Fang Shaohua felt a little embarrassed. He knew his sister was sensible, but he still felt that he should say something, just in case. After being stared at by Fang Xiaoxi for several times, he turned around and left with some concern.
Fang Xiaoxi smiled at Qian Jiujiu and said, "Mrs. Mu, I'm sorry to bother you. I just have a question that I want to ask you."
Everyone in the government office knew the news that Master Fang brought Fang Xiaoxi to see Qian Jiujiu. Beibei also knew about it and immediately brought Nannan over to eavesdrop.
Qian Jiujiu saw that Fang Xiaoxi was a little restrained, so he personally poured a cup of tea for Fang Xiaoxi and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a cannibal. Sit down, let's talk slowly, and have a cup of tea."
Fang Xiaoxi took the teacup somewhat flattered and looked at Qian Jiujiu. To be honest, if this Mrs. Mu really liked her as much as she appeared to like, then this mother-in-law would be easy to get along with.
Ah! What are you thinking about! Fang Xiaoxi immediately interrupted her delusions, and then she saw Qian Jiujiu looking at her all the time, her face flushed: "Well, I said, maybe I misunderstood, but I still want to ask clearly. When you said you were going to propose marriage that day, were you asking for me? Were you asking for my hand in marriage for your son, Nan Nan?"
Beibei, who was eavesdropping next door, blushed with anger and muttered in a low voice: "I said this little peasant girl is shameless. Such a good thing is wishful thinking!"
Nannan glanced at Beibei and didn't say anything, but she had a very strange feeling in her heart, like joy.
Qian Jiujiu looked at Fang Xiaoxi with a blushing face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she is really so cute: "You didn't misunderstand, I did say that I would go to propose to you. The betrothal gifts are on the way, don't worry, our family will not give less than what is due."
Emma, thinking that she is going to be a mother-in-law at such a young age. Qian Jiujiu really feels that she is old, but she is obviously only in her thirties.
Qian Jiujiu was still thinking, but Fang Xiaoxi suddenly said: "Mrs. Mu, you misunderstood. I am not here to ask for a betrothal gift. I don't want to marry Nan Nan. You know what my status is. I am just a peasant girl. I am not a good match."
Uh! Qian Jiujiu was a little depressed. He was right. She didn't fancy Nan Nan at all. She looked at Fang Xiaoxi and said, "Do you think there is something wrong with Nan Nan?"
Beibei next door was even more furious. Why? She was a country girl, but her brother didn't dislike her, okay? She actually didn't want to marry her brother. When she looked at her brother's expression, she realized that he was stupid.
Oh, my brother is stupid, how could he understand. In fact, Beibei didn't know that Nannan was almost mad at this moment. Fang Xiaoxi, you actually came to my house to reject me, it was outrageous.
Fang Xiaoxi quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, Master Mu is very good, it's me, I am of low status, I am not worthy of him."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Fang Xiaoxi. Although this girl said that she was of low status, her eyes revealed it clearly. She didn't show any inferiority complex at all. It seemed that she just didn't like him.
She smiled and said, "Are you sure you don't want to marry Nan Nan?"
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "I am very sure that I am really not worthy of Master Mu. Master Mu definitely deserves better."
Qian Jiujiu decided not to dwell on this issue any more: "Since you don't want to marry Nan Nan, I can't force you. But you did do Nan Nan a favor, so let me repay you. How about this, you take me as your master."
Fang Xiaoxi was confused. "Is this your way of repaying me by becoming your disciple?" Isn't this too weird? She didn't want to become your disciple.
But if I refuse again and again, will it anger the county magistrate's wife? He looked at Qian Jiujiu with some frustration: "Then I wonder what Madam Mu wants to teach me?"
Female virtues? Or the Three Obediences and Four Virtues? She doesn't need any of these. Fang Xiaoxi had a terrible headache, and the expressions on her face kept changing, which was very funny.
"My medical skills are pretty good, so I'll teach you. Remember, after you become my disciple, you must respect me, especially when it comes to medical skills. You can't make mistakes, understand?"
Study medicine? Why would she study medicine at her age? What on earth is this lady thinking? Also, I just asked what to teach, not that I have to become her disciple.
Qian Jiujiu had already placed the teapot in front of Fang Xiaoxi and kept staring at her: "Come, disciple, pour tea for your master and kowtow."
Fang Xiaoxi was speechless, looking at the teapot and teacup. In the end, she didn't know why, but she took it, poured tea for Qian Jiujiu, and handed it to Qian Jiujiu: "Master, please have some tea."
Qian Jiujiu was satisfied, and finally took her eyes off Fang Xiaoxi, took the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Then she put the teacup down and looked at Fang Xiaoxi.
