After Li Jinglan sat up, she smiled and said tenderly: "I'm fine now, you should go and accompany your classmates."

"Students are here to help us, so we must not neglect them."

What Li Jinglan said makes a lot of sense.

The classmates came to help him.

Lu Bozhou really shouldn't have stayed in the house with his wife all the time.

He stood up reluctantly: "Then I'm going out."

Seeing Ning Xin was about to move, Li Jinglan spoke first: "Let Sister Liu help you out."

After Lu Bozhou left, the room became quiet for a while.

Li Jinglan slowly got off the bed and asked Ningxin, "Can you comb your hair?"

Ningxin's mind was all on Lu Bozhou, and when Li Jinglan asked her a question, she didn't react immediately.

Lu Guanyu snorted: "Sister-in-law asked you if you can comb your hair."

Ning Xin then responded, "Yes."

Li Jinglan sat in front of the dressing table: "Comb your hair."

Ningxin walked over reluctantly and picked up the comb to comb her hair.

Li Jinglan observed Ningxin in the mirror.

In her previous life, she would go to the palace to attend banquets every year and had met Lady Ning several times.

Judging from the appearance.

It is indeed a beautiful lady.

In her previous life, she was a little curious about Lady Ning.

After all, it is indeed curious that a person with whip marks all over her face could enter the palace and become a beauty.

Lu Bozhou never explained the origins of Lady Ning.

In the official records, there were only four words: "maid in the old residence".

Why is Lu Bozhou so nice to Ningxin?

Li Jinglan decided to observe for a while.

Ningxin's hands were very deft and she had tied her hair into a bun in no time.

Li Jinglan picked up a golden hairpin and handed it to Ning Xin behind her: "This is it."

When Ningxin put on the golden hairpin and was about to leave, Li Jinglan asked her again.

"When did you return to Bozhou?" Li Jinglan asked.

Ning Xin replied, "I heard the day before yesterday that Da Lang went to stay at Teacher Wang's house, and he returned to Da Lang yesterday."

Li Jinglan looked at Ning Xin in the mirror and said, "Serve Bo Zhou well in the future."

Ningxin bent her knees and bowed, then turned around and hurried out.

Lu Guanyu pouted behind him: "Sister-in-law, you didn't even let her go out."

Li Jinglan didn't mention Ningxin again.

He walked to the cabinet where the silver was kept, opened the door, and took out five silver cakes.

"These silver cakes are all worth ten taels. Feel them." Li Jinglan asked Lu Guanyu to feel the weight of the silver.

After handing over the silver, Lu Guanyu blinked his eyes and said, "You are not going to give my brother money again, are you? Didn't you just give it to me?" He was very reluctant.

This is fifty taels of silver!

My brother will never be able to spend it all in his lifetime.

"You little miser! Twenty-two taels are enough for today's banquet, and then we'll use up most of it if we rent some cars to send the students home." Li Jinglan scratched Lu Guanyu's nose.

"How can a man not spend money when he's out there wearing fancy clothes and riding a horse and calling friends? Who would want to play with you if you don't spend money?"

He then opened the box next to him and asked Lu Guanyu to take out ten strings of copper coins.

"Your brother will be staying at Teacher Wang's house for the next two years, so we need to buy an ox cart or a horse carriage to make it convenient for him to travel. These fifty taels are for him to buy the carriage and hire a coachman." Li Jinglan said.

A draft horse cost more than thirty taels of silver.

A good horse can be sold for seventy or eighty taels of silver.

Not to mention the rare horses.

A horse can consume fodder worth one or two taels of silver per month.

Li Jinglan mentioned the Wang family again, "And your eldest brother and your second brother's daily food, housing and transportation. We can't just eat at other people's houses without spending a penny. They also have to make new clothes and buy some sachets and jade pendants."

What my sister-in-law said makes sense!

Lu Guanyu said "oh" and took the money out of the box calmly.

Thinking of Ningxin's face again, I chatted with my sister-in-law, "I don't know where she got the wound on her face."

Li Jinglan hummed.

There is no girl who doesn't care about her face.

There are whip marks on the face.

Proves that Ningxin had been abused.

Find an opportunity to ask Lu Bozhou under what circumstances Ning Xin met him.

Li Jinglan glanced outside and it was time for her to go out too.

Thinking of this, Li Jinglan pointed to the money on the table.

"You stay in the house and watch over the silver. Tomorrow we will go to Teacher Wang's house to thank him and then give the money to your brother."

Lu Guanyu got the job and stood up straight: "I will definitely keep a close eye on this money."

"Good boy!" Li Jinglan praised with a smile, then turned and left the house.

In the yard, Lu Bozhou was talking to some classmates and friends.

As soon as Li Jinglan went out, she attracted everyone's attention.

