Chapter 21 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 21 Fang Shu was very anxious, half a day...
Fang Shu's words deeply hurt Liang Mo's heart, and Yu Qinglong wanted to slap him with the bowl in his hand.
He ate the breakfast made by the other person's mother and asked the other person's grandfather to treat his back injury. Before he even left the house, he caused trouble for the young master. Fang Shu is really a piece of shit.
The key is that this guy Fang Shu just talks, let’s see what he does!
Yu Qinglong gave the unreliable scholar a silent warning, then comforted Liang Mo: "When Mo'er grows up, he will marry a more beautiful and kind girl. She will be as good as your father and your mother. Don't listen to your Uncle Fang's nonsense."
Liang Mo said "hmm", finally not so sad anymore, but when he looked at Fang Shu, he felt a little bit displeased and hummed quietly.
He had originally thought that Uncle Fang, who had come to him and given him candy and helped Uncle Qinglong, was a good man. But now he felt that this man had come to help that "official" steal Uncle Qinglong's property.
The child glared at the scholar and ate in silence.
Fang Shu felt a little guilty after he finished speaking, but words spoken were like spilled water and could not be taken back.
And not long after he finished speaking, Doctor Mo looked at him with an expression that said, "I knew you were thinking this," which made him feel really embarrassed. He quickly finished his meal, stood up, and bowed, saying, "I thank you, Doctor Mo, for your treatment and for inviting me to dinner. However, I have some things to attend to at home, so I can't stay for long. I'll come to visit you again another day."
Doctor Mo said, "Go ahead. Don't rush into things; taking things slowly is the right way."
Fang Shu responded respectfully and walked away steadily.
After a while, Doctor Mo suddenly remembered something and asked Yu Qinglong, "Did Mr. Fang take the bottle of pills?"
Yu Qinglong said: "It seems not."
Doctor Mo said, "Go and take a look. If it's really fallen, go and take it away. It's hot out, and if you keep it for too long, it won't be as effective."
Yu Qinglong had just finished eating, so he found the medicine bottle and chased after him.
Mo Xiaoning then asked, "Father, this man is unmarried, and my brother is unmarried. Will it hurt Long'er's reputation if we let them meet alone?"
Doctor Mo said, "If he wants to be a doctor, he won't be able to treat injuries and illnesses if he can't stand this little criticism. It doesn't matter."
Mo Xiaoning nodded and said nothing more.
Fang Shu had long legs, and he quickly covered quite a distance. Yu Qinglong chased him for a long time before finally catching up: "Mr. Fang!"
When Fang Shu heard it was Yu Qinglong, he turned around and went back to greet him: "Brother Long, is there anything else?"
Yu Qinglong was slightly stunned.
I've heard people call him that many times before, but why does this guy's way of calling him sound a little different?
It seems a little too intimate.
Yu Qinglong frowned slightly and handed over the thing in his hand. "My master made this medicine for you. He said it's too hot to keep it out, so take it as soon as possible."
Fang Shu took it and asked, "Does it say how much I can eat in a day?"
I really don't know...
Yu Qinglong said, "My master didn't say anything. Why don't you go and ask again?"
Fang Shu said, "Okay."
After saying that, he walked back with the medicine bottle.
This time, the pace wasn't as fast; Yu Qinglong even felt it was slow. He followed behind, about three or four meters away, walking at a normal pace, but soon he was walking side by side with the man. How could this be the pace of someone rushing to ask questions? This was clearly a leisurely stroll.
Falling here leisurely, dawdling!
Yu Qinglong let out a "tsk" and took a few big strides to catch up, then walked quickly towards Doctor Mo's house.
Seeing how fast he was, Fang Shu had to hurry up to catch up. But he still remembered to keep a certain distance. He said, "Long Ge'er, slow down. I still have some questions to ask."
He walked slowly before because he was thinking about what to say.
"What do you want to ask?"
"If, if my parents can agree today that you can continue your medical studies, can you calculate the one-month deadline from today?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yu Qinglong was genuinely suspicious. "Are you planning to kidnap me and sell me off?"
"How could that be? Don't talk nonsense." Fang Shu said, "I just, I just want you to come to my house as soon as possible. I have a lot of interesting things I want to show you."
Sharing one's hobbies is always a good intention, so Yu Qinglong said, "Whatever you say."
Fang Shu became happy again and asked about the dosage of the pills before leaving. Yu Qinglong felt that the word "happy" was written on the back of this kid's head.
