Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Dong Jiafu couldn't resist, so he had no choice but to take her to Hui'an Hall as Tian Xiaojuan wished.

"Second Brother Tan—" Tian Xiaojuan saw Tan Hao's figure before she entered the door. She let go of the arm that had dragged Dong Jiafu away and ran in happily.

Dong Jiafu finally got relief, rubbed her arms and followed.

Tian Xiaojuan ran to Tan Hao and stopped, put on a very ladylike posture, and said softly: "Brother Tan, what are you doing?"

"Oh," Tan Hao lowered his head and glanced at the bamboo basket in his hand, "I'm going to dry the medicinal materials."

"I'm here to help you. I'm the most careful in my work." Tian Xiaojuan said and was about to pick up the basket containing the medicinal materials in his hand.

Tan Hao quickly dodged, "No, there are many medicinal materials that are hard to distinguish, and people who don't know about them might get confused. Are you here to see a doctor or get medicine? I'll arrange it for you."

"No, I'm..." Tian Xiaojuan still knew how to be reserved. Naturally, she couldn't directly say that she came to see him. When she was thinking about excuses, she happened to see Dong Jiafu coming in, so she pulled her over and said, "Jiafu lives next door to my house. I know she is working here, so I came to take a look out of curiosity."

"Miss Dong, you are here." Tan Hao greeted Dong Jiafu with a smile.

"Senior brother, you have been busy so early."

Tan Hao had not yet received treatment alone and stubbornly refused to allow others to call him doctor. Dong Jiafu followed Tan Lang in Chinese medicine and called him senior brother along with the apprentices.

"Yeah, it rained all day yesterday, but it's sunny today. I took out the medicinal materials to dry them."

"Is Miss Dong here?" Dr. Tan's voice came from the consulting room.

Tan Hao replied, turned to Dong Jiafu and said, "Go over quickly, there is a patient inside."

, my dad wants you to follow along and take a look. "

"Well, I'll go first then." Dong Jiafu glanced at Tian Xiaojuan and saw that her eyes were bright, as if she was eager to let him go quickly.

Knowing that she wanted to be alone with Tan Hao, Dong Jiafu left wisely.

Sure enough, after not taking a few steps, Tian Xiaojuan heard from behind: "Brother Tan, Jiafu has something to do, so I can't bother you. I'm idle and bored, so just let me go to apply for medicine with you. I promise I won't." Tampering with medicinal materials.”

After a while, I heard Tan Hao say with a little helplessness in his tone: "Okay then."

Dong Jiafu curled up her lips. Could it be that a woman is really chasing a man? She quite admired Tian Xiaojuan. She took the initiative to pursue people she liked and created opportunities herself when there were no opportunities. This was especially rare in this place.

In recent days, Dong Jiafu has been learning acupuncture from Tan Lang, so when the time is right, Tan Lang will call her over to watch him diagnose and treat patients.

Dong Jiafu spent the morning working with Dr. Tan, and in the afternoon an old man came to look for her.

Tian Xiaojuan followed Tan Hao for most of the day, and Tan Hao was extremely disturbed. After finally seeing Dong Jiafu free, he took Tian Xiaojuan to her room and left as if running away.

"Oh, Brother Tan!" Tian Xiaojuan pouted and stamped her feet behind her. When his back disappeared from sight, she reluctantly turned around and sat down.

Dong Jiafu poured a glass of water for her and remained silent.

Tian Xiaojuan picked up the water cup and drank it in one go. Finally, she put the cup on the table without hesitation and said angrily: "Jia Fu, tell me, does Brother Tan like me?"

Dong Jiafu waved her hands quickly, "I don't know about this.

. "

"I've made it so obvious that even the apprentices at the medical center can see it. It's impossible for him not to know. But since he knows why he refuses to come to my house to propose marriage and still avoids me, does he really not like me? "

Different from the high spirits when she came, Tian Xiaojuan's face was slumped at this time and she was very depressed.

