Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 28 100,000 yuan
Lan Wang planned to find a way to get the 100,000 gold first.
With an injection of 100,000 gold, the traversal trio can start farming while luring snakes out of their holes and finding the inner ghosts lurking in the workshop.
As for where the 100,000 gold came from...... That is naturally the family surnamed Shen that Ancestor Shangshu once mentioned before!
The next morning, Lan Wang, who had finally gotten rid of the entanglement between his cheap parents and the old housekeeper, finally went out. His first stop was not to go to the house surnamed Shen first, but to the breakfast stall on the corner as usual.
He had to find Zu Yuan Zu Shangshu first.
Sure enough, Shang Shu was chatting with Prince Wen there and playing chess at the same time.
"Oh, it's Dr. Lan! No, no, no, the old man is rude, he still has to call Master Lan! Zu Shangshu smiled as soon as he saw Lan Wang walking in from afar, "Lan Dashao really thundered and made the Jianglong Gang, a giant of the water, disappear as soon as he made a move, the old man really admires it!" β
"Zu Shangshu, Prince Wen already made fun of the kid yesterday, don't make fun of your juniors!" Lan Wang replied with a smile and a smile.
"The kid is here to confirm: Is this Shen family's house at the end of Guiyang Street?"
When Zu Yuan heard this, his expression became serious: "It seems that you kid still can't hold it back, and you're going to apply for the unveiling of the list!" The old man is absolutely trustworthy about your young master Lan's medical skills, and it is about easy to cure the illness of the Shen family's kid. I'm worried about one thing right now:
The Shen family's son's illness has not been cured for a long time, not only has he suffered a lot, but even the rest of the Shen family is worried about him. There were also many people who came to unveil the list before, but the results were all charlatans, not to mention that the disease was not cured, but the condition worsened! By now, the Shen family had become frightened birds, they couldn't trust anyone, and they were suspicious and even hostile to the doctors who came from all over to treat their eldest son. You kid is indeed capable, but your temper is not small - I'm afraid that you will suffer a loss after entering the Shen family's mansion! β
Zu Yuan continued to say thoughtfully: "It's better to be like this, my old man will pull down his old face and accompany you today, and see if this Shen family will give me, their old enemy, a little face!" β
Lan Wang's eyes froze. He only remembered that Zu Shangshu had said that the young master of the Shen family and him had different political views, but he didn't say that there was a deeper holiday between the two of them.
The mercenary's instinct told him that there must be a story in it.
"Since Shangshu said so, then the kid will borrow Shangshu's light this time!"
The Shen family's mansion occupies a large area at the end of Guiyang Street. The main entrance of the house is very wide, the lintel is very high, the ebony is made of beams and columns, the plaque is bronzing, and the gatehouse is octagonal with heavy eaves, which can be said to be extraordinary. However, what is strange is that such a big local mansion is full of dead air at this timeβthe kind of dead air that is lifeless. The courtyard was so silent that not even a birdsong could be heard; It was already the season for all kinds of plants and trees to bloom, but the branches of the flowers and trees sticking out of the wall next to the door were bare, and not even a single green leaf could be seen.
Lan Wang tried to walk up and called the door: "But is anyone there?" Lan Wang, the doctor in the Lan Medical Center, came to apply! β
It's all at this time, and Lan Wang doesn't plan to use a fake name anymore.
But no one in the door answered him.
"Lan Wang, the doctor sitting in the Lan Medical Hall, is here to apply!"
There was still silence in the courtyard.
Just as Zu Shangshu and Lan Wang looked at each other, a small crack opened in the door with a "squeak".
A warm but haggard voice came out: "Is it Lang Zhong?" β
"yes, yes! The boy Lan Wang, recommended by the ancestor Shangshu, came to treat the son of your family. Although Lan Wang couldn't see the face of the person behind the door clearly, he could vaguely tell from the voice that it was a woman.
The gap in the door of the house was pushed wider open.
The face of a beautiful but haggard young woman was revealed. The woman combed the married woman's hair in a bun, and between the strands of hair was a most unpretentious wooden hairpin, and a few strands of hair were not tidied up, hanging down from the corners of her forehead very casually. She wore a washed and somewhat whitish green cloth shirt, and the girdle was loosely tied around her waist. The woman's face is not very bright and stunning at first glance, but it is gentle and gentle, beautiful and intellectual, and belongs to the typical appearance that becomes more and more durable the more you look at it.
Rao is our Lan Da Young Master is very determined, and he was also stunned for a moment at this time.
Fortunately, Lan Wang's psychological quality is still good, even when he saw the beautiful woman outside the first home after coming to the plane, he didn't lose an inch in an instant. He quickly cleared his throat: "Madam, you are early!" I am Lan Wang, the doctor of the Lan Clinic on the corner of the street, recommended by Meng Zu Shangshu today, I came here to apply, and see if I can cure the illness of your son! β
A trace of doubt flashed in the woman's eyes, but she still bowed and bowed: "It turned out to be the little divine doctor of the Lan Clan's Medical Hall!" The little woman hereby thanked Doctor Lan and Zu Shangshu on behalf of my husband, please come in! β
As he spoke, he let the old and the young into the door.
