Qin Dewei didn't even have dinner before he was kicked away and ordered to settle Xu Xiaodi's marriage issue. But Xu Xiaodi was even worse and had to kneel at the memorial tablet.
The next day Qin Dewei went to Xianling Palace to talk to Tao Laodao about the blind date.
Tao Zhongwen, the old Taoist priest, originally thought that Qin Dewei's intention to get married might have cooled down after he disappeared for more than ten days.
Unexpectedly, Qin Dewei came over again today to discuss the marriage.
The reception still needs to be done, and you have to "please have a seat" and "serve good tea". It's not easy to deal with it casually.
Tao Laodao greeted him and said, "Scholar Qin has not seen me for many days. He must be busy with official duties."
Qin Dewei put down his teacup and replied: "Recently, the Hanlin Academy has to recruit a Hanlin bachelor. This important matter cannot be separated from my hard work. Fortunately, the dust settled yesterday and I finally have some free time again."
Tao Laodao was speechless. If he remembered correctly, it had only been three months since you, Qin Hanlin, had been admitted to the imperial examination, right? Can you influence the candidates for Hanlin bachelor's degree?
However, Qin Hanlin's ability to brag without changing his face has surpassed most of the fellow Taoists he knows.
Qin Dewei could guess what Tao Laodao was thinking, and said proudly: "Old immortal, do you think I am telling lies? You can go and find out!
Was my teacher promoted to a Hanlin bachelor yesterday? And was I promoted to the sixth rank?"
Tao Laodao suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself, and even had some distracting thoughts. Could it be that Qin Hanlin was really a god descended to earth?
Qin Dewei quickly set the date for the blind date: "If there are no accidents, let's set it for the day after tomorrow. Let's see each other."
What else could Tao Laodao say, he could only agree.
After talking about business, Qin Dewei thought of something special and said with a smile: "Since we are ready to get married, I won't go out. I have a little thing to ask the old immortal."
Although Tao Laodao didn't think that a god like Qin Hanlin had anything to ask him, he still said happily: "But it doesn't hurt to talk."
Qin Dewei asked "Hey hey hey": "Does the old immortal have any good medicine in his hand? The kind of medicine that can strengthen the body and strengthen the body, and is particularly good for a man's body?"
Tao Laodao was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Qin Dewei actually asked about aphrodisiacs and answered truthfully: "Pindao does not have such a prescription."
Qin Dewei didn't believe it and asked, "It's possible, but I won't tell anyone!"
Tao Laodao smiled bitterly: "I don't mean to tell lies, it's true. I wonder where Scholar Qin heard about it?"
Qin Dewei looked at Tao Laodao in surprise, how could he not have that good medicine?
Historical data clearly records that Tao Laodao was good at preparing aphrodisiacs that did not harm the body and made Emperor Jiajing feel so good.
According to unreliable legends, Jiajing gave birth to a batch of sons in the next year and the year after next year, which was related to Tao Laodao's medicinal treatment.
Could it be that my butterfly effect wiped out this one? But I have never been in contact with Tao Laodao before, so it should not affect him.
Qin Dewei quickly made calculations in his mind as he lowered his head to drink tea.
If Tao Laodao really doesn't have that kind of medicine, then his value will be greatly reduced... Will this marriage still be concluded?
Putting down the tea cup again, Qin Dewei asked insinuatingly again: "Is the old immortal proficient in medical skills?"
Tao Laodao didn't understand why Qin Dewei asked these questions, but he answered all questions: "I know a little bit, but it's not proficient. It's just used to deal with good men and women."
Qin Dewei continued to ask: "Who in your Tao family or in the Apparition Palace is proficient in medicine?"
Tao Laodao suddenly realized that he seemed to understand Qin Dewei's purpose, and said with a kind smile:
"Pindao has a granddaughter named Xiuxuan who has been studying medicine since she was a child. Is it her that Academician Qin wants to ask?"
Qin Dewei: "..."
That’s it! Yes, yes, it must be! It turns out that this is the key person!
It couldn't be more scientific for a person who is fanatical about the theory of dual cultivation and likes to study medicine to make a medicine that strengthens the body and strengthens the body.
Qin Dewei sighed in his heart, Tao Laodao's value had returned to the expected value, and the marriage could continue.
Then he praised her from the bottom of his heart and said, "Old Immortal, you have a good granddaughter."
Tao Laodao's expression was very bitter. He sighed, shook his head, and waved his hands, as if he was ashamed to mention his granddaughter.
Qin Dewei looked at the sun and saw that there was still a lot of time today, so he asked, "Where is the Immortal Xiu Xuan? Can I go and see her?"
It is best to verify the efficacy of the medicine to avoid having another wasted joy.
Tao Laodao suddenly became energetic and gave enthusiastic instructions: "Go out from here and keep walking to the left. After crossing a courtyard, you can see the bamboo forest.
There is a small gate in the forest, leading to a separate courtyard in the west. She is usually there, and I don't care about her much, just let her practice there by herself."
Qin Dewei stood up to say goodbye, and Tao Laodao also tacitly refused to stay. He was also afraid that Qin Dewei would not be able to find a place, so he asked a little Taoist boy to take Qin Dewei there.
