concubines are respected

Chapter 22 Visiting Beijing for Diagnosis
Ten days passed in a flash, and the brocade clothes spontaneous combustion incident that happened on Master Lin's birthday gradually faded away.Lin Zhilan was frightened that day, and stayed in the room for several days without taking a step out of Bichun Pavilion, but Lin Yinglu felt guilty, so she went to Bichun Pavilion all day without doing anything, after a while, Lin Zhilan treated her His complexion also eased a lot.

Suxian didn't bother to bother about the matter of the main courtyard, and she was quite comfortable living a leisurely life in the bird garden without contending with the world.

On this day, after Suxian finished washing, she was chatting with Xiangcao. Cui Ya, who went to the front yard to get the order, hurried back, "Second miss, hurry up, go to the main courtyard." Cui Ya ran too fast, As soon as he said a word, he gasped for a while.

"What's the matter, it's such a hot day, it looks like you're tired, even if something happens in the main courtyard, it has nothing to do with us, why are you so anxious, sit down and talk." Suxian hurriedly asked Cuiya to sit down.

"There's no need to delay, Second Miss, if you don't go, you won't be able to see the master." Cuiya said eagerly without sitting down.

"What's the matter with father, my ex-son's birthday party is still fine." Suxian was anxious when she heard the words, and thought to herself, could it be that her father's condition worsened, what's wrong?
Suxian didn't dare to think deeply, got up and ran out of the room.

Seeing that Suxian misunderstood what she said, Cui Ya quickly patted the corner of her mouth, "Look at the mouth of this servant, it's really useless. The second lady misunderstood, and the servant said in a hurry, the master is fine." Followed closely behind and continued to explain, "People from my family in the capital said that they came to pick up the master to Beijing for medical treatment at the order of the old lady. At this moment, the master has already boarded the chariot. If he goes late, I'm afraid I can't see you off for the master."

After hearing this, Suxian felt a little relieved, but she didn't mean to stop, she still walked quickly, and said with some complaints, "If there is someone who can cure father, you can invite the head of the house Staying at the doctor's office. How can I let my father drag the sick body all the way around? If there is a mistake on the way, what should I do? The old lady really did not think about it."

Cui Ya worriedly lowered her voice and said, "Second Miss, don't dare to speak like this. It is the old lady who gave the order. If others listened to you telling the old lady behind her back, wouldn't it cause more trouble. But I can't blame the old lady for this matter. People, I heard from people from my family that there is a Qinglong Temple in the capital, and there is a person with extremely high medical skills living in the temple, and it is rumored that this person can also bring the dead back to life."

"Resurrecting the dead, how can there be such a strange thing in the world? It's nothing more than rumors in the market, how can it be taken seriously! But since the rumors are so magical, I think this person still has some knowledge." The master and servant walked around the lotus pond while talking. I was not far in front, looking from a distance, there were crowds of people, it seemed that the eldest lady had arranged a lot of attendants to take care of my father along the way.

"Don't say that the second lady didn't believe it, and the servant didn't believe it at first. But what the people in my family said was true, and it seemed to be true. The old lady came to seek medical treatment several times, and the expert finally agreed. But she refused to leave Qinglong Temple, and only agreed to sit in Qinglong Temple for consultation. In desperation, the old lady had no choice but to send someone to pick up the master to Beijing, but I heard that Qinglong Temple is a good place to recuperate from the outstanding people. It's just this way Running around, I'm afraid it will make the master suffer." Cui Ya said with some worry.

While speaking, Suxian's master and servant came to the chariot, and Lin Mocheng, under the service of his servants, got into the chariot and lay down.The elder lady, third aunt, Lin Zhilan and other sisters who live in the main courtyard were all present to see them off, they already knew it by the look on their faces, but they just deliberately didn't support Suxian who lived far away in Queyuan.

"Father, Xian'er doesn't know that my father is traveling far away, and he is late to see him off, so I hope he will not blame him." Across the sedan chair, Suxian whispered beside her.

