A new journey of accumulating wealth

An old friend?

Lin Yutong took a look at Yuan, nodded to Fourth Master, and raised his foot to go inside.

But thinking about Yuan, he glanced at Fourth Master, "This is Fourth Master Jin, right? The scenery behind the mountain is nice, maybe you want to see it?"

Back Mountain?

Lin Yutong reached out and grabbed fourth master: "Wait for me to go out, let's go for a walk together."

Still don't worry about him!

Let's do it!

"You can stay here at ease..." Fourth Master pointed to the peach tree at the entrance of the nunnery, "I'll cut some branches... I heard that the peaches in Huici Temple are very good...Sister Sui loves peach juice , I’m afraid I’d love to eat peaches more after eating it... Let’s try all kinds of things..."

That's all for Lin Yutong, and told Jin Yi: "Follow your father and walk around in the woods at the gate."

Turning around, looking at Yuan again, Liao Yuan lowered his head and made a gesture of invitation to invite Lin Yutong inside.

Lin Yutong thought it would be Xiao Xu.After all, before Jin Yi said that he had seen someone suspected to be Xiao Xu, and then he received such a letter.She thought, maybe Xiao Xu has something to say to herself alone.

Unexpectedly, following Lie Yuan all the way in, it was obvious that this was not a place to receive guests, but rather a place where she lived.The door opened, and the inside was very simple.A gray cloth curtain was hung inside, and there was a faint smell of medicine. Liao Yuan lifted the curtain and looked back at Lin Yutong: "Fourth grandma, please come in. This place is simple, please forgive me."

Lin Yutong raised his foot to go inside.But once you enter, there are two worlds inside and outside.

Although the inside is still crude, it is warm.The charcoal basin looks like bamboo charcoal, and there is no choking smell at all.There is a small medicine stove on the table, and there are only small coals in the stove, and medicine is sitting on it.This is not boiling medicine, but keeping the medicine ready at any time, and the patient must keep it hot when drinking it.

Smelling the smell of the medicine, Lin Yutong frowned. This is a prescription for treating women's bleeding.

Only then did she raise her eyes to look at the kang, on which lay a sallow and thin woman with high cheekbones, her eyes were closed at this moment, but Lin Yutong still recognized it, this is—Bai's?

Just as she was about to step forward, she saw that Yuan had already passed away, and she put her hand gently on Bai's arm covered under the quilt, "My child... my child... wake up, the person you want to see, I will bring you It's..."

Bai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he barely opened a gap, looked at Lin Yutong, the corner of his mouth twitched, and made a faint sound. Looking at the shape of her mouth, he knew what she was shouting: mother!

Lin Yutong pursed her lips, and sighed slightly in her heart when she called out "mother".Seeing Yuan let go of the seat in front of the kang, she sat there, and stretched out her hand to pull her hand out from under the quilt. The hand was dry and cold... Obviously the kang was hot, and she could feel the heat even when she was only sitting at the mouth of the kang. The temperature from the fingers to the wrist, the cuffs are warm, but this hand is cold.

You don't need to feel the pulse, you know that she is seriously ill.

Pressing her finger lightly on her pulse, her brows frowned even tighter. This was not just a blood leak, but more seriously, a prolapsed uterus.In modern times, this disease is a matter of surgery, but now...you can treat it yourself, acupuncture and medicine...just one thing, this process is very slow, and it will be good if you can get better in three to five years.As for having children in the future... I'm afraid it will be difficult.

At her current level, if she can't get treatment in time, it will basically be... a matter of three to five days at most, and if people say it's gone, it will be gone.

"Mother!" Bai yelled again, exhausting all the strength in her body, and the voice seemed to come out.

Lin Yutong looked up at her: "You want to see me?"

"I know I'm ashamed to see you..." Mrs. Bai looked at Lin Yutong, her face flushed because she was in a hurry to speak, "...But I still have to see you... Sister Sui is at Jin's house, With the Jin family here, Sister Sui will be able to live a stable life... I can't call her the same as me, without my parents, I don't even remember who I am..."

