The shadows of purple wisteria flowers danced, and white butterflies flew by from time to time.
Inside the house, a blue gauze cabinet separates it from the middle.
Chen Siwen sat outside and Cen Yunchu sat inside.
The servants were all dismissed and the door of the house was opened. Only Fu Lan and Lin Xi were guarding the door.
"Master, please have tea." Cen Yunchu respected Chen Sixen.
"Okay," Chen Siwen responded without drinking, but asked, "Are you feeling well now?"
"Except for the foot injury, which is not much healed, everything else is fine." Cen Yunchu answered truthfully.
"Miss Cen, I wonder what you want to ask me?" Chen Si asked.
"Father said you came to my house today to ask me how I feel?" Cen Yunchu also said straightforwardly.
"Exactly, I want to know what the girl is thinking, and I can't bear to feel wronged or offended by you." Chen Siwen said frankly.
"What do I want? What if I don't want to?" Cen Yunchu asked.
"If the girl is not willing, then I will not bother you any more, so as not to cause any trouble to the girl. If the girl is also interested, then I will go back and ask someone to mediate, so that the girl will not be wronged in the slightest."
"Then do you know the rumors about me in the capital?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
"Don't you care?"
"I don't care."
"What about the elders in your family? How could they not care?"
"I can't influence others, and others can't influence me. Even if my elders don't like it, I'm willing to go my own way."
"Mr. Chen, a marriage involves more than just two people. For families like you and me, without the consent of our parents, even if we force ourselves to get married, we will not be able to escape the ups and downs and it will not last long." Cen Yunchu said in an indifferent tone.
And a little sad.
"If you are willing, young lady, I can go far away from home with you, and we will be together for the rest of our lives." Chen Si asked, "It's just that we will inevitably have to endure the hardships."
It was not that he had not thought about these issues at all, but he thought that he could make a living with his medical skills. At least he could stay away from the capital and away from right and wrong.
"Mr. Chen, I can see that you are studying medicine for one person. You and her..."
"I did study medicine for that person, but only because I felt guilty." Chen Siwen was a little surprised, not because of anything else, but because he felt that Cen Yunchu's mind was really insightful and delicate.
Even the elders in his family didn't know why he studied medicine, they just thought it was because of his interest. Only his sixth brother knew something about it, and outsiders had no idea.
This incident has been in his mind for many years, but his guilt has not changed at all.
He can clearly distinguish between guilt and love, which are two completely incompatible emotions.
He felt guilty and was willing to spend his whole life curing that man.
But towards Cen Yunchu, he truly loved and pitied him.
Just like he was willing to read medical texts for the former late into the night and climb cliffs to pick medicinal materials.
He is willing to put on clothes and warm porridge for the latter, talk and laugh heartily, and apply grease to her eyebrows with every possible care.
What can be done for the former can also be done for the latter. What can be done for the latter can never be done for the former.
That's the difference.
"Mr. Chen, I was in such a hurry that day that I didn't have time to thank you." Cen Yunchu said, "Thank you very much!"
"Girls don't need to be polite," Chen Sixen replied.
"I know that the young master is benevolent. If people slander me and ridicule me, you will pity me and protect me," Cen Yunchu smiled, "but I don't want the young master to be ridiculed because of me and break up with his family."
"Miss Cen," Chen Siwen couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard what she said, "I'm not..."
"Sir," Cen Yunchu interrupted, "Sir, please go back! Let me think about it and we'll talk about it later."
Although Chen Siwen was unwilling to do so, he still did not want to force others to do anything. He stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Young lady, I am taking my leave now."
After Chen Sixen left, Cen Tong didn't say anything, but the wife was so anxious that she stamped her feet.
"Girl Yun! You kid is so confused! Where can you find someone like Mr. Chen Qi? Why did you drive him away?!"
"Grandma, please calm down. My granddaughter doesn't want to hurt others because of herself." Cen Yunchu lowered his head slightly. Of course, she knew that her grandmother was thinking about herself, so she was not angry.
"Hey! What does it mean to be implicated or not to be implicated? You are of a pure origin, you must be talented, and you must be good-looking. Besides, there are these elders here, wouldn't they make plans for you? Since Mr. Chen Qi is willing, the elders on both sides
Let's continue negotiating." The old lady was really dizzy with anxiety, "If you want to meet such a person again, I'm afraid it will be difficult even with a lantern!"
After Chen Siwen came out of Cen's house, he did not go home. Instead, he went to his uncle Chen Qin's house.
The brothers were all given by Chen Qin, and their relationship with this young uncle was particularly close.
At this time, Chen Qinzheng and Xu Lang were having tea in the pavilion, and they were very happy to see him.
"You kid, you haven't been here for a long time. I just told your aunt." Chen Qin smiled and said, "Why didn't you come with your sixth brother?"
Chen Qin and his wife did not know that Chen Siwen was locked up by his family. They lived far away and only went back once or twice a month.
Moreover, now that Xu Lang is pregnant, Chen Qin spends most of his time at home with her.
"Sixth brother just came back from business, and he has to go to the Yamen to resume his duties." Chen Si asked, "I will definitely come here in a day or two."
"Thankfully Siwen doesn't go out often, otherwise the streets in the capital would be blocked." Xu Lang said with a smile.
Chen Siwen is very handsome and a rare handsome man.
"Auntie was joking." Chen Siwen was a little surprised.
"I'm wondering, why don't you take your aunt's pulse and see how her pulse is now?" Chen Qin was thinking about his wife. Thinking that his nephew had medical skills, he asked him to take Xu Lang's pulse.
"Then nephew, please be brave and give it a try." Chen Si asked.
Xu Lang is now nearly five months pregnant, but her belly is obviously much more prominent than that of a normal pregnant woman.
"From my nephew's point of view, my aunt seems to be pregnant with twins." Chen Siwen said after taking his pulse carefully, "But I haven't taken the pulse for anyone else, so I'm afraid it's not accurate."
"Doctor Zhou also said the same thing," Xu Lang blushed slightly and said, "He said that nine out of ten babies are twins."
"What?!" Chen Qin was shocked when he heard this, "Why are they twins?"
"Why are you panicking? Isn't it good to have twins?" Xu Lang asked him.
"If you have twins, it will be more dangerous when you give birth." Chen Qin wanted Xu Lang to be safe even more, "How can I not panic?"
Generally, women give birth to their first child around the age of twenty, but Xu Lang is already thirty years old. It is difficult to give birth to one child, let alone twins.
At first, an aunt in the Chen family was also pregnant with twins, but had a difficult delivery. Only one child was saved, and neither the other child nor the aunt survived.
When Chen Qin thought of this, he felt cold from the soles of his feet.
"Uncle, don't worry, we just have to be more prepared when the time comes. We'll hire a few more skilled doctors and experienced doctors. Besides, my aunt is auspicious, so everything will be fine." Chen Siwen hurriedly comforted her.
