Chapter 37: Xin Yi and Lin Qian

On the second day, the four of them discussed the matter of consultation at the breakfast table.

"This morning, Ye Ziqi will arrange for General Gu to be released from prison to recuperate, and I will use the excuse of exploring the way for you doctors to investigate and assist him. In addition, General Gu's brother had close contact with him, and another general could be released on this ground. Achu said.

"Clever." I laughed, "If they have an opinion, just let them come to me." After all, the doctors and military doctors in the city have been tossing in vain these days, and the patients they handle are not as good as the ones we saw yesterday. ”

Xin Yi also agreed: "In addition, Prince Yi saw General Gu's state yesterday, and I think I have a real understanding of the plague in the city, so I won't come out casually." ”

I suddenly thought of something again: "By the way, Sun Ergou, when you see those soldiers today, you can ask about the grain and grass on the side, and take precautions." ”

Sun Zhongjing's face became bitter in an instant: "I...... Yesterday, many generals of the Gu family army were watching in the prison, I won't be killed as soon as I enter the barracks. ”

I said: "Although the four of us will inevitably be pointed at by unsuspecting fingers, how to treat your wife and concubine is your private matter after all, as long as your medical skills can come in handy, they will not dare to be rude to you no matter how they are used to it." ”

Sun Zhongjing still had a bitter face, and I smiled and said, "You won't offend the soldiers in the camp when you see a doctor yesterday." ”

Sun Zhongjing was silent, he acquiesced, and said for a while: "I maybe, to their military doctors...... The attitude is a bit bad, but their medical skills are really bad! ”

Xin Yi sighed and said, "It's really unforgiving. In this way, I will go to the barracks with you in the morning to see a doctor, and Bing Ran will come to replace me in the afternoon. ”

I said, "Yes." Now that the Beirong army outside the city is still eyeing it, it is necessary to restore the combat effectiveness of the soldiers as much as possible. Alas, it's a pity that our current antidote prescription is more precisely a pressure prescription, or it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, but we can't take care of so much at the moment. ”

After breakfast, I went to the resettlement site to see a doctor, and Achu went to look for Ye Ziqi, so I won't show it for the time being.

Let's say that Xin Yi and Sun Zhongjing spent three cents to hire an ox cart to rush to the barracks, and the coachman heard that they were doctors who treated the epidemic and charged one less person for the fare.

Surprisingly, the soldiers in the battalion did not talk about Sun Zhongjing, and it seemed that the tone of those people last night was indeed very tight.

noticed that many soldiers along the way saw Sun Zhongjing with a look of "can't be provoked" or "too lazy to meet you", Xin Yi was secretly amused.

In contrast, it is Xin Yi who attracts more attention. There are mostly young soldiers in the barracks, the Gu family army has strict military discipline, and it is strictly forbidden for female dependents to enter and leave on weekdays.

As a doctor, Xin Yi opened a pharmacy for a few years, but she didn't care about these, she was very calm in prescribing medicine for the soldiers, and she also smiled generously when she met the young soldiers who peeked at her, which greatly increased the goodwill of the Gu family.

Approaching noon, Lin Qian, who had just come down from the city wall, led a group of soldiers back to the camp, and happened to meet Sun Zhongjing and Xin Yi, who were about to leave the camp for lunch.

Sun Zhongjing felt that Lin Qian's eyes were full of disgust when he looked at him, so he said to Xin Yi: "I'll rush to the county government to see the two sick young generals of Gu Jiajun, you go back to the inn for dinner first." He left as if he had fled.

Xin Yi shook his head, turned to Lin Qian and saluted, "I've seen General Lin." ”

When Lin Qian saw her, he remembered what happened last night, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Gu Niangzi." Yours...... I mean, since Sun Gongzi still has something to do, the lady might as well have lunch in the camp and then go. ”

Xin Yi said lightly: "There is no need to eat, but since the general is back, I will tell the general about the situation we have seen so far before leaving." ”

Lin Qian led Xin Yi to his camp, and Xin Yi was not polite, sat down beside him, and explained the number of sick soldiers and the treatment one by one. Lin Qian took the paper and wrote it down, and said with a smile: "Thank you Gu Niangzi, the lady has worked hard." ”

"It's just a matter of duty." Xin Yi said: "Bingran will come to replace me in the afternoon, and before she leaves, you may ask her, or let her write an update on the situation to you." ”

"Lin Qian wrote it down." Lin Qian had unfinished words, but when he saw Xin Yi getting up to leave, he hurriedly said: "Gu Niangzi stays!" ”

"Is the general injured on the battlefield and wants me to be treated?"

“…… Never. ”

"What's the matter?"

