Chapter 1 The Girl Buried in the Snow
At the beginning of the year, there were several snowfalls in Guangling City, and the snowflakes were flying and falling wantonly, and the momentum was overwhelming, as if they were going to change the world.
The snow is too heavy, and there are few people on the wide bluestone road in the east and west markets and north and south streets in the city.
Even if there are people, they are tightly wrapped from head to toe, showing only a pair of eyes to recognize the way, and the most lively places in the past are all quiet.
Finally, the snow stopped, although the north wind was still howling, with the slightly warm sun in the sky, Guangling City seemed to be alive again, and the streets and roads were gradually crowded with cars, horses and pedestrians.
Many of them are heading in one direction.
The huge Zhu Yao Dao was crowded by the carriages decorated with various family crest patterns on all sides.
In normal times, you can see so many carriages of the Maisons at the same time - except today.
People who stand on the side of the road and watch the grand occasion of the hundred cars know that this is because the eldest lady who fell into the snow and was buried in the Jiang family in Guangling City woke up.
The whereabouts of these carriages from Zhu Yao Road to the east of the city are therefore very easy to guess.
Although the Jiang family is not a powerful official family, nor is it a wealthy businessman.
But in this Guangling City, it is the object of all the families vying to make friends and win over.
Because the Jiang family is a family of medical saints used by the imperial family, one of the six meritorious families who followed Emperor Taizong to open the country.
The old man Jiang of this generation is deeply trusted by the current Queen Mother of the West Palace and the emperor, serving as the head of the Tai Hospital, holding the entire Chinese medicine library in his hands.
Old man Jiang used to serve the saint and the queen mother in Kyoto, and suddenly brought a large family to the house in Guangling City a few years ago.
Within a few days, those families in the city got the news from Kyoto that Old Man Jiang had been gifted by His Majesty's imperial pen and specially rewarded a mansion for him to bring his family to recuperate.
I'm going to go back in a year anyway.
And after all the news in Kyoto, I don't forget to mention my own family, either implicit or direct - it is important to be friendly with the Jiang family.
All the families hesitated for a while, quite bothered to guess the preferences of the old man of the Jiang family.
At the beginning, Master Wu, who was in the south of the city, brought boxes of expensive pharmaceutical storage utensils and confidently went to the Jiang family to visit.
All the gifts were accepted, and the Jiang family kept a meal, so happy that Master Wu had a pluice on his face for a few days, talking to his subordinates, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
A few days later, there was a show who came out early in the morning to set up a stall and saw that the carriage of the Qi family in the west of the city stopped in front of Jiangfu.
That night, I heard that the third master of the Qi family had set up several banquets, and he was in a good mood.
Then there are the Liu family, the Situ family, and the Dongqu family······ As if they had been discussed, the heads of the various families took turns to be elated for a few days.
It wasn't until several ladies got together and talked quietly that they knew that it was not only their father-in-law, but everyone was happy.
I don't know what the ladies said that night, but in short, there was a gap of more than half a month, and the heads of each family didn't want to see each other's faces.
Probably only the gangster Xiao Dezi, who was the temporary helper of the Jiang family, knew that all the family masters who came to visit with gifts ended up empty-handed.
However, they all received a medicinal meal.
The medicinal diet is said to prolong life, which was prepared by the old man Jiang himself, and it is secret, precious and abnormal, and has always only entertained distinguished guests.
But in the past few days of Xiao Dezi's helper, he felt that the food he received was not much different from the medicinal food he had seen from afar.
After the heads of the family suffered a big setback, they rested for about half a month, but when they were about to move but really couldn't guess what was going on with the old man Jiang, the eldest lady in the Jiang Mansion had an accident.
On the day when the snow was at its densest, she went out early to hang out in the house with hot springs given by God.
During this period, the maid who was close to her body went back to the room to fetch the hand stove, and then disappeared until almost evening, when she was found in the snow.
