Chapter 300: Dowry

"What do you think, Daddy?" Xia Jin asked.

According to her meaning, she didn't want Xia Zhengqian to be the imperial doctor. A companion is like a tiger, not to mention, to be a royal doctor, most of them have to treat the harem concubines. Thinking that his father wants to kneel down to the women in the harem who rely on their posture to serve others, and their lives are in their hands, Xia Jin is not a feeling in his heart.

But in this world, it seems that being a doctor in Langzhong can only be considered a success, just like a scholar has to be a jinshi. Xia Zhengqian had talked about this topic when he was in Linjiang before, and when it came to the envious expression when a certain Langzhong was favored by the emperor and appointed as the imperial doctor, Xia Jin can still remember it clearly. If Xia Zhengqian is obsessed with this name, she will not be able to stop it.

"I refused." Xia Zhengqian said.

Xia Jin was stunned. She didn't expect Xia Zhengqian to do this.

"Why?" She asked.

Xia Zhengqian sighed: "I didn't know anything before, I thought that if I could enter the Tai Hospital, it would be considered a complete merit." But after entering Beijing, I realized that the imperial doctor was not so easy to do. During this time, the envoy of the Liang Yuan and the imperial doctor Jia often invited me to drink, and I heard them inadvertently talk about the various encounters they encountered in the palace, and they knew that good medical skills may not be able to cure the disease, and the water in it was muddy. Moreover, I saw that they were imperial doctors, and they were afraid of making mistakes when they saw a doctor, so they always prescribed some warm medicine, which could not cure the disease and could not cure the dead. What's the point of being Langzhong like this? It is better for me to be free, and trust me, and you will come; I couldn't believe it or I didn't see it after two doses, so I went to find another Langzhong. The prescription depends on the condition, and there is no need to think about it so much. ā€

Xia Jin was very happy that his father could figure this out, clapped his hands and smiled: "Dad, it's great that you can think like this." ā€

Xia Zhengqian glanced at Xia Jin and stroked his beard. said with a smile: "Why, you don't approve of your father going to be the imperial doctor?" ā€

Xia Jin nodded: "Of course." ā€

Xia Zhengqian laughed "haha", pointed at Xia Jin and said to Cen Ziman: "Look at this girl, you don't expect her father to be good." ā€

Cen Ziman faced his future father-in-law, even if he had a big personality, he couldn't let go. He only pursed his lips and smiled, but did not speak. It looks very demure.

Xia Zhengqian didn't care. asked Xia Jindao: "I heard your mother say that you want to open a pharmacy?" ā€

"Well, I came out today to find a shop." Xia Jin nodded.

At the beginning, Xia Jin went to the border to reassure his parents. The pills and medicinal rice he made were distributed to Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi. Xia Zhengqian greatly appreciated this. Those patients who have an emergency and are about to swallow their breath have to wait for Lang Zhong to prescribe the medicine to grab the medicine, and then slowly put it in the medicine jar to decoction, and after the decoction is done, they have to wait for the temperature of the medicine to drop down. The feeling of seeing that the patient is out of medicine but has not yet been able to eat, Xia Zhengqian is Langzhong. The most touching. Now Xia Jin can save the procedure of decoction and simplify the complex, which is definitely a good deed. At the same time, it is also definitely profitable.

Xia Zhengqian took out a piece of paper from his arms. Hand it to Xia Jin.

"What is this?" Xia Jin took it, and when he saw it clearly, it was a house deed, and the address was on this street. And the name of the owner of the house was her, and she immediately looked up. looked at Xia Zhengqian, "Dad, ...... you are?"

Xia Zhengqian ignored her, turned his head to Cen Ziman and said: "Sister Man, you made friends with Sister Jin when we were still in Linjiang, how our family got to this position step by step, I think you know best." When the family was first separated, the family only had a few dozen yuan, and the family of four with a few servants was about to go hungry. Later, with the money she made from her business, our days were richer. If it weren't for her, her brother might not have been able to study all the time, let alone worship a famous teacher and be a talent. Our family has today, all thanks to Sister Jin. Now that she is getting married, I don't have anything for her, buying a shop is a little bit of my father's heart. ā€

Saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head: "Actually, the money to buy the shop is all earned by her, and I just have a name." ā€

"Dad, don't say that." Xia Jin heard Xia Zhengqian say this, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

Over the years, she has opened restaurants and dim sum shops in Linjiang, and rebuilt the old city, making a lot of money. But in addition to buying a house at the beginning, the money used at home is basically the money earned by Xia Zhengqian from opening a medical center. After arriving in the capital, she immediately recognized the Shao family, and the food and clothing were all from the ancestral property of Gongzhong, and she did not spend the money she earned.

