Chapter 10 A clear conscience
Long's housekeeping village is too small, and there is nowhere to buy ingredients if you want to improve the food, Zhang You is unwilling, and suddenly remembered that in the past two days in the village, he saw a lot of chickens raised in the yard of Li Laoshi's house, who had sold grain in the east of the village, and he was busy looking for it, and first exchanged the ingots into copper coins - the middle-aged man is very generous, and the silver ingots are a full five taels. I spent 20 copper coins to buy a big rooster, and 50 yuan to buy a bucket of white rice, and then I went home happily.
In these years, the material life is extremely scarce, and ordinary people may not be willing to kill a chicken during the New Year's Festival, so seeing him carrying a rooster into the door, Li Shuo was really startled, and he explained it well, so he came over happily, boiled water to kill the chicken, and sent Zhang You to inform the Li couple that they would dine together in the evening.
Without waiting for dark, Aunt Li came over to help, the rooster came out of the pot, Uncle Li also came over with a wine jar, and the four of them sat together, during the banquet, Zhang You inevitably became the center of everyone's topic, and received a lot of praise from the Li couple, and it was not necessary to elaborate.
Zhang You is not good at drinking, Uncle Li poured himself a drink, and he was actually drunk for seven or eight points, while praising Zhang You with a big tongue * head, and at the same time, with the support of Aunt Li, he stumbled out of the door.
The mother and son smiled at each other, sent them out in person, and after coming back, Zhang You wanted to help Li Shuo clean up, but she pushed into the back room with an annoyed face: "How many times have I told you, 'Gentleman is far away from cooking', hurry in and rest, you don't need these things...... I'm worried that I don't have a book for you to review your homework, but now it's okay, I'll go to the town to buy you a book! ”
The mother and son had fought several times over this matter, and Zhang You knew that he couldn't resist Li Shuo, so he didn't distinguish or go back to the house, so he leaned against the door frame and watched Li Shuo's busy back in the dim light.
He once asked skillfully that Li Shuo was born in the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing of Ming Shizong (1545), at the age of thirty-seven. It is the golden age of women, although the body is a little blessed, but still slim, every gesture, everywhere exudes the unique charm of mature * women.
What a good woman, left in the afterlife, according to her age, many of them have not yet started a family, but she has already picked up the burden of life early, and even been framed and under great pressure.
Zhang You clenched his fist vigorously, secretly regretting that he was in too much of a hurry to leave the waterhole today, and he forgot to pick some comfrey. Li Shuo's reputation has become a problem for him, in addition to earning money to support his family, what he hopes most is to help Li Shuo restore his reputation, so that those who have hurt her can get the punishment they deserve.
"What are you looking at?" After Li Shuo finished cleaning up, he found that Zhang You had been leaning against the door frame, and he couldn't help but glance at him.
Zhang You smiled: "Mother, you are so beautiful." ”
"Flim Flam!" Li Shuo counted a few sentences, but his heart was very sweet, silently reciting Guanyin Bodhisattva has eyes, his son will not die, not only has he grown, but even his temperament has become much more cheerful than before, and he will joke, unlike before, as if everyone owes him, he makes people depressed all day long.
Putting the oil lamp on the kang table, Li Shuo was about to go to the kang to do work, Zhang You suddenly said: "Mother, now that we have money, I decided to start giving you acupuncture tonight, and tomorrow* you go to the town and buy back the few medicinal herbs I said by the way...... The name is as big as the sky, and the child doesn't want you to carry the notoriety all day long. ”
Zhang You talked about this after Li San'er left that night, and Li Shuo had already been mentally prepared. However, when I think of acupuncture, I can't help but recall the scene when Yang Ying was there in the past, when she gave acupuncture to others, the appearance of bare chest and back jumped like a mind, and I suddenly felt my face red and my heart beating, and said uneasily: "This is the beginning?" Is the method recorded in the book really useful? ”
"The book says that this is specially for those concubines in the palace, the effect is very good, mother, you can rest assured, it only takes ten days and a half months, the child will protect you, ah, what is fading, smooth as jade." Zhang Youhu boasted that he had done all the things that delivered the baby, and it was impossible for him to shy away from saying words like "body hair", but taking into account his mother's feelings, he replaced it with "that".
