Rebirth of Shuangshu

Chapter 82 Meeting

Yulin outside the capital of Zheng Guo.

It is said that this is a treasure land of geomantic omen, and many noble people are buried here after death.

There are also hermits with weird personalities who set up their troops here in the name of guarding the mausoleum.There are also people who guard the mausoleum here, it is a last resort.

There is a house on the mountainside of Qingcang Mountain in Yulin.There is a "Tian" sign on the gate of the house, and there are three huts in the courtyard.Not far behind the house is the cemetery.

Da Cui's death was dishonorable, and he was not allowed to enter Tian's ancestral grave, nor could he enter Cui's ancestral grave.But she was a member of Cui Tian's family after all, and the family gave her the last honor—buried in Qingcang Mountain, Yulin.

Cui Panpan was ordered by Tian and Cui's family to guard the mausoleum of Da Cui's family. The agreed three-year period has already passed, but no one asked to take them back.

Three years after another three years?Cui Panpan occasionally thinks about this question when he laughs at himself.

The Tian family hadn't completely forgotten her, they still sent people over every month to deliver some rice, noodles, meat, etc., but that was all.

Cui Panpan came to Da Cui's grave with a bucket, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on the tombstone to wash away the dust on the tombstone.

Whenever Cui Panpan is in a bad mood, she will come to visit Da Cui's grave.When she sees this tombstone and thinks of the people lying in the cemetery, she will feel that it is good to be alive.

A delicate figure ran towards the cemetery from the back door of the house, calling for Cui Panpan from a distance.

"My lady, my lady, something serious happened."

Cui Panpan turned his head and saw that the person who came was Chun'er, his slave girl, so he dropped the ladle and waved to Chun'er.

"Run slowly, be careful not to fall."

Before Cui Panpan finished speaking, Chun'er staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh, I sprained my ankle, it hurts so much."

Cui Panpan helped Chun'er to sit down on a side stone, and lifted her foot to check, only to see a lump in her ankle.

"Hey, it's swollen, can you still walk?"

Chun'er stood up, tried to walk a few steps with a limp, and grinned again, screaming for pain.

Cui Panpan quickly supported her: "Don't move around, I'll help you go back, and I'll get you a doctor to come down the mountain later."

"No need, the doctor needs money again," Chun'er pouted, "Oh, I almost forgot, there are people coming up the mountain today, a lot of people, who are the princesses who are here to kiss."

And princess?The slippery one?
Hua Guo wanted to marry a young princess to Zheng Guogong and get married. This matter had been rumored in the capital before, and even Yulin could hear the discussion.

"Why did the married princess come to Yulin? Did you hear it wrong?" Cui Panpan expressed doubts.

"That's right," Chun'er pulled Cui Panpan to the mountain road, "I just saw them, and many of them have already reached the foot of the mountain."

"Really? Did you read that right?"

"Let's go and see. Let's go over there. There is a big rock over there. If you step on it, you can see the bottom, which is very convenient."

At the foot of Qingcang Mountain, the wedding party from Hua Country has just arrived.

At the moment, the atmosphere in the marriage team is a bit sluggish.Everyone was unhappy, and some were even angry.

According to the original itinerary, the marriage team should enter the capital today.But it wasn't until after the team set off today that Zheng Guo sent someone to notify the marriage team that they would go to the Yulin Palace on the outskirts of the capital for a temporary stay.

First he encountered bandits, then he was interrogated like a prisoner, and then he was monitored on the road, until now he was only a few miles away from the capital, but he was not allowed to enter.

When they got here, everyone in the marriage team knew their situation.

The Zheng people were not looking forward to this marriage like the Hua people.

Even the heartless Liu Niang rarely showed disappointment.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Liu Niang sat in the carriage, not knowing how to comfort Liu Niang, so they could only take a stack of pastries from the box and put them next to Liu Niang.

Sixteen Niang shook her head, pushed away the pastry and lifted the car curtain.

Perhaps because of the frequent travel by horses and carriages, the mountain road to Qingcang Mountain is wide and flat.

The team was sparsely walking up the mountain, and it took almost an hour to reach the top of the mountain.

Lin Xiaoxiao helped Sixteen Niang out of the car, and the two looked at the villa in front of them together.

The palace rewarded by Zheng Guogong to Princess Huazi is located on the top of Qingcang Mountain in Yulin.This palace was originally named Fangfei Garden, but now Liuniang has the right to change its name.

Fangfeiyuan was originally the place where Zheng Guogong's biological mother, the empress dowager Zheng Guoxian, recuperated.Empress Dowager Zheng Guoxian also took her last breath here.

It is said that the relationship between Zheng Guogong and the first queen mother's mother and son is not good, and the first queen mother likes another son.The younger brother of Zheng Guogong has long been exterminated.

