Scholar and old attack

Mu Junxi felt that when he came back to Jiang's house after returning home, he felt that the atmosphere of the whole Jiang's house was different from before.

In the past, Jiang Jingyuan always held his hands, and didn't like talking and laughing with others. Although Chen Xiuxiu was very generous, there was always a little sadness on his brows. embroider things.

But what did he see today, a family sitting happily chatting together?

This is the first time I've seen you.

"Junxi is here, mother-in-law is fine." Chen Xiuxiu looked at Mu Junxi who was stepping in with a smile on her face, her whole body was full of lightness.

Even He Yuzhu put down the needle money in his hand for the first time, and smiled gently at him.

Jiang Jingyuan got up and moved a stool for him.

Has the world changed, or have I changed?

At this moment, Mu Junxi had serious doubts about life.

Xu Shuizhou frowned and smiled sweetly, "Auntie, do you want to try the new plum preserves from the store in the east of the city? It's sweet and sour, delicious."

Mu Junxi raised his hand to pick a few from the plate, and after slowly pondering over them, he said calmly, "Grandma's health is fine, but it's cold, and there are some old problems on her body, please ask the doctor to take a look." , After a few patches of medicine, it will be much better."

"It's fine. There is a doctor in my natal village who has a good skill in treating rheumatism. I'll go back and ask him tomorrow. I'll ask him for two ointments and bring them to my mother-in-law to try."

Chen Xiuxiu brushed back the strands of hair that had fallen from her head, and suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her grandma also suffered from leg joint pain. Later, a young doctor came from the village and applied two ointments made of unknown materials. hurt

It's just that this doctor only treats this kind of disease, and I can't think of such a person for a while.

Mu Junxi was interested after hearing this. As the saying goes, rheumatism is not a disease, but it hurts like hell. "That's a good relationship, I'll miss you, sister-in-law."

"It's because the whole family doesn't talk about these things. By the way, Xiaoquan has been away for half a month. It's almost Chinese New Year and I don't know if I will come back for Chinese New Year." Chen Xiuxiu counted the days and felt a little melancholy.

Jiang Jingyuan put down the pen he was writing, and said with a smile, "According to the time is coming soon, don't worry, there will be a festival in the palace, maybe it will only be two days."

The speed of letters in this era is really not flattering. If you don't go to the post station, often people come back, and the letters may not be delivered yet.

But post stations are all run by officials, usually only responsible for delivering officials' notes and border emergencies, it is absolutely impossible to deliver letters for ordinary people.

People who go to other places usually meet with fellow countrymen or acquaintances to help bring the letter back. If the person who brings the letter is delayed by other things on the way, it is even more uncertain when the letter will be delivered.

People with a little spare money send letters through the Escort, but it is impossible for the Escort to take the route of your house on the same day, it depends more on luck.

Mu Junxi also expressed emotion, "It would be great if the letter could be as fast as the post station. When he left, he told me to write the letter back. It's been half a month, let alone a letter."

It made his heart always fluctuate, and he always thought wildly when there was no one around, wondering if something happened to him on the road, and wondering if the officials he met were particularly troublesome.

Thinking about it, I felt that I shouldn't be pregnant at this time. If he was with me, that idiot Ren Quan wouldn't have to be bullied foolishly outside. He could only be bullied by him.

Jiang Jingyuan laughed, "Maybe in two years the letter will be delivered on time in five days no matter how far away it is."

Mu Junxi waved his hand, with a look of disbelief on his face, "It's unlikely, whoever has such great ability, the things that the court can't do, even in some remote frontiers, unless it's eight hundred miles away, you have to It will take ten and a half months to arrive."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled and did not speak, and continued to write with his head down. Only the impossible can become real.

Mu Junxi walked for two days, and Xu Shuizhou missed him the most. Who told him to be greedy, he would pull Mu Junxi's sleeve, and said pitifully, "Auntie, do you have any new ideas, I'm greedy again .”

Mu Junxi thought for a while and asked, "What ingredients are there at home?"

Xu Shuizhou narrowed his eyes with a smile. Hearing what my aunt said, he had a good day today, "Yesterday, the third grandma's house behind the house killed a pig and sent some pig livers. She said it's good to eat during pregnancy, and you won't get dizzy after eating it." .”

"What's so important about this?" Mu Junxi is also pregnant for the first time, and it feels a bit novel, otherwise there are people around him reminding him all the time, he might forget about being pregnant.

