Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

The mother, daughter and master returned to the provincial capital, and Liu Yuhan continued her medical studies.

Liu Yuhan wore a face towel that her mother had sewn for her. It was breathable and slightly larger than a mask, covering the area below her eyes.

When the master was diagnosing patients, Liu Yuhan acted as an apprentice and medicine boy. For simple illnesses, if the patient did not mind, Liu Yuhan would do it himself. After she finished the diagnosis and wrote the prescription, the master would review it again and correct any mistakes.

Liu Yuhan had the opportunity to take pulses, diagnose patients, prescribe medicine, and treat injuries almost every day. She became increasingly skilled at bandaging, becoming more and more like a medical intern.

The time spent studying always passes quickly, and 20 days passed in the blink of an eye.

The master said that they would have a day off tomorrow as they were going to attend Ah Fei's engagement ceremony.

Ah Fei has completely adapted to life in Dejitang.

It is worth mentioning that last year, the daughter of the second housekeeper of the Huo family went to the pharmacy to get medicine for her father one day. She saw Ah Fei who was helping to get the medicine. She saw that he was very meticulous and treated people gently, and she fell in love with him at first sight.

It was not until the second steward of the Huo family discovered that something was wrong with his daughter that she confessed to him.

Ah Fei didn't know that such a good thing would happen to him. His parents died when he was young, but fortunately his master took him in and asked him to follow him as a medicine boy.

Although he had little talent, he was diligent and sincere. His master treated him very well and even said that he would find him a wife before he came of age.

The second steward of the Huo family was a son of the Huo family. His name was Huo Li. He married a first-class maidservant beside his wife. The two were married for several years before they became pregnant. Unfortunately, the pregnancy was not good and the baby came out feet first. The maidservant died of dystocia and heavy bleeding.

Huo Li's daughter suffered from lack of oxygen during childbirth and may have drunk some amniotic fluid, which caused her to develop slowly after birth and suffer from seasonal cough and asthma. She is still unmarried at the age of 18.

Huo Li was a straightforward person. Knowing his daughter's feelings for Ah Fei, he privately sought out Ah Fei, told him about his daughter's health, and asked him if he had any feelings for his daughter and if he was willing to marry her.

He did not ask Ah Fei to marry him, but only hoped that if they could have two sons, one would take the surname Huo. This was also his gratitude to the old general.

He was an orphan. Many of his families had children who were fatherless and motherless, and the old general brought them back to the Huo Mansion from the dilapidated temple.

Ah Fei was nervous but also a little expectant. He was just an orphan with nothing. Could he really marry the daughter of Shopkeeper Huo?

She knew Shopkeeper Huo's daughter, who often came to him to get the herbs he needed for the house. The girl was pretty and graceful, and every time she spoke to him, he didn't dare look her in the eye, but he agreed in his heart.

Ah Fei told Manager Huo that he would wait for his master to come back before giving him an answer.

As soon as the master came back, he learned that Shopkeeper Huo's daughter wanted to marry A Fei, and he immediately nodded in agreement. He also personally went to Shopkeeper Huo to agree to the marriage.

He had taken this girl's pulse when she first came to Dejitang last year. She said there was no serious problem and she would be fine after some rest.

Besides, the girl is graceful and polite, a very nice person. Ah Fei is so lucky that he found a wife on his own without me helping him find a date. Not bad, not bad.

Doctor Liu adopted Ah Fei as his adopted son. Ah Fei burst into tears of joy and kowtowed three times to Doctor Liu. Liu Yuhan also changed his way of addressing Ah Fei, from calling him "Brother" to "Senior Brother."

Doctor Liu and Manager Huo, the two parents, discussed and bought them a slightly larger and renovated house with a small courtyard near Deji Hall.

The small courtyard needs 400 taels, and two people each contribute taels.

Seeing that her master had emptied his pockets but still couldn't come up with two hundred taels, Liu Yuhan quickly prepared a red envelope and gave her master the money as a token of filial piety.

"Alas, you little girl, how can a disciple give a red envelope to his master? Just think of it as the master lending you money first. The master originally had a lot of silver, but it was robbed when he fled the famine."

In reality, Doctor Liu didn't have much money. He was very indifferent to money and often helped beggars with Ah Fei. When he treated patients, he often helped the poor and often did not charge for medicine or charged very little. He and Ah Fei almost lived beyond their means.

"Master, what are you talking about? It's only natural for a disciple to be filial to you. Besides, it's such a wonderful thing that my senior brother can get married."

"Yes, your senior brother was also a poor man. He was so young back then that he had to do hard labor for others. I took him in because I saw that he was so young that he could barely support himself and even bought steamed buns to help some beggars. He is a kind-hearted child."

"Well, Senior Brother is a very good person. He is married now, and you have adopted him as your adopted son. He will definitely be filial to you in the future. Master will have us two to take care of him from now on, so you can just wait and enjoy the good life."

"Haha, good, girl, from now on, Master will enjoy the happiness with you two."

"Well, let's help Brother prepare for the wedding together."

"Good, good boy."

The "Six Rites" must be performed without any one of them: Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, and Qinying.

The rich have their own style, and ordinary people have their own priorities. In short, no procedure can be missed.

Liu helped a lot, after all, Liu Yuhan was not yet of age and was not suitable to appear in some occasions.

Liu Yuhan followed his master and senior brothers to decorate the wedding room.

Engagement first, then wedding. The dates were already planned: the engagement was May 20th, the wedding was June 8th. Both families wanted their children to marry soon. So the dates were chosen relatively close, but of course, they were all auspicious.

In ancient times, the woman would not show up for an engagement. The man would give the woman a gift of money wrapped in red paper, and the amount of the gift must be in pairs, not odd numbers, meaning a couple.

In addition to the gift money, a betrothal gift is also required.

In ancient times, there were many kinds of betrothal gifts, including brocade, livestock, fish, dried fruits, grain, aquatic products, etc.

Food is the most important thing for people, and food and clothing are the most important things in life. Ordinary people care about having food and shelter at the husband's house, so they will feel more at ease when marrying their daughter.

The betrothal gift was up to the Master and Senior Brother. Liu Yuhan and her mother helped prepare the betrothal gift.

Liu Yuhan selected a piece of fine cotton cloth and a piece of ordinary silk from the space, and took two bags of white rice. The rest of the livestock, fish, meat, and dried fruits could be bought on the street.

The "three animals" are generally cattle, sheep and horses. In ancient times, they were generally used for sacrifices to wish for the gods' blessings. Later, they were gradually used as betrothal gifts. Ordinary families could not afford the "three animals", so they bought the "small three animals" of pigs, fish and chickens.

People who are particular about their lifestyle will also go hunting wild geese, as wild geese symbolize that a couple can share hardships, the husband and wife can support each other, and work together to overcome difficulties.

The bamboo baskets containing betrothal gifts are decorated with red silk to make them festive and auspicious.

The senior brother carried his belongings and followed the matchmaker and his mother to the girl's home. The girl was not allowed to show up before the wedding and was required to sew her wedding dress at home, as well as the man's inner clothes, to represent their future close relationship.

Well, I heard all this from my mother. She explained every step to her, saying that she would get married in the future and would have to know these things sooner or later, so it would be better to know them in advance.

Well, seeing her mother's as-a-matter expression, she couldn't refute it.

She's only 14! If she really wants to get married, she should wait until she's 18. Modern people and ancient people have vastly different values and lifestyles, and she can't imagine ever finding a like-minded "ancient person" to marry.

These few years of unmarried life seem particularly precious!
