    Jiang Nan March in spring, the grass grows and the warblers fly.

    The most talked about in Wanjiang County recently is the fact that the Liu family intends to recruit relatives.

    The Liu family was originally a well-known gentry family in Yunzhou, and the late Mr. Liu was once known as the number one genius doctor in Jiang Nan. Later, his son Liu Qingshan moved to Wanjiang County with his wife and daughter, and opened a medicine hall.

    Although Liu Qingshan does not have the reputation of his father, but he is also a leader with superb medical skills, and he is good at management, but he has earned a lot of money in just a few years, and the Liu family has been charitable for many years, building bridges and paving roads. All praise.

    But the only regrettable thing is that Liu Qingshan had only one daughter for many years, and his first wife died young, and he never married another concubine. After a hundred years, this family-inherited medical skill will still be such a big family business that no one will be able to inherit it.

    For this reason, the Liuzhou clan in Yunzhou sent people two or three times, and they seemed to persuade Mr. Liu to adopt a step-heir in the clan. eight.

    A certain matchmaker who had been to the Liu family said when she was gossiping with others in private, "Master Liu picked and picked, and finally picked the offspring of the Qin family in Osmanthus Lane. He plans to get engaged in the second half of the year."

    Someone was surprised when they heard it, "That's not Qin Baiyan, who was selected as a scholar two years ago, but also a young talent who was praised by the county magistrate as the number one."

    "Master Liu has a good eye, but a good young man who can read like that will be willing to marry, and he won't be afraid of a bad reputation in the future." Others couldn't help but wondered.

    In this world, it is not pleasant for a man to enter into a wife's family, but no one is willing to come to be a son-in-law for a man with a bit of family ambition.

    The matchmaker raised her eyebrows, "You don't know that, the Qin family's offspring are good, but it's a pity that the Qin family is poor, and his mother is just a medicine jar, and he has to see a doctor and take medicine every month. How can ordinary people consume it?" In the past, there were quite a lot of accounts on credit at the Liu Family Pharmacy."

    Others couldn't help sighing after hearing this, "This young man of the Qin family is really filial."

    It would be a filial piety if you are willing to marry into a husband and become a son-in-law in order to take care of your mother's illness.

    The matchmaker curled her lips again, "Besides this, no matter how smart the kid from the Qin family is and can read, he may not be able to go to high school in the future."

    Hearing that there seemed to be something inside, the other people became curious again, "So what do you say?"

    The matchmaker lowered her voice and said, "Don't look at the Qin family, mother and son depend on each other for life, but this Qin family's talent and his father are still alive, and he is still a high-ranking official in Capital City. Speaking of it, it's as if he was in a playbookChen Shimei, after high school, married the daughter of a high official, abandoned her poor wife, and even gave up her son."

    The others were amazed, they didn't expect to hear such a big melon.

    The matchmaker sighed and said, "Oh, this kid from the Qin family probably stopped at this scholar. I heard that his father and stepmother and Yue's family are ruthless, and they are trying to suppress him. He is afraid that he will take over the eldest son. Even my own father refuses to admit that I have no title and no points, how can you say that you will be admitted to the Jinshi examination in the future."

    As a matchmaker, a matchmaker has always been able to inquire about the situation of the family even the eighteen generations of the ancestors.

    The kid from the Qin family was selected as a scholar at a young age, and he looks handsome. Originally, people from all over the world were chasing after people who wanted to marry him, but once he knew this, he was discouraged. Who would dare to offend the people in Capital City?What about the high officials?

    As for a small scholar, with the little money and grain distributed by the government, I'm afraid he can't even support his family. Haven't you heard people say that a poor scholar is a master? But any better family would not let their daughter marry and suffer.

    So this young man of the Qin family looked good, and no one cared about him for a long time, until the old man of the Liu family let out the rumor of being recruited.

    The matchmaker smiled again, "Master Liu is a kind person, he only takes on the name of recruiting, and he wants to keep the family business for the only daughter, so he told the matchmaker that it is enough for a child born in the future to inherit the medical skills under the Liu family name. So it’s not exactly the best of both worlds.”

    After hearing this, everyone also praised it as a good marriage.

