After Mei Niang left, Zhu Yan went to the bamboo garden in anger.

The hut mentioned by Xu Suzhen is on the edge of the bamboo garden. This was the place where the ancestor of the Wang family practiced medicine, and he lived here in his twilight years until his death.

The furnishings inside are simple, the tables and chairs are piled with books, and a few boxes of medicinal herbs from yesterday are being placed under the corridor.

Zhu Yan dusted off his ashes lightly, bored watching the flying dust float in the sunlight that filtered through the window.

"Swallow!"

The door was slammed open, and the dust that had just calmed down rose again.

Naturally, it was Xu Suzhen who came in, but there was still a young woman standing behind her, only thirty years old, with a blue-gray short jacket and black silk edges, although it was simple, but it was dignified.

"Are you ......?" Seeing someone visiting, Zhu Yan slowly walked out of the house, and a green silk shone in the sun.

"Miss Zhu, I'm really embarrassed. Our young lady's condition has deteriorated, and I would like to ask you to do your best to diagnose and treat her. The woman bowed her head slightly, her expression was humble, and she was like Mei Niang just now.

Zhu Yan hesitated for a moment, "Deterioration? Yesterday, Mrs. Bian said that the young lady's illness had been delayed for ten months, how could it suddenly deteriorate? ”

The woman was not confused at all, she looked up at her, and her voice was calm, "The young lady was too happy to see the little boy recover, so her condition worsened. ”

"Really......?" Zhu Yan was still hesitating, but she thought that pregnant women were more susceptible to emotional interference than ordinary people, let alone a person who had been sick for a long time.

"Swallow, since someone has come to invite you, you can go and have a look." Xu Suzhen had a good impression of the woman's attitude, and hoped that the matter could be over, but urged Zhu Yan to pass.

Zhu Yan smiled at the woman, reached out and dusted off her sleeve, "Mother still has farm work today, it seems that my sister-in-law and I have to go first." ”

In the delicate car, an ebony tea tray is placed on a low table, and sandalwood curls inside, rising little by little from the hollow incense box.

"Does the girl drink tea?" The woman skillfully took a little tea from a bamboo teaspoon and poured it into the teapot with azure ice cracks, making a small crumbling sound, as ethereal as silver dust falling into a jade plate.

The woman's clothes match the color of the tea set, giving people a sense of harmonious beauty, Zhu Yan is a little reluctant to break such a painting for a while, wearing it for so long, it is the first time to truly appreciate this antique beauty.

"Girl...... When the woman saw that the tea was slowly boiling, she picked up the sea of tea beside her.

Zhu Yan came back to his senses and smiled faintly, "The two of us drink tea, so we don't have to use a fair cup." ”

The woman showed a look of surprise, slowly put down the sea of tea, and raised her eyes to look at Zhu Yan carefully.

"Miss Zhu is worthy of her name, and she is indeed more elegant than ordinary ladies."

Such words sounded quite ironic, but judging from her tone, Zhu Yan could sense that she meant it sincerely.

The slender hand took the smelling cup handed by the woman, felt the warm tea warm his slightly cold hand, Zhu Yan sniffed a wisp of tea lightly, and smiled, "Sister-in-law has won the award." ”

"The girl is beautiful and delicious, which makes people admire." The woman was also smiling, cleaning up the residue with a tea sweep, and her demeanor was demure.

Zhu Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, "My sister-in-law is also very elegant when she speaks, but I'm afraid that she is not from Bailang Town?" ”

Yesterday, she saw Mrs. Bian, although she was much better than the Zhou family, but in the end she couldn't get rid of the habits of a rich family, and the woman in front of her was simple and elegant, if she hadn't been nurtured since childhood, I was afraid that she couldn't do it.

“…… The girl has good eyesight. The woman unconsciously stopped the movements in her hand, and was very curious about this peasant woman, "The concubine was originally the maid of the young lady when she was a girl at home, and her name was Lilac. The young lady is a native of Beijing, and the master of the family is an official and attaches great importance to upbringing. ”

"Between the eyebrows, thousands of knots of cloves...... Sister Lilac is indeed as her name suggests. Zhu Yan nodded slowly, reached out and poured the tea in the fragrant cup into the tea cup, and his hand was clean and neat, and not a drop of tea was splashed.

Lilac could see it, and said with a smile for a while: "The girl's tea art seems to be also a technique in Beijing?" ”

"My father was a native of the capital, and these were all taught by him when he was still alive." Zhu Yan took a sip of tea, a wisp of light and distant aroma spread between his lips and teeth, and he seemed to see a wisp of tea trees in the continuous green hills, and the drizzle was weaving slowly, washing the emerald green leaves shiny.

"Girl, Lilac is married now, although her husband's family died early, you still call me sister-in-law." Lilac saw that she closed her eyes and was silent, her expression was quiet and charming, and she didn't realize that she was in a trance.

Zhu Yan smiled, her lips were dyed with clear tea, which looked particularly red and cute, "Sister Lilac Shaohua has not passed away, so it will call people old, so Zhu Yan will call you sister." ”

"It's a happy event for a sister to have a beautiful sister like you." Lilac is generous, so he agreed.

After walking for a while, the outside gradually became lively, Lilac's expression became a little hesitant, and she smiled a little unnaturally, "This is to the town, Sister Zhu Yan, in fact, my sister hid something from you just now......

"I know." Zhu Yan held the azure teacup, her white jade-like fingers brushing the criss-crossing cracks over and over again, and there was no trace of anger in her tone, "The young lady's condition has not deteriorated, has it?" ”

Lilac was stunned, a pair of eyes stared at her firmly, and her mouth couldn't close for a while, "How does my sister know?" ”

Zhu Yan put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "It's just a guess, I think a person can give birth to a child in an illness, presumably although this disease is difficult to treat, it will not be fatal in the short term." ”

“…… Yes, my sister is discerning. Lilac exhaled slowly, and there seemed to be some regret between her words, "Actually, my sister has heard a little about you, otherwise it would not be too much to learn with your appearance, even if you are worthy of my son-in-law." ”

Zhu Yan frowned slightly, can't you talk about something that has nothing to do with marriage? The general has only solved a family matter, why should he have another one?

Ding Xiang saw that her face was embarrassed, and chuckled: "Sister Zhu Yan, don't be unhappy, our son is the younger brother of the young lady, not like those sons and brothers in the capital, he also knows a lot about medical skills, I heard that my sister is sick, so I rushed to visit." ”

"So, does he want to see me?" Zhu Yan didn't take it to heart, a person who is familiar with medical skills will probably be curious when he learns that he has cured a strange disease like "askinia", and wants to see himself, right?

"Sister Zhu Yan, if my sister helps you talk, maybe the son will take a fancy to you?" Lilac held her hand and smiled, as if her sister was worried about her sister's future.

Zhu Yan brushed her sideburns and hair, seeing that Ding Xiang cared about her like this, her heart warmed slightly, but she still politely refused, "Sister Ding Xiang, Zhu Yan is already nineteen, and she has no intention of remarrying." ”
