"I told you long ago, this girl is very eloquent, it's not worth getting angry with her!" Jin, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, finally spoke up. Originally, she brought Hua Gu here to take the opportunity to suppress this girl, but she didn't know what kind of bewitching potion this girl had given Doctor Fu, because even Doctor Fu was biased towards her, and he was unmoved by the double consultation fee offered by Hua Gu. Could it be that there are really people in this world who don't love money?
How could Hua Gu swallow this insult? She had heard Jin Shi say that this girl was weak-willed and stupid, but now that she had seen her, she was not like that at all. "Doctor Fu, you really make me very sad."
"Miss Hua has a heart ailment, how can you be sad? What if it gets worse? Doctors are compassionate, and Yu Chi is a physician, I can't bear to see patients suffer." Fu Yu Chi had no intention of showing any pity for the lady. He was more than capable of dealing with this kind of person, anyway, he had his apprentice as a shield.
Sun Miao'er's eyes darted around, and she continued, "Master, the book says that heart disease can be relieved with the An Shen Ding Zhi Wan formula, which uses ginseng, poria, and calamus. Aunt Hua has a heart condition, palpitations, and restlessness, so we also need to add bupleurum and albizia bark."
Fu Yuchi nodded approvingly, "Good disciple, you've made progress. I haven't taught you in vain."
Watching the master and apprentice working together, Hua Gu was too lazy to make a fool of herself. "Doctor Fu, next time you have time, come to my house in person. I won't treat anyone else but you, and you'll get double the consultation fee."
Fu Yuchi said respectfully, "Thank you for your high regard, Miss Hua."
"Aunt Hua, please come visit us anytime."
Jin's plan failed. She looked Fu Yuchi up and down and found that apart from his face, he had nothing of value. He was a poor doctor who could earn a lot of money. Hua Gu's family was one of the best in the country, not to mention Fushui Village, but even the three villages in the north and south combined. Others would not be able to marry into the family. And now there was this ungrateful person.
"How old is Doctor Fu this year?" Madam Jin was unwilling to give up. If this marriage were arranged, Hua Gu would probably give her a lot of benefits.
Fu Yuchi had broad shoulders, and when he stood behind Sun Miao'er, he could completely cover her. "Twenty-seven."
"That's wonderful! The Hua family girl is just over thirty. It's said that a woman three years older than her husband is a lucky match. If Doctor Fu is interested, why not make this a happy occasion?" Madam Jin clapped her hands and cheered. She was almost ready to become a matchmaker by adding a mole to her face.
Fu Yuchi chuckled softly, "Yuchi has no plans to marry and have children. He's all alone and carefree, so there's no need to worry about him."
This Physician Fu is completely unyielding; I don't know how that brat managed to hook up with him. Madam Jin rubbed her palms. "Sigh, Physician Fu is such a handsome man, what a pity! But I still advise Physician Fu to consider it. Hua's family is doing very well!"
After Jin finished speaking, she patted the back of her right hand with her left hand, reminding Fu Yuchi to be cautious again and again.
"Master, are you really not planning to consider Aunt Hua? I heard that Aunt Hua's family is very wealthy, and her uncle is a big landowner in the neighboring village!" Sun Miao'er felt that her master seemed harmless and easy to get along with, but in reality, he was hard to get close to. She realized that she didn't understand him yet.
Fu Yuchi also felt that her disciple seemed smart, but was pretending to be stupid at this time. "Then why don't I consider making her your master's wife?"
Sun Miao'er felt embarrassed, as if her wicked scheme had been exposed. She didn't reply, feeling as if there was a pit waiting for her to jump into.
For dinner, Sun Miao'er picked out two half-cooked ears of corn and cooked them for Xiaoman to enjoy. Fu Yuchi originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but he was suddenly called away to make a house call. Sun Miao'er had no choice but to wrap the two ears in corn husks for him to take with him. Anyway, these days they would be planting herbs and seeing each other every day, so she could make up for it by cooking a few more good meals later.
Inside the room, candle wax dripped from the lampstand onto the table. Sun Miao'er spread the cloth on the bed board, holding rusty scissors in her hand. The cloth was dyed, but how to start was a problem.
When she used to make women's clothing, she learned a lot about tailoring, but those were all modern women's clothes. If she were in Fushui Village, she would probably be drowned in spittle as soon as she stepped out the door.
I could only cut and sew the clothes according to the old style, which was better than the previous style where the sleeves were only half-length. It was a short jacket, a half-bust, and a one-piece ruqun. It didn't need any complicated embroidery, and it fit well. However, Zhu Yeqing's eyesight was really exquisite. Even in the dim room, I could see a bit of the difference.
When Sun Miao'er wore this outfit in the morning, Xiaoman's eyes widened in amazement. "Sister, your outfit is so beautiful!"
Sun Miao'er was quite satisfied with her aesthetic sense. The bamboo leaf green skirt looked elegant and beautiful under the sunlight, complementing her youthful face perfectly. It was just that the skirt was a bit long, which would be quite inconvenient when she went to work in the fields.
She simply took out a pair of scissors and cut off the bottom part as well, just enough to cover her ankles so that she wouldn't be pointed at and gossiped about by the villagers when she went out.
Once outside, many village women turned their heads in surprise. They had never seen such a color before. Usually, the clothes they could buy from the peddler were all dark linen. They all thought that Sun Miao'er's bright clothes were brought back from the city.
"Sun family girl, this outfit must be expensive, right?" Liang Lao Er's wife, who usually had a good relationship with the Sun family, didn't hesitate to ask, taking advantage of her family's wealth.
Sun Miao'er laughed and said, "Aunt Liang, it's very cheap. I bought a piece of white cloth for one coin and dyed it myself."
"What? White cloth?" Upon hearing that it was white cloth, Liang Lao Er's family member's expression changed. White cloth was considered unlucky, especially in families with elderly members. Who would buy such a thing?
Sun Miao'er straightened the hem of her clothes. "It's just white cloth, but who can tell right now that it's a garment I made myself, and it fits perfectly."
"That's right, Auntie, look at the color of this dress, it's so bright and vibrant. We don't have fabric like this in our village. I thought it was some hard-to-find item from a shop in the city, but I didn't expect you to make it yourself. What great craftsmanship!"
Liang Lao Er's eyes never left Sun Miao'er's clothes for a moment, he looked at them with great longing.
Sun Miao'er understood the look in her eyes. "It's good that you don't laugh at my rough workmanship. If you like it, I'll get you a bolt of cloth. But I think your skin is fairer than mine, so a brighter color would suit you better. How about I go back and dye a few small pieces of cloth for you to choose from?"
"Hey, in this village, if you dress too brightly, people will probably gossip. It's better to be more plain," Liang Lao Er's wife said, feeling embarrassed by Sun Miao'er's praise.
Before, she lived in a secluded house. Her family had some property, and she always wore bright satin clothes. But there's a saying: "A woman follows her husband wherever he goes." Liang Lao Er was her own choice, and now that they were married, they had to live like family.
Liang Lao Er's earnings were among the highest in the village, but still far less than her family's wealth. Fortunately, he was considerate and caring, and she was happy to be his wife.
Sun Miao'er sized up the woman before her. She was plump and fair-skinned, and the brown and ochre colors she wore didn't flatter her figure. She needed brighter colors to accentuate her strengths and minimize her weaknesses.