Rao is like this, Li Shuo still blushed, and said like a mosquito: "Actually, my mother doesn't particularly care about fame, I'm just afraid of affecting you...... It works, but how? Need to take off, undress or not? When it comes to "undressing," she can't help but stutter a little.
Zhang You didn't have any other thoughts, but when he saw Li Shuo's appearance, he couldn't help but have his heart beating a little faster, and secretly scolded himself a few times, so he collected his mind and pretended to be relaxed: "Only take the door of life, Shenque, three yin and three acupoints, you don't need to take off your clothes, you just need to lie down and lift your shirt up slightly." ”
"Oh!" Li Shuo nodded, lying on the kang with a little hesitation, and slowly tugged the jacket upward.
Zhang You had already taken the full set of golden needles that Yang Ying gave to Li Shuo, which was the most cherished thing for her, and she always took it with her, so she never lost it.
In the past few days, every night he has concentrated on practicing the "Guiyuan Health Sutra", under the familiar road, there is already a sense of qi in the dantian, although it is only a small ball like corn kernels, and the treatment of his leg disease is still far away, but it is more than enough to deal with these three injections.
Holding his breath and concentrating, taking the needle in his hand, he had no distracting thoughts, found the lifegate point located on the second thoracic vertebrae, and slowly pierced the golden needle as thin as a cow's hair, and at the same time ran the dantian, and a wisp of true qi went along the needle.
True qi entered the body, although it was only a little, Li Shuo felt hot, as if the sun was shining, and she almost couldn't help moaning when she was comfortable, and she was busy biting her arm, secretly blaming herself.
After twisting the needle, Zhang You took out the golden needle, motioned for his mother to turn over, and first did the same on the three yin points on her calf, and then after a while, he said to Li Shuo with some embarrassment: "Mother, there is only the Shenque acupoint, the Shenque acupoint is the navel ......."
Li Shuo didn't speak, the light was dim, and he couldn't see her face clearly. She grabbed the jacket and lifted it up slightly, and a touch of snow white caught Zhang You's eyes, he didn't dare to look more, closed his eyes, and groped to pierce the golden needle into it.
"You'er, You'er, you two haven't slept yet, have you? There is one thing, the old body does not vomit or be unhappy...... "Aunt Li's voice suddenly came from outside, the voice did not fall, the person had already entered the house, the movement was too fast, Zhang You didn't even have time to take the needle.
"Ah, you two are ......" Aunt Li covered her eyes, hurriedly turned around, only to feel that her heart was thumping, beating hard, and secretly wondering, could it be that what the people said was really not true? She even regretted it a little, she shouldn't have come, so she heard some messages, she didn't say it at dinner, she kept it in her heart, it's good now, it's not going in, it's not going back, it's just too embarrassing.
Li Shuo was embarrassed, he even forgot the golden needle inserted in his stomach, sat up and hurriedly said: "Aunt Li, it's not what you think, it's ......"
"It's me who helps my mother with acupuncture," Zhang You said in a deep voice, he had a clear conscience, naturally he was not afraid, but looking at Aunt Li's reaction, he also knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, it would be detrimental to his mother's reputation, and his mind was turning, and he had already made up his mind: "I won't tell you that my mother was falsely accused by that Zheng Yong, and her reputation was banned and ruined, and I was worried about it, and I have been trying to help her restore her reputation." Before I fell into a coma, I had actually thought of a way, and now that I am good, I naturally have to put it into practice. ”
"Acupuncture? Reinstate the name festival? Aunt Li was said to be blind, and turned to look at Zhang You, her eyes were full of scrutiny.
Li Shuo's face was still hot, and he whispered in Aunt Li's ear, and after a long time, Aunt Li's face calmed down, sat on the edge of the kang, and said solemnly: "Don't blame the old man for being too careful, the reason why I came here is that I heard some rumors about your mother and son on the street later, and I came to remind you." ”
