Foster son and husband

Chapter 34 Gossip
Mei Niang took the girls away, Ruizhu Ruibao didn't dare to come in to serve without being called, and just waited in the corridor.Xu Junying, Zhang Jingyun, and Lingxuzi made tea and shared it by themselves, while continuing to chat.

Zhang Jingyun said to Lingxuzi: "Your master Wei Zhenren loves orchids very much. I didn't expect that the third master and third grandmother in this mansion are also a pair of elegant people. They love orchids and become obsessed. They collect and grow orchids. There are so many varieties that you never imagined , during which there was Jiangbei Xuelan carefully cultivated by Zhenren Wei! Because it blooms all the year round and has an elegant fragrance, it is specially placed in the bedroom and study. I don't want to pay attention to other matters, no one knows the strangeness of that orchid grass, the third grandma here is extremely shallow!"

Lingxuzi sighed slightly: "Master carefully cultivated Jiangbei Xuelan back then, but he didn't explain the characteristics of this bluegrass to our brothers and sisters. Once the master went out for a wandering, the elder brother was responsible for taking care of Xuelan. A friend came to visit, because he loves Xuelan's whiteness. There is no time, the fragrance is tangy, and I begged for it several times, but the senior brother couldn't bear it, so I secretly gave him a pot. Two years later, the master came back to ask for it, and then went to ask for it. The bluegrass had been divided and given to many people, so the master said In addition, the fragrance of orchid grass originally had the property of causing female sterilization. It was spread, and it would harm the women who love orchid grass. The senior brother was severely punished for this. I was still young at the time, and I only knew that the master and the senior brother tried their best to find the missing snow orchids. But I didn't expect that the third master and third grandmother of the family also received this kind of orchid grass. You should explain to them just now that this orchid should only be grown in the open space of the outer courtyard, and should not be given to young women at random!"

Zhang Jingyun nodded: "I've made it clear, the antidote prescription will probably take a while to recuperate."

Xu Junying was embarrassed: "I was looking for me to reminisce about the old days, but I bothered to remove the troubles for my family. Fortunately, it was not someone else, so there is no need to say thank you!"

Lingxuzi smiled and said: "Jingyun and I met in the dense forest and deep valley in the east. At that time, we were only eight or nine years old. He came with his master and stayed for six years. The two masters allowed us to travel together by ourselves. He took me there. Mobei Grassland, I met you and that one, we are not in the military camp, but we have lived and died with you, we have been friends with each other for many years, do we still divide each other?"

Thinking of the past, Xu Junying couldn't help feeling deeply moved, and poured tea for the two of them with a smile: "My life was picked up by you, if he didn't have you, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived that time. We came out of danger...you haven't seen him for two or three years, right? How did he find you this time? Didn't it mean that we each went back to Master, why are we together again?"

Lingxuzi lowered his eyes, and Zhang Jingyun said: "It was a coincidence that I was found by him. As for Lingxuzi, maybe he should be called Xia Xueyuan now? It's just that he refused to take off this Taoist robe - he was sick and dying when he was four years old Father Xia had no choice but to give him to Zhenren Wei, who traveled to his hometown. Seeing that he was pitiful, the real person made an agreement with him: If the Xia family had another son, Lingxuzi would not need to come back. If there were no more sons, Lingxuzi would take off his Taoist robe at the age of 25, return to the Xia family to marry a wife and have children, and continue the incense. ... This time Wei Zhenren entered the customs to practice, called Fang Lingxuzi to return to his hometown to visit his parents, but in fact he was kicked out by his master. He didn't go back to his hometown, but came to look for me. !"

Xu Junying looked at Lingxuzi in amazement: "So, Brother Xia has turned 25 years old and is about to return to vulgarity? Very good, very good!"

Lingxuzi lowered his head, full of melancholy: "What are you doing? Just imagine what kind of mood you will be in if you want to become a monk? I'm afraid it will be worse than that!"

Zhang Jingyun laughed, and Lingxuzi stared at him: "What are you laughing at? Master told me that even if you return to vulgarity, you can cultivate yourself. I don't have to take off my Taoist robe! But you, can you not enter that house? "

Zhang Jingyun put away his dry smile, his sallow face was rigid and indifferent, and snorted: "What are you doing in there? The day my mother died, I broke up with him, and I have nothing to do with him!"

