You hear it, do people say it?

The old matriarch put down the tea in his hand, looked at Fu Ning, and smiled kindly: "Ziyu is back."

Since resigning from office, the old lady found a secluded forest in the suburbs of Beijing, built a simple courtyard, planted a few small vegetables, and devoted herself to living a leisurely "recluse" life.

But when he was in court, his reputation was too strong, and people came to visit him under various names every day. The old matriarch couldn't bear to be disturbed, so he simply brought a few servants with him, and lived a life of "travelling".The people in the capital who come here for fame are in vain every day, and after a long time, they don't come to bother them anymore.

When Fu Ning came to the capital earlier, the old lady Fu happened to be not in the suburbs of Beijing, so she hadn't seen him for a long time, but this time it can be regarded as seeing him.

Concealing the excitement in his heart, Fu Ning walked quickly to the old matriarch, and was about to salute, but was stopped by the old matriarch: "Why did you get separated from grandpa when you grew up by two years? You were Never mind the red tape."

Fu Ning said with a smile: "Grandpa and uncle set an example, so I don't dare to be as lazy as I was when I was a child. Otherwise, if others see it, won't it cause trouble for the family?"

The old matriarch looked at him with wide eyes, then looked at Li Shilang as if thinking of something: "You—"

Li Shilang immediately said: "It's none of my business. He has been like this since he came to the capital. You didn't believe me when I told you before, but now you have seen it with your own eyes."

The old matriarch was silent for a moment, and raised his beard: "Your father forced you to learn these things? You are really stupid in reading, what's wrong with children playing for two more years——"

Fu Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa, I'm fourteen this year. If I still go wild like I did when I was a child, it's really inappropriate."

The old lady Fu said: "It's only fourteen. When your uncle was fourteen, he was still playing with mud at home!"

Li Shilang: "...Dad is a sand table. I was studying and deducing river courses at that time."

The old lady Fu said: "Isn't that still playing with mud?"

Li Shilang dared not speak out: "Yes."

Fu Ning couldn't laugh or cry: "Grandpa—"

The old lady Fu sighed: "I just feel that time flies too fast. In a blink of an eye, you and Jing Shu have grown into big children."

Fu Ning gave Li Jingshu a look, and the latter immediately understood, stepped forward and grabbed the old lady Fu's sleeve and acted like a baby: "Grandpa said that we are older, so he doesn't want to give us red envelopes during the Chinese New Year?"

Fu Ning smiled and said, "Grandpa, we don't agree with this."

The two cooperated tacitly, and after a while, the melancholy in the old lady Fu's heart was resolved and dissipated.

Mrs. Li saw that the atmosphere was calming down, so she said, "Ziyu just came back at this point, and I think she is hungry, why don't you ask someone to pass the meal first, let's chat while eating."

The old lady Fu nodded: "Alright."

Although many families in the capital have a family motto of "Don't talk when you eat", the old lady doesn't like restraint, and the Li family doesn't have so many rules. They are still chatting at the dinner table, and before they know it, they chat far away. Funing's parents in Yuezhou.

The old lady Fu said: "I received a letter from your mother at the beginning of the year, saying that your father suffered from a headache again. Was this problem cured when you came?"

Father's pale face at the time of parting came to mind, but Fu Ning didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said: "It's still the same, there will always be some headaches when it's windy and rainy, just take some medicine and you'll be fine."

The old lady Fu has been an official for many years, and she is terribly accurate at guessing people's thoughts. How could she fail to see through Fu Ning's thoughts: "Your father told you to hide it from me?"

Fu Ning paused with the chopsticks in his hand, and said helplessly, "I still can't hide it from Grandpa."

Seeing this, the old matriarch also frowned: "It's been more than two years since he got caught in the rain on a cloudy day, and he just couldn't see it after procrastinating. Is there no good doctor in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Fu Ning said: "Simply it doesn't affect you on weekdays, but it's better. Previously, several colleagues in the Guozi Academy recommended many prescriptions like me. I also brought them back and asked the doctor in the mansion to look at them. They said they were all right. Uncle has already Someone sent it over."

The old matriarch nodded in response, but his heart was still heavy, and his smile also disappeared.

