Chapter 205 Female Guards
After a while, Mrs. Lin also came over. When she walked in, she greeted Yang Xu with a smile.
"When I saw a donkey cart outside, I knew it was you. It's so cold outside, why did you come so early?" Mrs. Lin asked with a smile.
"I just thought there would be fewer people in the morning, and the weather never gets warm, so I simply came here earlier. Auntie wore a lot of clothes today, are you very afraid of the cold?"
Mr. Lin is thin, and you can tell by looking at the clothes he is wearing now that they are really three layers inside and three layers outside. But looking at his face, he doesn't feel hot at all, but he is very afraid of the cold.
"No, it's better for me to spend the summer, but the winter is very sad. I basically spend it on the bed, and I am very afraid of the cold." Lin said helplessly.
She was in poor health. She had a narrow escape when she gave birth to Ah Sheng, and later she was unable to get pregnant again. The doctor diagnosed her with uterine cold syndrome, which caused severe pain when she was a child.
Later, I have been taking medicine to recuperate, and I am feeling better, but I am very afraid of the cold. In winter, my hands and feet are cold.
"Auntie, you are still taking some warming medicine? You need to take good care of yourself and you must not stop." Zhou Yan said.
When she mentioned this, Mrs. Lin fell silent, because this disease is not acute, and it only feels uncomfortable in winter all year round. She does slack off many times on weekdays, and Zhou Cun will watch her.
There are times when she is negligent.
"If Auntie doesn't speak, then she must have secretly not taken her medicine. I want to tell uncle." Zhou Yan said with his lips pursed.
"Oh, there's a big problem here. I don't want children now, and I feel much better. People say it's a medicine that's three parts poison. I'm fine, so I'm too lazy to take it anymore. You tell your uncle.
It's no use, he can still look at me every day."
"Recuperation is still needed, but if Auntie really doesn't want to take medicine, she can consider dietary supplements. Pay more attention to it on weekdays and eat some warm and tonic foods. Avoid eating things that are cold in nature. In winter, you can drink more hot tea.
"Ginger tea is the best." Yang Xu said with a smile.
If she is forced to take medicine for many years, she will definitely not be able to accept it. Moreover, it is not an emergency, so just take care of it slowly. Taking medicine is not a good idea.
"Well, my body will feel warmer if I drink tea. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. They are all sick. I know what's appropriate." Lin said with a helpless smile.
How come we are discussing the matter of whether she takes medicine or not? Today is obviously a good day, so why are we still talking about such topics?
"I think Yanyan's room is much warmer. When I just entered the door, I looked at the curtain. It was very thick. It must have blocked the wind, so the room is very warm."
"Well, I went to Sister Yang's place in October, and she put it on. I felt very warm at that time, so I quickly came back to find someone to make one. I just put it on a few days ago, and I gave it to my aunt.
I made one, and I estimate it will take two or three days to complete. I will send it to my aunt then."
This curtain is very thick and not easy to make. It is more difficult than making a quilt. Zhou Yanrang worked hard and made two curtains now.
"That's good. I'm afraid of the cold, so I won't refuse to you. I'll ask someone to come over and learn it tomorrow. Once I've learned it, I'll make another one and put one in my child's house."
"I think so, but my father and Taotao are not afraid of the cold at all. Even in winter, they don't wear much. The kang is enough. They don't want this, so that's it. I'll make another one and come back.
Hang it up instead, it’s still early for it to be cold as late as March or April!"
Those two people are really not afraid of the cold. Taotao's palms are still warm even though they don't wear much. Moreover, every morning when father and son get up to box together, they are covered in sweat.
The door curtain also has to be changed, as you have to walk back and forth there every day, and if it is not clean, it will get on your clothes, so it is good to make two and use them interchangeably.
The conversation between the three people became even more lively. After a while, a girl dressed as a maid came over and gave the three of them a pot of hot tea. Then she left without leaving a trace.
"That girl is one of the two sisters, the female guard your father found for you?" asked Lin.
"Well, Amber and Pearl just came here not long ago. Dad arranged for them to stay with me. They don't have to pay anything, they just need to protect me. The one who just came is Pearl. She is my sister, so she needs to be gentler.
, my younger sister Amber is rather cold and not very talkative."
His father said that Pearl and Amber were trained by her Uncle Yun, and they were originally meant to be her dowry. The two sisters had known about it for a long time, so they didn't feel resentful when they came all the way here.
There are two sisters. The older sister is the gentle one and more attentive. The younger sister is the colder one but has a cute face. They are both young, both are nineteen years old this year.
"They are twins? Their names are noble." Yang Xu said with a smile.
