Chapter 316: Pawn (1)
Chapter 316 The 'spring' season is suitable for ping, Ran Yan made a few fish dishes, and some refreshing side dishes. Not to mention the taste, Ran Yan's knife skills alone are breathtaking... The naked eye can barely tell the difference between the thickness of each fillet.
Liu Qingsong tasted the familiar taste of braised fish, and tears welled up uncontrollably, but the chopsticks did not stop.
This appearance made Xiao Song stunned for a long time.
Xiao Song has known Liu Qingsong for more than ten years, he has always been a hanger, no matter how others are angry with him, and how anxious others are, he always has a smiling face, which makes people can't help but want to beat him, but at this moment, this cowardice makes people feel... โฆยทยท It has to be beaten.
Ran Yan lowered his eyes and ate quietly, and he didn't look at him.
But Xiao Song's original warm and cheerful meal after being married was saddened by Liu Qingsong's crying, and he was extremely depressed, looking at his eyes can kill.
After the meal, Liu Qingsong's mood returned to normal, but Xiao Song couldn't wait to order someone to blow him away.
Ran Yan understands that Liu Qingsong is a person who is extremely home-loving, even if he has been in Datang for more than ten years, he can't soothe the longing for his hometown in his heart. No matter how good Datang is and how smooth the 'mix' is, as long as there is a chance to let Liu Qingsong wear it back now, he will not hesitate at all.
In fact, why doesn't Ran Yan want to go back to a familiar place?
"Ma'am?" Xiao Song sat down beside her at some point, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and asked softly, "What are you thinking?" โ
Ran Yan shook her head, she really wanted to find someone to talk to and relieve the depression in her heart, but Liu Qingsong was unreliable, and she didn't know how to open these words to Xiao Song.
Xiao Song dropped a 'kiss' on her forehead, and neither of them spoke. Ran Yan let him take his hand and walk to the 'flower' garden outside.
The pink 'color' peony 'medicine' in the garden blooms like smoke, and it looks particularly good against the background of the green leaves, the white moon season is like fat, and the fiery red kapok 'flower' buds are full of branches.
In March, the peach gradually turned into 'spring' mud.
The weather in Chang'an is getting hotter and hotter, and it is only in April, and you can wear light yarn. Xiao Songben took advantage of the wedding to take Ran Yan to Guanshan, but the plan could not catch up with the change - Mrs. Xiao fell ill.
As a granddaughter-in-law, Ran Yan understands medical skills, so she naturally stayed in front of the old lady's bed every day, and almost stayed in the old house, but Xiao Song was left out in the cold.
But Xiao Song has no complaints, he is considered to have been raised by Mrs. Xiao single-handedly, and his relationship with her is more intimate than that of ordinary grandchildren.
Liu Qingsong also moved into the old house, taking care of Mrs. Xiao with her clothes untied, and a group of imperial doctors came to diagnose the disease in turn, but Mrs. Xiao's illness was up and down and there was no certainty, but Ran Yan knew in her heart that she was so old that her illness was like a landslide, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to get better.
When the family heard that Mrs. Xiao was seriously ill and got the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, they immediately rushed to Chang'an to almost all the children, grandchildren, and grandchildren, as well as the daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law, all arrived in Chang'an at the end of April.
Song Guogong, who had just left, also took leave from the court and rushed back to fulfill his filial piety.
At the same time, Yu Shinan, who was lingering on the sickbed, was also approaching, and the two princesses in the palace had a seizure, and a group of old men who were busy with the Imperial Medical Department were running around all day without touching the ground, and there were almost only the "medicine" children who picked up "medicine" in the huge Imperial Medical Department.
On May 2, the saint visited Mrs. Xiao in person, and on May 3, he went to Yu Shinan Mansion to visit.
With the careful care of many top doctors in Datang, Mrs. Xiao's condition was temporarily stabilized, and by the end of May, she gradually had some 'color', and occasionally collapsed to bask in the sun.
