Chapter 97
Xue Ying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then thought of what had happened to her daughter these days, and gradually frowned. forgot about her daughter's marriage for a while, Xue Ying poured hot water on her daughter while quietly looking her up and down.
This child was raised in the boudoir, and by the spring of this year, he was still delicate and weak, and he was quiet, how could he be like a different person after a serious illness? But now it's good, not only did he drive away the Su mother and daughter, but he also knew how to practice medicine to save people.
Where did she learn all this medical skill? Could it be that she worshipped a master as a teacher behind her back? This child is really old now, and she has some thoughts and will never tell her anymore.
Thinking of this, she thought of her daughter's upcoming marriage, and her mood fell to the bottom for a while.
Rushing back to the capital in the rain, even if he was sitting in the carriage, he was covered in rain. After taking a comfortable bath, Lin Wan changed into a dress made for her by her mother. It is the delicate yellow she likes, it is not complicated, it is a simple style, the best materials, and it is hand-sewn by her mother, and she feels really beautiful when she wears it.
Xue Ying straightened the corners of her daughter's clothes, let her daughter lie on her legs reflexively, wiped her daughter's hair with a dry towel, and then hugged her daughter again with red circles under her eyes.
Although Lin Wan is reluctant to give up to his mother, after all, this is not the time to part, besides, His Majesty is only a verbal promise at this moment, and has not yet issued a holy decree to the Gui'an Hou Mansion. Even if His Majesty decrees a marriage, if King Yi and his wife do not agree, this matter will be difficult to do.
The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, even if the monarch decrees the marriage, it cannot be difficult for the two families.
Marriage is the best of two families, if you hate because of this, it is better not to get married.
However, Lin Wan is not very worried, although Princess Yi doesn't like herself, but in her previous life, her second daughter could marry to King Yi's mansion, and now, I'm afraid that Zhao Yong also has a way to persuade King Yi and his wife. What's more, with Concubine Zhuang Shu here, this matter is even easier to handle. Thinking of Concubine Zhuang Shu, Lin Wan frowned, the poison on the concubine's body, she should have to think about it.
The mother and daughter talked to themselves in the room for a while, and Xue Ying took Lin Wan to the room to ask the old lady to go.
Mrs. Lin was talking with her niece and granddaughter Song Siyan in a place, and when she heard the girl tell her that the second wife and the third girl were coming, the old lady immediately gave Song Siyan a look, and then both of them sat up straight.
Seeing the second daughter-in-law holding the hand of the third girl in, the old lady only felt that her eyes lit up instantly, and the mother and daughter stood together, really a pair of sisters. I can't help but feel a little jealous in my heart, some people just have a good fate, with a peerless appearance, and a strong family background, they pity her Song family, just because they are from an ordinary background, it is so difficult to say that they are good relatives.
Qingcheng's child was disobedient, it was his own doing, fortunately, she still has Siyan, but she has to tell Siyan about her family. If Siyan marries decently, then she will be worthy of her dead brother. Thinking of this, the smile on the old lady's face became even more, and she sat up straight.
After ordering someone to take a seat for the Xue family, Mrs. Lin smiled at Lin Wan and beckoned: "Three girls, don't stick to your mother all the time, come to your grandmother and let your grandmother take a good look at you." When Lin Wan got closer, the old lady's eyes suddenly turned red, and she hugged Lin Wan in her arms, crying, "You have only been away for a few days, how can you lose weight like this, you must be tired and tired." ”
Song Siyan persuaded on the side: "Grandma, you are thin, these days I think about Cousin Wan day and night, it's strange if you don't lose weight." As she spoke, she gradually began to sob, then quietly pulled out her handkerchief and continued with tears in her eyes, "Cousin Wan, you are finally back, my aunt and grandmother don't think about tea and food these days, you see, the old people have lost weight now." ”
Lin Wan'an quietly listened to the old man and the young man acting, and felt funny in her heart, but the old man in front of her was her elder, and the elders missed her, and she couldn't ignore it.
