Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 130 Entering Tanzhou Academy for a long time (4)
He Shi didn't know the middle-aged woman, but he knew the slaves, and asked: "I heard that your mansion has moved to Chang'an?"

The old woman nodded and said: "The old master of our mansion has been transferred to Chang'an Academy as the vice president, and the eldest master has been transferred to Chang'an Academy to serve as the deputy general of the guard. Everyone in the mansion has left Tanzhou Academy and went to Chang'an Academy. It is estimated that they are on the way and have not yet arrived. After leaving your mansion, the slaves and servants will also go to Chang'an tomorrow."

The mansion where Dean Niu lived in Tanzhou Academy was granted by the imperial court.After he resigns, he will move out to let the new dean live.

The servant girl presented a thick letter sealed with wax with both hands.

He Shi took it and opened the envelope, seeing that Bai Shi had written twelve pages, he couldn't help but look at it carefully for a while, with a complicated expression, he didn't hand the letter to Li Laoshi, but folded the envelope and held it tightly.

The mother-in-law had already received Bai's order, so she carefully looked at He's expression before and after reading the letter, and said, "Ma'am, the fifth young master copied two medicine books with his own hands, and said that he wants the servants to hand them over to Pharmacist Li."

He asked Li Yunxiao to call back Li Jingjing who was wandering in the herb garden.

The mother-in-law and servants saw that Li Jingjing's clothes and pants were very clean, except for a little dirt on the edge of her shoes, which she couldn't find unless she looked carefully, as if she had returned from a field of medicinal herbs.

"Pharmacist Li, the fifth young master said that he would copy the remaining two medicine books in the mansion and ask someone to bring them to you when he arrives at Chang'an Academy." All the copied medicine books were presented to Li Jingjing.

After the case of hundreds of people being stung by a bumble bee, all the Tanzhou Academy, from the dean to the handyman, called Li Jingjing "Li Dapharmacist".

The mother-in-law is in charge of the mother-in-law in the Niu Mansion, and she is very well informed, so she knows that Li Jingjing is a great pharmacist.

"Brother Niu is really bothering you. Wait for a while, I'll go get some things for him." Li Jingjing held the sandalwood box in both hands, feeling very moved.

She went to the pharmacy, took out two handwritten medicine books in the sandalwood box, filled them with goat milk jade muscle ointment, antipyretic powder, and took a small basket filled with pain-relieving and blood-activating ointment, hemostatic powder, Qiuli paste.

The mother-in-law and servants accepted the medicine from Li Jingjing, memorized the name and efficacy of the medicine, and dared not have tea and food at Li's house, and even less dared to accept the reward from He's family, and hurried away in a carriage.

He returned to the bedroom with Bai's letter, unable to calm down for a long time, and ate dinner absent-mindedly.

Qu Shi saw that something was wrong and waited for dinner, so he asked Wang Yue and Wang Lian to take the twins out to play, called He Shi into the bedroom for questioning, and asked with concern: "Sister Yi, have you seen Mrs. Bai this time?" From the beginning of her letter, she was out of her mind, what did she write in that letter?"

Qu's could not read, so He could lie to her, but he thought she was his own mother, and said frankly: "Mother, Mrs. Bai's letter is to ask our sister Jing to marry her second son, Niu Haoxing."

Qu's smile was all over his face immediately, and his voice was involuntarily raised, "There are hundreds of girls in my family. Our sister Jing is very good. The Niu family has gone to Chang'an, and they also want to marry her."

Infected by Qu's joy, Mrs. He said excitedly: "Mother, she told us about Mrs. Bai's experience before. This time she said in the letter that she has discussed with her father-in-law and husband. If ten years later Niu Haoxing and Meizi Jing are married, Meizi Jing's first son is named Niu, the second is Bai, and the third is He."

Qu's face showed surprise, and said: "Mrs. Bai is really amazing, she managed to convince President Niu and his son to change the surname of the future grandson of the Niu family."

He said: "Dean Niu and Mrs. Bai's father are close friends. Maybe they agreed to this when Mrs. Bai married Niu Haoxing's father. Now Mrs. Bai wants me to agree to betroth Miss Jing to Niu Haoxing, so as to inherit the surname. Bloodline is the condition."

Qu put away her smile, and said cautiously: "The Niu family is too chaotic, Niu Haoxing has three half-sisters, and one sister-in-law, sister-in-law Jing will have to deal with four sisters-in-law when she gets married. Let’s talk about the step-grandmother and step-aunts. The Niu family is not as good as the Hong family, and I don’t agree with Jing’s sister marrying into the Niu family when she grows up.”

He's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Madam Bai said in the letter that when Niu Haoxing grows up and passes the Jinshi examination, he will be sent to other places to become an official and not return to live in Chang'an."

Qu shook his head and said: "Now that Dean Niu is alive, he has the final say on the affairs of Niu's mansion, but after a hundred years, his wives and concubines will all become old ladies, aunts and grandmas, and a single word of filial piety can overwhelm Bai's family." Husband and wife, leave Niu Haoxing in Chang'an to serve them, and then she will be so tired that she will still be Jing's sister."

She didn't expect to be so transparent at first, and this was all learned from listening to operas and storytelling in the other courtyard of the Duke's Mansion in Tanzhou.

"Mother, I actually think the same as you in my heart, but I'm afraid that after a hundred years I'll have no face to see my natal parents who died tragically." He sighed, took the letter out of the cabinet and put it on the table.

Seeing that He Shi's eyes were red, Qu's felt sad, and softly persuaded: "Your father will be back in a few days, I'll ask him, what should you do about inheriting your natal family name and continuing your bloodline?"

He Shi thought that his ears had heard wrong, his beautiful eyes opened wide, he held Qu Shi's hands tightly, and asked anxiously: "Mother, are you serious?"

Mrs. Qu nodded to meet Mrs. He's extremely expectant eyes, and said softly: "Your natal family is famous. Our Li family's marriage to you is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. You have suffered in our Li family for more than ten years. Our Li family The family owes you a lot, and should compensate you and help you fulfill this wish for many years."

He's tears fell involuntarily, and he choked up and said: "Mother, you are wrong. I was able to marry into the Li family because of my blessing in my previous life. I didn't suffer at all in the Li family, and you treated me as if you hadn't. The Li family didn't owe me."

With tears in her eyes, Qu said: "Oh, your life in our Li family is far worse than your sister's life in Qin's family."

He threw himself into Qu's warm arms and cried, "Mother, you treat me like your own daughter, and Qu Bing respects me very much. I am healthy, have two sons and a daughter, and Changsheng treats me wholeheartedly. I have no shortage of food at home. You don’t have to worry about it, and you don’t need to worry about it every day. I live a better life than my sister.”

Qu's heart was extremely pleased.Since then, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has become closer.

That night, Mrs. He wrote a letter of refusal to Mrs. Bai, and the next day asked Wang Lian to send it to the town and hand it over to the wife and servants of the Niu Mansion who stayed in the inn specially to wait for the letter to be answered.

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Qubing, Qu Jiujiu, and three students from the Qu family returned to Qujia Village from Tanzhou Academy in a carriage of the Qin Mansion.

The Qin family sent a carriage with food to the Li family.The woman in charge brought a letter from He Huishu to the He family, and a letter from Qin Minye to Li Jingjing.

It began to rain heavily at noon on Mid-Autumn Festival, and it continued to rain for three hours. After the rain stopped, the sky also darkened. The moon was covered by dark clouds, the stars were dark, and the earth was dark.

Qu Shi, He Shi, and Li Qubing took the twins to Qu Kuaishou's house for a reunion dinner as in previous years.
