Chapter VII

As soon as Lin Boqin walked on his front foot, Chu Cheng sat up with a carp.

She walked quickly to the desk full of official documents, and the original sea fishing documents issued by the imperial court were placed in the middle.

"Tsk, there are three points in the painting."

Chu Ji stared at the picture on the sea hunting warrant and touched her face. She grinded the pen, dotted a few moles on her face, and thickened her eyebrows, and now there was no three-point image.

After doing this, she hurriedly dried the ink, and when she heard movement outside the door, Chu Cheng immediately lay back on the soft couch.

As soon as he lay down, he saw Lin Boqin enter the house with an old doctor with a white beard.

"Doctor Chen, you can treat her quickly."

Dr. Chen stepped forward tremblingly with the medicine box, brushed his beard and asked, "Madam, what's wrong with it?" ”

Chu Cheng had just secretly done a "bad thing", and she was secretly happy in her heart, so she subconsciously said with a bitter face: "My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts so much......"

Lin Boqin on the side frowned and said, "Aren't you dizzy?" Why does your stomach hurt again? ”

With his reminder, Chu Cheng remembered that he was pretending to be dizzy just now, his expression was stunned, and then he hurriedly supported his forehead: "Yes, I was dizzy just now, and now I have a stomachache." Oops, I'm starting to get dizzy again. As she spoke, she peeked at Lin Boqin's expression through her fingers, and found that Lin Boqin didn't seem to believe it......

Dr. Chen grabbed Chu Hui's wrist, carefully checked the pulse, and then said suspiciously: "The pulse is neither floating nor sinking, neither big nor small, the rhythm is even, calm and gentle, fluent and powerful...... Couldn't be healthier. ”

was punctured as soon as she was exposed, Chu Ji was not easy to pretend again, she stood up from under the soft couch, smiled and said: "Doctor Chen is really a good doctor, by your pulse, my stomach doesn't hurt, my head doesn't get dizzy, it's all right!" ”

Dr. Chen let out an "ah" and didn't react.

Lin Boqin reacted.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he invited Dr. Chen out. When he came back, he glared at Chu Cheng with a serious face and asked, "What trick are you playing?" ”

Chu Ji was also quite embarrassed, but fortunately, she achieved her goal, so she had to blink her eyes facelessly and said, "Can't Lord Lin see it?" ”

Lin Boqin was silent.

Chu Cheng stepped forward, softened her tone, and said angrily: "I'm testing whether adults care about me......"

She spat out her last word very softly, and Lin Boqin even vaguely felt the wind she was blowing.

"You're just fooling around!"

Chu Cheng was reprimanded by him, and she was unhappy in her heart, so she turned around and distanced herself from him, pouting and saying, "Lord Lin is a smart person, don't you understand?" Although I have three chapters of the law with you, and I don't violate the river water when I enter the water on weekdays, if you really don't care about me, I will get seriously ill one day, and I will accidentally break my leg one day, and no one will care if I die! How can I rest assured that I will not tempt you? ”

Lin Boqin felt that he didn't seem to have something to say clearly to Chu Cheng.

After a while, he said slowly: "Yes, I don't like you." ”

Chu Cheng stared at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Since ancient times, marriage has been a major event, and you should listen to your parents. I made a marriage contract with you when I was young, and now I have fulfilled my promise, and I will not go back on it. You married into the Lin family, you are the wife of the Lin family, birth, old age, sickness and death are my responsibility, and I will not let you go. Lin Boqin's tone paused, and he looked at Chu Cheng deeply, "I hate people who deceive gods and ghosts the most in my life, so I don't want to see today's things again." ”

Everyone said so, and Chu Cheng didn't go down the steps anymore, so she didn't know how to lift.

So, Chu Cheng tried hard to save a smile and nodded at Lin Boqin: "Not next time." ”

Lin Boqin didn't look at her either, and turned around to leave.

Just now, Lin Boqin was anxious to ask her for a doctor, it was not a lie, and Chu Cheng was at fault in the end.

