Joyful Reunion

Yan Shuangzi didn't know what was going on in his mind, she just followed him, her heart was jumping for joy, the two walked side by side, one in a green skirt and the other in a blue shirt, looking from afar, it really looked like a painting.

Li Yuncong seemed to be aware of her emotions, and asked, "Ayan, are you happy today?"

Yan Shuangzi nodded and said: "That's right, elder brother sent someone to deliver a message yesterday, my wife and sister-in-law are back, today I'm going to say hello, third brother, shall we go together?"

Li Yuncong said: "That's very good, I should go to see him right away, Ayan, I see that you are the only one in charge of Chengyuan, and you have to see a doctor, but it's hard?"

Yan Shuangzi thought for a while and said, "Aunt Yun is a good hand in business, and she has helped me a lot. Bitao Chunhui and Hongdou have been studying medicine with me. Originally, it was just because I needed an assistant when I went to the doctor, but the three of them now Maybe they can all become teachers, and I also want to cut them off as slaves, but they don't know where their families are, and even if they become free people, they have nowhere to go, so they don't want to leave Chengyuan. Ability. They are all capable, and I am quite relaxed."

Li Yuncong said with a smile: "Ah Yan is kind-hearted. Ordinary people would not easily pass on some skills to others, but you have taught them all to the maids. It's just why you don't see Uncle Yan come to Chengyuan to be the master?"

Yan Shuangzi curled her lips and said: "The old man is very busy, and he can't stay at home. Has the third brother heard about my father's reputation?"

Li Yuncong looked at her expression and saw that she didn't look like she was complaining about her father, so he said shyly: "I don't mean anything else, Uncle Yan's family is the elder, I absolutely can't discuss his right and wrong, and I haven't met your father yet. , I don’t know whether the rumors are true or not, so don’t make random guesses.”

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "Third brother, don't be nervous. My father is a little different from others. Each person has his own temperament. He is born with his own destiny. He just has my father's temperament, which is not the orthodox one advocated by this world. Naturally, he won't tolerate it." It’s more orthodox, but I just think it’s good for him to be happy, at least I don’t resent him.”

Li Yuncong was a little surprised when he heard that, he thought to himself that elder brother Shenzhi once said that Uncle Yan loved her very much, if it was just that he was loose and romantic, others would at most accuse him of absurdity, how could he be called resentment?

Seeing that he stopped talking, Yan Shuangzi probably knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Third brother and I have known each other for a short time, but I admire him very much for being a human being, so I can't help but talk to him deeply. I don't know, my mother... committed suicide, and the other elders probably blamed my father for being a prostitute, so they all blamed him for this, and my grandfather still doesn't want to see him."

Li Yuncong was startled, and said apologetically, "I don't know the reason why, but today I made you say something sad."

Yan Shuangzi shook her head, she didn't know how to express it, and said hesitantly: "My mother once said that my mother...is probably very much loved by my grandfather. She and her father... At the beginning, they could be described as talented and beautiful, happy and happy, but I think that after a long time, she probably found that she and her father were not in the same world at all. When it comes to temperament and ideas, they are definitely the opposite. His father doesn't like to be restrained, and he doesn't like fame. His unorthodox flamboyance and flirtatious behavior seem to be extremely serious betrayal and betrayal in the eyes of his mother and others, but for his father. Said, he is not indifferent to each other, but it is entirely due to his temperament, and he cannot force himself. Many things, some people are unwilling, and some people are unable, and if they can't do it, they really have nothing to do. "

Li Yuncong suddenly heard these things, he couldn't tell what it was like, he secretly thought that this girl is so young, she thinks so much, it's not easy to grow up, she can't grow up carefree like ordinary girls, it's pitiful, silent For a moment, he said: "Ah Yan's thinking is so different from other people's. The people in the boudoir are bound all their lives, so they are not as good as the men in the world. They can see and experience. It is undoubtedly a natural weakness. If one day feels that there is no one to rely on, you can only see the sky when you look up. , it’s no wonder that all thoughts are lost. Thinking about it, those women in the mountains, who don’t know everything, go out early and return late, but have a smooth life.”

"Literacy is a worry in life, and rough memorization of names can be put off. Mr. Dongpo also had this kind of experience, and the third brother's thinking is also very different from others. I think my mother should not read more of those sad sentences. If grandpa saw her temperament earlier, or if she would think more about me, she wouldn't be so decisive, she is too noble...Father will also be guilty of her all his life." Yan Shuangzi gently shook his head.

