The so-called plan is not as fast as changing, Shangxiang's post Taohua has not been sent out yet, and Lu Ying ran to Jiang's house first.

"Have you heard-" Lu Ying looked excited, "The Lord of Nanhua is here!" "

"Lord Nanhua?" Taohua really didn't know, "Who is it?" "

Jiang Yanhua was sitting on the side, and when she heard the words of the county lord, she couldn't help but widen her eyes: "County lord? Isn't that higher than the prefect's grade? "

"yes." As soon as Lu Ying heard the news, she ran over, and she didn't care about the number of courtesies, she had to hand over the post first, and then come to the door the next day. provoked Mrs. Tan to poke her forehead several times, but in the end she was allowed to go, after all, it was just a girl's family, as long as the elders on both sides did not come forward, the rules were not so heavy.

"Don't you know the Lord of Nanhua?" Lu Ying loves to speak, especially when someone listens carefully, she is even happier when someone listens carefully, "Nanhua County Lord, she is the daughter of the late King Anjun, and she can't be the county lord according to her rank." "Only the prince's daughter can be crowned the county lord, and the daughter of the county king can only be crowned a county lord.

But the Anjun Wang and his wife went early, and the queen mother happened to have no daughter by her side, so she took the lord of Nanhua into the palace to raise her, and when she grew up and wanted to get married, the queen mother asked the first emperor to crown her as the county lord. The queen mother has no children and no daughters in her life, and treats the county lord of Nanhua as her own daughter, so although she is titled the county lord, she is as noble as a princess in the palace. "

Taohua didn't know much about these royal figures, mainly because it sounded too far away from her, and she should not have a relationship with such a noble person in her life - of course, with the situation of the Jiang family, it was best not to have a relationship.

"Then why did she come to Wuxi?"

"Well—" Lu Ying couldn't answer for a while, but she quickly grabbed another gossip angle, "The county horse she married is surnamed Jiang, and I heard that she is a person who is obsessed with mountains and rivers, and she has been traveling around the mountains and rivers all these years, and rarely stays in the capital." "

In a flash of inspiration, she found the answer herself: "I heard that Jiangjun Ma loves the mountains and rivers in the south, maybe he is near Wuxi, and the county lord is here to find him?" "

This is a reasonable answer. Taohua nodded, not paying much attention: "The county lord is here, it won't hinder our travel, right?" "After all, it's not a princess, so you won't have any official ceremony to welcome you and close the streets, right?

"How could this be?" Lu Ying said with confidence, "As long as we don't bump into the same temple as the county lord to offer incense." However, I heard that the county lord seemed to be a little unwell, so he called Lang Zhong as soon as he lived in the post station. "

"If you don't adapt to the water and soil, otherwise the wind will blow on the road." Nobles are prone to this disease, anyway, the Jiang family doesn't have Langzhong now, it doesn't matter whether it's horizontal or vertical, Taohua's left ear goes in and the right ear comes out, "Speaking of which, I'm thinking about the next post for you, which temple should we go to?" "

"Huishan Temple!" Lu Ying immediately replied, "I heard that the spring water in Huishan Temple is the best." "

"It's like you've never been." Taohua broke Lu Ying's purpose in one sentence, "Do you want to try Huiquan Bar?" "

Huiquan liquor is a rice wine made with glutinous rice produced locally in Wuxi and spring water from Huishan Temple. At this time, it is not as famous in the world as in later generations, but it is brewed by the monks of Huishan Temple themselves, and it is not sold to the outside world, but the pilgrims who go to the incense can drink it.

Lu Ying held her face and smiled: "You know, just say what you do......" She loves to drink, but Mrs. Tan doesn't allow her to drink unless she is on New Year's Day, let alone if she goes back to Lu's house. Therefore, although Huishan Temple has also been there, this Huiquan wine has not been drunk, and it is rare that Mrs. Tan allowed her to come out by herself this time, of course she has to taste it.

