Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

3The things that Mu Chen asked people to buy, were sent to the Mu Family Village s one car at a time. There were Jiangnan produced silk, cloth, Jinzhou made gelatin, and other various tonics as well as many interesting little things from various places. It didn't matter whether it was useful or not. As long as it had its eyes on it, almost all of it had been bought.    0

    

The clothes and silk could be made into clothes, supplements, and all sorts of dried aquatic products could be eaten, the rattle and little wooden carvings could also be given to the children to play with. But what the hell was that pile of jewelry and tools?    

    

He would never wear those gaudy jewelry. As for the knives, even his children couldn't play with them for the time being.    

    

"Master is really considerate. Not only did he give her supplements and food, he also gave us cloth and jewelry. Just by looking at these two sets of Jewelry, I can tell that you are being pampered." Jin Yu accompanied Shen Jingli by her side, and upon seeing the pile of jewelry, she could not help but exclaim out loud.    

    

She reached out and picked up the two sets of Jewelry s, prepared to put them in Shen Jingli's room, but discovered that there was a layer of golden leaves on the lower level of the chest, making her even more pleasantly surprised.    

    

"Madam, look, it's a layer of golden leaves. It can be seen how much the old master values you." Jin Yu was very happy in her heart. The more honored her wife was pampered, the better their future as servants.    

    

"Is there anything special about these jewelry?" Shen Jingli kept the gold leaf from the box, then turned and left the warehouse.    

    

When Jin Yu gave birth to Xun Er, they were still at the Southern Wilderness. No one had reminded them of the restrictions and conditions, so the Fourteenth Master was afraid that he had forgotten about this.    

    

She brought the two sets of Jewelry and followed along, explaining: "When a woman from a rich family gives birth to a child, regardless of whether it is the main wife or the concubine, the main family would always give out rewards, and the more they give out rewards, the more interested they would be in the family and his child. If the old lady was still here, the old lady would have come to handle the matter, but without the old lady in our house, the Master will have to do it himself."    

    

If there was actually such a rule, then it would explain why Mu Chen gave him these jewelry that he couldn't use, as a sign of how much he valued him and his child.    

    

Jin Yu kept the Jewelry in the chest in Shen Jingli's room. After locking the door, she gave the key to it to Shen Jingli.    

    

Qing Sheng was in the west wing teaching the children. As the children's clear reading sounds were transmitted over, Jin Yu subtly sighed, "Lady Qing Sheng is also very persistent, in the village …"    

    

She wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, she felt that it was inappropriate and swallowed her words.    

    

Shen Jingli was drinking red dates tea, and upon hearing her words, he raised his head and asked, "The wooden board that I asked Master Mu to make last time, did Qing Sheng take it to use?"    

    

"Madam, you didn't say how it will be used, but Madam Qing Sheng did not dare to move, and seems to be left in the warehouse. Jin Yu poured some water into Shen Jingli's cup.    

    

Shen Jingli lightly patted his forehead and said with a smile, "I have been forgetting everything."    

    

When elder sister was pregnant, he always heard her say that you were a fool for three years. Back then, he always said that elder sister was really stupid to say those words.    

    

Seeing him like that, Jin Yu laughed, "You must have been forced to the point that your head hurt, right? "Enough, I won't force you to watch 'Men's Ring' from now on."    

    

The old master didn't even care. As servants, what else could they say?    

    

Jin Yu laughed and wiped the table, feeling that Shen Jingli was truly blessed. If it was another family's wife, no matter how much her husband doted on his, his parentage would force you to learn from all angles, forcing you to get a concubine for your husband.    

    

When Shen Jingli heard her mention this matter, he only smiled and passed it over.    

    

Not long after, Qing Sheng finished his lesson, accompanied the students out, and returned to the hall. Jin Yu quickly poured him a cup of jujube tea.    

    

Qing Sheng drank red jujube tea and calmed himself down before speaking: "Recently, many children have come to ask me about arithmetic, to ask if I can give them a math lesson and teach them how to calculate."    

    

"He wants to go out to do business in the future?" Jin Yu laughed and teased.    

    

"He said he can take care of the dowry in the future." Qing Sheng also laughed, "There are a few children who want to marry into a merchant's family."    

    

Many girls and girls would rather marry a poor Elementary Scholar than a merchant, especially a family with a scholar family, who was even more unwilling to have their children marry into a merchant family.    

    

"The business is good, at least you don't have to be hungry." Shen Jingli said. Economic foundations decided to build buildings, and only by first solving the problem of warmth and hunger would one have the mood to talk about romance.    

    

Shen Jingli drank another cup of red date tea, then suddenly felt a bit hungry in his stomach, and said to Qing Sheng: "Qing Sheng, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? "    

    

As the months passed, Shen Jingli and Qing Sheng became hungrier and hungrier, especially when Shen Jingli was still carrying his twin, he was constantly feeling hungrier. Aside from eating three meals a day, he had also eaten two more meals at ten in the afternoon and three in the afternoon.    

    

Ever since he knew that Shen Jingli was pregnant with his twin, Mu Jin listened to Xu Yanlin's words and found two cook with pretty good cooking skills at Jinling City. He changed his cooking method everyday to make delicious food for Shen Jingli, afraid that he would get hungry.    

