The medical concubine is too difficult to tease

Chapter 24 Buddha's Birthday

At dawn, Cui's mother walked into the inner room, and saw his wife in a plum-colored inner dress, sitting in front of the dressing table, dazed.

"It's only five o'clock, why did Madam get up?" Cui's mother put Lin Qing on a coat and asked softly.

Lin Qing came back to his senses, and looked at the peacock-headed round bronze mirror and asked leisurely, "Where did the master rest last night?" She sent someone to invite Li Yuan to come to the Yiyue Pavilion last night, and said that she was still dealing with political affairs in the study, but she waited She fell asleep and didn't see anyone, and when she woke up, the whole bed was cold, just like her heart.

"...Last night I went to Jiang's house late at night, and my servant didn't dare to disturb you when she saw that Madam was asleep."

"Ms. Jiang... She is only two years younger than me, but you can see her face without a few wrinkles. As for me, I have gray hair." Lin Qing stroked her somewhat round face and tugged With loose long hair, he suddenly pushed aside the bronze mirror, and slammed the table heavily!
The bronze mirror fell to the ground with a bang, and it was very clear in the silent room. Mother Cui was startled.

"It's been almost half a year, and he hasn't stayed overnight in Qiyue Pavilion once. He even left with a meal on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. If this continues, what status do I have in this mansion? Has he considered it for me? Why not be a concubine!" Lin Qing panted heavily, her eyes were red.

"Ma'am, calm down, this servant will help you to sit down." Mother Cui put the bronze mirror away and advised in a low voice.

"There is also Yue'er, as soon as the one from An Ran Pavilion came back, he forgot about me, Yue'er! Those good words that coaxed me in the past are no longer there!" Lin Qing raised his eyes fiercely, with a gloomy expression, "No, I, Yue'er, can't lose! Mother Cui, prepare the carriage!"

In the main building of the wharf rudder, Lin Qing looked at the messy room in distaste, fidgeting restlessly with his nose covered by a handkerchief, and looked out the door from time to time.

Lin Gang came late, with a scruffy beard and a strong smell of alcohol. His hangover face was gloomy and fierce.

"Why are you looking for me?" Lin Gang asked impatiently as he threw himself on the tiger skin. He really didn't want to see the couple now.

"Brother, you don't clean the house, what are your servants doing?" Lin Qing stepped forward and kicked a wine glass, and couldn't help scolding angrily.

Lin Gang raised his thick eyebrows, sat up abruptly, and shouted, "Yesterday you didn't feel satisfied after being scolded by a man, but today you came to scold me, right? Ge Laozi, I really think I am willing to be angry with you?"

Lin Qing was taken aback, and remained silent for a while, asking Mama Cui to wait outside the door.

"Brother, I have something important to talk to you about today."

In Yunxia Pavilion, Li Ruyun, who was dressed in a light blue dress, was delicate and frail, and helped A Niang to sit down. Seeing her slightly heavy expression, she asked softly, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Jiang Li took off her lavender cloak and put on a plain long skirt. She has been favored by the years, her figure is still slender, her soft face has the gentle charm of a woman, she forced a smile at her daughter, "It's nothing, but I got up early today Some, a little sleepy."

"Auntie, is Madam making things difficult for you again?" Li Ruyun frowned, her watery eyes were full of worry and distress.

Jiang Li sighed, with helplessness on her pretty face, "I'm used to it." After Li Yuan went to court in the morning, Lin Qing sent someone to let her go, but Lin Qing was not in the house at all, and she Standing in the cold and bleak courtyard, after waiting for more than an hour, a maid came out and dismissed her casually.

"Auntie..." Li Ruyun approached Jiang Li, stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders, her eyes were full of helplessness and numbness, she and her mother had been following the rules in the house, being cautious, wishing to shrink themselves, but still could not avoid being bullied and trampled on. fate.

"Yue'er really said that?" Lin Gang sat up and stared at Lin Qing like a torch.

Seeing Lin Qing solemnly nodding his head, Lin Gang got up and paced back and forth, frowning and meditating. At Li Yuan's place, he was just a handyman. In [-], he asked Li Yuan for an official position more than once, but Li Yuan refused for various reasons.

Before the change, Lin Gang would not take risks. After all, killing the daughter of a family is too big of a crime. Li Yuan would not let him go if the incident happened, but after being insulted by Li Yuan last night, he is now He was on fire, walked around, narrowed his sharp eyes, and looked at Lin Qing.

"Are you sure that if you kill her, your daughter can become Princess Huan?" If he could really marry the popular King Huan, he would naturally prefer Li Ruyue compared to Li Ru'an who had no relationship with him.

"Most outsiders only know that it is Miss Li who is married to King Huan, and they don't name her name. That girl has been in the country for a few years, and few people in Beijing have long remembered her. As long as she dies, Xiangye has no choice. Naturally, I will go to the Queen Mother to lobby, then I, Yue'er, will definitely win the Queen Mother's eyes and marry into the palace!" Lin Qing said slowly, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

It is difficult to control Li Yuan, but it is much easier to control Lin Qing and Li Ruyue. Lin Gang pondered for a moment and thought it was feasible, then looked at Lin Qing.

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Qing got up, approached Lin Gang, and explained the plan in his heart in detail.

"Fifteen, the day after tomorrow? I need to prepare manpower, so why is it so urgent?" Lin Gang frowned. The person to be killed was Li Yuan's eldest daughter, and there were many Li Yuan's people around him. You can't employ people casually, they must be one of your confidantes. people.