"It's okay to go, you don't drink much." Taohua warned her, "If there are those who can't drink, we will sneak them back and go backwards, if you get drunk in the temple, I won't go out with you again!" "No matter how Lu Ying is not treated at home, she is also the daughter of the Lu family to the outside world, if the reputation of going out to get drunk spreads, Lu Ying herself will not be able to please her, and the Jiang family will also suffer. Mrs. Tan was also willing to let Lu Ying go out with her because the Jiang family was safe, and this could never go wrong.

Lu Ying nodded like pounding garlic: "I listen to you!" After speaking, he complained, "I'm a year older than you, why do you always ask you to control me!" I didn't even scream my sister all day long, so domineering. "

Taohua only smiled: "I have a point, naturally you have to listen to me." "With the age of two lifetimes combined, she is more than enough to be Lu Ying's mother, where can she still call her sister.

Although Lu Ying is easy to talk about and play, she is not a child who doesn't know the importance of it, not to mention that the child who is not favored at home will only think more about doing things. Lu Ying can do whatever she wants in the Tan family, but she can't ignore the rules of the Lu family, so she can only nod and say, "Don't worry, I know everything." "If there is anything that violates the rules, isn't it an excuse for the aunts and uncles to criticize her mother?

Lu Ying agreed on the day of incense and left happily. Taohua took Jiang Yanhua to send her to the side door, and watched the Tan family's carriage walk away, Jiang Yanhua asked hesitantly: "Sister, the county lord is coming to Wuxi, can we see it?" "

"How can we see each other?" Taohua laughed, "If it weren't for our father's fame, we wouldn't even be among the four people." The county lord is a royal nobleman, which round can we see. "

"But our family used to be a doctor. I heard that the imperial doctor has an official rank. And now isn't the eldest uncle also an official in Beijing? Big sister or mother. "

Taohua glanced at Jiang Yanhua in a little surprise: "You're right." But that's all about my uncle and grandfather's house. She didn't expect that Jiang Yanhua would think so highly of the Jiang family.

It's not that Taohua looks down on herself. Although the doctor is not among the four people, and in detail it is higher than the excellent officials and the like, in fact, the doctor has his own special status - who dares to say that he has no need for a doctor's day? At least when it comes to marriage, the children of famous doctors are much more popular than the children of poor farmers who rent other people's land. It's like the officials are classified as untouchables, but those small officials in the yamen sometimes even have to be afraid of the officials.

However, the era in which she lives does have clear and cruel limitations. The imperial doctor is good and has an official rank, but he is still a person who is called around, and he gives some rewards to the nobles who have cured their illnesses, and if they can't be cured, no one cares if it's your fault or not, anyway, it's right to settle accounts with you. Isn't the second room of the Jiang family a living example?

If you look at it this way, the practice of Jiang's family room should be admitted to the right way. Fortunately, the current dynasty is not like the previous dynasty - under the peasants and workers, they are not even allowed to study. The lintel of the long house has now been changed, but Taohua really doesn't dare to agree with this method of sending women into the palace.

"It's all surnamed Jiang ......" Jiang Yanhua muttered, and then there was silence, probably remembering that although her surname was Jiang, she was not from the Jiang family.

Taohua pondered for a while, and decided to say a few more words to her, lest she have any confused thoughts and affect her family: "The long room is the long room, and our second room is a crime convicted by the first emperor himself, and it cannot be changed." If he is lucky, maybe when Bai Hua grows up, then the matter will fade, and no one will be embarrassed to go to study again. However, for you and me, I have been just a doctor for the rest of my life, if I am determined to climb high, not to mention anything else, as long as someone remembers the events of the year, I will allow the family to cause disaster. As for the eldest sister entering the palace, the palace is not a place to worry, and you will not mention this matter in the future. "

She was exaggerating. The first emperor just said that Jiang Fanghui was not worthy of practicing medicine, and it was just a sentence of anger. The Jiang family's room resigned and returned to his hometown in the second room, in fact, it was also the old lady Jiang who wanted to take the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to retreat bravely. As for saying that Jiang Xi can no longer respond, the main reason is that Jiang Xi himself has no hope for his career; Of course, it is also for the sake of prudence, because the long room has already produced an official body, and if the second room comes out again, it may become an excuse for some people to attack. If Jiang Bohua should study in the future, there is no limit.

