Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 62 Liu Xiniang presents a red crystal gold bracelet (2)
Qu's family wanted to send them some bacon, but they refused to accept it, and they did not eat at Li's house. They said they had brought their own dry food, and after only sitting for half an hour, they hurried away in a donkey cart.

On the first day of the new year, another person came to give Li Jingjing a New Year's greeting and thank her. It turned out to be Liu Xiniang and her son and daughter.

I haven't seen her for a few months, but Liu Xiniang looks very good, wearing a lavender mid-coat and royal blue dress, she still looks very good-looking.

Her son is Liu Feng, who is nine years old and studies in a school in Liuyang County.

Her daughter's name is Liu Cai, who is eight years old this year. Her appearance follows her, but her character is a little timid, and she dare not look people in the eye.

Qu Shi likes children very much, and treats them with dried fruits and snacks at home.

Li Qubing was not talkative, and he really wanted to ask Liu Feng what the school in the county was like, because he was not familiar with him when they met for the first time, and seeing that Liu Feng was not lively and easy to talk, he didn't open his mouth.

On the other hand, Li Yunxiao knew everyone well, poured water for the three guests enthusiastically, but when he got excited, he knocked the water glass and wet one of Liu Cai's embroidered shoes.

Today, Liu Xiniang wears new clothes and shoes for her children. Liu Cai’s embroidered shoes are specially bought by a customer at a time-honored shop in Tanzhou to thank Liu Xiniang for being a big matchmaker. Ten times as many shoes.

The uppers were stained with tea stains and could not be washed cleanly, and a pair of new embroidered shoes were ruined after wearing them for half a day.

Li Yunqing directly took the troublemaker Li Yunxiao out of the main room.

Liu Cai wasn't unhappy at all, but she was very shy and determined not to take off her shoes and let Li Jingjing take them to the fire to dry.

The He family asked Li Jingjing to take a set of the Four Treasures of the Study bought from Tanzhou and a small sachet containing silk flowers, and gave them to the brothers and sisters of the Liu family.

Liu Feng accepted the Four Treasures of the Study, a smile flashed across his small face, and when he heard Li Yunqing calling his name cheerfully and loudly outside, he hesitated for a moment before going out to play.

Liu Cai took the sachet with both hands, still looking at the ground, said softly, "Thank you, Auntie."

Li Jingjing smiled and took the sachet from Liu Cai, took out a rose-red silk flower inlaid with four and a half pearls, put it on her hairpin, clapped her hands and praised: "Sister Cai is so beautiful."

Liu Cai looked up with a small face, Li Jingjing went to the bedroom to get the bronze mirror for her to look at, and she finally showed an innocent smile.

"Cai Meizi seldom smiles at home." Liu Xiniang was very happy when she saw this, chatting with He Shi and Qu Shi, she talked about her special situation in a moment of excitement.

It turned out that Liu Xiniang was the only daughter in the family and suffered from epilepsy. In order to continue the family tradition of the Liu family, her father refused to let her marry and was divorced by her in-laws, so he recruited a husband for her.

Men who marry into marriage have been ridiculed for hundreds of years, and good men will never marry into marriage.There are only a handful of men in Liuyang County, and none of them are good men.

Liu Xiniang's husband is an orphan. Before they got married, he was a lay disciple in the monastery. He had a good face, was stupid and had no opinion, was looked down upon by others, and lived a very miserable life.

After he got married, his life changed drastically, food, clothing, housing and transportation were ten times better than those in the monastery, but he didn't cherish it, and followed a few gangsters to learn to be lazy, idle about, and not earn a living.

He didn't care about all the expenses of the family, he didn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt were expensive, and he had to receive five cents of pocket money from Liu Xiniang every month, and if he didn't give it to him, he wouldn't go home and go to the temple.

Liu Xiniang gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters, both of whom took her surname "Liu".

Four years ago, Liu Xiniang's husband repented after listening to the villain's instigation, and wanted to let his daughter take his surname, and let him decide on her daughter's marriage.Liu Xiniang refused.

