Chapter 37: Rumors Spread

Those who have just given birth should avoid cold and cold. However, Shui Qingqing, who worked hard to give birth for a day and a night, was already nine deaths, but less than half an hour after giving birth to Yun'er, she was knocked out and thrown into the deep lake to extinguish her mouth......

In September, the lake was frozen to the bone. The cold air soaked into her already damaged uterus, which made it even worse, and the uterus was so injured that it was difficult to have children......

These words, after the Sheng family rescued Shui Qingqing ashore, Imperial Doctor Sheng had also told her in private.

At that time, when she learned that it was difficult for her to conceive, Shui Qingqing was heartbroken, but she was even more determined to find her child.

Because, Yun'er...... It's the only child she'll ever have......

The scattered snowflakes fluttered in the sky and the earth again, and the slightest coldness fell on Mei Zijin's face, all the way to the depths of his body......

He was in a messy mood and walked forward, Lu Lin chased after him and said, "Zijin, although I don't know how her twin was damaged, but ...... I vaguely feel that she is not very simple......"

"From the inexplicable injuries on her body, and her insistence on entering the house...... Zijin, haven't you ever doubted it? So, don't think anything else about her – stay away from her! ”

In the more and more rapid snow, Mei Zijin turned his head coldly, his deep eyes were full of ice and snow, and he hooked his lips and sneered: "Lu Lin, your words today are too much!" ”

A friend for many years, even though Mei Zijin's expression was as indifferent as ever, Lu Lin still felt the heaviness of Mei Zijin's mood, and he didn't want to say anything, just changed the topic and said: "I heard that you want to use the witch doctor who will arrive in the capital in the near future as bait to lure those assassins into the bait?" I don't think it's appropriate to do this, in case ......"

After a pause, Lu Lin looked at Mei Zijin with a heavy face, and said worriedly: "If the cold and paralyzing poison in your body cannot be completely eliminated within a month, after the resurgence, this poison will remain in you for a lifetime - even if there is medicine to save your life, but for you, it will be ...... after all So, the witch doctor is vital to you, and you can't joke with your life! ”

The poison of paralysis, as the name suggests, is the cold poison that enters the body, paralyzing people's internal organs, and finally stagnation and death.

Although this poison will not kill people in a moment, it will slowly torture people to death, and it is really vicious!

Although Lu Lin tried his best to delay the time of Mei Zijin's poison and save his life, for a general who galloped on the battlefield, if he made his body stiff and unable to move in the future, or even become a walking corpse, it was undoubtedly the most cruel thing.

Mei Zijin's fist clenched slightly, his eyes were resolute, and he said coldly: "I have been chasing me back to the capital from the West Desert, disturbing the funeral of my eldest brother, and even directly chasing into the palace-if I can't find out the people behind the scenes as soon as possible, I will be more difficult to settle down than the poison of Zhonghan." ”

When something happened to the witch doctor, he was the only one who suffered.

But if the assassins are not eliminated, the entire Hou Mansion will be in danger!

How could Lu Lin not understand his thoughts, and even more so that he couldn't persuade him, but he was just curious, who had such a big grudge against him and kept pestering him?

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Lin asked unconsciously.

Mei Zijin also thought deeply about this question-

At the age of fourteen, he went to war with his father, and with a silver spear, he broke into the enemy camp alone, and for the first time, he put blood on his hands and beheaded the enemy general......

In the past ten years, he has been on the battlefield for many years, helping the Great Jin Dynasty to expand its territory and make great achievements.

And the heads of the enemies he took off on the battlefield are countless.

Therefore, his enemies are incalculable.

He had also been assassinated many times before. But this time, it made him feel different from the past.

The enemy who is seeking revenge this time does not seem to be a national hatred with him, but a private hatred......

The deep cold eyes sank, and Mei Zijin sneered coldly: "It doesn't matter who he is, whoever dares to provoke me Mei Zijin is killing himself!" ”

Seeing that he was so confident, Lu Lin's worries were put down-

As he himself said, those who dare to provoke him will not end well. Therefore, this time the trap, he must have an exquisite layout and is fully prepared!

While talking, the two of them had come to the outside of Bai Wei's courtyard.

From a distance, Mei Zijin saw Xia Chan who was carefully looking at the gate of the hospital, his face immediately sank, stopped, and asked Lu Lin to go in alone to see Yun'er, and he went to the study to wait for his results.

Lu Lin shook his head helplessly, so he had to enter the hospital alone.

