Chapter 401 Reunion in Winter
Chapter 401 Reunion in winter
"I'm not." Miao Peilan twisted her waist and acted coquettishly. "When I got home, there were people everywhere. I didn't have a chance to talk to you. Just talk here and go back."
"Okay" Zuo Shaoyang hugged her tightly, covered her hands in the palm of his hand, and heated her hands to warm her hands. (Niuwen Novel~ Read novels online)
Miao Peilan giggled happily, snuggled in his arms, and said happily what happened these days, including the hard work and joy of autumn harvest, the double harvest of 20 acres of land sold by others, the envy of the people in all corners of the country, the distress of transplanting medicinal materials, the excitement of successful transplanting, etc.
Zuo Shaoyang also briefly talked about the other party’s remorse of the marriage on his blind date three times, and treated Qiao Qiaoer. Qiao Qiaoer followed him back to Hezhou and treated a high-ranking official himself. The high-ranking official recommended that he take the imperial examination, so he had to go back to the capital after the New Year.
When Miao Peilan heard this, her smile suddenly froze, as if she was frozen by ice and snow.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like me taking the imperial examination?"
"No," Miao Peilan quickly melted her already stiff smile, but smiled reluctantly: "But, I just rely on the Jinshi, are you going to be an official in the capital?"
"Isn't it good for me to be an official?"
"Of course, but I am kind-hearted. Once I become an official, I heard that the official is a sucker and he doesn't spit out bones. Can I beat them?"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Haha, don't worry, if I become an official in the medical examination, I will also be a medical official, an official who treats people's illnesses. Although I have the title of an official, I actually have no power, and I still treat people's illnesses. No matter whether I care about people, money or affairs, I don't have to intrigue with people, and I won't even vomit bones if I eat them."
Miao Peilan was immediately happy: "That's good, but I am an official in the capital, and then Lan'er will not see me anymore."
Zuo Shaoyang stroked her cold face lovingly and smiled: "Silly Dan, you go to Beijing with me to take the exam this time. If I really pass the medical examination and become a medical officer in Beijing, you should accompany me, okay?"
"Really?" Miao Peilan was overjoyed and couldn't believe her ears, looking at him anxiously.
"Well of course it's true that your mother and younger siblings stay in our house in Hezhou. With my mother here, I will take good care of them."
"Okay." Miao Peilan jumped and hugged Zuo Shaoyang, and could go to Beijing with her sweetheart. In the future, she felt that the happiness in her heart was like a spring water, rippling all over her body. Then she thought about it and said a little worriedly: "But will the master agree?"
Zuo Shaoyang was stunned for a moment. His father valued his medical examination in Beijing this time and had high hopes for becoming a medical official in the future. Anything that could damage this may strongly oppose it. Miao Peilan was just an entrustment concubine. If they went to the capital together, they would be a bit similar to living together unmarriedly, especially if they had not married yet, they lived with another woman who was not even her concubine. This would probably cause criticism, and my father might not agree.
However, Zuo Shaoyang had already made up his mind to convince his father, and smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll tell him."
"Yeah," Miao Peilan nodded, "Where is that little sister? Will she go with us too?"
It was already discussed last time that the three women served one husband together, so Miao Peilan naturally thought of her.
"If she wants, she can go together."
"Well, then let's ask her."
"Don't worry, let's talk about it after the New Year. I'll leave after the New Year."
Miao Peilan looked back at the fields under the hillside and the medicinal materials on the hillside, and said, "But what should I do if the fields are?"
"Rent to someone else to plant."
"Where is the medicinal material?"
"Leave it to someone else to take care of."
"They're not well taken care of"
"Study it, recruit a few medicinal farmers and give them a higher salary. Teach them well these days and you will learn it. Growing medicinal materials is easier than growing crops. No problem."
"No" Miao Peilan knew that these are rare medicinal materials and could not be bought in medicine shops. They are essential medicinal materials for Zuo Shaoyang to treat people. She has been taking care of these medicinal materials and has feelings for them. Now she wants to leave them behind, and she really can't bear it. She raised her face and said, "Why don't we transplant them to the capital?"
Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "Transplant to the capital? The capital is not as good as the countryside. There are fields everywhere that can be cultivated, and there is no place to plant it."
Miao Peilan said to herself: "It would be great if we could move the old house to the capital. We could plant these medicinal materials in a back garden as big as the old house."
Zuo Shaoyang said: "Yes, a senior official gave me a house. Unfortunately, it's very small, and growing flowers and plants is okay. It's not enough to grow medicinal materials on a large scale. Mr. Qiao's house is quite spacious, several times larger than our old house. Many places in the back garden are empty. If you use these medicinal materials to grow, it would be enough. She was sick this time, and I have been treating her, and this time I came back with me. However, that is someone else's place, so I can only look at it."
Miao Peilan hurriedly said, "Miss Qiaoer came to Hezhou to treat you last time. You happened to be in the capital. She came back with you too?"
"Yeah, yeah."
"How is her illness?"
