Chapter 109: Xier is so brave?
Chun'er has been absent-minded since he came back.
The next morning, Xia'er came to ask for leave for her: "My Lord, Chun'er is feeling a little unwell, so I'm asking for a day off!"
She also whispered in Yu Jiuer's ear: "Chun'er hid in her bed and cried all night last night. I heard it clearly from the next room."
Yu Jiuer lowered her eyelids and thought: "What on earth made her so sad? You little girls are just like this, when you encounter a little thing, it's like the sky is falling! Isn't it just a matter of secular ethics?"
"Sir, this is how things are in this world. There is probably no one else in the world who is as courageous and strong-willed as you!"
Yu Jiuer twitched her lips and chuckled: "There's nothing important to do, let's go to Liangzi Lake!"
As soon as he entered the clinic, Liang Zihu's unhappy voice came: "What poison are you here to get this time?"
"Doctor Liang, do I look like a sinister and treacherous person? Am I only coming to you to get poison? Can't I just come to chat with you?" Yu Jiuer looked unhappy.
Is her moral character so low that she thinks about poisoning people every day?
"No, you're here for no good! I've spent my life saving lives, and I've never even touched poison before I met you. After I met you, I started developing all kinds of poisons every day to help you harm people. You've ruined my reputation!"
Liang Zihu and Yu Jiuer had been to the coastal areas of the Western Regions and had gone through hardships together. A deep friendship had been formed between the two, so he often spoke to Yu Jiuer in a casual manner and treated her like a friend.
Yu Jiuer didn't care when she heard that. She said with a playful smile, "How can you live in this world without some poison to protect yourself? To deal with cunning villains, you have to be more cunning than them! Look at your Liang family, there are ten people. Two people died in less than a year after arriving at the border. Wasn't your father, Liang Yuyi, framed and killed by villains?"
Speaking of his father, Liang Zihu couldn't help feeling sad.
Yu Jiuer followed up the topic and asked in a fake tone, "Did your father have a little medicine boy named Xier?"
"How do you know Xi'er?" Liang Zihu jumped up like an electric shock. "My mother actually told you everything about that?"
"Yes! I told you a lot." The shameless Yu Jiuer was a master at flattering others. She continued without blushing or breathing heavily, "You and Xier..."
Looking at his expression, Yu Jiuer guessed that there must be something going on between him and Chun'er.
"That matter has been settled in the capital, why bring it up again?" Liang Zihu sat back in his chair, clutching the teacup, staring at the tea, and stopped talking.
"What if I tell you that Xier is in Yinshan County now?" Yu Jiuer threw another bomb.
Liang Zihu stood up again, and the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably: "She also came to Yinshan County? How is that possible? Don't try to bluff me!"
Yu Jiuer said casually: "Since you are here, what is impossible? Can I still tease you? Tell me in detail and I will give you some advice? It will save you the embarrassment of meeting Xier on the road one day!"
Liang Zihu stared at Yu Jiuer for a long while, and when he was sure that she had not deceived him, he sat down again, sighed, and said: "Back then, there was a girl in my Liang family palace who was a noble concubine, and my father and I were both imperial doctors highly regarded by the emperor. Our imperial doctor Liang Mansion was extremely glorious!
Five years ago, my wife passed away, and my mother wanted to find me a new wife. She chose a noble lady from an official family, but Xier knelt at my feet and said that she had admired me for a long time and only asked me to take her as a concubine after I got married. Unfortunately, the noble lady saw us, and the marriage was aborted.
Liang Zihu paused and said nothing. The clever Yu Jiuer guessed something from his few words and asked, "It is a serious crime for a servant of a wealthy family to covet his master, right? Has Xier been punished?"
"Yes, my mother ordered her to be beaten half to death, and said a lot of ugly things to insult her! ... You also know that in such a prominent family, maids not only have no status and dignity, but they don't even have their own lives. It's common for them to be beaten to death by their masters."
"Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
"How could that be? I have liked Xier for a long time, but due to my status, my family would never agree, so I could only bury my feelings deep in my heart and never dared to break that window paper. But I didn't expect Xier to be so bold."
Yu Jiuer asked: "So Xier is so brave? How did Xier escape?"
In this world, women are already harshly criticized, let alone women of humble status?
Yu Jiuer could imagine how much courage Xier must have mustered to challenge secular ethics and pursue her love.
It seems that she has good taste, and she can even choose a maid as this rare and brave person in ancient times.
