Chapter 307 New Legend of White Snake (IX) (1/2)
After Xu Xian respectfully sent Wang Yuanwai away, he felt disappointed. He spent the entire afternoon working hard to see patients. Fortunately, there were not many patients that day and nothing went wrong.
Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian's back with some worry, "Lan'er, Qing'er, what do you think is wrong with him? Is he regretting rejecting this marriage?";
Xiaoqing was clearing the consultation desk. When she turned around and saw Xu Xian's lackluster back, she covered her mouth and snickered, "No way? I saw him peeking at you. Maybe he's lovesick."
"You!" Bai Suzhen frowned and thought for a while, then disappeared and said, "Let's go and see, he might have some wishes like this."
Yun Lan and Xiao Qing looked at each other and locked the shop, "OK, let's see what he and his sister said."
The three of them arrived at Li's house quickly. Xu Jiaorong was setting up the meal. When he saw Xu Xian coming in, he greeted him with a smile, "Hanwen is back? Come and sit down. You kid, you didn't listen to me not to move out. There is something wrong at home." You live in a house, how can you eat alone outside? I think you should find a day to move your things back. Where can you live in a medicine hall and be as comfortable as at home?";
Li Gongfu saw that Xu Xian looked wrong, and stretched out his hand to tug Xu Jiaorong, "Okay, it's been a hard day in Chinese, so stop nagging and hurry up and serve the rice," he said and looked at Xu Xian again, " Hanwen, how are you doing at Security Hall? If something doesn't go your way, don't force it, my brother-in-law will find something else for you to do.";
Xu Xian tried his best to cheer up and didn't want them to worry, "No, I'm doing well in the security hall. I learn medical skills and treat people every day, and I gain a lot."
"Is that so?" Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Li Gongfu couldn't ask further. When Xu Jiaorong brought out the rice, he asked him to have more food.
Xu Xian had something on his mind. He had only one chopstick but no chopsticks and ate very little. Xu Jiaorong looked really worried and pulled him away after eating, "Hanwen, tell your sister, has something happened?" Didn't you go well in the security hall? Don't be embarrassed to say that our family still has some friendship with Wang Yuanwai, and he also appreciates you. Otherwise, my sister will go to Wang Yuanwai tomorrow to talk about it, and let you go back to Qingyutang? ";
"It's nothing, I did a good job in the security hall," Xu Xian saw that she insisted on asking, so he told him about the marriage that Wang Yuanwai had proposed to him during the day.
Xu Jiaorong was happy at first, and then she was angry when she heard that he had refused, "You! Why do you have such a right idea? Don't talk about marriage. Come back and discuss it with me. Yuan Wang introduced that girl. How nice it is." Ah, the medicinal material store at home is just a good place for you to show off your talents. This is a kiss you can't ask for! No! I have to go talk to Wang Yuanwai tomorrow. If we miss this, we can't find anything like this. What a good girl.";
Xu Xian quickly grabbed her, "Sister, don't go! I, I really don't want to get married yet.";
"Your eldest brother is old and has become a doctor now. Do you want to be a monk if you don't get married?" Xu Jiaorong picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank two cups. After she managed to suppress her anger, she found that Xu Xian was dejected. She suddenly Then he thought of the key, "Hanwen, tell me honestly, do you have a crush on any girl? Is it... Miss Bai, the owner of Baoan Tang?";
Xu Xian blushed and lay down on the table with a sigh, "Sister, don't ask, Miss Bai is a lady of the family, with a good family background, good looks, and good medical skills. I know I can't reach a high level, but let me ask you at this time I feel really uncomfortable marrying someone else. Wouldn't this be a waste of other girls?";
Xu Jiaorong was silent for a long time, with distress in her eyes. Although the Xu family's parents passed away early, she married a good husband who loved her brother as much as she did. For so many years, she let Xu Xian do whatever he wanted. How could she have ever seen him do it? He looks like he is giving up on himself? Her brother is smart, studious, and extremely talented in medicine. He is about to succeed now. How can he fall for women?
"; Han Wen, you can't live in such a muddle. You are a grown man and you must be responsible and courageous in your work. If you really like Miss Bai, I will invite a matchmaker to propose marriage to Bai Mansion. No matter whether Miss Bai agrees or not, we will You have done your best, and you will forget about this honest marriage and having children in the future, and you are not allowed to think about it anymore.";
Xu Xian hesitated and said: "If it doesn't work out, will she not let me stay in Baoan Tang?"
