Ling makeup, small characters and eyebrows, Shunzuo was born in the fifteenth year, and he was in the eighteenth year.

Born in a merchant family, everything is complicated, Ling Dongcheng is illiterate, but he knows how to raise his children.

Ling Xiang's wet nurse was a wandering Langzhong before his death, and he had no long things, only leaving two baskets of medical books and pharmacopoeia and a few drawers of strange utensils.

Unexpectedly, since she was sensible, Ling Makeup did not like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, did not like embroidery female red, and was addicted to it, self-taught, and extremely talented. In addition, the Ling family opened a large medicine hall, she ran to the hall every day to grope for the hope, smell, and inquiry, and after getting the advice of a few famous doctors sitting in the hall, her spiritual sense suddenly opened, and she realized many unheard of methods, and cured some other helpless diseases.

The world knows the demeanor of a doctor, but in fact, it is the way that doctors uphold.

Ling Dongcheng has a lively mind, good luck in business, and has developed all the way, but the business has become bigger, and the troubles he encounters are as many as the sand of the Ganges, and he is illiterate, so he has suffered a lot of losses, so he has always raised his eldest daughter as a son.

Ling Xiang has no talent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female celebrity cooking, but he is a vassal and elegant in Ling Dongcheng, and he has asked someone to teach him a thing or two.

However, she is full of reading, in addition to being obsessed with medicine, especially love to study the laws of the Great Yin, and love to read wild history miscellaneous books, all kinds of thoughts, and these ideas of finding a new way, but also make her different from the popular Taiping doctors, when encountering incurable diseases, they have the courage to take action, every time they save a person's life, the joy is naturally indescribable, gradually, gestures, unique charm, and the current boudoir women are very different.

When she was not out of the cabinet, Ling Xiang not only helped her mother with housework, socializing, but also often helped her father to check the accounts and write lawsuits.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, the bigger Ling makeup is, the more bright and moving, plus the Ling family is rich in the industry in the south of the Yangtze River, in the years when the boudoir is to be married, the official media and private media can be said to have stepped through the threshold of the Ling Mansion.

The Shen family is one of the many courtship, different from others, the Shen family has been a royal businessman for generations, and now it is in charge of the actual job of weaving in Hangzhou, the door is known as the Silk Mansion, and the three sons of Shen are the big boss Shen Wuzhen was originally married to his wife, and he looks better than Pan An, and the two families have many business contacts, and they are already good at the family before the marriage.

Everyone said that there was no guess, the golden boy and the jade girl, the right door, I heard a lot, Ling Dongcheng was a big old man who was fluttering, recalling that his family was thin, and he had no foundation in Hangzhou.

Three years after marriage, the first year of the newlywed Yan'er, Shen Lin is fresh and warm to his wife, but the man's behavior before and after marriage is always very different, and when Ling Makeup finds out that Shen Lin has a good temperament, and likes to fight cocks and fight cards, it is too late.

She was high-spirited and refused to give in, and Shen Lin was so angry that she went out to play with fox friends and dog friends. There are many prostitutes in Hangzhou, who have their own glamorous bones, outstanding poetry, tactful and joyful, and have more contact with women, so he classifies his wife as a tigress in his heart, so he is too lazy to get close.

Ling Xiang looked down on Shen Lin in his heart, and he didn't treat each other softly, and every time he went to his own medical hall to be busy, the two became more and more estranged.

The mother-in-law has not seen her for a long time, and gradually has more verbal lessons, quite a bit of a concubine for the third child, because her life in the Shen family is not smooth, fortunately, she is a genuine young grandmother, and she brought a rich dowry, but no one dares to blatantly bully the head.

This time, Ling Dongcheng was suspected of violating the ban on the sea, forcibly occupying private land, selling prohibited goods from the imperial court, hoarding, and bribery, and all his family assets were confiscated.

Mrs. Ling's maiden family is in a town 100 miles away from Hangzhou, and her maternal grandparents are too old to be alarmed at will.

When he was rich, naturally some members of the Ling clan went to Hangzhou to take refuge, but now they are afraid of being implicated, so they have long fled back to their hometown with their belongings. Therefore, without thinking, Ling Xiang took his mother and brother and his grandmother in a carriage to return to Shenfu.

