"Girl...... How did you become like this? Old man Bai looked at the strange and familiar person in front of him, and only felt a heartache. Whether it is the rumored Miss Su family. Or when I just met you. You're not a man who is afraid of power, why are you so submissive now? ”

"I'm a submissive person, but ......" she lowered her head, stroked the back of her hand, and smiled bitterly: "This black skin is my protective color, and it is also the mask that I don't meet with my acquaintances." Ah, wearing a mask, others can't see the original me, so I'm not afraid. But once I did, I was just a shrunken turtle. ”

Sheng Lingzhi's sentimental appearance, don't say that the old man Bai was confused, even in a dark corner, Chu Chuan's hand was unconsciously clenched.

It's just that this is Sheng Lingzhi, which has been locked in the small yard of the back house for many years.

Be cautious and have to force yourself to survive.

And now, she can't even offend the little landlord openly.

"Zhang's family?! A small landlord has nothing to fear. As he spoke, the old man took out a book: "Girl, this is about the pulse and acupoints of the human body, you take it, if you finish reading it in three days, I will find someone for you to try." ”

One second it was still talking about the Zhang family, and the next second the topic suddenly changed, Sheng Lingzhi was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Hmm!" Good. ”

"Girl, don't underestimate the doctor! This thing will be able to protect itself. ”

"Self-preservation?!" Sheng Lingzhi suddenly remembered what her adoptive mother had said.

'Yu'er, my mother originally wanted you to study medicine, but if you learn that thing, if you cure people one day, you can be sealed, and then you can come into contact with the palace, this thing will be easy to be used as a handle, and when the time comes, you will not succeed but harm you. Therefore, my mother retreated to the next best thing, and let you learn to eat and restrain each other to protect yourself, so as not to be calculated in the future. ’

But that's no longer the case.

At that time, it was the eldest lady of the Su family, if the people who knew how to heal were all high-ranking officials and nobles, now it is different, only those who know medical skills can have the opportunity to contact high-ranking officials and nobles.

She must know how to heal.

"Master! Today it is not that I was threatened by your words, but that Lingzhi was willing to apprentice. The reason why I hesitated before was that I didn't want to affect you, but you ...... Since you have chosen Lingzhi as your apprentice, you must have already understood Lingzhi, you are not afraid, and Lingzhi is even more fearless. ”

Although it is said that Shinong is industrial, but in the capital, which dignitary family does not have a family business?

And Sheng Lingzhi, who was a young man, was a well-organized person who took care of his family's business in the capital when he was a teenager, and he was such a famous person.

How can a submissive person do it?

Old man Bai smiled at this: "Yes, this is the legendary eldest lady!" Resolute, intelligent, quiet and pleasant. ”

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

Sheng Lingzhi put the book away, and the two left.

Sheng Lingzhi walked a few steps and suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Hearing his father go to the gate in a panic, Sheng Lingzhi hurriedly quickened his pace and went to the door as well.

As soon as she walked from behind the eaves to the front, she saw Zhang Gouzi in the yard with seven or eight fierce men holding wooden sticks in their hands, controlling her father, followed by her mother, Old Man Bai, Chu Chuan, Brothers, and then to herself.

Everyone was driven together like cattle and sheep, and Steward Zhang stepped forward with a smile: "Hahaha, Brother Dashan, that's the case, my lord lost something some time ago, unfortunately, some people said that they saw it in your house, so my lord ordered me to come and ask." But look, I haven't even asked, you just take your whole family with you. Blocked at the door. It's too difficult to speak, it's too difficult to communicate, there's no way, Lao Zhang, I can only find these things that belong to my master, I have wronged you to stand here for a while, and we will come out when we look for it. ”

"No way, we don't have anything else in our house." Li Dahua roared in panic.

"Don't be angry, sister-in-law." Steward Zhang still smiled, but his face changed greatly.

At a distance of more than one meter, his smile fell, and his eyes pointed at Li Dahua's nose fiercely and shouted: "Is there something wrong with your family?!"

Lao Tzu talks to you in a good voice, do you have to roar? What's the matter, you don't listen to others when they talk to you, you have to be yelled at you to speak, do you understand? Lao Tzu said one last time, do you understand that your family has my master's things? It's okay if you don't understand, just stand still and shut up, and don't make a noise to us. ”

Li Dahua was stunned for a moment, and Sheng Lingzhi hurriedly pulled her mother behind her.

It's just that his free hands unconsciously clenched his fists in his sleeves, and his nails dug into the flesh.

This is the Sheng family, even a small landlord's dog dares to bully at will.

Sheng Lingzhi thought, his hand gradually loosened, and he held the medical book in his sleeve.

Last time, I looked at the dosing of medicinal materials, and this time it was acupuncture and moxibustion acupoints, I hope that I have already achieved something, and it is best to teach the most annoying dog in front of me a lesson.

"Damn!"

Steward Zhang led the people out of the house.

"Li Dahua, Sheng Dashan, where did you hide my master's things? Why did I rummage through the cabinets and find this thing? ”

As Steward Zhang's voice fell, the subordinate behind him immediately slammed into the ground with a basin of things.

After seeing what was inside, Sheng Dashan couldn't help but laugh.

"I just found a few river mussels at home, if you want it, if it's your master's thing, then you can take it to this mountain, that river, everywhere." Go ahead and get it, no one can stop you anyway. ”

"Grand Mountain !!" Steward Zhang squinted at everyone and gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you one last chance." Where did you lose all my master's pearls? Let me tell you, if you don't hand over my master's pearls, don't blame us for not caring about them. The affection of the villagers. Report directly to the officer. If you let the people of the yamen search out of your house, then the family will be imprisoned. ”

Sheng Dashan smiled helplessly when he heard this, "You declare customs, anyway, whatever you say is what, if I don't have it at home, I don't have it, even if you don't dig three feet into the ground." ”

Sheng Dashan's words, Li Dahua trembled with fright.

Sheng Lingzhi was taken aback, could it be that there were really any pearls at home? Impossible. Or A-Niang, what is there to hide?

"Wait a minute." Sheng Lingzhi thought about it, and when he saw that Steward Zhang was about to take someone into the house to collect things, he immediately shouted.

"What's wrong?!" Steward Zhang came over with a smile, "Miss Su, oh, Miss Shanda, remember, where did your father and aunt hide the pearls?" Right? If you know where, you'd better say it now, otherwise, the consequences won't be borne by your grand girl. ”
