Chapter 3 (1)
Shu is known as the land of abundance,
At its southern end, there is a mysterious, beautiful, rich place, where the green bamboo is close to the mountain, the waterfall flows, the stream is vertical and horizontal, the lake is quiet, the mountain and rock are majestic, the deep valley is secluded, so the natural danger here is difficult to break, easy to defend and difficult to attack, thousands of years from the unique.

Shunan Mountain is high and watery, rich in products, pleasant climate, coupled with the steep terrain, it is difficult for the war outside to burn here. The residents of Shu land enjoy a unique living environment, so they live very leisurely, and the people who survive in such a beautiful and colorful place are full of poetry and picturesqueness even if they are people in the mountains.
There is a special street in Shunan, which is special in its name. It is neither named after the government nor an ancient name that has been handed down, but after a person's name. And this person is neither a famous general who defended the country and praised the world, nor is he a famous minister of Qingtian who asks for his life for the people and is admired by the people, he is a doctor, to be precise, he is a court doctor who once served the royal driver but has never been officially suspended in the palace.
This imperial doctor has a lot of origins, he is the ancestor of the Lin family who is famous in Shunan, and the specific name is no longer available, and only leaves a nickname among the people, which happens to be the name of this street: "Xilin".
It is said that when the upright dynasty was founded, Emperor Gaozu led his troops to fight everywhere, and it was impossible to fight everywhere. Mr. Xilin's family was originally a wealthy family in Huaiyin, and his family has accumulated a lot of wealth by relying on the unparalleled medical skills passed down from his ancestors. However, in the end, the practice of medicine did not enter the stream, and the old father of the husband spent a lot of gold and silver to donate a small county official for him in order to make his son glorify his ancestors. But before he had time to put on the black gauze hat, Emperor Gaozu's army had already arrived at Huaiyin City.
Only three days after the destruction of Huaiyin City, Emperor Gaozu suddenly had a high fever and fell unconscious. His attendants sought medical treatment for Gaozu everywhere in the city, and when they heard that the Lin family's medical skills were unique in Huaiyin, they broke into the Lin family in the middle of the night and escorted Mr.'s father to the camp like a prisoner. After all, the old gentleman is old, soft-hearted and kind-hearted, he has never seen such a terrifying battle in his life, and he heard in his ears that "if it is not cured, he will raise his head to see" Yunyun, and he was even more frightened.
Mr. Xilin is a filial son, after he heard about his father's death training, he wore linen and filial piety to enter the Gaozu military camp alone, knelt in the camp and kowtowed to everyone and wept, and pleaded. He has a deep Lin family's medical skills, and as long as His Majesty returns all the remains of his father, he promises to do his best to heal His Majesty. Although everyone had doubts, there was no other way, so they had to consult the resourceful Chu military advisor, who saw that he was pure filial piety and benevolence, and decided that this person was credible, so he ordered him to give it a try immediately. If God blessed my Emperor Gaozu, Mr. Xilin's wonderful hand rejuvenated, His Majesty's destiny returned, and he turned evil into good fortune, and he was healed in a few days.
Mr. Cillin is a blessing in disguise. So from then on, he followed Gao Zu as an accompanying imperial doctor, and jumped from a low-grade sesame mung bean petty official to a five-grade imperial doctor. Two years later, just as the army was about to break through Kaifeng, it was suddenly attacked by the enemy. Mr. Xilin was separated from Gaozu in the rebellion, and fled back to his hometown Huaiyin in a hurry, and later moved his family to Shu for refuge due to the Huaiyin civil uprising. After the founding of the country, Gaozu sent people to visit secretly, but they all returned in vain, and then thought that Mr. was killed in the chaotic army, and he was in great pain.
