Chapter 118(1/2)

Zhao Changqing didn't know that his parents were considering marriage for him. Ling Er's uncle brought Ling Teng to give him a New Year gift. The Zhao brothers and sisters naturally had to come to see his uncle.

Uncle Ling smiled, "I haven't seen each other for a few days, Changqing Arong is getting more and more arrogant, and Aning Ayu has grown taller."

"Ateng is also more promising." Ling asked with a smile, "How did Ateng take the exam this year?"

This question is unnecessary. As soon as you see the smile of Ling Erwei, you will know that Ling Teng is not good at the exam. Ling Teng was quite calm and said, "I was lucky enough to get an excellent grade." He has always been excellent, and has a steady mind and has not lost his composure because of this.

Ling was also happy and said with a smile, "What is luck? You have been reading books for a year, and you are really talented and knowledgeable."

Ling Teng smiled, "My aunt saw that I was good at everything, but she praised me so much that my face turned red."

Ling smiled, "No need to praise you, you are all good."

Ling Teng asked, "How is Aning's exam in the next year?"

Zhao Changning said with his little breasts shyly, "I dare not compete with my cousin, I won the reward of ten taels of silver."

Ling Teng praised, "It has improved compared to last year. There are one out of ten students in the school who can get rewards." He praised Zhao Changning for a few words and asked Zhao Changning's homework. Zhao Changning answered, and Ling Teng said to Ling, "Aning has a solid foundation."

Ling smiled naturally, "He just needs to think with his heart."

Zhao Changning said, "I work hard to do everything, study hard to learn, and practice martial arts more attentively."

Everyone joked for a while, and Ling Teng looked at Zhao Changqing and smiled, "My sister's complexion is so great."

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm already very happy if I'm worried about it."

Ling Teng said, "I know you have been in great peace for a long time, but this is not a different matter. Even after the Great Health, you have to take care of yourself for a few months before you can regain your vitality. This winter, I got a few pots of plum blossoms. I thought that my sister is someone who likes to grow flowers and grass. It's cold, and you girls can't go out of the house, so I brought two pots for you to enjoy."

Zhao Rong blurted out and said, "I'm going to send New Year gifts, but I'm here to send flowers to my sister." Zhao Changqing has never liked plum blossoms. Zhao Changqing liked the vulgar roses and the fragrant daffodils. I always liked plum blossoms, Gao Jie, Zhao Rong, although she smiled on her face and wanted to call Ling Teng to fulfill her wish, Zhao Rong's heart was still sour.

Ling Teng laughed quietly, "The second is to send New Year gifts, mainly to greet the old lady, aunt and uncle, and to visit my cousin. I heard that Sister Rong has plum blossoms in her house, and Sister Qing's house is full of daffodils, which is a little cleaner. Besides, Sister Qing has been sick this year and needs to recuperate. Looking at the flowers and plants, it can relieve boredom."

Zhao Rong quickly smiled, "I'll just joke that my cousin has done this again, it's really more and more verbose."

Ling Teng smiled and stopped talking.

The little maid Xiang'er reported back and forth where the flowers were placed. Ling smiled and said to Zhao Changqing, "Okay, since your cousin gave you, Changqing will go and see how to place the flowers."

Uncle Ling smiled, "Ateng will go with you, and tell your sister how to raise this flower." He said to Ling again, "The flowers in winter are particularly delicate. The third sister in the family wants to raise them, and she has broken a pot of it. Asteng is so angry."

If you don’t understand what Ling Er uncle meant at this time, it would be a dead person. Ling turned to ask Ling Sanjie, "What are the third sisters busy at home? Now she is a big girl, so she doesn’t come out too much." Among the few nieces, because Ling Sanjie is sweet-mouthed, Ling's favorite in the past. Later, Ling Sanjie and Zhao Changqing were dissatisfied several times, and Ling's heart became weak. Even Ling Teng came to pay his respects every month, and Ling Sanjie didn’t come together.

Ling Erwei smiled, "Now she is too old. With her help in the family, your sister-in-law can save you more easily."

The brother and sister talked about the scriptures of their children.

