Chapter 82 "Deeds"

Zhang Tieniu was worried about Li Qingyou's body, so he walked out of the house and turned to the window sill, putting his ear against the wall to listen to what was going on inside.

As a result, I heard Liu Langzhong say, "You have a weak constitution, a cold in the palace caused by a deficiency of qi and blood, plus the abdominal pain caused by the cold evil and the initial arrival of the sunflower water..."

Zhang Tieniu was stunned for a moment, and then all the blood in his body rushed to the top of his head. His dark face turned black and red, and he turned around and ran out as if he was running away.

Although he was inexperienced, he still knew what Kwai Shui was. The yamen servants in the yamen were all rough men, and men loved talking about women when they got together.

So he knows a lot.

In the room, Liu Langzhong said seriously: "...Don't underestimate this woman's disease. If your body is not treated in time, you may have difficulties in raising children in the future."

If one of the seven is childless, the husband's family can divorce his wife.

Li Qingyou's body is only thirteen years old. In her opinion, giving birth to a child is too far away. Even in this era when women can get married and have children at the age of fifteen, many girls will consider the issue of children at the age of thirteen, but

She won't.

However, she still listened to Liu Langzhong's advice and took some medicine, mainly because the dysmenorrhea was too painful.

After the prescription was filled, Adi followed Liu Langzhong to grab the medicine. Li Qingyou was the only one left in the room. She looked outside and saw that no one was there. She quickly changed into clean clothes and then took out the book from under the pillow.

look carefully.

The three words above are "Records of Actions". The title seems serious, but when I opened it, I realized that it was an ancient picture of spring and palace.

Suddenly he remembered Feng Wenru. He had taken him in for one night, but his face was red when he woke up early the next day. However, Li Qingyou didn't pay much attention when Uncle Liu and the others came to make trouble.

Afterwards, I blushed every time I saw him. Now that I think about it, it seems that it started from that morning. I guess he also saw this picture album.

It is said that it is spring, but the palace diagram is actually not complete. To put it bluntly, it is a sexual intercourse manual given to men and women before marriage in ancient times. After all, in this era of feudal backwardness, people talked about passing on the family line, but regarded this kind of thing as filthy.

Unless a powerful family has a special person to teach a boy when he is thirteen or fourteen years old, and arranges for two clean maids to wait in front of him, the remaining girls or children from poor families will basically be treated before marriage.

Know nothing about these.

Therefore, this kind of pre-marital education is still necessary.

More importantly, Li Qingyou glimpsed business opportunities from the album.

She has never studied calligraphy, and the difference between simplified and traditional Chinese characters is not small, so she can barely read it, and she doesn't even have to think about writing it.

But painting is different.

Although she had no painting skills to speak of, Li Qingyou was still very confident compared to the rough and aesthetically pleasing painting above. With this in mind, she opened the album and looked at it carefully.

The picture album is probably many years old, and the rough paper has turned yellow and is a bit shabby. It can easily break if you are not careful.

The quality of the picture is not clear either. It only outlines a simple outline, and even the lines are uneven. Some places are thick and some are thin. I don’t know whether the painter is careless or has limited skill.

From the perspective of a "well-informed" modern person, this painting is about the same as that of a primary school student, or even worse.

If she were to draw it...

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps clicking in the yard. It was Adi who had come back after grabbing the medicine.

Li Qingyou hurriedly put the album back under the pillow, pulled up the quilt and pretended to sleep.

My brother tiptoed into the house. Seeing that she was sleeping, he didn't dare to disturb her, so he went to the stove to cook some medicine.

Pour the herbs into the pot one by one, add two bowls of water as Liu Langzhong said, stuff a few branches and grass under the stove, take out the flint and light the hay, take the bamboo tube on the side and face it inside

Blow hard.

As soon as he breathed, the expected flames did not start, and thick smoke spurted out, choking my brother and coughing.

Adi learned cooking from Xiaoshan Niang, but he didn't learn the skill of making fire. Li Qingyou usually made the fire and made preparations, so he only needed to stand in front of the stove and control the heat.

Seeing the thick smoke billowing in front of me, my brother was a little scared.

Streams of black smoke rolled out from the stove, which filled the stove with black mist. Those who didn't know thought it was a goblin.

My brother was so frightened that he remembered that water can extinguish fires, so he hurriedly poured water on the stove. However, instead of losing the black smoke, there was more and more black smoke.

"Sister, run quickly, it's on fire, cough cough..." Adi turned around and ran towards the east room.

Li Qingyou was really angry this time, thinking that she had to teach her brother a lesson no matter what, so she ignored him when he came back and planned to let him go for a few days before talking.

When Adi was at home, she couldn't take out the "Book of Deeds" to read, so she squinted her eyes and pretended to be asleep. In addition, she was weak, so she squinted for a while and actually fell asleep.

At this moment, Adi woke up suddenly. She was choked and coughing as she turned around under the light. Before she could ask what happened, she heard a female voice from the outer room, "Hey, what's going on? It's on fire."

What's going on?"

The person who came was Aunt Sun who lived in the east courtyard. She was carrying a small bag of beans, ready to exchange for tofu.

In this era, in addition to using money to buy things, you can also barter. A pound of beans can be exchanged for a pound of tofu, which is equivalent to five pieces of tofu.

However, Li Qingyou can only exchange it for three yuan, but her tofu cubes are plentiful, a little more than the five yuan sold by others, so although the price of engraved tofu has increased in name, people are still willing to come to her to buy it.

"Second Aunt Sun." Li Qingyou also came out of the east room with her brother. She was also frightened. This house was where she and her brother settled down. If it burned down, nothing would be lost.

Second Aunt Sun ignored talking to Li Qingyou and stepped into the kitchen. Fortunately, in the summer, the door and window were open, so the smoke could escape in time, and it was not as smoky as before.

Second Aunt Sun understood what was going on after just one look. She poured a ladle of water into the stove and finally solved the problem.

"Quick, fan quickly, this is choking." Second Aunt Sun covered her mouth and nose with one hand and took off her apron with the other to drive away the black smoke.

Li Qingyou and Adi were also helping behind. The three of them worked for a while and finally dispersed the smoke, and then returned to the main room.

"Auntie, please sit down and drink some water and rest." Li Qingyou also sat down beside her, took the teapot and was about to pour water when she realized that it was empty.

Adite took the teapot with discernment, ran to the stove, poured out two bowls of cooled hawthorn water, and placed one bowl in front of Aunt Sun, "Auntie, drink water."

Another bowl was placed in front of Li Qingyou, his face slightly lowered and he looked pitifully at her, "Sister, drink water too."

Li Qingyou ignored him and didn't even look at him.
