Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "It sounds like if your family doesn't farm, food will fall from the sky."

Little did she know that Ning Ansheng, who couldn't wait for her to come home at this time, happened to hear this conversation clearly. His eyes changed several times, and finally he pursed his lips and stepped forward to protect his sister behind him.

"Since I consider myself a scholar, I invite my sister-in-law to go back and learn from my uncle what is etiquette, justice and shame."

Aunt Ning was so angry that she fell down. However, she couldn't say so much about them, and their strength levels were so different that she ran away crying in anger.

What no one knew was that she was so hot-headed when she returned to her old house that she begged Old Man Ning and his wife to propose marriage for her.

Mrs. Ning was quite happy at first: "Are there any candidates you like on the lists sent by the matchmaker?"

I don’t know what she was thinking. She knew she had nothing, but she relied on Ning Laosan’s illusory fame to really take herself seriously. She also put on airs to help Aunt Ning choose a son-in-law and let the matchmaker do it. Send her a list of young people to be married to choose from.

I don't know where this Aunt Ning got her confidence from. She really spent every day in the room studying who was worthy of her.

When she heard her mother asking her question, she felt embarrassed and gave a shocking answer: "Yes, I think that young man from the Zhao family is quite good. Mother, please let him come and propose marriage to me."

When Mrs. Ning thought of Rong Yan, she felt a chill in her back: "Why did you fall in love with that outsider? He is a hunter who depends on the mountains. He doesn't even have a decent field at home. If you marry him, aren't you destined to suffer hardships?"

Aunt Ning patted her chest: "Mom, don't worry, my daughter is not an idiot who will never succeed. I have already thought of what you said. You see, his family is a hunter now, but didn't they say that the family was rich in the past? Again? No matter how we were affected by the famine, the foundation is still there. Didn’t Second Aunt say it before? They and the Ning family eat meat every meal and have good food."

She rolled her eyes: "I guess they pretended to be poor in order not to expose their wealth. That family is quite wealthy."

Mrs. Ning was worried: "Isn't this all your guess?"

Aunt Ning looked down on her mother's vision: "Then I'm not just guessing. If his family had no money, how could they support so many guards? Besides, with those servants here, no matter farming or hunting, Can you, the master, still suffer yourself?"

"When I get married, I will be their mistress. I won't have to worry about having no one to do the work at home, and I won't have to worry about having no one to plant the land. You and dad just want to enjoy the blessings of becoming a master and his wife. How wonderful!"

Mrs. Ning was really impressed.

To be honest, after the second house was divided, she was most worried about the busy farming season. She had not done heavy work for several years when the big house was there, and she was not used to going to the fields all of a sudden. She didn't want to follow the old man at all. It's so tiring to serve the crops.

But if you don’t work, what will you eat in the coming year? There were only a few dozen taels of silver left at home, and when I went back to buy the third child some school attire, there wasn't much left.

After thinking about it, she felt that her daughter's choice was good: "Okay, I'll go and reply to the matchmaker right now, but Zhao Yan is a bit young, right?"

I don't know about Aunt Ning. Anyway, he is quite tall, maybe about the same age as Dalang Ning. Although he is a little smaller than her, as the saying goes: "It doesn't matter if a female junior holds a gold brick. It's a big deal." Let’s get engaged first, and I’ll wait for him for a few more years.”

Mrs. Ning was right in thinking that it would be better to get engaged. If there was a better choice later, she would just kick him.

At this time, Rong Yan, who was explaining the reason for Xiaoxiao's late return to the Ning family, suddenly felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but tremble. When Xiaoxiao saw this, he asked quickly: "Are you catching a cold?"

Ning Fengnian glared at her angrily: "You're not the one who got involved!"

To tell lies, you have to mix the truth with the lies, so they only said that they saw Lei Shaoming, who had an issue with Xiaoxiao, when they were walking, so they hid deliberately and delayed their return home.

Rong Yan shook his head: "You can't blame Miss Ning for this. It was Lei Shaoming who was domineering and rude and provoked first. He was the one who was wrong."

Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, like a follower who was wound up.

Ning Ansheng had no reason to find this scene dazzling, so he suppressed his doubts and stared at Xiaoxiao quietly until Rong Yan said goodbye and left.

Xiaoxiao raised his hands in surrender: "Brother, I don't expect to be able to hide this from you. I will explain everything to you."

After hearing the whole story, Ning Ansheng first asked: "Where is the man you saved?"

Xiaoxiao said: "Leave it to County Magistrate Shen and take him away. He will send someone overnight to ask for Dr. Gongsun, hoping to save him."

She felt that the Lei family were not good people. If she could save the young man, she might be able to bring them down with proof of their evil deeds, so that she would not have to worry about retaliation in the future.

"Brother, will you think I'm meddling in other people's business and causing trouble?"

Ning Ansheng sighed: "The Lei family and our family have been at odds since the incident with the sour bamboo shoots. We are destined not to be on good terms with each other. If we don't mess with each other, we can't avoid this trouble." This conflict was forced by the Lei family. , and did not give their family the right to choose. Furthermore, if the sister had not chosen to hide with the boy at that time, but appeared in front of Lei Shaoming, I am afraid she would not have been able to escape unscathed.

He and Xiaoxiao had the same idea. There was no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If Magistrate Shen could take over the Lei family because of that young man, it would be of no harm to them.

Little did they know that this young man's life was not just about the Lei family.

Gongsun Zhongjing looked tired when he arrived, but when he saw the young man's appearance, he took out the silver needle without hesitation. After completing a set of acupuncture techniques, he was already sweating profusely: "Thanks to someone using ginseng to hang his life. Otherwise, let alone me, even if my master comes, there will be nothing we can do."

County Magistrate Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and said solemnly and respectfully: "I wonder if the miracle doctor can save this person? Shen can't go into details, but this person's life is related to the safety of countless people. I beg the miracle doctor to help!" At the same time, he handed over the long-awaited handbook. Prepared snacks - brought back from the Ning family.

Gongsun Zhongjing took a bite and nodded so neatly that Magistrate Shen, who was about to make a lengthy plea, was quite surprised. Didn't Mu Yan, the kid, say that this miracle doctor had a weird temper and was extremely difficult to take care of?

Gongsun Zhongjing, who was extremely tired, finished eating in two bites and then went to confirm that the boy was temporarily alive. He fell on the collapse and breathed evenly.

The medicine boy who had always had no sense of presence came forward to tuck him into a quilt: "Just leave the decoction to me. My young master hasn't had a good night's sleep in three days. Please let him rest for a while."

Magistrate Shen only asked the medicine boy for his opinion, leaving two government officials at the door to deal with emergencies, and then asked everyone to leave quietly.

When they were about to reach the door, the medicine boy caught up and asked in a low voice: "Master Shen, can you prepare some more snacks just now?" He said honestly, "To be honest, my master's appetite is not very good these days and I can't eat much, but just now. That snack seems to be to your liking, Master."
