Chapter 109: I Finally Found You

Ling Xiao turned around, the words of refusal were on her lips, but Gu Fanshuang did not rush forward, she stood five steps away with a hat and a light green oil-paper umbrella, and it was the little maid who delivered the wine.

The maid said: "Little Hou Ye, this is the plum blossom wine that my girl collected snow water last year and brewed, and buried it in the plum garden for a year. “

Ling Xiao thought for a moment, took the small wine jar, and deliberately said, "Thank you girl, my wife likes to drink, and I will ask for it next time." “

The maid was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted, "Little Hou Ye is polite, if Grandma Ling likes it, it doesn't hurt to send two more altars." “

After speaking, he curtsied and took his leave.

Ling Xiao didn't say much, got in the car and left.

Gu Fanshuang also returned to his car, and couldn't help but say in a daze: "Is Master Ling married?" I haven't heard that the Ling family is holding a wedding banquet. “

"The slave also feels strange." The maid said, "If you have the opportunity to meet the county lord's mother in the future, you will know as soon as you ask." “

Gu Fanshuang nodded lightly, well, and thought in disappointment, Ling Xiao's words clearly rejected him.

She sighed secretly.

The plum blossom brew is indeed very fragrant, and it does not taste the taste of wine in the mouth, but it is more like nectar sweet water.

Yun Xiu roasted the earth dragon and tasted the cool sweet wine. He closed his eyes comfortably and said happily: "Where did you find the novelty, I have drunk peach blossom brew before, it is much sweeter, plum blossom snow water is generally used to cook tea, and there is very little wine." “

"It's just for you to try it," Ling Xiao was calm, not very fond of it, "It's boring, it's better to drink sugar water than to drink it." “

"Flower brewing is not wine, drinking is elegant," Yun Xiu laughed at him for his lack of taste, "Although it is not as good as the tea ceremony and flower arrangement, it can be regarded as leisure and fun." “

Ling Xiao was very disgusted: "You have leisure, you brew." “

Yun Xiu glanced at him: "You don't like to drink." I brewed it and no one enjoyed it, it wasn't fun. “

"You can drink and play by yourself, and you can send Yun Ying." Ling Xiao said, "I think you like it a lot." “

"It's okay to drink it occasionally, but it's also greasy if you drink too much." Yun Xiu thought about it, "I'm busy with the back house all day long, and when Brother Huan is older, he can walk and run, and he can't do without people, how can I have time to make flowers." “

Ling Xiao touched his hair, "Yes, I'll talk about it when you're free, it's not troublesome anyway." “

Yun Xiu said yes.

In the evening, it began to rain again, and Yun Xiu went to Westinghouse to make sure that the quilt was thickened. He didn't freeze the child before returning to the East House and lying down with Ling Xiao.

The curtain of the bed was lowered and became a small independent space, isolated from the hustle and bustle.

"Xiuxiu, tell you something." With the previous lesson, Ling Xiao hurried to explain when Yun Xiu was in a good mood and in good health, "Today I went to Changchun Garden and met someone." “

"Who?" Yun Xiu guessed, "I'll give you plum blossom stuffing?" “

Ling Xiao laughed: "How do you know? “

Yun Xiu leaned in front of him and said proudly: "Not only do I know, but it's a girl who delivers the wine, isn't it?" “

Ling Xiao looked at her with some surprise: "Since you know it in your heart, why don't you ask me?" “

"What do you ask?" Yun Xiu stroked his chest and tapped lightly, "Mother-in-law is in Changchun Garden, isn't it normal for guests to move around, you send Qin Qingsu away without saying a word, it can be seen that it is enough for you to have me in your heart." “

Ling Xiaosong was a little faster: "As long as you don't think about it, I'll be relieved." “

You can't think about it, but don't try to get by.

Yun Xiu asked: "Who is taking a fancy to my father-in-law, I have to know." “

"What do you mean by looking, it's ugly." Ling Xiao hugged the person into his arms, "The Gu family, we played together when we were children, and I didn't meet this person by chance today." “

"Gu family girl? What is it called? “

"Gu Fanshuang."

