A life of ups and downs is pure joy

The maid Chuxia came in with a bowl of medicinal soup. Lin Qingyao asked about today's consultation, and she answered truthfully.

"Did Medical Saint Xiao really say that?" Lin Qingyao asked in disbelief.

"Yes, he also said that girls will get better and better if they eat more meat and walk more." Chuxia stood aside, reporting happily but timidly.

"You guys serve her well. If Qinghuan gets better and better, the whole Lingzhu Garden will reward her." Lin Qingyao waved her sleeves domineeringly.

"Qinghuan, Daddy will be back on the fifteenth of next month. Take good care of yourself and try to attend the family dinner and make Daddy happy."

"Okay, I understand, big sister." Su Jin agreed obediently.

After Lin Qingyao left, Chu Xia gently massaged Su Jin's legs and sighed in fear.

"Miss, if you hadn't protected Lixue and me, we would have been beaten to pieces by this board today."

"Has Big Sister always been so strict?" she asked curiously.

"Girl, I dare not say it." Li Xue lowered her head in fear.

"It's alright, I'm the only one here today."

"The eldest lady is extremely strict with us in the courtyard. She is afraid that we are not serving her well." Li Xue's aggrieved voice sounded really pitiful.

"Why is that? You treat me very well on weekdays." Su Jin asked puzzledly.

"It's all Ginkgo's fault. If she hadn't caused the young lady to catch a cold and be unable to get out of bed for two months, the young lady wouldn't be so worried about us." Chuxia complained angrily.

"Who is Ginkgo and what happened to her?" Su Jin asked curiously, looking at the two of them. It seemed that she had not heard this name in the yard in the past few months.

"The girl was still young at the time and may not remember much. Not only did Ginkgo sneak out to meet a man outside her home during the winter night watch, but she also left the window next to the couch open all night. The girl contracted a serious disease and almost didn't survive the winter. The girl was furious at the time and punished everyone in the yard. Ginkgo's leg was broken and she was sold to a human trafficker. I heard that man outside her home is gone too." Chu Xia said to Su Jin with lingering fear.

"Uh, this." After hearing this, she didn't know what to say. Is the life of a servant so worthless? Shouldn't she be thankful that she was reborn as a young lady? If her soul traveled back in time as a servant, she would have to live the life of Su Jin in her previous life again.

Holding the courtyard door, she watched the maids and servants busying themselves. Everyone who passed by had to bow to Su Jin once, and after they left, she could hear them whispering to each other. Chu Xia told her that most people in the mansion had not seen her, so naturally she knew very few of them. This was a good thing for her, so that she would not have to meet people without knowing how to speak, which would arouse people's suspicion.

"Miss, it's just the beginning of autumn. The Fengmu Pavilion in the front yard is a good place to appreciate the Fengmu flowers. I have asked someone to decorate it a little. Let me help you go there." Chuxia took out a white robe with a velvet collar embroidered with purple rose flowers and put it on Su Jin.

"I can walk by myself, you don't need to support me." Pushing her arm away, Su Jin lifted her skirt and took her first step.

"By eating well and taking the prescriptions given by Doctor Saint Xiao, the girl looks more energetic now. She walks steadily and doesn't breathe heavily." Li Xue stared at Su Jin nervously, her hands never relaxing, ready to step forward to support her at any time. The picture looked like a toddler followed by a group of parents.

The pavilion was decorated by them in an extremely elegant way. The imperial concubine's soft couch appeared again, covered with a thick cushion. When you get closer, you will find that it is actually a complete tiger skin, which is really surprising. Various cakes and fruits are placed on the small stone table, and a Luoxia-style guqin is placed next to the table. A slim woman in pink clothes stands in front of it. When she sees Su Jin coming, she walks around the guqin.

"Sister Qinghuan is here. I have always wanted to visit you all these years, but my elder sister is too worried about me and doesn't let us go to bother you. We live under the same roof, but we haven't seen each other for several years." The woman in pink held Su Jin's hand and helped her sit down. The dimples on her cheeks looked especially deep because of her smile.

"I have been bedridden for many years and my memory is not very good. I wonder which sister in the family it is?" Su Jin looked at Chu Xia helplessly, then asked with a smile.

"It's all our fault. This is the second young lady from Jialanyuan." Chuxia and Lixue knelt down hurriedly.

"It's okay. Qinghuan was only four or five years old when she last saw me, so naturally she doesn't remember anything. My sister has suffered over the years, but now she's getting better. I'm very happy too. We can play the piano and appreciate the flowers together again in the future." She held Su Jin's hand affectionately. She didn't look like a fussy person, but rather very easy-going.

"Second sister, are you here to enjoy the flowers too?" Su Jin asked. Looking at the beauty of the spring scenery in the garden, she felt inexplicably happy.

"My sister doesn't remember me, but I'm sure she still remembers the sound of my guqin. I came here uninvited today to chat with her." She patted Su Jin's shoulder gently, walked straight to the guqin, sat down and started playing.

The Kunshan jade is shattered and the phoenix is calling, the hibiscus is weeping in the dew and the fragrant orchid is laughing, and the sound of the zither is flowing. It is like suddenly being in a quiet valley. The graceful lady, the zither and the qin are in harmony, her jade hands gently touch the strings, seemingly soft and weak, but as fast and precise as a sword. It can be seen that she has practiced the zither for many years. She should be Lin Qingwan, the daughter of Concubine Chang. I heard from Chuxia that Concubine Chang was originally a musician in the palace. The emperor held a banquet to celebrate Lin Mutang's success, and the Lin family had an concubine who was good at playing the guqin.

"Second sister's piano playing is so intoxicating. No wonder all elegant people love music." After taking a sip of hot tea, Su Jin couldn't help but praise.

The delicate hands stroked the strings of the zither, and the song ended gracefully. Lin Qingwan stood up, and the maid beside her helped her adjust the hem of her skirt.

"I remember someone pestered me to learn piano when I was a kid, but after playing the piano a few times, his hands started to hurt. I wonder if Fifth Sister remembers who that person was." After saying this, she laughed secretly, her cheeks slightly red.

Su Jin naturally didn't know about these things, but she had to cooperate with her and pretend to be embarrassed by being teased.

"Sister, you are so lazy. This piano music is so exciting. You can't play it well without hard work. In the future, if I can get better, I will definitely pester you to teach me."

"There are still many days to come, and Qinghuan will come at any time. Sister will be very happy." After Lin Qingwan finished speaking, she held up the teacup with both hands and took a sip.

"Look at how beautiful the phoenix-eye flowers are blooming." Su Jin said, pointing to the sea of flowers in front of him.

"Daddy always favors Fengmu. The gardeners have to take good care of it at this time. The whole Luofeng City knows that the Fengmu in our Lin Mansion is the most beautiful." Lin Qingwan raised her little face, feeling particularly proud.

After returning to the room and sitting in front of the bronze mirror, Su Jin took a closer look at the face of the original owner, Lin Qinghuan. Her fair and pretty face looked particularly pale due to years of illness. The two dimples at the corners of her mouth were quite special. Overall, she looked like a sickly little beauty.
