The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

The Lin family seemed to be aware of all this.

Lin Xiaoman probably guessed that maybe the guy had another trick up his sleeve to welcome the guests.

Fortunately, Shopkeeper Tong and the young master behind him still had some moral principles and did not push them out.

Firstly, the young master is a scholar, and he has some sense of loyalty as a scholar, and he would not do such a thing as abandoning the donkey after it has done its work.

Secondly, I feel that the Lin family has other values. Only if Ruyilou shows enough attitude can we have long-term cooperation in the future.

After a few rains, the weather turned cooler.

The Lin family’s breakfast shop business is getting better and better.

Hot and juicy steamed dumplings, golden and crispy fried dumplings, and thin, crispy and refreshing pancakes.

After halfway through the morning, you can smell the aroma of the steamed buns following the curling mist.

Just order a basket of it, paired with some hot soy milk or tofu pudding from Ruyilou, and you’ll feel warm all over.

"Miss Xiaoman, give me two baskets of juicy dumplings."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Xiaoman looked up.

It is the peace around Gu Changsheng.

"Okay, are you buying it for Master Gu?"

The two met each other often and were familiar with each other, so the other party didn't think much about it when asked.

"Yes, the young master said that the medicine was too bitter, and he sent me to buy it despite the master's dissuasion." Ping'an's face was full of worry.

After he was bought by the master, he stayed by the young master's side. The young master was kind to others and the master had been kind to him, so he wished he could suffer for the young master.

"Master Gu has been coughing all the time, or does he cough in the morning or after falling asleep?" Lin Xiaoman asked casually.

"I usually cough, and I cough more in the morning and right after falling asleep, especially right after falling asleep. It almost kills me to cough."

The fact that Ping'an could say this proves that these are not secrets in Dayi Town.

Not to mention the doctors in Dayi Town, even the famous doctors in Lin'an Prefecture had almost all examined Gu Changsheng's pulse.

"Have you made any new food recently?"

As soon as Lin Xiaoman asked this question, he felt that his question was a bit redundant.

Young Master Gu has been like this since he was a child, which proves that the things that make him allergic must be quite common.

When Ping An was about to answer, Lin Xiaoman asked again: "There are many flowers planted in the mansion, right?"

Ping An was a little overwhelmed to react for a moment.

Why is Miss Xiaoman so incoherent today? One moment she's asking what new food is made in the mansion, and the next moment she's asking about the flowers in the mansion.

Could it be that Miss Xiaoman wants to go for a visit?

It’s not impossible, but we have to wait until the young master recovers from his illness.

The master is watching closely now, and no outsiders are allowed in.

But Miss Xiaoman will probably be disappointed. Judging from the young master's condition in previous years, he will probably have to wait until the flowers fade before he gets better.

"There are several masters in the mansion who love to grow flowers. There are roses that bloom every month, yellow and white autumn chrysanthemums, and hibiscus that has bloomed the most recently."

Seeing that Ping An spoke so convincingly, Lin Jingzhe couldn't help but make a joke.

"What's the matter? Could it be that the flowers grown by your masters are more beautiful than anyone else's?"

Ping An nodded, "Yes! In February, the magnolias are more beautiful than the crabapples, in April, the lotuses are more beautiful than the roses that bloom every month. But even though the roses are called "Monthly Red", they don't bloom in the hot summer or in winter."

Lin Xiaoman felt relieved.

Gu Changsheng's cough occurs more often in spring and autumn, and less frequently in summer and winter, which is clearly related to the flowers in the yard.

Nowadays, if you want to know what you are allergic to, you can just draw blood to find out.

But this was not the case in ancient times, as people here didn’t even know what allergies were.

"Ping'an, doesn't that mean there will be flowers to see every month in your house?" Lin Xiaoman asked again.

"Yes, Miss Xiaoman, do you want to go see the flowers?"

Lin Xiaoman shook his head and guided Ping An step by step.

"I was just thinking, illness enters through the mouth and nose, Master Gu coughs frequently, could it be that he smelled something he shouldn't have smelled, or ate something he shouldn't have eaten?"

"When the young master was young, he stayed at home almost every day. When he was old enough to learn to read, the master hired a teacher. It was not until he arrived in Dayi Town that the young master went to school."

"Then is Mr. Gu's house in Lin'an Prefecture also planted with flowers?"

Ping An said, "Of course not. The house in Lin'an Prefecture is big, and the flowers planted there are much more than here. Not to mention the quantity, the variety is almost twice as much as here."

Master Gu has many aunts, and the master who loves to grow flowers mentioned by Ping'an should be Master Gu's aunt.

I’m afraid Master Gu couldn’t imagine it.

He invited so many doctors, but it turned out that the root cause of his son's illness was the flowers in the mansion.

If you are allergic to pollen and stay with flowers every day, won’t you cough every day?