Yun Xiu sighed, didn't speak again, and always felt that where had he heard this name, the previous life or the present life, and it was confusing.

In her previous life, the old lady was sick in Yangzhou and buried in Yangzhou.

And after Xie Zongren gained a firm foothold in Yanjing, he didn't like Yun Xiu's frequent contact with the female dependents of the official family, and the news was closed.

The fewer people who know about officialdom, the better, and I am worried that when the county lord chats with other ladies, he has no intention of confiding in.

But she is not the lord of Pingkang, Yun Xiu thought, for Xie Zongren's career, she secretly took how much silver money she took in the old lady's hand, and how much dowry she lost, I can't remember.

In the end, Xie Zongren took her off on the grounds of "unfilial piety and three nos".

At that time, not far from her death, Yun Xiu still remembers how to kneel in the study and cry and beg Xie Zongren.

She said: "It's not that I can't give birth, it's that you said that we have no relatives in Yanjing, and we should start a business first, I think it's right, my mother-in-law is not in good health, and I will raise it in Huaibei, I will help you take care of the back house, and when your momentum is stable, it is not too late to have children." “

Xie Zongren didn't leave her any affection, and sneered: "You can give birth, why does the doctor say that you are fundamentally injured?" I'm not at home during the day, what do you do alone, eat badly? “

"I didn't do anything," Yun Xiu was eager to argue, "Maybe because of drinking the avoidance soup, I've stopped for half a year, now recuperate, Zongren, don't abandon me, wait a little longer, okay?" “

Xie Zongren said no, and threw the book in front of her, and within a few days, Chunlan entered the door with a five-month-old belly.

Yun Xiu secretly thought that she really couldn't give birth.

In this life, Brother Huan is the best proof.

Ling Xiao saw that she was preoccupied, and called "Xiu Xiu" twice.

Yun Xiu pulled back her thoughts and looked up at him, "What's wrong?" “

"What do you think, so obsessed?" Ling Xiao thought she was unhappy again, "I made it clear to Gu Fanshuang, she is not two-eyed, she must understand what I mean." “

"Got it, I don't mind."

Yun Xiu looked at the handsome face in front of her, thinking that the Yun family had offended the Ling family in her previous life, and she had never intersected with Ling Xiao after entering Beijing, what was the situation of the Ling family at that time? ?

"You still don't mind?" Ling Xiao was furious by her, and hugged her in her arms and coaxed, "Daughter-in-law, it's just one side, the girl is still wearing a hat, and she doesn't see what she looks like, don't think nonsense." “

Yun Xiu suddenly lost the interest in chatting: "Sleep, I'm tired." “

After a few days of freezing rain, the weather was gloomy, and in the afternoon the house was lit up.

She doesn't like dark and dark places, and it always reminds people of bad experiences.

"Chunliu, prepare the car, go to Jiu'an Hall." Yun Xiu suddenly got up and changed his clothes, wanting to find someone to talk to.

When she went, An Entong was picking out medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and saw someone open the curtain, thinking that it was a patient, and said softly: "This is a pharmacy important place, please wait in the lobby for a while." “

Yun Xiu was stunned and said with a smile: "I'll wait for Dr. An to finish his work and come back." “

"Yes, ma'am. Come in. An Entong hurriedly patted the medicine residue on his hand, and walked over quickly, a little at a loss, "The patient goes to the wrong door, it often happens, sit, sit, there is only a second-class red robe in the room, is the lady used to drinking?" Otherwise, I'll have refreshments in the front hall. “

Yun Xiu found that the tips of his ears were red, so he found a chair to sit down at random, and said in a calm tone: "You're welcome, you're busy with you, I just want to find someone to talk about my hometown, don't bother you." “

"Don't bother, don't bother." An Entong pointed to all kinds of medicinal herbs on the big wooden table, "I'm on vacation today, and I'm idle when I'm idle, so I'll help the teacher do some work." “

