Chapter 79: The Buyer Finally Sees the Light!
clouding over. "The court will exempt taxes and hopefully we'll make it through this year."Li Lao Si shook his head, gnashing his teeth in anger. "The main reason is those corrupt officials are afraid..."Ah!"
Li Laotai was so startled that she shuddered and instinctively hugged her granddaughter.
That young master Ye was probably used to spitting blood, he raised his head and wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on the two generations, with a hint of apology in his expression.
But Jia Yin wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she frowned, as if thinking about something.
Yechang was originally wrapping a towel, two steps to the front, helped his master lean against the kang head wall.
"Auntie, I apologize. Don't be afraid, our master's illness is not contagious."
Li Laotai felt a bit uncomfortable inside, after all, no one wants to be splashed with blood. She still brought her precious granddaughter with her.
But they are so sick, it's petty to quibble.
She hurriedly went to the end of the kang and pulled up the quilt to help Ye Shan pad it behind Ye Gongzi.
“This illness seems pretty serious. Should we call a doctor”
Yeyam's brows furrowed like a dead knot, without speaking.
Miss Ye's chest rose and fell, blood spilling from her mouth. However, her cough had lessened somewhat.
Li Laotai didn't want to stay any longer, so she said, "I'll go wash up first. Just shout if you need help."
Ye Shan quickly nodded and thanked her, while Li Laotai returned to the house, wiping herself and her granddaughter clean with a cloth. She then changed her clothes.
She was still not at ease, so she told Jiayin, "You sleep first, Grandma will go help with the little one."
Jia Yin nodded obediently, closed her eyes, but her mind was racing.
The symptoms of this neighbor, you see, she's quite familiar with them.
If she wasn't wrong, it should be a lung abscess.
In a past winter, she fell into icy river water once. After returning, she had a fever but didn't take it seriously, and eventually developed pneumonia.
The repeated coughing caused by pneumonia developed into this lung abscess.
Remember, she also coughed up blood, which scared her half to death. She thought she wouldn't live long.
But going to the hospital, being hospitalized for injections, and taking medicine home, it gets better in a month.
If you don't eat too spicy, if you have a cold or fever, it hardly has any effect.
But this is the Heavenly Martial Dynasty. With such a low level of medical care, any serious illness would be fatal.
She dug out a small plastic box kept alone in the little courtyard house, inside which were some antibiotics, all of which she had prepared for emergencies.
As a result, she didn't get sick and ran here.
Now, I'm hosting a visiting young lord at my house. And he happens to have this illness...
Do coincidences really exist, or is everything predetermined by fate
Think carefully, our family's basic needs are now met.
But expecting the eldest brother to achieve success and support the family's glory will take at least five or six more years.
These days, many families are being oppressed. What can be done about it
Not to mention the corn and potatoes in the fields, they're easy targets.
Want to take a gamble and find someone to lean on for your family
She tossed and turned, hesitated for a long time, but still got out of bed.
Inside the western room, Ye Shan was speaking with his master.
"Master, I must ride swiftly back to Kyoto and bring Dr. Zhang. Your illness this time is too severe!"
The young master's voice was hoarse, he only replied with a single sentence, "Go, be careful."
Ye Shan rushed out the door, not even seeing Jia Yin, the little chubby girl, behind it.
Under the eaves, Li Laotai was keeping company with Dongmei as they boiled medicine.
Ye Shan rode away, and Dong Mei only said a few words before she dared not leave the medicine jar.
It has to be said, she was sufficiently wary.
But she didn't expect that there was also a little girl who was about to turn one year old in the house.
Jia Yin quietly entered the west room. Under the candlelight, Ye Gongzi, who was sitting there, looked even more frail.
If not for the occasional cough, one would almost think he was dead.
Jia Yin reached out her small hand and patted his arm. Ye Gongzi slowly opened his eyes, his expression a little dazed.
A plump little girl, wearing a red dress embroidered with "longevity and good fortune".
