Chapter 43: Xie Lingtai
I only took half a sip of a cup of tea and never touched it again, I forgot to cover the cup, and the tea was blown cold by the wind. Song Zhi folded the letter paper and carefully tucked it into the book. This letter was sent by Su Shui herself, and when she jumped off the wall, she scared the meteor.
Shen Baiyan had already found an antidote to the symptoms in the territory of the Wu Clan, and asked him to send him back to the capital for Emperor Shun'an to take. It's just that he has other important things to do, so he couldn't return to Beijing.
"But the prince said that he must come back before the young lady's birthday." Su Shui is a cold appearance with fine eyes and raised eyebrows, but when he speaks to Song Zhi, he is surprisingly gentle.
"Please tell my sister that my birthday is just a trivial matter, don't worry too much, I know he just remembers." When Song Zhi said this, his expression was calm, down-to-earth and generous, and he didn't feel cowardly at all.
Song Zhi has rarely gone out in the past few days, Song Ling is not in the house every day, and Jiang Changwan is detained in the house by her mother. Besides, Song Zhi's knees often felt sore, and Qin's mother said that she was growing too fast and her bones couldn't keep up, so she stewed all kinds of bone broth for her in a different way, and drank it more often, Song Zhi always felt that she had a smell of oil.
All this made her lazy to go out, and she sat in the house all day reading, sometimes forgetting the difference between day and night.
As soon as Meteor entered the door, he saw Song Zhi sitting in front of the desk again, Edelweiss lazily flicking his tail on the desk, and Da Gu and Xiao Gu both stood on the edge of the window, calling from time to time. "The one in Leng Qiuyuan is grounded so he can't go out, Miss is good, she locks herself in the house, even if she takes Tengyun to the suburbs to relax."
"Tengyun asked my brother to borrow it." Song Zhi didn't raise his head and said, "Why have you become so verbose, have you been staying with the moon for a long time?" ”
"Miss! ~" Meteor snorted. The window in front of Song Zhi's desk was wide open, and the cool breeze rushed in, and Meteor took a silk scarf and draped it on Song Zhi's bare neck, she reached out and touched the tea cup, and said, "The tea is cold, the slave maid goes to change a cup." ”
As soon as she stepped out, a torrential rain fell, and Meteor hurriedly put the cup on the nearby table, and turned back to close the window for Song Zhi, but saw that the window was closed. She leaned over and smiled at Meteor, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" Isn't it possible that I won't even close a window? ”
Having said that, the rain just now came in a hurry, and a few rain drops still fell on the desk, and the edelweiss jumped under the table.
Song Zhi took the handkerchief and wiped the wet book little by little, and his heart was full of a sense of helplessness. As soon as it rains, the room is overcast, and the place where the light is lit is one piece of light, and the rest of the place is dark. Song Zhi sat in this place where light and darkness meet, thinking a lot.
Shen Baiyan's letter said, 'Doctor Xie was originally called Xie Lingtai, and his background is very innocent, and there is nothing suspicious. ’
In fact, with the Lin family's methods and connections, the people who have been approved by them naturally have no questions. However, Song Zhi was always uneasy in his heart. Could it be that the person who was in the study that day was not Xie Lingtai? Song Zhi had no way to be sure.
"That's it," Song Zhi sighed lightly, the sound of the rain outside mixed with the sound of the wind made her feel calm, "It's a good thing that Sister Qing'er can survive after all." If there is rain, listen to the rain, and care so much about him. ’
The wind gradually turned, Song Zhi raised his sore neck, opened the window and looked out of the window, the eaves rained like a string of bead curtains, and when the rain gradually increased, it was like an ice ridge condensed under the eaves in winter.
……
In addition to the family, Lin Tianqing's small house has always been rarely visited, and there is one more Xie Lingtai to take care of her body during this time. She has set up a red Fushou pattern offering table in her house all year round, asking the Bodhisattva to bless Lin Tianqing's health. This offering table is the royal gift of the Lin Mansion, several sides of the back grain side of the relief abduction pattern and curly grass pattern, in the middle of the bat pattern, begging to come and go are for a blessing and health.
The flowers in front of the offering table are changed every day, and even in winter, they are replaced by velvet flowers. During this period of time, it rained a lot, the fruits would rot in a few days, the flowers bloomed quickly and failed quickly, and Lin Tianqing couldn't see these decaying scenes, so these things had to be replaced from time to time.
Xie Lingtai looked at the maidservant girl walking by with a plate of offerings of fruits and flowers under the corridor, and said, "Wouldn't it be troublesome to change like this every day?" If you put a pot of evergreen and rich bamboo, green all year round, not only convenient, but also good. ”
"Well, Dr. Xie has a point." Lin Tianqing said, "It just so happened that my sister gave me two pots of bamboo, so let's put them on the table." "Her rouge today is too ruddy, and the whole person looks like it's hot and a little dry.
The two pots of bamboos sent by Song Zhi were moved from the inaccessible backyard to the offering table that was taken care of every day because of Xie Lingtai's words.
