Chapter 33: Marry her off
Old Xue's family.
In Mrs. Xue's gloomy gaze, Chen was dragged back to the room by Mrs. Xue, and there was a muffled snort from time to time.
Chen's eldest son, Xue Zhan, has always been dedicated to reading sage books, and his ears are not aware of what is happening outside the window, even if his mother is abused by his father, he is indifferent, just staying in his room and reading.
As for how much he read, only he knows.
The youngest son Xue Heng was a little worried about his mother, but he was coaxed away by Mrs. Xue.
Seeing this, Li Shi hurriedly pushed his son, "Go quickly, your grandmother is going to secretly open a small stove for Brother Heng again." ”
Xue Ben, who was originally playing by himself, immediately ran over.
After dinner, Mrs. Xue sat at the head of the hall and held a family meeting, attended by the couple, the eldest grandson Xue Zhan, and the three-room couple.
As for the two little grandsons, they were sent to sleep in the house by the adults, so that they would not learn what the adults said and spread it to the outside.
Mrs. Xue spoke: "Previously, Master Qian fell in love with the vixen of the Yang family, and everyone was going to get on the sedan chair, but the little cheap hoof she gave birth to came back, which ruined the affairs of Master Qian." This time, if she hadn't woken up halfway, Xin'er wouldn't have been taken away by Master Qian's people, and now she is missing again. ”
Li agreed: "Who said it wasn't, mother, it's all to blame for that cheap girl, who wasted our whole table of food!" ”
Because her emotions were too intense when she spoke, and the wound was involved, she couldn't help but hiss, and hated Xue Wu even more, "This cheap girl, her hands are strong, and my body is still green." ”
Xue Laosan was even more indignant: "You are all skin injuries, how can you be like me, she dares to use a knife against me, the third uncle!" Don't do it in my hands, or I'll kill her! ”
The main body of this family meeting is like the "Xue Wu Criticism Conference".
Boss Xue didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a trick to damage: "No matter how ruthless she is, she is a woman after all, and when she arrives at her husband's house, where can she still stand up?" I think we have to marry her off as soon as possible. This matter has to be handled by the mother. ”
Mrs. Xue snorted heavily: "I'm still worried about her marriage?" She's beautiful! She has made a fuss about the Chen family's marriage in the town, and now she is a little slut without a father, who wants her? ”
Or did Li understand the true meaning of Boss Xue's words, "Mother, ordinary good people naturally refuse to marry her, but what if they can't marry their daughter-in-law?" Xue Wu looks like a fox spirit girl with her, she is very attractive at a young age, and there are always people who are willing to spend money to marry her back, right? When she gets out, won't there be only the vixen and the two children left? When the time comes, how many orphans and widows will there be, and it's not that the mother can do whatever she wants? ”
The prospect described by the Li family really made Mrs. Xue itch, "That's right! Or do you figure it out! Then do it! Third child, Ming'er, you will go to the town, bring the lotus back for a meal, let her give her an idea, she has seen a lot of the world in the town, and she will definitely be able to find a good family for that little. ”
The last three words were said by her in a gloomy manner, and the face under the oil lamp was like an old witch.
Xue Laosan responded loudly: "Okay, I'll go to the town early tomorrow morning." ”
The policy of dealing with the second room was determined, and the people of the old Xue family swept away the previous haze, and everyone became jubilant, except for the Chen family, who had been keeping his head down.
*
Dr. Ho's house.
In a specially packed examination room.
He Shen was pricking Pei Lin with a needle, and Xue Wu was petting the cat on the side.
The cat is a white native cat raised by He Shen, who originally ignored Xue Wu, and jumped on the cabinet when she leaned over to rua it, but when a drop of spiritual spring appeared in Xue Shen's palm, the white cat immediately changed her attitude and took the initiative to come over and lick her palm.
After licking it, he jumped into her arms again, rubbing and rubbing, and his tail swept her face, meowing like a coquettish.
It's like saying, come a little more, Meow likes it very much.
Xue Wu took the opportunity to pet the cat, from the top of the head to the tip of the tail.
In her previous life, she also raised a cat, which was a silver gradient of Ying's short, and the cat technique can be said to be in place, if the white cat was attracted by her spiritual spring at the beginning, then after being stroked by her a few times, she was completely impressed by her superb technique, and there was a comfortable purr in her throat.
The sound was very pleasant to hear.
He Shen, who had finished pricking Pei Lone, withdrew his hand and looked at the white cat who was belly rolling on Xue Yan's lap and being cute and cute, which was quite strange.
He doesn't know much about the temperament of his own cat owner, and he usually looks cold to his master, but now he is so close to his sister-in-law.
Is his master too wasteful, or is the girl particularly fond of cats?
He Shen went to the basin to wash his hands, and told Xue Wu: "You look at it, don't let him move, call me in about two quarters of an hour, and I will pull out the needle for him." ”
Xue Wu responded, "Okay, you go and get busy, I'll take care of him." ”
Pei Lin sat cross-legged on the wide couch, his upper body clothes had faded, and his chest and back, arms and even his head were full of needles, which looked really a little oozing.
Xue Wu moved a stool and sat over and asked him, "Does it hurt?" ”
Pei Lian: "It doesn't hurt." ”
Actually, there was still some pain, but it didn't hurt much to him.
"It's boring to sit dry, I'll read to you, how about it?"
"Okay."
Xue asked He Shen if she could bring her a book to read, and He Shen pointed directly to the study, "Go in and find it yourself, and take whatever book you like." ”
When I went in, Xue Wu was shocked, and the wide and bright study was densely packed with books, extending from the ground to the position close to the roof, and it was estimated that a ladder would have to be built to get the books on it.
It's like a private library.
In this era, it seems that printing has been invented, the printing cost of books has been greatly reduced, books are not as expensive as the previous dynasty, coupled with the popularity of small talking books, the development of commerce, so that books are no longer the exclusive property of rich families, but into the homes of ordinary people.
But to collect such a large room of books, it is still not something that ordinary people can afford, nor can ordinary people do.
Xue Wu couldn't help but wonder, is Doctor He really just an ordinary doctor in the countryside?
Or is he the incognito boss in the novel?
Xue Wu couldn't help but laugh at her own brain supply, this is real life, not a novel, where did so many incognito bosses come from, and they happened to be met by her?
She stepped in and walked around the bookshelf, originally she thought that most of the books here were related to medical herbs, but no, the books on the shelves involved a lot of types, subsets of scriptures and histories, legendary books, travelogues, medical books, and even martial arts cheats!
She was dazzled by it.
There are very few entertainment activities in this ancient world, so it would be nice if I could come here often in the future to borrow books and read them back. The novel is her love.
Xue Wu didn't delay much, and left the study after choosing a copy of "Narrative Differences" at random.
