Chapter 9: A Bolt from the Clear
Su Sanye's hearty laughing voice came, "Wanzhen my niece, my little uncle has good news for you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
For this little uncle with a lively temperament who can always bring happiness wherever he goes, Xu Wan is really very welcome. She smiled and saluted, and asked, "Can the little uncle go and greet my grandmother?"
When Su Sanye heard this, his eyes widened, "Am I such a person who doesn't know how to be polite? It turns out that I am such a person in Zhen'er's heart, oh, my heart hurts." "Hold your heart and make it painful. Xu Wanzhen burst out laughing, and even the eyes of Mama Zheng, who had always been stern, were full of smiles. Sang Zi and Ge Ma looked at each other and smiled, as long as the little uncle of the Su family came, the young lady would be in a good mood.
Outside the yard, there was a "kicking" footstep, Xu Wenyu ran in front with his little short legs, and the nurse followed behind and panted. Seeing Su Sanye, Xu Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards him with a "whew". Su Sanye was acting there, and he was caught off guard and fell to the ground. "Oops, my old waist. Yu'er, you're so enthusiastic, I can't resist it. The crowd was startled at first, and then burst into laughter regardless of it.
Xu Wanzhen laughed so much that tears came out, Mama Zheng hid her face and laughed, Sang Zi trembled with laughter, and Ge Ma laughed so much that she couldn't straighten her waist and shouted stomach pain. The nurse was already running out of breath, but before she could slow down, she saw this again, and fell to the ground laughing directly, saying in her heart that this little uncle of the Su family is really a living treasure.
Su Sanye hugged Xu Wenyu, didn't get up, and scratched the itchy flesh on his waist when he lay on the ground. Xu Wenyu giggled happily, and the harazi flowed down, and the pasty Su Sanye's face was all over his face.
When the uncle and nephew were almost playing, Xu Wanzhen picked up Xu Wenyu, kissed the little cheek, and said, "Yu'er, are you hungry?"
Xu Wenyu nodded fiercely, and looked at Xu Wanzhen with sparkling eyes, "Sister, you are so powerful, you can even know that I am hungry." The milky words made Xu Wan's sincerity melt when she heard it.
"Sister, there is Poria cake here, you eat a piece to cushion your stomach first, and we will have lunch together later." ”
The nurse came up to pick up Xu Wenyu and followed Ge Ma to get snacks to eat.
Seeing Su Sanye coming, he just had something to say to him. Seeing that the sky was just right, Xu Wanzhen instructed Sang Zi to make tea, and the two sat on both sides of the bluestone round table in the courtyard and talked.
"Zhen'er, do you know that I have found an excellent location for the medical center?" said Su Sanye with great interest.
Xu Wanzhen was surprised: "Can you find it so soon?"
Su Sanye said: "I didn't expect that I wouldn't believe it when the Chinese talked to me." It was originally an industry under the name of Mrs. Taishou in Suzhou, and now Liu Taishou has been promoted to the interview envoy of Hedong Province, and he will go to Beijing to report on his work before the year. Time was tight, so I was in a hurry to make a move. He took a sip of tea and said: "I have been to see it, the house is at the Baihua Bridge of the Bachelor River, not far from the pier and not too noisy, there are many people coming and going, and there is some quiet in the middle of the noise. The front door is facing the street as a shop, the yard can dry medicinal herbs, and there are a few side rooms where people can live. The back door is the Bachelor River, the boat is easy to dock, it was originally a pharmacy, and it is very convenient to open a medical center. ”
Xu Wanzhen listened quietly with a smile, and Su Sanye remembered something and said, "By the way, the old lady said that you have something to tell me?"
"Well, I'm going to go to Beijing in 100 days after my mother, and my father and brother are still in prison, so I really can't stay in Suzhou with peace of mind. ”
"What?" Su Sanye was so shocked that he spilled the tea, and said hurriedly: "You are a young lady who has not yet reached the end of your life, and you are still in the filial piety period, and you can't even go out independently." What if I go to the capital?"