"It's better, but it still takes time to recuperate. She is unable to get angry, so she can only treat it slowly."
Miao Peilan gritted her teeth gently, reached out to put her arms around Zuo Shaoyang's neck and said, "Miss Qiao'er isn't your girl. Tell her about it, is it okay to borrow her back garden to grow her medicinal materials?"
"this……"
"If you pass the medical examination and settle in the capital, you will need these medicinal materials to treat people in the future. I know you are in a dilemma, so I will tell her that she and I are still very compatible."
"That's fine. As long as she agrees, of course it's good. But I have to wait until my medical exam is completed and I become an official in the capital again. I have to live in the capital for a long time before I can do this. Moreover, it's difficult to transplant in the middle of winter, so I have to wait until the spring is in full bloom."
"Okay, I'll tell her first. I'll ask someone to transplant it out later."
"Okay."
A gust of cold wind blew, Zuo Shaoyang shivered smartly, Miao Peilan smiled and said, "Okay, let's see if you are so cold, let's go back."
The two of them walked hand in hand on the vast snowfield, chatting and laughing while slowly returning to the city.
The two of them were not in a hurry to go home, so they went straight to the Qingxiang Teahouse.
The tea shop has changed, the door has been changed into three thick silk cotton door curtains, and the wooden walls and windows on the street have been remade, and all the windows have been changed into floor-to-ceiling windows to reduce the number of window lattices and paste white gauze with good light transmission but not breathable to make window paper. In this way, the lobby looks very bright.
The two of them picked up the curtains and entered the lobby, feeling warm. After a glance, they found that there were large copper stoves everywhere in the lobby. A large copper tube was led out of the kitchen, around the four corners of the lobby, and then extended outside. It seemed that it was the chimney of the stove. Using the residual heat of boiling water for heating, Sang Xiaomei's idea really coincided with herself.
The tea shop is very warm, no wonder there are many tea shops, almost full of them, and the noisy and funny jokes are very lively.
Huang Qin was holding a large copper pot and talking to several tea chefs. Behind the counter, Dad Sang was flipping through the account book, but Sang Xiaomei was not seeing him. She probably was boiling water and adding firewood in the kitchen.
When Huang Qin saw someone picking up the curtains and greeted her happily: "Call the guests, please sit down... Mr. Zuo? Is Mr. Zuo?"
Zuo Shaoyang was carrying a bright window on his back. Huang Qin looked at the light and was a little dazzled. She was not sure, but she just said in surprise.
"Sister-in-law Qin, it's me. I'm back from the capital. The business is good." Zuo Shaoyang said with a smile.
Huang Qin screamed, came over and grabbed Zuo Shaoyang's arm, as if he was afraid that he would run away if he turned around, and turned around and shouted at the kitchen, "Little sister, Mr. Zuo is back."
In the lobby, everyone was talking in a mess. When Huang Qin's throat was heard, everyone turned their heads and looked at it. Many people knew Zuo Shaoyang. Not only did they use very cheap medicine to treat strokes, but they cured many people's edema of vegetable solar dermatitis and edema. During the famine, the general was awarded the title of "Model of Supporting the Army". More importantly, during the famine period, the Zuo family endured hunger and squeezed out food from their teeth, and combined with traditional Chinese medicine that could satisfy their hunger to make Chinese medicine porridge, saving countless hungry people. Many of them here had received medicinal porridge from the Zuo family and received favors from others. So when Zuo Shaoyang came in, they all stood up and bowed and greeted: "Young Master Zuo is back."
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly bowed and returned the gift: "Hello everyone."
Those who have good things know the purpose of Zuo Shaoyang's visit to Beijing and said with a smile: "Young Master Zuo, how about going on a blind date in the capital? Has the bride been picked up?"
Zuo Shaoyang chuckled: "Not yet, we countrymen are not so easy to marry their daughter-in-law from the capital."
Someone else laughed and said, "If others don't succeed, you are a 'model of military support' enthronement by the general. The girls in the capital are not all princesses and princesses. Generally, the daughters of officials and families are not allowed to send them up."
Another smiled and said, "You are wrong. Even if the princess and princesses are still able to match it."
"That's that's..."
They were huddling and talking, but Zuo Shaoyang didn't say anything. His eyes had already fallen on the pretty little girl Sang standing at the kitchen door.
After a few months of sight, Sang became more and more beautiful. Three thousand black hairs were tied behind her head, tied with a snow-white silk silk, wearing a moon-white right-sided cross-neck short jacket, a moon-white pleated skirt, and a white linen belt tied around her waist, which made her waist tightly tied. In the smoky and slightly dim lobby, it was like a forsythia among the clouds on the cliff, and was graceful.
Originally, Sang Xiaomei wanted to wear mourning, but when she opened a business, she could not always wear mourning, so others would not come to the house. So after Sang's mother was buried, Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin both wore white dresses and tied a linen belt around her waist, so she was just pretending to be mourning.
"Little Sister" Zuo Shaoyang nodded to the greeting tea guest, while walking through the lobby and coming to Sang Xiaomei.
