Chapter Seventy-One: Doctor Zhang and Mother Chang
PS: Thank you for the pink ticket of the Jade Maple Fans.
"Mother Chang, I'm leaving." Lin Zhu happily said hello to Chang's mother and got into Steward Zhang's carriage. Steward Zhang has just come back and wants to go to the county seat to buy some things for daily use. By the way, I took Lin Lu to Fushengtang to sell the first batch of wolfberries that had been dried. "Okay, be careful." Chang's mother stood at the door and watched her get into the carriage, her eyes flashing with an unknown meaning, and when the carriage was out of sight, she turned around and walked to the main house.
Chang's mother, who returned to the main house, first looked at Fu Dou'er, and saw that Xiao Baozi was playing well by herself, so she turned around and dressed up again. For a long time, in order to take care of the convenience of the little bun, the three of them have lived in a room, and there is a box in the house that Lin Zhu specially prepared for her, which is the clothes and others that have been added one after another. It's only been a few months now, and it's full of casual clothes.
Chang's mother, who had cleaned up and tidyed up, picked up Fu Dou'er and went out the door to walk out.
After a short walk, she stopped in front of a house, knocked lightly, and someone opened it, and when she entered, it was closed again. There was a sign of Zhang Ji Medical Center hanging at the door.
"Slave maid Chang Shi pays a visit to Lord Zhang." Mother Chang bowed down and saluted Dr. Zhang. "Get up, Mother Chang doesn't have to make this big gift." Doctor Zhang pointed to the chair below, "You can sit, it's not easy to hold the child." "Thank you, sir." Chang's mother was not polite.
"Why are you here?" Doctor Zhang's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked with a straight face. "Aren't you supposed to serve Concubine Lan in the palace?" Dr. Zhang recognized her at a glance at Lin Zhu's house yesterday, he used to be an imperial doctor and often walked in the palace. And Chang's mother is the personal mother of Concubine Lan, who is the most favored by the emperor's side. Although Concubine Lan is now implicated by her family, she has fallen out of favor with the emperor. But the most powerful mother by her side should not appear in this remote mountain village, still by the side of an orphan girl. This had to make Dr. Zhang suspicious.
"Please forgive me. Slaves and maids do have a last resort to live here. "Chang's mother only confessed, but she didn't say her purpose." Do you know that although the old man is old, if he wants to pinch you, it is still effortless. Hearing the threat in Dr. Zhang's words, Chang's mother was a little scared, "Lord Zhang, the slave maid was released by Concubine Lan's mother, and the emperor has already acquiesced." ”
"Did you ask you to find General Chang's grandson?" Dr. Zhang suddenly remembered what happened in Beijing.
At the end of last year. In Beijing, it was revealed that the Dingyuan general Chang Jinpeng was greedy for military salaries, and was impeached by the imperial history, and was convicted and deprived of his title and exiled to northern Xinjiang. All the members of the family have been reduced to commoners, dismissed from slaves, and expelled from the general's palace. didn't succeed, but the inn where they temporarily lived was burned due to the water. At that time, there were countless casualties, and General Chang's family could not escape this catastrophe. General Chang's wife, son, daughter-in-law and grandson were also killed.
General Chang only married one lady in his life, and his heirs were thin. At this time, the death of the whole family shocked the government and the opposition. Some people suspect that General Chang's opponent fell into the ground. However, someone in the court suggested that General Chang was framed, and the people behind the scenes wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so they designed this fire.
The emperor was furious and sent someone to thoroughly investigate the inn's water. But no clues were found. Rumors. In fact, General Chang's grandson was not burned to death in that fire, someone else died. General Chang's grandson, Chang Tianlei, disappeared as early as when General Chang was assigned. So it doesn't matter whether it's open or dark. People from all walks of life are looking for Chang Tianlei.
Concubine Lan in the palace was angry, and she still put the most powerful Chang mother in the name of dereliction of duty. sent out of the palace to let her secretly find Chang Tianlei's whereabouts. This is the only heir of her brother, General Chang, and she is bound to find him.
"Master Zhang, please keep the slave and maid a secret." Chang's mother told Dr. Zhang how to stay here in Lin Zhu. "General Chang has been fighting horses all his life, and he is upright, but he didn't expect to be criticized by the villain and fall to such a point. We have always admired General Gao Yi, although we can't rehabilitate Zhaoxue, we can still keep it a secret, you can rest assured that the old man will not talk about it to outsiders, including the bamboo girl. I just hope you don't get into her. ”
"Lord Xie, please rest assured, the slave will not implicate the girl in the slightest." Chang's mother received an affirmative answer from Dr. Zhang, and bowed down again to thank her.
"Do you need the old man to send someone to help you?" When Dr. Zhang came this time, he still brought some guards with him. "Thank you for your kindness, this matter should not be too public." Mother Chang shook her head, "Niangniang means that if you can find the little master, you will take him to live in seclusion, and then make plans." ”
"Well, Concubine Lan is thoughtful. The old man stopped interfering. Doctor Zhang nodded.
Now that the two sides have spoken, Chang's mother is not restrained, "Master Zhang values Miss Xiaozhu very much. Chang's mother was also very curious about Dr. Zhang's actions yesterday.
