Mei Xiaotong listened to what Imperial Physician Du said, as if she had seen it with her own eyes, and was immediately convinced. "The Imperial Doctor is very right! My mother's body loss was too bad when she was young, and last year something happened in my family, and my mother held on. It's a little better for the family this year, just-" At this point, there was a pause.

"Please also ask Imperial Physician Du to make it clear that my mother's illness-" looked at Imperial Physician Du expectantly.

Doctor Du took the pulse, what don't you know, the patient in front of him, the body can recover to this point, I am afraid that there is a lot of work for children, but he is a filial piety.

So the attitude was kinder: "Out of the way!" You also spent a lot of money to find a century-old Zizhi as a medicine, but you protected that vitality! Now, as long as you are careful and don't get angry or tired, it's no big deal! ”

Mei Xiaotong was determined.

Doctor Du simply did it to the end, "Take out the prescription and I'll take a look at it to see if there's anything to consider." ”

Mei Xiaotong hurriedly took out the prescription, Imperial Doctor Du looked at it, and nodded: "This prescription is not bad, just change the two flavors of the medicine, in the future, this medicine will be one a day, one medicine will be boiled twice in the morning and evening, and it will be taken half an hour after meals." Wait for tomorrow, I will give another pill, so that I can take it for two months, and it will be fine! ”

As he spoke, he asked for a pen, added two flavors to the prescription, and handed it to Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong carefully took the prescription, solemnly thanked Dr. Du, and asked for the consultation fee.

Imperial Physician Du waved his hand freely: "Girl, if you really want to thank me, just give me a bag of tea just now." ”

Isn't that simple? There is nothing else, there is still no shortage of tea!

Mei Xiaotong glanced at Li Jiushao, and he nodded slightly at Mei Xiaotong.

Mei Xiaotong had a number in her heart, and readily agreed, and went into the house to take out two taels of tea for Imperial Doctor Du.

Imperial Physician Du took the tea as if he had obtained a treasure, and was about to leave in his arms: "Okay, Ming'er will come to my house to get pills, my house is in the second house of Zucchini Lane on East Street, and the one with the Dufu plaque hanging at the door." ”

Li Jiushao originally wanted to say something, but Imperial Doctor Du rushed to the door very neatly: "I said Jiu Shao, I showed this person, the prescription was also opened, and the pills were delivered, I did everything that should be done, and I should let the old man go home, right?" The family is still waiting for me to go back! If I don't go back, I'll have to worry if I've been robbed by robbers! ”

Li Jiu Shao snorted coldly, waved his hand and motioned for Imperial Doctor Du to leave quickly, don't be an eyesore.

Doctor Du climbed into the carriage and ordered, "Hurry up—" and hurriedly went.

Seeing that Imperial Doctor Du had gone away, Mei Xiaotong came back, looked at Li Jiushao who was sitting on the left, and then looked at Mrs. Ding who was at a loss and didn't know how to entertain the guests.

Waving his hand to signal Mrs. Ding to go down, she stepped forward and thanked her sincerely: "My mother's body has always been something that Brother Song and I are worried about, and I can invite Imperial Doctor Du to see my mother, Jiu Shao bothered."

Finish! Another day, I will definitely ask Brother Song to invite Jiu Shao to have a drink! ”

The corners of Li Jiushao's mouth, which were originally raised proudly, collapsed in an instant, and he reluctantly waved his hand: "No need!" I'm just a favor! You can give me such a big gift, what is it? ”

This means not taking advantage.

Mei Xiaotong likes Li Jiushao's clear public and private temperament, and she doesn't talk nonsense, she took out the box from the room and pushed it in front of Li Jiushao: "There are four colors of dyeing formula, indigo, akane red, turmeric, peacock green, and the method of dyeing valerian with various patterns of white cloth." ”

Li Jiushao looked at the small box, and there were a few thin pieces of paper lying down, but just these few pieces of paper, each one was worth a thousand gold.

