Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 636 The Secret (1)
Old Zhangtou sighed, even if the situation is at its limit, century-old ginseng won't help, it just makes people gasp for a few more days and lie in bed waiting to die, it's better to just let nature take its course.

"Mr. Zhang, I really need to trouble you for a few days this time. After dawn, I will go to the capital to buy century-old ginseng, and it will take a day to come back."

Lu Jin felt overwhelmed, there was still a luminous pearl at home, which was the last treasure handed down by his ancestors, for his wife, he should pawn it off, although he was sorry for his ancestors, but what use are those dead things?
"Our lady has these, if you promise..."

Vanilla took a look around and could describe it as a house with bare walls. How could such a family afford century-old ginseng?A little better quality will cost a thousand taels of silver, what is the concept of a thousand taels of silver?Even Lu Jin's fishing boats are not worth 1000 taels, and he doesn't want to build boats, so what can he exchange for silver?Rather than agreeing to others, it is better to promise to my own lady and give him a better treatment.

Inside the house of the Lu family, the candles were brightly lit. Besides an oil lamp, there were a few red candles on the table with reliefs on them. In the Great Zhou, only the royal family of the Great Zhou could use dragon and phoenix decorations. Common people get married, peacocks, mandarin ducks instead, also have a beautiful meaning.

"Boss Lu, this is a candle. If you run out of candles, go to my house and ask your aunt for some."

After Mrs. Zhang took the pulse of Mrs. Lu Jin, he put the medicine box on the table to dispense medicine. There were all kinds of medicinal materials in the medicine box. In order to prevent it from being wet by the rain, two layers of linoleum were spread on it. Open it, and when you see Xizhu, say something kindly.

"It's not that there are no candles, it's that my wife has been dreaming recently, thinking of the day when we got married."

When Lu Jin talked about what happened that year, a tall man also had red eyes, and Qingli couldn't bear to stand beside him, holding Shen Bingyu's hand, the two of them stood in place, wanted to go out, but couldn't help but think about it. Have a look.

In ancient times, there were not many men who were so affectionate and responsible. In this era of wives and concubines, it is a very face-saving thing for a man to have a regular wife and concubines, and the backyard is harmonious. A word of admiration, enjoy the blessing of Qi people.

"Hey, big man Lu, the old man doesn't have century-old ginseng here. He only has this ginseng whiskers. You save it for your wife to boil water to drink, and it can also replenish vitality."

The old Zhangtou sighed, the body of the Lu family's lady was hollowed out, it was useless to mend it, I was afraid that the void would not be mended, now even the miracle doctor was alive, and she couldn't save her, now she just stepped into the coffin plate.

It was not easy for Lu Jin. He had no wife and no children in his middle age, and his family had no incense, so he could only be lonely. If he said, he should find someone to live with, be responsible, and have children, but this matter It's hard for him to be an outsider, but Lu Jin has an upright temper. Once his wife leaves, he will be lonely for the rest of his life.

"Mr. Zhang, it's not easy for you. This bookkeeping, I will give you money when I come back."

Lu Jin took the ginseng whiskers, turned around and went out into the kitchen, not even having time to wipe the rain off his face.Taking advantage of the time when Lu went in and out of the door, Qingli and Shen Bingyu stepped forward to look at the same time, and there was a woman in her thirties lying on the bed, her face was burnt yellow.But the facial features are very delicate, it can be seen that she was also a little beauty back then, with a petite stature, she seemed to have become skinny, curled up in the quilt.

"Hey, two ladies, go back and rest."

Old man Zhang kept sighing, Lu went into the stove to boil ginseng water, old man Zhang wanted to watch for a while, now in the middle of the night, he is not at ease, it is all because these people always come to find fault when they have nothing to do, come to the door once every three or five days, these two The young lady looks okay, but knowing people, faces, and hearts is all for a purpose.

"Miss, you can go back to sleep, don't catch the wind and cold, if you are worried, the servant will stay here for a while."

Vanilla lowered her eyes, and she didn't know why she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart after seeing the big beard. Her heart was always pounding, and she felt guilty for no reason when she saw her lady's clear eyes.

"Then you can stay here, sister Xiaoyu and I will go back first."

It was cloudy and rainy, and it was hard to see the color of the sky. Qingli estimated that in half an hour the rooster would crow, and she couldn't sleep. After going out with Shen Bingyu, they didn't go back to Zhang's house. The two got into the carriage, one on each side. snuggle.

Zhang's bed was very hard, with straw under it, and it was a bit sticky, but it was much more comfortable in the carriage, the cushion was soft, and there was a faint fragrance. The two of them lit the lamp oil and found their own comfortable positions. Listening to the sound of rain outside, silence.

After a long time, Shen Bingyu spoke first, "Sister Li, I think something is wrong with Vanilla."

"Yeah, I've seen it a long time ago, alas."

Qingli sat up straight, and took out a plate of dried fruit from the drawer under the table in the carriage. The snack was cold and hard, she didn't want to eat it, so she ate melon seeds and a few pieces of pine nut candy to pass the boring time.

Vanilla paid too much attention to Lu Jin, which surprised Qingli. Normally, Vanilla is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and very capable. She would never rush to talk, nor would she not ask her what she meant. When she looked over, Vanilla also sensed that something was wrong. , a little guilty.

"Hey, your maid is nice, okay, but you can't make someone a concubine, and besides, Xiang Cao was sent to you by the major general..."

Shen Bingyu hesitated to speak, her eyes were full of confusion, because she herself was framed by her stepmother, so she hated concubines, aunts and step-wives extremely, and always felt that these people were evil-minded and ambitious, maybe there are not many men in the world now The one who doesn't want a beautiful wife and concubine is because she can't get over that hurdle in her heart.

"Sister Xiaoyu, this is all based on my own will."

Qingli doesn't like vanilla like this, but she can't always ask others according to modern standards, this is Dazhou, if vanilla is willing, Lu Jin doesn't object, she will nod, no matter whether it's a wife or a concubine, she doesn't want to Interfere in the private life of others.

"That's right, I was thinking too much. I just hope that the man can guard his dead wife for a few years."

When her mother passed away, Shen Bingyu's father took her stepmother into the house before her bones were cold. From then on, her life became worse day by day. The younger sister conspired to steal the dowry left by her mother, and then designed to replace the marriage she had made since childhood.

Maybe this is fate, Feng Shui turns around, she must be living a very good, fulfilling and comfortable life now, although there will be one small trouble after another, but being captive to the capital, it is really amazing to be able to live such a life is already very satisfied.

"kindness."

Qingli picked up a few walnuts with pliers, half of the walnut kernels were given to Shen Bingyu, men are so fickle, don't have any hope for these men, it was a big trend for men in ancient times to have three wives and four concubines, who would defend themselves like jade for whom, it's just a joke , Going to brothels is all romantic, and men who don't like beauty will be suspected of having problems.
