Time Traveling: the Only Beloved Husband

Chapter 8

When Li Xiangming brought his family to Shen's house, he saw Shen Xiangyan and his husband were already waiting at the door. After Shen Xiangyan took Xia Rong to meet the Li family, Li Xiangming patted Shen Xiangyan on the shoulder full of relief, "You are not bad, I also heard about the reopened shop of your family. I can feel at ease."

"The business matter is still honored by the ancestors, and my nephew also hit it by mistake. Fortunately, he made a name for himself." Li Xiangming really used all his strength to clap his hands, and Shen Xiangyan moved the quilt calmly. Patting the very painful shoulder, "It's my nephew's honor to have my uncle's family come to move this time."

Li Xiangming thought about it for a while, the Shen family is an incense making family that has been passed down for several generations after all, how could it be possible that there is no special prescription. In this way, the doubts that Li Xiangming had originally were pushed by Shen Xiangyan to the Shen family's ancestral incense making skills, "Don't say these polite words, you can't do business without any real skills. If my son I can feel relieved to have you." After speaking, he glared at Li Dongsheng who was following behind.

Li Dongsheng spread his hands helplessly, "Father, don't talk about your son, you are still growing old, why do you want your son to be so capable?"

Li Xiangming was so angry that he gasped, his son could only pretend twice in front of outsiders, if it wasn't for the fact that he was in Shen's house, he would have taken off his shoes and beat him, anyway, it's not like he hadn't done this before.

Seeing that his father was really angry, Li Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Ai, ai, calm down, Daddy, don't be so angry, this is in the Shen family, so be careful."

The last time we met, we didn't chat for a few words. Shen Xiangyan didn't know that Li Dongsheng was such an interesting person, but now he really wants to make friends. After arranging for the two female family members of the Li family to follow Xia Rong, the rest of the men went to the front hall to drink tea and chat.

Xia Rong led the two wives of the Li family around the courtyard, and then returned to the main courtyard's hall for entertaining guests. Seeing that He Xin ordered to bring up the tea, snacks and fruit plates that had been prepared in an orderly manner, he was secretly relieved.

Mrs. Li has seen Xia Rong's temperament along the way, unlike ordinary wives and concubines in the backyard, on the contrary, she is a bit innocent and childish. In fact, Mrs. Li was very fed up with the anger of the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, wife and concubines in the backyard in the early years, so she hated the scheming woman Shuang'er the most. Even the daughter-in-law she chose for her son was a pure-hearted, simple family girl. Therefore, Xia Rong's temperament was just hitting Mrs. Li's temper right.

Looking at the material of Xia Rong's clothes, the daughter-in-law may not be able to tell, but she can really see it, it is all high-quality brocade. Even if their Li family is considered a wealthy family, this material cannot be used as ordinary clothing. Then look at the jade hairpin on Xia Rong's head that is used to coil her hair. It is also a high-quality Hetian jade. A hairpin like this outside costs at least thirty or forty taels of silver, but this Xia Rong seems to have no idea at all, just doing it so casually With that, it seems that the kid from the Shen family really doesn't like this husband in general.

After getting along for a while, Xia Rong saw that Mrs. Li was not a difficult person to get along with, so she gradually relaxed, showing a bit of her true nature, and Dongsheng's daughter-in-law interjected from time to time, and finally coaxed Mrs. Li directly. He took Xia Rong's hand and shouted "heart".

Before Mrs. Li came to Shen's house, she was specially told by her husband to see how the husband Shen Xiangyan married was of good character. He just said that he was sorry for brother Shen and let his son be bullied by the Xia family. Before Mrs. Li came, she also planned, if Xia Rong was not a good person, would she introduce some innocent girls to Shen Xiangyan, and let him take them up as concubines or something.

Now that I saw Xia Rong, I liked it no matter how I looked at it, and the relationship between the two seemed very good, and the original thoughts had long since stopped. She didn't want to be that villain and destroy the relationship between the two juniors.

On Shen Xiangyan's side, the three of them also chatted very well. The Li family's father and son even introduced him to an old doctor with good medical skills. It is said that he had saved Li Dongsheng's life. Fucui Mountain near Furong Town was accidentally bitten by poisonous insects, and the doctors in the town were helpless, but it was this old doctor who saved his life. But this old doctor has no children all his life, although he lives at the corner of Fucui Mountain, he often travels around to see a doctor for the poor, so it is not easy to find this old doctor. Shen Xiangyan was already very satisfied when he heard the news, and he already knew where he lived, so he only needed to send someone to guard it nearby. He still had some patience.

