The prince was sick, and the government and the opposition were all worried about it.

At this time, in the city of Tingzhou, Shen Xi's mother Zhou also fell ill, and she was sick for several days, bedridden, and even her strength was about to be exhausted.

Since Su Tong's letter of distress came back, Zhou's couldn't afford to be sick, and the family originally opened a pharmacy, but the doctor Xie Yun'er was not there, and Zhou's illness had to ask for a doctor from outside, but Lu's pharmacy almost offended all the doctors inside and outside the city, and when Zhou's got sick, he couldn't even invite a doctor to see a doctor, and he had to go to Ganzhou, Jiangxi next door to ask.

Let the doctor diagnose in detail, in fact, Zhou's is not seriously ill, it is said that he is infected with wind and cold, plus a little heart disease, and a little woman's disease left by confinement, these diseases are mixed together, and people are embarrassed, in addition to sitting on the bed in a daze every day, they just keep chattering.

“…… Han Wa'er must have provoked the evil star, he is so capable, our mother and son have a fate in their last life to be a mother and son in this life, and this time God is going to take him back. ”

The most helpless is Zhou's pillow man and Shen Xi's cheap father Shen Mingjun.

Knowing that his son was imprisoned for being involved in a case, his wife suddenly fell ill, and the whole family had to rely on him to support him, take care of his wife and a pair of children, and go to the printing workshop from time to time to keep an eye on it, so busy that his feet did not touch the ground.

In fact, since this year, business has been very sluggish.

With the rise of the printing industry in Tingzhou, the people have risen a wave of storytelling, comic book fever, but the good times did not last long, last year the south began to make a plague of insects, the farmland failed, the people have less money in hand, and even entertainment has to be put aside temporarily, plus Shen Xi has been studying for two years, can not focus on writing a book and drawing a new comic book, so that the printing workshop has no new products in the past two years, just rely on the end of the year to print some New Year's pictures, to maintain the business.

Business at pharmacies is also clearly declining.

Seeing that Lu's pharmacy has a considerable profit from operating prescription medicines, large and small pharmacies in the city have started a prescription business, and even the prescriptions that Lu's pharmacy has been strictly confidential have gradually been explored by peers, in the era of no intellectual property protection, as long as the prescription is leaked, the profits will be diluted, and the final comparison is not the efficacy, but the price.

This time, Zhou was sick, and Hui Niang was too busy to do so, so she simply closed the pharmacy.

After learning the news of Shen Xi's imprisonment, Hui Niang suddenly lost the motivation to do business, and she handed over the matter of the silver number to the hired chief treasurer, as for the scattered sand within the Chamber of Commerce, without Shen Xi's planning for her, she couldn't suppress the jackals and tigers in the Chamber of Commerce who fought endlessly for personal gain.

"The body is not afraid of the shadow, Xiaolang can learn well, he is a person who is admitted by real ability, as long as the court distinguishes between right and wrong, he will definitely give Xiaolang a justice, maybe he has come out now and is studying too much." Hui Niang went to the Shen family to visit the Zhou family when she was fine, but these comforting words made even her feel pale and powerless.

Zhou didn't cry or make trouble, just shook his head: "He is an immortal in the sky, and when he comes down to earth, he will go back after all." ”

Hui Niang couldn't help wiping her tears and said sadly: "My sister said these words, it's really uncomfortable. Wasn't Xiaolang painstakingly cultivated by his sister? If he didn't have his sister to fight for him, where would he have the opportunity to study in enlightenment, and how could he have the opportunity to solve the yuan in high school? The Shen family has to rely on her sister to support, don't Xiaolang didn't have an accident, but my sister's side collapsed first. ”

Zhou seemed to think of something, looked out the window, and said, "yes, I haven't been to the pharmacy for a few days, and Yun'er thinks the shop is okay?" It's time for me to go over and help her...... She's my good daughter-in-law......"

Hui Niang sighed, her sister thinks crankily every day, and she doesn't even remember that Xie Yun'er went to the capital, in this state, how can she rest assured that the Zhou family will take care of the pharmacy again?

However, Lu'er, who came with Hui Niang, said: "Auntie, the young lady went to the capital to look for the young master, and she hasn't come back yet." ”

Zhou's face became sad again, and after a while, she seemed to have the strength, crawled out of the bed, got dressed and went to the ground, looking full of energy:

"Hanwa'er wants to go where he should go, I can't let him worry about the family, the Shen family still wants me to support him. Sister, the pharmacy can't be left unattended. ”

"Sister, if you take a few more days off, the business of the pharmacy will not be tightened......"

Zhou shook his head: "No, no, my illness, the conscienceless person didn't even dare to tell Ninghua, for fear that the old lady would be worried, if I had three long and two short, and sent less silver back, the old lady would definitely notice the abnormality...... I've got to hold on, Hanwa'er...... Woowoo woo ......"

Speaking of Shen Xi, Zhou couldn't help but whimper, "It's all my fault, I always beat him and scold him, he must feel that when he goes down to the world, his life is not good, and he has to go back to heaven...... It's me who is sorry for him......"

……

……

At Zhou's insistence, the pharmacy reopened.

Just like before the closing, business was bleak, few people came in to buy medicine a day, all the customers who came came were familiar medicines, even so, Zhou often took the wrong medicine, fortunately there was Xiaoyu next to him to take care of, otherwise sooner or later there would be chaos.

