Dry Dream

He must be watching here all the time, and he has taught Yao Jun the method of dispensing the medicine. As long as Yao Jun is here to make the medicine according to the prescription every day, the mother's illness will naturally get better.

Mother heard us talking in the house and told Shuwen to invite me in.Mr. Meng Zi got up and left after seeing Mr. Yao.I said goodbye to the two of them, and walked into the back room through the curtain.

There are several heaters placed against the wall in the back room, making the whole bedroom very hot.The mother looked exhausted, her face was as pale as paper, and she leaned half against the head of the bed.I felt uncomfortable seeing my mother like this, so I hurried forward and knelt by the bed to tell my mother the good news.Niang smiled weakly and said that she had already heard from Yao Jun, and praised me for my good eyesight, saying that Yao Jun is indeed a person who makes people feel distressed.

Seeing that my mother said so, I said while the iron was hot, I asked her to make the decision to let me marry Yao Jun after the new year's mother recovered from her illness.Mother was very surprised when she heard this, and said that men have always been concubines or escorts, and have never been the main wife.Besides, men can't bear children, and the main family will not agree.I knew what my mother was talking about, and I didn't force my mother to tell the result.After all, her old man is not good physically and mentally now, so I can't make trouble with her at this time.So he changed the topic and started gossiping, thinking that it would not be too late to talk about it after his mother recovered from her illness.

Because King Xiaoling finally brought the two rare medicines that mother needed, father no longer insisted on keeping Mr. Meng Zi, and sent Mr. Meng Zi back to his hometown in Yongling County with a big gift three days later.Taking advantage of my father's good mood, I begged him to let Mr. Yao move to my Liuyunxuan to live temporarily, and then move back when Mr. Meng Zi comes back.Dad agreed without hesitation, and praised me for doing a good job this time.I was very happy to be praised by my father again, but what made me even more happy was that Mr. Yao could move in and live with me.

This year has been quite happy, the eldest brother has done a big business and made 8 taels of silver at once, which made my father very happy.Surprisingly, the second brother didn't come to make trouble again, as if he was seduced by a new oiran in the city.And my relationship with Yaojun is growing day by day, but Yaojun is too shy, and the family is too lively during the Chinese New Year, so we have never had a chance to be alone.So I felt regret and pity in my heart. Although I lived with him under the same roof every day, I didn't even have the chance to kiss.

In a blink of an eye, it was March in Yangchun, and my mother's illness was finally cured.Although I have to take more than half a year of medicine to get rid of the root, it is basically no different from ordinary people.Father was naturally very happy, but Aunt Lin was very unhappy.As soon as Mother recovered, Father would circle around Mother every day, almost ignoring her.In order to make mother happy, father sent Aunt Lin to another courtyard in the east of the city.They also arranged for my mother to move into Fengxiang Garden, saying that it would be bad for my mother to live in Ningxia Pavilion to recuperate from illness.This Fengxiangyuan was originally the courtyard where the eldest aunt who was a concubine Zhen lived, and the scenery was the best in the mansion. After the eldest aunt entered the palace, this courtyard has been vacant.

Today is March 23, my 15th birthday.As early as more than ten days ago, my mother and sister-in-law started to arrange the hair tie ceremony for this day.I had talked with my mother once before, and wanted to propose marriage to Mr. Meng Zi on this day, but my mother asked me to wait.My mother never mentioned this matter to my father, she told me to wait patiently for another two years, and then I will mention it to my father when I am older and my second brother can be admitted to the school.

I know what my mother is worried about, she is afraid that I will offend King Xiaoling if I marry too early.Because King Xiaoling went to the frontier a few years ago and hasn't come back yet, if he comes back and finds out that I'm already married, I don't know how upset he will be.King Xiaoling's gift of medicine can be said to be Mother's savior, and Mother is very unwilling to be called ungrateful.I also understand this reason, so this matter can only be done.

35. The year of the hair

Early in the morning, before dawn, Liu'er pulled me out of bed, washed and ate, and then went to Fengxiangyuan to pay my mother and father good-bye.After being greeted, I went back to take a bath with incense, and then changed into the dress that King Xiaoling prepared and sent over last year.As soon as she changed her clothes, Hong'er ran in and said that his uncle's family had arrived, and my father asked me to meet him at the door.

We welcome dozens of members of my uncle's family into the Pear Fragrance Courtyard in the mansion and take their seats, and arrange all the entourage to settle in the side courtyard.Uncle asked father when King Xiaoling would come, and father said that King Xiaoling had already sent congratulatory gifts, but he himself could not come in person because he was unwell.Uncle was very disappointed when he heard this, so he stopped talking.I was disdainful in my heart, and I knew that my uncle made such a big show not for me, but to meet King Xiaoling.It's a pity that his plan fell through this time.

