The banquet in Mu's house is not luxurious, but it can be said to be exquisite.

"Come on, the old man will first toast a cup here."

Mu Zhu first raised his glass and faced the people present.

"Don't dare, I wish the second elder, a happy New Year, and an auspicious start to the year!"

"Good!"

Drink it. Each of them put down their glasses and when they are ready. The banquet officially began, and there were not too many rules, as long as it was not a big dishonor, it would not be blamed at this time.

"Come, girl. Have a drink with the old man, you're younger, feel free! ”

Although Mu Zhu doesn't talk much on weekdays, he first found Xi Ningyu at this time, which shows that he still loves and values Xi Ningyu very much.

"I said, girl. After seeing the New Year, you will be fourteen years old, have you ever thought about what to do in the future? ”

Since Xi Ningyu and Jiang Huan got married, the two elders of the Mu family have not thought much about Xi Ningyu.

Especially how to go in the future of this child. The Xi family saw that they didn't care if the girl was dead or alive, and looked at Xi Ningyu, a poor child. The old couple has discussed with Mu Hui and his wife on weekdays.

They all worried about Xi Ningyu, so Mu Zhu started a start, and everyone stopped in unison and looked at Xi Ningyu.

When Xi Ningyu saw this meeting, she knew that she was worried about her future. Therefore, I don't plan to talk with a playful mentality anymore.

"I thought about it, healing the sick and saving people. Although I am not a famous doctor, I am not a master of Xinglin.

But I don't want to waste what I've learned just because I'm a woman. ”

After Xi Ningyu finished speaking, the people at the banquet all looked at each other, but none of them agreed.

Or Mu Zhu said: "This plan, if it is a man, it is not bad." But girl, you're a woman, and this—it's not good for you in the future! ”

Old Man Mu Zhu's words are very vague, and some words are understood in his heart, but he can't say them in front of people. Especially when it comes to women, it's a sin to say it badly.

Although Mu Zhu and the others are dedicated to Xi Ningyu's good. But don't talk too much, otherwise it will be bad.

"Our Yu'er is different, but women should still focus on Zhenshu, shouldn't Yu'er think of another way out?"

Ahn also opened his mouth to hint.

As soon as An said this, Wan Niang and Yun Niang present all nodded. looked at Xi Ningyu, all with a sense of persuasion.

Xi Ningyu was very moved to see that everyone was bothering about herself so much. However, he can't agree with the saying that women must be in deep boudoir and not show their heads.

"Uncle and aunt, Ning Yu knows that everyone is thinking about me.

But Yu'er doesn't think that a woman must only be married in the deep boudoir, and she can only marry a wife after the marriage, counting on her husband to support her. ”

Xi Ningyu put down the chopsticks in his hand and glanced at the people present.

Seeing that just what he said just now, it had already made Mu Zhu and several other men change their faces, and even the two sisters-in-law were worried.

"If after getting married, the husband doesn't love it, and the in-laws don't hurt it, how can a woman live? Is it possible to sit and wait for death, or endure humiliation and steal life?

Isn't that ridiculous, as a human being, regardless of gender, just this life. If I can't live freely and happily, but I have to watch other people's faces live, then it is better to die. ”

Xi Ningyu continued: "I have my own way of survival, and I also have my own ability to survive, so why should I rely on others to see people's faces?" As long as I don't do things that are bad for women, what do I have to face the world! ”

Wan Niang heard this and thought about it.

"Sister, but since ancient times. We women are like this, as the so-called women are not talented is virtue, after marrying a wife, they should keep their duties. My sister is still young, so she doesn't need to worry too much about these worldly rituals.

But if you wait for another two years, my sister will have to see each other's relatives, and if someone makes irresponsible comments, won't it be delayed for a lifetime! ”

After all, as a woman who has been influenced by ancient thoughts, she can't understand Xi Ningyu's words at all. Wan Niang still tried her best to persuade Xi Ningyu.

"Sister-in-law, can you say that you don't know some poetry, writing, and ink? Before the two sisters-in-law got married, could it be that they really didn't learn some poetry and book collections at home?

Has it been absolute since ancient times? Since ancient times, is the royal family of the world the present? Why is the surname of Xiqin Ling today? ”

Xi Ningyu's question suddenly frightened everyone present.

How dare you say such a rebellious remark so easily. Fortunately, today they are all from their own family, so they are changed elsewhere. Isn't it going to cause great trouble!

Mu Zhu hurriedly raised his hand to stop Xi Ningyu from speaking again.

"Alas~~ girl, I can't say anything about this today."

Mu Hui and Jiang Huan were also scared into a cold sweat.

"Got it, then I'll put it another way, it's not absolute since ancient times. First there is the first week, and then there is the Jin. Divide into two Han and go to the front of the beam. Since ancient times, it is an example of renewing the old and keeping pace with the times.

Therefore, why can't women have their own lives, have their own choices, and have to rely on men? Besides, what I said is not that I will not be married, but I just hope that my husband will respect me in the future. ”

Xi Ningyu's words sounded very ridiculous at first glance. But none of the people here are ordinary people in the market, and their knowledge is shallow.

Carefully taste what Xi Ning Yu said in his words, and unnaturally feel that there is a bit of truth in it.

For a moment, everyone was caught up in their own thoughts.

