Li Jingjing relied on her identity as a child, crossed her hands on her hips, and pouted: "Auntie, you also underestimate me." ”

The noble man wiped away his tears and said, "How could I underestimate my Jing Niang." ”

Li Jingjing said to He's family: "Mother, you just ask for your aunt's health, don't you have any other requirements?" ”

He knew that his youngest daughter had a quirky temperament but never bragged, so he was overjoyed and deliberately disgusted: "Don't make a fuss, quickly say what kind of body your aunt can be cured with your medicine to the greatest extent?" ”

Li Jingjing looked around, pretended to say something very secret, made a gesture of breath, and whispered: "Mother, I want to make my aunt healthy and become as young as you." ”

He Shi was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

Li Jingjing blinked and said, "Mother, my aunt is more beautiful than you, if my aunt becomes as young as you, she will be even more beautiful than you." Don't be angry with me. ”

She can see that this aunt has changed into three gorgeous clothes from yesterday to today, and has been a guest at her house, and she has brought two dressing boxes, and the combs alone have three ivory, tortoiseshell, and peach wood, and the mirrors have large and small medium-sized round mirrors and hand mirrors.

Sure enough, the nobleman didn't cry when he heard it.

He Shi burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Naughty, I actually made a joke with your aunt." Your aunt is younger and more beautiful than me, and it's too late for me to be happy for her. ”

Li Jingjing continued: "I also want my aunt to give me a few little brothers and little sisters. Mother, do you think it's good? ”

"Of course." He couldn't help but hug Li Jingjing and offered a few fragrant kisses, pointed to her small forehead, and said, "It's about the same, it's not in vain for me to beg you once." ”

The nobleman was pleasantly surprised, as if his ears had heard it wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Yi Niang, can what Jing Niang said come true?" ”

"She won't lie to me. You just put 12 distractions. He glanced at Li Jingjing, and urged with a smile: "Don't go and give your aunt medicine soon." ”

Li Jingjing opened the door, turned her head and smiled at the He nobleman who was talking with joy on her face, shook her head, scraped her cheek with her right index finger, and said loudly: "Cry for a while, laugh for a while, mother and aunt are ashamed!" ”

"This little thing, it's really begging." When He said this, he was extremely happy and proud, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Xiaoqing saw that the door was slightly open, took two glasses of water and carefully came in and put them down, seeing that the noble man had just cried with a smile on his face, and his beautiful big eyes were amazingly bright, I don't know what happy event happened just now that made the noble man so happy.

After dinner that day, the nobles ate the internal poison removal pills, stomach relief pills, and liver protection pills made by Li Jingjing.

The biggest feature of the medicine that Li Jingjing took out from the aphrodisiac house is that it does not have any side effects, even if a healthy person eats dozens of medicines at the same time, it will not hurt the body.

"Auntie, until your body is fully recovered, you can only take the medicine I made." Li Jingjing said seriously: "If I find out that you are still quietly eating medicine made by others, I will not play with you." ”

The nobleman smiled and nodded.

This night, the nobleman and the He family cried for too long last night and during the day, they were too exhausted and tired, so they went to bed early and slept very deeply.

When the noble man woke up the next day, He Shi next to him had already gotten up and left the house. She felt bloated, so she went to the manure bucket in the house to relieve her big hand.

Xiaoqing came in to wait, saw that the nobleman was very good-looking, and asked, "Second lady, the lightning and thunder are thundering in the middle of the night, do you sleep well?" ”

The noble man nodded and wondered, "Is the thunder loud?" ”

Xiaoqing nodded and said, "The thunder is loud, and Sister-in-law He and I are both awakened." ”

When it comes to an unfamiliar environment, people will inevitably be a little uncomfortable, especially in thunderstorms. Xiaoqing and Sister-in-law He both waited for the thunder to pass before falling asleep.

As soon as the nobleman thought about it, he knew that it was Li Jingjing's medicinal effect that made her dreamless all night last night, and she slept so deep that she couldn't even hear thunder.

She didn't say much to Xiaoqing, dressed and washed, and went out of the bedroom, looking at the ground in the small courtyard was wet, the green leaves of orange trees and pear trees were dripping with crystal droplets, and it was estimated that the rain in the middle of the night was short but it was falling quickly and heavily, otherwise how could the thunder disturb Xiaoqing and Sister-in-law's sweet dreams.

Sister-in-law He brought the breakfast specially left for the noble, and the nobleman saw that it was his favorite childhood favorite eggplant, beans, and mushroom noodles, and suddenly felt hungry so that his chest was close to his back, this feeling of hunger had not been passed for several years, and he ate two bowls in a row, afraid of holding his stomach, and did not dare to eat again after listening to He's persuasion.

