My historical mission 1

I placed Ning Xiucai in the wing on my right in the backyard and told Xiaohong that Ning Xiucai would live at home in the future. Xiaohong looked very happy.

From that day on, Ning Xiucai began to learn medicine and pill making from me. I also began to teach Ning Xiucai the medical knowledge copied from Mr. Gongsun. We get along like a family, and Xiaohong and Ning Xiucai are becoming more and more familiar with each other.

One day three months later, Ning Xiucai looked like he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it while filling the medicine. I took a look and asked,"Brother Ning, what's going on? If you have anything, just tell me." Ning Xiucai hesitated for a long time before saying to me, Xiaobei, I like Xiaohong, but I don’t know how to tell her, and I don’t know what she thinks of me. I feel funny in my heart. I can clearly see what Xiaohong is doing to you, but this person doesn’t know it yet.

I said, do you want me to ask? Ning Xiucai blushed and said anxiously,"No, I'll ask myself."

Okay, you can ask yourself, we are all so familiar, if you can marry my sister, I will be very happy.

Ning Xiucai was very happy to hear what I said, and made up his mind to ask Xiaohong.

At noon, I told Ning Xiucai and Xiao Hong, who were talking, that I would go out to order food and go for a walk. If the food comes first, you can eat first without waiting for me.

After saying that, I went out, as long as I gave them a chance to talk alone. Went to order lunch and then walked around nearby. If things between Xiaohong and Ning Xiucai go well, it's time for me to leave and leave the shop and yard here to Xiaohong, so that she can live a stable life in the future. While thinking about things, I went shopping. Time passed quite quickly. It was time to go back. Don't be too deliberate.

When I returned to the hospital, I saw Ning Xiucai sitting and drinking tea. Xiaohong should have returned to the backyard. I saw the happy look on his face and thought that it was almost done. I asked, how did you ask, what did my sister say? Ning Xiucai said embarrassedly, Xiaohong said she liked me too.

I said yes, let me tell you, Xiaohong also likes you, so what are your plans? Ning Xiucai said, I want to go home early tomorrow morning, talk to my parents, and then ask them to find a matchmaker to arrange the marriage.

My sister is not young anymore. I know that Brother Ning is a reliable person and will be kind to my sister in the future. I'll prepare the carriage tomorrow morning. My sister and I are waiting for your good news at home. Ning Xiucai said, thank you Xiaobei.

I returned to the yard, entered Xiaohong's house, and saw her embroidering something. Sister, I have something to ask you. Xiaohong looked up at me and said, what's going on? Sister Ning Xiucai said that she had gone home early to tell your parents about marrying you. When Xiaohong heard me talk about marriage, her face turned red. She said, Brother Ning just told me that he wanted to marry me. I said to Xiaohong, sister, when you and Brother Ning get married, this shop will be handed over to you, and you can live a stable life in the future. I will go to Kaifeng Mansion in a while, and everything here will be left to you. Live a good life and forget about the past.

The carriage was prepared for Ning Xiucai early the next morning, so that Ning Xiucai could set off early. Xiaohong also carefully prepared food for him on the way....

Two days later, Ning Xiucai came back. This time, his father and mother came with him. He said that because the road was a bit far, he stopped running back and forth, so he found a matchmaker in Yingtian Mansion and went to Pingping. When the marriage is finalized, he will take Xiaohong back to his hometown to hold the wedding.

After hearing this, I thought this was a good idea, so I told Ning Xiucai that I would book a private room at Wangyue Tower tomorrow and meet there.

When the time was almost up the next day, I went to the restaurant with Xiaohong. After sitting for a while, Ning Xiucai came to the private room with a middle-aged couple. They all seemed to be honest and responsible farmers. Ning Xiucai introduced us, wanted to say hello to each other, and sat down. I poured tea for Ning Xiucai’s parents, and my uncle and aunt had a cup of tea first. Seeing that they had been looking at Xiaohong, Xiaohong was sitting there with a red face. The old couple looked satisfied with Xiaohong.

The old couple of the Ning family said that they have found a matchmaker and they hope to get married soon. I also told them that my brother and I have no other relatives at home due to the flood in our hometown. I only hope that my sister will have a good life in the future, and I also hope that Ning Xiu can be good to her. There is not much else. It was required that both families were not busy people, so the matter was discussed smoothly.

After lunch we separated, and we agreed that the matchmaker would come over in three days to make the appointment.

When I got home, I took the house deed and land deed, as well as the 500 taels of silver reward I had received earlier. Sister, I have something to ask you. Xiaohong said, come in and sit down. What's the matter? I put the things on the table and said to her, sister, you can keep these as the wedding dress I prepared for you. I'm also young and don't understand a lot of things. I don't know what my parents' family needs to prepare for marriage. You use the money to prepare. I will go to Mrs. Wang and ask her to help you. You can ask her more. I will leave the shop and house to you. From now on, you and Ning Xiucai will continue to open a medical clinic. Ning Xiucai is a quick learner. If it doesn't work, you can hire a doctor.

I plan to leave when your marriage is over. In the days to come, I will have to work hard with you and Ning Xiucai.

On the day of my appointment, my yard was very lively, and everyone I knew was here. This time, I specially hired a cook from the restaurant to set up four tables in the yard.

Ning Xiucai’s family had planned to hire the cook and he would return to his hometown in a month. For the wedding, Ning Xiucai has been studying with me this month, while Xiao Hong is busy preparing the wedding dress. This means that I have to embroider a lot of things myself. Fortunately, I have money, so I specially ordered all the things at the embroidery workshop. I can't finish the wedding dress even though I'm exhausted. Girls in the Northern Song Dynasty really had to spend a lot of money to get married. I didn’t want Xiaohong to be looked down upon because she had a small wedding dress. It was also a woman’s confidence to compete for the wedding dress. Fortunately, there were three thousand taels of silver in the box that I found at the old bustard's place, which was enough for Xiao Hongzhun's wedding. Because Mrs. Wang has been helping, I specially treated their family to a meal to thank her for her hard work.

Because neither Xiaohong nor I have any relatives, we had no choice but to ask Ma Baotou to go with me to see off the bride. When I arrived at Ning Xiucai's house, I discovered that although his family was a farmer, they were not ordinary tenant farmers. His family has their own land and has built a row of six large tile-roofed houses in the village. Their life is quite good. Otherwise, they would not be able to support their children in school. It seems that Xiaohong's life in the future will still be good. Being rich, I don’t need to worry too much.

The wedding banquet held by the farmer was very lively. There were more than twenty tables set up in his large yard, and people from the whole village came. This kind of wedding banquet is not seen nowadays, and it is very fresh. When the villagers saw the bride's wedding dress of more than a hundred loads hanging behind the Dahonghua Bridge, they were all envious and praised the Ning family for their good fortune.
