Chapter Eighty-Nine: Heart Palpitations
If the woman in the boudoir is compared to a flower, then Lin Tianqing feels that there is nothing more appropriate in this world than osmanthus.
The beauty of a woman lies in her subtlety, she walks lightly, and she only laughs for three points when she laughs. Just like the osmanthus flower, a small one gathers on the branches, always hidden between the branches and leaves, and the leaves must be gently opened to see.
This osmanthus in Lin Tianqing's courtyard has always bloomed late, and this year it is even more so, but it is not too late, but the charm that should have it has not fallen.
Lin Tianqing stood by the window and stared silently at the osmanthus plant, she looked out of the window, and could only see a little golden on the tree, most of the osmanthus leaves are dark green, and the time from young leaves to old leaves is extremely short, just like a woman who is only a few years of innocence.
The depth and stability of the green leaves are like the dignified and virtuous women of women. But if you look closer, you can get a glimpse of its secrets. Although the osmanthus is small, but they are all five-petaled, leaning on one place next to each other, it seems to be soft and weak, but it can open in late autumn and stand up on the branches.
The fragrance of this osmanthus flower is a little poetic and a little drunk. She picked up the cup and just wanted to take a sip, but she was afraid that the tea would wash away the breathless aroma on the end of her nose.
This fragrance always made Lin Tianqing feel a little fluttering, and her body seemed to be a wisp of breeze, as if she was floating.
Lin Tianqing felt a little incredible, this elegant floral fragrance could always arouse her desire to find out.
It turns out that this seemingly reserved osmanthus also has this charm that confuses people.
"Miss." Fu Shou walked in, and saw Lin Tianqing standing in front of the window blowing a cool breeze, she bent down obediently and said, "Doctor Xie is here, waiting for you in the hall." Also, Miss Song sent someone to send a post, saying that she would like to invite you to the play tomorrow afternoon, and if you don't have time tomorrow, you can tell her when you are free. ”
"Well, I'll go to the hall." Lin Tianqing frowned, turned to Fu Shou and said, "You asked people to go to the Song Mansion to reply, just say that I haven't been feeling well recently and want to recuperate." As for listening to the play, I'll talk about it later. ”
Lin Tianqing passed by Fushou, and a scent of osmanthus wafted from her body.
In the past few days, the maidservants folded fresh osmanthus flowers to make flower dew, which was used to soak her clothes, and there was to be a special person to guard them, and they only soaked them for a quarter of an hour.
If it is too long, the taste will be too strong, and the elegant aroma will be tacky. Only as it is now, if the smell is absent, is it called a trick that attracts people's hearts.
Xie Lingtai lifted the lid of the cup, and saw that the slightly blue tea water was crystal clear, and there was only a little tea in the cup, and when he closed the lid, he saw Lin Tianqing walking in lightly, and the subtle aroma was lightly touched on the tip of his nose, but it disappeared.
"How do you know that Miss likes to drink weak tea?" Xie Lingtai stood up and saluted Lin Tianqing.
"It's not simple, the maidservant who is in charge of brewing tea once accidentally put less tea, but Xie Gongzi drank the tea that time, and then she knew it." Lin Tianqing smiled brightly, making people feel like looking up at the clear autumn sky.
"That's also how well the young lady taught." Xie Lingtai waved his hand and motioned for Lin Tianqing to sit down.
After Lin Tianqing sat down, he retreated and said, "I'm not feeling well today, so I asked Fu'an to go to Tong'an Hall for me." ”
Lin Tianqing put her wrist on the small pulse pillow familiarly, and said: "Originally, my palpitations at night were much better, and they rarely recurred, but two days ago, when I was foggy, I made another mistake, and when I went to Tong'an Hall to see your mother yesterday, I told her about it, and she gave me a prescription, saying that I would make a medicine bag according to this prescription, and I could smell it from time to time, and I could sleep peace-free." ”
Lin Tianqing said, took out a prescription from the purse on his waist, and handed it to Xie Lingtai, Xie Lingtai read it at a glance and praised it: "My mother really got the true inheritance of my grandfather, if she is a man, I am afraid that she can do more." ”
Lin Tianqing nodded, and asked with some confusion, "Why is my heart palpitation more serious every time it fogs?" When you haven't met Xie Gongzi yet, you won't even be out of breath. ”
Xie Lingtai's eyes were a little pity, and he said gently: "The courtyard is a little deeper, and the cloud window fog pavilion is late in spring." Everyone thinks that when the fog rises, the mortal world is as beautiful as a fairyland, but they don't know that this fog contains a lot of dust, and you walk in the fog, which is no different from walking in the dust, but the dust is wrapped in a layer of water vapor, which is difficult for people to notice. ”
"Oh." Lin Tianqing nodded thoughtfully, still looking ignorant.
"You've been there so many times, have the people of the Yan Mansion noticed it?" Xie Lingtai didn't want his identity to be known by the people of the Yan Mansion, no matter what happened back then, he was raised by his grandfather's family since he was a child, and he took pity on his mother's miserable life, so he would never recognize Yan Liufang's father and son.
