Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 42: Wish

Qin Xinfang still had a smile on his face. He said to Mrs Wan, “Then I will borrow it for a look, go back and make a copy, and then return the original.”

Mrs Wan nodded, thinking of the successor to the Li family doctor, she seemed to be full of strength, and stood up with the help of Mrs. Mei and Baolu, “Then I’ll go look for you now.”

Qin Xinfang hurriedly stopped and said, “Don’t be in a hurry, if it’s getting dark today, we’ll stay here for one night and leave tomorrow.”

Wan said with a smile: “Find it out now, you can put it away, and you will set off at dawn tomorrow. The in-laws are alone with two children. The road must be slow, but you can’t stay for long.”

Qin Xinfang blushed and stopped blocking.

Seeing this, Li Hong’s eyes darkened, and he got up to chase after him. Qin Xinfang hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile, “Brother Li, wait a moment, it is my Qin family’s offense to say this. I really shouldn’t open my mouth about my family’s craftsmanship, but I just ask Brother Li to read me with kindness. But I’m not good at taking advantage of Brother Li in vain.”

Qin Xinfang took out two pieces of silver from his pocket and put it into his hand, and said embarrassedly: “Wei brother doesn’t have much money on him, these can only be expressed as a sign, but brother Li, don’t worry, I will copy the original manuscript after copying the notes. Give back.”

Li Hong, who was about to get up, froze and sat back on the chair.

And Mrs. Wan took Mrs. Mei and Li Baolu all the way into her room. She did not avoid Mrs. Mei and pointed directly to the box on the cabinet: “Move that box down.”

Mrs. Mei helped Mrs. Wan to sit next to the bed, and stepped on the chair to get the box on the cabinet.

The box was very light, so Mr. Mei easily moved it down and put it beside Mr. Wan.

Mr. Wan took out a key from his pocket and opened the box, which was filled with books and first-base papers.

Wan picked up a booklet and said reluctantly, “This is all the pulse records and prescriptions recorded by your grandfather, because these diseases and the principles of prescribing medicines are all in the medical books, and I didn’t want to bring them with you, but you If you want to see it, take it.”

pointed to the papers again: “These are relatively scattered ones that have not been sorted out. They are all placed in order. If you are willing, you can sort them yourself when you grow up. You can also pass them on to future generations.”

Mrs Wan finally took out a letter from under the box, sighed and shoved it under the pillow, but Li Baolu had already read the words on the envelope, “My brother Li Yuan received it”.

Li Baolu hurriedly grabbed her grandmother’s hand, “Grandmother, grandfather and brothers?”

Wan Shi was slightly startled, “Are you literate?”

“Uncle Qin asked me and Brother Jingyun to study together. I can now memorize the Three Character Classic.”

“Okay, okay,” Wan rubbed her little head with relief and said, “Reading and literacy is a good thing, don’t listen to outsiders saying that a woman is virtuous if she doesn’t have talent, you have to study hard, and only the knowledge you learn will be yours. It’s your own. If nothing else, after reading and literacy, you can always read plain letters.”

Mrs Wan continued to stuff the letter under the pillow and explained, “This is your third grandfather, your grandfather’s clan brother, he is a descendant of the great house, and has the best relationship with your grandfather. This letter was written by your grandfather to declare his grievances to him. Yes, it’s just that this letter can’t be sent out for the first few years, so as not to make trouble for your third grandfather, but in the past two years, your grandfather began to hesitate whether to send it or not, which has been delayed until now.”

“Now that your grandfather is gone, it doesn’t make sense to send this letter or not, but grandma has a memory to keep.”

“Can the third grandfather wash away his grandfather’s grievances?”

“No,” Wan said, holding her hand, “it’s just to tell the family that he has never done anything harmful to medical ethics, and I hope that the family will not remove his name. But now your grandfather is dead, and your descendants have If you can’t go back, it doesn’t matter whether you are delisted or not.”

Li Baolu pulled the letter out from under the pillow, touched the yellowed envelope and said, “Grandma, give me the letter, and I will send it back when I leave Qiongzhou. People in the clan should also know that grandfather did not do those things, he is a good doctor!”

Wan’s tears fell with a ‘swoosh”, and she took Baolu into her arms and choked: “Good boy, I don’t blame your grandfather for loving you so much, and only you can understand him.”

Not everyone can understand Li Bo’s obsession. He always wanted to send this letter, but he never had the chance.

In the dead of night, she watched him take out the letter over and over again, and her heart was almost like a knife.

He always felt that he was dragging them down, so he always wanted them to have a better life, but why weren’t they dragging him down?

Wan wiped away his tears, put the letter back in the box, and said, “Your second uncle is very careless. He needs to check it again, so it’s better to put it here.”

He touched her head again and instructed: “You must be obedient and obedient in Qin’s house, study hard, and don’t waste time. You are lucky, but you should cherish it well. If your cousin doesn’t say anything, it’s your cousin. He can’t even recognize many words.”

