By Jia Xiuzhen

It was more than half a month later when the cold spring, which turned the capital's troubled people on their backs, finally passed, and the spring came back again.Although Li Wan didn't care about his affairs, he had no time to be idle for a while. Jia Mu's office and Mrs. Wang's office would pay her respects every day as usual, and take care of the girls more, so she didn't have time to talk to Jia Lan about body training.

This day, Jia Lan raised it up and asked Li Wan, "Mother, do you still have the medicine I soaked last time?"

Li Wan wondered, "How do you ask this? Who asked you for this?"

Jia Lan shook his head: "No, I think if there is, I'll go clubbing."

Li Wan was even more surprised, put down the book in his hand, looked at him and said, "Didn't you say that the medicine soup soaked your whole body, and you finally survived it? Why are you rushing again?"

Jia Lan lowered his voice and said: "I heard from Tuanzi that many people have been ill this time, and some of them haven't made it through yet. I don't know if the rest will recover." She looked up at Li Wan again and said, "Mother Yan read I went back to Buddha many times, and I said it was all thanks to the medicinal bath my mother gave me, otherwise, I would definitely get sick. People like Uncle Bao are in charge, and I haven’t recovered yet.”

Li Wan hugged him and asked in a gentle voice, "Are you worried about your own health?"

Jia Lan said: "I know, Dad's health is not good... I also heard from Mama Yu that when my mother was pregnant with me... so I am not born with a natural deficiency..."

Li Wan was a little dazed when he heard it, and hurriedly came back to his senses and said softly: "It's hard for you to understand all these words, but it's true, you were very sick that year, and you refused to retreat with a fever. I made up my mind to give you a medicinal bath."

Jia Lan asked again: "Mother, is that medicine so rare? Let's get rid of it."

Li Wan said with a smile: "Earlier you were clamoring to give your Fourth Aunt a bath, why are you talking about rarity now?"

Jia Lan said: "Nurse Yu said, if I give some of those medicines to Second Uncle Bao, Second Uncle Bao will not get sick."

Li Wan frowned slightly when he heard this, calmed down, and said: "Let me tell you, the medicine is a set, and there is a sequence, and it can't be dismantled at will. This one prescription, the medicine effect You Qiang, if the three are separated and used without understanding, I don't know what the consequences will be. One person has one idea, and Madam Yu doesn't understand this matter, so she said this, but it can't be taken seriously."

Jia Lan nodded and said, "Let me just say, Second Uncle Bao doesn't need others to give him things."

Li Wan took the opportunity and said: "There is only one box of that medicine, and there is not even a prescription. However, if you want to strengthen your body, mother has other ways."

Jia Lan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Mother, tell me quickly, what is the solution?"

Li Wan said: "Your grandmother passed down a body training technique, but it can only be practiced after soaking in the medicinal bath. Needless to say, the effect of strengthening the body is not something that can be practiced overnight. If you start , so we have to keep practicing, day in and day out. I think it’s too difficult, so let’s forget it.”

Jia Lan said seriously: "Mr. said that learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't accumulate steps, you can't go a thousand miles. No matter whether you are in the country or at home, you can't achieve it overnight. Mother, I will learn this, and I will be able to do it." Like reading a book, stick to it every day!"

Li Wan said with a smile: "You drop so many book bags now, and what you say is the same thing. This body training technique is really difficult to practice. At the beginning, the skills of standing, meditating, and exhaling may take about a year. There may not be a great induction; there is also a complete set of exercises, which are combined with breathing and breathing. It looks simple, but after practicing a few movements, you will be sweating profusely. It may be fresh for two days a day, and it is like this every day, month, month, and year. accepted."

Jia Lan thought for a while, and said: "Nurse Yan said that I am Mother's reliance in this world, I am not afraid of those, only when I am healthy can I stay with Mother forever."

Li Wan was shocked when he heard the words, tears welled up in his eyes, and he stopped testing him, he hugged Jia Lan into his arms and said, "Good Laner, so we will start to practice the body training technique tomorrow, but there is one thing, this matter is different from others Hugh. If someone asks you, just say that you learned the channeling technique from a book."

Jia Lan nodded and said: "I know this, I just want to be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs as my husband said!" The mother and son looked at each other and smiled.

