Chapter 163
Not long after, Yu Qiulin looked at the matchmaker in front of him and almost felt numb.
How could it be that...someone came to his door to kiss him.
The other party is still a young and promising young lady with a lot of assets. According to the matchmaker's mother, this green young lady is tall and graceful, and is a rare and rare woman in the world.
Will it be his turn for such a stunning little lady?
Yu Qiulin looked at Xu Yi, who was tall and handsome, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his face.
Compared with him, Xu Yi's beauty can catch his eyes. Why didn't he fall in love with Xu Yi? Instead, he fell in love with him.
He must have thought wrong about Miss Cui. If Xu Yi hadn't refused, nothing would have happened to him.
Yu Qiulin suppressed his uncomfortable look and said to her: "Mother Matchmaker, I already have a family. Jianjing serves my mother at home and is very affectionate with me. I have never thought about exchanging wives. Please refuse this matter on behalf of Mommy Matchmaker." ."
The matchmaker looked at them both in confusion.
"..." Why did everything go so wrong for her when it came to Dr. Xu and others?
In the past, if someone came to her to be a matchmaker, they would not encounter so many problems. Regardless of whether it was a young lady or a young man, there was no marriage that she could not match up with.
It turned out to be better this time. Either I didn't have this ambition, or I was already married.
The matchmaker’s mother didn’t want to accept any more commissions from Cui Xiaoniang, because she was afraid that her bad start would spread, and no one would dare to come to her for matchmaking in the future.
"Yu Guanren is joking. No matter how anxious I am, I don't dare to mess with other people's good marriages." The matchmaker's mother smiled. She is not a matchmaker who does evil things. "Besides, Miss Cui just asked me to Come and ask, it’s not really just Yu Guanren. Since Yu Guanren already has a wife, let’s let this matter go.”
In order to prevent them from spreading rumors, the matchmaker did not forget to give her some instructions before leaving.
The general meaning is that I hope they will not spread what they said today, so as not to ruin the face of this young lady.
Xu Yi: "..."
Yu Qiulin: "..."
Their expressions were subtle, but they didn't say anything, except A Xu was not at home. This time, Xu Yi personally sent her out.
When Xu Yi returned, Yu Qiulin looked at him with something different in his eyes.
"Brother Yi, are you hiding something from me?" Yu Qiulin asked.
Xu Yi held his wide sleeves in his arms, pretending not to understand what he meant, and asked, "What am I hiding from you?"
"You..." Yu Qiulin raised his voice, wanting to ask the matchmaker if her mother had approached Xu Yi, but she didn't want to. When they got up, the matchmaker's mother told them not to spread the news.
He paused, lowered his voice and asked, "Tell me, have you been contacted?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xu Yi had no choice but to nod and admit.
Yu Qiulin was surprised: "Why don't you agree? That Cui Xiaoniang is such a beautiful woman, she is a perfect match for you at first glance."
Xu Yi pinched his eyebrows helplessly and said: "I have just traveled now, how can I delay the other party? , Miss Cui’s family business is in Zitong. If it really comes to pass, will I stay or will she leave with me?”
Yu Qiulin sighed, this problem is indeed difficult to solve.
He secretly thought that it would be best if the other party could follow Xu Yi and leave Zitong and move the family business to Yanting. But looking at Xu Yi's behavior, it is not the behavior of such an aggrieved woman.
Yu Qiulin thought of something and said, "Stop talking about this, when do you plan to leave Zitong?"
Xu Yi glanced outside the door. The sky was gray and it might snow in a few days.
The weather was getting colder and it was not suitable to travel far in winter. He had to wait until the first day of the new year before starting again.
When the time comes, he will entrust something to Yu Qiulin and ask him to help bring it back to his friends and elders in Yanting.
After hearing his arrangement, Yu Qiulin was a little surprised: "I thought you would leave in a hurry."
"Don't be in a hurry. Only by traveling a long way can you see the beautiful scenery." Xu Yi smiled leisurely.
...
Soon, the two of them had almost forgotten about the matchmaker coming to their home.
Xu Yi continued to set up a stall outside Cui Xiaolou to see doctors. Yu Qiulin stayed there for two days before setting off for a trip back to Yanting County.
Not long after he left, mist snow started to fall in the sky, and A Xu and A Jin rushed back from the old doctor's house.
Seeing that it was such a cold day in Xu Yi, even Tang Pozi was useless, Ah Jin was about to cry in anger.
"How can Mr. Lang not care about his body so much? What if he gets too cold?" Ah Jin's eyes were a little red. He gritted his back teeth and angrily brought the charcoal basin and put charcoal blocks in it.
