No wonder, no wonder, no wonder my sister doesn't recognize Chen Yu. If she remembers correctly, the first time she saw Chen Yu was in the middle of summer when she was twelve years old. In other words, it is not that time at all......
Dou Miaojing was lying on the bed like a potsticker, unable to fall asleep. As soon as he got up, he didn't have time to put on his shoes, and ran barefoot to the window. Pushing open the diamond-shaped window covered with azure curtain, the old camphor branches outside were as tall as a cloud cover, and the strong branches stretched straight to the east wing of the second floor of the Yunlu Residence where she lived.
Her heart sank.
The yellowed leaves of the camphor tree fell all over the ground, and even half of them were sparsely spread under the porch on the second floor. The breeze blows, and the leaves glide away like a child's play.
This tree only sheds its leaves in spring and summer, but it is not easy to lose in autumn and winter. So now it's the time of spring and summer......
"Second Miss, what's wrong?" Shaoyue worried.
Dou Miaojing shook her head gloomily: "It's nothing, I just think the cicadas outside are too noisy." ”
That's when she heard the cicadas screaming. Summer cicadas are different from autumn cicadas, her father is knowledgeable, and her grandfather is from a family of Xinglin, and she and her sister have been exposed to these knowledge since childhood. Although she is stupid and not as good as her sister, she can also distinguish between the energy of the summer cicada and the waning of the autumn cicada. I didn't pay attention to the sound of cicadas just now, but now I realized that my heart was even more uneasy.
Dou Miaojing is introverted and always likes to hide things in her heart. Shaoyue is used to serving, and when she hears this, she just talks casually. She responded to her considerately: "Wait for the silver screen to come back, let her glue all the cicadas." ”
"Where did the silver screen go?" Dou Miaojing remembered it and never saw her.
Shaoyue said: "Uncle Ying is back, and her old son and mother are also back, and Mrs. allows her to go to her house to take a look." ”
The Dou clan is not a famous family in Lin'an, and the ancestors relied on Ningbo maritime trade to make their fortunes. Since the imperial examination policy was not relaxed, allowing the descendants of the three generations of merchants to enter the office, the ancestors intended to cultivate the descendants of the Dou family to study.
At the beginning, because of this matter, there was a lot of trouble in the Dou clan. It's good to earn fame, but the foundation that Dou has worked so hard to build can't be left alone.
The old ancestor was heartbroken, and simply split up, except for a few grandsons who he liked, others wanted to choose to continue to do business, so they continued to walk, and he didn't care. Among the grandsons of those water characters is Dou Miaojing's father, Dou Yuan. The ancestor was bent on helping the Dou family to the official career, so he simply let those houses settle the property in Linlin and moved to Fengqi Street.
In Dou Miaojing's generation, the two-bedroom and four-bedroom are still in business, but they are no longer confined to one place in Ningbo. Tianjin, Shandong, Guangzhou and the hinterland of Dawei all have Dou's real estate. Dou Miaojing can say without blushing that thirty percent of the restaurants in Lin'an are surnamed Dou.
However, because of his industrial and commercial background, the Dou family has no prestige in Shilin, let alone a place to stand in Lin'an, where there are many famous families. When I first entered Lin'an, my ancestors communicated with each other, and it was not easy to live than in Ningbo. Scholars value integrity, and businessmen value profits, at that time, the Lin'an Dou family suffered from cold faces and white eyes, too many to count, even the eldest man of the long house Dou Xun later served as the Yunnan Salt Division of the big lift, this situation has not improved much.
Because Dou Xun is just a routine eunuch who came out of the Guozijian, in the final analysis, he still has something to do with money.
Later, Dou Jin, the eldest lord of the third room, also took this road, which was better than Dou Xun, and he joined the eyes of Shuntianfu to raise punishment, and entered the office of the Inspectorate.
When the ancestor left, he said that he could still see two adults in his family in his life, and he would be content. However, this road can't be stopped, and the official uniforms of the river cliffs and seawaters, their Dou family, have to wear them properly.
So when Dou Yuan was hit by the second-class jinshi, the entire Dou family, even the second and fourth rooms, shook. Unexpectedly, the merchant's family can really come out of a scholar. Those families in Lin'an gradually changed their eyes.
If the ancestor was still alive, he would wake up laughing even if he dreamed.
Following Dou Yuan, the heirs of the grass generation began to gradually rise to the top, and they became famous in Lin'anshilin. Dou Ying, the uncle of the long house, was nineteen years old, even in Lin'an City, he was terrifying. He has been studying in Beijing since he was a child, and it is rare to return to Lin'an, this time he is here to worship his ancestors, and next year's spring is very important. If it is on the list, the Dou family will have a second jinshi, just thinking about it, the people of the Dou family are a little excited.
