The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 25: The Thrush Girl

The tall ancient city gate gives people a sense of simplicity and heaviness. People come and go in an endless stream at the city gate.

Jian Yue lifted the car window curtain and looked out.

Yanling Mansion is not her home of wealth and luxury, but her real battlefield. She wants to take back the life of the original owner here and help the original owner to avenge his hatred. After fulfilling the original owner's wish, she will find a place near the mountains and rivers and live a free and easy rural life.

Jian Yue kept stretching her neck to look outside, and Cui Er didn't dare to laugh at her. After a few days of getting along, she also understood Jian Yue's temper. As long as you don't take the initiative to provoke her, she is still easy to get along with.

The carriage drove in the city for another half an hour before arriving at the residence arranged for the Jian family - a small courtyard in Qingshui Hutong.

In the original owner's memory of rebirth, it was said that this courtyard was bought with Yan Xinning's private money.

Jian Dacheng and his wife had always told Yan Xinning that Jian Huaian had a great talent for studying. In addition, Jian Huaian had passed the examination for a Tongsheng, and Yan Xinning also wanted to cultivate a helper completely of her own, so she tried every means to get the Jian family to move to the city to create better conditions for Jian Huaian to study.

As to the facts, it remains to be verified.

The small courtyard is not big, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the east and west sides. The west side is the kitchen and utility room. Next to the utility room is a well and a wastewater tank. The two side rooms on the east side are guest rooms. There is also a two-meter-wide backyard behind the main room, where the toilet is built.

All the basic necessities of life are prepared, and the kitchen is fully equipped with firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Aunt Rong did not get off the carriage. She gave a few instructions in a depressed tone and then prepared to return home to report.

Qian hurriedly grabbed Rong Mama's carriage and begged, "Rong Mama, please tell Miss Xinning to get a famous doctor. My master and my son are dying."

Xinning has high hopes for Huai'an. If she knew Huai'an was sick, she would definitely take care of him.

Rong Mama said "hmm" and told the driver to hurry up. This trip to the countryside had cost her half her life. She also needed a famous doctor to see her.

The driver helped to lift Jian Dacheng and his son down, and drove the carriage away quickly. We had to find a river to wash the carriage thoroughly, otherwise it would be unusable.

After four days of bumpy ride, Jian Dacheng and his son suffered terribly. Now their eye sockets were sunken, their faces were pale, they were breathing out more than breathing in, and they looked like they were about to die at any time.

The east wing had good lighting, so Qian let Jian Huai live there. She decided to use the other wing as his study.

The east room was naturally occupied by Jian Dacheng and his wife, so the west room became the bedroom of Jian Yue and Jian Xiaohe.

There was only one bed in the west room, and Jian Yue took it directly. Jian Xiaohe didn't dare to argue with her, so she went to find Qian to make trouble.

Qian wanted to wait for Yan Xinning's next instruction and didn't want to spend more money, so she let Jian Xiaohe stay in Jian Huaian's study for the time being. There was a small couch in the study for daily rest.

A maid was left in the courtyard to welcome the Jian family. She was sent by Yan Xinning to clean the house and help the Jian family get familiar with the surrounding environment.

Jian Yue and the maid made lunch. It was too hot, so Jian Yue wanted to eat something light, so she made a dish of cold beans and a dish of cold day lily. Qian's nose almost went crooked with anger.

It’s okay to eat radishes and vegetables in the countryside, but when I got to the city, the food is still so bland. Can’t we eat something better?

Jian Yue hehe: It's so hot in the kitchen, with frying and stir-frying, who can stand it?

Qian was very angry.

Just hold it in for now, Xinning will definitely find a way to deal with her.

Jian Yue was also very tired and fell asleep after lunch.

Just after 3 p.m., a pretty woman in a light green gauze skirt came with the famous doctor from Yanling Prefecture.

Jian Yue woke up after sleeping for an hour because of the heat.

It would be nice if there was ice to use. For a poison doctor, making ice is a simple matter, but she couldn't show it in front of Jane's family.

Jian Yue went out to wash her face and saw an old man with white hair and beard writing a prescription in the main room. A medicine boy stood behind him and fanned him.

There was also a girl in green standing next to her. The girl seemed to have sensed something, and her eyes fell on Jian Yue as soon as she appeared in the yard.

Jian Yue recognized her at a glance. She was Yan Xinning's maid Huamei. Huamei left a deep impression in the original owner's memory of rebirth. Many of Yan Xinning's methods of dealing with the original owner were carried out by this Huamei. It can be said that she was Yan Xinning's most capable accomplice.

Jian Yue pretended not to see her and took a bamboo basin to the well to scoop water to wash her face.

The bamboo basin was made very delicately, with smooth edges and a few bamboo leaves carved on it. Jian Yue seemed to smell the fresh scent of bamboo.

After washing her face, Jian Yue went to get some water to drink.

"Jian Zhaodi." Qian called her at the door.

Jian Yue came out: "Mom, what's the matter?"

Qian: "The doctor has prescribed the medicine, you go get it."

"Where is the clinic? Is it far?" Jian Yue said to the old man.

Huamei replied, "It's not far. I'll take you there. I came here in a carriage."

"Oh! Excuse me, who are you? I don't know you, but I don't dare to follow you. The old people in the village say that there are many prostitutes in big cities. They disguise themselves as all kinds of people to lure women and children."

The little medicine boy looked at Huamei and wanted to laugh for some reason, but he tried hard to hold it back.

The thrush's face darkened.

Qian scolded angrily: "What are you talking about? This is Miss Huamei, the maidservant beside Miss Xinning. She brought the famous doctor to treat your father and your brother. Not only did you not thank her, but you also treated Huamei as a human trafficker. If the human trafficker looked as beautiful as Huamei, would he still be a human trafficker?"

Huamei: ...You might as well not say it.

"Oh! It turns out to be the head maidservant beside Miss Yan Xinning! I'm so sorry! Your clothes are so beautiful! Are all the maids in the mansion so beautifully dressed?" Jian Yue's expression was a little exaggerated, she even wanted to touch Huamei's clothes.

Huamei dodged away in disgust. She didn't want this poor guy to dirty her clothes. Look at what she was wearing, her clothes were much better than hers. Moreover, she deliberately emphasized the word "maid", was she trying to annoy her?

"Enough! You're the only one talking too much nonsense. Hurry up and follow Miss Huamei and don't cause any trouble for her." Qian pushed her.

"Mom, give me money! How can I get medicine without money?" Jian Yue stretched out her hand.

Qian hit her hand angrily and scolded her: "You don't have to worry about the money. The medical expenses are all paid by Miss Xinning. Miss Xinning is a beautiful and kind girl, not like you who is so unfilial."

Jian Yue's face sank: "Mom, please explain clearly, how am I unfilial? I am in the countryside serving the family food and drink, doing all the housework, you eat rice and flour, I can only drink the watery wild vegetable soup and the water used to wash the pot..."

The little medicine boy at the side was stunned.

Pot washing water? Isn't that the swill used to feed pigs?

here we go again! here we go again!

Qian interrupted her hastily...