The gathering of the two families was a joy for the guests. In the end, He Xin also brought two pear-blossom wooden boxes, which contained the Xiangtapao balm and perfume that Shen Xiangyan had prepared earlier, and gave it to Li in the name of Xia Rong. Two wives at home. Mrs. Li's family smiled happily when she received the gift, and her impression of Xia Rong was even better.

After Mrs. Li went back there, she expressed her love for Xia Rong to Li Xiangming, so there is no need to elaborate. Here, Shen Xiangyan played with her husband's weak and boneless hands, and scratched his palms with her fingers from time to time. Xia Rong's palms were very scared. Itching, but resisted Ren Xianggong to hold his hand. However, Shen Xiangyan is the person who can climb up the pole the most, and he doesn't intend to let go at all, instead holding Xia Rong's limp little hand, he doesn't want to let go, and the good-tempered little husband almost blows his hair before asking him about it a matter of day.

In fact, He Xin had already reported these things to him one by one, but it didn't matter, his original intention of asking these things was just to divert Xia Rong's attention, so that he wouldn't withdraw his hand. Little Xia Rong didn't know what the hungry wolf beside her was thinking, so she honestly talked about today's events a little bit, with a serious tone, and finally looked at Shen Xiangyan begging for praise. Following Husband's wishes, Shen Xiangyan leaned down and praised him several times in his ear, and kissed the corner of his mouth as a reward, which made Xia Rong's ears feel hot and numb, and he didn't recover for a long time.

Since the last snowfall, the weather has become colder and colder, and even the pedestrians on the streets of Furong Town have decreased. When the servants reported that Dr. Li had arrived, Shen Xiangyan was lying on the couch in the main room, with a thick fur blanket on the couch, and Xia Rong was leaning on his arms, the two of them were having a good time. We chatted together.

Hearing that Dr. Li was coming, Shen Xiangyan hurriedly asked the little girl to invite him in. The person sent to look for Dr. Li at the foot of Fucui Mountain brought people back yesterday, but it was already late when they arrived. Shen Xiangyan saw that it was not easy to travel in this snowy day. Anyway, Xia Rong was not in a hurry, so he just talked with Li. After the doctor said hello, he asked his servants to take him to rest first.

Dr. Li didn't like this person who insisted on sending someone to invite him. Anyone who came to invite him to go out when he just got home and wanted to rest would not like it. But last night, the boy from the Shen family was very polite to him, and the place the servants arranged for him was also very suitable for him, so the dissatisfaction was also a little bit lessened.

Today, when he came to see a doctor, he thought he was suffering from an incurable disease, but found that the person who asked him to see so urgently was actually a Shuanger who seemed to have no serious problems. Shuang'er loved her so much, Dr. Li stroked his beard, he had practiced medicine for so many years, he had never seen any kind of person, but it was the first time he saw someone who doted on her husband like this.

Dr. Li felt Xia Rong's pulse, pondered for a while, and said, "This is a symptom of some insufficiency at birth, but has the lady ever suffered from severe cold or something like that?"

Xia Rong thought for a while and said, "In the winter when I was ten years old, when I went out to play with my sister, I accidentally fell into the water."

Listening to Dr. Li's questioning, although Shen Xiangyan already had guesses, but after hearing Xia Rong's narration, his heart ached a bit. A ten-year-old child should already be sensible, how could he fall into the ice water for no reason? Knowing that this matter cannot escape the participation of Xia Rong's sister-in-law.

Doctor Li nodded after hearing this, "That's right. Even if the womb is a little weaker, my lady, the cold air won't enter the body like this. It's better to give birth to the body before it's too young. Otherwise, it will not only be difficult for the offspring, When people get old, their illnesses will come to them one by one. Fortunately, Mrs. Ling is still young, so it will be fine after a year or so of recuperation according to the old man's prescription."

After speaking, he went to the table and wrote two lists and handed them to Shen Xiangyan, "One is medicinal bath prescription, once every three days, half an hour each time. The other is for oral administration, three bowls of water decocted to half a bowl, one bowl a day , drink it for two months before coming to find me. I also wrote the daily precautions on it, remember not to let him catch the cold.”

Shen Xiangyan took the two forms and asked Dr. Li a lot of precautions. Then he saluted Dr. Li and thanked him for a long time. Originally, Shen Xiangyan wanted Dr. Li to stay for a few more days, or simply stay in his residence. Firstly, with Dr. Li around, someone can take care of Xia Rong's body if there is any problem, and secondly, the residence at the foot of the mountain is definitely not as good as him. It's a pity that Dr. Li refused without any hesitation, saying that his house was well lived, so he was restricted from coming to other people's house.

Shen Xiangyan had no choice but to give Dr. Li a lot of money for the consultation fee, and then made an appointment to see him next time, and then sent his servants to take him back to the foot of Fucui Mountain.