Li Yuncong said with relief: "Ayan, you have a clear mind, and you can see so far at a young age. Among these people, you are the only one who can understand everyone's helplessness. No matter what happens in the future, I think you will probably be open-minded. A smooth life."

Yan Shuangzi saw his concern in his words, probably to express her emphasis, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitched when she finished speaking, two dimples appeared on her cheeks, it was very...cute, her eyes immediately burst into a smile, She nodded and said: "Yes! I think I will too, and third brother will too!" She took the flower basket in his hand and said with a smile: "After breakfast, I will go to the teacher's house with third brother. The kitchen is here, third brother don't go in."

Li Yuncong stood on the porch and watched her go in with the basket in his arms, and suddenly had a dreamlike illusion. On this morning when the sun was just rising, he and a little girl he had known for a few days walked all the way through the beautiful flowers and jade trees, and brought up A lot of things have been said in the past, it is really like an old friend who has known each other for a long time...

"Over there, over there! Quickly, kick over there!"

"Hey! No, Brother Ting turned around, turned around, pushed her, pushed her away!"

"Oh! I won't kick it anymore! Get out of the way! I'm going to beat Bitao to death today for nothing! She's too bad!"

Li Yuncong passed through the corner gate, but Yun Ting was not in the room. He heard noises coming from the partition wall. Following the sound, he passed a veranda, and saw Yan Shuangzi standing by the arched moon gate, crying tears of joy.

Li Yuncong saw that the red beans were chasing Bitao to beat them in the middle of the yard, and the little girls and women and cooks were also bending over in groups laughing.There was also a young girl with a face who suddenly saw him enter the door with a frightened expression on her face, she hid behind Yun Niang and didn't dare to show her face for a while, probably the one Ayan said was rescued halfway back last time. He stepped back outside the door, letting the flower branches block most of his body, and saw Ting Geer sweating profusely, flushed with excitement, sitting on a two-wheeled seat, holding the ball and cheering for Bitao .

Li Yuncong smiled and said, "What's the fuss? It's so lively?"

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "The third brother is here? I asked them to accompany Ting Geer to play Cuju. These people didn't know how to do it. Later, they just kicked around. Bitao talked the most and helped Ting Geer take the red beans. After pushing it all over the place, Hongdou went mad and said he wanted to beat Bitao to death."

Li Yuncong said with a smile: "Brother Ting is the one who can make trouble the most, you still have someone to accompany him to play this, he must be playing crazy."

In the yard, Hongdou had already grabbed Bitao and beat her hard, Bitao repeatedly begged for mercy, and Yan Shuangzi told the crowd to disperse until the two of them had finished arguing, and asked Hongdou to push Ting Geer to the consulting room, followed behind and said to Li Yuncong: "The craftsman sent the equipment for Ting Ge'er's wounds the day before yesterday. I inspected it and found it very satisfactory. There are only a few medicines missing. I haven't prepared them yet. It's not that there is a lack of medicinal materials, but that it will take time to complete the medicine. , I reckon that in half a month, everything will be complete, and we can officially start."

Li Yuncong counted the days and said, "It's almost August, and the weather is getting cooler, which is a good time."

Yan Shuangzi said: "I originally calculated this way. August is cool. After the bone grafting, there will be follow-up recovery. If it is too hot or too cold, Brother Ting will suffer. I let him exercise more these days to strengthen his body. , This method of gold and stone is quick to heal, and it is not very painful, but it is also very debilitating, and it will take some hardships to recover later, and the body is not healthy, I am afraid that he will not be able to bear it."

Li Yunting turned his head and said: "Sister Ayan, the Chengyuan chair is really well made, and I can come out to play. In the past in Huai'an, I could only stay in the room all day long. It has to be carried by someone. If there is such a chair, I probably won’t even think about seeking medical treatment for my leg. Sister Ayan, what will you do? Can I really stand up and walk?"

Li Yuncong said: "This chair is not so easy to make. The treatment is arranged by your sister Ayan. You should know a word, tell everyone to obey the destiny. No matter what the result is, you must not be like before!"

Yan Shuangzi smiled and said: "If I was not sure, I wouldn't have made these preparations. Brother Ting is scared, don't be afraid, when the time comes, you will sleep well, and when you wake up, you will find that you are all well."

