Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 3 The Shen family has a daughter
The Shen family has a daughter who looks like a fairy and is well educated.

This has been spread so miraculously in Lin County, Xu Bin has long thought about it in his heart!

Xu Laosan is not a fool either, he naturally knows that once his old man dies, the Xu family's family business will definitely not be in his name, if he can marry Shen Zheng's daughter, then the Shen family's family property will belong to him up?
So Xu Laosan urged his father to go to the Shen family to propose marriage.

But the evil deeds of the third young master of the Xu family are known all over the city, so how could Shen Zheng not know about it?Hearing that he was a matchmaker for Xu San, he was furious and kicked the matchmaker out of the house.

The Xu family was not discouraged, and invited several matchmakers at a high price, but Shen Zheng scolded them bloody every time, and then beat the matchmakers out with a stick.

The Shen family's move naturally annoyed the Xu family, but the Shen family is also a rich family, although the Xu family is powerful, there is nothing they can do against the Shen family for a while.

After listening to Zhang Ao's narration, Li Jing suddenly remembered the reward notice posted at the gate of the city, and asked, "The Shen family is rich, why is there a reward for bear bile? Doesn't the pharmacy in the county town not have bear bile? Not anywhere else?"

Zhang Ao smiled wryly when he heard this, and then explained the reason to Li Jing.

It turned out that a few days ago, Mrs. Shen had a small sore on her body. At first, she didn't pay attention to it, but the abscess gradually grew larger, and then broke.

The Shen brothers, who were doing business in other places, got the news and hurried back home. They found a good doctor for an examination.

The doctor prescribed the medicine, and before leaving, he specifically stated that the old man was old and in critical condition, and he needed bear bile as the main medicine to get quick results.

Although bear bile is a precious medicine, it is expensive, but the Shen family is rich, but they don't care about such a small amount of money.

Shen Zheng hurriedly called his servants to take the medicine according to the prescription, but he didn't expect that there were no bear bile in Lin County's big and small pharmacies, and he hurriedly ordered people to rush to Fucheng to buy medicine. Unexpectedly, the bear bile in the Fucheng pharmacy had already been sold out, not only that, All the bear bile in the surrounding counties were also bought.

Now Shen Zheng was in a panic. In desperation, he could only post a notice asking for a high price.

After listening to Li Jing, after a little thought, he understood the reason.

How could the Xu family let it go after being rejected by the Shen family, it is estimated that they have been eyeing the Shen family for a long time, and if there is a slight flaw in the Shen family, they will ruthlessly pounce on it.

It must be that the Xu family bought up all the bear bile in the surrounding counties after learning the news of Mrs. Shen's illness, intending to blackmail Shen Zheng.

Xu Laosan went to propose marriage at this time because he thought that if Shen Zheng wanted his father to live, he would have to exchange his daughter for it.

Li Jing shook his head, this youngest Xu is a tyrant, how can he easily agree to this marriage before the Shen family is at the end of their ropes?He was just asking for humiliation by going here at this time.

Thinking about the situation of the Shen family, and thinking about his current situation, Li Jing suddenly had a thought in his heart...

After pondering for a while, Li Jing said, "Zhang Ao, take me to Shen's house!"

"Why did En Gong go to the Shen family? The Shen family has a great career, so they will definitely not be afraid of Xu San!" Zhang Ao scratched his head and said.

Li Jing shook his head. He didn't know whether Zhang Ao was really stupid or just pretending. Since ancient times, the rich did not fight with the officials. No matter how rich the Shen family is, can they fight against a bully like the Xu family who is backed by the government?
But he didn't explain, just glanced at Zhang Ao, waved his hand lightly and said, "Let's go!"

Li Jing led the team to carry out missions many times, and killed an unknown number of people. There was a sense of power and murderousness in his bones. Xu Sanna and other bullies were terrified after taking a look at it, let alone Zhang Ao.

Li Jing glanced at Zhang Ao, and he was a little timid, so he could only lead the way honestly.

……

The inner hall of the Shen residence.

Shen Zheng sat blankly by the bed and looked at his lifeless father.

"Master, don't worry, there will always be a way!"

Hearing someone calling, Shen Zheng suddenly turned his head, but it was his wife Wang Shi.

"This teaches me why I am not in a hurry. I saw my father's illness getting worse day by day, but I didn't get the bear gall..." Shen Zheng looked at Wang and said slightly annoyed.

"Since the old man fell ill, the old man took care of him in undressed clothes, it has reduced a lot, and this concubine can't bear it physically and mentally. In addition... there is another matter I want to discuss with the old man." Wang said softly.

Hearing that Mrs. Wang cared about him, Shen Zheng's heart warmed up: "What's the matter?"

Walking behind Shen Zheng, Mrs. Wang said, while beating Shen Zheng's back lightly, "Master! My concubine thinks that our family's purchase of medicine is a bit strange. Although the bear bile is a precious thing, the medicine is not. Very few, why would they be acquired in large numbers?"

Shen Zheng turned his head to look at Wang Shi, and sighed: "Yeah! I'm also thinking about this matter, who took away so many bear bile?"

"It's actually not difficult to guess. From the perspective of my concubine, I'm afraid it was the Xu family's doing." Wang said.

"Huh? You mean the Xu family wants to blackmail me with bear bile?" Shen Zheng frowned.

"I'm afraid that's the case." Wang nodded lightly.

Shen Zheng got up and walked around the house for a few days. In the past few days, he also suspected that the purchase of bear bile was done by the Xu family, but he still couldn't be sure. Even his wife could see it at this time, so he must be right.

