Luo Xiyu picked up the citrine silver chain, only to feel that the light outside was three points weaker, she gently stroked the red yellow luster on the citrine with her fingers, such as mercury flowing, her heart tightened for a while, thinking of something, only felt a little breathless.

She couldn't help touching the belly with one hand, the child was almost four months old, and the belly was already slightly bulging, although she couldn't see it from the outside, but she could feel the changes.

Luo Xiyu gently put down the crystal chain and looked away, as if sealing something that was unintentionally leaked again, since having this child, in order to sleep well, in order to be able to raise the fetus with peace of mind, in order to have strength and courage for himself.

She didn't listen, didn't want to think, pretended not to understand anything, and forgot everything about the East Prison, and only in this way could she start over again and spend every day in a happy mood.

However, some things are not discarded and can be discarded, but they can always stab her heart unexpectedly, making her pale and full of pain.

It is precisely because of this, such as love and hate, she thinks that what should be discarded should be discarded, otherwise it will always be a thorn and powerless □□.

Luo Xiyu stroked his stomach, gritted his teeth, and took the citrine chain.

Then use your hand to buckle the piece of citrine, such a heart-stinging thing, staying in your hand will only increase the pain, it is better to sell the silver to help more people, and its value is better than seeing things and thinking about people.

She thought about it while buttoning it, but the citrine was not inlaid, and she didn't know what material the silver chain was, so she couldn't buckle it off, and Luo Xiyu's fingers were red, and there were even faint traces of blood, and the citrine was still red and dazzling, like a ball of water flowing.

Luo Xiyu threw it to the ground with red eyes, took a deep breath, and told himself not to be excited, and the child, for the sake of the child, you can't affect it, don't think, don't think......

It wasn't until the middle of the night that he finally calmed down, got up and picked up the waist chain and locked it in the cabinet, hurriedly picked up the broken flower Fu Lu Shou bracelet, and then wrapped the cloth and stuffed it back into the cabinet.

Like this kind of floral floral Fulu Shou with scenery, it is extremely rare, and it is easy to shoot, basically the old ladies of some rich and noble families are too old, and it is most suitable to buy them as a gift.

Although there are some old and weak women and children in this Cheng house, but fortunately, the old man Cheng has been a talent for many years, and his son is in the capital, although he is dead, but the old man does not know about it, and he is a teacher.

Although they are rich in this Jiumu City, they are probably some cattle and sheep herding soil bodies earlier, and there is no cultural heritage.

Therefore, this lack of culture makes most of the Jiuwu people admire and envy the literati, and people also respect the gentleman who can read and hyphenate words, and some talented people, especially the old man Cheng who came back from the capital, and his words are still very weighty.

After all, the old man is not only a talent, but his son is a student in the capital, and he always looks forward to being like his son, who will enter Beijing to participate in the imperial examination in the future, and it is best to be an official, and it will be regarded as a glorious lintel when he returns to the old house in the future.

Therefore, this rich family in Jiumu City, who came to the door, Old Man Cheng knows more or less five or six percent.

If you release the news that it is sold for a friend, it is easy to sell.

After all, good things don't sell.

Old Man Cheng saw that Luo Xiyu was busy, not only going to see the house and shop with people during the day, but also writing and drawing on paper all day long, and now he was at the point of pawning his own jewelry, and he couldn't help sighing.

After three days, he finally came in with a stack of silver tickets without saying a word.

Luo Xiyu looked at the silver and suddenly felt that his mood was uplifted.

Just when there was a shortage of manpower, the two brothers and sisters who had encountered the robbers before finally found Cheng's house, and after the two brothers and sisters covered Luo Xiyu, they ran to the mountain, and kept hiding in the mountains, relying on some grain and grass roots to live, and soon went down the mountain.

The return of the two brothers and sisters made Luo Xiyu's pressure drop sharply.