The reason is simple: pollen allergy sufferers usually first experience obvious upper respiratory tract symptoms.

Such as itchy nose, sneezing, and clear runny nose, which may be accompanied by itching of the eyes and palate.

Due to different physical conditions, many people will also experience discomfort in the throat, causing irritating coughs.

When inhaling floral fragments with a smaller diameter, it is very likely to cause lower respiratory tract allergy symptoms, such as chest tightness, coughing, wheezing, etc.

Of course, allergies also occur in the eyes and skin, but the symptoms vary from person to person.

The most common allergic rhinitis is actually allergic rhinitis-conjunctivitis, which often manifests as dark blue spots under the eye sockets, accompanied by cold symptoms.

If you cannot stay away from allergens, allergic rhinitis can cause chronic sinusitis, which can then trigger allergic asthma.

Young Master Gu has been ill for so many years, and flowers have always been the company of his family. You can imagine the situation.

If I still stay in Lin'an Prefecture, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than here.

Lin Xiaoman felt that his guess was almost right, so he chatted with Changan as if it were a normal conversation.

"I once heard a story, but I don't know if it's true or not. In ancient times, there was a nobleman who had a cough all year round. His family fed him precious medicinal herbs, and his food, clothing, housing and transportation were all expensive. Because his family was very rich, the nobleman was not allowed to go out. His only hobby was to hold flower-viewing banquets with his sisters. Every time the flower-viewing banquet was over, the nobleman would always fall seriously ill, and after he recovered, he would continue to hold banquets..."

"Later, the nobleman's family fell into poverty, and his sisters were all married. He could only rent a run-down house with an old servant. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and his cough since childhood was cured."

Lin Jingzhe listened thoughtfully and glanced at the girl.

Girls never do useless things or say useless words, especially when they are talking to outsiders.

There was something in my heart that was about to come out, but it was hard to believe.

He glanced at Chang'an, who was still in shock.

"Every time I get sick after a flower viewing party, it can't be that the flowers are harming me, right?"

"This..." After hearing Lin Jingzhe's words, Chang'an murmured to himself: "It can't be that..."

Chang'an spoke too softly and Lin Xiaoman couldn't hear clearly.

What she said today was straightforward enough.

Given Chang'an's friendship for Young Master Gu, there will always be seeds of doubt.

-

Ping An bought some juicy steamed dumplings and left in a hurry.

Lin Jingzhe's eyes wandered and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

After coming back to his senses, he took small steps towards Lin Xiaoman and said, "Xiaoman, the story you told is made up, right?"

Lin Xiaoman was making pancakes and was not distracted when she heard this. "No, I heard it from the old man."

"Oh~ Which old man said that?"

"I don't remember. I was a fool when I was little. Isn't it amazing that I can remember this story?"

Lin Jingzhe looked unconvinced.

Do you really think he is a three-year-old child?

I don't know if Ping An understood it?

But it is unbelievable that such beautiful flowers are the culprit.

From now on, it seems that wild flowers in the mountains cannot be picked casually. There will be retribution for destroying flowers with such harsh means.

-

After Ping An brought the steamed buns to Master Gu, he kept thinking about the story told by Lin Xiaoman.

"Ping An, ahem, what delayed you? Why is it taking so long? Ahem."

Gu Changsheng raised his hand to cover his lips, and after coughing a few times he gradually recovered.

"There are many diners today, so we have to wait for a long time." Chang'an explained.

"I only want one cage, you can take the others. Stay away from me and don't get sick."

"Master, I'm not afraid."

Ping An was thinking about something, and the soup dumplings he used to love to eat didn't seem to taste good anymore.

I don’t know whether the young master and the nobleman in Miss Xiaoman’s story have the same illness.

Even though it sounds unbelievable, it never hurts to give it a try.

It was about this that he didn't know whether he should tell the young master.

He was worried that if he was wrong and the young master still held on to hope, would the disappointed and dejected young master be unable to recover?

"Why don't you eat anymore?" Gu Changsheng felt that something was wrong with Ping An today.

Something was wrong from the moment he walked in.

"What happened?"

"No." Ping An suppressed the thoughts in his mind and decided not to tell the young master for the time being.

It happened that the master had gone to Lin'an Prefecture these two days, and he went back to think of a way to get the young master out of the mansion.

But how to convince the young master to live outside?

Gu Changsheng coughed twice again, and he could only eat three of his favorite juicy steamed dumplings.

There was a dark spot under his eyes and his face was filled with fatigue.

Not long after, Kangtai brought a bowl of black medicine, "Master, it's time to take the medicine."

Gu Changsheng took it without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

He didn't even use candied fruit to remove the smell, he had long been accustomed to taking medicine as his companion.

"Master, let's go to the academy and stay there for two days!"

Changan racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution, so he could only encourage them openly.

