Old things in Nancheng

"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Zimo was awakened by Lin Zhilan's cry, so he quickly got up and lit the lamp, only to see Lin Zhilan's pale complexion, terrified eyes, and cold sweat covering her face, Wang Zimo only saw Lin Zhilan like this in the days when he rescued her Pass.

"Lan'er, did you have a nightmare?" Seeing Lin Zhilan staring blankly at him, Wang Zimo asked again.

Lin Zhilan's slack eyes finally focused slowly, and seeing Wang Zimo's concerned and worried face, she instantly found a sense of security, and threw herself into her arms, her body trembling slightly.

"Lan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." Wang Zimo gently wiped the cold sweat off Lin Zhilan's face, hugged her tightly with one hand, and gently stroked her hair with the other.

Wang Zimo was very puzzled. Lin Zhilan was a strong and optimistic woman. Ever since she regained her senses, she appeared in front of him with a sturdy posture, and could even be said to be "lawless". Wang Zimo was very curious about what Lin Zhilan had dreamed about. That's why I'm so terrified.

The sound of "I'm here" made Lin Zhilan's mind gradually settle down, but the incomparably realistic picture still filled her mind.Lin Zhilan knew that this was just a dream, but everything in the dream did not exist in this world, but the strange thing was that she felt that everything there was too familiar to her.

"I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." Lin Zhilan said.

"What dream, it seems to scare you." Wang Zimo asked curiously.

"A ghost caught me, don't talk about it, let's sleep." Lin Zhilan didn't want to mention the scene in her dream, and lied to Wang Zimo for the first time.

Wang Zimo didn't suspect him, and fell asleep with Lin Zhilan in his arms. After all, dreaming about ghosts catching people is indeed a terrible thing for women.

However, Wang Zimo did not expect that since that day, Lin Zhilan would have nightmares almost every night.Terrified at night, Lin Zhilan gradually didn't dare to sleep. She lacked sleep and was in a trance. Her complexion was no longer rosy, and her body lost weight.Wang Zimo looked very anxious, and became more and more suspicious that Lin Zhilan was bewitched, and wanted to take her to the city to see a doctor and a fortune teller, but Lin Zhilan refused to agree, claiming that she was not sick.

Yes, Lin Zhilan knew that she was not sick. As the dream became clearer and clearer, the things in the dream strongly called her. Lin Zhilan couldn't help guessing that she should have lived in the world in the dream, not the current one. time and space.

But she dared not tell Wang Zimo about this, because Wang Zimo would not believe it.There are many tall buildings there, the cars there are made of iron boxes and can drive at high speed, the lights are feasting there, and the people's basic necessities of life there are completely different from those here.Lin Zhilan's trance was not only due to lack of sleep, but also because of guessing and thinking about dreams.

Why did that woman who was very close to him push himself into danger when the car roared towards him!If it was Wang Zimo, what would she do?

But Lin Zhilan couldn't communicate with Wang Zimo about these issues, that would only make Wang Zimo more sure that he was bewitched.But Wang Zimo couldn't figure out what Lin Zhilan was thinking, and was worried all day long. If things continued like this, let alone Lin Zhilan would have an accident, even the child in his stomach might not be able to keep him.

The autumn wind is blowing, the weather is getting colder, and the rice in the field is beginning to ear. Wang Zimo is earnestly weeding and catching insects in the field. Now she is very concerned about the crops in the field, hoping to make the rice grow better, and exchange some money for Lin Zhilan buys supplements.Thinking of Lin Zhilan's slender body and growing belly, Wang Zimo frowned.

"Xiao Er, the second young master of the Wang family is looking for you and asked you to go to the Wang family to answer." Chen Wangshu was repairing a garden at the Wang family these days, and came to find Wang Zimo specially at Wang Ziyan's order.

"What is the second young master looking for?" Wang Zimo straightened up and asked suspiciously, since she left the Wang family, she had no contact with anyone in the Wang family.