The pharmacy was filled with a pungent and sweet fragrance of medicinal herbs, and his impetuous thoughts quickly calmed down, Yun Xiu looked at the names of various medicinal herbs on the cabinet, turned his gaze, and asked, "There are so many types, can you sort them all by yourself?" “

"Medicinal herbs are also divided into seasons." An Entong patiently explained, "Every time a batch comes, practice makes perfect, and even the apprentice's buddies can do it." “

Yun Xiu sighed, "Why are you alone today, and you don't have a helper?" “

"The last time Madame came, she was also alone," An Entong smiled, "I like to be alone, and there are too many people but chaos." “

"Dr. An is a quiet and elegant person." Yun Xiu shook his head self-deprecatingly, "It's not like me, everything is a mess. “

An Entong explained her: "Madame's heart is not quiet, so naturally she can't figure it out." “

"How can I be calm," Yun Xiu sighed, "My mother-in-law is dissatisfied with me, and there is always a peach blossom relationship around my husband, and I sometimes reflect on myself, whether I chose the wrong one in the first place." “

"I asked Mrs. if she regretted it, and Mrs. replied that she didn't regret it." An Entong said unhurriedly, "There are many troubles in the world, just don't forget your original intention." “

"Dr. Ann. If you can see it, why do you still come to Yanjing? Yun Xiu tilted his head to look at him, "I heard that the Ye family plans to let you become a teacher and take charge of the pharmacy independently in Yangzhou, it's a pity to let such a good opportunity go." “

"Where did Madame hear that?" An Entong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled, "Everyone has obsessions, Madame has them, and there are them below." “

It was like saying it to him, and it was like saying it to her.

Yun Xiu: "Doctor An, have you ever thought about letting go of your obsession one day?" “

An Entong shook his head: "In the next one, I always come as I like, and I don't know if I let go of it one day, so why force myself." “

"It's so easy," Yun Xiu smiled in his eyes, "I envy Dr. An's ease." “

Ann returned the salute, "Madame praises falsely." “

"You're a good son-in-law." Yun Xiu lowered her eyes and carefully groped for the Su embroidery on the silk handkerchief, "The girl who marries you must be a good person." “

Who made her insist on following Ling Xiao in vain the old lady's hard work.

Eat what you grow.

"Madame, don't make fun of me," An Entong sighed, "It's very boring on weekdays, except for books, I don't know how to be ingenious, and it's really embarrassing to see Madame run away from the desert for the first time." “

"yes, why did you run at that time?" Yun Xiu never figured it out, "I'm not a jackal, tiger and leopard. “

"Just, just??" Not only did An Entong's tongue tie knots, red from his neck to the base of his ears, "Yes." I don't know under either. “

"It seems that Dr. An is not a boring person," Yun Xiu teased him, "Not many people can do this kind of thing when they run away from the wilderness." “

"Disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful?" An En was poor in the same words and was defeated, "Madam, what do you say, what to do, and admit punishment under the order." “

"Why should I punish you," Yun Xiu couldn't laugh or cry, "It's just a joke, do you really want to take it to heart?" “

"So I'm a boring person." An Entong remembered that he didn't pour tea for people while correcting, so he hurriedly got up, and knocked over the dustpan of the dried medicine, and the "bang" sounded, and the medicinal herbs were sprinkled all over the ground.

Yun Xiu didn't hold back at the moment, and helped while laughing, "Doctor An, be careful." “

"Madame, don't meddle," Entong turned to get his broom, blushing widely, "come down to yourself." “

"You really don't want me to help?" Yun Xiu saw him sweeping the floor clumsily, and called Chunliu in, "Leave me to call the girl for the rough work, you have to wash your hands if they are dirty, it's freezing outside, who will give you hot water." “

"Mrs. Xie is compassionate." An Entong probably can't do anything other than studying medicine, and honestly hand over the broom to Chunliu.

Chunliu smiled secretly and didn't forget to quip: "Doctor An, hurry up and find a daughter-in-law to take care of." “

An Entong suddenly turned red again.

