Chapter 76 Wu Xiangling after detoxification

After the two agreed, they returned to the county seat. Ye Ximing went to find Wei Yan and told him to invite him to his home for dinner when he was on his break. He also invited Cao Bingwen.

Speaking of which, Ye Ximing hadn't seen Cao Bingwen for a while.

Originally, the Academy's Master and Dean Meng thought that Cao Bingwen would win the provincial examination in August last year, but they did not expect that Cao Bingwen performed abnormally and failed to pass.

Cao Bingwen was hit hard and has been studying hard since returning to the academy.

Last time, Ye Ximing invited Wei Yan to a small gathering to thank him for inviting Dr. Lu for him before, instead of calling him Cao Bingwen. This time, the purpose was not so clear, he even invited Cao Bingwen.

Before Wei Yan and the others came to the house for dinner, Wu Xiangling came to the door first.

Zhou Ran looked at the slender figure in front of her, with slender shoulders and a plain waist, and said with a smile: "It seems that the poison in Miss Wu's body has been completely cured."

If it weren't for the maid following Wu Xiangling, she might not have recognized Wu Xiangling at all. Although the facial features have not changed much, Wu Xiangling's entire body shape and temperament have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Wu Xiangling smiled and said: "I would like to thank Madam Zhou. If it weren't for you, I might die without knowing that I was poisoned."

"Miss Wu is too polite. It's just Miss Wu who is lucky."

"If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have such good luck. My good luck also comes from you."

Zhou Ran shook her head with a smile and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we have known each other for such a long time, so why don't we be so polite?"

Wu Xiangling also smiled, "Ms. Zhou is saying that there is really no need to be so polite between us."

Mrs. Zhou helped her a lot, how could she express her gratitude clearly in just a few words? She would keep this feeling in her heart and pay it back slowly in the future.

but……

"Ms. Zhou, you don't have to call me Miss Wu all the time in the future. Just call me by my maiden name, Xiang Ling."

Zhou Ran smiled and responded, "Okay, then Xiang Ling, don't call me Mrs. Zhou. Just call me A'ran."

"Okay, Aran."

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Xiangling and Zhou Ran talked about the causes and consequences of her poisoning.

Zhou Ran and Ye Ximing both guessed wrong. The person who poisoned Mrs. Wu was not one of the two concubines in Magistrate Wu's back house, but Magistrate Wu's cousin.

At that time, Magistrate Wu's cousin admired Magistrate Wu, but Magistrate Wu married Mrs. Wu and took great care of Mrs. Wu. Magistrate Wu's cousin was dissatisfied and felt that the reason why Magistrate Wu married Mrs. Wu was because of Wu. Madam Wu's beauty caused her to have a "drunken dream", and she wanted Madam Wu to turn into a fat man and be disliked by Magistrate Wu.

But it happened that Mrs. Wu was pregnant with Wu Xiangling at that time, and all the medicine was absorbed by Wu Xiangling.

Later, Magistrate Wu won the imperial examination and left his hometown in Tanzhou. Her cousin got married again, and this matter was never discovered.

If it hadn't been for Mr. Fei, this matter might never have been discovered.

However, Mrs. Wu is not a vegetarian. Even though it has been so long, once she found out, she still investigated the matter as quickly as possible and chose to treat others with their own methods. body.

She asked someone to find the person who sold "Drunken Dream" to County Magistrate Wu's cousin, and bought a copy of "Drunken Dream" from him, and gave it to Magistrate Wu's cousin.

The man married by Magistrate Wu's cousin was originally a greedy and lustful person. The family had many beautiful concubines in the past few years, and the relationship between the couple was very bad. If she becomes fat again because of her "drunk dream", her husband-in-law may never look at her again.

Wu Xiangling stayed at Zhou Ran's place for half the afternoon and left Zhou Ran's place after half time, saying that he was going to thank Mr. Fei.

The fourth day after Wu Xiangling arrived was the day when Ye Ximing invited Wei Yan and the others to his home for dinner.

Early in the morning, Zhou Ran took Ye Xiaomei and Da Niu to buy a lot of vegetables.

At noon, Zhou Ran and the others were preparing ingredients, and Aunt Guo came over.

"Aran, are you busy?" Aunt Guo greeted with a smile.

Zhou Ran nodded, asked Aunt Guo to sit down, and chatted with Aunt Guo while busy with her work.

However, although Aunt Guo was talking to Zhou An, her eyes kept glancing at Ye Xiaomei.

After Zhou Ran found out, she pretended not to know and continued chatting with Aunt Guo.

Aunt Guo stayed for less than half an hour. The work in Zhou Ran's hands was almost too slow before she asked to leave.

Zhou Ran sent the person to the door of the courtyard. Aunt Guo looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then she smiled and said to Zhou Ran: "Aran, Auntie came to the door today because she wanted to ask you something."

Zhou Ran had already vaguely guessed what Aunt Guo was going to say. She nodded and said, "Auntie, you tell me."

"Is your little sister not engaged yet?" Aunt Guo asked.

Zhou Ran shook her head and said, "No, we had arranged a marriage before. But something happened at home and my husband was ill. The family may have felt that they couldn't get anything good from us, so they canceled the engagement."

After hearing this, Aunt Guo was filled with indignation and said: "It would be better for such a family to break off the engagement, so that my little sister would not suffer the consequences of marrying."

Zhou Ran smiled: "Everyone in our family has the same idea as my aunt, so after that, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were more cautious when choosing a house for my little sister. So far, I haven't found one that suits my liking."

"Then..." Aunt Guo opened her mouth hesitantly: "Then what do you think of our Huzi? You also know the situation in our family. Huzi's father and I are both straight-tempered people, and we treat our daughter-in-law like It’s the same as for my own daughter.”

"Although Hu Zi himself is not very impressive and cannot read as well as Ye Xiucai, he is still an errand in the Yamen, he eats royal food, and his appearance is considered handsome..."

Aunt Guo was talking when a voice of greeting suddenly came from behind her, "Hello, sister-in-law, Brother Cao and I are here to disturb you again. Is Brother Ye at home?"

Zhou Ran smiled at Cao Bingwen and Wei Yan, and glanced at Wei Yan, who was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, holding a folding fan, and wearing a crown of jade on his head. He was obviously specially dressed, and said: "You are here, come in quickly. , Mr. Xianggong is waiting for you."

"Then let's go in first." The two of them bowed to Zhou Ran and walked into the courtyard.

However, Wei Yan's steps were several steps slower than Cao Bingwen's, and he was still listening to Aunt Guo and Zhou Ran talking.

"A'ran, I'll leave first because there are guests at your house. But you should also consider what I told you. I really like my little sister. If she can marry Huzi, I will never let her suffer. A little angry."

Zhou Ran nodded and said: "Our two families are neighbors, so I know very well what kind of people my aunt's family is, but my father-in-law and mother-in-law have to decide on my little sister's marriage. I will take the time to tell my aunt's wishes to her father-in-law and mother-in-law." "