Li Jingshu was sitting next to her and eating honestly, when her arm was pushed lightly, she raised her head and saw Mrs. Li winking at her quietly, which meant: go and say something to ease the atmosphere.

Li Jingshu looked at the sad-faced grandfather and the serious-looking father, hesitated for a moment, and was about to bite the bullet and speak when she heard Fu Ning chuckle: "Grandpa, don't worry, I found out about a famous doctor today." , maybe he can be cured."

Li Shilang said: "Today? Is it news from Feng Shangshu's residence?"

Fu Ning smiled and said: "That's not true, I got it from the princes Xun and Ping." He spent a long time peeling bamboo at Xun Yi's place in the afternoon, and he did hear Xun Yi mention such a person during the chat, so he just asked more carefully , Xun Yi is not very clear.

The old lady Fu's eyes flashed: "That little prince? Are you familiar with him?"

Fu Ning hesitated for a moment: "I can't say it's very—"

Li Jingshu: "My brother was forced to get acquainted with him! The prince Ping came to our door earlier just to make my brother call him brother. Do you think it's annoying?"

Fu Ning:......

He closed his eyes and was about to speak, but the old matriarch suddenly laughed: "So that's how it is, hahahahahaha!"

Fu Ning was puzzled by his smile: "What's wrong?"

The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's nothing, tell me first, what famous doctor did you find out from him?"

"I heard that there is a famous doctor in the northwest who specializes in treating such long-term dragging diseases. He often cures the disease with the medicine, but this person's whereabouts are uncertain, and it may take a lot of work to find him."

Li Shilang said: "Since that's the case, I'll call someone—"

"You don't need to ask someone to look for it." The old lady Fu glanced at Fu Ning: "I have a lot of contact with that child Xun Yi. He is humble, kind, and helpful. Since you asked him, he will definitely find it for you. .”

Listening to his grandfather's words, Fu Ning felt guilty for some reason, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled and said, "It's true."

Mrs. Li, who has personally witnessed Xun Yi's vile deeds of blocking people:  …

Li Jingshu, who had personally heard Xun Yi blocking her brother's carriage, said:  …

Are you talking about the Prince Ping we know?

Li Shilang had met Xun Yi in Qinzheng Hall before, and he had some changes in his opinion, now seeing what Funing said, he echoed: "I have also met that son, he is indeed gentle and polite, and he is amiable. "

The three men chatted happily for a while, and the old matriarch suddenly said: "Speaking of which, it will be a coincidence in two days. What are your plans?" He said while looking at the two juniors at home.

Li Jingshu said: "I want to find Feng Yan to go shopping and look at the lights!"

The old lady Fu looked at Fu Ning again, and Fu Ning said with a smile: "I am the elder brother, so naturally I want to go with Jing Shu."

The old matriarch said "Oh", and after a while, he asked Fu Ning again: "Didn't you have some friends in the capital, why, no one asked you to go with me?"

Fu Ning always felt that Grandpa's question had some deep meaning, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to answer honestly: "Of course there are, it's just that Jingshu—"

"Oh? Anyone?"

"Several classmates from Qinyuan, Feng Yu originally said to go, but they failed the exam and were detained at home; besides these, there is today's... Prince Ping."

The old lady Fu stroked her beard: "Jing Shu has Jing Shu's friends, so you have to cherish your friends too."

Li Jingshu blinked, and after realizing it, she immediately said to Fu Ning: "Brother, when Feng Yan came over to play this afternoon, she told me that she had made an appointment with a few female companions. If I brought my brother alone, it might be inappropriate, so don't worry. Go out and play with your friends, we just need to bring more servants."

The old lady nodded: "Young man, go out with your friends more, don't be like your uncle, stay at home every day."

Li Shilang was dumbfounded: "Father, can you also mention me?"

The old lady Fu snorted, ignored him, and only said to Funing: "See for yourself which friends are suitable, and take advantage of the festival, let's go out and play together."

Fu Ning had no choice but to agree: "I will go tomorrow."

In the early morning of the second day, Shizi Mansion.

A plain invitation was delivered to Xun Yi's desk.

Opening the invitation, Xun Yi saw the beautiful regular characters:

Brother Sheng, begging for a festive season, do you want to get together?

Old lady Fu: I know something, but I don't say it, hehe. ?
