Aunt Shen didn't worry about Shen Wangxin going alone, so she followed Shen Wangxin to the outside of the ancestral hall. originally thought that with her watching, the patriarch would have to weigh Lizheng's identity no matter how difficult the little girl was.

But as soon as the two arrived at the door of the ancestral hall, Aunt Shen was stopped by a man with a raw eye. This man is a person from the big house, and the reason why he stayed outside the door was because the patriarch had already explained that he would not let the Lizheng family interfere.

Rao is Aunt Shen no matter how much she wants to help Shen Wangxin, she can't disobey the patriarch in public. had to repeatedly tell Shen Wangxin to be careful, and she plunged into the darkness and hurried to find Lizheng.

Shen Wangxin nodded at the man guarding the door, and then walked straight into the ancestral hall. The entrance is a patio with a stone staircase in the center, but it is usually not crowded. There are steps on both sides of the stone steps, which are usually passable, and there are many more rules in ancient times than in modern times, especially in the clan.

Shen Wangxin picked the steps on the right and walked up, and saw rows of tablets enshrined in the center of the lobby. An oil lamp was lit in front of each tablet, and when viewed from afar, it looked like a sky full of stars twinkling.

She was not afraid of these tablets, and when she looked down from the tablets, she saw a white-bearded old man sitting in the lobby, with a cane beside him, thinking that it was the current patriarch of the Shen family.

"The heart girl is here?" The patriarch smiled at her, pointed to the chair beside him, and asked her to sit beside him, "I can't hide it, I invited you to the ancestral hall today to discuss something with you." ”

Shen Wangxin sat down unceremoniously, with the same smile on his face: "Patriarch Grandpa wants to tell something, but it doesn't matter, if it can be done, I will do my best." ”

The patriarch paused for a moment and said, "This matter is not a big deal, it is just related to the livelihood of the people in our village, and it has to be solved, and the problem lies in the mountain behind the stream of your house." ”

The stream behind Shen Wangxin's courtyard is called Wubu Creek. Wubu Creek traces its source and is a dense mountain forest. This mountain forest has always been the place where the people of Xitou Village rely for their survival, and the king hunters in the village often go to this forest to hunt. Moreover, there are many birds and animals in this mountain forest, and there are many wild vegetables and fungi.

In addition to the food they grow, the things around the people in the village all come from this forest.

Shen Wangxin didn't understand what was going on in this forest, and she needed to come over to help solve it. It's not nice to say, she's just a doctor, how can she be able to deal with Lin Zi's affairs?

Seeing that her face was full of doubts, the patriarch sighed and said, "Although this forest is in the boundary of our village, it is not from our Xitou Village. When the ancestors of the Shen family first moved over, Xitou Village was originally called Shenjia Village, and at that time, everyone in the village could not eat enough, so they sold this forest to the Zhang family in the county. ”

He paused, saw Shen Wangxin nodding, and continued: "Originally, the Zhang family didn't plan to use this forest, but a few days ago, there was news that they were going to sell the forest to the people in Jiulong Village on the other side of the mountain!" If this is the case, won't it cut off the livelihood of our village? ”

Speaking of this, Shen Wangxin still didn't understand. What does the Zhang family want to sell Lin Zi to her? Even the money she has in hand is not enough to buy this forest.

"This is easy, Mr. Zhang's body has not been very good since he was a child, and he has invited many doctors to recuperate over the years, but it has not always been good." The patriarch glanced at her, picked up the teacup next to him, and flicked the tea leaves floating on his head with the tea lid, "Your second uncle said that if you are willing to treat Zhang Dagongzi, Zhang Yuanwai may not be able to sell this forest." ”

Although Shen Wangxin lowered her head slightly, looking at the silver bracelets she was wearing on her hands, she heard every word of the patriarch clearly.

After the patriarch finished speaking, Shen Wangxin smiled slightly and said, "If he wants to heal, he can come to Xitou Village, and I will personally diagnose and treat him." ”

The patriarch shook his head and said, "How can Zhang Dagongzi deign to come to this small medical hall in the countryside to see a doctor?" Only you go to Zhang's mansion to diagnose and treat Zhang's eldest son. ”

"That's easy to say." Shen Wangxin hooked the corners of his mouth and said with a smile, "When will Mr. Zhang be free, I will go to Zhang's Mansion in the county and take a look for him." ”

As soon as the words fell, the patriarch looked at Shen Fugui with a smile and said, "Fugui, your family is really a little girl with sharp teeth." ”

Shen Fugui was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, their patriarch didn't look kind at all, and there were all male dolls who were scared and cried when they lowered their faces. Don't look at him at such an old age, but none of them in the Shen family dare not listen to him, and there are some means.

At this time, he was looking at Shen Wangxin with a sunny and rainy face. Due to his age, there are already folds on his eyelids, and the skin of the upper eyelids hangs down, forming a pair of triangular eyes, but it can't stop a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"During this time, the heart girl took care of the medical hall very well." The patriarch said words of praise in his mouth, but there was no trace of a smile on his face, "I have heard people say that the willow wood of the water song in the lobby is made of a large medicine cabinet, and the medicine cabinet is full of a hundred flavored medicines. The table of the Eight Immortals in red lacquered pine, the table with high stilts, and the large white vase next to the medicine cabinet. With so many belongings, there is no one who can't afford to buy a hundred or two, right? ”

Shen Xiucai has always been in the county, even if he has time to go to Xitou Village, he has never been to Wuwei Yaozhai to see it. In his eyes, no matter how well this medical hall is run, it is just a wild hall in the countryside, how can it compare to the Rongchun Hall in the county?

Unexpectedly, the patriarch said it one by one, which made Shen Xiucai, who had seen a lot in Zhang's mansion, unable to help but raise his eyelids.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, the impression of the yellow-skinned Shen Wangxin has long been gone. I saw a young girl with pink face and peach cheeks, standing in front of her, wearing a silver laurel garnet collar around her neck, and a silver medal in the style of a longevity lock hanging on the ring.

Shen Xiucai couldn't help but look back at Wu Jinhua and Shen Fugui, he thought that the two of them had already gone out of shit luck when they gave birth to Shen Yueying. Who knows, his brother and sister-in-law are not good at brains, and the children they gave birth to are good-looking.

The second girl in their family is dressed up, and she is not as handsome as his brother and sister-in-law.

But his thoughts were quickly pulled back by Shen Wangxin's voice, only to hear her chuckle, and after saluting the patriarch, he replied: "Willow wood is willow wood, but ordinary willow wood and ash ash wood, that is a heaven and an earth. Nowadays, ash wood is made into a medicine cabinet, and the ordinary one also costs thirty taels of silver. I just don't know which one is more mouthy, chewing my tongue in front of the patriarch and grandfather, you must not listen to the rumors outside. Otherwise, it's easy to listen and believe! ”

The patriarch was still smiling at Shen Fugui one moment, and the next moment his face sank: "Heart girl, it's made of ordinary willow wood, and such a big medicine cabinet costs seven or eight taels of silver, right?" Coupled with your soothing and blood-invigorating wine, it is difficult to find a bottle in Yuqing County, but I am afraid that there are few people in our village who can compare to you. Seeing that you are about to fly on the branch and become a phoenix, but your father and mother begged to come to me, how do you explain this? ”
