Chapter Ninety-Eight: Listening to Firecrackers in the Midnight [2]

Zhu Yan was dragged into the hall by Bai Ping, turned her head to see her mysteriously covering the door, and couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, "What do you want to say, girl?" So sneaky. ”

Bai Ping looked at her and blinked, took out a delicate bag from her sleeve, and shook it in front of Zhu Yan's eyes, "Girl, guess who sent this New Year's gift?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Yuan Rin? Zhu Yan squinted and looked at the pattern on the baggage, which was exactly the same as the handkerchief that Yuan Rin gave her, and it was naturally sent by him.

"Yo, that's a real heart!" Apple smiled mischievously, shoved the burden into her hand, and stuck to Zhu Yan's side with her eyes flashing, "Girl, open it up and see, what are the things?" ”

Zhu Yan opened it, and inside was a letter, and in addition to an oiled paper bag.

Apple knew that Zhu Yan had never cared about any rules, and when she saw her pick up the letter, she honestly and unceremoniously grabbed the oiled paper package and opened it carefully.

Zhu Yan ignored her, slowly opened the letter and read it word by word.

The handwriting on it is really the same as the handwriting of the "History of Letters", Yuan Rin's wording is very polite, and it also seems a little alienated, but he is just asking about the warmth and coldness of the diet, and then asks about his sister's condition, Zhu Yan looked bored all the way, and was about to put away the letter paper and reply to inform Yuan Yaohua's heart knot, his eyes suddenly stopped on the last few columns, and he couldn't move away for a long time.

"With the approval of the master, a pair of prescriptions and a package of medicinal materials are attached to the letter, which can be used to make drugs. If you are alone, be sure to carry it in your sleeve in case of accidents. ”

Zhu Yan raised his head steadily, and subconsciously looked at the oiled paper bag opened in Bai Ping's hand, and sure enough, there was a thin prescription and a small packet of medicinal herbs inside.

Apple was in a trance when she saw her. Flattened his mouth more and more, and muttered dissatisfiedly, "I thought that Yuan Gongzi would give the girl some clothes and hairpins." It's really not possible, a little bit of play can also be used as a token of love, this bag of useless medicinal materials, but what do you want it to do? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Apple, this prescription is more precious than everything in the world. Zhu Yan pursed her lips and chuckled, this kind of medicine that can make people fall into a stupor quickly and is not easy to be detected, even if a weak woman takes it, it can harm the world at will. Yuan Rin was able to give this party to himself without reservation, which was a gift of his trust. How can she afford it?

Bai Ping blinked in confusion, the Yuan family is a big family in the capital, even if he knows that Zhu Yan likes to tinker with these medicinal materials, isn't it too cold to send these during the New Year?

Zhu Yan didn't want to explain too much to her. Carefully tuck the letter into your sleeve. While smiling, he instructed Apple, "You follow me to the upper house, and we will pack up the needlework and thread to be sent for the New Year, although it is not an expensive thing, it is also a piece of heart." ”

Bai Ping puffed out her cheeks, and followed Zhu Yan dissatisfiedly to count the Yuan family, who was too stingy, and had no sincerity at all, seeing that Zhu Yan never responded. Apple panicked and turned to stop in front of her. "Girl, you must not bear it! I think that although Yuan Gongzi is a very good person, Yuan's attitude towards the girl is too bad! Girl, if you accept the gift so obediently, and marry in Beijing in the future, you must not be looked down upon by those other concubines? Also, how can such a big family not have a few beautiful concubines, the girl is so kind-hearted, and she must not be harmed by others when the time comes? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You girl thinks so far ahead. Zhu Yan smiled tiredly and gently tapped the corner of her forehead, "I really don't know what is in your little head, why do you have such thoughts all day long?" ”

Apple flattened her lips with a solemn expression, "Girl is talking nonsense again, and Apple wants to know what you're thinking?" This marriage is a girl's lifelong event, every time the girl talks about this, she always looks careless, how can it go on like this?! ”

Zhu Yan saw that she was so anxious that she was about to cry, so she smiled helplessly, "Okay, I promise you that you will be more attentive in the future, okay?" ”

"Really?!" Apple grinned as she tugged at her sleeve, but the tears were in her eyes, and the smile squeezed them out and down her reddish cheeks.

Zhu Yan sighed and helped her wipe her tears, "You...... If you cry again, you'll be a cat's face......"

"It's not all for the girl's good ......" Bai Ping flattened her mouth aggrievedly, and then burst into tears and laughed, "The girl can't break her word, a good person like Yuan Gongzi is obsessed with the girl, but she can't find it with a lantern." ”

"Okay, got itβ€”" Zhu Yan replied tirelessly, as she raised the thick felt curtain and lit the oil lamp in the room.

A warm and soft orange glow rippled through the room, and the desk under the window had been moved to the center, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on it had been removed, and instead it was piled with colorful brocade and embroidery thread.

The dresser was still full of jars and jars, refracting the flickering and hazy light like a dream.

