Second spring

Lin Yijia held up the ancient tea leaves to offer treasures to Mr. Li, but it made the old man caress his beard and smile.

Lin Yijia was puzzled, so Mr. Lin smiled and said: "Your grandfather Li traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in the early years. How can you not know where and what is produced? He has searched the mountain you went to yesterday, so naturally he knows this ancient tea tree. You Girl, I still don't know enough..." Mr. Lin is very fond of Lin Yijia, especially after learning of Qing Fengnian's benevolent deeds by accident, he is very pleased.In addition to being relieved, Sanye Lin was not pleasing to the eye for several days. Fortunately, Sanye Lin was very filial to the old lady, so he didn't express anything.

"Compared to other boudoir ladies, Yi girl is really rare." Mr. Li rolled his eyes at Mr. Lin, and said, "How can I not know about you, Mr. Lin? You are so proud of yourself!" He also knew about Qingfengnian very well. , Looking at Lin Yijia's eyes, I feel a little regretful.

When Lin Yijia received such gazes, she couldn't help but think of what her mother said, "If I were a man".Just thinking about it, she came back to her senses, and said coquettishly to Mr. Li, "Grandpa Li, have you made a magic medicine for detoxification yet?"

"There is no magic medicine, but some antidote has been made." Mr. Li took a small porcelain bottle from the Baina medicine box that he never left, and gave it to Lin Yijia with a smile: "This is what I made after decades of research." The antidote, although it cannot cure all poisons, it can suppress most of the poisons in this world! Only when the onset is slowed down, will there be a chance to find an antidote!"

so smart!

Lin Yijia hurriedly held the small porcelain bottle carefully in the palm of her hand.

"This medicine is not easy to make, and there are only a few in total." Mr. Li instructed: "I'll give you three. Keep it in case you need it urgently. This medicine is also very effective. You can only use one at a time, and you can't use it in non-emergency situations." , keep it carefully."

"Thank you, Grandpa Li." Lin Yijia smiled and was not as polite as Grandpa Li.

After receiving the medicine, she stayed to watch the two old men play chess.Old and young, young and old, both of them are not proficient in chess, so they play equally well, regretting that chess is played by you and me.very interesting.

In this game, Mr. Li lost the upper hand and was about to lose.And Mr. Lin strictly guarded against death, insisting that he is not allowed to play chess or play arrogance.The two old men looked like two children, blowing their beards and staring.

Lin Yijia couldn't help pursing her lips and smiling.

The Lin family and their group have been staying outside this small town for several days.Mrs. Lin's condition did not repeat itself, but Mr. Lin ordered her not to leave in a hurry.Don't say why.It's also inexplicable that the old man called her over just now.

Just as the two old men were at a stalemate, there was movement at the gate of the courtyard.

Lin Yijia tilted her head, and the blue shirt appeared in her eyes, but it was Mr. Liu who met under the tea tree on the mountain yesterday.

This is the camp of the Lin family, and they just settled down.

How did he find it?

Lin Yijia was puzzled.He took a step back and obediently stood behind Mr. Lin.

The two old men also noticed the visitor.

Mr. Li threw the chess piece in his hand onto the chessboard.After messing up the chessboard again, he greeted Mr. Liu: "Ha, Shenzhi, you are here!"

"Old Li!" Mr. Lin was furious immediately, pointing at Mr. Li and yelling: "Do you still have any sense of shame! If you lose, you'll be shameless! You don't even want to lose your old face!"

"Where did I lose!" Mr. Li refused to admit it in a daze: "Old Lintou, you must have evidence for what you say!"

The chessboard is already in a mess, so I can't see anything.

Even though Mr. Li was still complacent, Mr. Lin's eyebrows and beard twitched in anger.

It turned out that his name was Liu Shenzhi.Lin Yijia watched him.I couldn't help thinking: This name seems a bit serious.People who are not like him make people feel warm at the first sight and want to get close.

When the two old men were arguing, Liu Shenzhi had already approached and saluted the two old men.Seeing Lin Yijia, he was a little surprised, and then showed a warm and polite smile.Lin Yijia bowed slightly, as a way of paying back the gift. ,

The two old men stopped their quarrel.

"Old Lintou, let me introduce you." Mr. Li got up and pulled Liu Shenzhi to his side, and said, "Liu Shenzhi, the owner of Shenzhitang, half of my disciples, his medical skills are not inferior to mine."

He turned his head and asked Liu Shenzhi again: "Shenzhi, how old are you this year?"

