"Everyone in the world thinks that taking cinnabar can lead to immortality, but I thought it was poison. Many people have died from taking elixirs over the years." Mr. Shui raised his head from a worn book and looked at it seriously.
Lin Jinrong.
Lin Jinrong didn't know how to answer, so he stood aside with his head lowered and responded in a low voice: "Sir, he knows medicine best and is always right."
Mr. Shui was silent for a moment and said, "That medicine contains cinnabar."
Lin Jinrong's hands tightened unconsciously, and he forced a smile and said: "Since you made the medicine and sold it, you won't harm anyone."
Mr. Shui nodded: "That's natural. As long as you use it in the right amount, you won't die. But poison is poison, and it's not good if it accumulates over time. That's why I made it more expensive than gold, so that people don't eat more."
Lin Jinrong let out a breath. Then he heard Mr. Shui say: "I haven't done much of this stuff before, and I don't have it in my hands now, and I don't plan to do it again. I don't know how you got these things before.
, I don’t know why you want to use it. But I think you always have your reasons."
Lin Jinrong discovered his purpose and refused, so he just remained silent.
Mr. Shui didn't intend to listen to her secrets, so he just continued: "You haven't eaten much, so I'll clean it up for you this time. In the future, don't take this medicine if you can. It's ruined."
It’s not worth sacrificing your health for a lifetime, I’m just afraid you will regret it in the future.”
Lin Jinrong felt a slight chill slowly creeping up from the bottom of his heart. He looked up at Guiyuan and Dou'er who were standing far away from the window, and whispered with a sour nose: "Sir, do you have any other ideas?"
Mr. Shui Lao didn't speak for a long time, but he didn't look at Lin Jinrong with his bright eyes, which made people embarrassed. He only stared at his medical book that had been paged with corners down, as if he was looking at it very seriously.
Just when Lin Jinrong thought he wouldn't speak and was about to stand up and leave, he heard his voice say in a very low voice: "There are many ways, but this is the simplest and most effective one. Otherwise, just count the days and avoid the months."
During those days."
Even though the other party was a respected old doctor who was nearly 70 years old, and his words were very cryptic, but he took the initiative to ask him about it, Lin Jinrong still felt that his face was getting hot, and he didn't dare to look away at all, he just stared at it.
Guiyuan's back in the distance outside the window whispered: "Such a thank you sir, I'll take my leave now."
Mr. Shui nodded slightly: "I won't send it to you."
Lin Jinrong saluted and turned around silently to go out. Suddenly, he heard Mr. Shui whisper from behind: "You are not much older than my great-granddaughter. You have always been respected by you mother and daughter. I will rely on my elders to say that my daughter's body is valuable."
, take care of yourself."
Lin Jinrong's eyes were sore and swollen, and he couldn't say anything. He walked out in a hurry. Dou'er and Guiyuan were chatting and laughing in a low voice. When they saw her walking out in a hurry with a look of worry, they quickly suppressed their smiles and faced each other anxiously.
He glanced at it and quickly chased after him.
Lin Jinrong returned to the yard where she lived before leaving the pavilion, and sat under the lamp for more than half an hour. Guiyuan carefully brought up the medicine bowl: "Grandma, this is the medicine that was just delivered. My wife asked you to drink it while it's hot."
Lin Jinrong sat still, as if he had never heard anything.
Dou'er was making the bed nearby and looked over worriedly when she saw this. Guiyuan gave her a calm look, smiled softly, and comforted her: "Grandma, if this medicine fails, there are gods and Buddhas. The day after tomorrow.
Don't you still want to go to Pingji Temple? You are so kind, why should the Bodhisattva give you some treasures?"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Jinrong suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her with extremely sharp eyes. Guiyuan trembled, a look of panic flashed on his face, and he immediately lowered his body to apologize: "Grandma, this slave is too talkative.
"
"You are indeed talking too much." Lin Jinrong's expression gradually softened. Guiyuan persuaded her in this way, probably because she was smart enough to think that Mr. Bai Rishui was telling lies in front of Lu Yan, in order to stabilize Lu Yan.
To stabilize the Lu family, the real situation is that she actually has a big problem, which is why she felt so uncomfortable and sad after talking alone with Mr. Shui.
Guiyuan's cleverness was still there, but her arrogance had been polished away. Hearing this, he immediately knelt down and whispered: "This slave has no rules, please punish me."
Lin Jinrong drank the soup in silence, got up and walked to the window, ordering Dou'er who looked uneasy: "Get some water and wash your hands with me."
Dou'er hurriedly put aside her work and asked the little girl waiting outside for hot water. She tested the water temperature herself and brought it to Lin Jinrong to help Lin Jinrong clean her hands. After Lin Jinrong had washed his hands, he looked at Guiyuan, who was still kneeling on the ground:
"Go and get my xun from the black wooden box."
Guiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and responded in a low voice. He got up from the ground and washed his hands before he dared to open the box. Dou'er felt that the atmosphere was too dull, so he tentatively smiled and said: "Grandma, I will burn it for you."
Does it smell good?"
Lin Jinrong nodded and opened the window. There was silence outside the window, and a half-moon hung in the sky. The moonlight shone through the branches of the old elm tree with all its leaves, and fell on the ground like a layer of frost. The air was cold,
But it was extremely fresh, it was a bright moonlit night.
