After another ten days, Chu Ying was relieved to see that the business of the pharmacy was gradually getting on the right track.

But she also has troubles, because no one has really invited her because of dystocia.She is too young to be well-known, and every family in the city has her own familiar wife.More importantly, people in this era generally believe that women who are stable are considered lowly and classified as three aunts and six wives, and some people even think that their going in and out of the delivery room will bring blood and bad luck to outsiders.

Moreover, according to Fu Shan, the midwives at this time had their own unique skills, such as stepping on the stomach to give birth, cutting the umbilical cord with reed leaves, making the mother swallow her hair, pouring urine on the boy, and even chanting mantras. Those who are in harmony with water are full of surprises; it is difficult to be born as a human being, and it is even more difficult to be born as a woman.

While shedding tears of sympathy for the women of this era, Xiuying also hopes that she can really help more people in need.

But it was useless to worry, she could only wait.And during this period, she has more important things to do, that is to study, to keep learning.Follow Fu Shan to learn gynecological pulse diagnosis, various disease differentiation and analysis, memorize soup recipes, and follow Eucommia to learn the properties of medicinal materials, monarchs and ministers assist envoys, increase anti-fear, and at the same time, she corresponds one by one to all the gynecological diseases described in traditional Chinese medicine. It is not an exaggeration to say that progress has been rapid once it has been confirmed by each other.

With profound basic theoretical knowledge, she can draw inferences from one instance and conduct research with Fu Shan, and Fu Shan himself feels that he has benefited a lot.In addition, Yuan Xu is also a hardworking and self-disciplined person. The siblings often read three shifts under the same lamp, encouraging and promoting each other.

Even when she went out this time, she only put a few books on women's medical prescriptions in her luggage, all of which were written by Fu Shan, so that she could read them at any time on the road.She needs to keep learning and learning again.

As her body grows, she must begin to abide by the rules of this world, such as not being able to meet strangers casually, and wearing Mili when going out on the street. And to ride, and so on.

This time when she came to Beijing, the carriage Fu Shan prepared for her was not luxurious, but it was very comfortable and spacious inside, and she could even lie down and sleep for a while.Following the convoy of Zhongjinghou's family into Beijing, Liu Xianglian and Shi?, the son of the Shi family, rode side by side, and fell behind, whispering something.

"Who is sitting in the carriage at the back?" Shi? looked and looked, and asked Liu Xianglian curiously. He is a cousin of Shi Xiangyun's second uncle's family. Xianglian has always been friendly.

"It's Grandma Zhen's step-sister in Duke Ning's Mansion. This is the first time she has entered the capital." Liu Xianglian thought for a moment and decided to tell him Chu Ying's identity.They are also relatives of Jia's family, and they have a support along the way.

"Grandma Zhen? That's a decent person, but her mother's family is a bit shabby," said Shi?'s smile became frivolous. "The last time her stepmother brought her stepsister to visit, we have generally seen it. No Blame Rong, that aunt is really beautiful and attractive, why is there another one here?"

Liu Xianglian became a little unhappy when she heard this, "Her step-sister has two, and the inside of this car is small, and she is about the same age as your sister Xiangyun. Brother Rong, what's the matter? At least she yelled." Auntie, why are you so disrespectful and let others judge? Is he not afraid that Grandma Zhen will be unhappy?"

Shi? glanced at him, "Don't you know what kind of people Master Zhen and Brother Rong are in Dongfu? How can they be controlled by Grandma Zhen?" He leaned closer and whispered, "Such delicate two aunts Sister, they are still separated by several floors, and they have no reason to let go. According to me, if the younger ones don't go there as soon as possible, if they enter the gate of their East Mansion, it will be called innocent; even if our two families are relatives, I said the same thing, believe it or not."

Salivating and asking him again, "I heard that this little girl is Fu Dingchen's female disciple, so isn't that your junior sister? Since Fu Dingchen can accept her under the door, this girl must be smart. Let me ask you, is she more beautiful than her? How about my sister? How about calling her out to take a look?"

After all, the topic of men will eventually turn around women, Liu Xianglian glanced at him angrily, "Whether she is beautiful or not, it has nothing to do with you?"

Shi? was bored, so he could only sneer and say, "I'm just asking casually, what are you in a hurry for?"

Liu Xianglian felt faintly worried, and asked Shi Yu again after a while, "According to what you said, she doesn't have to go to Jia's mansion, it's actually a wolf's den; but since her mother has remarried, this relative is just a relative." It's settled, what can she do?"

Shi Yue clicked his tongue and looked Liu Xianglian up and down, "Are you worried? Is this the Leng Langjun I know?"

