Chapter 9 Sleepless Nights (2)

Lian Man'er was sleeping in a daze and couldn't open her eyes. She only felt that someone picked up her wrist to take her pulse. She heard Lian Shouxin talking to Zhang again, and there was a stranger's voice during this period. "*Shou*Shi"

"... The pulse is quite peaceful, it should be fine. Take a few doses of medicine to clear the heat and calm the spirit, and take a few days to take a look." Doctor Wang prescribed the prescription, and saw Lian Shouxin and Zhang's couple anxiously looking a little absent-minded, and then said, "... They are all common medicines, I happened to bring some. Why don't you go back with me and give them two doses to your child now."

Even Shouxin and Zhang nodded quickly and agreed, followed Doctor Wang out of the west wing. When they saw that the lights were still on in the upper room, they could vaguely hear Zhou's oh-so-sounding sound.

Zhang and Lian Shouxin looked at each other.

"Doctor Wang, is it important for my mother's illness? I also need to prescribe some medicine to take." Lian Shouxin politely to Dr. Wang.

"Your old lady is okay... Well, if you want to take medicine..."

Lian Man'er only heard a few words in a vague way in the room, thinking to himself, it turned out that the couple knew that Zhou was pretending to be sick, but they still invited a doctor. They had already seen Zhou first. They were really filial and had nothing to say.

Lian Family Home West House

Lian Duoer was already asleep on the kang. Lian Shouren and Gu were sitting on the kang and discussing something in a low voice. The door suddenly creaked and was pushed open. Lian Huaer came in from outside and reached out to Lian Duoer.

"What are you doing in Huaer?" Gu looked at Lian Huaer's bad expression and hurriedly got up to stop her.

Lian Huaer's hand was originally going to Lian Duoer, but was stopped by Gu and could not catch Lian Duoer.

"Mom, don't stop me. She won't remember until she pinched her mouth this time. What was going smoothly was almost ruined because of her." Lian Huaer said angrily.

Gu also complained that Lian Duoer almost broke Lian Huaer's affairs, but the palms and backs of his hands were flesh.

"Okay, haven't you taught her a lesson? If you hit her again, it will be bad if you can see it." Gu advised Lian Huaer.

"Then let her go first and wait until I go back to the town..." Lian Huaer felt that Gu's words were reasonable, so she had to suppress her anger.

"Duoer is your dear girl..."

"It's not my dear girl, I'll beat her to death long ago." Lian Huaer said angrily.

"By the way," Gu suddenly thought of something and asked Lian Huaer. He suddenly shut up and pointed his finger to the east, "Are you asleep?"

Lian Huaer nodded.

"I just asked the fourth uncle and the fourth god to take medicine. I had a night of trouble and were so sleepy that I was already very sleepy. When I came out, I was asleep to death." Lian Huaer said.

Gu fell to the window and looked out. Seeing that there was no one outside, he pulled Lianhua'er.

"Man'er actually came back to life. She didn't hear that, did she ask?" Gu asked in a low voice.

"It shouldn't be, otherwise she would have said it." Lian Huaer thought for a while and said, "From what she said and acted today, she actually misread her."

"You're fine with Yingzi." Gu asked again.

"That was a shallow eyelid, and I had already lived with me by a few good words. She thought the bracelet was golden, and she had never seen the world before." Lian Huaer's tone was a little contemptuous, "As long as I hide this matter from being hidden by me, I won't be afraid."

"That's right." Gu nodded.

"Mom, what's there to eat?" Even Huaer sat on the kang, "I'm going to starve to death."

"Mom, I know you're here to find food." Gu smiled and took out a box of snacks from his clothes and bags. "You have the most favorite osmanthus cake from Guixiangzhai in the town."

Even the flowers took snacks from the box.

"Mom, we must live here until I get married? Otherwise, we will go back to the town tomorrow. I really can't eat their food. Every meal is full of millet and rice and nests. My throat hurts, and I can't eat it without a bite. Aunt Xiu'er even picked up meat for me, and the fat meat can only be fed to the dog. She thought it was something good. It's ridiculous when she was having a meal, she even started to make trouble because of this."

Lian Huaer couldn't help laughing at the end.

"Hold on it first, if you don't come back, you will depend on your father, how can you buy the dowry?" Gu said, and glanced at Lian Shouren next to him.

"I think my grandparents are poor and refuse to sell land, so what kind of dowry can we get. If we have money tomorrow, we might as well go back to the town, which is more convenient." Lian Huaer said.

"That's what I mean, Master, look, we'll go back to the town tomorrow?" Gu asked Lian Shouren with a smile.

"What my parents and I said was to live until Huaer got married and get married from the old house." Lian Shouren said.

"Now that I have money, I will say what the Sun family said, "It's not easy to get married from the town." Gu said.

Lian Shouren hesitated a little.

"That's fine, but my parents knew that the restaurant in my town was gone, so we would have to live for the New Year. If we leave tomorrow, we would be afraid of being cold and we would be in trouble in the future." Lian Shouren said, "I'll go back tomorrow. You're here, and I'll send Dalang and the others back. The autumn harvest is coming soon. You're here, so you'll be more beautiful here, so you can get some rice and white flour to the town, which is enough for us to eat next year."