The noble man is going back to Tanzhou tomorrow, and he cherishes the time he has with him, and sits and eats melons and fruits with He in the hall.

It's only been half an hour, and the Li family has seven groups of people coming one after another.

The nobles listened to the voices outside in the hall, and there were old men, men, women, and children, all of whom sent things to the Li family.

A live turtle, two catties of yellow eel, four river carp, one catty of more river shrimp, a pot of river mussels, a bunch of cucumbers, and a large handful of chives. These people leave their things at the kitchen door and leave, and do not go to the hall to sit down and drink tea.

He said with a smile: "People in the village are sick, so I went to the town to find Lang Zhong to prescribe medicine, and when I came back, I went to my house to find Jing Niang to dispense medicine." Jing Niang doesn't take cashiers. In order to thank Jing Niang, the villagers often send some seasonal vegetables to my family. ”

The noble man asked, "Then how can there be live turtles and yellow eels?" ”

He said: "Every time after a rainstorm, the river suddenly rises, the river is turbid, and the fish swim wildly, and the people in the village go to the river to catch river fish, yellow eels, turtles, shrimps, and mussels, and they will send some to my family." ”

Li Jingjing's voice came from outside, "Xiao Yanzi, I'm going to make medicine for this turtle, don't play it to death." ”

Li Yunxiao said loudly: "Last time, you said that you would take the turtle medicine and not let me eat its meat, and this time you also said that it was pharmaceutical." ”

Li Jingjing said domineeringly: "I used it to make medicine for my aunt." ”

Li Yunxiao said whimsily: "Okay, you can take it to make medicine for your aunt." ”

Li Jingjing shouted proudly: "Mochizuki, help me take the turtle to the medicine room." ”

The Book of Medicine and Beasts records that the turtle is full of treasures, and its head, nails, bones, flesh, eggs, gallbladder, and fat can all be used in medicine. Turtle blood can be applied externally to treat facial nerves, in addition to stroke, thirst, fatigue and hot flashes, and can treat bone tuberculosis. The fat of the turtle can nourish yin and yang, and treat gray hair. (Excerpt from "Compendium of Materia Medica")

A few days ago, she sent a male live turtle into the aphrodisiac mansion, Yuyu was very happy, and urged her to quickly enter another female turtle, I hope this time the turtle is female.

Li went to school when he was sick, and the Li family was going to have lunch, which was still divided into two tables, the main and secondary, and the dishes were the same, all of which were six dishes and one soup.

Stir-fried eel with cucumber slices, fried small river shrimp, braised river carp, steamed rooster with wine, vinegared cabbage heart, mushroom roasted winter melon, tofu and mussel soup, five meat and two vegetarian, more meat dishes than yesterday.

Li Jingjing took the nobleman's hand, sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals, leaned over her ear and said, "Auntie, my mother quietly told me that when you were a child, you were greedy and liked to eat meat. You can eat meat from now on. You see, I made more meat for them to eat. ”

The noble man raised his eyebrows, glanced at He's family, and said, "Yi Niang, how can you expose my old bottom." ”

Li Yunqing asked: "Mother, what are you revealing your aunt's old bottom?" ”

He said with a smile: "Your aunt has a lot of old people, I'll tell you about it when I get back." ”

The noble man squinted and said: "It seems that you don't have an old bottom, you were gnawed by a mouse for a book that year, and you were so angry that you cried for three days." ”

Li Yunxiao chuckled and said, "My mother was angry and cried because of the rats." ”

He blushed slightly. Li honestly thought that he would buy her some new books when he went back to Tanzhou next time.

After Li Jingjing took a nap, she carried a small basket and took Mochizuki and Wanglian to Tian Hua's grandfather's house for a follow-up, and came back to tell Qu, "Grandma, Brother Hua has woken up and can talk and eat." He has changed his name to Qu Hua, and he will be a member of the Qu clan in the future. ”

Qu took pity on Qu Hua in his heart, and asked He to pack up a few of Li Yunxiao's old clothes and shoes, take some melons, fruits, and snacks, and take Li Yunxiao over to take a look.

Qu Hua was abused by his stepmother, his body has not grown much in the past two years, he is a head shorter than Li Yunxiao, and he can wear Li Yunxiao's clothes and shoes last year.

The cloth and shoes used by the villagers to make clothes for children are the thinnest kind, and they are washed and worn out after a year or two.

