Chapter 23 Sweet talk
What he saw the most in the palace since he was a child was fighting to the death between women, especially the scene where his mother and concubine hanged herself to death, especially before his eyes.

From that moment on, he swore secretly that he would never marry for the rest of his life.

She never thought that after rejecting so many marriage proposals, she would actually get engaged to a little country girl by mistake.

What is this, if it is not a marriage destined by heaven?This little girl not only did not make him feel disgusted, but instead aroused his strong desire to explore.

He is honest, kind, cheerful and enthusiastic, and his heart is pure and clear, but there seems to be an indescribable sense of mystery.

Hidden weapons, medical skills... A 15-year-old girl, these two things are enough to shock him.

Needless to say, the hidden weapon was so superb that he hadn't even seen how it was shot.

As for medical skills, he is now deeply understanding.

However, in just one day and one night, his wounds were healing rapidly, such superb medical skills may not even be able to be achieved by the imperial physicians in the palace.

So he will definitely take good care of her and explore her little by little.

"Is there something dirty on my face?" Seeing Wu Chongwenjun watching her with a smile on his face, Xiao Ningxue hurriedly put down the wooden spoon and touched her face.

"No, you look good."

"Pfft~~ At the age of fourteen or five, the five sense organs are not fully developed. Where can I see better? Drink porridge."

After speaking, Xiao Ningxue stuffed a pillow behind Wu Chongwen's back, and started to feed him porridge, but she felt very happy in her heart.

Women, who doesn't like to hear compliments?
Before taking a sip of porridge, Mrs. Xiao's embarrassing voice came from outside.

"Hey, son, mother lived with you, and she didn't call you mother when she was eating? Patriarch, tell me, are Xiao Shan and girl Xue not filial?"

The patriarch was also very speechless, just now he was complaining to the village chief about Xiao Shan's father and daughter, and now he came over to eat with a shy face, really thick-skinned.

But no one can do anything about her, the time of separation has already been decided, Mrs. Xiao will live with Xiao Shan's father and daughter, and they will be responsible for food and lodging.

So he moved the stool to the side and said hello.

"Then sit down and eat together."

"Okay, I'm going to get some food right now... yo? There's still wine, so I have to drink some, I have to drink some wine to drive away the cold with my old cold legs."

The old lady Xiao didn't care how ugly Xiao Shan's face was, she took the bowl and chopsticks and poured a big bowl of wine, and picked up a big bowl of meat, and started eating and drinking on her own.

Xiao Ningxue couldn't help laughing when she heard it in the room, this wicked old lady's skin is thicker than a cow's hide, she must treat her well when her father returns to the county.

Wu Chongwen didn't expect that the girl was not only not angry, but also burst out laughing, and found her even more interesting.

"She is so disturbed and kind, and you are not angry?"

"Pfft~~ Angry? Angry means incompetent. I will make her even more angry. Don't believe me, just wait and see."

Wu Chongwen couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed the top of Xiao Ningxue's head.

"It's a good thing you're engaged to me, otherwise you'll offend her, and she'll marry you to the blind and lame!"

"Hmph, can I be at her mercy?"

"Marriage matters can only be at the mercy of her. Your household registration is in her hands, and she can marry whoever she wants you to marry."

Xiao Ningxue's face changed slightly after hearing this, her slender eyelashes fluttered a few times quickly, she was very embarrassed for a while, and then discussed with Wu Chongwen while feeding him porridge.

"Hey Wu Chongwen, I saved your life and made a false engagement with you to help you avoid your enemies. I originally planned to charge you 500 taels for a reward, but I don't want this reward. How about we pretend to get married?"

After speaking, he blinked his bright eyes and added another sentence.

"Don't worry, when I make money, I will take my father and leave here. At that time, just give me a divorce paper."

Wu Chongwen smiled.

"It's not impossible to marry you, but our ancestors set a rule that divorce is not allowed."

"Then make peace?"

"It's not allowed to make peace!"

Xiao Ningxue suddenly had one head and two big ones.

"Then I'm in big trouble. Once I divorce you, my nasty grandma will definitely sell me."

She pouted her aggrieved mouth, her appearance was cute and pitiful, she really didn't know that Wu Chongwen was serious about his engagement to her.

Wu Chongwen answered slowly.

"I, Wu Chongwen, promise a thousand dollars, and the marriage we have made is not allowed to be refunded." When he said these words, there was always a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

This little girl~~ I really think that marriage letters can be written casually, marriages can be withdrawn casually, and divorces can be made at any time after marriage?
I really don't know what is in her little head.

Xiao Ningxue was stunned when she heard this.

No resignation, no divorce, no reconciliation... Then what does the marriage certificate in her hand mean?
"So, our marriage has become real?" Xiao Ningxue widened her eyes in surprise, "What should we do? How are you going to explain to your family? They will definitely not agree."

She is a country girl, her father is a gangster, and ordinary farmers despise her, let alone a city person like Wu Chongwen with an unusual family background?
Wu Chongwen rubbed Xiao Ningxue's head with ease.

"I have no parents, and my brothers have already been married. Apart from the rules of my ancestors, I have to decide who to marry."

"Really?" Xiao Ningxue blinked her bright eyes, let out a long breath, and secretly looked at Wu Chongwen.

This guy was really unprovocative, with handsome eyebrows and star eyes, fair skin, a high nose bridge, plump and ruddy lips than a woman's, and a unique temperament and majesty in his handsomeness, exuding the courage and charm that a man should have!

