Lu Wancheng's expression was full of great grievances, as if he had gone up the knife mountain, down the sea of fire, and came to Lin Mansion after going through hardships and obstacles.
Lin Qingyu wanted to laugh. Lu Wancheng just got up an hour earlier than usual, got out of the house and got out of the carriage, and got out of the carriage to take a wheelchair—what's wrong with this
There was a Tan Qizhi who was messy enough. Seeing that he was about to be driven away, Lu Wancheng came to join in the fun again. He just wants to have a good meal with his family, why is it so difficult.
Seeing that Lin Qingyu was unmoved, Lu Wancheng was forced to relieve himself. The others came and brought Eli Lilly with him, and they pretended to be a little serious, which gave Lin Qingyu a lot of face. He reported the grace of feeding medicine and needles, and it was quite good to go back to the house to sleep. It was really cold outside, and it was tiring to pretend to be obedient.
Lu Wancheng shrugged, "Okay, then I'll say I have something urgent."
Before Lin Qingyu could reply, a little head poked out from the back room: "Brother, why aren't you coming in yet?"
Lin Qinghe said, casting a curious look at Lu Wancheng. Lu Wancheng smiled back at him.
Lin Qingyu said, "Come on", and said to Lu Wancheng: "Then you..."
Lu Wancheng said: "According to the etiquette, should I go to your parents to be alone?"
Lin Qingyu snorted coldly: "You don't understand etiquette, why do you still ask me?"
Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "Dr. Lin said so, it seems that I just pretended to be pretty good."
Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng into the house, and the Lin family had already reserved a place for Lu Wancheng.
The charcoal basin is burning in the hall, which is warmer than the outside without making people feel dull. The fragrance of wine is diffused, and two winter bamboo bonsais are placed in the corner, adding a sense of elegance and freshness. The Lin family's taste is light, and the dishes on the table are mainly light. There was also a pastry with light red in the white, like red and white plums entwined in one place, which made Lu Wancheng look at it more involuntarily.
Father Lin said, "Master Xiaohou, please here."
Lu Wancheng paused and said with a smile: "I won't eat dinner anymore. I'm here to say goodbye to my father-in-law and my mother-in-law."
"Oh?" Tan Qizhi glanced at Lin Qingyu meaningfully, "Why is the little Hou Ye going to leave when he comes, and he doesn't even eat any food."
Lu Wancheng coughed and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to support this body for long, so I have to go back and lie down... just laughed."
Lin Mu said: "It will take an hour to go from Lin Mansion to Nan'an Hou Mansion. The carriage bumps. It is better for Master Xiao Hou to rest at the mansion first, and then go back when we meet."
Lu Wancheng said: "This... Qingyu, what do you think?"
Lin Qingyu looked at Lu Wancheng's eyes with a bit of joking.
Lu Wancheng didn't need to use a temporary emergency as an excuse, but said that he was unwell and wanted to go back to rest. Anyone with a brain can see his intentions.
This was in Lin Mansion. His father was a judge from the Imperial Hospital. Although the official position is not high, he is a close minister to the emperor. He is in charge of taking care of the saint in the palace. Yuzhi cannot be overstated. It was already clear to say that he was unwell in front of him.
Lin Qingyu saw through but didn't pierce it: "It's up to you."
Lu Wancheng said: "Then I would be more respectful than fate."
Before entering the table, Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng to the side to wash his hands, and said, "After dinner, let my father take the pulse for you."
Lu Wancheng is optional: "It's not necessary, I'm terminally ill, it can't be cured."
Lin Qingyu sneered: "Don't pretend, isn't it that you stayed for this?"
Lu Wancheng washed his hands slowly, and said calmly: "No, I just want to taste the plum cake, it looks delicious. I'm a little hungry."
Putting it on other people, Lin Qingyu would never believe this kind of nonsense. But when Lu Wancheng said so, he actually thought it was true. For slackers, besides sleeping, eating is naturally more important.
Lin Qingyu turned around and saw that Tan Qizhi was still there, too lazy to whistle around with him, and said bluntly: "You can't drink at the same table with me, why don't you leave?"
Tan Qizhi seemed to be prepared for a long time, and smiled: "Today I have the honor to witness the elegant demeanor of Xiao Hou. I personally think that Xiao Hou is so bright and broad-minded. Intervene. I just want to toast a few glasses of wine to the teacher. Master Xiaohou wouldn't mind?"
Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "Of course. It's all men, don't be too restrictive."
Lin Qingyu glanced at Lu Wancheng coldly, regretting that Lu Wancheng didn't use acupuncture on him that night for a few more years. If success is not enough, there is more than failure, Lu Wancheng will really make trouble for him.
Before Tan Qizhi took the seat, Lu Wancheng suddenly asked: "Has Brother Tan ever married?"
Tan Qizhi said: "Back to Xiaohou, I have been married for three years now."
Lu Wancheng said "Ah" regretfully, "Then your wife wouldn't be angry if she knew you were drinking at the same table with us."
During the dinner, everyone looked at each other. Tan Qizhi asked puzzledly: "Why is my wife angry?"
