Chapter 40
"Xiliu is really unlucky to follow my cousin! She is such a good person, but she got a slap in the face for nothing. In this summer, her butt is rotten."
Pingye gave Wu'er some plaster for a few days and said this every day when she came back.
Taoye's ears were ringing with noise, and she said to her, "As long as you have the intention, don't dwell on it. If the people in Yushou Hall hear it, you might cause trouble again."
Lin Yunwan has been busy decorating her home these days.
As soon as she came back, she heard what Tao Ye said. She opened the curtain and came in, saying, "What Tao Ye said makes sense, Ping Ye, be careful with your words."
Pingye stuck out her tongue and said, "I know this."
Seeing that Lin Yunwan's lips were a little white, she quickly brought the tea over and said, "Madam, the water temperature is just right."
Lin Yunwan took the tea and asked, "How is Xiliu? Are you feeling better?"
Pingye: "It's better. But there is no big girl to wait on my cousin. She happens to have to wait on her again at one o'clock."
Lin Yunwan explained: "You continue to persuade her. If she really can't think about it, you don't have to rush back to me. You can make your own decision. Human life comes first."
"yes."
Lin Yunwan closed her eyes and recalled what happened to Xiliu...
She had just woken up that day and was about to go to the meeting hall to serve as director when she heard that a girl had thrown herself into a well.
In all the years she has been in the Lu family, this is the first time she has heard of a girl throwing herself into a well.
I used to think that there was a conflict between the girl and the girl, and she was acting out of impulse.
Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with Ge Baoer.
"Madam, Aunt Zhuqing is here."
The little girl waiting outside came over to deliver a message.
Pingye said: "Again?" Her tone was not disgusting, but curious.
Lin Yunwan had obviously told Aunt Zhuqing to avoid suspicion, and recently she had to keep the door tightly closed, so why did she keep coming here every three days?
"Let her in."
Pingye went out and brought Zhuqing in to talk. Zhuqing looked sad and not as cheerful as before.
Lin Yunwan asked the maid to serve tea and asked Zhuqing: "What's wrong? There are black spots under the eyes."
Zhu Qing smiled miserably: "Madam, your eyes are really strong, I haven't slept well these past few days."
She looked at the maid in the room.
Lin Yunwan waved her hand to make them all retreat, and asked Zhu Qing: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Zhuqing said embarrassedly: "Madam, the prince has recently made me drink Bizi soup."
She said reluctantly: "It's really strange. The mistress doesn't let my concubine drink medicine, but the prince lets me drink medicine instead!"
Lin Yunwan asked her: "Are you not young anymore?"
Zhuqing said heartbrokenly: "I am already twenty-five years old." She is two years older than my wife and has no children of her own.
As she said that, she started crying: "If I were a few years older, I don't know if I could have given birth. The prince really doesn't pity people."
Lin Yunwan said nothing.
It is still possible to have children, but Zhu Qing's children are really lucky. He has been with Lu Zhengliu for several years and only has one child.
Of course, she is better than her anyway, raising a son for someone else’s life!
Zhuqing wiped away her tears and said to herself: "I was fine a while ago, so why are you suddenly asking me to take medicine now?" She looked at Lin Yunwan, thinking she could find an answer.
Lin Yunwan looked at Zhu Qing and asked her, "What do you think?"
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, and a strange thought flashed through his mind.
She smiled: "I am stupid, I don't understand."
Having said that, after returning to Yuxing Pavilion, I thought about it for a long time and came up with some clues.
\
An auspicious day in July.
The whole Lu family went to pay their respects to Mrs. Lu.
Zhu Qing met Ge Bao'er and talked to Ge Bao'er privately: "My cousin looks good, and you can see her rosy skin even when she is wearing a veil."
Ge Baoer touched his cheek and said, "The weather is hot, I am hot."
She didn't want to talk to Zhu Qing too much. After all, she was an aunt, and she was now a woman "to be released from the government."
"Auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll go wait on the old lady first."
Zhu Qing smiled slightly and didn't stop her.
Although Ge Baoer left, he felt creepy and always felt like he was being watched!
On this day, she went out with Yan's mother to offer incense again. She still wanted to stay in the temple for a few days, saying that she wanted to pray and chant sutras for her deceased parents.
"May the Bodhisattva bless you..."
Ge Baoer knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and prayed seriously, but he was not praying for his deceased adoptive parents, but his biological parents.
"Bless Bao'er to see her parents soon, and bless Brother Qing to see her grandparents soon..."
Although she knew the hope was slim, she still hoped to be reunited with her biological parents one day. Lu Zhengliu said that the jade pendant she had been wearing since she was a baby was of great value and was not a jade material that ordinary people could afford!
"The prince is here."
Yan's mother appeared behind Ge Baoer and reminded her in a low voice.
Ge Baoer immediately opened his eyes and went to meet Lu Zhengliu in the side room.
Yan's mother stayed outside and felt her ears hurt.
The pure place of Buddhism was made extremely dirty by Ge Baoer.
The prince is also true! Do whatever you want with such a small hoof.
"Why are you still wearing this bracelet?"
Lu Zhengliu held Ge Baoer's hand and rubbed the bamboo bracelet.
Ge Baoer recalled with a smile: "When I was in my cardamom years, you wanted to give me something valuable, but I didn't want it. So you pulled a piece of bamboo and made a bracelet for me, and I was willing to accept it."
Lu Zhengliu also smiled lightly, it was really something only a young person would do.
It is absolutely impossible for him to make up this thing for a woman now.
"This bracelet is very cheap and can be found everywhere." Lu Zhengliu said, "It's not that the old lady didn't give you jewelry. You should wear better ones in the future."
Ge Baoer shook his head, hugged him and asked, "Brother Azheng, have you forgotten the meaning of this bracelet..."
"I didn't forget."
With just that bracelet, this silly girl gave him her innocence.
So he once promised: "When I come back to marry you, I will give you an emerald bracelet."
Later, he was forced to marry Lin Yunwan.
I haven't had a chance to change the bracelet for Ge Baoer yet.
Lu Zhengliu suddenly thought of Lin Yunwan and felt a little absent-minded. If he married Lin Yunwan first and then met Ge Baoer, would he make such a promise to Ge Baoer?
He was startled by his question.
"Brother Azheng, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhengliu came back to his senses and said in a cold tone: "It's nothing."
Ge Baoer thought he was still angry about that incident, so he admitted his mistake obediently: "Aunt Zhuqing is right to help you, but I... just don't want other women to bear children for you."
"Brother Azheng, you know I'm so stingy."
She said it with confidence.
"I know. I'm not angry."
Because he didn't let Zhuqing drink Bizi soup because of Ge Baoer's words.
It was already three days before Ge Baoer returned home.
Coincidentally, she met Zhu Qing again.
"Hello, cousin, your complexion is really good. It seems that worshiping the Buddha can really make people's minds pure and their complexion also improves."
Ge Baoer's face looked a little unhappy.
What's the matter with this Zhuqing? Even though his eyes are vicious, he still stares at her!
"If my aunt feels uneasy, you can also try to worship the Buddha."
Zhuqing smiled and said, "I can't. I'm not as calm as a girl. I'm an impetuous person."
Ge Baoer said a few polite words to her and left quickly.
Lin Yunwan came over and asked Zhuqing: "What are you and your cousin talking about?"
Zhuqing Fushen said: "Madam, it's nothing. Why is Madam here at this time?"
Lin Yunwan's face was solemn, she was holding something in her sleeve and said, "I came to tell the old lady something important. Just in time, you can go in with me."
Zhuqing followed him with doubts on his face.
