Tang Mingxuan didn't expect him to say it so frankly, but he was not afraid.
He narrowed his eyes and said, "Then let's have a fair competition and see who can win his heart in the end!"
Mo Lingyue nodded heavily: "Okay!"
When it was almost dawn, Mo Lingyue fainted in the ice bucket.
Tang Mingxuan quickly carried him out and found that his body was terribly hot.
Doctor Lin said calmly, "He has a high fever. I expected this. Hurry and give him the fever-reducing medicine!"
Tang Mingxuan fed him medicine, but he refused to drink it.
He kept calling Xiaoruan's name and even said sorry over and over again.
Doctor Lin was immediately puzzled and asked, "Mingxuan, what's going on between him and Xiaoruan?"
Tang Mingxuan replied with a complicated expression, "He likes Miss Xiaoruan, but because she doesn't want to marry far away, his proposal was rejected. His cousin wanted to make it a done deal with him, so she used this dirty drug to harm him!"
Doctor Lin couldn't help but sigh: "City Lord Mo is really pitiful. No wonder he would rather suffer than go to a brothel to find a woman. It seems that he is really in love with Xiaoruan!"
Tang Mingxuan couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin, a forced melon is not sweet!"
Doctor Lin suddenly laughed. He looked Tang Mingxuan up and down and asked in a low voice, "What about you? Why haven't you taken any action yet? Don't think I don't know that you miss Xiaoruan too!"
Tang Mingxuan's face flushed immediately. He swallowed hard and said, "Mr. Lin, with my current status, how can I be worthy of Xiaoruan? I'm afraid she doesn't like me!"
Old Doctor Lin also liked this boy very much. Since he came to the capital, he often came to the Lin Mansion to help him dry the herbs and do some work within his ability.
Although his official position in the Hanlin Academy is not high, it is very stable.
Isn't the purpose of life to have stability?
Since Xiaoruan doesn't want to marry far away, Tang Mingxuan is the best candidate.
He reached out and patted his shoulder: "Mingxuan, I have high hopes for you. Don't underestimate yourself. Your temperament is no worse than those of the noble sons in the capital. You are helpful and have a clear sense of right and wrong. You are suitable to be the son-in-law of my Lin family!"
Tang Mingxuan was immediately greatly encouraged. His eyes sparkled as he asked, "Really? Mr. Lin, do you think I can do this?"
Doctor Lin nodded heavily: "I'm not lying to you, you can do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of violent coughing in the room.
Old Doctor Lin and Tang Mingxuan looked at each other and hurried into the house.
At this time, Mo Lingyue had already woken up, and he looked at the old doctor Lin with a hint of resentment in his eyes.
He said aggrievedly, "Old Doctor Lin, you only think Tang Mingxuan is suitable to be the son-in-law of the Lin family, so what about me?"
Doctor Lin couldn't help but say: "Your character is naturally impeccable, but you are the Lord of Jingcheng. From the perspective of conditions alone, you are not suitable. Xiaoruan will not marry far away!"
Mo Lingyue clutched the quilt beneath him tightly. Yes, the identity of the Lord of Jingcheng became a huge gap between him and Lin Xiaoruan.
He couldn't jump over it, and she didn't want to jump over it at all.
Are he and she destined to be apart in this life?
Thinking of this, his heart ached.
It has come to this point, he doesn't want to let go!
Especially when he saw Tang Mingxuan marrying her, he would be really jealous to death.
Sensing his emotional fluctuations, Old Doctor Lin quickly advised: "Ling Yue, there are so many beautiful women in this world, you will definitely meet the one who belongs to you. What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself and not worry too much, otherwise this cold will kill you!"
Mo Lingyue pleaded in a trembling voice, "Mr. Lin, I want to ask Xiaoruan again, does she really not want to choose me? Jingcheng is not too far from the capital. If she wants to come back, she can come back anytime!"
Doctor Lin comforted her: "Wait until you recover before asking her. Her marriage won't be decided for a while, so don't be too anxious!"
However, just as he finished speaking, he saw a servant coming in and said, "Master, the young lady has arranged a banquet at the mansion and invited many young men from the noble families in the capital to come in and meet Miss Xiaoruan. Please come over and show your face!"
Doctor Lin was stunned: "When was this decided? How come I don't know?"
Xiao Si explained: "It was already booked yesterday, but you were busy at the pharmacy, so I didn't let you know!"
Doctor Lin quickly warned the bewildered Tang Mingxuan and Mo Lingyue, "What are you two still standing there for? She's about to meet someone else, and you're just sitting there waiting for her to die?"
Tang Mingxuan was the first to react. He quickly said, "Then I'll go take a look ahead!"
Mo Lingyue gnashed his teeth behind him, "Tang Mingxuan, you can't just think about yourself. Didn't we agree to compete fairly? You're going to abandon me!"
Tang Mingxuan subconsciously looked at Doctor Lin, only to see him immediately spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I can't help him!"
Tang Mingxuan had no choice but to accept his fate and help the pale Mo Lingyue up. The two of them staggered as they walked quickly towards the front yard.
At this time, several noble ladies had come to the teahouse, accompanied by the young men who wanted to meet Lin Xiaoruan.
You know what, those guys are all good-looking.
Especially the young man from the Minister of War's Mansion, who was wearing a blue brocade robe, which made his face look handsome, gentle and elegant.
Tang Mingxuan recognized this person. He was his colleague in the Hanlin Academy. His name was Pan Ziheng.
Mrs. Pan was introducing her son to Lin Yiwan. "My son, Ziheng, has been well-read since he was young. Although his father was a military commander, he loves literature. So, he's now working as a book editor at the Hanlin Academy!"
Lin Yiwan praised: "Mr. Pan is a talented young man, indeed!"
At this time, an old lady in brocade clothes hurriedly said, "Madam Hou, please take a look at our little grandson. His name is Fu Zicheng. He works in the Ministry of Revenue. Although his position is low, he is young and has a bright future!"
Lin Yiwan understood what she meant by this sentence. When she said that the future was limitless, she probably meant that she wanted to borrow the power of the Lin family.
But we see through these things but don’t say them out loud!
Next to Sang Qiutang stood a handsome scholar. She introduced him, "Wanwan, this is Wang Boyuan, the eldest son of Censor Wang's family. His parents didn't come, so they asked me to bring Xiaoruan to see him first!"
Lin Yiwan remembered Censor Wang. His youngest daughter, Wang Yanyan, was a good friend of Zhan Miao.
I guess this must be her brother.
It seems that if Xiaoruan marries him, she will be a generation lower.
As Lin Yiwan was thinking this, she saw two limping figures walking towards her from a distance.
Lin Xiaoruan had obviously noticed it, and she subconsciously said, "Huh? Isn't that Tang Mingxuan and City Lord Mo? Why are they coming out from the backyard?"
