Chapter 873 Help Tang Yin propose a marriage
Xia Kuan's mother was seriously ill. The family was not untied and took care of her at the bed. At this time, she went to propose marriage. Not only did Xia Kuan not agree, but her friends would not have to do anything in the future.
Tang Yin looked ashamed. He only thought about other people's sister and never considered so many details.
Tang Yin said with a bitter face: "Thank you, Shen Zhongcheng, for reminding me, this is the reason, but if you can't go down to propose marriage, the old lady has a few shortcomings, then... Isn't it... I'll let me wait for three years?"
Tang Yin had never seen Xia Kuan's mother before, and he didn't know how Xia Kuan's mother was in. But judging from the current situation, the old lady Xia was very ill.
If they fail, Xia Kuan and her sister will have to have a three-year compliance system. They cannot marry during this period, and Tang Yin will not be able to wait for three years before proposing marriage. This matter will be considered a shame.
Chen Xi said: "It's good to know, so Brother Bohu would be better for Mrs. Xia in his heart, hoping that the auspicious person will have a heavenly appearance. After this disaster, you can come to propose marriage... With Mr. Qingshan's reasonableness, he may not agree."
Xia Kuan's sister is quite beautiful and values filial piety. Although her family is average, she is from a scholarly family and she has no worries about marriage, but the problem is that Miss Xia once betrothed someone and died before she passed away, and she has no reason to be known as "harming her husband".
Xia Kuan cannot give her sister too much dowry, and things have been delayed after a while. Now Miss Xia is almost nineteen years old and has not betrothed. I am afraid that Mrs. Xia and Xia Kuan are also very anxious because the girl will be forcibly married by the government after she reaches the age of 20. At that time, the betrothed may be a dilapidated house. Even if the government is merciful, there is a high chance of begging to a vulgar man who is illiterate.
Logically speaking, Tang Yin’s chance of success when he went to propose marriage was quite high.
No matter what, Tang Yin said, he was the Yingtian Prefecture's provincial examination and learning Yuan Dynasty. He was very good at poetry and painting, and it was difficult to have a rival in the Ming Dynasty. Tang Yin is now a staff member in the governor's yamen. He has a salary of 25 taels per month. Even if he takes ten taels to repay his debts, he still has fifteen taels of silver. It is not a big problem to support his wife, children, and young people.
Originally, it was just a matter of willingness to marry, but at this time, Mrs. Xia was ill in bed, and Xia Kuan was famous for filial piety. Such scholars valued the most, and did not want to be safe in their later years.
In the face of my sister's lifelong happiness and her good reputation for filial piety, Xia Kuan must have chosen her reputation, because Xia Kuan will think that it is natural for her sister to keep filial piety for me.
After Chen Xi said this, he was about to enter the inner hall. Tang Yin followed him like a follower. He waited in the room and said with a shameless face: "Shen Zhongcheng, please help me think of a solution. All my lifelong affairs will be placed on you."
Chen Xi sat down at the desk beside the window, picked up the official document, and said coldly: "Brother Bo Hu means that I have the ability to be in heaven, and can rejuvenate my old lady Xia's stubborn disease? Or is this official using his power to suppress others and force Mr. Qingshan to marry his sister to you?"
Tang Yin stammered and said, "I don't have this intention."
It is also said that there is no such meaning, but it is clearly this meaning.
Now it is clear that I will be kicked out of the house when I go to the Xia family to propose marriage. Even if I have a certain authority as a third-rank governor, Xia Kuan dare not refuse, it is only because I proposed marriage for myself that I can do this effect. I will help you Tang Yin, and then Xia Kuan will immediately know that you are the toad who wants to eat swan meat?
Chen Xi waved his hand: "This matter ends here, unless..."
Tang Yin was already in a state of dismay, and when he heard Chen Xi say the word "unless", he rekindled his hope: "Shen Zhongcheng, tell me quickly, unless what?"
