"This...doesn't it need to be prescribed some more medicine?" Grandma asked.
"No, do you have red dates and wolfberries at home?"
"Uh...no."
"Let him lie down and rest for a while before leaving. You go buy some red dates and wolfberries first and come back. Soak three red dates and five wolfberries in water every morning and evening and drink them for a month."
"Hey, okay, I'll go buy it right now." Auntie said and walked out.
"I'll go with you!" Fatty Wang also chased after him.
I jumped up from the bed and shook my sore hands: "How did I offend you? Give me so many needles!"
"Can you blame me? Who asked you to show off and carry two loads per person? Do you usually have numb hands and sore arms?"
"So what?"
"Tendon strain. Although it's not a serious illness, if you don't pay attention to maintenance, you may have problems combing your hair and dressing up when you get older. By then, more than just these few injections will be able to fix it." Li Huichun said slowly.
.
I turned my arms again, feeling happy: "Are you treating my hand? It seems much more comfortable. But who asked you to treat me? I tricked my mother and you took my pulse.
, what disease does she have?”
Li Huichun smiled slightly: "She is in good health and not sick!"
"She's not sick? How could she be? Didn't you see that she was feeling nauseous just now?" Wang Jiajia questioned.
"She was overjoyed. Can being overjoyed be considered a disease? She just occasionally experiences nausea, and it's not like some people can't stop vomiting. Is it necessary to treat her?" Li Huichun asked.
Wang Jiajia and I looked at each other: "What are you so happy about? What are you so happy about?"
Li Huichun looked contemptuous: "You don't understand this? It means: she is pregnant!"
"What? My mother...she...how is that possible!" I looked at Wang Jiajia in shock.
Wang Jiajia was also dumbfounded and closed her mouth after a while: "How long...how long?"
"It's been about a month or so."
More than a month?
I tried to calm myself down. I remembered that on the 13th of last month, which was the second day of Mrs. Mu’s wedding, after our secret agents gathered together, we delivered tofu to the county government and went home. When we saw Fatty Wang at my house with a strange expression, he also
He locked the door and said he was here to try on the new clothes made by my mother. He also said he was warming himself by the fire, but the charcoal in the brazier was almost extinguished.
It should be that time, they...
As I thought about it, I felt my face get hot. Although I thought about letting A Niang and Fatty Wang get along, but... they suddenly brought up a child so quietly... This... is really disappointing...
"Brother Jianghu? I...we have another younger brother and sister?" Wang Jiajia's eyes were dull, as if she was talking in her sleep.
I sighed: "Yes. It was quite sudden."
"Then what should we do?" Wang Jiajia carefully pulled up my sleeve, as if I would run away.
I smiled and scratched her nose: "Will it affect us?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just that the seniority titles will be a bit confusing in the future." Li Huichun added with a smile, took a medical book and read it.
"Hey, are you laughing at me now that you feel comfortable?" I glared at him: "Think about it for me, I suddenly feel a little embarrassed to face them, what should I do?"
Li Huichun flipped through the book and replied without raising his head: "What does it have to do with me?"
"you……"
Before I could think of scolding him, Aniang and Fatty Wang had already come back. When they saw me getting down on the bed, they praised Li Huichun's medical skills again.
Along the way, everyone was silent. My mother-in-law looked at me several times and swallowed the words she spoke.
"Auntie, starting from tomorrow, I want to rest for a while and wait until the new year has passed before I go out to work." I said when I almost reached the gate of the courtyard.
"Okay, it's the end of the year and I need to take a break."
"Then I'll do all the work at home from now on." I said, looking at my mother-in-law, and I happened to be eye-to-eye with her.
"You all know?" Grandma asked, covering her mouth again.
"Mom, take a plum." Wang Jiajia took out the preserved fruit.
"Haha, what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you." Fatty Wang glanced at me and asked in a low voice with a red face.
Aniang kicked her over and said, "Get out! I'm annoyed just by looking at you."
"You...do you blame me? At that time you..." Fatty Wang wanted to argue, but seeing Wang Jiajia and I around him, he was embarrassed to say more.
…
I cleaned the household items for making tofu and went to the kitchen. I was a little confused for a while. My mother was pregnant and she should take some good supplements, but I could only cook noodles, porridge, or two more eggs...
"Just make something, I don't have any appetite anyway. It's all my fault...Mom has embarrassed you..." Auntie said, opening the rice vat and scooping out a big spoonful of rice.
"Auntie, you go and have a rest, I'll do it." I sighed and said with a smile: "What's so embarrassing about this? Later you and Fatty Wang... um... go and salute Master, and we'll be considered husband and wife.
In the enlightened Tang Dynasty, it is not a shame for a woman to remarry after losing her husband. Look at Mrs. Mu, isn’t she also a widow? She even went to the whole city to seek marriage with great fanfare, isn’t she still living happily now?”
"Mrs. Mu, I often hear you mention her. Are you still unable to let go of her?"
"No way." I took the basin from my mother's hand: "I just feel that she is not an ordinary woman, so I just want to know more about her. She is like a dream, very beautiful, but untouchable.
.I now know very clearly that Jiajia is the one who can accompany me throughout my life. I will work hard to make money and then marry her."
