Wedding
The sun rises and sets.
Time, like the river rushing eastward, seems to be very fast at this moment. In the blink of an eye, another week has passed.
The abnormal climate near Lin'an City has also been improved with the help of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
However.
This is not a good thing for the residents in Lin'an City. Although Lin'an City is located in the south of the Song Dynasty, the cold wind blows in the damp and cold winter, and it is cold to the bone.
That's not a joke.
Even on the official road Qingyun Corridor, except for the messengers of the post station, the walking merchants, the escort agency, and the porters who are forced by life, there are few normal people who go to rest on the official road.
After all, it's so cold in winter.
What's more, it's under the lush green cypress?
However, the present is different from the past. In the ordinary Lin'an City, an exciting and happy event suddenly appeared.
That is, Xu Xian, the wedding day of Mr. Xu.
It must be said that if Xu Xian were put in modern times, he would at least be rated as one of the top ten young people in the province based on his character.
Of course, he might also be accused of practicing medicine without a license.
Years of free clinics are not something that normal people can stick to, and most of the precious herbs used are collected spontaneously in the wild.
Therefore, if it comes to money, Xu Xian really can't rank in Lin'an City.
But if it comes to reputation, in Lin'an City, if Xu Xian says he is second, no one dares to say he is first, because he is not only a free clinic, but also a very good doctor.
He cured many wealthy businessmen.
Therefore, even the county government has to give Xu Xian some face.
So much so that Li Gongfu, the head of the Lieutenant, sometimes doesn't quite know whether his position in the county government is earned by his own hard work or by his full efforts.
The warm winter sun had just risen high, and the bluestone alley, which was sparsely populated in the past, was already blocked by many carriages, and there were also residents of Lin'an City coming and going.
Moreover, when everyone came, their faces were full of smiles, and they all held some gifts in their hands.
"Congratulations, congratulations to Li Gongfu, you have finally escaped from the sea of suffering~" Someone passed by Li Gongfu standing at the door, handed the gift in his hand to the doorman, and bowed to congratulate.
"Congratulations, congratulations." Li Gongfu stood in front of the door, his face full of red, and his bright clothes were particularly conspicuous in the crowd, which was very different from his usual appearance.
It was like a different person.
Suddenly.
"Mr. Wang is here! I present Salvia miltiorrhiza, honeysuckle... fifty taels of silver..." A rather arrogant voice suddenly rang out in the crowd, causing everyone to stop and look back.
But after a while,
Then he saw a wealthy man, accompanied by two servants carrying gifts, getting off a carriage.
"It's Mr. Wang himself. Doctor Xu is so honored."
"Of course. You know, last spring, for some reason, Mr. Wang's beloved concubine contracted a strange disease. If it weren't for Doctor Xu's help, she would have died long ago."
"Great! Really great!"
"Of course, otherwise, how could so many people come to Doctor Xu's big day today? Look at how many carriages have already arrived around..."
"..."
For a moment, with the arrival of the wealthy man, a whisper suddenly sounded among the crowd.
Mr. Wang, whose original name was Wang Fugui, was a well-known wealthy businessman in Lin'an City. Apart from Mr. Shen, the owner of Fengle Building, Wang Fugui was the first.
"Mr. Shen has arrived, bringing a gift of a hundred-year-old ginseng... a Tianshan snow lotus..."
"Mr. Li has arrived, bringing a gift of a hundred-and-twenty-year-old Polygonum multiflorum and wild Ganoderma lucidum from the deep mountains..."
For a moment, the noisy bluestone alley was filled with a series of announcements, and the later it went, the louder the announcements became.
It was as if they were competing.
When Li Gongfu, who was standing at the gatehouse, heard these voices, his mouth was about to open with laughter, and he couldn't stop muttering "It's rich!"
It was indeed a good thing for Xu Xian to provide free medical treatment, and Li Gongfu was embarrassed to stop it.
But people have to consider the actual situation after all.
Especially for an adult, if Xu Xian continued to provide free medical treatment like this, regardless of whether he could afford to eat, even getting married would be a difficult thing.
Therefore, during these days, Li Gongfu was very worried about this matter.