Zu Yuan and Lan Wang glanced at each other from the corner of their eyes, and each saw that each other's eyes were full of suspicion.
What about "unpopular" that says good? What about the "bad attitude" that is good?
Besides, such a big family, even if it is a little down, it will not let the lady of the house come out directly to answer the door for strange guests, right?!
Doubts are doubts, and the two still walked to the inner house under the guidance of the woman.
Along the way, seeing the surrounding scenes, Lan Wang faintly understood why the Shen family wanted a woman to come out and open the door - there was no one in the entire Shen Mansion at all! The ground and under the verandah in the courtyard are fairly clean, but the surrounding flower beds and trees have obviously been left untended for a long time, and there are dead branches and leaves everywhere; If you look closely, fine weeds have begun to grow between the tiles of the eaves overhead, and the steps paved with good bluestone slabs are gradually covered with slippery moss; The whole courtyard was empty, and although all the household utensils were in order, no one came to use themβnot to mention the housekeepers, servants, and maids, not even a rough mother-in-law.
When he arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, it was inconvenient for Zu Yuan to enter the inner house as an outsider, only Lan Wang was alone carrying a very small medicine box, like a primary school student who followed the teacher in line, "obediently" twisted and walked, and followed the woman into the main room of the inner house.
The light in the main room was very dim, and there was a faint amount of dust floating in the air, and occasionally there was a strong smell of medicinal herbs. The furnishings in the house are still neat, and everything that can be wiped is spotless. Lan Wang sympathized with the hostess in front of her - it seemed that she was responsible for the cleaning and sprinkling of the entire house, but the ash in this main house was so big, it just wiped off and another layer fell, how hard she was!
The two of them walked into the depths of the inner house, and neither side said a word.
"Dare to ask what your lady is called?" Lan Wang couldn't help it, and wanted to find something to break the silence.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and then replied calmly: "Ah, the little woman is from Jiangnan, her maiden name is Jiang, and she married Shen Mengze and Shen Hanlin five years ago. β
The traverser's heart was suddenly shaken----
"This woman is Shen Mengze, my patient's wife?!"
"The situation of the Shen family has gotten so bad? Even grandmothers have to come out to greet guests? What about the rest of the family? What about the servants? And the elders?! β
Young Master Lan's mind began to run rapidly again.
However, the Jiang family in front of the old mercenary is also a smart woman in ice and snow. She seemed to see Xiao Langzhong's doubts, so she sighed faintly and explained:
"Let the little doctor smile, this mansion is not so deserted, but since the eldest brother and sister-in-law were killed more than three years ago, the father-in-law and mother-in-law have gone one after another, and the younger brother has disappeared, the door of the house has become more and more lonely. In order to treat my father-in-law, all the properties that could be sold were sold, the valuable items in the family were sold, and the servants and housekeepers were dismissed one after another, and the house became what it is now. β
"But Mrs. Shen, if you say so, where will Shen Hanlin's expenses for treatment come from?" Lan Wang spit out all the doubts in his heart, but as soon as the words came out, he regretted it.
Hearing this, Jiang seemed to think that Lan Wang suspected that she didn't have the money to pay the high reward, and his face became more and more embarrassed: "The money for the soup medicine and the daily subsidy for the family expenses depend on me to make some female celebrities and take advantage of the goods, and the industry can only be offset by the old mansion of the Shen family." β
Lan Wang also felt that it was very immoral for him to inadvertently exert too much pressure on the patient's family, so he tried his best to comfort him: "Madam, don't worry, Master Shen has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely be fine." To tell the truth, as soon as this comforting language came out, even Young Master Lan himself felt that it was very fake and unnutritious, and it was just better than nothing for the Jiang family.
Lan Wang also realized that the 100,000 gold promised in the original Shen family's bounty and an industry of random selection were likely to be all lost.
But when they came in, they all came in, and Lan Wang, who was a doctor, was not good because the patient's family couldn't afford to pay the consultation fee and turned around and left.
"Mrs. Shen, let's go see the patient first."
Jiang Shi seemed relieved when he heard this: "Okay, the bedroom is very close, please come with me." β
In a dimly lit bedroom, Lan Wang saw Shen Hanlin lying motionless on the bed through the curtain made of light yarn.
It was a man not yet thirty years old, with a slender figure and a handsome face, but his skin was almost a dead man's paleness. He was dressed in a loose gray robe, lying quietly on his back on the bed, his chest and abdomen did not rise and fall, the arteries did not beat, his mouth and nose did not breathe, in short, there was not a trace of life.
Lan Wang knew that this person was still alive, but in fact he was no different from a dead person.
