I played as an assistant in ancient times

Chapter 139 Good boy

The Shen family welcomed the follow-up visit of the old imperial physician in a state of trepidation. After he felt the pulse for a long time and looked into Shen Changsui's eyes and announced that he had recovered, Lin immediately put her palms together, first thanked the old imperial physician, and then turned around to thank all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"Old doctor, don't we need to continue the acupuncture and eye fumigation two or three more times?" Shen Xiaoye didn't want a relapse.

Shen Cungeng also asked, "Can you write and read now?" During the New Year holidays, Fourth Uncle let Xiaoye have a complete rest and he read to him every afternoon. What he read was actually a military book that Xiaoye didn't understand. Alas, he was scolded every time he broke the sentence. I don't know how Xiaoye continued to read these days.

Little did he know that all the military books were sent by Mr. Pan, and that Shen Xiaoye had been reading only the scientific examination books with well-punctuated sentences in the past month.

The old imperial guard waved his hand and said, "No need. Acupuncture is not good for blood stasis. The blood stasis in Master Shen's head is not big. The bruise at that time just happened to cause discomfort in the eye.

Now that it has dissipated, just be careful to protect your head from now on."

He took out a box of medicine from the medicine box and said, "This ointment has the effect of improving eyesight. You can apply it around your eyes to relieve the soreness when you feel tired from reading in the future."

"Can we have a horseback archery competition?" Grandpa Shen Shanyou was very concerned about this. Since his youngest son started learning horseback archery from him seriously two years ago, he immediately showed extraordinary talent.

But just when the child was fascinated by his studies, Mr. Ma died and the family was no longer financially capable, so he no longer had the chance to study properly.

But during these two visits to the camp, I believe Sui Ge’er will not miss the opportunity to learn.

"It would be better for him to rest for another half a month, but it should not affect his ability to ride in a carriage." The old imperial physician knew very well that this family did not go home for the New Year.

Everyone thanked him again and again, but when Shen Xiaoye presented him with silver and gifts as a thank you, the old imperial physician waved his hand and refused to accept them, "I am here to see you on orders."

The Lin couple were not willing to let him go empty-handed, and insisted on giving him the two pieces of dark-patterned satin that the emperor had earlier rewarded them.

After sending him off, Lin was overjoyed: "We'll go home tomorrow."

"Mom, I'm going to meet my husband. We agreed to leave together a few days ago." Shen Changsui hadn't been home for a long time and missed his brother and sister-in-law very much.

The Lin family was in high spirits when good things happened, so they all agreed to his request.

But she didn't expect that on the way back to Linghe County with Mr. Pan, her son would stay in Mr. Pan's car and refuse to come out.

She said to Shen Xiaoye, “Your fourth uncle is very competitive and is afraid that he will fall behind in schoolwork.

But it's not right for him and Geng Ge'er to occupy the carriage and let Mr.'s wife move to the back carriage."

"How about I go to the back and call my uncle back?" Shen Xiaoye asked with a deliberate smile.

But Lin hesitated again, and this hesitation lasted for two days. The carriage arrived at Linghe County at 3 p.m.

After rejecting Mr. Pan's invitation, the family hurriedly drove home, and Mrs. Lin finally had the opportunity to talk to her son in detail.

Shen Xiaoye and his cousin rode their horses, one on each side, to protect them, and at the same time, they listened attentively in unison.

However, the old lady's voice was so soft that not only did they not hear it, they were also caught by their grandfather who was driving the car.

Shen Xiaoye could only hope that the little black cat in the carriage would turn around and tell her.

It was already dusk when the car arrived at Jiuli Village, and many villagers had already eaten early and did not go out.

Only those who worked diligently on composting saw them coming back, among whom was the family of Village Chief Qian who had just finished his afternoon job.

Shen Xiaoye and his two younger brothers jumped off their horses to greet their elders and wish them a happy new year. The boys admired their horses so much that they all came up to touch them.

