Section 441 Dragon Boat Festival

Zhu Zhongjun quickly took care of it, took a few guards, arranged family affairs, said goodbye to his family and the queen mother, and set off from the capital to control the Taohuaxin along the Yellow River.

After he left, the palace was heavily guarded, and Gu Jinzhi was also relieved.

It's just Yanying, crying every day to find her father.

Gu Jinzhi told him many times that his father was busy with official business and came back a few months later, but Yanying didn't give up and cried non-stop.

Even his master Chen Dingwen couldn't persuade him.

He had to go to his father.

Gu Jinzhi half-squatted down every time, knelt on one knee on the ground, gently hugged Yanying, and patted him on the back until he stopped crying.

After a few times, Yan Ying stopped crying, but asked Gu Jinzhi repeatedly: "Mother, when will Daddy come back, why didn't he take me there?" ”

Gu Jinzhi had to patiently explain to him: "Your father is on official business." I can't take you with me on official business. Wait for your dad to come back and let him take you to play, okay? ”

Yan Ying pursed her little mouth, unhappy.

He actually understood that this was his mother's perfunctory.

Gu Jinzhi took Yanshan and Yanying to find Lin Yi, hoping that Lin Yi could come up with some fresh tricks for the children to play.

Lin Yi is also at a loss.

He was just a Taoist priest and had never raised children.

He felt that Gu Jinzhi was a bit strong.

Finally, he gave the children a little story from Taoism.

Yan Ying gradually listened.

Gu Jinzhi asked Lin Yi to only speak one a day, and the rest of the time, teach Yanshan to practice calligraphy.

"In the past, I taught Yanshan. I was always anxious in my heart, lest people say that he was raised by a woman. You are his father-in-law, and you are better than me. "Gu Jin's way.

Lin Yi gladly accepted.

He was willing to teach Yanshan to write, and he didn't ask why the palace didn't invite a gentleman.

Yan Ying saw that Lin Yi's name was Yanshan, and he was also greedy and wanted to learn.

After studying all morning, he felt that his arm was sore and more tired than practicing martial arts, so he put down his pen. ran to find Chen Dingwen.

However, he went to Lin Yi every day to listen to the story.

By the end of April, the weather is getting warmer and the tulip flowers are blooming, indicating that spring is coming.

On Gu Jinzhi's side, there is no good needlemaster.

And on the mother Song Paner's side, the steward in the needlework room is still Master Cheng, who taught Gu Jinzhi embroidery back then.

Master Cheng has the best skills, and ordinary embroiderers are not as good as her.

Gu Jinzhi ran to ask her mother, "Is your summer shirt ready?" If it's done. Help me make a few sets of ...... over there."

Song Paner smiled: "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival to make summer shirts?" When did you become so lazy? I'm on my side. It's almost time to make an autumn coat. I asked Master Cheng to stop what I was doing for a while. What clothes are you going to make, let the children come and measure them, and I'll help you make them. I still have some cloth ...... from Jiangning last autumn."

Song Paner is very particular about clothes.

Every year, people from Yanling Mansion come up to deliver rents or New Year's goods, and they all bring a boatload of Jiangning's cloth to Song Paner by the way.

This is Song Paner's favorite.

Her clothes. Always ask for the latest cloth, comparable to the new ones in the palace.

"Thank you, mother." Gu Jinzhi hurriedly said, coquettish beside her mother, "In this world, my mother loves me the most." ”

Song Paner laughed and scolded her for slipping her head: "I didn't do this when I was a child." Now that I'm married, I'm like a little girl. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Jinzhi called the children and Lin Yi here to measure their clothes.

Gu Yanzhen happened to be at home.

He heard that Lin Yi was the one who saved the lives of his grandson and daughter. I want to meet Lin Yi immediately.

Gu Jin said: "It's the Mr. Lin who asked our pharmacy back then......

"It's been ** years, where does your father remember?" Song Pan'er helped speak, "What, is that Mr. Lin still afraid of life?" ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled. Said: "Mr. Lin loves purity. ”

"Our house is not clean?" Song Paner asked with her lips back.

Gu Jinzhi couldn't, so he had to ask Lin Yi if he would like to come over as a guest again.

Lin Yi doesn't stick to these.

He came over immediately.

Gu Yanzhen and his wife looked at Lin Yi in a Taoist robe, with hairpin hair, white and handsome face, looking like a humble gentleman, and they all had a good impression of Lin Yi in their hearts.

Lin Yi used to be a sitting gentleman in the Gu family pharmacy, except for his grandfather, eldest brother, Gu Jinzhi and the secretary, others were indeed not familiar with him.

Gu Yanzhen and Song Paner have seen Lin Yi once, and they have long forgotten his appearance.

Now that I see him dignified, I am also relieved.

Song Paner thought to herself that Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun had a bit strange personalities. Okay, get a Taoist priest to be the child's father-in-law......

"Mr. Lin has good medical skills, how did he become a Taoist?" Gu Yanzhen opened his mouth to ask Lin Yi, his tone was kind, like a friend chatting.

Lin Yi also patiently explained: "Poor Dao was originally an outsider. When the master passed away, Poor Dao inherited the mantle of the master......"

He had always been a Taoist, but it wasn't official at that time.

Gu Yanzhen nodded.

He didn't have much research on Taoism, and he didn't understand medicine, so he didn't have anything to say, but said: "I heard that Mr. Lin recently taught Yanshan to read and write? Thank you for your hard work......"