On the other hand, Bai Lingwei, who heard Xia Chan's report and learned that Mei Zijin had come to Baiwei Courtyard, her depressed heart was alive again, and she hurriedly ripped off the bead hairpin, wrinkled the dress on her body, took Yun'er from the nurse's hand, hugged her into her arms, and leaned on the warm couch with her body, making a pitiful look like she was suffering and suffering in order to take care of Yun'er.

When she heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, Bai Lingwei's eyes were even more tearful, describing it as desolate, and her eyes looked at her son in her arms with a sad look, looking so pitiful.

When Lu Lin entered the house and saw all this, he wanted to laugh inexplicably.

And after Bai Lingwei saw that he was the only one entering the house, the whole person collapsed, and the expression on her face was even more embarrassed.

Lu Lin pretended not to see her fake appearance, seriously helped Yun'er check her pulse, re-prescribed the prescription, and soon withdrew from Baiwei Courtyard.

Bai Weiyuan, who came back to her senses, chased her out unwillingly, and asked Lu Lin to help her change the word with a sad face, and asked him to tell Mei Zijin that Xiao Shizi missed him very much......

Coming out of Baiwei Courtyard, Lu Lin went to Mei Zijin's study to look for him, but was stopped by Shui Qingqing halfway through.

After separating from Tang Qianqian, Shui Qingqing went back to listen to the Sheng Courtyard, thinking about Yun'er's illness, the more she thought about it, the more restless she became, so she brought a pot of wine made by herself, and waited outside Bai Wei Courtyard, waiting for Lu Lin to come out.

Looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, Lu Lin was startled, and when he saw that it was Shui Qingqing, his expression was slightly stunned, and he asked gently, "Is there something wrong with Miss Sheng looking for her?" ”

Shui Qingqing handed him the wine jug in his hand and said with a sneer: "Last time, I didn't even thank Dr. Lu for helping me see a doctor...... This is my own wine, and I will give it to the doctor to taste, as a token of my gratitude. ”

Lu Lin is a good wine, and his mouth is even more famous, and ordinary wine can't enter his mouth at all.

So when I heard that this wine was made by Shui Qingqing herself, Lu Lin was not too interested. Because the wine brewed by the general winery in the capital can't enter his mouth, he thinks that Shui Qingqing's family is an idle girl's house, and the brew is estimated to be the ordinary flower brew that the boudoir women are used to.

And this kind of flower brew, in his eyes, just has a little more flavor than water.

But on the face, Lu Lin still accepted it without losing face, and said with a smile: "The girl is polite." Master Hou and I are old friends, he asked me to help, I want to help, the girl doesn't need to remember. ”

Shui Qingqing's wine delivery is fake, and she wants to inquire if Yun'er's condition is true. So after seeing Lu Lin accept the wine, she pretended to be casual and said, "I saw that the doctor came out of Baiwei Courtyard." Doctor Lu just helped Xiao Shizi see a doctor - how is Xiao Shizi? Is it seriously ill? ”

Lu Lin is a shrewd person, after listening to her words, and then looking at the concern that could not be concealed in her expression, she suddenly understood that she was waiting here on purpose, not to bring wine to herself, but to inquire about Xiao Shizi's condition.

Looking at the tip of her frozen red nose, Lu Lin couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart-

It stands to reason that the person who is most concerned about Xiao Shizi's condition should be Bai Lingwei.

But from the time he helped Xiao Shizi diagnose his pulse and prescribe medicine to the time he left Bai Wei Hospital, Bai Lingwei had been distraught because he couldn't see Mei Zijin as he wished, and he didn't ask him about Xiao Shizi's condition at all.

But now, this person who has nothing to do with Xiao Shizi is waiting here in the wind and snow, just to ask himself about Xiao Shizi's condition.

Thinking that she had saved Xiao Shizi several times before, Lu Lin was puzzled, and still told Shui Qingqing about Yun'er's illness on her face.

Knowing that Yun'er was just a small cold and flu and was fine, Shui Qingqing's whole body was relieved, and after expressing her gratitude to Lu Lin again, she said goodbye and left......

Looking at the back of Shui Qingqing leaving, Lu Lin felt a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't understand it for a while......

Lu Lin carried the wine that Shui Qingqing gave him, and thought all the way to Mei Zijin's study.

When he went, Mei Zijin was already waiting outside the study early, and his expression could not hide his anxiety.

