Chapter 17: Unable to bear the pain of being married
Half an hour passed quickly, and Mrs. Wang's headache gradually eased. After a while, she felt nothing at all.
Mrs. Wang was so excited that she stood up and jumped twice on the spot. Her headache was gone.
You know, in the past, she would have a headache for several days.
When the pain was severe, it felt like there were two stones in my head, which was extremely heavy. It was common to feel like vomiting because of the pain.
As soon as I stood up, the stones in my head began to bump around, and my eyeballs seemed to be pressed by something, which was very uncomfortable.
The medicine from the Imperial Hospital could only relieve the pain, not cure it.
Less than half an hour after taking the medicine, the symptoms began to ease. After half an hour, the headache symptoms completely disappeared. Mrs. Wang felt as light as a swallow and had never been so energetic as she is now.
"Miss Fifth is a miracle doctor!" Madam Wang looked at Jian Ruonan with gratitude.
Madam Wang had never taken ibuprofen before, so the effect was quick and good. She didn't know what caused her headache. To cure it, she had to find the cause.
Jian Ruonan said modestly, "It's just a relief. It will hurt again next time. My medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You can take the remaining two pills next time you have pain."
Madam Wang said with gratitude, "It's good enough to relieve the pain. Nan Nan, how much of this medicine do you have left? Can you sell me more? I know this is a secret recipe. I'll pay three times, no, five times the price."
Madam Wang pulled Jian Ruonan and insisted on buying the medicine at a high price.
Other ladies who had headache patients at home also wanted to buy a few pills.
Several ladies discussed and set the price for her, ten taels of silver per pill, and they felt that they had taken advantage of her.
You know, in this dynasty, the annual expenditure of an average family was only three or four taels of silver.
Jian Ruonan:? ? ! !
Is money so easy to come by?
If she could earn more points to draw cards, she could not only sell medicine but also other things. Wouldn’t she be rich! ! !
[Money comes, money comes from all directions, covering the sky and the earth, coming from the east and the south, and money comes into my arms! ! ]
[Ancestors bless me! ! ! 】
Min: "..."
Jian Ruonan thought for a moment, "I'll go back and ask the master if I can sell this medicine. I'll ask someone to tell Madam after I find out clearly."
Madam Wang held Jian Ruonan's hand, and she liked her better than her own daughter, "Don't worry, it's best to ask clearly, Madam will definitely not take advantage of you."
"Fifth Miss is a good doctor! The descendant of a miracle doctor!!" "
Fifth Miss, can you also help me? I always feel sore in my legs recently..."
Everyone surrounded Jian Ruonan and praised her fiercely, especially Madam Wang. After her headache was relieved, she felt that the whole world became beautiful and fresh.
Jian Ruonan's reputation as a miracle doctor spread immediately. I believe that within three days, the whole capital will know that the fifth lady of the Jinyang Marquis's family is virtuous, proficient in medical knowledge, and a model of a lady.
By then, the threshold of the Marquis of Jinyang's mansion will be trampled down by matchmakers.
"The fifth young lady is so pretty, how can anyone say that she doesn't have one?" A good girl is sought after by all families, and someone immediately pulled Min to ask.
Min was originally worried that it would be difficult to arrange a marriage after Nan Nan's background was discovered, but now in this situation, Nan Nan will definitely marry a good family.
Min was in a good mood, and chatted cordially with the wives of officials about the outstanding young people in the family.
The banquet at the Duke of Ping's mansion was originally a blind date meeting in disguise. The wives of the officials brought their sons and daughters, under the guise of paying respects, so that everyone could see them, and those who were attracted to each other would get to know each other privately.
Jian Ruonan finally squeezed out from a group of patients, and was pulled by Min to pay respects to the ladies.
Jian Ruonan whispered to Jian Xilu, "What is mother doing?"
Jian Xilu pulled her sister aside and whispered to her, "She's helping you find someone."
Jian Ruonan: ! !
"I'm only ten years old, am I going to get married?"
"Just look around first. If there's a good one, don't rush to decide. Take your time to choose. It will take several years to finally choose and prepare the dowry, so you don't have to rush." Jian Xilu smiled and explained to her sister: "Don't be afraid, mother will choose a few young men and let you go to see them in advance. After you are satisfied, she will agree."
Jian Ruonan's mood instantly fell, and she felt that the peanut crisps in her mouth were not fragrant. "Sister, can I not get married?"
"How can I not get married?" Jian Xilu smiled and joked: "Are you shy, sister?"
Jian Xilu was also very shy when she was chosen before. I guess her sister is the same as her when she was a child. It will be better after more contact.
[I'm not shy, I just can't stand the hardship of getting married! ]
Jian Xilu:? ?
What's the hardship of getting married?
My sister was brought up by Aunt Zhou. Could it be that she was influenced by Aunt Zhou?
"Don't worry, sister. The person chosen by mother should be from a very good family. She will not let you be someone's concubine."
[I just can't bear the hardship of being a mistress! ]
Jian Ruonan was even more sad. Jian
Xilu was even more confused? What is the hardship of being a mistress?
[Being a mistress is even harder. Not only do you have to manage the household, but you also have to manage concubines and the children born by concubines. You have to get up early and stay up late every day to serve your parents-in-law. Your husband may be a ladybug... and a rotten cucumber. I will draw my sword! ]
Jian Xilu: "..."
What are ladybugs and rotten cucumbers?
Why are you with ladybugs and rotten cucumbers?
[I don't want to have children either. Having children in this dynasty is simply a matter of life and death! Without anesthesia, I can’t do a caesarean section. It’s easy to lose two lives. And there’s the pressure of having to give birth to a son! 】
【Can I shave my head and become a nun? 】
【I don’t know if there is a Ganlu Temple here... Oh, no, as a nun I can’t eat meat, and I still have to work. I can’t bear the pain of not being able to eat meat! 】
【By the way, let mother choose a man who died before getting married! 】
【I will be a widow after I get married. When my husband’s family sees that I am a widow, they will definitely treat me well, and I can continue to lie down!!! 】
【Nannan, you are such a clever little girl! 】
Jian Ruonan: [Tong, show me quickly, among these young men, who has a good family background but is still short-lived? ! ]
Jian Xilu: "..."
My sister's idea is so... strange.
What is anesthesia? What is a caesarean section?
It sounds like the stomach is opened during childbirth... Is this what the miracle doctor taught?
There is also the idea that being a mistress is very hard. Although it sounds a bit absurd, it seems to make sense when you think about it carefully.
Jian Xilu has been learning to be a housekeeper with her mother since she was a child. She watched her mother respect her parents-in-law, treat her uncle well, take care of her children, and take care of the girls in her father's backyard. It is true that her life is very tiring, but it seems that everyone lives this way.
And marrying a short-lived person seems to make some sense...
Min was chatting with the official's wife on the side. When she heard Nan Nan's thoughts, she almost choked on her tea.
She didn't care about chatting and immediately came to the two daughters.
If she didn't come, the eldest daughter would be corrupted!
