The warm afternoon sun leaks through the leaves, and the breeze seems to be nothing, which is really suitable for a moment of rest. Xie Lingtai had just dried a dustpan of wormwood, and yawned, and the faint medicinal fragrance seemed to hook out his sleepy worm.

The newly made pill was still lacking in medicinal herbs, and he had just sent the medicine boy out to buy it. When there was nothing to do, Xie Lingtai moved a chaise longue, placed it under the shade of a tree, lay down leisurely, and took out a silk handkerchief embroidered with Du Ruo from his arms, and covered his eyes.

"Doctor Xie! Doctor Xie! As soon as he got along with the sweet dream, the little medicine boy's babbling voice woke Xie Lingtai up.

"Thank you......

When the little medicine boy arrived, he saw Xie Lingtai looking sleepy, only to realize that he had disturbed his dreams, and his face was full of embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" Xie Lingtai took the handkerchief into his arms, "Did you buy the autumn grass before?" I want the kind of leaves that are narrow and long. ”

"Got it, bought it!" The little medicine boy hurriedly said: "It's not just the autumn grass, the warm heart soil you told me to pay attention to before, the Tongshoutang on West Street has just arrived. ”

"Did you get it?!" Xie Lingtai retreated sharply from sleepiness, and suddenly became energetic.

"That, that thing is too expensive, even if I don't buy this pre-autumn grass, it won't be enough." The little medicine boy said with some grievances.

"Then you won't make up your mind first?! If someone else sells it, how can it be good! ”

Xie Lingtai was a little anxious, and dragged the little medicine boy out.

"I don't look at the quality of the thing, and I make up my mind rashly, what if it's not good."

Xie Lingtai is tall and long-legged, and it is not difficult to walk, but the little medicine boy is like a little potato, and he can keep up with his two legs quickly.

"It's hard to come by, it's good to be able to meet it! What else is there to talk about? It's not ginseng and deer antler, and it's good or bad in different years. ”

Lin Tianqing's medicine is ordered on major pharmacies, and someone will always send it every month. But this pre-autumn grass and warm heart soil are the things that Xie Lingtai wants to use, if he uses the name of Lin Mansion, it is inevitable that he will have to go to the public account, and if he is discovered, he will have to ask the east and west, so he simply let the little medicine boy go out to buy it for himself.

The two hurried to Tongshoutang, "Shopkeeper, where is the warm heart?" The little medicine boy looked at the place where Fang had just placed the warm heart, but now it was empty, and a little bad premonition rose in his heart.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper casually fiddled with the abacus beads and said, "A noble family bought it!" ”

Xie Lingtai took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Please tell the shopkeeper who it is?" ”

"Do you know what the use of this can be, is it possible to go to someone's house to ask for it? Besides, although this heart-warming soil has a miraculous effect on cold, it is a symptomatic thing that does not cure the root cause, and the user will definitely get it like a treasure, who will share you? Don't be bored. The shopkeeper glanced at him, and saw that he was kind and courteous, so he kindly admonished him.

"But please give it a try, ask the shopkeeper to tell me." Xie Lingtai is still unrelenting.

Seeing that a guest outside the door was about to come in to grab the medicine, the shopkeeper waved his hand at him and said impatiently: "Okay, okay, tell you!" It was ordered by Prime Minister Lin Cheng's mansion! With such a high threshold, you can't get in? ”

When Xie Lingtai heard this, he looked at the little medicine boy in surprise, and when he saw that he also shook his head ignorantly, he was even more puzzled.

"In this Lin Mansion, no one needs warm heart. ’

"Doctor Xie, let's go back to the house first." The little medicine boy said, "I'll go and inquire who ordered this medicinal herb." ”

So far, Xie Lingtai can only nod, it is better to be in the Lin Mansion than in the hands of others, he always has more hope.

When the two of them returned to the Lin Mansion, the little medicine boy said that he was going to find out the news, and Xie Lingtai went back to the small courtyard alone.

But there were two more people in the courtyard, Fu'an was standing next to the tree, and Lin Tianqing was lying on the side of the recliner where Xie Lingtai had slept before, and she could see the undulating lines on her body, with the light spots sprinkled between the leaves, and it was a 'floating beauty picture'.

Xie Lingtai naturally felt that her behavior was inappropriate, and he just wanted to open his mouth to wake her up, but he saw Fu'an quietly shaking his head at him, and pointed to the two glass jars on the stone table in the courtyard.

Xie Lingtai's mind moved, and he could guess what was inside before he could open the lid. It seems that the two cans of warm heart soil in Tongshoutang are now here.

"Hmm~" Lin Tianqing snorted softly, as if she had just woken up, and Fu'an hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

"You're back?" She walked over to the stone table and sat down, smiling.

Xie Lingtai didn't have much smile on his face, and said, "How do you know that I'm looking for this heart-warming soil?" ”

Lin Tianqing looked puzzled, blinked, and said, "I don't know." ”

"Then why did you send this heart-warming soil?" When she said this, Xie Lingtai didn't believe it, he looked at the black and brown warm heart, and only felt panicked in his heart.

"I thought you liked rare herbs." Lin Tianqing's expression darkened, and his tone became humble.

"When Dr. Xie was chatting with people, he once said that when he was a child, he saw his grandfather treat people with warm heart soil, and he thought it was very magical, but warm heart soil is hard to find, and he has never met it since that time." Fu'an glanced at Xie Lingtai and said, "But there is such a thing." ”

Xie Lingtai did talk to a few little maids about decoction of medicine, so he nodded.

