Happy Marriage

Xue's face was a little troubled: "It's not that this year, when my sister gets married, the expenses are a bit big and I'm stretched thin, so I have to be a little shabby."

"Humph!" The old lady snorted coldly: "You snatched mud from your mouth, and the vicious reputation of Buddha statue stripping gold has long been spread. If this is not the case, don't rely on Sister Ran. You have lost your money. Now, I know it well, or we'll settle this account piece by piece."

Xue murmured in a low voice: "My master is a dead brain, and he is a decent official. He has never brought a single rice husk to his house, and the salary in the court is not enough for him to spend on his own, so it is a courtesy. The daily expenses of the family depend on the shop. Earnings, barely making ends meet, I'm also trying to be frugal."

Xue Shi was telling the truth. Although Xia Yuan was an official outsider, he had no political achievements and was looked down upon by others, but he was timid and did not dare to guard himself and steal like other officials.

And his salary is not much, which is really not enough for people's love and New Year exchanges.

"You also know that it is not easy for a man to support a family. The long-term workers in our house are also a family of young and old, and they all count on this salary. During the festival, a little bit of meat and rice can make their family have a happy reunion festival. You will only work hard when you do things for you. If you deduct everything, how much can you have in total? With a little sesame seeds, you won’t be able to make a fortune, but you have to suffer for these long-term jobs!”

The old lady babbled on, and Xue's face was ashamed, and she hurriedly admitted her mistake: "My daughter-in-law knows I'm wrong. When the long-term workers come back after the festival, the supplements that should be made up will not fall."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, this reputation is worth a lot of money, especially if your man is an official in the court, don't go out and be scolded by people pointing at the spine."

Xue complied, and the old lady changed the topic again: "In a blink of an eye, several sisters have reached the age to talk about marriage. As a mother, you have to work harder and teach more. Otherwise, in the future Marrying someone, there are no rules, and being sent back by my husband's family will lose all the face of our Xia family."

Mrs. Xue was taught by the old lady in front of so many juniors, and she still couldn't get angry, so she could only listen carefully: "Sister Zheng, this child was taught and taught by your mother, and An Sheng and her sisters naturally don't. Dare to compare. But Zixian Ziwu and the others are all staying at home, studying female red, and familiarizing with the "Nv's Commandments", and the daughter-in-law does not dare to slack off for a moment."

The old lady didn't like Xue's eyes, so she was able to pick out the reason: "Ziwu is fine, Zixian is weak since childhood, didn't the doctor say that she can't work hard, pay attention to let her combine work and rest, not too much tired."

Xia Zixian hurriedly got up and defended: "Mother has been telling her face to face, thank you grandmother for thinking about it."

The old lady snorted coldly: "I don't worry about each one."

An Zheng gathered up the wool felt that had slipped down from her lap due to a moment of excitement, and wrapped it tightly around her knees.

The old lady beat her legs and frowned.

An Zheng immediately asked with concern, "Do you need Zheng'er to get you a soup pot?"

The old lady waved her hand: "That's it, it won't do much to cover it, don't bother."

Xia Zixian also asked worriedly: "My grandmother has a leg problem again?"

The old lady nodded: "No matter what year the weather changes, I can't delay the crime, and the pain is so painful that I can't sleep well at night."

Xia Zixian hesitated, glanced at An Sheng, and said in a huff, "If grandma is in severe pain, why don't you let the second sister show you."

An Sheng immediately raised his face and looked at Xia Zixian in surprise, a little surprised.

The old lady turned her face and asked suspiciously, "An Sheng? What will she look at?"

Xue Shi slapped her thigh and stood up: "Oh, how did I forget it? My mother doesn't know anything, An Sheng is so incredible now. It should be within reach."

"Dr. Leng?" The eldest lady exclaimed: "But the genius Leng who is praised by the current emperor as 'medicine and fragrance'?"

Xia Ziwu replied, "Exactly."

The old lady asked suspiciously, "Who is the cold doctor?"