Jiang Yanhua's face turned a little pale, and he said in a low voice: "I, I know." But that was twenty years ago, and now, does anyone still remember? She didn't know the details of the year, and she didn't know the doorway here, but she believed it all after listening to Taohua's words.

"Others can't remember, can't the royal family remember?" Momoka glanced at her. Although Jiang Yanhua also had some thoughts of climbing high and noble in the past, the best thing she thought about was just a family like the Su County Ling family, why did she even remember the county lord today, what kind of medicine did she take?

The two parted hands in the small garden, Taohua watched Jiang Yanhua go back to her yard, and instructed Mint: "I have time to ask Bai Guo what my wife and the second girl have said recently." "What happened to make her heart bigger than ever?

Since Jiang Xi came back and learned about the jade carving narcissus, although he had never had a seizure, he was a little cold to the Cao family. Cao's own heart was weak, and he didn't even dare to pretend to be sick, and he sped on Jiang Xi's face every day, and even Jiang Yanhua was like this, and he was very angry for a few days. At this moment, some thoughts suddenly came to me, and if there was no reason, it would be impossible.

The courtyard of the Jiang family is so big, and there are only a few people who are waiting, not to mention that Qingguo and Song's mother were sent out again, and the Cao family can't hide anything. After a while, Mint asked from Bai Guo, it was Mrs. Cao Wu's letter.

The letter was read to her by the second girl, and they sent everyone away. When Bai Guo only delivered tea, he listened to it, as if the uncle of the Cao family had got some kind of official, and the family was going to the capital. "

"No wonder." Taohua smiled, "It seems that my mother's jade carved narcissus works?" "Taking the Jiang family's things to seek a future for the Cao family, Mrs. Cao Wu really has a good calculation.

Mint didn't dare to answer this. The matter of jade carving narcissus can't be mentioned, and the girl's anger rises again.

"Uncle Cao - what kind of official can you get?" Mint asked tentatively.

"Then who knows. It's just that as soon as they heard that they went to the capital, they probably thought that the future was bright. Taohua knew in her heart that she had also met Cao Wuye once, and then listened to Mrs. Cao's conversation, and looked at her actions, she would know what the Cao family was like. Such a person only has the fame of a showman, even if he goes to the capital, he is just an official, and the so-called official is not necessarily what to do.

"Well, let them go, but let's see what the future holds." Taohua waved her hand, "First pack up the incense things, the carriage will definitely be from the Tan family that day, and we will prepare more for the rest." "

If it is a later generation, it only takes 8 minutes to train from Wuxi to Huishan, but now it takes half an hour to take a carriage. This is still because the incense of Huishan Temple is prosperous, and the roads along the way are well repaired.

Taohua has traveled for a few years, and still can't get used to the carriage here. Although the Tan family's carriage had a thick brocade mat, it still made her half of her body numb along the way. However, when I got off the bus at Huishan Temple, the mountain breeze was cool and the pine waves were low, and these hardships were suddenly thrown out of the clouds.

The spring water of Huishan Temple has the reputation of the second spring in the world, and taking the spring to cook tea is what pilgrims often do. Of course, Lu Ying would not miss it, and as soon as she got out of the carriage, she shouted that she wanted to go and get the spring water herself.

"What are you anxious about, it's still early." Taohua shook her head and smiled, turned her head to the maid who served Lu Ying, and said, "Follow your girl, this monkey is in a hurry, don't fall into the spring water." He also instructed Mint to go and set a vegetarian meal at noon today, especially not to forget to ask for two bottles of Huiquan wine.

"Yes, yes, don't forget the wine." Lu Ying added lively, "It's better to have a few more bottles!" "

One of the maids who followed her was Mrs. Tan's personal maid, named Qingfei, who had been to Huishan Temple several times, and smiled bitterly when she heard this: "Girl, Huishan Temple has rules, let's say that it is two families, in fact, there are only you and the two Jiang girls and three masters, and it is a lot to get two bottles." And the wine bottle of Huishan Temple is large, so you can drink it. "This cousin is good at everything, but this temperament is too jumpy, Mrs. Tan is not here today, she has to look at the cousin, and the pressure on her body is not small.

