Chapter 20: A good wife is worth ten thousand yuan

The poem says:

It's nice to be at home every day, but it's always difficult to go out.

A virtuous wife is worth ten thousand yuan, and a wanderer will return the home after three years.

Speaking of Li Deren, he has been out seeking medical advice for three years as ordered by his master. This time he took over the imperial list and quelled the plague in the palace. He wandered around the capital for a few more days, outsmarted the traitor Wang Baobao, and exposed the treacherous villain.

The truth about Luo Huaide

, the marriage between Princess Zi Yan and Kong Fanxing was fulfilled, the three years agreed with the master had come, and there was nothing to do in the capital, so I carried the medicine box and walked all the way through the streets, looking for doctors.

For consultation, he went home.

In the previous book, Qianshan Myths, we have already explained Li Deren’s life experience. Li Deren is a native of Niuquan Village, Liangxiang County. It is 50 miles away from Youzhou City to the west. At that time, it was not like now, and everything depends on people.

Walking on two legs and doing nothing, it would take a 20-year-old boy like Li Deren three days to return home from the capital, not to mention that Li Deren had to seek medical advice while walking.

It was already late on the first day when I left the city. I treated two more patients on the way and walked to Marco Polo Bridge. At that time, the Yongding River was still called Wuding River. The water flowed under the bridge and there were few people on the bridge. Wanping City was even more crowded.

There was total silence, it was already getting late, and I was going to find a family to stay at.

After walking for a long time and still not eating anything, Li Deren's stomach started to growl, so he quickly sat down in a small restaurant on the street, ordered two large bowls of noodles, and started eating while sitting there.

stand up.

There were two people talking next to each other, and a fat man said, "Brother, have you heard? This time, Master Luo, the prefect, is in bad luck."

The thin man spoke, "I'm talking about Sun San'er, you and Guan Fu are usually close to each other. Only you know these things. How did Mr. Luo get so unlucky?"

Sun San'er said, "Second brother Han, Mr. Luo is extremely happy this time. His nephew Luo Binghui was admitted to the first place, and was recruited by the emperor as his son-in-law. He was about to marry the princess after three days of boasting in the capital. Who knew?

On the last day of the official praise, I don’t know where such a young man came from. Not only did he beat me

He became the entourage of the number one scholar, and it is said that he also upset the dream of the number one scholar. The emperor issued an order and canceled his promise to recruit him as his consort, and demoted him to a seventh-grade county. As a result, Lord Luo, the prefect, was also punished.

After being implicated, he was re-assigned to Liangxiang County as magistrate. There are really many wonders in this world."

The second brother Han said, "My third brother, Mr. Luo is a good official. I think he was the magistrate of Liangxiang County when he was promoted to an official. I think it was because he loved the people as his sons that we were all listed on the Wanminzhe."

, the Emperor of Daliao Kingdom rewarded him with being promoted to the prefect of Daxing, why has he been so unlucky again after just two years?"

Sun San'er said, "This time it's because the emperor only cares about Mr. Luo, otherwise his unlucky nephew would be slaughtered. Think about it, you are already engaged, and you agreed to the emperor's recruitment as the prince's consort."

, this matter is a lie.

It is a crime to say that the emperor of our Daliao Kingdom is really magnanimous. This would have been a crime for all dynasties. If the emperor had not looked at Mr. Luo's face and loved talents, how could he have done it?

Is it enough to be demoted and sent out to the capital?"

The shopkeeper of the hotel walked up to the two people and said to them with a smile, "Boy, do you know which girl this Young Master Luo's first wife is from?"

Han Er and Sun San'er both looked directly at the shopkeeper. Sun San'er said, "Do you know the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper smiled at the two of them and said a bit coquettishly, "You two really asked the right people. I really know the details of their matter."

Han Er looked at the shopkeeper in surprise and said, "Shopkeeper, what is going on?"

When the shopkeeper saw that it was already so late and no one came into the small restaurant, he smiled and said to the two of them, "Anyway, there are not many customers coming now, so I will talk to you about this matter."

"

Han Er and Sun Saner put on their chopsticks and stopped drinking and eating. They listened attentively to the shopkeeper telling them the ins and outs of the matter.

The shopkeeper said, "The person that Luo Huaide, the number one scholar, is engaged to be engaged to is none other than my eldest niece. Do you know who the owner of this restaurant is? It is owned by Gao Fuqiang, a well-known wealthy businessman in Liangxiang County. I

They are his distant uncles and brothers, so they let me be the shopkeeper of this restaurant."

