Chapter 64: The Soul [5]
Zhu Yan heard her mention this matter, blinked and listened intently.
"Girl, do you remember the day I asked you if you could check your pulse?" Bai Apple's tone softened a little, and he lowered his head and took a sip of tea.
“…… You knew at that time that Xu Xingfang would let me check the pulse? Zhu Yan held her chin and frowned slightly, before she entered the house that day, Bai Ping asked her if she would diagnose her pulse, and mentioned that Xu Yuqing would get married next month.
Later, Xu Xingfang really led the topic to Xu Xingqing in a few words, and asked Zhu Yan to diagnose Xu Xingqing's pulse, which should be Zhu Yan said that Xu Xingqing was happy without knowing it - it's a pity that Xu Xingfang was one step behind, and Zhu Yan reacted quickly, and immediately thought of Bai Apple's question, so he gently covered up the past.
Could it be that the Yang family and the two daughters knew that Bai Apple was hindering them, so they wanted to kill her to vent their hatred?
"Miss and Jing Gongzi are both people who talk about marriage anyway, and there is no need to be so formal, the Yang family heard a word, and first went to find the lord and Mrs., saying that this is not a loss of the reputation of the Xu family, and they will never be able to marry." Bai Yu pursed her lips and covered her lips and chuckled, "But Madam is not easy to get along with, she sent her away in a few words, she naturally did not give up, and wanted to make a fuss during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
Zhu Yan basically understood, and thought for a moment, "What is she doing this for?" ”
Bai Apple moved to her side in a blink of an eye, and lowered her voice a little, "I heard Madame and Miss talk about that the girl was seriously ill before, and she woke up with something that she couldn't remember clearly?" ”
"Let's just put it that way." Seeing that she was just asking ordinarily, Zhu Yan didn't mean to doubt it, so she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's about a fever when I burned up." ”
"I think the girl is burning." Bai Yu seemed to be quite emotional, "The girl probably doesn't remember, this old man is the most capable loser, fortunately, the old lady was wise when he was alive, and gave our Xu family's family business to the second master, so that we can have today's situation." ”
Zhu Yan nodded silently, the Xu family has such a mansion in Bailang Town, and the people who can support a large family without entering the government or in business must have a lot of business in the family, and just by virtue of the Dragon Boat Festival, so many people with different identities can be invited to the house, presumably the second master's communication skills are also excellent.
"Madame is also a talented person, but I heard that I fled that year, and I was seriously ill and injured on the way, and I have never been pregnant again...... Several aunts also gave birth to daughters, and there was no one to inherit the inheritance of this house. Bai Ping talked about the matter of the inner house, and talked to Zhu Yan about the prescription of the disease, "The big house can get a lot of property every year, and it can be regarded as being able to live without worrying about food and clothing, but you see that the Yang family is content, and he has already seen the master's property and wants to take it away." ”
Zhu Yan was still silent, got up leisurely and pulled out the ashes in the incense burner, grabbed a handful of mint leaves from his purse and put them in, and the curling green smoke rose from the porcelain lid with a refreshing breath, with the bamboo shadow outside, adding a bit of elegance.
"The girl is really elegant here, it looks like the master's study." Bai Ping looked sideways at the table full of medical books and pen, ink, paper and inkstone for writing prescriptions under the window, and couldn't help but nod in praise.
Zhu Yan glanced at her with a smile, "Bai Ping, don't make fun of me, the Yang family wants to take away this property, what does it have to do with Cousin Qing?" ”
"That's the case, because of Jing Gongzi's special status, although he has a lot of property, he is willing to recruit into the Xu family." Bai Yu shook his head, his expression was embarrassed, "Although the old lady treats people very well, but looking at the way Jing Gongzi looks, he is really wronged." ”
"Bai Apple doesn't know the identities of Miss Shu and Jing Gongzi?" Zhu Yan turned her head and stared straight at the look in her eyes, she was basically sure that Shu and Jing were the relics of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it was better, but if Jing's preservation was discovered by the current dynasty, I was afraid that it would be really difficult - who would want to keep a prince of the previous dynasty as a trouble?
Although the Xu family is a former courtier, they have withdrawn from the officialdom before the country is broken, even if they are not convinced, they can't catch any mistakes on the surface, and Jing hiding in the Xu family is an excellent means to save his life.
Bai Yu smiled slightly and blinked, "How can a maid discuss these things?" In short, when the Yang family saw that the family business that was about to be in hand had flown again, they tried their best to make the young lady unable to marry Jing Gongzi, but she was caught in the wrong place again, so she took the risk. ”
"Then why did she poison you?" Zhu Yan still didn't understand Yang's motives for poisoning, Bai Ping was just a maid, even if she was poisoned, it would not have any impact on Xu Yuqing's marriage.
Bai Ping flattened his mouth and said hatefully: "I didn't answer the Yang family's words, and scolded her well, she must have a grudge in her heart." Besides, although I am not Miss's personal servant, I am also close to her and poisoned me, which can be regarded as a warning to Miss, and she may have a follow-up move. ”
Zhu Yan listened to her analysis and nodded slowly, I have to say that in the intrigue of these inner houses, she was like seeing those algebra problems in the past, and she was dizzy in less than half a moment.
"And what are you going to do now?"
"Bai Apple is now the girl's maid, so naturally everything is arranged by the girl." Bai Yu stood up and bowed to Zhu Yan Yingying.
Zhu Yan hurriedly grabbed her, "Miss Baiping, I'm just an ordinary peasant girl, how can I afford to have a maid?" ”
"The girl still has the grace to save my life, no matter what, Bai Apple will definitely worship today." Bai Yu stubbornly refused, Zhu Yan's body was weak after all, where could he earn her, so he had to kneel on the ground with her.
After a stalemate for a while, Zhu Yan gave up first, "...... Forget it, presumably it is not easy for you to go back to the Xu Mansion, but it is safer to stay with me. Bai Apple, you don't have to be so polite, I will call you sister in the future, what do you think? ”
"Girl, this is not good, Aunt Silk Zhen is also the young lady of the Xu family, you are the daughter of Aunt Silk Zhen, living in this kind of place is already very wronged, what is wrong with adding a maid?" Bai Apple pulled her sleeve, still refusing. Although Xu Suzhen is just an adopted daughter in Xufu, and her husband's family died desperately, she is polite and respectful, even if she is poor and difficult, she still refuses to ask for help from the house, so the people in Xufu respect her very much.
Zhu Yan smiled helplessly, "I'm used to doing things myself, why do I need others to serve me?" Seeing that Bai Apple pursed her lips and looked unwilling to give up, she hurriedly added, "But I have the heart to make this medicine famous, and there is a lack of helper by my side, is Bai Apple willing?" ”
Bai Ping saw that Zhu Yan's temperament was different from others, and she was quite fond of her, and she was determined to stay by her side, but now that the peak was turning, how could she not agree, and nodded hurriedly, "Bai Apple is willing to make cows and horses for the girl!" ”
