Zhu Yan asked hastily, and then learned that Chen was originally the cook of Zhufu, because she and Xu Suzhen were fellow villagers, and the two had a good conversation when they went to Beijing in the past, and after fleeing back to Jiangnan, they naturally had some contact.

Chen looked Zhu Yan up and down, and smiled lightly with a hint of worry, "The eldest lady looks really good now, and people are much more open than before, it is good for you to follow Yuan Gongzi back to Beijing now, although the momentum of our Zhu family is a little weak now, but I heard that your second uncle and sixth uncle are still doing business in Beijing, and you don't have to be afraid of being looked down upon." ”

Zhu Yan heard her talk about her and her relatives, because she had never liked the theory of seniority, she only felt that her head was a little big, and she wrung her brows and pretended to be worried, "But I haven't heard my mother mention it before, is the connection already broken?" ”

"It's not that the connection has been broken, but our lord doesn't like to hand over with them, and after the lord died, the young lady was sick, so they didn't pay much attention to it, so they have only been estranged in recent years." Chen said, rubbing his elbows intentionally or unconsciously, as if he was quite bitter.

Zhu Yan noticed that her knuckles seemed to be a little swollen, and she didn't want to hear her say this, so she gently diverted the words, "Does Chen Niang feel that her hands and feet are a little swollen and stiff, and she often feels stiff and numb in the morning?" ”

Chen was stunned by her words, looked at her and nodded, "It is said that the eldest lady is studying medicine now, but she is going to see my wife and me?" Silk Zhen also treated me in the past, using the Bi pill, but now this paralysis is not strict, but the weather has been cloudy and rainy recently, and there are some mistakes. ”

The formula of Bi Bi Pill includes raw land, cooked land, continuation, aconite, lovage, bone crushing supplement, cinnamon branch, epimedium weed, parsnip, clematis, soapthorn, mutton bone, white peony, dog spine, zhimu, tendon grass and safflower, which are mainly to warm and replenish kidney yang. The curative effect of dispelling wind and dehumidifying is used to treat paralysis.

Zhu Yan sometimes finds it very strange, and there are two types of paralysis: hand and foot paralysis and internal organ paralysis. It is a treatment of hand and foot paralysis, mainly limb joints and muscles soreness, numbness, poor flexion and extension, or even joint enlargement and burning, which is similar to rheumatism and arthritis in modern medicine. She thought it strange because the paralysis was called quadriplegia, and the symptoms were related to the muscles, and the spleen was dominated by the limbs. and the main meat, according to the Tibetan elephant theory, it should be to replenish the spleen. However, there are obviously more medicinal materials in the pills that tonify the kidneys and strengthen the bones, which is more consistent with the modern understanding of joint diseases.

Chen didn't want to dwell on this illness, so he still told Zhu Yan earnestly, "Yuan Gongzi said that Miss Yuan will go back to Beijing with him in a few days." The young lady arrived in Kyochu. In the end, you still have to put on the appearance of a noble girl, and you can't show your medical skills too much. ”

After all, it's good that she can understand medicine, but she must not practice medicine as a profession, at most it is just a means of entertainment like tea art and music rhythm.

Zhu Yan listened to Chen's instructions and responded to them one by one obediently, but his mind was still on the prescription medicine, and he thought about it for a while. Holding Chen's rough hands, he gently rubbed her slightly swollen knuckles. "Chen Niang still has to take medicine, but now that you are old, I am afraid that it will be too dry to take the Bibi Pill alone, I think you have to take it with a method to nourish yin fluid."

"Ah Yan, I'm not busy with these now, I mean to let Chen Niang go to Beijing with you, and take good care of you, what do you mean?" Yuan Rin raised his eyebrows and looked at her, only then did he talk to the Chen family about a lot of past events, and learned that although Zhu Heng had left Zhu Yan in Beijing to relieve his worries, he had secretly informed her uncles and uncles and asked them to take care of them, but he didn't want to be taken to Jiangnan by Xu Suzhen first, and there was no news.

"Together?" Zhu Yan twisted her clothes and hesitated, Chen Niang seemed to be very familiar with the rules of etiquette, if she accompanied her back to Beijing, would she be subject to a lot of restrictions in the future?

Before she could decide, she was suddenly pulled by someone's sleeve, and when Zhu Yan looked down, the little girl Zhu Qi came over out of nowhere, and she hugged her sleeve and shook it.

"Two, two, Miss ......!" Chen was surprised, she thought that Zhu Qi was already dead.

"Hmm, who are you?" Zhu Qi's eyes flickered, looking at her curiously.

Chen took her small hand, rubbed it gently, and sighed lowly, "Second Miss, dry ......"

"Chen Niang." Yuan Rin saw that she was going to ask about Qianyun, and hurriedly stopped her.

Fortunately, Zhu Qi didn't know that her mother-in-law was originally called "Qianyun", and she felt that this woman must have recognized the wrong person, and she didn't take it very seriously, so she still happily hugged one of Zhu Yan's sleeves, stood on tiptoe and smiled, "Sister, do you still have the hawthorn pill you just gave me?" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yanfu replied, she forgot that Zhu Qi, the little girl, is not bad at messing around, that bottle of hawthorn pills is not a few hundred, but also seventy or eighty pills, and it may not be eaten in a while, most of them were taken by her to feed the fish and birds, and it is not known, so she shouldn't even give her the bottle.

