The benefits of having a few more servants in the family are obvious.
Early in the morning, when Li Su and the others got up, the hot water had already been boiled, and after washing up, breakfast was ready. Although Mrs. Zuo Kui couldn't hear, she was really good at cooking. What she ate last night was the leftovers from lunch, so she didn't have much room to play.
This morning, she cooked a pot of thick rice porridge, steamed steamed buns with three delicacies, and baked fragrant chive cakes.
After breakfast, the Li family recognized her craftsmanship.
Li Su is especially satisfied, as she is now, she has no other higher pursuit except for the pursuit of appetite. "Your craftsmanship is good. Keep working hard for lunch!"
Although Mrs. Zuo Kui couldn't hear the sound, after Zuo Kui gestured with her, she realized that Li Su was praising her, and she was very happy.
She hurriedly finished her breakfast, and took out the dirty clothes that Li's family had changed. Zuo Kui was chopping firewood while carrying water for her. Yan'er was clumsily trying to help, but Li Su called her over, fearing that she would fall into the well go.
"Yan'er, come here and play with Ru'er."
Zuo Kui and his mother-in-law motioned for their daughter to go quickly.
Over there, Li Yuan was teaching Li Ru to read in the sand table. Yan'er looked at it and hurried over. Because of long-term malnutrition, Yan'er is about the same age as Li Ru, but a head shorter than Li Ru, "Master, miss, can I follow suit?"
"It's okay, let's learn, my sister is just starting to learn." Li Yuanman said indifferently.
Yan'er was overjoyed, Li Ru was also very happy to have a new friend, held Yan'er's hand, and the three children chatted together.
Li Su sat on the porch basking in the sun, and Liu Yingniang was sewing in front of the window. The atmosphere is wonderful.
But then, with the banging of the door, the silence of the courtyard was broken. Zuo Kui glanced at Li Su, put down the ax in his hand, and limped to open the door.
The children were also frightened by the slamming of the door, and ran behind Li Su.
The door opened, and several people came in carrying a stretcher.
"This is Mr. Li Yu's home, right? Our son asked me to escort Mr. Li Yu back. Now that he has been delivered, I will leave." A man who looked like a servant cupped his hands casually, turned around and wanted to run, but was caught Zuo Kui grabbed it.
"Wait a minute, tell me clearly, what's wrong with my son?" Li Su strode over.
"Cough! Mr. Li Yu didn't know who he offended. He was beaten up with his head covered, hurting his internal organs, and missed the township examination. My son and Mr. Li Yu lived in the same inn, and he was kind. I can't bear to see Mr. Li Mr. Yu is just like that... So, let me escort Mr. Li Yu back. My son is still waiting for me. I have to go back quickly." Seeing that he couldn't leave, the man had to explain the reason vaguely .
Then, while everyone was unprepared, he ran away. Seeing this, those who carried the man let him go and ran away.
Liu Yingniang had already rushed out at this time, crying when she saw Li Yu like this.
Li Su rolled his eyes, "Why are you crying? Why don't you help me out and carry him into the house first."
At this time, the neighbor Ling Er heard the movement and rushed over to help, and together with Zuo Kui carried Li Yu to the Kang in the west wing. Li Su turned around and took a piece of silver, and said to Ling Er, "Erlang, I don't bother the second master, but I have to trouble you to help invite a doctor. Hurry up!"
Ling Er nodded, took the silver and trotted out.
"Don't cry! Open the window to let the air in. Hurry up, boil hot water, and change this clothes for A Yu." Li Su saw that the clothes on Li Yu probably hadn't been changed for more than ten days, and they were dirty and blood-stained. The original color is gone.
Zuo Kui and his wife quickly got to work.
Liu Yingniang wiped her tears, turned around and went to look for clothes.
Li Su stood in front of the window and ordered: "Yuan'er, stay inside with your sister and Yan'er, don't run around, do you hear me?"
Li Yuan nodded, held his sister's hand tightly, and ran to the west wing, standing at the door, not daring to come in. Li Ru had tears in his eyes, what happened to Dad? Li Yuan hugged his younger sister in his arms, comforting her silently.
When Ling Er came with the doctor, Li Yu had already changed out of his dirty clothes and looked refreshed.
After taking the pulse, the doctor opened Li Yu's eyes again, and said a lot of words that no one could understand.
Li Su rolled his eyes, "Doctor, is it important for my son?"
"Your son is attacking the heart with qi and blood, and it has hurt the lungs, so it needs to be recuperated." The doctor stroked his beard and said.
"The doctor can prescribe medicine, and just say what you need," Li Su said.
The doctor wrote a prescription, and Li Su took it. The doctor's handwriting was so colorful that she couldn't understand it.
"Take the medicine according to the prescription, three times a day, and take it for a month. I will come back in a month and take his pulse. If the situation improves at that time, I will change the medicine." The doctor said.
Li Su looked at Ling Er, "Erlang, I have to trouble you to make a trip to get the medicine for me. Is the money enough? I'll get it if I don't have enough."
The doctor said, "This recipe needs ginseng, and the price of ginseng can..."
