I fought back after reselling my engagement

The woman said to the beautiful girl, "Cousin, be careful with your words and actions."

"Cousin, the Taoist priest is not practicing in the Taoist temple. Why is he coming out to join in the fun? He is just using the money of the pilgrims..."

Su Zhen just pretended not to have heard of it.

The two beautiful young women were called "Madam of the Eldest Young Master" and "Madam of the Second Young Master" by the maids who served them. Could it be that they were the wives of Su Wulang and Su Qillang?

Su Zhen decided to wait until nightfall before going to the Grand Marshal's Mansion to find out what was going on.

She watched two plays at Yueyang Grand Theater, one was Kunqu Opera and the other was Peking Opera, and the singing was very good. From the earlier plays, the number of Kunqu Opera performances has expanded to 18 and Peking Opera performances over the years. Local operas have also emerged in various places, but none of them are as popular as these two dramas.

Kunqu opera and Peking opera will not be selected without a certain level of literary and poetic skills, because these two types of operas are royal and aristocratic operas, unlike local operas that have folk characteristics and even local dialects.

The earliest Huangmei Opera was performed at rural temple fairs, birthday celebrations, and wedding banquets of local wealthy people. Some county towns would have a theater, most of which were teahouses with theaters, and the singers could make a living from this.

After watching the two plays, it was already two quarters past five in the afternoon. Su Zhen returned to his own courtyard, and found the warehouse filled with medicinal herbs and fine wine.

There were coughing and groaning sounds coming from the east room of the main house. It was because Mr. Li's illness from that year had come back again.

When Su Zhen pushed the door open, Li Weng shouted, "Who?"

"Mr. Li, it's me. I've come down the mountain to buy herbs. I'll take them away right away."

Mr. Li coughed for a while and said, "Thank you, sir. I am old and useless now. I am so sick that I can't even get out of bed."

"Just lie down."

Su Zhen entered the warehouse in the west wing and made sure that there was no one else there except Mr. Li. He put the medicinal herbs into a storage bag, then went to another warehouse and put all the fine wine into another storage bag.

After collecting the goods, she went into the east room.

Li Weng looked older, his hair was white as snow, and he was very thin. Because of his cough, his face was unnaturally red. Su Zhen poured out three Gu Yuan Dan, "Take it."

"The Dong family's elixir is excellent."

He couldn't bear to eat one when he ate it, but that one pill made him feel relieved.

Li Weng swallowed one and said, "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for the pills you gave me, I wouldn't be able to establish a family business for my children and grandchildren, nor would I be able to see them grow up."

Su Zhen said: "I gave you two pills, why did you only eat one?"

"I didn't know it before, but later on, the wealthy businessman Sun Dafu on this street was seriously ill, so I gave him the elixir. After he took it, he was alive and kicking in less than an hour. Sun Dafu gave my family two thousand taels of silver, and I used one thousand taels to buy the small courtyard next door, and another one thousand taels to buy a small grocery store for my grandson, right at the entrance of Jinji Lane.

During the day, the granddaughter looks after the shop, while the grandson carries the goods on his shoulders and walks through the streets and alleys. Life is not bad. We are looking after the house for the employer, and the small courtyard next door is rented out, earning three taels of silver a month.

"You are very dedicated. I sent you the calendars of the past few years."

It has been three and a half years since I last left, and now I have to pay forty-two taels of silver.

Li Weng said repeatedly: "Even the elixir given by the boss is very valuable. Last time, Master Sun sent a message saying that he wanted five thousand taels of silver to buy a Guyuan Pill. This elixir..."

"This is a life-saving pill..."

"I am old and sick, and I have to provide a living for my children and grandchildren. I have already arranged a marriage for my eldest son. The girl is the second granddaughter of the tofu lady on this street. She is pretty, hardworking and kind."

"You have to live well and watch your grandchildren give me great-grandchildren. Life will get better and better."

"The boss... is probably a hermit."

"I'm not a master, I'm just a cultivator. You should take good care of yourself and remember to take your medicine. Take one pill every half a month and another pill next spring. It will ensure that you won't be tormented by illness for three years."

If he eats it, he can live another three years. If he doesn't take the second pill, he can only live for one year, but this year can ensure that his old illness will not recur.

As the two were talking, they heard a crisp voice: "Grandpa, we are back."

The former big boy has grown into a handsome boy, followed by a pretty teenager. The boy is carrying a load on his shoulders, and the girl is holding a paper bag filled with medicinal herbs.

After taking one pill, Mr. Li felt much better. The reason he took the medicine was that he had not seen his eldest son get married. If his grandson got married, he would feel relieved.

"Big Boy, Bunny Girl, the boss is here, come over here and pay your respects to him."

The brother and sister put down their things and went into the east room. They were about to kneel down, but Su Zhen stopped them. "Okay, these customs are not practiced here."

Su Zhen said: "Mr. Li, remember to take your medicine. You have to watch your great-grandson be born."

Mr. Li responded, "Big boy, send the boss off."

Big Wa sent Su Zhen out.

Da Wa knelt on the ground with a plop. "The boss is a master. My grandfather..."

"I gave him three pills. If he takes one, he will be healthy for a year. If he takes two, he can live another two years. If he takes three, he can live three years. Living without illness for three years is the maximum he can live. He has been dragging his sick body because he can't bear to leave you brothers. But judging from his appearance, I'm afraid he is reluctant to take the medicine. Please persuade him more."

"Thank you, Mr.

If the boss says it can’t be saved, then it really can’t be saved.

Mr. Sun, a well-known wealthy man on this street, almost died of illness three years ago. All the doctors in the city said that there was no hope for him. But my grandfather took the pill to him and he came back to life in just one hour. He is still doing well today. But I heard that Mr. Sun's old illness relapsed half a year ago, so he sent a message to my grandfather, saying that if he had the pill again, he would be willing to pay five thousand taels of silver for it.

For this money, grandpa would definitely not be willing to spend money on medicine, one pill costs five thousand taels.

Su Zhen left Jinji Lane.

It was already dusk, and she carefully sneaked into the Grand Governor's Mansion.

It has been three and a half years since she last went down the mountain, which is the longest time she has spent in this space.

Now, Su Wulang Su Shen has married Xie Sanniang. Not long after Xie Sanniang and Su Wulang got married, Su Wulang passed the imperial examination and got the position of magistrate of a county in Yueyang Prefecture.

In the spring of the 23rd year of Dezhi, Su Wulang married a daughter of the Xie family in Luoyang. Xie Sanniang and Su Wulang had two sons and one daughter, both of whom were twins. When the baby was one month old, a full-moon banquet was held in Yueyang Prefecture, where old friends, in-laws, and fellow soldiers came to congratulate each other, and it was very lively.

Xie's children were all in the Grand Marshal's Mansion. Every once in a while, Su Wulang would return home from his post to reunite with his wife, children and family.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren all serve as officials in Yueyang Prefecture, Hunan Province, where they enjoy the protection of the current emperor.

Su Qilang got married in February of the twenty-fifth year of Dezhi. His wife, Li, was the granddaughter of Prime Minister Li. She was now four months pregnant, and her belly was much bigger than other pregnant women in four months, and she was carrying twins.

Su Shao had a twin brother, but he died soon after birth because of his weak body. Going back further, twins were also born in Xiao Xie's family. Twins were born many times in our ancestors, which is the greatness of heredity.
