"Very good," Zhong Mingwei was sweating from being rubbed by her, and was panting a little. He was laughing softly, "In the past, the teachers in the study gave my handwriting to other princes as a copybook. What do you think?"
"Wow. You must be very good at writing," Ah Chou said. He twisted a hot towel and put it on his calf to warm him up. He put another hot towel on his knee, "Then are the other princes' handwriting better than yours? Are there any...are there any...from what?"
"The disciple surpasses the master." Zhong Mingwei responded with a hissing sound.
"Is the handkerchief too hot?" Ah Chou was a little worried. "Do you want to add some cold water?"
"No, the heat is quite comfortable," Zhong Mingwei said. He paused. He frowned again, "My knees are very sore."
"It's probably because he was frozen too hard before, and the cold has penetrated into his bones." Ah Chou sighed softly. He twisted the hot towel again and covered Zhong Mingwei's red knees with it, saying worriedly, "Don't let your legs get frozen again in the future."
When Zhong Mingwei was sent from the capital to Ningguta, it was the coldest time of the year. He was already seriously injured, and it was bumpy on the road for several months, so how could it not get worse? What's more, the weather was so cold. The cold was so severe that he collapsed when he arrived in Ningguta. This was naturally the reason.
Zhong Mingwei also knew this, and fearing that Ah Chou would worry, he said, "It's okay. It's so hot, and I'm wrapped in a blanket every day. I sweat all day long, so how can I catch a cold?"
"It's hot now, of course, but what should we do when winter comes?" Ah Chou looked around the empty and simple room, and then thought about the thin quilts in the box. He was so worried that he gritted his teeth and said, "No, we have to find someone to build a kang in a few days. Otherwise, your body will return to its original state after all the hard work it has taken to recover in winter."
Zhong Mingwei also knew this, but...
Zhong Mingwei bit his lip and asked, "Does the family have enough money?"
"I told you not to worry about these things! You are always so talkative!" Ah Chou muttered, and threw a handkerchief over him again, pressing hard on his knees. After a pause, he said softly, "You really don't have to worry about it. How much do we spend on food and drink every day? I still have more than ten taels of silver on me. Not to mention building a kang, it's more than enough to tear this place down and rebuild it."
Zhong Mingwei knew that Achou must have lied. She said it was ten taels of silver, but in fact it was probably only seven or eight taels, or even five or six taels. Zhong Mingwei felt indescribably aggrieved and annoyed. He had never thought that he would be so worried about a few taels of silver. He was even thinking about what business he could do to support his family and not let Achou be so tired alone.
But what else can he do when he can't even get out of bed?
"Don't worry," Zhong Mingwei said nothing for a long time. Ah Chou knew that Zhong Mingwei would never believe her bold words, so she lost her temper. She reached out and grabbed Zhong Mingwei's hand, gently pulling it, and whispered, "Grandma Chen down the mountain said she has agreed to get me a job. I can make money, really can. Don't worry, okay?"
Zhong Mingwei felt even more depressed. He felt that his heart was filled with depression. After a long while, he said sullenly, "What Grandma Chen? What kind of work did you get?"
Seeing that Zhong Mingwei finally spoke, Ah Chou hurriedly said, "There is a Jixian Book House at the foot of the mountain. The teacher there is surnamed Chen. When I went down the mountain, I went there to ask for water a few times. Grandma Chen in their family is very kind. Seeing that I am good at embroidery, she said that she would find work for me in the village. She is a good man and will definitely find work for me. I am also good at embroidery, which is a serious skill in the palace. People here are very rare. In the future, more and more people will definitely ask me to do work, and our lives will definitely get better and better."
