Chapter 113: Lu Pheasant's Virtuous Empress (3)

"If you have to go, you can harvest our family's rice, dry it in the sun, and I'll make you something to eat and take it with you." Otherwise, there is no money and food for you to take on the road, and you can't go all the way to your father! ”

Lu Pheasant (that is, Han Ruo) saw that Mrs. Liu was here, she was not Liu Fei's mother after all, and she was too strict and easy to fall into her mouth, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Fei still feels very aggrieved, where has he beaten rice since he was a child! But he didn't dare to argue with Lu Pheasant, so he tugged on Mrs. Liu's sleeve and pulled it hard.

"Your mother is right, you have grown up, you are a head taller than your mother, you should know how to share a little for the family." Liu Taigong stood clearly on Lu Pheasant's side. As a woman, it is not easy for Lu Pheasant to take on the livelihood of the family. If you are tired and lie down, the family will drink the northwest wind?

Liu Fei didn't dare to say anything more, picked up the coarse porcelain rice bowl, and drank the rice in one go.

Lu Pheasant (that is, Han Ruo) really didn't want to let Liu Fei go. In the previous life, the original owner let Liu Fei go, and the things at home were all pressed on himself, not to mention, the world was so chaotic, there was no strong labor at home, and some hooligans and gangsters would squat at the door from time to time and stare at themselves, and they would be followed and harassed when they went out to work.

If it weren't for the fact that the original owner carried a knife to protect himself wherever he went, those people wanted to take advantage of the original owner but didn't want to fight hard, and the original owner would have been innocent a long time ago.

Although Liu Fei can't do it, he is strong, and with him, those little gangsters at least don't dare to harass themselves openly. It's just that since he has the idea of leaving, I'm afraid he won't be able to stop for a while, and he has to grind with him.

Liu Feiren is as his name, he has grown a fat body, and he looks strong, but he doesn't have much strength. But because he was bent on going to Liu Bang, he was smarter, dragging his buddies who grew up together in open crotch pants to help, and promised to let his father arrange a better errand for these buddies after joining the army, and soon laid the three acres of rice of the old Liu family.

It's just that the grain yield is very low in these years, and three small jars of grain are produced on three acres of land. Lu Pheasant looked at the rice and estimated that it would only be enough for the family to eat for four months. Liu Bang's dead guy is also an official outside, he only eats and drinks spicy food, and he doesn't care if he can open the pot at home or not, and he has never brought a little property back to the family!

Thinking of this, Lu Pheasant's eyes suddenly lit up. Liu Bang doesn't bring things to the family, he can ask for it! The original owner is too strong and unwilling to drag his man's hind legs at all, he gritted his teeth and held on, but he tired himself into a yellow-faced woman, and his man hugged other warm nephrite all day long, and forgot her as the original partner.

The current Lu Pheasant is not so stupid! Bad men are used to it, and if they don't worry about it, they won't worry about it when a woman is tired. Lu Pheasant's family is well-off, and he has also read books, so he spent two copper plates, borrowed the pen and ink of a scholar who sold paintings on the street, wrote a letter to Liu Bang, and then asked his fellow villagers to bring it to him.

The letter talked about all the difficulties of the family. For example, this year's food can only be eaten for three months, and you have to repay the surplus grain borrowed from other people's families before; In the past two years, the family has made a set of clothes for the old father and Fei'er, and the old clothes that I, Le'er, and Ying'er have all wore, and the clothes are worn out and patched and continue to wear, and the one on my body has been patched with eight patches; I do heavy work every day, my skin is tanned, I don't have any money to buy rouge, Liu Bang doesn't care about himself anymore, and so on. At the end of the letter, he also complained faintly that there were a few thugs at the door who often wandered around, and he had to go out to work hard as a woman, Liu Fei still wanted to join the army, and he was very scared of a woman or something.

The thing that he was remembered by the hooligans was originally something that would have happened after Liu Fei left, but Lu Pheasant deliberately said this matter in advance, so as to make Liu Bang nervous.

When Liu Bang saw this letter, even if he didn't take it, he should have sent something back. Lu Pheasant decided to write a letter to Liu Bang to complain about his grievances as a long-term undertaking.

