Chapter 190: couple daily life
There was hot water in the kitchen, so Li Haitang cleaned her hands, then squatted down, and killed crucian carp neatly. Recently, she took the initiative to undertake the work in the kitchen, dedicated herself to making herself a good housewife.
The neighbor's family raises chickens and ducks, and their own family does not raise anything, but there are also a lot of odd jobs here. At least the weather is not sunny these days, and the clothes she washes can only be hung in the stove to dry.
While fetching water in the middle of the night, by the dim oil lamp, he saw a figure swaying and made an oolong, Li Haitang startled himself sadly.
"Someone came to the house today to send you a letter, and I accepted it for you..."
Xiao Lingchuan squatted down to light the fire, and the husband and wife were busy working in the kitchen together, and the food they made was extraordinarily delicious.
"letter?"
After tidying up the crucian carp, Li Haitang picked it up with salt and pickled it, and then fried it until it was golden brown, and then it will make a milky white soup, which is the most nourishing.
In recent days, I have often received letters from Lin Wanjiu, in which he talked about the operation of the clinic, the medicinal materials are cheap, and the cost of seeing a doctor is low. The clinic has already accumulated a good reputation in Lucheng.
I have just arrived here, and the medical clinic I opened is better than the hundred-year-old Baicaotang. The owner of Baicaotang seems very annoyed and wants to find fault, but is afraid of the power behind her.
"Was it written by Lin Wanjiu, or by Zhao Baoshan?"
Zhao Langzhong is straightforward by nature, which has its advantages but also its disadvantages. A problem can be messed up for more than ten days, and even Li Haitang has a headache when he mentions it.
In fact, she has no power behind her. Zhang Zheng personally went to cut the ribbon to create momentum for the opening of the medical clinic, and she has a good relationship with Zhang Ruyi, which played a big role.
But this is temporary. Zhang Zheng has served in Lucheng for five years and may return to Beijing to report on his duties at any time.
"Zhang Ruyi."
Xiao Lingchuan could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and took out the letter from his sleeve pocket. The envelope was dripped with wax, and there was a bright red dyed chicken feather stuck in it.
"Wishful letter!"
Li Haitang counted the days and did not communicate with Miss Zhang for a month. She was so busy that the sky was dark, and it was not too far from Lucheng, but she couldn't find time to go back.
"Husband, read it for me."
Every time Zhang Ruyi couldn't be shaken, she first complained about why she didn't return to Lucheng, and then made a long speech, either gossiping or complaining.
"it is good."
Seeing his wife frying fish, Xiao Lingchuan took the initiative to open the letter. There were a few flower petals scattered inside the envelope. Miss Zhang was simple-minded and liked to be arty. He rubbed his forehead and looked at ten lines.
"Haitang, you are too disrespectful. If you go to benefit the people in the border town, who will accompany me? Mushrooms have grown on my idle face!"
In the first sentence, the opening remark is a complaint, which is in line with Miss Zhang's usual style.
Li Haitang shook her head. She also missed Zhang Ruyi very much. Unlike Chunniang, Zhang Ruyi was her first best friend of her age.
Look, how appropriate this metaphor is, the biggest advantage of Miss Zhang is that she learns and uses it flexibly, and the metaphor is so vivid.
"After the year, Lu Erlian went back to Lushan Academy. I couldn't catch anyone, so I could only go to the small courtyard to chat with my aunt, and my aunt didn't know my identity yet."
Zhang Ruyi keeps a low profile every time she goes out. Lu's mother only knows that her family's conditions are acceptable, but she doesn't know that she is an official lady.
Years later, Zhang Ruyi was seventeen years old, and she was more concerned about her marriage, but Lu Yuanqing always avoided her, and she couldn't kill Lushan Academy.
"A few days ago, I was waiting for someone at the foot of the mountain and saw Jinhu."
Because of Li Haitang's relationship, Zhang Ruyi and Li Jinhu are acquainted, and they like to tease him when they have nothing to do. To the daughter-in-law.
Li Jinhu broke out in a cold sweat immediately, he was willing to become Brother Lu, but if he was pursued by such a fool as Miss Zhang, he would forget it.
"Husband, you continue, Ruyi meets my younger brother, then what?"
Li Haitang focused on two things, flipping the crucian carp deftly, and paying attention to the movements of the wild man.
A few days ago, my younger brother went down the mountain and had only two days to rest. He couldn’t go back and forth to the border town. He hadn’t seen each other for several months, and he missed him very much.
Li Jinhu has Sixi to take care of her, and she studies hard in the cold window, so she can't always send letters to bother her.
"I didn't catch Lu Er's idiot, but I met a... yes, little fresh meat."
Xiao Lingchuan felt that he could hardly continue reading, he wanted to tell his wife that he came to fry the fish so that she could concentrate on reading the letter.
"Haha, little fresh meat!"
This word was also said by Li Haitang unintentionally. Look at Miss Zhang, she immediately applied it to my younger brother, but, for some reason, it is somewhat weird.
"I'll take Jinhu to eat at the best restaurant in the city, and inquire about the daily life of the academy by the way."
The best restaurant in Lucheng costs at least a few tens of taels of silver for a meal, that is, Miss Zhang, a local tyrant, spends money without blinking an eye, is generous to Li Haitang, and is equally willing to be willing to her younger brother.
"I heard that there is a hot spring in the academy. On weekdays, scholars take a bath in it naked, my God!"
In Zhang Ruyi's letter, there was a sudden shock, and I really can't blame her for thinking too much. Ever since seeing the scenes of Zeng Yan and Hanshuang, her outlook on life has been strongly distorted.
She has a deep understanding. If the rival in love is a woman, if you dress up well and use your means, you will always have a chance to win back his heart, and you will be slightly better, but if the rival in love is a man, you will only lose in a mess.
"Cough cough cough cough!"
Li Haitang added tofu and water into the pot, wiped the cold sweat with his hands, and explained embarrassingly, "That...Scholar Lu doesn't look like he has a habit of breaking his sleeves."
After all, there are still a small number of people who have broken sleeves. Zhang Ruyi was unlucky before, but it doesn't mean that he is a man. There are problems in that aspect.
Xiao Lingchuan continued to read, his eyelids kept twitching, he couldn't read any more, so he handed the letter to Li Haitang, "Lady, you should do it!"
The crucian carp tofu in the pot had to be stewed for a while, Li Haitang wiped the water on his hands on the apron, and took the letter paper.
"Haitang, I seem to have done something very embarrassing."
The letter paper was completely stained with ink, which showed that Zhang Ruyi was struggling in her heart. After a while, she still spoke her mind, otherwise, she would be suffering!
Lu Yuanqing is a scholar, so he definitely doesn't like the illiterate, so Zhang Ruyi wants to read a few books, poems and essays to cultivate his sentiments.
She sneaked into the study while her father Zhang Zhifu went to the office, and found a book in the secret place of the bookshelf, which read, "Complete Poems."
Zhang Ruyi felt that her father was a Jinshi anyway, and his reading must be more profound than that of a young scholar. Anyway, she couldn't understand it, so she didn't open it.
She wrote a letter to Lu Yuanqing. The letter stated that she had devoted herself to studying poetry recently. This book is very precious. She spent a lot of money on it, so she had to lend it to Lu Erfool to read it and let him read it for a few days before returning it. return. Scholars all love books, and once they come and go, it means that there is an intersection.