"I don't know. The elders all said that it's good to eat this. They said that there was a woman who was pregnant all the time, and she was always groggy. Later, the family killed a pig and ate the pig liver. No more fainting."

"Cough cough." Jiang Jingyuan please cough twice, trying to join the topic, and said slowly under Mu Junxi's weird gaze, "The reason for eating pig liver is that pregnancy needs to increase the blood volume in the body, and eating pig liver can supplement it."

Jiang Jingyuan tried his best to speak in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Pregnancy is prone to anemia, and some people are born with anemia. If the blood volume is insufficient, it is easy to get dizzy.

"Then it's better to eat pig's blood, what you eat will make you better." Mu Junxi rolled his eyes.

"Yes." Jiang Jingyuan smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled.

Xu Shuizhou immediately stood up, cracked his mouth with a smile, "I'll go to the third grandma's house to see if there is any pig blood. I just killed the pig yesterday. I'm sure I didn't eat it. I'll buy it for her with copper coins."

As soon as Xu Shuizhou was talking, he rushed out of the door, Jiang Jingyuan got up and followed, fearing that he might fall if he walked too fast.

Chen Xiuxiu hurriedly shouted, "Go slowly, if it's gone, I'll ask someone to go to the town to buy it. Jing Yuan, please protect your husband, don't fall."

"Stupid child." He Yuzhu smiled lowly, and continued to sew. Not long after, she gritted the thread with her silver teeth, and handed the finished clothes to Mu Junxi, "Look, isn't it pretty?"

Mu Junxi shook off the clothes and looked at them. The silver-white silk clothes were rusted with white plum blossoms, which looked beautiful without being tacky.

"Ah, it's really good. Sister Zhu's craftsmanship is really amazing. If you sell this, you will definitely be robbed by outsiders." Mu Junxi couldn't put it down. After looking at it for a long time, she reluctantly returned the clothes to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu didn't pick it up, "It was made for you. You and Zhouzhou in our family each have one piece. The house is a bit hot after burning the ground dragon at night. Wearing silk is breathable."

Mu Junxi's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe that this was the clothes He Yuzhu made for herself. After a long time, she murmured, "Thank you, Sister Zhu, I just feel lighter today, let me cook for you today." Reward everyone."

Chen Xiuxiu murmured, "Let's do it, and you will watch from the sidelines. It's cold in winter, so don't touch the cold water with your hands."

Mu Junxi immediately looked at Chen Xiuxiu pitifully. His hands were really itchy. After cooking for more than ten years, he suddenly became idle. He was really uncomfortable.

"It's useless to look at me. Your mother-in-law doesn't want you to work. It doesn't make sense to come to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law makes you cook every day." Chen Xiuxiu rolled his eyes at him and said nothing.

Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou went to the third grandma's place to buy some pig blood, and picked some pig bones and pork belly.

Jiang Jingyuan took a look, and saw that there were still two pig's trotters hanging on the beam, and hurriedly asked, "Third Grandma, do you sell these pig's trotters?"

The third grandma has silver hair and is a kind old lady. Seeing Jiang Jingyuan staring straight at the pig's trotters, she smiled and said, "Sell it, why don't you sell it? All the prices given are from the town, from the folks in the village, that’s what it means.”

"That's so embarrassing, it's as much as it should be." Jiang Jingyuan took out the pig's trotters himself, weighed two pig's trotters and weighed more than three catties, plus other miscellaneous things, Jiang Jingyuan paid according to the price of meat in the town. Jin gave it, and gave a total of more than 100 Wen, and the third grandma was so happy that she couldn't hold her tongue from ear to ear.

"It's too much, pig's trotters are worthless, and pig's blood is also worthless." The third grandma smiled and wanted to return the extra money Jiang Jingyuan gave.

Jiang Jingyuan pulled Xu Shuizhou back and walked back quickly, laughing as he walked, "Third Grandma, the money was not wrong, let's raise some pigs next year, my winery needs them."

"This child, give more every time." The third grandma held the money in her hand, and felt that Jiang Jingyuan was not as scary as those people in the village said. He was obviously a gentle child.

The son of the third grandma heard Jiang Jingyuan's words clearly in the room, and said, "Mother, will you still raise pigs next year?"

The third grandma lowered her head and thought about it, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Raise, raise two more, we still have to see some meaty things on the dinner table during the Chinese New Year, and it's not too troublesome to let the children in the family go out to hunt pigweeds when they have time. It's the beginning of spring." You go to the river to catch some fish fry and throw them in the rice fields to raise them."

"Okay." Third Grandma's son replied cheerfully.

