Chapter 209: Temptation
Fan Jin shook his head and smiled: "Old Hero Feng, you said that, didn't you make it clear that the eldest lady's illness is very serious?" You can't be like this, what the patient needs most is to maintain psychological stability, and it doesn't seem good for you to scare her like this. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Shunqing said: "The old hero has something to say, although the little woman is a woman, she is also a little timid, so she will not be frightened." Even if it's true...... Smallpox, I can take it too. Besides, Brother Fan and the little woman have nothing to talk about, whatever you say to him, Brother Fan will tell him, so why bother. ”
"Not really...... Lao Yu is a martial artist, with a rough voice and a loud voice, sometimes he can't control himself, and his speech is like thunder. Negotiating with a group of reckless men in the rivers and lakes, naturally everything is casual, if you are presumptuous here, you are afraid of disturbing the eldest lady's rest. In that case, let's be honest. ”
He glanced at Xue Wu and snorted. "The culprit of this matter is Wu'er's evil obstacle. I saw her pitiful back then, and I pitied her for being born in a eunuch family, she shouldn't have given birth to Zhang Shuwei and started to make a living by relying on the door to sell laughter, plus she was steadfast in temperament, but she was unwilling, so she gave it to Baihua Pills. Just let her use it to pretend to be smallpox, so as to fool people, and didn't let her give the medicine to others casually. The original intention of refining that medicine was to use it to plant pox and prevent diseases, but in the end it was unsuccessful, but it was also toxic. If it is not used properly, or if she encounters other raw medicines, it is not possible to turn fake smallpox into real smallpox, and fake pockmarks into real pockmarks, she does not know the pharmacology, and uses the medicine indiscriminately, so something will happen! ”
"Originally, although this medicine would cause discomfort to the human body, it would not be a major problem. After the body recovered, he had a certain resistance to smallpox, and it was not a panacea. But she has limited knowledge of the properties of the medicine, so she only lets the young lady take it, and this medicine can be eaten indiscriminately? If it is just this elixir, the old decay can still be dealt with, but now in addition to the Baihua Pill in the young lady's body, there is another toxin that plays a role. When the two medicinal powers are combined, this thing is very troublesome. ”
Zhang Shunqing said: "Old Feng, don't go around in circles, the little woman just wants to ask, am I ...... now Smallpox? ”
Feng Mingqi looked at Zhang Shunqing and then at Xue Wu, and finally looked at Fan Jin, with a look of embarrassment on his face. "Smallpox...... It's not that the smallpox on the market is so serious, and the eldest lady's life is fine, but it's just ......"
He sighed: "Walking the rivers and lakes in the middle of his life, he has seen more tragic things, and he can also experience the hardships of life, and for young women, their faces are often more important than their lives." Only when you reach the age of old decay can you realize that life is the first thing in life, and the rest are insignificant. The eldest lady was born in a wealthy family, and she is always better off than a woman from an ordinary family. Even if the appearance is hindered, it does not prevent the eldest lady from having a happy marriage and a full house of children and grandchildren. Of course, it is reasonable for the eldest lady to be strange, and the main reason for the decay is to repay the debt. As long as you can make the eldest lady angry, even if you want to die with this life, you can give it with both hands. ”
Feng Mingqi's words made everyone's hearts sprout a trace of despair, and Xue Wu hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, your old man's martial arts are world-famous, there must be a way!" ”
"Idiot! Does this have anything to do with martial arts? It's not a fight on the rivers and lakes, it's a disease! What's the use of your martial arts? The old man worshipped seven brothers back then, who was not strong in martial arts, and as a result, four of them died of illness. You give people medicine indiscriminately, and now you make such a big fuss, what do you say? Even if you pay with your life, will you pay for it? ”
His voice grew higher, like a yellow bell and a strange humming echo in the room. Fan Jin vaguely felt that this seemed to be the tiger and leopard thunder sound mentioned in some works he had seen in his previous life, and it seemed that this old man's martial arts cultivation was really not fake.