The fabrics used by the Li family to make clothes and shoes for dragon and phoenix tires are all normal cotton cloth, and they will not break if they are worn for several years.

Qu thought that Qu Hua was young, and if he gave him money, it might not fall into his hands, so it was better to give him clothes and shoes to eat, which could be used every day.

Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing were not idle at home, and they all went to work in the medicinal herb field and the medicine beast circle.

The Li family has a simple population and is pure and kind-hearted.

The noble man stayed for three days and saw through the Li family, completely relieved, and said, "Sister, you keep your home and live with your brother-in-law." It won't be long before you're rich. ”

The nobleman said that the Li family wanted to be rich and noble, but it was not a confession, but a conclusion drawn from Qin Guogong's letter.

He thought that Li Bing had written a letter saying that he would return home before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and combined with the nobles' hints several times, he had some expectations in his heart.

That night, He and the nobles entered the bedroom, ready to wash and rest, and Li Jingjing knocked on the door with a small basket and came in.

The noble man had already recognized Li Jingjing's small basket, which was either filled with medicine or herbs, and said with a smile: "Jingniang is here to bring me medicine?" ”

Li Jingjing nodded, and uncovered the blue cloth covering the small basket, revealing four black cans of different sizes.

"Auntie, you remember everything I said. The two largest jars contained liver protection pills and stomach relief pills respectively, one pill each day after meals. ”

"This jar is filled with goat milk skin cream, which is applied to the skin every day."

"The smallest jar is filled with insect repellent cream, and a little application to the exposed skin can repel mosquitoes, snakes and ants."

The noble man stretched out his finger and dipped a little goat milk skin cream on his fingertips, rubbed it on the back of his hand, and asked, "Sister, your skin is so white and tender, but you touched this ointment?" ”

He nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The nobleman was overjoyed, hurriedly smeared it on his face and neck, and asked, "What is this ointment called?" ”

Li Jingjing raised her little fist in protest and shouted, "Ah, aunt, you didn't remember the name of goat milk skin cream." You don't listen to me. ”

The noble man smiled: "My Jing Niang, I was wrong, you say it again, this time I remember it with my heart." ”

He asked: "Sister, in the past few days, before you go to bed, I have applied insect repellent ointment to you, do you think the effect of the medicine is good?" ”

The noble man was slightly surprised, and said, "Why don't mosquitoes bite me?" He also said: "My Jing Niang, your brother is studying in the academy, which is built in the mountains, and there are many mosquitoes. If you still have insect repellent cream, give your brother a little. ”

Li Jingjing nodded, ran out of the house, and brought a small jar for a while, and put it together with the four small jars.

He stretched out his palm and asked, "What else?" ”

Li Jingjing sighed lightly, took out a small cyan porcelain bottle and put it in He's palm, and said helplessly: "Mother, I was thinking of giving it to my aunt tomorrow, you have to let me take it out now." ”

The noble man asked curiously, "What?" ”

"Life-saving pills. You must take it with you. He whispered in the nobleman's ear, and the nobleman looked at Li Jingjing's gaze with more gratitude and pampering.

Heavy rain fell the next morning and stopped at noon.

Before the noble man left the house, he told the old lady Ming that the time was good, if he didn't return today, the house would definitely be very anxious and send people to look for her everywhere, and next time she would think of the Li family to stay for a few days, it would be difficult, so she had to rush back.

The He family knows that there are many rules in the high gate of Lu Dao, and the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion does not know how many people are staring at it, and they don't even dare to leave the nobles to eat, so they call Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing together to send the nobles to the official road of Taihe Town.

After He went home, he went to the bedroom to see the gifts brought by the nobles.

Three jewelry boxes full of jewels are for her, Qu Shi, and Li Jingjing.

A set of four treasures of the study room of the time-honored brand in Chang'an is for Li Quai, two swords for Li Laoshi and Li Yunqing, several sets of educational toys for Li Yunxiao, and four baskets of snacks and dried fruits, and a red envelope with a silver ticket.

If you add the meeting gifts given by the nobles to Li Yunqing and the dragon and phoenix fetus, the three jade pendants that are worth a lot of money are as much as 8,000 taels of silver.

