Lin Gongzi medicine jar

Living in the Hou's mansion, the yards are connected to the yards, and when the wind blows and the grass moves, all the yards get news.

The female family members in the Hou's mansion have little entertainment. Lin Xi arrived an hour before lunch, and saw that the Chongjin Hall was full of people, even the Mei family who seldom showed up, and was stunned for a while. one time.

"Yo, Master Biao is finally here. If you don't come, we have to go and see for ourselves." Shan's high-pitched voice coupled with that bright face always makes people feel happy, "Our old lady Looking forward to the autumn water."

Mrs. Tai heard the words and scolded with a smile: "Your literary talent... well, I don't even know what to say."

"I haven't read any books, mother, don't laugh at me." Mrs. Shan pretended to lament while supporting the back of Mrs. Tai's hand.

Lin Xi greeted Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Shan, and greeted several cousins. She glanced around the room and found several boxes beside him, filled with various fabrics and accessories. They were all open. It can be seen that before he entered Everyone is picking.

"Is your health better?" Mrs. Tai touched Lin Xi's hand, not as warm as hers, and suddenly said dissatisfied, "You child, I don't even know what to say about you. Be careful not to catch a cold, always listen to the wind. Did you work hard yesterday, but will you get a cold today? Mother Qi, give him the heater."

Lin Xi was slightly embarrassed, and was about to refuse, but Madam Tai gave her a sideways look, and honestly took the stove to warm her hands.

At this time, Mrs. Liu led someone in, and Lin Xi saluted with many cousins.

Mrs. Liu looked at Lin Xi, and asked with concern: "Xi'er is better. If you need any medicinal supplements, feel free to talk to your aunt, but don't keep your mouth open."

"Don't worry, Auntie, Xi'er is fine, she was just a little tired yesterday, she will be fine after a night of sleep."

Mrs. Liu then nodded, looked at the many daughters and nieces, and asked with a smile: "Have you selected them all? I invited the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang to come over, and when the time comes, I will make a few of the styles I have chosen."

As soon as Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she saw joy in the eyes of all the female relatives, and they all expressed their thanks.

On the bright side, the Liu family has always been a bowl of water.

"By the way, I also left a few plain ones for Xi'er. The texture is quite light and soft, with some dark lines. They are breathable in summer. You can see if you like them. Although Xiaozhong should not pay attention to appearance, but also It can’t be too dark and lose the vitality of youth.”

Mrs. Liu pointed to a few bolts of plain white cloth quietly placed beside her and said.

You don't need to look too much to know that it is a good material, "I don't know how many cousins ​​and cousins ​​you have?"

Mrs. Tai is obviously very satisfied with Mrs. Liu this time, "All of them, the old lady has seen it, your aunt is very careful, they are all good materials, and the winking pattern will not conflict with it."

"That Xi'er is more respectful than obedient, thank you, aunt."

Lin Xi sat with Mrs. Tai for a while, waiting for lunch.

"Why, what's on your mind?" Mrs. Tai asked softly, patting the back of his hand.

Lin Xi shook her head.

"If you have something to say, grandma will make the decision for you."

Lin Xi sighed after hearing the words, "It's nothing, it's just some trivial matters in the yard, they have followed me since childhood, and I'm not happy to punish them, besides, it's really not the girl's fault."

"I think it's a big deal." Mrs. Tai smiled, "People's hearts are fleshy. Even a kitten and puppy can have feelings after being raised for a long time, let alone a person. But it's just a maid. You're not here. It's her fault that something was lost silently in the yard, of course she should be punished, otherwise wouldn't it be a mess? But then again, if something is lost, let's see if grandma can help you make up for it?"

Lin Xi lowered her eyebrows and said obediently: "It's not something valuable, but it's just that I lost a few books. It's just that I only read half of them, and it's not easy to find, so I'm quite annoyed."

Although the voice was soft, everyone in the room could hear it. Lin Xi looked around calmly, some were surprised, some curled their lips carelessly, as if they didn't know anything.

"What book does our young cousin like so much, and makes my aunt look up to her, but fortunately, it's just the book that's lost, so I just need to find it again... It can't be a lonely copy, right?"

Shan said with a smile, but he didn't think so in his heart, but when he thought that literati are such a stinking problem, it doesn't matter if they lose gold, silver and jewelry, but they have to work hard without books, so they are relieved.

