Chapter Ninety-Seven: Tan's Visit (I)
Lin looked at Jiang Zhiming holding Gu Yutang tightly in his arms, and strode out of the back room, with bursts of joy in his heart.
Originally, she was worried that with Gu Yutang's naΓ―ve temperament, she would inevitably be deceived when she went out, but now that Jiang Zhiming is by her side, she is afraid that it is not others who deceive her, but she deceives others.
"Looking at the way the two of them said those words, they really looked like a pair of enemies! Old sister, although my brother knows that Brother Ming is a little naughty, his temperament is good after all, so you can marry Sister Tang with confidence! knows that although her mother is not a good person, the old lady of their family is a good person and will definitely treat Sister Tang well. Feng Lao'an said, picking up the tea cup on the high table next to him, but found that there was still a food box on the top of the high table that she had brought over in person, and it had not been given to Gu Yutang yet.
Feng Lao'an knew that the little girl's family loved sweets, so just before coming to the hall, Feng Lao'an asked Zijuan to make mung bean crisp and wosi candy, put them in the food box, and prepared to take them to Gu Yutang. Fang Cai had been listening to them for a long time, and he forgot about this block.
She hurriedly instructed Zijuan beside her: "Zijuan, there are few people serving in the third girl's house, now I'm afraid that there is no one in the house, you still wait for the third girl to go back, and send this food box over." Inside, I thought she should like to eat it. β
Lin listened to Feng Lao'an say that this was something to be sent to Gu Yutang, so he said, "I've been bothering my second brother and sister these days, we have been living here, I don't know how many things I have made of you, how many things I have eaten from you, and I have prepared food for Sister Tang for a rare trip." β
"Old sister, don't see me, these things are worth a few dollars, now I am counting on your illness to get better soon, and I can send you back to Chengjiang with confidence." Feng Lao'an looked at the Lin family opposite, and said sincerely.
Lin was about to reply, when he saw a little maid hurriedly walk in, and only after saluting according to the rules did he say: "Old lady, old lady Feng, outside the house, Mrs. Cai led Mrs. Tan of the county order over, and Mrs. Tan said that she had something to say to the two old ladies." β
"Which Mrs. Tan is it?" Lin didn't know who the county lady Tan was talking about, so he asked the little maid.
Without waiting for the little maid to answer the Lin family, Feng Lao'an had already preemptively said: "Old sister, it is the wife of our Pengpucheng County Order, Tan Shi, who is a continuation string, and her family background is not high. β
"Oh, it turned out to be the wife of the Punpu County Order? It's not about choosing a new daughter-in-law, looking at what kind of family background. Since she has the heart to come to see me, let me meet her! Lin said, and Mama Liang, who was waiting next to her, had already helped Lin up and helped her to the inner room.
Since he was going to meet with foreign guests, Lin inevitably had to redress his makeup. When Lin was sorting out his clothes in the inner room, Mrs. Cai had already led Tan into the front hall, and Feng Lao'an stood behind the screen and gave Cai Shi, who was standing next to Tan, a look, and motioned for her to come to his side.
Cai came to the back of the screen, and was about to ask Feng Lao'an what she was asking her to do, Feng Lao'an had already spoken: "What's the matter with you?" Why does anyone dare to bring it home? Who is your Aunt Lin, just with her Tan background, is she also worthy of coming to greet your Aunt Lin? β
Cai didn't dare to reply to Feng Lao'anren's words, so he had to explain: "Mother, I didn't bring her here. It was she who came to me specifically and said that Aunt Lin was an old fairy, and she wanted to come over to greet her and get some fairy energy. β
"Immortal? Your Aunt Lin is not a Da Luo Immortal in the sky, what kind of immortal energy can she have? I just wanted to find an excuse to see your Aunt Lin, the Tan family is a scheming and city government, you should not associate with her in the future. Even if she is going to come to visit, you have to try to push me! Feng Lao'an told the Cai family beside him, and at the same time turned his head to look at the Tan family sitting in the front hall.
Lin sorted out his clothes and was helped out of the inner room by Mama Liang.
Tan knew that he was going to see the two old men today, so he didn't dare to wear too dazzling and gorgeous clothes, and wore a light blue Hangzhou silk gown, which was embroidered with a lotus goldfish pattern, and the corner of the skirt was embroidered with a circle of auspicious patterns embroidered on both sides. The bun is also simply combed into a round bun, fixed with only a black gold hairpin.