Xia Zhengqian is a very responsible person, in the past, in the Xia family, even if he was treated very unfairly, he silently made money to support the family. Not to mention raising your own small family after separation. He has always felt that he is the head of the family and that it is his duty to support his family. It is her daughter's own business that her daughter has the ability, and no matter how much money she makes, it is added to the dowry, and he will never live on the money her daughter earns.

He said this just now, firstly, for her face, and secondly, he was afraid that his future daughter-in-law would think too much, worried that after she married into the Shao family, she would find that Xia Qi could not get much property, and she had thoughts in her heart.

Mrs. Shao has long stated that no matter how many grandchildren there are in these recovered ancestral properties, since he only has three sons, he will divide the ancestral property into three equal parts, one for one room. There was only one male in the third room, Xia Qi, and at that time, Xia Zhengqian and Shu discussed and decided that when the Shao family was separated, the ancestral property would belong to Xia Qi, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver that Xia Jin had earned over the years, as well as the big mansion, land, and silver taels given to her by the emperor, were all given to her as a dowry.

Although the Shao family also had some property before the seizure, after it was divided into three parts, the property in each room was not very much. The ancestral property that Xia Qi got was probably less than half of the property in Xia Jin's hands, and these ancestral properties had to wait for Old Lady Shao and Old Lady Shao to be a hundred years later.

Xia Qi naturally had no objection to this resolution, and felt that he had a lot of money, and he was ashamed of the money earned by his sister, Xia Jin, and he felt the same as Xia Zhengqian, who felt that it was not his own property, no matter how much it was, it was not counted.

Cen Ziman has never been a calculating character. And in her opinion, since her parents bought a dowry for her, isn't it normal for Xia Zhengqian and Shu to buy a dowry for Xia Jin?

However, this is all the Shao family's housework, and how much dowry Xia Zhengqian and Shu gave Xia Jin is not something she can do.

She smiled and said, "I understand this. And he refused to say any more.

Before Xia Jin went to the border, she gave all her property to Shu for safekeeping. After she came back, Shu wanted to return all these things to her, but Xia Jin used the excuse of buying a dowry. And didn't take things back. She has the ability to make money, so she has always been very open to these things outside her body. Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi gave her how many things to dowry, she didn't care. She didn't know if Xia Zhengqian spent her money to buy this shop, or the savings he had saved in the past few years, she just thought it was a wedding gift from her father and accepted it happily.

"Thank you, Dad." She folded the deed and put it in her purse.

Seeing that her daughter did not refuse. Xia Zhengqian was very happy. He also advised: "Seeing that the day of marriage is approaching day by day, there are many things, so let's put the matter of opening a shop first." Wait until you get married. As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Jin with deep meaning.

Xia Jin wanted to say that there was nothing wrong. But when he saw his father's eyes, he swallowed the words again.

With her mind spinning, she faintly understood what Xia Zhengqian meant.

This medicine money is another extremely profitable business. Although she got married after more than two months. But two months is enough time for others to see the potential of this pharmacy to make money. Although the Shao family is good, they are all good. But I used to stay in the northern cold land and had nothing, so I kept it simple. But after a few months of cultivation in the capital, who knows if someone has gone bad? Wealth touches people's hearts. The Shao family didn't know the money she made by opening a restaurant and a dim sum shop. The house and land in Beijing were all given by the emperor in her personal name, and the Shao family could not take it away, but this pharmacy could be regarded as the property of the Shao family. At that time, some people took the Shao family Gongzhong to give Xia Jin a dowry as a reason. Treat the pharmacy as the property of the Shao family's public middle school, is it a family of four in three rooms? Do you have to argue with your family about such a shop? If you don't fight, you are naturally unwilling; fights, and hurts feelings. Why bother?

Man's greed is the most untestable.

She nodded, "I see." In my heart, I was happy for Xia Zhengqian's progress.

When he was in the Xia family, Xia Zhengqian was not so clear-headed. Now that I have been in the capital and my big family for half a year, I have learned that "the heart of guarding against others is indispensable". Although this is not a good thing or a bad thing, at least with such a father, Xia Jin can rest assured that he can get married.

Seeing that Xia Zhengqian had no other instructions, Xia Jin and Cen Ziman said goodbye and prepared to get into the carriage and go home.

"Hey, what's going on over there?" Cen Ziman pointed not far away and shouted.

