Chapter 286: The Sadness of the Times

Li Yue thought about it carefully, in addition to not doing his job properly, Jinbao was indeed not so hateful this week, although he said that he was ugly at the beginning, and he slapped him twice, and then he still obediently called her cousin-in-law, and he didn't think about revenge on himself.

So Li Yue opened her mouth and said, "Well, guide it a little, as long as you don't go down the wrong path, it's not hopeless." ”

Li Yun remembered that Li Yue and Zhou Jinbao were quietly discussing the matter of going to see the Oiran behind his back, and said coldly, "You should reflect on yourself, don't let him lead you down the wrong path." ”

Li Yue looked at Li Yun inexplicably, not understanding what Li Yun meant, "What kind of mess?" ”

Li Yun put away the expression on his face, shook his head, and responded, "It's okay." Looking at Li Yue's appearance, it is estimated that he had forgotten about the discussion between the two of them to see the Oiran, and he would not remind Li Yue again.

It was already evening, and the kitchen quickly sent someone to bring dinner, but this time it was sent by two family members, but there was no beautiful little girl, Li Yun and Li Yue were quite satisfied.

Li Yun was satisfied that there was finally no little maid to block Yue'er, lest the little maid block Yue'er, and Yue'er would be angry with him.

Li Yue is satisfied, after all, it is not a beautiful little girl who hooked up with Li Yun under the banner of delivering food.

When the two of them were having dinner, Li Zhong came back with his two mothers-in-law.

Li Yue held the bowl, stuffed the food into her mouth, looked at the two middle-aged women in front of her, looked honest, swallowed the food in her mouth, Li Yue said, "Let's talk about each of you." ”

The two middle-aged women were slightly stunned, puzzled and looked at the woman in front of them who had no food, their future masters.

Li Yue had no choice but to speak, "Why did you end up in the hands of the people, the situation at home. Li Yue also had her own plans, and inquired about their situation, also to learn more about these two people, she didn't want the people around her to be too dangerous, causing them to become a threat to herself in the future.

The two finally understood what Li Yue meant, and the older lady said first, "The slave maid is from Yanjing, the husband died early, the slave maid alone pulled the eldest son to marry a daughter-in-law, and also had a grandson, the son died in an accident three years ago, leaving us three generations of old and weak women and children to rely on each other, some time ago, the grandson was seriously ill, in order to treat the grandson, the slave and the maid were all over the family, but that was the only son of the slave and the son, and the slave had to sell herself to the son to save the grandson. ”

With such a life experience, this woman recounted it calmly, it seems that she has experienced too much pain, and she can control her emotions well and deal with it calmly, which makes Li Yue very satisfied, and she continued to ask, "What about the daughter-in-law and grandson?" ”

The woman replied, "The daughter-in-law takes her grandson to wash dishes and do odd jobs in a restaurant outside during the day, and takes care of her grandson at night. ”

Li Yue said, "Let your daughter-in-law and grandson come over, I also know a little bit about medical skills, and I will show her your grandson's illness when the time comes." ”

The woman hurriedly shook her head and said, "The slave doesn't want her daughter-in-law and grandson to be sold into slavery, thank you for your kindness." ”

Li Yue smiled and said, "I didn't say that let your daughter-in-law sell herself to her grandson, just like a restaurant helper, you don't need to sign a deed of sale." ”

The woman looked at Li Yue with gratitude, and said hesitantly, "Then, can the slave maid bring her daughter-in-law and grandson to live here with the slave maid?" The house of the family...... In order to catch the medicine for his grandson, he has also sold it. ”

Li Yue responded, "Okay, go and bring the people, Li Zhong, and arrange a place for them to live when the time comes." ”

The woman knelt down in front of Li Yue excitedly, kowtowed to Li Yue, and said, "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam." ”

Li Yue frowned and said, "Okay, get up, hurry up and find your daughter-in-law and grandson to pick it up, so as not to sleep in the wilderness again at night." ”

Li Zhong called the guards to take the woman out, and Li Yue looked at the other woman and said, "It's your turn." ”

The woman's eyes flickered, and then she threw herself at Li Yue's feet, and said with a handful of tears and snot, "Madam, the slave maid also has a son, who is seriously ill and needs a lot of silver to grab medicine, and the slave maid has no choice but to sell himself as a slave." ”

Li Yue looked at the fake face of the woman kneeling in front of her, she couldn't eat the food that fed her mouth, and said coldly with some annoyance, "Got it, you get up." ”

The woman still had some eyes, seeing that Li Yue's face was not good, she hurriedly put away her tears and stood up, Li Yue said to Li Zhong on the side, "She will send her to the kitchen to help." After that, Li Yue turned around and began to eat, no longer looking at the woman.

