Chapter 17 Sister, Cui Yun wants you to be her concubine!
Cui Si repeatedly warned Cui Changyou, hoping that he would behave himself in the next few years and not go into the mountains. Only after receiving his repeated assurances did she feel a little relieved.
But it wasn't over yet. She planned to talk to her father later and ask him to arrange some tasks for her uncle who liked to run around every day.
On this day, Jiang Cinian stayed at Cui's guesthouse. Cui Changyou brought a jar of his treasured wine to find him, wanting to have a long chat with him and sleep on the same bed with him.
Cui Si thought of her past life when Cui Changyou died and Jiang Qinian went to pay his respects and drink with him. She couldn't help but smile, "It seems that my uncle and this genius doctor Jiang have a good relationship."
"He is a person who is honest and sincere, patient and gentle, humble, polite and loyal." Old Mrs. Xu is such a shrewd person. She chatted with Jiang Cinian for a long time today and had already found out about 70% of the person.
"A'si, your grandmother asked you, what do you think of him?"
"How is he? Doctor Jiang?"
"Don't call him Divine Doctor Jiang. Something happened in Medicine King Valley, and the court is looking for him. It would be bad if people knew about it." Old Madam Xu briefly explained the story of Medicine King Valley and Master Jiang Cinian. At the end, she reminded her, "Just call him Doctor Jiang, or Mr. Jiang."
Cui Si nodded, and then answered Mrs. Xu's question: "I share the same view as Grandmother."
Old Madam Xu asked her again, "How does he compare to Song Zhi?"
"Song Zhi?" Cui Si frowned. Why were they talking about Song Zhi again?
Cui Si thought of Song Zhi and Jiang Cinian’s previous life.
Song Zhi kept saying that he liked her, and he still missed her even after they got married. Later, she introduced the imperial examination to select officials, and Song Zhi passed the exam based on his ability and entered the court as an official. He also told her that he was willing to divorce his wife and rekindle their previous relationship, even if it meant giving up his official career and staying away from the world.
Song Zhi might have feelings for her, but she looked down on him a little. Why was he still obsessed with his wife after marrying her? Moreover, he could say such words, completely disregarding his wife who had been with him for many years and his children at home.
Sincerity is valuable only when it is used in the right place; it will harm others and yourself if used in the wrong place.
Jiang Cinian, on the other hand, stayed in Xianyang City and never left. Later, he opened a medical clinic here to teach and trained many students with excellent medical skills.
Even when the court later invited him to work in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he refused and stayed in Xianyang City. He adopted several children but never got married.
Occasionally, I would go to pay tribute to my old friend Cui Changyou.
Just as Mrs. Xu said, he is a man of integrity, sincerity, patience, gentleness, modesty, courtesy and loyalty. He lives a simple and comfortable life and has a free and tolerant temperament.
He is a very good person.
"That depends on what we're competing for." Cui Si took a sip of the fish soup and said to Old Lady Xu, "As for future prospects, Mr. Jiang has no ambition, so I'm afraid his life will be like this. As for Song Zhi, if he has the opportunity, his future should be quite good."
"But Mr. Jiang also has his own abilities. He can make a living and live a peaceful life."
"As for character, Song Zhi is not as good as Mr. Jiang."
He always mentioned "Song Zhi" and "Mr. Jiang". He was reluctant to mention the former, but had some admiration and appreciation for the latter.
Mrs. Xu understood what was going on, so she asked her, "So what do you think of Jiang Xiaolang as your husband?"
"Husband?" Cui Si was stunned. Only then did she realize that Old Lady Xu had asked her this with this intention. "Why would Grandma think this way? How could he marry me..."
"If he can't, who can? The King of Northern Yan?"
Cui Si paused, her face stiffening. "Grandmother, why are you mentioning this person again?"
"A'si." Old Madam Xu looked at her seriously. "Ever since I told you yesterday that I would choose a husband for you and get you married soon, you've been a little dazed. Grandmother, are you still thinking about the King of Northern Yan?"
"No." Cui Si denied it.
Is she still thinking about Yan Xingchuan?
What a joke?
Could it be that the suffering and grievances he endured in his previous life were not enough?
"Grandma, I just didn't react for a moment, and I didn't mean to miss him. Besides, I don't know the King of Northern Yan. Since I have already decided not to marry, why would I miss him?"
"Mr. Jiang, as my grandmother mentioned... he would indeed be a good husband."
In her previous life, until her death, Jiang Cinian stayed in Xianyang City and never left, and he never married in his life.
If she really wants to get married, Jiang Cinian would indeed be a good choice if he is willing to marry her.
She doesn't have to snatch someone else's good husband, nor will she be forced to settle for a man with flawed character.
As a noble lady from an aristocratic family, she could not just choose not to get married. Getting married was inevitable. Fortunately, she had the protection of her grandmother and her father had a good status in the family, so she had the possibility to make her own choice.
"But marriage is no joke. My granddaughter just met Mr. Jiang for the first time today, so I don't have any thoughts. Besides, even if I'm willing to marry, Mr. Jiang might not be willing to marry me, right?"
"That's right." Old Madam Xu nodded. "This matter is indeed a little urgent, but there are reasons for it, and it really can't be delayed. Okay, I'll ask your uncle to ask his opinion."
Is this going to be decided now?
Cui Si nearly choked on her own saliva: "Grandmother, how can you be so sure that Mr. Jiang is a good person?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "My dear grandson, didn't you just say that? You and I, as grandparents, think alike..."
Cui Si was in a daze and later she couldn't remember how she returned to Qingwuyuan where she lived.
The sky was a little hazy in the evening, and just as she walked to the corridor, a drizzle of spring rain began to fall.
She looked back and saw the spring breeze bringing rain. The wind was gentle and the rain was slanting. The tall sycamore tree in the yard stretched out its branches in the spring breeze and rain.
The wind blew a piece of green and tender sycamore leaf over. She reached out to catch it, and her palm was wet by the rain water on the leaf.
"Well..."
That's all.
Since she no longer wants to retrace the path of her previous life and doesn't want to marry Yan Xingchuan again, it's not impossible for her to marry Jiang Cinian. At least, she will stay in Xianyang City and be with her grandmother for the rest of her life.
Cui Si loosened her hand, and the sycamore leaves in her hand fell to the ground. Then she turned and walked inside.
"Sister! Sister!"
Cui Si had just taken a few steps when she heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw a little girl in a pink dress running towards her in the rain. Her palm-sized face looked panicked.
"Sister! Sister!"
"What's wrong with you?" The person who came was none other than her cousin Cui Hao.
"Who bullied you?"
"No one bullied me, sister. I...I just heard from Cui Yun that yesterday evening, Madam sent someone to Pingzhou City to deliver the invitation card for the daughter of the Cui family, who was to marry the Prince of Northern Yan."
"Sister, you are here. Cui Yun wants you to be her concubine!"