Yun Xiu relieved him of the siege: "Chunliu, don't talk nonsense." “

An Entong said embarrassedly: "No, don't worry, I'll pour tea for Mrs." “

Chunliu hurriedly stopped: "Doctor An, wait for the slave to come, don't burn it." “

As soon as the words fell, An Entong scalded his fingers by the splashed boiling water, shook his hands, looked around for cold water, and didn't find it for a long time, so he simply stretched out his hand outside the door curtain to blow the cold wind.

Chunliu was about to faint with laughter at the moment.

Yun Xiu glared at her: "What are you laughing at, hurry up and go to the front hall to get the scald cream." “

When Chunliu went out, she was still laughing.

Yun Xiu pulled An Entong to the charcoal basin in the house and asked where it was hot?

An Entong put away his five fingers and said it was okay.

"Show me!" Yun Xiu unconsciously took out Brother Xunhuan's tone, frowned and said, "Uncles, twist and pinch." “

An Entong was stunned, let go of his hand, raised his hot red index knuckle, and said with a dry smile, "It's not blistering, don't worry about madam." “

It doesn't seem to be serious, Yun Xiu sighed, "When you're out and about, be more careful." “

"Madame is taught." An Entong felt that he was quite useless, "I can't even pour tea." “

"It's all trivial." Yun Xiu comforted him, "Doctor An is proficient in medical skills, if he reaches the age of Imperial Doctor Ye, it will be amazing. “

"That's all there is to it." An Entong said frustratedly, "Madame just said that whoever marries me is blessed, and it is useless to be a scholar, and he has self-knowledge below." “

"It's not like what you say." Yun Xiu poured two cups of tea, "Practicing medicine and curing diseases, saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, if you want to say that you can do a good deed every day, only a doctor can do it." “

An En thanked him in the same way, held the cup, lowered his head and blew, and took a sip of hot tea to warm his heart and body.

Chunliu brought burn cream, but he didn't bother others to do it.

Yun Xiu saw that it was almost dark outside, so she got up and said goodbye.

"Madame, walk slowly." An Entong was lost for a moment, grabbed two items from the selected medicinal materials, and wrapped them in kraft paper, "Cooked land, angelica, nourishing qi and blood, women's winter tonic is excellent." “

Yun Xiu called Chunliu to take it and nodded in greeting, "Thank you Dr. An for your kindness, please stay." “

When she went back, she had just gotten out of the car at the Hanging Flower Gate, and a car followed closely behind, and Ling Xiao got out of the car.

"Where?" He ran a few steps in the rain and stood in the verandah, staring at the medicine bag in displeasure, "Uncomfortable again?" “

Yun Xiu subconsciously blocked his sight, "It's not uncomfortable, it's all tonic medicinal materials, and it's disease-free." “

Chunliu smeared oil on the soles of her feet, wanted to slip away, and was stopped.

"Wait a minute, show me the medicine bag."

Chunliu didn't have a clue, and handed it over with both hands, "Little Hou Ye, please." “

The kraft paper of Jiu'an Hall is stamped with a red square seal as a logo.

Ling Xiao's gaze fell on Fang Yin for a long time, and then looked at Yun Xiu deeply, and he threw the medicine bag out of the hanging flower door, and the medicine bag rolled in the puddle a few times, and finally stopped under the root of the wall, full of mud.

Chunliu was stupid for a while, and she didn't know whether she should pick it up or not.

Yun Xiu didn't expect Ling Xiao to throw things, and deliberately said to Chunliu in Yangzhou dialect, "Wait for you to take a look, if the medicinal materials are not wet, take them to the small kitchen, and forget it when they are wet." “

"What did she say?" Ling Xiao looked at Chunliu with a cold face, "You say." “

Chunliu cried and stammered, "Big, grandma said??"

"What do you say?!" Ling Xiao whipped her, and Chunliu suddenly screamed.

