Famous Doctor Woman

Chapter 358 The Imperial Palace is a Dragon’s Pool and a Tiger’s Den (1)
It has been two months since Chen Ying accompanied Mr. Chen to leave Beijing on the twelfth day of the sixth lunar month.

Mo Yan took the thick letter and looked at the signature. It was written by Chen Ying more than half a month ago, and it was sent to the capital quickly following Beidi's residence newspaper.

However, it was only the end of July in the lunar calendar, and it was already very cold in the north. The sun was hot at noon, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge. If Chen Ying hadn't practiced martial arts since childhood, and her physical fitness was strong, she might have been unaccustomed to the climate and contracted the wind and cold.

The folk customs in the Northland and the capital are different. Although the war has been rekindled in the border area, the people are relatively calm, and there are no shortage of merchants, and they are stepping up to transport some fur goods to the capital.

Before leaving Beijing, Chen Ying used to make up for the customs of the Northland, but when she arrived, she found that everything was different from what she thought.The Northland is not a wild place as mentioned in the book, on the contrary it is quite prosperous, and the whole city has a sense of simplicity and grandeur.

On the streets, you can see big girls and small daughter-in-laws everywhere. Women are relatively free, and they often see female waiters in shops.

Chen Ying had already seen a real war with Chen Laogong. The two generals of the Yu family sent their lieutenants to fight against the barbarians of the northern tribes. The two sides barely fought to a draw.The war horses of the barbarian tribes were fat and strong. In comparison, the war horses of Dayue were far inferior. In the battle between the two armies, one's own side suffered a lot.

War always kills people. In just a few days, Chen Ying quickly transformed from a young lady who didn't know the sufferings of the world.Because Chen Laoguo is the military governor sent by the emperor, the two generals of the Yu family dare not make things difficult on the surface, but they can't be said to be friendly.

In the north, there are only hard board beds, a layer of hay mats on the bed, and a thin layer of quilt. Every morning, Chen Ying is woken up by the chill mixed with the bleak autumn wind.Chen Ying didn't bring a maidservant with her on this trip, and she did everything by herself. She went to the shop and bought a few soft quilts, and made two beds to cover the other. This life is a luxury.

"Miss, Miss Wei Zixian seems to have said that life in the Northland is quite good, but in winter, it's freezing and snowy, no matter how many layers of jackets you wear, you still feel cold." Mo Xiang's mind was filled with the image of a mountain covered by heavy snow, A person in a thick jacket was walking hard in the snow, and she shivered unconsciously.Last year, there was a lot of snow in Kyoto, and it didn't melt until the beginning of spring. The young lady was kind enough to give a rabbit skin, which she used as a lining to resist the cold wind.

"Yeah, that's why people in the North like to eat chili and drink strong wine, because they can resist the cold."

Looking at the description in the letter, Mo Yan really wanted to go to Beidi.The eating habits of Beidi and Kyoto are very different. In winter, the common people prefer to eat hot stews, and they feel warm after drinking a few mouthfuls of soup.

Chen Ying's life was not easy, it can be said that she suffered a bit.Mo Yan looked at the lunar calendar, and it seems that it will snow heavily in Beidi in the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and I don't know if Chen Ying has a thick padded jacket.

"Mo Xiang, I remember the lord once gave me a few pieces of squirrel skin, use these to make two pairs of little boots for Sister Ying."

In the winter in Kyoto, the ladies of each family still wear single shoes, but they have to wear thick wool socks inside. In the north, it is obvious that the feet will be frozen off. Mo Yan thought about making two pairs of cotton shoes, and used squirrels on the outside Leather, to prevent wet feet after the snow melts, and a layer of soft sheepskin inside.

"Miss, you really care about Miss Chen."

Mo Xiang put away the letter and put it in a small box. After her own lady read the letter first, she had to show the young master Mo Qingfeng to read it again.

"That's right, we still need to establish a good relationship with our future sister-in-law, so that when I get married, I will also have my natal family to rely on."

Mo Yan blinked. In case Wanqi Yuling was half-hearted in the future, she was going to take her son and daughter back to her natal home, and she would have to be protected by her parents, elder brother and sister-in-law. She felt a little embarrassed that she had cheated Chen Ying before, but now Think, to her advantage.

"Hey, look what I heard, Yan Yan, you are only 13 years old, and you hate getting married?"

Lu Rong strode into the door and sat down on a chair. The maids around her were all from the Southwest. Before leaving, Jiang couldn't bear to let those maids be separated from their families. , In fact, it was also thoughtful. Those people had followed Lu Rong for many years and knew too much. When they came to Kyoto, Jiang wanted to change to a new environment.

"Let's plan ahead, cousin, don't worry, there will be a flower viewing party in a few days, mother asked me to take you and cousin together."

Mo Yan looked at Lu Rong with gloating eyes, and sure enough, she saw that Lu Rong's face froze, her head drooped in frustration, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lu Rong is already sixteen years old, and she is seventeen years old. In Kyoto, there are not many young ladies who are not engaged, unless there is a new funeral in the family, which is delayed for filial piety.So the eldest uncle's family only arrived in the capital yesterday, and early this morning, Mother Lu and Jiang went out for a walk.

In the early years, the Lu family was prosperous. Not long after Jiang married, she also made friends with several noble families. She was born in Huainan, and several sisters in the family became official wives. They took this opportunity to make friends and solve Lu Rong as soon as possible. marriage.

Lu Yan is a concubine, a few months younger than Mo Yan, as long as she can find a similar family, Jiang means that in the next year's imperial examination, a family will be selected from the poor family, so that Lu Yan can marry A straight lady, with the support of the family, will not be offended.

Jiang's plan for the concubine's concubine is entirely because Lu Yan's aunt was once a proud servant girl by Jiang's side. She is loyal and honest. Jiang was very moved when she found out about it, and the two sisters, Lu Rong and Lu Yan, had a harmonious relationship.

It is not easy for a concubine to do this. If she gives birth to a concubine, she will inevitably have to make plans for the concubine. Not to mention the former friendship between master and servant is gone, and it will arouse Jiang's suspicion.Aunt Lu Yan is smart, as long as she does her duty, Lu Yan will definitely not be bad in marriage in the future.

"I don't want to go, I don't want to participate in Lao Shizi's flower party and tea party."

Lu Rong rested her cheeks on her hands, her bright smile disappeared, and she sighed, but Mo Yan was not used to it, she played a trick on Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang understood, and automatically retreated to the outside room, only the two sisters were left in the room.Although this cousin always behaves a little bit strangely, and is generally quite pleasing, Mo Yan still needs to be concerned, "Cousin, do you have a sweetheart?"

"It's good to have it."

Regarding this, Lu Rong hung her head. Some words, it is not easy to say directly, it will shock the world. No matter who she is, she is sick, but she can't help it, that is, to those romantic sons, scholarly scholars and even martial arts practitioners. A strong man can't like it, but he can be a good brother.