Only the Xu family can do this kind of thing, and they have the ability to do it.

Old Mrs. Shen was old, and if he didn't have bear gall, he might not be able to hold on for a few days. At this time, once the Xu family came to propose marriage with bear gall, Shen Zheng would have to submit.

If you don't follow, you won't be able to keep old Mrs. Shen's life. Shen Zheng has violated filial piety, and he will never have to raise his head to meet people again.

If he did, Shen Zheng's daughter would have to marry into the Xu family, and her life would be ruined.

On one side was the old father, on the other was the daughter, both of whom were Shen Zheng's dearest relatives and loved ones, trying to figure out why, Shen Zheng was even more confused.

Suddenly, Shen Zheng turned his head and asked, "How did you see this?"

Shen Zheng and Wang have been married for more than [-] years, and they know his wife very well, knowing that his wife does not have such insight.

"My daughter told me." Wang said softly.

"Daughter told you?"

Shen Zheng knew that his daughter was well-educated, gentle and virtuous, but he didn't want to have such knowledge.

"Since my daughter told you, what else did she tell you?" Shen Zheng asked.

"The daughter also said, tell the master not to worry, as long as the master agrees to the marriage, the old man will be saved."

After speaking, Wang suddenly covered her face and began to cry.

She also knew that once the master agreed to this marriage, her daughter's life would be over.

Seeing his wife crying, Shen Zheng hurriedly scolded in a low voice: "Why are you crying here! If the servants heard it, they would think the old man is dead!"

Wang wiped her eyes hastily and said, "Yes! I thought about my daughter's appearance in the future, so I couldn't help it."

Shen Zheng sighed, patted his wife on the back lightly and said, "What else did my daughter tell you?"

Seeing her husband comforting herself, Wang's heart was warm, and she leaned lightly on Shen Zheng's arms and said, "Daughter said, there is one more thing, master should make plans early."

"What's the matter?" Shen Zheng asked softly.

"Let the master adopt the fourth son of the second uncle's family first! In this way, our family will have no worries in the future." Shen said.

Shen Zhengwen was startled when he heard this!

He only has one daughter, but the sons of the second brother Shen Yi and the third brother Shen Qing have many sons, it's just that the qualifications of these young masters are mediocre, and they are lazy and lazy. Everyone knows that if the Shen family's family business falls into their hands, It will definitely fail.

On the contrary, it is good that the concubine of the second brother Shen Yi gave birth to a son, but because he is a concubine, it is absolutely impossible to inherit the family business.

It can be said that if the Shen family's family business wants to survive, it can only fall on Miss Shen's family and recruit a capable son-in-law.

But how could someone with a little bit of ability get married?

Shen Zheng has no children, and the family business can only be passed on to his daughter in the future. Once the daughter joins the Xu family, the property will belong to the Xu family. Unexpectedly, her daughter has seen through the Xu family's schemes.

What is especially commendable is that she can see that among the other two houses of the Shen family, only Shen Jixian can inherit the family business of the Shen family.

Shen Zheng was thinking about it, and Wang continued: "My daughter also said that Lin County is not a place to stay for a long time, let the master make plans and move out as soon as possible."

Shen Zheng was taken aback, his daughter is amazing!How could this daughter marry that bastard Xu Laosan with such a long-term view!
"Madam, you go back and tell your daughter, let her just feel at ease, I will definitely not let her marry into the Xu family." Shen Zheng clenched his fists.

"Then I'll go back first." After Wang finished speaking, she turned and opened the door to leave.

Seeing his wife go out, Shen Zheng sighed in his heart. Although the words were light and simple, but if something really happened, what should we do?

Shen Zheng was thinking about what his daughter said when suddenly a voice came from outside the door.

It was Shen Liu'er, a servant, who came to report the letter, and the third child of the Xu family asked to see him.

Shen Zhengwen was furious, "Call me out!"

……

Zhang Ao took Li Jing out of the city, all the way to the west, about three or four miles away, and saw Yang Liu Yiyi in the distance, and there was a big house behind.There was a group of people standing beside the tree in front of the house, they were Xu San and his subordinates.

Li Jing smiled, his guess was right, Mr. Xu must have been rejected.

Seeing Xu Laosan, Zhang Ao did not dare to meet this evil young man, so he stopped from a distance: "Grandfather, the Xu family has the support of the government, and the Zhangde Guard is nearby, with four or five thousand soldiers stationed there. Benedict, please don't cause any serious trouble."

Nodding his head, Li Jing was grateful to Zhang Ao for reminding him that he didn't need to care about the servants in the government office, but if there were troops stationed here, he had to be careful. Facing thousands of troops, no matter how powerful a person is, it is useless .

Li Jinglai's original intention was that once Xu Laosan really used force to coerce him, he would have nothing to do with it, and deal with the evil boy first, since Xu Laosan did not enter the house, it meant that the Shen family was not at the end of their rope and did not pay him any attention.

And the idiot Xu Laosan revealed his intentions in advance. This time he was shut down, and he might not come again within three or two days, but it might not be so long.

At this time, Li Jing has concluded that it is now the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the Eunuch Party headed by Wei Zhongxian controls the government.However, the Manchus outside the pass pressed on every step of the way, and the Ming Dynasty was in a precarious state.

As a modern person, and a soldier at that, in such an era, it is impossible not to have some ideas.

But out of professional habits, Li Jing has to think carefully about everything he does. He is bold and careful, which has already left a deep imprint on him, and it is impossible to change it.
