Aoyama City is located in the northern region, but its location is close to the seaside, and it is a famous tourist attraction.
On the top of the mountain in the city, there is an elegant and quiet two-story Chinese-style building.
Mr. Lin was sitting on a bamboo chair, looking at the old man in front of him with a sad face.
"Old Lin, please don't do this in front of me. How many years have you, an old guy, been a miserable person?"
An old man with white hair and beard sitting opposite Mr. Lin blew the tea leaves in the cup in his hand, took a sip, and said mockingly.
"What are you talking about, Lao Xiao?"
When Mr. Lin's ruse was discovered, he immediately started blowing his beard and staring.
"You came to me, didn't you just want me to help with the seminar? I'm retired, so it's useless for you to come to me for this kind of thing!"
"Our friendship for so many years is here. If you don't go, I won't leave today and will live with you!"
Mr. Lin was really helpless. He came to this old friend this time to ask him to help.
Soon, Jiangnan Province will organize a high-standard academic symposium, and all those attending the symposium will be famous doctors of traditional Chinese medicine in the country.
It's just that Jiangnan Province, as the host country, has experienced a decline in talent in this area in recent years.
In particular, there are fewer top players, and after Mr. Huang passed away last year, the situation has become even worse.
If you want to hold this seminar successfully this year, or even if you want to keep the Jiangnan Traditional Chinese Medicine Association's ranking in the country, you must have a reputable boss in charge!
He had no choice but to ask his old friend for help!
"You are still as scoundrel as before!" Mr. Xiao said helplessly.
Mr. Lin turned a deaf ear. He drank all the tea in one gulp, lay down on the chair and closed his eyes.
There is nothing Mr. Xiao can do about this kind of behavior like a knife.
After thinking about it again and again, he sighed and said, "It's very troublesome for me to move my bones, and I don't have the energy to fight with them. How about I lend you my apprentice?"
apprentice?
Mr. Lin's eyes suddenly lit up!
More than 20 years ago, he and Lao Xiao made an agreement.
If you have a granddaughter or grandson, you must kiss her.
The method is very old-fashioned and bloody, that is, if they are both grandsons or granddaughters, they will be sworn sworn brothers!
If you have a granddaughter and a grandson, then get married.
Unexpectedly, Lao Xiao never got married!
I vaguely remember that this old friend of mine did take on a disciple a few years ago. Although he was a picked-up child, the child grew up with him and was like his own son.
The situation at that time was quite complicated, so I might as well not mention it!
But no matter what, this old boy has a daughter.
Lao Xiao has been teaching this child medical skills over the years, and Lao Xiao is equipped with ancient martial arts and is also very powerful.
This child is equivalent to his heir. Let him go to this conference, maybe it will work!
But Mr. Lin still said: "When did you accept the apprentice? No, no, you should go in person!"
Hearing this, Lao Xiao said helplessly: "My apprentice is going to the medical clinic at this time. He will come back later. You can tell me if it is okay after meeting the person!"
Lao Xiao opened a large medical clinic at the foot of the mountain, but compared to the Lin family's small medical clinic, this one is much larger.
Not only does it occupy a separate building, but there are fifty or sixty people in total. This size is already considered a pretty decent Chinese medicine clinic.
More importantly, under Mr. Xiao's many years of management, the medical clinic has a very good reputation.
If you call me a disciple, in fact, everyone in the medical center has received some guidance to some extent.
But the only one who truly has the status of master and disciple is his adopted child, so it would be nice to meet him.
"Okay, if that baby doesn't work, you can get out of the mountain!"
"OK!"
Not long after, a handsome young man wearing a black coat opened the door and walked into the courtyard.
"Master, what do you want to eat? I'll buy groceries!"
The coat this young man is wearing is very strange. It does not look like the fashionable style that is popular on the market. Instead, it looks more like the kind of Taoist robe that Tai Chi practitioners like to wear.
Long clothes and long trousers, not tied at the waist, very loose.
Lao Xiao smiled and said: "Xiaoqing, come here, this is your Grandpa Lin, my old friend!"
Upon hearing this, Lao Xiao's apprentice immediately came over, bowed to Lao Lin, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Lin, I'm sorry, I just came back from sitting in court..."
The moment he saw this apprentice, Mr. Lin's eyes suddenly lit up!
This kid is really good-looking and talented!
Moreover, he is also Lao Xiao’s beloved disciple, no different from his grandson. He can’t help but think of the engagement he mentioned before!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. How old are you this year? What is your name?"
Lao Xiao's apprentice said openly: "Old Lin, my name is Xiao Qing, and I am twenty-three this year!"
Xiao Qing?
What a good name, and it comes from Lao Xiao’s family!
"Old Xiao, do you still remember the engagement we discussed before?"
Lao Xiao suddenly frowned and thought for a moment, then said helplessly: "You old guy, I knew you had no good intentions!"
He knew something about the Lin family. He even attended the funeral when something happened to Lin Qingyu's father. The inheritance of the Lin family made people very worried.
But looking at old man Lin's intention now, he plans to renegotiate the engagement. If Xiao Qing and Lin Qingyu get married, there will be no problem with the inheritance of the Lin family!
Especially since Xiao Qing is deeply impressed by his true heritage, if these two families unite, almost all the traditional Chinese medicine families in the south, let alone Jiangnan Province, will shun them!
Xiao Qing looked confused, what about the engagement or not?
Xiao Qing's growth experience was actually very simple. He went to school every day, completed his homework after school, and followed his master to learn medicine, practice martial arts, and keep fit.
A very monotonous life, but also a dazzling life!
Because everyone in the class knows whose apprentice he is!
That was Mr. Xiao, who was well-known in the field of Chinese medicine.
It was okay when I was in elementary school. Everyone was very simple and there was nothing particularly different.
But starting from junior high school and high school, he could clearly feel that the attitude of people in his class towards him was different.
Now Xiao Qing has just returned from studying at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, received her graduation certificate in advance, and started to officially sit in the hospital.
Life has always been smooth sailing for him, but now he suddenly has a new marriage, which makes him a little at a loss.
You know, his biggest regret in his life is that he doesn't know who his parents are, let alone why they abandoned him back then.
So he has been studying hard these years, just so that one day he can find his biological parents and ask them this question.
Because of this, while others were spending time talking about love, he was studying silently.
So much so that I am already twenty-three and I still don’t have a partner.
It's better now, I have a fiancée, and I don't have to fall in love anymore. What's the point?
