Painting Doctor Jinhua

"Look, she really wrote me down in the little notebook. Sanlang, do you think she wrote me down on the page of gratitude or the page of hatred?" Li Mi said to Cui Heng mockingly, while staring at the little notebook in Fenghuang's hand. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. "Hey, what kind of paper is that? I seem to have never seen it before. And what about that pen?"

Before he finished speaking, Fenghuang quickly put away the pen and book and hid it in her arms. Li Mi didn't see it clearly and was a little disappointed.

At this time, Cui Heng scolded in a low voice: "Stop talking! Who told you to tease the lady!" He bowed to Xiao Jinyu from a distance and said, "Shierlang is naughty. I offended you with my words. I hope you will forgive me!" After that, he pulled Li Mi and wanted to leave.

Li Mi still struggled and said, "Hey, Sanlang, please don't talk nonsense. I'm serious. How can I tease you?"

After walking a few steps, Cui Heng suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"That person seems to be Xiao Xianlang, who is known as the most talented person in Jiankang!" Cui Heng stopped and said, catching a glimpse of a white figure sitting in a wheelchair and looking at this side from afar.

"Then let's go and pay him a visit! I've heard of Xiao Xian for a long time, but seeing him is better than hearing about him. Moreover,..." He leaned close to Cui Heng's ear and said, "He is also a relative of this young lady, right?"

……

The two of them whispered for a while and then walked towards Xiao Xian, without noticing that Xiao Jiuniang, who was hiding far away and watching from a distance, almost bit her teeth to pieces, looking hatefully at these figures who seemed to be strolling in spring and talking and laughing.

Especially at this moment, some people in the crowd passing by were pointing fingers at her, and talking about her with disdain and contempt:

"This Ninth Lady of the Xiao family is really stupid and vicious. In order to prevent the Xiao family's granddaughter who is living outside from returning to the family, she actually came up with a sinister trick to destroy the Xiao family's reputation and slander the reputation of her own daughter."

"The mistress of the Xiao family is even more cruel. She actually sent several assassins to hunt down her granddaughter. How deep is the hatred?"

"Yes, yes! It's really pitiful for that young lady Xiao Jinyu, who was stranded in a foreign land all alone. She finally returned to Southern Chen from the north to visit her relatives, but she still had to suffer torture and persecution from her relatives..."

"That young lady is really beautiful! And her demeanor when she was defending her mother just now, she was calm even when faced with a huge crisis. This is the demeanor of the famous scholars passed down from the Wei and Jin dynasties, right?"

"Not bad, not bad. That is the temperament and demeanor of a true aristocratic family that can only be cultivated over a hundred years. Compared with that, Xiao Jiuniang... is far inferior!"

Hearing these discussions, Xiao Jiuniang became even angrier. She glared at Xiao Jinyu fiercely and said with gritted teeth, "Just wait and see!" Then she covered her face in shame and left. The other noble ladies also dispersed in shame.

Ah Xiu had never seen such a scene before. When she saw the hatred in Xiao Jiuniang's eyes that seemed to want to destroy her, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Madam...we..." she reminded tremblingly.

"Let's... go back too!" Xiao Jinyu said softly, without any fear in her tone, and she walked forward leisurely with a flick of her sleeves.

The beautiful boy named Fenghuang followed Xiao Jinyu as if nothing had happened, and walked towards Jianxi Hutong. After an unknown amount of time, Ah Xiu suddenly heard Xiao Jinyu calling her, "Ah Xiu, since you have chosen to follow me, you don't have to be timid. No matter what happens, it's nothing to me... If you are not afraid of death in this world, what else is there for you to be afraid of?

I know you were not like this before, you don't have to suppress your nature in front of me."

"Yes, ma'am!" Ah Xiu responded, and the gloom and fear in her heart were immediately swept away. She followed Xiao Jinyu towards Jianxi Hutong.

The remote Zaochunyuan deep in Jianxi Hutong is the newly bought residence of my wife. After what happened today, it seems that my wife has no intention of moving and is determined to live here forever.

Without an ox cart, the three of them walked quickly forward. Fortunately, the distance was not far, and they arrived at the gate of the courtyard in a cup of tea.

"Brother Qing, those assassins... are we just going to let it go?" Fenghuang suddenly said indignantly, "Just now, that Jiankang Zhengzong Yuan, I saw him looking at Xiao Jiuniang frequently, his fawning attitude was obvious. If it weren't for the two young men from the Zhaojun Li family and the Boling Cui family here, I wouldn't want to offend the envoy from the north, and I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have ended so well."