    ………

    Liu Yunxiu, the only daughter of the Liu family who was the one who was said to be the person involved in the marriage, was Gu Ran who had just passed through, and she was strolling outside to enjoy the scenery. This Wanjiang County is located in Jiang Nan, and it is also an authentic water town.It is also beautiful and pleasant with continuous waterfront, green willows and breeze.

    There are boat caravans all over the shore, as well as exquisite and spacious painting boats, as well as flowers, vegetables and fruits traded along the river, bamboo-carved pastries, bean tea silk floss.

    It's a pity that the original owner always stayed at home and never saw this scene.

    The little maid Xing'er who followed beside her couldn't help but said, "Miss, the sun is so hot outside, why don't we go back earlier."

    Seeing that the normally frail young lady went shopping for such a long day today, Xing'er felt frightened, fearing that the young lady would be exhausted.

    Gu Ran waved his hand, and said casually, "Moving around is good for your health. If you stay indoors all day, you will get sick even if you are not sick."

    Originally, Liu Yunxiu was really a boudoir lady who didn't go out of the door and didn't walk out of the door. She was raised like a delicate flower in a greenhouse.

    It stands to reason that Yuanshen's father, Liu Qingshan, is not a strict father who emphasizes etiquette, but after Yuanshen was twelve or thirteen years old, because of the loss of his mother, he was afraid of affecting his reputation, and Yuanshen's father, Liu Qingshan, was not good at such things, So he spent a lot of money to invite a famous female wife from Jiang Nan to raise her daughter.

    But the reason why this female wife is famous is because the young lady she taught is virtuous and virtuous after marriage, filial to her parents-in-law, and everyone praises her. After she came to Liu's house, apart from some ordinary female housekeepers who played piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, she was either admonishing women or practicing three obediences and four virtues all day long.

    There is no mistress in the back house of the Liu family, and everyone else is servants, and Liu's father is busy with the family business. This negligence allowed the female master to teach the originally lively and cheerful Yuanshen to be docile and cowardly, and he did not care about it. Dare to show your face casually.

    Even when she went out once in a while, the maids around her were cautious.

    Gu Ran came out this time with the excuse of wanting to buy some storybooks. She stopped and stopped along the river bank to enjoy the beautiful scenery, took her maid Xinger to taste snacks, and bought something interesting and novel when she saw it.

    Although the Liu family was not considered the rich and powerful family she passed through before, it was relatively well off and had no worries about food and clothing. The original body is the only daughter of the Liu family, and it's too late for Liu's father to love her, so naturally there will be no shortage of her pocket money.

    From east to west, after passing the water and land gates on both sides, strolling, playing and eating all the way, even the maid Xing'er let go a lot, not as cramped at first, and even dared to say, "Miss, According to Qi Dong who is beside the master, the Baihua honey cake in Nanjiang Tower is the most famous, "

    Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, let's go there for a while." Anyway, she also felt tired.

    Nanjiang Tower is a three-story pavilion standing tall beside the Baidi River. It is also the best restaurant in Wanjiang County. Leaning on the railing, you can also overlook the white sails on the river and gulls and herons playing in the water.

    Gu Ran went in and booked a private room on the second floor, and ordered Baihuami Cake and a few signature dishes of this restaurant.

    Perhaps this body is still a bit weak, tired from shopping and didn't want to move, while waiting for the food to be served after sitting down to rest, Gu Ran also thought of the plot this time boringly.

    This is an ancient male novel about a noble son from a poor family relying on the imperial examination to become an official. The main character, Qin Baiyan, comes from a poor family and was raised by his mother alone. Zhongxiu was admitted to Juren, and later became a Tanhualang handpicked by the emperor's imperial pen.

    After that, he slapped his scumbag father and stepmother in the face severely, and managed to get along like a fish in water in the officialdom, eventually becoming a first-rank official in the dynasty.

    Compared with the main line of the male protagonist's counterattack and slapping his face all the way, and his success in the officialdom, his wife and concubines in the back house have very little description, and they are more like tool people, especially his original partner Liu Yunxiu, a well-behaved lady in the boudoir. He died early not long after high school, and was killed by the hero's admirer.