Lu Wancheng said: "You drink at the same table with a male wife and a man who has married a male wife. This does not seem to be compliant."
Lin Qingyu glanced at him, only to feel that bad water was brewing in his eyes.
The smile on Tan Qizhi's face almost couldn't hold back: "Master Xiaohou said and laughed, how can my wife be angry about this."
"That's hard to say." Lu Wancheng chuckled lightly, "For the harmony of Brother Tan's house, in my opinion, let's forget today's wine. Next time, next time."
Lu Wancheng's chase was so that even six-year-old Lin Qinghe could hear it, let alone these adults. Lin Qinghe raised his head and asked Mother Lin: "Mother, is this person leaving?"
Mother Lin said: "This..."
Tan Qizhi prides himself on being a scholar, and the scene is so embarrassing that he has to find himself no matter how thick-skinned he is: "Today is the first time Qingyu brother returned to her family's home after his marriage. I am indeed a stranger. Let’s say goodbye, and come to visit the teacher and Master Xiaohou the next day."
Father Lin didn't keep him, and ordered Huantong to see off the guests.
Tan Qizhi walked to the door and heard Lu Wancheng's voice floating behind him: "One thing was almost forgotten. Qingyu walked in a hurry today and forgot the five-car return ceremony. Fortunately, I found it in time and killed someone. Bringing Li, now the carriage stopped at the gate of Lin Mansion."
Tan Qiyi gritted his teeth and tore off the jade pendant around his waist.
According to seniority, Lin's father took the lead, Lin's mother was second, and Lin Qingyu and Lu Wancheng sat in the same place. I saw the two of them whispering softly and the other listening, seeming to be whispering something that can't be for outsiders, like a newlywed couple, like a glue-like young couple, it was seen that Mother Lin and Father Lin exchanged a complicated look.
As everyone knows, their dialogue is like this:
Lin Qingyu: "Who asked you to bring something, take it back later."
Lu Wancheng: "I know you think the things in the Nan'an Hou Mansion are dirty, but these are all worth selling money. Why can't you get along with the money when you are alive? When I die, you will take the money of the Lu Family to eat and drink. Jinwu Cangjiao, wouldn't it be great to see them crying to my grave?"
Lin Qingyu imagined the scene for a moment, squinted his eyes, turned his head and ordered his servants: "Tell someone to move things into the house."
Lu Wancheng happily stretched out his hand to clip the plum cake he had coveted for a long time: "That's right."
After the meal, Father Lin took the initiative to say: "I have heard a little about the condition of Lord Hou. If Lord Hou can believe it, can you let me take a look?"
Lu Wancheng put on a surprised expression: "I can't ask for it."
Father Lin nodded and said, "Master Xiaohou, please come with me."
Lin Qingyu pushed Lu Wancheng to Father Lin's study. After Lin's hands were cleansed, he took out a pulse pillow made of a warm jade and placed it under Lu Wancheng's wrist and closed his eyes to explore the pulse.
For a while, the room was silent, and there was nothing to tell from Father Lin's expression. After exploring the veins, Father Lin asked Lu Wancheng a few more questions, and Lu Wancheng answered them one by one.
Father Lin said: "The root of Xiaohouye's disease is born with him. It is easy to treat the symptoms, but difficult to cure the root cause. You must take a meticulous recuperation on weekdays, and don't think hard about it."
Father Lin's words are ambiguous, but they are just commonplace. Lu Wancheng didn't even ask much, and smiled tiredly: "There is father-in-law Lao."
"The guest room has been cleaned up, Master Xiaohou can go to take a nap." Father Lin said, "Qingyu, you can stay for a while."
Lin Qingyu nodded, and let his servant push Lu Wancheng out first.
When Lu Wancheng left, Father Lin asked, "Have you seen Master Xiaohou's illness?"
"Seen."
"how do you feel?"
Lin Qingyu said, "It is a blessing for Lu Wancheng to live to be nineteen years old. Now he just hangs on one breath, and when the breath dissipates, he will end up too."
Father Lin nodded in agreement and asked, "How long do you expect him to be?"
"Half a year."
Father Lin pondered for a long time, and said: "I have a method that may save him a year, but the side effects are so great that it may aggravate the pain of the patient."
Lin Qingyu thought without hesitation: "What method?"
"I will write the prescription to you later." Father Lin looked into Lin Qingyu's eyes, "The question is, do you want him to live for six months."
you still need to ask? The sooner Lu Wancheng died, the quicker he would be free. For half a year, he didn't have the patience to wait for half a year.
So, of course he... didn't want it.
Lin Qingyu absently walked out of the study, and met Mother Lin head-on to give Father Lin refreshments after dinner. Mother Lin told him that Lu Wancheng had already taken a rest in the guest room.
"Are you going to see him?" Mother Lin asked.
Lin Qingyu said: "No, let him rest."
Mother Lin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qingyu, Master Xiaohou... how are you doing to you?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad," Lin Qingyu said lightly, "It's never a bad fate for half a year."
Lin Qingyu returned to the mansion this time, planning to take another box of medical books to Nan'an Hou Mansion. When he arrived in his study, he saw Tan Qizhi and Huantong looking around at the door, frowning, "Why haven't you left?"
