Shopkeeper Zheng Da came to the front and saw the guests, and then he remembered something important. He turned to Zhou Man and said, "By the way, Doctor Zhou, I was just about to tell you that Zheng Gu has fallen in love with a girl in Luozhou.

I will send someone to propose marriage after the New Year, what do you think about this?"

Man Bao was stunned, "What can I say?"

Then there was a "yeah" sound: "Is Zheng Gu going to get a wife? Well, he is going to get married, and he has already gotten married. If he doesn't get married, it will be even harder to get married."

Shopkeeper Zheng Da nodded with deep understanding, but the children of the Xinglin family always got married late, and many of them got married in their 24s or 20s. Thinking about it this way, his son was not very late, just right.

Shopkeeper Zheng Da comforted himself in his heart.

Man Bao thought of Zheng Shaolai, "Zheng Shao is not young anymore, why is there no movement at all?"

Shopkeeper Zheng Da said: "His parents don't have much knowledge, so they didn't give him any care."

Zheng Shao is honest and dull. It was precisely because of this that shopkeeper Zheng Da sent him to Zhou Man as a medicine boy. However, his personality was not very popular at home, and he also had a smart and considerate younger brother.

Woolen cloth.

Now his brother's children are almost old enough to go out on the streets to fight for drinks, and he hasn't gotten engaged yet.

Manbao thought about it and became worried. Not only did she have to worry about the marriages of her nephews and nieces, she also had to worry about the marriages of her apprentices. She was so busy.

But she was busy in her mind for a while, and soon she heard the commotion in front of her, and immediately ran over to join in the fun.

Shopkeeper Zheng Da shook his head.

Bai Shan and the others are playing hut.

Zhou Lang was leaning aside with his hands folded to watch, but when he saw Bai Shan was hit by eight arrows, everyone started making noises, and they couldn't help but stand up and said, "I'll give it a try."

Bai Erlang gave him the arrow in his hand. Zhou Lang took aim and threw out the first arrow, which fell out. The second arrow fell against the mouth of the bottle. Everyone let out an unceremonious "sigh", but

Zhou Lang squinted his eyes and threw the third arrow, and then each of the following arrows was thrown in.

He threw down the ten arrows in Liu Huan's hand in one breath. Everyone was stunned and started making noises. They gave him all the arrows in their hands, wanting to see how many he could throw in.

Zhou Lang threw them in one by one. Sometimes the arrows in the pot were almost full but he could still throw them in. Everyone was amazed.

Zhou Lang shook his head and said proudly: "It's much easier than hunting birds when we were kids."

Wu Lang and Zhou Lang were also eager to try it. They had been led by Zhou Lang since they were young, and they were also very good at hunting birds.

Doctor Ding, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, couldn't help but whisper to Doctor Tao: "Not to mention other things about Zhou's family, he must have been a tyrant in the village before."

Look what's going on here.

Doctor Tao laughed.

Man Bao squeezed forward, and his competitive spirit was aroused. He also took arrows and lined up to get in.

Bai Shan stood next to her and asked with a smile: "What does Shopkeeper Zheng want from you?"

"Chinese medicinal materials and telling the disciples about marriage," Man Bao summed it up in one sentence, and then said sadly: "Zheng Gu's marriage has been settled, but Zheng Shao's has not yet. I find that I have more and more errands.

too much."

Bai Shan smiled sullenly, "You asked for it all on your own. Big brother and the others didn't ask you to marry Lixue (Three Heads) and the others. It was you who took care of it yourself. But compared to Lixue and the others, Zheng Shao's

Marriage should be much simpler."

"Why?"

"Because he can already support his family," Bai Shan said: "He is now the Shu chief of the Xiangzhou Local Medical Office. He is from the ninth rank after all, and he is receiving a salary from the court, which is small, but he has no problem supporting his family.

If you are respected, it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a marriage."

It was much easier than talking about marriage when he was a medicine boy.

In comparison, it was difficult for Zhou Li to learn from the three of them.

He and Zhou Ligu (fourth head) are still in school. If they can pass the Ming Jing exam next year, it's easy to say. If they fail, they may not be able to get a better marriage than Zhou Lizhong (big head) and Zhou Liwei (two heads).

Not to mention Zhou Liru, she is not only studying now, she is also a young lady. According to Man Bao's plan, she will have to study at the Imperial Medical Office for two more years before she can graduate. Even after she graduates and joins the workforce, she still has to continue studying.

When Bai Shan thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Huan, who was laughing with Zhou Lang and the others. He turned to Man Bao and said, "Don't you think Liu Huan is very suitable?"

Man Bao turned around and asked, "Is it because he follows his own will?"

Bai Shan pursed his lips and smiled and said: "People who follow their heart don't have so many rules, and Liru is suitable for people who don't have so many rules." Just like Man Bao.

If she met a family that was very strict about rules and everything they said and did was judged by a ruler, she would be miserable to death.

Man Bao said: "Liu Huan cannot represent the Liu family. Marriage is a good marriage between two surnames, not just two people who are suitable for each other."

If there is discord in the family behind them, they will spend a lot of energy on the family, which is not good for Li Ru.

And the Liu family's family status is too high.

Against their family, the Zhou family will not have enough confidence.

Bai Shan smiled and said: "I met Mrs. Liu Shangshu at my grandmother's place today. By coincidence, Sanniang and Liru were also there, and people named Liu gathered in the same room."

There was a twinkle in his eyes, like a starlight, and he smiled: "At that time, Mrs. Liu Shangshu asked Sanniang when she would be promoted to imperial physician, and also asked about Li Ru's studies. When I left, I also heard Mrs. Liu Shangshu saying that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

Liu Huan, it would be enough if Liu Huan had half the spirit and diligence of the two of them."

Man Bao was stunned for a moment, then began to think deeply.

Bai Shan looked at Man Bao with a smile, feeling a little proud. When he was proud, he took all the arrows in her hand and gave them to Bai Erlang who was looking after Liu Huan. He took her hand and went aside to whisper.

Bai Erlang looked confused while holding the arrow. He turned around to look at them, but was pushed back by Yin You, "Don't look, the couple are whispering."

Bai Erlang snorted lightly and turned back, not disturbing them this time.

Bai Shan took Man Bao's hand out of the corridor and walked directly from the corridor to the garden behind. He smiled and said: "The momentum, the more you borrow, the better. Li Zhong (big head) because you are getting married to Sanniang, and the male of the Zhou family is getting married in the capital."

The foundation has been set, Man Bao, have you ever thought that in the future the Zhou family will also be a noble family, or even an aristocratic family?"

Man Bao laughed and said: "Master Wei is now the Prime Minister of the country, and he still claims to be from a humble family."

Bai Shan: "What about three generations later?"

He said: "Master Wei has three sons. One is married to the wife of the Cui family, and the other is about to marry a princess. After three generations, who can say that the Wei family is a poor family?"

Man Bao was silent.

Bai Shandao: "Before you, the Zhou family was a common people, and after you, it was a humble family. The ones who are studying now are Li Xue. If they can become officials and take a step forward in the officialdom, they will be firmly in the poor family, and they will be able to go out."

Without a person like Mr. Wei, five or six generations later will still have the opportunity to join the gentry."

The aristocratic family is formed by the accumulation of generations of nobles.
