Yuan Wanru transmigrated into a book and, by a twist of fate, married the male lead, Lu Jiangnian. Before their marriage, he coldly and heartlessly declared, “I will marry you, but I will never a...
Chapter 437 Xiao Luzi is a good name
The green cloth carriage rolled over the grassy ridges of the fields, startling the grasshoppers dozing in the grass.
As soon as the car stopped, Lu Jiangnian jumped off the shaft, and the hem of his black clothes swept across the golden wild chrysanthemums.
He turned around and opened his arms, "Get out of the car."
Yuan Wanru's apricot-red skirt fluttered like a butterfly, and she threw herself into his arms: "Remember to take the medicine box——"
The tail of the sound was blocked between the lapels of clothes that were pressed together.
"I can't forget it."
Lu Jiangnian held her waist and landed steadily on the ground. When he turned around and picked up the faded medicine box, he suddenly bowed respectfully and said, "Doctor Jiang, please."
The straps of the bamboo medicine box dug into his broad shoulders, making him look like a clever medicine boy.
Yuan Wanru laughed so hard that she doubled over, poking his chest with her fingertips: "Little Lu, follow closely!"
The dragonfly made of reeds in the hair trembled with every step. I stepped on the warm dirt road, startling the sparrows pecking at food on the side of the road.
Now is the harvest season, and the threshing ground in the village is filled with the sweet fragrance of new rice.
There was a stone mill that gurgled and spit out golden grains, and the snow-white juice poured into the wooden barrel like a waterfall.
Yuan Wanru came closer and grabbed a handful of rice to fill the millstone. The rice bran fell on her cheeks like a layer of fine snow.
Lu Jiangnian was so excited that he tried to learn how to use the bamboo sieve from the peasant woman beside him. However, after just a few shakes, his black coarse cloth robe got entangled with the bracket, and the sieve basket fell over with a loud bang!
The moment the white mist exploded, the children clapped their hands and laughed: "Your highness's butt is covered with grass!"
It turned out that when Lu Jiangnian was moving, a bundle of straw was hooked on his waist belt, and the golden ears of straw were dangling behind him.
Yuan Wanru laughed so hard that she fell into a pile of rice, with rice grains filling her sleeves.
Before he could stand up, his face was suddenly covered with white powder by a hand that smelled of rice.
"Lu Jiangnian!"
She grabbed the rice grains to fight back, but he grabbed her waist and pushed her into the pile of rice.
He suddenly pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Doctor Jiang has become a white-faced cat."
She thrust the rice ears into his collar with her backhand: "Little Luzi has turned into a scarecrow!"
The farmers around burst into laughter. Yuan Wanru quickly stood up and stayed away from him.
The sunlight filtered through the flying rice dust, illuminating the rice powder grains on her eyelashes.
Yuan Wanru raised her chin at him angrily: "If you dare to tease me, be careful or I will stab you with a golden needle."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a cry from the other side of the threshing ground: "Goudan broke his head!"
The noise in the threshing ground was split by sharp cries.
Next to the mud pile, a boy of seven or eight years old rolled over, holding his forehead with his hands, and blood flowed through his fingers onto his sunburned face.
The peasant woman holding him stamped her feet anxiously: "Goudan fell down while climbing the haystack!"
Lu Jiangnian walked in front carrying a medicine box on his back and shouted, "Make way, there is a doctor here."
The villagers made way for her, and they saw the pretty girl who had suddenly appeared walking quickly towards them, with the handsome young man carrying a medicine box in front of him leading the way for her.
Yuan Wanru half-knelt on the mud mixed with rice husks and carefully looked at the child's wound. He fell quite hard and the wound needed to be disinfected.
She turned around and called out, "Who has any strong liquor at home? Let me borrow it for a while."
Soon, someone ran back and brought a bottle of wine. Lu Jiangnian unscrewed the porcelain bottle and handed it to him. Yuan Wanru used the clear wine to wipe the blood off the child, and he cried heartbreakingly.