Taking a deep breath, Li Jiushao touched what little conscience he had left, "To put it mildly, this recipe is very important to our Li family and me now, so I will not pretend to be polite!" I want this recipe! I, Li Changnan, am not the one who takes advantage of others, these four dyeing recipes and the method of dyeing Valerian are worth a lot of money, and I don't need those gold and silver to insult you! ”

"I have a small courtyard in Qingzhou Mansion, the location is quiet, it is the most suitable for my aunt to recuperate, and it is not worth a few silver, and there is a small village outside the state capital, which is two or three hundred acres of land and a hill. Naturally, these things are not as valuable as this dyeing formula, but they are just a little bit of my care! ”

Mei Xiaotong wanted to say when Li Jiushao said that he would not insult you with gold and silver, in fact, if you insult me, you can accept it.

But when he heard the things he gave behind, he really looked at him, don't look at Li Jiushao's arrogant and unkind appearance on weekdays, but look at his arrangement, which is appropriate and careful.

Maybe thinking of Mei Xiaotong's current situation, Li Jiushao did not attract attention to the silver, but gave Mei Xiaotong the house and Zhuangzi in the state capital that they currently lack the most.

Not to mention anything else, the courtyard of the three entrances of Qingzhou Mansion is at least three thousand silver, and there is a Zhuangzi, two or three hundred acres of land, plus a hill, this shot is tens of thousands of silver, where to say, it is also a big deal.

Moreover, this Zhuangzi and Liangtian are not something that ordinary people can buy if they want to.

Mei Xiaotong: What they lack now is the field, in this time and space, the field is the most important thing, and it is also something that will not depreciate.

Li Jiushao's return gift was generous, and it was also very satisfactory.

Mei Xiaotong was satisfied, she liked to deal with such a person, and nodded politely at the moment: "That's great!" I was planning to go to the state capital for a walk when my mother got better, and I was still worried about where to settle down at that time, so I don't have to worry about this yard! ”

As he spoke, he took the deed book that Li Jiu Shao took out of his arms, read it carefully, and then put it away.

Then he nodded at Li Jiushao: "We are clear!" ”

Li Jiu Shao raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, picked up the box, took out a piece of paper, and scanned it quickly

At a glance, he closed the box and put it into his arms.

"I just heard Wang Niangzi say that she wants to go to the state capital, it just so happens that my family also has a few boats on the Jingjiang River, and there are a few guest rooms on them, if you want to go to the state capital, you can get on our ship directly, not to mention anything else, safety can be guaranteed."

Even people's yards and Zhuangzi have been collected, and taking a boat is a trivial matter, Mei Xiaotong knows that this is also a show of goodwill by Li Jiushao.

It is said whether he will get on the boat of the Li family in the future, but Mei Xiaotong behaved very indifferently: "When the time comes, it will be bothered!" ”

Li Jiushao showed his first smile when he entered the courtyard with satisfaction, Mei Xiaotong did not refuse his overtures, at least he regarded him as a friend, not an outsider, right?

Thinking so, Li Jiushao picked up a cup of tea, took two sips, and became interested in chatting: "Mrs. Wang will not do business in the future, what are you going to do?" ”

He really felt a little sorry that such a woman retreated to her home like this, and lived a life around the stove child.

couldn't help but think in his heart, if Mei Xiaotong married him, he would definitely not confine Mei Xiaotong at home, but would encourage Mei Xiaotong to do business, she has this talent, I am afraid that only in their family can she play it completely and unrestrained.

It's a pity to marry a scholar like An Huahao, who is used to being old-fashioned and boring!

Thinking of this, Li Jiushao's face showed a trace of regret.

Mei Xiaotong didn't know how to read minds, so naturally she didn't know what Li Jiu Shao was sorry for, so she only smiled: "I don't have any plans for the time being." Now I just want my mother's body to get better—"

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered, didn't she want to study medicine? But if you learn it so suddenly, won't you tell others that something is wrong?

Originally, she was still worried about how to make studying medicine above board, at least there must be a cover on the surface.

But didn't Li Jiushao send a Du Taiyi to the door?

It's a great candidate.