Liu Fei finished beating the rice, and he was still clamoring to join the army to find his father. Lu Pheasant told him about writing a letter to Liu Bang, saying that his father might send someone to pick him up and ask him to wait for news at home. That's when he stopped. At this time, Mrs. Liu fell ill again.

Mrs. Liu was very ill this time, with a fever and cough, dizziness and heaviness, and he couldn't get out of bed at all. After Lu Pheasant quietly checked his pulse, he found that it was not a serious illness, but the old man was in poor health, occasionally infected with wind and cold, and it was the season of change of seasons, the heat and cold were uneven, and the symptoms looked relatively strict. Although wind chill is a common disease, if it is not treated in time, it can also kill people in this era of particularly poor medical care.

Lu Pheasant was able to prescribe prescriptions by himself, saving Lang Zhong's consultation fees, but the money for buying medicine became a problem. Nowadays, the world is chaotic, and the price of medicinal materials and food is very expensive, even if it is an ordinary medicinal material, it often costs forty or fifty copper plates to grab a pair. Mrs. Liu's disease requires at least five pairs of medicine to be cured. Lu Pheasant helped people wash clothes for a day, and only earned three copper plates, where did he get so much money?

In order to supplement the family, the original owner pawned his dowry almost as much, leaving only a phoenix pattern inlaid with gold ice jade jade bracelet passed to her by her mother, the style is simple and generous, and the price is expensive at a glance. In the previous life, in order to catch medicine for Mrs. Liu, the original owner took out this jade bracelet, and later became a queen, but when he wanted to find it back, he couldn't find it.

Lu Pheasant in this world does not intend to do this again. She found the largest pharmacy in town, Baicaotang, and called their shopkeeper directly.

The shopkeeper of Baicaotang's surname is Yao, round and chubby, looking kind on the surface, but his eyes are shrewd and calculating.

When he saw a woman in an old linen garment standing at the counter, he felt a little displeased. What could a poor woman do with him? Credit? In these years, there is a shortage of soldiers, and as soon as the person who takes credit leaves, where are you going? These new guys are too eyeless, and they have to trouble themselves for this kind of thing, so they have to teach a good lesson when they go back.

Shopkeeper Yao is sophisticated, although he was unhappy, he still had a smile on his face and said, "I don't know what Madame is looking for me?" ”

As soon as Lu Pheasant saw this shopkeeper Yao, he nodded secretly. I'm not afraid that he will calculate, but I'm afraid that he won't calculate.

"That's the case, I can't open the pot at home recently, and my ancestors have handed down a recipe, I want to sell it for five taels of silver, I wonder if the shopkeeper Yao is interested?"

"Five taels of silver is not a small amount, I don't know what kind of recipe has been passed down from Mrs.'s family?"

Shopkeeper Yao looked at the "loser girls" in front of him with great interest, she looked very smart, but her brain was obviously not good. Ancestral prescriptions are enough to share in the pharmacy, and they can raise a family, and she only sells a few taels of silver, which is really a loser. A woman is a woman, with long hair and short insight.

Lu Pheasant automatically ignored the disdain in the eyes of Shopkeeper Yao. Why didn't she know that the prescription could be shared? It's just that she is a woman, and there is no man around to protect her, so if she wants too many things, it will cause others to worry, but it will not be safe. It's better to exchange a few taels of silver, although it is a loss, but it is enough for your family to save some money for two years, and it will not let others have the idea of making money and killing people.

"A recipe for pain. You can let the guys go out first, and I'll make a pair of pills myself and give it a try. ”

"Good!" Shopkeeper Yao waved his hand and led the guys from Baicaotang to close the door of the pharmacy storage room, and Lu Pheasant tossed inside.

He was not at all afraid that the woman would deceive him. A female streamer, if he dares to lie to him, he has the means to make her pay. If you don't lie to him, you'll make a fortune.

Before there was time for tea, Lu Pheasant opened the door and let them in, holding a bag of medicine in his hand. She had already observed the lattice of the medicine storage during the time she was waiting for Shopkeeper Yao to go downstairs just now, so the speed was relatively fast.

But Shopkeeper Yao's face darkened. So fast, doesn't this woman really dare to fool herself, right?