The servant originally wanted to sweep away a piece of snow to make the eldest lady happy, but he didn't expect that as soon as he swept away the snow, he found a white dazzling face with blue lips, which was exactly what he wanted to coax the happy Miss Jiang.
This is a terrible situation, the servant easily did not dare to touch her, and hurriedly called people.
Back and forth, Miss Jiang lay in the snow for a quarter of an hour in vain, and when she was picked up by a few sturdy servants, her breath was faint and almost broken.
However, Old Man Jiang was not at home that day, and he couldn't see his granddaughter in person, but fortunately, before Mrs. Jiang cried and fainted, she still remembered to invite the most famous doctor in Guangling City.
I don't know if it's because the old man is sincere and sincere, seeing that Miss Jiang, who can barely touch her pulse, woke up with Mrs. Jiang after she was fed Guyuan ginseng soup by the maid.
The old lady covered her chest, and didn't even care about wiping a lock of hair hanging from her forehead, so she rushed to Miss Jiang's bed with a deep and shallow foot, and directly ignored the other grandchildren waiting outside her room.
Seeing that her little granddaughter's face was pale and her lips were purple, the old lady wiped her tears again.
"Didn't you wake up······ Which one of the thousands of knives deceived my wife······"
After saying this, the three daughters-in-law standing next to each other all had the same expressions on their faces, but their thoughts were different.
The woman standing at the front was neatly dressed, about forty or seven years old, and she was the eldest lady.
She was already unhappy that the second lady rushed ahead of her to report Miss Jiang's awakening to the old lady, but at this time, she felt comfortable, and glanced at the second lady who was silent.
The third lady has always regarded herself as high and unwilling to mix with them, and it is the same at this time, except for superficial work, she has no intention of speaking at all.
The second lady finally said carefully: "Mother, where did you say, if the daughter-in-law has the slightest thought like this, it will be difficult to die." It's just that I heard Lang Zhong say that the eldest lady woke up, and he thought about his mother's suspense, so he was in a hurry to report to his mother. ”
The old lady snorted heavily, "I'm just such a heart, if I have three longs and two shorts, how can I live ······?"
When several ladies and other young masters and young ladies of the Jiang family who were standing outside the house heard this, they all felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, although they had long been accustomed to Mrs. Jiang's partiality, and now they heard her say it so clearly, they still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
The third lady bowed her head silently, as if she hadn't heard.
The eldest lady reacted, and just wanted to go up to comfort her, but was preempted by the second lady: "Mother rest assured, the eldest lady follows you all day long, and if you are blessed, you will definitely turn evil into good fortune." ”
At first, the old lady only looked at her granddaughter to wipe her tears, but suddenly found that her granddaughter's fingers pulled the corners of her clothes, and then her eyes trembled a few times, and her long eyelashes like a feather fan seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't open her eyes.
But if you move, after all, you are moving, which means that people are about to wake up.
The old lady hurriedly instructed her eldest daughter-in-law: "Old man, you ask someone to go and see, why hasn't the old lady come back?" His own granddaughter is not good, and he won't come back to me soon? In addition, call Lang Zhong to come in and hurry up. ”
The eldest lady turned around and left, and when she turned the screen to go out, she glanced back, and found that the old lady had moved her gaze again, and looked at the second lady and nodded slightly, obviously thinking that the comfort she had just given was very useful.
Her dignified face sank instantly.
Who doesn't know that the old lady loves her little granddaughter the most, and the fourth husband and wife are gone, and when they are brought back from swaddling clothes, they hold them like rare treasures.
For this reason, regardless of age, let the whole family treat the youngest granddaughter as the eldest daughter, and the eldest lady screamed all day long, occupying the name of her daughter's eldest daughter, so what should her daughter do?
It's such a scourge, she has been a blessing for so long, and finally she didn't know who threw her into the snow and buried it, why did God be so blind, and let her survive?