Yinping's family is a servant, and Lao Tzuniang and two brothers are in the capital with Dou Ying. The last time I came back, it was when Dou Ying got married at the age of twenty. In this way, Yinping has not seen his family for almost three years.
Dou Miaojing brushed aside the cluttered thoughts in her heart, and said softly: "Now that you go, you send someone to tell her, I'm fine, and ask her to stay at home for a few more days." ”
Shaoyue was surprised, and hurriedly thanked Yinping: "She was happy to know for a long time." The slave thanked Miss for her, Miss is so nice. ”
Did the second lady take the wrong medicine or was she confused? She wouldn't have said that before, at most she would ask Yinping when she would come back, and she wouldn't say anything else. She doesn't like to take care of the maids, let alone care about them.
Seeing that Shaoyue was happy, Dou Miaojing also squinted her eyes and smiled. But she knew in her heart that it was because of the dream just now—let's just think it was just a dream. In the dream, Yinping died, and when the soldiers broke in, it was Yinping who blocked the outside and hit their knife edges. She was terrified—Silver Screen was the first to die in front of her.
She couldn't help but close her eyes, thinking of that image, the qiē in her mind became real again, as if it had happened. The summer breeze was hot and dry, but she shivered coldly.
Shaoyue hurriedly put on a thin cloak for her: "Miss, let's put on shoes, right?" My uncle and wife said that evil enters from the feet, and a woman's feet cannot be cold. ”
My grandfather's family has been practicing medicine for generations, and several of my ancestors have served as important positions in the Tai Hospital, but they have gradually faded out in recent years. The Lu family's heirs are difficult, and when it comes to Dou Miaojing's mother's generation, there are only two uncles. The eldest uncle Lu Taixun was in the house of a minister in Beijing in his early years, and later returned to Lin'an after becoming a relative, but he had a son under his knee but had a deficiency disease; The second uncle Lu Taixiu has superb medical skills, but it is a pity that the doctor cannot self-medicate, and died of illness in the early years, leaving only the eldest son Lu Chengyang, who is now studying medicine with Lu Taixun.
The uncle and wife mentioned by Shaoyue are Lu Taixun's wife Liu. Because she has been following Lu Taixun for a long time, she has learned some skills, and often comes to the fifth room to call the ladies a safe pulse.
Before Dou Miaojing woke up, Liu had just left.
"Shaoyue is right, Miaojing, you put on your shoes first." As soon as Shaoyue's words fell, a voice rolled in slowly.
Dou Miaojing was confused, and after staring at it for a long time, he found that there was a person standing under the porch outside.
The golden wusi fell into the sun, and the man's shoulder hair was covered with a thin layer of velvet.
"Cousin?" It's Lu Chengyang.
Lu Chengyang's dark eyebrows raised slightly, and he didn't enter the house, but urged Shaoyue: "You don't take your shoes yet." ”
Shaoyue hurriedly replied "yes".
After Dou Miaojing put on his shoes, Lu Chengyang entered the house and sat down outside: "I heard Miaoqin say that you woke up, so I came to see you." He said seriously, this appearance was taught by Lu Taixun at first glance.
This uncle is good, but he doesn't smile, so that every time he sees him, Dou Miaojing's palms will sweat.
Facing Lu Chengyang, she was much better. smiled slightly: "I don't know that my cousin is also here, is it with my aunt?" ”
Lu Chengyang didn't squint, and while taking out a smoky yellow silk handkerchief from his sleeve and covering it on Dou Miaojing's wrist, he replied to her words: "Uncle said that I lack experience, and it just so happens that you are sick, so let me stay for a few days to see a doctor for you." ”
What is the strange reason for this? She fell this time, and she became a whole Lu Chengyang?
Dou Miaojing smiled bitterly. But when she thought that in her dream, the only incense of the Lu family was also copied and imprisoned because of the Dou family, she couldn't laugh.
"Cousin...... You've seen a lot, have you ever heard of people who seem to be living again? She asked cautiously.
Lu Chengyang touched his pulse and was silent for a long time, and finally squeezed out a "hmm". Dark eyes looked straight at her: "Yes-"
"Really?" Dou Miaojing couldn't help but be excited.
"Not long ago, a person came to the hospital and said that he was a chicken a few days ago."
"Uh...... And then? ”
"Later? Later, my uncle reported to the official and asked the people from the yamen to take him to the garden. ”
Suppress the garden! That's where the madmen are held.
My cousin is really getting more and more like an uncle!
