Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 426 Dissuasion

Song Ying naturally didn't believe Yuan Qing's so-called nervousness. He had been very confident in private before. Not only did he believe that he would pass the county exam, he was also fully confident about the prefectural exam. How could he be afraid of the case tomorrow?

This is clearly an excuse. The real purpose should be that he heard that Xu Chuan proposed marriage and came to care about her!

Song Ying felt warm in his heart and a little excited, but then he thought about the Yuan family's plan to let Yuan Qing follow suit and apply for the top prize. Yuan Qing seemed to approve of this plan. He thought that he came here purely out of concern for his fellow countrymen, and the excitement deep in his heart disappeared.

She replied in the same polite manner: "It's not a big deal, it's been resolved, thank you for your concern. Your nervousness is a common psychological condition, not a disease, and we doctors don't have any particularly good solutions.

I can give you some calming medicine capsules, but the effect won't be very obvious, the key is to adjust yourself."

"We have medicine bags that can calm the mind and spirit. In that case, we won't bother you anymore." Yuan Qing bowed and prepared to leave. The case was about to be investigated, and he would have to take the next exam soon, so he had to go back to review.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't need to spend too much time studying." Shen Jing was worried about going back after coming here. "Sister Song Ying, let me tell you, marriage is a major event in life. You can't easily agree to it."

Song Ying's forehead twitched. Although he knew that he meant well, he still couldn't help but want to curse, especially when he felt the inquiring eyes of the patients in the clinic: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Shen. Marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. Naturally, I will not agree to anyone."

Shen Jing was stunned. "If no one agrees, then who do you want to marry..."

"Brother Shen!" Yuan Qing shouted to stop him before he could finish.

He took a step forward and bowed to Song Ying and Ma Dada, "Doctor Ma, Doctor Song, please forgive me. Brother Shen has a kind heart and does not understand human feelings. He did not mean to be rude. Please forgive him for his good intentions."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when he raised his hand to bow, his raised left elbow inadvertently pushed Shen Jing towards the door.

"You're too kind. Mr. Shen means well." Song Ying responded very politely.

"Doctor Song is very tolerant," Yuan Qing bowed again, and raised his elbow to push Shen Jing, who was stunned and wanted to explain, out again, "In this case, we will not bother you anymore. Goodbye."

Because the two of them were in a hurry, they started asking as soon as they entered the room. They were not far from the door. With the previous push, Shen Jing had already reached the threshold. With this push, he had to step over the threshold.

"Walk slowly."

Shen Jing, who was standing outside the door, was completely confused. He wanted to open his mouth to explain himself again, but Yuan Qing had already turned around and was pulling him out.

Yuan Qing didn't let him go until they walked out of Huichun Hall and onto a less crowded street.

Shen Jing shook his hands and said speechlessly: "No, what are you doing? How did I offend Miss Song Ying?"

Yuan Qing was annoyed: "You are a man, you are not related to her, and you openly discuss marriage with a girl. Do you want her to be drowned in people's spit?"

"It's not as serious as you say. I just care about her." Shen Jing was also annoyed and felt that Yuan Qing was exaggerating. Not to mention that girls from ordinary peasant families were not so strict in this regard, even the daughters of officials would not be unable to say a few words.

His attitude made Yuan Qing frown even tighter, and he said seriously: "Brother Shen, you are a man and the son of the prefect, so you naturally don't care about these things, and few people dare to say these things in front of you.

But Song Ying is a woman. The world has more restrictions and harshness on them. She has no power to protect her. What you just said is enough to ruin her reputation and her life. Didn't you see that the way people in the room looked at you changed from the moment you said that? "

"Did they?" Shen Jing thought carefully, but his attention was on Song Ying just now, and he didn't even look at the other people in the room, so how could he remember their expressions.

Yuan Qing nodded and analyzed the situation with him carefully: "What you just said means that you and Song Ying are very close. If you don't let her agree to someone else's marriage proposal, does that mean she will agree to your proposal? If those people hear it, it means that you two are having an affair."

"These people are too idle. They care about strangers' affairs." Shen Jing cursed, and then said proudly: "We scholars should not care about other people's gossips and don't ask about other people's concerns. Sister Song Ying is courageous and resolute. As a woman studying medicine, I think she will not care about other people's gossips."

Although he spoke with great pride, a hint of guilt flashed across his face.

Yuan Qing frowned even more tightly. He used to think Shen Jing was straightforward and kind, but today he discovered that he was still terrifyingly naive.

"You are the son of a prefect, so people would at most call you a playboy. But Song Ying was born a peasant girl, so people would think she is shameless and is trying to curry favor with a powerful person like you. If you ruin your reputation, not only will it be hard to find a husband in the future, but your life might even be in danger."

Shen Jing was silent, and realized that he was indeed rash just now. After holding it in for a long time, he said hesitantly: "If it really doesn't work, I can marry Sister Song Ying. I will definitely not let her be unable to get married."

"Just daydreaming!" Yuan Qing's face darkened instantly and he cursed, "If you want to marry, just marry. Have you asked Song Ying? What's the difference between your behavior and that scholar? No, you are worse than him. He just coveted Song Ying's money, and you want to ruin her reputation!"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense! I just, I mean it's really not possible, it's just a hypothesis." Shen Jing denied it repeatedly.

"There is no such possibility!" Yuan Qing flatly denied his assumption, stared into his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have the final say on your marriage? Will your family let you marry a girl who is not a good match for you? There is no possibility between the two of you!"

His tone was powerful, especially the last sentence, which sounded very certain, making Shen Jing very angry. "How can it be impossible? It's possible for Du Liniang and Liu Mengmei, who were separated by life and death, so how can it be impossible for me and Sister Song Ying, two living people?"

"You believe the stories in operas?" Yuan Qing said, and then quickly brought the topic back to the topic, "It's getting late, let's go quickly, just remember one thing, be careful in front of others in the future, don't let her gossip."

Shen Jing agreed to this point and agreed angrily, and the two of them rushed back to the academy.

As soon as Song Ying returned in the evening, Luo Yanxing asked, "What happened to that scholar? Didn't he say yesterday that he would repay him with money if he passed the imperial examination? Why did he have such thoughts again? Did you guess it right?"