"What are you hitting her for?! What did she do wrong! Yun Xiu pulled Chunliu behind her, "I want her to go and see if the herbs are wet, is there anything wrong?" “

Ling Xiao squeezed out from between his teeth word by word: "Cheng!" Last time I let you go, you didn't count in your heart, don't blame me today. “

As he spoke, he vigorously grabbed Yun Xiu's wrist and walked to the backyard.

Yun Xiu was dragged into the inner room, and then her eyes darkened, Ling Xiao's cloak covered her head, and then she heard the tearing sound of the polyester belt around her waist.

Her legs were pinned, and her wrists were tied behind her back.

"Ling Xiao, do you dare??"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp stabbing pain came from the bottom up.

Westinghouse, the nurse accompanied Brother Huan to play with the rattle, the rhythmic knock sound was like a wake-up, Yun Xiu desperately held back a word, until Ling Xiao lifted the cloak and let go of her.

Ling Xiao saw the bloodshot on her lips, frowned, and wanted to reach out to wipe it, but was dodged.

"Relieving your anger? Satisfied? Yun Xiu took off her crumpled coat, covered her legs with a small quilt, and broke the jar, "Your mother thinks I'm not a famous lady, you are indiscriminately angry with me, it's better for us to take a step back, if the mother-in-law is satisfied with the Gu family girl, bring it in, she will serve you, and I will take my son." “

Ling Xiao frowned, didn't speak, put on his pants, and found that Yun Xiu was walking wrong when he was staying.

He pulled the man over, sat on his lap, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Did it hurt you?" “

"Nope." She pushed him away. Take two steps forward and ask for bath water.

The hot water was thick, and Chunliu waited to rub her back, seeing that Yun Xiu closed her eyes and didn't say anything, she didn't dare to speak.

At dinner, Ling Xiao showed that he would pick up the dishes and was set aside.

He talked to her, but she ignored her.

In the middle of the night, Ling Xiao took the medicine to smear her, Yun Xiu got up and went to the West House, and slept with Brother Huan.

After raising it in the house for two days, it didn't hurt too much, so he handed over the work of the account room to the front yard steward, and learned from the lord of Pingkang County to start asking people to drink tea, listen to plays, and touch cards.

Ling Xiao came back at noon for three consecutive days. Yun Xiu was not there, and Chunliu was not there, so Brother Huan and the nurse made a noise in the West House.

Since knowing Gu Fanshuang, Yun Xiu inquired in the Beijing circle intentionally or unintentionally.

The little ladies sit together and eat melon seeds and chat, there is always something good.

"The Gu family was not good in the early years, but God favored it, a little prodigy, and it was passed on to the gods, and then he entered the palace to try it out, and became the first emperor to accompany him, so he has today's momentum."

"You said the Gu family, I know that the eight girls of his family are twenty unmarried, and the old girl among the old girls once had a fortune teller say that the plum blossom fairy went down to earth. I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, she is a plum blossom, and I am a peony flower! “

The crowd burst into laughter.

Yun Xiu also smiled on his face: "Ouch, look at your sharp mouths, all of them are damaged." “

Someone else said sourly: "Gu Fanshuang is very tall, don't say that you are a peony flower, you are gilt inlay, and I don't take a look at you." “

"Scholarly family, it is inevitable to be self-assured." Yun Xiu played a round game, "Okay, okay, the play is about to start, I like the famous characters the most today, with a tone and tone." “

So the topic shifted from the Gu family to the famous corner.

A scene came to an end, and the little lady sitting next to Yunxiu belched: "This singer in Tsing Yi, I look familiar." “

As she spoke, she asked the other side, "Is it him who Chengzi invited to the palace garden to sing in Lidong?" “

Yun Xiu listened curiously: "What is Lidong so particular, why do you still invite the outside troupe?" “

"I don't pay attention to it, my grandfather said that the tenth princess got married, and went back to the palace with the concubine to set the province for the queen mother, and ordered to listen to the famous horns."