She tilted her head slightly, a red ribbon tying back a sky-high braid that swayed gently. She seemed to be sizing him up intently, like a little adult deep in thought.
He couldn't help but gently twitch the corner of his mouth, such a cute child.
Remembering that he had just splashed blood all over her face, he felt a pang of guilt.
Fortunately, looking at her expression, the little girl doesn't seem scared.
He wanted to say something, but the little girl suddenly nodded and then extended two chubby hands.
In one hand, he held two small white objects. In the other, a five-liang silver ingot.
Young Master Ye looked a little dazed, his brow furrowed slightly, not understanding what the young girl was doing.
Besides, the Li family didn't seem particularly wealthy. How could they just casually give their child silver coins to play with
Jia Yin grew impatient, pushing the pills closer to Ye Gongzi's face.
Isn't this person insane, buying medicine with silver It's hard to understand.
After waiting for a long time, Young Master Ye still didn't move.
Jiayin was afraid that Grandma would come in, and the deal would be broken.
Then, she received the silver ingots and diligently shoved the pills into Young Master Ye's mouth.
Of course Young Master Ye can't eat it!
This thing's origins are unknown, not to mention this little girl is too weird!
He turned his head to dodge, but helplessly coughed again.
Before he could even open his mouth, Jia Yin shoved the pills inside.
A kind of indescribable bitterness, spreading in his mouth, making him want to spit it out immediately.
But the little girl brought over a cup of water, perhaps her small hand lacked strength, nearly spilling it onto the bed.
He suddenly didn't feel like vomiting anymore. What could a child under a year old possibly do to harm him, no matter what he ate
Jia Yin saw that he had drunk half a cup of water, the pills must have gone down.
She let out a long sigh, as if wiping sweat from her brow.
Ye Gongzi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth even higher, causing Jiayin to glare at him. Then, she took out that silver amulet again.
Lady Ye thought for a moment and said, "I have silver, I cannot take yours."
"Jia Yin's voice trembled with indignation, her heart filled with a thousand regrets. What kind of fool was this What medicine should be given to such a stupid person, just let him die!"
Li Laotai returned to the house and couldn't find her granddaughter, so she almost immediately came chasing after her.
Upon seeing her granddaughter indeed here, she quickly embraced her and whispered an apology to Young Master Ye.
"Excuse me, Young Master Ye, I apologize for disturbing your rest. Our little girl is quite mischievous!"
Ye Gongzi took a deep breath and slowly shook his head, smiling.
"No, she's a sweet little girl. She's still going to give me silver!"
Silver
Old Li quickly pried open her granddaughter's little hand, and sure enough, the silver amulet was still there.
She was so surprised that she burst out laughing and crying.
"Well, this is something strange! My daughter is a little money grubber, she loves gold and silver the most. When it gets into her hands, it's like going into a tiger's mouth, I can't even get it back. How is she taking the initiative to give it away now"
Miss Ye shook her head slowly, finding it amusing as well. She couldn't figure out the little girl's thoughts.
Perhaps seeing me sick, feeling sorry for me
Old Lady Li glanced at Ye Gongzi's bedside and saw a jade pendant there.
She thought she had guessed the reason, and laughed from ear to ear.
"Oh, I see. This young lady is probably eyeing your jade pendant and wants to buy it with silver."
Want to buy
Young Master Ye's eyes lit up, he looked at the little girl and finally understood.
Jia Yin couldn't help but want to shout out in triumph, the buyer finally came around!
Since she took her medicine, of course silver is owed!
Who in their right mind would send medicine and silver That's just being ridiculous!
She was afraid that Master Ye would slip up and tell Grandma about her mischief.
Then, she quickly let out a hiccup and hugged her grandmother tightly. now on, you are not only the granddaughter of the Li family, but also the eldest lady of the Xinting Hou Mansion."Jiayin didn't know what this jade pendant represented, but she instinctively guessed...