Mr. Xilin is a benevolent doctor, and after settling in Shunan, he has treated countless local residents with superb medical skills, and has been loved and respected by countless people. Until the death of the gentleman, the residents of Shunan held a large-scale memorial ceremony and was known to the imperial historian sent by the imperial court, and the Shengshang, Emperor Gaozu had been dead for many years at that time. It was only when Gaozong ascended the throne that he heard the name of his virtue, and ordered to reward the descendants of the Lin family with a large piece of land and carts of gold and silver. The descendants of the Lin family built a street with the money and silk given by the emperor, and the Lin Mansion alone occupied a whole half of the street, and the local people called this street "Xilin Street".
The descendants of the Lin family inherited the legacy of Mr. Xilin, and more than 100 years later, they have become a well-known local scholar clan in southern Shu. Today's head of the Lin family is Master Lin Changlin, and his sister is the concubine of the saint, which is extremely respectful.
"All right, guys. Let's talk about the origin of the Lin family here, as for how the Chen family in Jiangnan developed, is there really a piece of Biyu handed down thousands of years ago in the Chen Jiaming Bishan Villa, and what happens next? The storyteller deliberately sold the guanzi, slapped the wooden block on the table, and said in a frustrated voice: "Let's listen to the next decomposition." ”
As soon as the storyteller finished speaking, the crowd in the lobby of the restaurant immediately burst into thunderous applause. A few young children listened with relish and coaxed him to do it again.
On the second floor of the restaurant are independent wings, and the corridor is surrounded by a railing so that the guests above can look down, and a young woman in a gorgeous costume is leaning on the railing to eat melon seeds. A ripple-like smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she whispered to herself, "That's right." ”
A pretty maid hurriedly came from the right side room, leaned into her ear and said, "Madam, Lu San has arrived." The woman bowed her head slightly, and stretched out a hand. The maid understood, hurriedly took her hand, and helped her into the wing.
The woman sat still, her hands folded on her lap, and on a table in front of her lay pen, ink and paper, an inkstone seed and a handful of eye-catching gold-encrusted abacus.
Hearing a knock at the door, the maid stepped forward and opened the door.
A big man with a long beard covered the left side of his face with gauze wrapped in his thick hairy palm, entered the door in a covert manner, and saluted with a humming and chirping.
The woman couldn't help but laugh when she saw Lu San's appearance, and teased: "Lu San, are you losing money again and being beaten." When will you get rid of this problem? ”
Lu San lowered his eyebrows and lowered his head and said: "Wronged, madam, the villain has been on the way to escort medicinal materials for the past three months, and he just went to the pharmacy to unload the goods, and when he returned to the master, he came to report to his wife." How can you do that kind of business. ”
The woman's arms were on the table, and the wide sleeves slipped down to reveal five or six thin silver bracelets, she supported her head with her hands, tilted her body and said with a smile: "Then Lu San, who beat you like this?" I guess you beat yourself up when you were dreaming? ”
The aggrieved Lu San kowtowed loudly to the ground, and said in a snort: "Yes, it was the second lady who stood on the tree and shot it with a slingshot." After saying that, the roots of his ears exploded red.
There was a strange sound behind the woman, and the maid wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, so she forced herself to change the tone of the laughter. It is unbelievable that a four-year-old girl can beat a burly man with a small slingshot to the point that his cheeks are red and swollen. The woman squinted, surprised and angry.
A four-lifted sedan chair fell at the back door of the backyard of the Lin Mansion, the maid opened the curtain to help the woman out of the sedan chair, and the servants who guarded the backyard and swept the floor knelt in a row and said in unison: "See Madame." It turned out that the woman listening to the book in the restaurant was indeed Lin Chang's wife Chen Ping.
As soon as the backyard gate opened, several colorful butterflies flew by Chen Ping, sprinkling the heavy fragrance of peach blossoms on her dress.
A few maids who were looking out at the golden peach grove in the courtyard were in a mess, screaming one after another. One of the maids suddenly saw that the lady was coming, and was busy making eyes at the partners, and the maids quieted down, lowered their heads and walked in front of Chen Ping to say ten thousand blessings.
