Chapter 04 Chang'an - The deeper the affliction

Across the alley from Qin's Mansion is Prime Minister Yin's Mansion, a few years ago, the husband and wife helped Yin Wenjiao solve some troubles, and they didn't come to Prime Minister's Mansion at that time.

After the matter was settled, Prime Minister Yin's family was very grateful to the husband and wife, and would always send someone to send them some things over during the New Year's Festival.

Mrs. Yin's health is not very good, and Xiaozhen often sends her some medicinal herbs, and she has become a very good friend.

Hearing that the husband and wife were visiting, Prime Minister Yin hurried to the main hall to greet him.

"I've seen the prime minister."

"The second is a kindness to our family, and this great gift will break me."

"Where does the prime minister say, the prime minister works for state affairs all day long, how can the younger generation be rude."

"Young Master Yu is polite, please take a seat."

Prime Minister Yin loves antique calligraphy and painting, which can be seen from the furnishings in this main hall.

The most conspicuous thing here is the calligraphy and painting hanging on the hall, the lines are smooth and magnificent, from the inscription is everyone's work, and careful identification can be known to be a rare authentic handiwork.

"I believed that Mrs. had a cold, but I don't know if she has been getting better recently?"

"Madame is fine, and Miss Lao is worried."

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sister Yin for a long time, I wonder how she is doing?"

"It's good, I asked someone to bring some things back a few days ago, but I won't come back for the Chinese New Year this year, and Mrs. is still talking about going to see her when I'm free in a few days."

"It's not a trivial matter to get caught in the cold at this time, Madame should still rest more, we will go to Jiangzhou in two days, if the prime minister and Mrs. have anything to bring to Sister Yin, you can give it to us."

"So I'll thank you both in advance."

"The prime minister is polite."

Prime Minister Yin asked the housekeeper to prepare some tea and snacks, but the two of them really couldn't eat anymore, so Prime Minister Yin asked the housekeeper to wrap those snacks and let the couple take them with them when they left.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Mrs. Yin's personal maid came to the door.

"Master, Mrs. heard that the two young heroes were visiting, and said that she wanted to meet them, so please take the two young heroes to the inner courtyard."

"Got it, go ahead."

After all, Prime Minister Yin was a civil minister, and the security in the palace was much stricter than that of the Qin Mansion, and when he walked all the way to the inner courtyard, he encountered several patrolling government soldiers.

The New Year is approaching, there are many people coming and going, and the defense of the house is even more slack.

Originally, the lanterns were hung on the night of Shangyuan, but they can be seen everywhere in the prime minister's mansion, and they are not the kind of paper paste.

When a few people arrived, Mrs. Yin was already waiting in the pavilion in the inner courtyard.

"I've seen Madame."

"You're welcome, please take a seat."

Although she deliberately dressed up, she could still see that Mrs. Yin's complexion was not very good.

"Madame's spirit is not very good, I think the symptoms have not been cured, can the medical officer say anything?"

"The doctor said that there is no major problem, just continue to take the medicine and rest for a few more days."

"That's good."

Xiaozhen also diagnosed Mrs. Yin's pulse, and the pulse was quite stable, and it was indeed fine.

Looking back, Xiao Zhen noticed what Xiao Yu was looking around.

"Husband, what are you looking at?"

"Before Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, lanterns were already hung in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was something special."

"yes, but it's beautiful."

Xiao Zhen said, looking up at a small lantern hanging in the corner of the pavilion, it is small and exquisite, every pattern is meticulous, it must be the meticulous work of an excellent craftsman.

"The papier-mâché lanterns are usually made for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in response to the solar terms, and they can't last long after all, but my wife loves the lanterns the most, so I found a craftsman to make these lanterns and place them everywhere in the house, so that my wife can see the lanterns anytime and anywhere."

"For this garden full of lanterns, the prime minister really put a lot of thought into it, and Mrs. is really blessed."

"The master deliberately concealed it, and I didn't know about it until the lantern was hung in the courtyard, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him break the bank so much."

"I didn't tell Mrs. because I knew that Mrs. would stop me, but these lanterns really didn't cost too much silver taels."