On the way out of the house with Xu Shuizhou, Jiang Jingyuan saw a few perfectly grown Xuemicai, thinking that they could be used to stir-fry pig's blood, so he went up to clean them up.

Xu Shuizhou watched Jiang Jingyuan go to pick the blood grass, and asked in puzzlement, "Ah Yuan, what are you doing picking these blood grass? I heard from the old man in the village that this grass grows from sucking human blood, which is unlucky."

Jiang Jingyuan was amused by Xu Shuizhou, and raised the vegetable leaf in his hand, "This is a good thing, it didn't grow up sucking human blood. Don't listen to the nonsense of the old people in the village, just treat it as an ordinary wild vegetable."

"Wild vegetables are edible." Xu Shuizhou muttered, looking at the blood-red color, feeling a little scared in his heart.

"Well, the taste is quite good." Jiang Jingyuan chuckled. In the courtyard of the nursing home where he lived, there were some retired old people who specially grew blood to replenish blood. He might not know other vegetables, but this blood Food, you can recognize it at a glance wherever you go.

When she got home, Chen Xiuxiu babbled for a while when she saw the blood grass in Jiang Jingyuan's hand. Hearing that Jiang Jingyuan said it was edible, she was surprised and doubtful for a long time, half-believing.

In the end, he couldn't stand Jiang Jingyuan's nagging, so he tried to stir-fry a plate of pig's blood. Jiang Jingyuan couldn't wait to try it, and praised, "The taste is very good, you should try it too."

It took Jiang Jingyuan a long time to realize that he didn't feel nauseated or want to vomit today, so he hurriedly picked up his chopsticks, picked up some other dishes, tasted a few mouthfuls, and still didn't feel that disgusting feeling.

His hands trembled slightly, and he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart. He opened the knot in his heart, and he no longer had to endure the pain of wanting to eat.

"Is it so delicious?" Xu Shuizhou looked at Jiang Jingyuan's bite after bite, took a deep breath, picked up a small vegetable leaf, tasted it, it was no different from ordinary vegetables, but the taste of my mother's frying was quite good.

Jiang Jingyuan ate two bowls of Mu Junxi's pork liver porridge with a big appetite, and at the end he praised him a few words, which shocked Mu Junxi quite a bit. He had never heard Jiang Jingyuan praise him for his cooking skills.

Today is the first time!

----

The time has entered the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and there are only seven days left before the New Year. Every household puts out stove candy and sends the stove master to heaven,

Chen Xiuxiu encouraged everyone not to stay in the house all the time, and let everyone get up early to clean the inside and outside of the house.

Even Lin Xuesong, the young master who didn't touch the sun with his ten fingers, was stuffed with a broom by Chen Xiuxiu and asked him to sweep the floor.

After just a few random sweeps, he lost his energy and sat on the threshold, unable to survive. No one could resist his acting like a baby.

Chen Xiuxiu rubbed her forehead with a headache, "Why don't you just find Tan Jingyuan in your county, this child is also a poor one, with his parents gone, and with so many younger sisters, what can a group of children who are older than Chinese New Year do? , just invite me to my house to be lively."

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Lin Xuesong became interested as soon as he heard Tan Jingyuan, this time he knew your home address, next time he sees if this guy dares to bully me, if he bullies me, he will come directly to the door To block people.

Chen Xiuxiu didn't know what was going on in Lin Xuesong's mind. She thought that they often played together, and they might have a good time. Without thinking about it, she said, "Turn right at the fifth alley in the west of the city, and that's the third household."

Lin Xuesong lowered his head to remember carefully, led the horse out, got on the horse neatly, and rode away.

"This kid, he is reluctant to let him sweep the floor, but he can run faster if he is exposed to the cold." Chen Xiuxiu looked at his anxious look and smiled.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou came out, followed the sound and asked, "Mother, who has gone out?"

"I asked Xue Song to go to the town to invite Xiao Tan, thinking that their family is all children during the Chinese New Year, what can they do, why not celebrate the New Year with us and make it more lively."

Chen Xiuxiu replied indifferently, Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou looked at each other with panic in their eyes.

Come on, if these two enemies want to be together, then there's no need to make a fuss.

Chen Xiuxiu glanced at Jiang Jingyuan and Xu Shuizhou who were in horror, and asked warmly, "What's wrong."

"Cough, it's nothing." Jiang Jingyuan coughed, turned his head away, and silently lit a piece of wax for Tan Jingyuan in his heart.

Good luck, Brother Tan, if you meet such a rich reader, just follow along.

