Chapter 1787 Agree
Liu Erlang and his wife were not very satisfied with the Zhou family. After meeting them, Qian Shi was also a little hesitant. "Although Imperial Physician Liu is good, he is a generation older. In the future, when our two families marry, it will be your two families who will interact with each other."
Old Zhou nodded, "The eldest brother and his wife are honest, but Liu Erlang is too shrewd. They look down on our family, so we will definitely suffer if we marry into their family."
Zhou Lizhong, who was sitting next to him, didn't expect that he liked her, but the adults didn't like the adults opposite him.
Xiao Qian hesitated for a moment, then turned to Zhou Lizhong and asked, "Big Head, what do you think of Miss Liu?"
Zhou Lizhong blushed slightly and said, "Miss Liu is a very nice person."
This is what I like.
Zhou Lizhong glanced at Xiaogu and whispered, "She is Xiaogu's apprentice. Xiaogu should know."
Manbao received his gaze and nodded repeatedly, saying to her parents, "Dad, Mom, Sanniang is very independent. She entered the palace to work as a doctor when she was very young, and her family can't really control her."
She smiled and said, "Dr. Liu is a good person. With him around, Sanniang mostly listens to him. You don't have to worry about Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law being wronged by their family. I'm here with Dr. Liu. As for Liu Erlang and his wife, as long as Sanniang and Li Zhong act uprightly, no one will let Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law suffer any injustice."
and……
Manbao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Lizhong. With her around, she didn't believe that the Liu family would let her eldest brother and sister-in-law suffer any injustice.
"The main thing is whether the couple is suitable for each other. Don't worry about family matters."
When Qian heard this, she thought for a moment and then smiled, "That's right. Our family is not bad either. Since Li Zhong likes her, we can ask the girl's family. If they have no objection, we will find a date to propose marriage."
Manbao nodded and decided to go to Jishidiang tomorrow. However, it was a holiday and there were not many people seeking medical treatment in Jishidiang. He didn't know whether Liu Sanniang would go to the pharmacy.
Old Zhou hadn't expected his wife to change her mind so quickly, and he was a little unhappy. After the children had left, he said, "Liu Erlang's eyes are almost raised to the sky. Why did he want to marry like this?"
"Why didn't I see him raise his eyes to the sky?" Qian asked, "Weren't you and Imperial Physician Liu having a good chat?"
"What's the point of me getting along well with him? It's not like the eldest brother and his wife are getting along well with his son and his wife. It's their two families that are getting married."
Qian said, "The couple getting married is Datou and Miss Liu. Although marriage is a matter between two families, the most important thing in life is for the couple. Let me ask you, if we don't get married this time, what kind of person can you find for Datou?"
Old Zhou opened his mouth and found that he couldn't find it.
Qian said, "Manbao is right. Since Miss Liu is a person with her own ideas, it will be difficult for the Liu family to control her. You can be at ease. With Manbao around, the Liu family won't be able to bully the boss and his family."
Old Zhou twisted the tobacco and said nothing.
"You should know that Miss Liu is Manbao's apprentice, and was sent by the Empress to learn medicine from Manbao. When she has mastered her skills, she will become an imperial physician in the palace like Manbao," Qian said. "People like her will disappear once they pass this village."
Only then did Old Zhou remember the most important thing.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and made an excuse for himself, "Yes, Datou is the biggest. In the future, this family will be handed over to him. The daughter-in-law needs to have some ideas."
Qian smiled and nodded.
Old Zhou said, "Okay, but after the person comes in, you and the eldest daughter-in-law should teach her a lesson. Don't let her look down on others like her parents do."
Qian glanced at him and said, "You're dreaming of something nice here, but it's still uncertain whether she will agree or not."
Old Zhou froze when he heard this and began to feel worried. Could it be that Miss Liu didn't like Datou either?
Old Zhou thought about this and felt a little disappointed. "Big Head is the same. He is so old but hasn't learned any skills. He is even worse than Miss Liu."
Qian said, "He is much better than you were when you were young."
When Old Zhou's head was as big as Big Head, he was the laziest. Everything at home and outside the house was taken care of by his wife and parents. He would never stand if he could sit. He had to be urged many times to fetch a load of water. He was famous for being lazy throughout the village. What right did he have to be called Big Head?
Old Zhou didn't expect her to bring up old things. He opened his mouth and then turned his back and ignored her.
Qian didn't coax him and left on her own.
Old Zhou was depressed for a while and couldn't help muttering to himself. Then when he felt better, he went to find Qian again.
Manbao knew nothing about this. She was sitting and chatting with Zhou Lizhong, mainly to find out what his impression of Liu Sanniang was and how determined he was to make this marriage happen.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, who had never been on a blind date, came to listen.
Zhou Lizhong blushed a little in front of adults, but he didn't blush in front of his aunt and other little friends. After all, they grew up together, and he was the one who took them out to play when they were young.
Even though they seemed to be older than him now, he still showed off like an older brother.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang listened with great interest, but Man Bao, who had seen many blind dates, didn't show much of a change in expression. He waved his hand maturely and said, "What's the big deal? Since you like her, remember to give her something next time."
Zhou Lizhong became troubled, "What should I give?"
Bai Shan said very experiencedly: "Send some delicious food, or beautiful and rare flowers and plants."
Zhou Lizhong: "...She is not my aunt."
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "Then you should observe what she likes and give her that. When giving a gift, you should naturally give it to someone you love."
Zhou Lizhong looked at his aunt.
Manbao shook his head and said, "Although I am her master, I really don't know what she likes. Well, does being an official or a doctor count?"
Zhou Lizhong felt that he could no longer rely on his aunt for this matter.
The next morning, Manbao went to Jishitang with all the delicious food her sister-in-law had prepared. She shared the food with Zheng, the shopkeeper, Doctor Ding, and others. Then, she asked Doctor Liu, who was sorting herbs in the backyard, "Sanniang, what do you think of my Li Zhong?"
Liu Sanniang blushed and nodded, "Brother Zhou is a very nice person."
Manbao understood and she also liked it.
So she smiled, reached out and patted her shoulder and said, "Study hard, the rest is the adults' business."
Liu Sanniang: "...Master, are you going to be a matchmaker?"
Manbao shook his head, "I don't mind, but I'm still young, and my mother will definitely not give it to me."
The most important thing is that she is not married yet, so it is not suitable for her to act as a matchmaker.
The matchmaker has to choose someone who is known and familiar to both families, right?
Manbao touched his chin and asked, "Do you think Dr. Xiao is more suitable, or Dr. Zheng?"
Liu Sanniang: ...
It's hard for her to respond to this.
See you at 6pm
