Swaying gently in the wind, Fushou carried a cup of chicken soup left over from the small kitchen, and walked out of the backyard path a little sneakily. Usually no one would come here, but today there was a faint sound of people.

Fushou was startled, and planned to return the same way, but Fu'an's face was vaguely distinguished from the shadow of the tree, her mouth opened and closed, and asked, "Doctor Xie didn't notice it, right?" ”

The smile on Fu Shou's face suddenly froze, and she subconsciously stopped her steps forward, swallowing back the call that had burst to the tip of her tongue.

Fu Shou held the tray in his hand and carefully did not let the lid of the soup cup touch the cup, so as not to make a noise and disturb the two who were talking.

"No, he is simple and simple, but he doesn't think so much." His voice was neither shrill nor coarse, like a teenager somewhere between a man and a boy.

Fu Shou cautiously walked a few steps towards where the two of them were, and caught a glimpse of the young man who was talking, who turned out to be a little medicine boy that the Lin Mansion had specially bought for Dr. Xie.

'What does he have to do with Fu'an?' Fushou was puzzled.

"The money has been sent directly to your house, you know what the young lady is doing, and it is not a heinous thing for you to do, you just have to keep your mouth shut, and the benefits are indispensable to you." Fu'an has a generous temperament in the end, and he has a little less strength to beat people.

"Yes, yes, the minion knows it." The little medicine boy said busily.

"Alright, you can get busy." Fu Shou said, she saw the back of the little medicine boy disappear around the corner, and when she was about to leave, she saw Fu Shou walking out from behind the rockery.

"Fu, Fushou, what are you doing here?" Although it is not a hurtful thing, Fu'an is more or less weak-hearted.

"I want to bring this soup to Wu's mother." Fushou's eyes are as calm as an ancient pond, and they seem to be able to shine on Fu'an's figure.

"Then, then you can go quickly." Fu'an hurriedly urged.

Fu'an and Fushou grew up in the Lin Mansion since they were children, and they were taken care of a lot by Wu's mother, and as soon as the two of them had something good, they would send it to Wu's mother.

However, Lin Tianqing didn't seem to agree with this matter, although he didn't say it explicitly, he knocked a few times between his words, so Fushou quietly sent something to Wu's mother every time.

Fu Shou stood still and asked, "What do you want that little medicine boy to do for you?" ”

"Don't you understand Miss's intentions? It's nothing more than wanting to know how to please Dr. Xie, the young lady is affectionate, but Dr. Xie turns a blind eye to it, and it's also pitiful. Don't ask. Fu'an knew that Fushou was a person who broke the casserole and asked to the end, so he simply said seven points and hid three points.

Hearing this, Fu Shou nodded after a long silence, and said, "Then you can do something more hidden." Dr. Xie's temperament doesn't look like a person who can be allowed to peek into his own mind. ”

"I know." Fu'an nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first, you go back quickly, there can't be no one in the courtyard." ”

"You're going out?" Fu Shou heard the sound outside the words, and just took a step, he paused again.

"Well, go out with Miss." Fu'an was vague and hurried away.

Fu Shou stood in place for a while, and just now walked towards Wu's mother's residence with the soup cup in his hand.

……

"Miss, I'm all done, let's go in." Fu'an pinched the empty purse, and said very dissatisfied: "These sisters-in-law are too powerful, they have obviously been dotted last time, and this time they will come again, and they will need the same amount of silver." I really don't understand, what is the use of these monks who are in this bronze nunnery all day long?! ”

Lin Tianqing said nonchalantly: "If you can use silver to send things away, you don't have to think about it." ”

This time she brought in a lot of things, but Lin Tianqing didn't want more people to know about it, so she only brought Fu'an alone, she carried it on her shoulders, so it was not hard.

When he finally arrived at the door of Mrs. Xie's room, Fu'an took off a filament quilt from his shoulder with difficulty, pushed open the door for Lin Tianqing, helped her in, and came out again to take these things in.

The room was cold and silent, and a black brazier was placed in the southwest corner. The flames arching in the brazier brightened the whole small room, but the fire could not dispel the warmth of the whole room. The firelight stretched the shadow of the woman sitting on the edge of the brazier very long, revealing a somewhat deformed thinness.

Because Lin Tianqing pushed the door in, it brought in a cool breeze, the flames shook slightly, and there was something about to be extinguished, the woman played twice unhurriedly, and the flames seemed to gasp, trying to ignite their own light in the dark.

The woman sensed someone coming in, but she didn't even give her a look. Lin Tianqing opened her mouth, but she had a hard time with this title, and only said after half a sound: "Madam? ”

Xie Shi turned around, and it was an old but still beautiful face, like a withered flower, even if it withered, it was much more beautiful than ordinary weeds.

"You were the young lady from last time?" She said slowly, not curious at all, as if she had lost interest in the world, "What are you going to do?"

