Qin Xinfang still had a smile on his face, and he said to Wan Shi: "Then I'll borrow it to have a look, make a copy later, and return the original manuscript."

Wan Shi nodded, thinking of the successor of the Li family doctor, she seemed to be full of strength, and supported Mei Shi and Baolu to get up, "Then I will go find it for you now."

Qin Xinfang hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Now that it's getting dark, we're going to bother you all night and leave tomorrow."

Wan Shi laughed and said, "Find it now and put it away, and you will set off at dawn tomorrow. The in-laws are alone with two children. The road must be slow, so you can't stay for long."

Qin Xinfang's face blushed, and she didn't stop her anymore.

Li Hong's eyes darkened when he saw this, and he got up and was about to chase after him. Qin Xinfang hurriedly grabbed him, and said with a smile: "Brother Li, wait a moment. Speaking of this, my Qin family offended me. No matter how you say it, it's also Li's brother." I really shouldn’t have said this, but I just asked Brother Li Er to show me some kindness. But I don’t want to take advantage of Brother Li Er.”

Qin Xinfang took out two pieces of silver from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand, and said in a distressed way: "Brother Wei doesn't have much money on him, these can only be used to express his feelings, but Brother Li, don't worry, I will copy the original manuscript after copying the notes. Give it back."

Li Hong, who was about to get up, paused and sat back on the chair.

And Wan brought Mei and Li Baolu all the way into her room, she didn't avoid Mei, she pointed to the box on the cabinet and said: "Move that box down."

Mei helped Wan to sit by the bed, and stepped on the chair to get the box on the cabinet.

The box is very light, so Mei easily moved it down and put it beside Wan Shi.

Wan took out a key from his pocket and opened the box. Inside were volumes of books and papers.

Wan picked up a booklet, and said reluctantly: "These are all the pulse records and prescriptions recorded by your grandfather, because these diseases and the principles of prescriptions are all in medical books, and I didn't want to bring them for you, but you If you want to see it, take it."

Pointing to the papers again, he said, "The scattered ones have not been sorted out, and they are all placed in order. If you have the heart, you can sort it out yourself when you grow up. It can also be passed on to future generations."

Finally Wan took out a letter from under the box, sighed and was about to stuff it under the pillow, but Li Baolu had already read the words on the envelope, "My brother, Li Yuan accepts".

Li Baolu hurriedly grabbed her grandmother's hand, "Grandma, grandfather and brothers?"

Wan Shi was slightly startled, "Are you literate?"

"Uncle Qin asked me to study with Brother Jing Yun, and now I can finish reciting the Three Character Classic."

"Okay, okay," Wan said, stroking her little head in relief: "Reading and literacy is a good thing. Don't listen to outsiders saying that a woman's ignorance is virtue. You have to study hard, and the knowledge you acquire will be the best." It is your own. Among other things, you can always understand the letter after reading and writing."

Wan continued to stuff the letter under the pillow, explaining: "This is your third grandfather, he is your grandfather's brother, he is a descendant of the big house, and has the best relationship with your grandfather. This letter is written by your grandfather to affirm his grievances. Yes, it's just that the letter couldn't be sent out in the first few years, so as not to cause trouble for your third grandfather, but in the past two years, your grandfather has begun to hesitate whether to send it, which has been delayed until now."

"Now that your grandfather is gone, it doesn't matter whether the letter is sent or not, but grandma has something to keep in mind."

"Can the third grandfather wash away the grievances of the grandfather?"

"No," said Wan Shi, holding her hand, "just telling the family that he has never done anything harmful to medical ethics, and I hope the family will not remove his branch. But now your grandfather is dead, and the descendants of the family are still alive." If you can’t go back, it doesn’t matter whether you are delisted or not.”

However, Li Baolu pulled the letter out from under the pillow, touched the yellowed envelope and said, "Grandmother, give me the letter. I will send it back when I leave Qiongzhou. Even if our branch doesn't return home We should also let people in the clan know that grandfather did not do those things, he is a good doctor!"

Wan Shi burst into tears, and hugged Baolu into his arms, choked up and said, "Good boy, I don't blame your grandfather for loving you so much, only you can understand him."

Not everyone can understand Li Bo's obsession. He has always wanted to send this letter, but has never had the chance.

In the dead of night, she watched him take out the letter over and over again, and her heart was almost as if cut by a knife.

He always felt that he was dragging them down, so he always wanted them to have a better life, but why weren't they dragging him down?

Wan wiped away his tears, put the letter back into the box, and said: "Your second uncle is a caring person, he has to check it, so let's put it here."

He touched her head again and said: "You must be obedient and obedient in the Qin family, study hard, and don't waste time. You are lucky, and you should cherish it. If you don't say anything about your cousin, it is your cousin. I'm afraid he can't read many words."

Speaking of this, she was full of resentment, "Your second uncle is short-sighted. It was me and your grandfather who didn't teach you well, but in the end you suffered a lot. Fortunately, your second aunt is not confused to the end, as long as they are not bad. Get to the root, if you can help them in the future, help some of them."