At that moment, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Jiushao without blinking: "Jiushao, is Imperial Physician Du's medical skills first-class in the capital palace?" ”

Li Jiushao was looked at by Mei Xiaotong so straightly, he only felt a fever in his ears, and he was a little uncomfortable, and forced himself to sit upright, so he couldn't see a flaw, so he deliberately said casually: "That's true!" If you are worried about your aunt's body, rest assured, with this old guy's help, your aunt can live to be eighty years old! ”

Mei Xiaotong slapped his face, great, it's him!

looked at Li Jiu Shao expectantly: "Jiu Shao, you said that if I worship Imperial Doctor Du as a teacher, learn a little medical skills from him to take care of my mother, or make nourishing medicinal food or something, will he agree?" ”

Li Jiu said a word, don't daydream, you can not daydream on your lips, seeing Mei Xiaotong's bright eyes in anticipation, you can't say anything about the blow.

After hesitating for a moment, he said very tactfully: "Du."

The doctor told the old man to return to his hometown, because he wanted to return to his hometown to recuperate. Over the years, he has also accepted a lot of apprentices in the capital, not to mention that it is his eldest apprentice who has taken his place in the Tai Hospital now, and he is also his eldest son. Besides, I haven't heard of a woman studying medicine in the world—"

Anyway, the meaning of the words is not to think nonsense, it is impossible.

Mei Xiaotong refused to give up: "I don't want to learn from the ancestral mastery of Taiyi Du and his old man, I just want to follow his old man to learn how to take care of an old man like my mother, and know how to prevent and treat the diseases that the old man often gets——"

But when it came to this, I also felt that it seemed a little embarrassing for Jiu Shao, so he hurriedly stopped talking: "What Jiu Shao said is that I also owe it to me, I'm really sorry!" ”

Li Jiushao looked at Mei Xiaotong apologizing to him, and suddenly became unhappy again.

I didn't say I wouldn't help her, did I? Just a few words, and then they were divided?

Where does Mei Xiaotong think like this, but she just thinks that this matter should not be difficult for Li Jiushao.

Li Jiu Shao was able to snatch Imperial Doctor Du almost Ming to her house and treat Mrs. Zhang, which was already a great favor.

I can't ask for more!

Besides, she could see that Imperial Physician Du liked tea, and what she drank just now was only primary tea, and she was already shocked.

It's really not good, and sending the tea leaves fried by the intermediate roasted tea machine to Taiyi Du for a pound or two may not be able to impress him.

made up her mind, and Mei Xiaotong kept silent about it.

However, Li Jiushao was concerned about this matter in his heart, and he always wanted to turn the topic around, so that Mei Xiaotong could say a few more words to himself, but he was embarrassed and reluctantly agreed.

Then go home and tie up the old man of Imperial Doctor Du in front of Mei Xiaotong!

But since Mei Xiaotong didn't want to make Li Jiushao embarrassed in the middle, she naturally tried to deviate from the topic, and until An Huahao came back, she hadn't gone back.

Li Jiushao was discouraged again, and he was a little unsatisfied, and he chatted with Mei Xiaotong for a long time, although Mei Xiaotong sometimes used words too straightforward and slightly vulgar, but he was quick-minded, and his vision and pattern were no less than that of men.

If Mei Xiaotong was a man, he would have to bow to someone on the spot, and then sit in the same bed and talk eloquently.

When An Huahao came back, he was not alone, following Gu Zikai.

As soon as the two of them entered the courtyard and saw Li Jiushao, they were stunned.

Gu Zikai spoke first: "Why are you here again?" ”

Li Jiushao's face darkened: "You can come, I can't come?" ”

As soon as the two met, a smell of gunpowder permeated the room, and they didn't like each other.

Gu Zikai's usual gentle smile couldn't hold back: "Brother Song and I are both classmates and neighbors, and we are out of school together today, and we just came back to visit my aunt." But aren't you busy with your business in Qingzhou Mansion? Why did you come to Jingxian to do something? ”

Li Jiushao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he rolled his eyes very impatiently: "Where am I going to be your ninth master, and do you want to agree?" I am happy to be the ninth master, today in Jing County, tomorrow I will go back to the state capital, and I will come back in the background, can you manage it? With this leisure, nerd, you should read a few more books, don't be famous when the time comes! ”

"Your Gu family treats you like a phoenix egg, and you have already let out the rumors, saying that you will be lifted this year, if you fail the exam by then, then there will be a joke! I'm afraid that your Gu family's face will be lost! ”

When Gu Zikai heard this, his face sank.

Although An Huahao heard the two of them have a strong smell of gunpowder, it always sounds a little strange.