"It can't be delayed any longer. She seldom goes out on weekdays. In a few days, it will be the anniversary of her mother's death. Apart from white clothes, she will go to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager. When the time comes, there will be no room for change!"

Lin Gang hesitated for a while, gulped down, slapped the table, and looked at Lin Qing viciously, "Okay! But remember, if you and your daughter don't keep the promise in the future, the big guy will die together!"

Fifteen, Buddha's birthday.

Ziyan Alan was holding the cloak and hat, admiringly looking at the young lady in the silver silk white dress, her black hair was half up, and only a jade white hairpin was pinned obliquely.

"Miss is really pretty." Alan murmured with his mouth open.

"You little girl, do you know what is good-looking?" Li Ru'an pursed her lips, and stretched out her hand to pinch Alan's little face.

"Alan thinks that people who look good in white clothes are good-looking." Alan rubbed his cheeks and pouted.

Xuegu, who was arranging Li Ru'an's skirt, laughed, "Alan is right, my lady, even if she doesn't wear red and green, she looks very good-looking. It's all right, let's go out, the old lady and the others should be leaving too."

At the gate of Li Mansion, three carriages were already waiting at the bottom of the steps, and a dozen house servants in blue clothes and a row of women in gray clothes were standing behind with their heads bowed.

Mother Sun helped Fan out of the gate, followed by Lin Qing, who was dressed in a deep purple robe, and led Li Ruruo. With a hint of cruelty.

"Sister." Li Ruyun, who was wearing a light yellow dress, nodded shyly at Li Ru'an and smiled, demure and gentle.

The maids and servants of each courtyard followed, and they boarded the carriage in a mighty manner. Fan took one, Lin Qing took Li Ruruo in one, and the remaining three girls took one.

After leaving the city gate, Daguan Mountain was [-] miles away from the city, followed by a group of servants, the carriage was moving slowly, and it took more than half an hour to arrive.

In the spacious carriage, Li Ruyun sat with her head bowed, Li Ruan leisurely enjoyed the scenery outside the window, while Li Ruyue stared at the exquisite profile, recalling what A Niang said to her last night, suppressing the ecstasy and excitement in her heart, twitching Covering the upturned corners of his mouth with a veil, he spoke in a delicate voice.

"Eldest sister, there are forests and farms outside, what is there to see? My sister heard that there are a lot of vegetation and forests in the deep mountains in the countryside. Eldest sister has not seen enough."

Li Ru'an was as stable as Mount Tai, and she didn't give her a single glance from the corner of her eye. She spoke lightly, her voice was cold and pleasant, and she walked like pearls, "Elms and willows shade the backside, peaches and plums are in front of the hall, and the countryside and villages are naturally unique and interesting."

Li Ruyue frowned and was slightly surprised. She remembered that in the past, Li Ruan would just be like her mother, studying and reading those medical books. Li Ruan never went to the poetry and song gathering held by ladies in Kyoto. She has never heard of this poem.

"Oh, the countryside is vulgar and barren, the elder sister said it so nicely, my younger sister almost believed it." Li Ruyue covered her mouth and chuckled with a contemptuous expression.

Li Ruyun bit her lip and glanced at Li Ruyue, squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and hesitated to speak.

Li Ru'an withdrew her gaze, and smiled faintly at Li Ruyue, "Mother Hu didn't believe it at first, so she insisted on looking around, and then she slipped into the lake and drowned."

Seeing Li Ruyue's eyes widen, Li Ru'an deepened her smile, her cool voice became a little deeper, and she sighed, "I'm out of breath, my body is full of water, swollen and swollen, and my eyes are still open." I was bitten by a fish a few times, oozing blood, and I will die with regret."

Dan Kou clenched the veil tightly with five fingers, and a swollen corpse appeared in her mind. The familiar face looked at her with bloody eyes. The old man next to Lin Qing has watched her grow up, and often comes to Linglong Pavilion to put her to sleep.

"Ah, and later, the servants buried her in the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village. The bamboo grew very well. I remember that before going out, Mama Hu said that she would pick a few thin bamboos and take them back to make pens for Miss Er. What a pity, I don't know if she will entrust you with a dream and apologize to you."

"Don't talk about it! I don't want to hear it!" Li Ruyue turned around and rubbed her raised arms, shook her head and shouted loudly.

Li Ru'an raised her eyebrows and continued to look out the window, leisurely. Li Ruyun beside her breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Li Ruyue who was trembling. She lowered her head to hide the raised corners of her mouth.

There was no words all the way, the carriage stopped at the foot of Daguan Mountain.

On the evergreen brick and stone steps, the buildings of Folin Temple are grouped high on the mountainside, located on a concave mountain, with their backs facing east and west. Looking from a distance, there are layers of temples built on the mountain, and the blue-gray hall Ridges, pale green towering ancient trees, are majestic and majestic.

The market at the foot of the mountain was bustling with people, incense sticks, incense candles, ingots and blessing papers were placed in front of the small vendors. The servants brought back several light sedan chairs with plain weft yarns on them.

Li Ru'an put on the hat and got out of the car, Li Ruyun followed closely behind, Li Ruyue regained her breath, annoyed at her gaffe just now, staring at Li Ru'an's back hatefully.

Sitting on the sedan chair again, the servants carried it, and the maidservant followed. The group of people finally reached the gate of Folin Temple.

Today's Buddha's birthday, most of the women's families in Beijing have come. The courtyard of the temple is spacious. There are more than [-] buildings in the whole temple, such as halls, halls, and rooms. Looking around, there is a group of servants surrounded by their masters, surrounded by cigarettes. Zen bells are ringing.