"I don't know, you just go back and change your clothes." Chen Wangshu still had work to do, so he didn't have time to chat with Wang Zimo, so he pulled her away and rushed to Liu's house, and said to Wang Zimo in a low voice: "I heard the servants of the Wang family say, It was cold a few days ago, and the second young master fell ill again, you said that their Wang family has such a rich family background, how could they not be able to cure the second young master's illness?"

"Sick again?" Hearing this, Wang Zimo couldn't help worrying for Wang Ziyan.

The Wang family did not separate, and Wang Ziyan ranked second among his cousins, so the Wang family called him the second young master, and Wang Zimo did not enter the ancestral hall, so he was not eligible to be ranked. If counted by age, she should be ranked sixth, Only the youngest son of the third master's family is one year younger than Wang Zimo.When Wang Zimo was in the Wang family, Wang Ziyan recognized Wang Zimo as his brother, so he often called him Xiao Er, and later everyone called him that.

Back home, Wang Zimo took a bath as quickly as possible, put on his best autumn gown, combed his hair carelessly, and pinned a delicate sachet on his waist, this sachet was also given to Wang Zimo by Wang Ziyan before .

"Come on, he's handsome enough, let's go." Chen Wangshu couldn't help curling his lips when he saw that Wang Zimo was neatly dressed, handsome and elegant. Such mud legs are different.

"Lan'er, I'm going to Wang's house, you don't have to wait for me to eat." Wang Zimo was dragged away by Chen Wangshu, so he could only yell inward.

"What's so good about this woman that you miss her so much!" Chen Wangshu was very dissatisfied with Wang Zimo's obsession with Lin Zhilan.

"Brother Shu, why don't you treat my sister like this." Wang Zimo replied flatly.

"Can it be the same! Your sister is an innocent and good woman!" Chen Wangshu argued with his neck stuck.

"Lan'er is also a good woman!" Wang Zimo replied unwillingly.

"A good woman can be like her, pregnant before marriage! Xiaoer, I think you are fascinated by her!" Ever since Chen Wangshu found out that Lin Zhilan was pregnant, he hated Lin Zhilan even more.

"Brother Shu, if you talk about her like that again, I won't have a brother like you." Wang Zimo was hardened for a rare moment, she would never allow others to speak ill of Lin Zhilan.

When Chen Wangshu heard the words, he was so angry that he slapped his thigh. He really wanted to knock Wang Zimo's head open to see what Lin Zhilan had hidden inside, so that he could lure a good family like this.

After entering the gate of Wang's house, a servant took Wang Zimo into Wang Ziyan's yard. Wang Zimo stepped into the house with his head down, and smelled a strong smell of medicine.Wang Zimo was a servant of Wang Ziyan, so she was very familiar with this smell. She could even guess Wang Ziyan's condition from the intensity of the medicine's smell.Obviously, Wang Ziyan was seriously ill this time.

After some briefings, a maid came out of the inner room and led Wang Zimo in. Wang Zimo bowed to Wang Ziyan through the screen: "Little Wang Zimo, I have met the second young master."

"Xiao Er, come in, there is no need to be formal." A weak voice came from inside the screen.

Wang Zimo stepped lightly, turned in slowly, looked up, and found that Wang Ziyan's face was extremely sallow, and couldn't help but concerned: "Second Young Master, this is..."

"It's okay." Wang Ziyan interrupted Wang Zimo, and said to the maid: "Bring a stool and let Xiaoer sit beside me."

The inner room of Wang Ziyan, a century-old scholarly disciple of the Wang family, is decorated elegantly and unsophisticatedly, with every brushstroke and inkstone being exquisite, and they are all good things from the past.Wang Zimo scanned the room, and found that it was no different from when he left, only Wang Ziyan on the couch, compared to two years ago, his body was much worse.

"Xiao Er, I called you here today. It's nothing serious. I just missed you and wanted to talk to you. How are you doing recently?" Wang Ziyan's voice was very gentle, just like his people, as gentle as jade.

