Second spring

Because of the old lady's body, the Lin family's convoy moved very slowly.

This time, the preparations are sufficient. As long as you walk two or three hours, or encounter a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, the convoy will stop, set up camp, or live in an inn.

"Xiao Liu, let's go for a walk." Mrs. Lin always ordered: "Lan Si, take good care of your young lady."

In the words of Mrs. Lin, "traveling thousands of miles" is also very important to the daughter's family.Only after you have seen it, your vision will expand, and you will not be trapped in the inner house, and you will live in a pitiful life.

For women raised in deep boudoirs, getting married is nothing more than going from one inner house to another inner house. What they see and hear cannot compare to those things, and they have exhausted all their energy and talents for those things all their lives. How can they not be pitiful?Poor!

"Yil..."

This is a high mountain on the way. The mountain is steep and overgrown with wild animals, making it extremely difficult to climb.But on this mountain, the morning glow and evening rain, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing, not to mention the scenery that can be seen at any time on the way, but standing on the top of the mountain, there is immediately a majestic and impermanent momentum, which makes people feel emotional and full of emotion.

The group of them climbed up with great effort.

As soon as he came up, Lin Jiakang was so excited that he couldn't express it. He immediately asked someone to set up a painting shelf, found an angle, and swung his pen with all his heart.

"You seem to be very casual about your future, but Mother thinks it's because you haven't met someone who makes your heart beat." Lin Yijia stood against the mountain wind and spoke slowly.

"Mother, why do you say such things to your daughter?" Lin Yijia said calmly: "Mother, you said that, didn't you let your daughter make mistakes? You have found a suitable husband for both the elder sister and the third sister. I believe you can also find a suitable daughter for your daughter." people."

Parents to enrich people.

Before Lin Huijia and Lin Minjia got engaged, there was no so-called "heartbeat"?

Mrs. Lin was dumb, she let out a long sigh, and closed her mouth.

She didn't know why, for this last daughter, she was always worried about gains and losses.Could it be because this is her last daughter?She cared so much about her daughter's happiness that she lost her sense of proportion?

Lin Shiqing patted Mrs. Lin's hand comfortingly.

"Father, mother, let me take a look over there." Lin Yijia pointed to the front, where there seemed to be a very tall tea tree.

"Well, be careful." Lin Shiqing replied.

After Lin Yijia left, Mrs. Lin sighed and asked softly: "What do you think happened to me? I was very angry when I saw her standing with the young master. But when she gave up her life completely When we were in charge, I felt that she didn't care at all, and I was afraid that she would not be able to be happy in the future... Sigh!"

"You, I just don't want to part with my daughter." Lin Shiqing said jokingly, "Think about it, if I tell you that we will soon recruit girls. Would you be able to make decisions for your daughter immediately? Just like Min'er at that time .”

Mrs. Lin was shocked when she heard the words, and immediately said: "Where did you get the news! Is it really going to be drafted? That's right. So far there is no one in the new emperor's harem, so of course we want to recruit girls... But our family is not an official family. Is it? It has nothing to do with us! No, no, Daxian also has a saying that 'concubines come from the people'..."

Lin Shiqing watched his wife, who had always been calm and calm, lose her measure due to his assumption, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, a little helpless and spoiled, she couldn't help but patted her arm again, and said: "Rong Qing, Rong Sir! I'm just assuming!"

"It's just a hypothesis..." Mrs. Lin came back to her senses and felt that she had overreacted.Wei Wei felt a little embarrassed, then pinned the hair around her ears, and said: "However, your assumption may not happen."

"Emperor Yingqing will marry the queen at the beginning of next year...According to the rules, at least four concubines should be elected in the next year, and after that, there should be a general election..." Mrs. Lin did some calculations and said: "Then Yier The marriage must be settled within two years. This time, no matter what, I can't let Yier take any risks."

"En." Lin Shiqing nodded and said: "But Rongqing, think about it, were you dissatisfied with Zhao Shiyan at the beginning, and you had to agree because the old man's face was not good enough to refute? Think again, you are not satisfied How much is it true? If you are really dissatisfied, you will really give the old man face? You are actually very satisfied with him in your heart, aren't you? Is that the same with Kang Yongtong?"

Mrs. Lin thought about it for a while, then laughed and said, "I understand what you mean..."

The reason why she is always dissatisfied is not because others are really bad, but because she thinks her daughter is the best.

