Zhen Shiniang laughed and said, "If you say that, people will think that you hired an ancestor to go back." She shook her head, "Forget it, my body is not designed to make money, as you can see,
Not long ago, because I was watching Ejiao making money, I wanted to stay up longer, so I fell asleep for two days and even lost the pot of gelatin."
After hearing this and looking at Zhen Shiniang's plain white face, Li Qi's wife sighed.
After seeing off Li Qi's wife, Magpie picked up the unfinished gown and lamented over and over again, "It's all my fault, but I'm pregnant at this time. If I'm fine, I will accompany the lady to the capital." She has been in Beijing since she was a child.
When she grows up, nothing will happen if she is by her side. "Listen to Sister-in-law Li, I can at least earn a reward of 18 taels, so you don't have to stop taking medicine this winter." Zhen Shiniang is a doctor herself, and she has good health.
But it got worse and worse, mainly because she had no money to take care of her. Especially in autumn and winter when she needed supplements the most, not only could she not take supplements, she had to stop taking the medicine.
"If I really want to go, I won't go no matter how hard I hold on." Zhen Shiniang reached out and picked up the half-read book, "I'm afraid the other party is an official."
Is it an official?
Magpie was startled for a moment, then her face changed slightly. She leaned forward and said, "Do you think it's someone from the General's Mansion who came to seek medical treatment?"
While reading, Zhen Shiniang asked casually, "Is there an old lady in the general's family?"
"Miss!" Magpie snatched the book from her hand.
Only then did Zhen Shiniang realize that she had asked a stupid question, so she sat up with a smile, "...Didn't I forget? Tell me, who are the people in their family?" Thinking of the costume TV series she had watched in her previous life.
, "...Is there an old lady?"
The amused magpie burst into laughter.
The family had a lively lunch, and Magpie continued to work on the girl's work. Qiu Ju took Jian Wu and Jianwen to use a clay pot to catch house birds in the backyard. Zhen Shiniang moved out to play Go and chatted with Magpie.
Li Qi's wife walked in in a hurry again.
"... No matter what I say, I will break my head, but Comprador Gu refuses to leave. He insists on inviting you no matter what. He also said that you don't have to worry. He will hire a four-wheeled carriage for you to sleep comfortably.
Go and lie down." Li Qi's wife took out a piece of silver and put it on the table, "This is the deposit. As long as you agree, he will cover the travel expenses back and forth. Regardless of whether you can get a good treatment or not, these ten taels of silver will be yours.
If it's okay, there will still be twenty taels of medical fees." Looking at Zhen Shiniang eagerly, "My aunt, I see that he sincerely wants to invite you, at any rate, you can go and take care of family matters.
Don’t worry, son, I will come here every day to help take care of you..."
Thirty taels!
It's really a red rain from the sky.
The magpie's eyes lit up brightly, then darkened again, and he asked Li Qi's wife, "...Sister-in-law Li didn't ask, who is his master?"
If it is Shen Zhongqing, he will not be able to go even if he is given a gold mountain.
"...My aunt, who are we and who is he? How can we ask this casually?"
Zhen Shiniang picked up the money on the table and handed it over, "Sister-in-law Li, go back. Even if you go, I may not have the ability to cure his master's illness. There is a clock in Liulin Town, thirty miles away from here.
Doctor, whose nickname is Yama Wangchou, please ask him to invite you to have a try." His gentle tone revealed unquestionable determination.
Li Qi's wife stood up sarcastically, "...how can you push away the money that was delivered to your door?"
Looking helplessly at Li Qi's wife taking away the deposit, Magpie jumped up and down in distress, raising her head to say something. When she saw Zhen Shiniang playing Go again as if nothing had happened, she sighed, lowered her head and continued to make up her mind.
clothing.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Comprador Gu didn't come again. Even the magpie had forgotten about it. He no longer felt bad about not earning the free money, and began to concentrate on preparing Laba porridge.
"...Ever since the government posted the notice, there has been an endless stream of people going to Ruixiang to buy medicine. I wonder how much money we can get?" Magpie brought a handful of dried kidney beans and sat on the ground with Zhen Shiniang to peel them.
"How can there be more than ten taels..." Zhen Shiniang threw the kidney bean skins into the basket on the ground, reached out and picked up another one and gently pinched it open with her fingertips, "Qiu Ju said that she sold another twenty taels yesterday.
Vice." The topic changed, "There is a collection in Laba. I want to take Qiu Ju and Brother Wen and Brother Wu to go around and buy some cloth. You all can make a new set of clothes. Start early this year so that you will not be too busy at the end of the year.
, anxious to get angry." As a modern person, who had always bought ready-made clothes in her previous life, Zhen Shiniang knew nothing about female celebrities, and Qiu Ju had no time to learn, so the sewing and mending at home became a magpie's business.
"Forget it." The magpie's movement of peeling beans stopped there, "I changed all the old clothes given by Sister-in-law Li, without a single patch, so I can make do with them for the New Year." He added, "
I didn’t do it last year and the year before that, so I came here just like that.”
Although the harvest is good this year, who knows what day Shen Zhongqing will kick them out of the ancestral home. There will be more places to use money in the future.
"The children are just looking forward to the New Year to have fun, and I have promised them."
"Miss……"
"When the child is older, when he is not in his arms, he will eat what you feed him and wear what he wears. I don't know whether it is good or bad..." Zhen Shiniang sighed earnestly, "I didn't give him any new clothes last year.
I regretted the clothes. Brother Wen and Brother Wu went out to pray for the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but refused to go out to play on the second day of the Lunar New Year. They must have felt uncomfortable seeing others wearing new clothes, and they were afraid that I would be sad and refused to say it.
Such a young child..." Zhen Shiniang's eyes got wet when she thought about how many more years she would be able to spend with them. "When they grow up, I will remember them when they grow up." If she could, she would be willing to share her feelings.
Do everything you can to make your children happy.
"Miss..." After calling out, Magpie felt a fish bone stuck in her throat. She lowered her head and peeled the kidney beans in her hand hard. After a long time, she said in a dull voice, "Then just do it for Brother Wen and Brother Wu. Me and
Qiu Ju doesn’t need it.”
"Girls love beauty more." Zhen Shiniang threw the beans in her hands into the basin, clapped her hands and stood up, "These are enough, you can peel the rest later."
"It's all right, please finish peeling it." Magpie lowered her head and squeezed the dried beans in her hand, as if she could squeeze away all the hardships in her life if she exerted enough strength.
Zhen Shiniang shook her head and sighed.
Just as he was talking, the high-pitched voice of Li Qi's wife came in, "...Open the door quickly, the briber is here."
As soon as she opened the door, a gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit her face. Zhen Shiniang shivered. She saw Li Qi's wife holding a tightly wrapped basin in her hand, and hurriedly reached out to take it, "It's a snowy day."
, you are not at home Maodong, what are you bringing here?"
"In this wind, you come in quickly, I will take care of you." Knowing that Zhen Shiniang is most afraid of the cold, Li Qi's wife dodged her and walked into the house carrying a basin, "These are barley and peanuts, here you go.
Laba porridge to make up for it, I guess you definitely don’t have these two things.”
Barley and peanuts are very expensive and most people cannot afford them.
