Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 262 Qu Duo and His Wife Are Annoyed at Seeing His Bride (1)
From the beginning of the school's land purchase until now, Li Jingjing has asked Ma Lan to participate.

Ma Lan is gentle and kind. She suffered a great change in her life and her personality became tenacious and unyielding. She is very calm at a young age, but also very talented. The most important thing is her ability to manage. Therefore, Li Jingjing appointed her as the deputy hall master after discussing with the He family.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity to restore my reputation. I will do my best to run the school well." Ma Lan nodded gratefully.

She has no reputation at all now, even if it is not for herself, she must also consider the future of her six-year-old brother Ma Song, and she must be a good deputy head of the school.

Let's say that Mrs. Deng looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally received a letter from Qu Kuaishou in mid-April.

"For a long time, come and read your father's letter to me."

"Mother, my father has sent a letter. That's great." Qu Changjiu couldn't wait to open his letter.

The content of the letter is: Qu Kuaishou asked Qu Jiujiu to immediately go to Beidi to work as an errand for household registration in the yamen, and unexpectedly agreed to his marriage to Miss Ding, a merchant girl. Beidi, then don't marry her.

Qu Changjiu let out a long sigh, his sunken eyes were deeply disappointed, "Mother, the job my father found for me is to sort out household registration, and it's just a document with no class or grade."

Deng asked, "What is a document?"

Qu Changjiu said quietly: "A document is a person who works for the magistrate's teacher." He thought he could be a teacher, but unexpectedly it is equivalent to the job of a teacher's servant.

Deng asked: "My son, can you tell me what kind of work is suitable for you outside?"

Qu Jiu bowed his head and was speechless for a while.

Deng comforted her and said: "I think the job your father found for you is not bad, at least it's a job in the yamen, and you're from the imperial court."

Because Qu Jiujiu's errand was too far from what he had expected, he was also a bit indifferent about marrying Ms. Ding.

He felt that Miss Ding would definitely not marry him when she heard the news that there would be no future as a petty official in the Northland.

Mrs. Deng thought that Qu Jiujiu's succession was a major matter for the Qu family, so she immediately took the letter to Li's residence, and said excitedly: "Sister, your elder brother sent a letter asking your nephew to remarry and ask him to go to Beidi as an errand." .”

"It's been so hard for a long time. He should have married a long time ago." Qu's 120 agreed, "Wangying, please show me, which day this month is an auspicious day for marriage?"

Deng Shicha said: "Wait, you can't marry yet, you have to ask the woman if she is willing to go to the north for a long time."

Qu urged: "Then send someone to ask."

On the same day, Mrs. Deng entrusted Liu Xiniang to go to Liuyang County to ask the Ding family, and got a reply the next day that Miss Ding was willing to go to Beidi with Qu Jiujiu.

Deng and Qu were overjoyed.

Within three days, the Qu family gave the Ding family a dowry gift of 1000 taels of silver.The two families exchanged their birthday horoscopes.

Because they were both married twice, and Qu Kuaishou was not at home, Qu Changjiu didn't want to hold a big wedding banquet, so he set up five tables at Qu's house, and invited Li's family, Qin Yue's family and relatives from Qu's village.

Qu Jiujiu and Li Qubing went to Liuyang County to take the bride Ding's house to the Qu family.

Ding's parents stayed at Ding's house to receive relatives and friends, and her two older brothers, two sister-in-laws, one younger brother, and four nephews all followed.

"What does the bride look like?" He Yiyang stood outside the yard, curiously watching Ding, who was wearing a red hijab, being sent into the wedding room by her dowry slaves.

It was the first time he saw a marriage when he grew up so big.

"Go, poke through the paper window to see the bride." Li Yunxiao slipped out of the crowd holding He Yiyang's hand.

The two boys quietly walked into the courtyard of the second entrance, saw that the door of the wedding room was open, several servants of the Ding family were coming in and out, and they could see the bride without poking the paper window, so they ran in excitedly.

Ding's stature is not tall, and his upper body is covered by a wedding dress and a red handkerchief. Even his hands are covered by the wide and bright red sleeves of the wedding dress, so he can't see a little bit of skin.

"Let's go. Come see me tonight." Li Yunxiao pulled He Yiyang to leave.

He Yiyang quickly picked up the scale beam on the table and lifted Ding's red handkerchief, revealing her ordinary face with slender eyes painted with makeup.

The two servants in the room were holding copper basins and benches in their hands, and exclaimed: "My God, this young master, Xipa is not something you can pick!"

"Put down the scale quickly."

"Little skinny man, you are messing around again!" Li Yunxiao hurriedly knocked down He Yiyang's right hand holding the scale, bowed to Ding, and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

He Yiyang looked sullen, and was dragged out of the house by Li Yunxiao to have a training session in the yard.

"It's a custom in Tanzhou that the bride's red handkerchief must be lifted by the groom himself with a scale, which indicates that the future will be happy, and it will be unlucky if it is lifted by someone else. Why are you so ignorant?"

"Don't I want to see what the bride looks like?"

Li Yunxiao said angrily: "Let my mother and my younger sister know about this, and you and I will have to!"

He Yiyang lowered his head and said, "One person is responsible for the work. Let my aunt and Xiao Jingniang scold me."

Li Yunxiao slapped He Yiyang on the shoulder with his right fist, and said loudly: "I told you, we share difficulties and share happiness."

He Yiyang raised his head with a smile on his face, and whispered, "The bride is not pretty."

Li Yunxiao giggled a few times, rolled his eyes, and said: "My uncle was born like that, and they are a good match."

He Yiyang rubbed the shoulder that was hurt by Li Yunxiao just now, and said slowly: "I see that your aunt is not a simple person. I lifted her red handkerchief, and she was not surprised or afraid at all."

Li Yunxiao giggled and said, "You are so stupid. You walked up to my aunt just now. Although my aunt is wearing a red veil, she can see your feet!"

"She could see my feet, but she certainly didn't expect that I would slam her hijab off."

"That's true." Li Yunxiao saw Li Huan hurriedly approaching Li Jingjing, and asked, "What's the matter with you?"

After saluting, Li Huan said: "The wedding banquet is going to be held ahead, Miss asked me to invite you to sit at the table."

A dark-skinned middle-aged servant of the Ding family stepped out quickly to stop Li Huan, and asked, "I wonder where the two young masters are from just now?"

Li Huan answered truthfully.

The servant was about to sue He Yiyang, Ding sent another servant to rush ahead of her and said, "It turns out that it is the son and Young Master Murong. They look handsome and look very good."

Li Huan couldn't see that there was something going on inside, but Mrs. Ding didn't want to let the slaves talk about it, so she couldn't ask any more questions.

Li Huan went back to the front hall and mentioned the matter to Li Jingjing.

Li Yunxiao and He Yiyang, who were having a wedding wine, immediately felt that they were being stared at by some terrible person. They looked up and saw Li Jingjing staring at them from the opposite wine table, and lowered their heads guiltily.
