26. Chapter 26
Xie Lingzhu was taking a nap, and when she fell asleep, she felt hungry, so she got up and ran to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Everyone was resting, and there was only an old mother in the kitchen who was watching the water, and she was dozing off under the small peach tree.
There is a pig's knuckle stewed in the pot, and the low heat has been simmered, and when you lift the lid and smell it, it is old and fragrant.
Lingzhu took a rag and paddled it, picked up the clay pot, put a small bowl with a spoon, and left the kitchen with it.
Instead of going back to the house, she went straight to the grape trellis in the garden, and under the grape trellis there was a stone table with four stone benches around it, which was her favorite place. Lingzhu sat down with a bowl in her hand, drinking the soup while staring at the grape trellis and drooling.
This grape trellis is not very high, but for the current altitude of Xie Lingzhu, it can only be looked up.
It's the height of summer, and the grapes are covered with pearl-sized grapes, bunches after bunches, full.
Xie Lingzhu wiped his mouth after eating and drinking, and was sleepy again.
Xie Lingjiao came out and saw her dozing under the grape trellis alone, frowning and said, "Spoon, why are you here alone?" What about the others! โ0
"I let them rest, and I don't do anything anyway." Xie Lingzhu yawned and asked Xie Lingjiao: "Brother, why are you going?" โ
"It's so noisy that I can't sleep, so I'm out for a walk." Xie Lingjiao said, walked over and sat down.
The strange one was a green parrot, raised by Xie Lingzhu, but the stinky bird had no eyes at all, and crunched and laughed when he saw Lingzhu.
Lingzhu taught for a long time, but she didn't learn a word, and her funny interest was gone, so she gave the parrot to Xie Lingjiao.
Xie Lingjiao raised it for only two months, and then taught it to say that happiness is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan. I'm about โกโก ready to send it back to Beijing to make a birthday gift for the old lady.
Unknowingly, Xie Lingjiao and Xie Lingzhu, brother and sister, have been in Mingjing Villa for six years.
Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Xie Lingzhu, who was still a baby when she came, has become a little girl carved in pink. And Xie Lingjiao, who is sick, has gradually improved since he came to Yuezhou, and he has become a handsome and dignified young man.
Naturally, Xie Lingzhu made a lot of effort in this.
Through the examination of the medical machine, she found that Xie Lingjiao's body was not well developed from birth, and he was only seven or eight years old at the time, and his internal organs began to fail. If it weren't for Xie Lingzhu, who brought an all-encompassing storage box, I am afraid that he would have died before he was ten years old.
But even so, in order to treat him, Xie Lingzhu also spent a lot of time and energy.
She was still young at that time, and she didn't even have the ability to take care of herself, even if she wanted to treat Xie Lingjiao, she had no way to express her will.
But Xie Lingjiao's body couldn't be delayed until she grew up a little, so Xie Lingzhu simply didn't do anything and played feudal superstition. Anyway, her storage box has already made such a big noise, so why not be more straightforward and make it more magical? Like a healing function or something, what the best of both worlds!
Subsequently, Xie Lingjiao's health gradually improved, but with the experience of those things in the capital, he no longer dared to publicize any magic about the pearl.
The fact that Mingzhu can treat a terminal illness is currently only known to Xie Yun and Xie Lingjiao, father and son, and even Xie Lingzhu himself, they are 'kindly concealing'.
Not only that, in order to go back to the garden, the father and son of the Xie family even invited several doctors with excellent medical skills, one to take care of Xie Lingjiao, and the other to teach Xie Lingzhu medical skills.
The two of them felt that it was best to hide the fact that Mingzhu could save people, but if one day it was really needed to save lives, Xie Lingzhu had the experience of learning medical skills, and it was much more justifiable when he made a move.
Xie Lingzhu knew their kindness, and she did not reject learning Chinese medicine from the doctor.
The doctors who taught her were shocked by her understanding and talent. There is no way to do this, Xie Lingzhu was mixed in the research institute in his previous life, and the doctors he came into contact with were all the world's top medical masters. Even if she herself has not studied it systematically, she knows that she has more than anyone in this era has learned in a lifetime. What's more, she has a plug-in! If you don't understand something, just go back and hide in the storage box and check it quietly.
In this way, Xie Lingzhu has become a talented medical genius, although she is only six years old now, but the few doctors she invited before have nothing to teach her.
The doctors' advice is to hope that she will have more contact with cases and apply what she has learned, after all, medicine is not something that can be taught by reading medical books and treating a few rabbits. However, because of her identity and her age, the matter of going out to practice was temporarily shelved.
Compared with Xie Lingzhu, the biggest change is Xie Lingjiao. Six years have passed, and the sick and weak boy who was crooked and seemed to be dying at any time is already fourteen years old.
Since his recovery, his body has grown rapidly. Obviously only fourteen years old, but he has grown taller like a convulsion, and now, he is taller than Xie Yun's ears.
However, because of the poor quality at the end of the early years, he is still very thin now, too tall and with an already thin body, he looks as slender as a bamboo pole.
He looks good, white and clean, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, just a slight smile, which makes the little maids in the house blush and heartbeat. Guang Xie Lingzhu knew that so far, there have been three bold little girls who failed to climb the bed and were kicked out.
Thinking of the first time he knew about this kind of thing, Xie Lingzhu was simply dumbfounded, Xie Lingjiao was only twelve years old at that time, and the bold maid was only fourteen, these minors were too much.
At that time, Mama persuaded their brothers and sisters to return to Beijing as soon as possible, because the reason why these girls were bold was that they were not in charge of the housekeeper in Zhuangzi, so they took risks, thinking that they could hand in good luck and were accepted by their brothers.