Lin Qian was entangled for a long time, but he still opened his mouth: "I just feel that the ancient lady seems to have some ...... in the lower part Opinion. ”

"Hmm." Xin Yi's answer was light and light, but Lin Qian was at a loss: "I don't know what I did wrong to offend the ancient lady, please tell the lady, and I must correct it." ”

"Something wrong, huh." Xin Yi smiled bitterly: "Rejecting a family affair that a general does not want to do, can it be said that the general has done something wrong?" ”

Lin Qian was shocked: "Are you?" ”

"You forgot, my surname is Gu."

Lin Qian's face was cloudy, and he swallowed back the words a few times. Seeing him like this, Xin Yi felt that it was better to get straight to the point and put an end to this mess: "If the general doesn't know what to say, I'll tell you for you." ”

"The Lin family, the Jiangmen family in the capital, and the ancient family of the imperial doctor are families. The second son of the Lin family has admired the eldest girl of the Gu family since he was a child, and he knew that his parents wanted to marry. ”

"Marrying the daughter of the world's friends, the Lin family's parents naturally have nothing to disagree. The second son of the Lin family was very excited when he got the promise, and when the autumn hunt was approaching, he happily participated with his friends in the army on the emperor's order. ”

"The ten-day autumn hunt is over, and the two families have also decided. However, what he couldn't accept was that the person who was married to him changed from the eldest girl to the second girl. Xin Yi told the story, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.

"General, what will this Lin Erlang do?"

Lin Qian's original expression was solemn, and he didn't react when he was named. After a moment, he opened his mouth and replied: "The person he likes is not the second girl, and this family affair is barely completed and will not be happy." ”

"Yes, he was crazy and asked his mother for an explanation, but his mother never told him why. In the end, after five days of hunger strike at home, he went to the military camp and did not return home for another month, until the war broke out on the border, and he did not have time to return to see his mother before leaving with the army. ”

There was more apology and pain in Lin Qian's eyes: "This Lin Erlang is really unfilial." ”

"I don't have anything to say about him, but luckily he came back from the battlefield safely. When he knelt in front of his mother to plead guilty, his mother told him that the Gu family did this Li Dai Taostiff thing because the second girl of the Gu family was born with a dark disease and could not have children, and the biological mother of the second girl moved her mind. Later, they realized that they were at a loss and took the initiative to dissolve the marriage. It's just that because of this, the two families have a mustard, and it is not good to discuss the relationship again, and this delay has dragged on for five years. ”

After Lin Qian pondered for a while, he spoke: "Knowing that the two worlds are friends but doing this kind of thing, it is inevitable that there will be suspicions. But Lin Erlang ...... He will never give up on the person he loves. ”

Xin Yi stopped him: "General, don't rush to conclusions, I have another story here." ”

"The ancient family is the imperial doctor of the three dynasties, but it is not vigorous in this generation, there is only one man and two women, among them, the father of the eldest son and the eldest girl is the eldest son, and he is the imperial doctor in the palace. And the second girl's father is just a concubine, and she has a daughter, so she is naturally not valued by the family. ”

Xin Yi suddenly smiled: "However, the eldest prince who wants to inherit the position of the imperial doctor has no talent in the way of medicine, only this second girl has a heart for this way, and even consciously practices medicine all her life to help the world, and it is good not to talk about marriage." ”

"Therefore, when her aunt made a marriage contract for her and the second son of the Lin family, she was also shocked, after all, her eldest sister has not yet married, and her aunt, who is the biological mother of the eldest sister, has pulled the door for her, which is really bizarre, but the aunt is the mother of the ancient family, and her own biological mother is a folk medicine girl who was born ordinary, so she really can't participate in the marriage between the two families."

However, the second girl's family is not blind and stupid, three days later, she knew that it was not her who the Lin family asked to marry, but her eldest sister. But her eldest sister was crying and making trouble, and she didn't allow her to live or die, and her aunt doted on her daughter, and she was afraid that she would hurt the face of the two families by refusing to use this reason, so, "

The smile on Xin Yi's face suddenly turned cold: "She thought of a stupid way to replace the name of the marriage with the second girl's." ”

Lin Qian's face turned pale: "If you don't want to, why can't you say it clearly, but push your niece to come out to replace it?" ”

"The relationship between the family is the connection." Xin Yi said: "Although the two families are already world friends, and the imperial doctor and the military general have no entanglement of interests, but with more in-laws, the network will be more stable, so they need a daughter to marry into the Lin family." ”

"But the mother of the Gu family didn't expect that the second young lady of the Lin family, who was originally prepared for the eldest daughter of the Gu family, would disdain her daughter to sit down."

