl is this medicine, you have to drink her blood when you are sick, will you drink it?"
Cui Zhiyi thought about that scene and felt cold, "I just don't take medicine, and I won't drink her blood." ”
"And what if you don't drink her blood and die?" Qi continued.
"And if I drink her blood, will she die?"
"Not at first, but over time it will be. ”
"Then I want to drink it too. ”
"Do you not want to drink it? Or are you sure you won't drink it? If you don't, you're going to die." If you die, you won't see us people. ”
"Grandmother means grandchildren have to drink?"
"It's not the meaning of the old body, but what do you think in your own heart? If you figure it out, you will know why she doesn't want a body of medicine. ”
The grandson seems to understand a little. It's just that without the medicine all over her body, she can still live. If she had this medicine, she would have to drink her blood from time to time, and in the end there would be no end to it. ”
"Well," Qi Shi nodded his head, "That's why Miss Lu wants this marrow washing fruit." ”
"That mother, shall we give her some?" Along the way, in addition to taking care of Jiang Xuanjun, Lu Baizhi also took a lot of care of their family. Don't look at Wei Qiuniang's temperament and Cui Jin are generally a little irritable, in fact, she is the most soft-hearted.
"How many of them picked these fruits, or how many of them were?"
"I listen to my sister. Cui Zhili was the first to speak.
Cui Zhiyi followed: "I also heard about it." ”
Cui Zhixing had no words, because he had no right to speak in this matter.
"What do you think of Zhiwei?" Qi Shi turned his gaze to Cui Zhiwei.
"Grandmother, if you want to wash the pith fruit for Miss Lu, I'm afraid it will be useless, and if you want to give it, you have to give at least half of it. Then you and your father, mother, and eldest brother can only share the remaining one. ”
Qi sighed, "You don't have to eat at this age." ”
"Mother, my son doesn't need to eat. Cui Jin felt that he was useless, and it didn't matter much whether he ate the marrow fruit or not.
"If my mother and husband don't eat it, then I won't eat it either, so I'll leave it to Zhixing. "In this way, it is fair for each of the three children to eat one.
"Grandmother, father, mother," Cui Zhixing stood up and bowed to a few people, "If you don't eat it, how can I be a junior to enjoy it exclusively?" and then said, "I just want to study hard now, and I will fight for our family as soon as possible, so it doesn't matter if I eat or not." ”
The reason why he had this idea was because almost everyone in the capital laughed at their family's origin, joked that their family was a bun, and laughed at their family's lack of knowledge. He is desperate to change this situation, and the only way to achieve fame is to gain fame as soon as possible. He has no intention of practicing martial arts, even if washing the pulp fruit can eliminate the impurities in his body and make him feel better, but it has little to do with the imperial examination.
"Grandmother, father, mother and eldest brother, don't be humble. Cui Zhiwei said, "A few of us have already tried to wash the pulp fruit, if we take one, it will be dangerous, and it is appropriate for the four of you to take a small sip." ”
Qi nodded, "Then let's listen to the subtleties, one person will take a small bite, and the rest will be given to Miss Lu." ”
In fact, even if Cui Zhiwei and a few of them did not agree to wash the pith fruit of Lu Baizhi, the Qi family would persuade everyone to agree. At her age, can't she see that the prince has a good impression of that Lu girl? Before, the prince's fear of life was not obvious, but now he speaks for her, how can it be as simple as repaying the favor?
