"Yes, sir." Qiu Hanyan stood up and bowed, and Guo Youcai gestured for him to sit down and talk.
Qiu Hanyan sat down again, and Guo Youcai asked, "Which master did you become my disciple?"
"It's under the name of the headmaster."
"As expected." Guo Youcai laughed and then told him some of the headmaster's shortcomings and strengths.
"He was an excellent scholar and once served as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College."
"Seven years ago, he resigned from his official position and returned to his hometown to set up this county school. He has already produced two top scholars in the imperial examination."
"He has an only daughter whom he dotes on very much. She is fifteen this year. I guess the old man is planning to take you as his son-in-law."
When Qiu Hanyan heard this, his brows furrowed. He had no plans to get married for the time being.
Seeing how distressed he looked, Guo Youcai couldn't help but smile and console him, saying, "Although he intends to choose one of his students as his son-in-law, he may not necessarily choose you."
"That's true." Qiu Hanyan nodded, but he didn't think he was that outstanding.
But he had already made up his mind to hide his shortcomings as much as possible.
As he was speaking, a beautiful woman came in with her maid.
Guo Youcai stood up and introduced Qiu Yinong and the others: "This is my wife, Shen Zhujun."
"Madam, this is the girl Yinong from the Qiu family I told you about. This is her third brother Han Yan, that is her fifth brother Han Chi, and this is her cousin Hong Yun."
"Welcome to my home. My dear, this girl is so pretty."
"The soap you asked your Uncle Guo to bring back last time was very good to me. At that time, I was thinking, what kind of delicate girl must be able to make such a good thing."
"After seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed a lovely girl."
Qiu Yinong looked at the joy and smile in Shen Zhujun's eyes, and her face was also filled with a sweet smile.
"As long as Auntie likes it."
"If my child were still alive, she would be twelve years old now and would definitely be a lovely girl."
Shen Zhujun looked at Qiu Yinong, her eyes slightly red.
He gently held Qiu Yinong's hand. Qiu Yinong was stunned for a moment and then looked at Guo Youcai.
Guo Youcai looked at his wife distressedly: "Madam, are you still unable to let go?"
"No, my husband, I just saw Yinong's joy and couldn't help but express my feelings."
"My life is enough. I have no children, but you still treat me the same as before and have never taken a concubine."
"I'm not satisfied with anything. I just feel sorry for you and that I couldn't leave you with a child."
Qiu Yinong finally understood that Chen Zhujun had a child when she was young, but the child was later lost.
She no longer has any hope of having children.
"Can I ask why my aunt can't have another child?" Qiu Yinong asked cautiously.
Guo Youcai glanced at his beloved wife, and when he saw her nod, he spoke.
"When I was the top scorer in the imperial examination, I was favored by a daughter of a high-ranking official. She wanted to force me to divorce my wife and marry her."
"Your aunt and I grew up together. Both our families are merchants. Although we don't have much wealth, we live a prosperous life."
"I passed the imperial examination, and your aunt is pregnant. It should have been a happy occasion for everyone."
"But the senior official felt that I had insulted them and assigned me to a remote county as an official."
"He even bribed the post station attendant to give your aunt sterilization drugs before she left."
"It was already difficult for your aunt to go to work with me while she was seven months pregnant, but they still treated her so cruelly."
"The child was lost. She was a lovely girl." As he spoke, Guo Youcai shed tears.
Shen Zhujun also couldn't stop crying. Guo Youcai took a deep breath and said, "Your aunt almost died. She was finally saved, but she also lost the chance to be your mother."
"Uncle Guo is a good official and an even better husband."
In this era, his wife has no children, but he can do this. How can people not look at him differently?
Chen Zhujun also looked at Guo Youcai with admiration, and Guo Youcai felt a little embarrassed.
"Since it was just caused by the drug, it's not a problem." Qiu Yinong suddenly spoke.
Guo Youcai and Shen Zhujun looked at Qiu Yinong at the same time. Qiu Yinong smiled and took out her acupuncture kit: "I am the inheritor of Taiyi Thirteen Needles."
"The Thirteen Needles of Taiyi, is that the legendary lost acupuncture technique?" Guo Youcai's eyes instantly lit up, and Chen Zhujun also looked at Qiu Yinong.
The old doctor also said at the time that if the successor of Taiyi Thirteen Needles could be found, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
Twelve years have passed, and Guo Youcai has been searching for it, but has not found anything so far.
Unexpectedly, God sent the successor of Taiyi Thirteen Needles to them.
"Yes." Qiu Yinong nodded with a smile.
Guo Youcai walked up to Qiu Yinong and bowed excitedly: "Yi'er, please accept my greeting."
"Uncle Guo, you're being too formal. Didn't you say you wanted to treat me as your own niece?"
"So, I just gave Aunt a few injections, why is there such a big gift?"
Qiu Yinong supported Guo Youcai, who was immediately delighted when he heard this: "Okay, okay, it's a blessing for your aunt and me to have a niece like Yi'er."
"I feel uncomfortable again after the acupuncture. Let's talk about it after dinner." Qiu Yinong asked Chen Zhujun what she meant.
Chen Zhujun had been waiting for so many years, and there was originally no chance anymore.
Now that hope is right in front of her, there is no need to rush. Besides, it is for her own good to have the child.
The Guo couple happily entertained the Qiu brothers and sisters. After dinner, Qiu Yinong followed Shen Zhujun to the backyard.
The Qiu Hanyan brothers and Chu Hongyun stayed in the front hall to talk with Guo Youcai, while Niu Shanda and the other stayed in the courtyard to tidy up the yard. If nothing unexpected happened, people would be able to move in tonight.
"Auntie, after the acupuncture, your period will come early. Let Sister Luyi prepare a menstrual belt for you."
When Lu Yi heard what Qiu Yinong said, she hurried to prepare things.
Qiu Yinong asked Chen Zhujun to lie on the bed wearing only her bellyband and underwear. She first took Chen Zhujun's pulse and found the crux of the problem.
I fed her a detoxification pill and found a pill called Warming the Uterus in the female pill area.
After checking the effects, he gave it to Shen Zhujun with confidence.
Then he used the Taiyi Thirteen Needles to assist her internal strength and clear the coldness accumulated in her lower abdomen.
A quarter of an hour later, when the needle was removed, Shen Zhujun felt a warmth in her lower abdomen, a feeling she hadn't had for a long time.
Then, a hot stream gushed out, and she really had her period.
Over the years, my period has come and gone, and it is very painful every time it comes.
"Sister Luyi, please help aunt deal with it quickly." Qiu Yinong said to Luyi.
Luyi hurried forward and carefully supported Chen Zhujun.
Another maid, Caiyu, brought over new sheets. Qiu Yinong offered to help, but Caiyu quickly said, "Miss Yinong, please take a rest. I can't let you do this."