Lin Shiqing smiled in his heart: It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the happier she is; while the father-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at her, the darker her face is... Why is it that he weighed himself in front of his husband and wife?

It really is a tea tree.

Looking at its branched canopy, it is as big as an old banyan tree. It seems to be at least several hundred years old, or even a thousand years old.Under the nourishment of the sea of ​​clouds and rain on the top of the mountain, the leaves of the tea trees are as beautiful as jasper, with a lustrous luster.

According to the records in ancient books, the tea made from such tea tree leaves can cure hundreds of poisons, which is hard to find!

Lin Yijia cheered in a low voice, but she was not reckless, and said, "Lan Si, go under the tree and see if there are any insects or snakes."

Lan Tian agreed, stepped forward and looked left and right under the bushes with a wooden stick for a while, then turned around and nodded to Lin Yijia: "Miss, it's all right."

Lin Yijia approached, and was about to reach out to pick the leaves, when suddenly she placed her bare hand on a piece of tea leaves, her gaze fixed: This tea tree seems to be picked by someone on a regular basis, and the traces are very obvious.The person who picked it was very careful, picking only a little each time, obviously he cherished this tea tree very much.

"Ah, Miss, there's a sign here!" Lan Tian exclaimed softly.

Lin Yijia took back her right hand and saw that there was indeed a very conspicuous wooden sign hanging on the tea branch in front of Lantian, so she walked over.After walking over, she realized that it seemed that standing in this position was the most convenient place to pick tea leaves.

"Treasures of heaven and earth, everyone loves them." Below the big characters, there is another row of small characters.Said: "Please cherish this ancient tea tree if you are destined, and pick it in moderation, thank you very much."

The words written are ordinary, but between the strokes, people who read the words can feel his gentleness and sincerity, and are willing to obey his pleadings.These words are really well written.

"Miss, who wrote this?" Lan Tian asked.She can also read and understand the meaning between the lines.But I don't know the meaning of calligraphy.

"I don't know." Lin Yijia shook her head and said, "It should be someone who loves tea and lives nearby. This person has a good heart, so let's listen to him and pick less tea, so as not to affect the growth and health of the tea trees. A tea tree, probably thousands of years old. It would be a pity to die."

"Thousand-year-old tea!" Lan Tian's eyes lit up, and said, "Then can this tea really cure all poisons?"

"I asked Grandpa Li, and he told me that this statement is a bit exaggerated." Lin Yijia picked some leaves carefully, and said, "However, it can cure many common poisons that are not immediately fatal. Yes. En. Grandpa Li must be very happy to see these tea leaves."

Lan Tian nodded, and raised his foot to help Lin Yijia pick tea, but seeing how carefully his lady chose each piece of tea, he felt that it was not easy to intervene, so he found a plain handkerchief that he had never used, and stood beside her to carry Lin Yijia. Picked tea leaves.

Because of being cautious, thin beads of sweat appeared on the tip of Lin Yijia's nose.She was afraid that her sweat would be stained with tea leaves.If it affects the essence of the tea, don't rub it.Continue to search and compare with full concentration, and occasionally grab a piece from the leaves.

There are dozens of leaves on Supa in a short time.

These leaves are like a drop in the ocean for the huge tree crown surrounded by more than a dozen people, not worth mentioning.Lan Tian even began to mutter in his heart: Is it necessary to be so careful?There are so many leaves on this tea tree...

"Miss, someone is coming." Lan Tian reminded.

Lin Yijiashun looked over, and saw a young man in blue walking slowly, as if the steep mountain road could not hinder him at all, relaxed and freehand, just like a picnic in the green fields in spring, carefully walking through the mountains and trees from time to time. Pick some fungi and throw them into the basket on your back.

He was actually a herb collector.

But his leisurely and freehand attitude doesn't seem like a herbal picker.

After getting closer, Lin Yijia found that his clothes were very simple, made of fine and strong linen, on his feet were a pair of cowhide boots, from the mouth of the boots to the calf, tightly wrapped with linen strips.Except for a wooden hairpin in a bun on the head, there is no other decoration.He looks very young, about 23 or [-] at most, and his appearance is not very outstanding, but his brows and eyes are gentle, and he can make people feel good and trust him at first sight.