Sixteen Niang doesn't like Fangfei Garden, because it is not as luxurious as Gongsun's house.

"Princess, it's still early, do you want to ask the green slaves to play mahjong with you?"

"No, I'm tired."

Sixteen Niang locked herself in the house, and she didn't want to talk to anyone, and she didn't want to do anything.

Someone came to ask if they wanted to change the name of the palace, but Liu Niang was too lazy to answer, so Lin Xiaoxiao could only ask them not to mention it for the time being.

After a while of tossing and turning, everyone settled down separately.

Lin Xiaoxiao prepared two rooms for herself.

One is in the same courtyard with other doctors, and the other is next door to Sixteen Niang.She didn't want to serve Liu Niang full-time from now on.

Lin Xiaoxiao found Hu Zigui.

"When will the people from Huaguo arrive again?"

"If there is no delay on the way, they will arrive in five or six days."

Due to the downsizing and financial loss of the marriage team, Lu He sent someone back to Huaguo to report the situation.Generally, when this happens, the Swimming Council will send someone over to supplement the manpower, especially the maids who serve the princess are essential.

Court maids are rigorously trained in the necessary etiquette.When they came, Lin Xiaoxiao could get away from Sixteen Niang.

In this way, the marriage team settled down in Qingcang Mountain.After that, it seemed that the capital had forgotten their existence.

Fortunately, the follow-up people from Huaguo arrived in time, adding some popularity to this slightly dilapidated villa.

Instead of staring at Liu Niang all the time, Lin Xiaoxiao resumed her previous activity of going up the mountain to collect herbs with the doctor.

Qingcang Mountain is very big, and Yulin is even bigger.New countries, new places, there are many previously unseen herbs waiting for them to study.

On this day, Lin Xiaoxiao and a group of doctors came out of the small stream in the mountain and came to a pool near the mountainside.Everyone discussed and planned to bury the pot here to cook and eat here at noon.

Lin Xiaoxiao was fetching water by the pool, and saw a woman walking towards her on the opposite side.

Cui Panpan is a little troubled these days.

Since Chun'er sprained her foot that day, Cui Panpan could only do many jobs in the yard by herself.Although Chun'er rushed to do it, Cui Panpan couldn't stand her screaming whenever she moved.Originally thought of going down the mountain to find a doctor to have a look, but Chun'er refused.

It's really hard for a penny to beat a hero.

When he left Tian Mansion, Cui Panpan took a box of gold, silver and jade objects, thinking that these days would not be too hard.

Just because I was too naive at the time.It's only been a few years, and the valuables in that box have already been used up.

The Tian Mansion sent rice and noodles every month, and the amount was never too much, just enough for Cui Panpan, master and servant, not to be hungry.

However, there are always unforeseen circumstances. In the past two years, Cui Panpan had several illnesses in a row, and it cost a lot to ask a doctor to prescribe medicine.To blame can only be blamed on Cui Panpan's poor physical foundation, frail and sickly.

Cui Panpan didn't have much cash in his hands, and there were not many valuables left that could be exchanged for money.Now both the master and the servant can't wait to break one cloth coin into two when spending money.

In the past few days, Cui Panpan occasionally met a group of herbal collectors on the mountain, and after inquiring, he found out that the person was a doctor in the marriage team.

After hesitating for a few days, Cui Panpan decided to ask these doctors for favors. Asking them to show Chun'er's feet might be cheaper than going down the mountain to ask a doctor.

Lin Xiaoxiao watched the woman approaching, then got up and looked at her.She is the only woman among the doctors, so it is more appropriate for her to come forward to deal with it.

Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Panpan saluted each other.

"Miss, do you need me to wait?"

"I heard that you are doctors from far away. Someone in my family has a foot injury. I wonder if I can ask the doctor to take a look?"

"So that's it. Is the lady's home far from here?"

"It's not far away. It's less than a mile away from the other side of the pool."

"I don't know if the injured person in the lady's house is a man or a woman?"

"It's a woman."

"Then I will go with my wife."

After explaining to the others, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the pool to get her backpack, then followed Cui Panpan to the other side.

The moment Cui Panpan saw Lin Xiaoxiao's backpack, he was stunned for a moment.She didn't react at first, but soon her mind exploded.

Lin Xiaoxiao's backpack was still the mountaineering bag when she fell off the cliff.Her mountaineering bag is made in China, the quality is good, and it has not broken after many years of use.

This backpack is naturally different from today's luggage.But in this era when a piece of cloth can be used as a bag, no one seems to care too much about Lin Xiaoxiao's backpack.

Cui Panpan wanted to ask and say something, but he didn't dare, so he could only secretly look at Lin Xiaoxiao's backpack from the corner of his eye.

After walking about three or four hundred meters, they arrived at Cui Panpan's house.

