Yi Zheng looked at Lu Yunqing's determined expression and immediately understood what she meant. He had to quietly put the jade bottle away and put it back in the secret compartment under the bed, feeling filled with emotion. Poor parents in the world!
Lu Yunqing nestled in Yi Zheng's arms, staring at each other quietly. At this time, silence was louder than sound.
The strong wind outside the house became stronger and stronger, and the room became more and more chilly. The two people lay on the bed, hugging each other and slowly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, Yi Zheng got up quietly, went to the east bedroom and looked at Yuan'er who was sleeping, then pressed the stretched quilt again and quietly lay back on the bed.
Lu Yunqing did not open his eyes, pretending to be unconscious and leaned closer to Yi Zheng, and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, the wind was still blowing, the air was getting colder, and it was not far from snowing.
By the time Yi Zheng got up, Lu Yunqing was already practicing kung fu in the front yard. His light and graceful figure was heroic in the cold wind, and he was moving around freely. Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment.
It took a long time to come back to reality. After returning to the bedroom and packing up Yi Yuan and Yi Wei respectively, he took the two children back to the yard.
The sky was still a little gray, and the wind was still a little strong, making my sleeves rustle.
The two children were very happy to see their mother rising and falling, and called for Yi Zheng to teach them.
Yi Zheng told the two children that it is not possible now, but when they grow up, they can be like their mother.
So the two children looked forward to growing up quickly and flying like birds.
After a while, Lu Yunqing stopped his efforts, took a long breath, and a stream of white air rushed out several feet away. He suddenly felt refreshed and refreshing.
The old butler Fu Bo and the old man came to the yard one after another.
Several people had breakfast together, and Mr. Yi told everyone to go find Mr. Jiang and congratulate him on his promotion to the innate realm.
Yi Zheng guessed: The old man must be thinking about the osmanthus tea that he just gave away yesterday and wants to drink some back today, not wanting to take advantage of others.
Yi Zheng didn't point it out and told the old butler Fu Bo to go to the market to buy more meat and new year's goods in the next few days.
Close to Yuan Day, hunters often bring out roe deer, elk, hares, pheasants, etc. from the mountains. Sometimes they can even hunt tigers and black bears, which are rare and delicious ingredients.
After leaving the main entrance, Yi Zheng walked on the street. There were not many pedestrians on the road, and the shop doors on both sides were basically ajar.
After a while, I walked to the door of Yi Hetang. The door was half opened and Yi Zheng stepped in.
Nephew Yi Hao had already cleaned the store. When he saw Yi Zheng arriving, he immediately went to the backyard to get a pot of hot water, made a cup of hot tea, and put it on the consultation table. The faint fragrance of tea began to float.
Yi Hao is usually responsible for preparing medicines. He has been doing this for eight or nine years and is already familiar with various herbal medicines. I am usually quite diligent. I am eighteen years old this year. Unfortunately, I cannot learn medical skills. I currently live in the yard behind the shop.
After Yi Zheng sat down, he asked: "Hao'er, I remember the girl that Matchmaker Wang introduced to you last month. How is the discussion now? Have you settled on it?"
"It has been decided. I originally planned to get married before the year before. The house at home is not enough. I will wait until next spring to build two houses before getting married." Yi Hao said in a low voice, hoping to build a house after the wedding year.
Yi Zheng nodded, took out a five hundred tael silver note from his arms, and told him: "This is your salary for this year. The extra silver tael is the reward for your hard work over the years. You can buy it in the town." Let’s go to the small courtyard and get married after the Chinese New Year.”
Looking at the five hundred taels of silver notes in front of him, Yi Hao didn't dare to accept it. He only had twenty taels of silver a year, so he was stunned when the five hundred taels of silver notes were placed in front of him.
"Don't worry, this is your reward. Any extra will be considered a gift from your elders. Take care of the big things in your life first and talk about the rest later." In order to dispel his worries, Yi Zheng said slowly, in advance. A congratulatory gift to him.
Yi Hao was really speechless. He silently stretched out his hand to accept the banknote, with tears in his eyes.
The wind outside the door became stronger and stronger, and the sky became darker and darker. Yi Zheng leaned on the chair and felt a little drowsy. Yi Hao, who was sitting in front of the medicine cabinet, was smiling stupidly, as if he was imagining a better life.
I don’t know how long it took, but it started to snow lightly in the sky. The soft snowflakes scattered in all directions, blowing into the house and melting instantly.
Pedestrians passed by in a hurry outside the door from time to time, and Yi Hao sat in front of the medicine cabinet in a daze, smiling foolishly.
At some point, a strong-looking man came in with a big bag on his back as if it was weightless.
He shook off the non-existent snowflakes on his body, took the package off his back and spread it on the ground.
"Doctor Yi, didn't you say you wanted some tiger bones last time? I happened to meet one a few days ago. It was injured and I took advantage of it. Today I brought one to you." The man said loudly. .
When the package was unfolded, a faint smell of blood wafted out.
Yi Zheng immediately became energetic. Tiger bones are a good thing. They are best used to make wine. Just keep some of them for medicinal purposes.
Yi Zheng walked up to the strong man, ordered Yi Hao to pour a bowl of hot water, and then said in a solemn tone: "Chang Shan, you have ventured to hunt in the mountains. It is very dangerous. I have told you many times that if you encounter an adult tiger, You can't fight. Just because you were lucky this time doesn't mean you will be so lucky next time. People don't get lucky every time." It was obvious that Yi Zheng knew the middle-aged man in front of him.
The strong man agreed reluctantly. Doctor Yi was kind to his family, and he accidentally heard that Doctor Yi needed tiger bones, so he decided to go into the mountains to try his luck.
Yi Zheng asked Chang Shan to drink a bowl of hot water first, and then took out a hundred taels of silver from the counter, telling him that it was to buy a gift for his son on New Year's Day, but Chang Shan refused and accepted it.
After Chang Shan left, Yi Zheng told Yi Hao to collect the tiger bones and meat, and went straight out.
When he arrived at Qian's Restaurant, Qian Tingfu happened to be there, and he learned that Yi Zheng wanted to soak tiger bones in wine, which has the effect of aphrodisiac and health preservation. He suddenly lost his composure and immediately said that tomorrow he would give Yi Zheng two jars of 30-year-old wine, about one hundred kilograms.