Wan'er also missed her grandmother, no, she rushed back in the heavy rain. She stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the old lady, raised her palm-sized little face and said, "I was so busy all the way that my whole body was soaked, and I went home and changed into clean clothes, so I hurried over to say goodbye to my grandmother." ”
The two ancestors and grandsons have already torn their faces in secret, and everyone present knows about it. Now they are all acting, saying these words, let alone others, even the two of them feel uncomfortable listening to themselves. In short, Lin Wan's heart is in response, she has always had clear grievances now, whoever treats her well, she will repay her, but whoever wants to harm her, she will no longer be bullied and slaughtered like in her previous life.
The old lady is old and thick-skinned, and she has been holding Lin Wan tightly in her arms.
"Grandmother heard that the letter sent by your grandfather arrived early in the morning. The old lady smiled kindly, her eyes were dry, and there was no tears at all, "You girl is really, how good it is to marry in the capital, no matter which cousin you marry, your grandmother will be able to take care of you in the future." But now it's good, it was actually married by His Majesty, Yizhou is far away from Beijing, if someone in your mother-in-law's family bullies you in the future, there is no place for you to complain, how can grandmother put her mind at ease. ”
After that, he hugged Lin Wan tighter again, and called out in his mouth.
Lin Wan knew that the old lady was hypocritical, so listening to such words, she really felt that her heart was echoing, and she could only pout her lips helplessly.
Mrs. Lin only said to herself: "Of the four sisters, you are the third, but you are the first to decide on the family affairs." She raised her hand to wipe away her old tears, and grabbed Song Siyan's hand again, "And your cousin Siyan, it's been a while since she arrived in the capital, but now let alone set a decent family business, and there is no one who even comes to propose marriage." ”
She sighed deeply and said, "Wanwan, grandmother knows that you have always been an obedient and sensible good boy. In the future, walk around with your cousin more, not to mention that you can ask her to marry the son of a prince, but fortunately, she must also be the son of an official family. Siyan has nothing to say about her character and appearance, but her family history owes a little, if she can often play with you, her grandmother will not worry about her family. ”
As soon as Lin Wan entered the door and saw the old and young people treating themselves so abnormally affectionately, she vaguely guessed what was going on, the old lady's heart was biased towards her mother's family, and now Song Qingcheng's family affairs are out of play, she must put all her thoughts on Song Siyan.
And the last tea party also made her old man understand that it was definitely not good for her to work against the Xue family. The old lady can see it now, and she thinks that she has changed her strategy, and no longer takes the route of "working against the Xue family", but plans to hug the Xue family's big tree tightly and fulfill her wish.
Lin Wan thought for a moment in his heart, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it is not difficult for grandmother to let Cousin Song gain a good reputation in the capital, I have a ready-made method now, just see if Cousin Song can eat and work hard." ”
The old lady's eyes lit up and asked, "Wan girl, what do you do?"
Lin Wan said: "I think my grandmother also heard at this moment that there was an epidemic outside the city, and half of the people in some villages died overnight. This time it is the rainy season again, and it has been raining for days, and I am afraid that this epidemic will not end so soon. Therefore, on the way back, the granddaughter had already thought about it, and planned to take over a medical clinic in the city, even if she couldn't save the people from the dire situation, she could also give porridge and medicine to prevent the people from living so painfully. ”
When Mrs. Lin heard this, her face darkened, and she only felt bad in her heart.
"You are a boudoir girl, and you are waiting to be married, where can you do those things that show your head?" the old lady immediately straightened her face and shook her head like a rattle playing with a child, "If this is spread out, won't it ruin the door of our Hou Mansion, no, grandmother will definitely not agree." ”
Lin Wan said: "If you don't even have your life, what else do you want to do with such an ethereal thing?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Wan stood up, sat on the side of the old lady, and then said: "This epidemic is menacing, although we live in the capital, the water and vegetables we eat are all connected to the outside of the city." Did my grandmother think that if she stayed at home, she would be fine? If the plague is not good, we should be more fearful, do some good deeds and accumulate some virtue, and when the Buddha sees it, he will naturally bless us. ”
The better a person is, the more afraid of death, hearing what Lin Wan said, the old lady was a little moved.