After all, his late wife, Xu Xian's sister, had the greatest wish before her death, and the thing she kept talking about before her death was to be able to watch Xu Xian's wedding day.
Today, the merits are finally fulfilled.
Moreover, the many years of free clinics have finally received due rewards, which have far exceeded Li Gongfu's expectations, and his salary can finally be kept.
However.
Li Gongfu also knew that although the residents of Lin'an City also gave a lot of gifts, the real big part of them were the gifts from the wealthy businessmen.
But even so, according to Li Gongfu's understanding of his deceased wife's brother, most of the medicinal materials and money he received would be transferred to his free clinics.
This is a vicious circle.
Now Li Gongfu's only hope is that after his sister-in-law becomes pregnant with the old Xu family's child, Xu Xian can become more mature and considerate of his family.
No longer so willful.
However, Li Gongfu has not yet figured out what Bai Suzhen wants from Xu Xian?
Such a beautiful woman who knew how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting could actually like Xu Xian, an ordinary scholar who had no other outstanding points except for his medical skills.
However, he was too lazy to think about it.
Based on the degree of boredom between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen now, when Li Gongfu saw them, he felt so coquettish and so sweet that he lost his teeth. He even suspected that they were husband and wife a generation ago.
It's just that because he didn't drink enough Meng Po soup, the memory of his past life was not completely forgotten.
That's why this series of things happened. In less than two months, the two of them got married.
Apart from this, Li Gongfu could not think of any other reason to comfort himself.
Just as weird thoughts flashed through Li Gongfu's mind, time passed by bit by bit.
Almost all the guests who are supposed to come have arrived.
Those who were not supposed to come did not come.
As the saying goes, colleagues are enemies, especially Xu Xian's free medical practice, coupled with his superb medical skills, almost caused a devastating blow to the entire medical ecology of Lin'an City.
If it weren't for the constraints of materials and the endorsement of Li Gongfu and the county government, Xu Xian would have been beaten to death by people hired by the owners of the medical clinics.
Therefore, on Xu Xian's wedding day, it can be considered a blessing that the medical center owners did not come to cause trouble.
Sudden.
"Hey, brother-in-law, why hasn't your old friend come here yet? Didn't you invite him?" A crisp voice suddenly appeared in Li Gongfu's ear, and along with the voice, there was a touch of cyan clothes.
There is no doubt that this person is Xiao Qing.
"I don't know, but Xiao Shen has promised me, and he hasn't come yet. He should have his own evaluation." Li Gongfu said, suddenly as if he thought of something, and then immediately turned to look at Xiao Qing curiously:
"But, girl, why are you so concerned about that old friend of mine recently? It can't be..."
"Do you want to take care of it?" When Xiao Qing heard this, it was as if his little tail had been stepped on, and his fur immediately exploded, interrupting Li Gongfu's nonsense, and then walked back to the yard angrily:
"I'm going back to help first. You can greet the guests here."
"Okay." Li Gongfu nodded, as if he heard it.
However, when he looked at Xiao Qing's back, the curiosity in his heart not only did not dissipate, but became even stronger.
Although they had only been together for a few months, Li Gongfu had a deep understanding of the character of his younger sister.
Although the appearance is very stunning, it is completely like a rose with thorns.
Don’t let strangers in!
During the previous relationship, Shen Lian visited her many times, but Xiaoqing had never looked at the former directly, but today she suddenly cared about him so much.
Nine out of ten something is wrong.
"No way?" Li Gongfu suddenly slapped his forehead because he suddenly thought of something.
That was more than ten days ago, he learned from Butler Wei that Shen Lian had to go on a long trip for some reason, and it took about seven days before he came back.
And what about Xiaoqing?
It happened that there was something going on at home during that time, so I went back.
And just a few hours after Shen Lian returned to the city, when it was almost dark, Xiao Qing also returned to Lin'an City from home.
Both of them chose to travel on the same day, and they both stayed out for six or seven days, and they returned to Lin'an City almost in tandem.
skillful!
What a coincidence!
But where can such a coincidence happen in this world?
Therefore, in Li Gongfu's view, there is only one final answer, and there is no other possibility.
