Chapter 537 Summoning
Chapter 537 Summoning
"Don't worry, I'm here to tell Master about my marriage. I'll be leaving in a moment."
"You didn't tell Doctor Lin about this before?" Xiaolu was very surprised. Song Ying's respect for Doctor Lin was obvious to all, but he didn't inform him in advance about such a big thing.
Song Ying scratched his head embarrassedly, "Isn't it that I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to spare the time?"
Everyone thought about it and realized that Song Ying had indeed not come to the mansion for a long time, so naturally they had no way of telling Doctor Lin.
Previously, they thought that Doctor Lin was a thoughtful person. She knew that the old man and the old lady wanted to marry Yuan Qing to the sixth young lady, but she didn't reveal a word of it. Now it seems that they were wrong about her.
"You're a miracle doctor now, and many people come to see you. I think Doctor Lin will understand. So go quickly, we won't keep you here. Doctor Lin should be in his yard right now."
Song Ying said goodbye to them and went to the courtyard.
"Master, you know about my marriage, right? I should have told you a long time ago, but I was busy recently."
How could Doctor Lin not know whether his disciple, who he had personally brought up, would be the type to neglect such an important matter?
Naturally, he also understood that she didn't tell him before because she didn't want to embarrass him.
"You, at such a young age, are thinking so much, and aren't you worried about your hair turning white early?" She felt very distressed. The girl was only fourteen years old, and it was the time for her to be willful.
Song Ying laughed happily, "I'm still young, I'm not afraid of gray hair."
This sentence also amused Doctor Lin, "Well, I have seen that child a few times. His eyes are clear and resolute. He is a man with his own ideas.
During the fire a few years ago, there was such a mess, and he was the first to notice you were gone. He was a thoughtful person."
Now, it was Song Ying's turn to feel embarrassed. "I'm the only acquaintance of his in the Shen Mansion, so naturally I pay more attention to him."
As the master and the disciple were talking, Chuntao came over and said, "Doctor Lin, the old lady knows that Sister Song Ying is here and wants to see her and talk."
Doctor Lin would naturally not stop the Shun'an County Lady from summoning him. Besides, the marriage had already been decided, and the government had also given up on Yuan Qing in the past two days, so there was nothing to worry about.
She smiled and stood up, "Okay, it's getting late. After seeing the old lady, you should go back quickly."
When Chuntao saw her stand up, she knew that she was going to accompany Song Ying, and once again she envied Song Ying for having such a good master.
Those who served closely understood exactly what the old lady and the old man meant, and Doctor Lin was no exception. However, he was still worried and wanted to accompany them personally.
Several people arrived at Ninghui Hall. Shen Wanting and her two sisters were also there, talking with County Master Shunan. It was very lively inside.
When Song Ying entered, he clearly felt that there were two extremely sharp gazes falling on him, like knives.
She knew it was Shen Wanyi without even looking.
Song Ying bowed to the Shunan County Lady according to the rules. When he looked up, he found that the Shunan County Lady looked older than before, and the fatigue in her eyes was even greater than before.
It seems that life is still not very comfortable.
Princess Shun'an was also looking at Song Ying. The last time she saw Song Ying was in the first month of the lunar year when Song Ying came to pay her respects and wish her a happy new year.
After looking at her for a while, she sighed, "Ah, time flies. The skinny little girl back then has grown into a graceful young lady in the blink of an eye. We old ladies are also getting older."
Song Ying lied with his eyes open, "I think the old lady is more energetic than before."
The Shunan County Lady pointed at Song Ying and said to Doctor Lin with a smile, "Look, he's become a little miracle doctor, and his words are so sweet that I like to hear them."
Doctor Lin smiled.
The Shunan County Lady waved at Song Ying again, motioning her to come closer. She took Song Ying's hand and looked at her carefully for a while. "She has really grown into a big girl. This marriage is a good one. I think Yuan Qing is a good match. It's a good match."
Song Ying pursed her lips, looking shy.
Suddenly, she felt a chill on her wrist. When she looked again, she saw that Lady Shun'an had put a light blue bracelet with excellent water content on her wrist.
She hurriedly tried to take the bracelet back, "Madam, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
The Shunan County Lady still held her hand, not letting her take the bracelet off her wrist. "It's a gift from the elder, I dare not refuse. Wear it. Your master and I have been good sisters for half our lives. Her apprentices are no different from my three granddaughters."
This was of course just polite talk, and Song Ying wouldn't take it seriously. She looked at Doctor Lin and saw her nod slightly, so she didn't refuse anymore and said, "Thank you, old lady."
Princess Shun'an was concerned about the wedding date again, and Song Ying naturally said that they would have to wait until she reached the age of 15 before the family could discuss and decide.
She then said, "The wedding date must be set, but it can't be like this time. You have to tell me and your master early so that we can prepare your dowry."
Song Ying shyly agreed.
After all, Princess Shun'an was old and in poor health. After talking for a while, she became a little tired, so Song Ying stood up and said goodbye.
The old lady agreed and asked Shen Wanting and her sister to go back to eat, leaving only Doctor Lin to talk.
Time makes people grow old, and the elderly feel it more deeply. Especially today, seeing the shy and timid girls in their teens talking about marriage, she couldn't help but think of her own youth, which was also so lively and full of expectations. What a pity...
After Song Ying left Ninghui Hall, Chuntao and other maids from the main courtyard couldn't help but congratulate her, but considering Shen Wanyi and her sister, they didn't say much.
Song Ying also understood the situation. He thanked them politely and prepared to leave before the three sisters of the Shen family came out.
Unexpectedly, Shen Wanyun stopped her and said, "Sister Song Ying, I have to congratulate you! When I saw you two talking outside on the pleasure boat that day, I knew it would be a happy marriage between childhood sweethearts."
"Sixth Miss, please be careful with your words." Song Ying's face changed. He didn't expect that Shen Wanyun actually saw it that day.
Shen Wanyi's face also darkened. She thought of that night, and how Shen Wanyun stopped her when she wanted to open the window to get some fresh air. Then, looking at Shen Wanyun's current meaningful expression and tone, it was easy for her to guess.
Shen Wanyun smiled and said, "It's just a few words. Who in our house would say such nonsense?"
After the initial panic, Song Ying quickly calmed down. The marriage was already settled, so even if Shen Wanyun saw the hairpin Yuan Qing gave her that day, it would not be a big deal to tell her.
But she really didn't want to stay in Shen's house any longer, so she said, "It's getting late, I'll take my leave first."
Shen Wanyun glanced at Shen Wanyi's ugly face. Her goal had been achieved, so she didn't force her to stay.
Watching Song Ying's receding figure, she feigned a smile and murmured, "Sister Song Ying is truly blessed. Who could have imagined that the skinny day laborer would transform into a scholar's wife?"
After saying that, he fanned himself twice and clicked his tongue, then prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, someone grabbed her wrist. Shen Wanyun was startled. When she looked up, she met Shen Wanyi's murderous gaze and was immediately frightened.