Xiaoyu does things decently, that is, she doesn't like words, she is silent on weekdays, let her be Zhou and Xie Yun'er's assistant to manage the pharmacy, she can do it easily, because she only needs to calculate accounts on weekdays, but let her be the shopkeeper to communicate with guests, she seems a little wooden.

"It's time for Xiaoyu to get married."

Somehow Zhou noticed the poor girl.

Xiaoyu is not a little girl, she was sold to Ninghua at the age of fourteen, and now she is over twenty years old, if she hadn't signed a deed of sale, she would have married at this age.

Zhou and Hui Niang always want to find a good family to marry the maids around them, but in the past two years, Shen Xi has always been running around to take the imperial examination, and there is no one at home to take care of them.

Hui Niang returned to the pharmacy from the main hall of the Chamber of Commerce, saying that she was helping, but in fact, she was talking to Zhou, she sighed lightly: "It's better to find a good family to marry now." ”

Or because Shen Xi had an accident in the capital, Hui Niang wanted to stop her business, buy more land, and become a big landlord with peace of mind. Even the maids around her, she felt that she should fulfill her promise back then and make a good promise to her family.

Xiaoyu cried: "Grandma, aunt, slave maid will follow you all your life and will not marry." ”

Zhou touched Xiaoyu's head, as if he was treating his own daughter, full of pity: "Silly girl, you are not very old, and in a few years, you will know the importance of having a man by your side." When you are troubled, there is someone who comforts you and spoils you, and he will bring you children and grandchildren around his knees, and will accompany you to the end of his life...... Alas, my miserable little girl......"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Zhou's words were said to Xiaoyu, but in such a lonely atmosphere, Hui Niang inevitably felt sorry for her life experience, and she also had something to be thankful for, that is, she had a daughter.

Now Lu Xi'er is eleven years old, not very old, but in the days when Shen Xi and Lin Dai are not here, her daughter has grown up very quickly and gradually has the responsibility of an adult. However, Hui Niang didn't dare to tell her daughter the news of Shen Xi's accident, because she was afraid that her daughter would make trouble, and she would be annoyed enough.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside, and it was very lively.

Because the pharmacy is located in the west of Tingzhou Prefecture, it is some distance from the north of the city, which is the most prosperous and lively city in the city, even if it is lively outside, I don't know what happened.

Zhou looked outside and sighed: "It has always been other people's families who are happy and their own sorrows, this world is really unfair......

Hui Niang smiled reluctantly.

If it were normal times, she would definitely make fun of her good sister, haven't you been happy enough in the past two years? Twins are born at one time, and the dragon and phoenix are auspicious; The eldest son was admitted to the school to show his talents and raise people, and was selected as a student to enter the capital; Mother and son are filial, there is a high hall at home, and there is a husband to accompany them when they go home.

How enviable is that?

But at this time, Hui Niang couldn't even say a joke, she tried not to mention Shen Xi in front of the Zhou family.

The bustling sound in the distance seemed to be closer, coming to the west of the city, there was the sound of gongs and drums, and people were shouting something, but the sound was too far away to be heard clearly.

There was no business in the pharmacy, and Hui Niang said to Lu'er, who was sitting next to her peeling beans: "Go and see, why is it so lively outside, is it a family to welcome relatives?" ”

"Okay, Grandma."

Lu'er put down the dustpan and trotted out all the way, and came back after a while, but he looked puzzled, shook his head and said, "Grandma, it's a little far away from us, I can't see it clearly, but it looks very lively, someone is carrying a sedan chair, like the official sedan chair of the Yamen." ”

Zhou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, what does he do?" The first two years were also at this time, Han Wa'er passed the county exam, and it was so lively, hey, I knew not to let him go to the exam so early, the people in the officialdom were all snobs, seeing that Han Wa'er was young, who would not bully him...... Woooooooo ”

Lu'er wiped her tears: "Auntie, don't cry, if you cry again, we will cry too, and we feel sorry for the young master." ”

The noise outside has not stopped, gongs and drums are ringing in unison, the drum music is noisy, and the sound of firecrackers resounds through the city, which is very lively. Near the street where the pharmacy is located, there are longing figures, noisy noises, and a loud buzzing sound, but I can't hear what is being said, but the suona sound of "woo wow woo wow" is getting closer and closer.

The more worried she is, the joy of other people's families is the most upsetting, Hui Niang got up and stood up, wanting to see whose family is so good at picking time, but adding chaos when others are the most sad, before she walked to the door, she heard someone in the news preach everywhere: "...... Three-dollar and first, three-dollar and first-......"

In a word, Hui Niang is not very stable, although she has not participated in the imperial examination, she has still heard of the term "three yuan and first". Behind her, Zhou asked strangely: "What are you talking about outside, is it a talent in a family of prime ministers?" ”

Hui Niang's heart was beating "bang", she quickly turned around and said to Zhou: "Sister, it's not someone else's family, but ...... It could be Xiaolang...... Xiao Lang...... Xiaolang, he seems to be ...... Admitted to the ...... Shape...... Champion......

Zhou's face was sad: "Han Wa'er is still in prison, isn't it my sister thinking of him in her heart, and when I hear others say who is who, I think of him?" Alas, so am I. ”

Hui Niang herself was confused, did she really hear it?

She hurriedly pricked up her ears to listen, but the loud noise had already muffled the shouting, and she couldn't hear what it was at all, and she couldn't help muttering: "That's the third yuan and the first ...... If you don't win the solution, even if you win the member and the champion, is it considered a three-yuan and the first? ”
