Jinyi Spring

Chapter 30 Bad Thoughts

Feng Buji's sleepiness disappeared, and his face became serious. "Yes, I have to spend it quickly."

Aunt Wang suggested, "Then buy some land. With so much silver, you can buy more than 70 acres."

Feng Chuchen said, "We want to open a clinic in Beijing, so we should buy a house in the city first, and then buy another one to use as a clinic when we make money. We should buy one near Xihemen, where houses are relatively cheap and close to our hometown and Qingwei Marsh."

A memorial archway was built here, and this courtyard will be preserved forever as the ancestral home.

Feng Buji agreed with everything his sister said.

"it is good."

Both masters said so, and Aunt Wang agreed.

She said, "Then buy it quickly, the longer you wait, the more trouble you will have."

Feng Chuchen said, "We'll go buy it when we're done. We should all be more alert at night, especially Peony. Don't tie up the big head, and don't close the door of the firewood room..."

The big head has a loud voice. When it barks, it can not only wake up its owner, but also the sound can be heard in the village. It is also very powerful and can beat two adults.

Seeing the tense expressions of the few people, Feng Chuchen smiled and said, "The emperor has just commended my aunt. No matter how bold the thieves are, they will not dare to act in the near future. We just need to be careful."

Shaoyao assured, "Young lady, rest assured. I have a shallow sleep and can hear any movement. I will put a stick on the bed and an axe under the bed. I will chop anyone who dares to come in."

Feng Chuchen nodded and said she would also put a stick in the house.

The night is deep and the stars are bright.

The people of Baima Village were still excited, standing outside the door in groups of three or five, discussing the matter of Doctor Feng.

Mr. Zhao called his third son Zhao Wei into his room.

"I think Miss Chen is good. She is very good-looking and can read and write. Doctor Feng has been commended, so I will marry her to you."

He still had something to say. Feng Buji would not live long, and the Feng family pushed him and his sister out. The property and honor left by Doctor Feng would only belong to Feng Chuchen in the future.

The image of Feng Chuchen appeared in front of Zhao Wei's eyes. She was tall and thin, with slightly dark skin and a few small pimples on her forehead. She was wearing a straw hat and a cloth skirt, and she looked like a country girl at first glance. She was not elegant at all.

I want to take the imperial examination and become an official in the future. Marrying her? It will lower my status.

He refused, "Dad, Feng Chuchen is a country girl. She can't be a lady of beauty, nor can she manage a family. My son doesn't like her."

Mr. Zhao frowned and rebuked, "You are short-sighted. Although your uncle is the county magistrate in Quhe County, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and it will not be of much help to you in your official career. If you marry Feng Chuchen, someone in the officialdom will help you for the sake of Feng the doctor."

Zhao Wei made an excuse, "Feng Chuchen often goes in and out of the delivery room, is filthy, and has been in jail. Marrying a woman like this will cause black magic, not only will it not help me, but it will hinder my career. Otherwise, let my fourth brother marry her?"

Mr. Zhao's eyes widened, "Don't you know what's going on with Lao Si?"

Zhao Wei said, "Although my fourth brother is not very smart, our family is of high status, rich and landed, and we are also a family of officials. Feng Chuchen will be the young mistress when she marries in. When I enter the government in the future, I will take good care of her and the fourth brother."

With this arrangement, he could marry Feng Chuchen into his family, which would help him in his future career as an official, and he wouldn't have to marry that country girl.

It really kills three birds with one stone.

Mr. Zhao couldn’t hide his son’s thoughts from others.

He scolded, "Nonsense, Feng Chuchen has high standards, how could she be willing to marry the fourth brother? If you tell others about it, you will offend others. Although she often goes in and out of the delivery room, I heard that she has never delivered a baby herself.

"With His Majesty's personal letter and the protection of Doctor Feng, she won't cast a spell. You're right to listen to me. Marrying her will do you a lot of good. I've made up my mind. I'll ask someone to mediate after her mourning period is over."

