Chapter 293: lack of money

In August, the tigers are flourishing in autumn. After a rain, every day is sunny, like a fire.

Sitting bumpy in the carriage during the day, Li Haitang was sweating all over and fell asleep. She could only wake up at dusk.

After she became pregnant, her body became extremely delicate. She couldn't do it either when it was cold or hot. When she smelled something fishy, ​​she immediately choked and retched. She didn't even want to look at her favorite fish before.

Because of this, the food of the group began to be hot and sour. Ruan Pingzhi noticed the clue and knew it, but he wisely didn't say it.

Since leaving Xianchi, the journey has been smooth, and seven or eight days have passed in a flash, and it is August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Husband, I miss Jin Hu a little bit."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival, but Li Haitang and his party did not take the water route, but went around to another city, Fancheng.

"In another four or five days, we will be able to go home."

Xiao Lingchuan counted the time, the lady was pregnant, he made arrangements as much as possible along the way, no longer slept in the wild, but went to a nearby town to find an inn.

"Well, go see Chunniang, let's go back to the mountain."

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Li Haitang couldn't wait to get pregnant. Cousin Ruan Pingzhi meant to take her and Li Jinhu to the capital to meet relatives. I spent the Chinese New Year in Nguyen Mansion.

However, my younger brother is still studying at Lushan Academy, and it won't be too late to pass the children's examination next year.

In the past few days, the reaction to morning sickness was strong, thinking of traveling a long distance to the capital, Li Haitang felt dizzy three times.

Feeling that there was a small life in her stomach, she threw herself on the child with all her heart.

In his sleep, Li Haitang would always dream of a chubby little doll, waving at her, the little fat boy was not cold at all, babbling non-stop, with glistening saliva flowing from his lips, chubby like a New Year painting dolls.

There are many reasons why she doesn't want to go to the capital right away. After all, she is not the original owner of the body. She has a strong self-esteem and is most afraid of being looked down upon. If she brings her younger brother to the capital, she will definitely be regarded as a poor relative.

After she got pregnant, Li Haitang did the math, not counting the savage husband's private collection, she herself had savings of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The medical center in Lucheng lost money every month at the beginning, and Zhao Baoshan's stumpy young man would definitely not cheat the people's money. When the poor seek medical advice, they always prescribe cheap medicines.

Excluding the cost, there is no profit of a penny, and a series of people such as the shopkeeper, the accountant, the clerk, and the medical girl have to be supported.

For the Lucheng Plague, the medical center dispensed medicine for free and paid thousands of taels. This loophole cannot be made up in a short time.

If it wasn't for the craniotomy and the money she earned from coming to Licheng, she, Dr. Li, would be a pauper.

In short, money and fame, sometimes can not have both.

"Husband, I've been thinking about what we could do to earn money years ago."

She was pregnant in October, and Xiao Baozi was born. Li Haitang was the mother, and felt that she would have a sense of responsibility.

Ten thousand taels of silver sounds like a lot, she was chatting with her cousin Ruan Pingzhi, the land in the capital is really worth an inch of land.

For example, the Ruan family, a powerful family, owns several farms and shops in the suburbs of Beijing.

Relying on the little salary of being an official, it is only enough to eat Chinese cabbage every meal, and the servants can't afford it.

At the feet of the emperor, there are not many ways to blatantly greedy for ink, all relying on subsidies from the clan.

In the early days, Li Haitang couldn't think of a good solution, so she asked her medical clinic to sell hair dye to see how it worked.

"My lady, leave the money to me."

Xiao Lingchuan was afraid that Li Haitang would worry too much, his wife was only responsible for eating, drinking and having fun, as for the rest of the housework, chores and making money, these were all his affairs.

The couple chatted for a while, and the carriage passed by the downtown street.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a big market in Fancheng, the streets were noisy, and the people went out to the market to buy moon cakes.

There are several kinds of mooncakes, and the poor can only eat the worst ones. Although the budget is limited, the common people have to bite their teeth and buy a few pieces to suit the occasion. It seems that there is always something wrong with not eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"I was thinking about going home and making more mooncakes, but it was a mess."

She has been on the road for the past few days and can only get to the inn after dark. Zhang Ruyi yawned. She also wanted to have a steamed stuffed bun. It would be best if she and Li Haitang's children were born one after the other and made a baby kiss.

There is almost no hope of reforming Lu Er's fool, she has given up, and if she gives birth to a child, she must teach it from an early age.

So, she diverted her attention and put her energy on creating small buns.

Zhang Ruyi was gearing up, talking with Lu Er on the bed, but Liusu didn't use the medicine powder to be overbearing, and there was no antidote, and it took a month to recover, but she was shooting herself in the foot, digging a hole and burying herself.

Zhang Ruyi wailed, she didn't know that she would reconcile so quickly!

"Moon cakes are greasy and not tasty."

Li Haitang got out of the carriage and walked around with Zhang Ruyi twice. They are the main force when shopping.

Liusu's attractive face, it's better not to appear on the scene, and although Lanyi's mood has stabilized a bit, he is afraid of strangers, hiding in the car and refusing to get out.

"Is that pancake delicious? The kind with bacon and potato shreds."

Zhang Ruyi swallowed. Fancheng's food was relatively light. She bought a bunch of roasted corn on the street. The corn was old and had no sauce on it.

"Too oily."

Li Haitang shook her head, she most wanted to eat spicy cabbage, sour radish, salty cucumber, and some side dishes of porridge.

"It turns out that when a woman is pregnant, her appetite will change like this."

Zhang Ruyi felt like vomiting when she saw Li Haitang moving, which was quite painful, and she didn't want to give birth to a bun so early.

The two walked around the market and bought a set of ornaments made of porcelain dolls.

The specialty here in Fancheng is small bronze mirrors, and almost all of Daqi's bronze mirrors are produced here.

There are carved handles, as well as hollow ones, which can be buckled in one place, and the light is also clear.

In Daqi, the cheapest small bronze mirror costs more than a hundred yuan, which is one of the dowries of women.

Li Haitang took a fancy to one, the handle was inlaid with butterflies and rubies, and asked the price, two hundred taels, no counter-offering.

"Haitang, look at this gemstone. It is of the right color, and the price of two hundred taels is fair."

After all, she is the magistrate's daughter, and she still has the eyesight to appreciate gemstones. The gemstones inlaid on the bronze mirror alone are worth two hundred taels.

"But…"

Li Haitang hesitated for a moment. A small mirror worth two hundred taels was a luxury item. She didn't particularly like jewellery. What she liked was the hollowed-out carvings.

"Buy it, anyway, the copper mirror on it is broken, and you can replace it with a new one, so you can use it forever."

At the instigation of Miss Zhang, Li Haitang obediently took out the silver, and then the two bought a few small bronze mirrors to keep as gifts, each spending a few hundred taels. Spending money faster than earning it is not okay!
