Grandma Chang changed the subject and chatted with Mrs. Tao: "I'm feeling heavy and the weather is cold. I'm staying at home. If my third uncle and my younger siblings hadn't come, I wouldn't have gone out for this trip."
Mrs. Tao said with a smile: "It's better to be active in your free time. Can the midwife be invited?"
Grandma Chang smiled and said: "I invited you a long time ago. I will invite you to eat soup cakes in a few days."
It was a custom in this dynasty that relatives and friends would send corn charcoal vinegar to celebrate the birth of a child. The host would host a banquet, and the staple food would be soup cakes. It was called a soup cake party, and this is what it means to invite people to eat soup cakes.
Mrs. Tao smiled slightly: "It's a great joy to have a baby, so I want to be happy." As he said this, he thought of his poor child again, and couldn't help but blame himself and resentment.
Mother Gong knew that Mr. Tao was not feeling well at the first glance, so she winked at Chun Ya and ordered some soup.
When guests come, they offer tea, order soup and then say goodbye.
Grandma Chang knew the opportunity and hurriedly sent someone to ask Mr. Lin Chang if he was leaving. She happened to come out after visiting a doctor there.
Mrs. Tao hurriedly ordered people to pack a large box of dried fruits for Grandma Chang as a return gift. Lin Jinrong stepped forward to help Grandma Dingchang and sent her to the door. She saw a woman wearing a green silk cotton robe, who was a little fat and had gray hair on her temples.
, a man with slender eyes and a high nose led a child to stand in front of the door. Knowing it was Lin Chang, he had to salute and say hello. After the guests left, Fang hurriedly came back and asked Mrs. Tao, who was lying on the bed again: "How are you, mother?"
"
Tao was extremely irritable. Hearing Lin Jinrong's soft and worried question, his heart softened. He had to cheer up and said with a smile: "I'm fine. My daughter did a good job just now, even if she is poor.
Relatives should also be treated with courtesy. As for this person, you never know when you will ask for help from others. It is always good to have more good relationships. Tell me, mother, what did you do earlier?"
Lin Jinrong wanted to make her happy, so he twirled his fingers and told Tao about everything from a small piece of grass bud to a large hot spring in Qingjing Temple, as well as the peach blossom fish in Miao Ya's mouth.
Mrs. Tao held her chin and listened quietly, pinching her beloved daughter's face affectionately from time to time: "Seeing that you are happy, I was worried that you would find it deserted here, but I didn't expect you to be so naughty. You are like a fish in water." And so on.
, which also made her feel much less guilty about dragging down her children.
Lin Jinrong looked at Mrs. Tao with bright eyes, suddenly hugged Mrs. Tao's arm, and whispered: "Mom, I like this very much. You haven't smiled like this for a long time. My sister and I were so scared a few days ago."
Childish and innocent. This child is indeed sensitive and smart. It's a pity that he was born in the wrong child and fell into the hands of parents like himself. Otherwise, what do Lu Yun, Lin Wu, Liu, Qi, etc. mean?! Mrs. Tao caressed Lin Jinrong and blackened
With soft hair, pride and love, there are thousands of words rushing in her throat, but in the end there are no words to express. She sighed softly and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, baby, my mother will definitely get better." She will be well taken care of.
I will not rest in peace until I see you grow up.
Lin Jinrong lay in Tao's arms, smelling the scent of medicine on her body, feeling endless satisfaction and calmness: "Mom, do you want to go to Qingliang Temple tomorrow? I heard that it is quite clean and there is a hot spring."
Mr. Tao took several medicines prescribed by Mr. Tianshui. The redness had stopped, but he still had no energy. How could he have the leisure and energy to visit Qingliang Temple and soak in hot springs? He shook his head gently: "I have no energy.
.If Nannan wants to go, let the Tiehuai family bring a few capable wives to protect her, and bring some incense, candles, and money."
Lin Jinrong was very happy after receiving the permission.
After dinner, Lin Jinrong took a chance to find Tao Shunqin, and repeated the old talk about buying so much gold and silver and keeping it until the following year. Uncle Tao had a good temper and would not stop her no matter what she said, but he also
He just smiled and listened and didn't take it to heart. In turn, he told Lin Jinrong to take good care of himself and Tao. If anything happened, just write to Qingzhou. He patted Lin Jinrong on the head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Nannan.
Uncle will add makeup to you then!"
He was generous, and he only had a biological sister named Tao, so he said that he would definitely add more makeup to her. Even in his previous life, although he never promised, he also gave her hundreds of gold in the chest, but she couldn't keep it. But
...Lin Jinrong sighed helplessly. There is a saying that goes well, there is a time in your life that you must have, but there is no time in your life, don't force it. It seems that the Tao family has no way to make this fortune with her for the time being, and let's wait until later. What is in her heart
Thinking this way, he still had to pretend to be shy in order to satisfy Tao Shunqin's sense of satisfaction at successfully teasing his little niece.
When Tao Shunqin was happy, Lin Jinrong asked him in a low voice: "Uncle, what is my father's disease? Is it going to be nothing serious?"
Tao Shunqin raised his eyelids and said as calmly as if he had a pearl in his hand: "It's just a minor illness, don't worry about it. Mr. Shui's medical skills are extremely good, not inferior to the famous doctors in Pingzhou, and his uncle treats him kindly, he is indispensable
You have to do your best. Don’t talk about your father. Once your mother gets well this time, she will rarely get sick in the future."