Lin Tianqing's body is getting better day by day, and gradually feels that this day is beginning to taste, and he no longer feels that he is staying through his life like before. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but her sorrow was gradually dissipating, and she didn't want to be sad and sad as before.
She has also become more and more greedy, and she has never touched a little meat and fishy things, but now she gradually likes to eat them. Song Zhishang came back to visit and learned that her appetite had improved a lot, and she often collected some fresh food and asked people to send it to Lin Tianqing.
"Doctor Xie, this is leaving? It's raining so hard outside, and the humidity is heavy, so let's have a cup of tea first. Lin Tianqing saw Xie Lingtai packing up the medicine box, and hurriedly said.
Xie Lingtai closed the lid of the medicine box and said with a smile: "This idea is not harmful to me, but Miss should be careful, it is best not to go out, and it is best to light the incense I rationed for Miss in the house to remove the moisture." ”
"It's always used in the inner room. It's just that this incense is expensive, and the place next to it is reluctant to use it anymore. When Lin Tianqing spoke, she kept looking at Xie Lingtai, and the blush spread on her face, as if she had slept on her face in spring. Even Fu'an, who realized it later, felt that his young lady had been a little different recently.
"In this case, when the rain passes for a while, I will bring some more, and Miss can use it as much as she can." Xie Lingtai put the medicine box on his back and was about to get up and leave.
"Doctor Xie, my sister brought me a few famous dim sum in Beijing, as soon as you came to the capital, you were detained by my illness all day long, and you didn't taste a few delicious dishes, today is a coincidence, let's eat some with tea." Lin Tianqing didn't wait for Xie Lingtai to reply, so he turned his head and said to Fu'an, "Go and bring the snacks sent by Miss Biao." He smiled at Xie Lingtai again, "My sister has always been a greedy person, and there is probably no food in the capital that she hasn't eaten." ”
"Miss Song is so proficient in food, and Miss Lin gets along with her a lot, and the good luck is naturally indispensable. The two of you are the average age, so you naturally surrender. After hearing that this snack was sent by Song Zhi, Xie Lingtai quietly adjusted his sitting posture, as if he didn't want to get up and leave just now.
Lin Tianqing picked up a piece of crisp cheese and took a bite carefully, I don't know what kind of thoughts, Lin Tianqing retorted: "I have always been in poor health, and I don't often interact with children, although there is some affection, but in the end, it is not deep, and it is not a sister." ”
The warm and sweet taste of milk spread in Xie Lingtai's mouth, and the next moment he stuffed the remaining half of the crisp cheese in his hand into his mouth, and after carefully tasting this piece, he spoke: "Although Miss's body can't be said to be all good now, it is mostly better." The weather is getting warmer, so why not ask the little sister to go out to enjoy the flowers and birds, or watch the play and taste tea, which is a good way to relieve depression. I see that the young lady of the Song family is probably a lively character, and the young lady will always be happier with her. ”
"Wouldn't I be happy without her?" As soon as these words came out, Lin Tianqing and Xie Lingtai were both stunned, "This, my body has been getting better these days, and I am already in a good mood." Lin Tianqing explained dryly.
Xie Lingtai nodded and said, "That's fine." ”
Both of them were silent for a moment, and Lin Tianqing spoke again: "A few days ago, my aunt invited you to the Song Mansion, what happened?" ”
"There is an aunt in charge of the Song Mansion who has been sick for a long time and is not well, so Mrs. Song invited me to take a look." In addition to the daily peace pulse invited by Lin Tianqing these days, he always looked for some other reasons to summon Xie Lingtai to come, and occasionally Xie Lingtai was not in the mansion. She would reluctantly ask Xie Lingtai where he went, and even find a little girl to follow him, Xie Lingtai gradually became a little unhappy with Lin Tianqing.
"What's the big deal?" Lin Tianqing naturally cared about the condition of an aunt in charge, but there was nothing else to say at this time.
Xie Lingtai was silent, and only briefly mentioned, "It's all right now." ”
Aunt Zhou's illness is actually not that simple, but it is also simple to think about. In order to prevent herself and the stewardship of Song Jian Courtyard from falling into the hands of others, Song Yan drugged Aunt Zhou, so that she was unwell and had no strength to take the power from Song Yan's hands, so even if Song Yan was still grounded, the account books of the Cold Autumn Courtyard and the Turbidity Heart Courtyard were handed over to her.
Because the medicine is not lethal, and Aunt Zhou is an outsider after all. The doctor in the house received a little benefit from Song Yan, and actually suppressed the matter.
After Xie Lingtai revealed the mystery in a cup of Ningshen tea every day, the doctor disappeared, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. On the grounds that Song Yan was still grounded, the Lin family took away her rights and handed them over to Zhang Huilan. If Zhang Huilan can't figure it out, she can go to the main courtyard to discuss with her, but she is no longer allowed to sneak around to find Song Yan.
This punishment was also too lightly revealed, and Song Zhi had a headache, but he was blocked by Lin's sentence of 'family ugliness'. The girl who has not left the cabinet fights for power at home and poisons others, is this not considered a family ugly? If such a thing is known to others, Song Yan will only have the share of being a sister-in-law for the rest of her life!