The eldest lady replied: "You old nobleman has forgotten a lot. You forgot that the master in the palace was ill two years ago. As a royal doctor, he was rewarded with an errand awarded by the deputy hospital, but he rejected it, and ordinary people can't ask for it. How can Sister Sheng, such a great creation, be appreciated by the cold doctor?"

"I remembered when you mentioned it." The old lady pondered for a while, then turned to look at An Sheng, who had been silent: "A girl who has not left the cabinet, what kind of medical skills should she show up to learn? And you can't hang the pot to save the world."

An Sheng didn't expect that Xue's actually offered to let him diagnose and treat the old lady, and brought the old lady's war on himself, and smiled sweetly: "The fourth sister Zixian's vertigo is difficult to cure for a long time. Doctor Leng said that acupuncture and moxibustion can be eradicated, but we need to persevere. We can’t always bother the magic doctor in our house. We learned acupuncture and moxibustion because of the great doctor’s persistence. ."

The old lady's anger subsided, and she snorted coldly: "This reason is barely justifiable. The old genius doctor is willing to give some pointers, which can be regarded as a little good fortune from you."

Xia Ziwu on the side covered his lips and chuckled, sarcastically: "It's still an old genius doctor, but he's just a young man, and he's alone, and he's always in the same room, so it's not too embarrassing to panic."

Xia Zixian hurriedly tugged at Xia Ziwu's sleeve: "Third sister is a bit exaggerated. In the past, there were still patients coming and going."

It's good that she didn't explain, this explanation is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the female relatives present began to discuss.

The old lady immediately became anxious: "How can it be possible?! People are talking too much, and again and again, do you want this festival? It's absurd! These children are confused, is it possible that the second child is also confused? How do you not know? Discipline? Eating rice and salt for decades for nothing!"

An Sheng hurriedly explained: "It's not just me and Leng Shenyi in the medicine room, there are two people, a sister-in-law and a child."

"That's also indecent! Can the sisters in our house be the same as those wild girls in the countryside? No worries?"

The eldest lady also followed suit and said, "Your grandmother is also for your own good. She is worried that she has ulterior motives to talk nonsense and ruin her reputation. This is the crux of the relationship, and it will not be easy to marry in the future."

An Sheng did not expect that Xia Ziwu and Xia Zixian would bring up the old things again in public today, adding fuel to the mix. The grandmother valued the reputation of the boudoir the most, and the rules were strict, so she would definitely prevent herself from going to the medicine house to study medicine in the future.

An Zheng raised her face and coaxed softly: "Grandma, please calm down and say something. Your knees are so hot that you can't stand the cold wind."

The old lady hummed angrily, her anger still lingering: "You can't write two Xia characters in one stroke, what they lost is our face, can you not be anxious?"

She pounded her aching knees, and there was some acupuncture-like pain, and she couldn't help but let out a soft "hiss".

Xia Zixian said with a look of guilt: "If grandmother is to blame, then blame Zixian. It's all Zixian who is not good enough, and the second sister went to learn this acupuncture for me."

His voice was trembling and his eyebrows were furrowed, which made me feel pity and couldn't bear to blame.

Xue Shi sighed distressedly: "I also strongly opposed An Sheng's appearance, but Zi Xian's condition has obviously improved, and there is hope for a cure. As a mother, I am also contradictory."

The old lady had a hesitant look on her face, obviously a little soft-hearted.

Xia Zixian immediately saw the needle and inserted the needle: "Grandmother, Leng Shenyi is very skilled in medicine. This acupuncture technique is really well-deserved. Let An Sheng show you first. If it really works? It's also a good thing."

When the eldest lady heard the words, she immediately objected: "Leng Shenyi's medical skills are naturally nothing to say, but Sister Sheng has just learned a few days? What kind of fur can you understand? This is not a joke. Let her start acupuncture and moxibustion for your grandmother, too. Great courage."

As soon as Mrs. Shen spoke, the young ladies below immediately agreed. An Sheng did not say a word, but instead became the target of public criticism.
