Chapter 112: Rain Falls and Cold Spring [3]
Zhu Yan was startled, and didn't pay attention to a small car speeding towards her, Yuan Rin hurriedly took her to the grass on the side, but the car that was driving in front of her also stopped.
The coachman looked at Zhu Yan in amazement, his tongue knotted, "This is Miss Zhu, when did the girl get married?" ”
"Sister Yan." The curtain of the car was lifted, covered with a black veil, and his head poked out, with a golden phoenix hairpin on his head, and the beads in the phoenix's mouth trembled endlessly.
Shu raised his eyes and looked around, and saw that there was no one nearby, so he slowly got out of the car, "Sister Yan, this road only leads to the Linshui Niangniang Temple in the village, what are you doing here?" ”
"Yuan Gongzi and I are going to worship the water lady." Zhu Yan smiled as he spoke, not realizing how wonderful the coachman's face was.
Shu was veiled, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but the eyes she looked at Yuan Rin were breathing fire with needles, and she hated to kill him immediately, "What did you do to her?!" ”
"Miss Relief may have misunderstood, I just saw that Ah Yan was in a bad mood, and took her out to play, it just so happened that today is the birthday of Linshui Niangniang, so I came to pay a respect, why not?" Yuan Rin pursed her lips and chuckled, looking at the black veil of Shu falling together, she could feel her monstrous anger.
"Why not?!" Shu pulled Zhu Yan behind him, and a fan in his hand pointed directly at Yuan Rin, "Naturally, there is no such custom in Beijing, but I don't believe that you don't know the customs of this place, this Linshui Niangniang is a god who protects women with difficult birth, but what are you doing with Sister Yan to worship her?" ”
Zhu Yan was stunned and was about to speak. The curtain opened again, and Xu Yuqing sat in it with a big belly, and her almond eyes were still a little hazy. I think I woke up from my sleep.
"Cousin Yan, why are you here?" Xu Yuqing's eyes widened, surprised and happy, straightened up slightly, and began to chatter, "Cousin Yan, Sister Shu told me that day when you went back, you met Yang's shameless one." Sister Shu helped you teach her a good lesson, do you feel happy? ”
"Naturally happy." Zhu Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth and pulled out a rather sweet and satisfied smile. While tucking the curtain, "It's windy outside, cousin stay inside and don't come out." ”
Turning around, he was still in the same action as before. made Zhu Yan a little worried about whether she would be angry. He wounded people with his Hidden Arrows as he did last time.
"Sister Shu......" Zhu Yan was just about to speak to persuade her, but she didn't want Yuan Rin to bow her hand one step ahead of her.
"Miss Relief thinks it's a misunderstanding, Xuanqing and Ah Yan are both practicing medicine, this god who treats dystocia naturally wants to worship, but it has nothing to do with others." What he said made sense, and Zhu Yan couldn't help but be stunned for a while, although he knew in his heart that he was purely talking nonsense. But there was nothing to dismiss him.
Shu is indeed angry, all these years. There was really no one who could choke her speechless, she stalemate for a moment, and then let go slightly, her tone was still very cold, "You can't take Sister Yan there." ”
"Sister Shu...... It doesn't matter, what Yuan Gongzi said also makes sense, since I am a doctor, this gynecology and pediatrics will naturally be encountered, and it is not a big deal to worship this Linshui Niangniang. Zhu Yan didn't want to be entangled here, anyway, he had already decided to marry Yuan Rin, if he really didn't want to marry one day, he would go to Lingnan to live in seclusion, as for those gossips, whether he intended to do this or not, since that day should be over, she naturally listened to Yuan Rin's arrangement.
"Ah Yan understands righteousness." Yuan Rin glanced at it lightly, and reached out to pull Zhu Yan's sleeve, "Let's go." ”
Zhu Yan obediently followed him, sighing secretly, but he really couldn't figure out what happened to the two.
The temple of the waterside lady is very dense, but when she looks at it, all the women are wearing red and green, and when she saw Yuan Rin and a young man walk in, the people inside were stunned.
But because the style of the small villagers in Jiangnan is very open, there is no one who puts on a young lady's style to surround the veil like Shu, but the hot conversation is slightly lowered.
Zhu Yan saw that the clay body of the waterfront lady was very kind, so she stepped forward and bowed slightly, which was regarded as worshipping, Yuan Rin came with her, so naturally she also went up to bow together, and then still came out reflexively.
When she was about to leave the temple gate, an elderly woman was looking at Zhu Yan and smiling, nodding her head and complimenting, "The girl is so good-looking, no wonder the husband and wife in the family are accompanied to protect the safety of the child's mother, the old woman has guarded the temple for so many years, but I have never seen a husband and wife come to worship together." ”
No matter how good Zhu Yan's psychological element is, no matter how thick his face is, he can't help but blush, and hurriedly stepped out of the threshold, but when he looked up, he found that the sky outside was gloomy, and a rain was quietly coming, and the dripping eaves in front of him were dripping with water.
