The old lady of the Lin family in Honglou

The weather turned cold, and I went all the way south in order to catch up with the itinerary. Fortunately, I was well prepared before, and everyone didn’t get seasick. Xiao An’an also adapted very well. He had to run a few laps on the deck every day. Little An'an didn't even have a place to bask in the sun for activities.Along the way, only when passing through a few large piers, do we stop at the shore for a day to rest and buy some fresh fruits and vegetables.It is not easy for Lin Lin and Jia Min to travel. Every time they stop, Lin Ruhai will take An An out for a walk.

There are a lot of merchant ships and cargo ships traveling from south to north along the way, and some large docks will still be congested. In order to go smoothly along the way, we did not go too fast. It took almost a month to pass Huai'an and enter the border of Yangzhou.Perhaps seeing Yangzhou arrived, Lin Lin felt relieved from the exhaustion all the way. Only one night, Lin Lin started to have a fever, and it took half a day to arrive in Yangzhou City, but Lin Lin's fever tended to worsen, and Jia Min also began to feel unwell. Lin Ruhai was worried. It would be useless if the delay continued, so the group had to stop at Gantang and go ashore to seek medical treatment from a doctor.

What Jia Min diagnosed was water and soil discomfort, as long as he cultivated well, Lin Lin was indeed ill, and the illness was gone like a thread, so it was really not suitable for her to go on her way. The housekeeper quickly found a small yard and rented it out.

On the second day, Lin Lin stabilized, and let Lin Ruhai go to Yangzhou first. After all, Lin Ruhai had been delayed for a long time, and besides, it was very close from Gantang to Yangzhou City, so he couldn't find the big courtyard and Gantang Town in an emergency. It's not too big, so Lin Ruhai asked the butler to stay, worried, and went to Yangzhou first with other people and luggage.

It took about four or five days for Lin Lin to recover. I have to say that her body is aging. In just a few days, Lin Lin obviously saw a lot more gray hair on her head.Both Lin Lin and Jia Min were raised, and little An'an was of course quiet for a few days. Seeing that Lin Lin was getting better, An Anke couldn't sit still anymore, and pointed to the door and wanted to go out.

Lin Lin was tired after lying down for the past few days, and wanted to go out for a walk, so she took Sister Lin, Shuya, and the other two servants, and they went out with seven or eight people.

Gantang is not a big town, but it also has a long history. Although it is a casual trip today, Zhuqing and the others quickly found out where there is fun.Lin Lin took Xiao An'an and walked around the town. Fortunately, the town was not crowded when it was not a market today, so it was very comfortable to wander around.But it's also a pity that it didn't catch up with Gan Tang's famous Huagu Opera.

Along the shore of Shaobo Lake, I bought some small things from time to time to coax Xiao An'an, tasted some street food, and walked to Gantang Temple before I knew it. It was said to be Gantang Temple, but it was Xiegong Temple. The descendants of Xie An, a great Confucianist in the Jin Dynasty, this temple was also built by the descendants of the Xie family to worship their ancestors, and then it became a temple somehow, but most of the local people worship here on New Year's Day. Also in it.

Now that she's here, Lin Lin will naturally take An An inside to burn incense.There was a statue of Mr. Xie in the temple, so Lin Lin asked An An, "Xiao An'an, do you know who Mr. Xie is?"

Xiao Anan happily pointed to the portrait of Mr. Xie and said, "An'an knows that Mr. Xie is him."

Lin Lin was stunned, "How did An An know?"

An An let go of Lin Lin's hand, ran over to point to the word Xie Gong and said, "Grandma, it's written here, it's such a big word."

Lin Lin asked in surprise, "Does An An recognize this word?"

An An raised her head proudly, "Daddy taught me, and An An can still recognize a lot of characters." An An looked around the plaque couplets in the temple with great interest, then quickly lowered her head, and said sullenly, "But here I don’t seem to have seen many.”

Lin Lin walked over to touch An An's little head and comforted her, "An An is already very good. She needs to learn day by day. When she grows taller, she will know a lot of words. Then she can write like Daddy. A lot of words, impatient children will not grow up."

Xiao Anan recovered immediately, "Well, Daddy said that he needs to review his homework every day."

"Can An An tell grandma when she started to read?"

An An thought about it seriously, and became depressed, "Grandma, An An can't remember." But she seemed to think of something again, and said happily, "Grandma, let me tell you a secret, the first word An An recognizes is ours. My family's Lin characters, my father taught me to write it, but unfortunately I still can't learn it."

"An'an's ability to recognize characters is already very good, and learning to write will have to wait for this little hand to grow up." Lin Lin smiled while holding An'an's little hand. "Okay, let's remember this Mr. Xie today. An An must remember that Mr. Xie is a very powerful person, how powerful he is, and let daddy tell An An when he goes back, okay?"

An An nodded, "Okay."

"Then, let's go and offer incense sticks to Mr. Xie." Lin Lin took An An's little hand and walked into the hall.

Mother Lin has already prepared the incense on the side.

After offering incense, Lin Lin held An An and visited the Gantang Temple. Although the Gantang Temple is now divided into several parts, it occupies a large area, and the repairs are very good and tidy. It can be seen that the local The strength of the Xie family is still very strong. The Xie family still has many branches in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It seems that each branch is very influential in the local area. Although the Xie family has no strength in the court, the Xie family can still do so after thousands of years, which shows that The Xie family's family background is very profound, and the family traditions are almost engraved in the flesh and blood of every member of the clan. If the Lin family can develop into such a family, Lin Daiyu's ending will not be like that.

