Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 423 The Fish is Muddy

"What did you learn?"

At this time, Second Aunt Song also came back. She heard these words at the door and couldn't help but be curious. When she entered the room and saw Song Ying angry, she was even more puzzled, "What happened today? Did someone go to the clinic to cause trouble?"

Song Ying shook her head, too angry to explain.

Luo Yanxing then recounted the entire story, including what Aunt Chen had told her. Song Ying knew that Aunt Chen was genuinely kind-hearted and did not exaggerate, describing the story truthfully.

But she really couldn't accept this statement. Marrying her was to repay a favor, so subconsciously he believed that she was inferior.

Sure enough, after listening to it, Second Aunt Song also said, "This is indeed a good marriage. The scholar can propose to wait until he passes the exam before deciding on the marriage. He must be a kind-hearted man with good character."

Luo Yanxing also nodded and said, "In our hearts, you are naturally perfect, and you are more than qualified to be a companion to the princes and grandchildren, but we are peasant girls after all, without family background, and being able to become the wife of a scholar is already a change of status.

As long as the scholar has good character and looks decent, even if his family is poor, with your intelligence and medical skills, your life will become more and more prosperous in the future. With both status and money, how can it not be considered a good match?"

Song Ying curled her lips, "Forget it, I don't want to have a husband who uses my money and thinks it's my honor."

Luo Yanxing thought about it and said curiously: "Hey, now that you mention it, I also think this marriage is not a particularly good one. Just hearing it makes my fists stiff. Hey, what's going on? I thought it was a good one before."

She scratched her head, becoming more confused.

For a peasant girl to marry a scholar is the best marriage no matter where she lives, much better than Xiaoxiang's.

Why now that Song Ying said this, she felt that this marriage was weird and not so good.

Aunt Song was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "In fact, there is a better one. Yuan Qing from the Yuan family, from what his grandmother said yesterday, he has a high chance of passing the exam.

We know each other well, so we don't worry about hidden dangers. These past two days, I've seen that he's a good person, and he cares about his sister. He has many of the same ideas as Yingwa, so you two can talk to each other..."

"Stop, stop!" Song Ying stopped her from talking. "That's the Yuan family's golden nugget. They want to marry him to a noble lady from the capital. They don't even like Mr. He's daughter."

Song Ying felt that he was too angry today, and even his chest felt stuffy. Thinking about what happened in the past two days, he became more and more determined not to study and fish together in the morning.

Luo Yanxing also said: "Everyone knows that Yuan Qing is a good match. A few years ago, some people in our village had this idea, but the Yuan family revealed their intentions early on and politely rejected everyone. In the past few years, no one has even come to propose marriage."

Aunt Song felt that the two of them were too obedient in this matter, and said tactfully: "Although this marriage is arranged by the parents and the matchmaker, it also depends on the wishes of the person himself. Young people are at the age when their hearts are stirred..."

At this point, she paused and continued, "Besides, can their family marry a noble lady just because they want to? Even if Yuan Qing really has that ability, it will take a long time for him to pass the imperial examination. In such a long period of time, there are many variables."

Song and Luo were shocked and confused after hearing what she said. They always felt that what Song Ergu meant was that they should find a way to meet Yuan Qing in private and win Yuan Qing's heart.

After a moment of doubt, the two felt that they were wrong. Second Aunt Song was so gentle and honest, she should be scared when she heard about such a bold thing.

At this time, Aunt Song felt that it was useless to be too tactful. Anyway, there were only three of them in the family, so she said earnestly: "When a woman gets married, it is like being reborn again. You can be shy, but you have to have your mind set. You have to be bold when you need to be bold, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Look at Zhang from your village. She was daring and planned, and she tried her best. Although Xu Dashan died and she became a widow, she chose the right man, and her life is better than many others."

Song Ying and Luo Yanxing were dumbfounded. They had never expected that Second Aunt Song would say this. It was totally different from her usual temperament. Moreover, she had always said, like Li and others, that if a woman was docile, her life would be smoother.

What she just said was completely contrary to the requirements of being gentle.

Seeing the two of them stunned, Second Aunt Song couldn't help but smile, "Do you think Second Aunt's words are disturbing?"

Song and Luo nodded subconsciously, then shook their heads together, "No, no."

Aunt Song was amused by their coordinated movements, and then she sighed, "When I first heard your grandma say this, I was also shocked for a long time, but now I regret it. I have listened to her so many words since I was a child, so why don't I have the courage to say this.

Of all the things she taught me in her life, these are probably the only things that are truly beneficial to me."

Song and Luo looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Song Ying said, "I will study medicine well and open a clinic in the future. No matter who I marry, my life will not be bad."

Aunt Song was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "That's true."

During the few years in the city, she was very clear about her niece's abilities. She was invited by the ladies and daughters of wealthy families to see patients. The consultation fees were all paid in silver. One consultation could be equivalent to or even more than her monthly salary.

The next morning, while grilling fish after reading, Song Ying hesitated for a moment and said, "Yuan Qing, I've thought about it these past two days and I won't come here to study in the morning anymore."

Yuan Qing was stunned, and the fish in his hand almost fell into the fire. He clenched his fist, flipped it over the flames a few times, and then asked casually, "Why?"

"I have memorized all the important medical books in the past few years and know them by heart. I will review them from time to time and read the notes of my predecessors. Even if there are new medical books, I will be able to understand everything."

"Oh, I see." Yuan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at the fire. After a while, he said, "Congratulations, it seems that you are not far from mastering medical skills. You don't need to go out in the cold weather to suffer..."

"Fish, fish, fish! The fish is mushy!"

Yuan Qing was startled and quickly took the fish away, only to see that the downward side was already charred black, and because it was moved away from the flames and exposed to the cold morning air, it was emitting white smoke.

Song Ying looked at the burnt fish and said thankfully, "Fortunately, there is still one side to eat.

"After that, he laughed and teased: "Hey, this is the first time I see you burn the fish, it's quite rare."

When we first started grilling fish together in school, she burned several fish because of her poor cooking skills. She had to stare at them the whole time and turn them over from time to time.