Chen Ping said angrily: "I've only been gone for a while, and you have turned the sky upside down." Didn't I set rules for you? I'm going to heal you well this time. What are you all doing? Peach blossoms are beautiful, aren't they? If you like it, you can all look up and kneel here at the peach blossoms, and show me enough. ”
The leading maid explained: "Mrs. Hui, the slaves and maids are not messing around, but the second lady climbed the peach tree and got into the peach blossom bush. The slaves were afraid that the young lady would fall, so they shouted below to persuade the young lady to come down early. ”
When the maid was halfway through speaking, a rain of red and white peach blossoms fell above Chen Ping's head, and when she raised her head and shook off the petals on her head, a gray hemp shot by a slingshot fell at her feet from the shadow of the flower. Then a girl's black hair braided through the red and white flowers. All this proves that the maid's words are true.
Chen Ping shook his sleeves and ordered the maids to retreat, and walked under the peach tree by himself angrily, crossed his waist and shouted: "Lin Yueyuan, you come down for me, do you hear?" ”
A smiling face poked out of the flowers and called, "Mother, you're back." Then like a spirit monkey, she slid down the trunk of the tree with dexterity and dexterity, and scurried to her mother in a few steps.
If you look at her dress alone, you will think that she is a mischievous boy: she wears a pair of snow-white sheepskin boots on her feet, a brown-red fox skin skirt around her waist, and a twisted braid behind her head. Dressed like this, she looks more and more tiger-headed, with amazing eyes.
With a grin, she took out a string of dead sparrows tied together with thin thread from the leather pouch hanging from her belt, and said flatteringly: "Mother, I invite you to eat roasted sparrows, and I will roast them for you to eat, and put a lot of spicy seeds, which are more fragrant than chickens and ducks." ”
Chen Ping crossed her waist with one hand and pulled her out of the peach blossom forest with the other hand by her ear. Lin Yueyuan screamed in pain, struggling desperately, and the sparrow in his hand also fell to the ground. Chen Ping raised her hand and patted her head heavily, flattened all the broken hair on her forehead and covered her eyes, and asked, "Let me ask you, are you naughty again?" Climb so high, you think you are a monkey, you are really the reincarnation of a monkey spirit, and you will be a scourge if you fall to death. Why did you beat Lu San like that? ”
Lin Yueyuan rolled her eyes, pressed her lower lip against her lips and blew upwards violently, blowing away the bangs that blocked her vision, revealing her smooth forehead. The local appearance of the hanging erlang made Chen Ping even more angry. She shouted loudly: "He deserves it, I saw Lu San beat Aunt Lu badly, Uncle Zhang just went to see it, his legs were broken, and now he is lying down, I don't believe you go to see it." ”
This Lu Sanyuan is a scoundrel, just because he has brute strength, he is not afraid of death in fights, and he often causes trouble outside, and acts as the boss of the rivers and lakes with a group of ruffians. One year, he had the audacity to rob the medicinal materials escorted by the Lin family, and was taught by Lin Chang to look for teeth all over the ground, but this guy entangled him like sticky candy, and he was bent on being a cow and a horse. Lin Chang saw that he was a little clever and his martial arts were so-so, so he arranged for him to be a nurse, and occasionally sent him to transport goods when he was short of manpower, and later gradually became the leader of the Lin family's caravan. Although the bad habits of the Lin family have changed a lot over the years, the bad habit of eating and gambling and beating his daughter-in-law is like a tumor rotting on his body, and there is no cure. Poor Aunt Lu is really unladylike.
Chen Ping's annoyed mood improved slightly. Lin Yueyuan saw that her mother's face was softened, and she wanted to smear oil on the soles of her feet. How could her daughter's ghost elf's mind be hidden from her, she shouted: "Hand it over." ”
Lin Yueyuan was excited, subconsciously covering her skin, but she didn't want to leak more and more traces, she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What to pay?" I don't have anything. ”
Chen Ping smiled slyly, spread his hands and said: "Don't play with the old lady here, there are no three hundred taels of silver, what about the slingshot, you are limited to hand it in immediately, otherwise I will tell your father to guarantee a board, so that you can't get out of bed tomorrow." As she spoke, she slapped her daughter's ass hard.
