Except for Liang Xi, Zhongyong Bo's six sons are all married. Just like the wealthy children of Youjue family, most of them don't want to study or practice martial arts.
Apart from that, there is nothing else. The only thing that is criticized is that Mrs. Duan, the wife of Uncle Zhongyong, is a powerful person. Uncle Zhongyong is a bit henpecked, and Mrs. Duan has the final say inside and outside.
Liang Xi is the fifth son who is related to Qingzhi. His biological mother passed away early and he is not loved by Uncle Zhongyong and his wife. He seems to be transparent in the house, and his life is miserable.
However, this child was very well-read, calm and knowledgeable about etiquette, and at the age of only sixteen, he was already a famous official. However, when he was in the spring of that year, he continued to have diarrhea for some reason and was carried out of the examination room. He missed out on his fame.
Because his father was unloved, his mother was unloving, and he was born as a concubine, daughters from good official families looked down upon him, and even worse, he himself looked down upon him.
In addition, he was holding his breath and insisted on getting a meritorious degree. He just immersed himself in studying and ignored the common affairs of the world. He was a good young man, and he was nineteen years old, but he didn't get married.
Qingguan frowned slightly after listening to Yueniang's words.
It stands to reason that this marriage is not a good match. Although the second sister was born as a concubine, she was raised by the wife's side since she was a child. Her biological father didn't do well in life, so he was still a third-grade servant.
Although the Gu family is not as big as before, when the young lady in the family gets married, the father-in-law will not be short of a tael of money. No matter how you look at it, the second sister is marrying low.
Yueniang knew the suspicion in the young lady's heart and said hurriedly: "Some people say that based on this son's knowledge, if nothing happens, he will definitely be among the top fifty in the second class."
Qingwan understood instantly.
When a woman marries a woman in this world, she has two goals: one is family background, and the other is character. Madam didn't care about Zhongyong Bofu's family background, but she was interested in Liang Xi.
It is inevitable that the top 50 people in the second class will enter the Imperial Academy. In this way, Liang Xi will be able to make it in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion.
Coupled with the fact that he is very ambitious at a young age and has the energy to refuse to admit defeat, if nothing unexpected happens in the future, he will be a third- and fourth-rank imperial official, and he will definitely be able to make his wife a shadow and shine on his family.
When the second sister married, she suffered some losses in the eyes, but in the long run, she took advantage.
Qingguan figured this out and sighed: "Madam, she has a clear view, but these are all from the outside. I don't know if Liang Xi himself can care for others and be responsible."
Yueniang said with a smile: "Chen Ping said that there was only one maidservant in his room. He refused all the ones given to him by the Duan family. He has never set foot in the romantic places in the capital. It seems that she is Zhou Zheng."
Qingguan calmed down a little.
A stock with potential hidden in the depths, and not greedy for sex. It is great for the second sister to find such a destination.
"Have you mentioned Zhuangzi's matter to Uncle Fu?"
"Go back to Miss, Qian Fu has asked Chen Ping to take care of it. In ten and a half months, there will be news."
Qing Guan stroked his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
Wei was never a sloppy person in doing things. When the marriage was decided, she sent Qingzhi's birth date as a gift.
What's strange is that Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion seemed to be very anxious, and quickly sent Liang Xi's birthday and horoscope.
The two families asked the moral monks of Yangu Temple about this, and they all said that the eight characters matched each other. Wei's anxious heart was finally relieved.
Only then did she call Qingzhi over and tell her the ins and outs of the marriage.
Finally, he added: "Grandma has seen that child. He is quite ambitious and calm. He is definitely not a thing in the pool. He has suffered a lot at the hands of his aunt Duan since he was a child, and he shares the same fate as you."
Qingzhi lowered her head shyly.
"Chun's wife is coming soon. With his ability and reputation, you will have a bright future if you follow him in the future."
Qingzhi felt grateful, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to Mr. Wei.
"Thank you grandma for thinking of your granddaughter."
"If you look carefully, you can also find a better family. Grandma is afraid that someone will use you to catch up with dragons and phoenixes again to influence your ideas, so she is anxious to help you settle."
Qingzhi's eyes slowly turned red. I originally thought that I would die, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, and Prime Minister Gao took the initiative to cancel the engagement.
After the disaster, what else are there to choose from? Such a family and such status are already much better than Gaofu.
Mrs. Wei sighed softly and said: "This is all my grandmother can do for you. You have to rely on yourself for good or bad days in the future. There are many people in that house, and there are many limbs and veins, so there will be twists and turns. As long as you are of the same mind as a man, you will always succeed in the future.”
Qingzhi couldn't bear it anymore and tears fell down.
After the affair with Gao Mansion came to light, her parents not only showed no joy on their faces, but looked at her with a hint of displeasure, as if she was the one who made the marriage come to nothing.
Her father was implicated and went into the army to deliver the order. Then he called his two brothers into the study, but he didn't say a word to her, as if she didn't exist.
Although she had already lost her heart, seeing her biological father treating her like this still made her heart aching. It was a great blessing for her grandmother to think like this for her.
I hope that man, seeing that she is a concubine, will pity her and pity her. In the future, the couple will live together, have children, and grow old together.
Qingzhi secretly hoped in her heart.
