The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 702 Zichen is sick (1)
Hao Shi said: "Last time your uncle said that there is a cook in their martial arts gym. She is not bad. He said that he has proposed a marriage, but he didn't tell you?"

Leng Ping shook her head, "Last time my uncle only said that he wanted Yuan Bao, and he went to see Yuan Bao after a few words with me, and he didn't mention marriage at all!"

Hao shi said softly, "Maybe there is some delay, why don't you ask?"

Leng Ping sighed quietly in her heart.

In fact, Leng Ping has already seen the thoughts of Hao Shi and Li Jiu. If this is in modern times, one is a widow and the other is a widower. I am afraid that Hao Shi has such thoughts, and he may not have the courage to be with Li Jiu!
But if Li Jiu has the courage...Li Jiu is a man after all, if a man is responsible, a woman will not be afraid of anything!
"Mom, I'll ask tomorrow!" Leng Ping said.

Hao Shi nodded, and left with a heart full of thoughts.

The next day, Zhuangzi sent a few hares caught in the snow, so Leng Ping asked the small kitchen to clean up, made a pot of stewed rabbit meat, put it in a casserole, and sent it to the martial arts hall for Li Jiu .

In the first lunar month, the martial arts gym hadn't opened yet, so it was very deserted. Occasionally, I saw a few apprentices who paid for their tuition by work, sweeping the snow.

This is Leng Ping's first time here. The gatekeeper didn't know Leng Ping, and said he wanted to go in to report, but it took a long time before he came out. The rabbit meat was already cold.

"It's a pity for Ping'er's craftsmanship. This rabbit meat must be eaten hot!" Li Jiu looked at the frozen rabbit meat and felt that it was a pity. She called the cook and asked her to take it down and heat it up. hot.

The cook came here, she was of average appearance, but she had a slim waist and a big buttocks, and she was a lucky one with her facial features. She came to greet Leng Ping, she smiled softly, and went down with the casserole.

"Uncle, is this cook the person you want to marry?" Leng Ping asked directly.

Li Jiu was stunned, rubbed her head in embarrassment, lowered her head and smiled and said, "How do you know? I thought I would notify you when the date is settled, but I didn't expect you to know it first!"

"You told my mother last time, and my mother asked me to ask you, is there anything we need to prepare!" Seeing him like this, Leng Ping couldn't help being a little angry, and raised her voice deliberately.

Li Jiu was stunned, her face was a little gloomy, "Your mother-in-law is a warm-hearted person, so she has to worry about it! I just plan to get a household registration in the yamen and that's all, I don't even plan to hold a banquet. At this age, I still want to marry a bride. Make people laugh!"

Leng Ping deliberately asked: "Have you really thought about it? This is a lifetime thing!"

Li Jiu lowered her eyes, "What a lifetime, seeing that I am in my [-]s, most of my life has passed, and your grandma is getting old, and she only has one wish, that I want me to carry on the family line of the Li family. Take care of the pear family, right?"

"In that case, why do you still want to provoke my mother?" Leng Ping was even more displeased.

Li Jiu was stunned, her face turned red all of a sudden, an old man, who had been held back for a long time, did not calm down, "You...what are you talking about? I..."

"In recent years, you have visited my house intermittently. Sometimes I am not at home, and you still come as usual. Is it because you want to see me? Last time you asked for Yuan Bao, saying that you recognized your son, but you would rather Is it because of my mother that I live alone? At first, I thought that your thoughts for my mother were true. After a while, I will discuss it with Hao Ren. I really love each other, and I also match you, but now you are going to get married. If you really make up your mind and stop thinking about my mother, you will get married when you get married. I am afraid that after you get married, you still have that kind of thinking about my mother , wouldn't it be more painful for the two of you?" Leng Ping said in a deep voice.

Li Jiu's face turned blue, and she said after a long time: "Ping'er, don't talk nonsense about these words. I'm a big man, but your mother-in-law is a woman. If it gets out...it will affect your mother-in-law's reputation. !"

Leng Ping glanced at Li Jiu, stood up abruptly and said, "Okay, just pretend I haven't been here today, and I'm leaving!"

Leng Ping got up and walked out, just in time to meet the cook coming in with a hot casserole, seeing Leng Ping smilingly asked: "Miss Biao is leaving so soon? I'm getting hot rabbit meat, but I don't want to eat it." Do you know it's hot..."

Leng Ping ignored her and left.

The cook, Mrs. Chen, stepped forward and put the steaming casserole on the table. With an unnatural smile on her face, she whispered to Li Jiu, "Master, does Miss Biao dislike me? I..."

I feel pity for Chen's expression.

"No, Ping'er has that kind of temperament. She was arguing with me just now, and it has nothing to do with you!" Li Jiu said, she was not in the mood to eat rabbit meat anymore, she just said: "Go and get me a jar of wine, I want to drink two sips!"

Chen said happily: "Okay, I'll take it for you right now, master, how about I drink with you?"

Li Jiu waved her hand, "No, you just have to do your own thing, don't you still have to prepare lunch for Dalu and the others?"

Dalu is Li Jiu's eldest disciple, he has no father, no mother and no home, he has been living in the martial arts gym with his two younger juniors, and has nowhere to go during the New Year.

Mrs. Chen was a little disappointed, and after bringing Li Jiu a jar of wine, she responded and went out.

Li Jiu sat there in a daze, without moving for a long time, the stuffed rabbit in the casserole became cold again.

When Hao Shi heard that Leng Ping had gone to the martial arts hall, she hadn't thought about it all morning. She sat in front of the window and watched, listening to the movement in the courtyard, so she called Tao Zi over and asked, "But Ping'er is back?"

"Mom, I'm back!" Shitou bounced in. Now Shitou is seventeen years old. He is taller than Hao Dan, almost as tall as Hao Ren, thin, with handsome features. Looking at the stone, I always think of Hao Nian who was in trouble with her.

Shi Shi is the one who most resembles Hao Nian among the children.

"How old is the child, and still so unstable!" Hao couldn't help but said, and asked, "Didn't you say that the academy is about to start? It's only been a few days and you're back? Could it be that you're being lazy again?"

Shi Shi smiled and said: "Mother, I never slack off in studying, but there is no news about this year's palace examination, and there are chaos everywhere. Master Yan doesn't have the heart to teach, so we have a holiday! It happens that my elder brother is not here, so I want to stay at home to help Helping sister-in-law, sister-in-law still has to take care of Xiao Zichen and take care of such a big family, it's too tiring!"

Hao remembered that Hao Ren had also mentioned this matter before, and wanted Shito to come back to help temporarily. As the saying goes, if Shitou only knows how to read books, he will not succeed in traveling thousands of miles. The second elder brother is too busy with the medicine business to take care of the family, so I don't worry if you come back to help your sister-in-law!"
