Chapter 316: Good intentions
Old Man Shen was silent for a moment, and his signature smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Ahahaha......"
Laughter is just as penetrating.
Lin Hui: "......"
Are you only recovering now, old man?
"Is Sister Ling unhappy?" Old Man Shen asked casually and affectionately.
Sister Ling? Out of sorts?
Lin Hui paused for a moment before she reacted, the so-called 'Sister Ling' is herself, but why should she be unhappy?
Old Man Shen understood the slightly stunned expression of Doctor Xiaolin in front of him as embarrassment.
"Gee, am I asking too directly." Old man Shen snorted again: "That kid Deyuan, he just took the wrong medicine!" On my birthday, he ate the wrong thing and fell ill, so he was asked to go back to your mansion to make amends, but two days later, this kid actually ran back to Qiongtai, saying that he suddenly remembered that he wanted to consult the books in the old mansion. ”
"Alas!" Old Man Shen sighed, his face was a little discouraged: "When the young man grows up, he won't listen to the old man." ”
Lin Hui came back to her senses, yes, the last time I came to pay my respects, there was still a blind date in it, but the other party didn't show up at all. It stands to reason that such a thing is indeed enough for the woman to be embarrassed - how ugly must it be, so that people don't even want to see each other?!
It's just that at that time, I was also thinking about how to avoid this, coupled with the vignette of the gift list and the attraction of the "Six Xuan Divine Book", I forgot it at all, and it was naturally impossible to talk about anger and the like.
"You don't mind, it's nothing. My sister was fine after she went back. Lin Hui could only lightly express her forgetfulness: "Since there is no fate." Then let's leave it at that. ”
"Uh......" Old Man Shen snorted indistinctly, and said no more reluctantly.
Lin Hui looked out the window, it was already dark, and she could see people outside.
Could it be that Old Man Shen has made up his mind to keep himself?
"My eldest granddaughter was ordered to the ninth grandson of Hai Jinghou." Old Man Shen suddenly mentioned Miss Shen thoughtlessly.
"Huh?" Lin Hui raised her eyebrows. What do you mean?
"Hmph, everyone thinks our family is high. What the hell! Haijinghou's ninth grandson is just a concubine, and his body is not good if he is small, and he is not good at martial arts, and he is not qualified to say that he is a gentleman. Old Man Shen sneered: "It's just such a person, and he actually found someone to bring a letter, saying that he wanted my second granddaughter to marry together." Make him a concubine! ”
Miss Shen is engaged. When celebrating her birthday that day, Lin Hui had heard the news, but it was the first time she had heard of letting the second lady marry. But my sister is my sister's dowry. According to the ancient rites, she is called Concubine Teng. It belongs to a type of noble concubine. It's not very unusual.
Lin Hui looked at Old Man Shen, not knowing what he meant by mentioning this matter. In any case, this is Old Man Shen's family matter. Could it be that this old man wants to stuff the second lady to himself? No way.
"I'm going to agree to that." Old Man Shen said resolutely.
Yes? This is the rhythm that makes the two sisters fight to the death. The eldest lady of the Shen family and the second miss are not in harmony with each other, and even outsiders can see it, which is said to be caused by the second lady's unwillingness to marry the Hou Mansion at a high level. But if you let the second lady accompany her to be a concubine, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to accept.
"Oh." Lin Hui responded politely. It's not good to be silent, after all, where is the old man Shen, and he just read the Shen family's book, and there must always be etiquette.
"The Shen family needs to be on the doorstep." Old man Shen didn't avoid the word 'pong': "I can only be on the honor, and those who are officials are even more noble to death, and I can't do it if I want to." ”
That's not what I said, Lin Hui thought to herself, if your old man is willing to marry his granddaughter to a poor Beijing official, isn't it okay? It's just that what you want is the powerful, and the powerful high-ranking officials can't be nearby, so you just choose a powerful noble family.
In fact, if the Shen family is willing to put down his body and marry his daughter to a high-ranking official with real power as a concubine, it should be okay. It's just that if it's a concubine, it can't be regarded as a formal marriage, and whether you can borrow the power of your grandson-in-law depends on the means of your granddaughter's favor, and there are too many uncertainties.
"Is there only one way to get married?" Lin Hui couldn't help but say. In fact, what Lin Hui wants to say is that why do you always want to rely on the strength of others, but you can't rely on yourself?
Old Man Shen reached out and picked up the long slip on the table and picked out the lantern. There was a soft sound, and the light became brighter and brighter, reflecting the round cheeks of Old Man Shen red, and the two flames in his eyes jumped, but they flashed helplessly.
"How could I be willing to use my son, daughter, grandchildren as bargaining chips." Old Man Shen smiled self-deprecatingly, and threw down the long sign in his hand: "It's a pity that the Shen family is not as good as the generation!" If you don't find a thigh to hold, I'm afraid that there will be no Qiongtai Shen family soon. ”
"Today's Shen family, if you want talents, you don't have talents, you don't have power, and if you don't find a few decent in-laws, you really can't survive."
Old Man Shen looked at Lin Hui and sneered: "Mr. Lin, do you know, when Imperial Doctor Jia told me that your master may have betrothed to your sister with a family surnamed Shen, and wanted to inquire if it was my family, I moved my mind." ”
"In order to have a matching jade pendant, I asked people to buy common styles on the market, and I also found someone to make a few uncommon ones, and sure enough, there was a suitable one."
Lin Hui: Does "......" need to be so deliberate? What Mr. Shen said is indeed feasible, in fact, there are only a few styles of jade pendants, which are nothing more than round, rectangular, oval, swastika, Fuzi, gossip patterns, flowers, birds, fish and insects.
"In fact, every person who matches a jade pendant is Deyuan." Old man Shen was a little lonely: "The younger generation of the Shen family, only Deyuan can still handle it." If even Deyuan can't impress Ling Mei, then others will be even more hopeless. ”
"Hehe, Old Man Shen is really well-intentioned." Lin Hui couldn't help but stab Old Man Shen.
Old Man Shen didn't look ashamed, and asked rhetorically: "The needle method used by your brothers and sisters is the same as that contained in our Shen family's "Six Xuan Divine Book", right?" ”
Is this clear? Is it in the same vein? Yes, but it's a glimpse into the future.
Lin Hui smiled: "Yes, it should indeed be in the same vein." It's just that our acupuncture method is called the Nine Xuan Needle. ”
"Jiuxuan ......." Old Man Shen was silent.
Just from the name, Jiuxuan is taller than Liuxuan, and judging from the medical skills shown, Xiaolin's brother and sister are indeed slightly better.
"Actually, I saw it when you were in the palace to treat the sixteenth princess." Old Man Shen's eyes lit up: "The two of us, if we can merge into one, we will definitely be able to ...... the six mysteries Carry forward the Nine Xuan Acupuncture Method! (To be continued.) )