She was afraid that Lin Boqin would be angry, so she hurriedly caught up, and pulled Lin Boqin's sleeve in a hurry: "Lord Lin, don't be angry, it's not right for me to test you this time, your prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, don't go to my heart, I promise there will be no next time!" ”

Lin Boqin didn't want to deal with it, but he didn't think she would do this.

"Pulling and pulling in front of the public, what kind of system!" He was about to break Chu Cheng's hand, but he saw Fang Shuangping and Yang La walking over not far away.

When the two saw Lin Boqin and Chu Cheng move, they were stunned for a moment, and then said hello: "Lord and Mrs. are so interested." Fang Shuangping showed an intriguing smile, and Yang La tacitly turned his back.

Lin Boqin shook off Chu Cheng's hand and frowned, "Come here, I have something to discuss with you." He didn't look at Chu Cheng either, "You go back first." ”

Chu Hui's goal has been achieved today, and it is useless to rely on it and not leave.

Fang Shuangping was shrewd, and seeing that the atmosphere between the two didn't seem to be right, he said softly: "Madame has no acquaintances in Qinghe County, and it's boring to be idle on weekdays. I have a cousin who just married into the Deng family in Shuangyun Lane, which is very close to Lord Lin's mansion. If Madame does not dislike the nuisance, let my cousin talk more with Madame. ”

Chu Cheng only treated him politely, answered well, and left.

***

According to the rules, the bride will go back to visit her relatives after seven days, but Yunzhou is far away, so this matter will be stopped. Mrs. Lin is a cheerful person, and she consciously has a small family, so that Chu Cheng doesn't have to get up early to say goodbye.

Chu Ji hadn't seen Lin Boqin these days, and she planned to find a day to slip away, but it was not safe to go out of Qingyuan County. And there are a lot of delicious things in Qingyuan County, Chu Cheng lives in the Lin family, there is food, drink, and slave service, and no one cares about it, and the life is so comfortable. Over time, he lost the mind of hiding in Tibet and concentrated on playing the role of "Li Siniang".

In the afternoon of this day, as soon as Chu Cheng woke up, he heard a message from Mao Bi and Xi Dui, saying that Mrs. Lin would return to Fengshui in a few days and wanted Chu Cheng to accompany her to buy something on the street.

Chu Cheng was bored, so she promised to go out of the house with Mrs. Lin.

Along the way, Chu Cheng was afraid of saying too much and making too many mistakes, so she tried not to speak.

It was Mrs. Lin who told Chu Cheng a lot of things she didn't know.

Twenty years ago, Master Lin, who was transferred from the capital to Wangzhou, passed through Yunzhou with his wife and children, passing through Fushan Ridge on the way, encountering heavy rain, landslides, and the family rolled off the cliff. When he was dying, fortunately, Li Siniang's father passed by and found him, rescued him home, and used the coffin book he had saved for many years to ask them for a doctor. After the old man of the Lin family recovered from his injury, he found that getting along with Li Siniang's father was very speculative, and the two families became friends. Later, Mr. Lin came to Wangzhou to take up his post, and died soon after, Mrs. Lin did not understand literature and ink, and her correspondence with the Li family became less and less.

When Mrs. Lin said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Siniang, although we don't often contact your family, we haven't forgotten the kindness back then. ”

"Siniang saves."

Chu Cheng smiled slightly.

These days, according to her observations, the Lin family is a good family, and any ordinary woman marrying into the door is really blessed.