As soon as Tan saw Lin coming out of the inner room, he rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and suddenly knelt at Lin's feet, and opened his mouth to say, "Old Madam Lin, help!" As soon as these two sentences were shouted, Tan, who was still flat, became tearful at this moment.
Lin was frightened by her sudden move, and her heart was also shocked, if it wasn't for Mama Liang holding her by the side, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground by now. Lin glanced at Tan who was kneeling at his feet, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he asked Mama Liang to help her to the bamboo chair and sit down first.
"Mama Liang, are you going to help the lady who is kneeling on the ground up? Let her get up and tell her what happened. Whose life do you want me to save?" Lin said, picking up a cup of tea on the table, ready to use it to suppress the shock.
Mama Liang helped Tan, who was kneeling on the ground, up and sat on the bamboo chair next to her. Seeing that the Tan family sat down, Feng Lao'an and Cai, who had been hiding behind the screen, also came out together.
Seeing Feng Lao'an and Cai coming out from behind the screen, Lin asked, "What are the second brother and sister and nephew and daughter-in-law doing hiding behind the screen?" Could it be that you are tidying up your clothes inside?"
Seeing that the Lin family took the initiative to give him a step down, Feng Lao'an took the opportunity to say: "Old sister, my clothes are messed up just now, and when I saw the sixth daughter-in-law in the house, I asked her to come over and tidy up my clothes." Because it is the clothes inside, it is inevitable to hide behind the screen to cover up the shame. β
"Yes! Aunt Lin, my mother's clothes were messed up, and she specially asked me to go in and help her tidy up. Cai was afraid that Lin would not believe it, so he hurriedly echoed it.
When Lin saw them descending the steps he had given them, he didn't wonder why they hid behind the screen. He turned his head to Tan who was sitting beside him and said, "Mrs. Tan, what do you want to say to me, just say it!" There are no outsiders in the house, so you don't have to worry about news leaking out. β
Seeing that the Lin family said this, the Tan family first looked at Feng Lao'an and Cai who were sitting on the boxwood chair opposite him, and then moved his gaze to the Lin family sitting on the main seat, and then said: "Old Mrs. Lin, my eldest man was bitten on the thigh by my yellow dog a few days ago, and now he is unconscious. I have invited all the doctors that Punpu can ask for, but none of them can cure this disease. Knowing that Mrs. Lin is from the Lin family in Zhengding, and the Lin family in Zhengding is a medical center, I want to ask Mrs. Lin to help me go to Zhengding to invite a doctor to come down and give my husband a doctor. β
Lin didn't rush to agree to her, but wanted to understand the reason for the matter first, so he said, "What does that dog look like?" Can you catch it?"
Tan knew that the matter was urgent, so he told the truth, "Mrs. Lin's dog has been caught by us, and the presiding master of Fahua Temple told us that only by applying the dog's brain to the wound will my eldest man not suffer from hydrophobia!" We did so, but our eldest man fell unconscious. My lord knew that Mrs. Lin was in the Gu Mansion, so he specially asked me to come and beg you. β
"It is mentioned in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", 'It is to kill the dog that bites, take the brain and compress it, and it will not recur later.'" The abbot of Fahua Temple is right to do this, and as for asking me to go to Zhengding to help you get a doctor down, then there is no need. Presumably, the abbot also told you that every day you should wash the wound with soap for half an hour, and then squeeze out the poisonous blood, so that it will not take long to heal. As soon as Lin's voice fell, he asked someone to hand a cup of tea to Tan.
"Old Madam Lin is really clever, the master of the residence of Fahua Temple did order us to do this, just do this, can my eldest man be cured?" Tan didn't believe what Lin said, and asked again.
"Mrs. Tan just rest assured, my Aunt Lin is also from the Zhengding Lin family, and she has also learned some medical skills from the clansmen since she was a child, and she is right. And the abbot master of Fahua Temple is a famous doctor in all ten miles and eight towns, if you don't believe my Aunt Lin, you should also believe him! Cai's knew that the Tan family cared about their eldest family, and it was inevitable that he would rush to the doctor when he was sick, so he comforted him.