It was still noon, the gate of the Shen Mansion was closed, Ling Makeup took his brother's hand, and Liluo and Taoxin helped Mrs. Ling into the East Corner Gate.

Liluo asked cautiously: "Third grandmother, do you want to go back to the eldest wife?" ”

In the past, Mrs. Ling came to the door, and the eldest lady of the Shen Mansion, Fan, was naturally warmly received, and the female relatives in the house would basically come to sit with each other for a while, Ling Makeup thought about the difference between today and the past, and said that it was also past the time to ask for peace, and when she raised her eyes to see that her mother's soul was not possessed, she had the intention to let them rest first, and wanted to discuss with Shen Lin in the evening, and then go to explain the temporary residence of her mother-in-law and brother, so she waved her hand to stop the maid, and led her mother and younger brother Lingyun back to her own courtyard.

Seeing that his mother was hard to swallow and his younger brother was crying, he asked Mama Zeng to take Ling Yun to rest in the ear room in the small courtyard, and then personally served his mother to go to bed and lie down in the back of his head.

Lian stared at his daughter in a trance for a long time, but did not speak.

Ling Xiangqiang smiled and comforted: "Mother doesn't have to worry too much, my daughter sent Brother Shi to take a lot of entanglements all the way to Lingnan with her father, there are few points on the road, my father will suffer a lot less, you go to sleep first, watch your body." ”

The stone brothers mentioned by Ling Xiang are orphans raised by Ling Dongcheng, and they are very loyal, but they can be trusted.

After listening to his daughter's words, Lian's expression was strange, and he suddenly shook off Ling Xuan's hand and cried: "Sure enough, it is useless to give birth to a daughter, but it is difficult for your younger brother to be a big responsibility, and he always cries so much, but why don't I see you have any tears?" Could it be that your father didn't love you enough in the past? Could it be that you don't care about your mother's family when you get married? ”

Ling Makeup's first thought was: Is it useful to cry? The Ling family has no one in charge, and if they cry and cry by themselves, not only will it not help, but they will not be able to arrange what should be done. But in the face of the mother who was a little dazed, what could he do except sigh.

"Your father-in-law has someone in the Ming and Ming dynasties, and he doesn't take care of your father, what kind of heart do they have?" Lian continued to babble with tears in his eyes.

Shen Wuzhen's refusal to meddle in his father's affairs is obviously to avoid it, not to mention that the Ling family's case involves many officials, and it is understandable for the Shen family to protect their lives for a large family, but these words cannot be told to their mother. In the past few days, I went to my mother's side to take care of her at dawn, and I couldn't sleep at night, Ling Makeup was already physically and mentally exhausted, and at this time, only her temples were throbbing slightly, and her lips opened, and she couldn't get half a word back.

Fortunately, Lian's family is not really arranging her daughter, it's just that she has always been cared for, and when disaster comes, there is no one to complain about, so she has some complaints indiscriminately.

Ling Makeup knew her mother's temperament, so she naturally didn't care about her, and coaxed her to fall into her pillow with kind words, so she hurriedly went back to the room and prescribed two doses of a calming and refreshing prescription, handed over to the maid to grab the medicine and decoction, and told her to send it to her mother and brother respectively, and then go and change out of her dirty skirt.

Ling Xiang pondered in her heart and discussed with Shen Lin, how to get her father-in-law to go to Beijing to reconcile her father, she thought that now that the case had been settled, she would make some money, maybe she could let her father end his exile career and go home for reunion as soon as possible.

As soon as he changed into a clean dress, Ling Xiang heard a lot of movement outside.

"The third young grandmother is here? The eldest lady invited her to talk to the Silk Hall, and quickly went with me. It seems to be the voice of Wu Cungui's family next to his mother-in-law Fan.

This Wu Cungui's family is the most powerful companion room around the Fan family, and he is very measured in his words and actions on weekdays, Ling Makeup was very polite when he heard her words, sneered in his heart, stabilized the hosta in his hair, and stepped out of the room.

Wu Cungui's family saw Ling Makeup, and pulled the corners of his mouth to smile: "The old lady is waiting in the hall, and I ask grandma to come over quickly." Without waiting for Ling Makeup's reaction, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Ling Xuan frowned, feeling that today's incident was quite strange.

