In the end it was a secret edict, while Yu Rong was slandering, he went back and carefully read the words on the booklet... It's hard to admit, but in his heart, he was a little in awe of the officials.

Then I decided that, except for some words that were too nasty, the words between the lines were indeed sincere, and the officials seemed to be sincere, and wanted to "betroth" his eldest nephew to a village doctor?

Yu Rong stared at Mi Zhe closely, but his eyes were empty. If you look closely, you can see that his eyes are full of confusion.

half an hour.

"Rong'er," Nie Xinzhi asked in a low voice, "how about it?"

Yu Rong came back to his senses, and asked back: "Why did the officials suddenly issue this secret decree?"

Nie Xinzhi said nonchalantly: "Rong'er has reached the age of weak crown."

Yu Rong nodded slightly.

It is true that in a few months it will be [-] years old, but I don't understand what this has to do with the official "marriage".

Nie Xinzhi then reminded: "Marriage Law No. 18."

marriage law?Yu Rong reacted for a while, and suddenly realized that what the other party was talking about was the Min Dynasty marriage law.

Some black lines.

Even if he has roughly read the law, how can he remember a certain number of laws clearly?

"What does marriage law No. 18 say?" Yu Rong joked, "You don't want to be married when you reach [-], do you?"

Unexpectedly, his elder brother nodded after hearing this.

Yu Rong was dumbfounded: "Really?"

Is Min Dynasty's laws so weird?

Nie Xinzhi made a slight correction: "For those who are not married at the full age, the tax payment will be increased year by year."

Yu Rong subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's just a tax, and the marriage law is not so strict that it's a crime not to marry.

Although he still finds it weird, but with this decree, Yu Rong barely understood the official's "good intentions", and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lingered for a moment on the man's tough and slightly rough face.

He smiled and asked, "Could it be that elder brother has also paid single tax for so many years?"

Nie Xinzhi nodded slightly.

I really didn't expect...

Yu Rong couldn't help but be dumbfounded: This Ming Dynasty marriage law is also unfriendly to single dogs, right?

"Such a regulation... wouldn't it be a little harsh?" He was still puzzled, "Aside from other things, if someone's family is poor and can't marry a daughter-in-law, then the tax penalty will make things worse?"

Nie Xin's reply: "With exceptions, you are not allowed to be married."

Yu Rong was a little sweaty when he heard the words, in this era, the feeling of being forbidden to marry by the law is even worse!

"So," he pulled back the topic, focusing on the secret booklet, "the government kindly asked us to pay less tax?"

Nie Xinzhi said calmly: "The imperial court has a post of matchmaker."

Media?

Yu Rong hesitated, "Is it the official media?"

Nie Xinzhi nodded and said nothing more.

Yu Rong tilted his head, recalling the customs annals he had read before, and remembered that it had mentioned in it that the official media would set a fixed date every year to organize blind dates for older unmarried men and women.

Now it seems that the standard for this older age is a man in his twenties?

Blessed to the soul.

After being late for a long time, Yu Rong finally came to his senses, glanced at his elder brother, and said that the marriage law was purely for reasons, anyway, this guy has paid taxes for so many years, the real intention is probably...

"Brother is worried that the official media will arrange a blind date for me?"

Private media or something, no one (dare to) approach them in Qinglian, the official media...

According to the current righteousness, there must be a set of procedures and business affairs.

Nie Xinzhi fell silent.

Yu Rong raised the corners of his mouth and said, why this man somehow took him to Ningtai Temple to ask for a marriage lottery.

"Please also tell me, brother, that this secret decree was really initiated by the officials... Ugh!"

His mouth was gagged for a long time, and he almost didn't die.Yu Rong struggled to "escape" from his elder brother, gasping for breath, and glared at the man "angrily"——

A guy who will play tricks!

At this time, Nie Xinzhi said solemnly: "It's late at night, go to sleep."

Yu Rong couldn't help being speechless.What was it that made him sleepless in the middle of the night?

After making complaints about it, he suddenly remembered Wu Yi, and he joked with a smile: "My brother and I are having sex without a matchmaker now, right?"

Nie Xinzhi was silent.

Not caring whether the other party responded or not, Yu Rong squinted his eyes unconsciously, and muttered: "I saw in the customs annals that the contract between a man and a man who is said to be serious is like a marriage between a man and a woman. There are three matchmakers and six certificates, three books and six certificates. present."

Not only that, but also divided into first marriage, second marriage and so on.If someone like him and Nie Xinzhi who "have a relationship without a matchmaker" want to find someone else to form a bond, they are often regarded as "a dead flower and a lost willow", and they are worthless... 囧.

Aware of this "cruel reality", Yu Rong raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and said with a smile, "Since it is the official's order, then I will not find a matchmaker to go to the Prince's Palace to make a match? Oh, and I have to prepare a dowry..."

He didn't finish his words, and was "blocked" for the second time.He thought in a daze: Could it be that the meal in the evening was too much, and my brother is too agitated!

After obtaining the official's secret decree, Yu Rong promised his elder brother to return to the capital together at that time.

Although the so-called "marriage offer" was actually Nie Xinzhi's scheming, but seeing that the other party's "marriage proposal" was extremely eager and sincere, he reluctantly refused... Cough, joking Words.

It's purely that after a whole year of "combination of milk and milk", Yu Rong, who had doubts about the relationship at the beginning, completely believed in his elder brother unconsciously.

According to the sense of innocence, the contract should be formalized. After all, in this era, "unmarried sex" is actually not the work of a gentleman.

In this situation, where the situation comes, it is only natural to yearn for coma.

Made up his mind, but didn't leave right away.