Grandma smiled happily: "You used to be disgusted with talking to me about these things, but now you are willing to talk to me. It's good."
I smiled and looked at my mother-in-law: "You are my mother. If I don't talk to you about my personal affairs, who else can I talk to?"
"Your health is the most important thing. Don't be too tired. The wedding ceremony can be big or small. The key depends on the relationship between the two people. If you have money, you can make the whole city a sensation like Mrs. Mu and the others with a wedding. If you don't have money, yes
A few kowtows in front of the high hall can be regarded as a sign of etiquette."
"Well, I know, but getting married is a lifelong event. No matter what, you have to have a formal dress and a sedan chair, invite a theatrical troupe to liven it up, and set up a few tables for relatives and friends." I said, counting the things in the box.
With all the money he had left, and then thinking about the debt owed to Mrs. Mu for building a house, I felt that my future was at a loss.
"Mom! I stewed a chicken." Wang Jiajia shouted, and when people entered the room, the aroma wafted over.
Fatty Wang also came over with a pot of white rice. Seeing that my mother-in-law didn't chase him anymore, I quickly took the bowl and set my chopsticks... Suddenly I had the illusion that we had been a family for a long time.
…
Yang Mosheng came back very late today and seemed to be in a bad mood. The Tibetan soldiers were all wiped out while they were still exploring the road. This was really a bad start.
How credible is the news I sent back? Is there really a spy sent by Mu You in Tubo? Otherwise, how could they get the news so quickly and suddenly rush out a group of militiamen to kill them by surprise? Yongqing County and Bao
Why did Kang County gather five thousand soldiers and horses in a short period of time?
There must be someone inside Tubo arranged by Mu You. If they are not cleared out, there will be endless troubles!
I watched Yang Mosheng frowning for a while, wandering for a while, and then feeling sober and clearing away the clouds, boldly trying to figure out what he was thinking. Finally, I understood Xiao Mu's intention of spreading rumors that there were spies inside Tubo.
"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Oh, Brother Li hasn't slept yet." Yang Mosheng smiled. This smile was too far-fetched, which further confirmed my guess.
"Brother Yang, have you heard? Today, Yongqing County wiped out twenty Tibetan traitors. People in the Xiangzhou City County Government reported and captured a Tibetan traitor!"
Yang Mosheng's smile was uglier than crying: "I heard that, I'm really happy and congratulated."
"Oh, have you received any reply to the poem manuscript you sent me?"
"Yes, the imperial envoy sent a message, saying that he would summon me at some time."
"Congratulations first!"
"Thank you."
"Is there any more Douhua?" A familiar voice sounded in the room, and both Yang Mosheng and I were startled.
"You...when did you come in?" I pointed blankly at Xiao Mu sitting on Yang Mosheng's bed, really shocked.
Yang Mosheng was also shocked: "You are... we seem to have met before."
I calmed down and said, "Xiao Mu, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "I'm here to eat some bean curds! I'll also check if my husband is okay."
I looked at Yang Mosheng beside me, wondering what Xiao Mu's intention was.
"It turns out to be Brother Mu. I remembered that last time Mrs. Mu asked for marriage, we met at the gate of Jianghu Inn." Yang Mosheng said hello with a fake smile on his face.
Xiao Mu smiled coldly: "Don't you want to see the imperial envoy? I am. What, do you want to kill me or do you want to lurk around me to find out the news?"
"Are you the imperial envoy?" Yang Mo pretended to be surprised: "My Excellency, Yang Mosheng, pays homage to the imperial envoy. I wonder what the envoy just said?"
Xiao Mu took something out of his brocade bag and stuffed it into his mouth: "I'm not interested in your name. It's all a pseudonym anyway. I just want to know your next plan."
I looked at Xiao Mu in surprise. What kind of song was he doing? Didn't he say that he was going to use Yang Mosheng to convey the message? Why did he suddenly come out to reveal his identity?
"I don't understand what you are saying. Yang is just the cashier at Qianbeiwuwu Restaurant. He is eager to have a chance to show his talent and hopes to make you successful."
"Okay, I'll help you." Xiao Mu said, raising his hand, a dagger was placed on Yang Mosheng's neck.
I was so frightened that I blurted out: "Xiao Mu, what are you doing?"
I'm really confused. What does Xiao Mu want to do? If he really gets rid of Yang Mosheng here in a moment of excitement, then how can I live in this house in the future?
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, spare your life... I don't know what Yang has done wrong, but I hope you will make it clear to me." Yang Mosheng timidly looked at the knife on his shoulder and begged.
"You still don't want to reveal your true identity?" Xiao Mu asked again.
"My lord, please forgive me. Yang is stupid. I really don't know what your lord wants me to say."
Xiao Mu's knife circled around Yang Mosheng's shoulder and finally dropped it: "I am saving you! You have delivered a lot of false information to your Tibetan masters. Do you think they will still trust you? You also know that there are many of them.
Secret, do you think they will let you go? If I were your master, I would only get rid of useless things like you quickly to avoid wasting food and affecting my mood."
"You have really wronged Yang. Yang has always been honest, how could he be a meticulous worker? Even if you lend me a hundred courages, I wouldn't dare!" Yang Mosheng still argued.