Huantong explained: "Young Master Tan said that his jade pendant was lost in our mansion, and I was looking for it with him."
"I'm looking for it in the front hall. I came to my study specifically, I think I have something to say."
Tan Qizhi did not refute: "Sure enough, Brother Qingyu can't hide anything. I don't want to hide it. For my brother, I suddenly remembered an important matter, and it is not easy to return to bother. This is the reason I lost the jade pendant and stayed in the mansion to wait."
Lin Qingyu and this kind of people are too much to say one more word: "Say."
Tan Qizhi's face showed a bitter expression: "Brother Qingyu must also know that he is getting closer and closer to the examination of the Imperial Medical Office, and this brother has no bottom in his heart."
Lin Qingyu knew that Tan Qizhi wanted to touch his inverse scale and pierce his heart with a knife. I have to say that this trick is pretty clever. The trial of the Imperial Medical Office has always been a thorn in his heart, and he feels depressed when he touches it.
But this doesn't mean that anyone can take this matter to show his strength in front of him.
"You failed the ranking once three years ago, and you should have no idea."
Tan Qizhi was poked in the painful spot, gritted his teeth and smiled: "For this assessment, I am studying hard day and night.
Lin Qingyu praised: "The stupid bird flies first, and can make up for it with diligence. It does a good job."
Tan Qizhi finally couldn't stretch himself, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
Lin Qingyu seemed to praise him every word, and mock him every word. A proud man like Lin Qingyu, a person with outstanding aptitude, didn't know how much ordinary people would have to pay a little bit to catch up with him.
"At least I can go to the exam again this year." Tan Qizhi stared at Lin Qingyu's face, "I know that Brother Qingyu has a lot of medical books, so you don't need to use it anymore. Why don't you borrow a few for your brother? If I can get to high school in the future, I will thank you very much."
Lin Qingyu raised her eyes and asked, "My book, can you understand it." After that, he turned his sleeves and said, "Huantong, see off the guests."
In a blink of an eye, the sky darkened. The coachman from the Hou Mansion handed over and said it was the time to return to the mansion.
Mother Lin put the prepared snacks into the food box and let Lin Qingyu take back: "I was just in the dinner room. I saw that Lord Hou also likes to eat plum cakes, and I took a few more. If it's cold today, the cakes won’t break easily after a long time. ."
Lin Qingyu said: "He probably has nothing he doesn't like to eat."
Mother Lin smiled softly: "Master Xiaohou hasn't gotten up yet, go and call him."
Lin Qingyu came to the guest room and saw that Lu Wancheng was awake, lying on the bed in a daze. He asked: "When did you wake up."
"Half an hour ago."
"Then what are you doing?"
Lu Wancheng wrapped himself in the quilt, only showing his eyes and looking at Lin Qingyu, his voice was dull: "Like the bed. It's so cold outside, I don't want to get up, I want to be a blanket."
Lin Qingyu stopped talking nonsense, grabbed the corner of the quilt and opened it vigorously, with a cold tone: "I am not the maid in your room, this trick is useless to me."
Lu Wancheng stood up and was not angry when the quilt was lifted: "What trick, I didn't use any tricks against you..." He saw that Lin Qingyu's face was wrong, and then asked: "Didn't Tan Qizhi have left? Who has provoke you again? ?"
"unmanned."
Lu Wancheng blinked, "Oh."
Lin Qingyu was silent, and then she was silent, and finally couldn't hold back: "Tan Qizhi is preparing for the examination of the Imperial Medical Department, and he is also borrowing books from me."
Lu Wancheng laughed: "That's it?"
Lin Qingyu's eyes were like knives and blades.
Lu Wancheng tried to reason with Lin Qingyu: "Tan Qizhi can't even compare to a single strand of your hair. If you feel true to him, you will lose your identity. Just treat him as a joke. Let's have fun."
"I don't know." Lin Qingyu laughed at herself. "But a few years ago, one of the people of Jieyong in Tan Qi couldn't tell the difference between Tiankuizi and Cyperus rotundus. He could still take the examination of the Imperial Medical Office, but I couldn't-ridiculous."
Lu Wancheng said helplessly: "Yes, yes, it is the fault of Nan'an Houfu. I will try to die early and let you be a widow before the examination of the Imperial Medical Office, okay?"
Lin Qingyu closed her eyes and said nothing, her long and thick eyelashes trembling slightly.
Lu Wancheng stayed with Lin Qingyu in silence for a while, then smiled suddenly: "Okay, don't get angry. It's rare to go home, be happy, smile more, huh?"
Lin Qingyu is indifferent: "I don't like to laugh by nature."
"Hey, why are you getting more and more angry. I have a seven-character mantra, which is my motto. It may be helpful to you. I want to listen to you?"
"Do not listen."
"Just listen, you don't get tired."
Lin Qingyu pressed her eyebrows: "If you want to talk, just talk about it, paving the way for so much nonsense."
Lu Wancheng's eyes were sincere: "Being a human being, don't compare too much."
Lin Qingyu: "..."