Xu Shuizhou clasped his hands together, wishing the Buddha to protect Tan Jingyuan from an ugly death.

"It's all my fault. I didn't stop Xuesong." After Xu Shuizhou finished chanting, he apologized to Jiang Jingyuan.

Jiang Jingyuan gently rubbed Xu Shuizhou's little head, "It's okay, I didn't know that mother would come here suddenly, let's hire him a better doctor."

Xu Shuizhou nodded obediently.

Lin Xuesong ran excitedly all the way to the county town. Because of the festival, the county town was full of people, even the usually remote alleys were crowded with people, and he had no choice but to find a place to get off his horse.

At this time, I secretly regretted that I should have dismounted when I was at the gate of the county seat.

This will see the crowd squeezing the horses, and the horses are about to lose their reins, and they are in a hurry.

Tan Jingyuan took his younger sisters out for shopping, anyway, there is no need to open fire at home today for the festival.

"Brother, look at this head flower." Tan Yushu pulled Tan Jingyuan and asked, pointing to a big peony head flower.

Tan Jingyuan took a look, hesitant to see the hair flower that was bigger than his younger sister's head, it really looked good on his head, he couldn't appreciate it.

Seeing that her brother didn't like it, Tan Yushu took her sisters to pick out other smaller head flowers. She didn't like the big head flower very much, but thought it was beautiful.

"Sister, I want this." Tan Simei took Tan Yushu's little hand and pointed to the unremarkable red-headed rope on the side.

Tan Yushu thought for a while, then pinched Tan Simei's small face, "Simei, brother said, everyone can pick something worth twenty cents today, and you already have that one, so you can choose another good one." .”

Tan Simei shook her head, "Sister, it's not easy for my brother to earn money. I want to save some money. Anyway, the head flowers are the same. My sister and younger sisters bought them, so I can often watch them."

"Fourth sister, don't try to save money for brother, the money that elder brother earns is for you to spend, pick a good-looking one." Tan Jingyuan patted fourth sister's head and said with a sigh.

Tan Simei still disagreed a little, raised her small face and said solemnly, "Brother is marrying a wife."

As soon as Tan Simei said that, all the girls who were picking flowers stopped.

Yes, it's time for their elder brother to marry a wife.

Aunt Hua next door said that it was because of them that they dragged the oil bottles so that the eldest brother did not marry a wife.

If it weren't for them, the eldest brother would have married a wife at this age, and he would have two children under his knees.

With a group of younger sisters like this, unless the family is rich, no one will be interested.

The girls were more delicate in their thoughts, and kept Aunt Hua's words in their hearts. When they heard Tan Simei saying that she was going to marry her eldest brother a wife, they all put down the beautiful flowers in their hands and went to buy the most unsuitable ones. Cheap red string.

Tan Jingyuan's nose was sore by their actions, and he turned his head to one side.

On this side, it was a coincidence that Lin Xuesong was seen riding a horse through the city.

Seeing him being stuck in the middle of the road, I even wanted to laugh a little bit, it deserves it, it makes you comfortable, now I know it's miserable.

Before laughing for a long time, I saw him being squeezed so much that he was about to fall off his horse.

Tan Jingyuan thought to himself, if he falls like this, his body must still be injured. As for the young master's family's wealth, the family must not be willing to let him suffer. I don't know how delicate and tender his body is.

He had already figured out how Lin Xuesong would cry when he fell, so that he could go up and laugh at him.

But for some reason, his body didn't listen to him. He rushed to Lin Xuesong's side after thinking about it, and used his body to catch Lin Xuesong who fell from the horse.

"Kacha—" There was a crisp fracture sound.

Tan Jingyuan's arm was dislocated.

He dropped Lin Xuesong in his hand to the ground.

"Ouch... why did you let me fall when you caught me?"

Lin Xuesong rubbed his ass that hurt from the fall, and got up to see who picked him up.

When he saw Tan Jingyuan, he was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't believe it, "Why is it you?"

Tan Jingyuan was speechless, and said to Lin Xuesong who couldn't believe it, "Why can't it be me? What, you still have to beat me up after saving you?"

"How could you come to save me? I must have misread it." Lin Xuesong was annoyed by his ruffian look, and would rather believe that he was not the one who saved him.

Tan Jingyuan twitched some of the corners of his mouth, looked at his arm that could not be lifted, and rolled his eyes at Lin Xuesong, "Yes, yes, yes, you young master, you can do whatever you say, who dares to offend you old man, you can spend money It can kill people, right?"

