Chapter 167: Persuade
Su Muxian's wound gradually healed, but the person became more and more silent. If Lu Liang and Xia Jin didn't talk to him, he could sit there and not speak for a long time.
Xia Jin couldn't see it anymore, sat down in front of him, and glanced at him: "I said that you are a little promising, okay?" If he robs you of your things, you have to take them back. Is it worth such a half-dead unhappiness? ”
"But that's my brother." Su Muxian lowered his eyes and looked at the cup of tea in his hand, "My mother is still protecting him." ”
"Snort", Xia Jin smiled mockingly: "Then he killed you twice, why didn't he think that you were his brother?" Talking about love with this kind of brute, you are really Mr. Dongguo! ”
"Mr. Dongguo?" Su Muxian raised his eyes, "What Mr. Dongguo?" ”
Xia Jin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that this was an overhead ancient time, and many classics in the previous life were not available here. She told Su Muxian the story of Mr. Dongguo and the central wolf.
After speaking, she said: "Do you think you are a good person by indiscriminately treating bad people?" Mr. Dongguo saved the central wolf, and the wolf not only wanted to eat him, but also ate others, which was tantamount to indirectly harming other people's lives. Your younger brother is still so vicious to his own brother, and you can imagine how he treats others. If you indulge him, you will do him harm. ”
Su Muxian grew up in the temple since he was a child, and all he received was "compassion" and "forgiveness", even if he was a bad person, he also paid attention to the tolerance of "putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground". His brother killed him, and he didn't think about killing him back. I just don't understand why my dear flesh and blood have to die for that empty thing.
Now Xia Jin's set of crooked theories has subverted his cognition, but it is very reasonable, which makes his mind confused.
I don't understand. He simply asked: "But if I kill him too, won't it be the same as him, killing him?" So what's the difference between me and him? ”
"You killed him because he wanted to kill you." Xia Jin hated that iron could not become steel, so he reached out and knocked him on the head hard, "If you don't kill him, he will kill you, and you will never be allowed to live in the world." Haven't you heard a phrase? 'Cutting the grass does not remove the roots. The spring breeze blows and grows'. Victimizers. The most weak heart, I don't see you die, and I will never give up. ”
"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots. The spring breeze blows and grows. Su Mu muttered as he savored this sentence, and after tasting it, his brows furrowed.
Xia Jin saw that he was still not sober, so he took Luo Qian's incident as an example: "What happened at the banquet in Luofu that day. You know that, right? ”
Su Muxian nodded: "I know." His eldest brother wanted to harm him, but he fought back. Suffer from it. ”
"Then did you know that he was killed by his eldest brother and almost died?"
Su Mu was startled and shook his head: "I don't know." Then he asked, "What's going on?" Tell me about it. ”
Xia Jin told Luo Qian that he was the first to delay his illness and almost die because of Aunt Zhang and Luo Yu's troublemakers.
Su Muxian listened to this. After a long silence, he frowned for a while and said, "But even if the third son of Luo is victimized. It didn't kill his eldest brother. ”
"That's because Grand Prince Luo didn't directly use a knife to cut people!" Xia Jin's words shattered his only remaining illusion, "But what about your brother?" ”
Su Muxian covered his head with his hands and said nothing.
Xia Jin didn't let him go, and asked again: "It is right to repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness." How to repay virtue with virtue? If you are killed by your brother, will I save you in vain? That's how you repay me? ”
Su Muxian put down his hand, straightened his body, and raised his eyes to look at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin waved his hand: "Okay, I won't say more." Your own business, make your own decisions. But let me warn you, you can't go back to the temple you used to have. Your good brother must send someone to wait for you to go back and die, don't throw yourself into the net. ”
She stood up and walked out.
On the second day, the boot hanging on the head of the third room of the Xia family finally fell to the ground: the Zhu family sent someone to ask Xia Qi to see a doctor, and learned that Xia Qi was not at home, but went to Mr. Cui. If it is cured, there will be great thanks. ”
The words were polite, but the threat remained. Although they made up their minds, Xia Zhengqian and Shu Shi were still worried, sighing for a long time, and for a while they were afraid that they would offend the prefect and cause trouble; For a while, I felt that Zhu Dagongzi was forced to be a concubine, and it was good to die of illness, and this disease must not be seen. Swaying from side to side, restless.
Seeing this, Xia Jin had to give them a dose of medicine, and pretended to be angry and said: "Since you want to be thoughtful on both sides, it's easy, just ask someone to take my brother back, and then I will pretend to be him and go to see Zhu Gongzi." After being cured, I will stay there as a concubine and not come back, you take your brother with you, so that you can live. ”
With that, she dropped her sleeves and went back to her yard.
Su Muxian's injuries gradually healed, and he could sit and lie freely, so Lu Liang was called back by Xia Jin, and he showed his face in the house from time to time, and only went to see Su Muxian three times a day.
At this time, Lu Liang got Xia Jin's hint and whispered to Xia Zhengqian: "The villain was sent by the girl to inquire about the news in front of Zhu's mansion in the past few days, and I heard that Zhu Gongzi has an inhumane disease. The disease is also disgusting. Master, if you send a girl to see him, even if the Zhu Mansion lets the girl come back, the girl will not have the face to come back. ”
Xia Zhengqian was shocked.
