Raiders of the favorite concubine of Qing Dynasty

Chapter 18 Yan Ran's Story

I am no match for Qin Yu's stamina, so I had no choice but to say, "Brother Qin, I have to rest."

Qin Yu didn't seem to hear it. After a while, when I couldn't help but want to speak out again, he walked towards the door. Before closing the door, I heard his voice, "What do you think of the doctor?" It was the first time I heard I noticed that there was some emotion in his tone, I couldn't tell whether it was helplessness or sadness, but in short, he was unhappy.

"A doctor saves lives and heals the wounded, just like reborn parents." I don't know why he asked this question, everyone has their own past, so I answered truthfully.

"Really?" Qin Yu asked impatiently, and I heard that he urgently needed affirmation.

"Really, don't they all say that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda? Doctors save lives and heal the wounded. I don't know how many lives they have saved in their life. They are truly immeasurable merits." Every time I said a word, Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and his voice There was a moment of silence, he must be thinking of something standing at the door, I dare not disturb him, after a while he seemed to understand, left a thank you and left.

I don't understand why the profession of doctors was considered lowly in ancient times. If the heirs of famous families practiced medicine, they would basically be excluded by the family, and in severe cases, they would even be kicked out of the family.I don't care about Qin Yu's past, and I don't expect me to be able to justify the profession of doctors, hoping to relieve the confusion in his heart.

In the next three days, as Fulin said, he hurried on his way.It should not be far from Beijing to Mount Wutai, and one month should be more than enough time. Fulin's chess game is too deep for me to understand.

On the fourth day, we came to a bustling small county called Litai.I have never heard of this place name, but I just inferred the route from Beijing to Wutai Mountain and the distance we traveled, and it should not have left Hebei yet.According to Fulin, we are going to stay here for a few days, hurry up and spend a few days in the same place, is there any important thing or important person here?After thinking about it for a while, I feel that it is boring, and if I think about it, there is no benefit for a dime.

On the first day in Litai, Fulin told me to stay in the inn, and took Qin Yu out. Maoyan and Jinglu were not familiar with each other, and they came and went without a trace. Secretly don't know where to go.I used it early, and I went back to my room to sleep when I was bored.It's a pity that I drive the carriage every day. I basically fell asleep when I was bumping and bumping. Go out and have a look.

I saw men and women sitting on small benches in the center of the inn lobby, and a storyteller had just appeared on the stage.I was also in a good mood, and asked Xiaoer to serve melon seeds and walnuts and pour a cup of tea, looking at the stage with relish.

There was a lot of discussion in the audience, and I understood it. The storyteller on the stage is the most famous storyteller in Litai.It is said that the last time I talked about Zhuge Liang’s empty city plan in the story of the Three Kingdoms, this time it is time to continue. To be honest, I have read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms a lot, and I often read the 36 strategies, but I forget it after reading it and never remember it. Listening to storytelling today, I don't know if there is any difference.

"Today, it is reasonable to talk about Zhuge Liang's empty city plan last time, but I heard a story a few days ago. I don't know if I will tell this story today. Do you agree?" The storyteller said straight to the point when he was ready.

After a few bursts of regret from the audience, there was thunderous applause, and I'm fine, just to pass the time.

The gentleman cleared his throat and began the story.

This story takes place in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. The Shen family, the most prestigious family in the town, went bankrupt overnight.The members of the Shen family who used to be arrogant can only be defeated by all the passers-by pointing at them like a lost dog.The former prominence of the Shen family is even more ironic at this moment, and it is also more painful to be caught on the Shen family.

Finally, a woman began to cry, followed by a middle-aged man's yelling: "Why are you crying? If you were not blind and insisted on marrying this idiot who is short-sighted and sees money, how could our Shen family have fallen into poverty?" To this field?"

This woman is Shen Yiran, the only daughter of the Shen family, and the man the middle-aged man cursed is her husband Lu Jiangping.I still remember that when Shen Yiran first saw Lu Jiangping who was poor and had to sell paintings on the street, she fell in love with him. Later, she resolutely married him regardless of her family's obstruction and regardless of whether Lu Jiangping was already engaged.After 6 years, the luxurious wedding that caused a sensation in the whole town, and the slender woman who followed the wedding procession all the way, made people linger, although no one remembered what happened to the woman later, and no one Concerned about why this woman did this.

Unexpectedly, the son-in-law, who was originally disliked by the Shen family, is getting more attention day by day.Lu Jiangping is a smart man. Although he married Shen Yiran, he knew that in order to get the approval of his father-in-law and everything in the Shen family, he must first rely on himself to get ahead.The next year he passed the high school exams, and winning the exam meant that one foot had already stepped into an official career. Even if he failed in the exam, he would still have the opportunity to be an academic officer and a county magistrate.The Shen family was originally a merchant family and was well versed in the ways of officials and businessmen. If Lu Jiangping became an official in the future, the Shen family would have more protection.The Shen family became more polite to this young master, completely lost the previous dislike, and instead kept praising their daughter for her long-sightedness.

Another year later, Lu Jiangping had already obtained an official position, and he was doing well in the officialdom. The Shen family needed to rely on him to manage some business affairs.The Shen family was even more satisfied with the son-in-law, and Master Shen even secretly gave him some of the Shen family's business.

From then on, Lu Jiangping took the Shen family into his own hands bit by bit, but the well-known son of the Shen family gradually became out of favor, wandered around in search of pleasure, and eventually lost his fighting spirit and lost his life. And for this reason, including those brothers who were born and died, Mr. Shen thought until his death, were also arranged by Lu Jiangping.A smooth day will breed arrogance. With the Shen family's status and Lu Jiangping's status, he has nothing to fear. His overwhelming self-confidence always makes people overestimate himself.

The Yuanchun Tower in the small town is a famous brothel, and the top brand in it, Xie Yu, has won thousands of favors. Many men come here especially for the beauty, and are willing to spend all their wealth for the beauty.Lu Jiang has always shown himself to others by keeping himself clean, so he would never set foot in this place of fireworks.Fascinated by Xieyu, there was a merchant from other places who refused to leave in order to understand Yuyu. He stayed in Yuanchunlou every day. No one knew his origin or identity. They only heard that this merchant was generous. The family is rich, and the money seems to be endless. I heard that merchants are willing to redeem Xie Yu's body with a thousand taels of gold, but Xie Yu refuses.As for the fat on the chopping board, Lu Jiangping would not let it go. He still carefully inquired about the origin of the merchant, and also sent someone to contact him secretly. After planning for a year, he thought he was sure of winning. Trying to be too clever, but fell into the trap of others.