"Why?" Lin Qian's voice trembled a little.

Xin Yi looked at Lin Qian with a smile: "Because the eldest girl of the Gu family doesn't like people who practice martial arts, and she doesn't want to marry someone who wants to live with her head on the battlefield." ”

"Whenever the husband goes on an expedition, he can only be frightened at home, and he may become a widow at a young age, even if he marries in the past, it sounds like a chore, doesn't it?"

Lin Qian's face added a little loneliness: "Soldiers get together less with their parents, wives and children, and they have to make them frightened, it is indeed not an easy task to be a soldier's wife, she is neither willing, but also excusable." ”

So her good mother, reluctant to let her daughter cry and reluctant to give the Lin family this opportunity to get married, prepared a stand-in. And even if the mother of the Lin family found out that it was not good to hype it for the sake of the face of the two families, she could only suffer this dumb loss. A hint of mockery flashed in Xin Yi's smiling eyes.

Lin Qian's right hand on the table gradually clenched, Xin Yi didn't care, and then said: "I think that the general is also a soldier, and he is a little chilled by the Gu family's practices, but the general is interested in knowing, what should the second girl of the Gu family who was pulled out to replace him?" ”

"You...... No, what does she think? ”

"She?" Xin Yi looked at Lin Qian and said with a smile: "Being forced into a husband who no one else wants, she really doesn't care." ”

Lin Qian: "......"

"Indeed, it is not valued in the Gu family anyway, so what if you marry or not? What's more, the conditions of the Lin family are much better than those of the Gu family, and in terms of living standards, being the second young lady of the Lin family is always better than the daughter of the concubine of the Gu family. ”

Lin Qian also smiled: "Having said that, doesn't she care about her future husband's character and feelings and her eldest sister's concerns?" ”

"At that time...... I really don't care. Thinking that it is Jiangmen's family anyway, if the relationship is not good, it is not common for him to fight outside all the year round, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, which is quite free, and only coaxes my mother-in-law to don't allow me to practice medicine and medicine. Xin Yi thought for a moment and unconsciously slipped his mouth, "And my grandfather's family runs a medicine shop in Shuangqi Town, and it is not far from the northern border where they often fight, so if I hear that the battle situation is not good, I will run." ”

When Chen Yi heard this, he hurriedly objected: "It is the duty of a soldier to be loyal to the monarch and the country, and it is the duty of a soldier to never give up, but as a man, it is also his duty to protect his family, and no matter how he is, he should not let his wife put himself in danger." ”

"It's impossible to talk about risking his life, but he really died on the battlefield, and his mother-in-law was sad not to say it, and it was still not very convenient to be widowed, but it was only a matter of three years at most." Xin Yi explained seriously.

Lin Qian: "......"

"That's what I thought back then." Xin Yi realized that he had been "exposed", so he no longer shy away from it: "Who knows that you are not of bad character, but you have to be a couple for the rest of your life, and you would rather go on a hunger strike than marry a stand-in." ”

Seeing that Xin Yi was no longer beating around the bush, Lin Qian was embarrassed: "It's me Lin Qian who can't stand you." ”

"No, in fact, you are not wrong, who let this matter be the mother of the Gu family." Xin Yi said: "But then you didn't starve yourself to death and went out with the army, Uncle Lin was worried about you, and she was even more uncomfortable with your hunger strike, but she is also a real person, knowing that I am innocent, and I don't say anything about dissolving the marriage contract." ”

"But my aunt thought that she heard the rumors, and she was afraid that she would offend your family ruthlessly, and it happened that my father went out at that time, so he let out the wind and said that I couldn't have children, and went to Lin's house to cry and make a mess, and Mrs. Lin thought it was my biological parents who did it for me, so she angrily sent someone to send the divorce letter to my house, and it was also written that it was my parents who deceived me first."

"Your mother told you that my family took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract, thinking that she was afraid that you and your father and brother would feel that they would lose face and affect the relationship between the two families."

Lin Qian was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that the person in front of him was the "wife" who broke the marriage contract five years ago, and he didn't expect that there would be so many misunderstandings and calculations in this matter.

Although he does not participate in the affairs of the house, he also knows what impact he will have on a woman if he divorces for this reason.

Although she can't talk about conjugal love, now she will be the ...... of the man who beats his wife It should be inseparable from the practice of withdrawing from marriage for oneself and one's family.

Thinking of this, he made an apology salute to Xin Yi: "No matter what, it was my Lin family who misunderstood the ancient lady first and hurt the lady." It's just that Sun Zhongjing is not a good match, if the lady is ...... If he wants to leave him, whether it is money or a lawsuit, Lin Qian is willing to help. ”