Zhao Changqing felt that she had really let go of the matter between Ling Teng and Zhao Rong in her previous life. This felt strange and despicable. However, she felt that Chu Yu was much better than Ling Teng. With an excellent boy like Chu Yu, she was so obsessed with her. Even though she knew that she was not worthy of Chu Yu, she treated Ling Teng calmly as if she was an ordinary person.

Listening to Ling Teng's talk about how to take care of the plum blossoms, Zhao Changqing responded with a smile, looked at Ling Teng's eyes without any slight waves, and thanked Ling Teng politely. The two of them talked for a while, played a chess game, and after lunch at noon, the father and son of the Ling family said goodbye. In the afternoon, Zhao Changqing moved the plum blossoms that Ling Teng gave to the old lady's house. Zhao Changqing smiled, "Cousin is kind to give me, but there are no flowers and trees in my house? Grandma's place is spacious, and people often come to talk, put two pots of bright red, and it is also festive for the New Year."

Since he was a filial daughter, the old lady had no reason to refuse.

Zhao Rong held her breath and said, "After all my cousin brought me here to deliver it to my sister, and my sister would respect her grandmother if she didn't keep a batter. She is so pious." If she really cared about her, she could not cherish her, so how could she give her to others at will? I didn't expect Zhao Changqing to become so cold-hearted!

Zhao Changqing smiled faintly, "It's just two pots of flowers."

Zhao Rong finally stopped talking.

When the Ling family father and son returned home, Mrs. Ling smiled and said, "You are too real, you are drunk."

Sister Ling San had sent her maid to get the sobering soup and said, "Fortunately, I have prepared it early in the morning. Dad and Aseng both drank two bowls each before going to bed."

Ling Teng smiled, "I have already drunk sober soup at my aunt's house. I only drank two cups and didn't feel drunk." His face turned red when he was drunk.

Uncle Ling smiled and said, "It's not outside, so what's the point of drinking a few more cups. My sister's wine is very good. My brother-in-law and I may have not drunk alcohol for a long time. Aning did a good exam this year and got a ten-two reward in school. The children all have a promising future, and as they talk, they will have too much wine."

Mrs. Ling Er heard it one by one and said to Ling Teng, "Ateng, your classmates in school gave you gifts for some years. It's really a coincidence that you were born to be a father and son at home. I am a wife and I can't keep it. The child said goodbye after drinking a cup of tea."

Ling Teng hurriedly asked, "Who is it?"

"It was the one you sent him the last time." Mrs. Ling Er said, "The surname is Lin, who is tall, thin, white and clean, looks two or three years older than you."

"It's Lin Hao." Ling Teng said, "He was not very wealthy at home, so my mother shouldn't have taken his things."

Mrs. Ling Er sighed, "He has sent it all, what can I do if I don't take it? It's not good to ask him to look good. Otherwise, we can back up things and have come and go, which is a common practice." Although Mrs. Ling Er is a person, she has always been very polite to her son's classmates and friends. Mrs. Lin Hao knew that the second wife of Lin Hao was a widow, who lived a life of one or two hundred acres of thin fields, and she still lived a normal life. Lin Hao was very talented in studying and was in school every year. His widow's mother got an acute illness a few days ago and wanted to drink ginseng soup. She spent all the money she saved at home. Lin Hao was so anxious that she wanted to sell the land. After Ling Teng knew about it, she bought two ginseng trees from her house to give it to him. When Mrs. Ling Er knew about it, she said nothing, but she didn't say anything.

Speaking of Lin Hao, Ling Teng's heart moved and slapped his forehead and said, "Why did I forget this? Mom, I'll go to my aunt's house again."

Mrs. Ling Er hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do when you just came back?"

The little maid was bringing the sober soup. Ling Teng took a bowl and poured it down one by one. He frowned and said, "Why did you forget it? I heard that Sister Qing's husband is very skilled in medical skills, and even her old lady's knee disease has been cured. Saving people is always a matter of accumulation of virtue. Although Mr. Su is not a doctor, if it is cheap, please ask her to take a pulse for Mrs. Lin. If it can be cured, wouldn't it be a great thing? It's not in vain to have a classmate Lin Hao. I'll ask my aunt to make up the matter earlier."

Mrs. Ling Er stopped him and said, "Drinking like this today, you can rest at home honestly, don't run around and get caught in the wind. Mrs. Lin is not sick for one day or two days, it's not too late to go to your aunt's house to ask for help tomorrow."

