Chapter 246 Settling Down
"Mother, where should the scholar be sent?"
Han Mingxiang shouted and asked Li Lanzhen.
"Carry it directly to the school. There is a yard there."
He turned around and shouted to Xue Bao.
"Xue Bao, go and ask your mother to come over and show the scholar's wife."
When the school was first built, a small courtyard was built for Master Xu and Zhihua.
Two more similar courtyards were built.
So now we can just send Lu Boyan and his family to that small courtyard.
As soon as they entered the school compound, they met Master Xu.
"Sister Lanzhen, what is this?"
Li Lanzhen quickly introduced him.
"This is Mr. Lu Boyan, these are his two children, and this is his wife."
When Lu Boyan saw Master Xu, he bowed quickly.
"Lu Boyan has met the Master."
Master Xu looked at Lu Boyan, nodded and asked.
"Is your wife sick?"
As soon as he asked the question and saw Lu Boyan's indescribable expression, he instantly understood that he also had something to hide, so he waved his hand and said.
"Come with me now."
He took everyone to the small courtyard next to his own home.
This small courtyard also has three main rooms, a large east wing that serves as an inner and outer room, two west wing rooms, a kitchen, and a utility room.
Li Lanzhen and the others went into the bedroom to the east of the main house. She reached out and felt the kang, which was warm.
He asked Master Xu, "Is the kang already lit?"
"Yes, just now Shanxing's children came over and lit up the kang, saying that someone was coming to stay.
I just added more firewood."
Li Lanzhen nodded, "Thank you, Master."
The kang is covered with a thick straw mat, and on the mat is a kang mat.
It was inconvenient for the men to come in, so they all went to the cafeteria.
The two girls, Chang Le and Chang An, hurriedly brought in mattresses and quilts from outside and spread them on the bed.
Li Lanzhen and Lu Boyan slowly lifted his wife onto the kang, placed her on the mattress, and covered her with a quilt.
Master Xu brought over a pot of hot water from his yard.
"Drink some hot water."
The two children had followed Stone to the big kitchen.
Li Lanzhen said to Lu Boyan, "Lu Xiucai, this place will be your home from now on.
Just wash up here and give your wife some hot water to drink.
We'll bring the food over later, and you can stay here and eat with your wife.
When she wakes up, you can go to the cafeteria and have dinner with us."
Ever since Lu Boyan entered Peach Blossom Spring, he felt that this was truly a great place.
When I saw the warm and cheerful people in the village, I felt even more that I had made the right decision to come here.
Until he entered the small courtyard and put his wife on the warm kang.
Li Lanzhen said, "Lu Xiucai, this is your home now."
It made his eyes slightly hot and red.
He clenched his fists, bowed deeply to Li Lanzhen.
"Lu Boyan thanks Aunt Lan Zhen!"
Li Lanzhen laughed and said, "You're welcome. Just stay here and teach our children well."
After saying that, they all left the courtyard and came to the cafeteria.
On the way, Li Lanzhen briefly introduced Lu Boyan's situation to Master Xu.
Master Xu sighed and shook his head as he listened.
“This is also a suffering child.
Don't worry, I will treat him well."
Li Lanzhen laughed, "Of course I feel relieved to leave Lu Boyan to you.
Thank you, Master Xu. As for how to teach, you two can discuss it together."
Although it was late, the large kitchen was brightly lit.
The same thing happened in the dining room, where the walls were lined with pine torches and pots of firewood were burning red.
The dining room is large but warm.
Han Shunde and others saw Li Lanzhen enter the dining room and quickly stood up to greet her.
"Sister Lanzhen, have you encountered any problems these days? Is everything going well?"
Li Lanzhen said, "It's all right, it's all over, everything went well, we are all back home safe and sound, aren't we?"
Han Yuemei brought a basin of warm water and said, "Mom, take a shower and feel refreshed. We will have dinner soon."
Li Lanzhen agreed and followed her out of the dining room, quickly washing her face and hands at the door.
Pat your clothes and trouser legs clean with a face towel.
"Grandma, grandma, you're here. We've all washed up. Brother Shitou said we're having a big dinner tonight!"
Li Lanzhen watched a group of children running towards them following Tingyu.
Tingyu said these words to her.
"Okay, just wash yourself clean, stop running around, go to the dining room, find a table and sit down, and wait for dinner."
When Li Lanzhen entered, she saw her mother Ye waving at her.
She walked over with a smile and sat beside her.
Ye held Li Lanzhen's hand and kept stroking it, with slightly red eyes.
Li Lanzhen thought to herself that Li Xishui must have gone back and told them what had happened in the past two days.
"My girl, thank you for your hard work. Don't take risks again in the future. We women should just stay here in this paradise.
Let’s not run outside, ah!
Look how thin you are. Eat more rice and drink another bowl of pheasant soup later."
Li Lanzhen chuckled. This was a typical example of "If your mother says you've lost weight, then you've lost weight."
"Okay, mom, I get it. I will stay in Peach Blossom Land and not run around anymore. Don't worry about me anymore, okay?"
Speaking of pheasant soup, Li Lanzhen suddenly thought of the snake in the space. She had originally planned to take it out early and make a pot of snake soup for everyone to drink to nourish their bodies.
I forgot about it. I have to arrange this tomorrow.
There is a big snake placed in the space, it's weird and scary.
The food came up soon, and similarly, the adults gave each child a bowl of pheasant soup first.
A large pot of braised pheasant, rabbit and potatoes.
There was a big wooden spoon in the bowl, and whoever wanted to eat something could use the spoon to scoop it out.
After settling the children, the adults lined up to get their meals.
Li Lanzhen saw that everyone, whether adults or children, had a wooden spoon, a pair of chopsticks, a wooden plate, and two bowls, one large and one small.
After I had been away for a few days, I found that everyone had more dining supplies. These should have been made by my father Li Erhan and his apprentices.
There weren’t many dishes for dinner, but they were a combination of meat and vegetables.
Each person had a bowl of pheasant soup with wild vegetables, braised pheasant and rabbit stewed with potato cubes, and a large bowl on each table.
Then there were the soft wild vegetable pancakes, which were also placed in a large bowl on each table.
There is enough of both. After you finish eating, take the bowl to the kitchen and fill it up with the pot.
Han Mingxiang and Xue Bao carried two large food boxes and went to the school to deliver meals to Lu Boyan and his wife.
Mrs. Wu and Han Yuemei have already shown it to Lu Boyan's wife.
She had injured her body due to years of labor, and after the miscarriage, she lost too much blood and became even weaker. She needed to slowly take medicine and take dietary supplements to recuperate, otherwise she was afraid that she would develop a chronic illness and would have difficulty giving birth in the future.
When Lu Boyan heard these words, he felt guilty and distressed towards his wife, and he hated his biological father and stepmother even more.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he would teach the children in Taohuayuan well.
I also cultivate my character here, accompany my wife to maintain her health, and study hard to improve myself.
He wanted to take part in the imperial examination, pass it, and win a good future for his wife and children.
At least don't let them be bullied.
He also wanted to bring honor to Peach Blossom Spring. From now on, he, Lu Boyan, would be a member of this Peach Blossom Spring.
