Chapter 24 The recent situation of the Lin Mansion
In the front hall of Lin Mansion, the head of the family, Lin Tingzheng, has not yet appeared.
His younger brother Lin Gang was sitting as a guest with a gloomy expression.
Next to him was Divine Doctor Xue, his eyes half-closed, as usual.
There was no one around, and Lin Gangzheng said in a low voice: "Doctor Xue, today is your last chance. I don't have time to waste on you. If Lin Xiang'er is still fine, I will never think about recommending the Xue family again in my life.
carry."
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, I have everything in mind today."
Doctor Xue's tone was calm and he didn't care.
Lin Gangzheng sighed heavily, having nothing to say.
Regarding medical skills, Lin Gangzheng didn't know much about it and couldn't talk about it.
Several days passed, and Lin Xiang'er's condition did not worsen. Even the old man of the Lin family, who had finally been persuaded, even wanted to withdraw.
After months of preparation, Lin Gang was unwilling to accept that everything was going to be in vain.
Fortunately, Doctor Xue found the "fairy water" from nowhere. It is estimated that after letting Lin Xiang'er take it, her condition will deteriorate rapidly.
Then he personally brought Doctor Xue to the house to see with his own eyes how Lin Xiang'er was doing.
Lin Gangzheng came and brought a new batch of "Lin Xuan" with him.
Lin Ting was counting the goods in the main courtyard, and then ordered his subordinates to keep them well.
After a while, Lin Tingzheng hurried to the main hall, first handed over to Divine Doctor Xue, and then said to his brother: "This batch of Lin Xuan is of high quality. It seems that you have put a lot of thought into it, second brother."
Lin Gangzheng didn't answer, just nodded.
Lin Ting frowned and asked again: "It's just that the number of this batch is smaller. You should also know that this year's 'Little Year's Review' will be held in our Lin family. There are many guests coming and going, and there are quite a few people who need to be taken care of. We
Lin Xuan of the Lin family is the treasure of the house, and all guests participating in the 'Little Sui Ping' must give some as gifts."
"I know that the workers in the paper mill are already working hard to make it. There will definitely be enough supply of 'Lin Xuan' before the 'Xiao Sui Ping'."
"Thank you, second brother." Lin Tingzheng bowed his hand politely and hesitated before speaking. After a pause, he whispered, "Second brother, come out with me for a moment."
Lin Ting was calling his brothers to go out to the front hall, and whispered under the eaves: "The 'Little Sui Ping' is still half a month away, and the family needs to start preparations. The 'Little Sui Ping' is of great importance, and whether it is done well or not will affect the face of my Lin family.
I think I can do it as well as possible for my brother, and all expenses will cost three thousand guan."
Lin Gang was smiling but said: "The eldest brother is the head of the Lin family, so he should make the 'Xiao Sui Ping' a success. Last year, the Xu family in Shanghe County spent a total of 4,000 guan. This year, when we arrived at the Lin family, we spent
If you spend three thousand guan to do it, I’m afraid the ostentation would be too small.”
"this……"
"In my brother's opinion, we should prepare five thousand guan at the least, so as not to weaken the reputation of our Lin family."
"Five thousand..." Lin Tingzheng had a wry smile on his face, "I just want to tell my second brother that even if we prepare three thousand guan, the family still has a vacancy of 1,000 guan. Where can the Lin family get so much money?"
"Brother, isn't it? Your boss is as big as the Lin family, and he can't even afford five thousand guan?"
"...Hey! I spent a lot of money going back and forth to treat Xiang'er a few days ago."
"Let's see, the eldest brother is free to buy things. If there is not enough, the younger brother will come to collect and lend it to the eldest brother for emergency."
"really?"
Lin Tingzheng was overjoyed and said that he had never seen his brother so generous before.
I was still thinking about how to ask for a loan, but my brother took the initiative and was willing to lend the money.
