Chapter 250 Liu Xuewen is getting married
"Young lady, please come up quickly so we can get to the clinic as soon as possible."
My master recently caught a cold and can't stand the cold, so my daughter had to sit with me on the edge of the car.
Mu Qing shook her head and sat on the edge of the car. Having a car to ride in was much faster than walking.
Besides, given her current condition, she probably wouldn't be able to walk to Taka on her own. Now that she has a car to ride in, she should be grateful, not complain!
With the clatter of the carriage, they soon arrived at Taka.
At this point, Mu Qing was beginning to lose consciousness.
Seeing her like this, Su San quickly found the nearest clinic, took her inside, and then left.
In a daze, Mu Qing heard herself in the clinic and then fell into a deep sleep.
"Water! Water!"
"you're awake!"
The female healer, Ayim, brought a glass of water, helped Mu Qing up, and handed it to her.
Mu Qing took it and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey, slow down, don't choke."
"Thank you, where am I?"
Mu Qing looked around and observed the layout, which resembled a medical clinic.
“You were brought here by a young master at the Weimin Medical Clinic. You had been unconscious for a day and a night. Your master said you would wake up today, and you actually did.”
Ayim said excitedly, "It seems I still have a lot to learn."
"you are?"
Looking at the cheerful and beautiful woman in front of him, Mu Qing asked in confusion.
“I am a female doctor at the People’s Medical Clinic, and also an apprentice. My name is Ayim.”
"Aymu, thank you. Where is the young master who brought me here?"
"Oh, they left that day. Don't worry, he left ten taels of silver, which is enough for your medical expenses these few days."
Seeing that Mu Qing was dressed in dirty clothes, Ayim assumed that Mu Qing's family was not well-off and that she would have frozen to death outside if she hadn't met the kind young master.
Every winter, many people freeze to death here.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. You should get some rest. I'm going to get back to work."
Ayim left after she finished speaking.
Mu Qing then got out of bed. She hadn't eaten for several days, and now her stomach was rumbling.
She took out a silver leaf that was hidden in her clothes.
All she wants to do right now is eat!
Stepping out of the clinic, it was snowing lightly outside, and white smoke drifted in the distance.
It's a mutton stall.
"Boss, a bowl of mutton soup and a naan bread, please."
There are no wontons or porridge here.
Those expensive foods were only affordable for wealthy families; ordinary people could only afford beef and mutton.
The Arctic is not suitable for growing grains like wheat and rice; it only has vast grasslands, which are only suitable for raising cattle and sheep.
After eating and drinking my fill, I let out a satisfied burp.
She wouldn't normally behave so rudely, but this time she was just so hungry, even hungrier than before the family split up.
"How much, boss?"
"Sir, thirty copper coins."
Mu Qing handed over the silver leaves, each worth one qian (a unit of weight).
"Boss, which way is Sifang Hot Pot Restaurant?"
"Just keep walking along this road, the tallest building is the Sifang Hot Pot Restaurant. Here's your change of sixty-five copper coins, please keep it safe."
Mu Qing took the money and headed in the direction the shopkeeper had indicated.
If it weren't for a kind person who brought her to Taka, she probably would have died in the Arctic. After contacting her uncle, she's going home now; it's been almost a year since she left.
She misses her mother!
Lost in her thoughts, Mu Qing arrived at the Sifang Hot Pot restaurant.
Looking at the large, elegant characters on the doorplate, she couldn't help but feel her eyes well up with tears.
She composed herself and stepped inside!
Song Jiaojiao was unaware of all this; she was currently so busy she wanted to fly.
She suspected that the emperor was tormenting her by granting her the fiefdom. Why hadn't anyone said anything before? Why was managing a county such a complicated matter?!
She couldn't even remember the last time she had slept in.
The stars shift and time flies.
And so, on New Year's Eve, they entered the palace again to attend the palace banquet.
This time, the one by the Emperor's side is Consort Xi.
I've never met Consort Xi, Song Jiaojiao. She must be the Emperor's new favorite concubine!
No matter how much the emperor favors a new concubine, the empress will always be by his side.
After presenting the sugar-making recipe last time, Song Jiaojiao's relationship with the Empress became even closer.
In addition, there's the collaboration between Song Jiaojiao, Liu Xuewen, and the Banrixian store.
The relationship was already close; in this world, only interests can keep people together.
During her trip back to Beijing, Song Jiaojiao heard some news.
It is said that Liu Xuewen is getting married; his future wife is the legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official.
She was personally selected by the Empress Dowager, and it was an imperial decree issued by her.
At first, Song Jiaojiao was puzzled as to why the Empress Dowager would choose the daughter of such a low-ranking official for Liu Xuewen, until she heard Wang Yan's analysis and then she understood.
It turns out that this Crown Princess is the niece of the mighty General Han Shuo.
That's how Song Jiaojiao understood.
I didn't expect the struggle for the throne to begin so early.
Despite living a carefree life for so many years, Liu Xuewen still couldn't escape the fate of sacrificing himself for his family.
After the palace banquet, Song Jiaojiao met Liu Xuewen during a half-day of leisure.
The two went to a teahouse and sat down.
"Sister Song, time flies! It's been three years since we met!"
Liu Xuewen stared at the teacup in front of him, somewhat dazed.
I remembered my father's words.
“Xuewen, you are thirty-two years old now. We haven’t forced you to do anything all these years. We’ve always let you do as you please.”
However, the emperor is now old and recently fell ill, so the position of crown prince, which should have belonged to the eldest prince, has not been granted.
Father is also afraid. The Liu family only has official titles, not real power. He fears that one day the Emperor will suspect them and they will all die a gruesome death.
Liu Xuewen looked at his father's graying temples and thought, "Yes!"
He's already 32. People who got married early are almost grandfathers, but he's still single and his parents are worried about him.
Of the three filial duties, the greatest is having no offspring.
“My son! Your aunt, the Empress Dowager, has chosen a fine girl for you. She is the niece of a mighty general, and her family has a fifth-rank official. She is an exceptionally good person. This time, please don't refuse. Your father is getting old and doesn't have many years left. I still want to…”
"it is good."
The old prince was still immersed in his own world when he was stunned to hear Liu Xuewen agree.
Then he burst into laughter, so happy he couldn't describe it.
"You agreed? Good, good! That's good!"
………………
"That's pretty fast. I heard you're getting married?"
Yes, she's been here for over four years, but the promised retirement life has nowhere to be seen.
"Yes, I've met that girl. She's a good girl," Liu Xuewen replied calmly, not at all like someone who was about to have a happy occasion.
Looking at Liu Xuewen like this, Song Jiaojiao didn't know what to say.
Every family has its own troubles, and those in high positions sometimes have no say in things they can do.
Liu Xuewen was fortunate to have been free for at least ten years.
"It's okay, marriage is something everyone goes through. It doesn't matter who you marry."
Seeing Song Jiaojiao looking at him with sympathy, Liu Xuewen comforted himself and said...
"Yes, since you don't have an official position, you can still travel around. You can bring your wife with you when you come."
Unlike me, I'm currently stuck between Tong'an County and Shangjing, going back and forth several times a year, with absolutely no freedom!
Song Jiaojiao felt like crying when she thought about how many more years this kind of life would last!
