Chapter 621 Time Flies
“That’s it!”
Lian Yi took advantage of her young age and sat directly on the chair below Duan Zongqing and continued:
"Father, as for taking him around, forget it! I'm sick and have to take extra classes recently. Please arrange for someone else!"
"I understand, but you still have to pretend and invite him twice. After he invites you back twice, you can find an excuse to refuse."
Duan Zongqing instructed while holding the teacup in his hand.
"Yes, father."
Lianyi didn't object. She yawned and went back to rest.
After Lianyi left, Duan Zongqing shook his head, feeling that his daughter still had the mentality of a child.
"Master, the young lady is a child. She is only fourteen years old, but she is very clear-headed. She said that Zhang Xuetao was false to her, and it must be false."
Chunxiao said while touching the white Bodhi bracelet on her wrist.
"Yes! We sisters looked at the Zhang family boy through the screen. Although he looked very polite, he was an adult after all. How could he be interested in a child like the young lady? He probably wanted to establish a relationship with the Marshal's Mansion, so he acted like he liked the young lady."
Xia Xin said while spinning the plain silk fan in her hand.
"Master, do you want to marry into the Zhang family?"
Qiu Chan revealed Duan Zongqing's thoughts in one sentence.
"I have this idea. Their Zhang family is entrenched in the north, and our Duan family is in the south. The world is in chaos now. If our two forces join forces, it should be able to stabilize the situation."
Duan Zongqing didn't think that his aunts were useless. As long as it wasn't about war and wasn't related to marriage, he didn't mind discussing it with them. They understood his daughter's mind best and helped him raise her well.
"When the situation stabilizes, the two families will definitely compete for first and second place. The young lady is a woman. If she marries into the Zhang family, the entire Duan family army will be her dowry. In order to prevent the Zhang family from abandoning us, we must be cautious."
Chun Xiao also frowned and said.
"Master, sisters, why are you so anxious? Even if the young lady wants to get married, it won't be in the next one or two years. We can cast a wide net and select a few more young talents as a reserve.
On the contrary, I think it would be better to find a family with less power than the Duan family, so that after the young lady marries in, no one dares to bully her. Or, it would be better to find a loyal one among the master's subordinates and directly recruit him as a son-in-law. "
Dong Qing said while supporting his head.
"Haha, Dong Qing is right. Why should I, Duan Zongqing's daughter, marry someone else? Taking in a son-in-law is also a good idea."
Duan Zongqing put down the teacup and said with a smile.
Zhang Xuetao didn't know yet that he had completely lost his advantage because of Lian Yi's "I don't like it". After returning to his residence, he was also thinking about whether there was anything he had missed during his visit to Marshal Duan's mansion today.
The only thing that made him feel unsure was Marshal Duan's daughter. Although she was young, she was well-educated and was said to be attending a girls' school. This made him lose another opportunity to enhance the relationship between the two.
Although he came to the South to study, he actually came here to establish a relationship with the Duan family. The most important thing was to make Duan Lianyi fall in love with him and promote a marriage between the two families. This was his mission here.
However, it was inevitable that they felt a little strange after only meeting once. After meeting a few more times, feelings gradually developed and he was very confident in himself.
At the same time, Yun Siyu, who had studied the era she lived in thoroughly, felt both happy and sad. She was happy that she had the opportunity to witness history, but sad that she was just a poor woman who had just escaped the fate of a child bride. If she wanted to live a decent life, she would have to work a hundred or a thousand times harder.
After expressing her feelings, Yun Siyu took the money and went to see a Chinese doctor. When it came to regulating her body, she believed more in Chinese medicine.
The old Chinese doctor with a goatee felt Yun Siyu's pulse for a long time before shaking his head and saying:
"Your health is seriously damaged. If you want to get well, you can't just take one or two doses of medicine."
"Doctor, I know my body. I worked very hard to help my family pay off their debts. So now that I have saved some money, I came to take care of my body. I don't want to delay it for too long.
The doctor is obviously a good doctor who saves lives. Just prescribe the medicine for me. I will work to save money while taking the medicine. I should be able to afford the medicine if I don’t do too much heavy work.”
Yun Siyu knew that wealth should not be shown off, so she showed that she had money, but not much. However, she was able to earn money while working and could afford the medical expenses, so she asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.
"Okay! Since you are from a poor family, I won't prescribe you any expensive medicine. You can take it for ten days first, and then come back for a follow-up visit. I will adjust the prescription for you."
The old doctor was quite capable. After writing the prescription, he asked Yun Siyu to get the medicine.
"Remember not to do heavy work and eat well, otherwise no matter how much medicine you take, it will be useless."
Finally, the old doctor reminded.
"Thank you for your reminder. I'll make a note of it."
After carrying two piles of Chinese medicine, Yun Siyu bought a pot for boiling medicine and returned to the hotel. She was seen by the young boss.
"My dear guest, do you want to make medicine?"
"Yes! My aunt hasn't been found yet, and I just happened to be feeling unwell, so I went to see a doctor first, and the doctor prescribed a bunch of medicine."
"But this is a small shop. It can only be used for living. There can't be open flames. Besides, the smell of boiled Chinese medicine is too strong."
Yun Siyu thought about it and said directly:
"Okay, I'll rent a house where I can make medicine."
"Don't worry, guest. I don't mean to drive you away. My small hotel has a backyard and a separate kitchen. I can cook and make medicine. You just need to pay more."
The boss is very good at doing business and said immediately.
"Okay, take me to see it."
Yun Siyu decided to take a look before making a decision. After all, she would not be able to go out to find a job until her health recovered. Everything would have to wait until she recovered.
Yun Siyu was anxious to take care of her health, while Zhang Xuetao was trying to cultivate feelings with Lianyi, but the effect was minimal, as the other party simply changed her way of addressing him and called him Brother Xuetao.
Perhaps it was because of her preconceived notions, but every time Lianyi met Zhang Xuetao, she could not muster the energy. It was like completing a task. She would have a meal, listen to some music, stroll through a garden, or watch a movie. After dealing with Zhang Xuetao, she would go back and report everything to Duan Zongqing.
Two years passed quickly, and Lianyi had grown into a graceful young girl, beautiful, confident, and very opinionated.
The most important thing is that she is not a delicate lady. She has learned how to shoot, ride a horse, and fight. Moreover, because of her great strength, Duan Zongqing is very satisfied with her.
"Lianyi, you have inherited the blood of the strongman from your Duan family ancestors! Your great-great-great-grandfather was a well-known strongman and was once the champion of martial arts. Your father is also very strong, otherwise he would not have been able to build up such a strong force. I didn't expect that you would be better than your father. You are worthy of being my daughter!"
"If my father is happy, I am happy too! I thought you didn't like my strength?"
Ripple said with a smile.
"How could that be! You are capable enough, and you are safer than any number of people I arrange around you!"
