Chapter 795: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 795: The Cause of Rebirth (4)
The more Mo Yan thought about it, the more she believed it was possible. She frowned and said, "Although many people's fates have changed, some things that are meant to happen will still happen. Like the plague in the south you mentioned. However, this time the court should find a way to resolve it, instead of burning the city down like in that life. As for the war... as long as Da Chu remains strong, even if foreign invaders come, they won't succeed. Perhaps the war won't happen at all!"
In that case, she really had to focus on studying medicine. If the great plague did occur and she couldn't find a cure, who knew if fate would take another turn and lead her toward the events of the first life?
Moreover, the events that were meant to happen hadn’t been reduced; they had simply been altered by her existence, changing the bad outcomes. In her first life, she had accidentally found a master to teach her. In this life, although things were different, she had met Master Xue through Xin’er, and now she was learning medicine from him, proving that some things were truly unavoidable.
For this reason, Mo Yan, who hadn’t been very concerned about medicine before, decided to study under Physician Du seriously. Regardless of whether the plague happened or not, learning another skill could never hurt.
"Yan Yan, it’s good that you think this way. Don’t worry, with me here, your medical skills will be better than in your past life," Xue Tuanzi said, pleased with Mo Yan's resolve.
According to its deductions, the plague was likely to occur. If Mo Yan truly found a cure, it would be a huge merit, and perhaps at that time, Xue Tuanzi could finally take a physical form and leave the space.
Mo Yan gently rubbed Xue Tuanzi, feeling its soft white skin and the quiet pulse beneath it. Her agitated mind gradually calmed, and she held it in her arms, remaining silent for a long time.
After the little New Year, Mo Yan delivered the New Year gifts to the various families and, with a cart full of prepared medicinal herbs and gifts, went to the medical clinic to urgently ask Physician Du to accompany her back to her home for the New Year.
Ever since she learned that Physician Du had been her master in her first life, Mo Yan had felt much closer to him. Not only did she treat him as her master, but she also regarded him as a grandfather-like figure.
Physician Du had lived a lonely life for many years. After sending the young apprentices home for the New Year, he would stay alone at the clinic. Although he had grown accustomed to it over time, the loneliness and sorrow still lingered in his heart.
When his only disciple cared for him, Physician Du was naturally very happy and didn’t hesitate to accept her invitation. That afternoon, he packed up his things and went back to the Mo family with Mo Yan.
On the 28th day of the twelfth month, after taking time off for the New Year, Xiao Ruiyuan arrived at the Mo family home with New Year gifts, receiving a warm welcome from everyone except Mo Qingze.
Knowing that his future father-in-law was unlikely to treat him kindly, Xiao Ruiyuan cleverly refrained from trying to approach Mo Yan and instead brought up the topic of her upcoming coming-of-age ceremony in March.
The coming-of-age ceremony for a girl was an incredibly important day in her life. Any family that loved their daughter, even if poor, would do their best to celebrate this occasion.
Mo Qingze was satisfied that Xiao Ruiyuan remembered his daughter's birthday, and his stern face softened. "Yan Yan’s coming-of-age ceremony will be held earlier, on the 3rd of March."
A coming-of-age ceremony was typically held on a girl's birthday. However, if her birthdate was considered inauspicious, a different lucky date would be chosen, hoping to bring good fortune to the girl.
Mo Yan was born on the first day of April, and according to her birth chart, it suggested a life of loneliness and hardship, which was rather unfavorable. Although such beliefs were not entirely reliable, Mo Yan’s first life had seen her family scattered and her remaining unmarried, which seemed to prove the inauspiciousness of her birth.
Mo Qingze didn’t believe in such things, but when it came to his daughter, he had to be cautious. After thoroughly consulting the almanac, he settled on the 3rd of March, which was the Shangsi Festival. Girls born on this day were believed to be kind and filial, often receiving more love from their families. When they grew up and married, their husbands’ families would hold them in higher regard.
Although it was a rare lucky day, it wasn’t entirely in line with Mo Yan's situation. But changing the date of the ceremony had its own rules. It could be moved earlier, but not later. This was the best date Mo Qingze could choose.
"The 3rd of March is a good day. If Uncle Mo doesn't mind, I would like to come over a bit earlier to help with the preparations," Xiao Ruiyuan said.
Xiao Ruiyuan, not knowing that the 1st of April wasn’t considered a good day for Mo Yan, was pleased when Mo Qingze chose the Shangsi Festival, as it provided a three-day holiday. He had already started planning how to spend those three days with his beloved Mo Yan.
