Chapter 73 The Yuan and Li families are getting married
Wang Shuying looked at her little son on the bed, whose face was flushed with heat, and while bringing him cold water to wipe his hands and feet, she complained: "What kind of medicine did Mr. Zhang prescribe? Why doesn't Zhi'er's high fever go away? It’s so anxious!”
Li Dazhu looked at his son with a worried look on his face, "Why don't you just listen to Mr. Zhang and go see Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Xiao? Go now!" He stood up and was about to pick up the child.
But Wang Shuying stopped him and said, "You can't go. She didn't want you to do it before when she knew you could make a water dragon. It made you so embarrassed and embarrassed in front of so many people. Why should we ask her now! Besides, even if we Even if I go there, I don’t think she will save him!" She said angrily.
"Why are you bothering? Everything is over! The child's condition is more important now. Let's go check on her first!"
"No!" Wang Shuying shouted loudly, "I won't let her earn even if I have money!"
"You..." Li Dazhu was angry.
This bitch, how long has it been since she was still thinking about whether people took her money from her?
He wanted to refute but was helpless. He has always been the head of the house, and Wang Shuying is the head of the house. She has the final say in everything at home. Seeing that Wang Shuying disagreed, he had no choice but to sit back on the bench and said, "Then Zhi'er is so sick, tell me what to do!"
Wang Shuying thought for a moment, "Let's go to the Xingren Hall in the city. If we go now, we might be able to enter the city! Go to Mr. Zhang's house to borrow the oxcart, and go quickly!"
Li Dazhu sighed and had no choice but to borrow a bullock cart from Mr. Zhang's house, and rushed to the city with Wang Shuying and his son. But when the couple drove the ox cart to the city gate with torches, they saw that the city gate had been closed long ago. No matter how the couple beat and shouted, no one opened the door for them.
The couple shouted for a long time, but finally had no choice but to take the child home. On the way home, the child complained that he had a headache and vomited several times. Li Shuying gave the child water and hugged him. After struggling for a while, the child fell asleep in her arms. When they returned to the village, the village was already quiet, and people who had been busy for a day had already gone to bed.
Li Dazhu was worried about his son's condition and wanted to go to Mr. Zhang to check on the child again, but when he saw that the lights at Mr. Zhang's house had been turned off, Li Shuying touched his son's forehead again and it was no longer so hot. She felt that the child's high fever had subsided, so she said she would not disturb the third master, and went home with the child.
When they saw the child no longer had a fever the next day, they finally felt relieved. It's just that this child seems to have become less active and less fond of playing. He always sits there in a daze. They thought the child had just gotten sick and didn't take it to heart. Just then, Matchmaker Wang came to tell their eldest daughter, Li Qiaozhen, that they were getting married.
Matchmaker Wang is a well-known talker and has protected countless matchmakers. When Wang Shuying saw her coming to her door, she couldn't help but smile and greet her warmly, making things normal.
"Mrs. Li, your Qiaozhen is lucky! There is a good family who likes your Qiaozhen!" After being polite, Matchmaker Wang finally got down to business.
"Auntie, whose son is he from? What's his character like?" Wang Shuying also looked happy.
"This is Liu Lang from the Yuan family in Yuanjiawan. His name is Yuan Mochen. He is the direct grandson of the patriarch of their Yuan family. He has just turned nineteen this year and was a scholar who just passed the exam last year! He is also handsome. Your family If Qiaozhen can marry into their family, she will be waiting for happiness." Matchmaker Wang said eloquently.
"A member of the Yuan family!" Wang Shuying was a little hesitant. After all, Yuan Chuyi was still living in the village. She was kicked out of the family by the Yuan family and was forced to have no choice but to jump into a river. She felt that such people were too cruel.
Matchmaker Wang also saw Wang Shuying's hesitation, and continued: "Auntie knows what you are worried about. That Mrs. Yuan, oh no, it's Mrs. Xiao. Her situation is different. The Yuan family did that for Consider the family’s reputation. If a high-ranking Yuan family has a daughter like that, wouldn’t their family’s reputation be completely ruined?”
Matchmaker Wang's tongue was as bright as a lotus flower, which made Wang Shuying understand that everything she said made sense. She also felt that the virtue of a woman from the early Yuan Dynasty was bad, so she didn't want to have any contact with her.
Seeing that Wang Shuying was tempted, Matchmaker Wang continued:
"The Yuan family is really a famous family! Not only does the eldest man serve as an official in the capital, but Liu Lang is a scholar, Liu's brother-in-law Yuan Honghao is also a scholar. I heard that he is ready to participate. It's autumn this year, and everyone says he has a chance of passing the provincial examination. Once he passes it, he will be the master of the imperial examination! Where else can you find such a high-ranking family besides the Yuan family!"
Wang Shuying immediately beamed and nodded and agreed to the marriage without much thought. The next day, Matchmaker Wang and the Yuan family came to the house with the betrothal gift to formally propose the marriage. The gongs and drums were played in a lively and solemn manner, which caused a sensation in the whole village.
Yuan Chuyi also knew the news, but she didn't have time to go and watch the excitement. She was currently busy with the opening of the medicine shop and inn.
Under the supervision of Mr. Zhao, the hospital has been completed and renovated. In the past two days, people are filling the medicine cabinets with medicinal materials. The inn has been completed and renovated, with carved beams and painted buildings and an antique look. It looks calm and atmospheric at first glance, giving people a feeling of being at home. As long as Yunduo finishes training all the guys, when the auspicious day arrives in two days, it will open at the same time as the drug store.
She was taking Mr. Zhang to prepare medicinal materials in the medicine shop when the village chief came. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I thought something was wrong, but it turned out that I came to borrow a keel waterwheel.
"There is no water in the fields now, and the ground is about to crack. We are thinking that while there is still some water in the river, we can borrow your car to pump water up and water it, and also store water in the pond. Do you think this is okay? "The village chief said. The water in the river is now almost bottoming out.
Why don't we just borrow a water tanker? Just borrow it. Anyway, our land has been watered, the cotton and corn planted there have grown very tall, the pond is full, and the tanker is idle as well. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, without saying anything, he asked the village chief to have someone carry him.
After getting the keel water tanker, the village chief didn't even have time to go to the Li family to see how they were hiring. He led a dozen strong men in the village to ride the tanker to pump water up and water the villagers' land at the foot of Beishan. Water once.
Li Dazhu's house was very lively today, and Wang Guifen naturally came to their house to help. When everyone saw her, they naturally asked her about Zhang Xiujuan's marriage, especially Matchmaker Wang.
"Mother Chunlin, your sister Juan is not too young now. It's time to kiss her. What do you want to say? I'll keep an eye on her!"
When it comes to sister Juan's marriage, Wang Guifen gets a headache. I don’t know what happened to Sister Juan recently. She has become taciturn. She always stays in the house weaving and doesn’t talk much. At first she thought that the child had come to his senses and was just waiting at home to talk about getting married, but in the past two days she realized that this was not the case at all.