"Don't fool me, master, this wood and craftsmanship are not all costs."

"Madame has always been industrious and thrifty, how can the husband not remember that these timbers are all scraps that the butler has found from the carpenter, otherwise how can these lanterns be so irregular."

"Is that true?"

"Nature."

"I was still thinking about what the mystery of this lantern would be, it turned out to be the master's mind and the craftsman's ingenuity, in fact, the master doesn't have to bother so much."

"Madame has been married to Yin Mou for many years, and she has suffered a lot with me, and Madame doesn't like luxurious things, how can it be said that it is bothersome to prepare these delicate and invaluable small objects."

Prime Minister Yin and Mrs. Yin looked at each other and smiled, this kind of trust and care between them made the couple very moved, after all, this is indeed a special and precious love, simple but not simple.

"Husband, this year's Shangyuan lanterns, can we also do it ourselves?"

"Okay, what kind of lantern does the lady want to make?"

"Hmm...... Do two, one you like and one I like. ”

"What you like, that's what I like."

Xiaoyu was still smiling gently, Prime Minister Yin and his wife were extremely relieved to see the young man in front of them so affectionately.

At this time, the wind rose in the courtyard, and it was a little cooler for a while.

"I'll send Mrs. back to the room, Madame's body hasn't healed yet, and if she catches a cold again, I'm afraid she will be sick for a few more days."

"Why don't you go to the side hall to talk, it's close, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I really have a lot to say to the two of you."

"It's fine."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Several people went to the side hall together, and as soon as they entered the door, it was much warmer.

"You two haven't been in Beijing for years, so you think you've been to a lot of places."

"Yes, over the years, I have accompanied my lady to look for a few precious medicinal herbs, and I happened to be not near the capital during the New Year's Festival, so I never entered Beijing."

"Did you find that?"

"Fortunately, with the help of friends from all over the world, we have already found all of them."

Xiao Yu said this, Xiao Zhen remembered the medicinal materials she brought to Mrs. Yin.

"Husband, I almost forgot it, I brought some nourishing and conditioning herbs, and my wife took it for a few days a month according to the prescription, and the old disease should feel more comfortable."

"Thank you girl, I haven't troubled the girl all these years, and I'm really a little upset."

"Madame doesn't have to be so polite, I am a healer, these are what I should do, not to mention, the skills I learned from the master are for the purpose of purifying sentient beings."

"The disciples under Sister Guanyin's seat must all be bodhisattvas."

"That's true, it's just that in my opinion, my lady is more kind than others."

Xiao Yu said this, but Xiao Zhen was a little shy, Putuo disciples not only practice the art of helping the world and saving people, but also practice the method of the five elements, but she is more focused on the way of medicine, and she is indeed a little slack about the method of defeating the enemy.

"Husband, you are laughing at me again, you are already specializing in spells, how can I compare with you."

"Lady, I'm praising you, even though your sisters are handy with the Five Elements, they are not as careful as the lady to treat people's pain."

"Sister Yuchen is because she cares about me so that I can concentrate on practicing medicine to treat people and heal their wounds, instead of fighting the enemy, but her medicine is also far above me, you say so, how can you not laugh at me."

Xiaozhen had a little temper and began to recognize the reason for death.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, I hope the lady will forgive me."

The husband and wife quarreled like this, which made Prime Minister Yin and his wife happy.

"Young Master Yu is still so good-tempered, although Miss Zhen loves more sincerely, but this temperament is cute."

"yes."

Xiaoyu also laughed, causing Xiaoyu to blush for a while, and then laughed as well.

After chatting for a long time, it was a little dark, and the couple prepared to leave.

"It's not early, I've been bothering for a long time, thanks to the prime minister and his wife."

"What did Childe say, since the two of them still have affairs, I won't force the two to stay."

"Juniors say goodbye."

Leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Zhen still counted Xiao Yu all the way, Xiao Yu was still coaxed with a smile, in front of Xiao Ji, he would never have a bad temper, because he knew that Xiao Ji, who was always smiling gently, would not really be angry with him, if she was really angry, she would definitely make it clear to him, instead of a gratuitous temper.