Speaking of this, she was full of resentment, “Your second uncle is short-sighted. It was me and your grandfather who didn’t teach you well, and in the end, you suffered a few children. Fortunately, your second aunt is not confused to the end, as long as they are not bad. To the root, if you can help them in the future, help them.”

Li Baolu looked at Mrs. Mei uncomfortably. In her impression, Mrs. Mei was not very good. She was lazy when her parents were still there. Several times she also mumbled that she is a money loser, such a fool should have thrown it away sooner…

And after the death of her parents, the second aunt did not treat her well, and she didn’t even have a good face for her grandmother, so when she came back this time, she was surprised by her grandmother’s trust in the second aunt.

Wan didn’t explain it to Li Baolu, and felt that her granddaughter might not understand after explaining it, so she pulled Baolu to ask her to kneel before Mei, and said, “Kow to your second aunt, she has suffered a lot for you. ”

Li Baolu was full of doubts, but she still obediently knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Mei.

Mrs. Mei supported Li Baolu, and tears came down immediately. She covered her lips and sobbed, “As long as Baolu can remember the second aunt’s affection, it will be fine. In the future, when your brothers and sisters are in trouble, you can reach out and help.”

Mrs. Mei knew from her mother-in-law that Li Baolu had promised Gu Jingyun, and Gu Jingyun was a good citizen, so he could leave the exile, and that alone was worth her continuing to stand by Li Baolu.

Wan sighed after hearing this. Baolu was only three years old and had only learned Chinese characters for a month, but she could already recognize the characters on the envelope. She had to say that she had a good talent.

But the other children of the Li family are far worse. In the past, they could make up for it with diligence. Now Li Hong is in charge, and his short-sightedness has directly snuffed out their opportunities for diligence.

The children of the Li family have been taught to read the Three Character Classic and some catchy Tang poems since they can speak, so both Sister He and Brother Jun can read and write except for Niuniu, who is still young.

When Li Bo was there, the two children had to study for three hours a day. Without books, they would be silent.

Li Bo, Li Kang, and Li Hong are all literate, and everyone can collect a lot of books if they keep silent about what they remember. Li Bo thought that even if the children could not participate in the imperial examinations, literacy would have great benefits, and nothing else. , passed down from generation to generation, and by the third generation, they will be able to leave Sin Village to seek a living outside. If they are literate, they are more likely to find a job than if they are illiterate.

It can be said that medical books and characters are the most precious treasures he can leave to his children and grandchildren. At present, several children do not have the talent and interest in learning medicine, but as long as the children can read and write, medical books can be passed down, which is always an opportunity for children and grandchildren.

But Li Hong obviously doesn’t think so. Studying requires a lot of money. Even if he can teach his children, paper, pen and inkstone also need a lot of expenses, especially paper and ink, use a little less.

Li Hong was reluctant to spend that money, so recently Li He and his brother used wooden sticks to draw on the ground. This was under the supervision of Mr. Wan, otherwise the two children would have run out to play early.

Li Hong also liked them to go out to catch the sea or help out in the fields to do farm work.

Wan felt that it was all his fault and felt guilty.

The Li family is from the Xinglin family. Although the husband’s branch is a side branch, his medical skills have always been ahead, and sometimes even the direct branch is not as good.

There is only one point. The descendants of this branch are not prosperous. The last five generations have all been passed down in a single line. The children are either born prematurely, or even when they grow up to thirteen or fourteen years old, they will always die unexpectedly.

The Wan family gave birth to two sons to the Li family. Li Hong almost died when he was exiled. At that time, the Wan family and Li Bo thought that they would still be passed down from one generation to another. Who knew that Li Hong would survive.

That’s why the couple hurt him even more.

They broke the Li family’s single-lineage tradition, but they also lost the Li family’s talent for studying medicine.

You must know that Li Bo’s medical talent is the best no matter which generation, and Li Bo himself is even more talented, and has been slaughtering his peers in the clan since he was a child.

But neither Li Kang nor Li Hong inherited his medical talent, and expressed no interest in medicine since childhood.

In Li Jun’s generation, Li Bo took two medicinal herbs to teach him how to identify them. He learned it right away, turned around and changed two of the same ones and asked him to recognize them again, and he couldn’t recognize them.

So Wan always felt that the descendants of the Li family did not blame herself, and her husband’s talent did not say, isn’t the difference between several children because of inheriting her?

But no matter how sad she is, she has to try her best to arrange the funeral so that her husband’s mantle can be passed on.

Li Hong, she no longer counts on her, the medical book in his hands will one day be exchanged by him for money, it is better to give it to Baolu.

She took Baolu’s hand and instructed again: “Your eldest brother does not have the talent to study medicine, I am afraid that you will be defeated by your second uncle if you stay at home, you take it away, and you will transcribe it later when your eldest brother gets married and has children. Send one back to see if any of the descendants of the Li family have the talent to study medicine, and if possible, let them inherit the mantle of your grandfather.”

Wan also only has these two wishes, “Send the medical book back to the Li family, so that the descendants of the Li family can continue to pass on it; and when the descendants of the Li family encounter difficulties that cannot be overcome, reach out to help.”