He Shi held a large stack of thirty-two silver tickets in his hand, and said softly: "Sister, I really have a heart, I know that the Li family is not rich, so I deliberately exchanged three thousand taels of silver tickets for one hundred silver tickets with a face value of thirty taels." ”

Li said honestly: "Sister Yi, sister's money, you take it first, and then you go to Tanzhou Mansion to see her, and buy all these silver money as gifts for her." ”

He Shi said with some regret: "I should tell my sister that Sister Jing sells medicine to make money, so that she doesn't think that we are living poorly." ”

Li Laoshi lowered his head and asked, "Sister doesn't look down on me?" ”

He Shi said angrily: "Where did you see that your sister looks down on you?" ”

Li honestly said slowly: "Even if my sister doesn't say it, I know it in my heart." I didn't become an official, so I can't give you wealth. ”

He took the initiative to lean on Li Laoshi's shoulder, and said softly: "My sister said that if you become rich in the future, you can be as dedicated to me as you are now, and you can be regarded as my good husband." ”

Li honestly hugged He's waist and confessed tenderly: "No matter how rich or poor I am in this life, I will only have you as a guest." ”

Let's say that He Huishu drove for four hours in a two-horse carriage, and did not arrive at the Tanzhou Guogong Mansion until it was dark.

She entered the house and got out of the carriage, and she didn't even bother to wash her face and eat, so she went straight to the courtyard of the old lady Ming.

The two little slaves guarding the courtyard gate saluted respectfully and said, "Second lady." ”

A second-class slave maid in the courtyard hurriedly greeted him and said softly: "Second lady, the second master will return to the house at the end of the year, and he has been accompanying the old lady." ”

The corners of He Huishu's mouth turned up, and when she entered the room, she saw the white-haired Ming lying on the mahogany chaise longue covered with a mat, squinting her eyes and listening to Qin Yue's words with a tired face, and the four first-class slaves stood aside with their heads bowed and their hands down, and said softly: "Daughter-in-law grandma asks for peace." ”

Ming's slender eyes opened, stretched out his left hand, and sat up with Qin Yue's support, and said in Tanzhou dialect: "If you don't come back, I'll ask Yue Yanzi to look for you." ”

"It rained heavily in Liuyang County early this morning, and it has been falling for two hours, and I came out late, so I didn't catch up with you for dinner." He Huishu nodded at Qin Yue and said hello, sat next to Ming, pinched her shoulders, and asked, "Grandma is doing these days?" ”

Ming shook his head and said, "It's not good." Other people's lectures are not good. I just want to hear you tell me. ”

Ming's maiden family was originally a fisherman in the Xiangjiang River, she didn't know a single big word, and she preferred to listen to books in her later years.

He Huishu knows Ming's character very well, and she specializes in telling short stories in the family that she likes to hear, and she likes to listen to them very well.

Ming is 77 years old this year, and his teeth have long been lost, so he is very gluttonous.

He Huishu was also gluttonous when she was a girl, and later because of her bad stomach, she couldn't eat meat, so she understood Ming's mood very well, and asked the kitchen to make food for Ming's without teeth.

He Huishu is sincere to Ming's, although Ming's is old, he is not stupid, he likes her very much, and he relies on her very much.

"If grandma is not good, then it is my sin." He Huishu accompanied the smiling face and said, "I'll tell you a new little story, you can go and rest after listening to it, okay?" ”

Qin Yue stared at He Huishu with bull's eyes, and saw that she was casually combing her diagonal bun and wearing a snow-blue long skirt, but her face was like a peach and plum, her eyebrows were happy, and she was in good spirits, even more beautiful than she had been carefully dressed, where was the tired color of taking a carriage from Liuyang County to Tanzhou.

When Ming heard a new story, he smiled and said, "Okay." ”

After He Huishu used snacks in the carriage this day, she ate the Ningshen Pill given by Li Jingjing, slept all the way, and didn't think about the story at all, and now in order to make the Ming family happy, she told the story of her stepmother who had killed Yuan gamete with leeches in Qujia Village.

Ming was angry and angry when he heard this, and scolded his stepmother, and then after listening to the ending, he was moved to tears, and said: "The female pharmacist and patriarch are really good people. ”

Seeing that Ming's emotions were exhausted, He Huishu asked, "Don't you think Xiaotong's grandfather's family is good?" ”

Ming said: "That's what they should do. You're right? ”

He Huishu nodded and said, "Yes." You couldn't be more right. My grandfather's family is the relatives of the child's in-laws, and it is natural to adopt the child. ”

Ming's asked He Huishu to tell a story, He Huishu shook her head and said, "Grandma, it's getting late, you can rest quickly." I'll tell you a new story. ”

"The new story you tell tomorrow is better than the one you tell today." The Ming clan made a request, and the two first-class slaves and maids helped them to bathe and rest, and the other two first-class slaves and maids sent He Huishu and Qin Yue out of the courtyard.

