Xia Kuan and Tang Yin both looked at Shen Xi, wondering what kind of elixir Shen Xi had to save an old man who was suffering from a chronic illness and was sick to the bone marrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

also said that "healing without medicine", could it be that Shen Xi is proficient in acupuncture or the art of Kanyu?

Shen Xi said calmly: "I heard that if any relatives in the family have injuries or illnesses, they may try the method of rushing to rejoice to slow down the injuries and illnesses, or even heal without medicine. Mr. Tsing Yi should also know about this, so why not try it? ”

The folk custom of Chongxi has existed since ancient times, and if someone in the family has a serious illness, or is unconscious, it is considered to be haunted by evil spirits.

Chongxi is generally used for men who are engaged but are on the verge of danger before marrying their wives, or for seriously ill parents who are married.

From a medical point of view, once a person encounters a happy event, the body's blood surges because of excitement, the heart beats faster, and the hormones in the body will increase.

But many things are not credible, which also makes many women who rush to the door for their husbands in ancient times to be widowed from the beginning.

Xia Kuan sighed: "It was mentioned by the doctor or the neighbors before, but the contemptible person has already married a wife after all......"

Shen Xi nodded: "What Mr. said is true, but as far as this official knows, Ling Tang is also very concerned about Ling Mei's marriage Miss Xia." ”

Shen Xi didn't need to say it too clearly, as long as he mentioned it slightly, Xia Kuan and Tang Yin both understood.

Tang Yin was overjoyed and secretly thought: "It turns out that the key point is here...... If you want to be happy, Brother Tingsu has already married a wife, so it is naturally not suitable, so you can only let Miss Xia marry to be happy for the old lady, then there is hope? ”

Xia Kuan shook his head: "My mother is still on the sickbed, and my sister works hard every day, and she can't take care of her all day, how can she live up to her filial piety?" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, where are you thinking about your sister, you are simply afraid that if you marry your sister during your mother's serious illness, you will be gossiped about by others and affect your reputation.

At that moment, Shen Xi said again: "The old lady's wish in life is just to see that her children have a home, even if the happy marriage is useless, before the old lady leaves, she can see that Miss Xia's future has a settlement, and the old man can go to peace of mind, which is also filial piety." The official must invite the local squire to set up a biography for this matter, so that the world will know the benevolence and filial piety of the Xia brothers and sisters. ”

Now Shen Xi wants to dispel Xia Kuan's concerns and characterize this matter as "filial piety", with Shen Xi, the governor of the three provinces, coming forward, and the purpose of Xia Kuan's marriage is to be happy, even if the wedding is useless, it can make the old man go without worry, and it is very good. In this way, it is reasonable for Shen Xi to ask the local squire to set up a biography for this matter.

Xia Kuan couldn't help but hesitate.

If someone else brought it up, he would immediately refuse...... My mother is critically ill, you actually asked me to marry my sister, do you still have humanity?

But Shen Xi is different!

Shen Xi has an identity and status, and he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he can't think of Shen Xi in this matter for profit, but just put forward a reasonable plan to fulfill his reputation, even if he wants to scold, he can't open this mouth.

Hesitation means that there is an idea, Shen Xi continued: "Miss Xia is filial, and she must be unwilling to marry at this time. And after getting married, the couple does not have to get together immediately, and Miss Xia still stays at home to take care of the sickbed, which can also fulfill Miss Xia's filial piety. ”

Since the old mother has no soul, it is a way to fulfill filial piety with Chongxi in folk customs, and it is not really to get married and do happy events, but to make the old mother happy.

After the younger sister got married, she didn't have to go to her husband's house, she still stayed at home to take care of her old mother, and the superintendent yamen would also invite local squires to promote the filial piety of the brother and sister......

In Xia Kuan's opinion, this is indeed an impeccable good idea.

My sister can't get married, and he will have to raise him in the next three years, but this girl will have a grudge after raising her for a long time.

Xia Kuan thought of this, and was a little moved, but he was still embarrassed: "Lord Shen, what you said is good, but the little sister is eighteen years old now, and there is no suitable person for marriage, how can she marry in a hurry?" ”

Tang Yin almost blurted out...... If no one is around, I'll come.

But seeing that Shen Xi's face sank, his open mouth immediately closed, because he realized that it was wrong to say it with his own head, and he listened to Shen Xi honestly.

"Alas!"

Shen Xi sighed and said, "With Ling Mei's talent and character, as well as her filial piety, she is really an impeccable strange woman in the world. In order to choose a mate for Ling Mei, it must be a talented and knowledgeable person, and it is really difficult to find it for a while. ”

Although Xia Kuan wholeheartedly agreed with these words, he was a little helpless, he thought to himself: "The little sister is burdened with Kefu's reputation, and it is not easy to find a person who is the right person to marry, and she dares to be so picky?" However, with the help of the Governor, you may really be able to find a suitable person. ”

Shen Xi asked: "I don't know what Mr. Tsing Yi has for Sister Ling's son-in-law, in terms of character and family?" ”

Xia Kuan was speechless for a while, and after hesitating for a while, he said: "Go back to your lordship, as long as you are right, you are a scholar...... Just be willing to accept this marriage. ”

He really didn't dare to ask too much, saying that the family was right, his Xia family was at most a declining scholarly family, and there were a few acres of land in his hometown, and he was a small landlord, but after all, he had no merit in his body, and the Xia family was not a wealthy family, and even asked his in-laws to be "scholars" It was a bit excessive, because he married an eighteen-year-old young woman with the name of Kefu on his back, not to mention the dowry, and let the family accept to marry in front of the old man of the Xia family in Xia Mansion, and after marriage, they could not be married. Let the new wife continue to stay at home to take care of the old lady.