Sun San'er asked curiously, "Then this time your eldest niece has become the number one scholar. With Luo Huaide acting like this, can your Gao family let it go easily?"

Shopkeeper Gao said, "This guy Luo Huaide is a chicken and egg. After hearing about this, my eldest niece has already severed ties with the Luo family. In fact, she will not marry this ungrateful person."

"

The second brother Han asked Shopkeeper Gao, "Shopkeeper Gao, there is no fire in the paper. Your Miss Gao will no longer marry Luo Huaide. Who will dare to marry her after such a thing? This life will be delayed."

?”

Shopkeeper Gao said, "You may not know that there was a plague in Liangxiang County three years ago. At that time, our eldest lady also fell ill, and a young doctor rescued him from the gate of hell. Moreover, our Gao family and

The Li family also has business dealings, so this time my eldest brother has made up his mind and asked a matchmaker to go to the Li family in Niuquan Village to propose marriage."

Sun San'er didn't understand, and asked the shopkeeper, "High-end shopkeeper, I remember that when I was trying to save my life, I didn't even go to someone else to propose marriage. Now that something like this happened, if I go to someone else to propose marriage, will they be able to marry your lady?"

"

Shopkeeper Gao said, "You two don't know this. Do you know who revealed the truth about Luo Huaide? It was the young doctor who saved the eldest lady back then. If he didn't have any interest in our eldest lady,

I mean, how could he be such a big help to our Gao family? Now our young lady has no choice but to marry him. Doesn’t this mean that the husband loves the concubine?"

Li Deren, who was eating noodles, heard the conversation between the three people, but couldn't eat anything anymore. He took out a few big bucks from his pocket, put them on the table, opened the door and left the restaurant.

Li Deren was in such a complicated mood at this time. He didn't want to do anything now. He just wanted to go home. Lugou Bridge was 40 miles away from Niuquan Village. Li Deren took a sip of Dantian Qi, performed Qinggong, and rushed towards Niuquan Village.

It took more than three hours to move forward like flying in my hometown. When the rooster crows for the first time, we have arrived outside Niuzhen Village.

Facing the small village that he had not returned to for three years, the place where he was born and raised, Li Deren saw that everything was familiar. Because he had that thing in his mind, he did not bother to look at the familiar things around him and walked straight to the east courtyard. When he came to the front door of his house, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door knocker.

After a while, I heard the door creaking open, and standing inside was a young woman with a bun on her head and a green coat. She looked so clean and neat, and she was only in her 20s.

Li Deren didn't look at it, but he was very excited when he saw it. It was his second wife, Wang Sangu.

When Sangu Wang saw it was Li Deren, she was also extremely surprised, "Ms. sir, why did you come back in the middle of the night?"

Li Deren said to Third Aunt Wang, "Third Aunt, let's go into the house quickly and talk."

The two people walked in together. At this time, the lights in the main room were also lit, and a beautiful young woman came out of the house. She was wearing a blue cloth and white floral dress. She stood on the steps and said to the two of them, " Sister, who did you bring back? Hei Jing midnight."

Aunt Wang San said slowly and softly, "Sister, our husband-in-law is back."

Li Deren's wife, Li Mingjuan, also walked up to Li Deren in three steps and said to him in surprise, "Ms. sir, come in quickly and talk. I haven't seen you in three years. I see you have grown taller again."

The three people entered the main room and took their seats respectively. Li Deren said to Li Mingjuan, "Fifth sister, I just came back from the capital. How are you all? How is your mother?"

Li Mingjuan said to Li Deren, "Since my father came back from the palace, our house has been lively. Relatives and friends have come to congratulate me. My mother is also happy. She is cheerful every day and nothing has happened. You came back just in time. Yesterday, Liangxiang County Gaofu sent a Geng Tie, and specially sent people to come to propose marriage. It is said that the eldest lady of Gaofu is wrong and you will not marry me. My father has already told me the reason. My mother-in-law is a little unhappy. Tomorrow morning you will You have to tell mother the truth, otherwise it will be enough for you to drink a pot."

Sangu Wang smiled and said to Li Deren, "Ms., I haven't seen you in the past three years, but you have become more capable. I heard that you revealed the imperial list, entered the palace, and treated the princess, and made your master return to the palace in glory." When you get home, you also incurred a lot of romantic debts. Before you even get home, the marriage proposal message came. With our sisters waiting for you at home, do you still have to go to Longwangshu?"

