After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Not long after, Li Yunru arrived at Anjia Restaurant in a carriage. She jumped off the carriage in a hurry, and Ahua chased after her. Xiaoqin took the two of them directly into the backyard of the restaurant.

"Xi Rui, you said you had a good idea, what is it?"

Seeing Ding Xirui basking in the sun in the yard, she walked over in two steps.

"Yunru, don't be anxious, let's go inside and talk." Ding Xirui stood up and walked into the house.

An Yumo also came over, patted Li Yunru on the back, and told her not to worry.

The three of them entered the house, and Ahua, Banxia and Xiaoqin stood guard at the door.

"Yunru, drink some water first and relax." An Yumo poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Li Yunru completely ignored her ladylike manners and gulped down a few big gulps, waiting for Ding Xirui to speak.

"Yunru, the man your mother almost got engaged to when she was young, do you know what his current situation is?"

"I don't know. I heard about my mother's youth from my grandmother."

"Is that person still in Qizhou City? Do you know this?"

"I don't know that either." Li Yunru frowned and asked, "Why do you want to ask about his situation?"

"We not only want to ask about his situation, we also want to inquire about the situation of the scholars in Luocheng County and Qizhou City."

"Why?" Li Yunru and An Yumo were both confused.

"Isn't your mother thinking that you will marry a scholar so that you can be the wife of an official in the future and have great reputation? Let's find out how many scholars there are in Luocheng County and Qizhou City every year, how many of them pass the imperial examinations, and how many fail. What are the unsuccessful ones doing now, and how are their wives living. You don't need to know everything, but you need to know some stories to let your mother know that marrying a scholar does not necessarily bring you reputation, nor does it necessarily mean you will have a good life. You need to let your mother see this fact."

Ding Xirui took a sip of water and continued:

"That man was a scholar back then. I wonder if he passed the exam. If he didn't, how is he doing now? Is he good to his wife? If he did pass the exam, where did he serve as an official? How was his reputation? Is his wife living well? What are the frustrations and pains of being an official's wife? We'd better find out all these. If we can't find out about the man's situation back then, we can also find out about the situation of some wives of officials in Qizhou City."

Ding Xirui finished speaking in one breath, very excited.

Li Yunru nodded and said, "I understand. In the past, I only focused on my mother and my cousin and didn't think about anything else. This is a good breakthrough."

"Yes, that's right. I was also very worried when I was at home, always thinking about how to negotiate with your mother. But if we just say the same thing over and over again, no matter who talks to her, your mother will not be convinced. We have to fundamentally untie her knot and break her fantasy and obsession with scholars."

"Yes, that's right." Li Yunru and An Yumo both nodded heavily.

"Then what do we do next?"

"Let's first..." Ding Xirui was about to speak, but stopped. She looked at Li Yunru and said:

"Yunru, try to arrange it."

"me?"

"Yes, you are the protagonist of this matter, we are here to assist you."

"Okay, let me think about it." Li Yunru stood up, paced back and forth, and began to think. After a moment, she said:

"I will write a letter to one of my cousins ​​first. She is my best friend and doesn't want me to marry my cousin. I want her to do three things for me. First, ask about the situation of the man my grandmother is with. If he is in Qizhou City, go and ask about him."

Ding Xirui nodded.

"The second thing is to ask her to help me find out about the family situations of the officials in Qizhou City, whether their wives are doing well, and their family relationships and discords."

"and then?"

"The third thing is to find out about the scholars' success in taking the imperial examinations. I want to know in detail how my cousin is doing in his studies and what the teacher thinks of him. Although he is now a 'scholar', he still needs to take more exams. I don't know what his potential is. This is a big deal. My uncle's family is also very concerned about it, so it should be easy to find out."

"Yeah. These things are enough to keep your cousin busy, hahaha." An Yumo and Ding Xirui laughed.

Li Yunru scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "At this point, I can't care about so many things."

"Okay. What about Luocheng County?"

"Here in Luocheng County, please ask Xirui and Yumo to help me." Li Yunru bowed to them.

"Get up quickly, we are all friends, don't be polite." An Yumo hurried over and pulled her up.

"I can't go to Qizhou City casually, but I want to find out about the situation in Luocheng County myself. However, my mother is very strict with me. I have to inform her in advance every time I go out. She didn't know that I left in a hurry today. If she knows when I go back, I will have to explain it to her. So, can I ask Yumo or Xirui to write a letter to invite me in the future so that I have a reason to go out."

Ding Xirui and An Yumo looked at each other and said, "No problem."

"Thank you." Li Yunru's eyes were full of gratitude.