Zhao Wei said stubbornly, "Dad, my fourth brother is just slow to react. Give him more of the family property when we divide the family property in the future. He will not have to worry about food and drink. Whoever marries him will enjoy the happiness..."

Seeing his father's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything. He was thinking about how to get Feng Chuchen to marry Dai Lao Si to get himself out of the situation... After breakfast the next day, Feng Chuchen and others carried offerings, paper money, incense and candles to Jiupoling to burn incense for their eldest aunt.

Aunt Wang tied up Big Head specifically and didn't let it go up the mountain by itself.

Let Banxia go to Yao's house and invite my uncle and his family to a buffet tomorrow.

Mr. Yao is the uncle that my eldest aunt respects the most, so they must be invited to such an important moment.

The Yao family lives in the neighboring village, which takes an hour and a half to walk there.

Peony guards the house.

Feng Chuchen carried Feng Buji on his back, Aunt Wang led Datou, and the three of them and the dog headed north. They crossed a stream, bypassed the green reed marsh, and arrived at the foot of Miaoqing Mountain.

Follow the path up the mountain for more than two quarters of an hour and you will arrive at a hillside, which is Jiupoling.

There is little vegetation on Jiupoling Mountain, no strange rocks or pines, no pavilions, only a few paulownia trees and some low shrubs.

The mountain wind was very strong and the leaves were rustling. Aunt Wang quickly put a padded jacket on Feng Buji.

There is a lonely grave under the paulownia tree. Standing in front of the grave, you can have a panoramic view of the green reed marsh below the mountain and the village in the distance.

Jiupoling is far less scenic than other places in Miaoqing Mountain. Also, because there is a mass grave at the foot of the mountain, most travelers take the detour to the north unless they are in a hurry.

The Feng Shui here is really not good. When they wanted to bury their eldest aunt at Jiupoling, many people opposed it.

When they heard that it was Doctor Feng’s last wish, those people gave up.

Feng Chuchen felt that kindness was the best feng shui. Her great kindness had brought countless blessings to future generations. Wherever she was buried, it would become a feng shui treasure land.

The small grave looks lonely, but there are so many children accompanying her not far away, so my aunt is not lonely.

There were some unburned incense sticks and paper scraps in front of the grave. I wonder who came to burn paper for my aunt.

As soon as Big Head arrived here, he ran to the grave, lay down beside it, and sobbed softly.

Feng Chuchen dusted the tombstone with a branch and picked up the fallen leaves on the grave before kneeling down with Feng Buji, with Aunt Wang kneeling behind them.

Take out a few apples, a piece of cooked pork, and then take out incense, candles, and paper money.

Feng Chuchen muttered quietly while burning paper, "Aunt, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are here to see you. Yesterday, the eunuch came to convey the emperor's decree that the emperor praised you as a righteous wife, and personally wrote "Mother of Thousand Babies" and will build a memorial archway of grace and honor in front of our house...

"Aunt, you have worked hard all your life to earn a good life for my brother, me, and the descendants of the Feng family. Don't worry, I will take good care of my brother, raise him safely, and help him get married and have children..."

I thought to myself, if you are still alive, please relax, I will take good care of Bu Ji and this family. If you have been reincarnated, I hope you can be reincarnated into modern society.

Women and babies there are much happier than here. There are hospitals for childbirth and caesarean sections are possible. You won't have the regrets you have here. Gynecologists are also much less hardworking than midwives here, and they are respected by the world...

Feng Buji whispered, "Aunt, you have to take care of yourself over there, don't work too hard, and eat more good food. Now we are the descendants of the 'Mother of a Thousand Infants', no one dares to bully us, and my sister will be able to find a good son..."

Aunt Wang also said something to reassure my eldest sister.

Suddenly, a strange voice was heard.

"Robbery! Robbery!"

　Thank you Menghui Moganshan for the reward, and thank you everyone for your monthly tickets and support.
