Chapter 232: Long Time No See
For the first time, the little daughter-in-law who married outside Nanshan Village was unable to return to her parents' house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and even the daughter-in-law who married outside was reluctant to go back to her mother-in-law's house immediately.
Although it is very cold in winter, the people who watch the play have never stopped, and during the day, there are even more people lining up to the entrance of the village, and some people climb to the roof to watch the play.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, has no interest in watching a play, and would rather hide at home and read medical books.
"Girl, the master asked his subordinates to bring you a gift." Zifeng, as a powerful subordinate beside Shangguan Yu, knew the relationship between the two, so he no longer wore a face towel, and his tone was flattering.
"Go find Bai Shao yourself and ask her to get you a table of food." Bai Ling didn't want to cook by himself every time, so he deliberately let Bai Shao know about Zifeng's existence.
Every time Zifeng came over to deliver letters, etc., Bai Shao was responsible for preparing meals for him.
Zifeng left with his hand, Bai Ling opened the box, and saw a pair of quaint bracelets lying inside, which looked a little old, but he couldn't see the prestige.
The style of the bracelet is very ordinary, only some ordinary patterns, but Bai Ling is more and more sure that the bracelet is unusual.
After studying for a long time, Bai Ling couldn't guess why, so she opened the letter written to her by Shangguan Yu.
The letter explained the purpose of the bracelet at the beginning, and when it touched the mechanism, dozens of needles as thin as bee's tails shot out in the shape of a fan, and even first-class masters could not dodge it at close range.
Bai Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, such a secret weapon was what she needed.
Although space can be hidden, it is not always available for escape.
"You have a heart." Bai Ling smiled and put the bracelet on, it was slightly bigger, but it wouldn't fall off.
After stroking the bracelet for a while, to determine where the mechanism was, Bai Ling did not test it, so as not to trouble collecting those small needles.
In the letter, there were two sets of spare needles in the box, and then Shangguan Yu wrote a poem expressing his lovesickness.
It was not the first time he had received such a letter, Bai Ling still showed a sweet smile, and he didn't know when there was an extra hosta in his hand, carved into the style of green bamboo, which was very suitable for Shangguan Yu's cold temperament in front of his subordinates.
"May you be safe, and wait for your return." After Bai Ling thought for a while, he only replied with eight words, and then put them in the brocade box together, waiting for Zifeng to come and pick up things.
What Bai Ling didn't know was that the war at the border pass had started on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and it had not ended yet.
The floods in the south of the Eastern Han Dynasty caused many small countries and tribes in the north to be trapped by heavy snow, and in order to survive, they had to wage war.
Zifeng took things away, and did not tell Bai Ling about the situation at the border pass, nor did he ask for any more medicines.
In the blink of an eye, the first month of the year is out, and the farmers are beginning to prepare for the new year.
Repairing farm tools and wearing for work, and selecting grain varieties are also busy until mid-March.
"Girl, Miss Xiao and Master Xiao are here." Bai Shao opened the curtain, afraid of bringing the cool air into the house, so he stood at the door.
"Together?" Bai Ling raised his eyebrows.
"Yes." Bai Shao replied.
Bai Ling frowned, and soon understood why these two people came together, and couldn't help but pat his forehead.
"I said that Xiao Fuzi is a little familiar, so that's the case." After Bai Ling figured out the relationship between the two, he put on a cotton cloak and walked out.
Since Xiao Muqing returned to Beijing, the correspondence between the two has gradually decreased, but there is always a correspondence.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, Bai Ling's mood can't help but be a little complicated, from the words in the letter, Xiao Muqing seems to have changed a little, but Bai Ling can't say anything wrong.
"Second sister, you're here, I didn't recognize Miss Xiao when I saw it just now, I thought it was a fairy." When Bai Wei saw Bai Ling coming, she immediately beckoned.
Just out of the New Year, there are people doing things, and when the Bai sisters are not learning talents, they often gather in the hall to play cards.