After sitting with my uncle's family for a while, people came from the palace.Naturally, the eldest aunt Zhenfei sent eunuchs to give gifts.Uncle was disappointed when he knew that King Xiaoling was not coming, but it can be seen that the eldest aunt sent a eunuch here, so he entangled the eunuch.

Immediately afterwards, some court officials and some rich and noble people that my elder brother met outside came to the door. When the gate opened, I didn't have a chance to catch my breath.After tossing until noon, the talents came almost.The next step is naturally to entertain the guests with a big banquet.

In the afternoon, when the ceremony began, a group of people came to the ancestral hall in a mighty procession. As soon as the ceremony and music sounded, the hair-tying ceremony began.First is to worship the ancestors, then salute within the clan, tie hair, and wear hairpins.After this cumbersome etiquette, I was dizzy and my legs were weak.After the salute was over, the sun set to the west half.After the ceremony, I went back to change my clothes, and when I took a break for a cup of tea, I went to entertain the guests again.I can't help but start to envy those poor people, they naturally don't have such troublesome things.

In fact, the hair tie ceremony was very simple, but because my mother just recovered, my father wanted to make a big deal of it to show his congratulations.Then there was the dress sent by King Xiaoling last year, so naturally it couldn't be a simple matter.

When I finally dragged my exhausted body back to Liuyunxuan, it was already the third watch.As soon as I entered the bedroom, I fell asleep on the bed, not knowing how I took off my clothes and how I got into the bed.This sleep lasted until noon the next day, and it was because my father told me to go to the study that Liu'er pulled me up.

After washing up, he didn't have time to eat, because his mother just recovered, so he hurried to the study.Father is in a very good mood, chatting cheerfully with his uncle and a few friends from the court.After I came in and greeted the elders, my father told me to start studying in the family school tomorrow.I grinned in my heart when I heard this, it seems that my good days are over.

When I was a child, I went to a private school for a while, but because of my old fighting mother, I was not allowed to go. She only taught me to read, write and write at home.Later, my mother's health failed, so my father asked my second brother to teach me to read.When I got older, I found that my second brother was becoming more and more disrespectful to me, so my mother refused to let my second brother continue to teach me. From then on, I only practiced martial arts.

In fact, my memory is very good. Although I don't like reading, I can remember all the words I have read and written very firmly.And although I don't like to read the Four Books and Five Classics, I like to read some miscellaneous books on unofficial history, so literacy is not a problem, but I can't write articles or poems.Now that I have reached the age of Zhixue, if I don't study, I will attract gossip, so I can't escape this hurdle.Fortunately, my mother said that as long as I go to the family school to study for two years and put on a show, it will be fine to stop the mouths of the people in the clan. I don't expect me to have any academic achievements.

The school is a mixed place, there are all kinds of people.Although now I am not as ignorant as I was when I was a child, and it is easy to cause trouble.But after all, if I don’t look for trouble, trouble will still come to you, so my study life is very "colorful".

There is one thing that makes me very happy. Mr. Meng Zi was left in the mansion by his father as a mansion doctor, which means that I can get along with Mr. Yao for a long time.In addition, King Xiaoling has never returned to Beijing, which makes me feel more relaxed.The only thing that makes me dissatisfied is that after the new year, Mr. Meng Zi moved back to the Xiuzhu Pavilion when Mr. Meng Zi came back, and the progress between me and Yaojun stagnated.

The eldest brother took the opportunity to scold me for being stupid, saying that Yao Jun and I lived under the same roof for nearly a month and even failed to taste the beautiful lips.If you continue to dawdle like this, be careful not to be taken advantage of by others.I know who the "other" the elder brother is talking about, and there will be no second choice except the second elder brother.

But this kind of intimacy should be a matter of mutual affection, Mr. Yao seems to avoid being alone with me for some reason.I have always been very troubled, why is he always hot and cold towards me?Now that I have started to go to school again, and I am away from the mansion all day, we have even fewer opportunities to get along.Although there is a senior brother who is with Yaojun, there is no need to worry too much about him being bullied by the second brother, but it is not a solution to continue like this.

well!Yaojun, oh Yaojun, what are you thinking?Do you like me or not?

36. Gathering in the forest

I sat listlessly in front of the table with my face in my hands, worrying about Mr. Yao's feelings for me, while waiting for who would bring me lunch.Because Hong'er's sister got married today, he asked me to take a day off yesterday and went home.There were only a few scattered people in the school, and most of them went to the dining hall to eat.The canteen here does not sell food, it is only for students to eat in it.Naturally, I also went to restaurants on the street to eat, which has nothing to do with me.

When I was bored, I suddenly heard a loud voice in the yard.I turned my face to look, and my eyes widened immediately.I saw Yaojun standing at the gate with a food box in his hand and looking into the school while holding the door frame, while the young masters and servants in the yard gathered around the porch to watch and discuss.There are also a few people who have fought with me before, and those with a little influence in the family are just about to move forward and want to talk to me.
