Chapter 416: Your father agrees to your marriage
, and all this is led by Dr. Xu, who rarely appears in public.
This made the name Xu Heyou leave a very deep impression in the hearts of the people of Taizhou Prefecture, and also made people who didn't know much about Xu Heyou couldn't help but have great curiosity about him.
At this time, Fan Chengxu was drinking with Wei Yichen, Xu Fengyuan and others inside the Zuixian Residence.
There are seven people present here. Except for Fan Chengxu, the other six are students from Anzhou College who were stuck in the snow with Wei Ruo that day.
Today's banquet is a farewell banquet for Lu Yuhong.
During the dinner, the topic of discussion ranged from the recent snowstorm to Xu Heyou, who had recently opened a relief center to help many victims.
Liu Yu said: "Xu Heyou has contributed both money and effort, and he can also ask many famous doctors in Taizhou Prefecture to take turns to provide free clinics. It is really impressive. Now many people in Taizhou Prefecture have benefited from his kindness, and everyone praises him. He is a kind man."
Yuan Wangyuan said: "Just giving medicines cost a lot of money, and he also gave cotton clothes, quilts, and charcoal fires to ragged people. If this lasted for half a month, I estimate that thousands of taels of silver were spent."
Gao Wentian said: "It's not enough to be rich, but he also has superb medical skills. These days, his free consultations are said to be done behind a curtain, but he can accurately diagnose each patient's illness and prescribe good medicine." Its diagnosis and treatment."
Yuan Wangyuan said: "I also heard that the medical skills are really superb. He took the lead in treating the epidemic last year and cured many difficult and complicated diseases during the free clinic this year. I heard that some elders in my clan who have old diseases want to go there. See him for treatment. If he hadn’t only seen free clinics, I’d probably have gone to see him now.”
Liu Yu followed up and said, “My old lady also had the idea of asking him to see a doctor, and she even sent someone over to inquire, but Doctor Xu only wanted to see him. We plan to provide free medical treatment to the poor and disaster victims, but we can't get it even if we give money."
Lu Yuhong continued: "His medical skills are really good, even the seventh prince is him..." He
stopped mid-sentence, and he almost killed the seventh prince. The incident of being rescued by Xu Heyou was revealed!
Everyone looked at Lu Yuhong curiously, and Lu Yuhong hurriedly changed the topic: "I mean Xu Heyou's medical skills are praised by even the seventh prince."
Xu Fengyuan concluded and commented: "Being able to deliver porridge and medicine for many days shows his financial strength. It's amazing; he is praised by the people for being able to cure diseases and save people, which shows that his medical skills are very superb; for being able to get so many doctors from Taizhou Prefecture to come forward for free medical treatment, his appeal is equally amazing." Listening to the comments of several people, Fan Chengxu smiled and said: "This is so great
. He You's abilities go beyond that."
"Master Fan seems to know something about Doctor Xu?" Xu Fengyuan asked.
Everyone else was also looking at Fan Chengxu.
Fan Chengxu shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a mysterious smile: "I don't dare to say that I know him well, just a little more than you. This man is very business-minded. As long as you give him the opportunity to give him capital, he will not There will be a shortage of money."
"If Mr. Fan can comment like this, he must be very good at doing business." Xu Fengyuan said.
Fan Chengxu is a top businessman in Taizhou Prefecture. He has said so, so there should be no lies.
This further increased everyone's curiosity about Xu Heyou.
"If I have the chance, I really want to get to know him." Liu Yu couldn't help but said.
The other people agreed, and they also wanted to get acquainted.
After a while of pushing cups and changing cups, several people became a little tipsy.
"I'm so lucky to have you with me today!" After Lu Yuhong sighed, he couldn't help but said, "It's just that there is a little less thyme. It would be better to drink happily that day." Lu Yuhong's eyes fell on Fan Chengxu's
. There was quite a sense of blame on him. Fan Chengxu said with a smile: "You can't blame me for this. I send two jars of this wine to my restaurant every day. It's not easy to leave two jugs for you." You have to blame
Xu Heyou for this!
Liu Yu stood up to pay respects to Lu Yuhong and said parting words: "Brother Lu, after you go to the capital this time, we don't know when we can meet again."
Lu Yuhong said: "What are you talking about? When you go to the capital to take the imperial examination, won't you be able to see me when I host you in the capital?" Liu Yu waved his hands hurriedly: "Among us, only Brother Xu and Brother
Wei Go ahead, I'll forget it."
Xu Fengyuan patted Liu Yu on the shoulder: "Brother Liu, don't be discouraged, you will definitely be able to pass the high school exam again in three years!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I'm not as good at learning as you and Brother Yichen. Especially you, if you pass the Jie Yuan exam, your future is limitless."
After hearing this, Xu Fengyuan glanced at Wei Yichen who was silent and said: "Brother Yichen performed abnormally in the autumn examination. If he performed normally, it would definitely not be my turn to do Jie Yuan. ."
On weekdays in the academy, Wei Yichen always performed better than Xu Fengyuan.
I don't know why it was Xu Fengyuan who won the Jie Yuan exam in the autumn examination, and Wei Yichen was ranked lower.
"Brother Xu is well-deserved for his high school title. I usually have better luck." Wei Yichen replied.
"Okay, okay, you two should stop being modest! You are the pride of our Anzhou Academy, and the brothers will still rely on you in the future." Liu Yu stood up and made a toast.
Afterwards, several people drank fine wine and delicious food, expressed blessings to each other, looked forward to the future, and talked about their great ambitions. It wasn't until dusk that they dispersed.
###
After more than 20 days of hard work by Taizhou Prefecture, the damage caused by the snowstorm has basically passed.
People resumed their normal lives, and farmers who planted winter wheat began to work in the fields to make up for the losses caused by the heavy snow.
On the first day of winter, Wei Mingting, who returned home from the military camp, called Wei Ruo to the study as soon as he returned home.
After Wei Ruo came in, Wei Mingting told her his decision after careful consideration - he agreed that Wei Ruo would marry the scholar named Zhao Xun.
"I have already investigated. The scholar named Zhao Xun is indeed a malleable talent. He has a clean family background. Although he is a little weak, I have seen a doctor and found that he is not in danger of life. From many aspects, he is indeed a good person. A good match. And since you like him, there is nothing to object to as a father."
"Thank you, father!"
Although this marriage was just his plan to break away from the Wei family, Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel happy to be recognized by Wei Mingting.
Then Wei Mingting said to Wei Ruo with some guilt: "Although my father has been an official for many years, he has not been able to accumulate much family property and cannot give you a generous dowry." Hearing this,
Wei Ruo couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"Father, what you have done over the years has been witnessed by all the people. You don't have to feel sad that you have not been able to save any family property. The wealth you have accumulated is far beyond what money can measure. As for the number of daughters in dowry, you don't care." Wei Ruodao.
"I am very happy that you can understand me as a father." Wei Mingting said.
