Chapter 32 Stability
Xunmei's residence was located next to the school grounds. It was a simple courtyard with two rooms.
The school field is located on the outskirts of the palace. It is not far from the stables, so it is easy to get in and out.
The room had been tidied up. Meng Yuan left Zhao Datou to talk to Old Man Jiang while he took Jiang Tang out to buy things.
The palace is in charge of food and housing, but now Meng Yuan has higher requirements for food, so he plans to build a small stove.
Don’t ask for a small meal every time, at least eat one meal every day.
Moreover, Old Man Jiang is not in good health and needs to take medicine to recuperate his body. The little girl also needs to eat something good.
He bought pots, pans, bedding and bedding. Meng Yuan also bought ten pounds of mutton, half a pound of sesame candy, and some candied fruits.
"Today can be considered a housewarming celebration. Uncle Big Tou and Tieniu are here, as well as two new friends. Let's eat something good at home." Meng Yuan pinched a piece of sesame candy from the oil paper bag and stuffed it into Jiang Tang's mouth. , asked: "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious!" Jiang Tang chewed lightly, and his big round eyes brightened up, and he asked with a satisfied look: "Brother, what is housewarming?"
"It's just moving." Meng Yuan put the paper bag into Jiang Tang's hand, tapped her forehead, "Read and read with me tonight."
While talking like this, Meng Yuan got angry and went to buy pen, ink, paper, inkstone and several collections of Mongolian texts.
After returning to his residence, he tidied up a little and cooked the mutton, then Meng Yuan called Zhao Tieniu, Wu Changsheng and Hu Qian.
Zhao Datou saw that Hu Qian was beautiful, tall and well-born. She was obviously a young lady. He used to be quite eloquent, but now when he met noble people, he was polite and humblely toasted to them.
"Miss Hu, my Tieniu is stupid and can't speak. Please take care of her. If you know a suitable girl, please pay more attention to her. We don't care about our origins and looks, as long as she can live a steady life." Zhao Datou apologized.
Now that Tieniu has learned martial arts and has no worries about food and drink, Zhao Datou has no desire and only wants to arrange a marriage for Tieniu as soon as possible.
Poor families are like this. When they are young, they worry about getting married and having children. When they are old, they worry about their children's marriage. They worry about it all their lives.
This goes on for generations, until a certain generation can no longer survive and their bloodline is cut off, so there is no need to worry.
Hu Qian was a polite person and did not mean to look down on Mud Legs at all. She only said: "I will help him pay attention."
After ten kilograms of mutton were cooked, only seven or eight kilograms were left, and a group of people sat around and started eating.
Chive flower sauce is the most delicious when paired with mutton, but it has a slightly spicy taste. Hu Qian took a few bites and saw that everyone felt uncomfortable here, so she said she would go back to wash clothes and then left.
After Hu Qian left, Zhao Datou became more natural, and Wu Changsheng dared to eat meat.
"Xiao Meng is sensible and capable. How can Teacher Nie not like Xiao Meng? Why let him be your leader? Come on, Brother Wu, I'll toast you, and you can help worry about Tieniu's marriage."
"Uncle Big Head, do it!"
The two of them kept chatting, Meng Yuan didn't say much, and just ate with Tieniu.
Wu Changsheng and Zhao Tieniu have been warned by Meng Yuan that they are not allowed to mention the fight, nor are they allowed to mention the business trip.
After fussing for a long time, the mutton was finished. After chatting for a while and seeing off Tieniu and Wu Changsheng, Meng Yuan came to Jiang Tang's room and taught her how to read.
"Brother, you and grandpa both have careers, what do I do?" Jiang Tang asked while writing his name.
"We'll talk about it first." Meng Yuan hadn't thought about it yet, and planned to let the girl read and read at home for the time being, and make arrangements later.
Of course, if you want to arrange a job, look for Mei. But Meng Yuan didn't want this girl to do the work of serving tea and water. Anyway, now that she has money, she just needs to take care of her first.
On the second day, after seeing off Zhao Datou, Meng Yuan took Uncle Jiang and his grandson to the hospital for treatment.
When we arrived at the place, we saw many people waiting, and the doctor was checking the pulse inside.
This medical center is called Jimin Medical Center. It was Hu Qian who introduced him, saying that he was very famous, and that her mother came here every month to get Ping An’s pulse.
Meng Yuan had experience in dealing with wine trustees. He liked to ask the price first for everything, so he directly grabbed an apprentice to ask the price.
"The consultation fee is five taels, plus the prescriptions and materials. Depending on the distance, the consultation fee is ten taels in the south city and twenty taels in the north city. It is extra for rainy and snowy days, and it is doubled for the midnight consultation. No credit is allowed." The apprentice said.
"It costs five taels to check the pulse?" Meng Yuan wanted to change his career.
Yesterday I bought wine, meat, and various other things. Pens, ink, paper, and inkstones were very expensive. I spent more than eighty taels, and only twenty-one taels were left.
But now that you have come, the more expensive it is, the more expensive it is. Money is borrowed, not saved.
After waiting for more than half an hour, it was finally Uncle Jiang's turn.
The three of them went inside together and saw that the doctor was an old man with a white beard. He looked like a fairy, and he seemed trustworthy at first glance.