"Goudan is a little hero, right?"
Yuan Wanru picked up the golden needle and inserted it into the acupoint behind the child's ear as fast as a star.
The crying stopped suddenly, and Goudan stood there in a daze with tears in his eyes.
She took the opportunity to apply the powder to the wound, covering the bloody wound with brown powder. "Little Lu, give me a clean cloth."
Lu Jiangnian looked at her with amusement. She was able to call him "Little Luzi" easily.
He found a clean cloth in the medicine box, poured wine on the dagger, and then used the dagger to cut the cloth into strips and handed them to her.
Yuan Wanru took it and took the opportunity to look at him with an expression of undisguised approval.
She took the strip of cloth and deftly tied it around Goudan's head. The child touched the bow on his forehead and burst into laughter: "Fairy sister, my head doesn't hurt so much anymore!"
The villagers kept praising Yuan Wanru's medical skills.
The peasant woman only then realized that she had actually let the girl see her dog's head.
I didn't expect that she would figure it out so quickly!
She hesitated and said, "Doctor...the consultation fee..."
Lu Jiangnian was carefully helping Yuan Wanru wipe the blood off her fingers. Yuan Wanru shook her head when she heard him. "No need. It's not worth much."
The simple villagers were not willing to do so. They had always respected doctors very much. The woman selling bean cakes immediately gave them a few pieces of warm bean cakes and said, "It's a little thing, doctor, try it."
The old man with a hoe hanging on the grass brought out some hickory nuts. Even the peasant woman whose rice sieve was knocked over by Lu Jiangnian just now squeezed over and hung a bunch of taro tied with a red rope on the belt of the medicine box.
Yuan Wanru was frightened by their enthusiasm.
Signaled to Lu Jiangnian with his eyes: Go away!
Lu Jiangnian understood what he meant and shouted, "Get out of the way."
Everyone was confused and stopped what they were doing. Lu Jiangnian took the opportunity to hug his wife and ran out.
The two ran all the way to the stream. Lu Jiangnian put her down and looked at her teasingly: "Madam, you were so powerful just now, why did you run away in such a hurry?"
Yuan Wanru glared at him and said, "If you don't run now, I don't know how much stuff you will have to take later."
They didn't take the things that were stuffed into their mouths, but they didn't have time to return the taro hanging on the strap of the medicine box.
"We've already taken it, why don't we eat some taro?"
If the lady has a request, Lu Jiangnian will naturally satisfy it.
He forked the fish with swift movements, then built a pile of earth, put the taro in it, placed a wooden rack on top, and grilled the fish.
The fish were cooked first. After Yuan Wanru ate two fish, she smelled the burnt aroma of the taro.
Yuan Wanru was so greedy that she couldn't help but reach out to dig at the red dirt. Lu Jiangnian pulled her hand back and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Be careful of the burns."
He was not paying attention and his sleeves were burned by the sparks from the explosion.
"ah!"
Yuan Wanru pulled him to the stream, scooped up some water and poured it on him. The spark on his sleeve had long gone out, but she still didn't stop, insisting on soaking half of his body.
Lu Jiangnian looked at her helplessly: "Madam, you did this on purpose."
Yuan Wanru laughed: "Anyway, the weather is very good, the clothes will dry in no time, and you will be cooler."
He looked at her steadily, held her in his arms and walked to the stream together, "In that case, let's all get wet together. We husband and wife must share happiness and get our clothes wet together."
The two played by the stream until dusk.
"Little Lu, hold on to the medicine box. We are going home for dinner."
Lu Jiangnian drove the carriage and took her back to the town. When they arrived, he opened the curtain and saw her sleeping. A gentle smile appeared in his eyes.
He held her gently in his arms. Yuan Wanru opened her eyes in a daze: "Are we there yet?"
Lu Jiangnian said softly, "Go on sleeping, I'll call you later."
Yuan Wanru couldn't sleep.
She lazily snuggled in his arms, "Remember to remind me the day after tomorrow to change Goudan's medicine."
"good."