Yuan Rin was still in the door, and he calmly exchanged a few words with the old woman who was in charge of the waterfront Niangniang Temple, and then he took a quick step out.
"I can't go for a while, I can't imagine that the weather in Jiangnan has become so fast." Yuan Rin glanced at Zhu Yan, originally wanting to say how she had lived here for so many years and couldn't see the weather change, but after thinking about it, she seemed to have forgotten many things, probably even this one.
"What then?" Zhu Yan looked at the sky with a sad face, the light rain in late winter and early spring was dripping, although it was not as loud as the thunderstorm in summer, but there was really no way to stop, and she didn't have much to wear, and a little cold could still stop it, this cold air rushed up from the ground after the gloomy moisture, but she couldn't resist it.
Yuan Rin thought that she was also very cold, so he pulled her into the temple without a sound, and bowed slightly to the old woman, "We came out in a bit of a hurry this time, can we borrow the old man's place to avoid it, and my family will pick it up in a while." ”
"Nature, nature." The old woman was very enthusiastic to lead them to the backyard where she lived on weekdays, and specially made tea to warm Zhu Yan's hands, although it was not a good tea, it smelled fragrant and pleasant, Zhu Yan smiled and said "thank you" to her.
It is rare for the old woman to see such a young man who matches each other, there is nothing to do in the temple left and right, so she simply rested in the courtyard, looking up and down, left and right, and finally couldn't help but admire, "It's really a good match, I'm afraid the two are not from this village?" It's not from that town? ”
Zhu Yan coughed slightly, and she didn't know if she was too "deep and simple" in the past, or too deep and simple with the old woman, she didn't recognize herself, a medical woman who was already popular in this area, it was really strange.
"Indeed, we are from the capital." Yuan Rin did not expose her, and told a cheap lie by the way.
"Oh, I'll just say, the temperament of the two of them is not comparable to the people in our village." The old woman nodded yes, her old eyes narrowed, she didn't know what she remembered, after a while, the old man's voice sounded quite distant, "If you want to say this, the old woman remembers what Zhu Siye from the village lived in this capital in the past, he and his young lady are like this, but his lady is a little rustic, only like us." ”
Hearing that Zhu Heng and himself were mentioned, Zhu Yan's eyebrows jumped, and Yuan Rin's eyes lit up, and he seemed to be casually talking, "Does the old man want to recognize that lady?" ”
Zhu Yan frowned, why didn't he ask others, just asked about Xu Suzhen? Could it be that Xu Silk Zhen really has something special?
"The little boy is really the right person." The old woman patted her thigh, and smiled, "The girl of the Wang family, the old woman naturally knows it, the Wang family originally had a miracle doctor, but I didn't think that my children and grandchildren would not be angry, and the old miracle doctor's family business would be wiped out, how do you want to ask for a daughter-in-law if you have no money?" The father sold his youngest daughter to the Xu family to be a girl, so that he could come and start a family for his son. ”
Zhu Yan's heart tightened slightly, Xu Suzhen used to be the girl of the Xu Mansion, not an adopted daughter?
Yuan Rin just listened indifferently, as if he had expected it, and only threw out an urgent look and motioned for the old woman to continue.
"This girl's grandfather is the miracle doctor, people say that he is missing, but he came back somehow that year, I heard that the little granddaughter was sold to be a maid, and hurriedly begged to go to Xu's house." The old woman took a sip of tea and slapped the table, "The Xu family was still in power at that time, General Xu, he was a kind-hearted person, after the request of this miracle doctor, the maid didn't want it, and asked the old miracle doctor to take it back to teach some rough medical skills, and in a few years, it was actually brought back as a daughter to raise." ”
"Sure enough, my heart is very kind." Yuan Rin sneered slightly, and then accepted it.
"Later, General Xu mixed well in the capital, and heard that there was a big official who was often sick, and it was best to find a doctor to serve him, so the general mentioned the young lady he maintained to him, thinking that the young lady had good medical skills and was a famous girl, and the official happily married back as a wife-" Zhu Yan heard that things were not going to go up and down, and was about to lower his head to sip tea, but the old woman threw out a very shocking news, "I don't want to be just before that young lady marries to the capital, and I heard that there is a stumbling in this temple one night, Thinking that maybe there was a passing overnight at night, I came to take a look, but I didn't want to see the young lady kneeling in front of the water lady, begging the mother to protect the child in her womb to be born safely. ”
Zhu Yan's eyes widened when he heard this, he didn't come back to his senses, he choked on a sip of tea, and his eyes were red.
"Ah Yan." Yuan Rin handed over a clean handkerchief very intimately, turned his head and asked the old woman lightly, "Old man, how long ago was that?" ”
The old woman looked up and calculated, "It must have been more than twenty years." Seeing that Zhu Yan's face was like pear blossoms with rain, he looked at her with pity, and said comfortingly, "I think it's a young lady in the capital like a little girl, and she is naturally polite, but I don't know that the women here may have personal affairs with others."
