Chapter XVII

When Xia Jin arrived at the main courtyard, Xia Zhengqian and Shu had just returned from Xia Qi.

"How's my brother?" Xia Jin asked.

"It's okay, my spirit is very good, I still lie on the bed and read a book for half an hour after applying the medicine, and I just ate and fell asleep." Xia Zhengqian said with a smile.

Xia Jin bowed: "That's good." He found a chair and sat down.

Looking at Xia Jin with a cold gaze and an indifferent expression in front of him, and then thinking about her expression today, Xia Zhengqian didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Of course, he would not suspect that his daughter had been replaced, but he felt that the last illness had stimulated the child too much, and it made her temperament change greatly.

Because of this, he felt extremely guilty about his daughter.

"I just went to ask about what your grandmother said about today. It was the government Ya Luo who asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, and he said goodbye to his third son. He spoke.

Xia Jin frowned slightly.

She knows that this official is the official position of the government government in charge of the criminal name and praise the code, and in this place of Linjiang City, the position of the official is Zhengqipin, which is equivalent to the director of the public security bureau of a middle-level city in modern times.

Although this official position is not worth anything in her eyes, in terms of the status of the Xia family, even a head catcher is arrogant in front of Xia Zhengshen and others, and the official is even more of a big man they can not reach.

So, why did such a big man come to the Xia family for his son? And the object is still her, a sickly and weak yellow-haired little girl.

She didn't ask, though. She knew that Xia Zhengqian would definitely inquire about the reason.

Seeing that Xia Jin heard such a family affair, he only frowned slightly, neither showed surprise, shyness or other expressions, nor did he ask, only looked at himself quietly with dark eyes, waiting for his next words, Xia Zhengqian felt that he couldn't understand this daughter more and more.

He paused, and then continued: "I think you also know that although I often go in and out of the mansions of the eunuchs, I only treat people, and my status is not much higher than that of the subordinates in their mansions. With our family's background, it is impossible to marry with the eunuchs. Therefore, it is very strange that Luo Tuiguan's family suddenly wants to discuss marriage with our family. I went to ask, and it turned out that although the third son of his family was a concubine, he was now seriously ill, and he couldn't be cured even if he invited Lang Zhonglai from the capital. The Luo family was helpless, so they wanted to give him joy. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xia Jin, but saw that Xia Jin only nodded slightly, and the whole person was still as calm as water.

But Shu Shi became excited, and shouted with a crying voice: "How can she be like this, how can she be like this?!" They obviously told her that this family business was for Chongxi, but she still agreed. Sister Jin is no longer favored, and she is also her own granddaughter, why is she willing to let her children suffer for a lifetime? ”

Although she didn't know what to say, everyone knew that the "she" in her mouth referred to Mrs. Xia.

Xia Jin looked at Xia Zhengqian and asked calmly, "What is Daddy going to do?" ”

Xia Zhengqian looked at her deeply and said, "Your mother and I naturally don't approve of this family business. But your uncle persuaded me, saying that this is related to the happiness of your life, let me tell you the pros and cons of this matter, and let you make up your own mind. ”

Xia Jin raised his eyebrows: "You say." ”

"Your uncle said, if it weren't for the fact that the third son of Luofu was sick and needed to rejoice, it would be impossible for our family to climb such a family affair. You must know that the third prince is not only the only sister-in-law in Luofu, but also a very smart, handsome and handsome person, very motivated, very good at reading, and was admitted to Xiucai last year. So, this rush is an opportunity. Once Chongxi succeeds and the third son's condition improves, then you are the third young grandmother from the official mansion, who eats and drinks spicy food and spicy food all her life, wears gold and silver, and enjoys all the glory and wealth. If the third prince is admitted to the examination in the future, you will be a jinshi, and you will be an official wife. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Xia Jin and did not say any more.

