Chapter 118
The morning is bright and sunny, heralding a day of good weather.
Today during dinner, Fu Wei was in a particularly good mood.
"Uncle, have you eaten candy?" Fu Ning raised his little face and asked with pure curiosity.
Fu Wei looked down at her: "Why do you ask?"
The innocent Fu Ning said, "Because my uncle was laughing so happily, it was like he had eaten candy."
Wen Xing, who was sitting next to her, gave her daughter an appreciative look, and her daughter asked what she wanted to ask.
Not only Wen Xing, but everyone else also thought it was a good question.
This morning, Erlang had a bright, eerie smile on his face, as if he had found gold...
No, if it were Erlang, even if he picked up gold, he would just put it in his pocket without changing his expression, but he would never smile so brightly.
This was the first time they saw Erlang smile so happily.
Fu Wei smiled and said gently, "I didn't eat any candy, I just felt good."
He smiles like this when he is in a good mood. What happened to make him so happy? Tell me!
Fu Ning asked again: "Why is my uncle in such a good mood?"
Well, this question hits the heart of everyone.
Everyone's eyes were shining with praise - Great, Fu Ning.
Fu Wei raised his eyes and looked at Yu Ying opposite him, the smile in his eyes almost overflowing.
Yu Ying: ...
Since she agreed to marry him, the smile on his face has never stopped, and his eyes would fall on her from time to time.
It's nothing in the house, but there are so many people here...
She wants face.
Yu Ying lowered her head to drink her porridge, trying her best to reduce her presence.
Fu Wei seemed to have noticed the inquiring expressions on the others' faces, and then calmly withdrew his gaze. He then looked at his niece and said, "Your aunt's clinic has opened, so she's naturally in a good mood."
That’s it?
This is totally unlike him. He wasn't smiling so happily when he opened the store yesterday.
Everyone didn't believe it and always felt that something good had happened to Erlang, but no one dared to ask in detail.
After breakfast, all the family members, except Luo and Fu Ning, went out.
Fu Wei and Fu Zhen were going to the yamen to report for duty, while Yu Ying, her sister-in-law, and Fu An were going to the clinic. After walking for a while, they parted ways.
Watching Yu Ying leave, the smile on Fu Wei's face did not fade. Fu Zhen, who had not asked before, finally asked.
"What on earth makes you so happy?"
Fu Wei withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Zhen.
"After you finish your shift today, come with me to the cloth shop."
Fu Zhen: "Don't you have some cloth at home?"
Fu Wei smiled and explained, "To make wedding clothes."
Fu Zhen raised his eyebrows, as if he had grasped something, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Who wants to get married..."
He paused, then suddenly understood: "You want to go through the wedding ceremony with your sister-in-law?"
The whole family has always known that the young couple are husband and wife in name only, not in reality, and they have never intervened for fear that asking them would make them uncomfortable.
He also knew that these two people had changed since they returned from the county seat before the New Year. They had already become sympathetic to each other, so at this moment, Fu Zhen was not too surprised.
Fu Wei nodded: "Liu Niang and I only have a marriage certificate, and we haven't worshipped heaven and earth. I think worshipping heaven and earth with her is not considered a complete ceremony."
Fu Zhen replied, "Okay, I'll go to the clothing store after my shift."
Fu Wei added: "There are other things for the wedding."
Fu Wei was in a good mood, and the smile on his face never faded throughout the day. When the people in the yamen saw this, they were a little surprised. Mr. Fu usually smiled, so why did his smile seem so different today?

After Yu Ying arrived at the clinic, she opened the door and officially started business.
Yesterday, some rice cakes were distributed on the streets, and many people knew that a new clinic had opened here.
After all, Yu Ying had worked as a doctor at Ji's Medical Clinic. During previous epidemics, he had taken care of many patients at the resettlement center. He had already gained a reputation and had no worries about not having patients to see him.
There were still quite a lot of people seeing the doctor in the morning, and none of them had any major problems.
If Madam Zhou and Madam Chen came, half an hour would be enough.
After all, they were all newcomers, and everyone was still a little uncomfortable, so Yu Ying had to pay more attention to everything. She hardly stopped all day, and even the water was brought by Fu An.
Not to mention that after seeing the doctor, he also had to take care of the magistrate's wife.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when there were no more patients in the afternoon.
It happened that Madam Chen also came, so Yu Ying chatted with her while doing her skin care.
"Madam Yu, you must keep an eye on your husband."
Yu Ying smiled and said, "What did Madam Chen say?"
"I'm embarrassed to say it because there were so many people yesterday. Those little girls almost had their eyes on your husband."
"Madam Yu, don't think that no one will be interested in your husband just because he has a disabled leg. In Yu County, the healthy men are not as handsome as your husband, nor are they as talented as your husband. Not to mention he's the Magistrate's staff. After seeing your husband's appearance, how could you still be interested in other men?"
When a young girl begins to fall in love for the first time, she will not care whether the person is healthy or disabled.
Yu Ying hopes that there won’t be such blind people.
But Madam Chen was also reminding me with good intentions, so I could only politely respond, "Thank you Madam Chen for the reminder. I will definitely keep a closer eye on it from now on and will not let anyone take advantage of it."
After washing Chen Madam's face with homemade cleansing cream, Yu Ying applied a moisturizing and beautifying mud mask made from plants. After washing it off, she applied the cream on top and massaged it for absorption.