Thinking again, this girl doesn't know where she learned the medical skills, but she can save people several times, maybe she already has a prescription for treating the epidemic in her heart this time. Yan Yatou followed her, just to suffer some hardships, and when the time comes, it will be a good thing to save some fame.
"It's not unreasonable to hear you say this, but Yan Yatou followed, just for show, you just picked up some light work for her to do. Or just let her stay there as an ornament, her delicate body, where can she do the physical work of grabbing medicine and taking medicine, don't make those delicate hands rough. Mrs. Lin sat upright, counted with her fingers, and then instructed, "Wan girl, you have to remember it." ”
Lin Wan said unceremoniously: "Old lady, my granddaughter is here to open a medical hall and ask for helpers, but not to ask the eldest lady to supervise my work." She smiled on her face, but her tone became sour, "Old lady, you want Cousin Song to have a good reputation, and you want her to do a more comfortable job, where can there be such a good thing in this world? ”
Song Siyan didn't expect her to say this, her face changed as soon as she brushed it, and her face was red and white for a while, which was very exciting.
Mrs. Lin was also slapped invisibly, her shriveled mouth pursed, and she was stunned for a while, and then she gritted her teeth and said: "As long as it's for the good of Yan Ya, it doesn't hurt to suffer a little." He also instructed Song Siyan, "When you were at home before, you must have worked a lot, and helping in the hospital is much happier than farming." Let's grit our teeth and it's over, you know?"
Since calling the capital to join the Lin family, Song Siyan has lived the same comfortable life as the eldest lady in Fuzhong, this kind of comfortable life has long been used to, and if she goes to endure hardships, where can she stand it? She didn't want to show her face, she was only willing to follow the old lady to attend some banquets of all sizes, get to know a few sisters with some status, marry a good family background, and live the life of a rich family, this is what she yearns for.
Now he asked her to follow her to the hospital as a partner, and asked her to show up at the family of a girl who had not yet talked about marriage, which was simply an insult to her.
Lin Wan glanced at Song Siyan coldly, she didn't care about her, whether she loved it or not, and she didn't worry if she didn't make trouble.
If she really dared to follow, she didn't expect to be so comfortable at home, wanting to get benefits, but refusing to endure hardships, how could she do it?
At the old lady's place, Xue Ying didn't say much, but after leaving the room this time, Xue Ying began to interrogate her daughter: "What you said to the old lady is true? Wanwan, don't scare your mother, you are usually delicate and expensive, how can you go to that kind of place to do such a thing, your mother is not allowed." ”
It was still raining heavily, and the painting hall held up a large buttercloth umbrella to cover Lin Wan's mother and daughter from the wind and rain.
Lin Wan was next to her mother and said quite seriously: "What my daughter said is true, don't worry about my mother, nothing will go wrong." "Before I got out of the second door, I saw Wang'er, the little guy in front of Second Master Lin, running in the rain, and Wang'er was scurrying like a headless fly at first, but after seeing Lin Wan's mother and daughter, he wanted to slip away.
Xue Ying scolded with a handsome face: "Bold minion! When you see your master, you don't know the rules of greeting, who to learn from!"
Wang'er turned around and came back, bent over and said, "Madam, little ......" He slurred, and before he finished speaking, Xue Ying's dowry mother came running in the rain.
"Madam, the master took the initiative to bring Aunt Su's mother and daughter back, and now they are almost at the door. ”
Xue Ying's beautiful eyes were round, she had been unhappy with Lin Chengyin since she had been looking at her for a long time, and she naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity this time. It's strange to say that when he liked him before, no matter how mean he was to himself, it was still fragrant. Now that I can't look at it, I just hate it in my heart, and I can't wait to fight with him every day.
"You take a few more people to the door to stop you, don't allow the mother and daughter to go back to the house, if anyone who doesn't have long eyes dares to stop you, you can write down the names one by one!"
