Chapter 593: Compiling a Medical Book



Aunt Xing also laughed so hard that she couldn't stop, and then hurriedly said something.

"Since Zhao'er is back, I must hurry up and send the invitation. Your marriage will be scheduled for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The master said it is a very auspicious day."

The eighth day of the winter month, which is three days later.

It was a bit rushed, but since everything was ready, it was naturally no big deal.

There was another reason, that was that the marriages of the four princes were all scheduled for the middle of the twelfth lunar month. If Xing Zhao got married on a date close to theirs, it would give outsiders the opportunity to gossip.

Mr. Xing Sanye has already taken up the post of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. The Xing family is already very prominent. If he were to marry his children off to be comparable to the princes, wouldn't that be looking for trouble?

"Everything is up to mother."

"Listen to my aunt."

It was a rare occasion for Mrs. Xing to see her son so well-behaved. She glanced at her future daughter-in-law again and felt that it was this daughter-in-law who made her son feel at ease. So the more she looked at Xia Meng's expression, the happier she became.

"Now that you're back, let's go to the new house. We're getting married in two days, so you two can't meet at the moment."

Aunt Xing said as a reminder.

Du Jingyi had the same idea, so he stepped forward and made some arrangements.

"Xia Meng has accepted my parents as her godparents, so my cousin Zhao will go to the Du family to pick her up. Later today, Xia Meng will go to the Du family. My parents have prepared everything and are just waiting to send her off to marry."

It was a rare happy event, so everyone was happy. Xia Meng listened calmly to everyone's discussion about her and Xing Zhao's marriage, not feeling embarrassed at all.

Before Xing Zhaoze was "driven away" by Aunt Xing, he had a chance to talk to Xia Meng, so he didn't waste any words and just came up and spoke to her.

"You can keep the things in the box I gave you before I left. Now I have become a deputy general in the army, and my salary is not low. It is not a problem to support you. But I don't know what your next plan is. Do you want to continue to travel around? Or do you want to do something in Sui'an City?"

Everyone assumed that after getting married she would stay at home and be the young lady of the Xing family, but only Xing Zhao asked her this, so Xia Meng was happy and said after thinking about it.

"I don't know much, just medical skills. But it's not realistic for me to open a clinic and save people. I thought if I have the chance, I should compile a medical book. Before this, I visited various places and saw the medical skills of many local doctors. If I can integrate them together, it can be regarded as leaving some blessings for this place."

While compiling the medical book, Xing Zhao looked at his future wife and felt that he was out of her league. But since she had asked, he would definitely do his best.

So, he nodded and said.

"This is not difficult. Wait for me to go and see the new house, expand the study, and find you more medical books. Oh, and by the way, do you need literate maids? I can find some for you as well."

"My aunt has arranged all these for me, so don't worry."

"Mother?"

Xing Zhao had never thought that his mother would actually arrange these things. Did that mean she agreed? The Xing family couldn't just ignore the social etiquette of dealing with the outside world. He thought his mother would want Xia Meng to learn these housekeeping socializing things from him after getting married.

Seeing Xing Zhao's expression, Xia Meng found it a little funny.

"I know what you want to say. I didn't like interacting with people before because I didn't think I would stay here for long. So I would feel more comfortable when I left without being tied down by human relationships. But now it's different. Since I'm going to marry you and stay in Sui'an City, I won't push all my worries onto my aunt."

After hearing this, Xing Zhao became much more cheerful.

In the end, thousands of words turned into one sentence.

"Thanks."

Xia Meng raised her eyebrows and looked at him, then stopped talking, but her mouth and eyes showed happiness.

Three days is neither long nor short.

With Aunt Xing's postings everywhere, many families who had been looking forward to seeing how Xing Zhao's marriage would turn out were naturally curious.

On this day, early in the morning, firecrackers were set off in the new house of the Xing family and the Du family, and gongs and drums were beating loudly. The whole place was filled with joy.

Bright red silk flowers were hung everywhere, and the maids, old women, housekeepers, and servants who came in and out all had smiles on their faces. They specially cleared a yard for Xia Meng, and the Du couple also said that this yard would be reserved for her forever, and if she wanted to come home and sit for a while, she could just come back directly.

Xia Meng was extremely grateful but she was not one who was good at sweet talk, so she could only kowtow to the two elders earnestly and offer them tea. Finally, she was surrounded by everyone and taken away by Xing Zhao, who had come to marry her.

Watching them leave, Mr. Du and Mrs. Du couldn't help but have tears in their eyes, and they even shed tears when they were so excited.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Du Jingxiang said as he comforted his mother.

"Don't be sad, mother. This is a great thing. When Sanchao returns home, we will be able to see Sanmei again."

"Yes, I am happy in my heart, but I can't help crying just thinking about it. I felt the same way when you two sisters got married."

Thinking of this, Du Jingxiang couldn't help but recall what happened more than ten years ago, and the happy event in front of her gradually overlapped with the memories of her wedding at that time, and a happy smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

On the street, the wedding procession was beating drums and gongs, and it was very lively.

There were also some servants in the back who were responsible for scattering wedding money, so there was a long line of people following along saying congratulations, and it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

"This year is really a prosperous year. There are many happy events coming up at the end of the year. We are lucky to have such a feast."

"The Xing family's wedding is so lively, not to mention the princes' weddings next month. I wonder how crowded the streets will be?"

The common people talked and laughed that one of the great things about living in Sui'an City was that they could always witness the weddings and funerals of the royal relatives and the powerful and aristocratic families, which was really an eye-opener.

After passing several main streets, the Xing family's wedding procession arrived at the door of the new house.

The new house was not far from the general's residence and had been carefully renovated for more than half a year. In preparation for the wedding, a lot of plants that could still spread green in winter were selected and planted, and they were carefully cared for.

So as soon as you enter the door, you can see the vibrant green and the festive red.

It was the first time for these outsiders to visit the Xing family. After all, the Xing family had not had time to hold a house-warming party before the invitation for Xing Zhao’s marriage was sent to every household. So naturally they wanted to come and see the new house as well as the new people.
