Chapter 214 Chen Xiuying Wants to Be a Matchmaker

After Minister Zhuang reported the per-acre yield truthfully to Emperor Jiayou, the Ministry of Revenue sent more carts to transport potatoes the next day. For a while, the road leading to the farm was filled with carts transporting potatoes.

After Chen Xiuying finished this matter, there was nothing left to do, so she took Qing'er to her master's clinic as she had planned.

Doctor Qian's clinic is very simple. There is a plaque with the words "Healing the World" hanging on the door. After entering, there is a reception area on the left, which also has a treatment room. On the right is the pharmacy and medicine decoction area.

When Chen Xiuying entered, Doctor Qian was scolding her senior brother Qian Chuanbai, "Look at you, you're not a kid anymore. The matchmaker who came today said so much good things. If she likes you, why don't you go meet her?"

But no matter what Doctor Qian said, Qian Chuanbai just kept silent. Doctor Qian was so angry that he complained to Chen Xiuying, "Tell me, what should I do with your senior brother?"

Chen Xiuying didn't know what to do, but her master's reminder reminded her that there were several young men and women in her family who were waiting to get married.

Let's put Dali aside for now. The child has already said that he should try for another two years before looking for another one. Chen Xiuying thought about it and decided that it was okay. We have boys here, so if we try for two years and then turn 22, it's not that difficult to say.

It's time to find Xu Wu. He's six years older than Dali, already 26. Furthermore, he's older than Qing'er's brother! Yu Fu'an at least got married once, but he's not even married!

In addition to Xu Wu, there are Yu Fuan and Qing'er, the brother and sister are not young either.

Yu Fuan is 25 years old this year and Qing'er is 18 years old, which were considered older youth in ancient times.

Thinking of this, she looked at Qing'er beside her. Ever since her stuttering problem healed, the little girl seemed like a completely different person. She loved to talk and laugh all day long, and she was also hardworking and a good hand at making a living.

If you think about it carefully, she and her senior brother are quite compatible. One used to be a stutterer and the other fainted at the sight of blood. Both of them were psychological illnesses, and it wouldn't take any special opportunity for their problems to be cured.

The more Chen Xiuying thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. She coughed lightly, dragged Qing'er outside, and then quietly asked Qing'er, "Qing'er, what do you think of my senior brother?"

When Qing'er heard this, her face flushed all the way to her ears. Although she was shy, she didn't shy away and said directly and generously, "Madam, I appreciate your kindness. Senior Brother Qian is an upright man with superb medical skills. He is indeed a good man."

It’s just… I already have someone I like in my heart, and before he gets married, I don’t want to look for anyone else for the time being…”

Chen Xiuying's eyes widened when she heard the answer. She had never expected Qing'er to have found someone without saying anything. She hurriedly asked her, "Who is it? Do I know him?"

Qing'er's face turned even redder when she asked this question. She lowered her head and whispered, "I can't tell you yet. He doesn't know that I like him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiuying felt regretful but also relieved. After all, matters of the heart cannot be forced. If she spoke it out easily, and the other party wasn't interested, it would be bad for both parties.

So she patted Qing'er on the shoulder and said, "In that case, I can only wish you get what you want soon." Then the two of them returned to the clinic.

When Doctor Qian saw them come in, he hurriedly asked, "What were you mumbling about when you went out just now?"

Chen Xiuying briefly explained that she originally wanted to match Qing'er with her senior brother, but Qing'er already had someone she liked.

Although Qing'er's face turned red, she was not embarrassed.

When Doctor Qian heard this, he continued to nag his son, "Look at that little girl, she has her own thoughts in her mind, what about you?"

Qian Chuanbai said helplessly: "Dad, you can't force feelings."

Chen Xiuying also advised Doctor Qian, "Master, there's no need to rush Brother's affairs. Everything will happen naturally when the time is right."

Doctor Qian sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. You young people should make your own decisions."

Seeing that the master had stopped talking, Chen Xiuying explained her purpose and said that she was now free and could come here often in the future.

