Joyful Reunion

So the joy and loneliness of the Mid-Autumn Festival are slowly hidden by time along with the unspeakable thoughts of the girl's family. The river lanterns on the Qinhuai River and the green willows on both sides are swaying in the wind, unconsciously throwing away the light for several months. , the once lush trees in the city were no longer green, only dead branches and weeds remained, and most of the flowers and trees in Chengyuan were withered. Before the first snowfall, Li Yunting was able to get out of bed and walk on crutches.

It's just that Yan Shuangzi clearly ordered him not to walk for more than half an hour a day, and the weather was cold, so he was forbidden to go out, and gave him many prescriptions to remove dampness and keep warm. Before Li Yuncong bid farewell, Yan Shuangzi wrote another letter, asking him to After returning to Huai'an, she handed over the letter to Xu Kaiji, the doctor in charge of Huairen Hall in Huai'an Prefecture. And attached the used prescription, Ting Geer's follow-up rehabilitation treatment at home, you can rest assured that you can only ask Dr. Xu to grasp it.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yingtianfu ushered in a snowfall.

With the support of the girl, Li Yunting kowtowed farewell to Mrs. Yang in Yang's mansion. He had mobility problems before and had not met the old lady yet.

Most of the waterways to the north are now frozen, and they will not be able to travel by water this time when they return to Huai'an. Originally, Li Yuncong had hired carriages and horses, but Yang Xian and Tong Yan Shuangzi were worried about the crude vehicles outside. In the end, it was Yang Xianhe who made the decision. , let Ming Lu and Lao Lin drive Yan Shuangzi's usual carriage to send his two brothers back. Mrs. Yang and Li Yuncong's mother, Mrs. Jiang, had a relationship once in the boudoir, so the Yang family also Prepared some etiquette, and hired a bodyguard bureau with a lot of money, just in time to escort them back with a car to escort them back a year ago.

"Third brother, didn't sister Ayan come to see you off today?" Li Yunting lay on the car window and looked back for a long distance, until the Yang family was no longer visible, until the carriage and horses left Jinling City, there was still nothing. Seeing people from Chengyuan coming to see him off, he has been very fond of Chengyuan's elder sisters for several months, and treats Yan Shuangzi like a goddess, and seeing her come today for a long time, Li Yunting was suddenly very disappointed.

Li Yuncong subconsciously touched the letter in his bosom, thinking: "Maybe there is another patient coming to the door, your sister Ayan is too busy, don't blow the wind, don't forget your doctor's order!"

Li Yunting turned around and sat down very disappointed. After a while, he still couldn't help stretching his head out to look outside. After a while, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Third brother, third brother! Sister Ayan is in front, look!"

Li Yuncong was startled, and hurriedly opened the door of the carriage. It turned out that the driver had already reached Zheliu Pavilion outside the city. He saw a small sedan chair parked beside the official road. Looking at him in the snow outside the pavilion.

Li Yuncong hurriedly jumped out of the car, stepped forward a few steps, saw that her face was already flushed by the cold wind, and blamed her: "I didn't see you at Yang's house just now, so I thought you must be busy with a patient. Nonsense, in such a cold day, why did you go all the way outside the city to see you off, go back quickly, don't blow the wind!"

Yan Shuangzi said with a smile: "Third brother will go back this time. I don't know when we will see you again in the future. How can you not come to see me off? Third brother must not forget what you promised me. You must write letters often so that I know you are here. Where, don't forget the sworn sister of Yingtianfu Chengyuan."

Li Yuncong sighed: "Ayan, don't worry, I will definitely write to you often. I consider myself your elder brother. I haven't done anything for Ayan that a brother should do. I have to do something for you one day." How can I forget you if I don’t live up to this title.”

Yan Shuangzi's nose was sore, she just endured it, and beckoned to Yunniang again, took the box in her hand, and said: "My third brother and I are married to Jinlan, but we haven't exchanged tokens yet. The sword of the ancients was given to the hero, and the third brother is also a master." As for swordsmanship, I thought about it, so I asked Jiangnan Ji's family for this sword, and gave it to third brother, would third brother be willing to exchange the sword in his hand for me?"

Li Yuncong took it, and the long sword came out of the scabbard with a "clang", the brilliance was dim, the blade was cold, and the whole body was cold, it was a good weapon.

He praised and said: "Sure enough, a magic weapon! Ayan, this sword is deeply in my heart. The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers. Such a token is very good. I will exchange the sword with you, and I will fully honor Jinlan's righteousness! "

Seeing him so happy, Yan Shuangzi said with a smile: "Mr. Ji always felt that he owed me favors in the past. When I asked him for a sword, he was very devoted. When I was there, I was told that the sharpness of this sword is completely exposed. If you cut it with the blood of the enemy, it will become a famous weapon in the future. If it is contaminated with your own blood, it will be a big murder. Third brother must be careful when holding the sword. , be careful not to hurt yourself."

Li Yuncong listened to her instructions seriously, nodded solemnly and said: "What Ayan said, I will keep it in my heart, you can rest assured to turn around, it's freezing, don't freeze, go back sooner!"

Yan Shuangzi's eyes were reddened, Yin Yin instructed: "I'm waiting for news from third brother in Chengyuan, third brother get in the car, I'll watch third brother go, be careful along the way, remember to write to me next year... .”

Seeing her insistence, Li Yuncong fixedly glanced at her and didn't say anything else. Seeing tears in her eyes, he finally let out a soft sigh, stroked her bun, tightened the cloak for her with his own hands, and hugged the sword case Turning back and getting into the carriage, Brother Ting waved his hand and said, "Sister Ayan, go back quickly, next time I will come to Yingtian to see Sister Ayan by myself!"