    

The two kitchen workers were very diligent. They busied themselves day in and day out, hoping that their master would comment on their cooking skills. Praising them was naturally good, but proposing improvements made them even happier.    

    

Just now during class, I didn't feel anything, but after hearing Shen Jingli talk about it, my stomach started to growl. Qing Sheng embarrassedly covered his stomach, and laughed foolishly.    

    

Shen Jingli did not laugh at him, but said: "That's just nice, I'm hungry too. Jin Yu, go to the kitchen and take a look, what delicious dishes did the kitchen lady cook?"    

    

"Alright, this servant will go now." The more Shen Jingli could eat, the happier he was. If he couldn't, then she would feel a headache.    

    

The four dishes for the afternoon were a stir-fried horse-tooth dish, a lotus leaf glutinous rice chicken, shrimp balls and sweet and sour pork ribs, plus a casserole of red dates and millet porridge, and two other dishes of pickled vegetables.    

    

Qing Sheng looked at the tasty dishes on the table, his face was filled with suspicion, and could not help but ask: "This morning was not all about the dishes, why did you change it all?"    

    

"I've finished all the dishes for the morning. These have all just been prepared." Shen Jingli invited him to have a meal together with her, and laughed: "Are you not hungry? "Hurry up and wash your hands. Let's start eating."    

    

Because Shen Jingli was easily hungry, and was very picky with his words, every meal was cooked by the kitchen lady with utmost care. The quantity was not much, and just so happened to be enough for the two of them to finish eating, or perhaps leave a little, to feed the two White-shouldered Eagle s.    

    

Qing Sheng hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he was still unable to resist the allure of the delicious food. He washed his hands, sat at the table, and started to eat with Shen Jingli.    

    

The two cooks that Mu Jin had invited over were truly skilled, the dishes they cooked were not only beautiful but also delicious. Not long later, Qing Sheng ate until his stomach was round, leaning on the chair, not wanting to move at all.    

    

"Sister-in-law, you invited this chef. Her cooking skills are quite good. If this goes on, my appetite will be raised. When Sister-in-law returns to the capital in the future, I'll probably starve day after day." Qing Sheng rubbed his stomach, his face revealing a bitter smile as he complained.    

    

Shen Jingli finished drinking the congee in his bowl and turned to look at Qing Sheng, both angry and amused, "If you like the food cooked by these two cooks, then when I leave, I'll leave them with you. Otherwise, you can just follow them and learn a few dishes.    

    

Qing Sheng thought that it was true as well. After a month, when he had settled down in his birthplace, he would be able to learn to cook from the kitchen. When he cooked in his own home in the future, Yifann and Xi Er would definitely like it.    

    

Qing Sheng thought about his husband and his son's happy looks and couldn't help but laugh, "Sister-in-law, I still want to learn how to make dim sum. Can you tell me a few ways to make dim sum?"    

    

"No problem." Shen Jingli nodded in agreement before he started talking about the wooden board, "Have you seen the board that I asked Master Mu to make last time?"    

    

Qing Sheng was eating his fill, holding onto his waist, he wanted to stand up and walk around, but hearing Shen Jingli's words, he shook his head.    

    

"That's for you to use as a writing board." Shen Jingli explained as he turned his head towards Jin Yu, "Jin Yu, go and get a board from the warehouse and a piece of charcoal in the kitchen."    

    

Jin Yu very quickly brought back a small wooden board and a small piece of charcoal. Qing Sheng didn't understand what Shen Jingli wanted to do and stared fixedly at it.    

    

The wooden board had been polished and painted with a few layers of white paint. It looked quite smooth, but the white paint was not pure, mixed with some dirt yellow impurities, it looked a little yellow. Qing Sheng saw Shen Jingli placed the wooden board on his thigh, picked up a piece of charcoal and wrote a word on it, then used a wet cloth to wipe it off, and his eyes immediately lit up with joy.    

    

"Sister-in-law, this is?" Heavens, there was actually something more powerful than a sand table in this world.    

    

"A writing board for you." Shen Jingli returned the board to Jin Yu, "Hang the big one up, and show the students how to write on it. The students can see it from the bottom of the board, and the small one will be given to the students to practice on."    

    

The principle behind the blackboard came to him when he saw Master Mu and the others working as carpenters. However, there was one thing that was not good, this black charcoal was not easy to wipe off. After using it a few more times, the dark yellow wooden board would turn into a black board and need to be painted with a new layer of white paint.    

    

Qing Sheng took the board from Jin Yu's hands and read it carefully a few times. The more he read, the happier he felt, and with this, teaching became even more convenient.    

    

Looking at his happy expression, Shen Jingli thought of his hard work these past few days and asked, "Qing Sheng, have you ever thought of running a school in the village that would specifically recruit Little Shuang and the little girls, teach them how to read and do math, and teach them all sorts of rules?"    

    

Although it was a bit difficult to implement, he could still give it a try if he had that kind of thought.    

    

Qing Sheng was scared stiff by Shen Jingli's suggestion. He didn't even dare to think about running a school.    

    

"Sister-in-law, running a school isn't a small matter, how can I …"    

    

"Why can't I?" Shen Jingli interrupted him, "You have read 'Men's Ring' before, so you have studied rules and regulations in a rich family. You can read, and you also know how to work female … These are all things that can be taught to the children in the village who want to marry, and that is what they need to learn the most. "
