Chapter 560 Don’t mess around
"I was talking to An Yan while she was making medicine. I was drinking tea, eating melon seeds and snacks on the side." Mei Die answered him with a smile.
"So you like doing this. I will specially ask two people to come and accompany you to eat melon seeds and snacks in the future, so that you won't have nothing to do and get bored." Bei Feng said this with an appearance of trying to please her.
"Then arrange some things for me to do. I have hands and feet and can support myself. It would be torture to have nothing to do all day long." Meidie said.
"The servants are doing it. You don't need to do anything." Beifeng said to her with a smile and pinched her nose.
An Yan was also very happy to see Bei Feng treat her like this.
The food had already been placed on the table, and Yan Qingqiu finally arrived. He walked with a limp, as if he had injured his foot.
"What's going on? What happened to you?" Li Rongsen asked him, while standing up to help him.
"The luck is not good, the fate is not compatible, I told you that place is not where I should go." Yan Qingqiu looked very sad.
"Speak nicely and tell us what happened." An Yan signaled the servants to bring the meal.
Yan Qingqiu frowned and said, "I went there to do things, and it was going well at first. Then someone reminded me to give a speech. I originally declined because I always like to keep a low profile, but I couldn't resist their instigation."
"What do you mean by instigation? You have lost yourself in what they said." Li Rongsen said.
"That's not true. They said they wanted to speak out for the sake of West City's reputation. I thought so, so I asked them to build a platform and I went up to speak. But then I didn't expect the platform to be trampled by those women." Yan Qingqiu sighed, pointed at his leg, and said, "It was crushed like this."
"What woman?" An Yan asked.
"I don't know either. Maybe they are women who like me. Otherwise, why would they rush up to me?" Yan Qingqiu thought.
Li Rongsen didn't think this was false. After all, Yan Qingqiu was very pretty. He asked, "Who built this stage? It's so flimsy."
"That's true. There were only two women rushing up, and I was a man, and they were able to bring the stage down. They're really incompetent." Yan Qingqiu frowned and scolded, "This is shoddy construction, and we must crack down on it!"
Meidie burst out laughing, prompting Yan Qingqiu to ask her, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's a good thing you went. If it was Mr. Li, he would have been buried in there and we wouldn't have been able to have dinner." Meidie smiled.
Yan Qingqiu pondered for a moment, took another mouthful of rice, and then said, "Why do I feel like this is a mockery of me, like I'm not charming enough?"
"I didn't say that." Meidie said.
"Alas, if Li Rongsen hadn't appeared, I would be the most handsome man in the world, and those women would be here to bury me." Yan Qingqiu snorted heavily.
"I don't care about this reputation. If you want it, take it." Li Rongsen immediately responded.
"Look at you, you took advantage of them and still acted like a good boy. Now even if you want to give it to me, they won't recognize it." Yan Qingqiu felt a little unwilling. He thought that he was the object of admiration by everyone in the past, but ended up being surpassed by Li Rongsen and could only rank second.
No one will remember being the runner-up for eternity.
"What's the big deal? He's already taken, and you're still single. I can only bury you." Mei Die smiled and joked with Yan Qingqiu.
Yan Qingqiu snorted softly and said, "I'm single, so it's not their turn to think about me. I don't love anyone."
Meidie didn't take this seriously and said, "Then let's take a look."
"Can't you just open a bottle of medicine and apply it right away, so you don't have to limp here like this." An Yan said to him.
"There's no medicine over there. Let's treat it after dinner." Yan Qingqiu said as he ate the food in big mouthfuls.
"I have some medicine. I'll give it to you after dinner."
"There's not even a decent clinic there, let alone any medicine." Yan Qingqiu told An Yan what he saw.
An Yan frowned and said, "This isn't a good idea. A clinic is essential. Everyone has a headache or a fever. How did they treat illnesses in the past?"
"It will be over if you can endure it. Those who can't will be buried." Yan Qingqiu said.
Li Rongsen said, "I'll take care of this. This is too much. If you're sick, you need to get treatment."
"In my opinion, we should ask them if there are any people who are willing to be doctors, pick out a few and teach them, that's all," said An Yan.
"That's a good idea." Li Rongsen nodded and asked, "But who should we let teach?"
An Yan looked towards Yan Qingqiu and said, "Of course, let him teach. He has more than enough skills."
"Oh, I'm so miserable. I have to work even though I'm seriously injured. Can you bosses be more considerate of your subordinates?" Yan Qingqiu pretended to be very aggrieved.
Bei Feng said: "It's mainly because you are too outstanding, otherwise An Yan and the others wouldn't have called you."
Yan Qingqiu became excited when he heard this and said, "Of course I'm very good. I used to be the first one in line."
Li Rongsen and An Yan looked at each other and then chuckled.
At this time, the old man came over and said, "My Lord, the day has come."
"When?" Li Rongsen asked him hurriedly. He had been nervous about this matter and didn't know when the divination would come out. He hoped it wouldn't be too far away.
"It will take half a year." The old man said with some embarrassment.
"That won't do. It's too long." Li Rongsen was the first to be unhappy. He wouldn't allow anyone to wait for more than half a year.
The old man was helpless, after all, it was a divination, not something he calculated himself.
An Yan also felt that half a year was too long, but this was the rule in Xicheng.
Yan Qingqiu naturally understood them and said to the old man, "Is there any way to recalculate?"
"It's not impossible to recalculate, but the city lord or the city slaves must bathe, burn incense, and kowtow 108 times before they can choose a new date," said the old man.
"Then I'll do it. I'll kowtow." Li Rongsen quickly interrupted.
An Yan said, "How about we each take half?"
"How can this be done? It seems not possible. There is no such saying that two people can kowtow together." The old man frowned and said.
Li Rongsen said to An Yan, "This is not a difficult task. I can do it myself. Even a thousand a day is fine."
An Yan thought about it and thought that it was only one hundred and eight heads, so she said, "Okay then, if you're tired of kowtow, I'll take your turn."
The old man cleared his throat a few times, signaling them not to take this matter as a joke.
Yan Qingqiu said to the old man, "Why is there no bone soup today?"
"The bone soup is in the kitchen," the old man said, adding, "Mr. Li suggested we try a different soup today so we don't get tired of it."
"If you like it, let them bring it to you." Li Rongsen said to Yan Qingqiu.
"No need, I'll let the old man take me there and I'll have a bowl of food." Yan Qingqiu stood up and said to the old man, "Come on, let's go together, I'm almost ravenous."
The old man let Yan Qingqiu put his arm around his shoulders and then took him to the kitchen.
But Yan Qingqiu didn't leave when he was about to leave the courtyard. He said to the old man, "Old man, it's almost enough for you. Can't you just write the date yourself? You can write it any day you want. Why do you have to go through so many complicated things?"
"You are talking nonsense again. Marriage is a big deal. It can only be safe and smooth with the blessings of heaven and earth. How can you choose the date by yourself?" The old man blamed Yan Qingqiu for being ignorant.
