Lunar New Year's eve.
Early in the morning, the couple started busy, pasting Spring Festival couplets, hanging lanterns...
In previous years, these were all done by the servants, but this year is different. There are only three people in the small courtyard. Li Qing is the elder, so naturally they have to decorate it.
After finishing these tasks, Li Hong began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Zhu Wanqing was there to help, and the husband sang and the wife followed.
Maybe Li Hong has figured it out recently and can hear the pros and cons, and Zhu Wanqing is no longer so resentful...
At the end of Chen hour, Li Qing got up.
He stretched out under the eaves, facing the sun, with a comfortable look on his face.
The sunny weather during the Chinese New Year made his already good mood even happier.
'Zizzizi...'
The collision of water and oil makes a constant sound, and the air is filled with aroma. From the sound and smell, it should be Li Hong frying meatballs.
It's hard for him. He has been a navy commander for so many years, but he still hasn't lost his cooking skills.
Li Qing smiled knowingly, washed himself with the water, picked up what he had half seen last night, leaned on the recliner, crossed his legs, and relaxed...
'Clang clang clang...! '
"Come in!" Li Qing shouted loudly.
Wang Shouren opened the door and came in.
Li Qing was surprised and said amusedly: "This guy is celebrating the Chinese New Year, and he still practices archery?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be startled.
Behind Wang Shouren, he saw a young woman, who was Wang Shouren's first wife, Zhu.
"Sir." Wang Shouren bowed.
Zhu clan also bowed with her husband.
"What's wrong?" Li Qing sat up and paused, "Let's go into the room and talk."
"Hey, okay." Wang Shouren held his wife's hand and followed Li Qing into the house.
Coming to the living room, the guests and hosts sat down.
Wang Shouren then said: "It's the Chinese New Year, so I shouldn't bother you sir..."
"With our relationship, there is no need to say this." Li Qing interrupted him and said, "What happened?"
"Sir, please check Zhuo Jing's pulse."
Li Qing nodded and asked Zhu Shi, "What's wrong with you?"
"I don't feel uncomfortable at all." Zhu shook his head.
"You don't need to avoid medical treatment when you're sick. I'm a doctor and Xiaoyun is your husband. There's no need to avoid medical treatment." Li Qing enlightened.
Zhu Shi hesitated for a moment and looked at her husband.
Wang Shouren said: "Let me tell you, Zhuo Jing has no obvious symptoms. It's just that she was pregnant. She came to Kuishui last night, but she didn't feel any discomfort. It's hard to find a doctor during the Chinese New Year... Mr. Don’t be surprised.”
Li Qing stood up and stepped forward, "Let me feel your pulse."
Zhu raised his hand and exposed his wrist.
Li Qing caught up with her, but after only a moment, he withdrew his hand and said, "It was misdiagnosed before. She is not pregnant."
Hearing this, Wang Shouren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as nothing happens, please sir, that quack doctor... thanks to my father, I gave him five taels of silver as a consultation fee."
However, Mr. Zhu lowered his head, twirling the corners of his clothes with his fingers, feeling depressed.
Seeing this, Wang Shouren asked again: "Sir, are you good at this?"
Li Qing deliberately said that he was not very good at it, but he swallowed his words and said, "Please give up your seat and I will take a good look at my pulse."
Wang Shouren hurriedly stood up to make room for him. Li Qing sat down, put his hand on Zhu Shi's wrist again, squinted his eyes, frowned, and lowered his eyelids...
a long time,
"The other hand."
Zhu took back his right hand and stretched out his left hand.
After another half-quarter of an hour of pulse diagnosis, Li Qing withdrew his hand and said, "Xiaoyun, come too."ωＷWω.ＧoＮЬ.οrＧ
"Ah?" Wang Shouren was surprised, "Is this still my business?"
Li Qing said angrily: "Nonsense, how can one person give birth to a child?"
"..." Wang Shouren touched his nose and sat sadly on the chair given by his wife.
Li Qing put his hand on his wrist, and after only a moment, he withdrew his hand.
"How's it going?" Wang Shouren asked.
"no problem."
"I'll just say it." Wang Shouren smiled, then suddenly realized something and asked, "Where is Zhuo Jing?"
"She...has some minor problems. She just needs to be nursed back to health." Li Qing said with a smile.
Hearing this, Zhu Shi relaxed.
Wang Shouren said: "Xiao Zhu, sit down for a while and tell me something for your husband. I will be back soon."
"Um."
"Sir, please."
Li Qing nodded and walked out first.
Wang Shouren followed and walked to the bamboo forest. He asked, "Sir, is there a big problem with the bamboo tree?"
Li Qing did not answer directly and asked: "I heard you mention it before. The Wang and Zhu families have always been on good terms. Do you have any understanding of Madam?"
"No, I never met her before we got married." Wang Shouren shook his head, "However, the two families are indeed on good terms. After all, we are still cousins."
"Ah?" Li Qing was shocked, "She, she is your cousin?"
"Uh... sort of." Wang Shouren said sarcastically, "But there is almost no blood relationship."
Hearing this, Li Qing relaxed slightly.
Wang Shouren became nervous and said: "Although I have never seen Zhuo Jing before we got married, I have seen my father-in-law many times. He is very healthy. He should not... Besides, this disease cannot be inherited. .”
"It's not hereditary, it's just that... your wife is relatively weak." Li Qing said, "Especially due to the severe cold in the capital, she may be a little acclimatized, and irregular menstruation has a lot to do with it."
After a pause, "Of course, if you take good care of yourself, it is still possible to get pregnant and have a baby. If you return to the south, the probability of pregnancy will greatly increase."