Mrs. Lin told Chu Cheng some things about Lin Boqin's childhood, because Master Lin died early, Lin Boqin was very mature at a young age. I don't like to chase and fight with my peers, but I like to lock myself in the house and read books. At the age of eighteen, he was admitted to the fame, ranked among the top three, and entered the Hanlin Academy for editing, which was very appreciated by the prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Hearing this, Chu Cheng was a little surprised: "He is a jinshi anyway, and Prime Minister Song still looks up to him, how can he be a county magistrate in Qingyuan County?" ”

Old Madam Lin sighed: "I was appointed as an official in Beijing, and Prime Minister Song also promoted him to be the chief of the Ministry of Officials. Later, it didn't take long to do it, because the performance of the subordinate officials was not satisfactory, so he stuffed him with silver and thought about getting by, and the man who was Birchin ...... It's exactly the same as his father, and he can't rub sand in his eyes. Not only did he confiscate the money, but he also reported the matter to the servant of the ministry. Who knew that the servant of the ministry had a great relationship with the official who bribed him, and this time, Bo Qin was ......"

Old Madam Lin didn't say it explicitly, Chu Cheng had already guessed it.

With a disgusting temperament like Lin Boqin, it's strange that he can mix in the officialdom of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Chu Ji thought so in her heart, but said: "I know that my husband is a good official who is honest and honest. ”

"Hey, it's easy to fold just now......" Old Madam Lin patted Chu Cheng's hand and said with emotion.

While the two were talking, Mrs. Lin bought some more fruits and cloth, and when she saw that it was getting dark, she prepared to go back. Passing by a jewelry pavilion, Old Madam Lin suddenly slowed down a little.

Chu Cheng observed the words and couldn't help asking, "Mother, do you want to go in and take a look?" ”

Old Madam Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Chu Cheng was strange in her heart, the old lady Lin was very frugal along the way, and it stands to reason that she wouldn't like these gold and silver jewelry, why did she suddenly want to visit the jewelry pavilion? Although she was puzzled, she didn't ask, and followed Mrs. Lin in, and immediately Xiao Er came out with a smiling face to greet her: "Do you want jade pearls, or gold, silver and gemstones?" ”

Old Madam Lin looked around and asked, "Is there a golden hairpin?" ”

Xiao Er replied: "Of course! Does the old lady want gild, pure gold, emerald, silky, or beaded? ”

"Take them all out and see."

Taking advantage of Xiao Er's going to get the goods, Mrs. Lin turned her head and said to Chu Shen: "I don't know anyone in Qingyuan County, except for coming here to see Boqin during the New Year's holidays, I live in Fengshui at other times. There are old neighbors I've been with for more than ten years, and I don't get bored on weekdays. She smiled at this, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more and more obvious, "This time I went back to Fengshui, I have an old friend who has a 60th birthday, so I want to give her some gold jewelry, and if I have beautiful jewelry later, you can also pick two pieces." Although the Lin family is not rich, they can still take out this little money. ”

After a while, Xiao Er held a tray of golden hairpins.

Chu Cheng is used to seeing those ingenious jewelry in the palace, and when she looks at these again, she doesn't bother to look at them. Except for one of them, the Luanfeng, pine, bamboo, plum, and golden hairpins are quite delicate to look at, and the others are too vulgar. Mrs. Lin quickly chose a flowing cloud hairpin and asked Chu Cheng what she wanted, Chu Cheng only shook her head, and finally couldn't refuse, so she chose a cheap gilt hairpin.

Xiao Er wrapped up his things, and Chu Cheng and Old Lady Lin were about to leave.

Just crossed the threshold, and saw that the light in front of me was dim, and someone greeted: "Yo, what kind of wind blew Mrs. Lin here?" ”

Chu Cheng looked up and saw that a middle-aged man wearing a royal blue silk robe with a big belly was greeting Old Madam Lin.

Old Madam Lin obviously knew this person, and she bowed slightly politely: "Shopkeeper Sun." ”

Shopkeeper Sun shook his hands with a smile and stepped forward to be courteous: "Old lady Lin, go upstairs and sit and drink tea?" ”

"Let's go back in a hurry and don't disturb Shopkeeper Sun's business."

Old Madam Lin obviously didn't want to say more to this surnamed Sun, so Chu Cheng hurriedly helped Old Madam Lin to leave. She didn't ask, anyway, Mrs. Lin would tell her after all.
