The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 308

The late spring sunlight filters through the gaps in the crabapple trees, casting dappled light and shadow on the bluestone slabs.

Autumn Swallow welcomed the warmth of spring and had a maid bring tea and pastries. The two sisters sat in the warm sunshine chatting about everyday things.

"Nuan Nuan! My best friend, you're finally here!"

He then held her hand and acted coquettishly in every way.

Sure enough, Qiu Yan, who was well cared for by Madam Qiu, still retained her innocence from back then.

That's truly a blessing.

At this moment, Qiu Yan was wearing a light pink silk dress, with a fresh crabapple blossom pinned to her temple.

"Nuan Nuan! You've finally arrived! I've been thinking about you every day lately, hoping you could come and chat with me. I..."

There are some things Qiuyan is too embarrassed to say.

After all, Chunnuan had been married into the Zhao family for more than two years, and she was eager to know how Chunnuan and the Zhao family were doing.

"This was just made by the cook. She knows you love it, so she made it especially for you." Qiu Yan looked at Chun Nuan and said, "I thought you would have lost some weight after such a long journey, but it seems my worries were unnecessary. You are still the same as always."

To be honest, Qiu Yan really envied Chun Nuan's health.

I often get headaches and fevers, but I don't have those problems when it's warm in spring.

"I'm a doctor myself, so I know what I'm doing. I also have a great appetite and eat a lot at every meal."

Chunnuan took the teacup, sipped the warm Biluochun tea, and smiled at her.

"You, on the other hand, look much lighter. Are you dieting?"

"Yes, my mother said that if I keep eating like this, I might not be able to fit into my wedding dress, and it would be too late to redo it, so she specifically told me not to eat so much."

Qiuyan was upset about this.

Spring is here... indeed, everyone has their own troubles.

"It wasn't easy for you to be a beautiful bride."

Chunnuan joked, "Second Brother will be captivated by you when he lifts the veil."

"You're talking nonsense again."

Qiu Yan felt that she was inferior to Chun Nuan and could never win an argument with her.

When the topic of marriage came up, Qiu Yan's cheeks instantly flushed red, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Looking at her shy appearance, Chunnuan teased with a smile, "Look at you, you blush as soon as marriage is mentioned. It seems that our top scholar Zhao Minglang has really captured your heart."

Qiu Yan gently punched her and said reproachfully, "Don't tease me. I owe my marriage to Minglang and you and Sister Yu'er for bringing us together. But... I'm still a little uneasy. After all, I've lived in the Qiu family for so many years. My mother said that when you marry into another family, you have to abide by their rules. I'm afraid I won't do well, and I'm also afraid my mother-in-law will be difficult to get along with."

"Don't worry unnecessarily. My mother-in-law, Zhou, is a very kind person. She is generous and considerate." Chunnuan held her hand and comforted her gently. "Take me for example. When I first married into the Zhao family, I didn't know how to do needlework. My mother even criticized me for it. But my mother-in-law not only didn't say a word, but also said that I was destined for great things. There are embroiderers to do needlework. Our Zhao family can afford to support embroiderers."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yan's eyes lit up!
I felt that my mother-in-law, Zhou, was absolutely right. It's true, if there are embroiderers available, why make them suffer so much by embroidering, and constantly have to prick their hands?

“My mother-in-law is usually very easy to get along with and kind to the servants. She has never lost her temper.” Chunnuan said, “She always has a smile on her face. People say that people who smile a lot have good luck. I think my mother-in-law has very good luck. The servants all respect her.”

How bad could someone who is kind and gentle to his servants be to his relatives and daughter-in-law?

"Besides, what Mother-in-law values ​​most is character. You are gentle and kind, so she will definitely like you. Moreover, your second brother dotes on you so much." Chunnuan smiled and said, "Minghua said that his second brother never cares about anything else, but he is completely sincere towards you. With your second brother around, you will definitely not suffer any grievances in the Zhao family."

As Qiu Yan listened, her worries gradually dissipated, and her eyes brightened.

“Really? Then I’m relieved. Actually, when I first met Minglang, I thought he was gentle and refined, and very polite. After spending more time with him, I found that he was not only very knowledgeable, but also very considerate. Knowing that I like crabapple blossoms, he specially bought several from a flower farmer outside the city and planted them in my yard.”

At this point, Qiuyan took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Chunnuan.

"Look, this is a gift from Minglang. It has my name engraved on it. He said it's a warm jade he personally selected, and wearing it will calm the mind."

Chunnuan took the jade pendant; it was warm and smooth to the touch. The character "Yan" on the pendant was exquisitely carved, showing Zhao Minglang's care. She returned the pendant to Qiuyan and said with a smile, "Second brother is really devoted to you. This marriage is a match made in heaven. Once you marry into the family, we will be sisters-in-law, and we will be able to see each other often."

"Yes, I never thought we would become a family." Qiu Yan nodded shyly, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Nuan Nuan, from now on we're family. I'll play with you then, and when we have children..." She trailed off, too embarrassed to continue.

"When we have children in the future, they can play together, which is great."

Chun Nuan picked up on her topic: "By the way, I was thinking that after you marry into our family, Chun Shang and I will go to see the flowers and fly kites. It will be a lot of fun."

"Yes, it sounds so beautiful."

Enjoying flowers and chatting while traveling in spring is sure to make life sweeter than honey.

The two sisters chatted back and forth, talking about past anecdotes and their future lives. Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on them, making them feel warm and comfortable.

Laughter echoed from the pavilion, filling the air with a joyful atmosphere, as if time itself had slowed down to preserve this beautiful moment.

"Oh, right, I'm here to help you with your makeup. Come and see, do you like it?"

Chunnuan had her maid step forward and open the jewelry. It was a set of jewelry that Chunnuan had designed herself and had made by a jewelry store.

"Nuan Nuan, it's so beautiful! Which jewelry store did you buy it from? Oh my god, I love it so much."

"I'm glad you like it." Chun Nuan smiled and said, "This is custom-made; I designed it and it was made."

"Nuan Nuan, you're always better than me, you always surprise me. I love it, I love this set of jewelry so much."

Gold jewelry has always been considered tacky among wealthy ladies, but Qiuyan feels that she likes this kind of tacky thing.

Gold is wonderful; it can be used to make jewelry, it can be used for emergencies, and most importantly, it is made of real gold.

She liked it, she liked it so much.

"I will definitely wear it on the day I return to my parents' home," Qiu Yan said. "But, Nuan Nuan, you gave me such an expensive piece of jewelry, how should I reciprocate?"
