Yang Ruoqing nodded: "I heard this from my godmother at noon. Now my godmother is no longer bored, and you can also spare time to buy white peony roots."
White peony root is a kind of medicine, Yang Ruoqing used it to give Zichuan Niang a tailor-made painkiller.
He originally planned to buy it today, but someone came to visit his maternal grandfather's house, so he didn't leave.
After Yang Ruoqing said it, Mu Zichuan said: "I came here to return the food box, and also wanted to tell you about buying medicine."
"I have made an agreement with Uncle Fu. Uncle Fu is getting old and may not be able to travel such a long distance. He asked his eldest son to accompany me," Mu Zichuan said.
Yang Ruoqing said: "That's okay. His eldest son has obtained Uncle Fu's true biography. I feel relieved to have him along with me."
Moreover, if there is no one in the town tomorrow, he will have to rush to the county seat non-stop. Uncle Fu is already over fifty years old, and he may not be able to keep up in terms of physical strength.
Yang Ruoqing added: "If you reveal your identity and send a post to the county government, I believe the county magistrate will personally deliver the white peony root to you in the village. Do you want to consider exercising your privileges?"
Mu Zichuan shook his head without hesitation.
"To be honest, I always disguised myself all the way back and traveled across states and counties, trying not to reveal my identity," he said.
"I just want to accompany my mother wholeheartedly and do my best to take care of her. I don't want to be bothered by the human relations in the officialdom. I just want to be clean!" He added.
Yang Ruoqing said 'hmm', "Okay then, you can leave early tomorrow morning to buy medicine. Don't worry about your godmother, I will go over and take care of her."
At dawn the next day, Mu Zichuan said goodbye to his mother and set off to the medical clinic in the town to buy medicine.
Liu Doukou walked to the door of the courtyard and handed a hot ball of something wrapped in cloth to Mu Zichuan with both hands.
"What is this?" Mu Zichuan asked.
Liu Doukou said: "Cousin, this is the bean cake I made by myself. It is still hot. You can take it with you to eat on the road."
Mu Zichuan said: "My cousin is interested, then I'll leave. My mother will be overworked, so you have to worry about it."
Liu Doukou said quickly: "Cousin, it is Doukou's responsibility to take care of my aunt. You don't need to say such unreasonable things to me."
Muzichuan smiled faintly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, and turned around to get on the carriage.
He raised the curtain of the carriage and said to Liu Doukou: "I'm leaving, and I'll be back in two days at most. You go back to the house."
Liu Doukou nodded and warned, "Cousin, be careful on the road."
Mu Zichuan said "Hmm" and lowered the curtain again. The coachman waved his whip and the horse started driving.
Liu Doukou followed the carriage for two more steps until the carriage turned around the front courtyard wall and entered the village's bluestone road, out of sight. Only then did Liu Doukou turn around and return to the yard.
…
In the morning, Yang Ruoqing came to visit her parents' house next door and met Mrs. Liu who came to visit.
Madam Liu was stretching her neck to talk to Madam Sun. She didn't know what she was talking about. Madam Sun smiled helplessly, obviously speechless.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing come in, Ms. Liu immediately left Ms. Sun behind and turned to Yang Ruoqing with a mysterious wink: "Qing'er, come on, I want to ask you something."
"What's going on?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Mrs. Liu said: "Is that beautiful girl from Lao Mu's family Mu Zichuan's fiancée?"
"What?" Yang Ruoqing was so surprised that her eyes widened.
Mrs. Liu stuck out her tongue and licked her dry lips, then continued: "I went to the pond at the entrance of the village to wash clothes in the morning. I happened to meet the girl who was also washing clothes. She was with the two women next door to Lao Mu's house. Come to wash, there are not only Lady Zichuan’s clothes in the basin, but also Zichuan’s clothes.”
"If she wasn't his fiancée, why would she be allowed to live in Zichuan's house? Why would she be allowed to wash clothes for Zichuan?"
Yang Ruoqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Fourth Aunt, you really know how to make connections. That girl is my godmother's niece and uncle Zichuan's cousin!"
"Ah? It turns out they are relatives!" Mrs. Liu said.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Yang Ruoqing asked.
Sun also spoke up at this time: "Fourth younger brother and sister, I just said that I am Zichuan's cousin. You still don't believe it and you have to argue with me. Now Qing'er has said it herself. You should understand, right?"
Mrs. Liu clicked her tongue and said, "That girl is really pretty. She has watery eyes, black and shiny hair, she speaks softly, especially when she walks, and she has a slender waist. She is really a beauty." .”
Sun said: "You see Zichuan is so handsome, so naturally his cousin is also good-looking."
Mrs. Liu said: "Not to mention, the two cousins really look alike between their facial features!"
"Hey, Yongxian is already engaged to both the Liao family and the Li family. There's no chance of this happening. Yongqing is a piece of mud that can't stick to the wall, and he's even got into Yu Jingui's trap."
"Yongbai's marriage has something to do with his father-in-law. Hey, third sister-in-law, Qing'er, your Xiaoan is almost seventeen now. It's time to talk about marriage. I think this Zichuan's cousin is Yes, my eyebrows and facial features are perfect for your little one!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Sun was startled and couldn't help but look at Yang Ruoqing.
Obviously, this is exciting.
Yang Ruoqing was also stunned for a moment, but then she said to Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, please don't mess with the rules. Xiao An is still young and it is the time to make achievements. Our family plans to wait for another two years before giving birth to a child." He said yes!"
Mrs. Liu curled her lips, "If you say it so late, by then this pretty girl from the Liu family will be said to have run away!"
Yang Ruoqing laughed and said, "If you are destined to do so, you can't run away. Why are you so anxious?"
"Fourth Aunt, you just said this to us, and we just heard it as a joke. Don't ever say this kind of thing when you go elsewhere. We, Xiao An, are men and are not afraid of these things, but this is right for Liu." Our girl's reputation is not very good." She warned again.
Ms. Liu patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Aunt is not stupid. Fourth Aunt knows what she is doing!"
For a person like Liu, if you keep supplying tea and melon seeds, she can sit at your house all day long, chatting about household matters, gossiping about things going on in this village or that village. You've been talking endlessly.
And if you want to send her away, force will not work, because she is a fast maltose.
But Yang Ruoqing has her own way.
"Fourth Aunt, I heard that the woman from Wangfu's family is becoming more and more interested in dressing up these days. She is washing clothes by the pond. I heard some people living near her house say that she seems to be flirting with someone in the village. , but is it true?”
Yang Ruoqing asked casually.
Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did you hear it too? I heard something too. Some people said they saw a man entering Wangfu's house at night, and Wangfu's wife opened the door."
"And that figure from behind is not Wangfu. What's more, Wangfu has been taken away by Tang Yazi to the military camp to serve as a kitchen soldier. If he can't come back, who will he be?"
Mr. Liu immediately started to use his brain and asked a series of rhetorical questions.