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "Unless Brother Bo Hu signed a three-year staff contract with me and promised to do a good job for me in these three years. In terms of salary, ten taels of silver per month, and the debts owed before can be cancelled, so the official can consider helping you."
Tang Yin then realized that Chen Xi had a solution, but he didn't want to give him a shot. After thinking for a while, he couldn't guess what other way Chen Xi could do besides using power to suppress others. Originally, Tang Yin hated those in power and was the victim himself, but now Chen Xi could only help him to win over Miss Xia, who was like a governor, and could not help but be moved.
After three years of "selling a contract", I have a wife and a job, and I have to be face and have a good time, and I have to be proud and show off. No matter how I calculate it, I won’t suffer any loss.
Tang Yin widened his eyes: "What if Shen Zhongcheng couldn't tell the marriage in the end?"
Chen Xi smiled and said, "I am a trustworthy and wise man. Since I cannot make it, the contract will be invalid. What does Brother Tang think?"
Tang Yin was willing in his heart, but he still had to show his unwillingness. Finally, he gritted his teeth: "A word is so good that it is hard to catch up. This contract is signed!"
...
...
After signing the contract, Tang Yin waited to be the groom and became motivated to do things. After working in the governor's office for several days, he found that Chen Xi seemed to have forgotten about this matter.
Tang Yin was so angry that he was lying to me. His feelings were lying to sign a contract for sale! He immediately went to Chen Xi to argue, but Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I have to wait for another day or two."
Tang Yin was angry: "Wait for another day or two, maybe the Xia family will hold a mourning. I heard some old friends of Tingsu brothers talk about that Mrs. Xia's illness has been delayed for several years, and she is afraid that her life will end."
Chen Xidao: "If you have the ability, go by yourself to see if Mr. Qingshan will give you face, otherwise everything will be done as I said!"
In this kind of thing, Chen Xi didn't want to explain too much to Tang Yin... Xia Kuan's mother is almost dying of illness, so she would marry her sister to you so easily? Xia Kuan is the eldest son and the eldest brother is his father. He is responsible for his sister and will be willing to marry her sister to a false Taoist school that takes advantage of others' danger?
Chen Xi has only done one thing in the past few days, which is to send people to visit famous doctors in Guangzhou City, and invite these famous doctors to go outside the city to see Xia Kuan’s mother.
With Xia Kuan's wealth, he could not hire a famous doctor. In addition to winning Xia Kuan's reputation for filial piety, Chen Xi's move also added points to Tang Yin in front of the Xia family.
Look, it’s just a friend. After a few days of knowing each other, I have been finding so many doctors to treat your mother at home. Such a person is simply a role model of the times!
But Tang Yin knew nothing about this. He only knew that Chen Xi broke the appointment. The first thing he did when he returned to the inn at night was to get the bag roll. Since he had agreed that the contract would only work if I had married my wife, even if I left quietly, it would not be considered a breach of the contract!
I am a talented man in Jiangnan. What's the point of being an employer who only knows how to use conspiracy with you? At worst, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha will end his life after he goes back!
Tang Yin was drunk, and early the next morning, he was woken up by a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, Ma Jiu stood in front of the door and said, "Young Master Tang, the carriage has been prepared outside. The master said he would take you to Xia Mansion."
Tang Yin felt a little dizzy because he drank a few more drinks, but since he was going to Xia Mansion, he quickly cleaned up and went out whether it was for the purpose of proposing marriage or not.
When Tang Yin came to the street outside, it was already bright and there were already many pedestrians on the street. Chen Xi glared at him, and without even saying a word, pointing to the carriage parked at the intersection, and jumped onto the horse. Tang Yin hurried forward and protested dissatisfiedly: "Why are Shen Zhongcheng riding a horse, why are you getting off the car?"
Chen Xi was a little surprised: "Brother Bo Hu can ride a horse?"
Tang Yin's anger came from his heart. The first time I saw you was in the capital. At that time, I rode a tall horse with a group of servants behind me. What a glory?
You actually asked me if I could ride a horse!
Times have changed, and Chen Xi was the same as him at that time, but he is still the Jie Yuan. Chen Xi is already a third-rank governor.