Lin Mocheng's weak voice came from inside the sedan chair, "Qian'er can come to see you as your father, so why blame him? It's unpredictable for your father to go. If you are lucky enough to recover, you should thank God for your mercy. If you don't recover , simply go down to accompany your mother, so that she won't be alone in the ground alone. Cough cough cough."

When mentioning Suxian's mother, the eldest lady's expression turned unhappy, she stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Master, it's a long way to go, you'd better talk less and rest more, don't waste your energy."

After Lin Mo Chengshao remained silent, he whispered to the eldest lady, "Qinru. Qian'er's mother passed away early. If there is something wrong, you, as the aunt, need to take care of it. Qian'er, come forward and do it for your father. I have something to say."

The eldest lady responded, turned her head and looked at Suxian indifferently, her eyes were full of displeasure, but because the master had ordered, she had to keep silent, but the eyes she looked at Suxian were full of warning.

Suxian stepped forward, stepped on the pedal of the sedan chair, and gently opened the curtain of the sedan chair, only to see her father reclining inside, with many brocade cushions beside her, which seemed to be all right, "I don't know what orders my father has?"

Lin Mocheng opened his restive eyes, looked at Suxian fixedly, and said in a low voice, "Xian'er, can you put away the pendant my father gave you that day?"

Suxian subconsciously caressed the bloodstone pendant that was always worn around her neck, and replied softly, "Father, don't worry, that pendant is always worn by Qianer, but I don't know where it came from. Why is father so careful?"

Lin Mocheng closed his eyes reassuringly, and said in a low voice, "As long as you take it with you, if you are lucky enough to return home for your father, you will tell me in detail. This is not the time for you to know. If you go back here for your father If you don’t come, you will know in the future.”

"But father." Seeing her father's silence, Suxian became more curious and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

At this time, the eldest lady's impatient voice came from outside the sedan chair, "Master, it's getting late, you need to get on the road earlier."

Lin Mocheng waved to Suxian, signaling her to step down from the sedan chair, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

Suxian greeted Lin Mocheng slightly, bowed and got off the sedan chair, the lady quickly ordered a group of people to go on the road, and they sent Lin Mocheng's sedan chair respectfully to the road.

As the sedan chair left, the eldest lady asked Suxian with a serious face, "Why did the master call you to talk in the sedan chair just now? What kind of tricks are you playing?"

Suxian replied with a smile, "Mother is worrying too much. Father just told Xian'er to follow mother's instruction carefully and not to offend mother."

After finishing speaking, Su Xian respectfully blessed herself, ignored the suspicion on Da Furen's face, turned around and retreated.

"Mother, did you believe that girl's words?" Lin Zhilan whispered in Da Furen's ear.

"This girl is very creepy now, how can she believe what she said! Hmph!" Da furen said angrily, and everyone dispersed.

Lin Mocheng traveled far away to seek medical treatment with his illness. Ten days after he left the mansion, the news came from his family in the capital that Lin Mocheng had temporarily stayed in Qinglong Temple to receive treatment from doctors. As for whether he can be cured, it depends on his good fortune. .In this way, Suxian was relieved a lot. According to her father's current physical condition, it would be auspicious to be able to travel safely for a long distance.As for the doctors in the capital, whether they are really as miraculous as in the legend, we can only wait and see.

Lin Mocheng stayed in Qinglong Temple to recuperate, and the old lady arranged it properly. Finally, she had a temporary concern. She lived in the capital temporarily for several months, and she also had a lot of concerns about the mansion. In addition, the third aunt who came to Beijing with the old lady The son Lin Shujian clamored to go back to Kangzhou, and the old lady finally planned to go back home from her home in the capital.After holding back for a long time, the third aunt finally saw the dawn and raised her eyebrows again.

"Lu'er, it's not my aunt talking about you. No matter what, you are the third young lady in the mansion. Why do you have to run around in Bichun Pavilion all day long, trying to please Lin Zhilan? My aunt really hurts when she sees it." Today, Lin Yinglu Just returned from Bichunxuan, the third aunt who had been waiting in the room for a long time said dissatisfiedly.

