I promise

Chapter 917 Zu Ci
On the second day, the Qianfo couple woke up early and went to Heshengtang to have breakfast with Chang Jihai.

At the dinner table, I talked to Chang Jihai about Chang Suyi and Wang Zhi.

Chang Jihai adhered to the consistent principle of "don't talk about food", and ate the rice porridge without saying a word about the pickles, with no surprise on his face.Sure enough, I knew it early in the morning.

"What do you think of Dianke?"

After eating, Chang Ji Haifang raised his head, took the handkerchief from Uncle Fu, and wiped his hands unhurriedly.

This question is not easy to answer.

Mu Dianke has only been married to Changjiabao for half a year, and he is still a bride, so he doesn't know what kind of grandson-in-law Chang Jihai wants to choose.

However, it can be seen from Chang Jihai's completely different attitudes in raising a pair of grandchildren that Chang Jihai does not hold Chang Suyi to be a great talent.

"Grandson's daughter-in-law doesn't know Wang Zhi well, so she just went to see someone she trusts. It is said that talents are mediocre, but what is rare is that character is valuable." Mu Dianke said, "Since Su Yi trusts me, tell me about it. I am more or less biased toward her... But, I have to meet that Wang Zhi before I can make a conclusion."

"Oh——" Chang Jihai habitually raised his hand to ask for a cigarette pouch, but realized that Mu Dianke was present, and put it down again, "Then, in your opinion, do you want to meet this young man?"

Mu Dian thought about it for a while, but shook his head, "You can't just see it like this, most of the time it will scare people away. What I worry about is whether Wang Zhi is blindly kind and has no motivation to fight. Is it because the family has been poor for a long time, timid and weak, and dare not bully others, or it is just like this. If it is the former, if you find a good family and marry a woman, you can live a happy and beautiful life."

All of you here are sensible people who know what the second half of the sentence she didn't say is.

Chang Suyi is not a girl from an ordinary family.If the two get married, Wang Zhi's wealth and status will be different from the past. He will be seduced by fame and fortune for a long time, and it will be difficult to guarantee his ambition.

"Su Yi is still young, and before he saw a high mountain, he encountered a stream. It's hard to say whether he can make up his mind and not regret it." Mu Dianke expressed his last worry.

Chang Jihai nodded.

He could tell that Mu Dianke's words were sincerely thinking about Chang Suyi's future.It's not to cater to him, or to show the kindness of the eldest sister-in-law, to please the sister-in-law.

Look at Changqian Buddha again.

Chang Qianfo said, "I have the same opinion as Dian Ke. This matter must be considered long-term. It cannot be killed with a stick, nor should it be rushed."

Then he said again, "Why don't I meet that person first."

"Let me go." Chang Jihai said slowly, "Dian Ke is right. If you show your true identity, you may scare people away. You often show your face outside, so it's not appropriate."

Listening to the voice, it is wrong to make mistakes, let Chang Suyi continue to talk about this marriage with the identity of the girl in charge.

Mu Dianke was curious about Chang Jihai's plan.

But it was getting late, and she had to go to Banmu Hall to attend classes, so she didn't stay long.

In all fairness, apart from his tough attitude towards Chang Huaixuan and Wen Qinglian, Chang Jihai has always been a kind elder.What a great grandfather.

He hasn't been out of the mountain for many years. The last time it was to propose marriage to his grandson, and this time, it was for his granddaughter's lifelong affairs.

The sky is cloudy today, and the Golden Crow hides in the clouds, sending the southwest wind to cool it down slowly.

There is a large flower garden in front of the half-acre hall, and a piece of it is planted with hollyhocks.A few days ago, the sun was shining brightly, the flowers and leaves curled up, and I was very lethargic, but today they are in full bloom, attracting yellow and white butterflies to scramble around.

Yun Jin and Shi Chong stood at the door looking at the flowers.

Also waiting for someone.

"I heard from Mr. Chang Qi that you go to school here, and the get out of class ends around this time." Yun Jin smiled, "It's not easy for you young lady."

Mu Dian was ridiculous, "No matter what, it's just to pass the time."

Yun Jin bowed to Ling Fu again.

That's why Zhang Bo didn't come to pick up Mu Dianke from school today, he accompanied Chang Jihai out of the castle.Mu Dian didn't need to go to the Hesheng Hall for dinner, Chang Suyi was accompanied by Chang Qi at the Liuyuan, so he didn't have to worry, it was rare to be free, so he invited Yun Jintong to Qinglian Garden for a walk.

Qinglian Garden was built by Mr. Zeng, the father of Mr. Chang Jihai, when he was alive.

This old man loved the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River so much that he never wanted to return.After returning to Luoyang, he built this garden according to the style of Jiangnan water town.

Among them are green bricks and black tiles, wide and narrow river lanes, painted eaves connecting the sky, and stone bridges arching clear waves; there are also several miles of green grass embankments, warblers shuttle through willows, and weeping poplars are deserted... It seems to dig out a piece of misty rain in Gusu, and it is vivid. Moved to the fertile soil of the Central Plains with clear four seasons.

Mu Dianke and Yunjin met in Gusu, and now they are traveling together in this deja vu painting scene, and they both have the feeling of returning to their hometown.