Xu Wanzhen hurriedly called Sang Zi to clean up the tea stains for Su Sanye, and said angrily: "Little uncle, don't worry. Look at your robe, it's ruined. Said to Mama Zheng: "Please go to the outer courtyard to get a set of elder brother's clothes." "Only Mama Zheng can enter and leave the inner and outer courtyards freely.
Regarding the inside story of Uncle Xu and the eldest young master's case, Mrs. Xu's secrecy is very good, except for her and Xu Wanzhen, none of her relatives and servants know, otherwise Mama Zheng would not take this risk to be Xu Wanzhen's parenting grandma. Therefore, Su Sanye was extremely puzzled by Xu Wanzhen's visit to Beijing.
"Little uncle," Xu Wanzhen looked into Su Sanye's eyes, "I have a reason why I have to go, can you trust me?"
Seeing the seriousness and persistence in Xu Wanzhen's eyes, Su Sanye couldn't help but nodded: "Since that's the case, I won't ask." But you have to take care of your body, and that's not going to happen right now. After a little thought, he said, "No, I still can't rest assured." In this way, I will go back to Changzhou to report to A-Niang, and I will go to Beijing with you after the New Year. ”
Xu Wanzhen was surprised when she heard this: "Isn't your medical clinic in Suzhou open, uncle? Also, your parents are not far away." ”
Su Sanye waved his hand and said: "That's the rule of your big family, we don't pay attention to this when we practice medicine, your grandmother is still your grandfather who traveled the world when he was young." There was a look of yearning in his eyes as he spoke: "I'm also going to find a beautiful daughter-in-law to come back." ”
Xu Wan really spoke to him seriously, and when she heard him suddenly say this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, hurriedly covered her mouth, and said: "Grandma will definitely not agree, little uncle, you are Grandma's treasure." It's okay to come to Suzhou, but the capital is high and long. ”
Su Sanye didn't care: "Don't worry, I will agree." ”
"But didn't you come to Suzhou to open a medical center?"
"Isn't that to take care of you nearby??" Halfway through the words, Su Sanye realized that he had slipped out of his mouth and scratched his head embarrassedly, "Grandma won't let me say it." ”
If this is the case, although Xu Wanzhen had already guessed in her heart, when she heard Su Sanye say it herself, the two generations of people felt the love of their relatives who paid silently without asking in return, her eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up: "Little uncle, you?"
Su Sanye was busy: "Don't be like this, we are opening a medical hall everywhere." ”
Xu Wanzhen restrained her emotions, silently put the care of her relatives in the bottom of her heart, and said, "What about that house, the conditions are so suitable, what is the plan of the little uncle?"
Speaking of this, Su Sanye scratched his head in annoyance, "Wait until I look back and think about it." ”
After the two finished speaking, it was almost noon, and because Xu Wan was really a vegetarian, Mrs. Xu specially sent Yulu to send two dishes. The nurse brought Xu Wenyu over, and the three of them had lunch together. There is the lovely Xu Wenyu, and the living treasure Su Sanye, this meal is relaxed and happy, Sang Zi and Ge Ma haven't seen Miss so happy for a long time.
After finishing the meal, Mama Zheng said, "Miss, I still have to ask Su Sanye some questions here." The young lady took a nap to continue the course, and in the afternoon she still practiced words first. Speaking of learning characters, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but hold her forehead, and Sang Zi couldn't help but snicker.
After Sang Zi waited for Xu Wanzhen to rest, he saw that Su Sanye was still discussing with Mama Zheng. Listen to Su Sanye's words: "My daughter's family is not as good as a man, and she can't learn martial arts, but it's okay to practice boxing techniques with a strong physique." We often have to climb mountains and wade through rivers to practice medicine, and it is not okay to be in poor health, there is a set of five poultry plays that are circulated in the doctor's home, and I think I can change it and let it be practiced. ”
Mama Zheng said: "There are also some women's health methods in the palace, I wrote to the third young master, please refer to it together." ”
Su Sanye said: "Okay." However, I will rush back to Suzhou tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will send someone to send it when I am ready. Zhen'er's body is slowly raised first, and he is not in a hurry for a while, and the previous recipe continues to eat. ”
Su Sanye returned to Changzhou, and Xu Wanzhen's life was still on schedule. The climate became more humid and cold, charcoal basins were added to various parts of the house, and people also made winter clothes.
