Da Deyun

After being raised in the mansion for seven or eight days, the young master has recovered, and he is no longer drowsy, and he can get out of bed and walk around.When I was drinking medicine early this morning, I heard from the servant that Li Xiaozhen, the young lady of the Li family, and her parents will come to visit the mansion later, and that's why she made a special trip to visit him.

The young master nodded, turned around and said he was dizzy, and fell asleep on the bed.I don't know if I really drowsy after drinking the medicine, or I don't know how to face other girls.

The elders of the Li family were chatting with Mr. Da in the front yard, and the wife led Miss Li to the back yard, and went straight into the young master's room.

Xiaozhen is wearing a sky blue dress and a silver-gray cloak today, she looks gentle and pleasant.After entering the house, he took off the cloak and handed it to the servant girl, and then roasted it by the fire for fear of bringing the cold to the sick young master.

Madam didn't rush her, just watched from the sidelines.With a satisfied smile, he held her hand and guided her in, saying, "Da Lin is almost fine, don't worry."

"Illness comes like a mountain, so you still have to be careful." Xiaozhen responded obediently, with a sweet smile on her lips.

She is not a beautiful person, but she is a good girl with a pure heart and understanding; she has never caused trouble to anyone, respects her elders, honors her parents, and is always gentle and calm.

When he approached the back room, he saw that the young master was asleep.The boy at the side bowed his head to his wife and said that the young master just fell asleep after drinking the medicine.Madam rolled her eyes, turned her head and smiled at Xiaozhen: "What a coincidence, it's about this time..."

"It's okay." Xiaozhen lowered her head and smiled. .Walking towards the bed, he glanced at the sickly pale young master on the hospital bed, and said, "Brother Da Lin is sick, rest more and heal better, it will be the same if you come back another day."

The madam took her hand and praised her for being sensible, but what she said was nothing more than saying that if there was a fate in the future, of course it would be best to stay in the mansion and watch every day.

After all, it's a girl's house, so you can't stay there for too long. After a while, the Li family's parents asked the servant to invite them.Before leaving, he left a burden and gave it to his wife.

"Auntie, this is the cloak I made for Brother Da Lin." Xiaozhen handed over the bundle, her face flushed with embarrassment: "The inside is the best mink fleece, which can keep you warm the most."

Madam took the cloak and thanked her for Dalin. .With a happy face, she asked the maid to lead her to the front yard, but she stayed behind.

As soon as Xiaozhen left, the smile on Madam's face could no longer be maintained, she turned her head and entered the room, and slapped the young master's leg hard.

"Get up! Brat..." Madam was annoyed, her hands were not light at all: "You look worthless!"

The young master opened his eyes unhurriedly, looked straight at the top bed curtain, remained silent and motionless.

"Look at you!" The madam was annoyed by his calm expression, and she opened her mouth and began to mutter: "Is there anyone like you? The girl let go of her reserve, and she is visiting and wearing a cloak, you Lying on the bed and pretending to be blind, right? Ah? Xiaozhen is sorry for you, and I have known you for many years... You have not broken your own letters and gifts for others in these years, and you have delayed them for so many years. Are you going to be the shopkeeper?"

The young master remained silent.

"Even if you don't want to get married early, just tell me, let's settle the girl first, at least we have an explanation, don't you? If you don't say a word, who can know your thoughts?"

"It's been so many years. If it wasn't for you, I would have liked such a girl. How could my mother force you to get married? Look at those sons in the capital. Most of them are ordered by their parents to marry a girl they have never seen before. You Fortunately, I gave you this opportunity to make your own decisions, but you are still hesitating! Where have you read all these years? This man lives in the world, and getting married is the most important thing!"

The young master looked at the top account, recalling something with sour eyes.

"Such a good girl, if you procrastinate and don't give her an answer, how long can they wait for you? Turn around and get robbed, you will regret it! If you had listened to your mother, you would have engaged in marriage two years earlier, and now You should come in..."

"Okay." A weak and hoarse answer came from the bedside, stopping the madam's long-winded chanting.

She froze for a moment, thinking she had heard wrong.

He took two steps towards the bed.I asked another question to make sure it wasn't my hallucination just now.

The young master looked at the bed curtain, his eyes fluttered, as if he said to himself: "Listen to you."

"You..." Madam was stunned by his words, she held his hand and asked, "Son, have you enlightened?"

The young master didn't look at his mother, instead he grinned, tearing two bloodshots from his chapped lips, and said word by word: "Get married and start a career, respect your teachers."

"Hey~ good boy." Madam almost cried with joy, she never thought that this disease would be cured!Touching the hair on the child's forehead, with a mother's love: "That's right! This way... While the Li family has dinner in the afternoon, you pack up and come to the front yard to talk about the marriage, okay?" ?”

The young master nodded and said nothing.He just closed his eyes, looking extremely tired.