Qingzhi's marriage was decided on a small date at Uncle Zhongyong's house. The date was set for October 28th, which happened to be Qingzhi's sixteenth birthday.
Qingguan calculated that there were still eight full months. As long as these eight months are over, she will no longer have to worry about anything.
Yueniang knew Qingguan's concerns best, and she deliberately said to Qingguan in a low voice: "Miss, it has been exactly six years since the second grandma passed away."
Qingguan nodded and smiled: "You remember, and I will remember too. I can wait for eight months."
After Gu Qingzhi's marriage was decided, she rarely appeared in public eyes. Except when she woke up at dawn and dusk, she would only hide in her room and embroider her dowry.
My wife had been worrying about her marriage for the past few days. After everything was settled, she felt a little uncomfortable, and the family asked for medical advice again.
Qingzhi was grateful for her wife's care over the years, so she stayed with him as usual. What's surprising is that this time when she was sick, her wife refused to take care of the second lady, and only let her two daughters-in-law stay in front of her.
Everyone in the Gu family only thought that the madam was unwilling to work for the second young lady who was already engaged. Only Qingguan knew that the madam had planned the second sister's marriage and her treatment of her was no longer as good as before.
Once the second sister marries, she becomes a member of another family. No matter how caring the grandparents are, they are not as caring as their own son.
Qingguan didn't have time to think about these trivial matters in detail. The hospital in charge of Cao Ziang had everything in place and only needed a name. She thought about it for several days, but came up with nothing.
As the saying goes, there is something to think about during the day and something to think about at night. That night Qingguan dreamed of a reinforced concrete city with a time-honored medical center called Tongrentang.
After waking up, she wrote down these three words and ordered Yueniang to send them to the mansion. Qian Fu and Cao Ziang applauded unanimously, and immediately ordered someone to make a plaque and hang it outside the shop.
On February 2, the dragon raised its head, Tongrentang Medical Center was officially opened for business. Cao Ziang sat in the hospital to see a doctor, while seven or eight handsome young men took medicine and cashed out.
What is surprising is that this medical clinic only treats women and refuses male patients.
When the news spread, everyone was amazed. In this world, men are noble and women are humble. This medical clinic only treats female patients. The owner must be crazy. Tong Ren Tang will close down in less than half a year.
Three days after Tongrentang opened, the door was deserted and not a single patient came to get medicine. Cao Ziang couldn't sit still, and he was so anxious that blisters formed on his mouth.
Chen Ping couldn't help it anymore, so he climbed over the wall late at night and asked the lady for help.
Qingguan held the golden gourd cloisonné enamel hand stove in her arms and calmly said: "What's the hurry? There is always someone willing to eat crabs, waiting."
Cao Ziang had no choice but to wait for another five days.
Five days later, a lady passed by Tongrentang and suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. Seeing a medical clinic on the roadside, she didn't care whether it was good or bad, and ordered someone to help her go in to see a doctor.
As the lady walked to Tongrentang, her eyes lit up.
The hall is spacious and bright, and the aqua-colored mahogany furniture exudes elegance. Before she could take a closer look, she was invited into the inner room.
It was more like a study than an inner room. Behind the desk, a handsome man sat with a smile and made an invitation gesture to her.
When the noble lady saw that she was a dazed young man, she turned around and left without even thinking about it. However, she felt a cramp in her abdomen, so she had to bear the pain and sit down, and stretched out her hand helplessly.
A brocade handkerchief was placed on his wrist. The man knitted his eyebrows and checked his pulse. After half a breath, he ordered someone to take a white porcelain bottle from the medicine grab area outside, poured out three pills, and ordered him to drink it with water on the spot.
The noble lady was doubtful, but she saw that the handsome man had clear eyes and a soft color at the corner of his mouth, which made people inexplicably trustworthy.
The lady took the medicine, and the man ordered her maid to help her to rest for a while behind the screen.
The layout behind the screen is like a woman's bedroom, which is extremely luxurious, quiet and elegant. On the mahogany desk stands a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with three pillars of fragrance and sandalwood curling in front of the statue.
The noble lady felt extremely comfortable all over, and her abdominal pain was significantly relieved.
After lying on the white bed for half a cup of tea, the abdominal pain disappeared. The imperial concubine stood up and walked out of the inner room. When she walked to the medicine hall, a waiter had already put the medical certificate issued by the doctor in her hand.
After a brief glance, the cause, symptoms, and future precautions were all written on it, with extremely elegant handwriting.
At this time, another friend took the medicine and handed it to the maid's hand.
The lady couldn't help but look around with her phoenix eyes, approval flashed in her eyes, and she immediately ordered the maid to take out the silver.
On the way back home, the lady thought carefully about her half-day experience, and the more she thought about it, the more interesting it became. When she got home, she told the women in the house about the matter one by one, and everyone found it strange.
From then on, Tongrentang's style was spread by word of mouth among the ladies of the capital. Some looked down upon it, while others were willing to try something new.
Gradually, carriages began to stop at the entrance of Tongrentang, one a day at first, and then several a day. Anyone who comes here for medical treatment will undoubtedly become a regular customer of Tongrentang as long as he comes once. Not to mention the elegant environment and comfortable service, just the gentle and elegant manner of the sitting doctor made these women yearn for it.