Liu Shenzhi was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hui, Shenzhi is twenty-four this year."

Mr. Li nodded, and said to Mr. Lin, "How is it? He's 24 years old and hasn't married yet."

I don't know if she is sensitive, why does Lin Yijia feel that Mr. Li is also staring at her.However, such a gentle person with good medical skills, Shenzhitang is also a big medicine hall, except that it didn’t open in Shengjing, there are many towns along the way that have branches of Shenzhitang... such a one Man, you are so beautiful, why are you still not married at 24?

"Xiao Liu, you go out first." Mr. Lin turned his head and dismissed Lin Yijia first.

Lin Yijia froze for a moment, suddenly thought of something in her mind, her face was slightly feverish, she glanced at Liu Shenzhi out of the corner of her eye, answered "Yes" softly, turned and left the camp.

After walking out, she exhaled lightly, only to realize that her body seemed a little stiff, as if she was too nervous.If she guessed right, Mr. Li wanted to be a matchmaker for her... But didn't he give up looking forward to it a long time ago?How could he be more nervous than when Yang Guangbei stood in front of her and asked her to marry her.

This is unreasonable.Lin Yijia thought to herself.

She stood there, her mind was overwhelming, but she didn't know what she was thinking.I only remember the clouds in the sky in the distance, kneaded into balls for a while, pulled into flocks for a while, and finally gradually merged into the blue sky without traces.

"Miss Lin." Lin Yijia was startled by the warm voice in her ear, and she quickly dodged away.Seeing Liu Shenzhi's kind and warm smile, Lin Yijia pinched the palm of her hand with her strong nails for some reason, and in exchange for a calm face, she replied: "Mr. Liu."

"Miss, are you going to go in to serve?" Liu Shenzhi smiled calmly: "Miss, go in, Liu will go ahead...Leave."

Lin Yijia bowed slightly, watching Liu Shenzhi leave.He walked without haste.Qingyi is free and easy, as if he doesn't know that there is still a line of sight on him.She didn't know why she kept looking at it like this, but she really found something——

When Liu Shenzhi was almost out of sight, he ran into Fourth Master Lin Shifei, and the two chatted for a while, then left side by side towards the town, as if they were very friendly.

Lin Yijia did not enter the camp of the two old men again.After a routine visit to Mrs. Lin, he returned to his carriage.She didn't want to mention today's matter to anyone.

Just like she said she expected.After she left, old man Lin questioned Liu Shenzhi carefully, and then let him go, and then the two old men muttered to each other.

"If Shiqing hadn't resigned, I wouldn't worry about it." Mr. Li blew on the teacup in his hand, and said, "But now. It's unrealistic for Yi girl to marry back to Shengjing, but In Luzhou, it is difficult to find any good talents, and I am afraid that girl Yi will be wronged. As for Shenzhi, he is quite suitable in other aspects except that the girl is a few years older. That's why I wrote a letter asking him to come over Take a look, let Yi girl take a look too."

Mr. Lin didn't speak.

Mr. Li then continued: "In other words. It's also because your Lin family has always been eclectic, and you changed to another scholarly family, so I don't bother to say this..." Mr. Lin himself is not doing business, Lin Er The master is still a member of the Liyuan family, and in the third generation, Lin Jiakang will soon become a generation of painters... Such a Lin family, of course, would not mind having a son-in-law with excellent medical skills.As long as the son-in-law is of good character and has real skills.

"He's engaged." Mr. Lin said.

Hearing this, Mr. Li raised his eyes from above the teacup to give Mr. Lin a strange look, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I was engaged. But my fiancée is gone...Old Lin, are you really particular about this?"

The one who died was his fiancée, not a direct relative, so there was indeed nothing worth paying attention to.

Mr. Lin said: "Unfortunately, he is from the Liu family."

"Liu Shenzhi has nothing to do with the Liu family in Shengjing other than his surname Liu!" Mr. Li also got a little impatient, and said: "Anyway, you have seen Mr. Lin, and you have passed the cross-examination. If you want, I'll be the matchmaker, if you don't want to, I won't bother! Look at you, you're so hypocritical! Hmph!"

Mr. Li put down the teacup lightly, expressing his intention to see off the guests.

Mr. Lin frowned, got up and walked out.Liu Shenzhi is indeed a very good person, with integrity.He is indeed not a member of Shengjing Liu's family anymore.It is said that in those days, after today's old Liuge and his wife gave birth to a son, they went to Beijing to rush for the exam, won the Jinshi in one fell swoop, was favored by the nobles of Shengjing, and recruited him as his son-in-law.

