Chapter 49: Seeking Medical Treatment
When Jin Yi and the others returned to the front, the tsukuju on the side of the big school field was about to start.
In the nearly 300 years since the founding of the Huajing Dynasty, Confucianism has gradually declined, and the defense of male and female etiquette has not been as strict as that of the previous dynasty. The fierce folk customs of the Western Regions have gradually integrated into the life of the Central Plains clan. Especially in the north, most of the scholars entered the ranks with military merits, and they advocated riding and shooting, and the children of the family and even the daughters of the ladies often wore riding clothes, and activities such as hunting and riding bows were very popular in Jianye.
Today's tsukuju means that both men and women can play. It also has the meaning of some aristocratic young men and women taking the opportunity to look at each other in disguise.
Some of the ladies of the family are slightly red and eager to try, and some abide by the etiquette of the boudoir and do not want to lose their dignity in front of others. The ladies of all the families are just laughing and watching today, and they don't stop those daughters who want to play.
Jin Yi and Jin Ru followed the ladies all the way to the direction of the school field.
As he was walking, a noble lady wearing a honey-colored embroidered eight-treasure pattern Gongluo brocade robe called Jinyi behind her.
When she looked back, it was Mrs. Lin from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and when she saw her smiling and waving to her, she had to stop, turned around and walked two steps to her, and bowed, "Mrs. Lin is fine." ”
Mrs. Lin smiled and said to her, "Second Miss Qin, come, let's go together." ”
Jin Yi smiled softly: "Madam is polite, just call me Jin Yi." ”
Mrs. Lin was even more happy, took her hand and looked her up and down carefully, and said, "Sister Yi is really good-looking, her appearance is peugeot, and her temperament is also very gentle and lovely. ”
Jin Yi felt a little strange in her heart, the right prime minister's Wang family was a very prominent family of the dynasty, and it was also the leading figure in the southern scholars. This Mrs. Lin is the wife of the royal family, and she doesn't have much friendship with her own family, and when she sees her on weekdays, she just nods and says hello.
Thinking like this, his face was still calm and quiet, chatting with her about family life, and walking slowly behind the crowd.
Mrs. Lin mentioned the old lady of the Qin family and said, "I also saw the old lady when she celebrated her fifty-first birthday last year, and she was very kind. I heard that the old lady often has a cough, but I don't know how she is doing now? ”
Jin Yi replied politely: "Mrs. Cheng remembers, my grandmother had some coughing and wheezing a few days ago, and she has been much better these days. ”
Mrs. Lin smiled a little embarrassedly, "I just heard your aunt talk about the old lady's illness, and I heard that you cured it by your sister?" …… Speaking of this, she paused before saying: "I won't tell you, my third daughter-in-law is not in good health, and she can't say anything wrong, she just can't get up from fatigue every day." I asked several doctors in the hospital to take a look, and I took the medicine according to the prescription for several months, but it didn't work. But every time three or four doctors came, they were even more tired and panicked when they changed their clothes and checked their pulse. ……”
Mrs. Lin said, her face was a little difficult to speak, "The woman's illness is inconvenient for the doctor to see. I wanted to invite the female doctor in the palace to take a look, you also know that the queen mother is not used to seeing the daughters of the family, if you ask the prime minister to ask someone to treat the granddaughter-in-law, it is not reasonable. She looked at Jin Yi and said, "That's why I just heard that you are proficient in medical skills, so I want to ask you to go and treat her." …… It really makes you laugh. ”
Jin Yi saw that she spoke tactfully and had a kind attitude, and she did not despise her because of her Shang Xiutang's physical and mental strength, nor did she oppress others, but she had a good impression of her. He smiled and said gently, "Madam doesn't have to be so polite. Jin Yi only knows a little about medical skills, not proficient. If Madame doesn't dislike it, I'll go to the house in two days to show the third young grandmother. ”
Mrs. Lynn was overjoyed to hear this. The third daughter-in-law was originally her own sister's daughter, that is, her own niece, and she married her only sister-in-law, so she was particularly cared for.
Originally, she thought that Jin Yi was the concubine of Qingrong Hou, and she couldn't open her mouth to ask her to treat people. But thinking about my daughter-in-law's illness, if it weren't for the female doctor to treat it, I was afraid it would be difficult to get better. The eldest lady of the Qin family said that Jinyi's ear acupuncture therapy was amazing, and Mrs. Lin was unbearable for a while, but finally mentioned it to Jinyi.
Hearing that she didn't mind treating outsiders, she was very happy, and hurriedly said: "Then I will send someone to pick you up at the house early the next morning." ”
Jin Yi smiled and said, "Mrs. Xie is kind, I can come by myself the morning after tomorrow, so I don't bother you." ”
Mrs. Lin nodded in response, and thanked her again and again.
Jin Yi and her walked all the way in the direction of the school field, and they had some understanding in their hearts, why Mrs. Man was so enthusiastic about herself at the cold banquet, and so solemnly asked Huan Yanyan to call her sister.
It must be the reason why the eldest aunt is preaching to her everywhere today. Mrs. Man, I'm afraid she has the same plan as the Xu family in her heart.
Jin Ru was still standing in front of her, and when Jin Yi saw it, she said to Mrs. Lin: "Madam, I will visit you early the next morning." My cousin was waiting for me, and I went first. ”
Mrs. Lynn smiled in response.
When he entered the school field with Jinru, he saw a large net two zhang high erected in the middle of the school field, more than one zhang wide, framed with wooden frames on both sides and at the top, and there was a round eye one foot wide in the middle of the top of the net.
Tsukuju is a kind of riding bow, and it is also called playing polo among the people. However, unlike ordinary polo, there is only one goal in the middle of the field. As long as someone from both teams shoots the ball through the merry eye at the top of the net, it counts as one point. The rules are simple and clear, but the style of play is extremely rich, so it is deeply loved by men and women in the capital.
A canopy has been erected around the school grounds, and tables and chairs have been placed. A little farther away there was a half-walled verandah on stilts, where the ladies watched.
Going upstairs and into the corridor, everyone gathered together in twos and threes to laugh and talk, and some leaned on the edge of the railing and looked down. Wang Zichen and Xia Xinyue had changed into riding clothes, and were climbing on the edge of the fence with a group of women to look at the school yard.
Wang Zichen put on a Western Regions riding uniform, and he was really gorgeous and charming. When Jin Yi glanced at her, her purple eyes inadvertently froze for a moment.
A garnet-red Doro-red top, with a strange pattern embroidered with gold engraved silk, wears a skirt of the same color underneath, embroidered with Amaterasu at the hem of the edge, and inside is a pair of soft-soled gold-cut silk boots.
A belt was tied around the waist, which was made of gold and silver skeins woven together with pieces of carved mutton fat jade. The hair on the top of the head is pressed against the forehead in the shape of a half-moon, and the sides are covered with long emerald blue tassels, which fall from the sides of the face to the shoulders.
Some of the older ladies in the corridor have seen Princess Yuke of Yekang, that is, the scene when the current Empress Jiang entered Beijing, she was dressed in gorgeous Yekang clothes, and the tassels on her head fell down in front of her face, covering her shocking beauty.
The entire set of Western Regions riding clothes worn by Wang Zichen today is extremely similar to Yekang's clothing.