After he left, Yu Qinglong asked Doctor Mo, "Master, does Young Master Fang have any interesting things at home? He seems to like wooden toys and stone ornaments."
Doctor Mo said, "Yes. He's smart, and his comprehension is extraordinary, but he just doesn't like to study. He just likes wood and stones, and his mother often beat him for this when he was a child. But there's nothing you can do about it, because you can't fight your nature. But his craftsmanship is not as good as yours."
He had been to the Fang family several times in previous years. He had seen the things in Fang Shu's house; there were all sorts of strange things. But generally speaking, they were just ornaments, and he didn't think anything was worth showing off. Unlike Yu Qinglong, whose things were either beautiful or practical, or both.
What can I say about Fang Shu's cooking skills? Fang Shu's mother gets angry eight hundred times a year, and every year she has to ask him for some liver-soothing and depression-relieving medicine.
However, it is never good to speak out some truths, so Dr. Mo just thought about it in his heart.
This led Yu Qinglong to become even more curious about Fang Shu's belongings. It was simply too boring here. There wasn't even a place to watch a play in this rural area, let alone anything else. All day long, he'd either be working or eating, or eating and working.
In the afternoon, matchmaker Zhou arrived as promised. Yu Dayou and Zhou Yuehua had made time to wait. After learning of Yu Qinglong's intentions, the couple told the matchmaker the truth, clearly expressing their hope that Yu Qinglong could continue his medical studies with Dr. Mo after marrying him. If the Fang family agreed, they would wait a month and then formally propose marriage.
During this month, neither family should leak the news. This also gives both families time to carefully consider the matter. If either family feels that the matter is inappropriate, they can pretend that it never happened.
Matchmaker Zhou asked repeatedly, and even advised: "Brother Zhou, this is a good marriage that many people can't even come across. Do you really want to make such a request?"
Zhou Yuehua said, "Seriously. Please just talk to the Fang family for us."
This not only protects the Fang family, but also protects Yu Qinglong.
On closer inspection, the gap between the two families was indeed too great. If the Fang family quickly changed their minds, and the matter had already been made public, their children would be left in an awkward position. Rather than let this happen, it would be better for everyone to think it over carefully.
If the Fang family still decides to enter into this marriage a month later, it will be enough to show the other party's sincerity.
Matchmaker Zhou saw the Yu family's determination and left after confirming it. However, she did not go directly to the Fang family, but went to a temple not far from Shangxi Village.
"Did his family really say that?" Fang Wu was waiting here. After hearing this, she asked the matchmaker Zhou.
"It's absolutely true. I was afraid I'd misheard, so I asked several times," Matchmaker Zhou said. "I've noticed that although Yu Qinglong is a boy, his family loves him very much. I just wonder what you think."
"I need to discuss the matter of studying medicine with my family's head. But the Yu family is quite sensible." Fang Wu and matchmaker Zhou were old acquaintances, and they had always had a good relationship. She had nothing to hide, so she spoke frankly, "I was mainly attracted by the boy's strong physique. You've met him twice. What do you think of him?"
"Want to hear the truth?"
"Needless to say? If I wanted to hear lies, I wouldn't have come to you."
"I can't quite tell," said Matchmaker Zhou. "This kid is different from the other boys I've met before. Your family's guard is a young and handsome man, how many people would want to marry him? But from what I see, this Qinglong boy doesn't seem too keen on the idea."
"Could it be that he's pretending?"
"I don't think so," said Matchmaker Zhou. "When you told me this before, I didn't quite believe it. Now I believe it. This marriage is indeed what your family's Shoucheng wants more."
Fang Wu: “…” They’ve already started a hunger strike, is there any need to ask?
But Yu Qinglong really doesn't want to marry into her family? Why?
Fang Wu hadn't come to a conclusion yet. She felt that if it was just about studying medicine, it wouldn't be a big deal. So she decided to accept the Yu family's request if her husband agreed, so that her son wouldn't have to keep messing around and causing her a headache.
Two days later.
Rumors were circulating in Shangxi Village. Someone said they had seen Yu Qinglong and a tall, thin man walking on the road west of the village. They had been together for quite a while, even walking a distance toward the village together.
Someone saw Zhou Jianer and asked her, "Qing's daughter-in-law, do you know who your uncle is seeing?"
Zhou Jianer said, "I know. It's Mr. Fang from the neighboring village. He went to the Mo family to see a doctor for his back injury and forgot to take medicine. Doctor Mo is old, so he asked my son Long to run an errand and bring some medicine. What's the matter?"
