Chapter 694 Why Go to Mingzhou
Xiao Tingwu looked at Xiao Jiuyue with a flattering expression. There were no outsiders around at the moment, so Xiao Tingwu squeezed next to Xiao Jiuyue and said, "Sister, when the time comes, can you talk to my mother about it?"
"Then tell me, why do you want to go to Mingzhou? I thought that even if you didn't stay in Shengjing, you wanted to stay in Hongdu." At least, they were very happy during the years they stayed in Hongdu.
However, Xiao Tingwu chose Mingzhou, which puzzled Xiao Jiuyue.
"Lin Yiyi is going to Xiangcheng, and Cai Ximei's childhood sweetheart is in Shengjing..." Xiao Tingwu called out the names one by one. The other fifteen girls each had a place to go. Some were chosen by drawing lots, and she took the initiative to exchange with Cai Ximei.
"Well, you're being a good person and switching places with Cai Ximei, but have you ever thought about Third Aunt?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her and asked, "Tingwu, this is not your character."
Although Xiao Tingwu has a gentle personality, once she makes up her mind, she will never change her mind even with ten oxen.
Xiao Tingwu would help others, but Xiao Jiuyue believed that this was definitely not just a simple act of kindness.
"Sister." Xiao Tingwu looked at her embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I don't want to get married right now. If I go to Mingzhou, I can postpone it for another two years."
"Also, I want to go to Mingzhou. I think Mingzhou is a Jiangnan water town, where silk is produced in abundance. I want to go and see it."
Xiao Tingwu looked at Xiao Jiuyue a little embarrassedly: "Sister, do you think I'm... very disobedient?"
"Just like Mingzhou?" Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow. At this moment, Xiao Tingwu looked like a high school graduate. In modern times, that would definitely be considered young, but in South Vietnam, that age would be considered quite old.
"Yes." When Xiao Tingwu mentioned Mingzhou, his eyes were filled with longing. He said, "I like Mingzhou. Besides, there's my second aunt's family in Mingzhou. If I go to Mingzhou, I won't be without anyone to rely on, right?"
"That's true." Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly. Compared with her eldest aunt, when the Xiao family was rehabilitated, she still wanted to come over to establish a relationship. Unfortunately, her grandmother was heartbroken and didn't want to pay any attention to her!
When she got married, the Xiao family refused to accept the gift sent by her aunt. Later, Xiao Fu used his connections to transfer the Bai family to another place so that they would be out of sight and out of mind.
"Sister, you'll help me, right?" Xiao Tingwu looked at Xiao Jiuyue eagerly and said, "Two years, just two years. Once I've settled down in Mingzhou and brought my apprentice out, I'll come back, okay?"
"Two years?" Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyebrows.
Xiao Tingwu nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Jiuyue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you two more years."
Since the girl wanted to marry two years later, she was relieved. Seeing Xiao Tingwu's happy eyes, Xiao Jiuyue also felt happy. Xiao Jiuyue went directly into the palace as a member of the Xiao family.
Su Su, Second Aunt, and Third Aunt all entered the palace, bringing several sets of clothes with them. They said, "Yue'er, look, these are the official uniforms we've chosen for the female medical officers. Take a look, which one is the best?"
The three sets of official uniforms for female medical officers are all based on red, but the styles are slightly different.
Xiao Jiuyue picked out the middle set, which was a white inner garment and a red outer garment, and said, "This set will definitely look good on me!"
Xiao Jiuyue chose it at first sight.
"Oh, Madam, we have the same taste!" Third Aunt Nian saw this set and clapped her hands, saying, "This is exactly what I chose!"
Nian was very happy. After the official uniform of the female doctor was ready, she took out the female doctor's casual clothes, one blue and one lotus pink. They were similar to the clothes she wore in the academy, but the pattern details on the collar and sleeves were different.
"Mother, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, I'm confident in the clothes you made. Anyway, the clothes for the first batch of female medical officers in South Vietnam will definitely be made by you. When the time comes, just let the emperor take the clothes to confirm it."
Xiao Jiuyue had another good chat with her family, and soon, Nian began to express her concerns, "Your Majesty, I heard that this batch of sixteen female medical officers will be assigned to the other eight prefectures. Why did Tingwu... go to Mingzhou?"
"Princess Duoning went to Jinzhou because of her fiancé, General Qin. As for Tingwu..." Nian was thinking in her heart. Not to mention Xiao Jiuyue who is the queen now, even the Xiao Jiuyue in the past, Nian had no right to question her. She could only ask carefully.
"Aunt, it was Tingwu who wanted to go to Mingzhou. Firstly, she switched with another girl, and secondly, it was Tingwu's own idea."
Xiao Jiuyue got straight to the point. She could have found many excuses, but in the end, she decided to tell the truth: "If Third Aunt asks, I can intervene and let Ting Wu stay in Shengjing. However, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
"Tingwu has been weak since childhood. If he hadn't gone to Hongdu, I'm afraid Tingwu would have spent his entire life in that small world in the backyard."
Xiao Jiuyue's voice seemed to bring Third Aunt back to the past. Tingwu, who was born prematurely, was so weak that Nian once wondered if she could raise her first daughter.
Nian Shi put a lot of thought into it, and only when Tingwu turned three and her health improved a lot did Nian Shi feel a little relieved. Later, when they arrived in Hongdu, Xiao Tingwu, after being reminded by Xiao Jiuyue, slowly left the yard and practiced yoga again. Xiao Tingwu gradually became like a normal girl!
Now that he had returned to Shengjing, Xiao Tingwu had studied medicine again. Although he had lived and eaten in the academy for the past three years, Xiao Tingwu's complexion was visibly getting better.
"During the years in the academy, Tingwu's health has been getting better and better. If he had stayed in Shengjing, Third Aunt would definitely have arranged a marriage for Tingwu, right?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
Nian nodded somewhat embarrassedly: "My Lady, men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough!"
"Third Aunt is right." Xiao Jiuyue confirmed her statement and said, "But Third Aunt, have you ever thought about how many times a year Tingwu will return to her parents' home after she gets married?"
"If she gets pregnant in the future like my sister-in-law and Yurong, who have two babies in three years, then Tingwu will probably not be able to go out for the next three years. When the children are older, she may stay in the Shengjing clinic for the rest of her life."
"Aunt San, tell me, Tingwu likes Mingzhou. When can we go there?"
Every time Xiao Jiuyue said something, Nian fell silent!
After the girl got married, she no longer came back every now and then. Young Master Jiang loved Yurong very much. Even though they were in Shengjing, he only saw her four, five or six times a year!
When Tingwu was in the academy, Nian would go to see him every ten days or half a month when she was free.
After getting married, Tingwu definitely won't be able to have two children in three years, but at least one child must be born. After that...it all depends on whether her son-in-law is good. Tingwu is in the backyard, maybe...
"Your Majesty, I agree that Tingwu will go to Mingzhou!" Nian responded. She took a deep breath. She often felt trapped in the backyard and could not let her daughter follow her old path.
Tingwu will go to Mingzhou for at least two years. Before getting married, she can go to Mingzhou, the city she has been thinking about day and night, to fulfill her wish. At worst, she will go to Mingzhou in the future.