While adding charcoal, she stared at Xu Yi: "If I hadn't been clever and thought that Lang Jun didn't like to use charcoal fire, and called my brother back, wouldn't Lang Jun have stopped using it?"
Xu Yi said He was left speechless by her questioning. He really forgot to use the charcoal basin.
"Okay Ah Jin, I was wrong. From now on..." Xu Yi is very easy to talk to and doesn't get angry even if he is scolded. Even though he will do it again in the future.
Ah Jin gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and thought to himself: This man is a husband, so he cannot be scolded or scolded.
A Xu looked at his sister and said immediately: "Whether it's me or A Jin from now on, the husband will have someone by his side. It's better to have someone to take care of these menial tasks without the husband having to do anything."
Xu Yi nodded and said on the spot Both hands agree, with them around, he can indeed feel less worried.
He also gradually understood that while A Xu and A Jin relied on him, he also relied on them.
Xu Yi has become accustomed to them being around. These days when they are not around, he always forgets and calls the wrong person from time to time.
At this time, Ah Jin put the charcoal basin in the corner of the room and turned around to get the clothes Xu Yi had changed and washed in the past few days.
Just as she was about to fold her clothes, she saw a slit in the sleeve of the azure gown in her hand.
Ah Jin paused and said, "Lang Jun, why are these clothes torn?"
Xu Yi looked over and said casually: "That's what happened. I followed Erqing to the mountains two days ago and met a wild dog. It was quite fierce, and it rushed over to bite me, but Xiao Huang repelled it."
A Xu and A Jin became nervous immediately after hearing this.
"Lang Jun, are you okay?" The two of them came closer and looked around worriedly.
"What can happen to me?" Xu Yi said with a chuckle, "Erqing just ran too fast and fell and hurt his ankle. He will have to stay at home for a few days to recover."
Ah Jin said "Oh" and said, "No wonder he hid in the house and couldn't come out when we first came back."
She thought that after not seeing each other for a few days, Erqing had turned into a petite little lady and wouldn't even leave the house.
It turns out that this happened and it was not easy to come out and see people.
Ah Jin snickered in his heart and planned to go to the house to see him later.
A Xu asked: "Brother Erqing was not seriously injured, right?"
Xu Yi smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter."
Erqing would be confused if he cared. At that scene, the wild dog appeared so suddenly that Xu Yi didn't immediately react.
When he came to his senses, Xiao Huang rushed over first.
Before he could make a move with the machete, Erqing followed Xiao Huang's figure and ran towards him. He didn't care about the stones under his feet, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.
This made Xu Yi a little embarrassed, but it was difficult to take action again.
Fortunately, Xiao Huang, who was brave enough to face the ferocious wild dog, did not flinch at all and drove it away.
Ah Jin said depressedly, "Why are you not as good as me?"
Xu Yi looked at her with a smile and said, "Ah Jin has learned the skills, and now she can stand alone even if she sets up a female household."
Ah Jin's proud smile froze . , his eyes glanced elsewhere, but did not look into Xu Yi's eyes.
No one else could have said this to Yi Yi in such a way as to make her panic.
A Xu on the side looked at his sister in a daze. Her sister was already sixteen and seemed to be of age to get married.
The brother and sister each had their own concerns. At night, A Xu went into Xu Yi's room to study ink.
The light in the room was bright. A Xu lowered his eyes and saw that the side of Lang Jun's face was covered with a layer of golden light, making him even more handsome and handsome. He suddenly shouted: "Lang Jun."
Xu Yi did not stop writing when he heard the words, and responded gently. He said, "Huh?"
A Xu thought for a long time before saying, "Lang Jun, my sister will be seventeen early next year. I, I am thinking about whether I should find a marriage for my sister at her age."
The next moment, Xu Yi put down his pen and looked at the young man next to him with slightly raised eyebrows.
The young man's facial features have long since lost his timidity and rawness, and because he has been practicing martial arts since he followed Xu Yi, he is now tall and has a powerful temperament.
He is no longer the skinny kid with inferiority complex and panic in his eyes.
Xu Yi sighed, what should come will eventually come.
"What are your plans?" Xu Yi asked him.
A Xu shook his head and said honestly: "I don't know, that's why I wanted to ask Lang Jun."
Xu Yi was quite satisfied with his answer: "Then don't think about it, let A Jin make his own decision on this matter."
"Huh?" A Xu's eyes were blank.
Xu Yi said: "You can ask Ah Jin sometime if she has ever thought about getting married. If there is someone you like, please tell me and I will make the decision for her."