Such a nearly perfect man became her husband overnight?
She earned it!
He lost!
"I will allow you to take a concubine." Xiao Ningxue said sincerely, "But you can't control me too much, I will earn money by myself, and when I have money, I will travel around the world..."

"You can't force me to have children, I don't want to become a child-bearing machine for passing on the family line!"

"Although my father is a coworker, you can't dislike him. If you want to marry me, then my father has to live with us."

As he said this, the bowl of porridge was quickly finished, and Wu Chongwen lost his energy and began to feel drowsy again.

At this time, he suddenly dragged Xiao Ningxue's hand, wrapped it in his palm, and said slowly:
"No matter what Xiaoxue says, I agree."

"Also, my mother has her last words that I am not allowed to take concubines, and I will accompany you wherever you go."

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Looking at that quiet but still handsome face, Xiao Ningxue's cheeks flushed instantly.

After all, there is a 28-year-old soul living in the body. After hearing the assurance of such an outstanding man, it would be a lie to say that he is not tempted.

If you don't take a concubine, he will go wherever she goes... Poof~~ Were ancient people so sweet-talking?

If he could do it, he would be a dedicated person, and it would be in line with her view of marriage and love as a modern person.

After dinner in the evening, Xiao Shinian, the patriarch's eldest son, came over with a torch and took the half-drunk patriarch away.

The old lady Xiao put the bowl away, wiped her oily face and said to Xiao Shan, "Elder son, you go to live in a new house, there is no room here, there are only three rooms."

She didn't want to live in the old house before, the room was narrow and dilapidated, but now she is scrambling to live here, just looking for an opportunity to destroy it, so many good girls Mr. Wu didn't choose, so she chose this bitch!Maybe when he recovers from his injuries, he can find a chance to wake him up.

Let him divorce Xiao Ningxue, then marry Xiao Ningxue to a blind and lame man, or simply sell her to a brothel.

After all, this cheap girl is too irritating and won't let her have a good life.

Xiao Shan said coldly: "Brother Wen is injured, I will take care of him in his room at night."

My daughter is young after all, although the two are engaged, but the little girl's family is naturally not easy to take care of when she wakes up in the middle of the night.

The old lady Xiao twitched her lips, "Then it's up to you, mother is going to bed." After speaking, she went into the back room.

After Xiao Ningxue finished washing, she boiled a pot of hot water and carried it into the south room.

Wu Chongwen slept soundly, breathing evenly, Xiao Ningxue took a hot towel to wrap Wu Chongwen's legs.

His leg felt like ice, and he didn't know if he was injured or what, but it still looked abnormal.

At this moment, Xiao Shan also washed his face, took a shower, and walked in.

"Girl Xue, you go to rest, dad is here to take care of brother Wen." He looked at his daughter's thin face, full of distress, "I've been tired and thin these two days."

"That's hard work, dad." Xiao Ningxue replied with a smile, handed the hot towel into Xiao Shan's hands, went out after that, and brought in a large bag of money.

"Father, this is the money I earned as a doctor in Baohetang in the town."

In order not to make her father worry about the money, she showed him the money on purpose.

Seeing so much silver, Xiao Shan was shocked.

"This, this is all earned by Xue girl from treating patients?"

He did teach his daughter the principles of medicine and identification of herbs, but her daughter's medical skills are so good?Do you know how to treat people sick?This really surprised him.

Xiao Ningxue explained with a giggle.

"Liu Yuanwai's baby in the town had a febrile convulsion. After taking my medicine, his fever subsided and he woke up. Liu Yuanwai was so rich that he insisted on giving him 50 taels of silver as a consultation fee."

"By the way, my alias is Mr. Xue, and I signed a contract with shopkeeper Li. I will practice medicine and sell medicine in his pharmacy, and I will definitely earn money."

"There's a drought right now. I'll go to town tomorrow to buy more food and stock it up."

Xiao Shan was both excited and emotional, and said with red eyes:
"I didn't expect my daughter to have this kind of medical skills. Dad really didn't expect it."

"Father is also useless. He hasn't saved a single penny in these years... But don't worry, dad will go to your second aunt's house tomorrow to get back the 100 taels that your second uncle blackmailed. That's what dad saved for you." dowry money."

Xiao Ningxue hurriedly said: "There's no need to make this trip. If Second Uncle is willing to pay back the money, he won't be hiding at his mother's house for so many days. Don't worry, Father. After he comes back, I will find a way for him to obediently take out the money .”

"Since my daughter said so, then I will listen to my daughter." Xiao Shan nodded, "Hurry up and collect the money, and don't reveal your belongings when you go to town."

After speaking, he quickly added, "I'm worried about you going to the town alone. I'll say hello to the patriarch tomorrow and ask Wenjie to go with you."

"Okay, Dad." Xiao Ningxue nodded.

The father and daughter talked for a while, then checked Wu Chongwen's injuries, and after feeding him a pack of anti-inflammatory drugs, Xiao Ningxue went back to sleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, Xiao Ningxue, accompanied by the patriarch's grandson Xiao Wenjie, went to the town.

More than 30 taels of silver, in addition to buying clothes, bedding and shoes, everything else was bought rice flour oil.

After shopping, it was getting late, and I didn't have time to go to Baohetang, so I hurried home.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the town, I met someone leading an old maroon horse to sell there, "The horse is sold, the horse is sold, it is cheap for ten taels of silver, come and buy it."

Xiao Ningxue squinted her eyes at the old horse, and said to Xiao Wenjie, "Brother Wenjie, I want to see that horse, just wait for me."