"Yes, they helped me today, and we are grateful for their help." Xiao Jinyu pondered for a moment, and then said, "Phoenix, let's forget about this matter. I don't expect to get anything out of these assassins. Princess Yunyin is a princess of the Chen family after all. It's normal for these people of low status to flatter the powerful and bully the weak in order to survive!"

"That's true. However, after what Xiao Jiuniang did, Brother Qing did win back some reputation for Aunt. This matter will surely spread in Jiankang City soon!" Fenghuang smiled happily and said, "Brother Qing is really amazing. Did you deliberately force Xiao Jiuniang to say that?"

Xiao Jinyu looked at Fenghuang and smiled slightly.

"Yes," she replied.

The smile was extremely gentle and doting. It spread across Xiao Jinyu's changed face, revealing a warmth like a spring breeze and a thawing glacier.

Fenghuang was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she asked, "What should we do next? How can we get the Xiao family's head mother to invite Brother Qing back to the Xiao family?"

Thinking of what Xiao Jinyu said to Xiao Xian that day, Fenghuang felt an urge to give it a try.

Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but smile: This child, doesn't want to live a stable and peaceful life watching the flowers bloom and fall in the courtyard, but is always curious about the life full of swords and dangers.

After all, he is still young! He is a newborn calf, fearless and brave!

She is somewhat similar to her past!

"No hurry, we may have to go through more storms!" Xiao Jinyu suddenly lowered his voice, "And we still need to wait for another old friend!"

"Old friend? What old friend?"

Fenghuang asked curiously, but just as she finished her words, she heard a sound of footsteps.

"Who is it?" The boy, who had a natural sensitivity to unusual sounds and movements, shouted loudly. Turning around, he saw a young and beautiful woman walking towards him with a little girl in pigtails.

The little girl blinked her big, watery eyes, which were clearly black and white, and was looking at them with great excitement and surprise.

It was the little girl I saved on the street that day.

"Sister, you are the sister who saved me that day. Mother, we have finally found our benefactor sister!" The little girl shouted happily and jumped into her mother's arms. After a moment, she ran to Xiao Jinyu again.

"Sister, my mother and I have been looking for you for a long time. I just heard from people on the street that Xiao Jiuniang bullied you again and you had an exciting debate with her. My mother and I asked those people where you were and followed you here. Sister, you won't blame me and my mother, right?"

The girl's innocence brought Xiao Jinyu's thoughts back to more than 20 years ago, when the sisters of the clan gathered together to recite poems and chat. Yuxuan, who was five or six years old, was the same age as the girl. She always dragged her out to play and see the elegance of those celebrities.

"No wonder. What's your name?" Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but squat down so that the little girl could look her in the eye.

"Sister, my name is Ayuan, and this is my mother!" The little girl happily pointed at the woman behind her.

Xiao Jinyu then turned her gaze towards the woman. Unlike the haggard face she wore when she met her on the street last time, this woman today had a ruddy complexion, sparkling eyes, rosy lips, a topknot, and wore a water green ice silk dress that trailed on the ground. She looked even more beautiful, with a smile on her lips, which made people feel even more intimate.

When they first met last time, some fragmentary memories emerged in Xiao Jinyu's mind. She thought that the original owner was grateful to this woman, so there was a trace of warmth and kindness in her heart, but she didn't know who this woman was.

Just as he was wondering, the woman spoke first: "Last time I met you on the street, you advised me to soak my feet in hot water before going to bed, and my insomnia for many years has eased a little..." At this point, she raised her hand and bowed to Xiao Jinyu very respectfully, "I am Yuan Rujing, the daughter of Chenjun Yuan family, and now I am married to the Fan family. You can call me Fan Yuan, or you can call me Aunt Rujing..."

"You are originally from the Yuan family of Chen County. My grandmother is your aunt?" Xiao Jinyu asked.

"Yes!" the woman replied, with a hint of shame in her eyes, "And Rujing used to be close friends with your mother Xiao Luan, as close as sisters. After that incident, Xiao Luan left home, and Rujing felt so guilty that she suffered from insomnia and dreaminess for many years."

When the woman said this, Fenghuang's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help asking, "What makes you feel so guilty? What do you know?"