In a fit of anger, this guy actually threatened Liu Xiniang to shave off his family and become a monk.Liu Xiniang didn't believe it at all.

This fellow ate vegetarian food in the temple for a few days, and was irritated by the sound of monks chanting scriptures, so he went down the mountain to drink with his friends. When he returned to the temple at night, he encountered a heavy rainstorm, stepped on the ground, rolled into a ravine, and died of suffocation because his nose was covered with mud.

Fortunately, he died on the mountain in the temple, otherwise Liu Xiniang would not have been able to tell if he died in the Liu family.

Liu Xiniang got married in a daze, and suddenly became a widow.

She is not sad and does not want to remarry, and continues to be a wedding bride in the county, earning money to support her parents and raise her children.

Now she lives in a small courtyard with a secondary entrance, her parents are in good health, eat well and live well, her son goes to school, and her daughter learns embroidery from her embroiderer. She is no worse than other children.

Qu's tears were about to fall when she heard it.Her life is no different from that of a widow, but it is many times better than that of Liu Xiniang.

Listening to Liu Xiniang's tone, He didn't feel resentful towards her parents or her deceased husband, so she couldn't help but think highly of her, and said with admiration, "You are a good daughter and mother."

Liu Xiniang shook her head and said, "I usually go to work, so I don't have time to accompany them. You see, they are very introverted, none of them are like me."

He looked at Liu Xiu, who kept his head down and said nothing, and Liu Feng, who had a stern face, and thought: There is a father who died in the temple as a married man, and he will suffer so many ridicules when he goes out. It's strange if he has a lively temper.

She had a good suggestion in her mind, but she didn't know Liu Xiniang well enough to say it directly.

Liu Xiniang couldn't resist Qu's enthusiasm, and took her children to have a sumptuous lunch at Li's house.The two bearers who came with her were the same as last time, and they both brought dry food. Qu asked Li Qubing to bring them two bowls of hot tea.

After the meal, Li Jingjing offered to take the pulse of Liu Feng and Liu Cai, and asked if the two children had epilepsy. Liu Feng shook his head, and Liu Cai nodded slightly and shed tears.

Li Jingjing said to Liu Feng: "Little brother, this disease is not only inherited, but also very stubborn. You are a scholar, and you will take the scientific examination in the future, so you still have medicine on you."

Liu Feng bowed to Li Jingjing again in gratitude.

Li Jingjing liked such polite, precocious and sensible children, and gave each of Liu Feng and his sister a bottle of Quanxie epilepsy pills for them to keep.

Liu Xiniang has already received a bottle of Quanxie epilepsy pills from Li Jingjing, which contains seven pills, which can save seven lives in epileptic seizures.

Before she came to visit Li Jingjing, she had inquired about it. It was rumored that Li Jingjing was Guang Mingzi's closed disciple, and that all the medicines Li Jingjing made were instructed by Guang Mingzi.

Quanxie epilepsy pills are not sold in Tanzhou time-honored Yaofu.

Li Jingjing gave her family three bottles of 21 pills at a time. The life-saving grace last time will never be repaid, and this time she owes a big debt of gratitude.

"Feng Yazi, Xiumeizi, come and kowtow to Li Yaoshi three times with your mother." Liu Xiniang's gratitude cannot be expressed in words, but it can only be engraved in her heart forever.

After Liu Xiniang left with their children in a sedan chair, Qu Shi and He Shi opened the gift box she gave them. It was a pair of pure gold bracelets inlaid with red crystals worth a hundred taels of silver.

The compensation Liu Xiniang received from the Qu family was 30 taels of silver, and with an additional 70 taels of silver, she bought this pair of red crystal bracelets for Li Jingjing at a time-honored shop in Tanzhou.

Considering her family background, there are old and young, and she suffers from epilepsy, to give such a precious gift is a hundred times better than those ungrateful men in the world.