"However, although we know Yu'er's character. But I can't bear to be told by others, this. How can I find a good wife for you in the future! ”

An didn't really care what Xi Ningyu thought, the only thing she was worried about was that it would be difficult to find a good family for Xi Ningyu in the future, so that she could marry and enjoy happiness.

If Xi Ningyu is still like this now, showing up to see others, there will definitely be gossip in the future, and it will not be conducive to Xi Ningyu looking at others at that time.

An's cherished Xi Ningyu from the bottom of his heart, so he was very worried about this!

"I heal to save people. What is done is good, and what is accumulated is virtue. If even these are incompatible, how can they be with me for the rest of their lives. Such a husband should not marry!

Besides, didn't my aunt say that she raised me as an old girl? I'll be with you then! ”

After Xi Ningyu finished speaking, he laughed.

This smile also made several gentlemen and two sisters-in-law present temporarily put aside their worries.

Let's eat this banquet happily first, and then talk about the rest, with them as the backing, I am afraid that who will dare to bully Xi Ningyu in the future.

A meal was eaten happily and parted.

Jiang Huan's family invited Xi Ning Yu to go to Huaizhou County to play for a few days, stayed in the Lantern Festival in the county town, saw the lights, and sent Xi Ning Yu back.

Xi Ningyu is also happy to go, anyway, he has never seen the lantern festival in this world, and there are any novel lanterns.

So he agreed to go back to the county one day later.

Jiang Huan and his wife repeatedly told him several times, be careful on the road, and then turn back to the county seat.

After that, Xi Ningyu did not stay in Mu Mansion for long. said goodbye to the two old men, and said goodbye to Mu Hui and his wife, before taking the car back to Xifu!

Following.

Early in the morning, Xi Ningyu freshened up and stopped.

Sitting in the side hall, waiting for Uncle Wen to come and explain something. I was ready to go to Huaizhou County.

After a while, Uncle Wen took his son Wen Ping'an and entered the side hall.

"Miss."

The father and son of the Wen family who came in, the county saluted Xi Ningyu. Then he stood aside and waited for Xi Ning Yu to speak.

"Uncle Wen, this time I went to the county town to enjoy the lanterns, and I didn't turn back until after the Lantern Festival. Don't forget what I asked you to do before.

Also, we all have plenty of money in our hands this New Year's Festival, and there are no varieties of mountain medicinal materials for us to pick, so we all rest. Wait until I get back, don't rush to make a living. ”

Xi Ningyu said, and Uncle Wen responded.

I just finished explaining what Uncle Wen needs here.

Lian Zeqian came in with some things.

"Miss, these are local specialties. It's good that you take it to the county town as a gift.

Also, I went to Renxintang early in the morning, and the arrangement there was that after the ninth day of the first month, I started to make medicine. Do you think there's anything else to discuss? ”

After Xi Ningyu listened. After pondering for a while, he said: "Mr. Lian, I bother you to tell Uncle Shi that in terms of the share of the medicine, we are giving up 20% every month."

Specially used for the monthly free clinic fee, please ask Uncle Shi to pick out one day a month for the old county, and the surrounding poor families, especially the lonely and elderly people in the family, for free consultation and free medicine. ”

Lian Zeqian heard this and looked at Xi Ningyu. Then he looked at Uncle Wen on the side, thinking that this would be inappropriate.

And Uncle Wen also thinks that it is good to do good deeds. But one person wants to bear so much, I'm afraid that it won't last long, and I will complain.

"Miss, this is good, but it goes on for a long time. I'm afraid it's ......."

Uncle Wen thought about it and made eye contact with Lian Zeqian again. Still felt that it was inappropriate, so he stood up and said.

Xi Ningyu knew what the two of them were worried about. But I also have an account in my heart, so how can I rashly explain it like this.

"I know, it's been a long time. If it is interrupted halfway, it will fall into the mouth, so this matter will be handled by Uncle Shi, as for the money.

You can rest assured that the sales profit of our over-the-counter medicine will be even more impressive this year. There will be no shortage of money, and I am confident of that. It's just that we must explain to Uncle Shi, and don't let people know that this matter has something to do with us. At least not yet! ”

Lian Zeqian saw that Xi Ningyu had made up his mind, and he didn't say anything more. After watching it for so long, I already knew that the little woman in front of me was very human.

Therefore, any attention should be pondered. Lian Ze Qianben is also a good person, so he answered the call and went down to find Shi Hanxue to deal with it.

Xi Ningyu saw that the matter was almost arranged, so she said hello to Uncle Wen and told Mother Xue and the others to pay attention to their bodies. So he took the four maidservants, went out and got into the carriage and went to the county town!

The carriage drove out of the city, and the carriage turned into the official road.

"Miss, this time we went to the county town, and we won't come back until after the Lantern Festival. Can you bring more yellow crispy cakes, that one is delicious. ”

As soon as he left the city, the fish came back with a message about what to bring.

Toad frowned when he heard this, and said in his heart that there is not enough time for this foodie, what's the matter, when, all he thinks of is to eat first!

"Well, bring it back if you want to eat it. Toad, Qingying, Qingqiong, what kind of food do you two like to eat, and buy more when the time comes. ”

"Miss, we don't ......"

This time, it was Qingqiong who answered first, but she didn't finish her words. I just felt that the body shook, and the people in the car crashed into the car.

"Tom—"

"Tom-tom!"
