"Grandma, you're worrying too much." Yu Qizhe said lightly.
He stretched out his hand to Yu Jiao, helped her into the carriage, and walked out of the yard, leading the horse.
Seeing that the two were particularly close, Yu Zhou's face darkened and she turned and went into the house. Seeing Yu Ruhai flipping through a medical book in the west room, she walked in with a cup of hot tea and placed it on the table.
"Master..." she called softly.
Yu Ruhai didn't look up, still looking at the medical skills in his hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ever since Master Liu and Master Gu moved in to live in our house, I've had some things in my heart, and I don't know whether I should tell the master." Yu Zhou sighed.
Yu Ruhai put down the medical skills in his hand, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "What can't be said between you and me?"
Yu Zhou came up behind him, helped Yu Ruhai hold his shoulders, and said, "Meng girl is about to reach marriage age. I know the master is reluctant to give up her excellent medical skills, but he recognized her as the second wife's wife that day. In the future, no one can guarantee that someone will come to propose marriage. Girls will get married sooner or later."
Yu Zhou paused and continued, "A few days ago, I saw that Miss Meng and Mr. Gu were getting close. Master, have you ever thought about what we should do if someone came to ask to marry Miss Meng?"
Yu Ruhai frowned, a dark light flashed in his old eyes, "I should have let her marry the fifth brother directly that day. I miscalculated, but it doesn't matter, she is still young, if someone comes to propose marriage, we just need to delay it. After a few years, when she becomes an old maid, no one will come to propose marriage to her."
"I do have an idea." Yu Zhou whispered, "My nephew Hai Ge'er from my mother's family has not yet married. Although he is a little older, he has always been honest. If Meng girl is engaged to him, we just need to make it clear about the medical fee, and he will definitely agree."
Yu Zhou's nephew from her mother's side is a little bit stupid. He is already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but has not yet married.
Yu Zhou secretly thought about her family. Yu Jiao had such excellent medical skills. If she really married Hai Ge'er, with her seeing patients outside, her family would have a better life.
Upon hearing this, Yu Ruhai expressed disapproval, "How could Yu Jiao like your nephew? She hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. Let's wait a few years before deciding."
Hearing that Yu Ruhai looked down on her nephew from her mother's side, Yu Zhou paused. Although she was unhappy, she didn't say anything else.
After a while, he mentioned again, "The eldest wife has arranged a marriage for Zhizhou, so we should also pay attention to the marriages of Jinshu and Jinyan. It is unreasonable for the younger brother to marry before the elder brother does."
Zhang told Yu Ruhai about the marriage for Yu Zhizhou. Since the couple had already chosen one, Yu Ruhai didn't want to worry too much. He said, "The eldest couple wanted to arrange a marriage for Zhizhou first, and let them postpone the wedding date. After the results of the autumn examination are announced, they will ask Mrs. Wang to come to the house and look for two good girls for Jinshu and Jinyan."
"It's good that the master has a plan in mind. Fifth brother's health is getting better and better, so why not arrange a marriage for him?" Yu Zhou said meaningfully, "I see that he and Meng girl are close, but after all, they are not siblings. It would be better to get them engaged earlier to avoid rumors in the future."
Yu Ruhai nodded and said worriedly, "There is not much money left in the family now. If all the brothers get engaged, I am afraid that we will not be able to raise enough betrothal gifts."
"We should find a reason to take the silver from Meng girl. She is a little girl who has hidden so much private money. Who knows who she will give it to in the future." Yu Zhou urged, "I saw her return to Meng Village today with a big bag. After all, she is not a member of our Yu family. I am afraid she will not be able to be accustomed to her. This time when she came back from Qingzhou, the second son's wife got a silver hairpin, but she didn't think of giving it to us at all."
Yu Ruhai glanced outside the house, "Are the second son and his wife in the house? Find a chance to search the girl's private money. I estimate that she must have saved at least two hundred taels of silver. She is now supported by our family, and her private money should be used to honor us."
When Yu Zhou heard him say that, she smiled and said, "Master is right. I will send the second son to the fields to deliver food later."
Because the road was muddy, Yu Qizhe drove slowly. The journey that usually took him half an hour took him nearly an hour.
There were also many villagers busy working in the fields at the entrance of Mengjia Village. After Yu Qizhe drove into the village, he stopped in front of Liu Sanniang's house.
After helping Yu Jiao get off the carriage, he went to knock on the gate.
Some villagers were very curious. Just a few days ago, two noblemen went to Liu Sanniang's house. Today, as soon as the rain stopped, someone came to the house again in a carriage.
After recognizing that the woman knocking on the door was the eldest girl of Meng Qingshan's family, the villagers were a little surprised. Wasn't this eldest girl of Meng Qingshan's family sold to someone for a happy marriage? Why did she look like she was living a good life now?
Liu Sanniang poked her head out from the crack of the door. Seeing that it was Yu Jiao, her expression relaxed a little. She opened the courtyard door, glanced at Yu Qizhe, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe entered the yard and saw that another corner of the mottled wall had collapsed. She said, "A few days ago, my fifth brother and I went to Qingzhou and brought some things for you and Fei."
As soon as the voice fell, Fei Ge'er ran out of the house, threw himself into Yu Jiao's arms, raised his little face, and smiled happily, "Sister, you are here!"
