Just after the planting was completed, Wu Zhi arrived and her eyes lit up when she saw the two wild ginseng trees.
Xu Jiang quickly asked Yin Yin to take it away and hide it.
The three women gathered together, and with the little girl Yinyin, the place suddenly became lively.
Xu Jiang asked Liang Mo to look after the shop. Then, several people set up the two-dimensional couch in the courtyard, set up the stove, and cooked a pot of wild mushroom soup. They also stewed some chestnuts, wild potatoes, and Chinese yams, and washed them down with a jar of rouge wine, and sat together to welcome the winter.
Wu Zhi squatted in front of the stove. After hearing about Song Qiao's story, he looked up and looked her up and down. "Are you Madam Lu's unfortunate daughter?"
Song Qiao looked at her in surprise.
Wu Zhi poured out the hot yam in her hand and said, "I went to the Lu family for consultation and heard about your case."
Song Qiao gave a wry smile.
Wu Zhi peeled off the wild yam skin and saw Yin Yin staring at it intently, so he handed it to her and said to Song Qiao, "The Lu family has not been very peaceful recently."
Song Qiao said calmly: "That's their own business, it has nothing to do with me."
Wu Zhi picked a few chestnuts from the stove and said, "I thought you'd feel better after hearing this."
Song Qiao shook his head, neither happy nor sad.
Xu Jiang lifted the lid of the pot, blew a breath of divine air towards Wu Zhi, and urged, "Oh, my great doctor, please tell me quickly and stop keeping me in suspense."
Wu Zhi was overwhelmed by the aroma and swallowed her saliva. "That Wei San couldn't get a concubine and felt embarrassed, so he asked the Lu family to compensate him with a young lady. Lu Yu agreed."
It turned out to be because of this matter. Xu Jiang rolled his eyes and thought: That big cat is really good at judging.
Song Qiao asked, "Did Madam Lu agree?"
"What does it matter if she agrees or not? She has no say in the matter anyway." Wu Zhi threw a chestnut into her mouth and said incoherently, "Right now, it's a duel between the Madam and the rebellious son. Both sides are trying to manipulate her. She's no better than a rat in a bellows."
Xu Jiang glanced at Song Qiao and asked, "So, which of these two has a better chance of winning?"
"Needless to say? This Madam Tai is old after all, and she doesn't manage the household anymore. No matter how tough she is, she can't prevail against the real head of the household. She's on a hunger strike right now, so Lu Yu asked Madam Lu to kneel and beg. Madam Lu will kneel as long as the Madam Tai's hunger strike ends."
"Are you really on a hunger strike?"
"I'll go on a hunger strike, but I won't stop taking medicine. With my magical pills, I can hold on for seven or eight days."
She said Wu Zhi wouldn't sit idly by. Xu Jiang asked, "So, what day is this?"
"Three days."
"Mrs. Lu has been kneeling for three days?"
Wu Zhi nodded.
Xu Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
Song Qiao held the wine glass in silence.
Wu Zhi said, "But I guess the Madam will relent tomorrow."
Song Qiao and Xu Jiang both looked at her curiously.
Xu Jiang asked, "Why?"
Wu Zhi said, "Although the Madam Tai dislikes Madam Lu, she is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. It would be unacceptable to watch her kneel and die."
On the other side, she watched helplessly as her husband sold her beloved youngest daughter, and was forced to help persuade the Taifu. Here, the Taifu couldn't confront her son directly, as she would surely take her anger out on herself. Add to that the suffering she was experiencing, and Mrs. Lu's days must have been incredibly difficult.
Xu Jiang glanced at Song Qiao's expression and couldn't help but sigh. Then she said to Wu Zhi, "Azhi, when you go to the Lu family tomorrow, please give a message to the lady."
"What?"
"Miss Lu can't marry into the Wei family."
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhi and Song Qiao were both surprised.
Wu Zhi finally asked, "How do you know I can't get married?"
This matter was not easy to conceal, and sooner or later it would be revealed. Xu Jiang offered Song Qiao a glass of wine as compensation and said, "Now that I have finished speaking, you must not be angry."
Song Qiao raised his glass and clinked it with hers.
Xu Jiang then informed Lou Yunchun and Wei Yinuo of their plan, concluding by saying, "Zhaoyue is doing this to completely free you from the entanglement of Madam Lu and the Lu family, and to prevent the Lu family from committing even greater acts of treason and causing you to be implicated because of Madam Lu."
Xu Jiang sighed, "After all, you are blood relatives."
Wu Zhiyou said, "It shows that in this world, blood relatives are not necessarily close relatives, but rather grievances that only bring people trouble and pain that cannot be shaken off."
Xu Jiang and Wu Zhi deeply shared the same feeling.
Xu Jiang said to Song Qiao, "Zhaoyue and I hid this from you and Zhuchun because we were afraid of alerting them. We also wanted Zhuchun to see my true feelings as soon as possible and cherish the person in front of me. I hope you won't blame me."
"You guys have helped me so much, I can't thank you enough, how could I blame you?" Song Qiao's face lit up when he mentioned Hu Xu. "Besides, if it weren't for you, he and I wouldn't be where we are today."
"I'm glad you don't mind us meddling." Xu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, then blinked and asked, "I heard that Zhu Chun proposed to your family?"
Song Qiao nodded, his face slightly red.
Xu Jiang hurriedly filled her and Wu Zhi's glasses with wine. "Oh, this is a happy event. Come, let's celebrate."
The three of them drank together.
Xu Jiang said to Wu Zhi, "Just tell the Madam about this matter. Don't say anything else, or it will cause you trouble."
Wu Zhi held up her chin and snorted, "I don't bother to meddle in unnecessary matters."
Xu Jiang and Song Qiao looked at the dust on her face and couldn't help laughing.
Wu Zhi wiped it with her sleeve, but the more she wiped, the more bloomed it became.
Xu Jiang wet a handkerchief and handed it to her. "Have you heard anything from the medical department?"
"No." Wu Zhi wiped his face clean. "It's still just one word: delay."
As everyone expected, it was not easy for Wu Zhi to enter the medical department.
Not to mention her identity as a woman, just the fact that she had just arrived, had no family background and no reputation, the Medical Department would not rashly recruit her as a medical officer.
Later, it was Doctor Chen who gave the advice.
Let her register as a disciple of Qianjintang first, and then submit dozens of pulse cases to the Medical Bureau after she has completed them. Then she will have a 50% chance of success.