She was still getting married and was wearing a gold-woven wedding dress.

Tie your hair up again.

It makes her look even more radiant and precious.

Several scholars stared with their eyes wide open, then quickly lowered their heads after they came to their senses.

"Thanks to you gentlemen's timely arrival today, I was not humiliated."

Li Jinglan bent her knees, squatted down, and performed a proper bow.

Luo Luo generous.

"Thank you so much for your generosity!"

The scholars hurriedly returned the greeting: "We are classmates and friends with Brother Lu, it is unethical to say such things."

"That's right! It's what we should do. It's embarrassing for us to have my sister-in-law come to thank us."

Li Jinglan smiled and said, "Bozhou just told me in the room that he couldn't express his gratitude to you all in words."

"I am a person of limited knowledge. I have been thinking about it for a long time but I still can't figure out how to thank you. So I thought, why not set up a few tables in the best restaurant in the county."

"In the future, I will go to your homes and present small gifts to you."

After Li Jinglan finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yongqing and said, "Brother Yongqing, please help me book a restaurant and remember the name."

It's both a treat and a gift.

All the scholars thought that Li Jinglan was very capable.

They all praised: "Brother Lu is so lucky that his sister-in-law is so virtuous and wise."

Ning Xin curled her lips.

Where is virtue?

If Lu Bozhou hadn't arrived in time, Lu Xuande would have rushed into the main room and dragged you out.

Look how scared you were! You fainted as soon as you left the house.

In the end, after the matter was done and he came out to pay his respects, he was given a reputation as a virtuous and wise man?

Although today is the first time Ningxin meets Li Jinglan.

But for some reason, she was very resistant to Li Jinglan.

Li Jinglan looked at Lu Bozhou again and said, "It's getting late. My husband, why don't you go back to the county with the other students and have some wine at the restaurant to relieve your fatigue."

Lu Bozhou turned towards Li Jinglan, and asked reluctantly, "Can you do it alone?"

"Sure." Li Jinglan smiled slightly, "I'll go to my uncle's house to pay a visit tomorrow."

this moment.

Lu Bozhou had a very subtle feeling.

He understood what Li Jinglan meant.

Li Jinglan wanted him to use the opportunity of treating his classmates to dinner and drinks to improve his reputation and favorability.

Whatever.

We're meeting tomorrow anyway, so it's not too late to ask if you have anything to say.

Lu Bozhou nodded at Li Jinglan: "Then let's go."

"Okay." Li Jinglan bowed to the scholars again, "Thank you all again."

The scholars returned the greetings one by one and walked out of the courtyard chatting and laughing.

Lu Bozhou was at the back.

He glanced back.

There were people everywhere in front of me, but I couldn't see Li Jinglan clearly.

Lu Bozhou couldn't help but sigh softly.

Ning Xin held his hand firmly: "Da Lang, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Lu Bozhou said nothing and turned back to look at the place where Li Jinglan made the sound.

Only a vague red shadow could be seen.

He suddenly said, "I will listen to Doctor Hu and take the medicine on time."

Li Jinglan smiled and said, "I hope my husband will be well soon."

Not a moment.

All the scholars went out.

The smile on Li Jinglan's face faded, and she turned to look at Aunt Liu: "Where is Brother Ping An?"

"In the front yard! He's injured." replied Nanny Liu.

"Injured? Not bad!" Li Jinglan nodded. "After I finish dealing with the affairs in the hospital, please invite them in."

I used the word please.

Aunt Liu waved her hand.

The yamen runners and archers came in from outside the courtyard.

"Greetings, Madam." The bailiffs saluted at the same time.

The archer had a crossbow in his hand and just bent towards Li Jinglan.

"Thank you all! We are safe today." Li Jinglan bowed deeply.

An older yamen runner stepped forward and asked, "How should we deal with these scoundrels in the courtyard?"

Li Jinglan glanced at Wan Er, who was lying on the ground, breathing out more than breathing in, and said in a cold voice:

"These thieves jumped over the wall to steal and kill people, and they resisted arrest and almost hurt the yamen officers."

"According to the law, we should deal with it as it should be dealt with."

The older bailiff pointed at the sharp-faced man on the ground and said, "This guy has committed several thefts. Let's settle all the cases today."

I heard that they would not only be beaten but also be arrested and taken to the government office.

All the strong men who were wailing on the ground were frightened.

"Please let me go. I have an eighty-year-old mother and three children..."

A bailiff stepped forward and kicked him: "Shut up!"

Your mother is eighty years old and your son is three years old.

How old was your mother when she gave birth to you?

I saw the yamen runners tying up the strong man on the ground like a piglet.

Li Jinglan then slowly walked to the house where Lu Xuande was imprisoned.

Smiling sweetly.

"Uncle Xiaozong, your niece-in-law greets you."