When the villagers heard this, they said, "Oh, nothing happened. It turned out to be Mr. Fang. He must be fine then."
Zhou Jianer secretly snorted, she couldn't stand these people. Weren't they just trying to blame her uncle and gossip about him? But they had to say it openly.
When these people heard that the man was Fang Shu, they all thought that there was no possibility that the Fang family had anything to do with her uncle, so they didn't believe that they had any connection.
It’s really annoying to think about it. What’s wrong with her uncle?
Zhou Jian'er was annoyed, and naturally, so were the rest of the family. But whenever someone asked, they would just say it was Fang Shu. As time went on, the rumors faded somewhat.
But this was just what most people thought. Fang Shu and Yu Qinglong were definitely not a couple. Who was Fang Shu? He was a young, talented scholar. Who in the surrounding villages wouldn't envy the Fang family for having such a child? His family would be filled with pride. A family like that couldn't afford any boys or girls, so how could they possibly fall for Yu Qinglong? It was impossible.
No one believed that there was anything between them.
But some people don't think so.
Hu Bo had not dared to appear in front of Yu Qinglong for many days since he was warned by Yu Qinglong last time.
But the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Why? He took advantage of the day when Yu Qingcai was out and pulled Yu Qingcai aside and said, "Brother Cai, do you think what they said was fake? I've seen Yu Qinglong and that scholar Fang together several times. He said he was delivering medicine, but that little bitch must have been trying to seduce Scholar Fang."
Yu Qingcai had heard of Fang Shu, but like the others, he thought he was unattainable and didn't think much of it. But how could Yu Qinglong dare to think about someone he didn't even dare to think about?
"Did you really see them together more than once?"
"How could I lie to you? It's absolutely true. Yu Qinglong usually acts like a rat, afraid of everyone he sees. But now he's different. He's become even bolder. Maybe it's because he's acquainted with Scholar Fang, and he thinks he can marry Scholar Fang and surpass you in the future, so he's become so arrogant. Otherwise, how could he have dared to fight with your brother like that?"
Speaking of his brother, Yu Qingcai recalled the fight. He had indeed never seen Yu Qinglong like that. So, could this really be related to Fang Xiucai?
Hu Bo said, "You must ask your family to find a way to stop this immediately. Otherwise, if he really becomes the husband of a scholar, your whole family will be half a head shorter than him in the future."
Yu Qingcai said, "Even if it's true, what can my family do? Now my grandmother won't let me take care of his affairs. Everything has to be based on my eldest brother's studies."
Hearing about Yu Qingxi, Hu Bo lowered his head and asked, "You...your cousin has come back recently?"
Yu Qingcai said, "No. I came back once last time because of the Li family incident, and I haven't been back since. Maybe I won't be back until the moon is low."
Hu Bo sighed, knowing that the Li family affair hadn't worked out, and he felt annoyed. If it weren't for Yu Qinglong's incident, would he have missed Yu Qingxi's return? He had been counting the days to see Yu Qingxi. Now, it would take several days to see him again.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yu Qinglong was a jinx. Hu Bo said, "Anyway, you should take what I just said to heart. Don't you think that even if a son of your Yu family married into the Fang family, it would be you, not him? You're better looking than him, and you sew better than him. Aren't you more of a match for Mr. Fang than him?"
Yu Qingcai's face flushed when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense."
Hu Bo said, "How could I have said anything nonsense? It was true. I have been pretending to be friendly with him all these years, trying to find out his news. When have I ever said anything false?"
Yu Qingcai said, "That's true."
But thinking about it, he couldn't help but be tempted. After all, who wouldn't like such a handsome and tall man? And so smart. He was also too anxious when he saw his brother being beaten that day. Otherwise, he should have taken a closer look at what Fang Shu looked like outside Doctor Mo's house. It was only later that he heard from others that it was Fang Xiucai.
In the past, he wouldn't have dared to think about this. But now his cousin has become a student, and he's a good student. If he can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, then he will also be the scholar's cousin. It would be a proud thing to tell others about it, and the two families would be considered a good match, right?
Hu Bo saw Yu Qingcai looking lustful and said with a smile, "You also think I'm right, right?"
Yu Qingcai said, "No, don't talk nonsense. I'm going back."
He wanted to go back and ask his brother how the matter of dealing with Yu Qinglong was going. It had been so many days and there was still no progress.
He felt that some of what Hu Bo said was correct. Yu Qinglong must not be allowed to have any relationship with the Fang family, otherwise his family would be in a very low position!