Even if you recruit a son-in-law, you won't be so cowardly, it's simply impossible.

Shen Xi was a little embarrassed, he hesitated for a while, then began to look at Tang Yin, Xia Kuan followed and looked at Tang Yin, and finally Shen Xi nodded and said, "Brother Bohu, this official has something to discuss with Mr. Tsing Yi, I don't know if I can avoid it?" ”

Tang Yin was expecting Shen Xi to solemnly promote him, but he didn't expect Shen Xi to let him stay aside now, feeling very uncomfortable.

But who let Shen Xi have a way to get a daughter-in-law for himself?

Tang Yin arched his hand, retreated to the door, and pretended to look at the scenery.

Only then did Shen Xi discuss with Xia Kuan: "What does Mr. think of Brother Bohu?" ”

Xia Kuan was a little unhappy when he heard Shen Xi mention Tang Yin. Tang Bohu is the same age as him, and he has married two wives, the first died of illness, and the second one divorced, and now Tang Yin has even broken the road to fame, and he is good at drinking on weekdays, such a person can be a friend, but it seems not suitable to be a brother-in-law.

However, Xia Kuan immediately thought of the previous requirements for his sister-in-law, compared with Tang Yin's conditions, Tang Yin is simply a dragon and phoenix among people!

What is rare is that Tang Yin still has the kindness of finding a doctor to see the Xia family, and now he is supervising the yamen to do things, and he has a lot of money, and this marriage will not insult the Xia family.

Xia Kuan's face was cloudy: "I'm afraid that I have wronged Brother Tang." ”

Shen Xi said: "There is no grievance in marriage, Brother Bohu is reasonable, now he is in Guangzhou Mansion, and there is a lack of people around him to take care of him, so he and Ling Mei are a match made in heaven." If the gentleman agrees, the official will go to discuss with him, and as for the expenses for the marriage, the governor and the yamen will be responsible. ”

Xia Kuan was still thinking about the fact that he was unable to support his little sister's marriage in order to treat his old mother's illness, but Shen Xi suddenly said that he took the initiative to take it, and almost said that he was in his heart.

Xia Kuan saluted and said, "Thank you, Lord Shen." ”

Shen Xi nodded, got up and walked out of the chaimen, came to the outside of the fence wall, and called Tang Yin over: "The marriage is done, the Xia family agreed to this marriage, what do you have to say?" ”

Tang Yin was overjoyed at first, but then his face changed, because there was a fly in the ointment in this marriage: "Shen Zhongcheng, you are a powerful person, and even the impossible marriage has been said." It's just that after I get married to Miss Xia, I can't get along, and I want her to stay in her parents' house......"

Shen Xi interrupted Tang Yin's words angrily and asked, "Is that Brother Bohu coveting Miss Xia's beauty or her character?" Do you want to be a dewy couple, or a couple who hold the hand of their son and grow old with their son? ”

Tang Yin's face turned red and he was ashamed when he was asked.

Shen Xi said: "Brother Bohu doesn't want to think about it, if you are considerate of Miss Xia and let her fulfill her filial piety, even if you have to take care of the etiquette and law and can't get together, will Miss Xia let her husband suffer grievances in vain?" ”

Tang Yin thought about it, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

Because of Shen Xi's scheme, it will make people think that he Tang Yin reluctantly agreed to marry Miss Xia in order to take care of his friends, and Tang Yin was very open-minded to allow Miss Xia to stay in her parents' house to take care of her mother.

Even if Mrs. Xia dies of illness, according to the rules, Miss Xia should not be able to have sex with Tang Yin within three years, but the water spilled by the married daughter cannot have sex with each other is extremely demanding for men, and it is not so strict for women, not to mention that the two are still legal husband and wife, so it is naturally no problem to do the courtesy of Zhou Gong.

Shen Xi's meaning can be summed up as follows, since you are married, the person is yours, and you will be the head of the family in the future, and you will not be able to handle a teenage girl as a thirty-year-old man, right?

Tang Yin nodded and said, "I really want to fulfill Miss Xia's filial piety!" ”

Now it's going to be good, I heard that I couldn't get together before, and I guess I want to retreat, what is this person...... Shen Xi shook his head, then patted Tang Yin's shoulder vigorously, returned to the courtyard, called Xia Kuan and Tang Yin together, and agreed on the marriage specifically.

Xia Kuan said: "My relatives are not here, do you need to wait for a few days?" ”

Shen Xi shook his head: "It's a matter of urgency, this is a happy marriage, even if it is the elder of the same clan, it should be understood." After returning to the city, Brother Tang should immediately send someone to propose marriage, and there should be no delay. ”

Tang Yin shook his head again and again, thinking, where is the little money I have enough money to hold a marriage? In the end, it's not you who pays the money!

Xia Kuan made a big gesture to Tang Yin and said, "Brother Tang's kindness is unforgettable!" ”

Tang Yin hurriedly supported Xia Kuan, saying kind words on his lips, but his heart was happy, it was originally a family matter that couldn't be mentioned at all, and even a friend didn't have to do it, but it was actually said by Shen Xi so easily, in the end, it seemed that the Xia family owed him, wouldn't this make him complacent?

Coming out of Xia Mansion, the smile on Tang Yin's face was difficult to hide, and he giggled along the way.

Shen Xi got on the horse and turned around and said, "Brother Bohu, what I promised you has been promoted, but don't end up, you go back on your word!" ”

"No, no, no."

Tang Yin hurriedly said, "Is it that ungrateful person below?" Within three years, he must give advice to Shen Zhongcheng...... You don't seem to need to be a servant running errands under the bento! (To be continued.) )