"Auntie, you don't know. My daughter was hurt by that bitch Lin Suqian. After several visits, the elder sister misunderstood her a lot. Although the daughter is the third lady, she is still a concubine. If you offend the elder sister Ma'am, how can my daughter have a good source in the future, she has no choice but to act like this." Lin Yinglu said to the third aunt with some grievances.

Third aunt sighed softly, what Lin Yinglu said was not unreasonable, the daughter in the boudoir must ultimately come from someone in her husband's family.Who the daughter promises to in the end, although she is her own mother, she can't make the decision.If you offend the eldest lady and marry your daughter hastily in the future, wouldn't it be a waste of a lifetime of happiness.

"Oh, that's all, my aunt doesn't blame you. I just blame my aunt for her incompetence. She couldn't be an equal wife back then. Otherwise, our mother and daughter wouldn't have to look at people's faces and rely on others in the house. But the old lady will go back to the house. The time is only these two days. No matter how bad it is, Aunt Ji is also the niece of the old lady’s family. Auntie said next to the old lady in the future, she will choose a good house for you. I think the old lady will not treat you badly.” Yu Jie only In an instant, San Yiniang felt much better when she thought that the old lady was about to return home.Although in name I and the old lady are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, if we compare the truth, I am the old lady's niece, and the third aunt who was a concubine in her natal family was able to marry into Lin's mansion as a good concubine, and it was all thanks to her The old lady's asylum.

"Well, Auntie, Lu'er understands." When Lin Ying mentioned her life, her face was filled with embarrassment, and the figure she saw at the birthday party that day flashed in her mind.Then she shook her head dejectedly, that person was of noble status, as a concubine, how could she hope to match her.

While the mother and daughter were chatting, Xia He's return voice came from outside the room, "Third Aunt, the old lady's sedan chair has already entered the city, and I specially sent a fast-footed servant to report back. The people in each house should pack up as soon as possible, and go to the gate of the mansion to greet the old lady."

"I'm back!" The third aunt immediately became very happy when she heard the words. Aizi Lin Shujian went to Beijing with the old lady. The third aunt was naturally the happiest when she came back after looking forward to it, "Xia He, hurry up and report to the fourth miss. Luer, you also hurry up and change into bright clothes and go to the gate of the house to greet you. Don't delay any longer. I will wait for you first." .”

Third Yiniang gave instructions for a while, and couldn't wait any longer, and strode out of the room.

Outside the main gate of the Lin Mansion, there was a rare bustling scene. The master waited with many slaves and maidservants, and the team was extremely huge.

It was noon, although the sun was in full bloom, everyone still stood at the door under the scorching sun to welcome the old lady back home.The eldest lady and Lin Zhilan stood in the first line of the line neatly dressed, and the third aunt, Lin Yinglu, and Lin Ruxue stood aside. Although no one told Suxian, Suxian got the letter and stood at the end of the line .

Mrs. Lin had a faint smile on her face. She didn't have much joy to say about the old lady's return to the mansion. When the old lady was there before, although she had already entrusted her to take care of the big and small matters in the mansion, there was The old lady waited and watched from behind, and when dealing with any matter, she always took into account the old lady's feelings, especially the matters in the third aunt's room. She was even more cautious because of the old lady, which made the third aunt more pampered.

In the past few months, the old lady was not in the mansion, and the old lady finally found the feeling of being a housewife.It's just that the good days don't last long, just a few days after she was in power, the old lady hurried back to the mansion.In the future, the power of the housekeeper will be in her hands on the surface, but how much real power she will have secretly is unknown.

However, San Yiniang's mood was very different. Thinking of seeing her longing son soon, San Yiniang's heart jumped out of her throat with excitement.Although he was sweating profusely from the sun, he still tiptoed to look at the end of the road from time to time, his face full of anticipation.

Someone in the crowd yelled, "I'm back, the old lady's sedan chair is back!"

Following the direction of the man's finger, a brocade blue Chinese sedan chair pulled by a tall white horse slowly walked towards Lin's mansion.

　When coding late at night, Sujin's cat always cuddles up to her side with great loyalty. Seeing her sleeping soundly, Sujin's heart warms, so it's so lovely to say!