The water in the white porcelain bowl on Xu Wanzhen's head was added to more than half, and her painting skills were also improved, and the guqin playing made the listeners stop. Only calligraphy can only write the font strokes correctly. In this regard, Mama Xu can only sigh that Xu Wanzhen really lacks talent, and there is no better way.
In this regard, Xu Wan sincerely said that instead of wasting time, it is better to find another way. I discussed with Mama Zheng that I could practice a little bit on calligraphy and painting, focusing on my ability to specialize in appreciation.
Although Mama Zheng has seen a lot of calligraphy and painting treasures in the palace, she is restricted by identity and knowledge, and it is impossible to be proficient. Appreciation of calligraphy and painting, if it weren't for everyone who has been immersed in this way for decades, how could they talk about it? The two discussed, and asked their great-grandfather for guidance after going to Beijing.
The appreciation of calligraphy and painting is not an overnight effort, and it cannot solve the urgent need of Xu Wanzhen's calligraphy. Writing without seeing people is never a long-term solution. Xu Wan really frowned and pondered with a cup of hot tea, and suddenly heard a burst of chickens and dogs jumping outside, and asked, "What's going on outside?"
Ge Ma, who was guarding outside the house, lifted the curtain and came in, and said on his knees: "Miss Huiyu, it's the little master who is catching geese and playing." ”
Hearing that it was Xu Wenyu, the corners of Xu Wanzhen's mouth raised slightly: "Let's go, let's take a look." Ge Ma took a plain cloak and put it on Xu Wanzhen and went out.
Xu Wenyu's giggles came from outside Yingyun Pavilion, Xu Wanzhen went out to take a look, only to see Xu Wenyu catch a big white goose jumping up and down, and a few little girls blocked the goose's escape route. The nurse has to protect the little master, and she has to follow the instructions to catch the goose, and she is tired of running at both ends. Seeing Xu Wanzhen coming, she panted and said, "The eldest lady is here! The slave maid is going to help catch the goose, young master, don't come over, be careful that the goose pecks you." ”
Ge Ma hurriedly brought Xu Wenyu to Xu Wanzhen's side, and Xu Wanzhen asked softly, "What is Yu'er doing when you catch geese?"
Xu Wenyu's eyes were shining, and he said, "Sister, I have newly learned a poem, goose goose goose, song to the sky." The white hair floats in the green water, and the red anthurium plucks the clear waves. I just want to see if the big white goose is anthurium. "Xu Wenyu has just turned six years old, and Mrs. Xu has personally enlightened him, and he has not yet invited Mr. He has finished learning the "Three Character Classic", learns big characters every day, and teaches him some short verses.
Xu Wanzhen was in a trance for the first time, "Goose", a poem by King Luo Bin, her younger brother in modern times also recited it, it turns out that this Gaomang Dynasty also has King Luo Bin? It seems that history has not deviated much from the right track. I only heard Xu Wenyu shouting happily: "Caught it! Caught it!"
I saw that the big white goose was constantly fluttering in the little girl's arms, and the nurse grabbed the goose paw and asked Xu Wenyu to come and see. Xu Wenyu said excitedly: "Sister, look, it's really an anthurium! It doesn't seem to be so red." ”
Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly and said, "Yu'er has done a good job! Xu Wenyu nodded as if he didn't understand.
The big white goose fluttered all over the ground, and the rough mother-in-law took a broom to sweep it. Seeing this, a thought flashed through Xu Wanzhen's mind, so she asked Ge Ma to pick up a few thick goose feathers, and Xu Wanzhen looked at Ge Ma's hand carefully. Xu Wanzhen wanted to make quills, and in modern times, when she was studying at the Conservatoire Nationale de Music in Paris, France, she participated in some clubs. One of the societies was dedicated to the restoration of medieval European objects, including quills. Since you can't control the brush, you can make a quill and calligraphy with a hard pen is always no problem.
However, modern production methods cannot be copied, and some processes are not available in this dynasty, so they have to find other methods to replace them.
When Xu Wanzhen was thinking hard about the quill, the Xu family encountered big trouble in the process of selling the property.