"Yanshan is my righteous son, and this is all within my bounds." Lin Yi said.

He mentioned this with a faint smile on his face.

It can be seen that he likes Yanshan very much.

Song Paner saw Lin Yi's expression in her eyes, and couldn't help but smile slightly. This Mr. Lin likes Yanshan very much.

Whoever likes Song Paner's grandson, Song Paner likes whomever he likes.

She spoke, and Lin Yi was left to eat at the house: "...... Tea and light rice, don't dislike it, sir. ”

They all followed the habit of Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun and called Lin Yi Mr.

Lin Yi glanced at Gu Jinzhi.

Gu Jinzhi nodded at him and asked him to agree.

Lin Yi said: "That's bothering." ”

Song Paner ordered the kitchen to prepare food, and asked Gu Jinzhi to take the children over.

Gu Jin's way is.

The Yanshan brothers soon came as well.

As soon as Yan Ying saw her uncles, she immediately ran away; Yan Shan sat down next to Lin Yi, looking very well-behaved. And Song Paner hugged Yan Shao.

Yan Shao is nineteen months old and can walk and speak.

He just couldn't speak long sentences.

Song Paner taught him that he was a grandmother, and he had learned. Now as long as he coaxes him, he will still call Song Paner's grandmother, which makes Song Paner smile.

The atmosphere at home was lovely.

During the meal, Lin Yi sat down with Gu Yanzhen, Brother Xuan, Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi, Yan Shan, and Yan Ying. Song Pan'er and Gu Jinzhi took Yan Shao and set up a small table behind the screen.

The voice in front of the screen was not high, and Gu Jinzhi and Song Paner could chat.

is about to arrive at the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Jinzhi wants to go back to her parents' house to hide at noon according to the old custom.

"Who are you going to invite to the banquet?" Gu Jinzhi asked her mother.

Many people in Beijing have married from other places, and it is impossible for them to go back to their parents' homes to hide for lunch. Like Song Paner, who is already a grandmother, she no longer cares about these.

But there are still many people she knows who have nowhere to hide.

Gu Jinzhi thought that Song Paner was going to have a banquet.

"What you said reminded me." Song Paner said with a smile. "It's your aunt who runs it every year. I'm going to talk about it this year. Let me do it for a year. Isn't that good? ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled.

Mother was energetic, which was a good thing, she didn't interrupt.

"Sooner rather than later." Gu Jinzhi said to his mother, "If you plan to do it." It's time to prepare in advance, so as not to repeat ......"

Song Pan'er nodded.

*********

After lunch at Gu's house, Gu Jinzhi and the children went back to the palace annex, and Lin Yi also followed them.

Handed over the children to their respective nurses, Gu Jinzhi thought of something, and he was embarrassed to say it to Lin Yi, so he took today's opportunity to mention it to Lin Yi: "You took some of the poppy seed paste we planted back then." Is there still one today? ”

"I have a lot of them." Lin Yi said, "I left seeds, planted a lot for my master's filial piety, and made a lot of paste." Now it's useless, it's all in the hut in front of my master's grave. Do you want to? ”

Gu Jinzhi nodded again and again.

She said, "I'm running out of money, so bring it to me as much as you want." ”

Lin Yi glanced at her and didn't ask anything more in the end.

How did you run out, didn't you say back then, that thing is dangerous?

These words rested in Lin Yi's heart, and he didn't ask them in the end.

He temporarily went back to his master's cemetery, took out the things from the small wooden shed built during the filial piety guard, and turned back to the palace annex.

It took three days to go back and forth.

Gu Jinzhi was very grateful for what he got back.

This is about ten times more than what Gu Jinzhi brought from Luzhou.

All Gu Jinzhi's worries are gone.

She cherished it very much, and locked it in the warehouse herself, waiting for her batch to run out and replace it.

She now has eighty out of ten left.

She was already slowing down the dosage for Tan.

The Tan family was more uncomfortable, and used up the one-month portion sent by Gu Jinzhi in ten days, and asked Gu Jinzhi to send it again.

Gu Jinzhi thought about sending it for another five days, so that she could use it every two days now.

Such a deliberate reduction made Tan feel dissatisfied in his heart, but instead increased the weight,

Gu Jinzhi just wanted her to increase her weight.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, she went to the palace again to deliver medicine.

The Queen Mother called her to Renshou Palace and talked to Gu Jinzhi: "Is it okay for the queen to look at it?" Why did the mourning family see her, getting thinner and thinner? Also yellowed ......"

"The effect of the medicine has passed." Gu Jin said, "If you eat for a long time, the effect of the medicine will drop by fifty percent." Now, as before, it needs to be doubled. But I'm running out of medicine......."

"Then I'd like to get her some more." The Queen Mother said, "She looked good before, and the mourning family was happy to look at it." ”

"It's not easy to get." Gu Jin said, "I need to think of ideas." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and didn't say anything more.

Then, she asked Gu Jinzhi about the child in her belly: "Are you still making trouble?" ”

"It's no longer a fuss." Gu Jinzhi smiled, and then said, "Queen Mother, she can already move, and she kicked me a few times last night." ”

Her child only started kicking Gu Jinzhi a few days ago.

The Queen Mother laughed: "That's a child's liveliness." Then he asked, "How are their brothers, Yanshan?" ”

Gu Jinzhidu said yes.

The Queen Mother asked again, their defense in the house is safe, do they need to send some more guards, Gu Jinzhi refused.

After talking for a long time, the Queen Mother let Gu Jinzhi leave.