This whole process takes three quarters of an hour.
After finishing it, Mrs. Chen took the bronze mirror and looked at it from left to right.
The bronze mirror was not very clear, but Madam Chen felt that the skin on her face had improved a lot. She paid the money readily and made an appointment to come back next time.
After seeing Madam Chen off, Yu Ying rubbed her shoulders and turned to look at the young apprentices who were busy in the shop.
I don’t know when I will be able to stand on my own.
It is rather difficult to recruit a signature doctor. Firstly, this clinic specializes in treating women, so it is inappropriate to recruit a male doctor. Secondly, female doctors are rare in this era, let alone in Yu County.
The only option is to let my sister-in-law take over the massage and skin care business as soon as possible, so that she can focus more on seeing patients and teaching these young girls.
After a busy day, it was the evening hour and there were no patients in the clinic, so he closed the door and went home.
When I got home, I met two brothers who had just returned from their shift.
Wen Xing asked her husband in surprise, "Why did you come back just now?"
Fu Zhen had already promised his second brother to keep it a secret in front of everyone. After looking at his second brother, he replied, "I was busy with something at the government office, so I came back late."
Yu Ying wasn't too curious about what they were busy with. She was a little tired today. After having dinner and taking a shower, she went back to her room to look at the account book.
After a tiring day, the happiest thing is to count money.
She also couldn't wait to know how much revenue the store had earned on the first day of its official opening.
The clinic's rent and various expenses have already cost her almost twenty thousand coins. How could she not be under pressure?
Without deducting any costs, the revenue was three hundred and eighty coins.
Excluding miscellaneous costs, it's about 250 coins.
This number is acceptable.
The facial cream stall in the county government is not making much money because the peak season has passed. So the two together make about 400 coins a day, which is just over 10,000 yuan a month.
According to the current grain prices, it would be about 1,800 kilograms of grain.
After two months of operation, the copper coins had to be exchanged for grain and stored in the county seat.
Otherwise, copper coins will no longer be money from now on.
When Yu Ying was calculating the bill, someone suddenly hugged her from behind, and her back felt warm.
A clear and gentle voice also rang in my ears.
"Otherwise, let Song Sanlang find a remote courtyard in the county seat and don't let others know who the owner of the courtyard is."
When he saw the accounts on the paper, he roughly knew what she was calculating and what she was worried about.
Yu Ying put down her pen, leaned against Fu Wei in a relaxed manner, and replied, "We should rent the yard in advance. With the increase in taxes, there will be more food on the market, and it will be cheaper."
Fu Weiying said, "Then I will send a letter to Song Sanlang tomorrow."
"I wonder if he has enough money. I'll give you another three thousand coins tomorrow and have them delivered."
Fu Wei uttered a low "hmm".
He then said, "Once we have found a good yard, we will pack the food into bags and send them as gifts. Sending some every once in a while will also conceal our tracks."
This is exactly what Yu Ying meant.
There is no need to worry about food; the more the better.
It's just that I don't earn enough money.
Yu County is only the size of a palm. Even if she has the ability, it is impossible for her to make a fortune every day. She can only take it slow and steady.
After a brief discussion, there was silence for a long time. Fu Wei greedily embraced the tenderness in his arms, making him not want to let go, not to mention that she agreed to be his real husband and wife, which made him even more reluctant to let go.
At some point, Yu Ying was carried to the bed by Fu Wei, her clothes slightly opened, and she gradually became confused and lost in desire. Her white, tender and soft body was slightly exposed, and something warm and wet fell on it, causing her body to tremble slightly.
At this moment, Fu Wei suddenly stopped, restrainedly and forbearingly pulled the quilt over Yu Ying, then said "sorry" in a hoarse voice, turned over and left the room.
…
Yu Ying pulled the quilt and stared at the ceiling of the tent blankly.
After realizing his impulsiveness, his face gradually turned red, but he also felt a little annoyed.
Fu Wei really keeps people hanging...
Not only men have desires, women do too!
Yu Ying is an adult woman and has already prepared herself mentally. If he wants to take the next step, she will definitely not refuse. What is the result?
Is he too gentlemanly???
Yu Ying pulled up the quilt to cover her entire head, then kicked the quilt a few times angrily.
Fu Wei walked out of the house, was blown by the cold wind, and washed his face with cold water. It took him a long time to recover.
I felt upset. I could have suppressed my temper before, but now that I was only a few days away from marrying her, why could I no longer bear it?
Fu Wei stayed awake for half an hour before returning to the room. He opened the door slowly and walked to the bedside with light steps. When he met Yu Ying's slightly angry gaze, his steps paused.
After Yu Ying glared at him, she rolled up the quilt and slept on the innermost side.
Fu Wei was stunned.
Ah Ying was indeed angry.
He was silent for a moment before he lay down on the couch, hugged her from behind, and apologized softly, "Ah Ying, I'm sorry. I scared you just now. It's my fault."
Yu Ying: ...
I feel quite complicated.
Forget it, wasn't he doing that out of respect for her and being patient?
Thinking of this, Yu Ying was no longer angry. She turned around and buried herself in his arms, saying helplessly, "I'm not angry with you for this."
Once you start getting angry, don't stop rashly.
Fu Wei hugged Yu Ying, thinking that the wedding dress should be made quickly so that they could get married soon.
Not only do the two people have different thoughts, they are actually going in opposite directions.