Although they are brothers, they have already separated their families. How can the sidelines help with the affairs of the main family? It will not sound good if you tell them!
"It's rare for the second brother to be so generous. It can be regarded as a big help to the eldest brother."
"They are all brothers, why are you talking about that?"
Lin Gangzheng's words gave Lin Tingzheng reassurance. He had been in charge of the Lin family for more than a year, but he had never done anything to bring glory to the Lin family.
This time the 'Little Year's Review' was held in the Lin family, Lin Tingzheng had made up his mind to let all the aristocratic families in the ten counties of Youzhou see the Lin family's style.
After finishing the matter, Lin Xiang'er took Xiaocui and Bai Song outside the hall.
When he saw his father and second uncle, he stopped to salute.
Lin Ting looked happy, but when he saw Bai Song following him, he couldn't help but frown.
Without saying much, Lin Gangzheng gave him a gentle glance, waved his hand and walked into the hall.
Lin Xiang'er turned around: "Xiao Cui, wait for me here. Follow me in."
"Miss, why can he go in with you..."
The little girl was dissatisfied, but was quickly stared back by Lin Xiang'er with a serious look.
Lin Gang was looking at Lin Xiang'er with a strange expression.
Lin Xiang'er's complexion is getting better and better day by day. How can she look sick at all now?
Lin Xiang'er made eye contact with her second uncle, smiled, and bowed again: "Thank you very much, my second uncle, for your concern over the past few days. Xiang'er's illness has completely recovered."
Lin Gangzheng frowned, unnaturally, and smiled dryly: "Haha... That's good! But whether it's cured or not depends on Doctor Xue's examination."
In the hall, Doctor Xue took Lin Xiang'er's pulse and pretended to be a ghost for a long time.
Lin Tingzheng did not sit down, but stood nervously aside.
When Divine Doctor Xue stopped, he asked eagerly: "Doctor Xue, how is my little girl's illness?"
Doctor Xue smiled with a smile on his face and stroked his long beard: "Congratulations to Mr. Lin, Miss Lin's illness has been completely cured."
"real?!"
"After days of treatment by me, Miss Lin's health has improved. Now is the last dose of medicine."
As he spoke, Doctor Xue took out a bowl of "fairy water" he had brought.
"What is this?"
"This thing is called fairy water. It can strengthen the body and strengthen the body, so that Miss Lin will no longer be troubled by the plague."
Lin Xiang'er frowned and looked at the medicine in Doctor Xue's hand, feeling a little nervous: "Since you said you have completely recovered, why do you still need to take medicine?"
"What Miss Lin doesn't know is that even if she recovers, she may relapse in the future. The plague is raging outside, and this bowl of fairy water can play a preventive role."
Lin Xiang'er felt even more uneasy when she looked at the dark soup.
On the other hand, Lin Gangzheng also said with a smile: "Niece Xiang'er, you must listen to Doctor Xue. Doctor Xue is a famous doctor and will never harm you."
"Then...then I'll take it back to the room and drink it."
"Eh... this can't be done!" Doctor Xue changed his normal attitude and said seriously, "This medicine is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. To ensure that the secret recipe is not leaked, the young lady should drink the medicine in front of me."
"What do you need to drink in front of your face?" Bai Song interrupted disdainfully, "Could it be some kind of poison?"
"Who are you?" Lin Gang was waiting for Bai Song, "Do you have a role to speak here?"
"Second uncle, he is Bai Song. Thanks to him for taking care of me these days."
"Bai Song? Is he the son-in-law from a poor family?"
Lin Gangzheng's expression became serious and he looked Bai Song up and down.
Even Divine Doctor Xue looked at Bai Song, thoughtfully.
Doctor Xue had already said before that Miss Lin had experts to help her, otherwise Miss Lin would not have recovered so quickly after taking those medicated meals.
In the Lin family, the only person who could possibly see through Doctor Xue's plan was the son-in-law who brought Miss Lin back to life.