Lin Xi smiled slightly, "Xi'er doesn't know if this is an orphan copy, but it was my father who paid a lot of money to ask someone to bring it here. What I lost was the first few copies. It's always not easy to read these books without the volume, so Yi Xi'er was quite annoyed and punished that girl."

It turned out that it could be regarded as Lin Qing's relic.

Mrs. Liu said: "Let your cousin Heng look for it, as long as it is not an orphan copy, you can always get it."

Everyone nodded, but suddenly Xiao Jinping said softly: "Since my cousin is a trustee, why don't you ask that person again, who knows where it is?"

Xiao Jinxin laughed lowly when she heard the words, "Only the second sister is the smartest."

Xiao Jinping said: "Sister, don't make fun of my sister, my cousin probably thought of asking."

Lin Xi shook her head, "Thanks to my cousin reminding me."

Xiao Jinping showed a soft smile, "My cousin is very happy to be able to help, but I don't know where the next few volumes are? If my cousin completes it, can I borrow my cousin to pay my respects? As soon as I said it, my cousin was also interested."

Xiao Jinxin curled her lips, "Uncle's belongings are so precious, and Second Sister begs for it so much, should Cousin give it or not?"

When Xiao Jinxin said this, Xiao Jinping suddenly became embarrassed, and her face slowly blushed, "I made this question out of curiosity, and if my cousin doesn't want to, I won't force others. My sister said so, and my sister will Feeling ashamed."

As he spoke, his eye sockets became moist, and he wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, sobbing secretly.

Aunt Mei didn't say a word at all, just like a wooden stake, but seeing her daughter weeping sadly when she was squeezed out, she couldn't help but said: "Miss San, Miss Er has always liked to read books, and when she sees something novel, she can't help but feel a little moved. Only then did I speak to Young Master Biao with the cheek, but if you say it like this, it seems that Second Miss deliberately did such an ordinary thing, wouldn't it make Second Miss sad."

Xiao Jinping's eyes were all upright, and she was about to speak, when suddenly a cup of tea was placed on the table, and there was a crisp sound, and she heard Mrs. Liu say slowly: "Mr. Mei, the sisters are just joking. After getting into a quarrel, do you want to say that the third lady is deliberately running on my sister when you speak so rashly?"

Mrs. Mei immediately knelt down in front of Mrs. Liu, and said aggrievedly: "I only care about the second lady, so I lost my sense of control and said something wrong, please punish me."

Xiao Jinping also knelt down beside Mei's, "Mother, it's my fault. My sister said that I did it for my own good. I shouldn't have the cheek to ask my cousin for it. If you want to punish me, punish me."

Talking about mother and daughter supporting each other and crying.

Lin Xi was dumbfounded when she saw it, but such a trivial matter could cause such a big lawsuit.

He hasn't stayed in Yongning Hou Mansion for a long time, and he only stays in his Lan Yuexuan on weekdays, and it's not easy for unmarried men to walk around in the backyard. If he didn't pay his respects to Mrs. Tai, he wouldn't be able to see the young female relatives, so today There are not many opportunities for all the members of the backyard to be present.

Lin Xi glanced at Madam Tai and Mrs. Shan inadvertently. Seeing Mrs. Tai squinting and playing with the beads on her wrist, Mrs. Shan focused on the beautiful pattern on the cuffs, as if she had never heard the words of Mrs. Mei and Xiao Jinping. Weep.

Is this something you've seen too much?

Lin Xi was a little embarrassed. Isn't it too deliberate to stand up and say goodbye now? Shouldn't this kind of thing be said behind closed doors?

"Shut up, where did you learn this pear blossom with rain at every turn? Do you still have the bearing of a lady?" Liu restrained her anger, reprimanded Xiao Jinlan, and pointed at Mei, even more Dissatisfied, "I don't see how attentive you are on weekdays, so what's the matter with suddenly coming over today? Just a few words and I'm wronged, and I should confess you when I co-authored it?"

"What Madam said about being a concubine is what the concubine deserves. There is no such thing as being wronged or not. But the second young lady is already grown up. If you say that about her, how will she deal with herself in the future?"

Aunt Mei knelt on the ground and said no one was wronged, but she was more wronged than anyone else. She was also sharp-tongued, and retreated to advance. What she said was Liu's oppression of concubines and concubines.