On the second day, Li Wan began to teach Jia Lan how to breath and hold fast. The breath said in the soul, "lift the breath into the mansion, water and fire meet, breath and breath, and finally become natural." , to the end naturally.Jia Lan started to worry too much, and used too much force, almost hurting his lungs.

Li Wan was helpless in a hurry, but the state of mind that "continuously existed" could not be expressed clearly in words.Afterwards, Jia Lan asked Jia Lan to watch her breathe. Jia Lan saw that Li Wan's breathing seemed to be effortless, and suddenly he was able to breathe, which was considered to have entered the threshold of breathing.Clenching, clenching fists and breathing intervals are also connected with the mind, but it is to improve the spirit.

When Li Wan came here, he knew the dangers of practice, and thought that if he had not come across those two scriptures by chance, if he had adopted other exercises to practice, he might not know what would happen.After that, it is to practice the "Positive Soul Art" one by one, a full set of twelve sections, each section is like everything in the world, and the movements are somewhat different.In the early stage, only the four sections of the first chapter are studied, which are "heaven, earth, mountain, and river".

After Jia Lan has learned it, the daily homework for body training is to meditate, stand on the stance, and three times in the morning and evening.In addition, he is still studying in class, and he is afraid that "if you don't advance, you will retreat". After the two sides are exhausted, some energy will be exhausted.Those who didn't know it only said that the child was playing around, but it will be fine after a while, and Li Wan felt very distressed.

Fortunately, they borrowed the peach blossom snow and a few large baskets of good charcoal, and seeing Jia Lan's face turned sharp, Li Wan naturally tossed about all kinds of soup.Either the medicinal materials in the bead world are darkened and the ingredients outside are used to stew soup, or it is simply that the things in the bead world are borrowed from each other.It was only said that Li Wan was frightened by the severe wind and cold, and threw all his family money on Jia Lan, some secretly lamented the situation of orphans and widowed mothers, some were jealous of his family background, some took it as a joke, no matter what. All in one.

Today I was in the east room watching Jia Lan drink soup, Huang Jing Zizhi stewed bamboo chicken, the ingredients were all taken from the cooking room of the Taotie library, it was a leftover from the stew, but it smelled like a pot.They said they were looking for Nanny Chang, so Nanny Chang went out and came back after a while.Seeing Li Wan, he smiled wryly and said, "I have encountered a difficult matter."

Li Wan said: "Mammy, let's talk about it and discuss it."

Mother Chang said: "It was Miss Lin's mother Wang who came to look for me and said that she wanted to send a letter to the south. I wonder if we also have frequent contacts with the south. Could you borrow me a favor?"

Li Wan said: "That's simple, anyway, Madam Xu also needs to communicate with Ji Liang from time to time, and the Zhang's line that I took is said to be there in about half a month, which is quite fast."

Nanny Chang and Nanny Yan looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and sighed, "Grandma is really relieved."

Li Wan was puzzled, and Nanny Chang went on to say: "Miss Lin has had family correspondence with Mrs. Lin, and she has never heard of anyone entrusted to her. Presumably, the mansion has made its own arrangements. This Nanny Wang is Mrs. Lin. The people in front of the girl wanted to send a letter to the south, didn't they just happen to be together? How could they support us? It wasn't that the mansion couldn't meet the delivery time, and they came to ask for our help in an urgent matter, but they didn't mention Miss Lin, only that they wanted to Isn’t it weird to send a letter? Letters from master and servant have to go both ways?”

Li Wan also pondered after hearing this, and said: "Sister Lin's letters are all arranged by Feng girl, or is it not easy for Wang Momo to bother the mansion?"

Nanny Chang smiled and said, "It's not good to bother the mansion, but grandma instead? Nanny Wang is not such a nonchalant person." Biyue stood aside, hesitating to speak.

Nanny Chang smiled and said, "It's time for you to contribute, why don't you say it again? Tell me quickly, what's the rumor?"

Biyue laughed and said, "I heard that when it was snowing heavily earlier, Miss Lin's stewed medicine was trivial, and when the medicine was ready, she used a bowl of hot porridge. My wife knows, let my wife be the woman who is the head of the waiter. But my gossip seems to have nothing to do with Wang Nanny sending a letter. Now everyone knows that Miss Lin is the old lady's heart, and she can't brag about it. of."

