Even in front of his own family, even if Xia Junkai is not really dying, he still feels uncomfortable talking about these things.
After two sentences, he simply and rudely ended the topic and looked at his mother, "Mom, if you have nothing to do, you can go to the garden to plant vegetables, and you can also make snacks for the Qingqing brothers and sisters. Don't worry about these things."
After a long while, Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses and said incoherently, "No, you are only thirty. If you are sick, you need to be treated. Have you asked a doctor?"
"Yes!" Xia's father said, "You only need a single seedling in Qingyuan. What if something goes wrong? The disease still needs to be treated..."
"Dad!" Xia Junkai interrupted him, "Are you afraid that outsiders won't know that I have a hidden disease? I got it from going to the flower house. Officials are sleeping with prostitutes. If you spread the word, I can pack my bags and go home with you to farm."
The Xia family couple looked at each other, really not knowing what to do.
They did not doubt the truth of this statement. They knew that their son and daughter-in-law had a good relationship. If they were not really sick, they would not separate.
It turned out that the couple was planning to let Xia Junkai take a concubine, but they swallowed it before they even said it. Not only that, they couldn't care less about taking a concubine now.
The next morning, Chu Yunli didn't see the two of them after she got up.
It was already afternoon, and the couple came back from outside and packed several packets of medicine.
Chu Yunli was speechless, "Did you really go buy medicine?"
Seeing that her expression was speechless, Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "Don't worry, we went to the outer city to buy it, and we didn't say it was... Junkai, what I told the doctor was your father..."
"Cough cough cough!" Xia's father's cough interrupted her words, and then looked at Chu Yunli again, "Don't worry about it."
So, Chu Yunli didn't care.
When Xia Junkai came back in the evening, what he saw was a bowl of dark concoction and his mother's smiling eyes. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, "Mom, what is this?"
"It's a medicine to cure a disease!" Ms. Zhou said seriously, "The doctor said that if you drink this medicine, you should keep it until the disease is cured. If it doesn't work, he will refund the money."
"I won't drink!" Xia Junkai almost ran into the house, slammed the door, and didn't even come out to eat dinner that night.
In Zhou's eyes, her son was angry. During dinner, she looked at the door several times, but when her son never came, she worriedly said, "How can you hide a disease and avoid medical treatment? If you are sick, you must treat it!"
After barely eating a bowl of rice, Mrs. Zhou slapped her chopsticks on the table, "No, you must drink this medicine! How can you waste the best medicine that you spent three taels of silver on? Dad, come with me.
I advise Junkai, he is already in his twenties, how can this child not like to take medicine as much as he did when he was a child? Even if we give it to him, we still have to give it to him!"
The smell of the medicine was quite strong, and Chu Yunli could smell something even from a distance. I don’t know which local doctor prepared this medicine. After drinking it, a normal person would have to make up for the nosebleeds!
The couple over there happily went to Xia Junkai's house with the medicine bowl, and then there was a lot of excitement. Finally, it ended with a crisp sound of breaking porcelain!
Chu Yunli drank the soup and shook her head with a smile.
But it didn't matter when a cool voice suddenly came from behind, "Still laughing! You had a bad idea!"
As soon as he turned around, he saw Xia Junkai with a sinking face at the door.
Chu Yunli was not afraid of him and said calmly, "I just said it casually, who knew you would admit it? Besides, you have been rushing to take the exam for half a year, how do I know whether what you said about Hualou is true or false?"
"I thought it was true."
After saying that, he turned around and continued drinking soup.
Xia Junkai strode to sit across from her and filled a bowl of rice, "They have nothing to do all day long."
Chu Yunli still said fairly, "Actually, your parents also care about you. In order to buy you medicine, they presumed that your father was sick, so they really went out of their way to do it! Their love for their children is enviable...
"
"Envy?" Xia Junkai's face turned darker and darker, "There should be medicine in the kitchen. Do you want a bowl?"
"I'm in very good health," Chu Yunli snorted, "Besides, that's the medicine your parents bought for you. If I drink it, they'll have to fight for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou appeared at the door holding a bowl, "Junkai, you can't spill any more. This is the last bowl left for today. Three taels of silver will cost you three sets. If it doesn't work, we can't cure it."
I want to go find him to refund the money. Your father and I got up early and ran around all day. You might as well give it a try..."
Xia Junkai hurriedly put some vegetables on the bowl and ran away.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly caught up to persuade him.
The next morning, the first thing Xia Junkai said when he saw Chu Yunli was, "They must be sent away as soon as possible!"
Send away?
If it were just the couple, they could set off at any time. However, there is also the Xia family at home.
She has become more and more ill recently. Apart from tampering with the horse, Chu Yunli really didn't do anything this time.
Since the Yin family's father and son were buried, Ms. Xia has never left bed. The loss of her husband and son was a big blow to her. She has been sleeping most of the time in the past two days. If this continues, she probably won't survive for a few more days.
Chu Yunli usually didn't go to see her. Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Xi took care of her. It was raining that day, so she had to walk under the eaves when she came out of the backyard. When passing by Mr. Xia's house, she heard her say, "Wait a minute."
wait!"