However, Yu Shinan's condition deteriorated irreversibly, and he died in Chang'an on May 25. The scholar cried bitterly, and the cry resounded throughout Chang'an City.
"Yu Yongxing is gone?" Mrs. Xiao sat on the round-waisted bearded 'bed' under the porch and asked Ran Yan slowly.
Yu Shinan was named the son of Yongxing County, so the world often called him Yu Yongxing.
"Hmm." Ran Yan doesn't like to fool people, besides, the old lady is not so easy to fool.
Mrs. Xiao quietly looked at the big red peony in the courtyard, and only took out a peach wood comb from her arms for a long time, and looked at it for a long time before handing it to Ran Yan, "Come, help me comb my hair." โ
Ran Yan took the wooden comb with both hands, untied Mrs. Xiao's long snow-white hair, and gently combed it with the comb.
"When I was young, Emperor Xiaoming liked my hair the most, and he said that it was easier to 'touch' than fine silk, and no gold or silver was worthy of it. So he made this wooden comb and gave it to me. Mrs. Xiao had a smile on her face, lowered her eyes, and said, "I said, the hair that is not worthy of gold and silver, and the wooden comb sends me?" And he said, This comb is my heart for thee alone. โ
Ran Yan also laughed, daring to love the Xiao family since their ancestors had done carpenter work, no wonder Xiao Song carved a peach 'flower' hairpin vividly, "Grandmother's hair is still easier to 'touch' than silk, and it is not effortless to comb it." โ
"You followed Jiu'er, and you actually learned to coax people." Mrs. Xiao smiled.
Ran Yan also did not deny that Mrs. Xiao's hair was much better than that of ordinary old people, but it was inevitably not as good as when she was young.
"Song'er, take my Qidi cloud embroidery curved skirt." Mrs. Xiao said.
"Mrs. Tai, Dr. Liu has gone to boil the 'medicine', and the slave will help you get it." Liang'er, the 'waiter' on the side, bowed and said.
Mrs. Xiao bowed her head slightly.
"Madame, the slave will comb your hair." Ling Xiang saw that Mrs. Xiao was in good spirits, so she asked out loud.
Ling Xiang is thirty-eight years old this year, originally Queen Xiao was a 'servant' maid, and later Yang Guang was killed by Yu Wenhua and taken away by Empress Xiao's rebels, and then was occupied by Dou Jiande, and later was taken away by Luo Khan, and changed a few places, Ling Xiang was given to Mrs. Xiao when Empress Xiao went to the Turks. is clever and quite popular with Mrs. Xiao.
"Okay." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
Ling Xiang took the comb and carefully combed Mrs. Xiao's hair into a complicated bun. This kind of bun is not the popular high bun in the Tang Dynasty, but it also looks graceful and elegant, without any gold and silver ornaments on the hair, only a white 'jade' cloud hairpin.
Liang'er took out a black 'color' wide-sleeved 'cross' collar curly skirt, such a solemn 'color' style, more like the clothes of the Han Dynasty, which is very different from all the above in the Tang Dynasty.
Ling Shu and Ran Yan dressed Mrs. Xiao and put them on.
"I've gained so much weight." Mrs. Xiao looked at the dress that she would be able to wear and smiled.
Ling Xiang covered her mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Tai is not fat, look at the waist of the slave maid, it is almost a tube." โ
Maybe it was because she had come into contact with too many dead people, and Ran Yan was extremely sensitive to death, especially when she looked at Mrs. Xiao, who was full of spirits, she suddenly had some bad premonitions in her heart, so she turned around and quietly ordered the 'waiter' on the side to invite Xiao Song and Liu Qingsong.
Mrs. Xiao knelt on Hu's bed, took a deep breath, and said, "Ling Xiang, I have a box of golden silk nanmu in my house, you 'take time' to let Jiu'er's mother send it to Ah Fen." โ
Ah Fen is the 'milk' name of Queen Xiao.
