Zhao was sitting on the bed meditating and practicing, working hard to absorb the inner energy in his body. Two branches of internal energy slowly moved through his body. Several knocks on the door interrupted him, and Shen Luoxia's movement was heard outside the door. He immediately stopped, withdrew his two internal forces into his Dantian, got out of bed and opened the door.
Shen Luoxia walked into the house with a smile. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said: "Brother, you are in debt outside.".
"I didn't borrow money from anyone else, so where did the debt come from?" Zhao Zheng asked in surprise.
"What you owe is not a financial debt, but a romantic debt. A doctor named Lin Jiyuan came here just now and wants to propose marriage to his granddaughter, saying that his granddaughter is attracted to you."
"Lin Jiyuan came to propose marriage?" Zhao Zheng was surprised. Lin Jiyuan had kicked him out before, and now he suddenly came to propose marriage. This was really inexplicable. After thinking about it, he suddenly felt blessed and figured out the whole thing.
I think Lin Jiyuan must not have wanted him to be with Lin Zhong'er, so he deliberately said harsh words to drive him away. After that, Lin Zhong'er must have had trouble with Lin Jiyuan. Lin Jiyuan was forced by his granddaughter to have no choice. I had no choice but to compromise, so I eagerly came here to propose marriage.
Lin Zhong'er is an honest girl. The fact that she can push her grandfather to this point proves that she really likes Zhao Zheng. The weight of this affection is really heavy, which makes Zhao Zheng feel a little unbearable.
"Yes, it's him who came here to propose marriage. From his tone, it seems that his granddaughter has no intention of marrying you unless you are the one." Shen Luoxia came over with a smile, winked and asked, "I have never seen that girl. ,is she good-looking?"
"She's pretty, but I don't like her." Zhao Zheng shook his head slowly, with no joy on his face.
"Do you really dislike her, or are you just shy?"
"After all, I am also a martial artist in Sanchongyao. How can I be shy about such a thing?"
"Oh, it's just as I guessed. How could you marry a girl who can't do martial arts?" Shen Luoxia sighed, "I really hope to see you get married and start a business, but if you don't like her, I will go and get this girl." I guess you refused the marriage proposal."
"This kind of thing is too embarrassing, so please ask sister to handle it for me. I won't come forward." Zhao Zheng said with a bitter smile.
"Okay." Shen Luoxia nodded in agreement, and then asked some questions about martial arts training. After talking, she left.
Zhao Zheng was the only one left in the room. The gentle girl with the pointed chin appeared in his mind, and he was slightly worried. After he rejected the marriage, Lin Zhonger would definitely be hit, which made him He couldn't bear it, but how could he force this kind of thing? He now only hoped that Lin Zhong'er would meet a good man in the future, marry into a good family, and have a happy life.
...Ordinary boudoirs are filled with floral or sandalwood fragrance, but what is diffused in this boudoir is medicinal fragrance. This fragrance is not coquettish, but very restrained, with a hint of bitterness.
The sun shines in through the window lattice paper, and the cold light is like frost, falling slantingly to the ground.
Lin Zhong'er was sitting on a chair, with a brocade handkerchief embroidered in her hand. What was embroidered on the brocade handkerchief was the most enviable creature in the world - the mandarin duck.
With a clear mind and skillful hands, she embroidered the two mandarin ducks vividly, and it was about to be completed. Next to the two mandarin ducks, there were two names written on each side, namely Zhao Zheng and Lin Zhonger. She hoped that she and Zhao In the future, she will be able to live together like this pair of mandarin ducks and spend a lifetime together. She does not seek glory, wealth or a bright future, but only seeks sweetness and growing old together.
Two days ago, Lin Jiyuan had gone to propose marriage on her behalf. When her grandfather decided to do this, she stopped her on the surface, but she was so happy that she blossomed in her heart. After that, she has been waiting in frustration, waiting.
A piece of good news has arrived.
Zhao Zheng rented a house to live next to their house a while ago, and also killed a thief who had sneaked into Yaojing with evil intentions. Lin Zhonger guessed that the reason why Zhao Zheng did this was that he must have fallen in love with her. This guess made her cheeky
The heat also made her heart beat faster.
Once again, she couldn't help but think of Zhao Zhengying's vigorous figure and his clothes fluttering like the wind.
"ah."
Because she was distracted, she accidentally pricked her index finger and screamed in pain.
A large drop of blood spilled from the fingertips and smeared on the brocade handkerchief, adding a meaningful blood color.
Lin Zhonger put her index finger into her mouth and sucked it. The blood droplets had a slightly salty taste. She wanted to wipe off the blood stained on the brocade handkerchief, but the blood stain had already spread along the silk.
The blood stained the brocade handkerchief looked so inconsistent, which made her feel uneasy. She decided to wash the brocade handkerchief before continuing to embroider it. It was time to go out to help her grandfather with the work in the hospital. She secretly took the brocade handkerchief
I washed it so Grandpa wouldn’t see it, and then hung it to dry in my room.
Everything in Huichun Medical Center was as usual. In the morning, several familiar patients came in. They were all elderly patients with minor ailments all over their bodies.
At noon, a special customer came into the hospital. He said she was special because she was so beautiful and because she brought many gifts wrapped in red cloth.
The one who came was none other than Shen Luoxia.