Of course, Li Zhong understood what Li Yue meant, this was because the lady didn't want this person, so she threw it directly into the kitchen of the Zhou family, so he called the woman and asked her to leave with him.

Li Yue said in time, "Wait, when we're done eating, we'll clean up the dishes and chopsticks here." ”

The woman didn't dare to make another attempt, she stood aside obediently and waited, but she couldn't figure it out in her heart, and she looked even more pitiful, why was this lady so kind to that old woman, and so lukewarm to herself?

Li Yue ate a little too much at night, so she pulled Li Yue and hung lanterns in the corridors on both sides of the courtyard, and by the way, she consumed her food, and when she saw the woman coming over with hot water, she said loudly, "That, you come here." ”

The woman put down the bucket, came to Li Yue's side, and bowed, "The slave has seen the lady." ”

Li Yue said, "What's your surname?" ”

The woman replied, "The slave's surname is Wu, and the husband's surname is Guan." ”

Li Yue said, "Then I'll call you Mother Wu from now on, did your daughter-in-law and grandson pick it up?" ”

The woman saluted Li Yue and said, "I really want to thank Madame, the slave maid has already taken over the daughter-in-law and grandson, and Master Li Zhong has arranged a place to live, but the grandson is sick, so it is not good to bring them to thank Madame." ”

Li Yue said, "Bring it here, I'll show him." ”

The woman hesitated and glanced at Li Yue before responding, "No, thank you, madam." Then the woman brought the hot water to the house, and then left with the empty bucket to take her grandson.

Li Yun hung the lantern while saying to Li Yue, "How can you care so much about this subordinate's affairs?" ”

Li Yue responded, "Even if you want to stay by your side, you must be heartfelt enough, this Mother Wu is good, if she treats her daughter-in-law and grandson well, she should be a person who knows gratitude." ”

Li Yun listened to Li Yue's words, but he also felt that there was some truth.

Not long after that, Wu's mother brought her daughter-in-law and grandson over, Wu's mother-in-law was only about twenty years old, but she was very thin, holding her son with blank eyes, I am afraid that she has suffered a lot.

Li Yue asked Li Yun to stay and continue to hang the lanterns, and beckoned them to the front hall before she spoke, "What's your name?" ”

The woman glanced at Li Yue, lowered her head again, and stammered a little timidly, "The little one, the little one is called Xu Qingqing." The child in Xu Qingqing's arms seemed to hear her mother's words and moved in her arms.

Li Yue looked at the child in her arms and said, "Hold the child to me." ”

Xu Qingqing hugged the child tightly, looked at Li Yue with some hesitation, and then looked at her mother-in-law on the side, and listened to her mother-in-law and said, "What are you doing in a daze, take it over and show it to Mrs." Xu Qingqing carried the child over and carefully put the child in Li Yue's arms.

Li Yue was about the same age as her younger brother in her arms, but she was a thinner child than her younger brother, and she was very distressed.

The child seemed to be very uncomfortable, his eyes were slightly closed, Li Yue touched the child's forehead, it was so hot, and then Li Yue took the child's wrist to check the child's pulse.

After taking the pulse, Li Yue sighed, pneumonia, if it burns like this, I am afraid that my life is worried, in this era, a small pneumonia is forcing the family to go bankrupt, and it has not been able to cure the child's disease, how sad it is.

Li Yue said to Li Zhong on the side, "Go and get the package of my medicine bottle." ”

Then he said to the two people in front of him, "I'll get you some medicine and feed it to the child, and then you go to the pharmacy to grab some anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing medicine for the child to treat wind and cold, and I will let Li Zhong give you the medicine money first, and then it will be deducted from your monthly money." ”

Mother Wu's eyes flashed with tears, and she pulled her daughter-in-law to kneel in front of Li Yue gratefully, and said, "Thank you, madam, the slave is willing to be a cow and a horse for Mrs. in the future, in order to reciprocate Mrs.'s kindness." ”

Li Yue responded, "Get up, take good care of the children, stay by my side in the future and do things carefully, where can you be a cow or a horse." ”

Mother Wu pulled her daughter-in-law and kowtowed to Li Yue again, "Thank you, madam." Then the two got up.