Xue Sufang is a woman who can be an Oiran, even if she is cold on weekdays, she also has the ability to socialize, no matter who she deals with, she can always be at ease. But at this time, seeing that the old man was angry, she was so trained that her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't say a word, so she only bowed down and said: "My daughter knows that she is wrong, and she knows that she is wrong......"
"What's the use of knowing mistakes? Now that Miss Zhang's face is ruined, can you end it if you know your mistakes? ”
Zhang Shunqing was stunned, as if she couldn't accept the news for a while, she thought she was just joking, but she didn't want the appearance of Allure to really become a dream bubble. Imagine that his appearance is ruined, and then look at Fan Jin who is in the wind in the jade tree on the side, even if he still does not abandon himself, but can he really guarantee that his heart will always be on such an ugly woman as himself?
Seeing that Feng Mingqi's voice was getting louder and louder, she suddenly coughed lightly and said:
"Old hero, let me ask a question first, you mean, my face...... Is there really no hope? ”
Feng Mingqi suppressed his voice and looked at Zhang Shunqing, "Miss, the old man is a martial artist, and he is only rough in medicine, if you can't believe it, you can find a famous doctor for diagnosis." This matter is wrong with me, if the eldest lady wants to be blamed, please blame the old man, don't blame Wu'er. She...... Not sensible. ”
"Old Hero Feng, your words are serious. Xue's gift of medicine was at my request, not intentionally, and even the subsequent changes were not predictable by man, so it makes no sense to blame others. It's not her business, it's to blame, it's just my life. All right...... Since it's smallpox, I have a number in my heart, so please quit first, so as not to be infected ......"
Feng Mingqi said: "Although Wu'er has never produced flowers, she has eaten Baihua Dan and has a certain resistance to smallpox. It's nothing to be afraid of, she can stay. Siniang, you go out. And Fan Gongzi ......"
"I won't leave, please go back, I'll stay and take care of the eldest lady."
Feng Mingqi didn't listen to Fan Jin's explanation, reached out and grabbed his arm, pulled him up and walked out, and said as he walked: "Please borrow a step, the old man has some very important words, I want to say to Fan Gongzi." ”
Ma Xianglan had also retreated, and only Xue Wu and Zhang Shunqing were left in the room. Xue Sufang's beautiful eyes were full of tears, her eyes were full of guilt, and she knelt down to Zhang Shunqing's bedside and said, "I'...... I didn't know it would be like this, and if I knew, I wouldn't have given you that Baihua pill. So will it be so? How so! ”
Zhang Shunqing smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, Xue, sit down and say something if you have something." This may be fate, your family's suffering, in the final analysis, but it is caused by my father's strict investigation of public funds since he was in power, at this level, I owe you a debt, maybe God has already made a decision, I will pay off this debt. You don't have to blame yourself for anything, it's all my own fault. I thought that through this method, I could find a lover who was enough to entrust me for life, but I didn't want to end up doing it myself...... I deserve it. Xue, don't worry, everything I promised you will be done......"
In the outer room, Feng Mingqi lowered his voice and said: "Fan Gongzi, although he is a Cantonese, he has been admired for a long time. The chivalrous golden dart made by Your Excellency, praising Shengying, Huang Santai and other martial artists, and setting up a biography for the martial artists of the rivers and lakes, which is a rare thing in the literary world. We martial artists have always been looked down upon by literati and scholars, and it is rare for a filial piety to be willing to treat us martial artists as heroes, and many good friends in the green forest are grateful for the kindness of the son. Even if we haven't met, I still treat Childe as a good friend, so I don't have to hide some words. ”
He looked at the back room, and his voice was lowered: "Although the eldest lady's condition is milder than that of ordinary people, it is still smallpox after all, even if she recovers, she will still have spots, and this face is destined to be unpreservable." Moreover, this disease is the most pestering, from flowering to healing, there is no fear that it will take one to two months, Fan Gongzi is filial piety and must take the test, and when the eldest lady recovers, your fame will be delayed. If you listen to the old man's persuasion, send the person back to Huazhuang, and the son will go to the exam to run for a future. This matter will be arranged for Childe, and no one will blame Childe. Moreover, Feng also heard a news, the further you go, the fewer boats going north, if you stay, I am afraid that after a while, you will not be able to find a boat to enter Beijing, and it will be too late to catch the exam. In case you yourself are dyed with flowers...... It's more than worth the loss......"