"You, you, you... why is this person like this?" Lin Xuesong looked at him and said nothing that was human. He wanted to curse back, but couldn't find the words, so he hesitated for a long time.

The corner of Tan Jingyuan's mouth curled up, imitating Lin Xuesong's colloquial language, "I, I, I, I... that's the kind of person. Why, it's different from the book writer you imagined."

When Tan Jingyuan said this, Lin Xuesong frowned, subconsciously followed his words, "That's right, the books written by people like you are just like that, and you can't become the person in the books for a lifetime."

"An angry horse in fresh clothes, a young man in green clothes, fluttering in white clothes, an elegant young man, personable, gentle as jade? I'm sorry, I, a poor scholar, let you down." Tan Jingyuan sneered, a man who couldn't even afford to eat, Enjoy the romance in the book.

"Okay, you have found him, you beat him, you beat him, you scolded him, you big son, why don't you go home, what are you doing in this dilapidated little county like ours?"

Tan Jingyuan carefully covered the dislocated arm, wanting Lin Xuesong to leave quickly.

Lin Xuesong tugged on the horse rope, with a displeased expression on his face, "You don't mind me, the legs are on my body, I can go wherever I want."

Tan Yushu and his sisters watched his brother flirting with Lin Xuesong, and opened his mouth wide. He knew this brother. He met him at Brother Jiang's house. He was handsome and rich.

"Big sister, does brother like him?" Tan Simei asked softly.

Tan Yushu shook her head, then nodded again, she was also a little uncertain.

"Look at the clothes and the family is very good, can you afford to marry?" Tan Ermei was a little worried.

Tan Yushu looked at his brother who was smiling easily, and gritted his teeth, "My brother fell in love with it, and if he can't afford it, he will marry him. In the future, everyone will save some money. I will learn embroidery from Aunt Hua and save more money." money."

"Yeah, the future sister-in-law is so pretty." Tan Sanmei glanced at Lin Xuesong's smooth jade face, and wanted to touch it, no wonder her elder brother liked it.

In the end, Lin Xuesong and Tan Jingyuan chatted on the street for a long time before reluctantly taking the younger sisters home.

"My house is so impoverished, you can sit anywhere." Tan Jingyuan stood by the door and invited Lin Xuesong into the house.

Lin Xuesong looked at the dilapidated but fairly clean small yard and walked in. Tan Yushu hurriedly moved a stool.

Seeing the clothes on Lin Xuesong's body, he wiped and wiped them with the sleeves until the stool was polished, and then let Lin Xuesong sit on it.

"Why wipe it with your clothes? Your clothes are all worn out." Lin Xuesong was puzzled, and pulled Tan Yushu's arm to look at her clothes.

Tan Yushu was a little embarrassed, her face blushed, "There is no suitable cloth at home."

Tan Jingyuan didn't blame his sister, but just said indifferently, "My house is like this, you can order it, and Yushu will come over and move the door for me."

Tan Yushu stepped forward to support the door for his brother, but Tan Jingyuan stuck his dislocated arm in the crack of the door and folded it heavily.

"Ah!" With a cry of pain, with the crisp sound of bones in the dislocated arm, it was successfully connected.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xuesong was startled by Tan Jingyuan's actions.

"It's just a dislocated hand, why are you yelling?" Tan Jingyuan shook his hand, seeing that there was no discomfort, he said indifferently.

Lin Xuesong blushed, he must have accidentally dislocated his hand when he was rescuing him just now, and he blamed himself for not noticing and arguing with others.

"How can you use such a crude method? What if you suffer from sequelae?" Lin Xuesong pulled Tan Jingyuan's arm to check, but almost tore off his clothes.

Tan Jingyuan shook off his hand, his face flushed slightly, "You are a brother who ran to other people's houses to pick off the clothes of the man, you are not ashamed."

Lin Xuesong was choked by him, "Don't be ignorant of kind-hearted people. I care about you. It's okay if you don't let me take off your clothes. Walk around and follow me to the doctor's clinic to see the doctor."

Tan Yushu tried to smooth things over, "Stop arguing, two brothers, and go to the medical clinic to have a look. The eldest brother should listen to this brother."

Lin Xuesong nodded solemnly and said, "You should take a look, little sister, when you come back, brother, I'll pay you another piece of clothing." He didn't forget that Tan Yushu wiped the stool for him with his sleeve just now.

After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether Tan Jingyuan wanted to or not, she dragged him to the hospital.

Leaving behind a room full of radish heads staring at each other.
