Chapter 105 The Prince’s Betrothal Gift

The mountains at the bay are still green in winter.

Palms and plantains all over the mountain grow all the way down the hillside, and then there is the blue sea.

A few seagulls hovered in the low gray sky, making a crisp "oooo" sound.

I sat on the rock and looked down the mountain until my eyes hurt, then I stood up and went back to sit next to my mother's tombstone.

There are few people here, and in the quiet place you can only hear the chirping of insects, birds and the sound of the sea.

After a while, the melodious bells in the temple halfway up the mountain also rang, making it even more peaceful and peaceful.

"Mom, don't be bored. I think it's not bad here. It's relaxing and comfortable." I poured a pot of plum wine into the soil and murmured.

When I came here every day, it was the first time I spoke. As soon as I spoke, I realized that I was still full of grievances. I suddenly felt that my mother's place was the most intimate place, and that home down the mountain made me feel like an outsider.

My mother has been very capable in her life.

I used to have endless worries, but when I was in Yangzhou, there were many people at home, so I wasn't tired.

After fleeing here, there are only a few servants left, and most of them are not very effective.

When the medical clinic first opened, it was almost my mother who supported it all by herself.

Although there are more than a dozen people in the family, no one understands pharmacology. She is not careless in asking for diagnosis, prescribing, and dispensing medicines. Therefore, my mother is busy from morning to night and cannot take a moment to relax.

Once, Aunt Xue confused Mugwort and Chenhao. If my mother hadn't paid attention, the patient's condition would have worsened instead of getting better after taking the medicine. Wasn't she going to ruin the Lin family's brand name?
My mother scolded Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue also blamed herself endlessly. When my mother went back to the house to take a nap, she knelt in the yard and thought about her past...

So everyone later reported everything to my mother, who had to check everything in order not to make any more mistakes.

That's all. In order to make more money, my mother went to a wealthy family for a few days to see a doctor. She was not in good health to begin with, but she still managed to hold on. When she came back, she didn't feel well...

any idea?Those who can do more work, others can’t do it even if they want to, and they can’t help even if they want to.

A family is inseparable from its wife. If it weren’t for her, where would the family be today?
You Ting said this, Yun Xian said it, Fat Auntie said it, Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao said it... Aunt Xue, of course, also said it.

They were grateful, but it was of no use, their lives were gone.

When my mother was seriously ill, she taught her two aunts the prescriptions for common diseases. Aunt Xue learned the medicine very quickly after being exposed to it for a long time. After my mother left, she could still run the medical clinic.

I believe that with Aunt Xue's temperament, she must have read a lot of medical books in the past few months, and she must have gained some medical skills over time.

But medical science is as vast as the sea, and the slightest difference can be thousands of miles away. Just ordinary diseases require a lot of effort and energy. In less than half a year, how can "hair loss" be cured?
The villagers here put off illness as long as they can, and only seek medical treatment when they can't bear it. Who cares about losing two more hairs?

As for Aunt Xue, who has thick hair on her temples and is as black and shiny as crow feathers, she has no such worries. Why would she bother to study this kind of folk remedy?

As far as I know, hair loss occurs in people with blood heat and wind-dryness, qi stagnation and blood stasis, deficiency of both qi and blood, and liver and kidney deficiency... Once upon a time, I occasionally looked through my mother's medical books and saw that This disease is so complicated and troublesome that you can't even look at it and just flip through it in a hurry, let alone prescribe the right medicine?
Therefore, it is impossible to easily solve this disease without years of study.Before I went up the mountain, I saw her treating people in the medical clinic. She was very skillful in seeing, hearing and asking questions... She knew medical science!

She really didn't do anything, and she just wanted to do nothing!
Although he obviously possesses medical skills, he is unwilling to help my mother share the burden. He watches helplessly as my mother drags her sick body around and works so hard that the medicine becomes ineffective and the lamp runs dry.

I said, she is such a high-spirited woman with [-] scheming thoughts. Even if she died, she would not forget to be careful. How could she obey my mother's orders honestly?How can I get along well with my mother?

A good woman like my mother doesn't even know how to act coquettishly. She's willing to suffer the consequences of being respected and supported by everyone, and she won't say a word about her hardships and difficulties until her death.

Lu Xun harmed Guan Yu, slandered his ministers and killed them without any blood. He was killed for praise!

I stretched out my hand to touch the green tombstone, gritting my teeth until it hurt, but I still couldn't let go of the grief and anger I felt.

But I went down the mountain as usual.

Because it was a cloudy day, the light inside the house was dim, and there was not even any decent furniture, so it looked really shabby.

I whispered to Yunxian to light the candle. Yunxian's voice was still cheerful and loud, and she did not notice that I was in a bad mood: "It's still early, so don't light it. Our life can't be compared with the past..."

"After ordering it, go and invite the master and Aunt Xue over." I interrupted her and said coldly.

Yunxian has a carefree temper, and I usually don't care about gossiping. This time when he saw my serious voice, he hurriedly lit the lamp and ran out again.

As soon as my father entered the door, he saw the burning candle lamp. He walked forward with a straight face, raised his mouth slightly, and blew it out with a "whoosh". I couldn't help but chuckle.

The carefree god who never did anything was brought back to the human world by a woman...and there was such a lively atmosphere!
He turned around quickly and looked me up and down in surprise and annoyance: "What are you laughing at? You light a lamp in broad daylight and don't know how to be thrifty! Your Aunt Xue is so tired from seeing a doctor that her back aches, and your father only drinks old tea now, you This squeamish temper needs to be curbed."

Aunt Xue looked at me deeply and said to my father: "Isn't it a gloomy day today? The eldest lady invited us to discuss things. Why don't you worry that the master looks gloomy? The eldest lady's temperament has become much calmer, so don't blame me all the time. Child, huh?"

My father coughed twice and said nothing more. He turned around and sat down on the chair, and said slowly: "Mrs. Sun will celebrate her birthday the day after tomorrow and invites you and Aunt Xue and Aunt Jin to come over. In the past two days, you should prepare and dress." Don't be so plain. There are some jewelry in your mother's house. You can choose a few to dress up. Although our family is in decline, we don't want to be shabby when we go to other people's houses."

If a man's heart is grasped by someone, it is really terrible, and he will become another person in his life.

"Of course it can't be shabby. At least our family can light candles whenever we want from now on." I said.

I gave him two high-fives, and Xing'er walked in with a big box in his arms, walked straight to the hall, put the box on the table next to my father, and then opened it.

My father, who was sitting, stood up as if frightened and stared at the contents of the box with wide eyes.

In fact, my father has seen good things, but he has been in trouble for a long time and was temporarily fascinated by these treasures.

Aunt Xue also stepped forward to take a look. She was also shocked. She lost her composure and looked happy.

No wonder, this box of pearls and jade jewelry was bought by the Italian prince from the Arabs. Those colorful gems and pearls are invisible to ordinary people.

"This is the betrothal gift given to our Lin family by Prince Yi," I said.
