The shopkeeper Zheng Da came to the front and saw the guests, and then he remembered something important, turned his head and said to Zhou Man: "By the way, Doctor Zhou, I was just about to tell you, that kid Zheng Gu fell in love with a girl in Luozhou, After the new year, I will send someone to propose a marriage, what do you think about it?"
Man Bao was stunned, "What can I think?"
Then there was a "Yeah" and said: "Zheng Gu is going to marry a wife? Well, he is going to marry, and he has already reached the crown. If he doesn't marry again, it will be even more difficult to marry."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da nodded approvingly, but they, the children of the Xinglin family, always get married late, and there are many people who only get married in the twenty-four or five. Thinking about it this way, his son is not too late, just right.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da comforted himself in his heart.
Man Bao thought of Zheng Shao, "Zheng Shao is not young anymore, why is there no movement at all?"
Shopkeeper Zheng Da said: "His parents don't have much knowledge, so they didn't manage it for him."
Zheng Shao is honest and dull. At the beginning, the shopkeeper Zheng Da took a fancy to him and sent him to Zhou Man to be a drug boy. But his character is not very popular at home, and he has a clever and considerate younger brother. Woolen cloth.
Now his younger brother's children are almost ready to go to the street to drink, and he is not engaged yet.
After thinking about it, Man Bao became worried. Not only did she have to worry about the marriages of her nephews and nieces, but also the marriages of her apprentices. She was so busy.
But she was also busy in her heart, and after a while, she heard the commotion ahead, and immediately ran over to join in the commotion.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da shook his head.
Bai Shan and the others are playing throwing pots.
Zhou Zhoulang had put his hands together and leaned aside to watch, but when he saw that Bai Shan had been hit by eight arrows, everyone started clamoring, and couldn't help standing up and saying, "Let me try."
Bai Erlang gave him the arrows in his hand, Zhou Zhoulang took a look, threw out the first arrow, and it fell out, and the second arrow fell off the bottle, and everyone gave an unceremonious "huh", but Zhou Zhoulang squinted his eyes and threw the third arrow, and then each of the following arrows went in.
He threw down the ten arrows in Liu Huan's hand in one breath. Everyone was stunned and shouted, and gave him all the arrows in their hands, wanting to see how many he could throw.
Zhou Zhoulang threw arrows into the pot one by one, and sometimes he could still throw arrows in when the pot was almost full, and everyone was amazed.
Zhou Zhou Lang shook his head and said proudly, "It's much easier than hunting birds when we were young."
Friday Lang and Saturday Lang are also eager to try. They have been brought by Zhou Lang since they were young, and they are also very good at bird hunting.
Doctor Ding, who was watching the excitement, couldn't help but whispered to Doctor Tao, "Let's not talk about other things this week, the family must have been a bully in the village before."
Look what's going on here.
Doctor Tao laughed.
Man Bao squeezed up, and was also aroused to be competitive, and he also took the arrow and lined up to go.
Bai Shan stood beside her, and asked with a smile, "What business does Master Zheng want from you?"
"Chinese herbal medicines and talking about marriage to apprentices," Man Bao summed it up in one sentence, and then said sadly: "Zheng Gu's marriage has been settled, but Zheng Shao's has not. I find that my errands are getting worse and worse. too much."
Bai Shan smiled sullenly, "You asked for it yourself. Big brother and they didn't ask you to tell Lixue (three heads) about their marriage. You took it by yourself. But compared to Lixue and them, Zheng Shao's Marriage should be much simpler."
"Why?"
"Because he can already support his family," Bai Shan said, "he is now the head of the Xiangzhou local medical office. At least he is from the ninth grade, and he is receiving the imperial salary, which is small, but it is no problem to support his family. Being respected, it shouldn't be difficult to talk about marriage."
It was much easier than talking about marriage when he was a drug boy.
In contrast, it was difficult for Zhou Li to imitate the three of them.
He and Zhou Ligu (the fourth head) are still in school. If they can pass the Mingjing exam next year, it's okay. If they fail the exam, they may not be able to talk about a better marriage than Zhou Lizhong (the big head) and Zhou Liwei (the second head).
Not to mention Zhou Liru, she is not only a student, but also a young lady. According to Man Bao's plan, she will have to study in the Imperial Medical Office for another two years before she can become a teacher.
Thinking of this, Bai Shan couldn't help but glanced at Liu Huan who was laughing with Zhou Zhoulang and the others, turned his head and said to Man Bao, "Don't you think Liu Huan is very suitable?"
Man Bao turned his head to look, "Because he does what he wants?"
Bai Shan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "People who follow their heart don't have so many rules, but Liru suits people who don't have so many rules." It's like Man Bao.
If she meets someone who is particularly well-mannered and measures every word and deed, she will suffer to death.
Man Bao said: "Liu Huan can't represent the Liu family. Marriage is good for two surnames, it's not just that two people are suitable."
If the family behind them is not harmonious, they will spend a lot of energy in the family, which is not good for Liru.
And the Liu family's family status is too high.
Against their family, the Zhou family will lack confidence.
But Bai Shan smiled and said: "I saw Mrs. Liu Shangshu at my grandmother's place today. Coincidentally, Sanniang and Liru were also there, and people surnamed Liu gathered in one room."
There was a twinkle in his eyes, and he smiled like starlight: "Mrs. Liu Shangshu asked Sanniang when she would be promoted to the imperial physician, and Liru's studies. When I left, I heard Mrs. Liu Shangshu hated that iron could not be made into steel." Liu Huan, it is enough to say that Liu Huanruo has half the energy and diligence of the two of them."
Man Bao was stunned for a moment, then fell into thought.
Bai Shan looked at Man Bao with a smile, a little complacent, and as soon as he was complacent, he took all the arrows in her hand and stuffed them to Bai Erlang who was approaching Liu Huan, took her hand and whispered to the side.
Bai Erlang hugged the arrow in a daze, turned to look at them, but was pushed back by Yin Ju, "Don't look, the husband and wife are whispering."
Bai Erlang snorted softly and turned around, this time he didn't bother them.
Bai Shan took Man Bao's hand out of the tunnel, and walked directly from the tunnel to the back garden slowly. He smiled and said: "The more you borrow, the more important you are (big head) because you are married to Sanniang, and the male from the Zhou family is married in the capital." The foundation is set, Man Bao, have you ever thought that the Zhou family will also be a noble family or even an aristocratic family in the future?"
Man Bao said with a smile: "Master Wei is now the Prime Minister, but he still wants to call himself a poor family."
Bai Shan: "What about after three generations?"
He said: "Master Wei has three sons, one is married to Cui's wife, and the other is about to hire a princess. After three generations, who can say that Wei's family is poor?"
Man Bao was silent.
Bai Shandao: "Before you, the Zhou family was a commoner family, and after you, they were from a poor family. Now the students are studying like Li Xue. If they can become officials and make further progress in the officialdom, then they will be firmly established in the poor family, and they will be born." Without someone like Lord Wei, after the fifth or sixth generation, there is still a chance to join the noble family."
The aristocratic family is accumulated from generation to generation of gentry.
Man Bao turned to look at him, lowered his voice and asked, "Then have you imagined what will happen to the Bai family in the future?"
