Chapter 226: Who Pays for the Kindness of the Three Springs [2]
"Girl? Girl! Seeing Zhu Yan sipping her tea, Bai Ping gently nudged her, "What is the girl thinking?" Tell me, what about Miss Qi? ”
"My mother has experienced a lot of things, and her vision is very accurate, so she will do what she says." Zhu Yan flickered, and raised his chin worriedly, "But Ah Qi went to Beijing......"
Bai Ping was not worried at all, "Aunt Silk Zhen has a title deed in Beijing, which is said to be a shop on Suzaku Street, and she has sent a few little brothers to arrange it there, preparing to open a pharmacy shop as well, Mingzi is a little shopkeeper, and he will go to Beijing with us in a few days." ”
Zhu Yan rubbed her forehead, her mother was really hidden, and there was even a shop in Beijing, thinking that her fourth lady Zhu was quite majestic back then.
Liu Zixin suddenly turned back, his face was very embarrassed, "Girl, that Yang ghost is crying wolf and coming here, someone has already stopped her, but I'm afraid I still have to bother the girl to take a look." ”
“…… Okay, I know, first invite my aunt back to the main hall to sit down, and I'll come later. Zhu Yan drank some tea to refresh herself, instructed Apple to put her hair back together, and slowly got up and went to the main hall.
The wooden bridge across the lake took her half an hour.
The wooden bridge is all built by mortise and tenon joints, only a few casual joints prescription have thin bamboo nails stored in zài, the openwork on the bridge is chic and freehand, quite the beauty of flowing water, if it is not for the fact that there is a Yang in the hall, she feels that she can stay on the bridge for half a day to see the scenery.
The courtyard is also newly furnished, except for the grapefruit tree. Hardly any of the same details can be found.
The main hall is simple and elegant, and the scroll painting hanging in the hall is still the green bamboo she painted in early spring. On a hot summer day, it adds a lot of coolness.
The moonlight veil hanging next to the flower drain, the light ice blue and the heavy reddish-brown wood are just right, which shows that the person who arranged this arrangement knows how to design aesthetically.
The only thing that spoils the mood is the woman in a glamorous dress sitting at the bottom of the right side, the short blue shirt accompanied by a bright red gauze skirt, if it is a gorgeous girl with white skin as snow, she may be able to suppress this color, but for the Yang family, who is nearly middle-aged. It's too gaudy.
Not to mention that she was still holding a crumpled handkerchief in her hand, wiping the crying fat powder on her face without a match, and she looked like a clown.
The pitch-black cat was hiding under the porch to cool off. Seeing Zhu Yan approaching, she jumped up happily, her sharp little claws hooked the corners of her skirt, and she crawled into her arms.
"This little thing. Aren't you afraid of the heat? Apple laughed and tapped the cat on the head. Ignoring the Yang clan who was sitting inside, he just turned around and instructed a few young people, "You still don't go to carry the ice basin, if the heat spoils the girl, how can you afford it?" ”
“…… Where does the ice come from? Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows, there is no refrigerator at this time, and the precious object of ice cubes is afraid that only the wealthy can afford it. Don't want Xu Silk Zhen to even get this?
"Aunt Silk Zhen has sent people to dig several cellars!" Apple snapped her fingers, like a treasure. "One is an ice cellar, and the other three or four are wine cellars and vinegar cellars."
Zhu Yan was already a little numb when she heard it, and she probably wouldn't be surprised if Xu Suzhen did anything staggering.
It turns out that such a capable person is by her side, so what was she working tirelessly to see people and open a shop?
However, she didn't think that if it weren't for the fact that she was so desperate to change her difficult life at that time, Xu Suzhen would not have changed her mind, from blindly sheltering her to supporting what she did, paving a way out for her.
Yang was still crying, a cotton handkerchief was rubbed and twisted, wrinkled miserably, she watched the steaming ice basin being lifted up, and the coolness also entered her heart little by little.
Whether it is this Zhu Yan or her sister-in-law Xu Shi Zhenzhen, she is no longer the person who was originally rubbed by her.
She used to laugh at her sister-in-law for flying up the branches and becoming the wife of the big clan in Beijing, and in the end she would inevitably fall back into the embarrassment of the mud, but she forgot that even the birds and birds that fell back into the mud had at least drunk the cleanest dew on the branches, after all, they were different from them peasant women.
As for Zhu Yan, she was originally a noble girl in Beijing, if she changed her previous weakness and sorrow, and took out some to send her, no one would be able to insult her - not to mention that her uncles were still wealthy businessmen in Beijing, although they no longer entered the official career, their family was not in decline.
Their mother and daughter flew back to the high-profile high branches, so the laughing stock of the Xu family was left with only their long house.
Her husband, who only knows how to spend time and drink, has long been taken away from the inheritance of the family business by her father-in-law, and the son who does not know how to make progress is not enough to rely on, only the two daughters are still somewhat beautiful, expecting them to marry a good family, but the eldest daughter is close to the marriage and actually falls ill.
Daughter Xingfang's illness came fiercely, watching her sick as much as death, delaying a few doctors and all of them were ineffective, just when she was begging Xu Zhao, she heard that Zhu Yan was going to return from Lingnan, thinking that she was known as a doctor and had a good heart, and she might be able to save her daughter regardless of her previous suspicions, so she hurried over.
By the time she got here, she was already crazy.
The camphor grove enclosed an area of two or three hundred acres, and apart from the large fields was the house which had been so beautifully renovated that she almost suspected that she had gone down the wrong path, and had entered the business of a wealthy merchant—and I had heard that even the grange under the hand of the young lady was not so large.
I knew that my sister-in-law Xu was so good at it, so I shouldn't have begged for the money they owed early, if I came now, I could cheat a lot of money.
Zhu Yan sat down on the left side with the cat in his arms, half of his cheek was hidden in the cold air rising from the ice basin, and smiled leisurely, "I heard that my eldest aunt came to seek medical treatment, and my niece was terrified. ”
Yang is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu Mansion, and she has some insight in her heart, seeing that she is so formal, she thinks it is necessary to put on a show, so she hurriedly stopped her tears and got up, made a formal salute, and persuaded her with a smile, "The girl is kind-hearted, save your cousin." ”
Zhu Yan still smiled, reached out and stroked the black fur of the cat in his hand, and sighed lowly, "Who would have thought that my aunt would cry so sadly now, and there were times when she was bitter and mean in the past, and it seemed that she had come here again and again to embarrass her niece, and this time I heard that you were here, which really made Zhu Yan very frightened." ”
"Cough, Ah Yan is really ...... outside" Yang raised his head, his eyes lowered and fell on the black cat she was holding, thinking that Xingfang was sick to death, it was better to be happy than this beast, and he couldn't help but be angry, "Since you call me 'aunt', you also need to know that you respect your elders, I have given you enough face this time, why don't you go and treat my daughter quickly?!"