"Dad said it well. Just let the elder brother and sister-in-law do this. They are used to it. My mother and I will follow my father back to the town to get a dowry." Lian Huaer said.

"Is it because the master has something to do? He has to leave our mothers alone before he can do it?" Gu looked at Lian Shouren with a smile.

"What nonsense, then I'll tell my parents tomorrow morning to take you back." Lian Shouren said hurriedly.

Gu Shi and Lian Huaer looked at each other and laughed.

"Dad, mom, are you planning your dowry?" Lian Huaer asked again.

"Didn't the son of the Sun family say that he doesn't need a dowry, he married you." Lian Shouren hurriedly said, "You have seen it too, how can we buy a dowry in our family?"

"If Dad says that, then Dad will be in trouble in the future." Lian Huaer wiped the dessert on the corner of her mouth with a veil.

"What are you saying, you girl? You're still making things difficult for your father?" Lian Shouren was a little annoyed.

Gu was busy persuading him, "You two have something to do and discuss it."

"Dad, don't forget that I will pay back the money I borrow tomorrow. I will pay back the five hundred and forty taels I borrowed tomorrow, and three hundred and twenty taels to Yang Chengfeng. There are still two hundred and forty taels. Keep the forty taels for my father to use. Give me a dowry for 200 taels and barely get through it." Lian Huaer said, obviously he had calculated it clearly.

"What, do you want to buy a dowry for 200 taels?" Lian Shouren was anxious. "The rules in our countryside are that a dowry worth 20 to 30 taels of silver is extremely decent. Because you marry the Sun family, I will give it to you..."

Speaking of this, Lian Shouren paused, and then said ruthlessly: "I will get you one hundred taels. The rest of the rest is not needed at home. The twenty taels I saved were very easy, and for your sake, I handed them back to your grandparents. In short, you have one hundred twenty taels for your dowry."

When Lian Huaer saw Lian Shouren say this, she hurriedly gave Gu a wink.

"Master, Hua'er is right about this. The Sun family is a wealthy family. Only when Hua'er's dowry is richer can we have face. In the future, we can have a better conversation with our family. Besides, it's only been the past two or three months. When Hua'er gets married, the Sun family's son becomes our son-in-law. Are you afraid that we will not have the money we have?" Gu said.

The mother and daughter were both slandering each other, and when they talked about Lian Shouren's future, Lian Shouren nodded reluctantly.

"Hua'er, Daddy has lost everything for you."

"Dad don't worry, I understand." Lian Huaer smiled, "I must have made Sun Lang concerned about my father's affairs. When my father becomes an official in the future, I will also rise with the water in the Sun family."

"We flowers are smart." Lian Shouren said with a smile.

The three of them agreed, and Lian Huaer returned to the east room to sleep with satisfaction.

……………………

The candlelight in the east wing room had already been extinguished. He slept until midnight and suddenly woke up. When he thought of something, he raised his leg and kicked Lian Shouyi next to him.

"His father..." He said.

"What's the matter?" Shouyi muttered, his eyes not opening.

"Brother must have reported the fake account again. Tomorrow, you can follow your brother to the town and find a way to get a few taels of silver envoys." He said.

"You have to say this." Lian Shouyi quickly woke up when he heard Yinzi. "Dad is all about asking his elder brother to become an official, so that he can follow the old man and not listen to anything else. Over the years, our family's wealth has been emptied by the elder brother. They deceived their parents, the third and fourth brothers, but they can't deceive me."

"What's going on this time? The Sun family is a rich family. I heard that they are still relatives with the Shen family in Fucheng. It's not difficult to get an official for the eldest brother." He pressed one leg on Lian Shouyi's legs and said.

"It seems that there is a real success this time." Lian Shouyi pulled He's retreat away and said.

"Then can we follow us?" He said happily.

"Then it goes, we have no family, so my parents will definitely go, and our family will follow us." Lian Shouyi said, "I heard from Li Bantou of the county that the county magistrate in our county brought several brothers and brother-in-law in the yamen. Everyone would call the master when they saw it, and the money was so soft that we could not be worse than that."

He was happy for a while, and then thought that he could not be as good as his wife as his master. He thought so, and suddenly became unsatisfied again. "His father, if you continue to study, wouldn't this good thing be yours?"

"Don't mention studying anymore. When I mention studying, I will have a headache. We don't have a daughter like Huaer. Over the years, we have also provided support to our elder brother. It is necessary to follow him to enjoy the happiness." Lian Shouyi kicked He.

"His father, your elder brother is cruel. Look at this time, it was the girl Man'er who was very lucky to survive." He suddenly said, "That bitch Gu, like a vixen, can you really take care of us then?"

"He still has his father and mother there, so he dares not take care of him." Lian Shouyi snorted, "Besides, I am not the fool of the fourth brother. My elder brother has been in my hands over the years, so why are he afraid of him?"
