Chapter 22 The Cannon Fodder Uncle in the Imperial Examination 9

Yu Xiang followed the old doctor's medicine boy to get the medicine. The old doctor also began to prepare to remove the needles. The old doctor asked Yu Hang and others to prepare a bowl of water, and then asked A Niang to take an embroidery needle from her sewing kit and soak it in A Die's wine glass to disinfect it. Then he used the embroidery needle to prick Er Zhu's temple half a finger behind. The pierced place slowly turned into a small blood-red dot. Slowly, the old doctor began to remove the needles. Every time a needle was pulled out, the small blood-red dot grew a little bigger. When all the needles on Er Zhu's head were pulled out, there became a blood bead the size of a grain of rice.

At this time, the second brother Yu Xiang was also about to come back. The old doctor asked Yu Xiang to boil the medicine with three bowls of water until it became one bowl, and then gave it to Er Zhu to drink. "If you don't have a fever tonight, you should be able to wake up tomorrow morning. Then I'm late." The old doctor took the medicine boy and prepared to take the medicine box and leave. Liu quickly took two of the three silver ingots that Yu Hang had just given her and gave them to the old doctor and the little medicine boy.

"Xiaohang, I just paid Erzhu for medicine to see the doctor. We don't have much money left at home. When your elder brother comes back, you can go to the county with your elder and second brothers to use this as household expenses." Liu turned back to her room and took out a silver bracelet weighing about two taels and gave it to Yuhang. Then she took out a small silver coin from her bosom and gave it to Yuhang: "This is for your living expenses."

Yuhang didn't take it, but looked at Liu and said, "No need, mother. I still have money. I have already written part of the picture book I have recently conceived, and it will be completed in a few days. I can earn more than ten taels of silver just by writing this picture book, so mother, don't worry about my tuition and living expenses. Even the money for pens, ink, paper and inkstone is enough for my son."

Looking at her son's childish face, Liu felt both sad and sweet. Although she and the old man valued this eldest son more, she saw that her son was really filial, and he could earn money for the family at a young age. Since her son started copying books and writing storybooks last year, the family's money had basically not been used on his pens, ink, paper and inkstone, so the family was able to save some money. Now that Erzhu was sick, all the money had been spent. (Let me explain a little here! The Yu family was not wealthy. They had ten acres of fertile land and fifteen acres of dry land. Due to the low grain production in ancient times and the large family, although the children in the family could read, they were all taught by Liu herself. In the end, the two elder brothers were sent to school to change the family background. As a result, the two elder brothers were not good at studying. Therefore, the family was not only poor but also in financial difficulties. Since Liu's father was a scholar, Liu still had a little dowry. However, in order to support the two elder brothers' studies and the marriages of the elder brothers and sisters, she pawned two silver hairpins and a pair of gold earrings. Now, the only thing left is this solid silver bracelet that she couldn't bear to pawn.)

"Xiao Hang, mother knows that you have always been very sensible, but this money is given to you by mother, so just take it. Your two elder brothers also used mother and father to pay for their books. Now that you are going to school in the county, it was mother and father who paid for your first year. In the second year, you started copying books to earn money at home. Now that Erzhu is injured, you still took out the money, so just take this money and use it with peace of mind!"

"Mother..." Yuhang looked at his mother holding his hand. His mother was obviously the daughter of a scholar and was pampered when she was at her grandfather's house, but now her hands were so rough.