It's just that Xie Lingzhu didn't want to go back to Beijing, and Xie Lingjiao saw that his sister didn't want to go back, so he simply stayed.
When she left Beijing, she was forced out by that good aunt looking for life and death, although she should not care so much about the passage of time, but when she thought of facing so many fake people every day in that house, she felt annoying.
Anyway, Lingzhu felt that he was doing well in Zhuangzi, so he just lived like this, so why bother to go back and ask for hardship.
Xie Man was married as early as two years ago, and the Xie family got married as soon as they were filial. The husband's surname is Liu, and he is a relative of the third aunt Liu's mother's family, and his family background is not high, but fortunately, the man is young and is the first marriage, and the old lady and Xie Man are very satisfied.
Since Xie Man got married, life has gone smoothly, and he has begun to be ashamed of Xie Lingzhu's brothers and sisters again.
As soon as she regretted it, she hugged the old lady and cried every time she went back to her parents' house, bluntly saying that she was wrong back then, and hoped that her nephews and nieces could come home as soon as possible.
It's a pity that Xie Lingzhu is in Yuezhou, and the capital can at most send a letter to urge them to go home as soon as possible, but as long as Xie Yun is recuperating in his brother, no one can force them.
So in the past six years, Xie Lingjiao's brothers and sisters have not returned to Yingguo Mansion once. After all, even if he returned to Yingguo Mansion, the life of Dafang was not very good.
The old lady is biased towards the second room, and the housekeeper at home is the second wife, Sun.
After the old man died, the eldest aunt Xie Jing didn't have much contact with her mother's family, and after the younger aunt Xie Man got married, for the sake of her husband's future, she also had a lot of trouble with Xie Xun in the second room.
Now, the only happy event in the long house is that two years ago, the Chen family gave birth to another daughter.
The daughter's name is Xie Minxin, and when her father Xie Yun came to visit them last year, he also brought her to Der Spiegel Villa.
Xie Lingzhu also met her sister, but the little milk doll couldn't do anything except spit up milk, and it was difficult to get along.
However, last month, his father wrote that Xie Minxin has grown up very quickly, and he is already good at calling people and being very likable.
"The family should probably send a letter urging us to go back again, this time it's the old lady's birthday, it's hard to escape again, don't you still want to go back to Beijing?"
"Do you want to kowtow when you go back?"
Xie Lingjiao was helpless: "That's our grandmother." โ
"I don't want to go back, I won't be able to get out as soon as I go back! Brother, you are good, it doesn't matter where you want to go, but I'm different, when a large group of people follow, I have to ask the old lady to agree to even go shopping. What's the difference between that and going to jail? I don't want to. โ
"And what do you want to do?"
"If you still want to follow Dr. Wang to practice medicine and help the world, and go to the rivers and lakes!"
"Wander the rivers and lakes! If you want to go, when you grow up, will my brother take you there? โ
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Xie Lingjiao had to admit that what Spoon said was right, she was Miss Qianjin, once she returned to Yingguo Mansion, it would not be so easy to go out again.
In the past few years, the two of them have relied on each other in this small village, and it is not good to say that if it weren't for the spoon, his life would probably be gone.
In the face of such a sister, his heart softened, and he hated that he could not fulfill all her wishes.
Xie Lingjiao believes that not only himself, but also about anyone in the world, can't bear to make any request from the spoon.
Her background is so bizarre and mysterious.
Her appearance is so handsome, so beautiful.
There are some people in the world that no one can refuse. This is the case with his sister Xie Lingzhu.
It seems that the best qiฤ in the world has been piled up on her by God, and even God is trying his best to pamper her.
Xie Lingzhu is very good-looking.
Her genes were corrected when she was still in the shape of a fetus, and as she grew older, the storage box was always concerned about her health, and her body was always in the best condition.
So in the eyes of others, all of her Yiqiฤ is just right.
The eyebrows and eyes are clear and bright, and the lips and nose are beautiful and beautiful.
Her skin was as white as snow, without any mole spots, and even her pores were so fine that they were barely visible.
Now that she is only six years old, when she grows up, she doesn't know what it will look like, Xie Lingjiao is starting to worry. People say that he is in a hurry to return to Beijing, because he is afraid that when his sister has grown up, he is not strong enough, how can he protect his beautiful and naturally extraordinary sister at that time?
Xie Lingjiao's anxiety, Xie Lingzhu couldn't understand it at all.
In the era she lived in, genetic correction was already a common thing, so handsome men and beautiful women had long been flooded, but her natural appearance was more endearing. If it weren't for health reasons, many people would be reluctant to modify their genes. So she is not conscious of her appearance at all.
As for the rest, don't worry about it. She carried the storage box in her arms, and no matter who dared to offend her, she could call back immediately.
What is she afraid of?
"If you don't like to go home, don't go home."
Again, Xie Lingjiao compromised.
Lingzhu grinned, and jumped back to the house with the small bowl.
Xie Lingjiao sat for a while, and a man in a green shirt was ushered in by the steward.
"Second young master, this is the master's letter."
Xie Lingjiao took the letter and didn't open it immediately, but only asked, "Did your father bring any message?" โ
"The old man asked you when you will return to Beijing, the old lady has a full life, you are the grandson of the long house, it's not bad."
"I know, I will personally write to my father, you go down first."
Xie Lingjiao waved his hand and sent the person away before unfolding the envelope.
The letter was a mess, and it was all about trivial matters at home.
Xie Lingjiao was shocked, because he could see that what his father said was actually another very strict thing: the queen mother, it seems that it is going to be bad.
