Employed husband

Zheng Daliang took the banknotes and went straight to the pharmacy.

The herbal medicines mobilized by the government from other counties have arrived, which can temporarily alleviate the shortage of medicines in Cangzhou County.But because there are too many people who want to use it, the price is still high.

The 28 taels of silver were only exchanged for 32 sets of medicines in the end, and it was because Daliang was acquainted with the doctor of the pharmacy, and he gave her a discount.

She begged the doctor several times, but the doctor was worried about being hijacked on the road, so he refused to see the doctor.

Zheng Daliang had no choice but to tie the herbal medicine bag firmly to his chest, picked up a long stick, drove away a few refugees outside the city, and ran home in a hurry.When I got home, I was not only sweating profusely, but also had several bruises on my face and arms.

Zheng Daliang evenly gave Shiqiao six packs of the herbs that he took home, not because she didn't want to be more generous, but because she really couldn't be more generous.

Six packs of medicine is six taels of silver. If his brother hadn't pawned the heirloom, he would have to spend half a year without eating or drinking firewood to make up enough!

Seeing the truth at a time of crisis, Shiqiao was very grateful in his heart, and secretly vowed that as long as he, Shiqiao, would eat every bite, he would never let his brother's family go hungry!

Zheng Daliang came home with heavy steps, and Sister A hurriedly brought hot water for her to scrub.

When Liang took off his coat to reveal his slender body when applying the medicine, Erniang Zheng couldn't help but feel bitter... This is obviously a woman who is younger than herself and looks very weak. I don't know who's family is wandering outside, but she takes the burden of life for her Zheng's family. Provoked on one shoulder...

Holding back her tears, Erniang Zheng said, "Otherwise... I'll go out and find a job too?"

"No!" Zheng Daliang immediately refused!What happened last time still left her with lingering fears.Moreover, this era is really unfriendly to women, there are very few places that can hire them, and many jobs are mixed with dirty things that are hard to say!If Zheng Erniang can find a good job, why wait until now? !

Xu felt that he was too severe to hurt others, Zheng Daliang slowed down his tone and said: "Sister, it is necessary for you to be at home, if you are not, who will take care of Grandpa and the others? Don't worry, these medicines are enough for us for a while, really No, don't we have a piece of pure gold? I can always figure it out, trust me."

The new medicine was boiled on the small charcoal stove, and sister-in-law brought it to Grandpa Sanzhu, while Zheng Daliang cooked.Unexpectedly, the fire in the big stove hadn't risen yet, so Sister came to her in a hurry, pulled her sleeve and said, "Grandpa refuses to drink medicine, so I won't listen to my persuasion! Daliang, go and have a look!" "

Zheng Daliang rushed into his grandpa's hut in three steps at a time. Grandpa was half lying on the bed, closed his eyes and said stubbornly: "I won't drink! Leave it to San Zhu!"

"Grandpa, why are you up? Lie down quickly. It's okay, Sanzhu has medicine! I found a way to make money, drink it, and I'll get it after I drink it!" Zheng Daliang was afraid that he would be too excited to come up Angry, quickly comfort him.

After hearing her words, Grandpa Zheng became even more angry, and slapped the pillow hard: "Don't fool me! What serious way can you earn 30 taels of silver at once?! Tell me! Did you pawn your things?! Just pawn right now! Things, what should we do if the situation gets worse in the future?! How can you afford it, child? Sometimes you understand and sometimes you don’t understand... Cough cough cough cough!"

Before he finished speaking, Grandpa Zheng couldn't hold his breath, and almost coughed up blood.Zheng Daliang hurried forward to pat him on the back, not daring to argue with him again.

From then on, no matter how much she and Sister persuaded and begged Grandpa, even Grandpa Shi moved out, but Grandpa was determined and said forever: "My illness is hopeless, the medicine is hard to come by, leave it to Sanzhu!"

Once the old man becomes stubborn, he will not be able to bring back ninety cows.Zheng Daliang couldn't tie up his grandfather and force him to drink, so he had to secretly mix medicine into his meals, and he didn't dare to put too much for him to find out, so he could only do his best to maintain it.

Not long after, my grandfather became more and more ill, with obvious asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest tightness.

Asthma is a very difficult disease in modern times.In a particularly sudden situation, if there is no spray inhalation or a large amount of oxygen supplementation, it is basically certain to die.In ancient poor families, it was a terminal illness that had no cure.

But looking at Grandpa's calm appearance, it seems that he had expected it long ago.This made Zheng Daliang suspicious. How could an ordinary citizen like Grandpa, who could not read a single word, diagnose in advance that he had an incurable disease like asthma?Unexpectedly, she soon got the answer.

That night, Grandpa, who had been having trouble breathing, suddenly calmed down a lot, and his consciousness became clearer.He let Erniang, who was serving by his side, go out, leaving Daliang with something to say.

Daliang had a bad premonition, not only because of his grandfather's abnormal physical condition, but also because of what he was about to say.

"Go...go to the corner of the kang on the left side of the wall, dig out the box...open..." Grandpa whispered to Daliang.

Zheng Daliang dug out a cloth-wrapped box as she said, and when she opened the cloth bag, she was shocked from ear to ear by what was in front of her eyes!

It was a rectangular thick wooden box, the whole body of the wood was dark, with golden silk and auspicious cloud patterns, it was as hard as iron, it was moist in the hand, and it emitted bursts of delicate fragrance that lasted for a long time.This is the best agarwood box!I'm afraid it's worth thousands of gold!Trembling, Daliang slowly opened the lid of the box...

The top-quality bright yellow brocade with dragon patterns is the background, and the clear jade pendant carved from suet white jade is set off. When you hold the jade pendant in your hand, you feel soft and smooth in your hands, and warm in your heart.

On the front of the jade pendant is engraved a large character in an ancient style. The font is smart and three-dimensional, and there is an illusion that it is about to fly out. Zheng Daliang recognized that it is a "Jin" character.On the back is engraved domineeringly the words "Ordered by Heaven"!

Nine ingenious five-clawed golden dragons have different postures, guarding around the jade pendant. Needless to say, they symbolize the meaning of the Nine-Five Supreme.

Zheng Daliang felt cold all over his body, he mechanically raised his head to look at his grandfather, and saw that his grandfather was looking over from the bed, the glint in his eyes was very penetrating.

"Come here, sit down." Grandpa ordered in a deep voice.

Holding the wooden box, Zheng Daliang moved step by step to the suddenly unfamiliar grandfather.

Grandpa stretched out his skinny hand and grabbed the girder tightly. Whether she wanted to or not, he couldn't wait to tell her the past.

Grandpa's real name is Zheng Duo.Duo, the bell used when promulgating government orders, is a symbol of the supreme majesty and binding force of the law.

The name entrusts the expectations of his parents and family, but unfortunately he was born at an untimely time, just in time for the end of the dynasty, and the officialdom is dark and bloody.Zheng Duo has a weak temperament, so he refuses to set foot in that chaos, and naturally he cannot inherit his father's mantle.

Grandfather Zheng An has a very high reputation in history books, and the world says he is the last virtuous minister of the previous dynasty.Had it not been for his loyalty to help the country, the Jin Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.The collapse of Emperor Jinyong's court began when he suddenly resigned from his old age.

As for why Master Zheng An suddenly left the political center without warning, some people said that his meritorious service caused Emperor Yong to be suspicious, some said that he knew that the revival of the Jin Dynasty was hopeless and proposed to withdraw, and some said that Emperor Yong was unjust and made him disheartened...

In fact, Zheng Duo couldn't tell the real reason, he only knew that a tragedy happened at home before that...
