Chapter 64: Heart-to-heart talk
Old Madam Xue suddenly sighed heavily.
She said, "Ah Ling, your sister just mentioned the son,"
Old Madam Xue seemed to be speechless, and finally said, "What do you think?" ”
Although this matter has not crossed the clear road, it has never been deliberately covered up, the Xue family is probably aware of it, although Xue Ling is not very old, he also knows it in his heart.
Mrs. Xue has been a little worried about this matter.
The prince is almost sixteen years old, Ah Ling has been filial piety for three years, and the prince will be nineteen years old, and the royal heir will never keep it for three years for a marriage that has not crossed the clear road.
Since the birth of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Xue has always known in her heart that there is a good chance that this marriage will be yellow.
This time of condolences, her daughter Xue also said it euphemistically to her, Mrs. Xue was not surprised when she heard this, but she regretted it in her heart.
There is an advantage of not crossing the bright road, that is, there is no need to withdraw from the marriage with great fanfare, you only need to show a little meaning, and it is over.
But this kind of thing doesn't have much effect on men, but not necessarily on women.
Old Madam Xue was worried when she thought about it.
When Xue Ling saw the heavy look on Mrs. Xue's face, she knew that her grandmother was worried about her marriage.
Even in the previous life, she also saw it very thoroughly, let alone this life.
My cousin is the son of the royal family, not to mention that he will wait for three years for her, just to say that in the current situation of the Xue family, this marriage is useless to King Jiangling, so everything is what she expected.
In fact, in the previous life, a year later, my cousin married a noble daughter as a concubine.
Xue Ling remembered that after her accident, her grandmother had discussed it with her aunt.
Then, her aunt asked her, "Ah Ling, are you still willing to marry into the palace?" This time there is a big trouble, if you want, I will go and beg the prince to save your life. ”
Xue Ling shook his head, if you marry, it will be a wife's room, and if you marry, it will be a concubine's room.
My cousin already has a wife, she would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, how could she live in the back house and succumb to the position of concubine in order to protect herself.
She refused directly without thinking about it, she had her own pride, a woman's pride.
Later, she knew that this opportunity was what Shizi had been asking for.
But after she found out, she didn't feel half grateful, but felt that it was a blessing to have no part in the fate back then.
Childhood sweethearts, two little guesses.
Shiko never knew what she wanted.
Fate is ruthless, but sometimes extraordinarily realistic.
The ones you lose are either not for you or you don't have the ability to hold them in your hands.
Either way, there's nothing to regret.
Xue Ling raised her head and asked instead of answering, "Why does grandmother ask like that?" ”
Old Mrs. Xue looked at her, she was extremely worried, but she would not talk to her about the marriage leave, her voice was very heavy, and she said, "Ah Ling, you have learned the ancestral medical skills of the Xue family, and now the family knows about it, do you know what you will face next?" Have you ever thought about it? ”
Mrs. Xue thought about it for a long time, and decided to explore Xue Ling's opinion first, and then think about how to help Xue Ling plan next.
Of course Xue Ling knew about the question asked by her grandmother.
Since the ancestral medical skills have the word ancestor, they can only be passed down from generation to generation, and she practiced this witchcraft as a woman.
Then, when the year of marriage came, she could not marry into a family of witch doctors, and the marriage between the right family and her was severed.
She can't even marry into a commoner's family.
The commoner's family will inevitably let her practice medicine and set up her own door for her own selfishness, which may also make the ancestral medical book of the Xue family fall into the hands of his surname, and the elders of the clan are the most profitable, and they will never allow such a thing to happen.
The current Xue Ling has two paths, either marrying into a family of dignitaries or staying in the Xue family for the rest of his life.
The first way is now cut off.
Although the matter between her and the prince of Jiangling was not announced to the world with much fanfare, the noble family still knew a little, and now that the marriage has failed, naturally no other noble children will come to the door to propose marriage.
Xue Ling looked at Old Lady Xue's frowning brows, and knew that Old Lady Xue wanted to plan for her future.
It's a pity that now she is left with only the path of the Xue family's old age.
This is another reason why she designed to destroy the medical book.
Without a medical book, she can openly say that she has learned the ancestral techniques of the Xue family.
In this way, the choice in front of her will become narrow.
Whether it is a grandmother or a mother, thinking about their future fate, they will spare no effort to support themselves to become the head of the Xue family.
Yes, since the only thing left for me is to die in the Xue family.
So, why doesn't she stand at the highest point and live some free life?
Xu is the previous life, she has tasted enough bitterness, and now she is unwilling to wronged herself emotionally, not at all.
Xue Ling said, "I naturally thought about it, and I will do my best to assist my brothers to become the head of the Xue family." ”
Old Madam Xue shook her head, "Although I haven't practiced witch doctors, I've seen a lot, this kind of thing is a gap that can't be crossed in a lifetime, maybe you drill through the spell in three or five months, and the two of them will be difficult to comprehend in three or five years, or in other words, even if they spend their whole lives, they are still mediocre in witchcraft all their lives, and you have to spend your whole life in the Xue family like this?" ”
Xue Ling looked at her grandmother and said, "What does grandmother mean?" ”
Old Mrs. Xue felt that it was extremely difficult.
Xue Jihong and Xue Jiman's qualifications are deviated, and the children born to them are also mediocre in qualifications.
When Xue Yuan and Xue Hao become biological sons, can they still hope to give birth to a peerless heir?
Old Lady Xue thought about it again and again, and finally asked, "Ah Ling, have you ever thought about inheriting your father's legacy and inheriting the Xue family's medical skills?" ”
Xue Ling's heart jumped, and she raised her head, as if she didn't believe what her grandmother said so quickly.
She was stunned for a moment, it was not yet time, but in the end she still covered her emotions and shook her head, "Grandmother said and laughed, the Xue family has never had a female inheritance, and besides, there are two cousins, so it will not be my turn." ”
Old Mrs. Xue sighed heavily, but in just one day, the whole person seemed to be dozens of years old, she said,
"Actually, I don't want you to go to this troubled water, Ah Ling, your eldest brother and second brother's qualifications are average, even if you have average morality, words and courage are really mediocre, before your father left the house, he discussed with me, this inheritance of people, make it difficult for him to decide."
Xue Ling didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"When your father learned that he was seriously ill, he was very worried, and he once said to me that your qualifications are still above him, and he is also... I am overjoyed, if he can live for a long time, under his protection, maybe you can practice medicine as you like. ”