Li Su turned around and went to his room. When he came out, he took a bank note with a face value of two hundred taels, "If the doctor's pharmacy has good ginseng, I will buy it. It doesn't hurt to have a lot of money."
Liu Yingniang had been crying since just now, and now she was wiping away her tears and nodded repeatedly. Li Su saw her face turn pale suddenly, and his heart moved, "Doctor, can you show my daughter-in-law as well."
The doctor received the bank note, he was happy, nodded, sat down and took Liu Yingniang's pulse, only to find out that Liu Yingniang was three months pregnant.
Li Su turned pale with shock, Nima, so Liu Yingniang was sold while pregnant? The original owner really committed a crime!
The doctor also said that Liu Yingniang was a little deficient in energy and blood and needed to be recuperated. Without further ado, Li Su took out another ingot of silver and asked the doctor to prescribe the supplements.
When Liu Yingniang found out that she was pregnant, she was both surprised and happy. After she gave birth to the twins, she hadn't conceived for several years. She felt sorry for her husband, but now she finally became pregnant, and her husband became like this again.
After seeing off the doctor, Liu Yingniang's eyes were red, "Mother has spent a lot of money."
"Stop talking about those useless things, the most important thing is to keep healthy." Li Su waved his hand.
When Li Yu woke up, it was already dark, and an oil lamp was lit on the table. When he found that he was already at home, he was relieved. Afterwards, I felt that although my body was still a little sore, it was clean and refreshing. But then he remembered that he had missed the provincial examination because of his quick talk, and his years of hard work had been in vain. Suddenly, his heart was racing and his breathing was a little short.
"Yu Lang, are you awake? Mother, Yu Lang is awake!" Liu Yingniang opened the curtain and came in, and found that Li Yu had woken up, she was very happy.
"Ayu woke up, just in time, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot." Li Su came in with a medicine bowl.
Li Yu finally calmed down when he looked at his mother and wife, but he was still a little ashamed. Li Su helped him to sit up, and made him drink the medicine with a medicine bowl, and Liu Yingniang brought him another glass of water, and asked him to rinse his mouth.
Just as Li Yu was about to speak, Li Su said, "Okay, didn't you just miss the provincial exam? What's the big deal? Take care of yourself and go to the next subject."
"Mother!" Seeing his mother being so reasonable, Li Yu felt even more ashamed and regretful. The family was originally well off, but in order to support him to study, and his father's illness, he was already destitute. He was full of ambition and prepared for a long time, thinking that he would pass the provincial examination and become a Juren. who knows······
"Okay, what happened, no matter how sad you are, you can't go back. You need to take care of yourself now. I forgot to tell you that Yingniang is pregnant." Li Su said.
Li Yu looked at Liu Yingniang in surprise, "Is it true? Yingniang, are you really pregnant?" But then Li Yu thought that the family was already heavily in debt, and he was sick again. To add a population, this...
Li Su could see what he was thinking, and shook his head helplessly, "Yingniang, go and see if Yuaner and Ruerhe are asleep? I have something to say to Ayu."
Liu Yingniang nodded, and took out the empty bowl.
"Mother knows what you're worried about. Don't worry, the family's debts have been paid off, and the family has enough money for you to continue your studies and support your children," Li Su said.
Li Yu couldn't believe it. Mother never kept it from him. He knew the family situation best. Where did the money come from
Li Su sighed, "Your grandfather saved a merchant from the Western Regions in the early years, and the other party gave him a treasure in return for his kindness. Your grandfather regarded it as a family heirloom. It's a pity that your two uncles died young, and your grandfather only has one child for his mother. Before your grandfather died, you gave that treasure to your mother. As the saying goes, don’t reveal your wealth. If you think of your mother as a last resort, you can’t touch this treasure. If you become an official in the future, it’s good to take away favors. But that will My son, there is really no way. I had to pawn that treasure. Things are dead, but people are alive. Nothing is more important than no one."
Li Yu seemed to be listening to the scriptures, "Mom, what baby?"
"A crystal clear glass cup." Li Su said lightly.
Li Yu stared wide-eyed, "Mom! Then how much money have you pawned? Live or die!" Such a cherished thing must be worth a lot of money, so much money, the old and the young at home, this... ·····
Li Su glared at him, "What do you care about this? Keeping healthy and studying well is the most important thing! Don't worry, the shopkeeper has sworn that he will not tell anyone what I am and how much I am worth. Outsiders I don’t know. I hid those banknotes well. In the past few days, several groups of thieves came and went to my house, but I didn’t find a penny! Besides, the neighbors are all warm-hearted, so they wouldn’t look at our house for trouble. "
Only then did Li Yu feel relieved. His mother was really good at hiding things. After so many years, he didn't even know that there were family treasures like glass cups at home. "Mother! The son is useless, and the mother has pawned the family heirloom!"
"It's good to know! Work hard, strive to go to high school as soon as possible, confine your wife and son, and your mother will also get an imperial order!" Li Su said bluntly.
Li Yu's breath was stuck in his throat, he couldn't get up and down, and almost died. It was so hard to swallow, mother, mother, can't you be a little more polite when you speak? I am your own son!
