"No," Song Tong curled his lips, and the warmth of recalling the past appeared on his face, "You are crying so much, the coachman said that he should find something delicious to comfort you, but in a desolate place like Kyaktu , I can’t see anyone’s house, where can I find good food? I gave you dry food, but you two naughty girls ignored me and kept howling. I didn’t trust myself to go find food for you, so you just kept going. Cry and cry, and when the people from Dali come to pick you up, you will cry even louder."
"I handed you over to the Dali guards. I saw you two little girls crying until your eyes were swollen. I felt so sad at that time. You are still so young." After saying this, Song Tong held his hand slightly. Lip, paused, and then said, "Later, I picked two bouquets of flowers from the ground for you. You two little girls each held a bouquet of flowers, got on the carriage of the Dali people, and drifted away. Later, No crying could be heard."
As soon as the words fell, Song Tong and Ji Xiang both lost their minds.
…
Twenty-one years have passed by in a hurry, and when we meet again, we are still in Beidi.
~~~~~~~~
The next day.
As expected, the imperial doctor came to Song Mansion early in the morning.
Song Tong personally led the imperial doctor into Jixiang's mother's courtyard, and exchanged greetings with the imperial doctor along the way: "My mother is seriously ill, please ask Dr. Huo to take care of her."
Ji Xiang followed behind and couldn't help but blush when he heard him say "mother".
Dr. Huo entered the dormitory and diagnosed Jixiang's mother's pulse. Song Tong and Jixiang stood aside cautiously, watching Dr. Huo take out the silver needles from the medicine box and pierce Jixiang's mother's back one by one. They were used to seeing this. He went to a doctor to treat his mother, but Jixiang still couldn't bear to look at it. He turned his head and touched the man's front with the tip of his nose. Only then did Jixiang realize that Song Tong was standing behind him, and Jixiang's face suddenly As soon as he turned red, he lowered his head and hurried out of the dormitory.
Song Tong watched her slender body disappear behind the curtain, and felt lost for a while while looking at the swaying curtain.
"Master Song," after Dr. Huo gave Jixiang's mother acupuncture, Jixiang's mother fell asleep. Dr. Huo got up and walked to Song Tong and said softly, "Let's go out and talk."
"Yes, Dr. Huo is here to invite you." Song Tong finally came to his senses and was so busy that he invited Dr. Huo out of the dormitory.
The two went to the Nuan Pavilion to talk. Song Tong poured two cups of Mengdingshihua with his own hands and said, "Please, Dr. Huo."
"Thank you, Lord Song." Doctor Huo nodded, took a sip of tea, and sighed softly, "Huo's poor medical skills, please forgive me, Lord Song."
Song Tong's hand shook and he spilled a few drops of tea. He slowly sat down and said after a long time: "Isn't even Mr. Huo powerless?"
"It's not easy to delay the disease for so long." Dr. Huo shook his head helplessly, and while looking at Song Tong, he said in a deep voice, "Master Song, you should prepare earlier. There is not much time left in the high hall, I'm afraid. I can’t wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Song Tong felt a throbbing pain in his heart, and it took him a long time to nod: "Yes, thank you, Dr. Huo, for the advice."
~~~~~~~
After sending Doctor Huo out, Song Tong was about to call Ji Xiang in when he heard a weak and low voice coming from the bedroom.
"Song... Master Song, please stay."
Song Tong paused, then hurriedly tidied up his clothes, then entered the bedroom, walked to the bed, and respectfully said to the frail and aging woman on the bed: "Mother, what are your orders?"
After returning from the spring drought, Song Tong's attitude toward Jixiang has improved a lot, and he has visited Jixiang's mother more often. Yesterday, he and Song Fu discussed Jixiang's mother's condition. Both of them were very heavy. Song Fu asked him, a little embarrassed, if he could call Jixiang's mother "mother" before she passed away.