Liu Xianglian sneered, "I'm just speaking to be fair. People are usually golden, noble, and innocent girls, and they are not the secret door in Dongsanxiang. Why should they be judged? If your sister, you Willing? If you say yes, then let me ask you, is the sister you are seeing off beautiful? How is her figure? "

Shi Yue was taken aback by what he said, but after a while he had to say in embarrassment: "Okay, this is your junior sister, I remember it, and I won't dare to do it again in the future, is it okay?"

Now that he knew that this girl was the same age as Xiangyun and that she was Liu Xianglian's junior sister, Shi Mi didn't think much of it, the two talked for a while and then separated.Liu Xianglian then rode for a while and caught up with Chu Ying's carriage, "Mother He, are you still asleep? I have something important to tell you." Because of what happened that day, he still feels embarrassed to find Chu Ying When talking, I only asked Mrs. He along the way.

When he came up to talk to him before, Chu Ying deliberately ignored him, and only asked Mother He to say that she was sleeping, but in fact she had been reading.The carriage was swaying, and after a long time, she also felt dizzy, and was about to open the curtain to get some air, but when she heard Liu Xianglian talking, she hastily put down the curtain again.

Mother He laughed, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, you don't plan to pay attention to him all the way? I see that you are usually not very temperamental. Even if you have a few quarrels with your family, it will be fine for a while. This Second, why are you arguing?"

"Who is arguing with him? I can't even bother to talk to him!" Suying didn't have the nerve to tell the reason, so she fell asleep angrily and covered her head by the way.

"Oh girl, if you cover it like this in such a hot day, you won't be afraid of getting prickly heat! Didn't the girl hear that? He said there was something urgent!" Mother He persuaded patiently.She has always had a good impression of Liu Xianglian, so she is willing to speak for him.

"Then ask him, what's the matter with him?" Su Ying said and sat up, "Mom, grandma is right, we are not people who go the same way at all. As for me, I just want to do something down-to-earth. The family lived a peaceful and peaceful life; as for him, to put it nicely, he is called wandering around, and he is used to being free; to put it bluntly, he is called restless, not a man who can live a life! Don’t think about it in the future. They are trying to match us up!"

Mother He was amused by her and laughed, "The girl is young, don't you look at the young boy who is handsome and affectionate, and only wants to live a good life? This is also very rare, no wonder the old lady praised the girl for being sensible! But, this Shouldn’t all the men in the world achieve their careers by traveling abroad? I haven’t seen any man who can achieve great things while staying at home.”

When Xiuying thought about it, her tone was really old-fashioned, and she couldn't help laughing, "Mom, I'm just using an analogy; I'm not saying that men are not allowed to wander, but that requires him to pretend to be a family member in his heart, and be willing to come for his family." Fight hard, instead of blindly letting your own temper. For example, this person outside, he has never been used to being uninhibited, and he is willing to change for you for a while, how long can he keep it? To be honest, I also think He is good-looking, and he is not a bad person, but so what? I am not sure that he will never leave me for the rest of my life. Therefore, I don't need to put my reputation away and live with him Very close; this life is still long, I will wait, and I have to wait until the one I think is suitable; don't worry about me, okay?" For Mother He who grew up with her since she was a child, she is very close and caring. Trustworthy, so this can be regarded as a heartfelt statement.

Mother He hugged her emotionally, "Girl, I know you have been a sensible person since you were a child, but I never thought that you can see more clearly than my old lady. Then just wait, I will ask him to see what's wrong with him .”

The two were only talking inside, after all, they were still separated by the carriage, who would have thought that Liu Xianglian's swordsmanship and martial arts were all light and agile, and her keen eyes and ears were beyond compare. Since he wanted to, he listened to the conversation between the two of them. Be clear.

Liu Xianglian was stunned.

He really hadn't thought about what Su Ying said; family, responsibility, responsibility, protection, and never giving up for a lifetime, all these were very strange to him.Of course, he heard it too. Xuan Ying said that he was good-looking and not a bad person, that's all.She has even come to the conclusion that the two of them are not suitable.

Liu Xianglian began to feel a little disturbed; what should be done so that the two can get together?Nobody told him what to do, and he didn't know what to do.

He only knew that the most important thing now was Xiuying's reputation; the father and son in the Ningguo Mansion must be far away from them, and it would be better if they did not meet each other.

But it was obvious that Xiuying was their relative, so could they still avoid seeing each other?

There seemed to be no solution to this problem, but Liu Xianglian thought about it and finally came up with a good solution for him.

At night, the convoy stopped at Yongping, Cangzhou, which was only a day or two away from the capital.With the signboard of Zhongjinghou Mansion, it is a matter of course to live in an inn. Even Mother He and Chu Ying were allocated a small guest room.Just after nightfall, Xu Ying was still reading medical books seriously under the lamp, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, a young woman's voice, "Is Miss You San there? My girl, please come and talk."

