Chapter 768： Make a companion on the road to hell!

Chapter 768: Make friends on the road to hell!

After all, it was good news. I didn’t want my family to be so worried, so I said, “Mom, don’t worry, it’s a fox, and one day it will show its tail.

“I have already pretended to be ill and broke the rumors. If it is really the Wang family’s plan, there must be some backup plans. Let’s wait and see. The troops will come to cover up the water and the earth.”

No one can do anything, so this is all they can do.

After chatting a few more words, everyone went back to rest.

Early on the next morning, Li Laosan returned to Luo'an and took away Wenjuan and the children, as well as Brother Li and Guo Wenhao.

Since there is nothing to do at home, Brother Li and Wen Hao should go back to the college early to study.

In autumn, they also have to go out to take exams.

Don’t worry about whether you are sure or not, give it a try.

If you fail the exam, you will gain experience.

One after another, some girls who were good friends with Jiayin sent people to deliver things and visit the sick.

Including Xu Xi and Mei Lan.

They originally wanted to come in person, but their family didn’t allow it.

Therefore, they could only ask their personal maids to bring a lot of food and supplies, even new picture books from the bookstore, hoping to relieve the boredom of Good News.

Shui Ling picked a lot of fresh fruits as a return gift for the good news.

After another two or three days, it finally became quiet in front of Li's house, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan'er and Mrs. Li were sitting under the eaves of the verandah doing needlework, while Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru were busy in the kitchen, planning to make some glutinous rice cakes.

Yue Ya'er was wearing a bright red half-sleeved shirt and gauze trousers, running around the yard, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

Sister-in-law Qiong wanted to carry her under the eaves to enjoy the cool air, but unfortunately the little girl's calves were flying so fast that she couldn't catch up.

Sister-in-law Qiong had no choice but to give up and wait for her master to come over soon. The little girl clung to her mother, so she naturally stopped running away.

Mrs. Li looked at the lively Yue Ya'er, thought of her granddaughter, and asked Wan'er, "What is your sister doing?"

Wan'er smiled and said, "Maybe it was too late to read the storybook last night, and I am still in bed at the moment."

Mrs. Li couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, "There's really nothing we can do about this girl. These days, she eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats.

“If we continue like this, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to pretend to be sick. After all, who’s patient is not thin, but is fat like a ball?”

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Just as Wan'er was about to speak, a carriage came outside the courtyard gate.

Soon, Grandma He came in to report.

“Old madam, a woman who claims to be Mrs. Wei from Wei County is visiting.”

Mrs. Wei?

Everyone was puzzled because there was no one named Wei who was walking around the house.

Mrs. Li said: "Please come in and ask me something."

Grandma He turned back and soon led a middle-aged woman in a dark blue dress to come in.

The woman is not tall, slightly fat, and has an average appearance. Her dress is not gorgeous, but clean and tidy. It is obvious that her family is not poor.

But she walked in from the door, her head half-bowed without observing etiquette, her eyes rolling around, and she took a clear look at the Li family yard.

Everyone couldn't help but frown, with a hint of displeasure in their expressions.

Old Mrs. Li told Wan'er, "Take Yue Ya'er to the house to eat some fruit."

Wan'er quickly stood up and called her personal maid Chunxiu to carry Yue Ya'er into the house.

Sister-in-law Qiong stood behind Mrs. Li, in case the visitor had malicious intentions.

Zhao Yuru heard the commotion in the kitchen, spoke to Tao Hongying, and came out to accompany her mother-in-law to entertain the guests.

The woman surnamed Wei walked down the steps and bowed, with a smile on her face and she was very humble.

"My little wife, Mr. Wei Tian, ​​has taken the liberty of coming to visit me. I hope that the old lady will forgive me." Mrs. Li raised her hand and said, "You are a visitor when you come to the house. You are welcome, Mrs. Wei. Please sit down and drink tea."