He took the packet of pills and opened it to see that it was only the size of a baby's palm.

"How does this medicine work?"

"Mix it with soju and apply it to the wound."

"Is that enough?" Shopkeeper Yao couldn't help frowning.

"As long as the effect is good, is quantity a problem? This medicine is enough for you to dig out an arrow for a soldier who has been hit by an arrow without making him feel pain. Lu Pheasant replied confidently.

"Really? Then give it a try! ”

Shopkeeper Yao had someone grab a white rabbit from behind, cut its hind legs with a dagger, and sprinkled it with the powder mixed with soju. The white rabbit was running around on the ground in a panic, but he didn't run after a few steps, and stayed there quietly.

Shopkeeper Yao found another guy who burned his hand during the manufacturing process and tried it, and it didn't hurt after using the medicine.

The shopkeeper Yao was overjoyed, but quickly covered it up, afraid that the other party would sit on the ground and raise the price after seeing it.

Lu Pheasant didn't see it. She is here to suffer today, as long as she can get through the difficulties in front of her, not to mention these.

"Madame, have you thought about it? We can help you with this prescription, but once the transaction contract is signed, you can't go back. Shopkeeper Yao was happy in his heart, but he still reminded the woman in front of him pretendingly, lest she come to the door again after knowing that she had suffered a loss.

"I've thought about it, but I want one more thing."

"What is it?" Shopkeeper Yao said with a calm face. He thought that he had disguised himself well, but the other party still sat on the ground and raised the price. It doesn't matter, this prescription is bound to be obtained by herself, if she wants too much, it is a big deal to agree in person and snatch it back behind her back. Her family is so poor that she wants to sell her ancestors, and she must have no power.

Lu Pheasant pretended not to see the ruthlessness that flashed in the eyes of Shopkeeper Yao, and secretly congratulated himself that he only asked for a few taels of silver, and did not ask for anything to be shared.

"I also need five pairs of medicines for common typhoid fever."

"No problem. If you sit down for a while, I'll have someone write a contract, get money, and give you medicine. As soon as Shopkeeper Yao heard that she only wanted something less than one or two pieces of silver, he immediately ordered his subordinates to do things with a smile, as if she would regret it.

Lu Pheasant took back the medicine and cured Mrs. Liu. She took one tael of silver and exchanged it for copper plates, and hid the other four taels of silver. Now, you can give the two little ones a good patch.

It didn't take long for Liu Bang to reply and ask for fifty taels of silver. The silver was for Lu Pheasant, but the letter was for Liu Fei. Liu Bang told Liu Fei in the letter that the battlefield was too dangerous, and he was reluctant to let his son be injured, so he asked him to take care of the female dependents at home.

As soon as Liu Fei heard that there was danger, he didn't talk about joining the army anymore. He is because his father became an official and wants to follow the blessings, where does he really want to be a soldier? Stay and stay, anyway, my dad brought the money back, and the life at home will not be so bitter.

At this moment, Liu Bang, who was far away in Xiang Liang's army, was frolicking with two beauties in his arms. There is a brother Jianyì who took his family over, but when he thought that his wife was coming, he couldn't drink and have fun at will, and he felt unhappy.

However, Lu Pheasant's letter also said that there were hooligans hanging around their house. hooked up with other people's wives, Liu Bang himself did it. But no man can watch his wife being touched by someone else.

Liu Bang was originally in a dilemma, but as soon as he saw Liu Fei's name in the letter, he had an idea. There is no shortage of such a person under his subordinates, so let Liu Fei stay in his hometown. With a young man as big as Liu Fei at home, who would dare to bully him into cuckolding?

Liu Bang's idea was good, but he didn't know that his wife, who was far away from his hometown, had already estimated his mind clearly. Now Lu Pheasant has money and labor, and has bought three acres of land. She only does some light housework herself, and the heavy work is handed over to Liu Fei, and Liu Fei can't do it, so she asks someone to help. The salary is not much, and if there is no money, Liu Bang will ask for it (although there will be no money in the short term).

In this way, Lu Pheasant's leisurely landlord wife lived for more than two years, and Liu Bang finally sent someone back to pick them up.