"If you don't stay, you won't stay. There's always somewhere to go. Before Wang Yuanwai's death is over, we have a way out. I'll hire the best matchmaker in town tomorrow. Your brother-in-law has helped them before. "She will definitely try her best to help us find a matchmaker. Just wait for my news." Xu Jiaorong settled on one sentence. After saying that, she got up and went back to her room to discuss with Li Gongfu, asking him to help think of a suitable betrothal gift. .
Xu Xian wanted to stop Xu Jiaorong, but there was a glimmer of hope in his heart. If he could really get Bai Suzhen's favor, he would really have nothing more to ask for in his life. He was confused, got up and took out the portrait he had painted, thinking about himself My mind is crazy.
Xiao Qing pushed Bai Suzhen and stood next to Xu Xian and teased, "Sister, look, he drew a portrait of you, it looks quite similar!"
Bai Suzhen looked at the portrait and then at Xu Xian sheepishly, smiling and saying nothing. Yun Lan looked around and sighed: "Sister, don't lose yourself when you marry him. You have to remember your ultimate goal." It's ascension, this period in the human world is just repaying kindness.";
Bai Suzhen nodded, "Don't worry Lan'er, I will remember it. Besides, you are still by my side, so it will be okay."
";Then I'll go to the next room to listen to his sister's arrangements, so that I can prepare some similar dowry when I go back. By the way, the marriage proposal also requires matching horoscopes. We have to make up a horoscope that is very compatible with the benefactor."; Yun Lan walked through the door and into the next room. Li Gongfu happened to write down Xu Xian's birth date and horoscope. She memorized it secretly and listened to their marriage proposal arrangements. She had to admit that the couple really loved Xu Xian. Although Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's conditions were very different, they still made preparations step by step very seriously. Just like Xu Jiaorong said to Xu Xian before, she really tried her best.
The next day was just a rest day, Bai Suzhen had been fidgeting since she got up in the morning, and she looked out the door every once in a while. Xiaoqing teased her several times, but she couldn't help but look to see if the Xu family had arrived. Yunlan prepared the dowry according to local customs and the betrothal gifts prepared by Xu Jiaorong, and placed them in the backyard warehouse. The house was also redecorated, without too expensive ornaments, so as not to make Xu Jiaorong uncomfortable. The three of them waited for almost half an hour, and Bai Fu respectfully led Xu Jiaorong and a matchmaker in.
Xu Jiaorong looked around cautiously, trying not to show surprise. Xu Xian only said that Bai Suzhen had a good family background, but he never said that the Bai Mansion was so big!
"Madam Li, please sit here." Xiaoqing greeted them with a smile.
Xu Jiaorong saw that she had seen them before, and relaxed a little, smiling, "It's Miss Qing. I hope I didn't disturb you by coming here without permission.";
"Madam Li, you are too polite. The pharmacy is closed today, and my young lady has nothing to do. Please wait a moment. Sister Lan has gone to invite my young lady. By the way, who is this lady?";
The matchmaker who came with Xu Jiaorong hurriedly smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Qing. Everyone calls me Matchmaker Liu. Today, Madam Li asked me to propose marriage to your young lady.";
"Propose marriage?";
Xu Jiaorong turned around when she heard the voice, and saw Bai Suzhen in a pink brocade dress and a pearl hairpin on her head. For a moment, she thought she had seen a fairy! At this time, Bai Suzhen was walking into the hall a little embarrassed. The question was asked by Yunlan, the maid beside Bai Suzhen. She smiled and stood up to greet Bai Suzhen, "Miss Bai, I am Xu Xian's sister. Today I am here to propose marriage on behalf of Xu Xian." She was not good at saying these things, so she winked at Liu the matchmaker. Liu the matchmaker understood and continued her words with great enthusiasm, "Miss Bai is really as beautiful as a fairy. No wonder Mr. Xu is tempted! Speaking of which, Mr. Xu's family conditions are indeed not as good as the Bai family, but marriage depends on fate, and family background does not mean anything. Mr. Xu has a good temper and truly admires Xiao Bai. Sister, he will definitely be a good husband who takes care of the family in the future. Also, Captain Li and Madam Li are both well-known kind people. If Miss Bai agrees, there is no need to worry about the relationship between the sister-in-law and the daughter-in-law...";
Xiao Qing stared at Liu the matchmaker in a daze. She probably had never seen such a talkative person. Bai Suzhen lowered her head slightly, showing just the right amount of shyness, and listened silently. Xu Jiaorong said a few words from time to time to express her own ideas and Xu Xian's expectations. The two sides talked for about half an hour, and Bai Suzhen finally nodded gently.