Qin Dewei followed the path pointed out by Tao Laodao and saw a bamboo forest. Then he found the small gate and passed through it to enter an independent courtyard.
At this time, on the platform in front of the main hall, stood a man dressed as a scribe in a long gown with wide sleeves.
Because this person had his back to Qin Dewei, he could not see his face and was talking to the person inside through the window.
"Sister Xiu Xuan! Why don't you agree to my promise? We are childhood sweethearts and are of the same family. Aren't we born to be a good match?"
A woman's voice that was both clear and cold came from the room: "The so-called childhood sweethearts who are in the same household are just the dogma of you ordinary people. What does it have to do with me?"
Qin Dewei walked over quietly and heard Tao Xiuxuan's voice in the room, which was very recognizable.
The scribe confessed heartily: "Even without these, I still love Sister Xiuxuan in my heart! I have been feeling for you for more than ten years!"
The voice in the room was still cold: "No matter how you modify it, what you ordinary people really want in your heart is just mating."
Qin Dewei, who was standing behind, heard this and covered his mouth desperately, trying not to laugh out loud.
The scribe on the platform was still begging and pleading: "You and I have known each other for more than ten years. We have known each other since we were young in the countryside, and now we meet in the capital. Isn't this fate? How can there be no fate at all?"
Tao Xiangu in the room responded firmly: "Deliberately seeking an encounter is not fate. I've said it before, you are not a destined person. There is no fate between you and me, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."
Qin Deweiquan thought he was watching a show and was still covering his mouth desperately to prevent himself from laughing out loud.
I didn’t expect to witness a dog licking with my own eyes today. Sure enough, it was like “licking until the end and leaving nothing.”
The scribe outside the house continued to feel bitter: "But since I was a child, I have never seen you find a destined person! How can you find your so-called destined person in the world?"
The voice in the room replied: "Of course, he is right behind you."
Ah? He was discovered? Qin Dewei felt very sorry, he hadn't seen enough yet.
When the scribe on the platform heard this, he suddenly turned around and met Qin Dewei's eyes.
At this time, Qin Dewei finally saw the appearance of this man. He was about the same age as himself. He could not be said to be very handsome, but he was very energetic and could be called a spirited young man.
However, Qin Dewei's target was Tao Xiangu, and he was not very interested in the male passers-by. He nodded to the spirited young man, and then walked up the steps to the platform.
At this time, the door that had been closed just now suddenly opened from the inside, obviously for Qin Dewei.
The energetic young man from before was a little nervous and asked Qin Dewei: "How dare you ask me who you are?"
Qin Dewei asked: "Who are you? You seem to be a reading friend too?"
The spirited young man was well-educated. He endured the grief of "having nothing" and introduced himself: "I am Li Shizhen, from Huguang. I have been studying for three years."
Qin Dewei: "..."
This name is so popular that it appears in everything from primary school Chinese textbooks to middle school history textbooks.
"Why are you in the capital? Have you studied medicine?" Qin Dewei stopped and asked curiously.
Why don't you write the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and leave your name through the ages? What's the point of being a dog licker here?
Li Shizhen couldn't figure out why the other party sounded so familiar? He was obviously someone he didn't know.
I subconsciously replied: "My father works in the Taiyuan Hospital, and I am following my father in the capital. I haven't asked you for your surname yet?"
Qin Dewei stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I am Qin Dewei from Jinling!"
The Shadow of the Famous Tree, it has only been three months since the University of Science and Technology competition. How can any scholar in the capital not know who Qin Dewei is?
Li Shizhen was dumbfounded in surprise. She didn't expect that Sister Xiu Xuan's destined person was actually the number one scholar of her own age!
I was selected as a scholar three years ago at the age of fourteen. I am already considered very successful among scholars, and I have a certain amount of pride.
But in front of the top pick at the age of seventeen, this achievement is worthless!
After the shock, Li Shizhen's expression gradually began to lose focus and became sad again.
When I was seventeen, the flower season, the rainy season, and the sky were all sad.
Li Shizhen silently cupped her hands to Qin Dewei, turned around and left dejectedly.
Qin Dewei suddenly felt a little unbearable. This historical celebrity was a very positive person, so he should not be so devastated by a broken love that he could destroy the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
He quickly said to Li Shizhen: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink! There are many things worth doing in this world, don't focus on small loves, let me guide you in the future of life."
Li Shizhen is a little confused. Is there something wrong with your brain as the top pick?
You are also a man, why would you think of ditching Sister Xiuxuan and inviting yourself, a stranger, to drink?
Tao Xiuxuan floated from the depths of the room to the door. For some reason, his face was not very good-looking, and he asked coldly: "Didn't Fellow Daoist Qin come here to seek dual cultivation?"
Qin Dewei sighed and replied: "Xiangu, you may not understand, but there are more important things that I need to do now.
When it comes to merit in the next few hundred years, I worry that it will disappear because of me and become a demon in my mind.
I have to resolve this matter with my friend Li first, so I can only come back another day to discuss dual cultivation with the fairy."
Click! Tao Xiuxuan felt that a huge hole appeared in his Taoist heart, and debris fell down.
