Chapter 14: Planning
The woman of the entire Gangneung family, who has learned a lot of medical skills, her mother counts as one, then, she counts as another.
Xue Ling didn't know her mother's past, but there was a reason why Xue Ling was able to study medicine openly.
When Xue Ling was very young, she showed a talent that was different from that of her brothers and sisters of the same generation.
The father had no children under his knees, and the cousin of the family followed his father to study medicine.
Her father told her to study with her.
At that time, the elders of the clan naturally strongly opposed it and procrastinated in every way.
Finally, at her father's insistence, she began to study medicine.
There's a reason for that.
When King Gangneung was young, he suffered from a stubborn illness, which was finally cured by Xue Ling's grandfather.
The emperor already valued the witch doctor, and when he was happy, he gave a marriage contract, and Xue Ling's aunt Xue married the king of Jiangling as a concubine.
The Xue family is highly regarded in the land of Gangneung.
King Jiangling intended to continue to envelop, and Xue Ling and the prince of Jiangling had a verbal agreement with the tacit consent of their elders since they were young.
Although there was no official exchange of posts, the marriage had already been tacitly decided.
If Xue Ling marries into the palace, even if he learns medical skills, it will not affect the Xue family.
In the end, the clan elders turned a blind eye and acquiesced to Xue Ling's medical practice.
Xue Ling sighed softly, some things seemed to be accidents, in the past, she thought that it was because of her father's early death that caused the deviation of later developments, but now she felt that it was not the case.
"Ah Ling, what do you think so distractedly." Jiang Yue came back to his senses first and asked.
Xue Ling turned his head and said, "I just remembered some things about my father." ”
Jiang Yue had already walked over.
Xue Ling was afraid of arousing her mother's worries, so she pulled her mother and asked casually, "Ah Niang, has your father ever talked to you about Gu poison?" Or, do you remember if your father taught her two cousins the art of witchcraft? ”
Speaking of witchcraft, Jiang Yue instinctively frowned, "Ah Ling, my mother told you that the witch doctor's technique is not orthodox after all, although you are the daughter of the Xue family, it is not a good thing to indulge in it." ”
Whenever Jiang Yue mentioned witchcraft, he always looked disdainful.
In the past, Xue Ling didn't understand, but now Xue Ling has a little more agreement in her heart, she doesn't deny it, but just said, "A-Niang, what you said is right, but the Xue family is mainly based on witchcraft, and now in this situation, it is impossible to abandon it." But don't worry, when my father taught me witchcraft, he had already explained to me, I have a sense of proportion, Auntie, you believe me. ”
Jiang Yue looked at Xue Ling, her heart softened a little, and she didn't say anything more, just sighed slightly, "I naturally believe you." ”
Xue Ling continued to ask, "Ah Niang, think about it, have the two cousins practiced witchcraft, I remember that the second brother seems to be more talented, has my father taught the second brother in private?" ”
Xue Ling has been studying medicine with her two cousins since she was a child, and as she grew older, one was different between men and women, and the other was that the three of them had different progressions, so Xue Ling no longer studied medicine with her two cousins at the same time, and she didn't know how far they had both practiced.
Jiang Yue thought about it carefully, "Your father has talked about this witchcraft technique, once his heart is not right, it is easy to go astray, your two elder brothers are not very old, even if he teaches, he will only teach some simple techniques." What's more, your father is a person who never favors one over the other, and the courses taught are the same, but each has different talents, I see that your two brothers are not as good as you, and you estimate the process, you will know how much he has learned. ”
Xue Ling thought about it, the third uncle was raised in front of her grandmother since she was a child, and she cared for her a lot in her previous life, when she first entered the house, she was more inclined to the third uncle's room, and now that she thinks about it, her father's death, I am afraid that no one can get rid of it.
Xue Ling held the Gu worm in his palm. Once she finds out who the mastermind is, no matter who it is, she will not be merciful.
However, now, this truth is unknown, and it is better not to let my mother know, "I just ask, my father is gone, I am afraid that the elders of the clan will definitely think of succeeding a cousin as an heir, I don't know which one A-Niang values more?" ”
Mentioning this matter, Jiang Yue also had a headache, "Before your father died, he couldn't make a decision, he only said that Ah Yuan and Ah Hao would go to the witch doctor's election together, and then the clan elder would choose a suitable inheritance of the Xue family's medical skills." ”
Xue Ling knew what his father meant, his father was worried about the family, but he refused to make a decision on such a big matter, so there was only one possibility, Xue Yuan Xue Hao, and his father felt that he was not the best candidate to continue the mantle.
Jiang Yue regretted this kind of family matter, "Your father can't make a decision on this matter, and we don't have to worry about this in vain." ”
After a while, Jiang Yue urged Xue Ling to rest again, "Before your father's death, you served the decoction very dedicatedly, but now that people have gone, there is no need to do these useless things." Go and rest. ”
Xue Ling was uncharacteristically uncharacteristically and did not shirk it.
Coming out of the mourning hall, a chill came from outside the house.
A dark figure stood far away under a large tree next to the moon gate.
The light stretched the person's figure extremely long, and Xue Ling estimated that it was Jiang Xu.
Sizhu also recognized it and said, "It's getting late, my brother thinks that he has done something, he doesn't dare to come over, I'll ask." ”
Xue Ling said, "No need, you let him come over, I have other things for him to do." ”
Sizhu went to change Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu held a bag of things in both hands, "Third girl, the matter has been done, I am afraid that I will miss the girl's business, so I will send it overnight, if there is any rudeness, the girl should not be surprised." ”
Xue Ling took the thing, checked it gently, and then said, "Did the news get out?" ”
Jiang Xu said, "Within two days, the whole city will know." ”
Xue Ling nodded, two days was enough.
She handed the things in her hand to Sizhu to collect, and then said, "I still have something for you to do." ”
She beckoned, "You walk in a little bit, and I'll explain to you." ”
Xue Ling's voice was very low.
Even Sizhu and Siyu never heard clearly.
After Jiang Xu heard this, he was very surprised, "Girl, if Mrs. knows, will she blame." ”
Xue Ling said, "A-Niang will stay in the mourning hall this night, and the nurse will accompany her sister in the west wing, you just have to do it, tonight, you have to do it overnight, this matter is a matter of life and death, you can't let the second person know, remember?" ”
Jiang Xu no longer hesitated, "Yes, girl, just rest assured." ”
Xue Ling said, "It's done, let Sizhu reply tomorrow." ”
Jiang Xu agreed.
Sizhu and Siyu didn't dare to ask more, so they accompanied Xue Ling back to the room to rest.
Xue Ling lay on the collapse, unable to sleep.
She scrutinized her plan for any flaws.
