Chapter 167: Jin Bu Chang [For the gentle Tomie]
"Sister-in-law." Fu Ya gently held her shoulder.
Liang Yan nodded at her, "Thank you, I'm fine." ”
Fu Ya said in a low voice: "Don't take it to heart, you know in your heart what you want, just what you are chasing." No matter what others say, they can't influence you. ”
Liang Yan nodded, and her heart became relieved again, "God really treats me well, so that I can meet a dear friend like you!" ”
The two looked inside, and Zheng was still sitting and talking with Lin Sanniang. Liang Yan didn't want to see Gu Yan at this time, because of Gu Yan's words just now, she didn't even want to deal with Zheng. He pulled Fu Ya from the small door to the medicine garden next door.
In the medicine garden, Ah Chou was sitting in the courtyard grinding medicinal herbs, and Li Xuanyi had already left early in the morning.
Liang Yan hadn't had medicine for a long time, and when she saw Ah Chou grinding medicine, her hands naturally itched. Being an official or something, it's all an accident, and pharmaceuticals are her old business!
She lit the fire and began to boil the honey.
Fu Ya looked at the freshness, and was even more curious about how the medicine she took on weekdays was made, so she followed aside. The eldest lady of the dignified General's Mansion also started the rough work of adding to the fire. How could she have done this, and she was naturally disgraced and pushed aside by Liang Yan.
Looking at Liang Yan's familiar fire and boiling medicine, she admired it even more, "Sister, do you have anything else that you can't do?" It's really good to go to the court and enter the stove room! ”
Liang Yan was stunned when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing, this is a necessary skill for women in the 21st century, you can go to the hall and enter the kitchen!
While Liang Yan was boiling medicine and making medicines, Fu Ya also had a discussion with Ah Chou.
I don't know if Ah Chou let Fu Ya let her win, but I heard that after the two fought, Fu Ya was very dissatisfied and pestered Ah Chou to fight again. At noon, when the three of them had been laughing, Fu Yacai reluctantly left.
Liang Yan washed her hands stained with medicinal mud and returned to her home.
The Zheng family has already left, and Lin Sanniang is busy working in the stove.
Liang Yan leaned on the door frame and said: "A-Niang is hard-working, now our family should also invite a few domestic servants, come to a guest, A-Niang still has to entertain guests, and also take care of these, it is really inconvenient!" ”
Lin Sanniang glanced at her and smiled, "It's all up to you, you can just watch it." ”
Liang Yan nodded, but heard another knock on the door outside.
It's noon, who's going to come at this time?
really made Fu Ya right, she just returned to Beijing, she was happy to be praised and promoted by the saint, and the prince inserted that pole, has it really become a fragrant glutton?
Lin Sanniang also heard the knock on the door, her face was stunned for a while, and she raised her hand and stroked it on her apron, "I'll take a look." ”
Liang Yan waved her hand and said, "A-Niang is busy, I'll take a look." ”
If she comes to someone else's house at noon, she will really pick the time, if she looks at something unpleasant, she will send it away, so as not to disturb the cleanliness!
Liang Yan opened the door and saw that it was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old maid who knocked on the door, and there were two carriages parked under the steps at the door.
Next to the two carriages, there was a little maid standing in each of them, and the master in it did not get out of the carriage, but only asked the maid to call the door there.
"Who are you?" Liang Yan raised her eyebrows and asked.
The maid who knocked on the door smiled, "We are from the Lin family, and the second lady of the Lin family is here to visit you." ”
After the maid finished speaking, she turned around and returned to the carriage, and bowed inside the curtain of the car: "Second lady, people have come out." ”
There was a burst of laughter in the car, and then a woman's white and plump hand handed out the curtain of the door, supported by the maid, stepped on the stool, and got out of the carriage.
The woman was fair-skinned and plump, with a warm smile on her face, and glanced Liang Yan up and down, "Are you?" ”
"The Liang family's mother-in-law." Liang Yan said.
"Yo, you're the mother-in-law? Oh, I haven't seen you for many years, you must not remember me, I hugged you when you were a child! The woman smiled and stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Grown, grown!" Su Niang, come on, I've seen Sister A! ”
The woman said to the little girl who got out of the carriage after her.
The girl was beautiful and delicate, a little plump like her mother, and her fair face was full of shyness, and she looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old.
"Sister!" The girl said to Liang Yan.
Whether it was the woman who held her hand warmly and kindly, or the girl who called her sister, it made her feel very strange.
She didn't know what to call this sudden guest.
"Sister-in-law, who is it?" Lin Sanniang saw that Liang Yan went to open the door and didn't come back for so long, so she poked her head out of the stove and asked loudly.
"Little sister, it's me! It's the second sister-in-law! The woman who was holding Liang Yan's hand smiled and walked inside.
Liang Yan frowned, was dragged by her, and went inside.