And Mrs. Liu was used to acting superior, so she was so angry that she slapped the table and threw teacups and scolded a few times. There was really nothing she could do about this mother and daughter.

Now in the Chongjin Hall again, Mrs. Shan from the fourth room looked at her again, she really lost face, it was supposed to be a happy thing, but it made it quite unpleasant.

Xiao Jinxin couldn't see her mother being upset by this pair of mother and daughter, so she immediately said: "What did mother say about the second sister to make Aunt Mei so injustice, okay, it's all my sister's fault, the second sister is noble, weak and kind, I became a younger sister and bullied him unscrupulously, can I apologize to my aunt and sister?"

As he spoke, he was about to walk over and bend his knees, but his eyes were sharp enough to kill.

At this time, Mrs. Shan straightened her sleeves, and Shi Shiran said: "Okay, it's getting more and more outrageous. It's just a trivial matter. What you do involves a series of things. It's a joke for people to see. Aunt Mei, sister Why do you intervene in the matter between the two, the old lady is here, who else can you favor?"

Then turned to Lin Xi and said angrily: "Look at you, you provoked it. At this moment, no matter how precious the books are, we have to take them out. Our second lady is just curious and wants to look up."

Not knowing whether the tone was ironic or what, Lin Xi could only nod her head and said, "Of course, when I find everything, my cousin can send someone to pick it up anytime she wants."

Mother Qi scolded the maids with a sullen face, "Are you all sticking around like wooden figures? Hurry up and help your masters up."

After a while of confusion, they all took their seats.

I heard Aunt Mei say Ai Ai in a jiffy: "Master Cousin, Second Young Miss is old after all, can you let Second Young Master come and pick it up? You are both scholars, and you should communicate a lot. Second Young Master admired you very much before."

Lin Xi suddenly smiled and said, "Of course you can."

Mrs. Tai listened to her ear, stopped holding the Buddha beads, and said: "Xi'er stays with the old lady for dinner, and the rest can go back. The two girls each copied ten times of "Girlfriend Training" and handed it to me in three days."

As soon as Mrs. Tai spoke, no one dared to object, and they all got up to leave.

Xiao Jinlan was dissatisfied and was about to speak, but Liu Shi stretched out her hand and pulled her head down and shut her mouth.Xiao Jinlan looked at Lin Xi, and said humbly to the old lady, "Yes."

It was finally quiet.

Lin Xi hissed lightly, three women in one drama, a group of women is really terrible.

I don't know what are the benefits of having three wives and four concubines. On the surface, they are harmonious and beautiful, but underneath they are swords and swords. At some point, they will fall out and see their lives.

Just like Zhao Jingyi's backyard, it's no wonder that she's going astray now and won't go away no matter what.

Now only the grandparents and grandchildren have lunch, and the food on the table is Lin Xi's favorite food.

Mrs. Tai has several grandsons, all of whom she likes from the bottom of her heart, but as soon as Lin Xi came, she found that she was outnumbered, and Xiao Yuheng sometimes pretended to complain that she had fallen out of favor.

Mrs. Tai doesn't use it much, but she loves to see Lin Xi's delicate and delicate appearance.Siping is stable and neither arrogant nor impatient, sometimes she looks more elegant than everyone's lady, but she is not girly.What attracts attention is the calmness and quietness.

With the demeanor of a son of an aristocratic family, Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart, Lin Qing raised her son very well.

"Xi'er, drink this bowl of soup."

Mother Qi put the soup cup in front of Lin Xi, and said with a smile: "The old lady ordered the kitchen to stew for a long time, but it is nourishing but not very nourishing. It is good for Master Biao's health."

Lin Xi still drank slowly.

The grandparents and grandchildren put down the bowls and chopsticks together.

"The lord told me yesterday that the son has to be entrusted to you to take care of him. Did he ever tell you?"

Lin Xi took Mama Qi's handkerchief and wiped her hands. Hearing this, she paused slightly, thinking that Zhao Jingyi had already done the trick, so she didn't intend to bring the child directly.

So he said: "The prince mentioned it when he was in the palace, and he told me again yesterday, but after all, the prince has different identities, so I still have to ask you and your uncle and aunt what you mean." Although most of the Yongning Houfu would not refuse.

