Chapter 19 Alertness

Chapter 19 Alertness
It's getting dark.

In the backyard, lights were lit one after another.

Lin Fan walked across the front yard, around the corridor, and saw a figure in the distance.

He had good eyesight, and after seeing the man's appearance clearly, he went forward and bowed: "Auntie."

Lin Zhi laughed: "I just talked to your mother for a while, and I'm about to go back, but you, are you late today?"

"At the door, I met a young man from the Yongning Hou Mansion who came to deliver the post," Lin Fan said, "I asked a few words."

Lin Zhi was talking about the family while walking, and when she heard the words Yongning Hou Fu, her footsteps paused slightly: "Post?"

Lin Fan didn't explain, and asked another question: "I remember, you and Mrs. Zhongyi Bo Shizi are old acquaintances, right?"

"Yes." Mentioning Chu Yulan, Lin Zhi sighed and shook her head, "Her health is not optimistic. I heard that Mrs. Uncle went out of the city to recuperate again."

Lin Fan said: "You don't have to worry too much, the imperial physician has already decided on a prescription, which can cure Mrs. Shizi's illness."

Lin Zhi pursed her lips subconsciously when she heard the words.

Lin Fan's statement was somewhat unnatural.

Very sure of the result, it was "want to come" again.

Lin Zhi asked in a deep voice: "Listen to your tone, is there something I don't know about it?"

"There are indeed some situations," Lin Fan told Lin Zhi from the beginning to the end of the day when he met Qin Feng who kidnapped someone and went to Qin Luan to interrogate Baozan, "Just now his family came here just for this thing."

Lin Zhi was overwhelmed when she heard that, "I only knew that she was ill. I went to see her last month, but I didn't expect it to be poisoning."

"Several old doctors didn't see it either." Lin Fan supported Lin Zhi, leading the conversation, "Fortunately, Miss Qin saw the clue, and asked her falsely and honestly, and got a solution."

Lin Zhi rolled her eyes and smiled lightly.

As soon as she just listened to the narration, she felt that the bluff and intimidation made people smile knowingly.

Can come up with such a way...

Involuntarily, Lin Zhi sighed: "The Qin family, Xu Jin's eccentric spirit, the daughter she gave birth to is so interesting."

"The 'Xu Jin' mentioned by my aunt is Miss Qin's late mother? Do you recognize her?" Lin Fan asked along, and then said "Oh", as if to straighten things out, "You and Uncle Zhongyi Madam is an old acquaintance, and Miss Qin's mother and Mrs. Shizi are old friends, so it is not unusual for you to know each other from this."

The names of the old people linger in my ears, and those voices and smiles also come to my mind.

Recalling the old days, Lin Zhi became softer and softer, and said in a gentle voice: "It's all about when I was young. In a flash, so many years have passed. After Xu Jin got married, she gradually had less contact with us. Yulan was two years late, Also married."

The evening wind blew past, making the shadows of the trees sway, and the shadows were vague, pulling Lin Zhi out of the memory at once.

"Ah, look at my aunt, she was about to babble." Lin Zhi pulled her broken hair behind her ears, "You men don't like to hear this. Anyway, no matter how close the girls are in the boudoir, once they each have a husband Children, walking around will naturally be less, and they will gradually become alienated."

Lin Fan lowered his eyes and said, "Where is it, if you want to chatter, I'm all ears."

"You want to hear it, but I don't want to talk about it!" Lin Zhi slapped Lin Fan's arm twice, cursing with a smile, "All the people in the capital say you are annoying, so you should listen carefully, so that you can tell what is right and what is wrong. Minutiae, who knows what melons will be found along the vines!"

Lin Fan knew it didn't hurt, so he didn't have to hide, and when he was done, he said, "I can't hide my plan from you."

Lin Zhiheng smiled and patted it twice, and said, "It's getting late, I should go back to the eldest princess' mansion."

"I'll take you."

Lin Fan sent Lin Zhi out all the way, and only looked away when he saw the carriage driving away.

After all, my aunt is my aunt, and she is the most trusted female official around Princess Pingyang. It is not easy to get some words out of her mouth.

Although, my aunt might not know what he really wanted to get out, but she was vigilant enough.

Even if she started with an old friend, she still didn't let her start the chatterbox.

Lin Fan returned to the inner courtyard.

After entering the main courtyard, the maids outside the main room saw him and saluted politely.

Lin Fan asked, "Is the old lady eating?"

While lifting the curtain with him, the servant girl replied: "It is said that it will be used later today."

Lin Fan entered the room, before he went around to the next room, a person came out to greet him, it was the maid Qiaoyu.

Before Qiaoyu saluted, she gestured for silence first, and said in a low voice: "The old lady is tired, she is taking a nap."

Lin Fan passed her and looked inside.

The mother was lying on the couch, covered with a blanket, and fell asleep.

Lin Fan turned around and asked, "Why are you sleepy at this time?"

Qiaoyu said: "The old lady slept lightly last night. I wanted to take a rest in the afternoon, but Xiangjun came and chatted together for a while. After the Xiangjun left, the old lady became sleepy. Just now We had some snacks together, but the servant thought he was not in a hurry to have dinner, so he didn't wake up the old lady."

Lin Fan heard the words and planned to go back to the front yard.

Just about to leave, the old lady inside woke up.

Lin Fan came in next time, called "Mother", and sat down beside the couch: "I woke you up."

"Taking a nap, it's very shallow," Mrs. Dingguo's old lady curled her lips, smiling softly, "It's fine if you wake up, but you can't fall asleep at night. Your aunt just left, did you meet her? "

"I met you." Lin Fan slowed down his tone, "Speaking of Mrs. Zhongyi Boshizi, and the late Mrs. Yongninghou Shizi."

These two titles made the old lady a little dazed, and then she smiled wryly and shook her head: "Yulan and Ajin, look at my memory, I'm stunned."

"Are you familiar with them too?" Lin Fan straightened the blanket on her mother's lap, "I haven't heard much from you."

The old lady said "Oh" and said: "Ah Jin left early, so I won't mention it, I am also a widow, except for my own family, I seldom interact with others, what are you doing when you bring it up?

You've had a hard day, go early for dinner.

By the way, I plan to go to the mountain to pray for blessings and ask for a signature in a few days.

Don't say anything about asking for leave to accompany me. Don't worry about it. I don't lack manpower here. "

When his mother came to this point, Lin Fan couldn't force himself, so he fully complied and got up to come out.

Retreating to the porch outside, he glanced at the window.

The lights were on inside, reflecting the figures of mother and Qiaoyu.

The mother sat up straighter, and Qiaoyu sat on the embroidered pier, holding up a book on the table, and then there was the soft voice of chanting scriptures.

Lin Fan looked at it for a while, then turned and left.

Whether it is rigorous and thoughtful like an aunt, or kind and casual like a mother, you are equally vigilant about the old things.

Lin Fan felt it, whether he was supporting his aunt or straightening the blanket for his mother, his hands could sense the alertness of the other party at that moment.

Back in the study, Lin Fan opened the letter.

A thin piece of paper, full of words, with a strong backbone and smooth writing.

The content of the letter is not only the follow-up of the reply from the servant of the Hou Mansion, but also Qin Luan's invitation.

Qin Luan invited him to meet him at his old place in Xisi Hutong tomorrow night.

This invitation was not what Lin Fan expected, but it was a pillow when he was dozing off.

He also had something to do with Qin Luan.

 Friends, don't get nervous every time you see Xiang Jun.

  Mr. Xiang, she may also be a middle-aged woman...