Lin Yutong glanced at Yuan, turned her back on Yuan, her shoulders kept shrugging, she was crying.

Lin Yutong sighed inwardly, seeing her haggard face at the door just now, and looking at this room... The room is not big, but it is very tidy.The bunks on the kang are all half-new, light and soft.The woman's lower body is bleeding, every day, it can be kept clean, and there is no peculiar smell in the house.On the small kang table on one side, there are flower branches cut from Uncle Wild Plum in a rough clay pot. The old branches are covered with flower buds, and they are full of vitality.There is an aromatherapy ball on the bedside, which looks ordinary, but the smell that emanates from it can be distinguished as soothing.And her arm was exposed, and the cuffs that were exposed by the way were made of fine cotton, which felt very comfortable when rubbed.It is the same as the material used to make underwear for children.

The Bai family, apart from the Xu family and the Jin family, a woman who has no relatives and no reason, why can she be arranged so carefully by Liao Yuan?

There are so many poor people in the world, if you want Yuanzhen to be like this, then this aunt's nunnery has already become a hall of kindness.

Lin Yutong didn't reveal the matter, but looked down at Bai Shi: "You came to me because you have something to say."

Bai Shi nodded, flipped his hand, and grabbed Lin Yutong's fingers: "Mother... I just understand how stupid I was before... I'm lying here, and I've reached the end of the road day by day... Turn around Looking back, I realized that the ones who treated me sincerely in this life were my family members... My mother was between me and my sister-in-law, and never favored my sister-in-law... My husband treated me...very good... Thinking back carefully, if I hadn't been wholeheartedly running towards Xu My family, if I am willing to live a good life... then everything will be different... how can I get to where I am today... But I know, it's too late for me to say anything, I'm sorry for my parents, I'm sorry for my husband, and I'm even more sorry Child... Cousin Wen's family is right, I don't have parents to protect me, I lack a home of my own, how can I let my children live like that... Ever since I left home, I have been thinking about this every day , My intestines are turning green with regret...Nowadays, I don't have many days to live. When I really want to close my eyes, I realize that the ones I can't let go are my husband and sister Yuan...The only closest relatives in this world are Leave their father and daughter..."

"You want to see them?" Lin Yutong's brows furrowed slightly again... Let the child look at his mother like this?

"No! I don't have any face to see him and the child..." Bai Shi struggled to sit up, but Lin Yutong pushed her down, "You can lie down, it's the same when you lie down."

Bai Shi was lying down, panting heavily: "I'm looking for my mother... I want to tell you something..." After saying that, she looked at Yuan.

Liao Yuan nodded towards Lin Yutong, and slowly withdrew from the inside.

Then Bai said: "You have to be careful of the Xu family... Mother, be careful of the Xu family... The Xu family won't be so willing... You believe me! In their eyes, is there anyone in the Jin family who can't be used? I'm worried... I'm worried...Sister Sui...I don't want my daughter to become someone else's pawn like me..."

"Sister Sui is my granddaughter, the eldest granddaughter of Sifang. Don't worry, we will try our best to give her the best in the world. We will do our best to make her grow up happily and live happily ever after. ..." Lin Yutong patted her, "You should rest..." After saying that, she was about to get up.

"Mother!" Bai grabbed Lin Yutong's cuff, "Mother...you have to be careful of the queen...be careful of the queen...she wants to harm you...I don't know the reason...but I'm sure she really said that... Mother, you believe me... You are sister Sui's real grandmother. If you are alive, sister Sui will be guaranteed for a day... If you are gone, what will my sister do in the back house? Mother... Xu's family You can't stay, you have to stop future troubles... future troubles..."

Endless troubles?

Lin Yutong stretched out her hand to comfort Bai Shi, "Okay! I know! I will be careful. I know Xiao Xu has been to the palace, and her whereabouts can't be hidden from me, so she can't harm me either."