Seeing him come back, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Why did you go for so long?" Is Yun'er very sick? ”

Seeing Mei Zijin's anxious and worried look, Lu Lin thought about it all the way and finally solved his doubts.

It turned out that Shui Qingqing gave him a weird feeling that compared with Bai Lingwei, she was more like Xiao Shizi's mother......

As soon as this thought came out, Lu Lin was taken aback.

No, no, no, this idea is too ridiculous, Xiao Shizi is obviously Bai Lingwei's child, how can it be Sheng Yu's child......

He thought again, it must be that Sheng Yu who knows that it is difficult to have children, so he will have special care for Xiao Shizi, it must be like this......

Thinking like this, he finally dispelled the ridiculous thoughts that popped up in Lu Lin's heart.

He smiled at Mei Zijin, who looked anxious: "Your son is fine, it's just a little wind and cold, just take medicine and sleepβ€”I met the cousin in your house on the road, and she was grateful to me for helping her see a doctor last time, and specially braved the wind and snow to bring me her hand-brewed wine, so it was delayed for a little time." ”

After that, he lifted the wine jug in his hand and shook it proudly in front of Mei Zijin a few times, and then threw it into the hands of Sanshi on the side, and said with a smile: "I sent it to you!" ”

Hearing that Yun'er was fine, Mei Zijin's heart was relieved, and the expression on her face returned to her previous coldness.

But in the next breath, hearing that Lu Lin met Shui Qingqing on the road and received the wine she brewed herself, Mei Zijin's face sank again.

And when he heard Lu Lin transfer the wine to Sanshi, the brow he had just loosened was even more inaudible again.

Flicking his sleeves towards the study, Mei Zijin opened his mouth to send off the guests: "I won't leave you to eat at the house today." I'll have you a drink another day! ”

Lu Lin, who was inexplicably dried, chased into the house, "Hey, didn't you say before that you would leave me in the house for dinner at noon?" I've pushed off all the lunchtime dinners, why are you like this......"

"There's no good wine in the house to entertain you today!"

Mei Zijin sat behind the desk and replied without raising her head.

"There is no good wine in the Dingguo Marquis Mansion?! You're lying to kids! ”

Lu Lin was annoyed, "What about so many of your royal wines?" You don't drink much, why don't you give it to me? ”

Mei Zijin didn't bother to take care of him, and let Lu Lin play in front of him like a greedy child, but his mind drifted to other places.

Does she know how to make wine? But she made these wines alone after entering the Hou Mansion?

However, it has been so long since Lu Lin helped her see a doctor, and she didn't give him wine to thank him before, why did she suddenly remember it today?

Suddenly thinking of something in her heart, Mei Zijin suddenly asked Lu Lin: "In addition to sending you wine, does she have other things?" ”

Looking at Mei Zijin's serious expression, Lu Lin was about to open his mouth to ask why he cared so much about Shui Qingqing's matter, but he was already frightened by Mei Zijin's eye knife, so he had to swallow the words on his lips and tell him about Shui Qingqing's inquiry about Yun'er's condition.

Hearing this, Mei Zijin raised her eyebrows and locked deeply, and she was puzzled again-

Before, Shui Qingqing was kind to Yun'er, he thought she was trying to curry favor with Bai Lingwei. But now that the two have completely fallen out, why does she care so much about Yun'er?

In the next moment, almost like Lu Lin, Mei Zijin also thought of Shui Qingqing's twins being damaged and it was difficult to give birth again.

Could it be that she knows that it is difficult for her to have children again, so she will have special care for Yun'er? !

In her mind, she suddenly appeared the gentle appearance when she coaxed Yun'er to sleep under the lamp, her eyes were shining and doting on Yun'er in her arms, she was reluctant to take her eyes off, and she didn't even notice that she had been standing outside the window......

Perhaps, it is precisely because she likes children and can't have her own children, so she loves Yun'er as her own child......

A trace of distress welled up in the hard and cold atrium.

The memory is deepened, and Mei Zijin thinks that when she first met, she knelt in front of her eldest brother's mourning hall dressed in white; thought of the loneliness she felt when she looked at the eldest brother in the coffin and wept silently. and the sad look of her kneeling in the snow and crying when she was rejected from the World Security Hospital that day......

Before, he had always been suspicious and wary of her, but he had never put himself in her shoes.

Until this moment, Mei Zijin really began to feel sorry for the woman who wore linen and filial piety and married into the Hou Mansion.

What does it feel like to feel sorry for someone?