"Master, you haven't been to school for a few days."

Gu Changsheng looked strange: "Why go to the academy? I was sick for quite a while, but you didn't let me go to Mingyi Hall. I wish I could become my father's eyes, sew them on my body and supervise me."

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Gu Changsheng felt that Ping An had a secret.

Something must have happened on the way to buy the juicy dumplings.

Ping An is hiding something from him, and this matter is most likely related to him.

Gu Changsheng walked to the study calmly, coughing continuously.

Ping'an followed silently behind, and as soon as Gu Changsheng sat down, he ordered the servant waiting outside to go to the kitchen to get tea.

After a while, Changan poured a cup of tea, "Master, have some tea."

Gu Changsheng stayed in the study room for the whole morning, which made Ping An feel suffocated.

How can we coax the young master out?

-

That afternoon, the cook sent by the young master arrived.

One tall, one short, one fat, one thin, the four of them are easy to recognize.

Lin Xiaoman explained and did it in front of them until the sun was setting and his mouth was dry.

The rest will be handed over to Dacheng and Dayong.

The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.

Dacheng and Dayong can be said to be very hardworking.

Both of them can now make grilled fish with their eyes closed.

Afterwards, Dacheng, who was more stable, took three cooks to Lin'an Prefecture.

Dayong and the thin chef stayed in Dayi Town to continue cooking.

Lin Xiaoman, who had some free time, finally had time to go to the seed shop to buy seeds. Li Taohua happened to be going to buy vegetable seeds, so the whole family went together.

Although it is called a seed shop, there are actually not many varieties of seeds, for example, there are no pepper seeds.

However, we had common seeds such as radish and cabbage seeds that she wanted.

They bought a little of each. Li Taohua kept complaining that Xiaoman bought too much, but she still insisted on buying it.

She kept seeds of long beans, peppers and loofahs in the space.

Because she needed more peppers to make hot sauce, she planted more than a dozen of them in the space.

There is also a patchouli that was picked up in Shadi Village earlier. One of them was planted in the space and it is growing much better than the one in the yard outside.

In addition to space, you should also plant more radishes and cabbages in your backyard and fields. In addition to making sauerkraut radishes and cabbage, you can also eat fresh vegetables in winter.

Lin Dajiang talked about this with several of his older brothers-in-law, and also mentioned it to his neighbor Li Erli and his second brother Lin Dahai.

There are not many fields in Shadi Village, and most of them were reclaimed by the men in the family with hoes, so the land is relatively barren.

There is not much harvest from growing wheat, so it is better to listen to my brother-in-law and plant more cabbage and radishes.

Li Shan often went to Ruyilou to deliver goods and knew that in addition to buying fish, they also bought side dishes such as radishes and cabbages.

Not to mention Li Erli, Aunt Li always told him to keep an eye on Uncle Dajiang next door.

After the previous changes, Lin Dahai's words to his eldest brother were like the imperial decree of the Jade Emperor. He would do whatever his eldest brother said.

My eldest brother said to plant more radishes and cabbages, so he cleared half of the land to plant them.

The remaining half acre of land continued to be used to grow wheat.

Because of this incident, Wang Chunxiu was so angry that she pointed at her taciturn husband and called him a loser.

Just when several families were busy sowing radish and cabbage seeds, something big happened in Shanglin Village.

"Xiaoxue, why did you sell yourself out?"

Wang Chunxiu cried so hard that her tears and snot were all over her face. She collapsed on the ground, holding a yellowed piece of paper in her hand and slapping her thighs frantically.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!! If I hadn't given the money to your uncle, you wouldn't have sold yourself!"

Lin Lichun knelt beside Wang Chunxiu, staring blankly at the crooked words on the paper.

Lin Dahai felt as if he was struck by lightning.

Dongzhi didn't understand what had happened, he just knew that his sister had gone out.

He didn't cry or make a fuss, but curled up in his brother Lin Lichun's arms, looking at his third uncle with his big black eyes.

The paper in mother's hand just now was what uncle read to them.

"Xiaoxue! Why are you so stubborn? How can I live?" Wang Chunxiu beat her chest and stamped her feet, crying out of breath and almost fainting.

Old Mrs. Lin felt unlucky.

Lin Xiaoxue's usually gloomy eyes looked scary.

Now he has sold himself and has not even a penny left.

"What are you yelling about? A little girl is gone, so she can go. Selling herself can save some food."

Old Mrs. Lin showed no mercy. Seeing Wang Chunxiu lying on the ground, she became angry and said, "You shameless little whore, if you hadn't moved the money from your family to the Wang family, your daughter wouldn't have sold herself!"

"Mom, stop talking." Lin Dahai said in a deep voice.

He showed his toughness for once, and stood up and said to Wang Chunxiu on the ground, "I'll go get Xiaoxue back."
