Good luck every time

After the experience of taking the medicinal bath last time, Li Ruyi's mood was much calmer this time.

However, all her preparations were in vain.

This time, the medicinal bath did not cause any pain, but instead caused an excruciating numbness and itchiness.

Li Ruyi couldn't stand it any longer, so she sat in the bathtub to meditate, hoping to relieve the tingling and numbness that was everywhere.

Her mind seemed to be covered with weeds, and it was difficult for her to concentrate on meditation, but any noise would wake her up.

Li Ruyi could only try again and again, while using his internal energy to absorb the medicinal power in the bathtub.

The more the drug was absorbed, the more uncomfortable she felt.

But at the same time, she also knew that getting through this period would be beneficial to her health.

Granny Ding's medicine was not intended to increase her internal strength, and Li Ruyi's internal strength did not increase much either.

It's just that her body is stronger.

This time, she didn't need to be locked in the room for the medicinal bath. When she was practicing martial arts early the next morning, she punched the wooden stake she used for training, causing it to crack.

Although the internal force of the wooden stake had been broken by her hammering, based on her usual strength, it would take at least one or two months to break it.

Nowadays, just one medicinal bath can achieve this effect. No wonder it is said that most of the masters in the world are monopolized by sects!

This time the medicinal bath is still taken at intervals, but the intervals are longer, once every seven days, for a total of seven soaks.

In addition to daily acupuncture, Li Ruyi also has to take two hours every day to meditate to absorb the medicinal power.

The effect is most significant the first time, and the changes become smaller and smaller afterwards, but the foundation becomes more and more solid.

After 49 days of acupuncture, Li Ruyi had another breakthrough!

Granny Ding was also surprised. Li Ruyi didn't look like a genius at all, but she didn't expect him to make a breakthrough so quickly.

Fearing that her foundation was not solid, Granny Ding asked someone to give her an extra exercise.

That means getting beaten!

The stability of the foundation is all determined by fighting!

Li Ruyi had to constantly use his internal energy to resist the blows from Li Ershi and Li Shiwu, and he had to train to his limit every time.

From the heavy snow day, I practiced directly to the clear sky.

After Li Ruyi finished taking the medicinal bath, the second person she met was Han Shian.

Fortunately, Han Shian brought his own herbs and didn't have to spend any money on Li Ruyi.

Although he didn't have much money, the medicine he used was not good either.

Han Shian is not young anymore, and the help from external forces will be greatly discounted. Spending twenty strings of coins more or twenty strings of coins less will not make much difference.

Of course, if the difference is more than 2,000 strings of cash, the difference will still be very obvious!

Too bad he didn't.

Han Shian asked for leave from the academy, and Han Shiyu lived with him. He would occasionally go home to visit, but most of the time he spent learning literacy and practicing martial arts with Han Shian.

He has no talent for martial arts, but he makes rapid progress in his studies.

It is already very difficult for a person to specialize in one thing. No matter whether it is Han Shian or Li Ruyi, they did not have any extra requirements for Han Shiyu, and they never thought that he would be proficient in both civil and military affairs.

Only the third sister was concerned about her little apprentice's recent situation all day long, and would come to her from time to time to get criticized for reciting an article too poorly.

This time, Grandma Ding deliberately postponed the third child's medicinal bath time, also wanting to accumulate more experience.

She also discovered that it was easier to deal with the big ones, and the small ones should be left for later!

By the end of the forty-nine days, Han Shiyu was able to perform a set of beautiful and fancy boxing moves.

As the weather warms up, Li Ruyi becomes busy again.

The medicinal materials for Li Er and Lao San were also prepared, and Li Ruyi started to stock up on food with the remaining money.

The natural disasters this year are not serious and are far from the point of eating one's own children.

And there is surplus food from the previous year, so the most difficult times are the end of this year and next year.

However, when the young crops in the fields began to become diseased, grain prices in the county began to soar.

By the next year, food prices will be even more outrageous.

The villagers had a poor harvest and the tax money had not decreased, so their lives were extremely difficult and many of them even sold their children.

Li Ruyi can't help too many people.

Her abilities are limited, and she can only help the people around Sanjia Village.

Besides, she won't help directly.

She understands the principle of gratitude better than anyone else.

She can only guarantee that those who starved to death in the previous life will have a chance to survive in this life.

But if someone wants to die, there is nothing she can do.

Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost. She respects life and the fate of others.

Li Ruyi's grain hoarding incident was not made a big deal.

She has a thorough understanding of the situation in the county and knows exactly which family wants to sell grain.

She bought a batch years ago.

When buying, she also persuaded people to keep more. The grain she bought from the villagers she was familiar with was cheaper than in the county town, and those villagers also made more money than if they sold it to the county.

It's a happy occasion for everyone.

After the New Year, she bought another batch and transported it back to the village after dark. Occasionally, people would not think it strange if they saw it. Li Ruyi's family's land had not yet produced grain, so it was normal for her to buy grain to eat.

When Han Shian returned to the academy, Li Ruyi remembered that he was already fifteen years old this year, and the once-in-three-years autumn examination would be held this year.

It’s a pity that he hasn’t passed the examination to become a scholar, so the autumn examination has nothing to do with him.

He won't be able to start the exam until next year.

Thinking of the Autumn Examination, Li Ruyi inevitably thought of Li Xi.

Li Xi passed the provincial examination but failed the academy examination. He has no chance this year and will have to take the examination for the scholar next year with Han Shian.

It seems that Li Laoliu's plan is doomed to fail!

Hard work can determine that a person’s lower limit will not be too low, but talent determines how high a person’s upper limit can be.

Li Xi was not a talented person, and the Li family's expectation for him was to become a juren.

Now it seems that there is still a long way to go!

After Han Shian left, Li Er prepared to start the medicinal bath.

Li Ruyi took Li Shiwu and Li Shiliu out to do business.

The two men's martial arts skills are average, but they are young and strong men with enough food and drink and full of blood. They can scare people when they are taken out.

Moreover, Li Shiliu is more smooth-talking than Li Er.

Li Er is already a good businessman, and Li Shiliu is three points stronger than him.

This person is so shameless and humble that it's simply outrageous.

Li Ruyi looked at his servile behavior and worried from time to time whether he would be stabbed in the back by him.

Fortunately, he has two good elders in his family. Although the children in the family have their own tempers, there is still a bottom line.

Under the influence of Li Shiliu, Li Shiwu felt more and more like a waste.

He was a little depressed and disheartened, worried that his job would be squeezed out by others.

Li Ruyi had no way to comfort him. Whenever she opened her mouth, Li Shiwu would lower his head and nod continuously, and then he would do something that would open Li Ruyi's eyes.

He always made mistakes because he was too nervous. Li Ruyi was helpless and could only give the task of training Li Shiwu to Li Er.

The two are brothers, and Li Ruyi really has no intention of eliminating Li Shiwu.

What she has to do requires too many people, and every trustworthy person is very important to her.

After being taught a lesson by Li Er for two days, Li Shiwu finally recovered!

Of course, there are still some differences.

Under Li Shiliu's stimulation, his brain, which had been silent, started to work.

Otherwise, those shop owners all like their subordinates to roll up their sleeves!