He seemed to have finally noticed Lin Yijia and the others, and walked up a few steps. After seeing Lin Yijia and Lantian Lansi, he was slightly taken aback, and then he cupped his fists and saluted, "Sorry, I don't know how many girls are here, please forgive me if I offend you. "

Like his eyebrows and eyes, his words are also sincere and gentle, like the warm sun on a spring day in March.

Lin Yijia was lost for a moment.

"Dare to ask..."

"My surname is Liu." The young man said.

Lin Yijia pursed her lips, and asked with a smile: "Dare to ask this Mr. Liu, is this brand written by Mr.?"

"Don't dare to take it." Liu Qingnian said: "This brand is exactly what I wrote. The girl doesn't know that there is more than one thousand-year-old tea on this mountain. When I first came to this mountain, I found a total of 33 ancient teas. Unexpectedly, when I came back half a year later, three of the tea trees withered due to over-harvesting. At the moment, my heart ached and I thought about it, so I put a sign on each ancient tea tree and talked with my heart."

"As far as I know, those herb pickers, tea pickers, and mountain people are illiterate, right?" Lan Tian glanced at his young lady, and then said, "Sir, I'm afraid that this move won't work?"

"This girl doesn't know something." The young man surnamed Liu said with a smile: "The local people rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they are simple-minded, so it is extremely difficult to make a tree that cuts down trees for fruit. People who pass by occasionally, when they find the treasure of heaven and earth, It is extremely difficult to control the joy and unintentionally make sabotage."

Makes sense.

Lin Yijia nodded.If she hadn't seen this brand, although she would not have destroyed this ancient tea tree, she might have picked more out of joy.However, ancient tea trees are sometimes extremely fragile, and it is possible to die with a little carelessness.

"Mr. is careless, my daughter will be educated." Lin Yijia saluted.

The young man turned sideways, glanced at the Supa in Lantian, seeing that he didn't get much from it, he smiled sincerely, and said: "Young lady is a lover of things, so Liu will not bother you."

After finishing speaking, he saluted slightly, and walked down the mountain from another rock.The blue clothes flickered among the trees, and soon he disappeared.

This person is free and easy.Lin Yijia thought to herself.

Lan Tian held the Supa carefully, saw his lady was contemplating, and asked cautiously, "Miss, shall we still pick tea?"

Lin Yijia regained consciousness, nodded and said, "Pick some more."

Caring for ancient tea trees does not mean not picking a single piece of tea, which is a waste.If Lin Yijia's expectation is correct, the traces of picking the tea tree in the past are probably done by the young man surnamed Liu.

"I heard from him that there are about [-] tea trees in this mountain. Are we..." Lan Tian asked.

"You don't have to force it." Lin Yijia shook her head and said, "Didn't you hear him say that there are tea pickers haunting this mountain? Because this ancient tea tree is on the top of the mountain, we can still pick some. The others are just average. .”

"Oh." Lan Tian said no more.

Lin Yijia didn't pick too much, but carefully wrapped two packs of hundreds of leaves. It took a total of less than half an hour before returning to the top of the mountain to join her parents and others.Lin Jiakang's painting already has an outline, and only needs to be finely crafted.At this time, he was watching carefully and appreciating the beautiful scenery in his eyes as if no one was around.

When Mrs. Lin saw her daughter coming back, she smiled and said, "Did Xiao Liu find something good?"

"Ancient tea, I'm afraid it's thousands of years old." Lin Yijia was in good spirits, and said, "Let Grandpa Li take a look when we get back."

"Since it is a thousand-year-old tea tree, why did you only pick this part?" Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up when she heard the thousand-year-old tea.Looking at the tea tree from their direction, there are mountains and rocks blocking it, so they can't see it clearly.Therefore, she only paid attention to the fact that Lin Yijia and the others had no accidents over there, and she didn't know anything else.

Lin Yijia then told the young man surnamed Liu and the sign on the tree: "...I just got some and brought them back. I'll show it to Grandpa Li before I go back. If Grandpa Li is interested, I'll just come back and pick it up."

She didn't know much about tea, nor did she know much about medicinal materials, let alone tea as medicine.Among the tea leaves she picks, there are those that are withered and yellow that are about to fall off, some that are most stretched, some that are half-opened, and even a few pieces of new buds, all for the purpose of allowing old doctor Li to have a comprehensive understanding of such a tea tree. learn.Just like the wooden sign said "treasures of heaven and earth", how could she spoil them at will?
