Chapter 083: Persimmon Vinegar and Vine Cake (3)
"Gao Zhan, we also know each other, and I helped your brother anyway, why don't you talk about it at all." Bai Li stood on tiptoe and shouted at Gao Zhan's back: "It's okay if you don't let me in, please tell you Lord Xin, so that he doesn't be embarrassed as a white liar." He's just a fortune teller who sets up a stall, and he hasn't done anything unethical, so you caught him early in the morning for something. ”
"No noise is allowed at the entrance of the government!" Gao Zhan turned around and said to the officer who guarded the door, "If she shouts loudly again, she will be locked up in prison." ”
"Okay, you're Gao Zhan, you wait and see." Bai Li has no taboos, but he is unwilling to go to prison. Thinking that people were under the eaves, I had to bow my head, so I could only silence and wait at the door of the government office.
In the backyard of the mansion, Xin Mingjie was waiting anxiously: "Fu Bo, do you think he can do it?" ”
The person Xin Mingjie was talking about was Bai Ze, who had just been brought back by the officials.
"Sir, don't worry, although this Mr. Bai is young, he has great ability."
"But he ...... Isn't he a fortune teller? Su Su is sick, and it's not anything else, what are you asking me to do with this fortune teller? Xin Mingjie slapped his hands: "I'm also confused, I didn't invite so many doctors in the city, but I invited him." ”
"Lord Xin is right to invite me here." Bai Ze opened the door from the inside: "Miss Xin's illness, I am the only one in the entire Huaxi Town who can treat it." ”
"Do you know what disease my daughter has?" Xin Mingjie hurriedly asked.
"Miss Xin is not sick, she is just entangled in dirt." Bai Ze said, and handed the small incense burner in his hand to Xin Mingjie: "What kind of incense is dyed in this stove, do you know?" ”
"Tranquility incense is a tranquility incense prepared by Dr. Lu for Su Su."
"Lord Xin is wrong, this is not a soothing incense, but a requiem incense." Bai Ze opened the incense burner and poured all the furnaces inside to the ground: "This is a soothing incense, but there are two more things in this soothing incense, one is this, and the other is this." ”
Xin Mingjie looked at Bai Ze's fingers, and there was nothing on his fingers except incense ash.
"Isn't there only incense ash in your hand, sir? What difference could this incense ash pour from a stove make? ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot Lord Xin, you can't tell the difference." Bai Ze slapped off the incense ash from his hand and handed the incense burner back to Xin Mingjie's hand: "Doctor Lu added a small section of a woman's bones and the powder of sun-dried wisteria flowers to this tranquilizing incense. ”
"Why?" Xin Mingjie was completely confused.
"I know about this wisteria flower, because my daughter likes it so much, I also planted one for her in the back garden. This wisteria flower should be a medicine. ”
"Lord Xin is right, this wisteria flower can indeed be used in medicine, and has the effects of detoxification, antiemetic and diarrhea. Wisteria bark can also be used as medicine, which has the effects of killing insects, relieving pain, and dispelling wind and channeling. In addition, this wisteria flower can also be eaten as food, and if it is in a famine year, it can also top the grain, but the wisteria flower that Dr. Lu added to the incense is not an ordinary wisteria flower. ”
"Sir, do you have to go around like this?" Xin Mingjie frowned when he heard this: "Just tell me, what kind of disease does the little girl have, and why does Dr. Lu use this requiem incense for the little girl?" Is he saving the little girl, or is he harming the little girl? ”
After Bai Ze was silent for a while, he looked up at Xin Mingjie's eyes: "Dare to ask Lord Xin, can there be a marriage match before Mrs. Xin?" ”
Xin Mingjie was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Is this related to the little girl's condition?" ”
"Yes, please tell me truthfully."
"Speaking of which, it was a long time ago, and when Mr. asked, I didn't know how to talk about it." Xin Mingjie sighed: "My Xin family ancestor has had a total of seven officials, the highest official to the fourth grade, but when it comes to my father's generation, our Xin family is already in the middle of the family, barely satisfied." My father left early, leaving me to live with my mother, orphans, and widows. Although my mother has never studied, she thinks that I can be like my ancestors, through reading to gain fame, and then go all the way to glorify the lintel of our Xin family. ”
"Lord Xin has not lived up to Mrs. Xin's expectations."
"Yes, but I try my best, but I can only be a county official who is not too confused." Xin Mingjie smiled bitterly: "I met Su Su and her mother on my way to Beijing to catch the exam. My family is not well-off, but my mother sold everything that could be sold in the family, so she scraped together enough money for me to go to Beijing to take the exam. In order to save money, I slept in the open air, tightened my clothes and food, and fell ill before I arrived in the capital. Su Su's mother is a medicine woman, and she met me when she went into the mountains to collect medicine. When she saw that I was sick, she took me home and took care of me. As the days went by, I had feelings for her. After I recovered, I promised her for life that I would go back and marry her, whether I was in high school or not. ”
"Master Xin is in high school, Mrs. Xin should be very happy."
"She was happy, but not that I could win the top prize, but that I was willing to keep my promise and come back to marry her. She said that her biggest fear was that I would forget about her when I arrived in the capital. I, Xin Mingjie, am such a villain. I told her to wait patiently for a few more days, and I would go back to my hometown to pick up my mother, and then marry her in style. Who would have thought that my mother would make me break my mind, saying that she had already made a marriage contract for me when I was a child. The other party is also the queen of the official eunuch. When I learned that I was in high school, I took the initiative to come to the door with the marriage letter, asking our Xin family to fulfill the marriage contract, and asking me to marry the wife I had never met. ”
"You promised?" Bai Ze asked.
"I don't."
"Why don't you say yes?"
"First, because I already have Su Su and her mother in my heart, I can't pretend to be another girl, and reluctantly marrying her will only make her feel more wronged. Second, if I marry someone else according to the marriage contract, I will fail Su Su's mother, and I will be a complete negative man, a white-eyed wolf. Third, I especially hate the kind of villain behavior that dislikes the poor and loves the rich. Since I had a marriage contract, why didn't I come to the door after my family was downtrodden and asked me to marry their daughter, but it was only after I was in high school that I remembered that I was their future son-in-law. They are not interested in me Xin Mingjie, but the future Xin Da. Compared with the two, I naturally still have to choose to be with Su Su's mother. ”
"So, you broke the engagement."
"If it is an inappropriate marriage contract, it must be returned. dragging it will only affect other girls. After Xin Mingjie finished speaking, he asked Bai Zedao: "Could it be that I quit the marriage and quit the problem?" ”
"Do you know who the girl you are marrying is here? What was the fate after being divorced? ”
"I don't know! Because I decided to withdraw from the marriage, I didn't inquire. Xin Mingjie's originally anxious expression showed a hint of panic: "Isn't there something wrong with that girl?" ”
"Her maiden name is Wang, her maiden name is Purple Kite, and the small character Kite. Is Lord Xin familiar with this name? ”