Li Deren knew that Third Aunt Wang was joking with him, "Third Aunt, you are the most naughty."

, things have become like this, you still have time to joke with me. I only heard about this when I left the city. I originally wanted to go all the way back to see a doctor. If I know about this, my mother will be angry. , so I drove all night and arrived home in the middle of the night. Instead of comforting me properly, he still made fun of me. We haven’t seen each other in three years. It’s really not interesting.”

Li Mingjuan said reasonably, "Mr., my sister is also happy to see you. It's a joke between husband and wife. What's the big deal? It's you who ran away in the middle of the night. Go and rest for a while. Tomorrow morning I still have to pay my respects to my mother. How do you pass this test? Sister, take him to your room. I see that my husband is very tired. You need to nurse him back quickly. Otherwise, how will he be seen in this state tomorrow? Where is my mother-in-law?"

Aunt Wang Sangu nodded and took Li Deren to the east wing. While letting him sit down, she said to him, "You, you really don't know how to cherish your body. After running for so long, look at how tired you are."

Now, sit here and meditate, and let me help you."

After saying that, Sangu Wang also sat behind Li Deren, stretched out her two hands and placed them on his back, mobilized the energy of her body, and penetrated directly into Li Deren's heart through her palms. Suddenly, a warm current flowed throughout Li Deren's body.

, In this warm experience, Li Deren closed his eyes and fell asleep quietly.

When Li Deren opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the second day. Li Deren looked at Aunt Wang beside him, who was still sleeping deeply, and then tiptoed out of the door. A breath of fresh air hit his nostrils.

The place where he was raised made him feel so comfortable.

As usual, Li Deren walked to the front yard and knocked gently on the door. Hearing the sound inside, he opened the door and entered the room. He saw his mother, Mrs. Liu, already sitting on the imperial chair.

Li Deren picked up his clothes and quickly knelt in front of the old man, kowtowed to his mother, and then said, "My dear mother, my unfilial son Li Deren pays my respects to my mother."

Mrs. Liu stepped forward and pulled her son up from the ground, dusted the dirt off his body, and said lovingly to her son, "I heard a noise in the middle of the night yesterday. You must be very tired when you come back so late, right? Yesterday, I heard some noise."

How was your night's rest? I don't have anything big to do here, so I'd better go to your second wife's room to say hello. She's been thinking about you too. If anything happens, we two will be chatting when you come back."

Li Deren bowed to his mother again, and then said, "Mother, I will go to Er Niang's room to say hello to her first, and then I will talk to you when I come back."

Mrs. Liu said kindly, "Go quickly. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it when we come back."

Li Deren followed his mother's request and walked out of the east courtyard to the west courtyard. He walked to the door and knocked softly. He entered the room after hearing Mrs. Wang's call. When he entered the room, he quickly lifted up his clothes, knelt down, and rushed

He kowtowed to Mrs. Wang, and while kowtowing, he said, "Secretary mother-in-law, my unfilial son, Li Deren pays his respects to you, old man."

After Mrs. Wang pulled Li Deren up from the ground, she hugged him, shedding tears with excitement, and said softly to him, "My son, we haven't seen each other for three years now, and we miss each other so much."

, sit down quickly."

Li Deren sat next to him and said to Mrs. Wang, "Er Niang, how is my brother? Are you in good health too?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said to him, "My health is very good. Your second brother has also been out for a year, traveling around with his master. I don't know what is going on now. Between you two, one is studying medicine and the other is practicing martial arts.

It's all difficult because of the teacher's orders, and it's just hard for us two old widows. None of our two lively sons are around. Fortunately, these three wives are here, and there are several grandchildren surrounding us. Otherwise, this would not be possible.

How do you live your life?"

Li Deren said to Mrs. Wang, "Second mother, don't worry, our brothers have perfected their skills and will be with you every day from now on. Are you satisfied with these wives?"

Mrs. Wang said happily, "These three daughters-in-law are nothing to say. Each one is more virtuous than the other. That's why you two brothers are able to navigate the world safely. It all depends on these three daughters-in-law. It can be said that

A good wife is worth ten thousand yuan. You came here so early in the morning. Go back and talk to your mother quickly. He must have a lot to say to you. We will talk to you when we have time."

It’s true: Even if you have thousands of hectares of fertile land, it’s better to have a good wife at home.