After sending Ting Ge'er to the consultation room to settle down, Yan Shuangzi invited Li Yuncong to the garden, and said as she walked, "I have already prepared Ting Ge'er's treatment plan, and the third brother has also learned some Qihuang techniques. Come on, let's discuss it again, although I have prepared several sets in case of accidents, but it is only one person's plan, so it is better for the eldest brother to come over and deliberate over it again and again."

Li Yuncong nodded and said: "Ayan is meticulous, I have no worries. The day before yesterday I finished my book and went home and told my family about Ting Geer's situation. My aunt has shed tears for more than a year. After Ting Geer's diagnosis and treatment are over, I will send him off again. The family will be very happy when a letter comes back, and we can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival happily."

The two of them crossed the Jinghong Bridge all the way, and sat down at the Guiyun Pavilion. From a distance, they saw Chunhui bring two maids to bring tea to the pavilion.

Yan Shuangzi said: "If it goes well, Brother Ting will not be able to walk on the ground before the new year. From now on, it will be fine to adjust some prescriptions every so often, but it will not be the same as usual. It is inevitable that you will suffer some pain, and the older you get, the more severe the pain will be."

Li Yuncong sighed: "This is also a helpless thing. He was pampered at home a lot in the past, and he developed a temper that doesn't know the severity. This time he has learned the lesson. He will bear the consequences. A Yan can have the ability to stand him up. It's not easy."

Chunhui served tea, and Yan Shuangzi poured it herself and said to him, "In the coming year, third brother should be busy with his recovery. I don't understand the official system of the court, so I don't know what kind of official third brother will be in the future? The emperor will appoint you to be a magistrate." ?"

Li Yuncong laughed out loud immediately, and said: "It is absolutely impossible, the head of a government is not a Chinese cabbage, how can he be awarded at will, Ayan, you really dare to think, this time I see it, you really don't understand. "

Yan Shuangzi puffed her cheeks, and said embarrassedly: "I think the third brother is very capable, but the weak crown won the Jinshi. He is young and promising, how can he not be the head of a government?"

Li Yuncong shook his head and said with a smile: "I have my own official system, how can I be awarded an official sooner or later because of my fame? When I was sent out, I first served as a county magistrate in Yingchuan, and then served as the magistrate of Chaozhou, but my father passed away before my term was completed. Ayan, you probably don’t know that among the two capitals and thirteen provinces in my dynasty, the prefects of the two capitals are the third rank, which can catch up with the officials of the frontiers. Third grade, how can the imperial court promote people like this at will, this time, I predict that it will be sent to another state, or to a certain province outside the two capitals, it will definitely not be as you guessed."

Yan Shuangzi said: "Chaozhou, the third brother is still an official in such a far away place? Couldn't it really be the governor of the two capitals this time?"

Li Yuncong smiled and said: "What are you thinking in your little head? I don't know about the operation of officials by the court. That's not a child's play. Could it be that you have the idea of ​​making me the governor of Yingtian Fu so that you can stay here?" Is it impossible to be the king and hegemony in the city?"

Yan Shuangzi said with a smile: "Third brother is indeed getting used to living in Chengyuan, he is not as restrained as he was a few days ago, and now he is willing to make fun of me. Where is the king and hegemony, the third brother stands at attention, it is really a response Tian Fu Yin will definitely not allow me to mess around, besides, I am an honest person."

Li Yuncong watched her roll her eyes while she was defending, then listened to her three words "honest", and chuckled.

Yan Shuangzi sighed: "I really don't know where the imperial court will send the third brother next year. It must not be the north, which is barren and cold." After a pause, he said: "It's not good to be too far south, it's so far away, the miasma is hot and humid, yes The health is not good, and the northwest...is not good either, there is no water, and there is no fruit to eat..."

She even chose it, as if the imperial court sent an official to buy cabbage, Li Yuncong didn't interrupt her, since he met this girl, he often felt that she had a pure personality, bright and charming, and always treated him with a bit of respect. , and he is more than ten years older than this girl. Looking at her these days, he can't help but pamper her a little, and he just smiles and sees her muttering nonsense.

On a sunny day, with birds singing and green willows, Chunhui sat by a rockery, built a pergola with his hands, looked at the sun, and looked at the two people in the pavilion, fanned the wind with a small handkerchief, and sighed: " Hey! What a pair of lovers..."
