What is very surprising is that half a year later, Chen Zong actually returned to his home in Luoyang, although his clothes were ragged, but they were intact. He claimed to have been kidnapped by robbers, but luckily he was resourceful and found an opportunity to escape.

The eldest Chen Xiang was a little suspicious, how could there be a robber who kidnapped the ticket and did not send a letter to his family? However, this does not matter, as long as the younger brother comes back safely.

"Old Five, you came back just in time, recuperate for a while, and hurry up to Lingnan," Chen Xiang said in a low voice, "Father learned the news of my mother's death, I can't bear to get seriously ill, you have to go and serve." ”

"What?" Chen Zong was a little dumbfounded, "I still have to keep filial piety for my mother." ”

"No, I'm here, and my father needs more people to serve him. ”

So, half a month later, Chen Zong set off from Luoyang again, but the world evaporated again.

After knowing the news, Chen Xiang was half angry and smashed many beloved porcelain. Although he was angry, his father was still seriously ill and could not be taken care of by no one, so Chen Xiang selected a few families of the side tribe to migrate to Lingnan, so there was the Lingnan Chen family.

may know that this time the matter is very serious, Chen Zong has never appeared again. A year later, Chen Shou unexpectedly met Chen Zong in Lingnan, and he was sent here. It turned out that Chen Zong lingered in the Qinglou on the Qinhuai River, and the money was spent, and the debts were not repaid, and he was sued to the yamen.

It just so happened that the magistrate of the trial was a student of Chen Shou, and he knew something about the misfortune of the teacher's family, although he was not ashamed of Chen Zong's character, but he also intended to fulfill it, and with a stroke of the pen, he was exiled to Lingnan.

Chen Shou unexpectedly met his son, he was happy and angry, and he taught him a hard lesson, but he couldn't ignore it, after all, he was his own son, and there were only two points of blood left. So he asked someone to find a relationship to cancel the case record for Chen Zong and restore his fame. and also asked for him the daughter of the Huang family, a local clan in Lingnan, that is, Xiaoyu's mother.

Chen Shou originally thought that after getting married, with a small family, Chen Zong should be able to settle down, be more stable, and be more mature. However, three months after getting married, Chen Zong disappeared again, this time he learned to be obedient, and left a letter saying that he was going to the Central Plains to study and make friends, in preparation for the next year's township test.

Chen Zong "studied abroad" for more than half a year, and only came back at the end of the year, and Chen Shou was too lazy to pay attention to him. So his annual "study tour" has become the norm, only at the end of the year at home for two or three months, Xiaoyi's image of him is very vague, Chen Qi heard about this strange deeds from the gossip of his subordinates, and he is also very unkind to see him.

"Come, Xiaoyi, this is your father, I haven't seen him for more than half a year, why is he unfamiliar?" his mother greeted Chen Qi, "Come and kowtow to your father." ”

"Oh," Chen Qi pretended to be hazy and saluted reluctantly. Chen Zong wanted to pick up his son and show his closeness, but Chen Qi avoided him.

"Heh," Chen Zong was a little embarrassed, "I usually rarely get close, and Xiao Yu is a little recognizable, but this year, my husband has to stay at home for a few more months to get close." ”

"Really?" said the mother, with a look of surprise.

"Next March is the township exam, and if my husband wants to review his homework at home, he will definitely go to high school. ”

"That's great, husband, you are talented, and the township test is naturally easy. ”

"Of course, I'll tell you ...... for my husband."

Next is Chen Zong's boasting of his experience of "study tour" in the Central Plains, and his mother exclaimed and admired beside him, living like those little fans who chased stars in his previous life.

The two of them love to give out dog food in public, and they directly treat it as if others don't exist.

Chen Qi rolled his eyes in his heart, although Chen Zong was all kinds of waste, but he had the skill to tame his wife, and his mother, who was usually shrewd and capable, immediately dropped his IQ by ten levels when he encountered something about his husband.

Chen Zong does not return home all the year round, his mother thinks that this is normal, the boy is ambitious in all directions, and those who stay at home all the year round are all wastes. Chen Zong has tried and failed repeatedly for more than ten years, and his mother thinks that her husband is talented, but she is just unlucky. As for Chen Zong's strange deeds in the past, his mother directly identified it as slander, and it was those people who were jealous that he married the noble son of the Central Plains.