Wang Shouren nodded slowly: "Okay, after the Chinese New Year, I will take Zhuo Jing to Jiangxi, and I'll ask you, sir, to make a prescription."
"It's no problem." Li Qing comforted, "You are all still young and there is no need for you to be under psychological pressure."
Wang Shouren smiled, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, my parents... of course, they won't say anything, but even if they don't say anything, Zhuo Jing will still feel uncomfortable in his heart;
Women care more about this than men. I don't want her to be depressed all day long. "
"Well done." Li Qing praised, "This is a man's responsibility!"
Wang Shouren said with a smile: "She is my wife, of course I feel sorry for her."
Li'er is such a reasonable person, but in this era, there are very few men who can do this.
Wang Shouren sighed: "It's just that after this farewell, it will not be easy to see you again in the future!"
Li Qing smiled and said: "How old are you? There is a long time to come. When I have free time, I will go and drink with you."
After a pause, he said, "I have taught you everything I need to teach you about archery skills. The rest is that practice makes perfect. If you go to the south, you should study hard and try to get good grades."
"I'll try my best," Wang Shouren said.
The two returned to the living room. Li Qing opened a prescription and chatted for a while. Wang Shouren stood up and said goodbye, "I'm celebrating the New Year, sir. Sorry to bother you."
Zhu was not good at words, so he followed her husband and said, "I'm sorry, sir."
Li Qing nodded with a smile: "I will be busy after the new year. Xiaoyun, before you go to Jiangxi, come to my place and let's have a drink."
"Must come." Wang Shouren grinned.
Zhu was surprised, "Husband, are you going to Jiangxi?"
"Well," Wang Shouren said dotingly, "don't you miss your parents? I will take you to see them. Although my husband has to prepare for the imperial examination, he can study anywhere without conflict."
Zhu's lips pursed, her pretty face filled with happiness.
Li Qing saw this and couldn't help but sigh: It's better to be young!

At noon, I had a simple meal of dumplings and left all the hard vegetables in the evening.
Perhaps under the influence of Zhu's family, Li Qing began to diagnose the pulse of his son and daughter-in-law after dinner, so as to achieve early treatment of diseases and prevention of diseases.
Fortunately, Li Hong had been trained by Li Qing since he was a child, and he did not hesitate to teach him martial arts. Although Li Hong was not a martial arts wizard, he had also developed a good physique.
Zhu Wanqing was pampered and she gave birth to a son and a daughter. She lived an extremely comfortable life without losing her health.
However, Li Qing still formulated a method for them to exercise.
"Spending half an hour every day can prevent all kinds of diseases." Li Qing said: "You must practice. Whoever dares to be lazy will see if I don't hurt him, especially you."
Li Qing said to Zhu Wanqing.
"I know." Zhu Wanqing stuck out her tongue, "Don't worry, Uncle Li, I will try my best to live my life and respect you."
"Hey~!" Li Qing was ready to fight.
Zhu Wanqing ran away quickly and said with a smile: "How can anyone beat a junior during the Chinese New Year?"
"...Look at your virtue." Li Qing snorted and boasted: "Just practice it. Although Uncle Li's method cannot keep you young forever, it has the effect of delaying aging. If you don't want your macro If you go to a brothel, don’t slack off."
Zhu Wanqing's eyes lit up, and then she glared at Li Hong.
Li Hong's face was full of black lines: "Godfather, you can do it, what are you going to do with me?" It's better now, but I won't be able to go to bed for a few days...

On New Year’s Eve, the table is filled with sumptuous dishes.
There are also melon seeds, candied fruits, fresh fruits, candies...
"Cheers!" Zhu Wanqing raised her wine glass with a smile, extremely happy.
"Cheers!" Li Hong also raised his glass with a smile.
"cheers!!"
Eating vegetables, drinking wine, eating melon seeds, and talking... It is very interesting to stay up late this year.
midnight.
The three of them came to the courtyard and started setting off fireworks.
'咻~咻咻~咻咻~咻咻...'
Gorgeous fireworks illuminate the night sky, blooming brilliantly, and the air is filled with the delicious smell of nitric acid.
Deep in the night sky, the cheers of children could be heard faintly, cheering for the beautiful fireworks.
There are also crackling firecrackers...
Li Qing had a big smile and it was a great time to celebrate the New Year.
~
On New Year's Day, it's dark.
Li Hong got up early and called his godfather.
"Daddy, it's time to pay New Year greetings to the Emperor and collect red envelopes!" Li Hong shouted with a loud voice.
"Get out!" Li Qing was furious, "I'm not a court official, so what kind of year do you want to worship me?"
"Hey, I forgot," Li Hong shrank his neck and said sarcastically: "Then godfather, please continue sleeping, I'm entering the palace."
Li Qing: "..."
At this time, the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another and gradually became more intense. He couldn't sleep anymore.
"This bastard..." Li Qing got up helplessly.
Seeing that Zhu Wanqing didn't get up, she immediately said loudly: "Get up quickly and exercise, don't force me to slap you during the Chinese New Year!"
After a while, Zhu Wanqing walked out helplessly and said depressedly: "Uncle Li, you are really annoying."
"You say it again?"
"...Practice, let's practice now, okay?" Zhu Wanqing is very aware of current affairs, and she doesn't want to be beaten during the Chinese New Year.
Li Qing instantly regained his mental balance and said, "Uncle Li is also doing this for your own good."
"...Uncle Li, do you have any red envelopes this year?"
"Why don't you look at how old you are?" Li Qing said with a dark face, then pursed his lips and said,
"have!"