Xia Jin still looked calm, and asked again: "Why our family?" For a family like Luo Tuiguan, if you want to come to a family with equal or similar status, it is not difficult to find a concubine or even a concubine to be happy, right? ”

Xia Zhengqian shook his head: "His family asked the Taoist priest to calculate, if it is a person born in the dragon and the moon, the scope will be greatly reduced." Moreover, because the third son of Luo is a concubine, Mrs. Luo is unwilling to marry him a concubine. ”

As he spoke, he smiled sadly: "Speaking of which, the Luo family originally came for your fourth sister this time, but the old lady said that when she was a child, she found someone to tell your fourth sister's fortune, and it was not appropriate to marry before the age of sixteen, so the Luo family set their sights on you." ”

The "four sisters you" that Xia Zhengqian said was Xia Wei who used a four-legged snake to scare her with Xia Qi and others. She was also born in the lunar month of the Year of the Dragon, only ten days older than Xia Jin.

Xia Jin's mind came up with the scene of meeting the eldest lady and Mrs. Xue in the small garden that day.

She smiled indifferently: "I see." She raised her eyes and looked at Xia Zhengqian, "Trouble my father to tell my grandmother and uncle, I don't have the fortune to be an official wife, I don't agree with this family business." ”

Xia Zhengqian patted the armrest approvingly: "This is my good daughter." ”

"But will the old lady and the eldest brother listen to you?" Shu Shi has been worried.

Although Xia Zhengshen said that to Xia Zhengqian, she didn't take it seriously. With such a big benefit, she didn't believe that Xia Zhengshen would not be tempted. When he said those words to Xia Zhengqian, it was just a roundabout means, thinking that Xia Zhengqian and Xia Jin would take risks for the so-called "opportunity" and agree to this family business. At this time, they didn't agree here, and they were afraid that they were going to come hard, and they would definitely use her, Xia Zhengqian, and Xia Qi as a threat, and force Xia Jin to accept this family business.

"It's okay if you don't agree, I won't agree to this family business anyway." Xia Zhengqian said.

Seeing the firmness in Xia Zhengqian's eyes, Xia Jin's heart warmed. After chatting with Shu Shi in the ancestral hall, knowing the code of conduct of this era and Xia Zhengqian's situation, she knew how difficult it was for Xia Zhengqian to do this.

Therefore, she reminded herself that when talking to Xia Zhengqian and Shu, don't rely on temperament. For them, she has to be more patient and gentle, just like she treats Xia Qi.

She thought for a while and asked, "Luo Gongzi's illness, have you seen it, Daddy?" ”

Xia Zhengqian was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No." Their family has always invited Ding Langzhong from Huichun Hall to see a doctor. Later, Ding Langzhong was not well treated, so he went directly to the provincial capital and the capital to invite Lang Zhong. ”

He stared at Xia Jin's eyes and said tentatively, "Don't you want me to go and see Luo Gongzi's illness before making a decision?" ”

Xia Jin shook his head: "If you want to not agree to this family business, the best way is that your father can cure Luo Sangongzi's illness." As long as his illness is cured, he naturally does not need to be happy, and he will never marry people like us, and the wishful thinking of his grandmother and uncle will naturally fail. Moreover, through this incident, can my father also have a good relationship with Luo Tuiguan.? ”

Xia Zhengqian listened to this childish words and smiled bitterly: "Sister Jin, you look up to your father too much." Na Ding Langzhong is almost old, not only the famous doctor in Linjiang City, but also some famous in the entire Zhejiang Province, and there are people in the capital who came to see him a while ago. Although I am famous, I am nothing in front of him. He can't cure the disease, how dare I reach out? ”

"Not necessarily." Xia Jin said, "There is a specialization in the art industry, and everyone has their own unique skills." Although Nading Lang is famous, he is not good at any disease. Maybe he can't cure the disease, but can you cure it, Daddy? ”

"This ......" Xia Zhengqian was really moved by Xia Jin's words. As a man with good medical skills, the spirit of study is the most lacking. When encountering incurable diseases, it is better to understand and understand if you can't cure them. What's more, for the sake of his daughter, he should take a risk.
