You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

In the evening, three young men came to see Shi Xiaoliu. They blushed and asked shyly: "Brother Xiaoliu, can you prepare a soothing decoction?"

Shi Xiaoliu went directly into the kitchen and took three packets of soothing medicine for them: "You can take them back and use them."

The three of them reached out to take the medicine bag and were about to stuff money into Shi Xiaoliu's hand, but Shi Xiaoliu refused to accept the money.

He smiled and said: "Only one medicine was bought from the drug store. Please give me ten coppers."

The three young masters looked at each other. The older one took out ten copper coins from his pocket and gave them to Shi Xiaoliu. He said to Shi Xiaoliu, "Brother Xiaoliu, we are using this for our own family."

Shi Xiaoliu nodded: "I understand."

After the three young men left, Shi Zelan saw the expression on Shi Xiaoliu's face and said with a smile: "I heard from my uncle that you still want to be a teacher in the lecture hall in the future?"

Shi Xiaoliu glanced at her: "I haven't changed my mind, what about you?"

"I can't be a master. I don't have the patience to treat everyone who asks for advice like you."

The three of them spent this night without dreaming.

Shi Zelan waited until Xiao Yingzi finished telling the story, and then she talked about the grand occasion of that day, and then slowly entered the topic.

"There is a girl from one family, no, I heard that there are girls from several families, and they usually don't get along.

"They were fine, but a child next to them broke his leg and lost his way to Qingyun Road."

Shi Zelan told Xiao Yingzi about going to the Taoist temple to help. Xiao Yingzi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can I go with you?"

One of the ladies fell down, and then..."

Xiao Yingzi looked around and whispered to Shi Zelan: "During the festival that year, there were many people going to the lake, and the carriages of wealthy families blocked the road there."

Shi Zelan agreed with her words. She was plotted against for no apparent reason, and she felt that the three of them were not lucky enough these days.

"They are all living well, very well."

Shi Zelan looked at Xiao Yingzi with his mouth shut: "This is not very lucky."

Xiao Yingzi finally told Shi Zelan the complete story: "Other ladies had their legs broken, some had their faces hurt, and some had their hands broken. The most miserable one was later disowned by her husband's family."

They met at the lake that day, and then they had an argument for some reason.

Shi Zelan pointed in the direction of her home: "You should first ask your elders for their opinions."

"I heard people say on the street that the lake over there is quiet and there are not many people."

"Xiao Lanzi, she is living well, but none of the other ladies are doing well."

"My grandma said that there used to be a lot of people visiting that lake. Since an incident happened a few years ago, people in the capital no longer like to visit that lake."

"What happened in the past few years?"

In the morning, Xiao Yingzi came over to play with Shi Zelan and said to her, "Why did you go to that lake to play?"

"I'll tell my grandma, she won't object."

Xiao Yingzi stopped, and Shi Zelan was anxious: "Is this young lady going to fall?"

Shi Zelan just smiled. She thought Aunt Liu would object to Xiao Yingzi's trip this time.

Xiao Yingzi looked at Shi Zelan: "Fortunately, your two brothers will not take the imperial examination. You three are not very lucky either."

As expected, after Aunt Liu heard what her daughter said, she immediately objected.

"Xiao Lanzi went to the Taoist temple because she had some serious business to do. If you go, you won't be able to help. You will also have to trouble Xiao Lanzi to take care of you."

"Auntie, how many medicinal herbs do I know?"

"Your mother-in-law also knows several medicinal herbs. Do I dare to tell others?"

"Why don't you dare?" "I'm afraid that people will laugh at me. There is only a layer of water in the bucket, but I want to publicize it everywhere and make the bucket full of water."

Xiao Yingzi's face suddenly turned red: "Mom, I'm not the kind of frivolous person."

"You're not. You'll just stay at home this time."

Xiao Yingzi came over to talk to Shi Zelan and told her mother-in-law what she said. After hearing this, Shi Zelan sighed: "Your mother-in-law really thinks about you."

After Xiao Yingzi left, Shi Zelan was curious about the relationship between Xia Yu and his mother: "Xia Yu, are you close to your mother-in-law?"

“We were close to each other when we were children, but now that I am older, my mother-in-law said that she has to be busy with her own affairs.

My father took me on a trip. "

"It's nice of you, my mother-in-law, to be like this. I wonder if my mother-in-law has the same temperament as your mother-in-law."

Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan for a while and whispered: "Sister Lan, your mother-in-law and my mother-in-law have absolutely different temperaments.

My mother-in-law said that your mother-in-law was treated like a treasure by her family when she was growing up. She has a much brighter temper than my mother-in-law.

When my mother-in-law was in her parents' home, everything was normal. My mother-in-law said it was a special accident that she could marry my father. "

"My grandma should be extremely beautiful, but when I look at the Lou family, I don't think their looks are particularly outstanding."

Xia Yu thought about it seriously and said to Shi Zelan: "The Lou family generally have outstanding looks. You have a prejudice against them and that's why you don't agree with their beauty."

Shi Zelan just smiled: "Perhaps my master and Lord Phoenix are both particularly outstanding people, and they have improved my aesthetic view of the people around me."

"Then what kind of person am I in your eyes?"

Xia Yu couldn't help but ask Shi Zelan, and after she looked at him, she said bluntly: "You look pretty good, at least I like you."

"What about Brother Xiao Liu?"

"My brother is naturally very good."

Although Shi Zelan rarely called Shi Xiaoliu her brother, she recognized Shi Xiaoliu as her brother in her heart.

"Chi.

One day, Master Beichen came back. I would like to hear what you think of Master Beichen. "

“Then it depends on how my relationship with his father and daughter is?
If we are close, he will naturally be in my heart in a million ways. "

"Sister Lan, are you worried that he will treat you badly?"

"Don't worry, I'm so old that I no longer need the care of my father and mother."

At night, Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu whispered: "Do you think Uncle Beichen will be kind to Sister Lan after he comes back?"

"It will be fine of course. Sister Lan is his eldest daughter."

"Xiao Liu, the fate between parents and children is also very strong."

Shi Xiaoliu was a little worried: "Xia Yu, what news have you heard about Uncle Beichen?"

"I haven't heard anything, but I know that Sister Lan's temperament is not that gentle.

She and Sister Lan have been separated for too long. If she doesn't like Sister Lan.

I'm afraid it's not that easy for Sister Lan to get close to her. "

Shi Xiaoliu's expression became serious and he said to Xia Yu, "Don't tell Sister Lan about this. Maybe after my aunt comes back, she will be very good to Sister Lan."

Xia Yu sighed softly. When his father and his uncle were chatting together, he said that judging from Sister Lan's appearance, her relationship with her mother was relatively dull. (End of chapter)