Although the Lin family is said to be an aristocratic family, after this visit, Lin Lin feels that the Lin family is still far behind.The Xie family flourished thousands of years ago, and it still cannot be underestimated. There are too many things worth learning from the Lin family. After returning this time, we must let our son get in touch with the Xie family.

Lin Lin was experiencing the history of Xie's family in front of the stele pavilions.

At this moment, an old woman next to her came up to Lin Lin and knelt down.

Lin Lin was taken aback by this move, and An An hugged Lin Lin tightly, looking quietly at the old woman in front of her.

"Why does this old lady do such a big gift, get up quickly." Lin Lin signaled Shuya and the others to step forward and help Ginseng up.

"For the sake of old friends, Mrs. Lin, please save my young lady?" The old lady kowtowed, but she didn't speak loudly, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

Lin Lin thought she was an acquaintance, so she quickly asked Nanny Lin to come over to see who it was from?

"Old man, get up first, and speak well if you have something to say. You are embarrassing my wife." Shuya pulled the old woman up.

Lin Lin looked around, but luckily no one noticed.

The old woman had gray hair and a haggard face. Although her clothes were neatly pulled, the scars on them showed that she hadn't washed and changed for many days.

Nanny Lin looked at it for a long time before saying, "Are you old Nanny Su from the Gu family in Gusu?"

The old woman hastily admitted that tears came down her eyes, it seemed that she had suffered a lot.

Nanny Lin stepped forward to help her, "How did the old sister get into this situation? Didn't the Gu family release the old sister to raise her?"

Grandma Su raised her sleeves and wiped away her tears, "It's a long story, please save my lady first, my lady is dying of illness." Nanny Su looked at Lin Lin and pleaded.

Lin Lin thought that since she knew her, she should save the person first, and then ask Nanny Lin what happened later, so she said, "Nurse Lin, let's go and see the person first, and understand other things later. "

Seeing that Lin Lin agreed, Mother Su begged to go to the doctor first, and they lived in the temple.

Lin Lin asked the fast-running servant to find the doctor quickly, and the group followed Old Madam Su, walked through a few alleys, and came to a low and damp wing room. Lin Lin was afraid that she would be unkind to An An, so she asked her to Sister Shu Yalin went in to see what was going on.

After a while, Nanny Lin came out, "Old Madam, Miss Gu is suffering from a high fever, her condition is very bad, and the environment here is not good, it's better to move Miss Gu out of here first."

Zhuqing came up and said, "Old Madam, I remember that there are sedan chairs outside the temple, so I will find a sedan chair to come in."

Grandma Su just came out of the room and heard it, so she said, "Miss Zhuqing, absolutely not, sedan chairs are not allowed in this temple, you have to carry the young lady out."

"Then let Shuya carry it, Lin Nanny will support it, Zhuqing and you guys will help cover it." Among the group of people, only Shuya was stronger, so another young man ran out to find several people. The sedan chair is ready.

Zhuqing and the others quickly went in to help, and Madam Su also took the initiative to pack the things, and the group returned to the rented place just like that. Lin Lin went out to the temple entrance and asked the servant to find someone quickly to bring the doctor to the rented place. live there.

When Lin Lin returned to the small courtyard, everyone got busy and helped Miss Gu's family tidy up, and the doctor arrived.

The doctor took a thin pulse for a while before saying that the girl's health is too bad, and now I can only prescribe it to reduce the fever, because the disease is delayed for a long time, it is best to treat it with acupuncture and moxibustion.When Madam Su heard this, she panicked completely, what should she do?Could it be that my young lady is really hopeless?

Lin Lin could see the panic of Old Madam Su, and knew what she was worried about, so she said that there was a medical girl, and she could do the acupuncture.Only then did Madam Su feel relieved and asked the doctor to prescribe the medicine quickly so that he could grab the medicine and boil it.

Everyone was worried. It wasn't until Ms. Gu's family took medicine and stabilized that Lin Lin remembered that she didn't have lunch, but Jia Min had already prepared it.

Lin Lin asked sideways about Nanny Lin's Gu family after finishing her meal.

It turned out that the Gu family was a cousin of the Xiao family, and because they lived close together, they often walked around. Lin Lin had met the girl from the Xiao family before, and also met the girl from the Gu family a few times.Nanny Lin knew a little more when she went out to inquire about the news. As for why she has fallen to such a state, only if she is willing to talk can she know.

Lin Lin thought, Mother Lin seemed to have mentioned before Xiao's family that the family background and education are good, but Miss Gu's family did not go to ask for help but appeared here. I am afraid that there is another big bloody story in it.

Miss Gu's family has a high fever, so she has to be careful, and Madam Su never leaves her. Fortunately, the weather has turned cold now, otherwise it would be even more difficult for the two of them.

Under the careful care of Mrs. Su and Chi Shao, Miss Gu's fever finally subsided the next day. Seeing that Miss Gu's fever had subsided, Lin Lin didn't want to delay her trip any longer, although it only took more than half a day from Gantang to Yangzhou Mansion. I asked Mrs. Su if she would like to accompany her to Yangzhou Mansion.Grandma Su still wanted to be protected by Mrs. Lin, and thinking that the journey was not far away, she quickly agreed.
