Chapter 1: The Shen Family

"Ahem", "ahem", ......

Shen Luo suddenly woke up from the bed in a subconscious cough, hurriedly opened his mouth and took a few deep breaths, then quickly took out a small bottle from under the pillow, poured out a yellow ball the size of a bean and swallowed it.

He sat still on the bed for a while, feeling the tightness in his chest and the cold gradually subside, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

After Shen Luo smiled bitterly, he slowly put on the neatly folded clothes on the chair next to him, and then habitually glanced at the desk in the corner.

On the table sat a pale yellow and worn-out book, with five neat black characters written on the surface.

Shen Luo frowned, then withdrew his gaze, slowly opened the door and walked out of the room.

"The eldest prince. ”

Outside the door, there was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy in Tsing Yi guarding there, and when he saw Shen Luo coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

In the distance, there are faintly large and continuous groups of houses, red tiles and white walls, and there are forty or fifty houses of various sizes combined.

"How many times did I cough last night?, are there any other movements?" Shen Luo glanced at the little guy and asked lightly.

"Eldest son, you coughed thirteen times last night, and there was no other sound. The little guy had some dark bags under his eyes, and replied, vaguely afraid of Shen Luo.

Shen Luo nodded, didn't ask anything more, and walked straight past the little guy.

The young man in Tsing Yi followed closely with interest.

After passing through several long corridors and a garden covering an acre of land, Shen Luo walked to a building that looked like a main hall.

When the two servant women standing in front of the hall saw it, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and their expressions were also quite afraid of Shen Luo.

"Luo'er, you're here. How was your rest last night? Come in and have some ginseng soup. I asked someone to cook it for you. A man's concerned voice came from the hall.

"With Lao's father worried, the child rested well last night. Shen Luo's expression moved slightly, and he replied, and walked into the hall.

I saw that there was a round table full of delicacies in the hall, and several people were sitting around, and on the main seat was a middle-aged man in his forties, with slightly gray hair, and a little premature.

The middle-aged man was Shen Yuange, Shen Luo's father, and he looked at Shen Luo happily at the moment.

"Brother Luo is up!Xiao Cui, hurry up and serve the soup, didn't you hear the master's instructions?" A beautiful woman with beaded hair next to Shen Yuange barely showed a smile when she saw Shen Luo.

"There is Lao Erniang. ”

Shen Luo nodded lukewarmly at the woman.

"Big brother. ”

"Big brother. ”

A teenager and a young girl next to the woman also got up and said hello to Shen Luo, the two were about fourteen or fifteen years old, and their faces were three or four points similar to Shen Luo, they were his half-siblings, one was called Shen Ci, and the other was Shen Mumu.

The two were born to one child, but they reacted very differently to Shen Luo at the moment.

The younger brother Shen Ci looked at Shen Luo's gaze and dodged, and his expression was somewhat similar to that of those subordinates.

And after saying hello, her sister Shen Mumu looked like a curious baby who was restless, as if she wanted to ask Shen Luo, the eldest brother, something, but looked at Shen Yuange on the side and hesitated.

Shen Luo sat down, drank the ginseng soup held by the maid, and after eating a few more bites of food, he frowned, put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

"Luo'er, since you're done eating, come with me to the study, I have some business matters to explain to you. Seeing this, Shen Yuange was even more worried, but said so in his mouth.

Shen Luo nodded, said goodbye to the woman lightly, and followed Shen Yuange out of the hall.

When the woman saw this, her face was a little ugly.

Shen Ci also couldn't hide the envy on his face, but Shen Mumu pursed her red mouth, very dissatisfied with her father and Shen Luo, the "big brother", who finished eating and leaving so quickly.

......

"Luo'er, was it really okay last night?" As soon as Shen Yuan sat down in the study, he asked Shen Luo with concern.

"Father rest assured, there was really nothing wrong last night, and there was no more 'thing', but my body is even worse, even if there is the 'Jin Xiangyu' prepared by me personally, I'm afraid it won't last for a few years, this body is not at all ordinary medicine stones can be conditioned. Shen Luo shook his head and replied.

"Hey, Luo'er, you are really sick and calamitous, originally your mother had fetal gas when she was pregnant with you, which made you weak and sick since you were a child, but last year you encountered evil spirits, which is why you fell into such a serious disease. If there is really a case, how can I go to meet your mother under the nine springs. At the beginning, I personally promised your mother that I would take good care of you. Shen Yuange let out a long sigh, a trace of bitterness appeared on his face.

"Father has to think about the good. If I hadn't been a doctor for a long time and prepared several pills such as 'Jin Xiangyu', how could the Shen family have created such a big family business. Our family is also a blessing in disguise. Shen Luo said with a smile.

"That's right, now when it comes to the Shen Family Medical Center and the Shen Family Pharmacy in Chunhua County, no one knows who doesn't know. Even Lord Wang of the county order now takes a look at our Shen family. When Shen Yuange heard this, his spirit lifted slightly.

"That is also my father's ability to be a man, and he gave the golden jade to Lord Wang a bottle, which cured his only son's tuberculosis. Otherwise, with the current wealth of our Shen family, we would have already encountered some trouble. Shen Luo quietly flattered his father.

"Haha, that's because you and I are father and son working together to create such a big family business for the Shen family. It's a pity that you don't want to be famous, so I have to attribute the preparation of these pills to the ancient recipe that I accidentally discovered. Only you and I know about this matter, and I haven't even revealed half of your second mother and younger siblings. Therefore, if Erniang usually has anything to offend, I still hope that for the sake of the father's face, don't take it too seriously. After all, your second mother is from a small family, with long hair and short knowledge. Shen Yuange first laughed happily, then remembered something, and said hesitantly.

"Father, how could I take the matter of Erniang to heart! Besides, if I am gone, the Shen family still needs the second brother to support me. My greatest wish now is to be able to exorcise evil spirits from my body. Otherwise, I don't have to wait for a few years, and I'm afraid I'll die. Shen Luo was silent for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"When you say that, I'm relieved. Anyway, home and everything is prosperous. How are you doing now, I remember your last seizure was seven days ago. Shen Yuange's expression was relieved when he heard this, but he immediately asked worriedly.

"Yes, the last time I had a seizure, I almost strangled that Wong Tai Sin to death. Last year, the Golden Light Monk, who claimed to be a golden-bodied Arhat, was also beaten half to death after I had a seizure. They don't have any spells at all, they're all charlatans. Shen Luo replied hatefully, his face gloomy.

"But Wong Tai Sin and Monk Jinguang are already the most famous exorcists in the nearby counties. Others are even more swaggering. Otherwise, send someone to the state city for my father to look for it. Shen Yuange was also a little helpless when he heard this.

"No, I don't. The state city is too far away, and second, how to find an exorcist if you are not familiar with the place. Even if they find it, there is a good chance that they are liars of Wong Tai Sin and his ilk. I'm getting faster and faster now and can't wait this long. Shen Luo refused without hesitation.

"That Luo'er means ......" Shen Yuange, who knew his eldest son well, was a little surprised.
