When Bai Shan and Man Bao went to Yue's house, of course they took Yaotong Xiaoshao with them. The reason why they took him with them was to ask for money from Yue's family.
Xiao Shao said: "Yesterday, the pharmacy sent the bill to Yue's family, but Yue's family didn't pay the bill at that time, and Mrs. Yue didn't see the guy we sent to pay the bill."
Man Bao said: "It's okay, just wait for a while, when I see the patient, I can prescribe better medicine for her."
Xiao Shao nodded happily.
Hearing that Man Bao came to the door, Mammy Fu took Chuncao to greet her in person, ignoring the eyes of the servants all the way back to the Second Courtyard, and sent her directly to Fu Wenyun's room.
Naturally, Bai Shan and Xiao Shao couldn't go in, so they stood in the yard with their hands behind their backs and looked up at the sky.
Chuncao was about to invite them to rest in the hall and serve them tea when the door of the study opened and Yue Dalang came out.
He stared blankly at Bai Shan, seeing that he had a good demeanor, he asked Chi Chi, "Are there any guests at home?"
Chuncao bowed and said, "Uncle Hui, this is Mr. Bai, and he came with Miss Man."
Afraid of Yue Dalang's neglect, she said: "The Bai family is a noble family in Luojiang County. My wife had contacts with the Bai family when I was in Luojiang County with the master. Today I accompanied Miss Man to visit my wife."
Hearing that he was from a noble family, Yue Dalang's expression softened slightly, he bowed his hands to Bai Shan and said after a salute, "So it's my younger brother, please sit down in the lobby."
Bai Shan saluted back, and with a slight smile, he called Fu's second brother-in-law, obviously following Fu Wenyun's name.
Chuncao breathed a sigh of relief, and served the two of them to the hall for tea.
Yue Dalang walked all the way and asked, "Why did Brother Bai come to the capital?"
Bai Shan said indifferently: "Come to the capital to study."
"Oh? I don't know which academy you study in?"
"Guozixue."
Yue Dalang: ...
He stopped in shock, his chest throbbed violently for a moment, and his throat felt a little dry, "The head of the Imperial Academy learns Guozixue?"
Bai Shan tilted his head in doubt, "Why, are there other Guozi schools in the capital?"
Yue Dalang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "No, no, I'm just a little surprised. Brother Bai is so young, I didn't expect to do such a thing. Please take a seat, Chuncao, go to the study to get some tea..."
Bai Shan groaned slightly, but the second Miss Fu he saw at the side door of the county government office when he followed Man Bao and the others to sell sugar flashed through his mind.
At that time, Ms. Fu Er was the same age as Man Bao now. She and Man Bao sat on a rock under a tree. They ate two candies, shaking their legs and talking about the book they had read recently...
Bai Shan raised his eyes to look at Yue Dalang again, and felt that magistrate Fu's vision was really bad.
Man Bao is also talking about this with Fu Wenyun.
There was no way, she asked Yue Dalang curiously when getting the needle, and Qiuyue beside him said everything like beans in a bamboo tube.
Anyway, there are only three of them in this room now. Qiuyue knows that Man Bao and Miss have a good relationship. After so many years, there are only one or two friends that Miss can talk to. Man Bao is definitely at the top.
So seeing that Fu Wenyun was lying on the pillow and didn't object, Qiuyue had no scruples.
"...Miss didn't like him very much when talking about marriage, but the few families who came to ask for marriage were not very good. All in all, Yue's family is considered to have a good family background. Both the master and wife are satisfied. Miss is not happy and can't be the master. That's how I got married."
Qiuyue lowered her voice and said: "I didn't expect to find out after I got married. Their family is just good-looking, and the inside is not as good as ours. My wife can't run a business. The background of Yue's family is a little stronger than our Fu's family, but the assets are not. How about, relying on the little salary of the master for many years, and receiving some small filial piety that cannot be rejected, life is very tight... "
"Miss wants to take care of Zhongfu when she gets married. My wife is as happy as killing her. If you don't like it, you don't like it. Miss doesn't want to care about it. She is quite comfortable reading and writing every day, but she I dislike the many servants brought by the miss, and the cost is high, and I find excuses to deduct money every month, trying every means to get money from the miss."
Man Bao was speechless for a while, and couldn't help looking down at Fu Wenyun who was enjoying her acupuncture with her eyes closed, and asked, "Second Sister Fu, can you bear it?"
Fu Wenyun closed her eyes and smiled softly: "Fool, don't listen to her, the people I brought should be taken care of by me, and all the money I gave went back to my people in the end, no loss."
Qiuyue: "Why is it not a loss? They still use our people to use your work for nothing. Isn't that a loss?"
Fu Wenyun opened her eyes to look at Man Bao, and asked with a smile, "Do you think I'm at a loss?"
Man Bao thought for a while and shook his head, "If it's a business, it's not a loss, but Second Sister Fu, you are married, you are a family, and if you count these things, isn't it a loss? My mother won't talk to my father. After all, the family business my father earned is in the hands of my mother, and there has never been such a conspiracy."
"So a common people's family also has the benefits of a common people's family," Fu Wenyun said with emotion: "I used to look at you and thought that it would be fine to marry a common people, as long as he can read and write, I can tell you Just talk."
"But I'm in Taining. I've seen officials' families like the Yue's family. I've seen them as well, and even the children of the country gentry who only have a one-hundred-acre manor." Fu Wenyun felt a little regretful, "But Jianzhou The customs in Taizhou and Mianzhou are not as good as those in Mianzhou and Yizhou, where women have to wear a hat when they go out, knowing that my brother and I can read and write together, there are a lot of criticisms, even my mother tried her best to oppose it."
She sighed: "And I have to marry someone, so after weighing it, Yue Dalang is a good choice."
Fu Wenyun made no secret of the reason why she chose Yue's family, she whispered: "At that time, it was rumored that my father-in-law would probably be promoted, if he didn't go to Beijing, he would be transferred to the Central Plains area. The atmosphere here is better than that in Jianzhou area. Prescribe a lot."
"Besides, Yue Dalang's knowledge is considered superior among several people. I don't like Jianzhou and Taizhou, and my father also needs the support of the Yue family, so I chose his family." Fu Wenyun said with a wry smile: "It's just that there was no Why do you pay attention to my mother-in-law, she has always been kind outside, I don't know people well, and I don't blame my father."
She knew that Man Bao didn't like her father since she was a child, and she whispered bad things about her father when she entered the door just now, so Fu Wenyun explained so much.
Man Bao asked, "Then what's the plan for Second Sister Fu?"
Fu Wenyun said softly: "There is no rush for this kind of thing. The most important thing for me now is to take good care of my body. This depends on you. Other things will last forever."
Man Bao nodded, "Yes, the future will be long."
Qiuyue was still a little unwilling, feeling that the young lady had been wronged too much.
Man Bao finished giving Fu Wenyun the needle, took a look outside, and asked, "What about Yue Dalang, won't he come to see Fu Second Sister?"
Fu Wenyun leaned on the pillow, because of the needles, she felt a little sleepy at this moment, so she said without thinking, "I came here yesterday evening, but I was too lazy to deal with him, so I sent him away."