Li Baolu looked at Mei Shi somewhat uncomfortably. In her impression, Mei Shi was always not very nice. When her parents were still around, she was lazy and had to fight over everything at home. She never had a good face when facing her in private. Several times, she murmured that she was a loser, and such a fool should be thrown away sooner...

And after her parents passed away, the second aunt really didn't treat her well, and she didn't even treat her grandmother well, so she was surprised by her grandmother's trust in the second aunt when she came back this time.

Wan didn't explain it to Li Baolu, and felt that her granddaughter might not understand it, so she pulled Baolu to kneel down for Mei, and said, "Kowtow to your second aunt, she has suffered a lot for you. "

Li Baolu was full of doubts, but still obediently knelt down and kowtowed to Mrs. Mei.

Mei supported Li Baolu, tears came down, she covered her lips and sobbed, "As long as Baolu can remember the love of Second Aunt, in the future, if your brothers and sisters are in trouble, you can reach out and help them."

Mei knew from her mother-in-law that Li Baolu had promised to Gu Jingyun, and that Gu Jingyun was a good citizen, and he could leave the exile. This alone was worth her continuing to stand by Li Baolu's side.

Wan's sighed when she heard this. Baolu was only three years old, and she had only learned to read for a month, but she could already recognize the words on the envelope. I have to say that she was very talented.

But the other children of the Li family are much worse. They could make up for it with hard work before, but now that Li Hong is the head of the family, his short-sightedness directly robbed them of their chances of hard work.

Since the children of the Li family could speak, they taught them to read the "Three Character Classic" and some catchy Tang poems, so except for the young Niu Niu, Sister He and Brother Jun could all read.

When Li Bo was there, the two children had to study for three hours a day, and they would be silent without books.

Li Bo, Li Kang, and Li Hong are all literate, and each of them can make up a lot of books by keeping what they memorized. Li Bo thought that even if the children could not take the imperial examination, literacy would be of great benefit, among other things , passed down from generation to generation, until the third generation they can leave the sin village to seek a living outside. If they are literate, their chances of finding a job are definitely higher than those of the illiterate.

It can be said that medical books and characters are the most precious wealth he can leave to his children and grandchildren. The current few children have no talent or interest in studying medicine, but as long as the children can read and write, medical books can be passed down, which is always an opportunity for children and grandchildren.

But Li Hong obviously doesn't think so. Reading requires a lot of money. Even if he can teach his children, paper, pen, ink and inkstone still need a lot of money, especially paper and ink.

Li Hong was reluctant to spend the money, so recently Li He and his brother used wooden sticks to draw on the ground. This was under the supervision of Wan Shi, otherwise the two children might have gone out to play.

Li Hong was also happy for them to go out to catch the sea or help with farm work.

Wan felt that it was all his fault, and felt guilty.

The Li family is an aristocratic family of Xinglin. Although the husband's branch is a side branch, his medical skills have always been leading, and sometimes even the direct branch is not as good.

The only point is that this line of offspring is not prosperous, and the last five generations are all single-line, and the children either die young when they are born, or they will always die unexpectedly when they grow up to thirteen or fourteen years old.

The Wan family gave birth to two sons in the Li family. Li Hong almost died when he was exiled. At that time, the Wan family and Li Bo thought that they would still be passed down from one generation to the next. Who knew that Li Hong survived.

That's why the couple loved him more.

They broke the situation that the Li family was passed down in one line, but they also lost the Li family's talent for studying medicine.

We must know that Li Bo's medical talent is the best no matter which generation, and Li Bo himself is even more talented, and he has beaten his peers in the clan since he was a child.

But Li Kang and Li Hong did not inherit his medical talent, and expressed their disinterest in medicine since childhood.

In Li Jun's generation, Li Bo took two medicinal herbs and taught him how to identify them. He learned it right away, turned around and changed two of the same ones, and asked him to recognize them again, but he couldn't recognize them.

So Wan always felt that the descendants of the Li family were unworthy and blamed herself. Her husband's talent was nothing to say. Isn't it because of inheriting her that the children are so poor?

But no matter how much she blames herself, she must try her best to arrange the funeral affairs so that her husband's mantle can be passed on.

She no longer counted on Li Hong, the medical books left in his hands would one day be exchanged for money by him, it might as well be given to Baolu.

She took Baolu's hand and instructed again: "Your eldest brother has no talent for studying medicine. If you keep these at home, your second uncle might lose all his reputation. You take them away, and you can copy them later after your eldest brother marries a wife and has children." Send a copy back to see if any of the descendants of the Li family have the talent to study medicine, if possible, let them inherit your grandfather's mantle."

The Wan family only has these two wishes, "Send medical books back to the Li family, so that the descendants of the Li family can continue to pass them on; when the descendants of the Li family encounter difficulties that cannot be overcome, reach out to help."
