Chapter 235: Asking for Help
There is only a little upset, that is, the Lu family is like a dog skin plaster, and the old lady, Lu Fangming, and Lu Xin will come to disgust them every once in a while. Lu Man will definitely not see them, but He Cheng is unwilling to cause trouble for his sister, because they will wait at the door if they don't see them. I had to meet them once in a while, and then send them away.
Once, Lu Fangming used the bait to let He Cheng take the test and let He Cheng return to the Lu family to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. Seeing that He Cheng didn't enter, he was so angry that he stepped forward and slapped He Cheng in the mouth, scolding him for having no interest, no ambition, and being raised crooked by a woman......
He Cheng was also unhappy, and argued, "I was not raised crookedly by a woman, at least I never thought of supporting myself with a woman's money." I will work hard to make my mother and me live a good life on my own. will also support her sister and prevent others from bullying her. ”
His words made Lu Fangming ashamed, and he rushed away angrily, and then he didn't lick his face to find He Cheng again.
The first day of March was the seventh birthday of Jiang Zhankui's younger brother and sister, and Lu Man and He Shi gave them a table. invited Jiang Zhanyan and Grandma Xie's family of four to celebrate their birthday.
Because the eldest princess and the old concubine entered the palace that day, the old concubine would not come, so they invited the old man Xie here. Old Man Xie has long wanted to come to Donghui Courtyard to play, because of the relationship between the old concubine, he has never been invited before.
He didn't invite Jiang Zhanyu and a few other slightly older gentlemen, because Lu Man didn't want to invite Jiang Zhanxun. That child, there is no shortage of problems with the children. Lu Man didn't like him very much, and he didn't want He Cheng to make such a friend.
Lu Man asked Grandma Xie about the situation of the female gentleman again. Jiang Jiu is seven years old, and she has to hire a gentleman for her.
Grandma Xie smiled, "Okay, I'll help you inquire." ”
On the third day, Grandma Xie brought a female gentleman in her thirties to Donghui Courtyard. The female gentleman's surname is Ruan, and he died in his twenties, and he has a bit of talent, so he has been working as a husband for the daughter of a large family.
After that, Jiang Jiu also began to follow Mr. Ruan to school for an hour and a half every morning. The class is temporarily arranged in the West Cross Courtyard where she lives, and when He Cheng moves out, he will go to his room for class.
In a flash, in the middle of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, and Lu Man's belly is pregnant.
Seeing the slightly convex belly and feeling the little things slowly growing up in it, from a small fetus to a small life, the happiness is indescribable. Lu Man's heart is getting softer and softer, and he is also ashamed of complaining that the child is not at the right time in the past.
This is her child, the child she conceived with her life and blood, who will come to this world with her life and blood, and carry and continue her life, and pass it on from generation to generation...... Thinking of that cute, soft child, Lu Man's heart was overflowing with happiness.
The sense of happiness and responsibility of becoming a mother is getting stronger and stronger, and Lu Man is also more eager to connect the relationship with the eldest princess and the old concubine more solidly, and run Tongrentang better, and strongly hopes to establish a relationship network through his medical skills. If one day she really wants to separate from Jiang Zhanwei, it is best to take the child away. I really can't take it away, but I also have to create a good living environment for the child, and the stepmother can't or even dare not embarrass him (her......
After the efforts of Shopkeeper Li and Lu Man's sincerity, a shop next to Tongrentang has been bought. This courtyard was smaller than Tongrentang, and it cost 3,500 taels of silver. Lu Man wants to turn this courtyard into an inpatient department, which is currently being renovated.
Lu Man originally wanted to transform the Sanjin courtyard he bought before into a large general hospital, but after thinking about it, he would take a later step. The port in that place is not very good, unlike Tongrentang Street, which is densely populated. Moreover, you can't be too maverick now, and you have to eat one bite at a time.
On March 18, Song Mo, who came to Donghui Courtyard to play, said that his grandmother's health was a little bad.
When Lu Man heard this, he asked He and Jiang Jiu to take Song Mo to play in Donghui Courtyard, while she took He Cheng and Lu Aya to Hejun Wangfu. She had long wanted to introduce He Cheng to Song Ming, but she never had the opportunity, and today happened to kill two birds with one stone.
When he came to the Hejun Palace, Song Ming greeted the courtyard where the old princess lived.
Lu Man curtsied Song Ming, and then pulled He Cheng and said, "This is my brother He Cheng, he has been learning medical skills from me......"
He Cheng knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "The grass people have seen the prince of the county. ”
Song Ming hurriedly helped He Cheng up, and said with a smile, "I've heard Mo'er say it," and looked He Cheng up and down again, and said, "It's really a good talent." As he spoke, he brought him a string of red coral beads as a greeting gift.
entered the bedroom of the old and princess, and the old and the princess were still half-leaning on the head of the bed. He Cheng, as Lu Man's assistant, also came in.
When the princess heard that He Cheng was Lu Man's younger brother, she also liked it very much, took his hand and praised him a few words, and asked people to give him a superb jade pendant as a gift.
After that, Lu Man checked her pulse and suggested that she take digitalis twice. Because the old princess is allergic to digitalis, she has to take Bai Hezi to detoxify after taking this medicine, and Lu Man has to give her an injection to relieve Bai Hezi's poison.
It's too late.
After eating, Lu Man smiled with Song Ming, "My younger brother is a child from the countryside, pure and good, Sven, and has never seen the world." When he first came to the capital, I was afraid that he would offend people who should not be offended if he did not do things properly, so I wanted to ask the prince of the county to help take care of it. ”
Song Ming also understood what Lu Man meant, this child is indeed too good-looking, and it is easy to be targeted. Lu Man has done him two great favors, but he has been unable to repay them. This time, I finally begged him to do something, and of course he had to do it seriously.
Hurriedly smiled, "It's easy to say." Another day, I will invite a few friends to drink, and let He Gongzi accompany me when the time comes. He is a little friend valued by this king, and he is a relative of the princess of Changting, even if he does not handle things properly, he is not something that others can look down on. ”
He Cheng is young, and he has been in the countryside before, where the people are simple, even if someone is lustful, it is also the color of a good big girl, and there has never been a good man. So he didn't understand the meaning of his sister and the county prince's words, and thought that the county prince said "look down" because he was from the countryside. His face was slightly red, and he made up his mind in his heart that he must study hard, pay attention to his appearance, and not discredit his capable sister.
After dinner, the old princess was fed digitalis again, and then detoxified, and Lu Man and the others returned home. Because Song Mo didn't meet Lu Man much in Donghui Courtyard today, Sapo didn't go home and lived there.
On the twentieth, Song Ming invited a treat, and also invited a little friend He Cheng. After He Cheng was dressed up by his sister, he took Liu Xin, Bai Zhi and a few subordinates out of the door. Because He Cheng was going out alone to see a nobleman for the first time, Lu Man was not at ease. not only asked Liu Xin to tell him a lot of precautions in the capital, but also asked Liu Xin to accompany him.