Lin Tianqing said: "Don't worry, son, I have already asked Fu'an to probe the tone of those sisters-in-law." Originally, the Yan Mansion also set up a few rough mothers-in-law to monitor the Tong'an Hall, and later those mothers-in-law were old and died. Yan Fu is not so close to your mother anymore, and he hasn't even asked in the past few years, thinking that he has completely forgotten her. ”
"Then," Xie Lingtai suddenly had an idea, "can you get her out?" ”
"I asked a long time ago," Lin Tianqing shook her head, "she refused." ”
"Why?" Xie Lingtai said eagerly.
When I asked her why, she didn't say why, just shook her head, looking very determined. I have tried to persuade her many times, but she has never been able to do so. As soon as the words fell, Lin Tianqing suddenly showed a slightly painful look, she turned away, and did not want Xie Lingtai to see her expression.
Xie Lingtai hurriedly opened the medicine box, took out a pill that he had prepared before, and prepared to serve Lin Tianqing with water to take it. Who knew that Lin Tianqing's heart was uncomfortable, and he subconsciously shook his head again and again and refused to take the medicine.
Xie Lingtai coaxed her a few words and didn't see her open her mouth, so he had to pinch her small chin, stuff the pill into it, and force her to open her mouth and pour water into it.
Lin Tianqing was half-leaning on his arms, and finally took the medicine, she raised her eyes a little weakly and looked up at Xie Lingtai, her eyes were watery, like an unguarded young beast, and Xie Lingtai's heart was inexplicably soft.
He hurriedly let go of his hand, only to see that there were two obvious red marks on both sides of her cheeks, which had just been pinched out by Xie Lingtai, which made it extremely easy for people to feel pity.
"Someone." Xie Lingtai didn't dare to look any further, only feeling that although he had just acted in a hurry, it was too arrogant, so he hurriedly called the maid to come in and serve.
Fushou heard Xie Lingtai's voice from a distance, and when she rushed over from the ear room, she saw Suo Qiu's figure turning from the side, she must have heard the voice, but why not?
Fu Shou walked in, she saw Lin Tianqing slumped in the chair, looking weak and powerless, and Xie Lingtai stood aside again, looking helpless.
"Quick, help your young lady to take a medicinal bath." Xie Lingtai hurriedly ordered, "I'll go and prescribe a prescription to grab the medicine first, you remember that the water in the medicinal bath should use rainwater." ”
"Yes, rain has always been used, and the slaves and maids dare not forget Dr. Xie's instructions." Fushou helped Lin Tianqing up, and saw a slight wetness in her chest, she should have already taken medicine, "Why is Doctor Xie more anxious this time than when Miss's old illness recurred?" ’
Fu Shou Lisuo instructed the little maids to prepare a medicinal bath, these things were the most neglectful, and after a moment everything was ready.
Lin Tianqing sat in the brown medicinal bath and closed his eyes to recuperate, and said to Fushou on the side: "You go out first." ”
Fu Shou was stunned, once, Lin Tianqing had fainted during the bath, if there was no maid by his side, he was afraid that he would slide into the water and cause a big disaster.
"Miss, isn't that right?" Fushou didn't dare to go out.
"I want to use a bowl of glutinous eight-treasure rice porridge at night, you go to the kitchen now and help me watch it." This is clearly to spend Fushou, Fushou thought about it and said, "Then I will ask Suo Qiu to come in and accompany you." ”
Lin Tianqing opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, and said, "Go out." I don't want to repeat it. ”
Fushou simply blessed a blessing, turned around and went out, thinking, 'Whether you die or live is your own choice, if you really want to die, don't take me to the funeral!' ’
There was a 'squeak' and the door shut.
Lin Tianqing tore off a soft cotton cloth from the screen, spread it on the ground, and stepped out of the bathtub with her naked body, water droplets kept rolling down from her skin and hair, and fell on the white cotton cloth, becoming small brown dirty spots.
Leaning against a bronze mirror on the wall facing the bathtub, Lin Tianqing stepped on the cotton cloth and walked a few steps forward, she looked at her carcass in the mirror with satisfaction, a little shy.
Suddenly, a thought inexplicably drilled into her mind, 'Will Song Zhi's figure be better than her own?' ’
A few years ago, Song Zhi still liked to tie the belt tightly and pinch out a slender waist, but these few times I saw her, she has changed, the dresses are wide robes and large sleeves, and the loose bunch around the waist is like a velvet flower swaying in the wind, with its own romantic charm.
The fingers vaguely outlined the curvature of her chest, thinking of the proposal that Song Yan said a few days ago, Lin Tianqing's eyes had a touch of confusion and hesitation, in her heart, she did have jealousy towards Song Zhi, but jealousy is one thing, if she really harms Song Zhi, it is another matter.
'The relationship between Dr. Xie and me has gradually improved, it won't take much time, I think it will be more in-depth, so there is no need to be too taboo about the existence of the child, and when the child gets married, Dr. Xie's heart will be completely dead. ’
Lin Tianqing thought like this, the corners of her mouth curled, and a trace of joy flowed out.
At night, Xie Lingtai had just finished writing a long letter to his grandfather and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard Suo Qiu's anxious voice sound, "Doctor Xie, Doctor Xie!" Miss's heart palpitations are terrible, you can go and take a look. ”
