Chapter 102: Ability to Heal Trees
The porter turned and entered the door, and after a while a while a woman came with an old woman who was well-dressed and slightly fat.
"Mama Chun, that's the little girl."
"She? Can such a big girl cure the old lady's baby bump? Isn't that a joke! You and I have nothing to do all day, do you? ”
The porter was half-bent over, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"Mama Chun, the little one told this little girl like this before, but she has to say that she understands, and the little one is not sure in her heart, I'm afraid that if she really will, if this is not passed on, won't she miss it."
Lin Ruan hurriedly took the horse forward and said, "This grandmother, the little brother is right, I insisted on letting him pass it on." Although my family's ancestral unique craftsmanship may not be able to cure Mrs. Yao's tree, please let me take a look at it first, know what the situation of the tree is, and when I go home, I can learn from the adults in the family, they are more knowledgeable, and they must have more ways than me. ”
Mama Chun listened to her words reasonably, and suddenly lost two points of contempt before, and saw that her low stature was leading such a tall horse, so she asked, "Where does the girl's family live?" ”
"The little girl's family lives in Yulin County, and she came to Qingzhou on horseback early this morning, originally wanting to do some things, but she heard about your house on the road, and she missed Mrs. Yao's love for her son, so she dared to come and give it a try."
Mama Chun thought for a moment, and then said, "Then you give the horse to the porter and come with me." ”
Lin Ruan nodded with a smile, handed the reins to the porter, and entered the Yao Mansion through the side door with Mama Chun.
This was the first time she had entered this kind of tall house, and at first, she quietly looked around with great interest, but later found that this scenery was much worse than those ancient buildings before the end of the world, so she was not interested.
Maybe this courtyard is indeed exquisite and gorgeous in the eyes of people in this era, but in the eyes of Lin Ruan, it is really not enough.
While leading the way, Mama Chun quietly looked at Lin Ruan's demeanor, and saw that when she first entered the mansion, she was still a little curious, but after she came in, she looked like this, and she couldn't help but be surprised.
Their Yao family is the richest family in Qingzhou City, not to mention that the eldest and second masters are both officials in the court, but also the third master's business, which is also the only existence in their Qingzhou City and even Huaiyang Mansion.
Yaofu is rich and noble, this house is naturally everywhere exquisite, how many people have been to Yaofu after a trip, they will praise their Yaofu.
She also went to many other people's homes with the old lady, and she also went to many people's homes with a higher status than Yao Mansion, and she also went to a lot, according to her heart, those people's houses were still worse than their Yao Mansion.
But the little girl in front of her, who looked very ordinary, and was not even as good as the second-class maid ring of their Yao family, looked like nothing more than this in the courtyard of their Yao family.
And this little girl has no timidity at all in her expression, and the whole person is full of coolness, compared to a few girls in the family, there is no special beauty of reserved and extravagant, but it is also not daring to despise.
This made her extremely curious, what is the origin of this girl?
Mama Chun asked as she walked: "Little girl, the old body is negligent, I forgot to ask you what your surname is just now, if the old lady asks for a while, I can't answer, and I will be blamed by the old lady for being inconsiderate." ”
"My surname is Lin."
Mama Chun smiled and nodded, but muttered in her heart, she also knew a little about the situation in Yulin County, and there were no big families surnamed Lin there.
Lin Ruan knew that Mama Chun was trying to set her identity, but she cherished words like gold at this time, and made up her mind to pretend to be mysterious to the end.
Seeing that Lin Ruan refused to say more, and looked confident and calm, she knew that she couldn't ask anything, so she stopped talking and led the way.
The house of Yao's Mansion is very large, five in and five out, and the courtyard where Mrs. Yao lives is relatively far back in the house, where it is quiet, but the distance is relatively farther.
However, Lin Ruan's physical strength is good, and this distance is nothing.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived at Mrs. Yao's courtyard.
This yard is a little more elaborate than the outside.
Mama Chun subconsciously went to see Lin Ruan's reaction, and saw that she was still that impassive, and she was even more curious about her identity.
"Miss Lin, please wait here for a while, and I'll pass it on."
"There's Mama Lao."
Mama Chun smiled and nodded, and walked towards the main room. After a while, Mama Chun came out of the house with a simple, but noble old woman, followed by a few little maids.
Lin Ruan was very bright-eyed, and respectfully greeted him: "I've seen Old Madam Yao." ”
Old Madam Yao glanced at Lin Ruan up and down, "Is this little girl?" It's too young, can it be done? ”
Mama Chun said with a smile: "This Lin girl looks young, but the old slave is a good person when she listens to her, so she has the courage to bring her in, let the old lady take a look first." ”
Old Madam Yao also had the mentality of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor at this time, so she said, "Then let her take a look." ”
As he spoke, he said to Lin Ruan: "Little girl, come with me." ”
Lin Ruan nodded, and followed Mrs. Yao to a corner of the courtyard, where there was a pot of carefully trimmed yew, but the leaves were green and yellow, and some wilted.
"This is the enemy who makes the old body so worried that he can't sleep well, little girl, look at it, is there a way to cure it? If thou wilt be healed, I will give thee five hundred taels...... No, eight hundred taels, if thou wilt be cured, or if the elders of thy family can heal it, I will give thee eight hundred taels of silver as a reward. ”
Old Madam Yao looked at the cedar tree, her eyes full of helplessness and heartache.
When Lin Ruan heard this reward, he immediately felt more satisfied, but his face was not shown at all, and he still had that calm appearance.
"Old lady, let me check it out first."
Old Madam Yao hurriedly asked the servants around her to take a few steps back, so that Lin Ruan had a place to show his hands and feet.
Lin Ruan stepped forward and grabbed a handful of dirt from the pot of the cedar tree, twisted it with his fingers, and put it under his nose to smell it.
There is nothing out of the ordinary.
And he used his ability to probe the tree attentively, and there were no pests in the tree.
Manipulate the ability down the trunk to the base of the tree.
At this time, Lin Ruan found something wrong.
The roots are all rotten.
It is said that Mrs. Yao's degree of treasure for this tree must be very carefully served, and after raising it for so many years, the experience must be enough, and it is unlikely that there will be a simple rotten root phenomenon.
She wondered if there was something behind the roots of the tree that was causing the roots to rot, but the roots were rotten, so she couldn't use her abilities to probe the soil.
Lin Ruan turned around and asked Old Madam Yao, "Old Madam, may I ask who is taking care of this cedar tree on weekdays?" ”
