Chapter 301: Pitching in This Life [1]
Zhu Yan carefully read the letters, except for a letter written by Xu Silk Zhen, the others were the accounts of Tongjuntang and other places.
She came in in a trance, her head didn't want to turn at all, and the accounts were just glanced at a few times, but she still put them away.
However, Xu Suzhen's letter touched her a little, and the letter said that there are only more than ten people who know that she is still alive, as long as she stays away from Beijing and lives in a simple place, no one will come to disturb her in this life.
As for Xu Suzhen herself, she chose to stay in Beijing and continue to run several pharmacies.
Also, Xu Suzhen mentioned that she had been busy with affairs recently, and she was afraid that she would not have time to leave Beijing, so she came to visit her in this hidden grange, and Yin Yin told her to be careful in everything and take care of her health.
"I was seeing people and developing medicines in order to live a stable life with my mother...... I've been looking forward to it for so long, but in the end, I went back to Jiangnan alone? Zhu Yan stacked all the letters neatly according to their original appearance, and covered her eyes with some loss, "I have no objection to my mother's decision...... Once she had taken care of all the things that mattered to me, I set off for home. ”
Akiko was about to take the letters, and when she said this, she almost threw away the letters in her hand, "How does my sister know...... Aunt Silk Zhen has something to deal with......? ”
"If it's not about me, why do you write to me to tell me?" Zhu Yan was still smiling, although she was not healed and was too lazy to think, she didn't necessarily really can't understand anything.
Xu Suzhen is such a powerful woman, if it weren't for the important things related to her, Xu Suzhen would never go to deal with it personally.
But. What the hell is going on? Could it be related to Yuan Rin?
Zhu Yan pursed her lips tightly, and gently covered her heart with one hand, breathing a sigh of relief. Raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
"Girl......" Bai Apple bit her lip, "what is the girl thinking?" ”
"It's fine." Zhu Yan raised his head, his eyes had returned to a flat state, and handed her the handkerchief in his hand, "Bai Ping, wrap those medicines for me, be careful not to get them on your hands." ”
Bai Apple flickered. As instructed, the dried powder is carefully wrapped and placed in a clean dish.
"This ...... Hand it over to my mother for me. Zhu Yan handed the plate to Mingzi along with the small bag, "It shouldn't taste special." One scoop is enough. ”
"Okay." Akiko didn't ask too much, put away the letter and cloth bag, and got up to say goodbye.
"Akiko." When he walked outside the curtain, Zhu Yan suddenly called him again. "When will you and Ah Qi get married?"
Akiko took a deep breath. In fact, it's really too early to talk about marriage," ...... Wait for everything to settle down. ”
Zhu Yan smiled lightly, "That's also good, you guys ...... back Will you stay in Beijing all the time? My mother told a big lie and lied to a few uncles and uncles that I was dead, but I was afraid that I would have to leave Ah Qi this time. ”
Zhu Qi was entrusted to Xu Suzhen by Qianyun, and now her identity is the same as that of her daughter-in-law, so Zhu naturally will not let her leave Beijing at will.
"That's what Sister Yan said." Akiko turned her head. "However, I don't think Ah Qi likes to stay in Beijing and be restrained. If she knew that this move would allow Sister Yan to escape from Beijing, she would also be happy. ”
“…… It's because I can't live with Ah Qi. Zhu Yan shook her head, as the eldest sister, she couldn't give Zhu Qi any shelter, but wanted to teach a little girl to exchange her freedom for her to spend the rest of her life safely.
Akiko sighed, didn't say anything more, and slowly left.
Zhu Yan raised his eyes and came back to his senses, and gently called Bai Apple, "Can the almonds I bought a few days ago be processed?" ”
"It should be good, Bai Apple will ask in a while." Bai Apple tilted her head in confusion.
When Zhu Yan started grinding castor beans a few days ago, he asked Qi Niang to get several bags of almonds, saying that he wanted to squeeze the oil.
"Girl, I asked Chen Niang, and she said that what Qi Niang found were some bitter almonds, not as sweet and delicious as sweet almonds, and if you eat too much, you will be poisoned."
"I know." Zhu Yan narrowed her eyes, if there was no toxicity, why did she grind Qi Niang to find bitter almonds.
"Yan, do you know what you're doing?" Yongwu met Mingzi outside, and after learning that Zhu Yan had given him a suspicious package of medicine, he immediately came to look for her, "Bai Apple, and go out." ”
Bai Ping didn't know why, but it was rare to see that Yong Wu was so serious, so she hurriedly got up and left, just for Zhu Yan to ask if the almond oil she was thinking about was squeezed.
"Never, I haven't seen you in days." Zhu Yan stood up, faintly dizzy, and squinted at him with a veil on the side.
"Ah Yan, what did you give Mingzi?" Yong Wu stepped forward to support her weak body, glanced down at the medicinal powder and knives and scissors piled on a few tables, and persuaded in a deep voice, "Your body has not recovered, don't bother." ”
Zhu Yan smiled and shook his head, "I have nothing to do every day, and occasionally get some medicinal powder, how can I be considered tired?" ”
Never looked down at her eyes, trying to see something from them, but all he saw was an empty pale smile, so he had to emphasize word by word, "Ah Yan, do you know who Mingzi will hand over that medicine powder to?" ”
"I know." Zhu Yan bit her lip, "Mingzi will hand over those medicinal powders to his mother, and transfer them to Xuanqing through his mother's hands." ”
"If you know, why do you want to do this?" Never look at her careless appearance, helpless.
"The powder...... There is no trace of taste, and no one will notice that something is wrong. Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I can make sure that this matter is foolproof." ”
Yong was blocked by her and had nothing to say, and sighed lightly at the end, "What you did is called 'killing the king'." ”
“…… Do you care? Zhu Yan raised his eyes, with a little surprise, "King Fushun is no longer ...... Why bother to take it to heart, even Sister Shu herself ...... Moreover, for their own purposes, anyone can die......" Zhu Yan closed his eyes and bit his lower lip lightly, looking like he was gritting his teeth, "It's not that there is any hatred, it's just ...... If he does not die, no one else can live in peace. ”
"I never knew that Ah Yan was like this." Never clenched his hands.
"I used to be like this." Zhu Yan smiled, "Most people in the world who are involved in power and scheming think like this, otherwise this distinction between good and evil can teach a person to die in remorse." ”
Seeing that Yongwu didn't speak, Zhu Yan rubbed the corners of his forehead, "Don't talk about this, I haven't stepped out of the door these days, I'm so uncomfortable, I'll never accompany me to the courtyard for a walk, okay?" ”
Zhu Yan stopped in front of the castor plant in the courtyard.
The time of late autumn seems to pass very quickly, and it is clear that there is only half a month, and the original verdant castor beans have all withered, and the yellow branches and leaves "rustle" in the autumn wind.
The autumn rain season has passed, and the sun is very good, and it is a little dazzling.
Zhu Yan vaguely felt that his vision was a little dim, and subconsciously reached out to cover his forehead and rubbed the corners of his forehead.
Yong Wu followed behind her, saw her small movements very clearly, and gently held her shoulders, "Ah Yan, are you dizzy?" (To be continued......)
