Chapter Forty-Eight: Old Lady Zhao
The layout of the courtyard is not luxurious, only three small pavilions and a large flower garden.
Bypassing an unknown flowerbed with small yellow flowers, is a two-storey building, called "Listening to the Rain Building", and behind the small building is a very large lotus pond. It is the season when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, the breeze blows across the lake, the pink lotus is swaying, the green leaves are sparkling, and the fragrance comes to the nose.
Lin Wan continued to walk forward with Lu Bing while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Walk to the end of the lotus pond, a three-story pavilion comes into view, and the plaque reads "Listening to the Wind Building".
Standing at the door of Tingfeng Tower, a middle-aged man in his thirties, gentle and elegant, saw Lin Wan and others coming, and stepped forward to greet him.
Lin Wan took two quick steps, stopped in front of the middle-aged man, bowed to Yingying, and called crisply: "Uncle!"
Zhao Fengwen hurriedly stepped forward, supported Lin Wan, and said very kindly: "Wan'er doesn't have to be polite, get up, let my uncle take a good look." As he spoke, he pulled Lin Wan up, took a step back, and looked carefully, his eyes gradually turned red.
"Uncle, Wan'er likes it here, and decided to stay a few more days, so that my uncle can see me every day, okay?" Lin Wan felt extremely warm family affection, and her eyes were also hot.
"Okay, great, listening to the rain pavilion is for you, and finally when you come to live, your grandfather will be even happier. Zhao Fengwen patted Lin Wan's little shoulder, and his infinite joy was beyond words.
"Uncle, let's go see my grandfather first. Lin Wan said with a smile.
"Okay, follow me. Zhao Fengwen took Lin Wan's hand and walked towards the hall, followed by Wang Qi and Zhou Tianqi.
The inner hall is very spacious, but the furnishings are extremely simple, and there is no maid ring to serve, only one guard waiting outside the door.
Zhao Zhengxiang was lying on the wide bed, his face was pale, his thick eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his tiger eyes were closed, looking very uncomfortable.
Lin Wan and the others approached quietly, Zhao Zhengxiang slowly opened his eyes, saw the little person in front of him clearly, opened his eyes wide, and muttered in his mouth: "Liniang......"
Lin Wan stepped forward quickly, knelt in front of the bed, inexplicably, her tears were a little uncontrollable, and she called in a dumb voice: "Grandpa, it's me, I'm Wan'er, I'm coming to see you." ”
Zhao Fengwen walked over, helped Lin Wan up, and then gently picked up Zhao Zhengxiang and asked him to sit up.
Zhao Zhengxiang was born in the military, and in his illness, he also sat up straight. Pulled Lin Wan to sit on the edge of the bed, his eyes gradually returned to clarity, and asked, "Wan'er, is your mother okay?"
"Grandpa, my mother is fine, you can rest assured. Lin Wan stared at Zhao Zhengxiang's eyes and replied very affirmatively.
"Okay, that's good. It's my grandfather who is sorry for your mother, I shouldn't have let her ...... in the first place" Zhao Zhengxiang said halfway, remembering that his father should not have scolded her in front of Lin Wan, so he hurriedly changed the topic again, and continued: "Your uncle and I rushed back after receiving the news, Wan'er, what's going on?"
"It's all Wan'er, she didn't make it clear, which made my grandfather worried. Lin Wan hurriedly explained, gently pushed Zhao Zhengxiang back, leaned on the soft pillow, and continued: "It's a long story, grandpa leans comfortably, and listens to Wan'er speak slowly." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang nodded, obediently half leaning on the soft pillow, with a pleased smile on his face.
Lin Wan Zhengse said: "Grandpa, you are the strongest backing of your mother, only if you are good, only when the Zhao family is strong, no one dares to hurt your mother." In the same way, your mother is your weakness, and people who want to deal with you will also want to start with your mother. ”
Lin Wan said vaguely, but Zhao Zhengxiang heard it very clearly, stared at him, and asked, "Who is it?"
Lin Wan was also unambiguous, and replied simply: "Your Majesty." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang knew in his heart that the emperor wanted to suppress the Zhao family, but he didn't expect that his little granddaughter would have such sharp eyes, speak categorically, and have no scruples. Zhao Zhengxiang turned his head to look at the other people in the room, then looked back at Lin Wan, frowned, and blamed: "What are children talking nonsense." ”
Lin Wan smiled slightly and explained: "Xiaoqi is the person next to me, with excellent medical skills, I asked her to treat you." Then he pointed at Zhou Tianqi and said, "This is the Seventh Prince, and he is not an outsider." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang was even more shocked, although he knew that the Seventh Prince was a descendant of the Feng family and was a soldier under his eldest son. But he had never met the Seven Princes, and he didn't know what position he was now standing between the royal family and the Feng clan. But in any case, he is the emperor's son after all, how can Lin Wan have no scruples in front of the Seven Princes?
Zhou Tianqi stepped forward, bowed respectfully, made his position clear, and said sincerely: "Grandpa, Tianqi and Ruichen are like brothers, and I have always envied Ruichen for the love and teaching of my grandfather and uncle. When Apocalypse was in the army, General Zhao treated me and Ruichen the same way, impartially. I hope my grandfather will treat me as his own grandson and not see me. ”
Zhao Zhengxiang saw Zhou Tianqi's respectful and sincere attitude, so he put his mind at ease, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, okay, the Seventh Prince, please take a seat." ”
Zhou Tianqi was also very happy in his heart, sat on the low stool next to the bed, and said with a slight smile: "Grandpa, just call me Tianqi." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang nodded with satisfaction, in a good mood.
"Xiaoqi, come and help my grandfather check his pulse. Lin Wan called.
"Yes, miss. Wang Qi walked to the bedside, first saluted Zhao Zhengxiang, and then put his fingers on Zhao Zhengxiang's wrist to carefully check the pulse.
After a while, Wang Qi withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "The old lady's illness is half cured when I see the young lady." The old lady is in good health, and the wind and cold are no longer hindered, but the depression in her heart causes the wind and cold to be delayed. I prescribe a prescription, drink a decoction for three days, and soak in a bath to ward off the cold, and I will recover within three days. ”
Zhao Fengwen called two guards to come in and followed Wang Qi to find Dr. Liu to get medicine. Dr. Liu used to be a military doctor and had followed Zhao Zhengxiang for many years, but thanks to him in Beijing this time, Zhao Zhengxiang was able to arrive in the capital so quickly.
Lin Wan was very happy, took Zhao Zhengxiang's hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I am your panacea, I will live here for three days, if you don't get up, I will go back to Beijing and ignore you." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang laughed, pulled Lin Wan in his arms, gently stroked the back of Lin Wan's head with his big palm, and said with a smile: "Wan'er is grandpa's panacea, and grandpa is already well now." ”
Lin Wanwo was in Zhao Zhengxiang's arms, feeling very warm, and sat up for a long time before he sat up, and smiled at Zhao Zhengxiang: "Grandpa, you can rest for a while, Xiaoqi stays to take care of you, Wan'er lives in Tingyu Building, come to accompany you at dinner, and eat with you, okay?"
Zhao Zhengxiang nodded, and Zhao Fengwen hurriedly stepped forward to help him lie down.
Zhou Tianqi also stood up, bowed down and said, "Grandpa have a good rest, and Tianqi has also taken his leave." ”
Zhao Zhengxiang smiled and nodded, waving his hand to indicate that there was no need to be polite.
After Zhao Fengwen sent Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi out of Tingfeng Tower, he turned around and went back to the inner hall.
