Chapter 219 – The Widow

After dinner, Zhao Sum also came over.

Knowing that she had gone to Marquis Qing Yun today, she also came over to inquire about the follow-up.

Zhao Su said the words, and then murmured: ”Doctor Chen does not look like a nagging person, how would she reject father because of this? Could it be that she doesn’t like father and used this as an excuse to shirk?”

“Women, don’t they always have to be a little more refined?” Zhao Sum didn’t take this to heart. “Chen’s family has been practicing medicine for generations, and the last few generations have all been imperial physicians in the palace, although their status is a bit different, but their family is clean, and Dr. Chen is not a confused person, so it’s not bad.”

Zhao Su cut a sound, cross-eyed look at the past: “You yourself is still a brat, but look up to others.”

Zhao Su heard this, dusted his robe and looked at her, “Brother is also nineteen years old, do you think it’s still a brat?”

Zhao Su shrugged her shoulders and didn’t argue with him.

At the end of the month, tonight there is no moonlight, but the weather is clear, the stars are very bright, the Milky Way hangs in the sky, very eye-catching.

Looking at Zhao Su will touch his hand on the ice identification beside him, under the palm of the cool, in this hot summer night, very comfortable.

Suddenly she said quietly, “When you just talked about Mistress Chen and her father, you mentioned the Chen family status identity – like you have a noble birth, almost anything you want, in the future will you like a plain and ordinary girl?”

Zhao Sum, who was lying on a chaise longue under the stars drinking tea, heard this and the tea cup in his hand paused for a moment. Only after a moment did he say, “Of course I will.”

“Why?” Zhao Su looked at him seriously, “Wouldn’t you think that finding a family match, gentle and virtuous, and well educated lady would be the only way to have a common language?”

Zhao Sumi looked at her: “This is the first time I’ve heard of this kind of language, but listening to you, it’s not like looking for a daughter-in-law, it’s like looking for a friend.”

“Husband and wife also need to have similar interests ah. A man who is extremely intelligent and has a good idea of everything, if he is with a fool, he won’t get any happiness, right?”

“That’s true.” Zhao Sum nodded his head thoughtfully, “A man as smart and excellent as me can have an ordinary status, but he definitely can’t look at that kind of fool who has beauty but no brain!”

Zhao Su’s gaze stuck to his face.

“What are you looking at me for?” Zhao Sum touched up his face.

“Then what if there is such a person who has a crush on a fool?”

“No way! The academic brains aren’t even equal, so it’s impossible to look at it at all! Think about it, if two people are living together, one is extremely smart, but the other is a fool, how can they live on? If you are a smart man, you can’t love a fool. Even if he likes it for a while, he won’t like it all the time.”

Zhao Su fixed under the starry sky, a movement can not move again.

……

The next day Zhao Su got up very early.

When she went out, she passed by Hui An Tang and saw Chen Han in the store, she turned a corner and went in.

Chen Han was not the only person in the store, there was also a woman in her forties, the two people were talking about something, but as soon as Zhao Su came in, they stopped talking.

“Why are you here so early in the morning?” Chen Han greeted her.

Chen Han greeted her, “You’re not feeling sick, are you?”

“No, I was just passing by and came in to take a look at you.” Zhao Su said, turning to the woman next to her.

The woman owed her body.

Chen Han surprisingly did not introduce her in passing.

Zhao Su realized that she had come at a bad time, so she said, “Please help me get some pills to relieve the heat, the weather is too hot, so I’ll bring a spare.”

Chen Han found the pills and gave them to her.

Zhao Su put the medicine on her body, and before she left, she grabbed a handful of money and put it on the counter.

Chen Han was about to look for the money, but she had already left.

The woman behind her said: “Is this the young lady from the Marquis of Qingyun? She’s a pretty girl, and she’s got a lot of manners.”

Chen Han indifferently said, “Second sister is only a fourth-grade official, where is the qualification to pick on the Marquis’ daughter? Besides, they are already very polite.”

“I just said that, you still counted me up for an outsider?” The woman skimmed her mouth, “You still look down on me for being a fourth rank, knowing that you don’t even have a grant nowadays!

“You have no children, you can open your own store to earn money, but what about when you get older?

“It’s just that if you go back to your mother’s house, your uncle will treat you well, but when he dies of old age, your brother and sister-in-law will be in charge of the house, and they’ll still treat you like this.

“I am also a good intention, this man is short is short point, age is also a little bit older, but he is a general from the fifth grade of the military strategy, the most important thing is that people do not mind you are a widow, this past, the size of a general wife.

“This General Liu has taken the initiative to say, as long as you promise, after the door, please seal you for the enfeoffment of the wife, with this identity, I can also take you to the official family circle to get to know a few people.”

Chen Han’s face chilled down, “I myself am the medical leader of the Flower Moon Society, holding the Flower Moon Order, with a salary of two taels of silver every month, more than enough to support myself, why do I need to look at people’s faces?”

“Even if you’re rich, you still have no man and no children, you’re alone, and there’s no one to take care of your afterlife when you die! You can’t just look at what’s in front of you!”

“I don’t want to trouble you, I appreciate your kindness, I still have to open the door to pick up the patient, so I won’t keep you, you go back!”

Chen Han stood up and went straight out the door.

“Hey,” the woman stood up and chased after her, “you’re still so ungrateful, I’m doing this for your own good! If it were not for the sake of the same grandparents, I would not want to take on this mess!”

“When my grandparents were around, I didn’t see you being so filial, but after more than ten years of not seeing each other, you suddenly took care of me! I can’t accept your kindness, and I definitely won’t ask you to take care of this. If there’s nothing important in the future, please don’t come to my door again!”

Chen Han grimaced and stood at the bottom of the steps looking at her, clearly in a send-off stance.

The woman’s face took on a look of embarrassment, then she glared at her with hatred, and with a brush of her sleeve, she boarded a carriage by the side of the road.

Before leaving, he also lifted the curtain and said: “You can’t put on airs with me, General Liu such as this is unattainable, such as this still can’t see, what else do you want? Even the powerful ones can’t see you as a widow!”

Chen Han was so angry that his cheeks turned red and he quickly walked in, slamming the store door shut and blocking her out of the house.

The little healer who did the cleaning in the store, Fu Zhu, gritted her teeth and stared out the window, “This Second Aunt’s wife is getting more and more unruly, how could she introduce you to that kind of person? This is not a clear case of bullying!

“Next time she’ll come again, you must ignore her, Mistress!”

“Okay.”

Chen Han hooked his head to slow down a bit and said, “Hurry up and do your thing.”