    For this reason, the male lead mourned for his wife for three years, and was praised by the world for emphasizing love and righteousness. Later, the Shangguan said that the matchmaker married the prime minister's daughter. He also took many concubines during his career as an official, such as Jiang Nan, the daughter of a salt merchant., the beauties presented by the dignitaries, the maids of the general's family, and so on.

    The hero's story seems to be hardworking and inspirational, but Gu Ran will not be a stepping stone on his way to success.

    Gu Ran has traveled through so many worlds, and he has seen countless people. He can see at a glance the essence of Qin Baiyan, who is a person who pursues fame and fortune and wants to climb the ladder. He doesn't care about love, but for him, it's a matter of course for him to get promoted, get rich and kill his wife.

    The Liu family took a fancy to Qin Baiyan and recruited him to marry him, and with the support of the Liu family, he was able to continue to concentrate on scientific research. And when Qin Baiyan became famous in high school, the fact that he had been a son-in-law became a flaw, so Liu Yunxiu could die in due course.

    Moreover, she was killed because of the jealousy of the woman, not because the male protagonist was ruthless and ungrateful, and abandoned the chaff.

    After Liu Yunxiu died, he saw everything. Qin Baiyan said that he had been in mourning for Liu Yunxiu for three years, but he was not too sad. In order to fade away the history of his son-in-law, Qin Baiyan also sold all the properties of the Liu family, including the medical books collected by the Liu family. It was also burned as sundries.

    And these were all entrusted to Liu Yunxiu earnestly by Liu's father before his death.

    Liu Yunxiu's wish is very simple, one is to stay away from Qin Baiyan and never marry him. The second is to be able to keep the Liu family's medical skills from being lost.

    The time point of Gu Ran's time travel is relatively good. Liu's father is looking for a suitable candidate for her husband. Although the male protagonist Qin Baiyan has been selected, he has not yet formally engaged and married, so there are more opportunities to resolve this matter.

    She had only been here for two days, when Liu's father was going out to inspect his own medicine fields, and the female teacher didn't come to class, Gu Ran felt that staying at home was too boring, so he came out. In the last world, she was used to being free and at ease. Even the bustling capital city felt like an inch of space, not to mention the small inner courtyard of the Liu family.

    After eating and drinking enough, Gu Ran asked the maid to pack some pastries.

    Seeing that Miss seemed to be still interested, Xing'er couldn't help but wondered, "Miss, aren't we going back?"

    Gu Ran shook his head and said with a slight smile, "Come on, let's go to the medicine hall to have a look, it's rare to come out."

    Liuji Medicine Hall is also well-known in Wanjiang County, it is very conspicuous, and you can see it if you look for it. Although the doctors and apprentices in the medicine hall didn't recognize her as the daughter of the boss who was raised in a deep boudoir, the maid Xing'er became more respectful and enthusiastic after she said a little, and even served tea and snacks.

    Gu Ran said with a smile, "You guys are busy, don't worry about me, I'll just take a look."

    She also asked Xing'er to distribute the cakes she bought to them. Nanjianglou's Baihua honey cake is the most famous, and the price is expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Unexpectedly, when Miss Liu came over and brought them some snacks, everyone couldn't help but feel good about them.

    Afterwards, seeing that the hostess lady was gentle and kind, the other people in the pharmacy also breathed a sigh of relief, they were not so nervous, and went about their own business as promised.

    The business of the pharmacy has never been slow, and most of the medicines in Liuji pharmacy are relatively cheap and easy to use, and ordinary people can afford them. It is not only the people in Wanjiang County who come to see the doctor to buy medicines, but also People from the nearby ten miles and eight townships and even Yunzhou City.

    Gu Ran took a look at the management of the medicine hall, and went to the backyard to watch the process of drying and concocting medicinal materials, and there was no shortage of people to explain to her.

    Yuan Shen often followed Liu's father when he was young, and he also had some medical skills under the influence of his ears and eyes.

    At this moment, Xing'er suddenly came in from the outside, with a strange expression on her face, she said, "Miss, it seems that someone bought medicine for Mr. Qin's mother, but I saw it was a young girl."

    As soon as Gu Ran heard it, he knew that this was the childhood sweetheart admirer of the hero.
