63 The patriarch is in trouble
Shen Wangxin always had a faint smile on his face, and the patriarch suddenly became difficult, and he didn't let her frown: "Patriarch Grandpa is afraid that he is old, and his memory is not very good." I parted ways with them a few months ago, and I would like to ask why they have come to you! ”
The patriarch smiled and didn't speak, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He talked too much, felt thirsty, and drank a big sip at once, but as soon as he swallowed it, he felt that the tea was so hot that his tongue was burning painfully.
He looked up and glanced coldly, as if blaming her for the incident, closed the lid and slammed the cup down on the table. The remaining half cup of water in the teacup suddenly spilled out, and it happened to splash on Shen Fugui's hand on the side, and he couldn't catch off guard and let out a "whoop".
"Heart girl, I'll just wait for your words, will you help or not help with this favor?" The patriarch's gaze looked over like a sharp sword, and he gave Shen Wangxin an ultimatum.
Shen Wangxin said: "If Zhang Dagongzi is just seeking medical treatment, I will naturally be duty-bound. But now that my medical hall has just opened, I am trapped in Zhang's mansion and recuperated for him alone, which is really difficult to obey! ”
The patriarch pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "The medical hall can be taken care of by people in the clan, and our Shen family is not without medical knowledge." When you get back, I'll give it back to you. ”
"Take care of it?" Shen Wangxin couldn't help but sneer, "I'm afraid that when I come back, the Five Flavor Medicine Zhai will not be called the Five Flavor Medicine Zhai, and it will have been renamed the Shen Medical Hall." ”
"You!" The patriarch slapped the table fiercely, and the teacup on his head shook, "Xiucai, your good niece!" ”
Seeing this, Shen Xiucai immediately stood up and scolded: "Heart girl, you deal with outsiders, don't take it to the clan to pollute people's eyes!" Our Shen family gave birth to you and raised you, and now we need you to contribute, so you might as well be a white-eyed wolf! ”
Shen Wangxin can be regarded as understanding now, and daring to sell the forest outside Zhang Yuanwai is secondary. The purpose of the Shen family is to close the medical hall by themselves and go to treat Zhang Dagongzi!
They had a good calculation, in addition to their own losses, the people in the village got the forest, Shen Xiucai won the trust of Zhang Yuanwai, and Shen Fugui and Wu Jinhua were afraid that they also got a lot of benefits!
What a family, they are a family! Only she herself is excluded! Shen Wangxin once again felt worthless for the original owner, the original owner was a teenage girl, how did she know why her family treated her harshly?
"Okay, then I'll listen, what does the second uncle want me to do!" Shen Wangxin raised his head suddenly, looking at the few people sitting in front of him, his eyes were full of calculations, "Father, mother, and second uncle, call me to the ancestral hall early in the morning, yin and yang are weird, what is the matter, just say it!" ”
Shen Xiucai resisted the urge to get angry, looked at Shen Wangxin and said, "I have discussed with your father and mother, and opening a medical hall is not as good as Zhang's mansion." Zhang Yuanwai said, I will give you ten taels of money a month, if the doctor is good, Zhang Dagongzi, that piece of forest can be directly given to our clan. Your medical hall can't earn much in a month, and it's only serious to go to Zhang's Mansion to do things. ”
"Then let me ask the second uncle, since it is serious to go to Zhang's Mansion to do things. Then I, the one who went to treat Master Shen, what serious disease do I want to treat? Shen Wangxin saw the flaws at a glance, "If Zhang Dagongzi's illness is a serious illness, why not find a doctor in Rongchuntang, or follow Liu Xiaogongzi's list to seek medical treatment, but you have to come to embarrass my girl's family?" ”
"This ......" Shen Xiucai vaguely knew what kind of illness Zhang Yanyuan had, and Zhang Yuanwai's attitude that day obviously admitted the truth of the rumors.
But that kind of illness, in front of everyone, he really couldn't open his mouth, especially in the presence of the patriarch.
After Shen Wangxin finished speaking, the patriarch also had doubts. He thought that Zhang Dagongzi was just a little weaker, and it would be good to ask someone to recuperate for a period of time. But now it sounded like it wasn't as simple as he thought!
"What the hell is the disease?" Seeing that Shen Xiucai was still hesitant, the patriarch couldn't help but ask.
Shen Xiucai was forced to have no choice, so he had to say something in the patriarch's ear. Hearing this, the patriarch looked at Shen Xiucai in disbelief, and his face suddenly changed a few times, but because there were still female dependents here, he didn't have a seizure in the end.
"Heh, everything you say is for my own good, if I really go to Zhang's Mansion to treat that Zhang eldest son, I'm afraid that my reputation won't be able to be saved first!" Shen Wangxin saw the patriarch's reaction, and his heart was even clearer, "The patriarch's grandfather and second uncle are both understanding people, don't tell me that you can't imagine the powerful relationship!" The children in the village school know that they would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine! Today's events are inevitably ridiculous and generous! ”
"Shen Fugui, you two have done a good thing!" The patriarch's face turned black, flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then brushed his sleeves away, "I can't control this matter!" ”
He should do this, saying that it was for the sake of the clan, but in fact it was for the Shen family's big house. The status of the big house in the clan is not as good as before, and the next patriarch doesn't know if it will be in the big house. But if he wins this mountain land for the clan, the position of the patriarch is a certainty!
But he never expected that the two brothers in the fifth room would dig a pit and wait for him to jump! If people know that he instigated the girl in the clan to be someone else's concubine, he would be ruined when he was old!
Seeing that the patriarch was gone, Shen Wangxin shrugged his shoulders lightly and stretched in front of the three of them: "Okay, the patriarch has already left." If you're all right, I'll catch up on sleep. ”
Shen Xiucai was silent, he had always said nothing in the fifth room of the Shen family. He won the show, and even the patriarch looked up to him a few points. Today, because of a forgetfulness, he lost face in front of his brother and sister-in-law.
He looked at the back of Shen Wangxin's easy departure, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't figure it out. He felt that he had a good heart for Shen Wang, and when Shen Fugui and Wu Jinhua treated her harshly, he only stood up and spoke for her. But why did she always go against herself, Zhang Fu gave her so much silver, even if she became the concubine of Prince Zhang?
Shen Fugui saw that the ten or two months of money in his hand was about to fly, so he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and asked, "Now that I don't even care about the patriarch, what can we do with her?" ”
"Now that her wings are stiff, how can we take care of it?" Shen Xiucai couldn't stay for a moment, and returned to his brother and sister-in-law's house without eating breakfast.
When Shen Wangxin left the ancestral hall, the sky was still bright. A morning star hangs on the ridge of Beacon Hill, and the continuous black hills are like a pair of hands, holding the morning star upward.
Even though it was summer, the morning breeze was still slightly cool, blowing the lantern hanging in front of the ancestral hall to shake gently.
Suddenly, a rooster crowed from nowhere, and then the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the light of the lantern became brighter and brighter.
When Aunt Shen rushed over with Li Zheng, Shen Wangxin was standing at the door of the ancestral hall. The wax light from the lantern shone red and shimmered red on her head.
