Chapter 46: Substitutions
Maybe it was because of Luo San's illness that Xia Chan had scruples about Xia Zhengqian's father and son, or maybe Xia Zhengshen warned him, and in the next half a day, he didn't have any demons.
When they returned to Xia Mansion in the evening, Xia Zhengqian and Xia Jin had just arrived at the gate of the courtyard before they had time to change their clothes, and they heard that someone had come to report that the old lady was invited.
"The old lady invited the third master and the sixth young master to the upper room to talk." These are the words of the mother-in-law in the old lady's courtyard.
Xia Jin couldn't do it, so he had to follow Xia Zhengqian to the upper room.
"The third child is here, hurry up and sit down." The old lady showed a rare smile to Xia Zhengqian.
Her smile didn't make Xia Zhengqian feel mother's love and concern, but gave birth to panic: "My son doesn't dare." The mother invited her son over, but I don't know what to order? ”
Seeing that Xia Zhengqian did not follow his own wishes to stage a scene of deep love between mother and son, the old lady suddenly became impatient, and said in a very angry tone: "If you are told to sit, you can sit, what are you talking about?" ”
Xia Zhengqian breathed a sigh of relief and found a chair to sit down.
For this old lady's temperament, Xia Jin knows too well. She knew that if she sat down with her, the old lady would immediately point at her and scold her, saying that she was uneducated, did not know how to be inferior or anything. Naturally, she didn't go to ask for that scolding, and stood behind Xia Zhengqian.
The old lady glanced at her and saw that there was nothing to find fault with, so she said to Xia Zhengqian: "Today, Lord Luo's mansion invited you to see the third son?" ”
"Exactly." Xia Zhengqian replied.
"How sure are you?"
Xia Zhengqian raised his head, glanced at Xia Zhengshen, and replied: "My son's medical skills are not perfect, and he is not sure about Luo Sangongzi's illness. ”
"If you don't have good medical skills, study hard, don't hide in the house with your wife and children all day long. Look at your father, when don't you hold a medical book in your hand and think about medical skills in your head? Look at you again, what do you look like......"
The old lady counted them again.
Xia Jin was speechless when he heard this.
The three brothers of the Xia family, the eldest Xia Zhengshen, went to the hospital on time in the morning, and then went home on time in the evening. Not to mention the second Xia Zhenghao, go to the provincial capital today to participate in the poetry meeting, tomorrow which talented master in the city will please go to see the flowers, and the day after tomorrow he will eat and drink and have fun in the house with a few concubines, and there will be nothing to do.
Only Xia Zhengqian, who goes in and out with Xia Zhengshen every day, is so busy in the hospital that he doesn't even have time to drink water and go to the toilet, needless to say. In the middle of the night, a patient came to invite, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, it was a cold day. When you go out for a medical visit, sometimes you have to go home late at night for a day. There are not many times a year when I can go home on time like today.
In this way, when it came to the old lady's mouth, he became the most idle person, and he didn't do anything all day long, just playing with his wife and children at home!
It's a big joke to say.
However, as soon as he remembered that his father was not the son of this woman, but was born to her rival, Xia Jin was relieved.
Xia Zhengqian thought that he was used to being scolded, and the old lady was scolding him, so he listened with a wooden face, and replied from time to time: "What my mother taught me is that my son knows that he is wrong." ”
After scolding, seeing that Xia Zhengqian's attitude was quite deferential, and the Luo family's illness still had to be treated by him, the old lady finally took a breath, stopped scolding, and said: "Anyway, Luo Gongzi's illness must be cured." Your second brother is idle at home now, and he has no livelihood. You cure Master Luo's illness, and when the time comes, talk to Lord Luo, and ask for an errand for your second brother in the yamen. His requirements are not high, and he can be a staff member or master for the prefect. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Zhengqian suddenly smiled bitterly.
Although this Linjiang City is located a little further south of the Yangtze River, it can also be regarded as Zhong Lingyuxiu, and the talents are doubled. In this place, Xiucai grabbed a lot of money, and if he wanted to be a private school teacher, the parents of the children still had to ponder whether you were good at studying in the school entrance examination. As for lifting people, there are not a few. But now, the old lady's mouth is to be a staff member and master for the prefect, this idiot is talking about a dream.
However, Xia Zhengqian has countless experiences and knows that he can't get along with the old lady, and if he reasoned with her at this time, he would only be scolded for splitting his head and covering his face. He had no choice but to answer, "My son will do his best." ”
Although the old lady likes to mess around, she also knows that even if Xia Zhengqian makes a promise, if the medical skills are not good, it will be in vain. Luo Gongzi's illness will not be cured because of this.
She waved her hand and said impatiently, "Okay, so be it." After speaking, he said sharply, "I must treat it well, if I let me know that you have a little strength, I will not spare you!" ”
"Yes, yes." Xia Zhengqian smiled bitterly and stood up and arched his hand, turned around and was about to go out, Xia Qi naturally followed behind and walked out.