Only then did Mrs. Bai seem to breathe a sigh of relief, nodded her head, and then burst into tears, "...in this life...God told me to have no father or mother. When I entered Jin's house, God gave me Compensation for me... Father and mother treated me, now that I think about it, they are no worse than my own daughter, they were all sincere... Father can give shelter to the family, mother is kind and never makes things difficult, I have thought of parents who I didn't expect, The couple quarreled, and the parents trained their sons and their daughters-in-law... This is the one who really treats me like a daughter... It's a pity that I lost my good fortune... If there is a next life, I will definitely do it well Mother's daughter-in-law... I put my husband in my heart... If there is a next life..."

"Don't talk..." Lin Yutong let her breathe, pressed the sleeping point calmly, and told her to sleep.Seeing that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and finally only two tears were left on her face, she took the handkerchief beside her pillow and wiped away the tears for her.

Liao Yuan came in eagerly, and saw the fourth grandma of the Jin family carefully wiping the patient's face, her originally pale face suddenly turned paler, tears came down almost instantly, and she stared blankly at the patient. Dare to move.

Lin Yutong folded the handkerchief and put it in place, then sighed, "It's okay...she just fell asleep. In three or two days, it should be fine. I'll ask someone to bring the pills...you If you believe me, just break the pills with warm water and drink them every morning, noon and night. After drinking for a few months, I will tell you what to do when your body is clean... In short, she is not as oily yet. For the sake of being hopelessly exhausted..."

Liao Yuan looked at Lin Yutong in astonishment, then came over in three or two steps, stretched out his hand to touch the person on the kang, sobbed uncontrollably, then his knees softened, and he knelt down to Lin Yutong with a plop: "Thank you, grandma..."

"You're welcome." Lin Yutong sighed, "What should I say, she always calls me mother when it comes to this." She turned around and reached out to support Yuan, "You are her... "

"I know I can't hide it from Grandma Fourth!" Liao Yuan's eyes were full of pain, "...I am her mother..."

Lin Yutong sighed, "I guessed it! At this level, she can take such good care of her. There is no one else but her own mother. If it weren't for you...she wouldn't be able to survive now. These days, for her illness, you have to worry about it."

"It's just that I owe her!" Liao Yuan looked at the person lying on the bed, "Her baby name is Bai'er...she is the biological daughter of me and the Xu family...she should have been named Xu."

what?

Liao Yuan's eyes showed a bit of sarcasm, "Yes! She is the Xu family's biological daughter. I was really the Xu family's adopted daughter back then. My grandfather's name was Yan Qingjun, and he was the last commander of the Imperial Forest Army in the Palace of Dayan Kingdom. ... My grandfather knows best how Master Xu 'killed' the Last Emperor of Yan. Since Mr. Xu beat someone because he 'killed' the Last Emperor, someone must die in the palace... To win the trust of the late emperor. Mr. Xu is devoted to seeking the country, so my grandfather will naturally sacrifice himself for the great cause of Dayan... There are almost no guards in the palace alive. So many people are willing to die, regardless of their family members. So I was buried for the Great Yan Kingdom... When it came to the Great Zhou Dynasty, my father and my uncles didn't know the truth about my grandfather's death, and they refused to bow down. So... they were also condemned and sent for distribution, and finally died on the way to distribution. My mother and I were sold to Jiaofang. My mother couldn't bear the humiliation, so she hanged herself with a rope. I was still young, so the Xu family tried to take me back... I was still young, so I didn't understand what was going on. After thinking about it, I realized that the timing of the Xu family's appearance was so coincidental. My father and uncle had an accident, and the Xu family didn't care! Knowing that ordinary women can't stand Jiaofang, why didn't they show up at that time? ...Of course, this will only be understood after a long, long time, when I can calm down and think about it. At that time, I was still young and didn't understand anything. Later, I was raised by Xu's family... I grew up day by day Daddy, I gradually developed feelings for the uncle of the Xu family. At that time, I was also stupid, and I imagined whether I could stay in the Xu family forever, even as a concubine... But the Xu family did not raise us for nothing , Knowing about us, Mr. Xu wanted to beat the uncle to death in front of me... How can I watch him die? Isn't it just to let me marry? I will marry! I will marry... a small official in the capital The surname of the junior official is Bai, and he works in the Ministry of Industry... His ancestor was a general and junior supervisor who participated in the construction of the Dayan Palace..."

