Chapter VII

Xiao Ru was so angry, Jiang Yu's face swelled red for a moment, and he didn't dare to refute half a sentence, Jiang Tian's black and red face also showed a little timidity, and the two brothers instinctively made the same action - bowed their heads, and reacted very quickly, obviously not the first time they did this.

Gao Xiaoru counted the two brothers of the Jiang family from head to toe without hurry, and her heart calmed down, Jiang Tian saw that she was relieved, and hurriedly took down the book on Jiang Yu's head with her hands and feet, and respectfully placed it on the half-crippled table in front of Xiaoru.

Xiaoru continued to write a prescription, "Brother Jiang, don't take what I said seriously, in fact, there is nothing wrong with Second Brother Jiang at all, he was born prematurely and weakly, and there are many children with congenital deficiencies, how can others be healthy, and it won't be done if you put it on the second brother, I know you feel sorry for your brother, but I've also said it several times, don't let him be idle, usually chop firewood, sweep the floor, and don't get tired of him......"

Jiang Tian snorted for a long time: "Brother Yu, Brother Yu is a scholar, how can you, how can you do these rough jobs......"

In a word, Xiao Ru choked for a long time, Brother Xiao Lou saw that his daughter-in-law's cheeks rose a little red because of anger, a smile flashed in his eyes, coughed, and before he could speak, Xiao Ru turned his head and squinted at him, "Brother Xiao Lou, are you a scholar?" ”

"Uh......" Xiao Lou originally wanted to be modest, but when he saw the cold light in his daughter-in-law's eyes, the words that he was about to say turned on the tip of his tongue, and swallowed back, "I have been with my teacher for ten years, and I can't do without poetry and books for a day, and I should be regarded as a reader......

Xiao Ru raised her eyebrows, "Brother Xiaolou is really modest, if the disciples of the old man Sun Zhi, the master of the cloth country, are not considered scholars, then in this world, it is estimated that more than half of the old men should return to their hometowns to farm." ”

After listening to Xiao Ru's words, Jiang Tian was still ignorant, but Jiang Yu jumped up from the bed all of a sudden, and his pale face also showed a touch of blush because of excitement, he stared at Brother Xiaolou with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Could it be that you are the beloved disciple of Lord Gongsun, the master of the cloth country...... It is the Gongsun Lord who wrote "The Spring and Autumn Ming Classic" and "The Eighteen Policies of Current Affairs......"

Brother Xiaolou smiled bitterly, glanced at Xiaoru, nodded and said, "I think, there will be no second grandson in the world......"

Jiang Yu was stunned, and a dreamy glow appeared on his face, but unfortunately, he didn't have time to express his full admiration, Xiao Ru sneered: "I don't know at other times, let's just say that Brother Xiaolou has been coming home for more than half a month, and he is still sick, but half of the heavy work such as chopping wood and carrying water at home has fallen on him, not to mention the small work of sweeping the floor and cleaning his own room, let me ask you, Second Brother Jiang, no matter how noble you are, are you more expensive than the old man's disciple?" ”

Jiang Yu's face suddenly swelled red, and he looked at Brother Xiaolou for a long time, feeling ashamed and anxious, "I, I'm not ......"

"What are you? We've known each other for two years, but inside and outside your family, up and down, which one is not in charge of Brother Jiang, all year round, in addition to reading and writing, you are sick and lying crookedly on the bed, and your clothes come to reach out for food to open your mouth, I estimate that if Brother Jiang goes out for ten days and a half months, you can starve yourself to death...... It is said that I should not be an outsider to ask about your family's idle affairs, but I am your doctor, how many patients I have cured in the past two years, and eight out of ten are more serious than yours, and I have meagre skills, but I can't put my reputation on you......"

Jiang Tian said curtly: "Young lady, don't be angry, you really can't blame Brother Yu, it's me who didn't let him do rough work......"

Xiao Ru frowned, sighed, took out the golden needle from the medicine box, and walked over to use the needle on Jiang Yu's fish and Tianze acupoints: "Brother Jiang, second brother, you may have also heard that our Lou family will move out after a while." ”

Jiang Tian's face showed a little sadness, and he said, "I haven't congratulated the young lady's family on the reunion." Of course he heard the news, it's just that the Jiang family really doesn't have much money, and his younger brother is always sick, Xiaoru used to treat them, and they didn't need a consultation fee, and they generally opened medicinal materials that could be collected in the mountains, only occasionally some were expensive, Xiaoru also sold them at a low price from his own medicine garden, which could support them for so many years, if Xiaoru left, the Jiang family might be difficult.

"Brother Jiang, I know that the second brother is bent on participating in the imperial examination, but he is now old, he can't be idle, it's better to find an errand." After Xiao Ru finished the consultation, he cleaned up and said with a smile, "If the two eldest brothers are willing, I have a proposal." ”

The two brothers of the Jiang family glanced at each other, Jiang Yu looked at Xiao Ru in surprise and said, "Young lady, please speak." In fact, he also felt that he should find a job to do, but the eldest brother didn't want him to work too hard, and he didn't know what he should do.

Xiao Ru smiled: "Second Brother Jiang might as well go to the Lou family to be my Fu'er's Xixi, don't be in a hurry to refuse, in fact, my proposal is beneficial to both of us, now Fu'er is almost six years old, she should also read and write, it is not easy for her to invite a Xixi who knows the roots and will not say anything nonsense to her, and now that the Lou family lives in Gongsun Zhi's old man, doesn't Second Brother Jiang want to see her?" Besides, the second brother wants to participate in next year's imperial examination, and he always has to go to the capital, go with us, and just save the travel fee, if the eldest brother is not at ease, he can also follow, it can be regarded as a temporary help, and he works for a short time, anyway, my family has sent a lot of people now, and there is a shortage of manpower. ”

The words made the two brothers' hearts moved, and Jiang Yu's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Gongsun Zhi's name, and he immediately nodded again and again, agreeing, and when Brother Jiang saw that his younger brother was so happy, he had to touch his nose and respond.

Xiaoru is very satisfied, in fact, she has been looking for a Xixi seat for Fu'er, but Fu'er has Hu blood, she doesn't want the teacher to discriminate against her, talking nonsense in front of her, and if she goes to the capital, there are more people who are above the top, I'm afraid I don't want to make a Xixi seat for a little girl, then it's troublesome, I can't let Gongsun stop the old man to make a cameo! Therefore, after thinking about it, Jiang Yu is more suitable, he has good knowledge and is familiar with himself, and he will never be unsatisfied with Fu'er.

At this time, it was not early, because Xiao Ru said that there would be heavy rain at night, and the two of them had to go to the market to buy some things, since the matter of Xixi was decided, they also got up to say goodbye, but she and Brother Xiaolou just stood up, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking the sky outside, followed by a sharp eagle roar, Brother Xiaolou frowned, and the two brothers of Xiaoru and the Jiang family showed a little smile at the same time. The golden monkey Duoduo, who had been following Xiao Ru's feet, suddenly rushed into Xiao Ru's arms, grinning his teeth, but showing a fierce look, Xiao Ru couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
