The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

The package that Mrs. Lin handed over was not big and did not look heavy.

Lu Zhaoling took a look and shook his head.

"no need."

She took five taels of silver and handed it to Qingyin.

"Second Miss, please accept it, otherwise we will be uneasy. I heard from the assistant doctor that you have not been in the capital these days. You just came to our house in a hurry after returning to the capital today. It seems that you didn't even have time to rest."

Mrs. Lin looked at Lu Zhaoling, a child who was much younger than her own children, but had a calm temperament and she felt very fond of her.

Even if he just came back to Beijing and hurried to visit her old man, she should give him some gift for the first time they met. Not to mention that he saved her old man.

"Second Miss, please accept it." The assistant doctor said from the side.

Lu Zhaoling only took five taels of silver, which was already a very low price.

Censor Lin was so poor, so the things that Mrs. Lin could afford would not be valuable, and she would not feel any psychological burden in accepting them.

The assistant doctor had already spoken, so Lu Zhaoling had no choice but to take over.

Seeing her like this, Fu Cheng found it a little cute. Obviously, Miss Lu was a money-loving person and her fees were not cheap, but after seeing the situation at Censor Lin's house, she only charged five taels and was embarrassed to accept some gifts.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Lin." Lu Zhaoling then took the package.

The handkerchief looked like an ordinary cotton handkerchief with only a small branch of apricot blossom embroidered on it.

"Can I open it and take a look?" After Lu Zhaoling took it, he felt something was a little strange.

"Miss, please go ahead."

Mrs. Lin had nothing to be embarrassed about, as she really couldn't give away anything good.

Lu Zhaoling opened the handkerchief.

Inside was a small silver box, palm-sized, and shaped like a flower. The lid was carved with a cluster of flowers, and it looked like—

"Pear blossom?" Lu Zhaoling wasn't quite sure, but the carving seemed familiar to her.

The flowers are lifelike and the petals are very delicate.

There are small holes in the stamens.

"It's pear blossoms." Mrs. Lin nodded. "Actually, this is a small perfume box. Open it and take a look. It's quite finely crafted."

Lu Zhaoling opened the lid and saw that the bottom of the box was inlaid with a polished rosewood base. As soon as she opened it, she could smell a little bit of the rosewood fragrance.

"This thing was brought from Nanshao. They have a small round ointment that can emit fragrance continuously when placed in an incense box. The ointment has various uses. Some are added with mosquito repellent grass, some are added with camphor, some are added with cooling grass or something else, and the effects are different."

Mrs. Lin explained, "A piece of good perfume is worth one or two taels of silver. This perfume box was given to me by a girl. At that time, there was a piece of perfume in it that could refresh the mind, but I didn't buy another one after I used it up."

"This incense box is made of a lot of silver, is heavy, and has excellent carving. I have kept it and never used it again. Second Miss, I hope you don't mind it."

She always used things given by others as love gifts.

It's really the conditions at home...

Lu Zhaoling looked at the incense box, and when she heard that it came from Nanshao, she had some guesses in her mind.

The silver used for this box alone is estimated to weigh twenty taels, which is quite heavy.

"Mrs. Lin, excuse me for asking, what did the girl who gave you this perfume box look like?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

Qingyin was also a little surprised. Miss asked this, could it be...

Mrs. Lin showed nostalgia on her face.

"I have always remembered that girl, because she was the kindest and most generous girl I have ever met. It was a pity that she was wearing a veil at the time, so I couldn't see her face clearly. At that time, I had a heat stroke outside the city, and the girl gave me this perfume box, saying that I should smell it more often, and it would have some benefits. I heard that her voice was very young, and her accent was soft."

Lu Zhaoling was silent for a moment.

Madam Lin continued, "It might be a young lady from a noble family, because she had two carriages with her, and the one at the back must have been full of stuff. I was a little dizzy at the time, and I didn't have time to talk to her much. Someone in the carriage urged her to hurry up, and seemed to have said that if she didn't transport the stuff into the city, it would easily attract attention."

Mrs. Lin only heard that sentence vaguely.

The girl seemed to be inconvenienced and apologized that she could not take the carriage back to the city. She said her husband would come out to pick her up soon, and then the girl left.

"Later, I kept trying to find that girl, but I couldn't meet her. I thought that she had a car full of valuables and a rich family, so I could find out by asking around."

Mrs. Lin sighed.

Lu Zhaoling, however, remembered Cui Liyue's things.

She was almost certain that the girl was Cui Liyue, as the carving was similar to those of Cui Liyue's powder boxes.

She became somewhat curious about Cui Liyue.

There seemed to be a strong connection between her and Cui Liyue. Not to mention what happened in the small mountain village, just this incense box actually ended up in her hands after more than ten years.

After getting this incense box, Lu Zhaoling felt that she had not gotten a very good deal today.

"Thank you, Mrs. Lin. I like this perfume box very much."

Lu Zhaoling held the incense box tightly before handing it to Qingyin to put away.

The assistant doctor came out of Censor Lin's house with her.

Lu Zhaoling invited him to ride in the same carriage and asked him about the affairs of Tianjing City on the way.

Halfway through the conversation, Lu Zhaoling asked curiously, "Where are Censor Lin's family members?"

She looked at the faces of Censor Lin and his wife and knew that they had a son and a daughter, and that their children were still alive.

"Censor Lin's daughter married and moved to another place, and his son also worked as an official in another place. He holds a low position, so he takes his wife and children with him. It costs a lot of money to come back, so he rarely returns to Beijing. I guess the two old people love their children very much, and they send them some money and clothes every year."

The assistant doctor sighed, "I would rather live frugally."

Then he asked Lu Zhaoling curiously, "Second Miss, can you tell that they have children?"

"Yeah, I can see that."

"Prince Lin said before that he dreamed that his daughter was seriously ill and was very worried. He sent a letter to her, but there has been no reply yet. How is the Second Miss looking after their children's palace?"

Lu Zhaoling glanced at the assistant doctor. The old man was still quite worried. It seemed that Censor Lin was still in his eyes.

"Nothing dark for now, nothing should happen recently."

For things that have happened over a long period of time, it is not so easy to tell directly. Some accidents happen suddenly, and it is impossible to tell the change in fate unless you see the person himself.

And she didn't pay much attention to this just now, she just glanced at it casually.

"That's good."

The assistant doctor added, "The emperor's condition is not serious, but the symptoms are lingering. If there is something wrong with the inkstone, could it be that it has affected him?"

"It's not impossible."

"Shut up!"

The carriage suddenly stopped.

A woman screamed outside.