When Bai Ping had something to do, she no longer gave Zhu Yan "love guidance", but sat down, carefully sorted out the embroidery on the table, divided it into a piece with the rouge gouache, and then put it into a delicate bag, tightened the drawstring, and tied a beautiful wishful knot.

After the desk was half empty, Zhu Yan put down the work in his hand, took the pen and paper that had been collected a few times, and began to write a reply to Yuan Rin.

As Apple continued to sort out the rest of the gifts, she looked at the look on her face with great interest, and couldn't help but laugh when she rubbed her brow in distress at first, but then she started to write like a fly.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yan happened to finish writing, looked at the letter with satisfaction, gently blew the half-dried ink, heard Apple chuckle, raised his head and gave an inquiring look.

"I don't know what the girl wrote, she was so distressed at first." Bai Ping stuck out her tongue, in her opinion, Zhu Yan secretly wrote some love words in it on time - after all, the two hugged each other that day, and later heard that Yuan Rin personally sent her home, and stayed here until Xu Suzhen came back.

"Oh, just a few words of gratitude." Zhu Yan looked at the beginning and frowned, Yuan Rin was able to inform himself of the prescription of the drug, out of politeness, she naturally had to write a few beautiful words, but unfortunately her talent in this area was too low, and she finally held back a few lines of words in difficult childbirth, but it was still not pleasing to the eye, as for the later talk of Yuan Yaohua's condition and his own opinions, this pen is much smoother, faster than talcum powder.

After Bai Ping finished cleaning up the things on the table, she picked up a piece of red silk cloth with a golden entwined lotus pattern, held it in her arms, turned sideways from the curtain, and smiled outside: "Girl, go to sleep quickly, don't think about Yuan Gongzi anymore, tomorrow I will have to steam cakes and write couplets!" ”

Zhu Yan held her forehead helplessly, Bai Ping's mind was always on those things, and she really couldn't help it.

However, when I thought of Yuan Rin, a trace of warmth suddenly appeared in my heart, and a trace of oil-paper umbrella in the smoke and rain seemed to appear in front of me, with tall green bamboos and elegant blue clothes...... It's dimly like a dream.

Zhu Yan saw that he hadn't yet reached the third watch, and he couldn't sleep for a while, so he carefully took out the recipe in his sleeve and sat down in front of him to carefully study the medicinal materials on it.

Those drugs are really mandala, mountain heel and other drugs that can cause hallucinations, but a very small amount of snake venom is added to them, which is not difficult, only the dosage compatibility of this drug is the concentrated embodiment of the wisdom of the pharmacist.

Zhu Yan looked all the way, took out a piece of bamboo paper, and used the charcoal pen of a thrush to draft on it, calculating the dosage of various drugs...... It seemed like she hadn't done it for years, and she was now more and more skeptical that she had really lived in an era with electric lights, airplanes, and running water and gas.

The calculation lasted for a long time, and one after another of bamboo paper was smeared with handwriting, lying quietly in her hand.

Unconsciously, the sky was already slightly bright, and the sudden rooster crow in the early morning woke Zhu Yan up from the sea of numbers, and when he looked up, he realized that the sky was almost bright.

Zhu Yan exhaled slowly, looked at his calculation results with satisfaction, and suddenly felt a throbbing pain in the top of his head, thinking that it was too sad to stay up all night, and when he turned around, he fell directly on his back on the bed, and he didn't even have time to take off his clothes, so he fell asleep with his eyes closed.

A few hours later, Apple entered the house with a change of clothes, and saw Zhu Yan lying on the quilt sleeping in the dark, and was so shocked that even the clothes in her hand fell to the ground.

Zhu Yan was alarmed by the slight noise, turned over and continued to sleep.

Bai Ping sighed softly, glanced at a large stack of bamboo paper full of strange symbols written on a few days, had already guessed what strange things she was studying last night until late at night, so she turned around and went to the wall to get a large quilt and cover Zhu Yan, she didn't dare to move a few things, so she had to clean up the side, still quietly reflexively went out.

Zhu Yan slept for a long time, and in his dreams he was in the old days for a while, and then he was dressed in blue clothes like water, and then it became a swamp full of lycoris and artemisia grass that he had dreamed of that day.

"Oh, the girl is awake!" When I opened my eyes, I saw Bai Ping's smiling face, holding a small celadon plate in her hand, and a piece of snow-white and sweet lard glutinous rice cake inside.

Zhu Yan sat up in a daze, and sniffed hard, and the fragrance of the freshly steamed rice cake immediately penetrated into his nose, arousing the appetite suppressed by the dream.

"The girl is in bed today." Ping put the celadon plate on the dressing table, sat down beside Zhu Yan, and smiled softly, "It's noon, and the cakes in our previous cage are all out of the cage, if it weren't for its sweet and tempting, the girl wouldn't have woken up yet." ”

Zhu Yan lowered his head, a little surprised, he is not a person who likes to lie in bed, since he crossed here, his work and rest time is also very regular, and he didn't want to miss the rest time last night because he was too engrossed in calculating the dosage of medicinal materials.
