Siheyuan: Crossing the two worlds, if you don't obey, you will be a beast

Grandpa Guan stood there quietly, like a steady mountain. His deep and sharp eyes stared at everything that was happening in front of him, as if he wanted to deeply engrave this scene in his mind. On his face, which was always tense and extremely serious, a subtle change occurred at this moment - the corners of his mouth began to rise slightly!

At first, the upward movement was so slight that it was almost unnoticeable without careful observation. But as time went on, the smile gradually became more obvious, like a flower quietly blooming in spring, first shyly revealing a few petals, then slowly stretching and opening, and finally fully showing in front of people.

Although a faint smile appeared on Mr. Guan's face, he did not show any intention to force Li Dongyu to stay. On the contrary, he just raised his right hand very naturally and nodded slightly in the direction of Li Dongyu. This simple action seemed relaxed and casual, but in fact it contained a kind of elegance and calmness after going through vicissitudes of life.

Then, he opened his mouth slightly, and a touch of affection appeared on his face, which had gone through countless storms and was full of traces of time, but still looked kind and gentle. Then, a gentle voice like a spring breeze gently blowing across the face slowly came out of his mouth: "Well, Dongyu, if you have free time in the future, you must remember to come back here often to visit me, your teacher. I am now so old and frail, and I feel lonely and lonely to the extreme just guarding this empty yard every day."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and a gleam of expectation and joy suddenly flashed in his deep eyes. After a slight adjustment, he continued, "If conditions permit, why not bring your wife along as well? That way, I can also take a good look at what kind of gentle, graceful, virtuous and kind woman is, who is so lucky to be the life partner of my beloved disciple."

As if he felt that he had not yet finished what he had just said, Grandpa Guan paused for a moment, and then immediately continued impatiently: "Oh, look at my memory, I almost missed something important! Oh, yes, yes, don't forget that smart, clever, well-behaved, playful and cute little guy. Of course, the child's mother should also come over to play with us!"

"If they could come to visit me, an old man in my twilight years, in this somewhat cold and lonely courtyard, it would surely add a lot of liveliness and joy. Their laughter and joy, full of childlike innocence, would be like the warm and gentle sunshine in spring, pouring into my courtyard, injecting a new and vigorous atmosphere and endless vitality into it. Imagine such a lively and joyful scene, how could it not make people feel relaxed and happy?"

"Therefore, when the distinguished guests arrive, I, an old man, will prepare several heavy and exquisite gifts with all my heart. These gifts will be presented to the mother and son with sincerity as the most sincere and sincere greeting gifts when we first meet. I hope this gift can convey my joy for their arrival and my cherishment of this friendship."

Li Dongyu listened attentively to the master's affectionate and meaningful words. He leaned forward slightly, his face showing respect and concentration. As soon as the master finished speaking, he couldn't wait to nod his head like pounding garlic, shaking his head up and down like a swaying rice ear in the wind, and responded eagerly: "Of course, of course, Master, please rest assured! Even if I go through fire and water, I will come back to visit you often!"

After saying these sincere words, Li Dongyu felt as if his heart was occupied by a happy little bird, and he could not restrain his joy. He was happily thinking about what kind of treasure the mysterious gift mentioned by his master was, whether it was one of those rare treasures that would make people drool at the first sight; at the same time, he could not help but imagine all kinds of beautiful scenes after owning these treasures. As he thought about it, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and the corners of his mouth almost stretched to his ears, as if he had already collected all the treasures.

Then, Li Dongyu's face, which was originally slightly flushed due to excitement, was like a ripe apple, revealing an unconcealable joy. He took a deep breath, as if to inhale the joy overflowing in his heart into his lungs, and then turned around gracefully again.

As his body turned, his tall and slender figure gradually appeared in front of everyone. He carefully adjusted his standing posture to make sure he could stand firmly, then he began to take steady steps and slowly walked towards the antique carved wooden door at the entrance.

However, perhaps because he had drunk a few extra glasses of mellow wine at the banquet, his steps became noticeably unsteady. Every time he took a step, it seemed that he needed to exert more effort than usual to maintain his balance.