Judging from the class status of this era, a warrior is basically not qualified to dictate to a scribe like this. However, Feng Mingqi cannot be regarded as a martial artist alone, in addition to his superb martial arts, he also belongs to the kind of well-known social activists in Jiangning, and can be regarded as a character with a certain social status. Fan Jin is a person from other places, if you don't count the friendship of the Zhang family and the Xu family, it can't be said that he has an overwhelming advantage over Feng Mingqi.
In the final analysis, Feng Mingqi is certainly afraid of readers, but he does not need to be afraid of a foreign reader. It is difficult for Fan Jin to provide him with any practical help, and it is difficult to cause him any hindrance, and he often thinks about Fan Jin's own interests, so it does not seem abrupt.
Fan Jin smiled: "I have heard for a long time that the old hero of Baimen Feng is a famous hero in the rivers and lakes, and he is really warm, but after all, this is a matter between us, so I don't bother with Lao Feng." ”
"That's not the case, it's for your own good. No matter how beautiful she once was, she won't be able to see where she will go in the future. In order to cling to Zhang Jiangling, you have to carry such a burden? Let's say another ugly thing, even if Fan Gongzi really carries this burden, when Miss Zhang recovers, it is difficult to predict how Jiangling Xiangguo will decide. If you lose your fame in vain, and you can't get what you want, what should Fan Gongzi do? ”
Feng Mingqi said this, and looked at Fan Jin, with the wisdom and shrewdness of the old man who had already seen the world. Although I have never been in the officialdom, I have been in the rivers and lakes for half my life, and I have seen a lot of all kinds of dirty things, and I think I have already had an awareness of the various situations in the world, so I speak very directly.
"Fan Gongzi's family knows a little about the decay, and to put it mildly, there is still a gap between him and the Zhang family. When they are officials, they talk about the right people, about the interests of officialdom, and rarely consider the happiness of their children. The old man has been away for many years, and he has seen a lot of couples who have sworn that they can only obey their parents' orders and marry strangers. Listen to the old man's advice, rein in the precipice, there is no need to lose your future for the moon in the mirror, then it is unwise. In fact, as long as the son is famous, how can he lack a beautiful woman, why do you have to be attached to one person? ”
Fan Jin looked at Feng Mingqi, the old man's words were actually correct. Whether from the perspective of favor or personal interests, the other party can be regarded as thinking about themselves. For the sake of the future, perhaps the old man proposed the optimal solution. After all, no matter how beautiful Zhang Shunqing used to be, when there was a smallpox and a pockmarked face, that is the case, at least there must be women who can compare with her.
In terms of family background, it is true that Zhang Jiangling's power leans towards the government and the opposition, but it does not mean that there are no other powerful officials in the court. Even if the family is inferior to the Zhang family, and Fan Jin is promoted to pave the way for his future, there are still many officials who can achieve this goal.
But what about the benefits? Think about the amazement when I first met Changsha, and then the exchanges along the way, the efforts I made, and the opportunity I finally obtained. Even in the smallpox village, the scene of the girl paying each other with her heart, whether the old man in front of him is the first in the southeast martial arts or the ninety-five supreme, for Fan Jin, there is actually no difference.
He shook his head and smiled: "Thank you Feng Lao for your kindness, but Fan asks for peace of mind in dealing with people, and does not ask for anything in return." I promised to take care of Miss Zhang, so I wouldn't break my promise. No matter what she becomes, I'm not going to let go. Whether it's fame or anything else, I can give it up, but it's hard to let me give up her. ”
Feng Mingqi locked on to Fan Jin with a pair of tiger eyes, "Fan Gongzi, what if you lose your life?" Smallpox, but it kills. ”
"I don't hesitate to do it too!"