Lin Zhong'er hung up the medicine pestle in her hand and looked at Shen Luoxia who walked into the room. She was stunned after just one glance. This was the first time she saw such a charming and charming woman. Her phoenix eyes were filled with water.
, her skin was breakable, her figure was concave and convex, and her temperament was captivating. Looking at such a woman, she immediately felt that she was being compared.
When Lin Zhonger's eyes fell on the gift in Shen Luoxia's hands behind her, her heart sank in an instant, and it didn't stop until it reached the bottom.
She could recognize that these gifts wrapped in red cloth were given to Hongchen Inn by her grandfather.
Since this voluptuous woman and the servant behind her are carrying these gifts, it proves that they are all the servants of Hongchen Inn. That woman must be Shen Luoxia, who is famous for her beauty in Qibao County.
The setting clouds and lonely birds fly together, and the autumn water has the same color.
It certainly lives up to its reputation.
Shen Luoxia took all the gifts back, presumably to return them, which meant... Lin Zhonger didn't want to think about it anymore, and her face turned pale.
"This little girl must be Lingsun, right?" Shen Luoxia asked with a smile.
"It's my grandson Lin Zhong'er." Lin Ji saw that Shen Luoxia had brought back all the gifts he had sent. He was afraid that the marriage would be ruined, so he immediately raised his hand to lead the way, "The shopkeeper has come from afar, please come to the house quickly."
, we will discuss it in detail in the house."
Shen Luoxia smiled and nodded, looked at Lin Zhong'er a few more times, and then followed Lin Jiyuan to the backyard.
The waiter who followed put all the gifts on the ground and stood aside waiting silently.
Lin Zhong'er looked at those bright red gifts, and she could see that she was in a daze, as if her soul had wandered away.
It didn't take long for Shen Luoxia to come back from the backyard. With a slightly apologetic smile on her face, she said to Lin Zhong'er: "Miss Zhong'er, before I came here, my brother asked me to pay homage to Lin Zhong'er for him.
Say hello to you and wish you find a good marriage partner as soon as possible." After saying that, he drifted away, and the remaining fragrance diluted the medicinal fragrance in the room.
Lin Jiyuan then walked over, frowning, and said helplessly: "Zhong'er, that Zhao Zheng is blind and did not agree to this marriage, but don't be sad, I will definitely find you a better home than Zhao Zheng..."
Before Lin Jiyuan could finish speaking, Lin Zhonger had already rushed back to his room with tears in his eyes, closed the door, and locked himself in a closed world.
The mandarin duck brocade handkerchief hung on the clothesline in the room. Under the heat of the fire, the brocade handkerchief had become through and through, but the blood stains on it were still visible.
...Zuifeng Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Qibao County, and the room on the rooftop is the most expensive room in the restaurant.
There were three people sitting in the room, and three people standing in the room. Together, there were six people in total.
Those who sit down are of course the main ones, and those who stand behind are of course the subordinates.
Today's chief guests are Zhang Yuanwai, Zhou Yuanwai, and Luo Yuanwai. The people standing include Wei Buxiao and Luo Yuanwai's two nursing staff.
The guest at the banquet was Zhou Yuanwai from Huiwu. He claimed that he had important matters to discuss today and invited two other business partners here.
There was good wine and good food on the table, and half of it was already eaten, but Zhou Yuanwai still didn't say anything serious.
Zhang Yuanwai couldn't hold his breath anymore. He took a sip of the wine and then asked, "Brother Zhou Xian, we've almost finished our meal. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Don't be too pretentious."
"The reason why I didn't say it was not because I wanted to show off, but because I was worried that if I told you in advance, you two would not be in the mood to eat." Zhou Yuanwai smiled mysteriously.
"Is there anything that will make us unable to eat?" Zhang Yuanwai asked.
"You put the screen back, and then I'll talk to you again." Zhou Yuanwai said.
Zhang Yuanwai turned around and winked at Wei Buxiao as he was told, and Luo Yuanwai waved his hand behind him. The three standing people left the room, leaving only the three sitting people talking.
"There are no outsiders in the house, now I can say it." Zhou Yuanwai looked bright and stared, "I have a profitable business here, and I want to ask you two what you want, if this business is successful.
Now, I should be able to make a lot of money."
"Oh? What kind of deal?" Zhang Yuanwai immediately became interested.
The gloomy Luo Yuanwai also raised his eyebrows, silently waiting for Zhou Yuanwai's next words.
"A few months ago, a kind of elixir to strengthen yang was circulated in the brothels in Qibao County, called Hu*li Aphrodisiac Pill. The effect of the medicine is very significant. The price of this elixir is extremely expensive, but because of
It is highly effective, and there are still many people who are willing to buy it. Brother Zhang is one of them. It is said that you have bought more than a dozen pills." Zhou Yuanwai looked at Zhang Yuanwai with a half-smile but not a smile.
"The Hu*Li aphrodisiac pill is indeed miraculous, but what does this have to do with us?" Zhang Yuanwaiqian coughed, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face.
"Of course it does. In the few months since this elixir came out, many pills have been sold. According to my estimation, the income should be around 5,000 taels to 10,000 taels. This profit is already quite generous. If this kind of elixir can be sold
If the elixir is promoted to larger towns, or more refined, the money will definitely be more." Zhou Yuanwai's smile became wider, "Such a profitable business really makes Zhou very tempted."
