Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 187: Pingyang Marquis and his wife, the prince are here
Thinking that his daughter Wanwan might be frightened, Ye Tingxiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
But his Wanwan is not an ordinary woman, so it is difficult to scare her.
She has always been a calm and fearless person. She has never been afraid of thieves, wolves, or bandits, so how could she be scared by today's scene?
He worried too much.
What he felt more was heartache. His Wanwan was too strong, stronger than most men. With him around, he hoped that Wanwan would be able to act like a spoiled child, get jealous, and throw tantrums like other women.
You don't need to carry all the responsibilities on your own shoulders, share some with him.
Chen Xiangxiu's operation of opening the warehouse to look for something naturally alarmed Xu.
"Madam, what are you looking for? Do you need my help?"
Xu always respected Chen Xiangxiu, and Chen Xiangxiu treated her kindly. The two of them really got along like real sisters and there was never any rift between them.
"Zhongyuan is back, and his illness is cured. It was Doctor Du who cured him. Doctor Du saved him twice. I cannot thank him enough. I will repay him with my own body. I will find some things and go to Doctor Du's house to propose marriage."
Xu was at a loss: "Propose a marriage? Who should I propose to? Isn't Doctor Du a man? How can the prince pledge himself to me?"
Chen Xiangxiu laughed, and laughed very happily: "Doctor Du is not a man, but a woman."
"Ah? A girl?" Xu suddenly felt envious. "Doctor Du is really amazing. She has been dressed as a man for so long without anyone noticing.
This ability is not something that ordinary women have, and this bearing is not something that ordinary women should have. If such a person entered our county governor's mansion, I don't know how much blessing it would bring to our family. "
Speaking of Du Wanwan's ability, Chen Xiangxiu was delighted: "Yes! Our Zhongyuan family is very blessed. It is a great honor to marry a genius doctor like her."
Xu helped Chen Xiangxiu find things. They prepared some precious medicinal herbs as souvenirs, wrapped them in red paper, and waited for Ye Zhenghai and Ye Tingxiao, father and son, to come.
The official media have arrived and are waiting in the hall.
The father and son washed and dressed neatly, came to Chen Xiangxiu's yard, took their things, went to the front hall to call the official mediator, and took a carriage straight to the People's Clinic.
The number of patients at the People's Clinic today was similar to that of ordinary days. Du Wanwan was wearing a white gown and her hair was still tied up in a Taoist bun, but she didn't use a white headband to tie it up, but a sub-blue one instead.
The long hairband fell down and landed on the shoulders, looking very elegant and refined.
People had been queuing up to see the doctor. Ye Zhenghai and Ye Tingxiao were afraid of affecting the normal business of the clinic, so they parked the carriage at the street corner and walked over with Chen Xiangxiu and the matchmaker.
After entering the People's Clinic, he didn't dare to say hello to Du Wanwan, for fear of disturbing her while she was seeing patients. He just nodded slightly and went to the backyard.
Ye Zhenghai had lived in Liangjun City for many years, and the people knew him. When they saw him coming with his wife, the official matchmaker, and the prince, they didn't know what they were doing.
Only after people entered the backyard did some people dare to whisper quietly.
"Marquis Pingyang and Madam, what is the prince doing here? He is holding so many things in his hands. It looks like he is here to propose marriage."
"Who are you proposing to? Doesn't the prince of Pingyang Marquis have that disease? Could it be that Doctor Du has cured him?"
"Of course. Who is Doctor Du? How can such a small illness stump him? She cured the mighty general, so how could she not cure the prince's illness?"
"It looks like he is here to propose marriage to the Du family, but the girl from the Du family is only twelve years old, she is too young."
Du Wanwan was not anxious when she heard what these people said. Instead, she blamed Ye Tingxiao for being too anxious. He just came back last night, and he came to propose marriage today, as if she was very popular.
Ye Tingxiao: “!!!!”
I can guarantee that as long as you regain your girlhood, suitors will line up from the People's Hospital to the city gate.
It's better to strike first! He doesn't want to miss such a good girl.
In the backyard, Du Jiang and Yao Meixian were discussing what to eat for lunch. Suddenly, they saw a few people walking in and stood up in panic.
Ever since their son moved his workshop to a farm outside the city, the couple have been responsible for preparing three meals a day for the family and taking care of the children's food and daily life.
Of course, there is nothing to take care of. They are all grown up and they don’t need to worry about anything, such as eating, dressing themselves and going to school.
However, the two of them cooked every day, and the money for household expenses was given by the son. The daughter wanted to give some money, but was stopped by the son, saying that he was a man and had to support a family.
The daughter did not refuse, and he gave her whatever he wanted. Sometimes she would also take back the food that the patients sent her, such as chicken, duck, and goose.
Life at home has become much better now, and we no longer care about those trivial matters.
"My Lord! Madam! My Lord! Why are you here?"
Yao Meixian had met both Ye Zhenghai and Shen Xiangxiu, and was more familiar with Ye Tingxiao. Although she felt a little awkward, she greeted him casually.
There was no fawning or currying of favor, it was just like meeting an old friend.
She knew about her daughter's relationship with the prince. Their family was in such a condition. If the Ye family really wanted Wanwan, they would naturally not be picky about the etiquette.
If you don't see it well, you will still say something else no matter how good the treatment is.
Just like the marriage between my son and the Chu family, the Chu family treated them sincerely, and they also treated them sincerely. If they came with false intentions, they would not be very sincere.
Chen Xiangxiu quickly grabbed Yao Meixian's hand and said, "Don't be so polite. I am really sorry for disturbing you by coming here today."
Du Jiang asked everyone to sit down and made tea for the guests: "Don't disturb! It is an honor for the Du family to have the Marquis and his wife's family here."
Ye Zhenghai took the tea and pulled Du Jiang to sit down: "Brother Du! Don't be polite. We are indeed intrusive in disturbing you today. Madam is right."
The official media was a fat woman in her fifties. Her hair was heavily oiled and shiny, so smooth that flies couldn't even stop at it. She also had a red velvet flower stuck in her bun.
She was wearing a bright red jacket, a green pleated skirt, red embroidered shoes, and a pipe hanging around her waist.
A standard matchmaker look.
She also took the tea and thanked Du Jiang: "Thank you, Master Du, for the reward."
Du Jiang felt embarrassed by what she said: "It's just a cup of tea, it's not a reward."
The official media immediately adjusted the atmosphere and laughed: "Master Du! In your place, even a straw you give is a reward for people like us."
Yetingxiao helped Du Jiang make tea, first serving it to Yao Meixian, then to Chen Xiangxiu, then poured himself a cup and then poured a cup for Du Wanwan.
The Du family has no servants, so everyone has to do everything themselves.
Chen Xiangxiu was a little uncomfortable, but she saw that her son was very used to it and could make tea very smoothly, so he must have come here often.
At this moment, Du Wanwan was still seeing patients, while Du Xiuxiu would occasionally look into the backyard. She heard laughter coming from inside, but she didn't know what was being said.
Is it really to be a matchmaker for my eldest sister? If my eldest sister marries into the Pingyang Marquis's mansion, will she still be able to open a clinic in the future?