Chu Yunli paused and looked over. The Xia family on the bed looked haggard and much thinner. Her hands were stretched out like chicken claws, "Li Qiu, I have something... I want to ask you..."
"Tell me." Chu Yunli strolled to the bed.
Xia was skinny and skinny, her eyes were much bigger and black, with a faint air of death. She stared at her and asked, "Is it you?"
"What did you say?" Even if it was true, Chu Yunli couldn't admit it.
"You...blame me...don't you? I dreamed that you...died and the child...didn't stay...
Junkai...the vomiting of blood is gone, the Xia family...was destroyed by me, I am a sinner, I am a sinner," she became excited, her pale face turned rosy, and her words became smoother, "I obviously want to
The Xia family is better. I don't want to harm Junkai. I just want him to marry a noble girl and give birth to children of noble birth, so that the Xia family can be better. I don't want to harm him. I don't want to harm the Xia family...
"Suddenly, she grabbed Chu Yunli's hand and stared at her, "Let my grandson go, I beg you!"
There was a lot of movement here. Mrs. Zhou knew that Mr. Xia was seriously ill, so she had always paid attention to it. Now she had arrived at the door early. When she heard Mr. Xia's crazy words, her expression became cautious.
Seeing the pleading in her eyes, Chu Yunli brushed her hand away and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Mrs. Xia stared at her, her eyes gradually became blurry, and she lost her breath.
Xia's father saw something wrong with the person on the bed, so he hurriedly came in and touched the tip of Xia's nose with trembling hands. Then, he fell to the ground, lying on the edge of the bed and crying loudly.
Xia's funeral was kept simple, and she was buried in a few days. The whole family was buried on the outskirts of the capital, far away from the simple and heavy gate of the capital.
Aren't the things this family does just to catch up with the nobles in the capital?
It’s great to be buried here!
Seriously speaking, these several funerals had nothing to do with Xia Junkai, so when Xia's family was gone, he took a day off and sent her to the countryside for burial without having to keep mourning.
However, after Xia's father sent her to be buried, he fell ill.
A man who had not been sick for many years suddenly fell ill and became seriously ill. Xia Junkai was worried and found the best doctor to treat him. Mrs. Zhou did not bother to let her son take medicine.
The atmosphere at home has been bad recently. Xia Qingqing doesn't know whether it's because of this influence or because she has become quieter as she grows up. Anyway, she hasn't been as lively as before recently.
When Chu Yunli saw this, she took her two children to the street together.
Since arriving in the capital, she hasn't taken her two children shopping much. As a little girl, shopping will make her feel better when she is unhappy.
Sure enough, after Chu Yunli helped her buy some autumn and winter clothes, Xia Qingqing's face became more smiley.
It was dull at home, so Chu Yunli took her to the medical clinic for a tour.
Shops in the capital were too expensive, so Chu Yunli only bought a small one. She had many prescriptions in her hands. People in the capital were not short of money. These medicines were sold very well and she made a lot of money. If she didn’t spend them lavishly, she would give her two
It is enough to buy clothes and jewelry for a child.
After the shopkeeper reported the matter, he added, "Someone asked about the recipe for Rongyang Pills, and I gave him the recommendation."
In the medical clinic, Xia Qingqing knew about her opening of the medical clinic. She stood behind the curtain in the lobby and looked thoughtfully at the waves of people outside.
When Chu Yunli took her to a restaurant for dinner, Xia Qingqing suddenly said, "Mom, are you very profitable?"
Chu Yunli laughed, "Just like that."
Looking at the delicious and delicious food on the table, Xia Qingqing recalled the time when she was a child and was scolded for even eating a piece of meat. She suddenly said, "Mom, I want to learn business from you."
Chu Yunli pondered for a moment, "Your father probably won't let you learn."
As for girls from official families, just learn more about female celebrities, read more books, and learn to behave and be sensible.
The little girl didn't insist anymore, but judging from her appearance, she probably had no intention of giving up for a while.
When the mother and son went downstairs, they met an acquaintance.
Sun Yan slowly led her mother-in-law upstairs. When several people passed by, she looked very complicated.
Chu Yunli didn't care what her face looked like. She hugged Xia Qingyuan and pulled Xia Qingqing all the way downstairs without looking at her.
"Mrs. Xia!"
She ignored her, but Sun Yan spoke up.
Chu Yunli turned around and said coldly, "Is there something wrong with Miss Sun?"
What was wrong with Sun Yan was that he saw her looking intently and was unhappy with her indifference.
Seeing her complicated expression but not speaking, Chu Yunli turned around and continued downstairs. Unexpectedly, before she went out, she saw Xia Junkai coming in.
Sun Yan stood at the corner of the stairs. Chu Yunli had already reached the bottom. She looked at Xia Junkai who was coming towards her. She turned back and looked at the people on the stairs. This... was a bit too coincidental.
Seeing Sun Yan there, Xia Junkai was also very surprised. He stepped forward and took Xia Qingyuan's hand, and whispered, "Dad is sick. I didn't want to come. Chen Shangshu invited me, so I can't refuse."
