Chapter 224: Betrothed?

Lin Hui estimated that the recovery of Xie Chao and Wu Bang would definitely have a certain impact, and she was ready to be visited.

Unexpectedly, the first person to come to the door was Mr. Shen.

Since the last time he left the palace, he has been going his own way, and he didn't have much contact with him later, and Lin Hui was so busy with Xie Wu that he almost forgot about this old man Shen.

However, she asked Team Feng to send someone to inquire about the Shen family. The Shen family is a well-known family, and Team Feng didn't make much effort to find a lot of news.

The ancestral home and ancestral house of the Shen family are in Qiongtai, not far from Changyi, and they are a very famous family in the local area. The ancestor of the Shen family is a legendary figure, and it is said that when he was a teenager, he was known for his intelligence, not only to improve his studies, but also to receive guidance from masters, and his medical skills were also very high.

Later, the ancestor of the Shen family won the position of Tanhua at the age of a weak crown, and his fame was famous. Later, he entered the Hanlin Academy, and then became the attendant of the East Palace at that time, and then ...... There was no later. The Eastern Palace of the previous dynasty was unfortunately killed in the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Change, and the fate of the auxiliary ministers was very uneven. The ancestor of the Shen family was demoted out of Beijing, and in anger, he simply resigned from his official position, devoted himself to medicine, and finally became a generation of masters, passing on the golden needle.

Now passed down from generation to generation, although the Shen family also has a time of decline, there is always an excellent time to rise, and there are also children who become officials, and they still have a stable place. And because Qiongtai is close to the capital, the Shen family has many people practicing medicine in Changyi, so it is called the same as the Yao family of Baicaotang.

The old man Shen recommended by the Nan'an Royal Mansion to enter the palace is the current head of the Shen family.

This old man Shen is not like the heads of other families, one by one, who lives in a simple and unfathomable appearance. I like to walk around and leave a lot of good stories in Changyi City. It is said that several of his disciples and sons-in-law were brought by chance while traveling around.

Lin Hui actually had a good impression of this old man with a wide heart, a fat body and a big voice, such a person would not make a bad move at first glance.

Old man Shen didn't come empty-handed, so he brought two boxes of snacks. With his identity, it is very face-saving to sit in the junior's house and get some food. It is said that this dim sum was bought from Juwei Zhai on the way, and it is the most famous chicken cake and almond glutinous rice cake.

A little bit is just right, Lin Hui really doesn't have anything to entertain here. At the moment, he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and dismantled the dim sum. The two of them drank tea and ate snacks. This signature dim sum tastes really good. The chicken cake is sweet and salty, sweet and crispy, and the almond glutinous rice cake is delicate and has a long entrance, and there are no more pieces left.

Old Man Shen studied Lin Huichong's Quzhou flakes with great interest. This tea was brought by Lin Hui from the emperor, of course it is a good thing.

"Why don't you have anyone here?" Old Man Shen looked at the door strangely.

Generally, people with a little bit of family background. It doesn't work. How can I get a few people to decorate the faΓ§ade. For example, pour a cup of tea and water when a guest comes. Standing at the doorway and standing in the rules or something.

"It's a small house, and I don't need anyone. Besides, the days in the capital are short, and I didn't spare my hands for a while. "There are too many secrets for people to know. This cannot be said.

In addition to the two cooks hired by the cook, Lin Hui now uses a helper similar to a part-time worker, and finds two aunts nearby to come over to clean every day. In addition, Su'e Xiao Keer will take care of it.

Hearing Old Man Shen mention this, Lin Hui remembered that Xiao Fengxian came, and she had to go to the Dongjing Mansion to see her.

After saying a few words that were not nutritious, Old Man Shen smiled and said what he meant: "I heard, you still have a sister?" ”

Lin Hui's scalp went numb.

Sure enough, this is it. Ever since that time, Imperial Doctor Jia searched for the root cause and asked the so-called master to the family of the sister who betrothed her, Lin Hui felt that the situation was not good.

At that time, he replied casually that the other party's surname was Shen, and now Mr. Shen is not here?

"I heard that your sister's medical skills are also very good, on par with you?"

"Yes."

"I heard that your sister looks exactly like you?"

"Yes."

"I heard that your master told your sister about a doll kiss?" Old Man Shen's slightly swaying head was shiny, and his eyes were full of interest.

"Yes."

Lin Hui is ready, if Old Man Shen continues to ask if the other party's surname is Shen, then he can only pinch his nose and say yes. Who knew that Old Man Shen didn't ask this.

"That piece of betrothed jade pendant, can you show me?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Lin Hui hesitated for a moment, thinking that it would be good if this was the case, and it would be good to end the matter. Because of this before, I had bought a piece of jade to prepare. Could it be that Old Man Shen can still make a couple?

"Well, this is it." Lin Hui took out the jade pendant from the back room.

The round green jade pendant has a gossip pattern in the middle and is surrounded by a swastika pattern decoration.

Since it is an old friend of the master, it is reasonable that this jade pendant has a bit of a Taoist atmosphere. Lin Hui's mind is still very delicate.

It's just that...... Old Man Shen's expression made Lin Hui's bad feeling in her heart even better.

"Hehehe, hahaha......" Old Man Shen suddenly laughed happily.

Don't laugh, the roof is about to be lifted.

Old man Shen is holding a cloth bag on his arm, which can be pulled and carried, and when there are many things in his arms that cannot be fitted, it is very convenient to use the blanket.

There are a lot of purses in the blanket.

These purses are made of simple indigo silk cotton, and the style is simple and elegant. Inside...... It's all jade pendants.

Old Man Shen was like a child playing a matching game, tearing one on the left and one on the right, and he was still muttering: "There must be, there must be, I've seen it before...... It's not this, it's not this...... That's right! ”

Finally, among one of the purses, there was an identical green jade pendant, which was also a gossip pattern.

How can this be?!

Could it be that the Shen family is a jade pendant collection? Lin Hui stared at the several purses that were opened by Old Man Shen, not to mention, the jade pendants among them are quite good, mostly white jade, and there is no shortage of green jade and topaz.

There is not only a jade pendant in the purse, but also an origami paper. I saw Old Man Shen chanting while unfolding: "Look at who is so blessed." Oh, it's the seventh in the fourth room, well, this kid is not bad. As he spoke, he handed the note to Lin Hui.

I saw someone's birth date and name written on it.

According to Old Man Shen's meaning, Lin Hui is engaged to this Shen Deyuan.

Is this how you are engaged?

Lin Hui only felt bitter in her mouth, how could it be so coincidental? Look at the jade pendant is indeed the same, and the color of this note is yellow, and it doesn't look like it was written temporarily.

"Ahem, ahem." Lin Hui cleared her throat: "May I ask Old Man Shen, where did these jade pendants come from?" ”

"This is still what my old lady saved back then." Old man Shen is simply happy to promote the marriage of juniors: "The old lady is not involved in family affairs after the year of the sixtieth year, and likes to collect some jade collections." Xiuzhen asked in his spare time, visited friends from time to time, and when he saw someone who met his eyes, he often gave away his favorite favorites for nothing! ”

When people get older, their mentality will be different from when they were younger. (To be continued......)
