"What!" Li Kuo was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously: "Didn't my mother take Chen Langzhong's medicine the day before yesterday improve? Why are she coughing again?"
Captain Sun sighed and said, "My sister-in-law thinks that the medicines prescribed by Dr. Chen are too expensive, so she stopped after only three days. I advised her a few times, but she always said that you need more money when you grow up.
I'll save it for you."
Li Kuo heard the light red eyes and choked and said, "Why is my mother so stupid? I've grown up and can earn money to support her. Why did she do this in her body? Isn't this asking neighbors to point at her?
Did my backbone call me unfilial?"
Although Captain Sun thought Li Kuo was quick-thinking and had a good sense of strategy, he thought about it carefully and was still a child after all. Grandpa was framed to death by a traitor, and it was difficult for him to support the whole family at a young age.
After patting Li Kuo's arm, Captain Sun said in a harmonious voice: "It's really hard for you for the child, but don't press yourself too tightly. Listen to Uncle Sun's words, if you want to revive the Li family's lintel, you
You have to go to the imperial examination and enter the officialdom, otherwise you will have a chance like your uncle in your life. Here are two taels of silver. You can use it to get medicine for your mother, buy some paper and ink for the remaining money, and with your foundation, you only need to follow
Here comes the way to pass the imperial examination and the first place!”
Li Kuo, who was originally calm and steady, was panicked when he heard this and waved his hand: "No, no, Uncle Sun, how can I ask for your money? It's not easy for you, this is your monthly salary. Besides, I'll pay the month at the end of the month.
It’s money, I have money.” After saying that, he quickly blinked at Du Jingtian.
Du Jingtian seemed to have not understood Li Kuo's good intentions and pouted and complained: "If you want to say that Dad is really stingy, why is 500 ounces a month enough for a month? You treat Xiaoqi brother as a waiter again
He is also a servant, and he will take advantage of it!"
"I...no... the shopkeeper treats me well. I have given enough money. I..." Li Kuo couldn't explain clearly when he was anxious. Beads of sweat as big as beans flowed along the sideburns.
Got down.
Captain Sun waved his hand to signal Li Kuo to be calm and smiled and said, "Kuoer, your mother has great kindness to me. Now that your family is in a state of decline, if I don't help you, how can I be a human being in the future? Isn't a human being?
Beasts, you cannot be ungrateful! If you take this money first, you can just take it as I lend it to you, and you will return it to me when you have a chance."
Speaking of this, Li Kuo was not easy to refuse anymore, so he bowed to Captain Sun and said, "Uncle Sun, remember your affection, Kuoer will definitely live like a person and repay you.
The kindness of my mother.”
He patted Li Kuo on the back of the head, and Captain Sun smiled and said, "Silly kid, go quickly and talk more about your mother. Only when people are in a good mood will they be in a good mood."
"Well, thank you Uncle Sun." Li Kuo smiled heartily and hugged Captain Sun's head and clasped his fists. Turning to face Du Jingtian, Li Kuo said embarrassedly: "A Tian, my mother is in poor health. I have to go back to take care of her and can't accompany her.
You've been visiting the park, I'll make up for it someday."
Du Jingtian punched Li Kuo and said with a smile: "Go back quickly, when will I be unreasonable? But Brother Xiaoqi, you have to accompany me to visit Youyuan next time!"
"Oh, sure." After the little ancestor agreed, Li Kuo let out a long sigh and said loudly: "Uncle Sun, A Tian, I'll leave."
"Let's go, let's go." Captain Sun and Du Jingtian said in unison, and all the eyes of looking at the boy contained warmth.
After leaving Captain Sun and Du Jingtian, Li Kuo left Qujiangfang and ran straight to his house.
His home is in Andefang, close to Tongjifang, not far from Qujiangchi. He walked through Qixia Street, the twin-bring Hutong, and then walked along Juxian Street for half a stick of incense. Li Kuo came to his home.
The 23rd Lane of Linhu. It is said that it is Linhu. In fact, this street is separated by two entire markets from Qujiangfang. It is simply that the owner of the manor gave a elegant name to sell the house in the alley at a good price.
Li Kuo was not in the mood to think about this at this time. He was worried about his mother's condition and his steps accelerated a lot, so he almost ran into Uncle He who was selling yam soup in the alley.
After apologizing, the young man hurriedly walked towards his house.
When he came to the yard and looked at the faded couplet in front of the mottled wooden door, Li Kuo felt a little lonely. The world was cold and cold. If the grandfather was still alive, he would probably be crowded now.
He sighed secretly, and the young man gently pushed open the wooden door. The old wooden door made a creaking sound, making people feel particularly harsh.
The whole yard was surprisingly quiet, and Xiaoqi could even hear his well-proportioned breathing. He looked around cautiously and confirmed that there was no one. The boy quickly walked into the outer room and put out half of the silver that Uncle Sun had just borrowed.
Under the wood that I had been resting, I covered a few old clothes that I didn't wear before and then tiptoed towards the kitchen with the remaining silver.