Dou'er made the fragrance and said: "Sister Litchi is very careful. When she was cleaning up the xun, the servant asked her what she was doing with it. Grandma came to Guining to nurse her back to health. She only had to talk to the ladies, so she had no time.
Blow the xun? But she said yes, people have leisure time when they are free. If grandma is bored, she will want to play the xun. As expected, you will want to play the xun."
Dou'er was usually very honest and spoke very few words. She racked her brains to think of these words and said them out, but it was also embarrassing for her. Lin Jinrong accepted her kindness and showed a smile: "I haven't blown it in a long time, and I don't know if there is another one."
Not as good as before?"
Dou'er joined her interest: "It must be good. Even if the first song is a little bad, the rest of it must be good."
Lin Jinrong smiled, took the xun offered by Guiyuan with both hands, wiped it with soft satin, put it to her lips and tried it, closed her eyes slightly and blew it. It's not good at all, it's better to have her mother's family. Mrs. Tao couldn't be more incompetent.
, where Tao is around, she is a child who can be pampered. Lychee is right, even if she is in a bad mood, she will still be able to be leisurely and elegant, and she can blow the xun to relieve her mood.
Lin Yizhi accompanied Lu Yan out of Tingtao Juli: "Brother-in-law, where did you find these rare books? I looked at my grandfather happier than you gave him the two boxes of century-old wild ginseng."
Lu Yan smiled slightly: "Actually, it's a collection of books I collected a few years ago."
Lin Yizhi originally wanted to find out where he got it from, so that he could get two copies to pay tribute to Old Mrs. Lin. Hearing this, he couldn't help being extremely disappointed. Just as he was about to find something else to say, he suddenly saw Lu
He stood still and listened quietly with his face half tilted. He quickly closed his mouth and pricked up his ears, but he heard a wisp of xun sound drifting over with the night wind. It was intermittent at first, as if it was a sound test.
Then it became smoother, and the moonlight became a bit whiter.
Lu Yan raised his face slightly and looked quietly at the direction where the sound of the xun came from. His figure was like a bamboo or a pine, surrounded by the moonlight, and a flowing grace and elegance came out from his bones. There is a way to see beauty under the lamp.
, looking at the man under the moon, Lin Yizhi couldn't help but secretly praise him for being a man, and then said with a smile: "She must be the fourth sister. She is the only one in the whole family."
Lu Yan didn't answer, just listened quietly.
Listening to music under the moonlight is an elegant thing, not to mention that this person is his wife. Lin Yizhi didn't want to disturb him, and he was not a person who didn't understand elegance, so he stayed with him quietly. After a long time, the sound of the xun stopped.
, the sound stopped ringing. Lu Jianfang calmed down, saluted apologetically and said with a smile, "Thank you, fifth brother, for keeping me here in the cold for a long time."
Lin Yizhi hurriedly returned the gift and said with a bit of joking: "The fourth sister hasn't gone to bed yet. If my brother-in-law has anything to say to her, I will send someone in to talk to her."
Lu Yan was silent for a moment and smiled: "No need. It's late at night, and if you go in layer by layer, wouldn't it disturb people's dreams?"
Lin Yizhi was joking at first, so when he saw what he said, he just smiled, sent him to the gate, watched him get on the horse with his own eyes, and told Changshou and other attendants to follow him with a few words.
The orderer closed the door and didn't mention it.
Lu Yan was about to whip the horse when he heard the sound of the xun coming again. He listened carefully again, but could not hear it again. He pulled the horse and waited quietly for a while. Fang Mingshou waited for a few young servants: "
Let’s go.”
Before dawn, Lin Jinrong woke up and was about to get up in a daze when he remembered Tao's instructions yesterday: "Have a good rest when you come home. Everyone knows that you are coming back to raise your child, and no one will be harsh on you.
I don’t want you to get up to say hello. You can sleep as long as you want and as comfortable as you want." Then he smiled slightly, turned over and hugged the quilt and fell asleep again.
This time I slept until daybreak. Liu'er took a green feather and swept it around his nose. It was so itchy that he sneezed loudly before he woke up. Although Tao raised Liu'er strictly, he never restrained him.
She lost her temper. Seeing Lin Jinrong sneezing and waking up, she just smiled, slipped under the bed, and hid Cuiyu behind her: "Fourth sister can also sneeze while sleeping, it's strange."
Lin Jinrong sat up with her hair disheveled, pretending to go to get her: "You little girl who is causing trouble, you think I don't know the good things you have done!"
Liu'er screamed and ran away, hiding behind Liu Xi and sticking out half of her head, blinking her innocent eyes, and said with a smile: "Fourth sister, I actually followed my aunt's order to wake you up to take medicine.
It's time for you to take medicine." Before Lin Jinrong could answer, she stretched out her hand and scratched her face twice: "Fourth sister is shameless, she still stays in bed at such an old age."
Lin Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled, took the soup offered by Dou'er, and pretended to say: "How can I drink so much by myself? Little girl, come over and help me take a few sips."
Liuer hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no." As he said this, he bowed to Lin Jinrong: "I have to go and talk to my aunt, and I won't accompany my fourth sister." After that, he walked away.
ran away.
