Happy Marriage

It is said that there is an autumn rain and a cold. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, two rains fell, and the autumn wind became cooler every day.

The pomegranates in Ansheng's yard are already ripe, revealing pomegranate seeds that are as crystal clear as agate, and the branches are heavily bent.

An Sheng peeled the pomegranate seeds while reading, and he did not dare to slack off for a day.

Acupuncture is even harder.

Leng Nanxian once said: "A master craftsman can give people rules, but not make people clever." If you want to achieve the unity of heart and hand, you can't do it overnight, and you need to study hard.

She firmly believed that she would be able to persuade the old lady to return to the medicine house.

She often uses her own needles, and according to the book, she tries to get rid of distracting thoughts, concentrate on her qi, concentrate her dantian qi on her fingers and wrists, gather her whole body thoughts on the needle tip, feel the touch at the needle tip keenly, and control the periosteum of both knees. The depth of the insertion at the ligament, the degree of twisting of the fingertip, and the rapid advance and retreat of the needle tip.

There were few people in the yard disturbing, and it was so quiet that the sound of the koi in the fish tank was clearly audible.

After calming down, An Sheng felt that his ears and eyes became clearer, and the silver needle was handy.

Xia Yuanwai has not come to the house for a letter recently. The merchants who came from the south said that there were several torrential rains in the south, which broke the road and could not be repaired for about a while and a half. Perhaps the trip was delayed.

The uneasy heart of the family finally fell, and they waited day by day.

Xue's mother and daughter hated An Sheng so much that her teeth tickled, and she was full of bad water. She even complimented An Sheng without smiling.

Even the old woman took it on behalf of the master, and when she returned to the mansion, she heard that she had been whipped a few times, and it was not painful or itchy.

An Sheng knew that even the old lady couldn't keep her, just like the coral snake on her wrist, she might suddenly bite herself at some point. But she is the key to her own investigation of the cause of her mother's death, and the only witness that can be broken through. For the time being, she must be left alive.

An Sheng tried hard to recall her mother's eating habits before her death, and secretly remembered all the foods she liked, including tea.

She clearly remembered the words of Xia Ziwu in her previous life: "Your aunt is not suffering from some kind of cough and asthma, but a disease that even the old lady carefully treated according to the recipe given by my mother."

In the past, even the old lady was only a cook in the house, and no one would have thought that the Xue's mother and daughter would bribe her and secretly murdered her mother.

After thinking about it, she should not be so daring to put poison directly into A-Niang's meal, then, according to Xia Ziwu, it should be based on the principle of mutual growth and mutual restraint in food.

From Leng Nanxian's study, An Sheng found a few books about the mutual generation and restraint of food, and brought them back to the mansion. Now that I have free time, I often read it, and record everything that is symptomatic of A-Niang's illness during her lifetime.

When An Sheng did these things, he was careful and locked the door, worried that others would see it, spread it into Xue's ears, and cause her suspicion.

From what happened last time on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, it can be seen that Xue's mother and daughter have become suspicious of themselves and are on guard.

She is staying at home now, which is equivalent to being cut off by Xue's wings, so in the next step, she must start to slaughter herself.

The Dragon Boat Festival knocked on the door softly and walked in, and said to An Sheng, "Miss, Madam, please come to the front."

An Sheng didn't lift his head: "What?"

Dragon Boat Festival shook his head: "I don't know. But"

"But what?"

"Today, a few matchmakers came to the mansion. They were having tea in the front hall, making a lot of noise."

An Sheng put down the book in his hand: "Matchmaker? They are here, what are they doing to tell me to go out and show my face?"

Dragon Boat Festival does not speak.

An Sheng stood up and left.

"Miss!" Duanwu shouted behind him, "Are you going out like this?"

An Sheng looked down, wearing a smoky blue satin skirt and soft-soled embroidered shoes, comfortable and simple, and generous: "What's wrong with this outfit?"

Dragon Boat Festival faltered and said: "I'm afraid that the lady has the heart to match you, and explained that you should wear the Luo skirt that was newly made a few days ago."

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, and touched his loose bun: "Grease and powder, and dress up in a new way, so that you can sell her a good price?"

Turn around and leave.

In the front hall, a group of old ladies chattered, startled, it was lively, and your words and my words made Xue shi's eyes wide and their mouths closed.

An Sheng was far away when he heard the roaring laughter inside and flew out like wings.

With a sneer in her heart, she stepped into the door of the living room, where the laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads and looked at her up and down in surprise.

An Sheng only felt that the whole room was full of flowers, red and willows, mixed with fat and powder, as if he had entered a flower bush and was dazzled.

Xue Shi was sitting in the middle of the master's seat, and the wrinkles from the smile had not stretched, and hung at the end of his eyes.

An Sheng did not hesitate, stepped forward generously, and directed at Xue Shifufu's body: "Happy mother."

Xue shi waved at her, and the outsider approached her with extra intimacy: "Come here, come to my mother."

An Sheng followed his words and walked over.

Mrs Xue introduced to the matchmaker who was wearing red and green in the room: "This is the second young lady in my house, and she will be seventeen after the new year."

An Sheng nodded at those people as a greeting, without a trace of timidity.

The women immediately praised her vigorously, and their sharp eyes slid over her face and waist with a contemplative meaning, making An Sheng feel that he was the item for sale on the chopping board.

"Second miss is a real sign. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as sinking fish and falling geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers."

"That's right, it's a good temperament. At first glance, it's knowledgeable. It's not like the petty family from poor people who haven't seen the world."

An Sheng only smiled slightly, without any shyness, as if it wasn't her who were complimenting these people with gibberish.

The wives boasted and their voices dropped.

Why is this second lady so thick-skinned?

Xue shi covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled: "My daughter is the most lovable of my daughters, so I have always held it in my hand and can't bear to let it go. In the future, unless she is a dragon and a phoenix, you will never want to marry my daughter. ."

The old woman followed suit: "No wonder Madam is so picky, the second miss is indeed a good talent."

"Such a girl needs a prince and a general to be a good match."

The old women said flattering words against their hearts, and their eyes flickered, each with a ghost.

An Sheng blinked: "Is the mother planning to tell her daughter that the match will not work?"

When she asked so frankly, several old ladies couldn't help but be stunned.

Xue's embarrassed smile: "Where, where, these ladies told your cousin a few matches today. It's hard for me to decide. You always have ideas, so I asked you to come and help the staff."

Xue Xiuliang's marriage? The Xue family dared to do it, but did not dare to take it. She even used this as a pretext. Who would not know it?

A man should be married, and a woman should be married. An Sheng can't refuse this matter. If she is a good and innocent family, she will marry if she is married. She is not embarrassed at all, as long as she can escape the palm of Xue's hand, it's here. Anywhere is better than this crisis-ridden Xia family.

It's just that Xue's heart is not only crooked, but also dark. She has searched for so many matchmakers, but it is not for herself to pick Ruyi Langjun, and she is not necessarily holding some bad water in her heart, picking up crooked melons and cracking dates. Woolen cloth.

These matchmakers are also ignorant of their conscience. For the sake of matching money, they are afraid they will be in line with the Xue family.

It's not that An Sheng treats the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but that the Xue family is in such a hurry, taking advantage of his father's absence, eager to settle his life's major events, can he be so kind?