"Yunru, you don't have to be polite. We are all in Luocheng County and can help you find out." Ding Xirui said.

"Xi Rui, thank you. The fact that you can come up with this idea is a great help to me. Ah Hua and I will do the work of finding out the situation."

"Yunru, you don't have to be polite. I can help you too." An Yumo held her hand and said.

Ding Xirui suddenly thought of a very important point. She turned to An Yumo and said, "When the results come out, I'm afraid we will need to use some small tricks to let Yunru's mother know."

"Can't Yunru go and talk in person?" An Yumo asked.

"No. If Yunru said it herself, Yunru's mother would think that this was a trick Yunru deliberately used in order to avoid marrying her cousin. She would most likely refuse to listen and refuse to accept it." Ding Xirui explained.

"So what should we do?"

"After getting the news, I went to Yunrujia store and pretended to be a customer to chat with the boss lady. I specifically picked out stories about unscrupulous scholars and told them to her to make her suspicious," said Ding Xirui.

An Yumo suddenly realized and continued, "Then, I will go to your house as a guest and tell you how difficult it is to pass the imperial examination, and also tell you about the downfall of those who failed the examination."

Ding Xirui winked at her in agreement.

"Then, Aunt An may need to step forward." Ding Xirui said.

"Why do you want my mother to come forward?" An Yumo asked.

"Your mother is more suitable to talk about the affairs of the wives of officials and how those husbands without opinions are cowardly and irritating."

"That's right, it's more appropriate for them to talk about this." An Yumo nodded, and then said: "No problem, I will convince my mother."

"After three rounds of this, Yunru's mother will be relieved. If Yunru makes another sincere request, she will probably not be so persistent anymore."

"Okay." The three of them held hands together, full of anticipation.

An Yumo sat down on the stool, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I feel better now." Li Yunru walked over and patted her.

Ding Xirui looked at Li Yunru's thin appearance, remembered her illness, and asked.

"Yunru, have you changed your mind about eating?"

Li Yunru nodded and said, "Well, I no longer let my mother arrange everything for me. I told her what you said last time, and then ate rice and other dishes in big mouthfuls, feeding myself full. My mother was skeptical and scolded me in the first few days, but now she doesn't care about me anymore."

"Has your gastrointestinal condition changed?" Ding Xirui was a little anxious.

"Well, my mother no longer watches me eat. I feel much more relaxed than before, and my stomach feels better than before." Li Yunru replied.

"That's great."

Ding Xirui breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that emotions really had a big impact.

An Yumo looked at the two of them and felt touched:

"The situation now is much better than when we first met. It will get better and better." She patted the two of them.

"Ah."

The atmosphere in the room became relaxed.

In the afternoon, the three of them said goodbye and Ding Xirui went to the clinic, wanting to share the news with Lin Mingxuan, but when he got there, he found that the clinic was much busier than usual.

"Xirui, go home quickly." Lin Mingxuan had already put on a mask and pulled Ding Xirui towards the door.

"What's going on here?"

"There are more patients today than yesterday. Father is worried that the symptoms of cold may be contagious, so he asked us to wear mouth masks. You are still relatively weak, so you should go home." Lin Mingxuan explained.

"I'm fine. I want to stay and help. Please get one for me too."

"No, you take some and go home quickly to share some with your family." Lin Mingxuan insisted.

"But……"

"There are not so many buts. You should go back quickly." Lin Mingxuan was a little anxious.

"Okay." It seems that the situation is a bit tense, and home is also important, so let's go and make arrangements at home first. Thinking of this, Ding Xirui took some handkerchiefs and got on the carriage back to the Lin Mansion.

When she got home, she washed her hands, changed her clothes, and then went to see Mrs. Lin.

"Mother, there are more and more patients in the clinic. I wonder if anyone in our family has caught a cold. Please help me check."

"Okay, I'll call someone right away."

"Mother, it's not good for so many people to gather together. Why don't we go around the yard and ask a few more people?"

"That's fine." Mrs. Lin stood up and walked into the yard with Ding Xirui.

The boy at the door is fine.

"The weather is cold, so you should remember to put on more clothes. If you see someone coughing passing by your house, remember to cover your mouth and nose and stay away." Ding Xirui gave him instructions while handing him a mask.

The cooks in the backyard were also fine.

"Aunt Gu, when you go out to buy groceries, don't walk with people who are coughing. Remember to wear a mouth mask in crowded places." Ding Xirui continued to remind.

Dazhong, Dashun and others often walked around in the yard and ran to the farm from time to time. Ding Xirui also gave them mouth coverings.

After a round, the Lin family is now safe.