Ling Teng said, "Tomorrow I have made an appointment with my classmates to go to the clan school teacher's house. Where can I get free? I will go back now." As he said that, he put on a thick cloak, went out and called the servant and ran away.

Mrs. Ling Er sighed, "I don't know who to follow, why are you so stupid and enthusiastic."

Ling Erwei laughed, "It's a matter of accumulating virtue to save people. He is willing to do it, so just ask him to go. Is it a nerd who always stays at home and is unattended?"

Mrs. Ling Er said, "There is no need to be so real."

Ling Er's uncle smiled and did not argue with his wife. His family was not a wealthy family, so they had fewer relationships, and fewer places could help his son in the future. If classmates had better dates, they would have great use. People were more enthusiastic and did not suffer any loss.

Ling Teng returned and scared Ling. Hearing Ling Teng explain the reason, Ling Teng wiped his sweat with a veil and said, "What a big deal, what's the matter? If you run away with such a strong wind, what should you do if you blow the wind?"

Ling Teng was not used to being taken care of as a child like this. However, Ling's wife has always been close to him and cared for him. Ling Teng smiled gently, "I had this idea long ago, and I forgot about the useless things that have been busy all the time. Although it is not our business, my classmate is really a filial person. It is very difficult for his mother to pull him up, so he took the liberty to ask Mr. Su."

Ling smiled, "I'm asking Mr. Su to come over and let's discuss it. After all, Mr. Su is not a specialist doctor. You are kind-hearted and you have to listen to Mr. Su's meaning."

"What my aunt said."

Mr. Su had no objection, but said, "There is no disease in the world that must be cured. I can only help you see if you can and how to treat it. Now I can't guarantee it."

Ling Teng hurriedly said, "Ling Teng is grateful for his ability to treat him. When will he have time, I will pick him up."

Mr. Su smiled, "I am just working on Changqing's schoolwork now. Now she has no time to study. I have time. You can arrange your classmates and pick me up again."

Ling Teng thanked again.

What is Mr. Su's medical skills? Ling Teng is naturally unable to judge. However, after taking the pulse, Mr. Su prescribed a cheap prescription, which made Mrs. Lin look very worried. Seeing this, Mr. Su said, "The medicines in the world are all in their own position, not in the high and low. Let your mother take them for three days first. If they don't work, come to me again."

Lin Hao hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sir."

Mrs. Lin coughed lightly and said to Mr. Su with a smile, "This child is stupid in studying and always feels that ginseng is a good medicine. After drinking these ginseng soups, I picked up my life back. But I felt even more uncomfortable and it would be better to die."

Lin Hao said anxiously, "Mom, don't say that."

Mr. Su said, "Madam, you are just overworked and you suddenly have an outbreak of illness. The prescription for illness seems to be a little worse, and there are no chronic diseases in your body. As long as you relax and take care of it slowly, you will still have decades of life. Seeing that Mr. Lin is at the age of school, you are not comfortable to be relieved and recuperate, Mr. Lin is worried. Mr. Lin is more worried about your mother's illness, and your mother is worried that you will be distracted and delayed due to her illness. Take advantage of the year to get pregnant." He said to Mr. Lin again, "The doctor has written all the instructions on your mother's diet. Please be more careful."

Both the Lin family and the son agreed.

Mr. Su prescribed medicine for three days. After the third day, Lin Hao went to Ling's house again and thanked Ling Teng happily, "What a miracle doctor! My mother's complexion has improved a lot and she coughed less severely at night. Brother Ling, if it is cheap, can she take me to visit Dr. Su tomorrow? I want to ask Dr. Su to go and see my mother again!"

Ling Teng was also happy for him and laughed, "What's the difficulty? You come to my house tomorrow morning and we will invite Mr. Su together."

Lin Hao agreed happily, and after returning home, Lin’s mother asked, “Did Mr. Ling agree?”

Lin Hao smiled, "The gentleman recommended by Brother Ling has always been thorough in his actions and must be a helping hand to the end."

Lin's mother smiled and sighed, "Young Master Ling is such a good character. He really cares about us, so he recommended Mr. Su. Although he is a woman, he has such a brilliant medical skill. Although our family is poor, we should prepare some simple gifts to thank Mr. Su."

