Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Mr. Wu's illness has been diagnosed and treated by famous doctors, and most of it has been cured. The rest is just a matter of taking good care of himself.

Mrs. Wu is careful and considerate, taking care of Mr. Wu's food, clothing, housing and transportation in an orderly manner, without allowing any negligence.

But suddenly the weather changed, and Mr. Wu still started to cough, but fortunately it was very mild.

Class had just finished at noon that day, and as soon as Mr. Wu returned to the main courtyard, Mrs. Wu brought a glass of rock sugar lily pear water.

"Drink this pear water first," Mrs. Wu ordered with a flash of sadness in her eyes. "It's good to moisten your throat. I've asked someone to go to the south to find some good Qiuli ointment, but I don't know when it will be delivered. arrive."

Mr. Wu waved his hand, hoping that his wife would not be too anxious. Unfortunately, her throat was itchy, and she covered her mouth and coughed several times before he could speak.

At this time, Manager Wu suddenly came in and reported, "Sir, Madam, the old man of the Tai family is here to visit."

Mr. Wu and his wife were both surprised, guessing that the old man had something to do and came to visit him personally.

Soon, the old man was welcomed in, and Zhuzhu followed him. As soon as he saw Mrs. Wu, she ran over, "Master's wife, Master's wife, Zhuzhu misses you!"

Mrs. Wu bent down and picked up the fat girl, smiling happily, "Zhuzhu is finally here. Since you came home, my brother talks about you every day and complains about why I didn't give him a sister!"
  If he knew you were coming, he would probably jump for joy! "

After saying that, she quickly asked Manager Wu to pick up her son.

On the other side, Mr. Tai and Mr. Wu had already greeted each other.

Mr. Wu didn't beat around the bush and asked straight away, "Uncle, are you coming here like this? Is there something wrong?"

The old man quickly waved his hand, "No, no, everything is fine at home. I had nothing to do, so I took Zhuzhu for a walk in the city. Seeing that it was noon, no one was cooking in the small courtyard, so the two of us were shameless. Come over and have some food and drinks!"

Mr. Wu couldn't help but laugh. This old man was not a scholar, but he acted according to his thoughts, said what he wanted, and there was a sense of intimacy between the lines, which made people feel happy.

"Okay, uncle, I usually find it boring to eat alone, but it will definitely be fun with you and me."

The old man pointed to the basket on the table and said, "I heard that sir has a cough. My third son exchanged a jar of Laiyang's Qiuli ointment with a merchant from the south. It is the best for moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. Please give it a try, sir. In addition, my eldest son My wife also found some pieces of snow rabbit skin, which are not expensive, but they are the softest and warmest thing to make a small waistcoat for the child."

Mr. Wu hasn't said anything yet, but Mrs. Wu is extremely happy because of this timely rain.

"Thank you uncle, we were looking for Qiuli ointment everywhere, but uncle brought it here! I will make a cup for you, and uncle will try it too!"

After saying that, she put down her beads and went to make the pear water herself, which she quickly served.

In addition to Qiuli, Qiuli ointment also contains medicinal materials, which is a little cooler than ordinary pear water. After drinking it, Mr. Wu couldn't help laughing and said, "My throat is really comfortable."

On the other hand, Mr. Tai laughed and said, "This sweet thing is not to my taste. It is not as refreshing as strong alcohol."

Everyone also laughed, and Mrs. Wu hurriedly said, "Then I'll go make some food. There's some good wine in the house, so I'll move it out for uncle."

At this time, the fat boy from the Wu family was also brought in, and he held hands with Zhuzhu and played together. He was so happy!

The Wu family has a lot of hands, but Mrs. Wu is not needed to cook. Just give an order and the cooks in the kitchen will get busy.

In less than half an hour, the meal was ready.

Mrs. Wu saw that the old man had something to say with her husband, so she set their dining table in the study. Then she took her two children to eat in the main courtyard, and after eating, she went to play with Yongning and the others. Sure enough, the old man and Mr. Wu had a few glasses of wine, and then they got down to business.

"Sir, you also know that our family comes from a humble background. We have never met a few noble people in our lives, and we are even stranger to Kyoto. But now that Yongning is studying, I will definitely go to Kyoto to take the exam in the future, and Jiye is always eager to try. I want to go south to do business. I am really worried.

"Sir, you are well-informed and your family is honorable enough. Can you please work a little harder and tell me about Kyoto. Don't worry about the emperor and princes, princes and nobles, and what's new in Kyoto. In short, anything can be done. I This old man just wants to hear it.”

There is nothing wrong with Mr. Wu, because last time the nobles of Kyoto grabbed business, the Tai family gave up the cashmere clothing business, and they must not be willing to accept it.

Now I want to inquire more, whether I want to avoid it in the future, or look for an opportunity to take revenge, it is human nature.

So, he thought for a while and started with some interesting anecdotes to describe life in Kyoto to the old man bit by bit.

Although he did not grow up in Kyoto, he had studied and lived in Kyoto for several years. Even though he now lives in the north, he often exchanges letters with relatives and friends and pays attention to the trends in Kyoto.

Once the chat box is open, it is difficult to close it, not to mention having a little drink.

Moreover, many literati are arrogant and have many dissatisfactions and opinions about the country, the country and the government. Mr. Wu will still have reservations about relatives and friends, but he is much more relaxed about the old man who came from a peasant background.

After all, there is no way that Mr. Tai could spread the word about his bad words or even his treason and harm him!

After eating this meal for a full hour, when the sun was setting, the old man listened with satisfaction, Mr. Wu also talked heartily, and both of them were [-]% drunk.

Mrs. Wu made the decision early to give the students in front of them a holiday. Song Hui and others went home, leaving Yongning and Yongfeng waiting for their grandfather to return to the courtyard.

Mrs. Wu was afraid that the old man was drunk and Yongning was a brat and could not take good care of Zhuzhu, so she simply kept Zhuzhu for one more night.

Yongning was a little reluctant to let go, but the boy from the Wu family was so happy that he hugged Zhuzhu's arm and wouldn't let go.

This makes Tai Yongning really want to snatch his sister and run away. How old is he? He actually already cares about his precious sister...

The old man originally had no idea because he didn't know the situation in Kyoto and was fighting in court. But now Mr. Wu helped him understand everything, and his mind became clearer.

When he returned to the courtyard, he fell down on the kang and slept so loudly that Yongning even helped him take off his shoes and socks.

Yongning was worried about something going on at home, so he asked the veteran to ask a few questions.

But the veteran said, "The family is fine, nothing happened. Maybe the old man doesn't sleep well and always hangs out in the middle of the night. We were worried that he would be cold, so we persuaded him to go back several times.

"Now it seems that it's not that the old man can't sleep well, it's because he's short of wine! If he drinks two taels of strong wine every night, he will sleep so soundly!"

Everyone laughed when he said this, even Yongning was relieved, thinking that if he had time to go out on the street again, he would definitely buy two jars of good wine for his grandfather to take home.

There was no talking all night, but the old man probably slept comfortably and didn't wake up the next day.

Yongning couldn't wait any longer, so he went to Wu's house first, thinking of sending his sister back at noon.

Similarly, when the family didn't see the old man coming back when they woke up early, they were also worried about it. Tai Jizu was going to the city to pick up someone, but Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue robbed him of his job.

The two boys didn't even give their family a chance to refuse, so they ran away! Little did they know that this run would lead to disaster! (End of chapter)