Li Yue looked at the little child in her arms, and said distressedly, "Take good care of him, give him the medicine I gave, and he should be able to wake up tomorrow morning, Mother Wu, you go to the kitchen and get some gruel for the child, that, Qingqing, I will ask Li Zhong to find you some wine in a while, and you use wine to wipe the child's body at night, so that it is easy to reduce the fever." ”

At this time, Li Zhong had already come over with Li Yue's burden, Li Yue handed the child back to Xu Qingqing, and then took out a porcelain bottle from the pile of bottles and jars, poured six pills, handed them to Wu's mother, and instructed, "One a day, when the fever subsides, don't be in a hurry to break the wind and cold medicine, and then break it when it is completely healed. ”

"Thank you, ma'am." After thanking them, the two went down with the child.

Li Yue asked Li Zhong to take care of them more, and then went to the back to find Li Yun and continue to hang the lantern.

Li Zhong was very puzzled, how could his wife be so attentive to these people. In fact, Li Yue looked at these three people and felt that they were very similar to the three of them in the past, so she used some special care, Li Yue didn't know at this time that her unintentional intentions at this time would be of such great use in the future.

Li Yun and Li Yue worked together to hang lanterns on the corridors on both sides of the courtyard, and then lit them, standing in front of the door of the inner house, looking at the flickering lanterns in the corridors on both sides, Li Yue smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is a bit of a New Year's flavor, tomorrow we will go to the back yard and hang lanterns on the plum blossom tree, it must be very beautiful." ”

Li Yun replied with a smile on his face, "Okay." ”

When Li Yue woke up the next day, Li Yun had long been gone, and Li Yue remembered that when he was sleeping in a daze, Li Yun got up and went to the morning court, and the position next to him was already out of temperature.

Li Yue sighed and sat up, and Mother Wu pushed the door in, and said to Li Yue on the bed, "Madame is awake?" ”

As he spoke, he took the clothes to the bedside, intending to serve Li Yue to dress, Li Yue took the clothes and said, "I'll do it myself." ”

While Li Yue was dressing, she asked Wu's mother, who was cleaning up the bed next to her, "Is the child awake?" Is there a fever? ”

Speaking of her grandson, Wu's mother showed a kind smile on her face and responded, "I really want to thank Madame, the child has woken up and eaten half a bowl of porridge in the morning." ”

Li Yue responded, "That's good, remember to feed her medicine on time." ”

Mother Wu nodded in response, "The slave can save it." ”

Li Yue sat in front of the dresser, thinking that Li Yun was not there, sighed, and said, "Mother Wu can help me comb my hair." ”

After Li Yue finished freshening up, he went to the living room, baked the charcoal fire, and waited for Li Yun to come back for breakfast, and then waited for Li Yue to be hungry and ready to eat first, Li Yun finally came back.

Li Yue remembered that she didn't come back so late yesterday, took the cloak on Li Yun's shoulders and handed it to Wu's mother, the two sat down at the dinner table, Li Yue asked, "Why is it so late today?" ”

Li Yun roasted his hands on the charcoal fire, pinched Li Yue's somewhat cool hands and rubbed them, and said, "The matter of the New Year's banquet, plus Wu Shangshu's trouble about his grandson's injury to the king, Zhou Yuanhou, who has always been cowardly, is also fighting hard for his grandson this time, and the two of them insisted on their own words in the court and quarreled for a long time. ”

Li Yue was a little surprised and said, "Trouble to the king?" This week, Jinbao beat people, Wu Shangshu took advantage, he could wait for the judgment of the yamen, how could he still make trouble with the king? ”

Li Yunying said, "The prefect of Yanjing is Yan Jiu's person, he can't cover the sky with one hand, and Wu Shangshu still has some scruples about me, the general and you, the newly canonized county lord, so he doesn't dare to mess around, so he has to go to the king to ask for justice." ”

Li Yue understood and continued to ask, "What is the attitude of the king?" ”