Xia Jin turned his head to look, and saw a group of people surrounding in front of a silver building, everyone stretched out their heads to look in; And the crowd was very noisy, and there seemed to be an argument.

When did this not happen? Xia Jin didn't like to join in the excitement, so he turned around and said, "Let's go......" Before he finished speaking, he saw Cen Ziman running towards that side.

"Girl!" Xue'er stomped her foot and glanced at Xia Jin helplessly.

Cen Ziman has no other problems, he just likes to join in the fun. Now that there is a lively look, how can she not go to the onlookers?

Xia Jin had no choice but to follow.

When she got closer to see what was going on, she lost interest even more. It turned out to be a little beggar who was chasing a young man to beg, and accidentally rubbed the other party's clothes and stained the other party's exquisite white brocade robe. The young man's entourage wanted to beat the little beggar, but was stopped by a kind man. The entourage asked the kind-hearted man to pay for the little beggar's clothes, where would the kind-hearted man be willing? So a few people are pulling and arguing.

This kind of thing is normal, and the worst result is that the little beggar is scolded and beaten twice. I don't know which young lady was sympathetic, stood on the side of the little beggar, and asked her maid to stand up and scold the young man, saying that he had no sympathy, so she stirred up the already chaotic scene even more chaotic.

Xia Jin wanted to leave, but it could be seen that Cen Ziman watched it with relish, so she had to stand outside the crowd and wait for her.

"Ah, my purse, who stole my purse?" There was an exclamation from the crowd, an old man in his fifties was so angry that the people around him quickly dodged away, for fear of being suspected of him.

"Woo, this is the money borrowed to buy medicine for my wife, who stole it and returned it to me." The old man was so anxious that he began to cry.

"Old man, are you lying? Your wife is sick, are you still in the mood to come and see the excitement? The man next to him shouted.

"I—I'm just passing by, sticking my head out and taking a look." The old man said embarrassedly, and then began to cry again.

Everyone touched their money bags and secretly congratulated themselves that their money was not lost. Worried that it would be their turn next, and they couldn't watch this excitement any longer, so they prepared to leave.

"Hey, don't go." A woman dressed as a maid grabbed a middle-aged man in a purple brocade robe, "Give the money bag back." ā€

The purple-robed man was startled and struggled hard: "What are you doing?" Why do you call me a thief? However, the maid's hand was like iron tongs, so that the purple-robed man couldn't break free.

When those who were about to disperse saw this, they immediately stopped and gathered again.

The maid pointed to the purple-robed man's chest and said to the old man who had lost the money: "Your money bag is here, touch it yourself." ā€

The old man wiped away his tears, stepped forward and reached out to touch it, and after a while, he took out an old blue money bag.

He was overjoyed, clenched the money bag tightly, knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed to the maid: "Thank you girl for saving her life." ā€

"Quick, big brother officer, here and here." A maid wearing the same style of clothing led two catchers over, pointed to the purple-robed man and said, "It's him." ā€

When the old man saw the catch, he excitedly pointed at the purple-robed man and shouted, "Lord Servant, he stole my money bag, arrest him quickly." ā€

"This person is so bad that he even steals money from people to buy medicine to save his life." Cen Ziman's angry voice sounded in Xia Jin's ears.

Xia Jin turned his head and glanced at Cen Ziman, and said with a smile: "Why don't you fight today?" ā€

Cen Ziman blushed and glanced at Xia Jin: "Don't laugh at others!" ā€

At the beginning of Xia Jin's arrival in Beijing, the most troublesome thing about going to the street with Cen Ziman was that this Nizi liked to watch the excitement, and she also liked to fight like the enthusiastic young lady just now. But things in the world are not as simple as white or black, and the results of her actions often make her depressed, and the party she helped is not necessarily grateful to her, but she provoked an enemy in the court for her father and brother.

Although she still likes to watch the excitement now, she has become much more cautious about whether she should make a move.

"Let's go, go back." Xia Jin said.

"Hey, don't go." Cen Ziman grabbed her, pointed to a shop in the distance and said, "Look, that's the second girl of the Gong family, and those two maids turned out to be hers." ā€

Xia Jin looked in the direction she was pointing, and saw a young woman of seventeen or eighteen years old standing there listening to the conversation of the two maids who had just caught the thief and the fast catcher. This woman has a melon seed face and big eyes, and she is actually a rare beauty. A pair of beautiful eyes are looking forward to shining, but the temperament of the whole body is very demure. The two maids muttered for a while, and the woman only nodded, and was about to turn away.

"Hey, Miss Gong." Cen Ziman hurriedly chased after him and shouted. (To be continued)