As a doctor, Yu Rongdang should do his duty to the patients, especially this time the patients are quite special, they are a bunch of abducted children. One hundred days of muscle and bone, not waiting for a period of time to observe, just leave in such a hurry, it is inevitable to feel uneasy.

Anyway, the officials didn't limit the time for him to go to Beijing, and the signing of the contract would have to wait until the weak crown ceremony, so there was no shortage of time.

Nie Xinzhi naturally understood this, so he also stayed in Li County. If he was not on a "business trip", no matter where he was, it would not affect his handling of official duties.

"I've seen your son."

Yu Rong, who was drying the herbs, looked over at the sound, and smiled slightly: "So it's Cheng Lishi..." It was the "delivery brother" from Ni Yiwei, "Long time no see, everything is okay?"

Cheng Lishi nodded slightly: "Very good, thank you for your concern, my lord," then changed the subject, "We will pass through Xiaoyanjing in a few days, what do you need to bring, my lord?"

Yu Rong didn't refuse his kindness, and said, "It's still for Kuang Wanchuntang, a box of medicine."

Cheng Lishi complied.

Yu Rong thanked with a smile, looked up, and inadvertently saw the purple dots on the other side's arms, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Does a burly man like Cheng Lishi also like Dai Hua?

Min Chao's male aesthetics are really "fascinating".

Looking closely, I feel even more speechless.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Rong still asked: "I don't take the liberty to ask, Cheng Lishi, the flower on your head..."

Cheng Lishi said with a smile: "When I passed by Huanghuapo, I saw a piece of purple flowers blooming very beautifully, so I folded some hairpins and put them on the hat." Picking is the best, and I’m afraid it will wither if it’s too late.”

Yu Rong really likes this flower, but not because of its shape, but...

"Does Cheng Lishi know what kind of flower it is?"

Cheng Lishi replied: "I don't know about it. I often see it growing in the wild. It's probably the most common. I usually see white flowers in summer. I didn't expect there to be purple flowers. I love this color."

The beauty of mystery.

Yu Rong suppressed the heart of complaining, and explained in a gentle voice: "This is the mandala."

Obviously, Cheng Lishi didn't know anything about medicinal herbs, and his face was blank.

Yu Rong said: "The Mongolian sweat medicine is made from it."

Cheng Lishi was surprised and said: "I didn't expect this little purple flower to have such abilities."

Yu Rong glanced at the man who was smiling silly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Did this guy not understand what he said?

He bluntly said: "The roots and leaves of Datura are all poisonous, Cheng Lishi should be cautious."

Of course, normal contact, not taking Datura directly, is not so easy to be poisoned.However, since it is a poisonous thing, it is better to be a little careful.

Cheng Lishi suddenly realized: "Thank you for reminding me, young master, I will pay attention to it."

Yu Rong nodded slightly, without further words.

When Cheng Lishi left, he looked up at the sun, thinking that he had nothing to do for the time being, so he decisively found a basket and left home for Huanghuapo.

Aren't the datura flowers in full bloom just a ready-made medicine!

This thing is not only used to make Mongolian sweat medicine.

The famous Mafeisan is also produced by it-in modern times, people have not yet determined the composition of Mafeisan, so it is inferred that it is Datura or hyacinth. Cleverly use the two as a combination.

During this period of time, Yu Rong has been researching bone diseases. It is inevitable that "surgery" is needed to treat bone diseases, and anesthesia is indispensable. After all, not everyone can be the second master of Guan.

He hadn't specially developed Mafeisan before, so he happened to meet Mandala, so he should think about it when he has free time.

Not long after, people arrived at Huanghuapo.

It is said to be Po, but it is actually in the city, not far from where he lives temporarily, and it is similar to a "park in the middle of the street".

Walking through the thin bamboo forest and walking along the pond, I saw a bright purple and demon red on the small slope.

The brilliant purple is the purple flower mandala, and the demon red is the red flower oleander.

Okay!One is more poisonous than the other.

Yu Rong shook his head, stopped thinking, and picked the purple flowers.

Generally speaking, datura flowers will bloom later, probably because the climate in Li County is warmer, or the temperature is relatively high this year, and the flowers blooming on the slopes are really full of energy.

Since it is a thing without an owner, Yu Rong is not polite when picking it.

"beauty……"

Hearing the call from behind, Yu Rong didn't realize who the other party was calling at all, and frowned subconsciously, feeling very unimpressed by the blustery guy.

"beauty!"

The young male voice moved closer.

Putting the picked fresh and tender purple flowers into the bamboo basket, Yu Rong turned around and followed the sound.

A few feet away, a young man in his eighteenth or nineteenth year laughed... probably because he thought he was flirtatious?He was full of miscellaneous colors, but he couldn't afford the brocade clothes, which seemed to be a pheasant dressed in a white pheasant.

The "pheasant" youth met Yu Rong's gaze, and immediately smiled even more happily, and hurriedly called again: "Beautiful...cough," as if realizing something was wrong, he changed his words, "I've seen the elder sister, I'm so polite."

Yu Rong: "..."

What?So the beauty called him?big sister...

Damn...cough!Who should I call Big Sister?

Seeing Yu Rong ignoring him, the "pheasant" young man eagerly reminded him: "I think you don't remember Xiaosheng. You once saved Xiaosheng's life with righteousness. Do you still have memories?"

Hua Chao... By the way, he has saved two guys from beetle's nests.

"Big sister's life-saving grace, Xiaosheng will never forget it." The young man "Pheasant" continued, "Xiaosheng has been looking around for news about you, big sister, but unfortunately there is still no news of you for more than a month." In the beautiful scenery before, I actually reunited with my eldest sister..."

Yu Rong felt his forehead twitch.

"Big Sister" "Big Sister", if this guy yells again, believe it or not, he will really beat someone up.
