Chapter 117 Lin Yao Offers a Good Opportunity
"As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too. My husband has no title to inherit, and no amazing talent. I may not even get a royal decree in my lifetime. The only thing that is worthy of praise is that he is by my side."
Xin An was not familiar with the young lady of the Zhang family, so he spoke politely, "Although the young general is not by the young lady's side, he is using his skills to defend the country, which makes people respect him."
The young lady of the Zhang family laughed and said, "If that's the case, this person really can't be compared. When we compare, either you envy me or I envy you. It's really impossible to have both in this world."
Lin Yao said, "People feel more at ease in this Buddhist temple. We women are lucky enough to live a comfortable life. Don't think too much and worry too much."
"The lotus pond at Nandu Temple is also quite artistic. I have asked someone to reserve a seat for us. Let's go sit there together."
The temple is very quiet. Although there are no ice basins to serve, the gentle breeze brings a hint of Zen fragrance, making it more comfortable.
When everyone sat down, the conversation naturally couldn't help but talk about the excitement of the capital city in the past two days, such as which family had a new concubine, or which family's backyard was not peaceful. Xin An found it a little funny. He was gossiping in the Buddha's place, and he didn't know if the Buddha would like it or not.
But she was quite interested.
"Second Young Master Madam, I heard that your mother-in-law and Madam Tao went to the Changning Marquis's residence one after another, and that Madam Tao went with Tao Yiran. Madam Changning Marquis's wife is not easy to talk to. What's going on?"
The words were said by Madam Zhang, and Xin An felt that they were somewhat abrupt. Since they were not very familiar with each other, it was not appropriate to ask such a question. He simply shook his head and said, "I really don't know anything about this matter. I only know that she went there. My mother-in-law didn't reveal a single word about the inside story, so I didn't ask. I think Madam Changning should have calmed down by now, right?"
Madam Zhang thought she was boring. Who doesn't want to watch the sisters-in-law having fun? Especially in her situation, she probably didn't tell the truth because she didn't know her well. "Two years ago, Miss Yi and Miss Ning had a quarrel. It was not a big deal for girls to quarrel, but the wife of the Earl of Changning was stubborn and refused to give in. Madam Yi didn't tolerate her, so the two families made a big joke."
"Now many families in the capital are waiting to see how the Marquis's mansion will apologize. I'm afraid that the wife of the Marquis of Changning will not let it go."
Xin An's face was normal, he just put down the teacup gently, "My eldest sister-in-law is a great zither player but she is too straightforward. She didn't care about Miss Ning's face. She regretted it very much after returning home. My mother-in-law went there herself. I don't know how the conversation went, but she went to the Wang family after she came out. She was in a good mood. I think she had a good chat with the wife of the Earl of Changning."
"Mrs. Changning loves her daughter dearly, so she should have said some harsh words. As for Aunt Tao and my sister-in-law going together, it was only because Aunt Tao felt that my mother-in-law should not be the only one to come forward on this matter, which would make her seem not sincere enough, so she went there in person. It is not as serious as Madam Zhang said."
Madam Zhang was getting angry. Because of the Xin family's status as a merchant, she looked down on Xin An. Now Xin An was talking back at her, which was really rude. "Madam Second Young Master is really big-hearted. She even protected Tao Yiran."
"It's just a matter of fact, not a matter of maintenance."
Seeing the two of them arguing with each other, Lin Yao smiled and said, "The tea and fruit in Nandu Temple are really good. Sister Xin, will you accompany me to change my clothes?"
Xin An agreed with a smile, and the two left together. Madam Zhang sneered, "Why are you pretending?"
"She must be so happy in her heart. I don't believe she has no feelings for Tao Yiran at all."
Han Wan'er poured her some tea. "She's just a new daughter-in-law, so how can you say bad things about your eldest sister-in-law? Besides, after meeting her a few times, I found that she's very tight-lipped and not a talkative person. I'm afraid you won't be able to hear interesting stories from her."
Madam Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, picked up the tea and took a sip, "I was confused, this tea is really good."
The few of them continued to sip their tea slowly. After a while, Lin Yao and Xin An walked by the lotus pond. Lin Yao said, "Mrs. Zhang is straightforward. Less than three months after their marriage, General Zhang led his troops away. She likes to listen to other people's jokes after dinner when she is bored. Don't take it to heart, sister-in-law."
"how come."
Xin An said: "It is really inconvenient to tell the truth between me and my sister-in-law to the public. It doesn't matter what happens inside, but I should always consider the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion when I leave."
"Besides, Madam Zhang has no ill intentions. Her husband is not around and she has no children to support her. She has to find some fun to get by, right?"
Not only did she like to ask, she also liked to talk. In her memory, the young lady of the Zhang family was a famous gossip.
Lin Yao stopped and said, "My sister-in-law is very understanding. No wonder Second Brother Tang is worried about her."
Xin An smiled, and was curious to see the large fish in the lotus pond in groups. Lin Yao said that most of the fish in the lotus pond were released by pilgrims. "The people in the temple will catch them once a spring and release them in the river outside the city. This can be considered as accumulating good karma."
"By the way, are you interested in donating some money to help the poor?"
This was the reason why she asked Xin An to come out today.
"We, the Xin family, are merchants. We know that when we are full, we will lose money. We are also never behind others in doing good deeds in Huaijiang. If there is any difficulty, Sister Lin can tell me directly. I will definitely help if I can."
Xin An was a little nervous. She guessed that Lin Yao was going to tell her about Qianjintang. Qianjintang was a place dedicated to learning the art of medicine. Many doctors in the city came from Qianjintang. Qianjintang held free clinics every month. Not only did they treat minor illnesses for free, they also provided free medicines. Many beggars and children from the Child Care Bureau were also the targets of their free clinics. They were quite famous among the poor people.
The person in charge of Qianjin Hall is the Queen. Those who can participate in the charity of Qianjin Hall are all noble women. In her previous life, she wanted to win the favor of those women by donating money, and then win the favor of the Queen. Unfortunately, she failed to achieve her wish no matter how hard she tried, because Lin Yao and others did not allow it.
It is true that Lin Yao's father is a military general, but her mother and the queen are good friends, so Lin Yao naturally has a say in Qianjin Hall. In the past, she was disliked by the queen and was chased and blocked everywhere, so naturally she would not succeed.
Lin Yao really told her about Qianjintang. After explaining it to her in detail, she said, "Training a doctor will help more people, which is a great thing. However, although free clinics are good, the demand for medicinal materials is huge. They are often in short supply and the price is not low. I wonder if my sister-in-law has a way to get medicinal materials."
Xin An thought of her Uncle Bai, who was the Xin family's medicinal herbs basket. No one knew how much medicinal herbs were consumed every year. In order to meet his needs for refining medicine, the family cooperated with several medicinal herb merchants.
"If it's ordinary herbs, it's easy to deal with, but do you need any rare herbs?"
"That's not necessary. They are just some common herbs. If you have a way, I can give you a list."
