Chapter 208: Sooner or later you will suffer a loss
On the way back, Xie Tu was able to express his doubts, "What do you want those things for? You don't really plan to become a female doctor!"
Xie Songhua came here today not to see how the store was doing. The most important thing was that she needed many things that could only be purchased through this store.
Today she came back with a set of silver needles, but if you want to have surgery, you still need a lot of things!
What's more, in this era, whether it is sterile or not depends on fate, but Ma Fei Powder always has to find a way to see if it can be made. Otherwise, except Guan Yu, who can endure such pain?
"It's not that I want to be a female doctor, it's just a hobby. Look at how you embroider and play the piano every day. Then I can't do it either! You can't let me study every day!"
Xie Tu looked shocked, "Don't you like reading very much?"
Xie Songhua didn't know how to refute it for a while. It seemed that this hard-working image had been firmly established.
But that is clearly a need and obligation in life, and it is two different things from interest!
Seeing her like this, Xie Tu quickly smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Since my second uncle can give you this shop, it means that he has no objection. Anyway, it won't be a big problem if you don't kill people!"
Xie Songhua immediately took out the set of silver needles and said, "Speaking of this, I just remembered, Xiao Liu, can you help me?"
"Wha...what?"
Xie Tu had a bad premonition for no reason.
Then he saw Xie Songhua pull out a silver needle and said, "I'm not very skilled at this thing. Why don't you let me try it on you first? Otherwise, what if I kill someone later?"
"ah!"
Xie Tu was immediately frightened and turned pale. He almost ran away, but he was on a carriage again. He had nowhere to go and could only hide.
The conscience of heaven and earth, this is the first time Xie Songhua has seen Xie Tu lose his composure.
This farce finally ended with Xie Songhua laughing.
Since it was an excuse to go out to buy rouge, the two of them had to bring two boxes for An and Xie Songhua when they returned home, so the two sisters continued to go to the rouge shop.
Xie Songhua was not very good at this kind of thing, so he just sat by the street-facing window on the second floor of the shop and drank tea, letting Xie Tu slowly pick at the other end.
This street is not far from Xie's Mansion. It is full of shops and very lively.
This was the first time that Xie Songhua had the opportunity to observe the streets of this era so comfortably.
It has to be said that even in ancient times, the excitement of this capital city was not much worse than in modern times.
This street is almost a four-lane street in later generations. Although carriages often pass by, the speed is very slow, and the ears are filled with the sounds of various transactions.
She even saw a woman running a shop. The shop selling wooden combs opposite was a female shopkeeper.
It turns out that the rules of this world for women only exist in the homes of these wealthy families.
If she were not the daughter of the Xie family, I wonder if she could start a business here with some of her own ideas from later generations.
However, this kind of thought can only be thought about. In this era, there were distinct classes of scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants. No matter how big the business was, they were still inferior to others and could not even wear silk and satin clothes openly.
Her identity as a girl from the Xie family blocked this possibility.
Xie Songhua was leisurely admiring the sights of the people on the street, but she didn't know that there was a person on the corner of the street staring at her intently.
The young man wears a straight green cloth jacket, cloth shoes on his feet, and no ornaments. His brows are delicate and slightly angular, and his eyes are particularly clear, like the cold stars in the morning.
He stood there like a green bamboo pole. Even though he was dressed very ordinary, he could not be underestimated.
"What is Saburo looking at?"
A middle-aged woman in a sarong came over carrying a baggage. Seeing him standing by the roadside, she couldn't help but follow his gaze.
Chen Liu came back to his senses and smiled faintly, "Nothing, I just looked at that girl and she looked a bit like Yao Niang."
After hearing this, Aunt Chen frowned and looked over, then waved her hands and said, "How is that possible! Yao Niang is a wild girl who grew up in the countryside. Where did she get that kind of bearing? Look at her, even though she is wearing a curtain and hat, you can't see her face clearly.
, but the clothes she wears, the way she sits, and the way she drinks tea, are more expensive than the young ladies from our county’s family, and she looks like the daughter of a wealthy family.”
While she was speaking, Chen Liu had already turned around.
Aunt Chen quickly chased after her, "Hey, Sanlang, what you said made me think of it. Aren't Yao Niang's biological parents high-ranking officials in the capital? It's their surname... what's their surname?"
She was still thinking hard when she heard Chen Liu's cold voice saying: "She has returned to her biological parents, and we are no longer the same people. Mother, don't think about these things anymore."
"Hey, you kid, why are you so arrogant? That Yao Niang's biological father is a high-ranking official. He can introduce you to the world at any time. Maybe you will take the exam next year..."
"Mother!" Chen Liu stopped and looked at her sternly, "What kind of place is this in the capital? Since her original family is a wealthy official family, she, a girl who grew up in the countryside, might encounter something bad when she goes back. There are so many people in this world.
It's snobbery.
Don't think too much about her, and don't write back to inquire about her family background."
Aunt Chen had an idea before she could think about it, but her son saw it through. She had a sneer on her face, but she was still unconvinced in her heart, "But back then in our village, my wife clearly liked you, but this time you are in Qiuwei
If you do well in the exam, maybe..."
She couldn't continue her next words under her son's cold eyes, so she could only follow him into the alley in dismay.
This is all fate. Who would have thought that the little girl from the Jiang family is actually the daughter of a high official in the capital?
She liked her son so much back then, and she could tell that her son also liked the doll.
But the Jiang family is a desperate family!
How could such a girl be willing to get married?
Is it possible that she still wants her Saburo to barge in the door?
It took three generations of the Chen family to provide such a scholar. Even the county magistrate said that his son was gifted and a good scholar.
Not to mention that the Jiang family was about to recruit a new wife, even if the Jiang family had a son and could betroth their daughter to him, she would not agree.
Didn’t you see that the county magistrate’s daughter’s eyes lit up when she saw her son?
My son can marry a girl from the county magistrate's family, how could he be allowed to marry such a wild girl?
But who would have thought that there would be such a change later!
If the marriage has been decided early, how can a high official ignore his son-in-law?
When it comes to the capital city, it depends on connections and resources.
Pity the Chen family, who have been farmers for generations, where do they have any relatives who live in the capital?
All they got was a letter of recommendation from the prefect. A prefect was naturally a high official in their place, but in the capital, he was nothing.
The more I think about Mrs. Chen, the more uncomfortable I feel. Then I think about Mrs. Jiang Yao. Even in the village, she was the best one. No wonder her temperament is different from that of the other girls!
It turned out to be a natural seed from your noble family! I regret it!
When Xie Songhua and Xie Tu returned to the house, they checked everyone who knew they were out.
Mrs. An was really happy to see that they knew how to bring gifts.
When Xie Songhua was about to leave, he suddenly asked her to stay, "Four girls, don't leave yet. I happen to have something to ask you."