Feng Mingqi shook his head and said, "Fan Gongzi, you can do whatever you want, what about the people of Jiangning?" Originally, smallpox patients should have been admitted to Huazhuang, but now that the eldest lady has moved out, if this is the source, smallpox will spread again, and who will bear this responsibility? The old man is a rough man and doesn't know much truth, but I know that the treatment of smallpox patients in the countryside will not be as kind as in the city. Most of them are a fire, burn it clean, so as not to implicate the innocent. ”
"The eldest lady is Gangneung's beloved daughter, I don't think anyone would dare to do such a thing."
"It can't be said that no matter how great Gangneung Xiangguo's ability is, it may not be able to restrain everyone. Besides, for the safety of the people in the whole city, and in order to prevent themselves from being infected with smallpox, there are always two or three bold people who are willing to fight the waves. If there are really people who come to eliminate harm for the people, how will Fan Gongzi deal with himself? ”
As he spoke, Feng Mingqi had already stood up, his face became even redder, and his two tiger eyes stared directly at Fan Jin. I don't know if it's an illusion, Fan Jin only felt that in this moment, the old man's body seemed to swell, but then it returned to normal, although his hands were still very casually placed, but with this person's cultivation, he was afraid that he would be able to knock Fan Jin out at will.
Fan Jin's hand was also pressed on the hilt of the sword, and the sword that Liu Kanzhi had just given him didn't want to come in handy so soon. He didn't think that he could win against this old man with a sword, even if he added Guan Qing Fan Zhigao, it wouldn't be much different. He only reminded the old man in a cold voice:
"Jiangling Xiangguo may not be able to control the world, but in our Jiangning City, there are also ready-made land immortals. The Duke of Wei sat in Jiangning and led the military guards. With Old Man Xu here, I see who dares to come here to make trouble! If there are really bandits coming, Fan can also fight with him with a sword. Not only are those fanatics unlucky, but even their parents and relatives are also allowed to die completely, leaving no one behind! ”
"Jianghu people, don't think so much. Our idea is very simple, drink the wine we want to drink, make friends with the people we want to befriend, have kindness and revenge, and as for the consequences...... Who cares! Besides, Zhang Jiangling has friends and enemies, if someone hires a murderer, it is inevitable, Fan Gongzi, is your sword really so easy to use? ”
While speaking, the old man's footsteps had already moved towards Fan Jin, his movement speed was not fast, and there was no movement to run or jump, but in a moment, this tall and burly figure rushed towards Fan Jin like a cannonball, Ma Xianglan just shouted, "I have something to say." ”
The sound of drawing the sword was already sounding.
White light flashed.
Fan Jin's method of drawing the sword is the method of drawing the sword taught by Lin Haishan, and the drawing of the sword also contains murderous intentions. It's just that his sword was only halfway drawn, and a big hand was already pressed on his wrist, and a huge force struck, Fan Jin couldn't control his arm, so he could only push the sword back into the sheath with this force.
In a loud laugh, the old man's figure had already hit Fan Jin's body, and his shoulder was facing Fan Jin's chest, although the strength was only contained but not released, but Fan Jin, who was in it, felt that he was in a storm, as long as he had a slight resistance, he would immediately attract the other party's attack and shatter his bones, so he had to retreat all the way back with the old man's strength.
Feng Mingqi's body almost pushed Fan Jin inward, all the way from the living room to the bedroom, Xue Wuzheng and Zhang Shunqing were talking something, seeing this scene and exclaimed: "Father-in-law, what are you doing?" ”
Zhang Shunqing raised her eyebrows, and it seemed that she was about to burst into anger, but at this moment, Feng Mingqi had already laughed.
With the laughter, he stopped his figure very casually, and then took half a step back, Fan Jin only felt that the pressure of the stormy waves, at this moment, disappeared without a trace, and even the hand on his arm was retracted.
The old man laughed and saluted Fan Jin and Zhang Shunqing on the bed for the second time: "Baimen Feng Si has been admiring Gongzi's name for a long time, and he just wanted to see how Miss Gongzi behaved, so as to determine whether the little girl could get along with the two of them in the future." There is an offense between words and deeds, and I hope that the two Haihan will be hauled. Originally, this incident was caused by old decay, and when I saw the two of them again, the eldest lady's illness was wrapped in the old decay. ”
