spend time

Jiang Shaohua was amused: "What's going on?"

It was not uncommon for Imperial Physician Sun to teach his son a lesson. It was also common for Sun Guangbai to be punished. However, there must have been some reason for Imperial Physician Sun to be so angry.

As a princess, Jiang Shaohua was not allowed to gossip everywhere, but Chen Jinyu was different. There was no news in the Nanyang Palace that Chen Sheren could not find out.

"Please wait a moment, my lord. I will be there soon."

Chen Sheren left in a flash, and came back half an hour later with a shocked look on his face.

Jiang Shaohua's curiosity was piqued: "What's going on? Tell me quickly." Only in front of Chen Jinyu would she gossip like an ordinary teenage girl.

Chen Jinyu took a deep breath, came closer, and whispered a few words.

Jiang Shaohua was also shocked: "Are you telling the truth? Sun Guangbai is going to marry Shanxing?"

"It's absolutely true!" Chen Jinyu nodded vigorously: "Sun Zelan has also returned to the palace. She told me this herself."

"I heard from Miss Sun that Shanxing has always admired Sun Guangbai, but Sun Guangbai avoided her before. This time when she went to Pingzhou, Sun Guangbai had a high fever and everyone thought she was infected with the plague. Shanxing took care of her for three days and three nights without taking off her clothes. Doctor Sun was moved by Shanxing's sincerity and now wants to marry her."

"The Imperial Doctor Sun was unhappy, so he used the family rules. Military Doctor Sun was also stubborn, so he knelt there and took the beating, saying that as long as he was still alive, he would marry Shanxing."

Jiang Shaohua was silent for a moment before saying, "I never thought they would become a couple."

When she arranged for Lin Huiniang and others to work as military doctors, she did have some intention of letting them get married and start over. Over the years, several of them became couples. For example, Bao Er and Fang Niang were a loving couple. Last year, Fang Niang gave birth to a fat girl, and Bao Er was so happy that he would show off in the military camp with the child in his arms whenever he had time.

However, only a few of them got married. Most of them were like Kong Qingwan and Lin Huiniang, who were busy with their work and unwilling to get married.

It’s not that they can’t get married, but they don’t want to be criticized and treated harshly, and they don’t want to live a depressed life.

The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, difficult to climb. They choose to rely on themselves and live independently.

Shan Xing is the youngest among the group of girls. She is only 17 years old after the Chinese New Year, which is the prime of her youth. She has a great talent for medicine and can be of great use if she hones her skills in the future.

Shan Xing and Sun Guangbai... Who would have thought that they would become a couple?
"The Sun family is a medical family of long standing," Jiang Shaohua said softly, "Sun Guangbai is now a seventh-rank medical officer with a promising future. Shanxing is also a good girl. Even though she suffered in the bandit's den, it's not Sun's fault that Imperial Doctor Sun disagrees with this marriage."

别说孙家，就是普通人家，也想娶个身家清白的黄花闺女做儿媳。孙太医发怒揍儿子，实在情有可原。

Chen Jinyu held her chin with her hand and sighed: "I don't know if this marriage can be successful."

Jiang Shaohua said: "Wait and see. I am not in a position to comment on this matter, and you should stop asking for information, lest Doctor Sun misunderstands."

……

The next morning, Doctor Sun arrived.

After more than a year in Pingzhou, Doctor Sun had a lot of white hair on his head. He was so worried about his troublesome son that he was so angry that he didn't sleep all night and looked quite old.

Sun Guangbai, with a bruised face and nose, followed his father with his head lowered.

In contrast, Sun Zelan's steps were much more brisk, and she stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Greetings, Princess." Jiang Shaohua pondered the purpose of Sun Taiyi's visit, and smiled calmly: "No need to be polite, stand up. Today, the three of you, father and son, came together, is there something important to tell me?"

Sun Zelan nodded but said nothing. She turned to look at her father.

Doctor Sun sighed inwardly, but did not hesitate, and said, "I came to see the princess because of this useless and rebellious son. When he was in Pingzhou, he secretly married Shan Xing. I ask the princess to act as a matchmaker for him, and arrange the marriage for him and Shan Xing as soon as possible."

Sun Guangbai, with a pig's head on his head, bowed to the princess and said, "Please help me, princess."

Jiang Shaohua hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "There are no outsiders here, so I won't beat around the bush. You know Shanxing's background very well. You don't mind now that we are in love. I'm afraid that after a long time of marriage, you will regret it. By then, you can divorce your wife and marry again, or take in a concubine. What should Shanxing do?"

"This world is especially cruel to women. Back then, I saved a group of poor women from the mountain and promised to support them in the future. I have some ugly words to say first."

"If anyone wants to bully Shan Xing in the future, I will never stand idly by."

These words were spoken to Sun Guangbai, and even more so to Doctor Sun.

If you want to marry a daughter-in-law, you must think it through. Don't just agree now and keep bringing up the past later.

Doctor Sun understood immediately and continued, "Princess, please rest assured. Our Sun family has a clean and upright tradition and has never divorced a wife and remarried. You can only take a concubine when you are forty and childless."

"Guangbai is willing to marry me. My son has grown up and has his own ideas. As a father, I have no choice but to follow his will."

"Whether you live a good life in the future or not, I cannot decide. However, I can assure you that I will never be picky or mean to my daughter-in-law."

Sun Guangbai immediately took over the conversation: "I will definitely treat Shanxing well, please agree to this marriage, Princess."

Sun Guangbai's face was swollen and his eyes were full of hope and eagerness.

He didn’t know what the future would hold, but at least at this moment, he sincerely wanted to marry Shan Xing.

Jiang Shaohua glanced at him and smiled slightly: "In that case, this princess will agree. Three matchmakers and six betrothals are necessary, and the marriage must be held in a lively manner."

Sun Guangbai grinned and accidentally pulled the wound at the corner of his mouth. He gasped in pain and looked extremely embarrassed.

Doctor Sun agreed on his son's behalf: "Yes, I will take advantage of my free time at the end of the year to prepare for the marriage. I would like to set the wedding date earlier, so that they can get married in the spring of next year."

Just as Sun Zelan said, the two of them stick together all day long, so they should avoid making a fool of themselves by coming home with a big belly.

Doctor Sun and his son left first, and Sun Zelan was kept by Jiang Shaohua to talk.

Without waiting for Jiang Shaohua to ask, Sun Zelan smiled softly and said, "My lord, do you want to ask how my brother convinced my father?"

Jiang Shaohua was indeed curious: "It's only been one day and one night, why did Doctor Sun agree?"

“大哥挨了一顿痛揍，一直跪在父亲面前，任凭父亲怒骂，也坚持要娶山杏。”孙泽兰想起昨日兄长被揍得稀里哗啦的情形，语气中满是同情，然后又扑哧一声笑了：“他还说，如果父亲不同意，他就一刀割了自己做太监。”