When Lin Sanniang heard this, she walked out of the stove and saw the woman, her face was very stunned for a while, and then she said, "Second, second sister-in-law!" ”
The second lady of the Lin family immediately made a straight face, and pretended to be serious: "What is the second sister-in-law called, they are all a family, just call the second sister-in-law!" ”
Lin Sanniang was stunned twice, and then shouted in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law!" ”
"Eh, that's right!" The second lady of the Lin family looked at the apron on her body and the spatula in her hand, and stepped forward to take the spatula, "What are you doing here?" In the past, the second uncle held the pearl in his hand, in addition to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, what else have you touched with this hand? ”
Lin Sanniang was held by her, her face was very uncomfortable for a while, she pulled her hand behind her back, "The second sister-in-law will sit in the room first, and the sister-in-law will go to make tea, and I will come soon." ”
The second lady of the Lin family did not follow, "My sister-in-law is now promising, but she had a bad time in the past, and now she shouldn't let you suffer this grievance!" What's more, I also found you, although the second uncle is gone, our own family will naturally take care of you, and we can't let you suffer this grievance. ”
The second lady of the Lin family glanced at the maid who followed behind her, "You go!" ”
The maid of the Lin family immediately stepped forward to take the spatula, took off the apron on Lin Sanniang's body, and bent over into the stove.
The second lady of the Lin family turned to take Lin Sanniang's hand, "Let them get busy, let's go, let's talk for a while!" I haven't seen you for many years, I think when you left, you weren't as big as your concubine, right? It's about the same age as Su Niang......"
The second lady of the Lin family choked up as she said, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, "The second uncle hurt you the most back then, if it weren't for the second uncle in Lingnan and never came back...... When I see you now, I don't know how distressed I should be......"
Her words also brought Lin Sanniang's tears out.
The second uncle in the mouth of the second wife of the Lin family is Lin Sanniang's father, the master of Songyang Academy back then.
Liang Yan followed them and went to the main room.
Lin Susu followed behind her, looking up at her curiously from time to time, she just didn't know.
Entering the upper room, Liang Yan helped set up a table and made tea.
Second Mrs. Lin said: "They are young and impatient, let's mention these old things, tell them to go outside to play, I think of the days I lived in Lingnan...... I ...... in my heart."
Second Mrs. Lin said, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Lin Sanniang's face was also full of sadness, when the whole family was exiled to Lingnan, she had already eloped with Liang Hong, started another family, and had children. Although she was not implicated, she lost her father who valued her most and her mother who loved her the most in that exile, and her life fell into endless embarrassment.
She straightened up and said, "Sister-in-law, you take Su Su to sit in the verandah for a while!" ”
Second Mrs. Lin couldn't directly instruct Liang Yan, but Lin Sanniang's words Liang Yan couldn't help but listen.
Although she was very curious, what the Lin family suddenly appeared at this time, but she didn't want to disobey Lin Sanniang, and in front of the Lin family, she had to save enough face for Lin Sanniang!
She got up and grabbed Lin Susu's hand: "Cousin, how many Panax notoginseng plants have been planted outside our verandah, shall I take you to see them?" ”
Lin Susu nodded busily and got up with her to leave.
Liang Yan remembered very well that when they had just left the Gu family, Lin Sanniang had mentioned it. Her uncle has returned to the capital from Lingnan and is a small Beijing official in the capital. She also wrote a letter to her brother in Songyang Academy, Liang Yan's maternal uncle, wanting to let the uncle's family in Beijing take care of them through him.
After all, Lin Sanniang eloped away at the beginning, and the uncle's family may not be treated to her.
Liang Yan stopped Lin Sanniang because she didn't like the feeling of sending people under the fence, Lin Sanniang listened to her persuasion, and saw that she was indeed capable and bought a house, so she didn't mention it again.
The letter she wrote to her brother in Songyang Academy was also unanswered.
Why did the Lin family take the initiative to come to the door today? If it was said that the Lin family didn't know that Lin Sanniang was in the capital before, Liang Yan didn't believe it. When Lin Sanniang hit the drum and sued Liang Hong for stopping his wife and marrying another, it was quite a sensation in the capital.
There are people in the Lin family who are officials in the court, so it is impossible not to know about this.
If you really don't mind Lin Sanniang and want to help her, then it's time to stand up.
The Lin family didn't, and they didn't appear until she came back from the frontier. This mind is a little impure.
Liang Yan pulled Lin Susu to sit down in the verandah, pointed to the land outside the verandah, and said with a smile: "Look at that is Sanqi, don't look at it inconspicuous, it also has a name called 'gold does not change', which is to describe its preciousness." ”
When Lin Susu heard this, he was very surprised, "Won't the gold be exchanged?" ”
Liang Yan nodded and smiled, "Yes, the gold will not be changed." It can stop bleeding, disperse blood and fix pain, and if the golden blade arrow wound falls and the cane sores do not stop bleeding, chew it and smear it, or twist it without mixing it, and the blood stops. Once for the army, Jin Chuang's medicine was created, and Yun had miraculous achievements. ”
"Is that really so powerful? Look at it, it's like grass, nothing special? Lin Susu asked in surprise.
Liang Yan nodded, "Yes, when people haven't discovered its usefulness, they will only think that it is just ordinary grass." Ignore it, don't cherish it. When you find out what you can do, you will flock to it. ”
Lin Susu stared at a pair of innocent eyes, nodded suddenly, and didn't hear Liang Yan's pun at all.
Liang Yan didn't say anything, smiled lightly, looked at the maid behind Lin Susu, and said, "I don't know if the kitchen is ready, why don't we go and see?" ”
Lin Susu was about to agree, but the maid hurriedly said, "Don't bother the two young ladies, go and see the maid." ”