Lin Yutong was surprised, "You are for the blueprints that the Bai family may have saved..."

"Yes!" Liao Yuan took a deep breath, "The two generations of the Bai family all died suddenly. The family didn't know what kind of job the Bai family took. At first, Mr. Xu thought that the Bai family was sent to build the underground palace... Then one year, it rained heavily for three days and three nights, and a section of the moat in the palace overflowed It's...but the strange thing is...the overflowing water doesn't know where it went..."

Is there a secret passage in the palace?

Liao Yuan nodded again, then reached into his bosom, and took out a greased paper bag, "Indeed there is. The Bai family did keep it. I stole it, but I kept it in mind and only gave it to the Xu family. Half of it, it is said that the other half is hidden somewhere, and I have to find it slowly... This is the remaining half in my hand. This thing is very important to the Bai family. If it is lost, I know that the Bai family will not let it go So I acted preemptively, and poisoned my husband to death on the way to incense... I had someone notify the old man of the Xu family in advance, and told him that he would get the other half this time, and he really came... When he comes, let's see When it comes to people who are already dead... I said I missed it, but he didn't believe it. He just made the scene as if he was killed by a robber, and then took Bai'er away...I thought to myself, they all know that Bai'er As long as Bo'er can marry a good man and live a good life in a down-to-earth way, then I can give him half of the blueprint... you know When Baier married into the Jin family, I was very happy. I used to wander around the Jin family's way in and out every day, I just hoped...to see what my son-in-law is like! He is really a handsome boy... It's also decent... Fourth Master and Fourth Grandmother don't have a bad reputation outside, besides, we all know that Fourth Grandma is from the northwest border, and the rules are probably not so strict... I thought to myself, my eldest aunt is actually my aunt, Grandmother is an aunt, and she is such a good son-in-law, so life will definitely be better... Coincidentally, the Xu family was not in Beijing at that time, and something happened to the Jin family before I could give it to him... I watched you leave Jing, but who knows, when we meet again, my daughter will look like that..."

No one told the child that she was actually the young lady of the Xu family.

Even the biological father of the child who knew about it did not reveal the matter.She watched Xiao Xu holding Xu Chun, her nephew, in her palm, and how she trampled her own niece, Baier... Regret welled up in her heart, but... her daughter has become like this, and she still has to wait family money to buy medicine.Her small nunnery is not bad if it can keep the children from starving. There is no way to raise a sick person.Therefore, she obediently accepted Xiao Xu's orders.

Until... Seeing that his biological daughter was no longer a child, the child kept calling Sister Sui, and calling Mother one by one.She thought the child knew that she was his own mother, so she said, "Mother is here! Mother has always been here."

Who knew that even though she was confused, she shook her head, "You are not mother... Mother is at Jin's house..."

She thought it was Xiao Xu.Who knew that the child said again: "...Sister Sui's grandmother...my mother...she is so kind to me..."

A mother who can make her daughter think about it when she is dying is different in the child's heart after all.The child's wish is gone, she has to help.If you can't invite them yourself, you can only play tricks.

These days, when she was in a daze, her daughter talked about these past experiences intermittently... She wanted to scold her daughter... But people are like this, so what can I say?

Unexpectedly, she just wanted to fulfill her wish, but times turned around.Now, no matter who said there was a way to keep her daughter alive, she would believe it.

Without the slightest hesitation, she handed over the hidden half of the blueprint, "I know this thing is useless for the time being...but...this is the only thing I can get out...yesterday, I also met the big Grandma, she also said that there is a way to save Bai'er, but I don't believe her. I know what she wants...but I would rather die than leave it to her. It doesn't matter if you think I'm selfish, this thing stays in the Here, it can only be the reminder for our mother and daughter..."