Chen Qi was tired in his heart, and he was not in the mood to watch them show affection, so he pushed open the door and walked out.

"Xiaoyi, hurry up and close the door, beware of poisonous insects coming in. Chen Zong shouted from behind. He has always believed that Lingnan is full of poisonous insects, and there is a danger of death if he is bitten, and every time he returns to Lingnan, he wraps himself tightly, and when he returns home, he has to close the doors and windows, and his mother is also very cooperative to burn a lot of insect-repellent spices.

"Little master, little master. ”

When Chen Qi walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard someone shouting in a low voice behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Chen Xiaojia cowering behind the rockery and waving to him, and kept looking around.

"Xiao Jia, what are you doing here, like a thief," Chen Qi wondered in his heart.

"Little Master, what you want... That thing, I'm looking for... Found it. Xiao Jia was very nervous, his voice trembled and stammered.

"Is that thing?really?!" Chen Qi was very surprised, "I can't be mistaken." ”

"No... No, the little one got it himself. Xiao Jia took out a small cloth bag from his arms, Chen Qi opened it and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was the medicinal herb he had always wanted: Zihe Che.

Ziheche, also known as the placenta, is a traditional Chinese medicine material, Chinese medicine believes that the placenta is sweet, salty and warm, enters the lungs, heart and kidney meridians, and has the function of nourishing the kidney and nourishing the essence, invigorating qi and nourishing blood.

Modern medical research believes that the placenta contains protein, sugar, calcium, vitamins, immune factors, female hormones, progesterone, steroid hormones, gonadotropins, adrenocorticotropic hormone, etc., which can promote the development of the breast, uterus, thyroid gland, tuberculosis, bronchial asthma, anemia, etc. It also has a certain effect on ascites in portal cirrhosis and schistosomiasis in advanced cirrhosis.

"Little master, what do you want this thing for?" Xiao Jia asked with a pale face, the world is very superstitious, and among the many horror stories that circulate, there are many episodes of demons and monsters using the purple river car to make alchemy, and in order to get the purple river car, they often live a deep caesarean section of the pregnant woman.

Little Master can't be the reincarnation of a demon, right? A terrifying thought came to Xiao Jia's mind, sending chills down his spine.

"Okay, don't be nervous, I'm not a man-eating monster," Chen Qi comforted, "Zihe Che has been used as a medicinal herb a long time ago, don't believe those rumors, it's just the misunderstanding of those foolish people and foolish women, and the horror stories made up in your own brain." ”

"Yes, yes," Chen Xiaojia nodded quickly, but obviously didn't believe it.

"Ahem," Chen Qi was a little speechless about Chen Xiaojia's superstition, but the ideological work still had to be done, and he was expected to continue to make the Zihe car in the future, "Where did you get this thing?"

"Yesterday, a child was born in a family in Zhuangzi below, and this thing was hung on a tree, and the villain stole it at night. ”

"That's right," Chen Qi persuaded, "After the baby is born, the placenta is useless, they throw it away as garbage, don't want it, we just use it, we don't have to take the child by caesarean section, and we don't hurt people, you don't have to be afraid of anything, tomorrow, take a few dollars of silver, and find an opportunity to secretly throw it into their house, as compensation." ”

"Yes, the kid understands," Chen Qi's persuasion worked, at least Chen Xiaojia's tension eased a lot, the little young master was right, we didn't do anything wrong, we don't have to be afraid of anything.

"Yes, you know about this, God knows it, you can't tell anyone else," Chen Qi said seriously, "Even my mother can't tell me, understand? ”

Even in the previous life, in the era of popularization of scientific knowledge, people had many misunderstandings about Ziheche, not to mention the current life of believing in ghosts and gods, and it was found that Chen used Ziheche as medicine, and the consequences were very serious.

"Yes, the kid knows the seriousness of the matter, don't worry, the young master will be tight-lipped," Chen Xiaojia assured again and again.

"Well, it's good to understand," Chen Qi nodded, still trusting him very much, "I will go to the account and take two taels of silver from the account in a while, which will be regarded as a reward for you." ”

"Thank you, young master!"

Back in his yard, Chen Qi branched out all the maids and wives, and did it himself, rinsing the Zihe car, then steaming it over low heat, and finally drying it and grinding it into powder, so that people couldn't see the source, so he was relieved.
