Chapter 236 - Farmhouse
Xu Zifan had a little chat with Fang Mingda while he was taking the medicine, and got a general understanding of his situation, and felt that it was a good idea to stay in his house temporarily, so he went to see his house with Fang Mingda.
The house was bought by Fang’s family before he left. Xu is because he may not be able to see it again after they leave. Xu feels that he owes him a little over the years. The house bought for him is in a good location. There are five rooms in it. There is a relatively spacious yard. This is to prepare all the rooms where he will marry a wife and have children in the future. Although each room is quite small, Xu Zifan and the others would have enough room if they moved in.
Fang Mingda had lived in the hospital for many years. Dr. Tong lost his wife in his early years. After his son was admitted as a scholar, he went to Beijing to go to his grandfather’s home. He did not want to leave his homeland, so he stayed here alone and lived in the backyard of the hospital. . Fang Mingda has been with him for many years, more like grandparents. It was just that Dr. Tong considered that Fang Mingda was 15 years old, and when he was about to look at the marriage, he should be independent, so he asked him to live in his own house, and wanted him to be more aware of his responsibility for a family.
It’s just that Fang Mingda lives alone and feels uncomfortable by finding someone else to live with. Rarely feels tempered with Xu Zifan, with a little admiration and envy, so he strongly recommends his house and hopes that Xu Zifan will move in with him.
Xu Zifan looked at the house and was very satisfied, so he said to Fang Mingda: “I haven’t discussed the move to town with my parents. I will go back and talk to them. I will come back and forth with you when the discussion is over. Wild ginseng, I also picked some other medicinal materials, and after two days of concocting them, I will take them to the medical clinic, and then I will talk about it.”
“Brother Xu, did you pick other medicinal materials? Are the medicinal materials in the mountains of your village very good? I want to go too!”
Xu Zifan rolled up his sleeves to show him the wound on his arm, and said: “How did you become my tiger bone and tiger whip? I almost died this time. Good medicinal materials are not so good to pick. But this is something. Don’t tell others, my family don’t know, if you know it, you won’t let me go into the mountains.”
Fang Mingda was startled and nodded repeatedly, “Don’t worry, I’m sure not to say. But going into the mountains is so dangerous, Brother Xu, you still don’t go. Master, as a doctor, rarely enters the mountains to collect medicine, just buy medicinal materials. Now that you have the talent, you don’t have to take such a risk.”
“Well, I know, I will be careful.”
After Xu Zifan came out of Fang Mingda’s house, he asked about the housing prices in the town and the price of renting a house. He probably had a spectrum in his heart, so he quickly returned to the village with the jars he bought and various medicinal materials. This time I actually got a piece of news in the hospital. Fang Mingda told him that their accountant had miscalculated again. Doctor Tong had a meal with the accountant. After a long talk, he said that he would let the accountant do it at the end of this month. Don’t do it. Therefore, Xu Zifan will start working at the beginning of next month.
With the definite news, it’s time to start preparing. However, Xu Zifan was worried about Zheng Chuan’s injury, and went to Zheng Chuan’s house first after returning to the village. He gave Zheng Chuan a few pairs of medicines, told her how to take them, then washed the jars and started to soak the medicine wine. Zheng Chuan resumed his attire as a man again, and Xu Zifan looked at her several times while he was busy.
Zheng Chuan frowned and said, “What are you looking at?”
Xu Zifan turned his eyes on her face a few times, and said, “I’m just curious, how did you do it? No one has discovered the flaws for so many years. What’s on your face? You can’t see your original skin color at all.”
Zheng Chuan turned slightly, looked away awkwardly and said: “It’s nothing unusual. This is a kind of ointment that my master got for sunburn when he was young. It was given by a monk who traveled to protect the skin. My master remembered it wrong. The formula, the color is made like this, it happens that I pretend to be a man dressed as a man. I apply ointment to all the exposed skin, then paint thick eyebrows to modify, put on thick armor and then wear men’s clothes. That’s how it’s been raised a little bit in the boots. Normally nobody pays attention to me, so naturally nobody notices my flaws.”
Xu Zifan thought for a while. According to everyone’s perception, Zheng Chuan is a man who can kill beasts alone. He doesn’t look for any flaws at all. It is normal to not get along with each other and not pay attention. Even if it was him, he thought Zheng Chuan was a man from the beginning, and he hadn’t looked at her clothes and appearance carefully. Zheng Chuan dressed so carefully again that it was strange to find out.
Xu Zifan exclaimed: “You are really amazing, you can hide it for so long. But have you thought about the future? What are your plans for the future? If you suddenly change back to women’s clothing and tell everyone that you are a daughter, no one will accept it.”
