Chapter 23: Heartbreak
Jiang Yishi politely said, “I’ll have someone prepare some vegetarian food, so you guys can make do here?”
Li Zhenbao and Li Kai spoke in unison:
“I want to eat scrambled eggs with leeks.”
“No, let’s go back to the nunnery to eat.”
Li Zhenbao insisted again, “I want to eat scrambled eggs with leeks, make some more, I haven’t eaten this for a long time.”
Li Kai could only add with a red face “My sister can’t eat meat outside the temple, but she can eat things like eggs. Sorry to intrude.”
Jiang Yishi smiles and goes out to whisper a few words to Sister Wu. Time was short, so they made egg and leek brine noodles.
Sister Wu asked Shui Ling to continue to keep watch while she took Shui Xiang and Shui Qing to the outer courtyard to cook. There were still so many underlings, they had to make several large pots.
Li Kai went to the outer courtyard, and Jiang Yishi went inside to accompany Li Zhenbao.
Li Zhenbao was a self-taught person, pulling her hand to tell her troubles.
“Every day, I have to drink bitter medicine soup, soak bitter medicine soup, zap needles, smoke paper strips, and I can only stop for one day every nine days, and that day I only eat medicine ……”
“Smoking paper strips?”
Jiang Yishi thought for a moment before reacting, she might have been referring to smoking “moxa sticks”. No wonder she let herself meet with Li Zhenbao on every fourth day, the only day she only took medicine and did nothing else.
Jumbo, whoever named her that must have treated her like a treasure. She must have been a treasure to the people who named her Jumbo. She lived in a nunnery at the age of three, but she was blessed. If she is not blessed, she seems to have been favored more than a princess.
Shui Ling, who was serving at the side, interjected, ”Sheriff Master should think of the good in things. Look at the slave girl, tall, strong and heartless, often called a fool, and also gave the slave girl a nickname ‘simple girl’.
“But the slave girl is not angry at all, and is still living a very happy life. Because there are grandfather and brother who are good to the slave girl, and the girl who is good to the slave girl, and now there is a good errand, why let those people be in a bad mood. In the slave girl’s opinion, county master’s blessings are greater than ever, how many people envy can’t envy, there’s really no need to get angry because of those things.”
Shui Ling said these words overstepped the bounds, still in the vernacular, but got to the point. Jiang Yishi didn’t stop her, and felt that Sister Wu’s evaluation of her was very pertinent, saying that she wasn’t stupid, and that she dared to say anything, without the word “fear”. If you say she’s stupid, she can speak to people’s hearts.
Li Zhenbao did not blame her at all, but also nodded thoughtfully.
Two moments later, Shui Xiang and a small nun with hair each carried a tray into the room and placed the master’s noodles on the kang table.
As soon as they came in Li Zhenbao inhaled his nose, his two small black eyes staring firmly at the bowl, “right” even more.
“It smells so good, so good, I want to ……”
She picked up her chopsticks and quickly tossed it, taking a big bite.
Jiang Yishi instructed her to “slow down” from time to time.
Although this little ninny wasn’t good looking, her personality was cute and real.
After the two of them finished eating, Shui Xiang put the bowl away.
Little ninny aunt Su Wei whispered, “Master, Shizi master said that you should return after you finish eating.”
Li Zhenbao took a few breaths and said, “You go and tell my brother that my mouth is full of meat now, going back would be disrespectful to the Buddha, and wait until there is no more smell in the next morning before returning. I am sleepy and want to sleep.”
Su Wei could only bow and go out.
For this little ancestor Jiang Yishi couldn’t either. Letting Shui Xiang come in and change the bedding on the bed to a new one, Shui Ling carried Li Zhen Bao to the bed, and Jiang Yishi reclined on the beauty couch next to the window and closed his eyes.
Jiang Yishi thought about her previous life, Li Zhenbao opened the “food”. The restaurant sells vegetarian food, as well as halo dishes. Because it was famous. Elder Doctor Shen especially liked the dishes and snacks there and asked her to buy them a few times. Because she was a nun, she could only buy vegetarian food.
The old man not only eat, but also study what is put inside, let Jiang Yishi learn to do. Don’t say, some really let Jiang Yishi do it, some test many times also can’t do it. The old man originally planned to leave in three months, but postponed his departure for a year for that bite of food.
He did teach Jiang Yishi a lot of cure methods, but also delayed the time to cure Meng Zhimo. Sometimes Jiang Yishi complained about the old man’s gluttony, but sometimes she thought it was good that he was gluttonous. He was born again, so that he could save Meng Zhimo and also find a way to avoid his brother’s death.
“The restaurant will open next year, and Li Zhenbao has recovered from his illness. But only two months can live in the capital Wang Fu, ten months must continue to live in Zhaomingan cure. As the disease slowed down, living in the secular world time gradually lengthened.
The great event that shocked the whole country took place in the “food”, and Elder Duke Meng was also injured in that event, and died half a year later. If he was alive, the blind Meng Ruimo had him to protect, perhaps not to kill the eldest Mrs. Meng finally went on the road to extinction …….
Li Zhenbao interrupted Jiang Yishi’s thoughts, “Second Sister Jiang, do you think I’m particularly spiteful and capricious?”
Jiang Yishi hesitated for a moment before saying, “I think you are a good person. Temperament, everyone is different.”
“Hehe, Second Sister Jiang speaks the truth.”
“I’m speaking the truth. This morning, you specifically instructed those people not to hit my family. Treating people you don’t know like that shows that you’re a good person.”
“Huh, indeed.” Li Zhenbao lowly laughed twice, silent for a long time, and then whispered, “I’m not a good person, I made my father angry and cry, and he knelt down for me, so I came here to suffer ……” The words gurgled in his throat, followed by low snoring.
The latter words Jiang Yishi a little unclear, also do not know “strike” is who. However, it seems that the little girl who is so loud has some sadness that she doesn’t want to talk about, but it’s definitely not something like being ugly or not being able to eat meat.
Only after Li Zhenbao was asleep did Jiang Yishi gently walk out of the bedroom.
Shui Xiang said that Li Shizi was sitting in the front yard house drinking tea, and everyone else had been arranged.
At the beginning of shenzhen in the next morning, Li Zhenbao got up, and the old nun, Sister Chai, brought the young nuns, Su Dot and Su Wei, to serve Li Zhenbao up.
The sturdy Sister Feng carried her to the sedan chair at the entrance.
Li Zhenbao took Jiang Yishi’s hand and said, “Second Sister Jiang, if I can come to your house, you must prepare delicacies that are not available in the nunnery. If I can’t come to your house, you go to the nunnery and I’ll treat you to a delicious vegetarian meal. Oh, and bring that silly big girl with you, she’s to my liking, not pretending ……”
Jiang Yishi agreed painfully, “Good.”
Li Kai smiled brightly and Jiang Yishi hugged his fist before following the sedan chair. After walking a few steps, he turned back and smiled at Jiang Yishi.
Li Zhenbao lifted the car curtain and whispered, “Brother, don’t hit Jiang Er Sister’s bad ideas.”
Li Kai knocked her head with his fan, “Nonsense, I am thanking the other girl for helping you.” In his heart, he said, “So there is such a handsome and soulful little lady in the capital, I can’t believe I haven’t heard of her before.
Li Zhenbao added, “Your flowery thoughts can not be hidden from my eyes, Jiang Er Sister is a girl from a good family …….”
Li Kai was very unhappy, “Your brother is not a descendant of a good family?”
