Chapter 454: Hug each other for warmth and support
After Fang Xiaoxiao came to the capital, she became Xin An's full-time doctor. Xin An was young and ate and drank well on weekdays, so there was not much need for conditioning. Apart from prescribing some sobering soup and liver-protecting pills for Tang Mo, she was of no use. After living in the Marquis' Mansion for a while, she left the house and secretly went to Qianjin Hall to make an appointment for a nominal consultation, but they didn't accept her.
She refused to get married even when she reached the age and spent her days studying medical prescriptions. Fang Da always sighed when he talked about this girl.
"You and my father are brothers, so Xiaoxiao is naturally my adopted sister. I support her interest in studying medicine, but she cannot become a doctor who makes a living by her medical skills, and she cannot be treated as a doctor and be summoned at will."
"I'll talk to her later. If she insists on taking this path, I will protect her."
Being a doctor is important and dangerous, especially when treating the powerful and wealthy. The risk is huge. She doesn't want Fang Xiaoxiao to be involved in those dangers that are not to be seen in the open.
Fang Da wanted to kneel down to Xin An on the spot. What kind of place is Prince Jin's Mansion? When he sent someone to invite him, he thought they had come to the wrong place. Although he was happy, he was more afraid. What if they treated the noble man badly?
He only has this one girl. What's the point of him working so hard if something happens? Isn't he just trying to earn more money to find a son-in-law?
"Don't be polite to me. Come to me if you encounter any difficulties. We have come all the way from Huaijiang to the capital, so we must live well in the capital."
Fang Da was so moved, and Wang Jin beside him was also smiling. Xin An looked over and asked, "How is Wang Fu?"
Wang Jin said that the flower shop had already opened. "Business was not so good at the beginning. It takes time for Master Xiaolin and his team to cultivate flowers and plants. I heard that jasmine sells the best and there are the most in this flower farm. The flowers that the young lady asked to be sent to Prince Jin's mansion have also been delivered."
"Don't worry, just take your time."
Wang Jin was smiling so much that his eyebrows were not visible. Xin An was curious, "Manager Wang seems very happy."
Fangda joked, "In a few months, Steward Wang will become a grandfather, so he is naturally happy."
"Really?"
They've only been married for a few months. "She's pregnant so soon?"
"Less than two months."
Wang Jin was beaming with joy, but Xin An suddenly became anxious. She had been recuperating for several days but there was still no movement.
After drinking tea for a while, Xin An asked about the Zhou brothers again. Wang Jin said that the brothers still lived at home and a yard was specially vacated for them. Just as he was talking, Zhou Chengye came and greeted Xin An. Xin An smiled and said, "Brother Zhou Er, you don't have to be so polite. How are you now? Do you want to find a college to study hard?"
Zhou Chengye bowed and said with a smile, "Young Madam, you may not know yet, but Mr. Tang introduced me to Mr. Tang, and Mr. Tang introduced me to the teacher of the academy. Now I have become his disciple, and I can go to the academy to attend classes tomorrow. The teacher will also give me homework and exams, so I will strive to get a good score in the next imperial examination."
"That's a good thing. You can stay in the capital from now on. You can live here with peace of mind. You will be more popular in this house."
Zhou Chengye said cheerfully that he would bother her for a few more days, and added that his wife and children would come over soon, "Then we'll rent a yard and move out. It won't be easy to bother them with so many people. If there's a suitable house, you can take a look."
At this time, Xin An naturally wanted to persuade them to stay. "This house is not small. Usually, only Manager Wang and his family live here. My father doesn't come here often. There are so many empty houses that will get damaged if no one lives in them. You move out when you have your own house to live in. I'm afraid my brother will blame me if he finds out."
"I won't stop you from buying a house. When Brother Zhou gets promoted in the future, his status will naturally be different, and it will be convenient to have a house. But there is no rush, let's take our time."
Zhou Chengye smiled with satisfaction. He never dreamed that his brother could enter the Ministry of Personnel.
He walked up to Xin An with a box in his hand, feeling embarrassed to speak. Xin An gave him a look and Wang Jin led his people out. Only Zhou Chengye and Xin An were left in the room. There were eight thousand taels of silver notes in the box, and Zhou Chengye was too embarrassed to speak.
"My brother and I have spent some money since we came to Beijing. With the money you brought from home, we still have 8,000 taels. We have already sent a letter to our family. It will take two months for them to send the money. Lord Liu has helped us so much. We will have to trouble him to take care of us in the future. We can't delay this matter. Otherwise, they will think we don't know the rules. We want to borrow 4,000 taels from you first and pay it back when the money comes from home."
Then he took out a written IOU and said, "My brother wanted to talk to you in person, but I thought he had a lot of things to do since he just took office, so I'll take care of these things for him. See if you can do it."
"We have also prepared another copy for the Second Young Master, but it will take a while. I'm really sorry."
Xin An took his IOU and his banknotes, "I will do this for you, and don't tell anyone in the future. As for my husband and I, don't worry about it. I want a benefit for helping my family. Will I go back to Huaijiang in the future?"
"Don't feel embarrassed. Just do your job well and keep in touch with him. Even though my husband has many friends outside, he is still the closest to you. We are all real family. We will support each other in the future. Nothing else is needed."
That being said, the Zhou family has long understood the ins and outs of this because one of their members has been a minor official for many years without receiving a promotion. In the officialdom, it is not the case that you will be promoted and reused just because you have the ability.
Before Tang Mo came back, the brothers had no one to rely on in the capital. The only people they knew were the students who took the same imperial examinations with them. All they heard were either fantastic prospects or various complaints. But when Tang Mo came back and found them, their situation changed all of a sudden.
The people he got to know were either the sons of powerful families or the dignitaries in the court. He originally thought that the Zhou family was a respectable family in Huaijiang and they had some experience. However, they had never heard of many of the things said by those powerful people. They felt like peasants.
It's because my knowledge is too limited and the gap in our family backgrounds is too big.
In the past, they thought that relationships that were out of reach even if they flew were ignored by others. Now, a meal can benefit these brothers so much. How could they not hold on to this big tree of the Marquis' Mansion with all their heart?
"We understand the truth, but the thought should be strong. If our family knew that we brothers would not be able to return in the future, we should not refuse."
Xin An added, "Who in the court doesn't stick together to support each other? Today we are helping you, and there will be a time in the future when we need your help. Do you want to accept my benefits as well?"
"Well, when everyone in the family is here, you can host a banquet for us and we will definitely come."
Zhou Chengye couldn't win the argument with Xin An, so the matter was settled. When he returned to the house, he stood in front of the window, clasped his hands together and said "Amitabha". People who read the books of sages would also do the same. He could only say that he was really grateful to the Xin family for coming to ask for his sister's hand in marriage. His sister was lucky to marry into the Xin family, and not only did she live a good life, but her family also benefited from it.