Chen Xi waved his hand, and a personal guard immediately gave up the horse and stuffed the reins into Tang Yin's hand.
Tang Yin turned over and relied the feeling of being condescending, and felt very unfamiliar. Then the group left the Great East Gate of Guangzhou, crossed the mountains and rivers, Yangjiyuan, and headed southeast. Tang Yin did not speak along the way. After about an hour, he finally arrived in front of the Xiafuyuan.
After hearing Chen Xi and Tang Yin’s visit, Xia Kuan welcomed him this time higher than last time. He went out to greet him in person and helped them hold the horse’s head to show respect.
"Shen Zhongcheng, Brother Tang, please come in."
Xia Kuan invited the two of them into the wood gate, but still did not invite them into the room. He just sat in the yard in front. After Chen Xi and Tang Yin sat down this time, Xia Kuan did not sit with him, but stood respectfully.
Tang Yin looked at him curiously and thought to himself what was going on?
After a while, Tang Yin couldn't help but be about to ask a question. A white-haired old man walked out of the room. This old man was a famous doctor in Guangzhou. After he came out, Xia Kuan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Qu, I don't know about my mother's illness..."
Dr. Qu shook his head: "The chronic disease is severe, the disease is penetrated into the bone marrow. Do your best to do your best and leave your fate. Prepare for the funeral. Alas!"
A word made Xia Kuan look like earthy face. After Doctor Qu prescribed the medicine, he took the servant away. Xia Kuan immediately prepared to go out to get the medicine. Chen Xi winked at Tang Yin. Tang Yin was a smart person, so he quickly stood up: "Brother Tingsu, let me do the medicine after I come down."
Xia Kuan was a little embarrassed: "Brother Tang has been employed by famous doctors these days, but he has never expressed his gratitude, but how can he let Brother Tang spend money again?"
Tang Yin suddenly became confused. When did I hire a doctor? Then he glanced at Chen Xi, who seemed to be smiling, and immediately understood what was going on. It was not that the relationship was not helping, but that it was progressing step by step.
"Where is it, the old lady is seriously ill, I'm just doing my best." Tang Yin said beautiful scenes.
Xia Kuan was short of money and had to hand over the medicine to Tang Yin, which made him feel better about Tang Yin. When he looked back and faced Chen Xi again, a man in his thirties had already begun to wipe his tears.
Chen Xidao: "Sir, don't worry. If a doctor fails, please invite a few more people back. Lingtang's disease will always be cured."
Xia Kuan sighed: "I am a little familiar with medical skills. My mother's disease is an old and stubborn disease. After aging, she will not cure her illness for a long time. It is already a medicine stone that has no effect..."
Chen Xi asked with a little sadness on his face, "But I don't know what I can help?"
Xia Kuan salutes: "Thank you and Brother Tang for your kindness. My mother's illness is really God's will. I am already preparing for my funeral. I just want to let my mother go more peacefully. After observing the system, I will definitely drive you to the adults."
He said this, which meant he refused to be an aide to the governor's office again.
Tang Yin has arranged for someone to buy medicine now. After hearing Xia Kuan's words, he quickly winked at Chen Xi. The meaning is very obvious: "Although Xia Kuan has a good impression of me now, he will not entrust his sister rashly. Don't he really plan to let me wait for three years? Oh no, you signed a three-year contract with me, won't you just wait for this one, right?"
Chen Xi suddenly said, "Mr. Qingshan, I have heard that there is a law that may make Lingtang's illness cure without medicine!"
When Xia Kuan heard this, he immediately asked excitedly: "Please speak with Master Shen!"
Even Tang Yin glared at him.
There is actually a magic pill? Why not take it out earlier?
Even if you have a magic pill, I will give it to me first. I will give it to Xia Kuan. Only after he is cured will Xia Kuan be grateful for his kindness and marry his sister to me.
Now you have taken it out and cured the old lady's illness. Should the Xia family remember your love or me? (To be continued.)