Last year, when everyone saw them learning to ride horses, the children in the village had no chance to get close to them because the two Taoist priests paid special attention to safety.

When Shen Changsui helped Lin get off the carriage and snored, the children immediately dropped their horses and looked at him with their bright eyes.

Years ago, people in the village and outside the village said that he would never be seen again.

"Is Sui'er all right now?" Headman Qian was very happy for him when he saw that his eyes were bright.

Shen Changsui smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Lao Li is worried about you."

"Sui'er, good job. I heard from Qian Da that you not only saved him from the Northern Tartars, but you also got injured when you led everyone to fight and rescue several wounded soldiers." Qian Jin's father and uncle were full of admiration.

Including the other men who were eating lunch together, they all praised him unanimously, and everyone said in the simplest language: "Good boy, you are a real man from Jiuli Village."

Shen Changsui was modest and said that it was all thanks to his teammates.

But everyone recognized him and no one else, and asked him to talk about the process of killing the enemies as they walked.

As the men walked and talked, Qian Jin's wife Liao Dujuan approached Shen Xiaoye and said, "Xiaoye, I heard that Lin's cousin-in-law collected a lot of cotton for you, and found a lot of women in Wuli Village to spin yarn before the New Year.

Do you think I can weave some cloth for you?"

"Sister-in-law, of course you can do it if you have time. Thirty-five cents for each piece of cloth.

If you spin the cotton and weave the cloth yourself, one piece will cost fifty cents.

But you also planted a lot of cotton, so you can weave cloth and sell it to me directly." Shen Xiaoye thought that his aunt was capable, but he didn't expect her to be so capable. She made a great name for herself just a dozen days before the New Year.

Liao Dujuan motioned her to walk slower and whispered, “The ones woven at home are for the public, and the ones I weave myself are for myself.

To be honest, if I had money, I would have bought a loom."

"How can you weave if you don't use the loom at home?" Shen Xiaoye had not planned to set up her own weaving workshop before.

Liao Dujuan said, "I have discussed with Aunt Tang and rented her loom."

"Oh, just ask my aunt for the thread." Shen Xiaoye stopped asking. She didn't want to have anything to do with Li Zi's family anymore.

Liao Dujuan said embarrassedly: "I want to get a few more pieces of thread for the cloth, is that possible?"

"This is up to my aunt to make the arrangements. I'll give it to her and she'll take care of it." Shen Xiaoye smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, just take it according to the regulations and don't look for me.

Look, my grandpa and his friends are about to turn the corner. Let’s talk later!”

"Hey." Liao Dujuan let go of her arm and watched her catch up with the person in front, muttering to herself: Could it be that Xiaoye guessed something?

While she was thinking, her sister-in-law Qian Nier suddenly came from behind and called her, "Sister-in-law!"

"Oh, Ni'er, why did you come out from behind? You scared me." Liao Dujuan patted his chest.

Qian Nier said seriously, "Sister-in-law, you'd better not get involved in other people's affairs.

I support you if you want to earn your own money, but if you have your own loom, don’t bother looking for someone else to help you.”

"My second aunt still needs it at home." Liao Dujuan had her own considerations.

Qian Nier stared at her for a few breaths, and then said, "Sister-in-law, let alone the fact that you borrowed someone else's loom and it would cause people to misunderstand my mother.

Just talking about what Grandma Li Zi did, do you think Xiao Ye will still be as indifferent as he was in the past?

Her mother herself feels guilty and doesn't dare to ask Aunt Lin for spinning thread, so why are you wading through this river?

That’s all I have to say. Think about it yourself!”

After saying that, she quickly chased after her family, while Liao Dujuan was stunned on the spot, feeling that her sister-in-law understood a lot more since she learned to read.

Shen Xiaoye was unaware of this episode. She was curiously touching her aunt's belly and asked, "When will the younger brother and sister be born?"