"However, if you think about it carefully, this kind of thing is normal." Li Gongfu held his chin and murmured softly. The more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that the answer was.
As the saying goes, a gentle lady is a good gentleman.
And vice versa.
As for Shen Lian, he is eight feet tall, has a tough appearance, and is young. Not long after he was crowned, he has already cultivated to the innate realm, and his family still has a fortune.
But he never looks down at people like those wealthy businessmen.
What girl wouldn't be tempted by such a man after getting to know him? If Li Gongfu wanted to change gender, he could not guarantee that he would not be tempted by Shen Lian.
Moreover, thinking of this, Li Gongfu also had a new understanding of Xiao Qing's behavior when he saw Shen Lian before.
Does that mean you don't want to see Shen Lian?
No! Not at all!
Just pure shyness.
Yes, just shy.
Otherwise, if Xiao Qing really disliked Shen Lian, based on Li Gongfu's understanding of Xiao Qing's character, he knew that Xiao Qing would have started chasing people away.
Where would you go out of your way to hide?
"It seems that if I have time, I have to talk to Xiao Shen about this matter. If this matter can really come true, it will be considered an opportunity." Li Gongfu slapped his palm and remembered the matter in his heart. .
It's not that he is coveting Shen Lian's wealth, but he is sincerely doing good for Xiao Qing.
Xiaoqing is a person with a sharp mouth and a soft heart.
As an elder, Li Gongfu has already seen Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi getting married. Naturally, he hopes that this quirky Xiao Qing will marry into a good family.
You won’t suffer a lifetime of hardship in the future.
But generally speaking it's unlikely.
Because in this era, what is emphasized is that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue, but what about Xiaoqing? Although he looks stunning, he is too hasty and usually dresses like an assassin.
No family wants their son to marry such a woman.
But according to Li Gongfu's knowledge, Shen Lian should have great autonomy at home and should have a certain say in his own marriage.
Therefore, this marriage may not be a success.
only.
"Did Xiao Shen forget about this? You shouldn't." Li Gongfu walked out of the concierge, stood on tiptoes, and looked across the dense crowd of people, trying to find traces of Shen Lian.
However, there was no discovery at all.
Although they had only known each other for less than half a year, Li Gongfu had already regarded Shen Lian, the head catcher who came from the air, as his lifelong friend.
Therefore, Li Gongfu invited Shen Bailian to attend Xu Xian's wedding. He also specially wrote an invitation and sent it to Shen's house.
But looking at the situation today, she has already reached her peak, and there is no hope of coming to the wedding.
"Hey." Li Gongfu looked at the fewer and fewer guests, sighed helplessly, adjusted his mentality, and then showed a bright red smile again, turned around and prepared to go back to host the wedding.
Without his protection, that boy Xu Xian would definitely get drunk by some malicious people and then cause trouble in the bridal chamber.
After all, in today's era, if a woman is too beautiful, sometimes it is a fault, and there will always be people with ill intentions who will think about her.
Even if the woman has become a married woman.
Suddenly.
"Official Shen has arrived." A loud voice rang in Qingshi Alley, and then two sturdy servants came step by step carrying a plaque with the words "Miao Hands Rejuvenate". Butler Wei mustered up his strength and said loudly :
"To celebrate the marriage of Dr. Xu Xianxu and Bai Suzhen, we hereby present a rejuvenation plaque handwritten by the county government officials and a land deed of Lin'an City Xu's Medical Center."
Li Gongfu looked at the golden plaque and was stunned for a moment.
The county government official’s handwriting? !
What card is this? This is a card that as long as the current Lin'an City County Government does not resign, no one will dare to be rude to Xu Xian. Its gold content is equivalent to a death-free gold medal!
Wow!
The guests coming and going instantly fell into an uproar when they heard this simple gift.
"Handwritten by the county magistrate? Plus a land deed for Xu's Medical Center. This is too generous? When did we have such a big figure in Lin'an City?"
"No one knows about Official Shen? Only Chief Shen took office recently."
"Is the relationship so strong? I was able to get the county government official to write a plaque in his own hand..." (End of Chapter)