But this is not the time to think too much, as the host, it is always the host's problem for the guest to quarrel at home.

Busy stepping forward to solve the siege. finally separated the two, sat down again, and poured a cup of hot tea for one person, and barely mediated. Bookmark this site

Mrs. Ding cautiously approached and asked the master's family, what do you eat at night? Whether the guests will stay or not, whether they should prepare in advance.

Looking at the sky, I thought that Gu Zikai and Li Jiushao were sick this time, and they all helped a lot, and Zhang Pozi's body had not recovered well a few days ago, and she was not in the mood to have a treat.

It's rare that both of them are in the Song family today, An Huahao and Mei Xiaotong only glanced at each other, and then stayed together for dinner.

Li Jiushao and Gu Zikai were a little flattered when they heard this invitation, they had been dealing with Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao for a long time, and they had never enjoyed the treatment of staying for dinner.

What's more, both of them were a little reluctant to leave this small courtyard, and even forgot their usual politeness.

Li Jiu Shao opened his mouth here: "Okay, just try the craftsmanship of the family cook——"

Over there, Gu Zikai also said: "Warmly invited, but disrespectful-"

After An Huahao said that he invited the two of them to dinner, he thought that the two of them would have to be polite or two, and he rolled the polite words with Mei Xiaotong in his heart, but he didn't expect Li Jiushao and Gu Zikai to be so pure and unpretentious, so readily agreed.

But the two of them had to swallow the words in their stomachs.

Since he decided to stay for dinner, An Huahao accompanied the guests in the courtyard, and Mei Xiaotong personally went to the stove house with Mrs. Ding to work.

Mrs. Zhang went back to the house to continue to rest after letting Dr. Du see the doctor, and when she heard that she was going to keep guests for dinner, she hurriedly asked Mrs. Wu to come out to help.

Three women are busy working in the stove house, three men outside, a pot of tea, two plates of snacks, but the world, the customs, and the reading experience, only chatting eyebrows and dancing, very happy.

Because they are all distinguished guests, they must not be neglected.

Mei Xiaotong first sent Mrs. Wu to buy some vegetables and came back, they only ate four or five people on weekdays, where did Cheng think about the guests coming to this house, not to mention the wolf Hao around Gu Zikai, it is Li Jiushao, the prosperity around him, and a few personal guards, a total of more than a dozen people, where is the food prepared at home?

Gu Zikai is careful, too

Paying attention to the situation in the stove house, seeing Mei Xiaotong instructing Mrs. Wu to go grocery shopping, she vaguely heard something unrestrained, and the words of buying a good one came faintly.

I knew it in my heart, beckoned Wolf Hao to come over, and commanded a few words in my ear.

Wolf Hao took the order and sneaked out of the courtyard of the Song family and went to the front yard.

After a while, Mrs. Li knocked on the door, saying that she hadn't seen her son-in-law come back, and she heard the laughter of her son-in-law in the backyard, so she came over to take a look.

Naturally, he stayed and went into the stove house to help.

There are two masters on the stove, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Li, and there is indeed no room for Mei Xiaotong to play.

On the contrary, there are some obstacles that hinder the performance of the two.

Mei Xiaotong had no choice but to leave the stove house in amazement.

When An Huahao saw her come out, he was still busy working in the stove house for a while, except for a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, he hurriedly took out a handkerchief for her to wipe, poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to Mei Xiaotong's hand, and almost fed and drank.

Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao are used to being like this every day, and they don't think so.

can be seen in the eyes of Li Jiushao and Gu Zikai, it is extremely dazzling, how can it not look good.

Li Jiushao was uncomfortable, so naturally he would not be comfortable: "Brother Song, Wang Niangzi is so capable, but now she can only stay at home, take care of her, and stay in the inner house from now on, how can you bear it?" ”

Gu Zikai heard it for the first time, and he was a little confused: "Why stay at home?" Stuck in the house? But what happened? There are places where you need to put a hand, even if you open your mouth. ”

Li Jiu rarely saw Gu Zikai still didn't know, and when the news that Mei Xiaotong was not doing business and was going home was a little proud, Gu Zikai was stunned for a moment before saying: "Mrs. Wang is so filial and pious, I think my aunt will definitely recover soon!" ”
