Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 18

Li Laoshi nodded and smiled silly.He dotes on his daughter no less than the He family, and his daughter is much more well-behaved and sensible than his second son, and he will try his best to satisfy everything he wants.

Behind Li Laoshi, Qu said proudly: "Sister Jing is serious. You can see that the herbs she planted are really alive."

When Li Laoshi just came home, he saw four more flower pots next to the flowers planted by Tangke, and there were a few unnamed grasses in them. He thought it was planted by Tangke, but now he realized that it was the herb planted by his daughter. Praise Said: "Sister Jing is really smart and capable."

Li Jingjing said modestly: "My brother can plant an acre of herbs, he is smarter and more capable than me."

Qu smiled and said, "Sister Jing is good at talking."

At dusk, the Eight Immortals table in the main house of the Li family and the foldable round table in the miscellaneous house were carried to the center of the yard, and each table was filled with the same sumptuous cattle banquet and a jar of pure mellow rice wine brewed by Taiqing Guan from late rice.

All of Qu Kuaishou's family came.The two families ate at separate tables for men and women just like last night.

Lin's hair was changed to a silver hairpin inlaid with turquoise, and she had a fake smile on her face. When everyone was not paying attention, she sneaked into the kitchen.

Mrs. He was picking up bowls in the kitchen, when she saw Mrs. Lin walking to the well covered with stone slabs, she said, "Be careful where you step."

Lin's eyes were only on the beef leg meat in the big wooden basin by the well, but he couldn't see the protruding stone slab, his foot got caught, he staggered, almost fell on the slate, and was about to curse, when people came from outside to eat. With the laughter of wine, he quickly turned around and walked out of the kitchen quickly with his flat chest.

It was the first time for He Shi to be ignored in his own kitchen, and he was not angry.

Li Yunqing came in to help, and whispered: "Mother, why are you so angry?"

Mrs. He didn't hide it from Mrs. Lin, and said: "Just now she was only staring at our corned beef, and almost fell on the well stone cover."

When Li Yunqing was a child, he often fell on the well stone cover, and said softly: "Why didn't she fall?"

With a smile in his eyes, He said reproachfully, "Don't curse people."

The mother and son went out with bowls to distribute among the crowd, and after they were seated, the feast began.

Qu Kuaishou is 50 years old this year. Tonight is the second time in his life to eat beef. The last time he ate it, he only got three slices. This time he ate a large amount with his belly open. His chopsticks were full of oil. He said: "I heard that only our two families and the old patriarch's family eat beef in the whole village. Our family is really blessed with longevity. I, the uncle, offer a cup to Changsheng."

Li Laoshi quickly stood up and said, "Uncle, don't be polite."

His father was away for many years, and he rarely came home.His family has a foreign surname, and he lives so peacefully in Qujia Village, and he also entrusts Qu Kuai to protect him.

Lin looked at Li Laoshi, smiled and said loudly: "Changsheng, you see that your brother and nephew are studying in the county academy, and you got a lot of beef today, can you take the corned beef from the kitchen back to them as a gift?" gentlemen?"

Everyone looked at Lin with different eyes.

Qu Kuai shook his head and said, "Our whole family has eaten it, how dare we take it away?"

Seeing that Qu Jiu didn't say a word and looked at her smiling, Mrs. Lin knew that her husband had intentions, and continued: "Changsheng, your brother and nephew will be high school students next year, and they will definitely help your family in the future."

Deng's lips moved slightly, but he did not refuse.

Before Li Laoshi could speak, Li Jingjing shouted: "The corned beef is for my grandfather. If you want to bring it, take the remaining beef head."

Anyway, she is a child now, and she can say "children's words without restraint" in four words.

Li Yunxiao followed up and shouted: "I want to eat beef head meat. Whoever takes my beef head meat, I will beat him!"

The two twins are the youngest, and they are usually pampered.Li Yunxiao dared to say anything.

Li honestly said: "Save some corned beef for my father."

Lin interrupted Li Laoshi's words and said mockingly: "Changsheng, you can't even bear this bit of beef, how can you ask your brother and nephew to help you in the future?"

Li Yunqing's face was tense.

Qu's shouted: "You listen carefully before you open your mouth. You haven't said no for a long time, you just want to save some for his father. Why don't you provoke their brothers, uncles and nephews?"

Qu Kuaishou always felt that there was something wrong with his son and grandson giving beef to his husband, but he couldn't figure out why. Seeing his younger sister getting angry, as soon as he got drunk, he glared and shouted: "Mrs. !"

Lin was scolded in front of the junior, especially when Xiu Qi was mentioned, she was extremely ashamed and angry, and was about to cry loudly.

Mrs. Deng glared at Mrs. Lin and said, "You dare to disobey your father?"

Lin cried softly.

He Shi said slowly: "Uncle, don't be angry. Originally, my mother was planning to bring some corned beef to my eldest brother and nephew to Tanzhou to see off Mr., but I stopped her."

Lin's eyes shot fire and stared at He.

Qu's eyes were puzzled.Her husband didn't eat a morsel of the beef, and it never occurred to her to give away the giblet.

He reached out and patted Qu's thigh to reassure her, and said, "There was a beef case in the scientific examination in the capital of the previous dynasty. A candidate who was an excellent student sent beef jerky to his hometown two months before the examination. The day before the start of the exam, he was jointly reported by four classmates for stealing and killing cattle, and the government sent yamen servants to bring him to court according to the law."

Qu Changjiu and his son frowned.

Their family has no power and power, and their family wealth is not much. Such things are spread on their heads. If their reputation is ruined, they still have to take the imperial examination.

He went on to say: "His husband admitted that he had eaten the beef jerky he sent, but he didn't know the origin of the beef jerky. He couldn't tell the truth. The government sent a yamen servant to his hometown to collect evidence. It took 35 days before and after, and finally proved it for him. It’s clear that the beef jerky is made from the meat of old and dead cows, and it’s not poaching, but the scientific examination has already ended, and he lost the opportunity of this examination.”

Qu Duo slapped the table angrily and stood up, angrily said: "There are such villains in the world who framed their classmates, they are not worthy of reading sage books."

Li Yunqing was thoughtful, and said slowly: "Brother, if this examinee is considerate and doesn't give the sir the easy-to-provoke beef jerky, can the villain take advantage of the loophole?"

Qu Duo sat down and said bitterly: "How can a gentleman be afraid of a villain."

Li Yunqing said: "Brother, a gentleman is not afraid of villains, but guards against villains."

He looked at the eldest son Li Yunqing who was sitting among the men, and said, "Qing Yazi is right."

Li Laoshi patted his eldest son on the shoulder in relief.

Qu Kuai patted his head with his hands and said, "I'm really pretending to be silly here. I finally remembered that what Meizi Yi said happened 20 years ago. The examinee was from Tanzhou, and he was studying at the Capital Academy."

Deng stretched out his hand to caress his chest, and said slowly: "It's fortunate that sister Yi knows a lot, otherwise I will believe in Lin's stupid idea with Duo for a long time, and it would be great if someone framed me in the scientific examination next year."

Little Deng looked at Qu Duo in fear.

Lin's tears were withdrawn, she lowered her head and dared not make a sound.