In fact, in addition to the relocation, because of Cheng Lao, she doesn't need to worry too much, buy some slaves, buy vegetables and food, clean up the yard, and go smoothly step by step.

The most worrying thing is the pharmacy that Luo Xiyu is going to open.

The reason why he opened a pharmacy was that he wanted to make some money into his account, after all, the academy couldn't make much money at this time, because Luo Xiyu asked Cheng Lao to earn some little beggars under the age of ten, and it was enough to eat and live, and this kind of situation of not making ends meet could not last long.

Therefore, she needs to have silver in the account, and Luo Xiyu is only familiar with herbs and the like, which is also what she is more proficient in, because she understands it, she wants to do it, and this medicine shop also has the benefit of collecting merits.

She wants to set up some partial houses for the poor who can't afford to pay for medicine, so that they can be in arrears, or even collect very little money, or not collect, although they do not make money or even lose money, but the gain of merit will definitely not be less.

And the other normal charges in the pharmacy maintained a profit and loss.

Luo Xiyu didn't want to make a lot of money, her idea was to use the medicine shop to support the school, and when the school began to make a profit, and then use the school to raise the medicine shop, maintaining a balance with each other, the money earned did not need to be too much, as long as she could afford the slave's food, clothing, housing and transportation, it would be enough to support this big family.

And she still has a lot of money in her hand, so she doesn't panic.

The academy is a place where there will be no students in the future, and it is necessary to be upright, the layout of the whole house, lighting, the clothing, food, housing and transportation of students, and the environment for poetry and writing must be considered.

Luo Xiyu put in a lot of hard work, painted some of the arrangements, and invited skilled craftsmen to transform them.

After the New Year, it will soon be March in the spring, the green willows sprout, and in the busy, Chengqian College will stand up.

The name of the courtyard is carved in stone, and the four big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing are strong and powerful, and they are heroic and upright, which is exactly what the old man Cheng wrote.

Entering the bronze gate, the trees and willows inside, the pond pavilion is refreshing and delicate, the cobblestone path is paved, and the scenery can be seen everywhere on both sides.

The delicate poetry pavilion and writing pavilion are delicately engraved with floral patterns, plus small doors and a lobby that can be rolled up on all sides.

The bookstore is located in the bamboo forest, and the cool breeze in summer is blowing, and the sound of bamboo is very cool.

There is a row of bamboo huts not far from the patio, which can be used for showering in the hot summer, with several wooden barrels on top of it, so that the servants can fill it with water and bask for half a day, and then you can pull out the bamboo cork to take a shower, which is convenient and fast.

There is even a place for children to play, and there are some imitations of swings, turntables, stone animals, etc., for them to play when they are tired of studying.

On the whole, a large mansion has been rectified like this, and it suddenly looks both ancient and elegant.

You can't help but fall in love with this environment when you see it.

On the first day of construction, Luo Xiyu let the little beggars sleeping in the bunk next door live in the college, and a lot of rooms were built in the backyard there, which were specially used for the students who stayed overnight, and hot water and quilts were readily available.

The canteen is also manned, and breakfast, lunch and dinner are served every day.

The accommodation is free, but in addition to steamed buns, good food, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, etc., it costs money to buy, Luo Xiyu of course can't let these children develop the habit of only knowing how to ask and not pay.

Therefore, there is a work-study in the school, cleaning the yard, fetching water, tidying up the desks and chairs in the study, and paying two cents a day, so that you can get the task to get money to buy food and pen and ink.

Or, you can go to the back hall of the pharmacy to help roll medicine or some simple medicines, and you can get an article in half a day.

The school only teaches morning classes, and students can study and do tasks on their own in the afternoon.

In this way, they will not only develop the opportunity to get food and learn by themselves, but also know how to cherish it, and it can also alleviate some of the shortages.

On the first day, Mr. Cheng began to teach these children with great interest, teaching them the three characters of the family name, and everyone changed into new clothes for spring, which is the student clothes of the academy, clean and clean, two sets of clothes for one person.