However, Bai Ling still has to read medical books or tinker with medicinal materials, so he has less time here.
This is also the reason why Bai Cao and Bai Wei were both there when Bai Ling came over.
As for the aunts and sisters-in-law of the Bailiu family, most of them are talking with Mrs. Liu, or doing some needlework, and they are rarely in the hall.
"I haven't seen her for more than a year, Qing'er has really changed a lot, if I see it on the street, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize it."
As soon as Bai Ling entered the house, he saw Xiao Muqing, and saw that her dress was a little more luxurious than before, and her complexion was much better, and said with a smile:
"The third sister is right, isn't this just a fairy descending to earth. The water and soil over there in the capital are really more nourishing, and I want to go to the capital to live for a year and a half, and maybe there is a little bit of jasper after I come back. ”
"Ling'er is also messing around with Wei'er, how can there be such a big change, it's just that people rely on clothes."
Xiao Muqing smiled softly, took Bai Ling's hand and asked her to sit beside her, pointed to a few boxes on the side and said:
"I haven't seen you for so long, I brought some fashionable things from the capital, you are not allowed to dislike it."
"As long as it is brought by Qing'er, even if it is a needle and thread, I am rare." Bai Ling answered with a smile, and didn't mean to get up to look.
With Bai Ling's net worth, she can afford to buy anything she wants, and the key is that she is limited to appreciating clothes and jewelry.
And the Bai family lives in the village, and the clothes are too good and not applicable, and they are too high-profile.
"I know that you have a sweet mouth, if I have another chance to come over next time, I will bring some needles and threads, and see how you place them." Xiao Muqing covered her mouth and chuckled.
In the past year, the two of them have been called so affectionately, and occasionally they will make a few jokes in their hearts.
After a few words of gossip, Xiao Muqing pulled into the topic and said: "I came here this time to borrow my brother's light, he has something to discuss with you, so he has to use my body as a raft, saying that there is a miracle doctor here, and he wants to take me to regulate my lower body." ”
Bai Ling smiled back, knowing that Xiao Muqing didn't believe in her medical skills.
Before Xiao Muqing returned to Beijing, Bai Ling gave Xiao Muqing a medical treatment, but Xiao Muqing did not take the prescription prescribed by Bai Ling.
At that time, Bai Ling was only cautious about the people around Xiao Muqing, so every time he prepared food for Xiao Muqing, he added spiritual spring water, and Xiao Muqing's body was also improved.
Bai Ling did what a healer and friend should do, and she didn't want to think about the rest.
"Master Xiao, long time no see." Bai Ling looked at Xiao Mu and said.
"I concealed my identity before, and I hope Miss Bai will forgive me." Xiao Mu got up, apologized to Bai Ling, and said elegantly but simply: "This time, I came here for my sister's body, and I also asked Miss Bai to do her best to recuperate." The second is that Ziheng wants to cooperate with Miss Bai in the business of Jinyufang, and hopes that Miss Bai can take the time to discuss with Ziheng in detail. ”
"Brother!"
Xiao Muqing's face changed slightly, and after calling Xiao Mu, she regained her elegant smile and said to Bai Ling:
"Ling'er doesn't have to feel embarrassed, my brother is just too worried about my physical condition. It's just that I've seen too many doctors over the years, and I have asked the imperial doctor to recuperate when I returned to Beijing this time, but I still don't see much complexion, and my mother is worried about it. It's all fate, and I've resigned myself to it. ”
"Ten points of illness, three points of treatment, seven points of mood regulation. Although Qing'er is a fetal girdle with physical weakness and cold, it is not impossible to recuperate, but the process is not easy to rush, and Qing'er needs to have a good attitude, exercise more and pay attention to diet. ”
Hearing Xiao Muqing's words, Bai Ling couldn't help but feel a little pity, and he did his duty as a healer.
"White girl, Qing'er's physical condition will be handed over to you, I believe that with your medical skills, Qing'er will definitely be fine."
