On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

On the other side, the Lin sisters accompanied Mr. Jiang into Boss Xiao's house, served tea, and then went outside to do needlework with Mrs. Liu.

Lin Xuan also whispered to Mrs. Liu about Jiang Yu talking to Xiao Xiu outside.

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a while and didn't go out.

I have to admit that Jiang Yu not only has a good family background, but he is also a good person.

They had just arrived, and now they have opened a small restaurant and have established a foothold in the city.

But women here in Jiangsu and Zhejiang get engaged early. They usually get engaged when they are fifteen or sixteen, and get married when they are seventeen or eighteen.

But my Xiu'er will be nineteen after the Chinese New Year, so a good man who is about the same age as her, or two or three years older than her, is either married or engaged.

In this way, Xiu'er has fewer objects to choose from.

Neighbors have also mentioned it, but the men mentioned are either widowers, or men whose families are poor and have many brothers who cannot marry a wife.

Mrs. Liu didn't want Xiu'er to live worse than her parents' family after getting married.

Poor and humble couples suffer from everything, this is very true.

She couldn't bear to let her daughter get married and have to farm, do laundry, serve her parents-in-law, cook three meals a day, and have children.

If you can't give birth to a son, you may be rejected by your husband's family and feel unhappy.

Although she herself came here like this, Boss Xiao never let her go to the ground, nor did he let her suffer too much grievance from her parents-in-law.

Not to mention giving birth to three daughters to show off to her.

In this way, Jiang Yu is actually a very good candidate.

Definitely the taller among the short ones.

Inside, Mr. Jiang took Boss Xiao's pulse first and did not rush to change the dressing. Instead, he talked to him first: "Blessed, let me tell you something."

Boss Xiao has a very good attitude: "Uncle Jiang, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, please speak."

At this special time, even if you have money, you may lose your life if you can't hire a doctor.

But he was able to get Mr. Jiang to come to his home to see a doctor and change his dressing without spending a penny. This was almost as good as County Magistrate Chen's treatment. How could he feel dissatisfied?
Besides, if you can't do what Mr. Jiang said, just find an excuse to refuse.

But the attitude must be good now, lest the old man will be unhappy and leave them alone.

Not to mention that he and his second brother would have to change medicines for a few days. Even Li Yan, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead in the countryside, needed a bottomless pit of medicinal materials.

Mr. Jiang was indeed very satisfied with his attitude. He chuckled and said, "I want to marry your eldest daughter on behalf of my grandson. What do you think?"

Boss Xiao has a thousand wishes in his heart.

He knew Mrs. Liu's thoughts, but he was worried that his three daughters were too old to marry each other, and he was afraid that they would all fall into his hands.

Besides, if Xiao Xiu can marry into the Jiang family, she will definitely be in the upper echelons of her own family.

If it really works out, my daughter will be able to call her slaves and maids, and my family will be able to benefit from it. From now on, I won’t have to pay for medical treatment.

However, he felt in his heart that he could not agree too happily.

The woman still has to be reserved, lest the Jiang family think that she hates marrying.

He suppressed the smile on his face and said sincerely: "Uncle, if you ask me to deliver a message to someone, or bring someone to pick up Brother Jiang and the others, I will definitely have no problem with it."

"But I have to think about this important matter of marriage."

"Uncle Jiang, you are a good person, but didn't your family agree before?"

"My family is a small one, but I can't bear to wrong my daughters." "I have to ask one more question: Are my aunt and younger siblings willing to do this?"

Mr. Jiang stroked his beard and nodded with a smile: "Of course they are satisfied with your eldest daughter, so they asked me to come and talk to you first. I have to wait for you to nod before inviting the matchmaker to come."

He was also willing to give face to Zuxiao's family: "You and your family will discuss it first, and I will come to hear the good news tomorrow."

Boss Xiao immediately beamed: "I am totally willing to tell Uncle You, but I still have to tell my parents."

As long as your parents tell you the truth, their opinions don't matter.

What matters is Liu's opinion.

He thought bitterly: She might also be very satisfied with that boy Jiang Yu. After all, her young fiancé was also a scholar.

At this time, Jiang Yu's voice sounded outside.

Then Mrs. Liu accompanied Jiang Yu in.

Jiang Yu first said hello to Brother Xiao, cared about his health, and then talked about things: "I heard that the eldest girl said that she was going to send something to the countryside. The road was slippery after the snow. It happened that I had nothing to do and wanted to talk to Brother Xiao. I wonder if I can go there with the older girl?”

Boss Xiao got what he wanted: "If we hadn't all been injured, we wouldn't have let Xiu'er go out."

Then he sighed: "Xiu'er is also worried about her younger siblings and won't let her go, but she insists on going. If my nephew can accompany her, then we can rest assured."

Not only was he relieved, he wanted to laugh.

The eldest daughter has finally found a good home. When word spreads, it will also show to those who dare to come and tell widowers and poor people that their eldest daughter is destined to be wealthy.

This marriage really made him proud.

When Jiang Yu heard Boss Xiao's long-lost words of "good nephew", he knew in his heart that his marriage to Xiu'er was stable.

You know, since he proposed to propose marriage, but there was no follow-up, when Boss Xiao saw him, he changed his name from nephew to Mr. Jiang.

Now he has finally become a good nephew again, and maybe he will become a good son-in-law soon... Stop, if he thinks about it any more, he is afraid that he will not be able to control his laughter.

However, when Jiang Yu was driving the mule cart to leave, he found that not only was his sweetheart sitting in the carriage, but there were two more eyesores.

Xiao Sanlang smiled at him and called out obediently: "Hello, Brother Jiang."

Xiao Lian covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, then glared at him and sneered: "Why are you looking at us? Do you think we are an eyesore?"

The future sister-in-law was like eating chili pepper, and her words were choked.

"The second girl was joking." Jiang Yu said sincerely, "There are so many people and it's so lively."

Now he only dared to mutter in his heart: Just know that you are an eyesore. When I marry Xiu'er in the future, I won't let Xiu'er return to her parents' home.

The mule cart moved forward slowly.

Last time Xiao Dalang was almost caught at the gate of the city. This time Xiao Xiu was prepared. He wrapped all the medicinal materials in oil paper and put them in the newly bought bedding.

Therefore, they did not panic when they met the guards at the city gate.

The officer knew Jiang Yu and asked a little warily: "Didn't Jiang Shaodong's family just enter the city in the morning? Why do they have to go out again?"

Jiang Yu didn't expect the officer's memory to be so good. Of course, he didn't want to let it slip at this juncture. He approached the officer and whispered, "Shh, I finally found an opportunity to be courteous. Don't ruin my good deeds?"

While talking, he put one ingot and two taels of silver into the guard's hand.

The officer got the money, opened the curtain of the car, and saw two young and beautiful girls and a little boy sitting inside.