"Early before the imperial decree was issued, the two palaces had already revealed their words in front of the queen mother and the emperor. Even the two kings had asked the prince what he meant. Rong'er was in poor health and his status was extremely special. So far, the palace had no accurate words. Pay attention to who will take care of this child after the prince leaves Beijing."

Zhao Jingyi is such a precious son, although he is only six years old, he can already influence the direction of Prince Rui's residence to a certain extent.

"The prince doesn't seem to want to cause this trouble."

Mrs. Tai nodded, and Lin Xi helped her walk slowly in the yard to digest.

"That's why he mentioned it yesterday. I thought about it and agreed. But it's my grandmother's fault. I didn't ask you first. How is the son's health? Your child is also suffering from minor illnesses, and the serious illness is still not recovering. Occasionally, it’s okay to go to the palace for rectification, but if you keep it by your side to take care of your body, can you bear it?”

Lin Xi said: "Grandmother, don't worry, the son's body is actually fine. After spring, the weather gets hotter. If you take care of it carefully, cold symptoms will not easily occur. Besides, you are with your aunt. How can you really ignore us? I want to ask you two for help."

Tai Furen heard this with a smile on her face, and nodded repeatedly, "That's the reason, don't worry, how can you really let a young boy like you take care of the child, needless to say, your aunt will definitely arrange it properly. "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Tai couldn't help but frowned, and sighed, "It's your cousin who is also unlucky."

Lin Xi was speechless, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Jingyi was still his cousin's husband, and his natal family was trying their best to marry his cousin to him. This chaotic relationship suddenly made him feel bad.

"What's wrong with Xi'er? Are you tired?" Seeing that Lin Xi stopped suddenly, Mrs. Tai turned her head to look at him suspiciously.

Lin Xi came back to his senses, shook his head and replied, "...No." Thinking of this, he suddenly scratched his head, his two beautiful cousins...

So he asked dryly, "Don't you have two cousins?"

As soon as the words were finished, Madam Tai had a serious face, "Don't talk nonsense, Xi'er, your two cousins ​​have nothing to do with the prince."

What?

Lin Xi was taken aback, and Mrs. Tai pointed to his head and smiled: "Silly boy, the reputation of your daughter's family should not be spread indiscriminately, or do you have an idea?"

The spring sun shone on Lin Xi, making his mind a mess, "...what do you think?"

What idea could he have, anyway, the other party was desperately sticking to it, but he didn't agree!

Mrs. Tai obviously didn't think the same thing as Lin Xi. Seeing that Lin Ximu was in a daze, she whispered: "I did have this idea at the time, but the prince didn't mean it, so that's it. Girl Xin is fine, Lan The girl is not young, and she will be Jiji after August, and the Mei family has been reluctant before, but now she is in a hurry, and she is looking forward to Ai Ai to reveal some meaning to Master Hou."

Lin Xi didn't understand yet, but Mrs. Tai couldn't help but poked him on the forehead, "My silly Xi'er, haven't you figured it out? Mrs. Mei has come to greet you since you came back, and said those words in secret, why did you ever say that?" Have you ever been so attentive? Miss Lan's attitude towards you is also different today."

Now Lin Xi understood, but he could only be dumbfounded, "Why is this? Why did you suddenly involve me?"

Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi proudly. The boy who was thin at the beginning is now tall, handsome, and calm in dealing with others. His medical skills are so high that Prince Rui values ​​him. He can be called the savior of his son. With these supports, there is no need to worry about official luck.

The Marquis of Yongning is both the father-in-law and the uncle. He is close to each other. He has no parents-in-law to serve him, and no uncles and sister-in-law to worry about him. Where can he find such a good son-in-law?

"Xi'er think about it carefully, are you willing?" Mrs. Tai looked at Lin Xi quite deeply.

Lin Xi looked up at the sky, it didn't seem to be a question of whether he was willing or not, but someone who might accept it?

In the afternoon, Mrs. Tai took a nap, and Lin Xi went back to Lanyuexuan, feeling exhausted and having a headache, so she also took a nap.

After waking up, she called Zhou's mother, "What's the matter?"

"Young master, don't worry, everything that needs to be beaten will be beaten, and all things will be distributed. It depends on whether they are willing to be honest."

Lin Xi nodded noncommittal, "Where is that ball? I wronged her."