After looking at Chen Mi who was in the rice jar, the young young man sighed. A few days ago, I asked Manager Xu to sell some millet for him at a low price, but if my mother's current condition is not enough to eat white rice, she may be better.
The prescription cannot be cured. If Manager Du can pay himself the monthly money for the next month, he can buy five dou of good rice first, and then grab three or two tonics according to Chen Langzhong's prescription. Maybe a few pairs of them
After the decoction is over, my mother's illness can be cured!
Just as she was thinking, her mother had stood behind her and looked at herself with a smile: "Xiao Qi is back, why didn't she go to the teahouse to work today?"
"Mom, see, I have brought back a tael of silver. I will go and get medicine for you later and buy you a few buckets of rice!" Li Kuo excitedly put the silver on the table, and went forward to support him and held him a little weak.
mother.
"Xiao Qi, how did you come from this money?" Li Lu looked at the broken silver on the table in confusion and asked in confusion.
"Mom, Manager Du praised me for my good work and increased my monthly money. After knowing that you were sick, I also... I also paid two months of wages for me to treat you." My hands were twisted behind my back.
Li Kuo whispered.
I know the best that I have been raising a child since I was a child. Li Lu was shocked and scared. Kuoer, a child, never lie, and he would never lie. His flashing eyes and blushing cheeks clearly told himself that what he said was not true.
.If this child goes astray and steals and robs for himself, then how can he be the one who died?
Forced himself to calm himself down, Li Lu forced a smile and said, "Kuo'er, tell me the truth, how did you come from this money?" This money should not be the monthly money of a teahouse. Li Lu's
I don’t believe that Manager Du would kindly propose to raise his son’s salary.
I was so angry that my grandmother saw her. Li Kuo murmured: "Mom, actually, this money was given by Uncle Sun, and he asked me to take it to treat you. However, I will pay it back, Kuoer will give it away.
After the monthly payment, he would pay it back to Uncle Sun." Fearing that his mother was angry, Li Kuo bit the words very heavily to show his determination.
Li Lu looked at her son's slightly dark eyes, and tears flowed out of her eyes.
Now Li Kuo was anxious and cried in his voice: "Or, if you don't, Kuo'er will return the money to Uncle Sun, Kuo'er will find a way. Mom, don't cry. Alas, all
It’s useless to make you suffer and suffer."
Li Lu could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and hugged Li Kuo in his arms and patted his not-wide shoulders. He was still a sixteen-year-old child, if it weren't for his grandfather's death
He should now live a wealthy life like the children of other aristocratic families in Chang'an City. Why should he work hard for life? His former colleagues and disciples not only did not provide help after learning that his husband was in trouble, but instead took the blame to the court.
The books I read were gone and the farm on the banks of the Wei River were forced to join my cousin. Although my cousin was worried about his face, he was forced to join me.
Rented a small courtyard in the south of the city to himself, but he was reluctant to provide food, clothing and expenses. Kuoer dropped out of school for the sake of his mother and mother's livelihood, and went to the shop of his childhood friend's house to help him barely maintain the two of them.
Work plan. Thinking about this, Li Lu felt more and more sorry for the child. If he was in better health, he could help wealthy families make some girls and exchange some money for money. Without any worries, the child could continue to stay in school to study.
In the future, if you pass the Jinshi, you will be able to clear your grandfather's grievances. But all this has gradually gone away...
"Kao'er, it's all bad for my mother. If I hadn't believed those liars, I wouldn't have spent all my last savings in my family. Now I can only rely on you half a big one
The child supports your mother, how can you be good to your grandfather?"
Li Kuo did not sobb and reached out to wipe away the two lines of tears from his cheeks for his mother, and said resolutely: "Mom, don't worry, A Kuo will definitely make a fortune. Kuo'er can study while helping with his work.
I met a eldest brother. His envoy was a county magistrate. He was a figure who won the Tanhua era. Next year, Kuoer would go to the spring exam and ask him for recommendation. I believe he will definitely get the first place. By then everything will be fine.
, You can see Kuoer parading in big red clothes and orders, and you can see relatives and friends in the yard congratulating you. Even when my cousin fell, he would not ask you for rent again!"
Hearing his son making fun of his cousin, Li Lu burst out laughing, gently tapped Li Kuo's forehead and said, "You are just thinking about being a ghost. Brother, he is not having a good life, two consecutive days
My daughter got married and almost half of her family was emptied. Your aunt is not a thrifty person, so we can take on more places where we can take care of it."
Li Kuo snorted lightly and turned his head: "I didn't know that Grandpa cried poor before he was framed by a traitor. Why did we get nervous and he's penniless?" Although he said that, he didn't want to follow him again
When my mother debated, she only secretly swears in her heart that she must rely on her own hands to support the mother in this family with her own hands!
The world is in a cool and cold way, and it is like this all the time in ancient and modern times. Well, please grow up with Xiaoqi and protect what you cherish.
