Chapter 9 Li Shaoyuan

"Baoru!" Ji Mingde called out softly behind him.

Baoru didn't look back and rushed out. When he ran home, Yang had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her to come back in the main room.

Seeing that Bao Tathagata came, Yang complained a little and handed her chopsticks and said, "Li Han was a high-ranking official back then. I heard that most of the officials invigilating the Ministry of Rites are his students. Mingde can come to his disciples, so we don't have to worry about the next year's examination.

Baoru, Mingde has a great future. If you fall into trouble in the capital and have no one to help you in Qinzhou for more than half a year, Mingde married you, so you have to calm down and live a good life with him. For 500 taels of silver, he will write lawsuits and make accounts for others over the years. The ones he saved up for each copper coin were all his savings.

Although our family is poor now, when Mingde really gets a Jinshi, he has an official position, and we will have two-deep courtyards. As long as you can stand it, okay?"

Obviously, when Baoru left the door in the evening, Yang became anxious, fearing that this delicate little wife would not be able to hold on to her loneliness and run away.

Baoru rushed to collect the bowl from Yang's hand and said sweetly: "Mom, don't worry, I am a person who has suffered a lot. I know that money is valuable and will not do anything randomly."

Yang took the bowl from Baoru's hand and pretended to be angry, but his eyebrows were full of smiles: "Just the bowl you cleaned, just like a cat washes your face. I have to wash it twice. Let's take a rest. I can wash the bowl myself."

Baoru had no choice but to go back to his room, put on the silk thread while dawn, and embroidered a colorful and bright patch, which had gradually become a prototype.

The next morning, she followed the address given by her sister-in-law and asked all the way to Chakou Hutong. There was a clean and tidy yard at the entrance of Yinghutong, and the grape shelf that was shaded by Yinghutong. The two rooms behind were cool and comfortable.

Zhao Baosong was sitting under the grape trellis drinking snow lotus wine. When he saw Bao Tathagata coming, he showed it to Bao Ru from afar: "This wine does have miraculous effects. After drinking it for two days, the joints all over my body became hot. Look, has the swelling on my hands been much gone?"

His hand joints, which were originally swollen as big as pigeon eggs, have now disappeared a lot and can serve the cup by himself. Baoru opened the box, dug a spoonful of powder and added it to the wine, and gave it to Zhao Baosong: "Brother try this again. It is said that it is powder ground from tiger bones. It is the most curative for rheumatism. You can eat it with the medicinal wine and drink it for half a month. What if you can still stand up?"

Zhao Baosong said: "This is also given by Ji Mingde?"

Baoru nodded deeply.

Zhao Baosong slapped and smiled very satisfied: "Li Shaoyuan's divorce letter arrived that day, and he followed him. You hanged yourself in the house, and your sister-in-law was negotiating with him outside. He carried a silver ingot of ten taels and one ingot, and fifty silver ingots were smashed on the table. You can tell that you have good things in your hands. As expected, my brother's illness is a must-have to help him get better."

Qingmiao smiled shyly and leaned over and said, "My sister-in-law, I want to taste it too."

This child likes to eat, and everything he eats is delicious. He is eating a sour apricot, frowning so hard that he doesn't dare to bite it with his teeth, and lick it little by little with his tongue.

Baoru took out a handful of fresh sweet almonds from his pocket, put them all into Qingmiao's pocket, stroked his ear and said, "The medicinal wine is too spicy, it is for curing diseases. You eat some almonds, and when you finish eating, my sister-in-law will bring them to you."

The green girl matures later than the ordinary child and speaks slowly. It takes a long time to wait for him to say something.

He tasted one, the fresh almonds were sweet and delicious, and the child was so happy that he kept laughing: "Okay!"

Zhao Baosong said: "It is normal for the world to fall, and the money falls and the wall falls and everyone pushes it. However, Li Shaoyuan should not break off the engagement. When Wang Dingjiang and Yin Jiye led their ministers to encircle our family, it was Li Shaoyuan who knelt outside Jiaotai Hall for a whole night. Only then did the Empress Dowager give her kindness and our family was spared from the execution of the clan.

When we returned to Qinzhou, he sent him thirty miles in a row before leaving. He was so sincere and swore that he would sort out everything and pick you up in Qinzhou. But when the tea was gone, we had just returned to Qinzhou for half a year, his letter of departure came."

After seeing each other for thirty miles, Li Shaoyuan was riding a horse with her car. The prince, who had never been worried about since childhood, told her over and over again how to prevent black shops and bandits on the road, and taught her how to make charcoal stoves with her own hands, and her face was covered in dust.

When no one saw it, he hugged her and cried in his arms, asking her over and over again what he should do if she left. Baoru was so worried that he really thought that he was leaving that Li Shaoyuan would die of lovesickness.

Unexpectedly, he was so affectionate that in just half a year, he was too lazy to send someone to send a private message. With the official document of the Ministry of Personnel, he just did the marriage.

Baoru smiled and said, "It's all the past. If you don't mention it, let's live your life forward, okay?"

Qingmiao leaned her little head, and a sweet almond was lit on the tip of her tongue. She bit it through with fine teeth, shook her head and said, "Okay!"

Baoru just glanced at his cute little nephew and his heart was about to melt. The brother and sister thought of the child who died halfway through the road, the little girl, well-behaved and smart, and even more adorable than this one. Her heart seemed to be passed by a sharp arrow, rotten and rotten.

When I returned to Ji's house, my mother-in-law made medicine and my daughter-in-law embroidered flowers, the two of them were quiet and chatting occasionally for a day.

Yang is very good at living. He cleans the inside and outside the courtyard, and the flowers in the corners of the wall are all more colorful than elsewhere.

