"If neither of these are the case, would it be that you are too careful?" Lin Miao asked.

"I wish I had a lot of heart, but..."

Chen Xiuling paused as she spoke, and then said: "Duan Wangye's brother, his name is Huang Guangping, and in just a few years, Duan Wangye's industry has expanded more than ten times, which is not something that can be obtained by normal operation. ”

"Maybe he's a business genius?"

Chen Xiuling shook her head, "No kind of business genius can do it." ”

"Let me tell you this, Jingshi has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and there are already people doing it in any industry, and they have done it to the extreme."

"If you want to make a profit from it, you can either bring forth the new, or knock out the existing industry, in short, only one is the only one that can be full of money, otherwise no matter how good it is, it can only make a small profit."

"I also have an industry in Jingshi, so I know about the current situation in Jingshi, and I haven't seen the new, so I infer that he is forcibly occupying other people's properties."

Lin Miao frowned, "If he says this, won't the people who were forcibly occupied by him fight back?" Money often unmakes the men who make it. ”

"This is exactly the reason why I'm worried, children will cry twice to express their dissatisfaction when they are robbed of food, why is there no news at all when such a big family is robbed?"

Lin Miao propped his hands on the table, his eyes flashed, and after a while, he said, "Then I can only wait for him to grab it, and then make plans." ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Ye Qing's voice sounded outside the door.

"Miss, Mother Zhang, who is next to my uncle's wife, is here."

Chen Xiuling walked back to the chair and sat down, and said, "Let her in." ”

The door creaked open, and the light slanted in, just up to the foot of the table.

The smiling woman walked in slowly, and said behind Fu, "The slave maid Zhang has seen Miss Biao." ”

"Mother Zhang is polite, I don't know what the eldest aunt asked you to come."

"Back to Miss Cousin's words, the eldest lady said that there will be distinguished guests coming to the door tomorrow, so Miss Cousin will prepare and greet them together."

"Guest?" Chen Xiuling's eyes flashed, "The distinguished guest who came last time?" ”

Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment, and lowered her head.

Chen Xiuling hooked the corners of her mouth, "You tell my aunt that I won't go, I'm an internal dependent, and it's not in accordance with the rules to greet a foreign man." ”

This...

Zhang's mother was a little late to react, no wonder Mrs. wanted her to invite her in person, if it was an ordinary maid, she wouldn't be dumbfounded?

"Miss Biao, the identity of this distinguished guest is not simple, he is the brother of Duan Wangye, and he is a relative of the emperor."

Chen Xiuling sank her face, "Mother Zhang, you go back and tell my eldest aunt that Xie Mansion is not a small family, and if you don't want people to laugh, you can stop this heart." ”

Zhang's mother smashed her mouth, how could she persuade her? If you persuade again, you want to make Xie Fu laughed at.

"The slave and maid retired first." Zhang's mother said that she was blessed and withdrew.

Looking at her back, Lin Miao muttered: "You can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night, this is really right, as soon as you say it, you will come." ”

"What?" Lin Miao's voice was too small for Chen Xiuling to hear clearly.

Lin Miao turned her head to look at Chen Xiuling and asked, "What are you going to do?" Do you want to give you some medicine? Just kill him. ”

Chen Xiuling nodded seriously: "Okay, give me that slow-moving poison and let him die slowly." ”

"Do you really want it?" Lin Miao was taken aback.

Chen Xiuling blinked, "Of course, why not?" It's not a pity for someone like him to die, and I don't have to worry about it if I thought you had such a medicine. ”

Lin Miao didn't have the poison in her hand, but it wasn't that she couldn't do it, that is, it was compatible with the education she received.

Do it?

Lin Miao took a deep breath, her nose fluttered, would she be condemned in her heart if she did it?

"Yue'er, you believe me, this person is ruthless, and keeping him will harm countless families."

These words made Lin Miao's heart move, "Okay, I'll go back and do it, and I'll send it to you tomorrow." ”

"Great." Chen Xiuling's eyes burst out with dazzling brilliance, "I really hope to come early tomorrow." ”

At this moment, Ye Qing knocked on the door and walked in, and said, "Miss, there is news from Rong Jintang that Mrs. Uncle is asking Master Hou to greet your guests tomorrow." ”

Chen Xiuling stood up suddenly, "This stupid woman." He walked out.

Lin Miao pursed her lips, stood up and walked out.

When the two of them came to Rongjin Hall, they heard the angry voice of a woman coming from the hall.

"Father, is your face more important or is your descendants more important? Master Huang is willing to help, what's wrong with you going to greet you? It's not for you to kneel down and beg him. ”

Chen Xiuling clenched her fists in anger, and without waiting for the spread to pass on, she walked directly around the screen, and shot at Mrs. Xie with fire in her eyes, "Auntie, your father is also a five-rank imperial historian, how can you say such thoughtless words?" ”

"My maternal grandfather is the Hou Ye from the third grade, how many grades is he Huang Guangping? Let my grandfather go and meet him, will he be able to stand it? ”

A hint of resentment flashed in Mrs. Xie's eyes, it was really a wrong decision to leave this little to smash, but after more than a month, she stretched her hands everywhere.