Yu Jiuer suddenly looked towards Liangzihu with some disdain. How could a 35-year-old widower with a 10-year-old daughter be worthy of her clever and loyal Chun'er?
In addition, Chun'er has been following the old imperial physician since she was a child, and has learned a lot from him, so she can be considered a half-doctor and is very adept at various dietary therapies. Such a talent is worthy of Liangzi Lake, which is like a flower stuck in cow dung.
"I knelt in the rain for a whole day and a night, threatening to die and swearing that I would never take Xier as a concubine, before I saved her. Later, my family sold her while I was on duty in the palace. I searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her. I was always worried about her." Liang Zihu said as he started crying.
"You're regretting it now. What should you have done earlier? Isn't it because you weren't brave enough? If you had eloped with Xier at that time, you might have a lot of children now!" Yu Jiuer snorted coldly. Those who don't dare to go against the secular ethics deserve not to be able to get married!
"Elope? This...you..." Liang Zihu looked at Yu Jiuer in shock. She was a girl, only eighteen years old, how could she have such a shocking idea?
And you say it so confidently, as if it is a matter of course?
"Pedant! Cowardly!" Yu Jiuer knew what he was thinking from his expression and couldn't help scolding him, "You are not worthy of my Xi'er."
"Your Xi'er?" Liang Zihu's eyes widened, and he became anxious. He bowed to Yu Jiu'er and said, "County Magistrate Yu, my good county magistrate, please tell me where Xi'er is now?"
Yu Jiuer crossed her arms and stared at him again and again, deliberately leaving him alone to make him more anxious.
"I swear, if Xier appears in front of me now, I will risk my life to elope with her!" Liang Zihu was forced to blush and speak incoherently.
"It's too late! Why didn't you risk your life at that time? Now that you've become a prisoner, why are you still eloping? Do you want to cause me to lose my official hat?" Yu Jiuer couldn't help but kick him.
Seeing his bereaved face, she couldn't bear it after all. She sighed and said, "Xi'er is now my maid Chun'er. When you have time, learn from General Cheng how to please girls, so that you don't have to be a widower for the rest of your life. Come back to my Chun'er after you have learned it, and don't make her sad again!"
She herself has not found love, and she feels regretful about it. She only hopes that everyone around her can find their true love.
After a few days, all the rice was harvested.
Everyone could finally take a breath and start wandering around the county town.
Especially the new people are curious about everything in the county.
Seeing the waterwheel driving the stone roller to thresh grains for the first time, everyone was so surprised that they were speechless and could not help but praise:
"This is amazing! Even in Jiangnan, we have never seen an instrument that can thresh grains so quickly!"
"You just arrived and don't understand. There are more amazing things than this. The biogas digester invented by adults can now produce a large amount of biogas. It can be used to boil water and cook without firewood. It's amazing!"
"The faucets and water tanks in the dormitory building are also very interesting. I just came down from upstairs. I'll take you to the dormitory building to broaden your horizons later?"
"There are so many rare things here, such as hot air balloons flying in the sky and potatoes and tomatoes growing on the ground. If we hadn't come to Yinshan County, we would probably never have seen them in our lifetime."
"There are also bees. This is the first time I know that bees can be artificially raised. The honey is sweet with a floral scent. The adults gave each of our households a can. My mother couldn't bear to eat it after she took it home."
......
Such praise spread throughout the entire county. Chun'er and Xia'er, who were Yu Jiuer's personal maids, felt proud of it. They also benefited from it when walking in the county, and received warm greetings and respect from the people.
The old lady of the Liang family stared at Chun'er, who was full of confidence and chatting and laughing with the people in the distance, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings!
Among this group of new people, there was a most special person. She was a former noble lady of the first rank and a close friend of the current empress dowager - Madam Kong Hui.
She set up a women's embroidery workshop in the capital, carried forward her ancestral embroidery skills, and taught them to her female disciples without reservation, encouraging women to become self-reliant.
The women who benefited from her were all over the country of Dadong Dynasty.
If she had not been implicated by her husband's family, she would not have been reduced to closing her embroidery workshop and traveling around the people to promote embroidery skills.
Yu Jiuer respected such people. When she first arrived in Yinshan County, she went to Jiulipo to greet him in person.
However, as soon as Mrs. Kong Hui arrived in Yinshan County, she was busy setting up an embroidery workshop and did not participate in any of everyone's activities. At this moment, listening to everyone's exaggerated discussions, she looked disapproving.
The proud girl couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she went back home and continued to do her own thing.