"You suffered a lot when you were young, and you have been injured recently. As you get older, don't you have many problems? Don't do heavy work when you go back. I will prescribe some medicine for you to recover." The old doctor wrote down the diagnosis. , very neat.
Meng Yuan thought to himself, since he came and spent the money, he might as well let others feel his pulse.
"The pulse is strong and strong, and the blood is strong. It is not a bad thing to exercise your muscles and bones when you are young. Well, marry a wife as soon as possible to relieve the anger." The old doctor made a diagnosis. Then came Jiang Tang again.
"There's nothing wrong with the little girl, she's just a little thinner. It seems she was hungry, or she would have had her menarche earlier. Go back and eat more good food, and talk to your aunt and sister-in-law more." The old doctor is old and does not shy away from gynecology. , say whatever you want.
Meng Yuan saw that what he said was true and that he was indeed capable, so he quickly thanked him heartily.
I went out to grab the medicine, which together with the consultation fee cost me eleven taels.
Uncle Jiang's grandson's flesh ached terribly. As the head of the family and the backbone of the family, Meng Yuan could not show his timidity and could only act calm and calm.
Feeling sorry for the money, Meng Yuan still bought two more pieces of cloth, planning to give the little girl two new clothes to wear.
Now I only have seven taels of silver left in my hand.
The three of them returned to the palace together. Jiang Shuanyou was still responsible for the horse doctor, so he went to the stables to find the steward to recognize him.
After a lot of work, I finally settled down.
Back at the school grounds, Meng Yuan practiced the Guangfeng Sword Technique again to build up his strength.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Master Nie didn't show up until dark. Meng Yuan had no one to borrow money from, so he could only indulge in practicing.
When he returned to his residence late at night, Meng Yuan was very relieved to find Jiang Tang still sitting at his desk holding a candle.
But when I opened the door, I saw this girl sewing clothes. It was her middle coat.
"Brother," Jiang Tang saw Meng Yuan coming. She stood up with her middle coat in hand, "Why is this clothes torn?"
She didn't mean to worry about the clothes, but she walked around Meng Yuan twice curiously, as if to see if Meng Yuan was injured.
It can be seen that this girl is not stupid and can see some clues.
"The dog in Yaozhuang got lost. I went into the mountain to look for it. It was scratched and it's not in the way." Meng Yuan said.
"Then you have to be careful, there are a lot of wolves in the mountains!" Jiang Tang didn't believe it, grabbed Meng Yuan's hand, rolled up his sleeves and looked inside, then reached in and touched, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he felt relieved. .
"The mutton is still stewed on the stove. I'll bring it to you." She went out happily and came back quickly.
Now that he still has money, Meng Yuan plans to eat a meat meal every night. Old Man Jiang and Jiang Tang also need meat to supplement their food.
With this extra meal every day, the food in the school cafeteria would not be left behind. Meng Yuan estimated that it would take at least a month for the Jinghuo to be complete again.
Five days in a row passed, Meng Yuan indulged in martial arts practice, and all the acupoints on his right arm were opened.
Master Nie never showed up, and Meng Yuan didn't go out to look for him.
Zhang Guinian had previously hinted that he would seduce Master Nie's rich widowed daughter, but Meng Yuan only thought about it when he got up in the morning, but once he started practicing, he didn't think about anything else.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, no matter how fragrant and warm her body is, she can't feel as comfortable as practicing the Guangfeng Knife Technique twice!
I can't put it down for the 200-pound stone grinder, but I sneer at the 80-pound beauty!
Besides, the seductress is very particular about being a pan-ass and Deng Xiaoxian. Pan Lvxiao naturally has it, but Deng Hexian does not.
Moreover, Meng Yuan considers himself an upright gentleman. It is not advisable to seduce the young widow. The right way is to focus on practicing martial arts!
This morning, Meng Yuan got up before dawn.
The spring breeze in February is as sharp as scissors, and it's still a bit chilly.
"Brother," Jiang Tang had already come out of her hut, "getting up so early every day to practice martial arts is more tiring than shoveling cow dung in the ranch!"
"How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without being chilled to the bone?" Meng Yuan squeezed her hand. Seeing that it was warm, he took her hand into the room and wrote this to her, "I want to learn it today."< br>
While talking, Meng Yuan braided her hair again.
"Brother, do you still want to eat mutton tonight?" Jiang Tang asked.
Nowadays, Meng Yuan eats two kilograms of mutton every day, which he eats as a late-night snack after returning from school.
Meng Yuan gave Jiang Tang five taels of silver, and the little girl became a housekeeper. In addition to practicing calligraphy and reading books every day, she also went out to do shopping, and she already knew how to make an abacus.
"Brother, the money is almost gone." Jiang Tang whispered.
"..." A penny stumped the heroic man, Meng Yuan's expression remained unchanged, and he pinched her little face, "Don't save money, I will give it to you after you spend it. You can't miss one pig's trotters every day, you know?" ?”
Jiang Tang obediently rubbed his face against Meng Yuan's hand.
Now Master Nie has been away from school for several days, and he can’t find anyone to borrow money from! Meng Yuan decided that if Master Nie didn't come today, he would go to Zuiyue Tower to eat and drink for free!
