The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 948: Five Years Later (Part ) Engagement

(Thanks to Jin Xiancong for the reward~)

June 6th is a good day for getting married.

Luzhuer was over fifteen, hadn't even had her birthday, and wasn't even sixteen, but she was already engaged.

Li Sanniang naturally didn't want to arrange a marriage for her dearest baby so early, but she couldn't resist Tang Jia Dalang's constant nagging.

Although Tang Jia Dalang had entered the Imperial Medical Bureau at such a young age of 18, what did this mean compared to the young talents Li Sanniang had seen?

Although Li Sanniang had already noticed that Tang Dalang treated Luzhuer differently a few years ago, she thought at the time that it was just the affection between childhood sweethearts.

Besides, Luzhu'er has seen handsome and noble young men since she was a child. Not to mention young men from noble families like Mr. Bu Ke and Xu Jingzhen, even Luzhu's junior uncle and Li Sanniang's junior brother Shaoyang, when the young man grows up, he is also very handsome.

Logically speaking, Luzhuer has seen many handsome, polite, capable and well-born men, so she would not have any feelings for an ordinary man like Tang Dalang.

But people's feelings are so disobedient. Luzhuer likes Tang Dalang.

At that time, the mother and daughter were lying on the same bed and talking. Luzhu'er leaned on Li Sanniang's arms, listening to Li Sanniang's nagging and finding fault with Tang Dalang here and there. In the end, Li Sanniang even found fault with Tang Mingyue and Chen Yanfu.

This made Luzhu very happy.

"Haha, mother, I'm going to tell Aunt Chen about this later, saying that it was all a lie when mother called her Sister Afu in the past, haha."

Li Sanniang was choked by Luzhuer's words. She lowered her head in an angry manner and scratched Luzhuer's nose.

"My dear, which side is it from?"

Lu Zhuer laughed and leaned into Li Sanniang's arms. After shivering for a few times, Lu Zhuer finally spoke to comfort Li Sanniang: "Although Brother Lin is not that handsome, he is also a handsome man.

His family has been practicing medicine for generations, just like ours, we both learned to use the pharmacopoeia!
Qie'er and he had known each other since childhood and they had a good friendship since childhood.

Besides, my mother is now a fifth-rank imperial physician!
In the entire Imperial Medical Bureau, there are only two people whose rank is higher than A Niang.

But A Niang has achieved this before she turned 30!
In the future, A Niang will be able to go higher and further!
I am my mother's child. If Tang Shilin treats me badly in the future, I will divorce him and come home. Can my mother still abandon me?"

Li Sanniang felt a little relieved after listening to Luzhuer telling her the reasons why she chose Tang Dalang as her son-in-law.

As long as your sweet baby doesn’t get carried away by emotions and falls in love with a man without thinking, it’s fine.

Li Sanniang used her arms to pull Luzhuer in her arms towards her chest, and then she slowly spoke: "You are my baby, the apple of my eye. Don't even think about asking me to support you for the rest of your life. If you have children in the future, I will support your whole family!"

These words made Luzhuer speak even more sweetly. She buried her face in Li Sanniang's chest, took a deep breath of "Mother's scent" with satisfaction, and then spoke again in a low voice.

"Mother, don't worry, how could I be fooled by a man?

In the past few years, my sister Fuling and I have followed my mother to treat patients. There is also the Women's Support Association run by my grandmother and aunt. How could I not know about the affairs of women and girls?

I love Brother Lin, but I know I should love myself more.

I have my mother, my grandmother, my aunt, my uncle, my grandfather, and so many brothers, as well as my sister Qiuxiang, my tenth uncle, and my nineteenth uncle. I have so many people who love me, how can I only want to be loved by a man? If he likes me and loves me, then I will love him in return;
If he treats me badly, I will just give up on him. Do I need anyone to like me?

And then," Luzhuer raised her head and looked at Li Sanniang, "Mother, Aunt Chen is a daughter, and now she is also an official in the obstetrics and gynecology hall working for you, and Uncle Tang is under you. You are in a higher position than others, so how dare their family treat me badly?

If I get married in the future, I will be able to go out and work, just like my mother and Aunt Chen.

The most important thing is, mother, Zhu'er doesn't want to leave you!

Yongpingfang and Changshoufang are so close to each other. Even if Zhuer gets married in the future and misses her mother, she can come back to see her anytime.

Zhu'er is my mother's child, and I will take care of her until she dies!"

"Humph! You actually said these nice words to cheer me up!
No matter what, you have to be over 18 before you can get married!

If you want to have a child in the future, it’s best to wait until you’re 20 years old.”

"Yes, yes, I don't want to get married so early, mother. I didn't want to get engaged so early, but Brother Lin said that if he didn't settle me down, someone else would snatch me away.

He is an adult, and he is so pitiful in front of me, how can I have the heart to reject him?
Also, when I was in the academy, people from the academy next door always found excuses to come to me, and I got annoyed, so I thought I'd just get engaged, and Brother Lin would help me deal with these things from now on."

No matter what, Luzhuer finally got engaged to Tang Mingyue and Chen Yanfu's eldest son Tang Shilin on this day.

There are six ceremonies, namely, accepting the betrothal gifts, asking for the bride's name, accepting the good news, accepting the betrothal gifts, asking for the date of marriage and welcoming the bride. Today's ceremony is accepting the good news, which means fortune-telling the bride's birth date to preliminarily confirm the marriage of both parties.

In fact, the Tang family wanted to go one step further and offer a betrothal gift, in order to marry Luzhuer directly and establish the marriage contract between the two parties.

But Li Sanniang didn't want to!

She didn't want to arrange a marriage for Luzhuer so early.

She couldn't control other people's girls, but she had to choose her own baby carefully. She thought Tang Dalang was a polite man.

But ever since she knew that he was "coveting" her own Luzhu'er, Li Sanniang disliked everything about him. Even when she saw Chen Yanfu in the obstetrics and gynecology hall, she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to find fault with him for no reason.

Besides, who can say that Luzhuer won’t fall in love with another man in the future?
Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was full of talented people. When would there be a shortage of young men? Where would there be a shortage of young talents?
Or, has Tang Dalang fallen in love with a girl from another family in the past few years?

Otherwise, there is nearly four years difference between Tang Dalang and Luzhuer, and Li Sanniang wants to keep Luzhuer until at least eighteen, which would take nearly four years.

In four years, who knows if Tang Dalang will do anything wrong?
Why just decide right away?

What is so worthy of him, Tang Shilin?

However, Naji still had to leave. Li Sanniang learned from Mr. Bu Ke that the Prince of Xiang intended to take a concubine for his third son!

No matter whether this matter has nothing to do with her family or not, in order to prevent trouble before it happens and to be a loyal minister, Li Sanniang only wants to do what is in her heart, which is to stay away from the Prince of Xiang.