Xuan Ying hurriedly asked Mama He to open the door, and saw a pretty maidservant of fourteen or fifteen years old standing at the door, "Miss You San, my eldest miss sees that it's still early in the night, so I would like to ask you to come and talk."

Xiuying recognized this as Shi Xiangyun's personal maid, Cuilu, but she didn't understand why this eldest lady of the Shi family ignored her all the way, and why she suddenly became interested in her when she arrived.But since he followed his convoy all the way, now that he sincerely invites him, there seems to be no reason not to go.In addition, she also wanted to see what this girl, one of the twelve beauties, looked like, so she happily went there.

Shi Xiangyun has a round face with bright facial features and a pair of dimples on the corners of her lips; although they are the same age, she is half a head shorter than Xiuying; seeing Xiuying coming, she hurried forward, "Morning I knew that there was a younger sister who was traveling with me, but I never said hello; I heard from my elder brother today that I realized that she is also a relative of my aunt's family, but this is a neglect." At the same time, Cui Ling brought tea, "I heard that you Is it the step-sister of sister-in-law Zhen of the Dongfu?" The look in her eyes was a bit intriguing.

As soon as Xiu Ying heard it, she knew that Miss Shi didn't take her seriously at all, otherwise she wouldn't have thought of seeing her at this time; as for the latter question, it was Chi Guoguo's contempt, which made her She seems to be a poor relative who went to fight the autumn wind.Although Shi Xiangyun has a straightforward personality, he is too straightforward to like.

"Back to Miss, that's right." Su Ying took the tea and said in a low voice, "Mother insists on remarrying. If we are too harsh as daughters, it would be unfilial; as for where she will marry again, that is not something we can decide and comment on. That’s right. Now I’m in the capital just to visit my mother; if she’s all right, I’m relieved and I’ll be back in a few days.”

"Oh?" Shi Xiangyun looked at her curiously, "So, don't you want to join Grandma Zhen? I heard that Grandma Zhen's father has been ill since returning to Beijing, and he seeks medical advice three times a day. It seems that it is not very good. Grandma Zhen is a kind person. She said that even if the stepmother and Mr. You are just a couple for a day, she will not ignore you. Don't worry, the Ningguo Mansion is so big that you still have to raise Are you sorry for the three of you, mother and daughter? What's the point if you go to join them?"

Xiuying put down the teacup in her hand and smiled slightly, "Ms. Smith, I think you have misunderstood. My mother married this Mr. You for less than a year. When she married, she still had two or three hundred thousand taels of silver Family property. There are not only my father's relics, but also my sister's dowry; of course, these are not many, but it is enough for the three of us, mother and daughter, to spend ten lifetimes. Besides, there is me in the family now. Now I run a crude medicine shop on the side of Bird Clothes Lane, and I am raising my grandmother, younger siblings, and if my mother and older sister are lost, I am not afraid to take them back, but I can’t say who I will go to.”

Shi Xiangyun began to be surprised, "You, you open a herbal medicine store by yourself? How can you open it? Let alone your young age, you are a girl's family after all. Is it appropriate to show your face like this?"

"I have a grandmother, younger brothers and sisters, my father died young, my mother remarried, and I have no elder brother to rely on; if I don't open a pharmacy, what will I do to maintain the livelihood of this big family? Smith, my neighbors , but I didn’t make irresponsible remarks. On the contrary, they all said that I was benevolent, filial, and sensible. It’s no wonder that the girl is precious, and she doesn’t know the sufferings of us ordinary people; it’s strange that I said it, but the girl didn’t take it seriously!”

"Ah, no, I never have such an idea!" Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said.After all, she has a bold personality. After knowing the cause and effect, she developed a heart of admiration for Xuanying, "Miss You San, I was the one who took the liberty just now; you see, we are the same age, and you are all thinking about it." There is a way to support the whole family, and I don’t want to mention what I do on weekdays!” While holding Chu Ying’s hand, “I’m really sorry just now, I neglected it, and I won’t dare to do it again in the future.”

Chu Ying just smiled, Shi Xiangyun seemed to think of something, and looked at Chu Ying again, "I'm going to live with my aunt in Rongguo Mansion. She is a very kind old man, she likes to be lively, and she likes children. , several of my cousins ​​are raised by her, and there is also a cousin who was born with jade, which is also very agreeable. She was raised by her old man herself. Sha Cabinet. If you go to Jia's mansion this time, come and look for me. I am the happiest when the sisters are stubborn together."

Chu Ying was a little surprised, "You are so old, and you still sleep in the green gauze cabinet with your cousin? This, isn't it good?"

Shi Xiangyun was startled, then lowered his head, "No, Miss Lin is here now, and she is sleeping instead. She is the granddaughter of the ancestor's direct relative, and she has already passed me. It is her who the ancestor loves the most now. !"
