Chapter Fifty-Eight: Water Town

The next morning, the Wang family still sent Mama Yu to pick up Jinyi.

Jin Yi went to ask Mrs. Qin for peace first, and said that she would go to Wang's house to see a doctor for the third young grandmother today. The old lady answered, and called Mama Song beside her to go with her.

Only then did I come out and take my own green cover beads and eight treasures car outside, and Mama Song and Mama Yu took another car and followed behind.

Most of the southern scholars in Jianye City live in the west of the city, and the mansions of the northern scholars in the east are separated by the imperial road.

The car walked for more than half an hour and entered Yuhua Lane, where the right prime minister's family lived. When the carriage passed through the main entrance, Jin Yi curiously lifted the corner of the curtain to take a look. In the middle is six vermilion lacquer gates, four side doors next to each other, the top of the vermilion eaves is warped, and the plaque reads "Construct the Right Prime Minister's Mansion" five gilded characters.

Jin Yi said secretly: Sure enough, it is a powerful courtier comparable to the prince of Zhenguo, and this main gate is much more magnificent than that of the Marquis of Qingrong.

After a stone's throw forward, the carriage turned into the side door, and went straight forward for a while, until it reached the shadow wall of the Hanging Flower Gate, where Lady Lin had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw her get out of the car, he came up first and asked with concern, "Sister Yi'er's injuries are better?" It's all to blame Zichen for that stupid thing, I have been talking about her every day for the past two days, and her father has also punished her for grounding. …… Let you come to see your third daughter-in-law with your injuries today, I really don't want to go. ”

Jin Yi just smiled kindly, "She didn't mean to, and besides, she just rubbed it a little, and it was already much better." Lady Lynn don't take it personally. ”

Mrs. Lin is the wife of the eldest son of Wang Xiangyan, the eldest lady in the house, and the wife of the presiding minister. There is also an old lady above, that is, Wang Hanshi, the wife of the right prime minister, who is over fifty this year, and the eldest daughter-in-law is in charge of everything in the family.

Because the southern family had little contact with the north, the Qin Mansion and the Wang family did not have much contact on weekdays, so Jin Yi did not go to see the old lady. Mrs. Lin took her to the Yunsheng Pavilion where the third young grandmother lived in the inner courtyard.

The garden is small and chic, not as boxy as the Qin family's house, the courtyard wall of the Yunsheng Pavilion is twisting and meandering, and along the courtyard wall, rows of tall kapok trees are planted. The beautiful trees in the court are verdant, and the strange flowers are scorching. A clear spring flows from the depths of the flowers and trees into a pool below.

Presumably it is the living water of the hot spring, rising with a light mist, and the flowers and plants around it are all green and tender, and there seems to be a curling white mist rising and swirling among the flowers. The flowers on the shore are scented.

Jin Yi had never seen the courtyard of a southern family, and she was surprised all the way, and said to Mrs. Lin with a smile: "This garden has the charm of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Mrs. Lin smiled modestly, "We southerners are the ones who love to make a fuss, and it is not like your house is neatly tidied up. ”

"Madame is too modest, such an elegant courtyard, but it takes a lot of effort. Jin Yi wanted to learn but couldn't. ”

Jin Yi also loves the strange style of such a small bridge and flowing water, thinking that if he can live in a hot spring, even in winter, he can bloom a hundred flowers, and it is as warm as spring.

"If you like it, come and play it often." Mrs. Lynn smiled.

Jin Yi smiled and nodded.

Although the right minister Wang Hao is in a high position, he is an easy-going person and spares no effort in harmonizing the relationship between the northern and southern scholars. This is also what the emperor values him most. The northern scholars are accustomed to being arrogant and self-respecting, and although they have lived in Jianye for a hundred years, they still do not want to have too much contact with the southern scholars.

When I entered the room, I saw a young woman with a beautiful face but a haggard face sitting on a warm kang, wrapped tightly in a thick silk cloak and holding a purple gold relief handstove in her arms. There were silver charcoal basins burning in the four corners of the room, but she was still shivering with cold.