That is, looking at her and thinking of her, my heart will ache faintly, very ...... Uncomfortable......

And a man who feels sorry for a woman is different from his parents, children, and relatives who feel sorry for him.

Therefore, this feeling is strange and uncomfortable for Mei Zijin......

Mei Zijin was not used to this feeling, and she didn't want to let herself feel this way, because not only was she the one who almost married her eldest brother and become her sister-in-law, but she also had a suspicion with the assassin, and he shouldn't have pity for her and let her guard down......

Feeling unusually bored, Mei Zijin pushed away the official document in front of him and shouted to Sanshi outside: "Prepare food, serve wine!" ”

Hearing that the wine was going to be served, Lu Lin on the side swept away the previous unhappiness, and happily rushed to Sanshi outside the door and instructed: "Go to the wine cellar and bring the palace jade liquid that your master was rewarded in the palace, go quickly!" ”

Sanshi put down the flask in his hand and took the order.

Shui Qingqing's wine jug is the most commonly seen brown ceramic wine jug in the market, and now it is placed on the east windowsill by Sanshi, obviously not eye-catching, but always attracting Mei Zijin's eyes to look over.

He walked over, reached for the flask, and uncorked it.

In an instant, a rich and mellow aroma filled the entire study.

Lu Lin, who had been waiting for Sanshi to bring wine at the door, smelled the aroma of wine, and his eyes lit up instantly.

Turning around and pounced, Lu Lin took the wine jug from Mei Zijin's hand, couldn't wait to take a sip, and tasted it in his mouth for a while before swallowing it reluctantly, and his handsome face began to glow.

He smacked his lips and exclaimed, "This good wine...... I've never drunk it before – it's amazing! ”

Lu Lin, who is a good wine, has tasted all the best wine in the world, and is confident that there is no wine in the world that he has not drunk.

Now that he has met a good wine that he has never drunk, not only he is amazed, but even Mei Zijin can't help but look sideways.

At this moment, the next person brought wine glasses and dishes, Lu Lin couldn't wait to pour a glass of wine and handed it to Mei Zijin's hand, and said with an expectant face: "Taste it, see if you haven't drunk it?" ”

Mei Zijin took a sip of the wine glass, and only felt that the mellow aroma and richness of the wine in the mouth were very different from other liquors, and it was indeed a good wine that had never been seen before.

Surprised, he said indifferently: "It's not bad!" ”

In this way, when Sanshi moved the palace jade liquid from the wine cellar, Lu Lin didn't want it, only holding the wine pot that had obviously been transferred to Sanshi, and drank so much that he couldn't put down the cup, making Sanshi stand aside and cry and laugh.

The wine pot quickly bottomed out, but Lu Lin was far from being addicted, and he had already quietly started the idea of listening to Shengyuan in his heart, and he wanted to go to Shui Qingqing to ask for a few more pots of wine in the name of returning Xie Meijiu, and even wanted to ask her, what is the name of this good wine? How is she made......

In the end, of course, it didn't work out as he hoped.

When he was slightly drunk, he was forced out of the Hou Mansion by Mei Zijin and Sanshi......

On the other hand, Shui Qingqing, who learned that Yun'er was fine, finally put her mind at ease.

On the way back, she was relaxed, and finally found that from the time she returned to the Shengyuan from the Shi'an Academy, the people of the Hou Mansion who were cleaning the frost and new snow on the arch bridge had not left.

Looking at the bridge deck that was cleaned up, without half a piece of frost, and without even a piece of fresh snow, Shui Qingqing stopped and asked the subordinates guarding the bridge, and said softly: "The snow has been swept away, why are you still here?" ”

It was a young guy who was clearing the snow, and when he saw Shui Qingqing asking him, he blushed and said with a smile: "Master Hou specially instructed that this bridge deck is easy to freeze, let us be responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and clean this place several times a day, so as not to fall off the people who cross the bridge." So Steward Chen asked the little one to be responsible for the cleaning of the bridge. ”

"And today the heavy snow continues, and the small ones don't dare to slack off, so they just stay here and guard it, and sweep it away when they see it, so as not to freeze."

In the cold weather, half of the little girl's face exposed outside was frozen red, Shui Qingqing couldn't bear it, and even a trace of annoyance poured in-

The four aunts of the Hou Mansion all live on this side of the main courtyard, and only her courtyard is in the southwest corner.

So this arch bridge, only she and Xiaoxi walk every day.