Lin Xiaoxiao saw the "Tian" signboard hanging on the door of the house, and thought to herself that the woman's surname was Tian from afar.

After these few days, Chun'er's ankle swelled even higher, and if it is not treated, it will leave sequelae.In the future, it will become a habitual twisting of the feet, and even walking will become a problem.

Lin Xiaoxiao reached into her backpack, took safflower oil from the warehouse, picked up Chun'er's feet and rubbed them vigorously.

Chun'er screamed in pain from rubbing her feet, if she hadn't been held down by Cui Panpan, she would have refused.

Cui Panpan's subordinates pressed Chun'er's shoulder hard, but their eyes fell on the bottle of safflower oil.The pungent smell of safflower oil rushed into his nostrils, and Cui Panpan felt the urge to cry.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't take the money, and made an appointment with Chun'er to come back tomorrow.

Cui Panpan kept sending Lin Xiaoxiao outside the house, and watched him off for a long way.

Because of some expectation, Cui Panpan's palms and back were sweating.She can't be in a hurry, she needs a better time to test.She can't be messed up, in case it's just her random thoughts.

Lin Xiaoxiao went to the farmhouse on the mountainside for five consecutive days to rub Chun'er's feet.

The effect of safflower oil is remarkable, and the swelling of Chun'er's ankle can be seen to the naked eye.In order to prevent Chun'er from moving and getting hurt, Lin Xiaoxiao put a splint on her foot.

On this day, the spring is just right.

Lin Xiaoxiao was about to leave after finishing Chun'er's work, but Cui Panpan stopped her and said that she would invite her to drink tea.

"This is a shabby room, there is nothing good, only the green tea that I roasted myself, I wonder if Dr. Lin would like to have a taste?"

"Green tea? The lady fried it herself?"

"Yes, I don't have any hobbies, but I like to taste tea. I make some every year, but it's a pity that no one appreciates it."

"I am also a tea lover, respect is worse than obedience."

Although she said it nicely, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't have much hope for Cui Panpan's green tea.People these days always like to add messy things to tea, which seriously damages the natural aroma of tea.

Cui Panpan invited Lin Xiaoxiao to come under the elm tree in the yard.There are stone tables and benches under the elm tree, as well as tea sets that have been set up.

There are already ceramics these days, but they only belong to noble supplies.Cui Panpan's tea set is made of stone, which was brought from Cui's family to Tian's as a dowry, and then brought to Qingcang Mountain by her.This set of tea sets has a white background with black patterns, and it is also a valuable item in the noble family.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect Cui Panpan to take out such a precious tea set, and she had more guesses about her identity and background.

Cui Panpan took a spoon, took out a certain amount of tea leaves from the teapot and put them into the teapot, then poured clean water into the teapot, and then put the teapot on the small burning clay stove.

This set of procedures seemed familiar to Lin Xiaoxiao.Especially the pieces of flat, smooth, straight, light green tea leaves reminded her of the famous Longjing tea.

When the green tea enters the throat, the fragrance of the tea is fresh and tender, and the tea soup is fresh and mellow.

Lin Xiaoxiao stared back at Cui Panpan with wide eyes.

The silence speaks?Still have to confirm.

"What is the effective way to deal with infectious diseases?"

"Sealed."

"Which vaccine is safer?"

"Inactivated."

"What is the effective way to restrain netizens' bad online behavior?"

"Show IP ownership."

Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Panpan.When the fellow villagers saw the fellow villagers, their eyes were full of tears.

"How did you get here?"

"Accidentally fell down from the mountain, and the whole body came through, how about you?"

"I also accidentally fell from the mountain, but the soul wears it. The current body is not as good as the original one."

"Ah, we didn't cross it together, did we? Are you the one who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff?"

"Are you the one who saved me? Hey, actually, I don't want to die anymore, it's because my feet slipped."

"Fate."

alright.Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Panpan, the two people who traveled through time at the same time, finally met.

After confirming each other, they introduced their current identities to each other.

"Everyone calls me 'Mountain Girl' and regards me as a fairy."

"Hey, I'm now a concubine of the Tian Mansion, and I was sent here to guard the mausoleum of my original wife. I just had enough food and clothing."

"So it's your husband's surname Tian?"

"I haven't consummated the house with him yet, so he probably won't even remember that I'm still here."

"Then do you want to go back to Tianfu? Or are you a free man now?"

"Of course I don't want to go back, but I don't seem to be a free person. The laws and regulations of this era are not perfect, and I don't know it very well. But I am a Chinese, that's for sure."

"I have always been a savage, living in the wilderness. In the country of Slippery, the people of the country had to pay a high poll tax, which I couldn't afford."

"The country of Zheng is fine, it doesn't have so many taxes. But because of the war, savages will be recruited every now and then."