"The tenth princess is married?" Yun Xiu was puzzled, "My mother-in-law never mentioned it, who did she marry?" “

"It's nothing if your county lord's mother-in-law doesn't know," the other party said, "Marry, what is the husband's surname, what is the surname, I want to think about it." “

"Thank you." He interjected quickly, "I heard that the original Ministry of Industry in the family inherited his father's business, and eighty percent of them also stayed in the Ministry of Industry." “

When he heard the words "Xie Yuma", Yun Xiu's first thought was Xie Zongren.

This man really has the ability, he fell into the water, cheated to death, quietly hooked up with the princess, and the son of the down-and-out official eunuch turned into a horse master.

Yun Shu's big game of chess is really exciting.

Yun Xiu thought coldly, the sick seedling died fortunately.

At the end of the opera, it was almost dawn, it was not raining, it was still cloudy, and it looked no different from the evening.

The opera garden is located in a bustling street, with bright lights on both sides, and bluestone slabs and bricks washed clean by rainwater. The light should be clearly visible on the lower surface texture.

The car ran over, and with the speed of galloping, it rushed in front of Yun Xiu, frightening her to scream.

"Ouch! Hurry up to reincarnate! Chunliu scolded and asked Yun Xiu if he was hurt.

Yun Xiu shook her head, she hurried home, she didn't have time to care, and stepped on the stool to get into her car.

The charcoal basin in the car was burning well, and she felt the heat and took off her cloak, and suddenly heard someone talking outside the car.

"The wheels just slipped and almost hit Mrs., my family is very sorry, the little one came to compensate, and asked Mrs. Can I hurt it?"

"My wife is fine," Chunliu lifted the curtain. He replied, "The road is slippery, so please be careful when driving." “

The little guy said yes and bowed his hand.

Yun Xiu felt that it was better to have more than one thing, and urged Chunliu, "Forget it, let's go, Brother Huan'er will wait for me to go back." “

Chunliu responded and said to the coachman to go home.

The carriage went forward, and when it passed the corner, another carriage was parked opposite, and the little man ran over and replied respectfully.

The people in the car lifted the curtain and looked out, and the front and rear of the Ling family's carriage each hung a delicately carved angular lamp with the word "Ling".

"Husband, have you met an acquaintance?" A sweet voice sounded, "Do you want to get out of the car and say hello?" I was also shocked. “

"No, the people are gone." Lowering the curtain, the handsome face raised a soft smile, "You are tired for a day, squint, when you get to the princess's mansion, I will call you." “

The other party smiled and threw himself into his arms, "Zongren, you don't look like a man in the north at all." “

"Really?" Xie Zongren deliberately lowered his voice, "There is an old man who said the same thing to His Royal Highness. “

The tenth princess pouted unhappily, "I don't like you to call me Your Royal Highness, why don't you call me Wan'er." “

"Because Wan'er is the little highness, and the little highness is Wan'er." Xie Zongren laid out the spacious couch and asked her to lie down, but he thought in his heart that he didn't want to call the tenth princess by her name, because another name occupied her heart.

The tenth princess had to hold his hand to sleep, Xie Zongren complied, and when the other party fell asleep, he withdrew his hand without hesitation.

Knowing that he couldn't see it anymore, he still picked up the gap between two fingers of the curtain and looked out, thinking with a little anticipation and excitement--

Xiu'er, I've finally found you.

??

At the same time, when Yun Xiu entered the house, the food had been placed on the kang table, and Ling Xiao didn't move her chopsticks, obviously waiting for her to eat together.

She didn't hesitate, changed her clothes, went to the West House and hugged Brother Huan'er, then came over and sat down, and said sarcastically: "Xie Zongren has come to Beijing and become the tenth princess's concubine, which is really gratifying." “

Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, and scolded nonsense: "Xie Zongren fell into the water and died for a year, and he returned to his soul to be a concubine." “

"I don't know," Yun Xiu shrugged, "I heard today, the surname is Xie, the family is from the Ministry of Industry, except for Xie Zongren, I can't think of anyone else, maybe I made a mistake, anyway, I didn't see the deity." “

"It's not hard to find out." Ling Xiao said, "I'll ask Qi Yuheng tomorrow for a question." “