Zhu Qi puffed out her cheeks, with a sly smile on her bud-like little face, and turned around and dragged her away, "Sister come with me!" ”

She was small and had a lot of strength, Zhu Yan was dragged by her, and she couldn't help but squeeze into the crowd, so she had to turn around and smile apologetically at Chen.

"Why did Childe just speak out to stop the old woman? Isn't that kid Miss Qi? Chen twisted his sparse eyebrows, looking at the child's appearance, it was clear that he was also similar to Qianyun.

"Miss Qianyun has passed away." Yuan Rin shook his head, "That is, three days ago, that child is so easy to be happy today, so don't bother her." ”

Chen's eyes darkened slightly, bowed his head and remained silent, and sighed for a long time, "It's made by Silk Zhen, right?" She has always hated Miss Qianyun, but she still made this step in the end. ”

“…… Chen Niang should know, Ah Yan, whose child is she? Yuan Rin saw that Zhu Yan had walked away, and continued the topic that had just been interrupted.

"The eldest lady is the child of Miss Qianyun." Chen lowered her voice, she had been burying these old things in her heart for many years, and if she buried them again, she was afraid that she would forget them.

"Back then, the lord and the Qianyun girl admired each other, but because Qianyun was a qin girl, her status was low, and the clan could not allow her to be a lady, at that time, General Xu happened to recommend the medical girl he adopted, Silk Zhen, to treat the Qianyun girl, and the master married Silk Zhen to block the mouth of the clan, but he only lived with Qianyun." Chen looked up at the sky and stroked the gray hair on the sideburns, "Who knew that Silk Zhen was pregnant with a child, and the master was to marry her to make a appearance, but he also helped her hide it, and named her 'Swallow' and raised it in the house, and those who didn't know thought it was Silk Zhen's niece." ”

"Then how could Ah Yan call her mother?" Yuan Rin frowned, since Xu Suzhen's illegitimate child was the one called "Swallow", how could Zhu Yan's nickname be this?

Chen sighed, "Just because the swallow was raised to die of illness when he was two years old, the lord was very sad to see the silk treasure, and it happened that Qianyun also gave birth to a daughter, because she was born to a concubine, I was afraid that the beloved daughter would have a bad reputation in the future, so I simply let the silk Zhen be raised, and still raised as a daughter, at that time the eldest lady was only full moon, and she has always regarded the silk as her mother." ”

"Then Chen Niang said that Mrs. Zhu hates Qianyun, what's going on?" Yuan Rin flexed his fingers and gently clasped his arm, if Xu Suzhen really hated Qianyun, what about Zhu Yan? They look so similar, will Xu Suzhen also turn to hate Zhu Yan?

Chen shook his head, his brows locked more and more tightly, "If you want to talk about this matter, it was not right to be silky, the old man married her back then just to look at General Xu's face, otherwise she was a medical girl and had a child with others, how could she still live so comfortably in the mansion?" ”

In the end, the doctor girl is just a job to serve people, so when Chen heard that Zhu Yan knew how to heal, he was really very worried, fortunately, Zhu Yan's reputation in large families is mostly good at makeup and other things, or it is rumored that she can come back to life and cure all kinds of strange diseases, such a reputation is reasonable.

"But Silk Zhen gradually gave birth to a jealous heart, I couldn't see Qianyun she was intimate with the master, and then the shape of Jingzhong shì was a little bad, Qianyun somehow quarreled with the master, and then left the capital alone, and I never saw her again." Chen shook her head again, she lifted Xu Suzhen to have that little thought later, but it was her mistake.

"It turns out that there is such a story in it." Yuan Rin straightened out the general line of thought, and felt more and more that Xu Suzhen would not have any good intentions when she raised Zhu Yan.

Since Xu Suzhen is jealous of Qianyun and hateful, there is no reason not to hate Zhu Yan who has the same appearance as her, and there is only one reason for raising her for so many years, that is, to hold Zhu Yan firmly in her hands, and see with her own eyes how miserable she will be in the future, so as to relieve the hatred in her heart.

In this way, it is easy to explain that she will be a widow after her cousin's death, and according to Zhu Yan's vague meaning to him, the real Zhu Yan is indeed depressed, and even sick and dying, and a wisp of soul does not know where to go - Xu Suzhen's purpose has actually been achieved.

But Zhu Yan has come back to life, and she has lived a good life with her own ability, will Xu Suzhen have other movements?

Zhu Yan was very lively there, and was dragged all the way by Zhu Qi to a poplar tree, and saw that Mingzi was bargaining with a merchant there, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Mingzi, why bother to learn that stingy appearance?" If you buy flowers for a girl's family, you shouldn't cherish the copper. ”

Mingzi's face turned red, and his head shook like a rattle, "No, Sister Yanzi, it was this merchant who asked you, are there any other pills like hawthorn pills?" ”

"The girl is good, the little one is called Shen Qian, and she is a merchant in the shops in the south of the Yangtze River." The merchant took the burden off his shoulders and bowed to Zhu Yan in a dignified manner. (To be continued......)