"It's all slaves and maids who have a lot of mouths, and they heard it from the little maid, and when they talked to the young lady a few days ago, they told it as a fresh story to the young lady. The young lady took it to heart and instructed the stewards of the major pharmacies, and if there was warm heart, she sent it together. "Fu An is blessed," If there is anything unpleasant about Doctor Xie, just send it to the slave and maid, and don't speak coldly to the young lady. ”

"Fu'an! Don't say it, it's just a misunderstanding. Lin Tianqing shook her head gently at Fu'an, she looked so weak, as if the reeds were swaying in the breeze.

"I, I just mentioned it casually once, and you remember?" Xie Lingtai felt that he had misunderstood Lin Tianqing, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Lin Tianqing turned around, covered her face with a handkerchief and nodded, there seemed to be tears in her eyes, "Then it won't hinder Doctor Xie, farewell." ”

The moment she turned around, a tear of grievance slipped down from the corner of her eye, stinging Xie Lingtai, and he couldn't help but say, "Wait." ”

Lin Tianqing's figure stopped, although her eyes were moist, there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She turned around, the curvature of the corners of her mouth changed subtly, and she looked very pitiful, only feeling that she had been greatly wronged.

"You." Xie Lingtai just wanted to say something, but he felt that Fu'an was beside him, and it was inappropriate.

Lin Tianqing glanced at Fu'an, and she left first.

"Miss Qing, thank you for being so attentive to me, and you attach so much importance to a word or two of gossip." Xie Lingtai turned his head to look at the two jars of warm heart soil, and then looked at Lin Tianqing, with a sincere and grateful look on his face, "I really need this warm heart soil, you have helped me a lot, it's just ......

Xie Lingtai paused, he always had to make it clear to Lin Tianqing that he was just a doctor taking care of a patient to her, and he had no love between men and women.

"It's just me to you......

Xie Lingtai's words stopped abruptly, the handkerchief in Lin Tianqing's hand was not grasped, it was blown away by the wind, and it hovered melodiously in mid-air, Xie Lingtai walked a few steps quickly, grabbed the handkerchief, and just wanted to return it to Lin Tianqing, his eyes suddenly condensed on the Du Ruohua embroidery pattern on the handkerchief.

He picked up the handkerchief in disbelief and looked at it carefully, "Doctor Xie, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Where did you get this veil?" Xie Lingtai only felt incredulous, why did the embroidery on Lin Tianqing's handkerchief look like it was from her handwriting?

"You say this?" Lin Tianqing pulled the veil out of Xie Lingtai's hand, and said with some hesitation: "It was given to me by a lady from Tong'an Hall." ”

"Which lady?! No, how did you end up in Tong'an Hall? Where do you go and what do you do? There were too many doubts, and he suddenly fainted Xie Lingtai's Qingming, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Lin Tianqing's eyebrows frowning slightly, as if he was ashamed, and suddenly found that he was holding her shoulder when he was emotional.

"Ah," Xie Lingtai hurriedly let go and took two steps back in a panic. "In the next moment, Miss Qing will not be surprised, can you tell me, why did the lady of Tong'an Hall give you this veil?"

Lin Tianqing bit her lower lip lightly and said with some hesitation: "If I tell Dr. Xie, Dr. Xie should not tell outsiders." ”

"Good!" Xie Lingtai agreed.

"I went to Tong'an Hall, I went to see the eldest lady of the Song family." As soon as Lin Tianqing's words came out, Xie Lingtai was really puzzled.

"She's the kind of person, why are you going to see her?" Xie Lingtai said puzzled, he was anxious, so he said, "Don't talk about this first, tell me how you met that lady." ”

"It's so bitter in the Tong'an hall that I brought some pastries and distributed them to the ladies and ladies, and everyone gobbled them up without the slightest reserve. But the lady was very different, and she did not want to accept my favor in vain, so she bartered embroidery. Lin Tianqing's fingertips stroked the Du Ruo on the handkerchief, and said, "Her craftsmanship is really good, Doctor Xie, do you know her?" ”

Xie Lingtai's nose was sour, as if he had been punched head-on, he held back his tears, took out a handkerchief from his arms and unfolded it, and put the Du Ruo flower in the palm of his hand, "She is my mother." ”

"Ahh Lin Tianqing stood up, kept pacing back and forth in place, and said with annoyance: "I knew this was the case, I should have brought her more things, this Tong'an Hall is only allowed to visit on the first and fifteenth days of the month, and now there are five days left before the fifteenth!" ”

Xie Lingtai saw her words and deeds like this, his heart was very moved, Tongan Hall did not allow men to enter and exit, Xie Lingtai had found a few women on the street and asked her to help send something in, but those women said that if it was not a dignitary or a relative, they could only let the sisters-in-law hand it over.

On the last trip to deliver things, a woman was upset, so she told Xie Lingtai about the matter, saying that those things were afraid that they would all fall into the hands of her sister-in-law, and asked Xie Lingtai not to do useless work anymore.

I heard Lin Tianqing say that it was extremely bitter in Tong'an Hall, but Xie Lingtai couldn't hold back after all, covering his tearful eyes with his palms, and a pair of small softness gently put it on his shoulders, silently comforting him.