Zhou's mother laughed and said, "I'm locked in the house right now, and Yuanyuan will go in and have a look from time to time. What's wrong with you, it's just that everything goes smoothly on weekdays, and people take advantage of the loopholes when they lose their vigilance. Let her improve her memory for a while."

In the evening, Yuanyuan waited for Lin Xi to sleep before going back to the house. She lived with Tuan Tuan, and even though Tuan Tuan was downgraded to a third-class girl, she did not move.

Before going back to the house, she went to the small kitchen again. The mother on the stove had heard about her long ago, so she simmered a roast duck on the stove and warmed up a bowl of millet porridge.

Tuantuanyuan is a round girl, and eats more than the average girl. The mother on the stove knows it, and often leaves it for supper.

Hearing the squeak, Tuantuan, who was lying on the bed sad and weeping, glanced at it, got up immediately, sat down at the table, quickly opened the food box, took out the roast duck and millet porridge inside, didn't mind the greasy hands, and directly pulled Just chew on a duck leg.

"I'm starving to death. I haven't eaten for a day. It's just killing me."

Yuanyuan rested her cheeks, and sat watching Tuan Tuan gobbling it up, "Eat slowly, and no one will grab it from you, why don't you be smart and hide some food, it's too uncomfortable to be hungry."

Tuantuan couldn't help complaining: "You don't know, wave after wave of maids and women come over, saying comfort, but in fact, they don't come to see my downcast appearance. If they find out that I can eat well, then it's okay , Didn’t what you did before reveal your secrets?”

She drank half a bowl of rice porridge, ate a duck leg, let out a big breath, felt alive again, and then ate slowly.

Seeing how she was eating, Yuanyuan felt relieved, so she said: "Young master is right, you are usually in charge of this and that, you have too many things to do, and you don't trust other people to do it, so people take advantage of your loopholes. If you find that slut this time, you should also let the other maids take care of things, the young master said, saying that you must know how to delegate power."

Tuantuan pulled out a duck wing and took a hard bite, "I must take a closer look at this moment, I must pick out that cheap hoof! I have thought about this matter again and again, it doesn't seem like outsiders take advantage of it." The ones who fumbled in, seeing their familiar faces, must be familiar with Lanyuexuan, and they can't escape those few anyway."

Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

Lin Xi rested all night, and finally got rid of the exhaustion all over his body. However, when he went to Chongjin Hall the next day to pay his respects, he saw Zhao Yuanrong's little prince with a bright smile on his face, ignoring everyone's favour, and running slowly towards the girl who was still at the door. He stretched out his arms and hugged his legs, and shouted crisply, "Cousin, Rong'er misses you, do you miss Rong'er?"

What a loveless life!

Looking around, he didn't see Zhao Jingyi's shadow, but he saw Eunuch Cao who seemed to be warmly greeting Mrs. Tai, and when he heard Zhao Yuanrong's crisp call, he also looked over and said with a smile: "Mr. Days gone, Zajia really miss you."

Seeing Lin Xi looking around him again, he smiled even more happily, "My lord went to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. The army is about to be reorganized. I didn't come here today. Mr. Lin forgive me."

"He wanted to come but couldn't." Zhao Yuanrong added cleverly.

Lin Xi twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, reached out to touch Zhao Yuanrong's head, and really wanted to ask, do you know why your father came here?But in the end, I still didn't say it, which was too embarrassing.

And Zhao Yuanrong was still arching in the palm of his hand, it looked very much like a coquettish little animal, it didn't have the appearance of a young master who ignored and snorted when facing other people.

Lin Xi's heart suddenly melted.

"I heard that the prince likes Xi'er a long time ago. Now seeing is believing. Look at this affectionate appearance. The prince has chosen the right person." Mrs. Shan has seen Zhao Yuanrong's aloof attitude, and she is now dependent on the chicks seeing their mother. The appearance of the person is very surprising.

"It's also destined." Mrs. Tai was quite happy, and repeatedly ordered Qi's mother to deliver the prepared things to Lanyuexuan, and even sent some mature and prudent candidates to go there.

But he was blocked by Eunuch Cao, "Old lady, the son will live with Mr. Lin permanently, and the manpower to serve him has been prepared."

Let it go, and Mrs. Tai didn't say anything.

After sitting down and talking with each other for a while, Lin Xi took Zhao Yuanrong back to Lan Yue Xuan.
