After the Double Ninth Festival, the weather became even more bleak.
Old Mrs. Jin has been feeling quite unwell these days, as she is an elderly person and is weak, coupled with changes in solar terms, this is inevitable.
Zheng Wuji refused to let Xu Chunjun take care of her, so he personally fed the old lady every meal of medicine.
"I haven't honored my grandmother properly these years, and this is what I should do." Zheng Wuji said he would change his ways, and he really did so.
After the old lady in charge had taken the medicine, Zheng Wuji came to Xu Chunjun's room to have breakfast with her.
"Lvchun, you go to eldest sister's place. She said she wanted to draw a pattern before. You can give her the patterns we have here and let her choose." Xu Chunjun just picked up the bowl.
Another thing came to mind.
Lvchun agreed and opened the box, took the flowers and went to Zheng Yuelang's place with Ah Li.
After Lvchun left, Xu Chunjun smiled and said to Zheng Wuji, "I have something to discuss with the officials."
"Say." Zheng Wuji put down the bowl and listened carefully to Xu Chunjun's words.
"It's that girl from Lvchun," Xu Chunjun said. "She's not too young anymore. I've long thought about marrying her to a family after our wife's mourning period is over. Let her have a family just like Ziling.
My own home.”
"Isn't this great? Do you want to betroth her to Sikanda?" Zheng Wuji asked with a smile.
"Sure enough, I can't hide it from the officials," Xu Chunjun smiled, "Do you think they are suitable?"
"It's a good match," Zheng Wuji nodded, "Sikandar has no relatives here and is loyal to us, and Lvchun is your personal maid. It's perfect for the two of them to become a family."
"Sikanda came to beg me for this matter a few days ago," Xu Chunjun said, "Let's settle this matter today!"
"Madam, I want to ask you something." Zheng Wuji looked at Xu Chunjun and asked with a smile in his eyes, "It's obvious that you can make your own decisions on these matters, why do you always ask me?"
"An official is the head of the family," Xu Chunqun blushed slightly, "There must be discussion between husband and wife. I didn't ask you before because you didn't like to take care of family affairs. It's different now. Of course, family matters
I have to let you know."
"Madam, you are so kind!" Zheng Wuji felt very moved after hearing Xu Chunjun's words. He couldn't help but hold his hand and said, "People say that a prodigal son can never return his money, but for me, the reason why I, a prodigal son, can turn back is because
You always stood behind me and never left."
"Officer, let's eat quickly." Xu Chunjun retracted his hand shyly.
Zheng Wuji had indeed changed her ways, but there was one thing that always made her feel embarrassed, and that was that she had to say disgusting words at any time and everywhere.
After finishing the meal, Xu Chunjun called Sikanda and Lvchun in.
Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun were sitting on chairs, their expressions more solemn than before.
"I have just discussed it with the uncle. The first male will be married and the first female will be married. I will marry you two today. Get ready to get married before the end of the year." Xu Chunchun said, looking at Lvchun.
"Girl, I don't..." Green Ulva started to refuse.
"Sikandar is really nice, and he knows how to take care of you. You are not young anymore, and starting a family is a long-term solution." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "Is it possible that you have someone else in your heart?"
"No, no." Green Ulva shook her head vigorously, "I just want to serve the girl well."
"This is child talk. Even if you get married, you can still be by my side, just like Ziling. But you also have to live your own life. Look how good Ziling is now." Xu Chunjun said, "You guys
You two have followed me since childhood, and now you are just like her. I will give you my body deed and give you two a house. I will also help you prepare the dowry, so you don’t have to worry about anything."
Green Ulva lowered her head, feeling sad and speechless.
But Sikanda grinned, showing two rows of big white teeth, and thanked Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji profusely: "Thank you so much for the marriage! It's such a kindness, and I, Sikanda, will repay you by working as a cow and a horse all my life!"
Xu Chunjun knew that Sikanda really liked Lvchun, and besides, he was working as a housekeeper here. Lvchun would still work here even if she married him, and it would be no different from before.
Lu Shen didn't know that Xu Chunjun was doing it for her own good, so she felt sad and knelt down to thank Xu Chunjun and Zheng Wuji.
"Madam, I also have something to discuss with you." Zheng Wuji said to Xu Chunjun after he proposed marriage to Lvchun and Sikanda.
"What's the matter?" Xu Chunjun picked up the needle and thread. He hadn't finished dressing the children of Jiang Nuan's family yet.
"I want to invite Mr. Wu in and teach me how to read." Zheng Wuji said seriously, "Although it is a little late for me to focus on fame at this age, I still want to read more books."
"Haha, there are young people who become famous, and there are also late bloomers. As long as you work hard, you will always get something." Xu Chunjun agreed very much. She did not necessarily want Zheng Wuji to get any fame, but it was always a good thing to read more books.
Zheng Wuji had long wanted Mr. Wu to come to the house, but Mr. Wu had some matters to deal with outside, so he postponed it until now.
There are Mr. Wu's family affairs and matters in the coolie camp.
Miss Hong, who had helped Zheng Wuji in the coolie camp at that time, had already been rescued by Mr. Wu, as well as her younger sister.
Mr. Wu was pretending to be a doctor there, so he said that the two sisters had malignant sores on their bodies that could be passed on to others.
When the supervisors in the coolie camp heard this, they immediately panicked and wanted to throw the two of them into the mountains or kill them and bury them directly.
It was Mr. Wu who said that it would be handled by him so that everything would be truly foolproof.
The people there did not suspect him because the two sisters were indeed covered in red bumps as big as copper coins.
In fact, these are all medicines prepared by Mr. Wu. People will have such symptoms after taking them, but as long as they stop taking the medicine, they will disappear after a while.
According to Zheng Wuji's wishes, Mr. Wu sent the two of them to the Zheng family's farm.
Although they still need to farm and work here, they can earn their own living without being beaten or scolded. Compared with the coolie camps, it is already a paradise.
And he also told them clearly that they would be free at any time and could leave whenever they wanted.
And if they want to leave, they will be given a sum of settlement money to ensure that they can eat and drink without worries.
After Huo Tian took Zheng Wuji out of there, Zheng Wuji asked Mr. Wu to send all the evidence he had obtained to the government.
From the camp manager to the supervisor, everyone was sent to prison.
Those coolies are still doing hard work, but their treatment is better than before, they can eat well, and they will no longer be beaten.
"Master, we have only learned half of the Four Books, and we still have to learn the rest." Mr. Wu said with a smile.
"Sir, just teach me with your heart. It doesn't matter if the classwork is heavier." Zheng Wuji had a goal in mind, so he didn't feel that studying was hard. "It's just that in addition to studying, I also asked my husband to take me to practice boxing and kicking together every day. I don't want to
Become a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken."