Yan Shuangzi had already burst into tears, shaking her hands and choking with sobs, she said, "Okay... Brother Ting will come by himself next time... Let your sister Bitao take you to Linjiangxian to eat the best pastries... ...."

Lao Lin was waving his whip and drinking the horse forward, Li Yunting was still waving, Li Yuncong watched through the rear window of the carriage as the girl ran forward for a while on the official road, and then stopped, her slender figure was getting closer and closer. The farther away, the cold wind wrapped in the flying snow and lifted her hair from the corners of her clothes. In the vast expanse of whiteness, only the shadow of purple remained, making the snow look more delicate and cold.

Holding the sword box in his arms, he slowly sat upright. For a moment, he felt empty in his heart, and he couldn't figure out why the chaotic mood came from. The wind and snow were howling, and the two brothers in the carriage were silent for a long time. After a long silence, Li Yunting suddenly said : "Third Brother, Sister Ayan likes you!"

Li Yuncong glared at him immediately, and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, it's ruining your sister Ayan's reputation!"

Li Yunting pursed his lips, lay down on his back and looked at the ceiling of the carriage in a daze, and ignored him.

The group of people and horses gradually moved away, and the wind and snow soon covered the ruts on the ground...

Four years later.

On the first day of August, Beijing.

The flames are in the sky, the flames are still burning in July, and the cicadas are still singing hoarsely, which makes people feel irritated. Li Yuncong has a five-beam crown on his head, and the red robe is airtight. Gold belt, jade, brocade ribbon, from top to bottom Meticulous, he was following the courtiers in groups of threes and twos out of the left door, sweat dripped from his forehead down his face and directly into his collar, the white gauze was completely soaked, looking left and right, everyone was like this, a few seniors The elderly ministers and workers looked flushed, listless, and struggling very hard. Fortunately, everyone saw that various official sedan chairs were parked in the shade outside Hou Chao's straight house. After the colleagues saluted and said goodbye to each other, Li Hui set off the sedan chair Li Yuncong sat in the shade, and the heat was relieved a little. This grand court dress was solemn and solemn, and it was extremely hot, so he couldn't walk back to Shuntian Mansion by himself in public.

At today's Great Court Meeting, Yushitai repeated the same old tune. I don't know if it was at the behest of some elders, or it was the tacit consent of several elders. It is still a joint name to invite the crown prince, and the Holy One is still shirking to stay in China. hair.

Seeing that the eldest son of the emperor grows up every year, the call for a crown prince is getting louder and louder. Since the third son born to the emperor in Yikun Palace was enshrined, the Zheng family has grown in power, and the desire to seek the heir has begun to emerge. The birth mother of the eldest son, Concubine Gong, lives in seclusion. The palace, so far, has not been entrusted with the Jin Dynasty, and the sage's bias is so obvious. This is because he is determined to contend with the courtiers for the establishment of the reserve. The northwest has a spring drought this year. Seeing that there is no harvest this year, refugees are pouring into the capital one after another. Five city soldiers Masi's pressure has doubled over the past few days, and the papers on his desk have piled up a few more inches this morning. He has fought for the country since the birth of the emperor's eldest son, and has not received a single word of actual promise from the emperor. Today, he fought again The slobbering in the morning was a waste of time, and he was naturally very worried about the affairs of the country, but the position of Shuntian Fu Yin was different, he did not jointly name with Yushitai, he only submitted a proposal for the reserve, depending on the situation, it would be nothing. , Li Yuncong thought about these things all the way, and didn't even notice that the sedan chair stopped halfway.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Old Sixth! Old Sixth! You can hold on! We have arrived at Yonghe Hall, and we are here!"

"Oh my god! This person is completely screwed up. If he is destined to die, where is he going?"

"Run to Yonghe Hall, that's Jinyiwei, look at the clothes, this person is like this, the doctor of Yonghe Hall is going to be in trouble!"

The market on the street is busy, at this moment a group of black men in flying fish suits are carrying a young man, running all the way, driving the passers-by to the ground, dripping blood all over the road, scaring everyone to run away Not too late, I'm afraid I'll offend this group of evil stars!

Cui Zhen covered the wound on Lao Liu's abdomen, and motioned to Zhao Laosan next to him. Zhao Laosan quickly walked a few steps and stepped into the gate of Yonghe Hall, drew out his waist knife and shouted: "Jinyiwei is doing business! The idlers are waiting to get out! Where is the doctor sitting in the hall?" The best sitting doctor, hurry to see my brother's injury!"

Relying on Jin Yiwei's call and the shining Xiuchun knife, the people who were grabbing the medicine suddenly rushed and crashed into a ball, and ran outside in a hurry, making the lobby a mess. Cui Zhen had already brought people in. In the inner hall, Zhao Laosan grabbed the collar of the old gentleman behind the book case, dragged him out abruptly and pushed him to the side of the injured person, shouting, "What are you still standing there for, save my brother's life!"

Yang Zhigui was over sixty years old, he was so startled that he almost turned his back on his back, he came to look at the people on the ground, his face was pale, the wounded man's lower abdomen was pierced by a piece of bamboo more than three fingers wide and one foot long Facing him, his breath was weak, his face was like golden paper, he was exhaling more and less inhaling, these evil stars would not let him go today.

Cui Zhen said in a deep voice: "Why don't you save me? If my brother dies here today, you can't even think about it!"

Yang Zhigui tremblingly said: "It's not that I don't want to save you, it's that people have become like this. My skills are limited, so I can't save you!"

Cui Zhen's face was gloomy, almost furious, Zhao Laosan turned around, and suddenly shouted at the east wall: "Where are these two little girls, standing and watching the fun, get out!"