"Then there is no need to rush about your marriage. Let's talk about it later. Since you have become my disciple, you must not lose face for your master. Wait here for a moment."
After saying that, Qian Jiujiu stood up and walked towards his room. Fang Xiaoxi was stunned. So what happened just now? Why did he become a disciple for no apparent reason
Beibei in the side hall was also stunned, and suddenly realized that her mother liked Fang Xiaoxi not because Fang Xiaoxi saved Nannan. There must be something she didn't know. Did she underestimate Fang Xiaoxi
Nan Nan was unhappy. He lost his wife, but got a junior sister in return. What should he say? Actually, this seemed to be good. Since she was his junior sister, it was only a matter of time before she became a family member. Thinking of this, Nan Nan became happy again.
After Qian Jiujiu returned to the room, he entered the space and found three medical books. These are the most basic content that medical students need to know. After getting the books, he left the space and came to the hall.
"Here, take it. This is the basics of medical skills. I'll give you a month. After a month, I'll test you on these topics. Don't be lazy. I'll punish lazy people, and the consequences will be severe."
Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Yes, I understand."
For someone who would even make his own son stupid in a fit of rage, it would be easy for him to punish an apprentice. Don't make yourself stupid too. I wonder if Nan Nan was found out when he pretended to be stupid
"Then Master, I will go back first."
Qian Jiujiu hummed: "Okay, walk slowly."
Ziyuan, who was beside her, sent the person out and did not forget to remind her: "Miss Fang, remember, my wife always keeps her word, so you must not be lazy. That's all I have to say."
This sentence ended there, making Fang Xiaoxi feel threatened. She had to force a smile and looked at Ziyuan: "Thank you."
When she came out with the medical skills, she saw her eldest brother waiting by the side, looking at Fang Xiaoxi: "You can tell me now, what do you want to see Madam about? What is this? Did Madam give it to you?"
Fang Xiaoxi smiled a smile that was uglier than crying: "Brother, I seem to have done something I shouldn't have done..."
Depressed, Fang Shaohua recounted what had just happened. He broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Fang Xiaoxi: "What should I say to you? You actually came here alone to propose marriage. It's a good thing that the lady really likes you."
"That's why I didn't blame you and even accepted you as my apprentice. It's your good luck. Next time something big happens, you must tell big brother, okay? These are the words in the medical book, go back and read them carefully and remember them well."
What else can I do? Things have come to this point, I can only wait and see. After Fang Shaohua sent Fang Xiaoxi back, he returned to the government office again.
After Fang Xiaoxi left, Qian Jiujiu immediately summoned a secret guard and said, "Zixiang, go and protect Fang Xiaoxi in secret. She received the land through deception and threats, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
Zixiang was one of the people who had been secretly protecting Qian Jiujiu. When she heard Qian Jiujiu's instructions, she knew that Qian Jiujiu was very fond of Fang Xiaoxi: "I know."
Seeing Zixiang leave, Qian Jiujiu was finally satisfied. He shouted towards the side hall, "Why don't you two come out? Why don't you come out openly instead of eavesdropping in here?"
Beibei brought Nannan out and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Mother, you knew we were in there a long time ago. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just thought that Fang Xiaoxi was sticking to my brother, so..."
Before he finished speaking, Qian Jiujiu snorted coldly: "I'm not clinging to your brother. On the contrary, I don't like him. Nan Nan, what's the use of you? You can't even trick a little girl like that."
When Nan Nan heard this, he was furious: "Mom, what are you talking about? Am I a liar? Besides, even if I want my wife, I will pursue her openly."
Nan Nan was already very angry about being rejected, and her mother even mocked her. Bei Bei was stunned for a moment, thinking that her brother could actually talk to her mother so fluently, so she must have lied to her about her brother being stupid or something.
"Mu Qiancheng, you lied to me, are you not stupid?"
Nan Nan was also stunned for a moment. Oops, I forgot! He coughed twice and said, "Well, listen to my explanation. There is a reason why I played dumb."
Beibei felt so wronged. These days, seeing his brother become stupid because of him, guilt filled his heart all the time. But in the end, it turned out to be a scam.
"Yes, there is a reason. You just want to see me feel guilty and teach me a lesson. I understand that I did something wrong. I don't blame you."
After saying that, Beibei turned and ran away. Nannan's eyes widened: "It's fake, why would she run away if she didn't blame her? Mom, I'll go chase Beibei first."
Nannan chased after Beibei, Qian Jiujiu rubbed his forehead with his hand: "What's going on?"
Zi Tong looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Madam, do you have a headache? Do you want to take a rest? I will take you back to your room."
Qian Jiujiu nodded, thinking that Nan Nan would take care of Bei Bei, so he nodded: "Okay."