This is not enough, educating her at every turn is really unbearable.

What Mrs. Xie said was what Boss Xie wanted to say, and when she saw that she was being scolded, she hurriedly scolded: "Chen Xiuling, don't forget, this is Xie Mansion, when is it your turn to be loud?" ”

"Uncle, I know you want to inherit the title, but I can tell you very clearly, that is impossible, and the position of the prince of the Jingshi Feng Guogong Mansion has not come down, if you find someone who can't beat a few hundred poles, you will have a chance, do you think others won't look for it? Don't be stupid, it's imperative to take back the title. ”

In the previous life, the new emperor succeeded to the throne, and the Beijing officials were purged, and none of the nominal princes and uncles remained.

A quiet room.

Chen Xiuling said again: "Listen to me, keep the big house and the existing property, don't be greedy." ”

"You, it's because your father has lost his official position, so he doesn't want our family to inherit the title, for fear of being inferior to us." Xie Yunmeng said.

Chen Xiuling gave Xie Yunmeng a cold look, she didn't want to deal with such a fool at all.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Xie Haonan sighed, "It's my fault, if I had refused to accept Yulu at the beginning, you wouldn't have so many ideas." ”

"Father..."

Xie Haonan raised his hand, "This matter is not to be mentioned again, so what Huang Guangping, don't come and go." ”

Boss Xie stood up hurriedly, "How can this work?" Even if he is not a knighthood, he can know him, and if he is a prince in the future..."

"Shut up." Xie Haonan roared, and then coughed violently, coughing all over his face and tears.

Chen Xiuling hurriedly patted him on the back, "Don't worry, don't worry,"

Lin Miao stepped forward and pressed two acupuncture points on him, Xie Haonan finally slowed down, and gasped for breath.

Chen Xiuling: "Uncle, be careful of the trouble that comes out of your mouth." ”

Being taught a lesson by his niece, Boss Xie became angry and asked, "Do you have any elders in your eyes?" ”

Chen Xiuling: "......"

Lin Miao shook her head speechlessly and said to Chen Xiuling: "Your uncle is really indescribable. ”

Chen Xiuling was also speechless, "Who said it wasn't?" ”

Going out of Xie Mansion, Lin Miao's carriage came directly to the medical school.

There were fewer patients today, and the old lady Chen was not there, and the disciples were standing together in twos and threes discussing something.

Lin Miao got out of the carriage and walked towards the reference room, and when the disciples saw her, they saluted at the same time, "I've seen Uncle Shi." ”

"Well, did you listen to the lecture today?" Lin Miao asked.

Disciples: "Yes. ”

"That's good," Lin Miao said as she walked to the door of the data room.

In the reference room, Lin Shikang was looking through Lin Miao's previous handwritten medical case, writing and making marks while reading.

Lin Miao raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Grandpa, it's me." ”

Lin Shikang didn't raise his head, "Come on, come on, is what you wrote here wrong, safflower, xin, warm, has the effect of invigorating blood and removing stasis, dispersing dampness and removing swelling, avoid pregnant women to use it, otherwise it will cause miscarriage..."

Lin Miao's footsteps paused, before her grandfather came, she was the boss, and now she is the second in seconds.

"What are you doing? Come here. Lin Shikang looked back.

"Yes," Lin Miao responded and walked over quickly.

In the next quarter of an hour, Lin Miao, who made a mistake in writing a word, was trained from the second child to a grandson.

"I know it's wrong, and I will be serious and careful in the future."

Lin Shikang was satisfied, put down the pen in his hand, and said with honor: "Ah He said that you have cured your rabies, and this medical case is well written to facilitate the passing of the generations." ”

"Yes, I see."

Lin Shikang turned around and began to look at Lin Miao's handwritten medical case again, and after a while, he found that his granddaughter was still standing in a daze, glanced at it, and asked, "What?" Do you have something to say to me? ”

Lin Miao wrung her hands and said cautiously: "That, grandpa, I've been out for half a year and I'm going back." ”

Lin Shikang's flipping hand paused for a moment, lowered his eyes, and asked in a muffled voice, "Where are you going?" ”

"Linjia Village, Gaoqiao Town, Chuanyuan County, Mingyang County." After Lin Miao finished speaking, she counted her heartbeat and waited for an answer.

Time ticks by.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Shikang finally spoke, "It's only been a year since I saw my grandfather and I didn't kiss?" ”

"Nope."

"If not, why rush back? Grandpa is old, and he doesn't know if he can survive this year. ”

Lin Miao wrung her hands and didn't speak, as soon as she saw her grandfather now, she couldn't help but remember that she was raised as a stand-in, and she inevitably felt a little nostalgic in her heart.

"Was that kid surnamed Lu who tricked you away?"