In the past, if the Fan family looked for her, it would be enough to send a little girl, and there would be no need for Wu Cungui's family to run away; In addition, the Silk Hall is the main hall of the Shen Mansion, which is used for the reception of important guests or the New Year's festival and other matters.

Before she could think about it, she raised her eyes and saw a little maid sweeping in the courtyard, so she called by her side and went straight to Size Hall.

Stepping into the main hall from the porch, I saw at a glance that in addition to Shen Wuzhen and Fan's sitting on the top, several uncles and aunts were also present, the five young masters, the three concubines and two concubines in the Shen family's big house, and the two young grandmothers and the three young ladies who had not left the pavilion were standing on both sides.

The Shen family has a deeper foundation than the Ling family, but it is not a long history in the local area, the brothers moved from Shandong to Hangzhou, Shen Wuzhen is the patriarch, and he is completely in the house, and several uncles are attached to him to make a living, and there is no right to speak at all on weekdays. Putting on this posture is nothing more than Shen Wuzhen has something to announce.

Ling Xiang tried to settle down, walked steadily to the center of the hall, and saluted the elders one by one.

The three aunts usually look up to Ling makeup, but at this time, when they received her gift, their faces showed more or less embarrassment, and they staggered their eyes.

Ling Xiang straightened her back and lowered her head, wanting to stand silently under Shen Lin's head.

"Stand still!" Shen Wuzhen opened his mouth, his voice was not loud, but it was extremely indifferent.

The rules of the Shen family are not small, and on weekdays, Shen Wuzhen does not talk to his daughter-in-law at all, Ling Makeup was slightly stunned, stood still and bowed his head again: "I don't know what Daddy has to teach." ”

Shen Wuzhen is fifty years old, his body is quite large, sitting on the eighty-percent new Huanghuali official hat chair, as if the whole person is shyly and paralyzed on his stomach, the long flesh on his face has completely destroyed the handsomeness of the legendary youth, but it is a little more cruel.

Hearing Ling Xuan's words, he frowned slightly, raised his hand and waved it decisively: "This Daddy, I'm afraid I can't stand it." ”

Under Su Ri's prestige, Ling Xiang was a little afraid of him, but the meaning of his words was so serious that she forgot to maintain a modest and cautious attitude, and raised her head suddenly: "I don't know what Daddy means by this?" ”

Shen Wuzhen's face was expressionless, and his eyes swept over everyone present: "You have been married into my Shen family for three years, why don't you know the severity?" For the Ling family's affairs, he frequently showed up, was he afraid that the disaster water would not lead the Shen family? ”

Although she didn't want to think deeply, Ling Xiang had expected it to be for her mother's family, but she consciously had a clear conscience, glanced at Fan, and gave Shen Wuzhen a salute: "Daddy has taught you a lesson!" However, every time the daughter-in-law leaves home, she has shown her mother. ”

Shen Wuzhen turned his head and stared at his wife with a cold face: "Is what she said true?" ”

Ling Xiang naturally looked at Fan again.

Who knew that Fan Shi avoided her gaze at first, and then turned back and said coldly: "How did you ever take into account what I meant? I knew what you had done from below, and I was worried that it would harm the entire Shen family, so I made a decision. ”

"What else do you have to say?" Shen Wuzhen was aggressive, his eyes like lightning.

Ling Xuan really couldn't imagine that the person who was regarded as the second parent in the Shen Mansion would treat each other like this, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.

After marrying the Shen family, they went to the Ling family to borrow when they were not working; the warmth of her mother-in-law's desire to take over her dowry shop and farm; The women were smiling when they got the gifts, and several aunts and brothers and sisters from the concubine reported the expenses in her private money from time to time, no matter which headache and brain fever, diarrhea and typhoid fever, or even unspeakable gynecological diseases in the family, no need to ask a doctor, as long as they sent some medicine in their own small courtyard quietly, the medicine was always cured......

The past flashed in front of him, Ling Xiang only felt that there seemed to be a cold air on his back rushing to the back of his head, and he didn't have time to think too much, knowing in his heart that since they wanted to open their eyes and talk nonsense, it would be ridiculous to argue about whether they had told the Fan family, and asked in a dumb voice: "I don't know what the two adults mean, what do you want to do with me?" ”

The slight spring breeze blew into the atrium, and the wind of mid-spring carried the warmth of blowing on the face, but Ling Makeup only felt bitterly cold.
