Dressed as cannon fodder, fake daughter, she worked hard

Chapter 127 Pei Luoshu

After Jiang Yan and Zhong Suyun left at Shanrentang, no one discussed what happened. Liu Langzhong sent Zhong Yi away to read a book, and a young man helped his mother to see a doctor.

Liu Langzhong said hello: "Ms. Pei is here, how are you these days?"

Aunt Pei sat down with her hands on her back and said with a smile: "It's nothing. I'm old and have problems all the time. It's Xiaoshu who insisted on me coming over to show you."

Liu Langzhong cleaned up the table: "Luo Shu is filial, you are very lucky."

"Among my sons, Xiaoshu is the only one who takes care of me, so I'm counting on him." Aunt Pei sighed bitterly, "When you marry a wife, you forget your mother. Back then, you had to know that the son you worked so hard to raise was a white-eyed wolf. , I should have bleed 'em in my belly!"

After the old man died of a sudden illness, the eldest son and the second son were in a hurry to separate the family, lest she and Xiao Shu would drag them down.

Seeing that his mother was talking about this matter again, Pei Luoshu interrupted helplessly: "My mother has been complaining of dizziness and headaches recently, nausea and can't eat, and I don't know what's wrong, please help me take a look."

After hearing this, Mrs. Pei hurriedly said, "Yes, my mouth feels bitter, and I have always felt my ears buzzing in the past few months, especially at night, like insects flying."

Liu Langzhong lifted Aunt Pei's eyelids when he heard the words, looked at her yellowish tongue coating, and asked, "Can you hear nothing?"

"Fortunately, my ears are somewhat deaf at my age."

"How do your eyes feel?"

Aunt Pei rubbed her eyes: "It seems a little bit."

"The liver yang is hyperactive." Liu Langzhong took the pen and inkstone after feeling the pulse, "I have studied in Luoshu, and I can read the characters. I'll tell you to write."

Pei Luoshu hurriedly took it, only to hear Liu Langzhong say: "Gastrodia elata, Uncaria, Shijueming, Achyranthes bidentata, Sangji... I took these medicines and boiled water to drink, and boiled three bowls into one bowl. After a few days, my mouth still tastes bitter. Add some gentian, toosendan and prunella, the ears are still buzzing, add wolfberry, raw land and root ginseng..."

Pei Luoshu hadn't touched a pen for a long time, so it was inevitable that he would be rusty. Liu Langzhong read too fast, so he was a little anxious.

Seeing him like this, Liu Lang sighed deeply, slowed down and repeated.

"Wait." Aunt Pei suddenly asked, "What did you just talk about?"

Liu Langzhong said: "Yuan ginseng, also known as black ginseng, Luo Shu knows about it."

Aunt Pei's tone was a little cautious: "Ginseng? That thing costs a lot of money, right?"

"No, mother." Pei Luo wrote the last stroke, put down the pen and looked up, "We can afford it, don't worry about it, you are responsible for taking the medicine obediently."

"It's all ginseng, not a thing." Liu Langzhong signaled Pei Luoshu to continue writing, "If it is unfavorable in the future, add yellow and Glauber's salt..."

After Pei Luoshu finished writing, Liu Langzhong said, "Luoshu hasn't held a pen for a long time."

Pei Luoshu smiled embarrassedly: "I let you see."

"If you don't practice for one day, you will know, if you don't practice for two days, your opponent will know, and if you don't practice for three days, everyone will know..." Liu Langzhong thought it was a pity, "Are you not planning to go back to school in the future?"

Pei Luoshu picked up the prescription and turned it over to make the ink on the paper dry faster: "I'm doing well in the bookstore now, I'm at ease, I have a lot of monthly money, and I can still read books."

Mainly if he goes back to school, what will his mother do?
Apart from food and drink expenses, what I earn every month happens to be medicine for my mother, so there is nothing left to save.If you continue to study, there is no monthly money, Shu Xiu is a big guy, and pens, inks, papers and inkstones need money everywhere

Hearing the words, Jiang Sheng suddenly asked: "Which bookstore, the Green Rank Bookstore?"

"Yes." Pei Luoshu looked at her, "Miss, have you seen me in the bookstore?"

Jiang Sheng nodded.

Ever since Pei Luoshu came in, Jiang Sheng felt that he looked familiar, so she remembered it.She went to the Green Rank Bookstore to buy books, and Pei Luoshu also helped to deliver them directly to the Jiangpinghou Mansion.

However, the way Pei Luoshu turned the pages of the book carefully and carefully, clearly said that he wanted to continue studying.

Just as Jiang Sheng was thinking, she listened to Mrs. Liu persuade Aunt Pei: "Ma'am, Luo Shu was a child in his teens. If he had gone to the college test, the talent would be a sure thing. It's better to have this talent than to be a clerk in a bookshop." .”

"He is only 17 years old this year, and there is still time to go back to study now." Liu Langzhong said, "I still say the same thing, if Luo Shu is willing to read, don't worry about the bundle of paper and pen, and return it to me in high school in the future."

Aunt Pei hurriedly responded: "We are grateful to you, but I also think Xiaoshu is very good like this. He can know a few words, can make a living, and when the time comes to marry a dutiful daughter-in-law, he will be at ease for the rest of his life." Really."

Her other two sons are a scholar and a scholar, and the whole family was very happy when the ranking was announced.But what's the use?Now that she is old, no one can count on her!
And when is she half buried in the yellow mud, how long will she have to wait for her youngest son to go to high school?If you don't enjoy the blessing, you will go to the ground.

Liu Langzhong didn't answer, but looked at Pei Luoshu.

Pei Luoshu whispered: "I understand what you mean, but you also know that my mother's body is supported by medicine. Let's save some money in a few years."

Liu Lang paused for a while, sighed and still did not persuade.

He also knew that Pei Luoshu didn't want to accept this kindness because he felt that he was not related to him.It's just that the kid from the Pei family can be counted as someone who grew up watching him grow up. He really can't bear to spend his life in such a mediocre way.

From the corner of his eyes, Pei Luoshu saw that the ink on the paper with the prescription written in his hand was almost dry, so he piled it up, paid the money, thanked him, and left with his mother.

Before going out, Liu Langzhong and Jiang Sheng heard Mrs. Pei whispering as she walked: "Mother is counting on you, what do your two brothers look like now? It's been a long time since you came back, don't worry about it." Don't learn from the bad."

"You want your mother to know, but mother will die when her body is not in good condition. You can still see you in the book store, and if you go to the school, you won't see you once in ten and a half months."

Pei Luoshu responded: "Don't worry, I'm your son, and I won't ignore you no matter what."

Aunt Pei patted him: "Mother is not forcing you to do anything. If you like reading books, we will buy them. You don't have to take the imperial examination. We also buy paper and pens. Mother can take less medicine."

"Mother is old, there is nothing wrong with it, so I don't need to spend so much money on these things every day..."

As the sound faded away, Liu Langzhong and Jiang Sheng looked at each other.

Liu Langzhong shook his head helplessly: "Ms. Pei's other two sons are still promising. Luo Shu is the smartest. He studied late, but he was admitted as a child at the age of 11. His wife told him to rest for two years before going to the hospital for an exam. If you take the exam in conjunction with the township exam, if you prepare enough, you might be able to get the title of Jie Yuan."

"As a result, Luo Shu's father died of a sudden illness a few years ago, and the two elder brothers took away the little remaining property of the Pei family, and they didn't care about Aunt Pei... Maybe Aunt Pei suppressed Luo Shu because of this, and didn't want him to go to school. , and there is no money at home, Luo Shu can only put down his studies and go out to find something to do."