Zheng Chuan looked down at his dress and frowned, “I don’t know. Master said that he hopes I will have a happy and fulfilling home in the future, but he didn’t tell me what to do. But I don’t regret that women disguise themselves as men. , I can’t hunt freely. I must have a lot of troubles over the years.”
Xu Zifan nodded, feeling that his ideas were not yet mature, and there were many problems that needed to be solved, so he didn’t say them, so as not to give Zheng Chuan hope in vain and make her happy. After the two talked for a while, Xu Zifan soaked the medicated wine, and Zheng Chuan asked him to put all the medicated wine and tiger skins in the cellar, so it was safer. After finishing all this, Xu Zifan was tired enough again, wiping his sweat and said, “I still have to continue to exercise. I will be tired after doing such a thing.”
Zheng Chuan said, “I can accompany you into the mountains when I recover. You can exercise more by walking in the mountains.”
Xu Zifan shook his head, washed his hands and face with a basin of water, and said, “I won’t go into the mountains often in the future. Ji Shitang in the town asked me to be the clerk, and he also asked me to gain experience in treating people there. I plan to do it at the end of the month. Move to the town and work there in the future.”
Zheng Chuan was taken aback, “Are you going to move to town?”
“Well, no one in the village asked me to see a doctor. It was too slow to win their trust. Dr. Tong of Ji Shitang tested me and knew I was capable, and he was willing to let me see a doctor from him. This is a chance for him. In the future, there is no need to go to the mountains to collect medicines or copy books. It is a very suitable job to be able to read and prepare for scientific examinations when there are no patients.” Xu Zifan wiped his face and smiled at Zheng Chuan, “Ji Shitang boy He is very nice. Let us rent his house. I plan to take my parents and Xiao Lian with him.”
Zheng Chuan couldn’t tell how he felt, but he was very disappointed. Just getting along well with a person, this person also knows her secret, so that she can relax and get along easily, he is about to move out suddenly. But when Xu Zifan said so, she didn’t have any reason to keep him. Maybe in the future she would have to live the same life alone.
[Zheng Zixuan’s heartbeat is detected to be uncomfortable. Based on the analysis of her body data, she is unhappy. 】
Xu Zifan was taken aback, and suddenly thought that his behavior was definitely a scumbag in ancient times. Although he respected Zheng Chuan’s wishes and did not bring up the topic of responsibility again, the fact is that he saw his body and moved the whole family away. He has not given a promise. This is not what a scumbag is!
But after all that awkward atmosphere disappeared, is he going to bring up sensitive topics again? Xu Zifan looked at Zheng Chuan and bit his scalp and said: “Your injury still needs to be reviewed several times. It is inconvenient for you to go to town. I will come back to see you every few days. If you have anything you want, you can tell I, I’ll bring you here when I come back from town.”
Zheng Chuan bowed his head and said, “No, I will go to the town to prescribe the medicine after taking these medicines. It was the same with injuries before, nothing.”
“Isn’t it because we didn’t know each other before. Now that I’m here, you don’t have to work so hard.” Xu Zifan said this, and he said it more easily, “Don’t tell me so. Actually, I think you are very good. What I say to you is also serious, so you should consider it carefully. Well, it’s getting late, I’ll go back first, and see you tomorrow.”
Zheng Chuan thought that he had taken off his shoes and socks and undressed her clothes that day. With a fever on his face, he turned and entered the house. He leaned on the window and looked out until he heard the sound of the door. She sat on the soft couch, picked up the half-made skirt, confused. After staying for a while, she digs out the savings of the past few years from under the bed and checked it again. The total is 68 taels of silver.
When she went into the mountains to find Master, Master was already seriously injured. At that time, the master shook her hand and said guiltily that she had made the wrong decision and shouldn’t let her pretend to be a man, which would delay her. He also said that I hope she can have a happy and successful family in the future, full of children and grandchildren. But the master also said that most men are untrustworthy, especially her situation is more difficult to find, it is best to save more money to recruit personal patrimony, let her be the master.
She doesn’t know how much money is needed to recruit a husband and son. She has been hunting very hard for the past three years. She heard people say that she is an old girl if she can’t get married at the age of 17. , Began to observe how other girls live. It’s just that she secretly paid attention to the men of the right age in the village. She always felt that it was inappropriate. She didn’t want to find someone to deal with her life at will, and she didn’t want to be rejected by her in-laws. It was not a happy and complete home.
Now Xu Zifan has accidentally learned her secret, and said that she will be responsible…If her talents were to recruit Xu Zifan, it would definitely not work? Then… would Xu Zifan be a good husband? When Xu Zifan goes to work, he must bring his parents and younger sisters. Isn’t such a talent able to make a family happy?