Madam patted him on the shoulder and coaxed him as if she was a baby in her arms: "Then you sleep for a while, be good."

------

The Li family didn't leave until late afternoon, smiling happily.

After making a marriage arrangement, they exchanged Geng Tie when they returned home; the engagement ceremony was omitted, and the marriage was directly arranged one month after the second master.Double happiness comes to the door, but the elder and younger are orderly.

When the news reached Yang Jiu's ears, she was setting dishes on the table and waiting for the second master to come out from the study to have dinner together.I couldn't believe it, I went to the front yard and immediately saw my teacher smiling happily. .Said to her enthusiastically.

When Yang Jiu returned to the yard, the second master had already been sitting at the table waiting for her for a long time. Seeing her unhappy expression, he beckoned her to come over.

"What's the matter?" Second Master pinched Yang Jiu's face and asked.

"Dalin wants to get married!" Yang Jiu said angrily.

The second master smiled, taking it for granted: "Sooner or later we will get married."

"But he doesn't love Xiaozhen!" Yang Jiu patted the table angrily, and hurriedly explained: "He doesn't like her, why should he marry her?"

"Who doesn't like it?" There was a curious voice from outside the door, followed by footsteps, and Senior Brother Luan entered the door.He walked to the table in three strides, and threw a letter to the second master.

The second master took the letter, didn't read it in a hurry, and joked: "You are so fast!"

Earlier this morning, he had someone send a message, asking senior brother Luan to help him get a letter out of the academy.Brother Luan is the big steward of our Deyun Academy, and he has to watch over the academic progress of the students inside and out.Whoever studies well has to be discussed and decided by him in which class he will be assigned to; he is a steady and sharp-tongued person.

Brother Luan smiled, sat down unceremoniously, poured a cup of tea and drank it, and asked Yang Jiu, "What did you just say?"

Yang Jiu patted the case on the table and made another fuss: "Da Lin is getting married!"

"That's no nonsense!" Brother Luan smiled, feeling that Yang Jiu was a little baffled, and said: "You are going to get married, he can't get married yet haha..."

"Can it be the same!" Yang Jiu pouted his chin in a serious manner, which made the two masters a little helpless.

Brother Luan put down his glass and coughed. This is the time to reason with her: "It's mostly parents who get along and talk about whether they like it or not... The young masters in the capital are a little talented, arrogant and conceited, and a little bit of a bastard." Eat and wait to die. Otherwise, who doesn’t have three wives and four concubines? Dalin is a gentleman anyway, and he is also very good to Miss Li. Aren’t the two of them always in harmony? You let the lady find someone else Let’s not say whether you want it or not, do you think there is someone more suitable than Dalin?”

Yang Jiu felt powerless to refute, because what he said was indeed true.As long as the young master is the same as the beginning, treat Xiaozhen well, and receive letters and gifts, although there is no deep-rooted love, at least the two of them can respect each other as guests and grow old together.Xiaozhen also likes the young master. For so many years, she has been waiting for him, guarding him and looking forward to him. How could she think about whether she loves him or not.

"Okay, this is Dalin's own decision." The second master shook Yang Jiu's hand that was buttoning the corner of his clothes. .He smiled and said, "No matter what, life is easy and food is good, right?"

Brother Luan shivered a bit when he saw the tired look of the two of them, got up and said: "You two take your time! I'm leaving!"

The second master left him for dinner, but he shook his head and said it was too sweet.It just looks like they can't stand the tiredness of the two. Who doesn't have a wife?He will go back to find his wife.

After Brother Luan walked out of the courtyard, the second master said to Yang Jiu: "Since he has figured it out, let's bless him." It should be like this, everything is back to the right track.

"I know..." Yang Jiu held the second master's arm, frowned and said, "Did you know that the wedding date set by Dalin is in September. It is said that the uncle is in front, and the seniors and young are in order... He..."

"He's sad." The second master interrupted Yang Jiu, and understood what she was going to say next, but there are so many reasons to say in this world, it's unfair.Slowly said: "He needs someone to accompany him when he is sad."

Yang Jiu looked at the second master's eyes, and understood the understanding and helplessness conveyed in his eyes.

Yes, they all understood, but the young master didn't understand, he was bitter, sad and empty.He felt that what he had been trying to understand for several months had become a joke, he felt that it was a mistake for him to run away from home and go to Jialing Pass, and he felt that those "shouldn'ts" were all his faults. In the dream that came out of his mind, he felt that he was the only one being tortured; like a child venting his anger, he used this kind of hurtful method to provoke a person who was in pain with him.

Yang Jiu and Erye are not the people who understand the most, but they are the ones who understand the most; in this world, only by personal experience can one be qualified to say empathy.

The two sat silently, fingers intertwined.

The end of September is Tao Yang's birthday. .
