Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 615 Xiao Qing

The two maids looked at each other, and saw surprise in each other's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Young lady, please come in."

The courtyard is not very large, but it is beautifully decorated.

After a good sleep, Song Ying woke up in the morning and saw a bunch of gardenias planted in the yard. In the southeast corner stood a small rockery made of Taihu stones, only one person tall, but exquisite. Under the stones was a curve of running water, where a few red carps were raised.

There is a weeping crabapple tree planted at the foot of the west wall, and a bluestone is placed under the tree. Song Ying can imagine how comfortable it would be to sit on the bluestone in the summer, leaning against the tree trunk, reading a book and enjoying the cool air.

Three small rooms with curved roofs had window lattices cracked with ice and covered with moon-white gauze. Now half-opened, the windows revealed the furnishings within: a huanghuali wood desk by the window, a few freshly picked magnolias slanted into a Ruyao brushwasher on top; the treasure pavilion contained no antiques, but only medical books.

Song Ying's attention was immediately attracted. She picked up a book and flipped through it. It was a collection of doctors' notes collected by her master. The cases recorded in it were not very rare. Song Ying read it with great interest, comparing the other party's treatment ideas with her own.

When Doctor Lin returned, she saw this scene. She smiled and said, "Aren't you tired after such a long journey?"

"I'm not tired. Master, who is this note from? He is so bold in using medicine!"

Doctor Lin glanced at it and said, "Doctor Li, he practiced medicine in the army in his early years, fighting for lives amidst the flash of swords and spears. How could he have the time to carefully consider the properties of the medicine? He is familiar with the use of tiger and wolf herbs for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis, but the combination of qi and blood conditioning is..."

At this time, the maids brought up the food.

Doctor Lin took the notebook from Song Ying and said, "Alright, hurry up and eat. Then have a good sleep. You can read these books anytime."

Song Ying agreed.

I slept until the afternoon, had a meal, and then went back to sleep. By the next morning, I had finally driven away the fatigue of the past few days.

The morning was cool. Song Ying picked up a notebook and sat on the bluestone under the crabapple tree to read it.

Just as he was fascinated by the scene, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the side, "Junior Sister."

Song Ying turned his head and saw a young woman in an apricot-colored jacket standing at the door. She had a smile on her face, but she also looked shrewd.

"Who are you?" Song Ying was puzzled. Didn't her master only accept her as his apprentice? It seemed that her uncle had only accepted her as his apprentice.

"My maiden name is Xiao, and my given name is Qing," the young woman approached and took her hand affectionately. "I'm the master's eldest disciple. You can call me Senior Sister."

clear……

Song Ying suddenly realized that she was the Miss Qing that Xiaolu and the others were talking about!

Didn’t the master refuse to accept her as his disciple?

Just as she was wondering, a maid came out and saw her and said, "Third Young Madam, please go back. Our master is still resting."

The third young lady?

Song Ying was slightly surprised. This Miss Qing married into the Lin family?

Xiaolu and the others didn't say anything. Given their personalities, they would definitely tell something as shocking as this.

Could it be that they don’t know?

Xiao Qing smiled, "I want to talk to my junior sister."

She held Song Ying's arm and said affectionately, "I heard that Junior Sister comes from a farming family. The Lin family is different from the outside world. There are many rules, especially the second branch..."

Before he could finish his words, a light cough was heard in the room. Doctor Lin was standing at the window looking over here.

Her expression was indifferent: "Qing girl, why are you here to see Song Ying so early? Is there something wrong?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Qing's face. She let go of her hand, but her smile remained unchanged as she said, "Auntie, are you all right? I heard from my fourth brother that you accepted a junior sister in Qingshui County, so I came to see her specially."

"Now that you've met her, get busy and don't disturb her rest."

Xiao Qing could no longer maintain the expression on her face, "Then Junior Sister, please rest first. I won't disturb you."

After she left, Doctor Lin's eyes fell on the book in Song Ying's hand, "Are you really not tired?"

"I'm not tired. I slept for a day and I'm alive!" This journey was not a day and night journey. Except for some initial discomfort, Song Ying got used to it later.

"It's great to be young," Doctor Lin sighed, and then said, "Then let your senior brother take you out for a walk."

"There's no rush. Let's get down to business first."

"There's no time to rush for serious business. Go play first."

It was Song Ying's first time in the capital, the most lively place in the country, so he was naturally curious. When he heard Doctor Lin say so, he agreed.

As soon as they left the Lin residence, Song Ying asked curiously, "Senior brother, is your third sister-in-law Miss Qing, the one who used to make medicinal food at the Shen residence?"

"Have you met her?"

Song Ying nodded. "She came over this morning, held my arm affectionately, and called me Junior Sister."

Lin Wenxuan rolled his eyes, very disdainful, "What kind of senior sister is she?"

"So what exactly is going on? I remember Xiaolu and the others saying that she stayed in Beijing because of her marriage and didn't follow the Shen family to Qingshui County."

Lin Wenxuan was immediately furious, "It was only after I came back this time that I found out that she had some talent in medicine. My aunt had originally planned to take her in as an apprentice, but considering her family's financial difficulties, she also let her work at the Shen Mansion.

But she never expected that her medical studies were fake, and she actually wanted to marry the young master of the Shen family and become his mistress.

She planned to let the young master of the Shen family accidentally see her changing clothes, forcing the Shen family to marry her, but she didn't expect that my third brother was with the young master of Shen.

The Shen family refused to accept a woman as calculating as her, so the third brother had to marry her. Also, because she had been a nominal apprentice of the aunt, having her as a concubine would have been disgraceful to the aunt, so the third brother had no choice but to marry her as his legal wife.

Because of this, Second Aunt is still angry at Grand Aunt. "

Song Ying frowned. From the title, it was clear that Master's position in the Lin family was not easy despite its seemingly glorious appearance. Xiao Qing's plot would definitely affect Master's relationship with his family.

Moreover, the master should be very disappointed.

She wanted more women to study medicine, and she taught her disciples wholeheartedly, but she only wanted to find a good marriage and didn't really want to learn medicine.

Lin.

After receiving the report from the maid, the second lady ignored the rest of the family, handed the pair of cards to the nanny in charge, and went straight to the Buddhist hall.

"Sister-in-law, please keep an eye on Wenxuan."

The eldest lady of the Lin family opened her eyes, handed the rosary in her hand to the maid, stood up and asked, "What happened to Wenxuan?"

"You didn't see how intimate he was with that country girl yesterday, chatting and laughing as if no one was around. Just now, the maid came to report that as soon as the girl left the house, she came up to Wenxuan and chatted non-stop.

Watch out, don't bring up another Xiao Qing, it's disgusting enough now!"

The eldest lady was not in a hurry at all. "In front of so many people, doesn't it just prove that there is nothing wrong between the two of them?"

No one knows a child better than his mother. Although he mentioned his junior sister from Qingshui County many times, his words and expressions only showed the love between brother and sister.

What's more, that blockhead can actually make money.

Among the gifts brought back, there was one specifically for her son. As a mother, how could she not be worried?

When she saw him reading a letter, she deliberately broke in, only to see him counting silver. The bright silver ingots almost dazzled her eyes.