"Didn't you tell you not to get up, why did you get up again?" Mrs. Lynn saw it and was anxious to speak of her.

He also introduced to Jinyi, "She was my niece and married her cousin. is also a peer with you, you can call her Yuying. He turned his head to Yu Ying and said, "This is Jin Yi, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Qingrong." ”

Yuying's face was a little yellow, and her cheeks were a strange bright red, and she whispered, "It's really troublesome Sister Jinyi." I thought it would be too disrespectful for you to come and not get up......"

Jin Yi smiled at her kindly, "Sister is too polite. When you are sick, don't be so polite. ”

Mrs. Lin invited Jinyi to sit on the warm kang, and she sat on the chair next to her, and told the little maid to pour tea.

Jin Yi said: "Don't be busy pouring tea, I think my sister's complexion is really bad, I'll show you first." ”

Mrs. Lin was no longer polite. Qinghuai, the maid on the side, put her wrist pillow on the kang table, and took a medical handkerchief and waited on the side.

Jin Yi smiled, "I'll cut my sister's pulse, and I don't need to diagnose it." ”

Mrs. Lin blamed her for being confused, and Qinghuai blushed and stepped aside.

Jin Yi carefully cut her pulse, and turned her hand over to take a closer look. Her hands were slender and pale, only a moment away from the stove, and they were as cold as ice.

Jin Yi looked at the undersides of her eyes and tongue, and finally took a trace of her hair hanging from her ears and twisted it lightly in her hand. The hair is warm, but a little dry and lacking in moisture.

Jin Yi sat back in his place. Mrs. Lin, who was watching with bated breath, breathed a sigh of relief, "The doctor who comes on weekdays can only go out after checking the pulse through the curtain, where can I see it carefully like this." ”

Yuying looked at her face with some eagerness, as if she was full of hope for her.

Jin Yi pondered for a moment, and then looked around the room, the window sash was closed tightly, and the door curtain was also extremely thick brocade Miro, which was impermeable. There was no smoker in the house, but there was a strange smell.

She sighed lightly, "Sister, I'm afraid this illness is related to this courtyard." ”

When Mrs. Lin and Yuying heard this, they were a little puzzled.

"Sister's disease, but it hit in the winter? At first, it was not cold, but I felt hot all over, and my mouth was often dry, and my heart was like fire. On the contrary, the day of the monthly letter feels better, but the amount of the monthly letter is more than usual? ”

When Jin Yi spoke, Qinghuai on the side was already looking at her with a look of surprise, and when she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin and Yuying had already nodded again and again before she could speak, "That's it, Miss Qin is all right." ”

Yu Ying had a look of disbelief on her face, and Mrs. Lin stood up with joy and said, "That's right. Sister Yi is really a god. ”

Jin Yi nodded, and said: "There is a hot spring under this courtyard, and there are lush flowers and trees around it, and there are many kapok planted outside the garden to block the wind, so the smell of sulfur in the courtyard is difficult to dissipate." Sulfur is harmless, and the bark of kapok can also be used as medicine, but the combination of the two is a hot thing. My sister's physique was originally a deficiency of heart qi and a heavy liver fire, and she was steamed by such a medicinal gas, and she did not open the window to release the qi, and for a long time, she suppressed the fire in the liver, so she was even more afraid of cold and mentally exhausted. ”

Yu Ying listened, and her originally unusually red cheeks became embarrassed again, but her eyes were a little shiny, "It was Zixiao who knew that I loved kapok, so I planted it outside the garden this year." ”

Mrs. Lin was also a little abrupt, "No wonder, Yuying's body was not so weak when she was at home in the past, and she only got married this year, Zixiao knew that she was afraid of the cold, so she deliberately introduced the hot spring." When I planted this kapok, I also said that this tree is sheltered from the wind, and the wind cannot blow in the winter, and if there is a hot spring, it will be warmer. Who knew it was wrong. ”
