Chapter 53 Preparing a Dowry for Da Mao
The peach tree is young and tender, its blossoms are bright and beautiful, as the third month draws to a close.
That day, after dinner, Uncle Liu said that someone from the Qian family was looking for Mu Huaisheng.
Xiao Qianyan accompanied Mu Huaisheng to see Uncle An.
It turned out to be Master and Uncle Qin.
Mu Huaisheng quickly told Uncle Liu, then grabbed Xiao Qianyan and got into the carriage.
Upon arriving at the Qian family's guest hall, Mu Huaisheng saw his master, senior uncle, and Doctor Qian. He rushed over and knelt down.
It turned out that the villagers were talking about it the very next day after that day.
It was evening when the village chief and Liang San's family arrived in the village.
When Dr. Gao saw this at the village entrance, he went to ask what was going on, but no one spoke. So Dr. Gao asked the village head next to him.
The village chief sighed and heard the whole story.
When Dr. Gao heard that Wuya was on her last breath, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Struggling to find Liang San to settle accounts and ask him...
"Liang Laosan, you beast, do you have any conscience at all?"
With silver tucked into his pocket and his face still stinging, Liang San retorted defiantly:
"Dr. Gao, you and Wu Ya haven't formally kowtowed and become his disciples."
Why act like a superior?
It's not your place to come and settle scores with me!
This made Doctor Gao so angry that he felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
The family walked away, and the village chief helped him back and tried to persuade him.
After the village chief left, Doctor Gao locked the door and went to his uncle's house that very night.
After a day and a night's journey, Dr. Gao arrived outside Laiyang County at noon the next day.
The people waiting on the official road quickly stopped them.
They helped him sit down at the tea shop by the roadside, explained the whole story to him, and let him eat, drink, and rest.
He was also told not to go to Master Qin.
The main concern is the Liang family; I suspect that Doctor Gao will ask Uncle Qin's family to find someone.
They'll come to the Qin family and cause trouble, demanding their daughter.
The man advised:
"The Qin family didn't know, but when they found out immediately, they must have been furious."
The Qin family is not to be trifled with. The Liang family suffered a loss at the Qin family's hands, and they know that you haven't gone after them, so they won't bother them anymore.
Go back home with peace of mind. You can discuss this matter with the Qin family when you have the chance. The Qin family will naturally be on guard afterward.
"Wait another year or two, until things have calmed down, then you can go to the Qian family to find Wu Ya."
So they didn't come out until after the New Year.
As a result, when he got to his senior brother's place, he had his own courtyard and shop.
The shop had already made a month's income and had hired a servant, so they named the child Gao Anping.
Seeing how kind and gentle the doctor was, Gao Anping became even more devoted to him.
After leaving Anping to look after the house, Doctor Gao and his Uncle Qin went to find Doctor Qian to see Mu Huaisheng.
I heard Dr. Qian tell me what happened afterward, and what his current name is.
The doctor saw the child kneeling before him, who had grown considerably taller.
She helped him up with a pained expression, then scolded him:
"Huaisheng, that big man said you were just putting on an act and that your injuries weren't serious. He was actually trying to frame this old man!"
After saying a few words, he couldn't bear to scold her.
"Is your injury fully healed?"
Mu Huaisheng quickly spun around and laughed:
"With a miracle doctor like Grandpa Qian here, how could things not get better? It's really not that serious! Uncle Gao~"
Dr. Qian knew that she had damaged her foundation, and although she looked fine, she was still recovering. He also knew the child's feelings, so he didn't expose her.
After a long separation, they talked for a long time, and then Doctor Gao took out a bag of money:
"This is the money you deposited with me. After paying those ungrateful bastards, there are forty-five taels left, and it's all here."
Mu Huaisheng accepted it with a smile, thanking Doctor Gao with a grin. It was late at night before Mu Huaisheng returned to the Marquis's residence.
Dr. Qian left his two old friends here for two days.
Mu Huaisheng came to have lunch every day, but on the third day, the two of them insisted on going back.
Doctor Gao said to Doctor Qian:
“Brother, this child is so filial. He has thought of everything so thoroughly for me, so I went back to the pastoral village and moved my things here.”
If you encounter that heartless family, give them another piece of your mind.
From then on, I became neighbors with my senior brother, and I had more opportunities to visit him.
In the future, my senior brother will practice medicine at your clinic for a period of time, and then he will practice medicine at your clinic for a period of time.
"Just come often in the future, please don't bother me, old brother."
"In that case, I will not keep you here."
Get it done quickly, so we can get together more often.
Dr. Gao bought a donkey cart to move things back to the pastoral village; he would also need it when he lived in the county.
When he moved, everyone came to ask why he was moving. Doctor Gao angrily replied:
“That child’s monthly allowance goes through my hands every month and is given to those heartless bastards.”
The child is probably gone, but the people here are fine, and they suffer every day they live here.
I originally moved from the county, and now that I'm old, why would I go back to the county?
No one dared to say anything, and very few people spoke about Liang San's family.
Thanks to the Liang family, they had saved some money in the past few years, and their situation had improved a lot.
In the village, those who are openly gossiped about are basically the poorest people in the village.
And so, Dr. Gao moved to Laiyang County.
After moving, I made another trip to Panlong County.
Qian Erlang's second son was born. There was no big celebration, just a meal with some close friends to make it a lively occasion.
I was thinking of treating them properly next week.
Everyone brought gifts and made a lively scene. Doctor Gao and Uncle Qin stayed another day before leaving.
At the end of April, Uncle Qian contacted Mu Huaisheng, saying there was a shop that would be very suitable, so he took him to see it.
It's a shop on a street in the residential area of the east side of the city.
The shop was quite large, with a long and narrow courtyard of about forty square meters in the back, along with a well and three main rooms.
In addition, the outhouses were all well repaired, but the kitchen was a bit small.
It's not in the city center, and the price isn't expensive either. All the furniture inside is included, and the minimum price is 180 taels.
Mu Huaisheng bought it and paid the money and completed the formalities that same day.
They also asked Uncle Liu to find someone to rebuild the kitchen and outhouse on the courtyard wall, and bought all the necessary cooking utensils and pots for less than twenty taels of silver.
Mu Huaisheng gave Uncle Liu twenty-two taels of silver as a token of his gratitude for Uncle Liu's help.
When Uncle Liu tried to decline, Mu Huaisheng mentioned:
"Uncle Liu, you're also Da Mao's matchmaker. There's so much more we need to thank you for!"
Uncle Liu accepted it with a smile after hearing this.
By May, the woman's morning sickness had mostly subsided, and the pregnancy was very stable.
The noblewoman then consulted with Mu Huaisheng, wanting to return to the capital to prepare for childbirth and requesting that Mu Huaisheng accompany her for consultations.
Mu Huaisheng smiled and said:
"What's there to discuss? You walk with such confidence these days. If you'd like, you could ride a horse to the capital to give birth."
"Of course I'm going. Nobody in Panlong County will pay me this much!"
The lady laughed so hard she bent over backwards.
Mu Huaisheng went to say goodbye to the Qian family again, and then to say goodbye to the four maids.
The four girls have all changed a lot; Da Mao has already started doing embroidery.
Since the beginning of the year, Er Ya has been diligently learning embroidery and is about to graduate.
The three girls even took the initiative to learn to read and do arithmetic from Da Mao.
Mu Huaisheng then bought them a copy of the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic.
Let Da Mao learn first, then teach them; ask Uncle Liu if they don't understand.
