Queen of flowers - Chapter 26

“He is the only son from the third branch of Yang’s family, Yongchang’s only son .”

Aunt Gu said, “Yang family had three sons. The third child was very talented since he was a kid. In the early twenties, he became a jinshi and became an official…”

It was a pity that the man Yang San had bad luck and encountered the epidemic during his life. He, his wife, and his two children all died of illness.

Only their eldest son, Yang Qi, remained as he was raised by furen* in the capital at that time, and escaped the misfortune.

Yang Qi Gongzi was also a smart person. But bad luck seemed to be entangled in the third branch of the Yang family. Ten years ago, Yang Qi Gongzi got a strange illness, and slowly he couldn’t move and collapsed on the bed, just like the living dead!

Over the years, the Yang family had sought medical advice, sought help from monks, and tried everything they could, but it had no effect at all!

Yang Qi Gongzi’s condition was getting worse. It was said that he couldn’t even lift his eyelids.

The previous year, in the last month of it, a famous Taoist traveled to the capital, and Mrs. Yang asked for his advice.

Qiu Taoist said that Yang Qi Gongzi was born in the year of the rooster, dragon month, dragon day. He had a good destiny. Unfortunately, Yang Qi Gongzi’s five elements lacked water, and the eight characters were slightly lighter, which couldn’t hold back such a precious life form. In order for Yang Qi Gongzi to heal, he must first change his lifestyle and find a water-born woman born in the year of the dragon, rooster month, rooster day with all five elements. That way, in addition to the preciousness of the dragon and the phoenix, it would add a good sign of “seven peace and stability,” so that the son of the Yang could be cured. At the same time, the woman’s water fate complements the eight characters. Such a life could also be blessed.

To be born in the year of the dragon, the year of the rooster, the day of the rooster, the five elements must be complete, and she must be water born—these conditions must be met. Finding such a suitable person was really a tough matter!

The Yang family informed all matchmakers inside and outside of Beijing and nearby cities that as long as they could help them find such a woman, the Yang family would pay them generously.

“… Sister, look, don’t you want this girl to have a good life?” Aunt Gu grabbed Zhou’s hand and patted it, “This is a good marriage arranged by God for Ruo! Think about it! How high is the gate of a big house? If it wasn’t for Taoist advice, for a girl from a poor family like ours, and with no father, let alone being married by as the main wife, it wouldn’t be possible to jump so high. When the girl marries and rescues Yang Qi Gongzi, the wealth of this life will come in her hands! She would wear gold, silver, and have slaves. She can also bring her two younger brothers, won’t this solve your worries? With this life-saving grace, who will dare to treat her badly? “

After the excitement, Aunt Gu frowned again, with a dignified look on her face, she said, “The only thing to worry about; Will this Chong Xi … work?!”

Zhou nodded and then was lost in her thoughts, ‘Yes! Would this Chongxi work?’

(Chongxi _It is a feudal superstition in China. Its content is to marry a patient who has not been cured for a long time and use this “happy event” to “wash away” bad luck in order to achieve the effect of curing the disease. Sometimes it is also possible to have a child marry a sick parent.)

Yong Ruo admitted that the prospect described by Aunt Gu was very good! She was very excited!

Judging from the symptoms of Yang Qi Gongzi, the ‘immobility’ and the way he ‘can’t lift his eyelids,’ she very much suspected that he was suffering from “myasthenia gravis”! She had seen such cases when she went in and out of the hospital in her last life and later checked the information on the Internet to have a little understanding of the disease.

Or maybe Yang Qi Gongzi had Hawking’s disease?

No matter what kind of disease, “Chong Xi” may or may not cure it.

But she had a system called Lulu!

If Yang Qi Gongzi’s character proved to be good, and he looked pleasing to the eye. She could get enough system points herself, and maybe have a chance to save him.

Just as Aunt Gu said, with the life-saving grace on them and her lucky eight characters, she had two layers of protective amulets. Even if their relationship didn’t work and she had no children, her status would be as stable as a mountain. No one in the Yang family would dare to treat her badly.

If Yang Qi Gongzi proved to be annoying, then she would be a widow.

After becoming a widow, she could use the excuse of chastity and refuse to remarry. She could then adopt a small baby to support her. She would have no in-laws on her head after the old lady dies, she would have her own house, and on that day, her brothers would be more nourished.

As for her life alone, she really didn’t care!

She remembered seeing on the Internet in her last life, “being single for a long time will be addictive.”

In such an era where there were misogynists everywhere without a man, a woman would live more freely. If they were single and free for a long time, they would get addicted to it!

On the contrary, if she didn’t accept the Chongxi marriage, then she would either marry in a poor family and enter the farming field; or marry a more sturdy family to fill the house and enter the house fights.

She didn’t want to have children, so she gave up the former option. Her original plan was to marry a wealthy family’s successor with children.

Now that she had a better choice, she certainly gave up the original idea without hesitation.

“Mother, this is a wonderful proposal, you accept it!” Yong Ruo sincerely said to Zhou.

Zhou’s face changed, and she reprimanded, “What do you know as a child ?! Are you an elixir? What if after marriage Yang Qi Gongzi didn’t get better. Then you will be a widow at a young age. Then Mrs. Yang will not care if you can’t save her baby grandson! If she feels resentment, she could change the law and toss you out, who would help you?” She said so much in one breath that she gasped.

Aunt Gu sighed slightly and didn’t speak.
