Lun's compound. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Master Lun sat in a chair, he was past the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he had two sons with Mrs. Lun. The Lun family has been in business for generations, and now they are also a big family of medicinal materials in Jiangnan, and their family is well-off. However, the status of the Shangjia family is always not as good as the famous family, so the Lun family always wants to let their son take the imperial examination, fortunately, the eldest son loves to read since he was a child, and the Lun family has invited a famous gentleman to teach poetry and books at home since he was a child, and at the same time, the Lun family tried their best to cling to the Fu Wangye in the city, in order to rely on the Fu Wangye to ask for a petty official in the future, and get rid of the fate of being a businessman for generations.
Prince Fu is already in the age of ear shun, but his life is extravagant and insatiable, and his palace hides countless treasures obtained by various means. He has been dealing with Lun Wanjian for many years, and he knows exactly what he wants, and he once put forward two conditions, one is to find a medicinal herb phoenix tail seven, which will be a great tonic for him to prolong his life. The other is to dedicate to him the legendary Yaoqin Fengwei Qi left by Yu Qingyuan. One of the two conditions is sufficient.
As soon as these two conditions were put forward, the Lun family immediately made a difficulty, and the medicinal herb phoenix tail seven grew on the cliff wall of the high mountain, which was extremely difficult to obtain. And that Kuangshi Yaoqin had no clue, but Yu Lao'er took the initiative to come to his relatives, and he also wanted to rely on his family's wealth. The Lun family looked down on the declining Yu family, and wanted to rob or force the Yu family to donate this qin by other means, instead of taking the second son's lifelong event, but then Master Lun thought about it again and again, and finally agreed to it for the Yaoqin that Lord Fu wanted.
Originally, I expected the second son of the Lun family and Yu Qingyuan's daughter to become married, Yaoqin was at my fingertips, who knew that a few days before getting married, Lun Shiqing left a letter saying that he was going to Lingshan to find Fengweiqi, the top of Lingshan was bitterly cold, and the road was extremely difficult, and Rao was a strong man who had to lose half his life when he came back. That Lun Shiqing has been pampered since he was a child, and he never came back as soon as he went, and all the Lun family was waiting for was his cold body. Lord Lun and his wife mourned and buried Lun Shiqing, but they never understood why the second son had to risk his life before getting married. Seeing that the family affair with the Yu family had come to an end, Master Lun conspired with his housekeeper every day to snatch Na Yaoqinqiang.
The samurai sent in the past last time missed, and they were startled, and now Yu Xue has disappeared from them, Master Lun is so angry that he scolds the housekeeper for several days, and the housekeeper secretly complains to himself, the samurai sent last time are extraordinary, and they have been exploring for many days, they are determined to win, but out of nowhere, two men appeared, and the fight was also good, and it ruined their good deeds. What's even more disturbing is that they haven't found out the origin of those two men until now, and they seem to have disappeared with the old and weak Yu family. Now they had no choice but to send people all over the city to search for their traces.
I've been looking for more than half a month, and there is no news. The housekeeper stood in front of Master Lun, and was reprimanded again, swearing that even if he dug three feet into the ground, he would also find Yu Xuezhao's hiding place.
Old Master Lun was still angry, and suddenly remembered another thing, and asked, "How many people are infected with that strange disease in the city now, has it increased?" ”
The housekeeper thought for a while and replied, "There are three or four people who have come to us to take medicine and see the disease, and they have all taken the medicine of the tiger and wolf according to the master's order, and it is estimated that they will not last a few days when they go back." I haven't been here in the last few days. ”
Master Lun nodded and said, "The symptoms of this disease are extremely strange, I have never seen them in my life, there are people who come to our pharmacy to grab medicines, come and solve them one by one, don't spread it, so that we will be implicated in the future." ”
The steward bowed his head and took orders, and went down resignedly.
Xue Zhao was in the simple yard of the farmhouse, the spring was just right, Lin Xiuyuan really didn't come again, but there was a prepared medicine at the gate of the courtyard every morning, and after more than ten days, Xue Zhao was already able to get out of bed, she sat on a small stool in the yard and watched Ling Bo trim a piece of paulownia wood.
Min Po brought her the boiled medicine and said, "Miss, it's time to drink the medicine." ”
Xue Zhao took the medicine bowl, frowned and drank it all, complaining like a child, "Mother-in-law, it's so bitter, I'm already well, the wound can't be seen, can I stop drinking medicine tomorrow?" ”
Min Po smiled and said, "If Gongzi Lin doesn't send anyone to deliver medicine tomorrow, then it is estimated that there will be no need to drink it anymore." ”
Xue Zhao's face was a little red when she heard his name, and she lowered her head and said, "Why does Zhao'er have to listen to his orders?" I want to drink the medicine when he brings me? I'm not drinking anymore tomorrow! ”
Min Po still smiled and said, "Miss, I think that Lin Gongzi is very good at medicine, or... ”
Xue Zhao interrupted her, "Mother-in-law, you take out my Yuxi, I want to play the piano." ”
Min Po went to pick up the jade qin that Xue Zhao had played since she was a child, Xue Zhao cleaned her hands, sat in the courtyard, raised her hands lightly, wiped and kicked, and chanted and called, and a song "Flowing Water" was slowly played.
Ling Bo and Min Po both stopped what they were doing, sat down and listened to Xue Zhao caressing the qin, as if they had returned to the old days, when the lord and wife were there, and Xue Zhao was still a seven or eight-year-old girl, innocent and carefree.
After playing the song, several people were silent in their memories, and suddenly heard the courtyard door knocked three times, as if they were very careful for fear of alarming the people in the courtyard.
The three of them glanced at each other, they were all a little frightened, they had moved to this small village for more than ten days, and they had never interacted with the surrounding neighbors, how could anyone knock on the door at this moment?
Min Po got up and said, "I'll open the door." ”
