Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 403 Proposal

Otherwise, given the distance between them, even if a matchmaker came to propose marriage, he would not think of proposing marriage from their Xinghua Village to Sanyuan Village.

Song Ying thought it made sense, and sighed softly, "Let's wait and see what Sister Xiao Cui can find out. I hope Aunt Zhang is just well-informed and far-sighted."

After entering the city, when passing by a restaurant in Zhuangyuanfang, I suddenly heard Song Tian's voice, "No more words, no more words, everything is in the wine, drink!"

Song and Luo looked over and saw Song Tian in the empty restaurant with a flushed face and a dazed look in his eyes. His hand holding the wine bowl kept shaking. Except for him and a young man, everyone else at the table was drunk and snoring.

So-called resting at a friend's house doesn't mean just drinking here all night?

"That seems to be Song Tian. Do you want to take care of it?" Luo Yanxing asked.

Song Ying curled her lips, "I can't control him, let's go, out of sight, out of mind."

Since childhood, Song Tian has always said that she was occupying the magpie's nest and was acting like a good girl. It seemed that all the beatings he got were because she was pretending to be a good girl. She had no respect for her cousin at all. How could she control him?

Besides, since Uncle Song and the others thought that this was his son's ability and didn't care about the matter, why should she interfere and cause trouble?

"I'm going to the clinic now. You can walk back slowly. You must be tired after all this time. Or you can have a meal with me in the clinic and then walk back slowly. It won't matter if you lose one day of business."

Luo Yanxing waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll go back to open the shop. Anyway, I'll just sit when there are no customers, so I'm not tired at all. Besides, I still have to make lunch for Tangtang. The sun is good today, I'll go back early to open the shop so that it can go to the tree to bask in the sun."

Thinking of Tangtang, Song Ying stopped trying to persuade her and instead urged her, "Then go back quickly."

After Luo Yan left, Song Ying thought for a while, walked into the restaurant and ordered a few dishes in advance, asking the shopkeeper to prepare them and send them to the clinic, and also asked Song Tian to cook some radish soup to help him sober up, so that he wouldn't drink to death.

Then she went back to the clinic and saw Doctor Ma and Lin Wenxuan were both treating patients, so she took the prescription and went to get the medicine.

At lunch, Lin Wenxuan said, "Junior sister, go back and talk to Yan Xing today. I'm afraid we don't have time to grind shell powder during this period. Someone from the government came today and asked us to go to the examination hall to wait for the doctor on the day of the county exam. We have to be busy preparing medicine during this free time."

Song Ying was stunned for a moment, and asked hurriedly: "Do you want to make pills that can be brought into the examination room? The weather is still cold recently, do you need to make some pills to treat colds and reduce fever?"

"Pills, pills?" Lin Wenxuan was stunned. "No one said to treat with pills. Pills will lose their effect if they are kept for a long time. Besides, it is difficult to prepare the medicine according to each person's condition."

Doctor Ma said sternly, "Don't use pills. This is an imperial examination. If someone uses our pills to cheat, it will implicate us."

Although Song Ying thought it made sense, he immediately thought about how cold it was in the morning. Candidates were already nervous during the county exam, and after the clothes were undressed and searched, there was no guarantee that some of them would suddenly fall ill. He couldn't help but worry: "What if someone falls ill in the exam room?"

"If the case is not too serious, just bear with it. If it is too serious, you will have to give up the exam and come out to get treatment." Doctor Ma is quite experienced in this regard. When he was a medicine boy, he also went to wait for diagnosis outside the Imperial Examination Hall during the metropolitan examinations and the palace examinations.

Not to mention getting sick, I've even experienced a fire in the examination room.

Song Ying stared in astonishment. "Is it so strict? I have studied so hard for so long. If I miss the exam due to illness, won't I have to wait another three years?"

After thinking for a while, she said, "Master, let's make the medicine smaller, like a mung bean. It can't have paper stuck in it, right?"

Doctor Ma still shook his head, "We don't make any money from this, and we don't want to go through the trouble."

"Okay, then I'll make some for my friends, is this okay?"

Doctor Ma naturally knew who the friend she was talking about was, so he said, "As long as your friend doesn't cheat, it's fine."

Song Ying still trusted Yuan Qing, so he said, "He won't. By the way, Uncle Master, instead of making pills, can we sell ginger slices?"

"Ginger slices?"

"Yes, one by one. You can't use this to cheat. Soak ginger slices in hot water to dispel cold and warm the body. It's perfect for preventing colds. We don't charge much. Two or three slices only cost 1 cent. Any educated person can afford it."

Lin Wenxuan's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously at Doctor Ma, "Master, this is a good idea!"

"What's wrong with that? They are going to take the county exam. Some people don't even drink water when they are thirsty, and they often want to go to the toilet after drinking ginger soup. How can they take the exam like this?" Doctor Ma glared at him, "Don't mess around with your junior sister."

"You have to endure this?" Song Ying was a little shocked, and then said, "If it were me, I would rather go to the toilet a few more times than catch a cold. If I get a headache and dizziness, I won't be able to write a good article no matter how talented I am.

Uncle, let's prepare some more ginger slices and bring them over. If they don't buy any, we can just take them back and use them as medicine. It won't delay anything."

"Okay, okay, you two go ahead and do what you want." Doctor Ma didn't want to waste any more words with them. He ate the rest of the rice in the bowl in a few bites, and went to the yard to bask in the sun while there were no patients around.

Song Ying thought about what he said about going to the toilet, and suddenly he thought of a plan. He also finished the rice in his bowl in a few bites, threw down his chopsticks and ran to the next room: "Brother, I'm done eating. I'll go find Aunt Chen."

As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared at the door.

There was no one in the shop in front of the Chen family. I guess Aunt Chen was also eating at this time.

"Auntie Chen! Auntie Chen!" she shouted as she went inside.

Aunt Chen came out with a bowl of rice. "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry? Do you want to buy candied fruit?"

Song Ying shook his head, "Do you know about the county exam in a while?"

"I know. Didn't the officials come to look for your uncle this morning? I heard it was on the 17th of this month."

Song Ying chuckled, "In order to avoid going to the toilet, the candidates will try not to drink water. Auntie, you can make some sour preserves to sell. They will quench your thirst and will definitely sell well!"

Aunt Chen hesitated, "Isn't it allowed to sell things in the examination hall?"

"You can sell them in advance. After you make them, go to where the scholars live a few days in advance to sell them. No matter how stingy the family is on weekdays, as long as there are candidates in their family, they will definitely be happy to buy some. Your business will definitely be good!"

Aunt Chen's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Oh, why didn't I think of that? All right, Aunt Chen will make it tonight and sell it outside Jiahu Academy and Qingshui Academy!"

"Then Auntie, remember to choose the right fruits and wash them several times. If someone gets sick from eating them in the examination room and ruins other people's future, that would be terrible!" Song Ying reminded again.

Aunt Chen patted her chest and said, "You have been doing business for decades, relying on your conscience. Don't worry, there will be no bad results!"

Song Ying felt relieved and decided to prepare some for Yuan Qing as well.