He didn't plan to let Xia Jin go to Zhu Youcheng to see a doctor, but he just offended the prefect of a state as a small ordinary person, and he was just uneasy.
At this time, he had just been squeezed by his daughter, and when Lu Liang said this again, he suddenly became anxious, and said with a white face: "How could I say that I let Sister Jin go to see a doctor?" If I don't see a doctor, even if he is a prefect, what can he do with me? I didn't break the law, and I didn't pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, can he still eat me? ”
Saying this, his heart settled, just waiting for Zhu Fu's second boot to fall.
I didn't think that there was no news from Zhu's Mansion, Xia Zhengshen came to the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he persuaded Xia Zhengqian: "I heard that Zhufu asked Brother Qi to go over to see Zhu's eldest son, why didn't you go?" ”
Xia Zhengqian's eyes narrowed: "Where did you get the news?" ”
Xia Zhengshen looked embarrassed: "Isn't Master Zhu the future husband of Sister Zhu?" He was sick, and I would have sent to see him. And that's how it happened. ”
After speaking, he said: "Although Brother Qi'er's homework is important, isn't this just the end of the children's exam?" If you want to take the exam again, I'm afraid you won't have to wait for another two or three years? Pick him up from Mr. Cui's house, see Zhu Dagongzi and then go, it's only a few days to come and go, and you can't delay anything, you quickly send someone to pick him up. It's not a trick to offend the prefect, don't bother me. ”
Xia Zhengqian smiled angrily: "If you offend the prefect's mansion, I will ask for guilt and tell him that we have split up, and this matter is none of your business." You can rest assured that it will not affect you. ”
was forced by Xia Qi a few times, and without the old lady's support, Xia Zhengshen no longer dared to put the score of the big house, and only persuaded Xia Zhengqian in a gentle voice: "Oh, what kind of stubbornness do you say?" Isn't it just a cure? Those who are cured and those who cannot be cured are all personal favors, right? Why don't you even show your face and offend people directly? ”
Xia Zhengqian is a person, and he can't see others treating him well. If you treat him a little better, he won't be able to harden his heart. What's more, what Xia Zhengshen said is quite reasonable.
But Xia Jin lost his temper first, Lu Liang said the truth later, and the two strikes had already broken his heart to have all four corners.
"Brother Qi is now a showman, and he will have to take the examination for people and jinshi in the future. Mr. Cui said that if he practices medicine again, the examiner will say the last sentence in the future: Since he has spent all his energy on practicing medicine, then he will go directly to Langzhong. In this way, won't my brother's Qi brother's future be ruined? This precedent must never be opened. ”
Xia Zhengshen, the owner of a small medical hall, how does he know who Mr. Cui is? When he heard this, he didn't think about it. Before he could say anything more, he saw Xia Jin come in from outside, saluted him, and said, "Uncle, do you know that you were used as a gun?" Think about it, when I heard that my brother went to Mr. Cui's house, why didn't the Zhu family dare to force it, and still say it so politely? That's because they didn't dare to offend Mr. Cui. If you don't believe it, go out and ask who Mr. Cui is. ”
Xia Zhengshen turned his face: "I talk to your father, do you have a beak?" Your mother doesn't dare to speak, what are you talking about? Get out! ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhengqian suddenly turned his face: "My family's affairs, why can't my daughter intervene?" Although you are an uncle, you have broken up, and you don't have to worry about my family's affairs anymore. "It's also called Uncle Luo," Luo Da sent off. Then he brought tea.
Xia Zheng was so angry that his nose smoked, and he flicked his sleeves and left.
Although he left, he was not reconciled, so he went out to inquire again, and learned about Mr. Cui's reputation and several students of him as a high-ranking official, so he closed his mouth in a daze, and did not dare to come to Sanfang to make noise again.
And Xia Zhengqian waited left and right at home, and he didn't see Zhu Fu send people to persecute again, so he turned his worries into joy, and believed what Xia Qi and Xia Jin said.
For this reason, he sighed to Shu's family: "The child is older, and his ability and knowledge are much higher than mine, so we don't have to worry about the affairs of this family in the future." ”
Shu's heart is also frowned.
After solving this matter, Dong Yan passed the word again, saying that Bai Cong was excellent. Although he is from the Bai family, he is not arrogant, he is lively, and he is an ideal candidate. Xia Jin decided to open on a later date.
On that day, at the Cen family restaurant, the lights were colorful, the gongs and drums were beaten, and the firecrackers rang out in unison. In terms of marketing methods, Dong Yan did his best to pass on Xia Jin's personal heritage, and without her mentioning more, he distributed leaflets, and three days ago, he discounted the price, hung the plaque written by Lin Tongzhi, and put the word in a conspicuous place. In addition, everyone knows that even if this restaurant is not opened by the Cen family, it also has the shares of the Cen family, and there is Bai Cong at the door to respond, and they all came to cheer. All of a sudden, the crowd was in full swing. (To be continued)
