Chapter 181
Seeing the contempt in Yan Shuxiu's eyes, Yan Shujing gritted her teeth secretly.

"I am the young lady of the Yan family, am I so easy to be frightened?"

At a time like this, when everyone else was anxious, she was able to be so calm, which made Mr. Yan appreciate her somewhat.

Seeing that the old man was looking at her, Yan Shujing said calmly: "Grandpa, what I said just now was serious, the Yan family spent so much money to train me, isn't it just for me to marry into a noble family? Although General Zhan is a nobleman from Xijing with an extraordinary status, he is also a man."

As long as it is a man, there will be lust.

In front of her elders, Yan Shujing didn't say the rest, but Mr. Yan understood what she was thinking.

Mr. Yan thought for a while, and felt that what she said was not unreasonable, but the Yan family's family business was not bad in Xize County, but compared with those famous families in Xijing, the Yan family's family business was not enough. How could a hero in Xijing like the general marry a woman with an average family background?

"Jing'er, your idea is very good, and your analysis is correct, but with the family property of our Yan family, even if the war general is willing to want you, you can only enter his mansion as a concubine. I'm afraid."

Yan Shujing had already thought about this point.

She would rather be a high-ranking concubine than a poor man's wife.

"Grandpa, even if you want to be a concubine for General Zhan, your granddaughter is willing. Even if a person with the status of General Zhan enters his mansion as a concubine, it is better than being a wife in an ordinary family. In the future, if your granddaughter is born again With a son and a half daughter, the status will naturally be higher, and then the entire Yan family will be honored by the granddaughter, and maybe the elder brother's official career will be smoother."

The eldest son's reputation has been ruined, and now the only member of the Yan family who is expected to enter an official career is Yan Wenfeng.

After hearing this, Mr. Yan was very tempted.

Just thinking that General Zhan was not such an easy-to-approach person made him very uncertain.

"Jing'er, if you want to marry that general as a concubine, at least you have to get close to that general first and make him fall in love with you, but getting close to that general is not so easy."

Yan Shujing frowned, and replied calmly: "Grandpa, didn't the magistrate Yao Jin also want to curry favor with that general, but it's a pity that Yao Jin has no daughters, and he doesn't trust the beautiful maids in the county government. I don’t trust their abilities either, as long as Grandpa manages to get Yao Jin to recognize his granddaughter as his goddaughter.”

These words were all spoken by Yan Bozhang to her.

Yao Jin originally wanted to send a beauty to the general, but unfortunately he only had two sons, and although the maids in the mansion were also beautiful, they were not smart enough, so he was worried about sending them out.

"Grandpa, you used to be the county magistrate of Xize County and Yao Jin's senior. If you come forward, Yao Jin should give you some thin noodles."

After all, if she managed to confuse that general, it would be good for Yao Jin's career, and Yao Jin had no reason to refuse.

It was the first time that Mr. Yan discovered that this eldest granddaughter was so smart.

Seeing that Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Li, and Yan Wenfeng did not object, Mr. Yan nodded, "Okay, grandpa will take you to the county government office to meet Yao Jin tomorrow."

Yan Shuxiu twitched the corner of her mouth.

She just waited for Yan Shujing to come back disgraced and disgraced.

Early the next morning, Yan Shujing dressed up, and Mr. Yan took her to the county seat himself.

In the cave of Daguniangfeng, the strong smell of food wakes Yan Xiaosi up.

A ray of sunlight slanted in from the entrance of the cave. It was a bright and sunny autumn day. There was no need to light oil lamps, and there was light inside the cave.

Yan Xiaosi opened his eyes, and saw his mother and two older sisters busy around the stone stove.

The mother is cooking with a spatula, the eldest sister is lighting the fire with tongs, and the second sister is chopping wood. The picture is very warm. When I wake up every morning and see such a warm picture, Yan Xiaosi is in a good mood.

Hearing her getting up, Zhong looked back.

"Little Four, wake up, quickly get dressed and wash up, and dinner will be served right away."

Yan Xiaosi put on her clothes neatly, went outside to wash her face in the cold water, and went back to the cave to eat.

While eating, he casually asked Mrs. Zhong: "Mother, the weather is fine today, do you want to go out and chop firewood?"

In the last two fairs in Daxing Town, they worked so hard to get firewood to sell in the market, but they failed to make any money.

Mrs. Zhong has already made up her mind that she will not chop and sell firewood in the future.

"I'm not chopping firewood today. Taking advantage of the good weather, Mother plans to take all the books your father left behind to dry in the sun."

When I lived in the Shattered Grass Temple at the end of Shaoyao Village, the books left by Yan Bowen had been kept in the old wardrobe, protected by the wardrobe. The books were not very damp, but the old wardrobe was too heavy. Time can only be discarded. Now, those books of Yan Bowen are packed in a linen bag by Zhong, and placed in the cave against the stone wall.

The humidity in the cave is relatively high, and after only two or three days of living, the sackcloth bag is a little damp. If the books are not taken out to dry in the sun, the books will rot in a short time.

Yan Bowen's relics are only those books, and the Zhong family is reluctant to let those books rot.

Knowing the importance of those books to the Zhong family, Yan Xiaosi said: "Mother, after breakfast, I will share the books with you."

After breakfast, Zhong Shi and Yan Shuqin cleaned up the cave, while Yan Xiaosi and Yan Shuxue went out carrying the sackcloth.

The sun has risen high, and the mild sunlight is shining outside the cave.

There is a small flat area outside the cave, which is just right for drying books.

"Second Sister, the sun is very good here, so let's post Dad's books here."

"Ah."

After discussing with each other, the two sisters opened the linen pockets, took out the books left by Yan Bowen one by one, opened them and put them in the sun to dry.

Zhong and Yan Shuqin cleaned up the cave and came out to help.

Yan Shuqin's foot injury has obviously healed, and she can walk more quickly than yesterday.

The eldest daughter's foot injury healed so quickly, which made Zhong even more convinced of the younger daughter's medical skills.

The youngest daughter has such superb medical skills, and opening a medical clinic in the future can not only earn money, improve her family's living standards, but also save lives and heal the wounded.

Zhong took a book from his linen pocket, opened it to dry, and said to Yan Xiaosi: "Xiaosi, from now on, mother doesn't want to chop firewood for sale anymore."

Yan Xiaosi didn't want Zhong's chopping firewood to sell for a long time.

That's a way out that you can't make a fortune even if you are exhausted.

"Mom, if you don't want to chop firewood, then let's not chop firewood. I have grown up, and I have medical skills and can support you."

Zhong smiled gratifiedly, and said: "Xiao Si, teach your mother to identify the medicinal materials. In the future, will your mother follow you to collect the medicine and sell it?"