When she said this, Dr. Qian's displeasure immediately disappeared.

"Oh, good! Good! You can finally study systematically with me. Come on, let me test you first to see if you've forgotten all those herbal medicine songs I asked you to memorize before."

Chen Xiuying... Can I take back my words about studying medicine?

In this way, Chen Xiuying also began her systematic learning life.

By the time Zhou Dajiang returned to Xinde Prefecture, the water level had completely risen. Truckloads of cement, sand, and gravel had arrived to repair the dam. Everything was ready, only the right conditions were needed.

Prince Chen was delighted to see him return. "I've been waiting for you every day, and finally you've returned. Magistrate Lin said he's already found the laborers. All you need is the word, and we can get started."

Zhou Dajiang: "That's great! Let me check the water level again. If it's okay, we'll start work tomorrow!"

Prince Chen: "I've been waiting for you to say this. Hurry up and do it so that we can go back early!" He was still waiting to go back and have the emperor's nephew organize a calligraphy and painting event for him.

Zhou Dajiang's project was progressing smoothly, and Chen Xiuying was also learning step by step. Only Zhou Sisi was a little upset.

It wasn't for anything else, it was all because of Zhuang Xinyan. Zhou Sisi only realized after registering for classes that she and Zhuang Xinyan had five overlapping subjects! Zhou Sisi had signed up for poetry, qin, calligraphy, painting, tea art, flower arranging, dance, and abacus; Zhuang Xinyan, with the exception of lyrics, songs, and fu, shared the same five subjects.

Qi Xinrui gloated after learning about this. "I told you to avoid her, but you refused to listen. Now you're in trouble. You'll have to fight her every day."

Zhou Sisi looked at her and said, "You're not much better than me. Don't you have three similarities with her?"

Qi Xinrui: "That's different. I'm better than her in the piano, but not in the other two areas. So, she's making things difficult for me in that area."

Yuan Youyou pushed her away and said, "Don't listen to her alarmist words. I also have five items that are as serious as hers, and I'm living well, right?"

Qi Xinrui was dissatisfied, "How can it be the same? You are one year older than both of us. If you hadn't come back because of your uncle's transfer, you might have been married a long time ago. These projects would be dispensable to you. It's different for us. We have to stay in this girls' school for at least another two or three years." Thinking about having to look at Zhuang Xinyan's face for the next two or three years, he felt really anxious.

They chatted for a while before the bell rang. However, the three of them were taking calligraphy class, so without Zhuang Xinyan, it felt pretty good. Moreover, they also ran into Cui Xiaotang in calligraphy class.

When Cui Xiaotang saw that it was Zhou Sisi, she immediately came over and said, "Sister Sisi, that's great. I can take classes with you from now on!"

Zhou Sisi nodded with a smile. Before she signed up for the class, Qi Xinrui had told her that Cui Xiaotang and she had the same seven subjects, except for the song. Zhou Sisi only had two different subjects from Qi Xinrui, so she wasn't surprised to have five of them in common.

The calligraphy class is mainly about practicing calligraphy, so the course is not difficult. As long as you can write the practiced font well, the class will pass quickly.

After class, Zhou Sisi met her best friend, Yuchi Jiao, the granddaughter of General Yuchi, through Cui Xiaotang's introduction. Not only did they attend the same classes, they even signed up for the exact same specialty courses.

Yuchi Jiao has a bold personality. After Cui Xiaotang finished introducing her, she bowed to Zhou Sisi and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Zhou Sisi had no choice but to follow her example and bowed, "Nice to meet you!"

Qi Xinrui and Yuchi Jiao were clearly on good terms, so she teased her directly, "Look at you, you're always so concise when greeting people. You're clearly someone who loves to wield weapons, yet you insist on learning flower arrangement and needlework. Can I ask what you're thinking?"

Yuchi Jiao was surprised. "Do I even need to think about this? I haven't even thought about it at all. Xiaotang asked me if I wanted to do the same as her, and I nodded in agreement."

Qi Xinrui...Okay, you're awesome!