When the old lady saw Xia Jin, she seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shouted, "That's right, the third child." ”
Xia Zhengqian had to turn around: "Mother, what's the matter?" ”
"Ming'er goes to Luofu, you take Brother Chan there. That's your own nephew, so I'd better bring some of it. Brother Qi will have a chance in the future, and this time he won't go to Luofu. ”
Xia Zhengqian stood there and didn't speak for a long time, but the palm under his sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist. After a long time, he spoke up: "Mother, it's not that I don't want to do this, but that Luo Sangongzi designated Brother Qi to go over." Why don't you ask the eldest brother, when the people from Luofu came, was it Brother Qi by name? ”
The old lady snorted coldly: "The third son of Na Luo has been sick for a while, and he hasn't spoken to his peers for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will be a little fresh when he sees Brother Qi, so he is called by name." If you take Brother Chan there, he will recognize Brother Zen, so he will naturally call Brother Zen specially. ”
Xia Zhengqian wanted to say more, but Xia Jin pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Dad, just do as the old lady instructs." ”
Xia Zhengqian looked at her, then at the old lady, sighed, and responded, "Yes, my son knows." ”
The old lady waved her hand with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go." ”
As soon as Xia Zhengqian's father and daughter came down the steps, they heard the old lady shouting in the house: "Hurry up and call them over for dinner." For the sake of those two evil animals, I have delayed this old time for half a day, and my good grandson must have been hungry for a long time. ”
Xia Zhengqian let out a deep breath of depression in his heart and walked out of the courtyard quickly.
After walking out of the hospital for a while, seeing that he was far away from the room, he comforted Xia Jin and said: "When I go to Luofu tomorrow, I will mention it to Mrs. Luo in private, when people come to the hospital, they only call you to go, and if you don't mention Brother Chan, they will naturally be unable to do it." ”
"It's fine." Xia Jin smiled and said, "Luo Gongzi's illness, just defend the side, it doesn't matter if I don't go, you can take the fourth brother there." ”
Xia Zhengqian looked at Xia Jin's really indifferent appearance, not to say angry words, he couldn't help but feel moved and guilty in his heart, and shouted: "Sister Jin......"
"Daddy!" Xia Jin hurriedly interrupted him and looked left and right.
Xia Zhengqian was taken aback, knowing that he had lost his words, he hurriedly looked around. Seeing that there was no one nearby, I was relieved.
"Daddy, please be cautious in the future." Xia Jin is colorful.
If the people of Xia Mansion knew that she was dressed as a man, something might happen. She is not afraid of making trouble, she is only worried about disrupting the original plan.
"Don't worry, not next time." Xia Zhengqian felt even more guilty.
On the second day, when the people from Luofu came to call, Xia Zhengqian really took Xia Chan to Luofu.
Half an hour later, he came back, called Xia Jin aside alone, and said, "Luo Gongzi asked why you didn't go, I said that it was the old lady at home, and I wanted Brother Chan to see the world." ”
Xia Jin raised his head and looked at Xia Zhengqian.
She didn't expect Xia Zhengqian to answer Luo Qian like this.
Xia Zhengqian is humble, but he never says embarrassing things or does uncomfortable things. What's more, this matter also involves an old lady!
Seeing Xia Jin's surprised look, Xia Zhengqian explained: "If you don't say that, the Luo family still thinks that we are prevaricating them and making fun of Luo Gongzi's body." There has already been such a misunderstanding, and I don't want them to misunderstand again. ”
He sighed, looked away, and his voice became low: "Anyway, please go, the Luo family must have investigated you and me." The Xia family's affairs can't be hidden from them. ”
Xia Jin blinked, didn't comment on this matter, and asked, "What did the Luo family say?" ”
Mrs. Luo became angry on the spot and said that she would send her mother-in-law to reprimand the old lady, but she was stopped by Mr. Luo. Luo Gongzi asked me what your attitude is, and said that if you want Zhengda Guangming to treat him, he will fully support you. When he is cured, you will tell others that he was cured by you. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Xia Jin's mouth curled slightly.
Luo Qian supports her so strongly, it seems that he is still very willing to cooperate with her. That's fine.
Xia Zhengqian glanced at Xia Jin and continued: "Young Master Luo said that his illness still has to be treated by you. So let me tell you to wait at the corner of the alley, and he will send someone to pick you up there. As he spoke, his face was not very good-looking.
Listening to Luo Qian's meaning, he wanted to send someone to take Xia Jin over to him in private. But Xia Jin is a girl, and now it's so late, so she goes to Luofu alone, and if someone knows about it, her reputation will be ruined.
He couldn't afford to cure Luo Sangongzi's illness, and his wife still had nothing to do, Xia Jin did this to make up for his and the old lady's mistakes. Not only is there nothing wrong with her daughter, but she is also very wronged in her heart. So he couldn't stop it, and he couldn't say anything.
It's so depressing!
Xia Jin looked at the sky and found that it was already dark, and said, "Then I'll go change my clothes." ”