I remembered that when I crossed the bridge this morning, Mei Zijin stayed under the bridge and didn't leaveβ€”could it be that he specially instructed his subordinates to clean the bridge because he saw the hardships when he crossed the bridge this morning?

As soon as this thought came out, Shui Qingqing was scared.

How could she have such a terrible thought?

Mei Zijin can't be good to her.

She couldn't forget the disgust and warning he had for herself when she first met Lingtang, and even more so the cruelty on his expression when he pushed her down the mountain beam......

Even after the Snow Wolf Dog incident and yesterday's incident in Baiwei Courtyard, he unexpectedly stood on her side, and she also insisted that everything he did was for the Hou Mansion.

And she, he just helped her by the way......

After cleaning the bridge deck, it was determined that it was good to walk too much, and there was no need to be afraid of falling off her hands and feet, but Shui Qingqing's mood was not relaxed, but heavy.

Bai Lingwei had already attacked herself because she doubted Mei Zijin's relationship with her. And Tang Qianqian also has something to say from time to time, and there are even more rumors in the Hou Mansion, if at this time, it is rumored that Mei Zijin specially sent someone to clean the bridge for her, I am afraid that she will be even more targeted by the public, and she will not be able to settle down in the Hou Mansion.

Standing in the middle of the high arch of the bridge, Shui Qingqing's eyes looked at the prosperous Hou Mansion in front of her, and her heart was cold to the bone-

She always remembered the purpose of her entry into the house. So, she doesn't have half of the feelings for the people here......

The next day, the heavy snow stopped, and the sun showed its face for the first time in a long time, shining warmly on people's bodies, which made people's moods brighter.

Early in the morning, Xiaoxi got up early and prepared to accompany Shui Qingqing to the hospital to ask for peace.

But today, Shui Qingqing was not in such a hurry to go out as usual.

She told Xiaoxi that she would not leave the hospital in the future, so she would stay in the Tingsheng Hospital to heal the wound on her shoulder.

Xiaoxi thought that she was afraid that the snow on the road would be difficult to walk like yesterday, so she couldn't help but say: "Miss, the snow on the road of the Death Nursing Home has been swept clean, and even the arch bridge that is the most difficult to walk has been swept clean, and there is no snow slag to see......

Shui Qingqing said indifferently: "It's almost the New Year soon, and there are more things in the old lady and the Hou Mansion." Every day we pass, it will only take up the old lady's time, so it is better to live quietly in our own place. ”

Xiaoxi vaguely felt something, not to mention, she had also heard the rumors in the house, and probably guessed Shui Qingqing's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel sad for her, and nodded obediently: "That's okay, the injury on Miss's shoulder has not been healed, take advantage of this to take care of it." ”

In this way, the master and servant lived behind closed doors, and they no longer got involved in the affairs of the Hou Mansion, and they didn't even show their faces.

Shui Qingqing only hopes that after doing this, everyone's eyes will no longer be on her, let alone involve the bad things in the Hou Mansion on herself.

But even so, those rumors and rumors have not stopped, and even overnight, there was a new thing about Mei Zijin sending Shui Qingqing's white jade box and sending someone to clear the snow for her......

And these rumors finally reached the eyes of the old lady, and even more into the ears of Shui Qingqing herself.

Xiaoxi went to the treasury to receive the things distributed by the New Year's Mansion as usual, and when she came back, she stood outside the house and didn't enter the house for a long time, wondering whether to tell Shui Qingqing the news she heard.

Shui Qingqing heard the sound of opening the courtyard door and knew that Xiaoxi was back, afraid that she would freeze, so she called her into the house to roast the fire.

Xiaoxi entered the house with something and saw Shui Qingqing sitting on the warm pit making all kinds of small animals out of cloth, with the white jade box containing mint paste in her hand.

After staring at the white jade box for a long time, Xiao Xi finally spoke.

"Miss, the slave knows who gave this white jade box."

Shocked when she heard this, Shui Qingqing looked up at her in surprise, and said excitedly: "Who sent it?" ”

Knowing who gave her the white jade box, she will be able to find her rouge box!

These days, Shui Qingqing has been looking for her rouge box in private, but there has been no clue.

Unexpectedly, just when she was about to give up, there was finally news.

At this moment, Shui Qingqing was very happy in her heart, her eyes were shining, and she looked at Xiaoxi expectantly.

Xiaoxi nervously rubbed her sleeves and whispered, "Miss, this white jade box...... It was sent by Master Hou! ”