The children's hair was also combed, and they sat in the bright school for a while, and they were all looking at the books in their hands excitedly, and the pile of paper for practicing calligraphy that they gave away for free.

All of them are very serious, even the four-year-old child listens seriously, even if he doesn't understand, he sits upright, and he doesn't make any tricks or cry.

For a while, the sound of reading could be heard at the gate of the college, and the passers-by stopped to watch for a long time, and some even looked around, and even watched, and many people with children at home couldn't help but want to go in and have a look.

After all, this house has been built for a long time, and I often see craftsmen coming and going, as well as transplanting trees, I really don't know what it has changed into, and when I see a row of children dressed in white, at this time, they are like elementary school children, neatly following behind Mr. Cheng, holding a wooden plate in his hand to receive food, walking out of the canteen, sitting in a built food pavilion, and then sitting down to eat.

The smell spread all over the streets.

No matter how much money this academy will lose when it opens, Luo Xiyu feels that it is worth it to free a child from the hopeless abyss and see the light ahead, and it is worth losing a lot of money, changing a person's future and changing the future of countless people, which will be a matter of immeasurable merit and cannot be measured by money.

And this thing must not only be done, but also done well, so whether it is clothing or accommodation, and food must not be sloppy.

In terms of eating, the amount is sufficient, and there are many patterns, she bought a good hand in the kitchen, every seven days a round, every day to set a meal schedule, strict implementation, children are growing when the body, nutrition can not be lacking, which is not only related to the physical condition of the child, but also so that the mind has a full supply of nutrition.

In the morning, the children will be given a goat milk, each person an egg, steamed buns, pickles and cold vegetables, at noon there must be meat, vegetable fried meat, chicken soup or braised pork, etc., in the evening is nutritious millet porridge and all kinds of rice porridge.

Compared with before, the food is one in the sky and the other in the earth, and it is not the same.

The children were simply crazy, they devoured their meals, they went back to their clean rooms, there was hot water supply, they could take a hot bath every three days, and they were all clean bedding, they threw themselves on their beds and quilts with joy, and the laughter spread throughout the college.

Since giving them the "job" of making money to buy pen and ink food, almost all the children in the academy can do are covered by these children, each of them has two kinds, each person has an income of four cents a day, because the first month of free food and housing, as well as paper and ink, they can save as much as they want.

Some even finished the work of the college, and went to the pharmacy to rush to help, and everyone handed over the money they earned to Mr. Cheng, so that the teacher could take care of it on their behalf, and then send them pens, inks and paper every month to pay for food.

These children are sensible and diligent, and the whole college is like a family.

I thought that this situation might be maintained for half a month, but I didn't expect that Luo Xiyu still underestimated the name of Old Man Cheng's teacher, and also underestimated the hearts of parents in Jiumu City who wanted their children to be promising.

Seeing the environment of the academy and the abundant food, many parents of civilians were ready to move, and within three days, someone brought their children to the door.

The price of the academy is fair, and the food is kind, so naturally there is nothing to be faulted with.

In a month's time, more than 20 students came in one after another, and Master Cheng was busy for a while, so he invited an old teacher to teach enlightenment to children under the age of six.

Luo Xiyu didn't expect that it had only been more than a month, and the academy had actually begun to make a profit, and because of the children they had taken in before, they knew that their life and study like this were not easy to come by.

Do work and are not afraid of hardship and tiredness, for a time such an atmosphere has also affected the children who came in, there are also the same learning, many parents after a period of time, have found that their children are sensible, go home to practice words, but also love to learn.

This passed ten, ten passed hundred, and a lot of children were sent for a while, and the college had only a dozen at the beginning to more than a hundred, and Mr. Teaching alone invited five, which is a later story.

After the academy was stabilized, Luo Xiyu concentrated on running a pharmacy, which was managed by two brothers and sisters to help her, and Luo Xiyu promised that if the two could send her to Jiumu Cheng Mansion, they would return the deed of sale.