Xu Jiaorong smiled in surprise, and praised Bai Suzhen repeatedly, saying that it was a blessing for her brother to marry her in several lifetimes! After receiving the good news, Xu Jiaorong could not sit still and hurried home to tell Xu Xian the good news.
Baohetang temporarily closed down, and posted a big red paper saying that the owner was getting married. Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen were ordered not to see each other before the wedding ceremony. Getting married in Bai's house felt a bit like marrying into the family, so the new house was set in the backyard of Baohetang. There were exactly two rooms. Yunlan bought a full set of new furniture and bedding, and re-decorated the big house where Xu Xian lived as the new house, and the other smaller one was for her and Xiaoqing to live in. Under the auspices of Liu the matchmaker, the two families arranged the arrangements. After completing the three books and six ceremonies in an orderly manner, Bai Suzhen became Xu Xian's wife with a little nervousness and expectation.
Xu Xian never dreamed that Bai Suzhen would really marry him. He came to his senses a few days after the marriage and naturally treated Bai Suzhen tenderly, considerately and caringly. The two became husband and wife, and it was more convenient for Bai Suzhen to teach medical skills. Yunlan also took out all the books on medical poisons from the Xiaoyao Sect for Xu Xian to read, which made his medical skills improve rapidly and gradually became famous in Qiantang. People said that Doctor Xu was lucky to marry a wife who brought good fortune to her husband!
Yun Lan watched the couple's sweet love every day, and felt emotional. No wonder Guanyin said that Bai Suzhen owed Xu Xian a deep love. If Bai Suzhen was not sincere to Xu Xian, she would be no different from other women in the world. Xu Xian's marrying her would not be special. If this is considered a repayment, it would be too perfunctory. Maybe in ancient times, this kind of true love between two people for a lifetime is the most valuable?
Yun Lan wandered around the city and the suburbs from time to time, subdued some small demons and ghosts in advance to prevent them from harming people in Qiantang. She also visited nearby temples and Taoist temples, and was relieved when she saw that there were no powerful people. In order to prevent trouble before it happens, she secretly opened several opera troupes, and took turns to perform plays about good demons repaying their gratitude in Qiantang and Linxian. Some were tragedies, some were comedies, and most of them had no ending.
Several more plays appeared at once, attracting a large number of people to watch. Although the content was mostly related to demons, this kind of strange story was more attractive, and some officials even invited opera troupes to perform at home.
When he was free in the pharmacy, Xu Xian took Bai Suzhen to watch a play. Yun Lan's script was closely linked and fascinating, and the lines were also very touching. Xu Xian watched all of them without missing a single one. He would sigh with disappointment when he saw the tragic ending, "This demon is obviously kind-hearted, why did her husband... Alas, it's a pity for such an infatuated woman.";
Bai Suzhen followed him into the bedroom and took out her casual clothes to help him change, "What's a pity? She is indeed a demon, and her husband can't accept it. It's understandable that he thinks she is an alien.";
Xu Xian shook his head in disapproval, "I thought so at first, but after a long time, I think it shouldn't be like this. So what if it's a human? So what if it's a demon? Not all people are good people.";
Bai Suzhen laughed, "You look serious, it's just a play. According to what you said, if I Even if you are a demon, you will not change your mind, right?"; She clenched her sleeves nervously with her lowered hands, and stared at Xu Xian's reaction carefully.
Xu Xian hugged her and whispered in her ear: ";My Xu Xian, the greatest blessing in this life is to marry a wife. Even if you are really a demon, I will still love you so much, and will never forget the love between husband and wife like those heartless husbands in the play.";
";Hate! It's so corny,"; Bai Suzhen shyly pushed him, ";Then you must remember what you said today, no matter what happens, we will be together as a couple.";
Xu Xian patted his chest, ";Of course! We got married, and we will be together until we die.";