"Back to the second young master, the young one is doing well, and every time I copy the book, I will think of the teachings of the second young master." Wang Zimo tried to keep his voice calm, as if if she spoke louder, the Wang Ziyan would shatter.

"Farming without forgetting poetry and books is very good. Although you have been farming, you must not forget your own duty, study hard, and keep accounts diligently. I heard that you sold summer rice for the village, that's very good. "Wang Ziyan said happily.

But Wang Zimo was a little apprehensive when he heard the words: "Second young master, I'm making my own decisions."

The Wang family is the largest landlord in Wangjiazhuang. Half of the land in Wangjiazhuang belongs to the Wang family. Under normal circumstances, if the rice harvested by Wangjiazhuang cannot be sold by itself, the Wang family will send someone to collect the rice. It is a good thing for the village.But Wang Zimo sold out all the rice in Wangjiazhuang this year, and the Wang family lost a lot of money.

"You also know that our family's main business is not rice, so you don't have to worry about it. My father told me the day before yesterday that Xiao Er has grown up and is promising. I am very pleased. As an older brother, I am also happy for you."

Hearing this, Wang Zimo trembled slightly. She never thought that she would be praised by Wang Qinian. He was a serious person, always aloof, serious and alienated from himself. Every time he saw him, Wang Zimo felt trembling. shock.

"I can't afford to be praised by the second master. As a person from Wangjiazhuang, it is my duty to do my part for the villagers." Wang Zimo said thoughtfully.

Wang Ziyan saw that Wang Zimo was very modest, so he couldn't help but nodded secretly, took out a piece of jade from the box beside him, handed it to Wang Zimo, and said, "This piece of jade was originally yours. It's up to you."

If Wang Zimo was surprised to hear Wang Qinian praise him, then when he saw this piece of jade, Wang Zimo was shocked.This piece of jade is not an ordinary jade, it is a symbol of the blood of the Wang family. Wang Ziyan has a piece of it and has been wearing it since birth. Wang Zimo has seen it every day and is very familiar with it.

"Father ordered, you just take it." Seeing that Wang Zimo was stunned, Wang Ziyan tilted his body and put the jade in Wang Zimo's hand.

With the jade in his hand, there is a touch of warmth, gentle and delicate, and there is a small seal character "ink" on it, which is indeed for himself!After 15 years, Wang Qinian would actually give this piece of jade to himself. Wang Zimo's heart was extremely complicated. There was joy of being recognized, but also a little sadness, and more, he was worried about Wang Ziyan.

Why didn't Wang Qinian give it early or late, but gave it to Wang Ziyan when he was seriously ill, and let Wang Ziyan hand it to himself, isn't there any particularity in this?Although Wang Ziyan took good care of himself, he never called himself "brother", but he called it so clearly today!

Wang Zimo gently stroked the word "ink", looking at Wang Ziyan's sallow face, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Second Young Master, you..." Wang Zimo choked up and couldn't speak.

"Call me brother. You don't have to be sad. If something happens to me in the future, take good care of my father and mother, as well as my sister-in-law and niece, okay?" Helpless and hopeful, the helpless thing is that his body is not up to date, and the second room has not yet controlled the Wang family. What I hope is that Wang Zimo can ignore the past and take on this important burden.

"Big brother!"

"Okay! Very good!" Wang Ziyan held Wang Zimo's hand tightly, feeling extremely relieved.

Neither of them spoke much, but their clenched hands never parted. After all, Wang Ziyan was ill, and this meeting had exhausted him. Seeing the servant girl coming in to serve the soup, Wang Zimo withdrew.

Carrying the jade pendant given by Wang Ziyan, Wang Zimo quietly followed the boy out, her mind was filled with turmoil and worry. She didn't notice that the road led by the boy was not the way out of the Wang's house, but turned around a moon gate. Wang Zimo looked up suddenly, and found a middle-aged man standing in front of him, watching him.