Ah Xu scratched his head, Lang Jun made sense . .
Then he will go find his sister tomorrow.
...
On the other side, Ah Jin was not in her room. She knocked on Er Qing's door with the bruise plaster she made.
"Clang--" The sound of something falling to the ground came from the room.
After a while, the door in front of him opened inward. Erqing looked at Ah Jin with suppressed red cheeks and stuttered: "Sister Ah Jin, why are you here?"
Ah Jin said bluntly: "I came to see what you want." How long do you have to lie down before you get up?"
After hearing this, Erqing said awkwardly: "I will go to the mountains tomorrow and won't lie down anymore."
Ah Jin paused.
She sighed helplessly: "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that if you really fell seriously, you still need to take good care of yourself."
After that, she glanced into the room and saw the wooden chair being lifted up, and the corner of her mouth raised. He got up and threw the ointment he brought towards Erqing.
Erqing took it in a panic, looked down at the palm of his hand, and found that it was ointment.
His chest suddenly beat loudly, something was wrong.
"Sister Ah Jin..."
Ah Jin interrupted him: "Okay, there's no need to say anything about gratitude. If you didn't fall because you were trying to save Lang Jun, I wouldn't bother to talk to you."
Er Qing blushed. Red ear root.
Suddenly, he felt that the fall was worth it.
Until Ah Jin left, he was still smiling stupidly while holding the ointment in his hand.
Back in the house, Erqing looked at the ointment and was reluctant to use it. He only took a finger's amount and applied it on the red and swollen ankle.
This ointment exudes a strong medicinal smell, but when it is applied to the ankle, the red, swollen and hot areas feel cold. It seems to be very effective.
The next day.
Ah Jin got up and went to the kitchen to get hot water. Before she could leave, Ah Xu stopped her.
"Sister, I have something to ask you."
A Jin raised his chin: "Wait until I deliver the water to Lang Jun's house."
A Xu had no objection. Lang Jun's matter was more important. He nodded and said, "Sister Go quickly."
Xu Yi was practicing boxing in the yard. When he heard A Jin's footsteps, he turned around to see her coming with a basin.
Ah Jin skillfully placed the water basin on the stone table in the yard and went to Xu Yi's house. When he came back, he had the toothbrush and tooth powder Xu Yi used every day in his hand.
Xu Yijing reached over and took the things she had prepared. After washing, he poured the water into the sewer in the corner of the yard.
Xu Yi asked her with a smile: "What did you eat this morning?"
Ah Jin replied: "Brother made white flour steamed buns, boiled chicken and soy milk."
The soy milk she mentioned was not that soy milk, but thick soup made from boiled soybeans. . You need to soak the soybeans overnight in advance, then add well water to boil when you wake up in the morning.
Boil the soybeans until they become mushy, then crush them with a wooden spoon and mix them into the thick soup to eat together.
This is the soy milk that people love to drink nowadays.
As for the modern soy milk that Xu Yi had drunk before, it was not that he had never thought about it. It was just that he did not have a millstone at home to grind the soy milk.
The market only sells tofu. Although they sell milk, it has nothing to do with soy milk. Tea is sold by push carts or ladle bearers. [Note 1]
When shouting, he will shout: "Selling pulp~"
However, Xu Yi feels that although there is a difference between soy milk cooked directly from beans and soy milk cooked after grinding, it is not a big problem.
Soon, Xu Yi and his party went to the back room to have dinner.
Erqing also came out. When he woke up today, he saw that his ankles were not so red and swollen, so he wanted to go to the mountains again.
But Xu Yi didn't let him go, wanting him to have a good rest at home.
During the light snow season, fine snowflakes fall from the sky and melt instantly when they fall on people.
It's okay to stay outdoors for a short period of time, but over time, the fine snow will melt and seep into clothes, making people susceptible to cold and wind-chill.
It was just past three o'clock in the morning, and all the people going out were ordinary people and officials who were going on errands.
Xu Yi looked at the snow falling outside and was not in a hurry to go to Cui Xiaolou for medical treatment.
He sat in the main room, taking advantage of the dizzy light, holding his forehead in one hand, and reading the travel guide leisurely with the other hand.
Before I read a few pages, there was a knock on the door outside.
A Xu ran to open the door and saw a strange young man.
When the young boy saw him, he saluted and shouted: "Doctor Xu, are you at home?"
"Mr. Lang is at home." A Xu responded and asked him, "What do you want?"
The young boy revealed his identity and the purpose of his visit: "My little wife. I am the owner of Cui Xiaolou and I would like to ask Dr. Xu to visit me. "