The words spoken by the adults and children are often cryptic, but in fact you can hear some meanings. In other words, this disease will not affect Mr. Lin San, nor will it cause a big sensation, and Mr. Shui is pretty good.
It was believable. Lin Jinrong was completely relieved. She held her chin and recalled the events of that year. Was Mr. Lin ever sick at that time? He didn't seem to be sick, but he went out drinking with Uncle Tao every day.
They often hang out together. Anyway, none of the women in the third room have a bulging belly.
Suddenly two days later, Mr. Lin couldn't bear the loneliness. He was still taking medicine, so he called Tie Huai to ask if there was anything fun nearby. He didn't know what Tie Huai told him. He refused to listen to his advice and had to drag him away.
Tao Shunqin went to Qingliang Temple to soak in the hot springs together.
Tao Shunqin didn't say much, so he asked someone to call Lin Jinrong: "I heard your mother said two days ago that you wanted to visit Qingliang Temple. Do you want to go with us?"
Lin Jinrong smiled and said: "Growing up, I have never had the opportunity to go out with my father. It was my uncle who took me to see the Lantern Festival lanterns when we were young." He was about to go.
When Mr. Lin San heard this, he looked impatient, but he couldn't say anything about not allowing his daughter to go with him. He just said with a straight face: "Your father and I are busy. Now that I have to leave, I quickly packed up and left. The journey is long.
You’re walking again, so don’t complain that your feet hurt and you can’t walk.”
Lin Jinrong didn't expose his "good intentions". He smiled slightly, bowed obediently and went out, beckoning the rough lady to come over: "Go find Miao Ya and ask her to accompany me to Qingliang Temple."
Tao Shunqin looked at Mr. Lin San with a heavy look. Mr. Lin San didn't notice anything. He was still lowering his head and playing with the dried fruits in the lacquer box, secretly calculating how to dump Lin Jinrong to Tao Shunqin. It was so convenient for him. When he thought of the possibility
There will be a young and beautiful nun. It’s okay to take a look at it. I can’t help but laugh.
It was only three or four miles from Zhuangzi to Qingliang Temple. Lin Jinrong put his feet down and did not complain that he was tired or that his feet hurt. Instead, he asked Miao Ya some trivial matters with great interest. From time to time, he pulled grass from the field and asked Miao Ya.
What is that? What is that? When Tao Shunqin and Mr. Lin San were not paying attention, they secretly grabbed some grain from Miao Ya and sprinkled it into the fields, startling a large group of foraging sparrows and making them smile.
Master Lin San and Tao Shunqin saw that there were no farmers around, and her head and face were tightly covered by a hood, so they didn't care about her much.
A group of people entered the temple and were greeted by two old nuns with faces as old as tree bark chanting Buddha's name. Tao Shunqin immediately became solemn and behaved himself. Lin Jinrong also believed in ghosts and gods since his rebirth, so he calmed down and followed
Tao Shunqin followed suit.
Mr. Lin was shocked. He lost all the excitement and anticipation he had when he arrived - he expected to see a young and beautiful nun, but he was frightened. After Tao Shunqin finished greeting the old nun,
He just pretended to be unintentional and said: "I heard that there is a hot spring in this temple..."
The old nun in charge was named Zhiqing. Knowing that she was the male owner of the village across the street, she didn't dare to neglect, so she hurriedly called another old nun, Zhiping: "Junior Sister, take Master Lin to the back to have a look." While talking, she personally served tea to Tao Shunqin and Lin Jinrong:
"The temple is simple and simple, and there are only two of us, my senior fellow apprentice and my sister. Please don't blame me for being careless."
Mr. Lin San originally had some hope, hoping that the two old nuns would have a young nun to take care of them. It would be the young nun who would lead the guests to play, but unexpectedly, there was no such thing. It was just a disappointment.
She asked him to look at the wrinkled old nun...and immediately waved her hand: "That's all, you guys are busy, I'll walk around by myself."
Zhiqing was still afraid of neglecting him, and looked slightly embarrassed. Tao Shunqin hurriedly said: "Let him go. I came today to make a wish and ask the Buddha to bless my sister-in-law and Zhuojing to recover soon, be safe and healthy, and the children."
A life of joy and worry-free..."
Zhiqing and Zhiping were overjoyed when they heard this. They didn't care about Mr. Lin San. They ignored their dignity and gathered around Tao Shunqin for a while to flatter him. They tried desperately to persuade him to fulfill his wish in this Qingliang Temple, the more charity he would give.
The better.
Lin Jinrong listened on the sidelines and could not help but feel sore in her nose. She was not reborn. She did not know that no matter whether it was effective or not, her relatives were trying to protect her silently in different ways. At that time, the banditry broke out, and the separated Tao and others
Are people also worrying and praying for her day and night?
Lin Jinrong was stunned when Tie Huai came in and said with a smile: "My third master heard that this hot spring can be used to go to the hot spring. I want to take a bath. I wonder if the nunnery owner can make it convenient?"
How could Zhiqing refuse? With a smile on his face, he said: "Almost no one goes to that pool on weekdays. It was just washed yesterday and the water is flowing. But I am afraid that the donor, Jin Gui, will dislike the dirty pool..."
Tie Huai glanced at Tao Shunqin and smiled like a flower: "I don't mind, I don't mind."
Lin Jinrong took advantage of Tao Shunqin and two old nuns to discuss the matter of rebuilding the golden body of the giant Buddha in the temple. He waved Miao Ya over and asked: "Have you seen this hot spring pool? Is it big? Is the water deep?"