Originally, the two of them were overjoyed, but they were unlucky, the three of them scattered, and they did not send their wives to the place, and the deed of sale was still on Luo Xiyu, so they came all the way, and they never mentioned the deed of deed, and they have been waiting.

And Luo Xiyu can also see that the arrogance of the two brothers and sisters, even if they are slaves now, they can't give up the idea of becoming a free body one day in their hearts.

However, the white mangs on their bodies are still small, Luo Xiyu gave them the deed paper, and all they got was only two grains of white mangs, and they were still young at this time, and they were slow to let go, and there was nowhere to go, and she needed manpower now, so after thinking about it, she gave them another promise.

If they can become excellent healers, and someone asks them to be treated, Luo Xiyu will return the deed and leave them in the pharmacy with a large amount of money, and before that, they will help themselves to take care of the pharmacy, learn all the knowledge of medicinal herbs, and learn medical skills in the company of several doctors.

Such a commitment made the brother and sister hope again, and they did their best to do it.

The reason why Luo Xiyu did this was naturally for the good of the two of them, in the future, they would have a skill, and they would no longer have to worry about the money, and they would also accumulate a lot of merit over the years, and when she returned the deed of sale, Bai Mang would float in front of her several times.

The biggest reason is that she has two good helpers, even if she returns the deed paper, how can the two of them give up their relationship with the pharmacy for so many years, they must stay in the shop wholeheartedly.

I don't know if Luo Xiyu is destined to bring wealth, there is no shortage of gold and silver, or if Old Man Cheng's name is louder than imagined, first of all, the academy is extremely smooth, and he began to make money in less than two months, even if he accepts some abandoned children and little beggars one after another, he can't erase the fact of making money.

It's not a small amount of money, but a multiplier of silver, after all, there are many children, and money comes like running water, but the capital does not use one-tenth.

Then there is the pharmacy, because Luo Xiyu's original intention was to set up a free clinic for the poor, and the drug fee was halved to allow for credit, in order to obtain merit, but he didn't expect that because of taking in beggars' children in the past, and then free clinics, his reputation started all of a sudden, and it is said that the old man Cheng and his daughter-in-law are great good people.

Although it is developed in the capital, it has not forgotten the neighbors of his hometown, and he takes care of him everywhere, either losing money to take in beggars and children, or giving money to treat the poor.

Not only are the prices fair, but those children and doctors are not like other pharmacies, they ask for more money if they can, but they can eat less and let people buy less, and they can cure the disease with a few copper plates, and they will never let you spend an extra piece.

For a while, many ordinary people came, and there was an endless stream of people every day, and those who couldn't afford the medicine also came to pay on credit, and waited until they had enough money, and then came to repay the money, so the pharmacy was prosperous and soon insufficient, Luo Xiyu had to buy the shop next door, and set up a medical center specially opened for women and children.

As soon as the hall was opened like this, the children were upside down, because Mr. Cheng was from the academy, and if the children in the academy were sick, they were sent directly, and they went home directly after taking the medicine, and the parents all praised it, such a college is simply not too good.

Eat more than at home, the children have grown meat, and stay for a period of time to become diligent, the words are also recognized, from time to time bite the text and chew a few words can make people happy enough, more importantly, as long as the child has a small problem, headache and brain fever, do not have to go back to the parents, directly sent to the pharmacy to diagnose the pulse, buy medicine without parents to take money.

Some parents send the money to the hospital, but they don't want to send it to the hospital.

With such a good environment and such a good college, whose parents don't sharpen their heads and send their children in.

And the owner of the woman's medical hall is also a woman, and she is still a pregnant woman, this woman always has resonance, seeing her belly is getting bigger, but her face is as white as porcelain, her eyes are like spring water, her skin is delicate and plump, her lips are not self-zhu, where is there a little pregnant woman's appearance, but it is amazingly beautiful, and even the face is yellow at the beginning.