Xu Junying sighed: "The flesh and blood of the dearest relative can be broken if it is said to be broken? At that time, you escaped from the house, but you were only five or six years old, and you were taken away from the capital by your master. I heard that he also looked for you for several years. Sad and sad, after all, he is the eldest son..."

Zhang Jingyun said angrily, "Don't mention the eldest son to me—I only know that I have a mother, but I don't know that I have a father!"

Lingxuzi looked up at him: "I have never met Duke Jing, but you have to wear this human skin mask when you enter the capital. I guess you and him must be very similar. The fact is so, how can you tolerate it?" Ignore? Can you hide from each other for a lifetime?"

Zhang Jingyun sneered: "Life is not long, the world is so big, I don't necessarily have to live in the capital. My grandfather and grandmother are old, and I can only go back and forth to visit them twice a year. It's okay to have my uncle around I don't want him to send spies to call us to live in Beijing for a long time, but this is not what I want!"

Xu Junying said: "The night before you came, he went to Yiyun Villa outside the city, just because the queen had a sudden desire to see the stars... I guess he will return to the palace soon after hearing about you. He and the queen have been very affectionate since they got married. , The empress is weak, she finally conceived a dragon fetus, but she fell ill every three days, and the imperial physicians have nothing to do, this time I called you to Beijing to recuperate the empress' body, I am afraid that you will stay here until the empress gives birth."

Lingxuzi looked at Zhang Jingyun and sighed: "What a big deal! If I had known this, I wouldn't have gone to you, why not... Hey! His royal family has Yiyun Villa, and you have Guiyun Villa, what is the connection between them? "

Zhang Jingyun lazily said: "My mother gave birth to me back then, and she didn't want me to belong to the Zhang family tree, so she named herself Jingyun. Guiyun Villa was built for me by my grandfather. The villa has nothing to do with it."

Xu Junying smiled and said: "It's really unrelated, it's just a coincidence. The Queen's boudoir name also has the word "Yun", and the Yiyun Villa was built especially for her. There are two villas, Guiyun and Yiyun, one is in the south and the other is in the north. Eighty miles away, it's a long way!"

"So that's it." Lingxuzi looked at Zhang Jingyun, and said solemnly: "The Xia family also has a shop and a house in the capital. I don't want to disturb them. I only live in Guiyun Villa. If you bother me, just tell me, and I will also build it tomorrow." A 'Liuyun' villa to live in!"

The three laughed, and Xu Junying said: "There is one more thing, let me tell you first: there was a small battle in the west, and the good news just came back, it was the enemy soldiers who were repulsed by King Qi, but he was seriously injured, and now he is traveling day and night Send them back to the capital. King Qi is the youngest brother of the emperor. He is a compatriot of the same mother. Returning from a serious injury, the Empress Dowager is heartbroken, and the Emperor doesn't want the younger brother to make any mistakes, after seeing the Empress, he may let you go west to meet the King of Qi, and I will accompany you when the time comes!"

Zhang Jingyun nodded: "When he came down from the battlefield, it was nothing more than a flesh injury. As long as the accompanying doctors stopped the bleeding, he could protect his wound from necrosis. With a sigh of relief, we will naturally try our best to save him when we catch up!"

Lingxuzi suddenly remembered something, looked at Xu Junying and said: "Your young lady's pulse is very good, but after all, she has been bedridden for a long time and cannot move around. ——I just checked her pulse, and there are scratches on the back of her palm. In the pulse image, there is a slight blood stasis between the tendons and collaterals. It seems that she has stumbled heavily. She didn’t need medicine at first, and she will gradually get better. I can see her words and actions , do everything when she thinks of it, but she seems to be strong and doesn't take care of herself very much, you can give her this bottle of Liuhe pills, one pill a day, it can help her recover her strength."

Xu Junying declined and said: "Liuhe Pill was developed by your master's life-long painstaking efforts. The life-saving pill is extremely precious, so keep it for urgent use. She has recovered like this, and she is already very good!"

Lingxuzi put a jade bottle on the table: "Give it to her, she has this blessing——Before entering the customs, Master wrote this pill recipe for me and burned it down. Preparation, how much do you need?"

Zhang Jingyun looked at Xu Junying, and joked, "Don't you want your young lady to grow stronger? You are a master at marching and fighting, but you also have a vicious eye. There should be no regrets in this life. Brother Xia and I are far less blessed than you, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone who knows and understands in this life!"

Xu Junying didn't say anything, just played with the little jade bottle in her hand, with a smile on her face, but bitterness in her heart.