"Yes." Taohua arranged the lunch meal, and then asked Daylily to take down the small copper kettle to boil water, "You said that you only tasted it, if you drink too much, I won't take you out next time." "

Lu Ying stuck out her tongue at her from behind the hood, turned around and took the lead in climbing the mountain.

There is a spring in Huishan Temple, and in order to be used by pilgrims, a pond is built with white stones, and there are small novices who specialize in drawing water. However, due to the large number of people, some particular guests are not clean enough, and some go to another spring behind the temple to get water.

The spring is on the hill, and the road is rough, but the scenery is wonderful. Some literati and scholars also went to the spring to cook tea and enjoy the scenery, and wrote poems and lyrics. Lu Ying came out to play, so she naturally refused to use the spring water in the temple, and insisted on going to the back of the temple to get water.

Huishan Temple incense is extremely prosperous, although today is not the fifteenth day of the first month, there are a lot of pilgrims, among them there are quite a lot of female dependents, pay attention to some of them also wear light gauze hats like Taohua and others, if it is a woman between the market, there are not so many scruples, showing a clean face, into the mountain gate to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Lu Ying walked a little hot, looking at the women who didn't have to wear hats, her eyes were hot, and she wanted to take off her hats, but she was pulled by a light scarlet: "Girl, there are male guests ahead!" "

Momoka looked up and saw that the spring was already close in front of her. There are a few plum blossoms growing by the spring, the monk has built a simple grass house there again, it looks quite poetic, especially after a light snow in winter, the plum red grass is yellow and the water is blue and snow-white, just like a natural picture scroll. Although there are no plum blossoms at this time, the spring water is as clear as blue glass, reflecting the blue sky above, which is also a beautiful picture.

But at this time, the grass house has been occupied. Several young people sat in a group, a small stove boiling water in the middle, a tea set on the table next to it, and four kinds of snacks.

"There are already people......" Lu Ying was a little disappointed, "It's a shame that we came so early." "

Taohua only smiled: "Where is it early." Besides, we came from the city, so how could we have gotten past the locals earlier. It's not appropriate for us to cook tea here, but it's good to be able to come and get water. "If Mrs. Tan comes, she will only ask the maid to come over to fetch water, how can she let Lu Ying come by herself.

Lu Ying thought that this was the truth, and she was relieved, and she had to carry a copper kettle to fetch water again. This light scarlet was absolutely unwilling, and Taohua also pulled her with a smile: "You save some trouble." In case you lose your foot, not to mention falling in, you will get your skirt wet and your shoes wet, and you can't afford to be scarlet. "

Jiang Yanhua also said softly: "Sister Lu, take these mountain roads, rest." "

Taohua waved her hand: "The stone over there is flat, let the daylilies spread the cushion, you go and sit." Jiang Yanhua didn't go out of the gate, and climbed this section of the mountain road, but others didn't do much, she was already panting. If it weren't for the daylilies holding and dragging it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to walk up at all.

The movement here alarmed the people in the cottage, and they turned their heads to look at it together. The second harvest that Taohua crossed over was to throw away the myopia in her previous life and get a pair of eyes with excellent eyesight, and the grass house was next to the spring, and she raised her eyes and swept all the people in the grass house to see all the people clearly.

In the middle was a young man in an azure robe, who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. On the left and right, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, was fanning the flames; The other, dressed in a short shirt and dark-skinned, looked wary when he looked over, and his hand moved to his waist.

Taohua narrowed her eyes and took a closer look, making sure that the young man's hand was holding something around his waist, as if it was a handle. Combined with the wary look on the young man's face, she thought it should be the hilt of a knife or a sword.

"Daylily, you go and help Qingfei fetch water, let's go back quickly." Momoka stopped Daylily from taking snacks out and commanded in a low voice. It doesn't matter if it's a sword or not, it's better to stay away. On weekdays, there are a lot of people next to this spring, but today it looks like there is no one else, maybe they are avoiding these three people. They are a group of women, and there is only one small servant in the car to carry water, so it is better to be cautious. If you want to eat snacks, you can't eat enough when you go back to the temple, so why rush for a while
