Lady Wan Guan

At dawn, Xiang Zhenye got up and called his son who was still sleeping: "Second brother, get up quickly and hurry up. We can reach the capital today."

The second eldest child, Xiang Baoyi, turned over and said drowsily and dissatisfied: "Don't disturb me, let me sleep a little longer."

"Second brother, come here early. We can have dinner in the capital today. If Ruoruo sent someone all the way to pick us up, why don't we treat us to a good meal? Are you entertaining us with good wine and food?" Xiang Zhenye picked up My son likes to hear it most.

Sure enough, the good wine and good food made Xiang Baoyi sober up a little. He got up in a hurry, still impatient: "Get up, get up, dad, I'm not telling you, you are old, you have to be old." After a long trip, even Lin Ruoruo's half-baked medical skills can't survive in Jiangcheng. Do you think she will be prosperous in the capital? How much benefit do you expect from her? It's just a dream. "

He asked the person who came to pick them up to find out everything.

Ruoruo is now working as a doctor in a medicine hall in the capital.

Her husband's family, whom she wanted to marry, was engaged in business in the capital, which meant running some small businesses with little to show for it.

Xiang Zhenye said: "Your father and I have never been to the capital for most of my life. Now someone pays for travel. When you arrive in the capital, there are people to take care of your food, drink, and toilet. Why don't you go see the world while this old bone can still move?"

Xiang Baoyi washed his face carelessly: "Okay, okay, whatever you say will be whatever you say."

The father and son just had some breakfast at the inn and then hit the road.

On the other side, the Jiang Lin family is almost arriving in the capital.

"I've found out clearly that the medicine shop where Ruoruo sits in the hall is called Sanxitang. This is clearly the medicine hall opened by Ruoruo herself. Otherwise, how else could it be called Sanxitang? She still wants to deceive us, just because she's afraid that we will take advantage of her. ." said Jiang Haihua, the son of Jiang Lin.

"Really? I also said that she couldn't survive in Jiangcheng, so she ran to the capital. Unexpectedly, she really became successful and could open a medicine hall in the capital."

"Mom, when we arrive in the capital, we will go to Sanxitang first. How can a daughter's family manage a medicine hall? Don't let her close it like the medicine hall in Jiangcheng. Sanxitang is rented out anyway. We can't just lose it to Ruoruo. Besides, she is the only daughter left by my uncle. We can't ignore her. When the time comes, I will take care of her and run the medicine hall for her, and she will be responsible for sitting in the hall for consultation." Jiang Hai Hua has already made plans, thinking that he will soon own a medicine hall in the capital. He is excited and can't wait to go to the capital right away.

"Son, you are right. We were far away from Jiangcheng before and couldn't take care of her. Mother also felt very sorry for your uncle. This time she must make up for Ruoruo." Jiang Lin said.

Mother and son smiled knowingly.

The two carriages entered the city almost in front and back. Jiang Shi quickly got the news and called Ruoruo to greet them together.

Jiang Wanning was afraid that Lin Ruoruo would be bullied because of her thin skin, so she asked Grandma Wang to follow her.

The house Jiang Shi rented was a half-old house with no modern features.

Xiang Zhenye and his son and Jiang Lin's mother and son couldn't help but feel disgusted when they saw this house.

"This house is so small, can it be accommodated?" Jiang Haihua said.

"It is indeed a bit small, and the place is also remote. I thought Ruoruo was developed, but I didn't expect that the place I live in is quite shabby." Xiang Baoyi said.

"What do you know? The capital is the capital of Qi. Every inch of land is at a premium, so a small house like this costs a lot of money." Xiang Zhenye looked like he had seen the world.

"Her uncle, we, mother and son, will live in the wing at the back. You and your son can live in the front." Jiang Lin chose the room first and instructed her son to move the luggage to the wing at the back. Xiang Zhenye was dissatisfied. It was obvious that the room at the back was better.

"Auntie, I'm old, I sleep lightly and wake up easily. The wing at the back is quieter, so it would be more suitable for me to live there," Xiang Zhenye said.

"That's right, her aunt, you are still young, so let the elders give way." Xiang Baoyi said and also picked up his luggage to move to the back.

When Jiang Shi and Lin Ruoruo arrived, they were arguing over who should live in the main wing.

Lin Ruoruo's face turned dark immediately. Jiang Shi stepped forward with a smile and bowed his hands: "Jiang Shi, my junior, has met my uncle, my second cousin, my aunt, and my first cousin."

The eyes of the four people were rolling. This young man looked quite handsome, but these new clothes and shoes... As expected, he was a small businessman. When he came to see them with new clothes, he could only make clothes, silk and satin. Can't even afford it.

"Are you the one we want to discuss marriage with?" Xiang Zhenye looked indifferent.

Jiang Shi smiled and said, "It's this junior."

Jiang Lin saw Lin Ruoruo and said with a smile: "Ruoruo, we haven't seen each other for many years. She has become a big girl now, and she is becoming more and more provocative."

Lin Ruoruo said calmly: "We haven't seen each other for many years, almost eight years."

She was only thirteen years old when her father left.

For eight years, one of them took away the property left by her father, and the other took away the property left by her mother, leaving only an empty Sanxi Hall, and they never asked her what she wanted to do with a thirteen-year-old girl. live.

Lin Ruoruo really regretted that when Jiang Shi asked her if she had any relatives left, she should have said that she had no relatives.

But she thought at the time that it would not be good if there was no natal family member when the marriage was being discussed. She would have to find someone else to act as her natal family member. According to Daqi's custom, even if she was an orphan, she would have to find someone to discuss the marriage. Only when respected elders come, this etiquette is considered complete. And she only knew Jiang Wan Ning in the capital, and Jiang Wan Ning was Jiang Shi's younger sister. Naturally, she was not suitable to be her natal family member, so she suddenly mentioned her uncle and aunt.

Jiang Shi acted quickly and immediately sent someone to pick her up. Later she remembered that the family could actually invite Aunt Wei.

Jiang Lin sighed: "Time flies so fast, eight years have passed. Unfortunately, my aunt is far away and her health is not good, so she can't take care of you. I can only ask your cousin to visit you. Every time I think of it, I feel sad in my heart." I feel very guilty. Last year, my aunt wanted to tell you about your family relationship and asked your cousin to go to Jiangcheng to find you. Only then did she find out that you had left Jiangcheng. No one knew where you had gone. You kid, you closed down Sanxitang and came to the capital. Why didn’t I write a letter and tell my aunt earlier?”

Lin Ruoruo's eyelids twitched. Are you asking your cousin to come see me? It's obvious that they want to see how Sanxitang is doing. If it's doing well, they want to get a piece of the pie.

Jiang Shi became angry when he heard this, and the smile on his face faded a bit: "Uncle, aunt, you settle down first. I have ordered a table of food and wine at a nearby tavern. We will eat and chat later. "

"Ah? We came all the way, why don't you just order food and drinks at the tavern to entertain us?" Xiang Baoyi said displeased.

Mrs. Jiang Lin quickly gave her son a wink, and first occupied the house in the main room at the back, making Xiang Zhenye furious.

Lin Ruoruo said: "Second cousin, we are not a wealthy family. We can't afford those restaurants that cost hundreds of taels of silver per meal."

Xiang Baoyi glanced at Jiang Shi, his dissatisfaction became more and more obvious, and he almost had the words "dislike the poor and love the rich" carved on his face.