Sister-in-law Qiong moved a stool and put it down three steps away from Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Wei thanked her, sat down, and introduced herself.

Her husband is the younger brother of the county magistrate of Wei County and a clerk in the county government. Although he is not of high rank, he can still be regarded as a public servant.

And Wei County is only seventy or eighty miles outside Xindu, which is not too far away.

It’s just that I don’t know why the county magistrate’s sister-in-law suddenly came to visit...

Mrs. Li guessed that she might be a goddess. After all, the doctors who came before were helpless.

The Li family also said that Jiayin became seriously ill after being frightened.

Now that the doctor is useless, the goddess comes to join in the fun, and it is possible to pick up the slack.

So she drank tea with Mrs. Wei and chatted a few words.

Mrs. Wei glanced at the Li family present, and finally got to the point and asked, "Old madam, I heard that the princess of your mansion is ill. I wonder how she is doing recently. Is she getting better?"

Old Mrs. Li thought she had guessed it right, and she felt more and more confident.

So she pulled off the veil, lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, and her eyes immediately turned red.

“The princess’s illness is dangerous, and she is still recovering from it.”

A flash of understanding flashed across Mrs. Wei's expression, and when Zhao Yuru and Sister-in-law Qiong lowered their heads and wiped away tears, the understanding turned into joy.

“The little woman has been to the city and seen the notice posted by your mansion, offering a reward of one thousand taels. Didn’t you recruit famous doctors to diagnose and treat the princess?”

"Of course there is, but we can't diagnose the princess's illness." Zhao Yuru answered, shaking her head and sighing, looking very sad.

Mrs. Wei also sighed and asked tentatively: "Then we can't just wait like this?"

Old Mrs. Li was impatient to grind her teeth with her, and asked: "Mrs. Wei came here this time, is it recommended by a good doctor?

“If so, Mrs. Wei, just tell me, as long as the princess can be cured, our Li family will give you generous gifts!”

Mrs. Wei coughed dryly, took a sip of tea, and then said: "To be fair to the old lady, I really have a trick here. If the old lady doesn't mind, you can listen to it."

"Okay, tell me, what can I do?" Mrs. Li became more and more certain that Mrs. Wei was a goddess.

Mrs. Wei whispered: "I wonder if this old lady has ever heard of... Chongxi?"

Happiness? !

Mrs. Li didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Happy? What are you happy for?"

Mrs. Wei explained carefully.

"It means getting married, and using joy to counteract the illness. The princess is seriously ill now, and her life is not long. The doctors have no way, so it is better to think of other ways, which may have miraculous results."

"No, the princess is only ten years old, how can we get married?!" Old Mrs. Li looked extremely unhappy and refused directly.

She originally thought that this person was just opening an altar to perform rituals or something like that, but she didn't expect it to be a happy occasion.

Pretending to be sick is just a temporary measure, how could it involve your granddaughter’s life-long event?

Mrs. Wei Xu expected such opposition and quickly appeased Mrs. Li.

"Old madam, listen to me, this is a good thing! There was a scholar in our hometown who was seriously ill and couldn't afford any medicine.

“Later, my family got him married to a beautiful daughter-in-law, and he got better in less than half a month. It’s good luck!

“Furthermore, the bride I want to introduce to the princess this time is the eldest grandson of the Chen family, a wealthy family in our county. He has been weak since he was a child and has been taking medicine all the time. However, he is polite, filial and sensible, and is a good man.

“Mr. Chen has been looking a little bad these days. The Chen family loves their eldest grandson and wants to get him married as soon as possible.

“I happened to hear that the princess of your mansion was seriously ill, so the Chen family asked me to tell her that they were willing to pay a bride price of three thousand taels.

“If the two children get married and are in good health, then it will be absolutely wonderful. To say the least, even if it is not good, the two children will still have company on the road to hell..."

“Fart! Shut that stinky mouth of yours!”

Old Mrs. Li stood up suddenly, so angry that she exploded!