Taking advantage of Lin Yueyuan's cry of "oops" while covering her buttocks, Chen Ping decisively ripped off the skin bag on her waist and put it in her arms. She hurriedly waved her arm to grab it, Chen Ping glared, pointed to her nose, and threatened: "Don't force the old lady to be angry." Then he pinched his daughter's red cheeks and smiled, "Okay, don't make a face, go back with your mother, and finish writing the big characters that your father assigned to you." Mother asked Sister-in-law Hu to make you your favorite white chopped chicken. ”
Lin Yueyuan put her little hand into her mother's slightly rough palm because of her perennial thrift and thrift, at that time she didn't know how to cherish this kind of warm mother-daughter warmth, but reluctantly pouted, annoyed to follow behind her mother.
Chen Ping asked something, she could always respond with uh-huh-oh, until she asked about her eldest son Lin Risheng, Lin Yueyuan finally couldn't hold her breath anymore, and fought for her brother: "My brother was punished by my father again, and now I am thinking about it behind closed doors in Dongxi Hall, I want to go and take a look, but my father won't let me." I didn't even give me food, I was going to roast a few sparrows for my brother to send secretly, but now the bamboo basket is empty. ”
Chen Ping sighed and said: "Risheng, this child, is honest and obedient, if he is placed in ordinary people's homes, he will definitely not be a baby, but when he meets such a fastidious father, he will be disgusted with him." How did you mess with your dad this time? ”
"It's not about learning martial arts yet." Lin Yueyuan said, "Dad asked my brother to learn martial arts, but my brother didn't want to learn it, he said that our Lin family is a family of medicine, and what we do is to cure diseases and save people, and martial arts are used to kill people and beat people." Dad said that I let Xuewu be used to deal with bad guys, and I didn't let you rob and kill. The elder brother also said that a gentleman should convince people with virtue. Then they quarreled a lot about something I didn't understand, and my father was angry and punished my brother to go to Dongxi Hall. ”
Chen Ping snorted coldly and said, "The present world newspaper." Who told him to force your brother to learn the Four Books and Five Classics on weekdays, and he said that he would let your brother take the imperial examination in the future, enter the official career, and glorify the lintel. It's okay now, it's stupid to read. ”
Lin Yueyuan's eyes lit up, she squeezed her mother's hand with all her might, and volunteered to smile: "Mother, since my brother doesn't want to learn martial arts, but only wants to learn his way of sages, then I'll learn." When I grow up, I can learn from Mulan to serve in the army on behalf of my father, and in the future, my brother will be a big official, and I will be a female general, haha. ”
Chen Ping was relieved: "It would be nice if your brother had half of your ambition." "Sometimes I wonder if you two have the wrong baby." At that time, you should have been a boy, and he should have been a girl. ”
"What's there?" Lin Yueyuan patted his chest proudly and said, "I also plan to learn martial arts well, and be a chivalrous woman who hoes the strong and helps the weak." ”
"Break your head, you still learn to knit female red for me, and wait for you to get married." Chen Ping patted her daughter's head and scolded with a smile.
"I don't want to learn, I hold a needle and thread all day long, and I hold my orchid fingers, and I'm girly. And I don't get married, I also heard the old lady Lu in the front yard say......" she coughed, bent down to learn the hunched appearance and tone of the old lady Lu, "Oh, this woman has a few happy lives after getting married, but it's just a hard time." She jumped away with a grin, laughed behind her back and said, "You want to trick me into the fire pit, I'm not stupid." ”
Chen Ping smiled hypocritically, and said in a coaxing tone: "She's old and confused, talking nonsense." You are young now, and the benefits of marrying will naturally be known when you grow up. ”
Lin Yueyuan turned his face away, his face was full of disdain, and he looked disdainful.