As soon as He Huishu came out of the courtyard, she was surrounded by three housekeepers and four housekeepers who had been waiting in the house for a long time, all of whom had urgent matters to report.

Qin Yue walked out from behind coldly, stood beside He Huishu like a door god, and said, "What kind of, do you have to tell the second lady today?" ”

His accent is a nondescript Chang'an accent.

The seven people were startled, usually this master was merry outside, and he had never appeared at this time, so he hurriedly saluted and bowed his head respectfully and said, "Second master." ”

He Huishu only ate some snacks at Ming's place just now, and now her stomach growled with hunger, and said, "You all go back first, and wait in the living room of the North Courtyard at the beginning of tomorrow." ”

In the past, she did not give work to the housekeepers in the living room of the North Courtyard when she was in Mao, and she will arrive at the beginning of the Mao Dynasty in advance.

Five of the seven people left, and the fat butler and a square-faced housekeeper did not move.

"Second Madam, there is really an urgent matter waiting for you to decide." The fat housekeeper stiffened his head, and couldn't wait to shrink the ten sentences into one sentence and said: "The twelve young masters of the Changshi Mansion died yesterday, and the funeral will be out tomorrow morning, and the funeral money has not been sent to our mansion yet." ”

Qin Yue was stunned for a moment and asked, "The twelfth young master of Changshi was born to the nine girls of our family?" ”

The Tanzhou Guogong Mansion has only been established for more than ten years, and no less than 200 people have come to visit relatives.

The ninth girl of this family is Qin Yue's cousin who is about to come out of the fifth suit, the family was originally engaged in small business, and she took the line of the Guogong Mansion to make the business bigger, and she felt that her power was more important with the money, so she had to marry the flower-like girl Nine Girls to the almost fifty-year-old Tan Governor Shi Dangping's wife, and she had just been married for only two years.

The fat butler nodded and said, "Second master, you're right." The ninth girl was heartbroken by this incident and heard that the situation was not good. ”

Qin Yue was puzzled: "What's a bad law?" ”

"Crazy." The fat butler said these two words with difficulty, and lowered his head in horror, for fear that Qin Yue would run to smash the Changshi Mansion in anger.

He Huishu snorted lightly and said, "At that time, the ninth girl was going to marry into the smelly Changshi Mansion, and I didn't stop her and her family. She married into the Changshi Mansion, was robbed by the main room, and killed three concubines in a row and lost her child, and now it is her turn to lose her son, she can't stand it or was drugged crazy, and her family begged me to come to me and let me give her a head? What did you do earlier? ”

After hearing this, Qin Yue's clenched fist like a vinegar jar loosened, and his anger disappeared without a trace, and said, "She is doing this on her own." You don't have to stand up for her. ”

He Huishu said: "Hmm. I think the same as the second master. And thou shalt send for the mourning money, as is customary. ”

The fat butler stepped back, took a few steps and touched the sweat on his forehead in the dark where there was no light.

He knew that He Huishu would deal with it like this, but he had to give her a gift. He took out the three hundred taels of silver tickets stuffed in his sleeve, and this one had to be quickly returned to the ninth girl's maiden house.

He Huishu looked at the square-faced housekeeper with a pleasant face, and said, "Say it." ”

The square-faced housekeeper said: "Second old man, second lady, thunder killed one of the old lady's favorite male peacocks the night before. ”

He Huishu said: "You tell the old lady that the male peacock is afraid that the thunder will fly away, and he will fly back when he turns around." I will arrange for someone to find a male peacock that looks similar to the animal park and send it to the zoo. ”

Qin Yue said unhappily: "This little sesame thing is still bothering the second lady?" ”

The square-faced housekeeper looked terrified.

He Huishu waved her hand to let her mother-in-law step back, and said softly: "Second master, don't blame her, I have already made a rule, the old lady in the house is the biggest, and the affairs of her old man, no matter how big or small, are all major events, and they must be reported to me as soon as possible." ”

The square-faced housekeeper walked not far away and heard these words, and her eyes showed gratitude.

In the blink of an eye, the summer season is approaching, and the sun in Tanzhou Mansion is so poisonous that it can roast the ground.

According to the usual practice, the large and small academies in Tanzhou Prefecture will be closed for half a month on the day of the summer heat.

Tanzhou Academy has a leisurely history, a clear style of learning, just a daily course, still as in previous years in the early morning, late in the evening to open a famous teacher lecture hall, invited the two dynasties famous people to give lectures.

This day was two days before the summer season, and a family came to a courtyard at the foot of the academy with a simple exterior and a luxurious interior.