Lin Hao smiled, "I'm ready, so don't worry, my mother. Although it's some earthy things, it's our will."

Lin's mother asked what to prepare. Lin Hao said a few things. Lin's mother called Tian Yi Er and sighed, "Mr. Su is not a doctor, but a teacher at the restaurant. I think the family is not rich. It's a pity that the money in the family was completely ruined by my illness. Fortunately, I stopped you from selling land. After I get rent next year, I will definitely thank them for your life."

Lin Hao was silent for a moment and said, "The road to imperial examinations has never been easy to go, so it is better to make another way to make a living. My son feels that he is not inferior to others and can always earn some property to support his mother."

Lin's mother sighed, "Although the imperial examination is not easy to walk, it is the best way. If you study mediocrely, I will not hang you from a tree and ask you to study. Since you have this talent, it would be a pity to waste it. Look at those merchant families, wealthy will be rich, and you will be inferior to scholars and scholars. What's more, this is related to future generations. If you have a hard time now, if you have a future, the suffering in these few years is nothing. I believe that I am not the one who can't bear the hardships."

Lin Hao lowered his head and received teaching.

When Ling Teng and Lin Hao arrived at the Zhao family the next day, Ling said, "Mr. Su and Changqing have already gone to the follow-up visit. Why don't you know?"

When the two rushed to the Lin family in a panic, Mr. Su had already prescribed the prescription. Mrs. Lin was full of apology, "There is no good tea at home, so I have to invite you two to drink a cup of white water."

Zhao Changqing followed him to learn how to take his pulse and said with a smile, "Mrs. Drinking tea is not good. White water is the most nourishing. What's more, your place is called Ganquan Hutong, and it is famous for its delicious water."

Mrs. Lin laughed, "That's right. There is a name in this alley called Tofu Hutong. It's all because the water is good and the tofu is well made." Hearing footsteps, Mrs. Lin saw her son coming back, and followed Ling Teng, laughed, "Let's go there for two."

Ling Teng was slightly surprised when he saw Zhao Changqing, "Why is sister here?"

Zhao Changqing laughed, "I'm here to learn how to take my pulse." She has been studying medicine with Mr. Su for several years. The only people in her family can take their pulse, and the symptoms they see are limited. Now that she has the opportunity, Mr. Su takes Zhao Changqing out for an internship.

Mrs. Lin laughed, "Miss Zhao is already proficient in medical skills at such a young age, which is amazing." She said to her son, "Miss Zhao is Ling Ge'er's cousin and Mr. Su's student."

As soon as Lin Hao entered the room, he saw Zhao Changqing. In order to make it easier for him, Zhao Changqing wore a jade-green man's long gown, with a wide belt around his waist and a jade hairpin on his head. However, his pretty appearance was obviously different from a boy. Ling Teng had seen her dressed in men's clothes several times, and he felt handsome in his heart. Lin Hao felt that this young man was too handsome at first. When he heard his mother say that it was a girl, his face turned red, and he quickly bowed, "Miss Zhao."

Zhao Changqing calmly bowed, and Mr. Su said, "The new recipe has been prepared. I will come back after drinking it for three days." Then he stood up and said goodbye.

Mrs. Lin kept for dinner, and Mr. Su laughed, "It will be the same if I come to disturb my wife after she is sick."

Mrs. Lin was going to send her out in person, and Mr. Su said, "It's cold outside, so my wife can get well in the house."

Mrs. Lin ordered her son to send Mr. Su's master and apprentice out.

After Ling Teng and Lin Hao came back, they sat for a moment and said goodbye. Lin Hao first went to the shop to grab medicine and went home, and then cooked lunch. Mrs. Lin set a chopstick dish for her son and praised her, "Mr. Su is not only skilled in medical skills, but also has a big posture like an ordinary doctor."

"Yes." Lin Hao said, "I didn't know anything at first, and I was also suspicious of Mr. Su's medical skills. She was worried about her mother's illness, so she had already come."

Mrs. Lin smiled, "So, are you blushing when you see the girl."

Lin Hao had calmed down and smiled, "I didn't realize she was a girl at first, so I took a few more glances. When my mother said that, she felt rude and her face turned red."
