Chapter 22: The Wind Knocks the Bamboo Dew [5]
Outside, it was completely overcast, and the gray rain had woven a curtain in the garden.
Zhu Yan looked at the begonia tree in the rain, looked back and smiled, "The rain is so heavy unconsciously." ”
The wet rain under the cornices splashed on half of her cheeks, washing out a beautiful and refined charm.
Lilac stretched out an oil-paper umbrella, obliquely a mistake, poked out of the eaves, cut a hole in the perfect rain curtain, and handed it to Zhu Yan, the umbrella bone is made of boxwood, simple and elegant, and precious.
"Miss Zhu, put on clogs, don't get your embroidered shoes wet." Lilac smiled, took out a pair of black high-soled clogs from inside the door, waited for Zhu Yan to change them, and reached out to pick up a pair of white shoes she had taken off.
The royal blue edging of the cuff is finely stitched, and there is a bush of fragrant grass on the half-old satin, which is worn from time to time with several large-winged butterflies, which are lifelike.
Lilac couldn't help but admire, "This kind of craftsmanship is difficult for embroiderers in the capital to match." ”
"Sister Lilac is laughing, Zhu Yan has been sick for many years, and she has long been abandoned." Zhu Yanqiang smiled, she didn't know if she had inherited the embroidery skills of the deity, if she didn't perfunctory first, it would be exposed.
Lilac took out the oil paper and wrapped the shoes finely, and stuffed them into Zhu Yan's hands, "The girl is humble again." ”
Here is changing into a coat and hat, and four little girls come out of the back, all thirteen or fourteen years old, each carrying a food box with carved flowers, and respectfully stepped forward.
"Miss Zhu, your great kindness and concubine are unforgettable, since you have delayed your meal with Lingtang this time, I have already ordered the kitchen to prepare some meals." Mrs. Bian stepped forward and pulled Zhu Yan with a sincere face, and she was really gracious.
“…… Madam, Zhu Yan is just a gesture. Although Zhu Yan knew that most of them couldn't be pushed, he still symbolically politely said a few words, "The young lady's testimony also depends on Yuan Gongzi's accurate judgment, and the prescription is also written by Gongzi, Zhu Yan is really ashamed and can't help a little." ”
"Madam, I'll send Miss Zhu back, but I can't miss her mother's meal." Yuan Xuanqing slowly stretched out the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and broke into the rain.
Lilac smiled slightly, holding Zhu Yan, "Girl, let's follow too." ”
Zhu Yan nodded, and said goodbye to Mrs. Bian, "In a hurry today, I don't know if Ling Sun's current situation is good?" ”
"But how did you forget about it! The child is fine now, and because he is sleeping soundly today, if the girl comes to the nurse for a follow-up, she will ask them to take them out, so that she can meet the benefactor who saved her life! Mrs. Bian either didn't speak, but when she did, she was full of enthusiasm and talking.
Zhu Yan smiled slightly, "Madame is serious, Zhu Yan will leave for the time being today, and I will see you again in the future." I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, this side family, I really don't want to come again.
Walking out of the gate, it was still the delicate and small carriage, with a white silhouette rising in the heavy rain.
Yuan Xuanqing stood beside the car with an umbrella, standing on the steps of the gate, Zhu Yan saw that the umbrella in his hand was painted with a few green and straight bamboo sticks, which were moistened by the rain, and looked more and more green and bright.
"Zhan Bi Qiao, green bamboo. There are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding. ”
Somehow, Zhu Yan remembered this sentence in the "Book of Songs", and then looked at the blue-shirted man standing silently under the umbrella, his upright posture was revealed in the rain curtain, and he was indeed like a green bamboo, and he was compelling.
Lilac leaned over and put the food box into the car, and turned around to call Zhu Yan, "Miss Zhu get in the car first, I'll take care of the young lady, I won't accompany you, there will be no mistake with the son." ”
Zhu Yan couldn't resist Yuan Xuanqing's insistence, so he had to smile and nod, gently lift his skirt, and get into the car.
A faint hint of sandalwood immediately hit the placket of the shirt, lingering on the slightly wet broken hair on the sideburns.
"Miss Zhu, the hair on your sideburns is stained with some rain, and the weather is still cold, wipe it." Yuan Xuanqing also came up, smiling and handing over a clean white handkerchief.
Zhu Yan shook his head slowly, and took out his handkerchief from his sleeve, "Childe is kind to Zhu Yan, but my mother is still waiting for me to go back to eat." ”
"I heard that the girl's medical skills were learned from Ling Tang?" Yuan Xuanqing was rejected by Zhu Yan just now, and she also felt that what she did was a little inappropriate, but now she poured two cups of tea, picked up one cup and sipped it gently, and the other cup was only placed on the table and let her take it herself.
"Indeed." Reach out and pick up the round tea cup, letting the warmth on it reach your fingers.
For a long time, she couldn't believe that she had really come to such a strange place. In such a rainy season, it seems that it is easier to trigger dreamy and confused feelings, but the real warmth from her fingers dispelled this thought.
Just being able to accurately tell the cause of bone steaming hot flashes is really a fluke.
I have only been in Chinese medicine for a year, and I know some basic theories, how can I really diagnose and prescribe for people? Fortunately, she has read a lot of medical cases, and she is even more interested in these strange diseases, so she picked up the bargain twice.
Now that I have gone back this time, I just hope to follow Xu Suzhen to recognize medicine and diagnose diseases, and take out some real talents to learn, so that I will not be in vain in my two lives with medical skills.
Outside the gate of Bien Fu, under the high cornices, hang a string of pearl-like raindrops.
Mrs. Bian and Lilac were still standing under the eaves, watching the cart move farther and farther down the smooth bluestone street, until it was completely obscured by the wall at the corner, and then slowly moved in.
"Madam, do you know why Lilac asked Gongzi to send Miss Zhu?" Lilac held an umbrella for Mrs. Bian, and a smile oozed from her eyes.
"What do you mean, that child has taken a fancy to this girl?" Mrs. Bian lowered her voice, after all, she is the son of a big family, would she really be interested in a peasant girl? What's more, Zhu Yan's age is not young.
Lilac nodded, and sighed softly, "Childe is also considered to be Lilac's eldest child, because he has made a baby kiss with the young lady of the master's family, and the old man's discipline has always been strict, and he avoids those young ladies far away on weekdays. ”
"However, she is just a peasant girl, and she is the kind of fate...... "Mrs. Bian also sighed, she felt that with Zhu Yan's appearance, if she was not stumped by fate, at least being a beautiful concubine was a very good way out, not to mention that her medical skills were good, although she was quiet, but she also vaguely revealed strength, if Yuan Xuanqing also liked her, the future life would not be bad.
Lilac chuckled, "The master doesn't believe in that, besides, this kind of thing is common in the capital...... Some people like to use these lives to prevaricate for this and for those who can't marry, I don't know if this Zhu Yan has another hidden secret? ”