At that time, Mr. Liu Ge wanted to demote his wife to be a concubine, and the noble family also accepted the existence of this filthy wife.According to the storybook, this country woman should be grateful for the kindness of her husband who does not dislike her for being old and ugly. Ge Lao broke up with Li!At that time, Mr. Liu Ge was afraid that the matter would become serious and that the bride would not like his eldest son, so he left the eldest son with the old woman.

The old woman raised her son herself, married a wife for him, and had Liu Shenzhi.However, Liu Shenzhi's father was in poor health. After the old woman passed away, he was hit hard and passed away. Only Liu Shenzhi and his mother were left in the family.

At that time Liu Shenzhi was 12 years old, and the old official of Liu Pavilion had already done a great job, and he also expressed his intention to bring Liu Shenzhi's mother and son into the Liu family, but Liu Shenzhi refused.As for Mr. Liu Ge himself, he has many descendants. After getting angry, he gradually forgot about Liu Shenzhi, and did not contact him for many years.

Liu Shenzhi's medical skills were learned by chance.And because of his high talent, willingness to endure hardships and hard work, and knowing how to change, he has achieved today's achievements.

What's even more rare is that all these sufferings didn't affect his character—it can only be said that people who study medicine are benevolent.

Mr. Lin didn't answer right away, of course he had doubts in his heart and wanted to inquire again.

——If the facts are as Mr. Li said, then Liu Shenzhi is only 24 years old, and his childhood was poor and he could only rely on his grandmother to enlighten him by holding a tree branch and practicing calligraphy on the sand... How did he learn medical skills in a short period of time and earn a living? Shenzhitang is a big family business?

Shenzhitang has dozens of branches in the Jianghuai area!Millions of taels of silver are worth it!

Mr. Lin didn't delay, he mentioned Liu Shenzhi's situation to Lin Shiqing and Mrs. Lin, and said thoughtfully: "...I can trust you, Uncle Li. I just met someone, and to be honest, I have nothing to criticize Yes. It's just..."

Lin Shiqing and his wife looked at each other.

Lin Shiqing asked, "What worries does father have?"

Mr. Lin shook his head, and said: "Let someone go and check it out, don't wrong girl Yi." If Liu Shenzhi didn't have these dozens of Shenzhitangs, or only a few Shenzhitangs, his mind would definitely be at ease. There are a lot, and I can almost call the shots...

It's just this, it's a little difficult to speak.After all, is it wrong for someone to be promising?It would be ridiculous to say so!

"Father, don't worry." Mrs. Lin thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Liu recently told me that she wanted to see if she had any achievements in business. Especially in terms of food and products, she has been very Work hard and study hard.”

"Huh?" Old Master Lin's expression turned serious: "Why don't I know!"

"You also know that during the Spring Festival, a great event was accomplished in the year of Qingfeng." Mrs. Lin thought about it and said to Mr. Lin: "This matter touched her a lot, and she was born with the idea that she can't do nothing. We also Nodded, agreed to let her try."

Therefore, her marriage is not in a hurry for the time being, at least let her put her fists to work.Otherwise, she would be unwilling to let her get married like this.

Mr. Lin didn't reprimand, but said, "She's a girl after all..."

There was a smile in Mrs. Lin's eyes, and she said: "It is because she is a girl that she has some wish, so she has to fulfill it as much as possible... Yi girl has been quiet since she was a child, but she has an idea. I will not hide it from you, father. , my daughter-in-law has always been very concerned about her life, but every time I mention it to her, she is not interested, as if she has not yet enlightened on the relationship between men and women, it is really worrying."

Lin Shiqing also nodded and said, "Both Yierniang and I think it's better to take it easy and let her struggle for a year or so. We sincerely hope that Xiaoliu will have a good life in the future and don't dare to be impatient."

"But what if this Liu Shenzhi is really good?" Elder Lin asked with a frown.That Liu Shenzhi is not young, so he can't stay unmarried and wait for Lin Yijia.

"If you miss it, then it can only be said that the two children are not destined!" Mrs. Lin said firmly, without worrying about gain or loss.She was thinking in her heart: When Xiaoliu was in Shengjing, she didn't have a good candidate for the handsome young man who was full of Shengjing, but this time when he left Shengjing, Yang Guangbei appeared, and at this time there was another A Liu Shenzhi... how do you know there will be no more suitable ones in the future?She is very courageous now!
