Chapter 242 Visiting the sick
Li Lijun returned to the yard and started asking people to pack their luggage.
Although King Sui has not nodded yet, and Li Dai is even more clueless, Princess Dou has promised to help with the matter, so there is no problem in the matter. The only difference is that it will take a few days. Pack your important luggage in advance
Once packed, she can leave at any time, saving a lot of trouble.
Li Lijun did not intend to take away all the three carts of painting materials and paints that the imperial concubine had rewarded. She only needed to take away a small portion of each item, which was enough for her daily painting pleasure. The rest was left in the Sui Prince's palace until it was on hand.
After it is almost used, it will be the same if she sends someone back to get it. She can also use this reason to send someone back to Chang'an from time to time to inquire about the news.
When sorting out these painting materials, Li Lijun also specially packed a copy and sent it to his eldest brother Li Jianrang. Li Chujun mentioned before that his eldest brother Li Jianrang also studied painting with famous artists. When he was in good health, he painted a lot
He occasionally went out to party with people, and once showed it to others, and the reviews were pretty good. It’s just that he has been recuperating at home and observing filial piety for more than half a year, and no longer participates in such activities, but when he has nothing to do, he still
Read a book and draw a few sketches to pass the time. Li Lijun has enough painting materials in hand, so I would like to send a copy as a favor.
It is said that now that the Chen family has passed away and Princess Dou is in charge of the central government, the expenses of the successor king Li Dai are much stricter than before, and they no longer give or ask for anything. In the past, Li Jianrang could still get some of the Four Treasures of the Study or painting materials from time to time.
He gave them away to help some down-and-out calligraphers and painters who were not in a very good financial situation, and then recommended them to other clan members, which often won their gratitude and praise. Now that he can ensure that his share of supplies for the study remains unchanged, he is no longer satisfied.
It’s easy, where are the extra things to give away?
But he couldn't protest, because Princess Dou's reasons were very legitimate and sufficient: King Sui wanted to build a temple, and his successor Li Dai wanted to seek an official position. The expenses were very high, and the palace's income was limited, so it could no longer waste money.
Normal needs can be guaranteed, so why do you need extra things?
The King of Sui and the King of Sui remained silent for their own demands. The second and third bedrooms felt that their expenses were not reduced compared to before. Others did not know whether the palace's accounts were really short of money. Anyway, Princess Dou had been spending a lot of money in the past few months.
She slowly settled into her position as the mistress of the house, and no one said anything more about her housekeeping style. Even if Madam Cang and others had any objections, their words had no weight and they could only ask for help from the Yang family.
Li Jianrang has been recuperating at home and has less opportunities to go out to socialize. He has reduced his expenditures in this area and has nothing to complain about. He is just a little regretful that several calligraphers and painters he once liked have new sponsors and no longer pass them on.
He had lost his reputation and started to flatter others. He was depressed. He thought he could use others to leave a name for himself, but now he couldn't.
Li Lijun came to deliver painting materials, and Li Jianrang smiled and thanked her for her kindness, leaving only some paper and ink, and letting her take back the rest: "I don't need these now. Even if my health occasionally improves, I mostly read books to pass the time.
, I occasionally practice calligraphy and copy Buddhist scriptures, but I have long lost the mood for painting."
Li Lijun asked him: "How is brother's health now? What did the doctor say?"
Cang Cui repeated what the doctor had said, which was all in obscure classical Chinese. The general meaning was that Li Jian had given birth to a weak disease, and had not taken care of it for more than ten years. He also took some bad medicine and was depressed.
So now my body is very weak and it is easy to get sick, so I can only take care of myself slowly. There is no other option but to rest.
Li Lijun frowned when he heard this: "Is this what the doctor of our palace said? Have you ever asked the imperial doctor to look at it?"
Naturally, the imperial physician was also invited. Since King Sui regained the favor of the Holy Family, he immediately invited several imperial physicians who were used by the imperial family to examine his eldest grandson. Almost everyone came to the conclusion that
Much the same, there is a prescription prescribed by an imperial doctor for recuperation, and Li Jianrang is doing well now. In the past, he would be sick for eight out of ten days, and the remaining two days he would be a little energetic and able to walk around the house; now he can take almost ten days.
Half of the time, I don't have to lie in bed, I can take a walk in the yard, and for ten and a half months, I can even go to my grandfather, King Sui, to pay him a visit. This is already a great improvement.
Li Lijun secretly felt Li Jianrang's pulse, and used spiritual eye skills to observe his Qi, and found that there were some toxins remaining in his body. His internal organs were very weak, he was undernourished, and he was weak and short of breath. He was very curious and said that Yang Shiliu was
Mother and everyone around Li Jianrang took good care of him. How did they take care of him? Six months ago, Li Jianrang could still pay filial piety to the Chen family in the mourning hall and move freely in front of the elders of the clan. However, half a year later, he became weak and weak.
Is it like this?
Li Lijun remembered that little Yang had pretended to be virtuous for more than ten years, but after giving birth to her son, she began to plot against her nephew. She didn't trust Yang Sixiniang in her heart. She gave in to Li Jian: "Brother, you better cheer up and eat more."
If you want something nutritious and replenishing, as long as your body allows it, walk around the yard a few times a day and exercise your physical strength. Keep an open mind about everything and don’t always feel sad about messy things. The key to your disease is to take good care of yourself.
But if you don’t have confidence in yourself, how can you take care of yourself?”
Li Jianrang smiled bitterly: "I also want to have confidence in myself, but my body is like this...don't mention anything else, just look at what I look like when I'm good. Everyone thinks I won't live for a few more years.
, I’m just barely holding on now. If I couldn’t bear to see Aweng and Aye look sad, I might not be able to hold on today at all.”
Li Lijun was wary: "Who said you can't live for a few more years? What have the people around you been saying to you all day long?!" She turned to look at Cang Cui and Lady Cang standing at the other end of the room, "What if you guys
If you keep saying these depressing words in my brother’s ears all day long, even if he could have been well-educated, you will destroy his energy and spirit!”
Lady Cang never trusted the children born to the heir by other women. She just smiled when she heard this: "The fourth lady is young, does not know medical skills, and does not know how to take care of patients. Just leave these matters to the slaves.
There is no need for the fourth lady to worry."
Li Lijun snorted coldly and didn't bother to argue with them. He just said to Li Jianrang: "Since my brother's illness has improved, let's continue to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe prescriptions. In addition to taking medicine, you should also pay attention to taking more effective medicines."
Nutritious food, good food, good sleep, and peace of mind. Don’t listen to other people’s nonsense about you not being able to live long. Great-uncle King Zou had been told a few years ago that he was about to die, but he is still going strong until now! Brother, you are young and in good health.
Mao, is he not as good as my great-uncle, an old man?"
Li Jianrang couldn't help laughing: "You can't say that..."
"Anyway, just do as you are told!" Li Lijun interrupted him, "Don't worry about the calligraphers and painters outside. My brother used to interact with them just to hope that they would say more good things about you and spread the word about you outside.
You have a good reputation, right? What do you want to leave behind? This idea is too negative! Let me give you an idea. You might as well pay attention to various health supplements from now on. As long as you take any useful
, is a good recipe. You write them down and compile them into a small book. If it can be passed down to future generations, it can also leave a name in history. It is much more reliable than leaving a name through the works of those calligraphers, painters and poets. This is your own