Lin Yutong took it anyway, it was his chance to get in touch with the Xu family.As long as Xiao Xu still wants this thing, she will find it sooner or later. She unfolded it and took a look, and told Yuan, "If she wants to find you again, just tell her that you gave me this thing. Just tell the truth! "As he said, he glanced at Mrs. Bai on the bed, "Also, tell Mrs. Xu... this is also the daughter of the Xu family. No matter what, she will never trouble you again. Mrs. Xu... yes Others are ruthless, but they cherish the blood of the Xu family. Especially when there are not many people left in the Xu family, she will not make things difficult for you."

The light of hope in Liao Yuan's eyes dimmed a little bit. If the fourth grandma said so, she definitely had no plans to take her daughter back.

Too!I have been greedy.It's great to be alive...

Lin Yutong didn't ask her to see her off, but came out by herself.Fourth Master was watching Jin Yi tidy up those peach branches.After tidying up the bundles one by one, "Put it in the car." Seeing that Tongtong came out, he settled Jinyi in this way, and then greeted him.

Just one mountain ago, she smelled the smell of medicine on Tongtong's body, and she asked firmly, "Is it the Bai family?"

Lin Yutong was surprised, "Have you checked here?"

What are you doing here?

Didn't the aunt say that she met an old friend before?Who can there be?Little Xu and Bai.Tongtong is not that patient with Xiao Xu.For Mrs. Bai... Even for Sister Sui's sake, she wouldn't do anything wrong.

Lin Yutong nodded, and took fourth master to the back mountain, and then explained what happened just now, "...the psychological feeling of a child with a mother or without a mother is different. If a mother is alive, even if it is not common, in The child knows in his heart that I have a mother... I have a mother, and my heart is at ease..."

No matter how much grandparents love them, no one can replace the mother's place in the child's heart.

Fourth master only said 'hmm', Tongtong is like this, sometimes her mouth is hard, but when it comes to things, she can't be hard-hearted.

The two chattered along the way, such as Yan Qingjun and Bai's family that Liao Yuan said, these things, the fourth master knows, but Lin Yutong doesn't know, fourth master and Tongtong science popularization.

What is there to see in the barren mountains and ridges in the first month of the lunar year.The wind was cold and hard, the trees were bare, the grass was withered and yellow lying on the ground, and the snow in the shade of the mountain was covered with snow before it melted. It was really nothing to see.

But after going around the back mountain, standing on a high place, you can clearly see the thatched cottage hidden in the mountain forest.

Lin Yutong frowned: "Where does Mrs. Xu live?"

Barren mountains and wild mountains, I wouldn't live there if I borrowed them in Guzi'an!

Fourth master asked Tongtong: "Didn't Liaoyuan tell you who lives here?"

Tongtong sighed: "Maybe she still has the idea of ​​asking Mrs. Bai to go back to Jin's house, but I didn't agree."

It was the sperm of an insecure person, and he always kept some cards in his hand.The Xu family is well hidden. If she sells the Xu family out, the little Xu family will not tolerate her.

Therefore, it would be nice if she could give a hint, saying that she would not say anything.

As soon as Tongtong said this, the fourth master stopped Tongtong who was about to go down, "Then come here! There is no need to continue watching... For the sake of Sister Sui, tell them to live quietly here! But the Xinggong By the way, we really need to investigate. Xu Shinian may even want to kill me, why would he want to deal with you?"

That's right!

It doesn't make sense!

Tongtong joked: "Could it be that he has a crush on you?" After finishing speaking, he felt it was funny.Even if she fell in love with her, can a queen marry someone else?Kill someone's wife, and she won't be able to be the second wife.

Fourth Master also laughed, she always thinks about women first when it comes to things related to women, "Why don't we make trouble like this?"

What is this all about!

But they didn't know that Xu Shinian was sleeping deeply on the couch at this moment, breaking into the dream again...
