Chapter 163 I heard that Lin Jianshi has not married yet
Lin Jin was startled.
Now everyone in the Shi family is like a pack of hungry wolves staring at the fat, including Shi Wenjun.
Before Lin Jin could react, everyone had already rushed forward.
"Master Lin's skills are superb. It's a great honor to see Master Lin making elixirs."
"Master Lin is really an expert in alchemy. I have some unclear points about alchemy, so I would like Master Lin to give me some advice."
"Master Lin..."
Everyone in the Shi family swarmed around him, and the forest was so big at the end of the forest.
Fortunately, the fourth uncle over there coughed and reminded everyone, and then it stopped.
"Master Lin Jian, I have learned a lesson today. Sure enough, there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world. If Master Lin doesn't dislike it, he will stay today and have a simple meal. We can also take the opportunity to ask Master Lin for advice on alchemy."
way."
My fourth uncle was very respectful at this time.
Lin Jin realized at this time that he should have copied the steps and methods of alchemy in the Beast Museum, otherwise the Shi family would not have reacted like this.
Just ask for advice and guidance.
It's not that Lin Jin is stingy, it's just that he really doesn't know much about alchemy. If he gives me some advice, it will definitely reveal his secret.
So Lin Jin simply refused.
Do not have time.
Everyone in the Shi family didn't think anything was wrong. After all, it was impossible to point out an alchemy technique of this level like the Lingbao Dan Sutra casually, and they wouldn't agree to it.
Now that the elixir was refined, Lin Jin had other things to do, so he naturally said goodbye and left.
Shi Wenjun sent each other off, and when Shi Wenjun came back, he saw his fourth uncle discussing countermeasures with others.
There are no outsiders now, and they talk a lot more freely.
I heard the fourth uncle say at this time: "Master Lin is young and promising. He is not only a second-level beast appraiser, but also proficient in alchemy. Do you know if he is married or has a wife?"
Everyone is a smart person and understands what the fourth uncle means.
However, they really didn't know Lin Jin very well, so when they saw Shi Wenjun coming in, they quickly asked.
Shi Wenjun specifically investigated Lin Jin's details and learned a lot about him.
"Master Lin is not married, but he did have an engagement!" Before Shi Wenjun finished speaking, his fourth uncle became anxious: "He has an engagement? To whom?"
"Chen family!" Shi Wenjun replied.
"What!"
Everyone in the Shi family was shocked. In the past few years, the Chen family, which also opened a medicine shop, had come up from behind. In the field of medicine shop, it had suppressed the Shi family. They were enemies in the same industry. When they heard that Lin Jin was actually engaged to the Chen family, they immediately
I can't sit still anymore.
Especially the fourth uncle, his expression changed at this moment: "Oh no, the Chen family has surpassed us in the medicine business. Now if Master Lin is dragged over, how can our Shi family survive with Master Lin's alchemy skills?"
.”
When everyone heard this, they all looked sad and despairing.
Shi Wenjun chuckled: "Fourth uncle, Master Lin once had an engagement with the Chen family, but the engagement was broken by the Chen family not long after."
The fourth uncle and everyone were stunned.
That expression clearly meant that the Chen family were fools, right? Chen Wenlin had his head kicked by a donkey? How could he do such a stupid thing?
Shi Wenjun added: "I have learned about this matter before. Lin Jianshi behaves in a low-key manner, does not fight for anything, and has not shown his edge before, while Chen Wenlin is a hypocrite, superficially righteous, but actually selfish. He initially looked at
Shang Lin officially became an appraiser, but later he was targeted and suppressed by the then president of the Appraiser Association, and was in a bad situation. In addition, his daughter insisted on breaking up the marriage, so he agreed. I heard that later
It was only when Master Lin showed his talents that he regretted it. He actively tried to find Master Lin to ease the relationship several times, but failed."
"Haha, you deserve it!" The fourth uncle jumped up happily: "God helps my Shi family, God helps my Shi family."
Shi Wenjun already knew what his fourth uncle was planning and wanted to say something, but he held back and remained silent.
After all, the fourth uncle also thinks about the family.
"Wen Bing, your daughter Hui Lin happens to be in her twenties and is smart and virtuous, so she can be listed as a candidate; Lao Wu, your granddaughter Ruotong is about the same age and one year younger than Hui Lin, so she can also be listed as a candidate."
The fourth uncle was rubbing his hands to make arrangements, and Shi Wenbing and the fifth uncle had no objections.
By marrying a girl from the Shi family to Lin Jin, you can win over this master of alchemy who masters the Lingbao Alchemy Sutra. This is a sure-profit deal.
At this time, someone said: "It would be great if we could get him to marry me."
The fourth uncle frowned and reprimanded: "We asked Lin Jianshi, not him who asked us to marry him. Do you think it is Wu Chenwei, that good-for-nothing..."
Halfway through, the fourth uncle realized that he had made a mistake and fell silent.
Everyone's expressions changed, and the atmosphere was awkward. After all, Shi Wenjun was here, and Shi Wenjun had just announced his divorce and kicked Wu Chenwei out of the Shi family in the morning.
Wu Chenwei was naturally disgraced by this incident, but the Shi family was also disgraced.
Shi Wenjun's expression remained unchanged at this time, and he stood up and said: "I understand what my fourth uncle meant. Using marriage to win over useful people has been a good strategy since ancient times. As the head of the Shi family, I also agree to make good friends with Master Lin, but in this case
It’s not advisable to do things too hastily, otherwise it will be counterproductive.”
Everyone in the Shi family nodded.
When planning a marriage for someone, you must first find out what they want, otherwise a good thing may turn into a bad thing.
Regarding Wu Chenwei, no one mentioned it again. After all, Shi Wenjun is now the head of the Shi family. Shi Wenjun divorced his husband and no one else could interfere. Besides, they had already disliked Wu Chenwei. The fourth uncle said more than once that he was worthy of his marriage.
Not like Wenjun.
It's really not worthy.
Therefore, I just divorced him. With Shi Wenjun's age, appearance, background and abilities, it would not be difficult to recruit another son-in-law.
But soon, a piece of news reached the Shi family, causing a huge shock.
In the afternoon, the Chen Family Medicine Store suddenly started selling finished elixirs, and they were the same as those sold by the Shi Family, and the prices were even lower.
This time, the Shi family couldn't sit still.
In the past, the Chen family had suppressed the Shi family in the medicine store business, and the elixir business had become the lifeblood of the Shi family.
Now, the Chen family has also started to do this business. The most important thing is that the pills they sell are the same as those of the Shi family. This is killing the Shi family.
It is conceivable that once the elixir business is taken away by the Chen family, the Shi family will inevitably collapse.
So Shi Wenjun immediately became anxious.
By the time it got dark, the people sent by the Shi family had already conveyed all the news back.
Basically two things are certain.
One thing is that Wu Chenwei and Chen Wenlin have joined forces, and the other thing is that the pills sold by the Chen family are absolutely inseparable from Wu Chenwei.
Although there is no direct evidence to prove this, anyone with a brain can imagine it.
Originally, even if the Chen family wanted to engage in elixir business and could hire an alchemist, they did not have any elixir prescriptions.
Danfang is the real core secret.
Now the elixirs sold by the Chen Family Medicine Store are the same as those sold by the Shi Family Medicine Store. This can only mean one thing. Wu Chenwei used some unknown method to steal the Shi Family's elixir formula and gave it to the Chen Family.
In the hall of the Shi family, the shopkeepers from their various medicine shops came, all with anxious expressions on their faces.
"My boss, let's report it to the officials and accuse the Chen family of stealing." A shopkeeper couldn't help but stood up and said.