Because Ji Mingde was not here, Baoru lived a very comfortable life. She went back to the Chakou Hutong every now and then. Zhao Baosong was able to stand slowly, rheumatism was gradually fading away, and Huang's smile also increased a lot. In short, the family was in trouble and life was slowly on the right path.

On that day, Baoru was concentrating on embroidery, and heard Yang shouting outside: "Baoru, come out quickly, are there customers at home?"

Baoru saw three pretty little beauties standing on the door of the small courtyard between the two families through the window. He quickly picked up the embroidered breath he had embroidered and hid it in the box at the corner of the house. Then he went out and smiled, "Why are sister here?"

It was Hu Lanyin. She had been waiting for nearly a month but could not wait for Baoru to pass, so she took the initiative to go to the small courtyard of the second bedroom to see Baoru.

There were two girls of fourteen or fifteen years old behind Hu Lanyin. When he saw his appearance, he knew that they were Hu Lanyin's two sisters, one wearing a white magnolia scattered gauze dress and the other wearing a green satin dress. He was only fourteen or fifteen years old. One of them had a round fan in his hand, and his eyes dripped around looking at the small west room: "I guess this is Sister Baoru!"

Baoru asked them to sit on the edge of the bed. Hu Lanyu and Hu Lanxiang looked at each other, looked at the print on the wall with two fat boys, and gave each other a teasing look. Baoru just pretended not to see it.

Several people chatted with each other for a few words, and Hu Lanyin suddenly raised her chest and retching twice, and fanned her with a fan and said, "When will it be cold this day? I feel like I'm suffering from heat, why do I feel dizzy all day long?"

Hu Lanyu said yo, "Sister, can you be pregnant!"

Hu Lanxiang also clapped her hands: "Sure enough, my brother-in-law is afraid that it will be almost one month since she left. If he comes back, he will not be happy to die of happiness?"

Hu Lanyin shook her hands angrily: "If you have no shadow, don't talk nonsense."

Hu Lanyu said: "Sister, it's better to ask a doctor to come for a consultation. What if I get pregnant?"

Hu Lanyin shook her hand and stood up, calling Baoru and said, "Baoru, let's go to the next door backyard. The room is too stuffy, so I can't breathe."

The two sisters were behind, only Hu Lanyin and Baoru, wandering around the garden full of pomegranate trees.

Hu Lanyin said, "Mingde sent a letter, saying that he was afraid he would come back in the next few days. He went out of my house. He saw that he had to go to your yard after he came. I saw that your house was really stunning. If not, I sent two workers to repair your house. You can go to our yard for two days first. Do you think it is feasible?"

Baoru said, "My mother and Mingde have to be the masters, so I don't care about it anymore."

When Hu Lanyin heard that Baoru did not object, she immediately felt dizzy and did not vomit her chest. Instead, she found Yang in person and told her that she wanted to repair the west room for Baoru and Ji Mingde.

She was a man who could lead the family for her father, Magistrate Hu, and she was very eloquent. She smiled happily with her words. She actually believed that Hu Lanyin really paid money to repair the house for Baoru because she was considerate of Ji Mingde.

After seeing off Hu Lanyin, Yang's face was swollen and purple-red. He patted Baoru and said, "It's really a great thing. Mingde is not in Qinzhou this month. Taking advantage of his spare time, Hu Lanyin has spent money to build a spacious and spacious house for you. In the future, he will not be too crowded with children.

I just feel sorry for you. There is no bed in our house anymore. From this night, you will live next door!

Is it okay to move back to live after the house is repaired?"

Bao Ruxin said that Yang was not good at all. People in the big room liked to step on her face, and she also liked to stretch her face for others to step on.

She was obviously afraid that the people in the big house would snatch her baby son away, but when Hu Lanyin proposed to repair the west room for her, she agreed without frowning. In life, if she likes to take advantage of her, she will always suffer a big loss.

From that day on, Baoru lived at Ji Bai's house next door. Hu Lanyin originally invited her to live with her, but Baoru refused and lived in the room of the eldest uncle Zhu's house.

The eldest uncle Zhu and Yang from the second wife are actually not very different. They look particularly old because they are always sick. When sitting with Ji Bai, people only regard them as mother and son, not as husband and wife. Everyone looks humble when they see everyone, and smiles softly as if they are gentle Bodhisattvas.

She smiled and grabbed Baoru's hand, took her into a row of rooms in the backyard, pointing to the soft and cold house that was paved, and asked, "My son, do you think this room is comfortable? Otherwise, I will live in this yard forever. I have no children anymore, and I would like to have someone to be my companion for a day of fun."

Baoru didn't know the woman Zhu. After all, she has not been in Qinzhou for a long time, so she only knew that she didn't even have a mother's home. She brought it back halfway when Ji Bai was doing business. She was born to be a stinger and claimed to the public that she was called a wolf bite, but in fact she should be born with a rabbit lip.

Ji Bai has had at least seven or eight concubines coming and going over the years. Now the only two are left, one with the surname Wan and the other with Fang, who are two vocal insects. He looked at Baoru on the left and right and said with a smile: "Baoru stays in our yard. How cool is this room? Mingde comes back in the future, and it is easy to take care of in and out."

Baoru smiled, obviously very embarrassed, and did not respond. Zhu sighed and said, "See, the child is going to give birth to himself. I'm not good enough. You are not good at it. Now we stare at each other, not even a child who is having fun with him.

I like Baoru the silly look the most. When I see she is a good boy, it’s a pity that her heart is facing the next door and not to us. What can I do?”

The wife and two concubines laughed at the same time, and Baoru also laughed. Since they said she was stupid, she had to pretend to be stupid.

When Baoru passed by the pomegranate garden, he ran into a man of seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a robe with a thin silk face, his face was white and clean, and he felt a little yin when he smiled, and he didn't look like a slave in this family.