Lin Miao shook his head violently: "No, no, it's me, I'm going back, he didn't say anything." ”

Lin Shikang was so angry that he blew his beard: "You still protect that stinky boy, that stinky boy is not a good person at first glance, rude, stubborn, and possessive..."

"Grandpa, although Lu Feng has shortcomings, he also has advantages."

"What's the plus? I haven't seen him for a few days. ”

Lin Miao: "......"

"Can't tell?" Lin Shikang stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Miao to sit on a chair, and then said: "Xiao Miao, grandpa is from here, and this choice of partner can't just look good." ”

"I didn't just look good."

"Then you say, what are his merits?"

"His roast chicken is delicious."

Lin Shikang slapped Lin Miao on the back of the head, "How did grandpa teach you since you were a child?" was actually deceived by a roast chicken. ”

Lin Miao puffed out her mouth and said with resentment: "You used me as a stand-in, but he didn't." ”

"Stand-in? Who told you I used you as a stand-in? Lin Shikang said and thought of something, "Xiao Miao, your name was not given to you by your grandfather." ”

Lin Miao was stunned, "Then how did my name come from?" ”

"Your father got it for you."

"Do I have a father, too?" Lin Miao didn't know how she felt, in her heart she was a child who was thrown away, her parents were non-existent people, and of course it was impossible to name her.

Lin Shikang raised his hand and rubbed Lin Miao's head, "Silly boy, how did you come here without a father?" ”

Lin Miao muttered, "He, why don't they want me?" ”

Lin Shikang's rough fingers stroked the corners of Lin Miao's eyes, wiped away her inadvertent tears, and said softly: "It's not that they don't want you, it's that God is too cruel." ”

Lin Miao asked in a hoarse voice, "Are they all dead?" ”

"Well, buried under a collapsed tall building." Lin Shikang replied.

Lin Miao's tears flowed out, blurring her vision, and she choked up: "Grandpa hates it, don't tell me earlier." ”

"It's grandpa, it's wrong, don't cry." Lin Shikang patted the little man who was crying in his arms.

At this moment, Old Lady Chen and Lu Feng walked in, and the two of them paused at the same time, and then walked over quickly.

Lu Feng helped Lin Miao up and let her lean on top of him, looked down at her and asked, "Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Miao sobbed and said, "I, I, it's okay." ”

Lin Shikang gave Lu Feng a dissatisfied look, and said in his heart: Stinky boy, you want to arch my cabbage, you want to be beautiful.

Chen's house

Chen Zhu and her cousin Zhang Biyao were strolling around the courtyard, and when they were tired of walking, they sat down in a gazebo in a small garden.

The maids served tea, served the refreshments, and retreated.

Zhang Baguio took a sip of tea, "Good tea, it's so fragrant." ”

"Be careful with the soup." Chen Zhu glanced at Zhang Biyao.

Zhang Biyao put down the tea and said, "Cousin, is Brother Sheng really coming back?" ”

"You've asked seven or eight times."

"Tell me again, I always feel like I'm dreaming."

Chen Zhushi stretched out his hand and flicked Zhang Baguio's head, "Does it hurt?" ”

Zhang Biyao covered her forehead, "It hurts." ”

"Knowing that it hurts is not a dream."

Zhang Biyao put down her hand and raised a big smile, "I really didn't expect that Brother Sheng would come back." ”

"Grandfather asked him to come back, this time I don't think I will leave for half a year, I heard my father-in-law say that my grandfather wants my eldest brother to learn from Imperial Doctor Lin."

Zhang Biyao pursed her lips, "Brother Sheng's medical skills are already very exquisite. ”

Chen Zhu glared at Zhang Baguio, "You can't say this casually, the first sentence of our Chen family's ancestral training is that medicine is endless, and you can never be complacent." ”

"I'll tell you about it." Zhang Biyao expressed grievances.

Chen Zhushi picked up a piece of refreshment and stuffed it to her, "I blame you, compensate you." ”

"Your compensation is too stingy too."

"If you want to be atmospheric, you can help your cousin create more opportunities, if your cousin can marry Chen Xiuling, I will give you a set of Babaolou jewelry."

Zhang Biyao put the refreshments back on the plate, "Cousin, why do you like that Chen Xiuling so much?" ”

Seeing that his cousin was asking seriously, Chen Zhu also replied seriously: "There are three reasons, one is that my father likes Mr. Chen's calligraphy and painting very much, and I believe that he will definitely love the house and look at Mr. Chen's granddaughter. ”

"The second is that Chen Xiuling's father also married her stepmother, but she was not suppressed by her stepmother, but kept making her stepmother suffer dumb losses."

"The third is gentle, virtuous, good-looking and able to manage the family business, let me tell you, when she lived in my house, she arranged the people in the yard properly in less than half an hour."

Zhang Biyao has nothing to say about these three points, because she has often heard Xie Yunmeng complain recently that her cousin is anti-guest and controls her family.