After hearing this, Nanny Chang sighed secretly, and said, "That's right, I'm afraid that Nanny Wang has something to say to Mrs. Lin, and she is worried about writing letters..."

Yan Momo nodded and said: "Just now I heard that Baoyu asked his wife to investigate the women in the tea room. I originally said that Baoyu saw how far away the women are, so how could he get into trouble with the women in the tea room?" , I am afraid it is also because Miss Lin has been wronged."

Nanny Chang said: "Second Master Bao was indeed raised by the old lady. They all have the same temperament. The guardians are protecting people from the bottom of their hearts, and they just do bad things with good intentions."

Madam Yan nodded in agreement.Bi Yue said: "Once the old lady speaks, let's see who will dare to show Miss Lin any more in the future!"

Mother Chang smiled and said: "Sure enough, it's a child's talk. If things are so easy, the housekeeper and director couldn't be more simple. Why do you spend so much effort? You only see the old lady protecting Miss Lin, but you don't see the replacement. Miss Lin complained. The first one, Miss Lin is a guest, masters are polite and put guests first, but for slaves, it means serving one more master. It's awkward, naturally some people are dissatisfied.

Take the medicine you mentioned as an example. There is a rule on how many women are in the waiter. There is no reason to add more people for the sake of relatives. But Miss Lin is weak and sick. Asking the waiter to do a lot more work is not a good thing, and even if you put in more effort, you won't get any extra benefits. Do you think they complain?

Now that there is a heavy snowfall, and he is so busy, it is inevitable that it will be brought out in his words and actions.This is also human nature, I don't know what kind of situation it has spread to the old lady's ears, and now these women are being punished for life.Although disrespect to the master is indeed punishable, but Miss Lin is a guest after all, at this time, it is better to do more than to do less about this matter, or to give more rewards in the future, which will naturally calm these people's hearts.

After making such a fuss, how could these women be beaten out because of this?The wife is the most charitable, and she can no longer drive people out for such an idea. It is just to continue working in a place where she can't meet Miss Lin.Naturally, these people don't blame their wives, and they don't dare to blame the old lady, so who should they blame?Naturally, it was Miss Lin who complained. These three people became tigers. If there were more incidents like this, there would be no good words for Miss Lin among the slaves in the house. "

Li Wan understood in his heart, and sighed: "The old lady is also difficult. The slaves in the mansion are used to flattering the high and depressing the low. If it is according to what the mother said, the big things will be turned into small things. I'm afraid these slaves will not take it seriously." Miss Lin is the master, she is the granddaughter of the old lady, how can she be wronged like this."

Biyue laughed and said, "I don't understand these grievances. My heart, it's just that Mammy has a good plan. My wife really arranged for those women to go to the pharmacy. Anyway, I have to prepare some medicinal materials on the other side. Come to think of it. It’s similar to managing the fire in the teahouse. The woman who is the leader has just been brought up, and now she has also gone to the pharmacy, so I’m afraid she won’t be able to be the leader for a while.”

Li Wan thought for a while, then said to Nanny Chang: "Mommy should just do what Wang Nanny has done."

Nanny Chang said: "Grandma, don't be too soft-hearted... If Second Mistress and the others find out about this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid the wife will feel uncomfortable."

Li Wan nodded and said: "I've thought about it too, so let's let Nanny Wang take care of this matter quietly, don't go through Zhang's house again, and let Nanny Xu find someone else to send it along with the mothers' letters from home." .”

After hearing this, Nanny Chang thought for a while and said, "That's fine."

Li Wan said softly: "Mother, don't think I'm troublesome, I'm not a soft-hearted person. Last year, Jiliang provoked a few foreign businessmen in the south, and Mrs. Lin took care of it and helped hide it from the mansion. This is an advantage. I have to remember; when it comes to Miss Lin's situation... She is a child after all, she can't see the clues to many things, and she won't tell Master Lin, if Madam Wang can say a few words, Master Lin will also feel sorry It’s a good number, and we can count as doing good deeds.”

What Li Wan didn't say was that she also received great benefits from Lin Daiyu's fairy spirit, but a big cause and effect will naturally be repaid.

Yan Momo nodded and sighed: "It's really not easy. Everyone in this mansion is having a hard time, let alone relatives from outside." Everyone couldn't help feeling emotional when they heard this, and while they were talking, they reported that some girls had come. People stopped talking, and Li Wan got up to meet him.
