Quickly wear a life of peace
Chapter 21 Ancient Female Doctor 5
In this life, I am only ten years old and have plenty of time to study. My mother is afraid that I will have contact with men outside, so if I learn from Zhuang Rui at home, no one else will know. At worst, I can just stay at home and treat patients. Besides, with Zhuang Rui, a medical genius, around, I will have no chance to show off.
I don't have any big ambitions, I just want to make my life more secure. I will keep traveling through time. Others may spend a lifetime learning, but I can keep learning. Even if I don't have talent, I can always become a miracle doctor.
The most important thing is, if there is a need for house fighting and palace fighting in some life, you can prevent yourself from being harmed by not harming others!
The group arrived at Haiqu City safely along the way. After parting with the escort agency, the head of the agency was very reluctant to let go. He kept praising Zhuang Rui for his great skills and bright future. His sticky eyes gave Zheng Yunshu goose bumps.
Zhuang Rui quickly and modestly stated that he just learned it by chance from the doctor who came to Zhuangzi to treat patients, and that he was able to cure people just by luck. He really never forgot to publicize his new identity and background!
Grandfather Zheng Xingrong was very satisfied. When the escort leader advised him to train Zhuang Rui well and not bury his talent, he agreed and promised.
After arriving in Haiqu City, Zheng Xingrong did not stay in the provincial capital. After resting for a night, he led his family to Fushan County.
Zheng Changqing and Zhou also discussed their future arrangements. “Although the city is nice, if we settle down here, we will probably only be able to buy a house in the south of the city, and it will be difficult to make a living in the future.
The east is rich and the west is noble, the south is poor and the north is lowly. We can't enter the good places, and we are afraid that the bad places are too chaotic and unsafe.
Besides, there are many nobles in this capital city, and the interests are already divided. It is not only difficult to get involved, but it is also easy to be targeted.
Dad meant to go to the county town below where it's cheaper, buy a house to live in, and still have some money left to buy some land. That way, if the land produces something, we won't starve.
When the time comes, we will rent out the land and live in the county town. We will send Peng to school first. It would be great if he can make a name for himself. If not, it will be easier for him to find a job to make a living in the future.
It will be convenient for Shu Jie to take on embroidery work, and it will be easy to find a future husband."
Zhou also agreed, "We'll just listen to Dad. He's well-informed and more thoughtful than us."
Zheng Changqing nodded with satisfaction. What satisfied him most was this point about Zhou, that she listened to his advice and would never have relied on the mistress's power to compete with him.
Unlike the wife of Manager Wu, who relied on being the mistress's companion and acted bossy all day long, Manager Wu dared to be angry but not to say anything. He smiled to the guests outside every day and to his wife at home. Even his mother had to tolerate everything and suffered a lot of humiliation.
Now that the Zheng family has fallen, Shopkeeper Wu has become very nervous. Not only has he kicked his wife out of the house, but he has also immediately welcomed a new bride in. Others may not know, but he does not know that Shopkeeper Wu has been keeping the bride outside.
Zheng Changqing also told Zhou about the place where they would settle down: "Fushan County is not far from the city, and it is close to the sea. There are also mountains and forests nearby. There is no shortage of meat and seafood.
It is convenient to buy firewood, and Rui Ge'er can also go to collect herbs by himself, but it is a place that the nobles look down upon.
There are no big forces in the county town, and most of them are rich families, which is just right for us. In the future, my father and I will do some small business to make a living, but we are not considered merchants, and it will not affect Peng Ge'er's studies."
Zhou was even more satisfied now. "Our brother Peng used to go to the academy with the young master in the capital. He has a good foundation and can't be worse than the students here. Now that he is here, we don't ask him to become an official, but if he passes the imperial examination, our family will rise."
When Zheng Xingrong arrived in Fushan County, he quickly bought a house with three courtyards and settled down there. Fortunately, he also bought a farm of several dozen acres in the suburbs.
Zheng Yunshu sighed that her grandfather was really rich, but he kept it a secret. She thought the family had no money and was planning to contribute all her private savings, but it turned out that his family had no use for it at all.
After coming to Fushan County, everyone else was like a duck in water and was doing well, but Zheng Yunshu was the only one who felt depressed.
In the past, he had stayed in the Shangshu Mansion for ten years and had endured it all (even if he hadn't), but now that he has been away for more than a month, Zheng Yunshu's heart has become wild. He no longer wants to stay cooped up at home and always wants to go out.
She wants to go shopping, go on a spring outing, go hiking, and go fishing.
But how could Zhou agree? "You should stay at home and practice embroidery. You haven't done it for more than a month, so you must be rusty. Besides, what girl can go out all day? Don't you want fame? Just concentrate on your work!"
Zheng Yunshu felt that the ancient times were really bad. There was no human rights at all. Women would suffer from reputation damage when they went out and would be pointed at by others. Their families would also be affected and gossiped about. It was really too difficult.
Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear to see her daughter looking so aggrieved, so she had to coax her, "You can do some embroidery at home first to save some money. Your face has been tanned from all the traveling, so you should cover it up. Your father said that he will take us out to play when he has time."
Zheng Yunshu knew that there was no hope for her to go out, so she could only stay at home, embroider, read books, and make medicinal food for her family to nourish their bodies.
She no longer had to do housework as she had to embroider and take good care of her hands. She couldn't bear to see her mother working so hard, so she took the initiative to use her private savings to buy a few servants for the family.
They were a family of three. According to the human trafficker, they had spent all their savings on their eldest son's medical treatment. In the end, all the money was gone, and they couldn't keep the son. They also owed a lot of debts. They had no choice but to sell themselves with their wife and daughter.
Zheng Yunshu felt that the three men were quite honest and were not locals, so they were not afraid of trouble and could stay. However, he still had to let his shrewd grandfather open his eyes before buying them.
The man Lin Dashan helps his grandfather and his wife by running errands, the woman Jiang Cuicui does housework at home, and the girl Lin Fang is six years old and can do some light work.
The cooking was just not to the family's taste. After Zhou had trained her for a while, the cooking was still barely adequate. So she had to take charge of the cooking herself. She planned to train Lin Fang and let her do the cooking when she was older.
His elder brother Zheng Yunpeng originally wanted to find him a servant, but his grandfather stopped him. "Our family is not rich. These three are all useful. Just buy them. Your brother just goes to the academy to study every day. He doesn't need to do anything. There is no need to find someone to serve him.
"Let's wait until he passes the imperial examination and becomes a scholar. By then, his wife will take care of things for him. He is a man and he has to start his own household. How can he let you, his sister, spend money on him?"
Zheng Yunshu felt that her brother's independent ability should be trained and not be wasted, so she gave up.
Zhuang Rui became a traveling doctor, traveling around the villages every day.
He was young and no one believed him at first. As the saying goes, a man without a beard cannot do anything reliable!
He was not in a hurry. Every day he carried two baskets of needles and thread and strolled around several villages.