So the pregnant lady in the city couldn't help but go to the hospital for advice, Luo Xiyu naturally let people give an example, what is the easiest for pregnant women to eat? What soup to nourish the body, what soup to fitness, what medicinal diet to go to the face yellow.

In short, for all kinds of women, these dietary improvements, although they can't really have natural skin like her with gold fingers, can also make people look good and have good health.

In addition, some women in brothels have never dared to go to the hospital, and after the Cheng family set up a medical center for women and children, these women finally stepped out of the garden.

The medical girls invited by Luo Xiyu are all skilled, plus the younger sister of the two brothers and sisters, Xiujin is enthusiastic and careful, and she fills in three points of warmth without treating diseases, and for a while, the medical hall and pharmacy are overcrowded all day long.

The guys have invited one after another, and the shopkeeper has invited three, that is, there are more than ten guys in the academy.

That's it, three months later, Luo Xiyu calculated the money, not only did he not lose a penny, but he actually earned back all the money he spent, which was five times more.

If you change someone else, you must be crazy, you can make so much money, who doesn't love money?

But it was Luo Xiyu, looking at the money, but worrying about how to spend it.

Because since she opened five magnolias, she found that for each more flower, she needed twice as many meritorious white mangs as before, which meant that she used to be able to solve it with one fingernail, but now she needs to use the amount of two nails.

She is now desperately lacking in white mang, the amount of two nails, so how much good should she do? How much merit needs to be accumulated to save enough, and if it is doubled in the future, it is almost terrifying and panicked, and they are eager to exchange all this silver for white mangs and store it.

The only good thing is that there are more magnolia flowers, and there is relatively more dew, and this dew has become a little viscous, as if it has gathered the essence of magnolia flowers, and it has a honey-like luster.

Luo Xiyu eats a few drops every day, both in mood and sleep, even her eyes seem to be bright, and her mind is even more sober, even the little devil in her stomach, since she drank the dew, she can't toss her hard.

Eating is fragrant, and her body has also changed from being thin to ribs before to plump bones, even the old man Cheng said that her pregnancy is more perfect than before.

Now she is seven months pregnant, but I don't know if it's because of the sticky dew, she walks lightly and healthily, without the bulkiness of a normal pregnant woman.

Luo Xiyu no longer hides his face, because the people of Jiumu City are simple, and the son of Old Man Cheng is in the capital, she is a married woman, and the nobles in the city have some friendship with Old Man Cheng, and the child is still in the academy.

Therefore, no one made up her mind, so she simply stopped hiding it.

It was only when she saw two young teachers that she had dropped her pen when she saw her, so she had to put on the veil again.

It's been hot these days, and she doesn't want to move around, so she sits on a bamboo chair by the cool window and counts the accounts.

However, whether to build some good halls for porridge in Jiumu, or to exchange silver for rice and transport it to several waterlogged villages hundreds of miles away.

Just as she was hesitating, Xiu Jin suddenly came in, and when she saw that she was writing, she couldn't help but step forward and said, "Ouch Madam, don't count this, a group of people have come to the hospital today, and they are asking to see you by name." ”

"People? Who? Luo Xiyu frowned without raising his head.

"Who knows who it is, when they entered the house, they stopped in the house like a mortuary, so scared that the patients outside didn't dare to come in, and the guy came forward to greet them and didn't speak, only said that he was looking for Miss Luo Xi Yuluo.

I didn't go away from them, and I stood and waited for two hours.

Those people were all black, and they carried something like a coffin, which scared people to death, and an old lady who saw a doctor was frightened, madam, do you recognize them, if you don't recognize them, madam, don't go, let's report to the official......"

As soon as Xiu Jin finished saying this, Luo Xiyu's hand, which was still writing and drawing, suddenly stopped, and the pen "clicked", fell on the table, rolled twice, and fell to the ground.
