Chapter 54 Weak Body

"Auntie, I am a customer of your son. I heard that he sent me books and he was in bed due to the cold. I felt very sorry for him, so I came here to visit him."

The woman in front of her has a fair complexion, her hair is combed meticulously, her eyes are clear and calm, and she is dignified and elegant even when she is standing still. Although she is dressed in patchwork cloth, she has the air of an unqualified scholar.

Lin Susu was a little shocked. She was used to seeing ignorant women and children around her. When she suddenly saw such a bookish woman, she couldn't recover for a moment.

Think about it, why should the mother of the top scholar look like this?

The woman's eyes were gentle and kind, and she nodded gently as she looked at her.

"Girl, you don't have to be like this. That child is so stubborn that he insists on sending it on a rainy day. It has nothing to do with the girl."

The thin dark girl was unhappy, "How come it has nothing to do with her! It's obvious that she didn't keep her word!"

The woman's smile faded slightly and she disagreed, "A wise man makes plans according to the times, while a fool goes against the rules. If you don't understand the truth, how can you not ask for trouble?"

The thin dark girl's mouth was half open, her eyes were confused, and she obviously didn't understand.

Lin Susu chuckled softly and said, "What you said is wrong. A person cannot live in this world without loyalty. Young Master, he strictly abides by his promise, but I don't keep my word."

Hearing this, the woman's smile obviously deepened. She took Lin Susu's hand affectionately and led her into the back room.

The thin dark girl was holding a medicine bag and stared at the two of them in disbelief, and then followed them unhappily.

"My shabby room is shabby, please forgive me, girl." The woman said as she brought two bowls of yellow chrysanthemum tea and placed them on the table.

"This is the chrysanthemum tea I made myself. Girl, don't dislike it."

Putting down a pile of food bags in her hand, Lin Susu picked it up and took a taste. Her eyes lit up and she squinted comfortably. It was fragrant but not astringent, bitter yet sweet, good tea.

"It's not that I prefer chrysanthemums among flowers, it's that there are no flowers when all the flowers bloom."

She was amazed.

As if she had found a confidant, the woman smiled and asked Lin Susu for another bowl.

"Pooh!"

Before the tea was poured, the thin dark girl beside her vomited repeatedly.

Seeing the two of them looking at her, she suddenly felt embarrassed and restrained, "This water is so bitter! I'm not used to drinking it."

The woman shook her head helplessly, "It was my negligence and I didn't take care of your taste."

As he talked, he went to the back room and brought another bowl of water. When he saw the medicine bag on the table, he said, "You kid, didn't I tell you that I have prepared the rebirth medicine for him. He has a special constitution. Ordinary doctors can't." The medicine can’t cure him.”

The thin dark girl blushed and lowered her head. She twirled her fingers to muster the courage to speak, "I, I just want to do my best for Brother Qinghuai."

The woman smiled softly and said comfortingly, "That's all, I will take the medicine for him, so I can't spare your thoughts."

Lin Susu was confused when she heard this, and asked out of curiosity, "Madam, what's wrong with your son's body? Can you tell me?"

The woman sighed, "It's not that it's inconvenient to say. He was weak when he was young, and an expert prescribed medicine for him. After taking it, he is no different from ordinary people. He just needs to take medicine once a year to stabilize his condition."

Lin Susu nodded, secretly thinking that this ancient medical skill was really brilliant, and only a pair of medicines could last a lifetime.

If the Qingchuan epidemic could bring such miracle doctors to work, they would be able to turn the tide.

With her mind racing, Lin Susu hurriedly asked, "Madam, can you still contact that expert?"

The woman laughed and shook her head, "I'm lucky to have met you once. How can I dare to dream of meeting you all the time? Ahem!"

She suddenly coughed while holding on to the edge of the table. Lin Susu then remembered that the woman seemed to be in poor health, so she hurriedly stood up and helped her sit down.

The woman forced a smile and waved her hands, "It's an old problem, it's okay."

"Auntie, what's wrong with you?" Lin Susu asked with concern.

"Oh, it's just that I'm getting older and my body is not as good as before."

The woman was vague, and Lin Susu couldn't continue to ask.She had already drank a cup of tea, and she didn't want to disturb her anymore. She said goodbye, but the woman kept asking her to stay.

Lin Susu just said that there was something going on at home and hurried out of the small courtyard. Not long after walking, a warm male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Girl! Stay!"

She turned her head hesitantly and saw Liu Qinghuai, who was panting.

His hair was a little messy, and his clothes seemed to have been put on in a hurry. When he suddenly saw Lin Susu, he seemed to realize his disgrace, bowed in embarrassment, and blushed.

"I suddenly heard from my mother that the girl is here. I am so embarrassed that I am not welcomed. I hope the girl won't be surprised!"

Lin Susu was stunned for a moment, then put on a smile of understanding and said, "People suffer from all kinds of diseases when they eat grains, and the young master is sick in bed. This is human nature, so there is no need to be so benevolent."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Qinghuai began to shiver uncontrollably again. He half-hugged his body in embarrassment, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear on the spot.

Lin Susu also noticed that the other party had a tendency to tremble when nervous, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Is something wrong, son?"

After Liu Qinghuai calmed down, he took out a book from his arms and handed it to her.

Lin Susu took it and flipped through it, and found that it was the "Four Ancient Poems" customized by her. She raised her head, smiled, and said happily.

"Very well written, thank you."

Then he suddenly realized that the other party was probably so eager to deliver the goods because he was short of money, so he hurriedly took out four taels of silver from his wallet and handed it over.

"..."

Liu Qinghuai stared at the ingot of silver for a long time, then showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and took it with trembling hands.

Seeing this, Lin Susu felt quite guilty about squeezing labor, and said hurriedly, "Is it missing? This is the price I inquired about. It is my fault. It is my fault that the master's writing is so good."

As he spoke, he took out five taels of silver ingots from his wallet and handed them over.

Liu Qinghuai lowered his head, squeezed his hands, and said hoarsely, "Young lady misunderstood, five taels of silver is already a high price, how dare you trick her into adding more money."

Seeing that he didn't answer, Lin Susu retracted her hand.

After looking at each other in silence for a moment, Lin Susu spoke, "It's cold outside, and the young master is sick and weak. Please go back early."

Only then did Liu Qinghuai come back to his senses. His handsome face seemed to be in a daze of frustration. He cupped his hands and thanked her, then turned around and staggered back.

Lin Susu secretly clicked her tongue, Liu Qinghuai's body is too weak, how will he be admitted to the top spot in the future?
He trembled when he was nervous. Wouldn't he tremble even more when he went to the palace to see Emperor Zhou?Then don't be cut off by Emperor Zhou's words of "disgrace in front of the palace"!

Lin Susu was worried about him.

I sighed all the way home, and as soon as I entered the door, two dirty and smelly things rushed towards me, crying and wailing.

"Daughter! Help daddy! Dad knows you are great! You have the ability! Save daddy!"

"..."

Lin Susu was silent. The two bastards finally knew they were going home.

Kicked away one by one, Lin Susu signaled Dan Shui to close the courtyard door again, fearing that the neighbors would be gathered to watch.

Then he went back to the main room alone, and Mrs. Liu Laosan and Gao followed her into the house hurriedly, rolling and crawling.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Susu took a sip of the tea handed over by Dan Shui before speaking slowly.