"Well, they are a pair of twin sisters, but they are just similar in appearance, but they can be easily distinguished. As for the name, I heard that it was given to me by Uncle Yun, who gave it to me. It has a good meaning." Zhou Yan replied
road.
"So that's it. It's said in the book that there are two types of twins, one is that they look very similar, and the other is that although they are twin sisters, they look different."
There are two types of twins: identical twins and fraternal twins. Yang Xu has also heard of some in modern times.
Zhou Yan nodded slowly after hearing this explanation. There seemed to be such examples, but they were very rare.
"I just looked at her, she just looks like an ordinary girl, but she is really good at martial arts? Have Yan Yan seen her?" Ms. Lin asked casually.
As soon as the girl came in, she took a closer look, but she really couldn't see anything.
I heard that female guards are also a type of secret guards, but she has seen secret guards, who are covered with black masks and have a very weak sense of presence. Zhou Cun explained to her that it is right to have a weak sense of presence, so that they can be secretive and not be discovered.
.
But the girl just now was smiling and somewhat delicate, not expressionless like those secret guards at all.
"To be honest, I don't know what the secret guards are like. But Pearl and Amber, they showed it on the first day they came here. The aunt of the guard team should know something about it. They are all good at martial arts.
Pearl and the others can beat four of them at once."
Zhou Yan smiled and replied that she had seen it with her own eyes, otherwise she would not have believed that two thin girls could actually defeat a row of eight people in the escort team.
"It's so powerful. The escort team was specially selected by your uncle. The people in it are all very powerful. If these two girls can fight one against four, it will be really rare."
"I'm afraid it's not just that. The secret guards have never been famous for their martial arts. They should have other things they are good at." Yang Xu looked at Zhou Yan and said.
"How does Sister Yang know?" Zhou Yan asked Yang Xu in surprise.
"I really just made a random guess. Isn't it said in the book? Secret guards always have other abilities, such as light skills, hiding abilities, disguise abilities, and some hidden weapons." Yang Xu said with a smile.
There are even those in modern TV series. After she came to ancient times, some of them were real, and some of them might be fictional. After all, she had never heard of them.
But Qinggong in ancient times is actually real. It is not like climbing over walls and floating on water like in TV series. However, those specially trained secret guards who are proficient in this method can indeed use some tools, such as ropes, to fly over walls. No problem.
"So that's the case, but it's true. Pearl is good at disguise and weapons are good at daggers. Amber is good at lightness and is good at long whips."
None of the three of them had ever come into contact with this kind of person. The three of them talked a lot about the topic of secret guards.
"Uncle Yun didn't come over, but he wrote me a letter and gave me a general description of Pearl and Amber's situation. The two of them were adopted by Uncle Yun when they were seven years old, and they started learning martial arts and reading at the age of eight. I have learned some medical skills. Now, my martial arts and medical skills are really top-notch."
Uncle Yun's original words were that these days, there are a lot of villains and bad ideas are hard to guard against. One must be proficient in medical skills to avoid eating something bad.
The implication was that the Pearl sisters were required to check three meals a day, which made Zhou Yan dumbfounded. How could it be so dangerous? Could the person who had poisoned it come into the house?
"Your uncle is really interested in you, no matter the details. I vaguely heard once that these two sisters were trained for you from the beginning?" Yang Xu asked with a smile.
"Well, Uncle Yun is very good to me, and he is also my godfather. He started preparing to train female guards more than ten years ago, also for me. When I was still young, he told my father that in the future Give me a different dowry, but I didn’t expect it to be this." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
His father didn't know it at the time. When he heard Uncle Yun talk about the dowry, he was a little annoyed. Why did he rush to marry off his daughter? Later, when he came to find the female guard, Uncle Yun was proficient in it, so his father went to ask. Asked him, he didn't expect that the dowry many years ago was like this.
"It's really a rainy day." Yang Xu said with a smile.
After a while, Pearl came over, saying that Zhou Shou had asked them to come over, and that the Wang family had already come over.
Only then did Zhou Yan become nervous and hurriedly ran to the mirror to take a closer look to see if it was neat.
"It looks so tight." Yang Xu praised.
Ms. Lin also agreed with a smile. They were originally going to help Zhou Yan put on makeup together, but Zhou Yan finished it by herself. She has always been proficient in this art and her makeup is much better than them.
"You know how to praise me? I haven't put on lipstick yet! It's so perfect." Zhou Yan said angrily.
She was afraid that it would fall off while drinking water and eating, so she didn't apply it in advance, but it was just right now.
Zhou Yan sat in front of the mirror and applied lipstick carefully, making her already bright face even more attractive.
