Doctor's Hand Covering Fragrance

Chapter 5 Cause and Effect
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind his head, Ji Li hurriedly raised his head to look at An Xiancheng with tears in his eyes, and called out with infinite grievance as pitifully as before: "Master."

Seeing that Anxian Cheng gritted his teeth, slapped her face with a sullen face, Ji Li's lips moved twice, swallowed the rest of the words, cleaned up quietly and retreated out, thinking he was unlucky.

Fortunately, he is not someone who really spoils concubines and kills wives, regardless of family ties.An Yi breathed a sigh of relief, watching An Xiancheng sit on the only stool, and gave him a good look.The county magistrate An looks to be about ten years older than Mrs. An, with a dark-yellow complexion, frowned eyebrows, and a gloomy expression on his face.He was very thin and tall, and the cuffs and neckline of the eighth-grade green official uniform on his body had been severely worn out. The official boots on his feet were also old, with patches on the inconspicuous ankles.

The county magistrate, the eighth-rank official, is under the county magistrate, and is the second in command of a county. Of course, the salary is not high, and the monthly salary is six stones and six dollars, but it is not enough to support such a simple family.What's more, the magistrates have all sorts of hidden incomes. Mrs. An is shrewd. Mrs. An is not a wasteful and unvirtuous person. Although Mrs. An spends a lot of money on medical treatment and medicine all the year round, she should be able to guarantee a well-off life after a year.There should be no reason for this family to fall to this point.

The sound of snow particles hitting the window paper was one after another, and the cold wind blew in through the wide open door. An Yi sneezed in the cold, pulling the wound on her head, throbbing, and her stomach ached. Also cooperating with the "cuckoo" called twice.

An Xiancheng finally said: "I'll ask your aunt to serve you another bowl." After saying that, he really called Geely to serve An Yi another bowl of porridge.

Ji Li cheerfully agreed: "Hey, I'll be here right away." When he came in again, his face was smiling like a flower, as if he had completely forgotten what happened just now, and Anyi was amazed at how quickly he changed his face.

After Anyi finished her porridge, An County Prime Minister said again: "What happened to your head injury? Who hurt you? What's the reason?"

Anyi could only think of the scar-faced boy who ran away in a panic at the end, she didn't see the faces of the other two clearly.As for why she hurt someone to death, she didn't know, so she took out what she said to Mrs. An last night to deal with An Xiancheng: "I can't remember, I feel dizzy, and I get a headache when I think about it." She also emphasized: " I can't remember many things!"

Anxian Cheng didn't show much surprise, didn't believe it and became nervous, he just said: "I heard what your mother said. Don't worry, wait for Aunt Wu to come for your follow-up visit in two days, and ask her to take a good look at it for you."

"Okay." An Yi agreed, and wanted to change the subject: "Father, have you eaten yet?"

An County Prime Minister gave her a surprised look, and said after a long time, "I'll eat at the county government office later." Without waiting for An Yi to ask again, she got up and went out: "When you think about it, remember to tell me, I'm doing this. Although father is incompetent, he won't let his daughter be bullied for nothing."

"Oh." An Yi crawled into the hard bed, listening to Ji Li being kicked out by Mrs. An crying and running all over the yard, looking at the dim yellow and black roof, thinking about something.

A few days later, the wind and snow stopped for a while, and the sky turned blue, and An Yi was able to get up and walk around.Seeing that the afternoon sun was very good, it was warmer than her cold room, so she slowly took a stool and sat in the yard to bask in the sun.

Because of the grain and some money that An County Prime Minister got from somewhere, the whole family had food, drink, and hot kang to sleep in, so whether it was Mrs. An or Ji Li, An gave birth to a lot, and Mrs. An even had milk. The baby who was born prematurely, had no milk, and was always whimpering, became much quieter when he was full.Therefore, this afternoon was rare and clean, and An Yi happened to sort out the information about the family that she had collected these days.

The An family is a big family in the capital, and the patriarch is An Guide, the chief assistant of the former Dafeng Dynasty. There are many people in the family who have studied and become officials, but the old lady An and the Anxian Cheng are far away from the direct line, and they are still very weak. .And in this branch, Anxian Cheng's mother and son are even more vulnerable.The father of An Baoliang, the Prime Minister of An County, was born in Xuxian, and died early, leaving Mrs. An to serve her in-laws and raise her children.That's all, the bad luck is that when An Baoliang was five years old, the old old man of the An family disappeared again. The mother and son were kicked out, and the three of them had only two crumbling old houses and a few acres of Susukida mountain land, which was not enough to make ends meet.

Mrs. An is a strong and capable woman. She farms, does needlework and does odd jobs. She gritted her teeth and forced her mother-in-law to die. She raised An Baoliang and provided him with education.It was so easy until An Baoliang became a Jinshi, elected an official, married a wife and gave birth to a baby, and after many twists and turns, sneaked into the household department and worked as a congregation of the seventh rank. After a few years of good life, he was again taken by the head of the An family, The chief assistant at that time, Anguide, was implicated, and he was dispatched to this remote and poor small place at once. It is hard to say that he was lost and sad, and he was squeezed and tortured by his colleagues from other factions on a daily basis.

This is not over yet, because An Baoliang devoted himself to studying in his early years and had no spare money, Mrs. An was so obsessed with marrying a daughter of a scholarly family or an official family to make a appearance, so she waited until An Baoliang was 30 years old and became a Jinshi before trying to marry. Now Mrs. An, Mrs. Xue.

At that time, the father of Xue's natal family was a ninth-rank official of the Imperial Academy, and he was not a high-ranking official, but he had a good reputation among scholars. Xue himself was young, beautiful and well-behaved. She lost her body and was unable to conceive until later.It is a big deal that there is no male to carry on the family line. When Mrs. An was in Beijing, she could bear it because of Xue Xuezheng. Once she left the capital, she couldn't bear it anymore. She took out her private money and bought two concubines in one go. Jili, and another named Fugui, died of illness not long after Fugui entered the door, and the rest of Jili stood firm because of his cunning and beauty, and his winks at Mrs. An and An Baoliang.But for some reason, Geely failed to give birth to a boy and a half girl. On the contrary, Mrs. Xue, who is nearly [-] years old, got pregnant and gave birth to a son after several visits by Aunt Wu. It is a pity that Xue's body was too weak and the son was born prematurely and weak. Let the whole family be on tenterhooks.

As for the reason why this family is getting poorer and poorer, and they can’t even solve the problem, Mrs. An’s worshiping Bodhisattvas everywhere to ask her children to spread incense money is one reason. The main reason - his salary is not high, and Changli County is very impoverished, and the hidden income that officials get is very limited, he is still an object of exclusion, and even less; He is a loose hand, and he spends two pennies for one penny, but whenever someone asks him for help, whether it is to support poor scholars or poor people, he is very willing to do so, regardless of how much money he has in his pocket, he knows how to live within his means; in the end He also belongs to the kind of person with lofty ideals. He only wants to untangle it so that he can return to the capital as soon as possible to realize his ambitions, so he has to show filial piety to Shangguan.

Regardless of the little thing he respects, Shangguan doesn't like it, in short, this family has been in Changli County for five years, and the life has become more and more miserable, and the debts have snowballed. Once in debt, no one is willing to pay on credit.And An Baoliang's colleagues were afraid of his borrowing money, and knew that he was hopeless, so they took a detour when they saw him, and even the county magistrate beat him every day for fun.As a result, An's life turned into what An Yi saw.