The indifferent look on her face turned into a trace of doubt when she saw Lin Tianqing pull out the square handkerchief, "What?" Don't like this veil? I don't have any pastries to give you. ”

"Madame, take a good look at this veil, it's not the one you gave me." Lin Tianqing handed over the handkerchief, and Fu'an lit an oil lamp brought over at this time, and Xie happened to see the embroidery on the handkerchief clearly, "This, this is the embroidery when I was still in the boudoir, how can it be in the hands of this woman who has never known her life?" ’

Xie Shi suddenly got up from the bamboo chair, and the dilapidated chair let out a sigh of relief, "Where did you get this handkerchief, where did you get it?!" ”

Lin Tianqing held her hand that was trembling with excitement, and said gently: "It was given to me by Gongzi Xie, he is the doctor in my house, last time I got that handkerchief from you, and by chance, I found out that you were his mother." ”

Xie Shi's eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, and his face was incredulous, "He came to the capital?" Will Daddy let him come? Did he come to find me on purpose? ”

"Gongzi Xie really wants to come to you, but he doesn't want to reveal his identity, and because he is a man, he can't find a way to come in and see you, so I'll see you." Lin Tianqing's conversation is gentle and amiable, and she is really full of ladylike bearing.

Xie Shi's reaction was very strange, and after hearing Lin Tianqing say that everything was fine with Xie Lingtai, she returned to her initial calm.

Fu'an began to busily help Xie clean up the room, and she spread the futon she brought on Xie's bed.

"What are you doing here?" Xie Shi said in a panic: "When you came in this time, did you tell your sister-in-law that you came to see me?" ”

"Don't worry, madam, I'm borrowing someone else's name." Lin Tianqing hurriedly reassured: "I know Madame's concerns, don't worry." ”

Xie Shi raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Tianqing sincerely, only to see that her appearance was elegant, her skin was fair, her eyebrows were thin, her eyes were thin, and her nose was a little small.

"What is your relationship with my son?" Xie Shi was afraid that he would surprise her, so he deliberately slowed down his voice and said word by word.

Lin Tianqing didn't answer, but blushed, and the originally jade-like earlobes were even more red and dripping blood.

Xie didn't know whether to be surprised or happy, over the years, there was only a word of news about his son, and he didn't even know what he looked like now.

One of them blushed, the other stunned, and looked at each other speechlessly. Xie Shi walked to the brazier and squatted down, carefully moving the brazier away, "Fu'an, go and help Madame." ”

Before Fu'an could respond, he saw Xie waving his hand to show that he didn't need to. is such a light and clever action, and it also shows a bit of the grace of pampering in the past.

I saw Xie pick up the loose stone bricks under the brazier, revealing a small hole as wide and narrow as a palm, and Xie took out the object hidden inside, which turned out to be a scroll.

Lin Tianqing diligently helped her to get up, and there was a faint medicinal fragrance on Xie's body, which was very similar to Xie Lingtai's body, but it was slightly different.

Xie unfolded the scroll, only to see that a young man about eleven or twelve years old was drawn on the scroll, which was obviously what Xie Lingtai looked like when he was a teenager.

"It turns out that he was like this at that time, but he looked like a handsome little girl." Lin Tianqing smiled slightly, as if she was very familiar with Xie Lingtai.

"How is it different from what he looks like now?" Xie asked.

Lin Tianqing looked at it carefully and said, "Now it's just a little taller and a more square jaw, but it's no different." ”

"Oh? So if I could go out one day, I would still be able to recognize him at a glance? Xie's eyes were full of longing, but they were like a bubble that burst in an instant.

"Madam, excuse me for taking the liberty of the day, why can't you leave?" Lin Tianqing asked with a slight hesitation.

Xie Shi didn't have any special reaction, but said lightly: "How much do you know?" ”

"I only know you, your husband is Lord Yan of Dali Temple, and your maiden family is a branch of the Xie clan in the south, this vein is hidden in the mountains and forests, and no one knows its exact location." Lin Tianqing was afraid that he would displease Xie when he mentioned Lord Yan, but looking at Xie's expression, he only flashed his eyes slightly.

"I couldn't make peace with the Yan family, so I lived in Tong'an Hall. At that time, the Tong'an Hall was not as harsh as it is now, and I could still bring a maidservant, and the maidservant could go out to buy some odd and miscellaneous items. Therefore, she learned that my son was not doing well in the Yan family, so I repaired a letter and begged my father to come to the Yan family and take my son away. The Yan family found out that the child was missing, although they suspected that it was me, but there was no exact real evidence, but they just arrested my maid and tortured her, she was afraid that she would not be able to endure it, so she was killed before she was tortured. ”

Xie's tone was surprisingly calm, as if he was talking about something else. She turned around and took out another pearl hairpin from the small hole where she had just taken out the scroll, and said, "This is her pearl hairpin, please ask the girl to bring it to my son, so that I can erect a clothed mound for her, and write 'Suiqiu Wumei'." ”

Lin Tianqing took the pearl hairpin, saw Xie Shi turn around, and continued to the moldy wall: "Since then, I will never be able to leave this copper nunnery. ”