Dong Jiafu couldn't say much about emotional matters, "Senior brother, he is obsessed with improving his medical skills and can't take any time off all day long. He probably didn't avoid you on purpose. I'm afraid you're overthinking it."

"But I'm anxious. I'm already eighteen years old this year, and I can't afford to wait if he keeps being so silent."

Dong Jiafu thought for a while and said, "Instead of guessing here, you might as well ask him directly."

"This..." Tian Xiaojuan suddenly blushed and squirmed, "How can I, a girl, have the nerve to ask?"

Dong Jiafu thought that no matter how proactive and bold Tian Xiaojuan was, the marriage between men and women here was ultimately decided by their parents, and the man had to express his opinion first.

"I remember you said that your family seems to be related to your senior brother's family..."

"My grandmother and brother Tan's grandmother are cousins." Tian Xiaojuan said seriously.

Dong Jiafu couldn't figure out the relationship between them for a while, but they were just distant relatives.

"If you are in such a hurry, why not ask your mother to help you find out what their family is like."

Tian Xiaojuan said disappointedly: "If my mother has a strong temper, she won't help me. Thank God if she doesn't scold me."

"Then I can't help you."

Tian Xiaojuan suddenly turned around and said, "You are not allowed to like Brother Tan."

"Ah?" Dong Jiafu didn't react at first, but then she couldn't help laughing, "You're overthinking."

"No, I won't let go

Heart, you swear. "

"Okay, I swear," Dong Jiafu raised her hand, "I won't like your second brother Tan."

Seeing her being so straightforward, Tian Xiaojuan began to think wildly again, "Second Brother Tan, we are all outstanding men in terms of origin and personality. You can't even look down on him, so what kind of person can catch your eye?"

Tian Xiaojuan thought to herself: Her second brother, who has a shaved head and a hot head, is probably out of business. The two brothers and sisters really have the same problem.

Dong Jiafu was startled. What she wanted was for two people to be in the same mind, like each other, and tolerate each other. They only have each other in this life, and those external things are secondary.

She came back to her senses and joked: "What, it's not enough that I don't like senior brother, how about I like him?"

"How dare you—" Tian Xiaojuan's eyes widened.

With Tian Xiaojuan here, Dong Jiafu can't do anything else. She checked the time and saw that no more patients would come, so she told Dr. Tan and went back with Tian Xiaojuan.

Back in the courtyard, Dong Jiafu was just about to wash the vegetables when she heard a knock on the door outside. When she went out, she saw it was Tian Dali.

Tian Dali still had his hands empty this time, carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back, "Miss Dong, I saw that you were running out of firewood in the kitchen this morning, so I went up the mountain to chop some and bring them to you."

"What's so funny..."

Before Dong Jiafu could finish speaking, Tian Dali spoke again: "You don't have to be polite to me. It's inconvenient for a girl like you to handle these things. I'll put them in the kitchen for you."

Dong Jiafu had no choice but to step aside to let him in, and followed him to put the firewood in the kitchen.

"Thank you so much, Brother Tian Er."

Dong Jiafu watched him pile the firewood neatly in the corner.

Tian Dali straightened up.

He patted the dust on his hands and smiled, "I am a rough man, and I just do some rough work like this."

He turned around and saw that there was not much water in the water tank. He picked up two wooden buckets and went to the yard to fetch water.

Dong Jiafu hurriedly followed, "Brother Tian, ​​I can do it myself, I won't bother you."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of convenience. You are weak and it is inconvenient to fetch water. I will fill the water tank in no time."

While he was talking, he had already fetched two buckets of water from the well, holding one in each hand, walking fast and steady, without spilling any water.

Dong Jiafu had to lament the natural disparity in strength between men and women. In the past, she had to carry half a bucket of water with both hands, and she had to stop and rest on the way to the kitchen.

Tian Dali poured the water into the water tank and quickly came out. When he was about to fetch water again, he heard Mrs. Tian's loud shout from next door.

"Dali, Tian Dali, come back!"