"Although this bamboo girl is small, she is very capable. Even watermelons have been grown, and I don't know what will happen in the future. The old man was looking forward to it. As soon as Dr. Zhang came back, he heard about what Lin Zhu had done in the past few months, and the cabbage that Lin Zhu grew last year was so delicious. Compared with ordinary cabbage, it is not a little bit higher, and what worries Dr. Zhang the most is that since eating the cabbage, his body seems to be much lighter, and he thinks that the cabbage has some special effects. So he wanted to take a closer look at what the reason was.
"Miss Xiaozhu is really capable, smart and kind. It's just that there is no parental protection, and even the unique seedling method has been taught, which is really distressing. Chang's mother also expressed her feelings about Lin Zhu. Hehe, she is just protecting herself, not to mention the method of raising seedlings, even the method of planting watermelons, she will not cherish herself. She's smart and won't let herself suffer. Mu Xiu is in the forest, and she understands the truth that the wind will destroy it. ”
I have to say that Dr. Zhang sees people very accurately, and even Lin Zhu's mind is guessed clearly, and Lin Zhu doesn't want to make himself too prominent from beginning to end. Alone in this world, if she is too prominent, she may be coveted by many people, and if she encounters a little powerful, it is easy to trample her underneath. In order not to attract jealousy, you can only adopt the way of being happy alone rather than being happy with everyone.
Chang's mother quickly said goodbye from Dr. Zhang's house, since she had already said it, it would be useless to stay longer, and after asking Dr. Zhang to help take a look at the situation of Fu Dou'er's little buns, she left.
When I got home, I put Fu Dou'er down first, then went to the backyard, poured some water into the black bean's food bowl, and brought it to the outside of the courtyard. Hei Dou'er has been guarding the melon field, and the weather is hot, so she and Lin Zhu have to pour some water outside from time to time. Lin Zhu also built a small shed in the melon field for the black beans to cool off there. Standing at the door of the backyard, I looked at the watermelon field and saw that it was already lush and green. Many small watermelons are hidden under the leaves, and the growth is very gratifying.
The peanut field next to it grows as well as the pepper field, although Chang's mother doesn't know what the use of forest and bamboo planting is, but she is still very satisfied to see this thriving scene.
Chang's mother is ready to cook, Lin Zhu likes to eat dumplings, so she is going to cut some leeks, wrap them with leek egg filling, and then mix a cucumber and stir-fry spinach. She didn't expect that although the dishes grown in the front yard were ordinary, the meals they made were even better than the ones she had eaten in the palace before. And now he will make some digestible supplementary food for Fu Douer, no longer just drinking goat's milk, I didn't expect him to prefer to cook meals instead of goat's milk.
There are a lot of vegetables at home, and Lin Zhu often asks the friends who come to play with her to take some home. Aunt Li's eldest daughter-in-law likes Lin Zhu's dishes even more, and she used to pick them every four or five days, but Lin Zhu said that it was better to eat freshly picked, so she would pick some vegetables every day every day because of Aunt Li, or Ruyu, or Qingqing. Anyway, there are too many dishes at home to eat, and Chang's mother doesn't care very much.
There are too many vegetables, and the excess comes out, neither Chang's mother nor Lin Zhu have thought of selling it, Chang's mother thinks that selling things like a trader does not attach to the identity of a woman. Lin Zhu is just too busy at all. Anyway, there is Aunt Li's family and the helper Li Guihua, and she will be asked to pick some back every day. Lin Zhu is not afraid of not being able to consume it, and besides, there is still space, so he walks around the vegetable field from time to time and collects some space, which is a fresh-keeping tool that is better than the refrigerator.
When Lin Zhu and Steward Zhang arrived at the county seat, the two agreed on the time and acted separately. Lin Zhu first handed over the wolfberries to Fushengtang.
"Miss Xiaozhu, our shopkeeper has been waiting for you for a long time, and today I finally looked forward to you." As soon as the guy Wang Xiaoshun saw Lin Zhu, he immediately stepped forward to greet him, and he didn't look like he looked down on people when Lin Zhu and Aunt Li came the first time. And every time Lin Zhu came over, he took him to find the shopkeeper Wang, and Lin Zhu also knew that this Wang Xiaoshun was a relative of the shopkeeper Wang, and he was apprenticed here, so she and Wang Xiaoshun also became very familiar. "Brother Xiaoshun, just coax me with good words, so that the shopkeeper Wang will not take this little thing in his eyes."
"Who's behind this, isn't it?" The voice of the shopkeeper Wang came from behind Lin Zhu, startling her, "Little bamboo girl's things, when did I not give the highest price, I actually said bad things about me." What do you say? The shopkeeper pretended to be angry and said. Lin Zhu, who was caught, smiled at the shopkeeper Wang's flattery, "How can I say bad things about you, you are busy and hard every day, and I still have to bother you with these little things, which is really unbearable." "I've been in contact with Fushengtang for a long time, and Lin Zhu sometimes jokes with them, because she is still young, so the shopkeeper Wang also let her." In order to show my heart, how about sending you a big watermelon in a few days? ”
In another month, Lin Zhu's watermelon will be ripe, although Dr. Zhang is full of buns, but the rest of the food can still be eaten by herself or given away, so of course the share of Fushengtang who takes care of her very much. (To be continued......)