Shi Chong still spoke little, only occasionally speaking a word or two when asked by Yun Jin.The view is mediocre, not as "full of knowledge and sharp insights" as Yunjin said a few days ago.

——Obviously hiding his clumsiness.

Ling Fu didn't talk much all the way, and when Mu Dianke was tired from walking, when the group rested in the gazebo, he asked with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Shi is from Qianzhou, but this clan is Qianjiang Shi?"

This question is straightforward, and there is no probing intent, it seems that he is very confident in his own judgment.

Shi Chong hurriedly got up, "The head of the Shi family in Qianjiang is the grandfather in Xiatang, and my father, Mu Shilin in Qianzhou," because he apologized to Mu Dianke, "It's all because I don't have talent, I can't do it, I can't do it, I'm afraid it will bring shame to the family. , so I didn't report my family name, please forgive me, Young Madam."

This Shi Chong is a transparent person, knowing that since Ling Fu asked, he must have found out his own details, so he opened his mouth and told the whole story without any concealment.

Although the Shi family in Qianjiang is a rich family, they are rooted in remote places and their culture and education are not prosperous. Compared with Fang Rongning in Jiankang, and the old nobles such as Langya Wang, Leyang Le, and Yingchuan Wen, they still lack some heritage.

So these years the Shi family has been able to be known to others because of the fact that there are two Qianzhou shepherds in the clan: one is Shi Chong's grandfather Shi Jun, and the other is his father Shi Lin.

Speaking of it, Zhou Mu is the official name of the previous dynasty, and he is the governor of a state, holding the military power in his hand, and shepherding the people of a state.In the former dynasty, in order to prevent local forces from gaining power, the imperial court designated large prefectures as small prefectures, changed prefectural herdsmen to governors, and added soldiers to weaken the power of the chiefs to control the army.

After Liu's royal family usurped the throne, because of their injustice and unsatisfactory reputation, they were afraid that they would have rebellious thoughts.In addition, there were frequent wars in the north. In order to prevent the Prince Rui's Mansion, which had been guarding southern Yunnan for generations, from supporting troops and revolting, the State Shepherd's Mansion was re-established on the grounds that there were many mountains and poor people, many bandits, and barren farming.It is used to check and balance the Rui family in the south.

In order to make the Shi family, who are local rich families, wholeheartedly work for the imperial court, during Emperor Wu's reign, he granted Qianzhou Mururu as a lord, hereditary.

This generation of Zhou Mu Shizi is Shi Lin's eldest son, Shi Chang, and Shi Chong is the second son, born to a deceased concubine.

Shi Chong doesn't care about economics and history, nor is he good at military affairs. He prefers to study agriculture and industry. He is despised by the elders of the clan, and he doesn't want to mention it to the outside world, so few people know his name.

Ling Fu and Shi Chong talked less about the scenery of Qianzhou, and then changed something else, saying, "The old man said, Mr. Shi should have met a high-ranking person in the third and fourth months eight years ago, and he was recuperating for his asthma. It has achieved results, but who is it?"

Mu Dian also heard Chang Qianfo mention this matter.

That day she observed that Shi Chong had feelings for Yun Jin, and Yun Jin didn't dislike him, but rather admired him.So he paid attention to Shi Chong's condition, and asked Chang Qianfo whether the serious illness of this person could be cured.

Chang Qianfo replied, whether he can heal or not depends on his personal choice.

The statement is exactly the same as what Ling Fu said, and it also said that eight years ago, an expert cured him, and it would be a waste of time to heal.

If Shi Chong is willing to take good care of himself, he will definitely not be able to return to his current serious illness.

People with asthma are most afraid of wind, cold and dampness, and Shi Chong has been ill for a long time. It is not unknown, but he travels among rivers and rivers for many years, eats and sleeps in the open, and does not want to let his disease get better.

There is another point that Ling Fu didn't point out.

There are highly skilled doctors around Shi Chong, who treat him from time to time, but they are careful, just suppress the disease from getting worse, and don't treat him any more.

This may have involved the secrets of the big family, it is a matter of scheming and calculation, and it is not something that doctors can worry about.

Shi Chong had a strange expression on his face, he raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, twirling his fingers, as if he was calculating, and then praised sincerely, "Old Master Chang is really a man of genius, you can diagnose diseases with such accuracy just by looking and hearing, if you don't hear it yourself , I can’t believe it.”

Then he said, "Eight years ago, my father did invite a witch doctor who was good at treating asthma for me, but the man has passed away. I'm ashamed, it's been a long time, and I don't remember the name of my benefactor."

Ling Fu said, "That's really a pity, if it wasn't for this doctor's fate, he would have lived an extra ten years, and Mr. Shi would not have had to suffer this misfortune for many years."

Shi Chong smiled, his pale face was filled with bitterness, "Life and death are up to God, probably the younger generation does not have such a blessing in their lives."

The children of the aristocratic family all pay attention to what they say, and don't say a word that is inappropriate.

Especially the discord within the clan, even if there is a great grievance in his heart, he will never tell outsiders.

Judging from the unfinished meaning in Shi Chong's words, there may be something hidden about the witch doctor's death.
