In the evening, Fang Dunru sent someone to pick up Lin Jue's master and servant to his home in Yulin Lane. Half an hour later, the carriage arrived in Yulin Lane and stopped in front of a small house. Lin Jue got out of the car and pushed away from the house.
The small courtyard in front of me is neat and clean. There is still a small vegetable patch in the corner of the courtyard. It seems that my wife’s favorite habit of growing vegetables has not changed.
There was no one in the yard, but there were voices in the house. Lin Jue was excited and stood in the yard and shouted loudly: "Sir, Master, are you there?"
The conversation in the room suddenly stopped. A moment later, Mrs. Fang wearing an apron appeared at the door. Lin Jue was about to kneel down and salute, but Mrs. Fang rushed up with wide eyes and hugged Lin Jue.
"Oh, my son, you are here. My wife misses you so much and is so worried about you. Where have you gone? Your teacher and I can't sleep every night because we are talking about you."
As she spoke, Mrs. Fang's eyes became red and she burst into tears.
Lin Jue felt warm in his heart. When he saw Mrs. Fang, he felt the long-lost maternal love. That feeling made Lin Jue feel very happy.
"It's Lin Jue's fault that I made my wife and husband worried. Is my wife always nice? Oh my, she seems to be ten years younger. Her skin color is like that of a little girl." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"Bah! You are such a sweet talker. My wife is already buried, and she is still a little girl. She only knows how to make me happy." Mrs. Fang burst into laughter and slapped Lin Jue on the head.
Fang Dunru appeared at the door with a smile on his face, and Lin Jue hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Fang Dunru said with a smile, "That's good, your wife can have a good sleep tonight."
Lin Jue said: "That's right, Master, you don't have to worry about whether I am wandering on the street tonight."
Fang Dunru said sternly: "It's not the reason, but what you just said. Your wife recently complained that she is aging quickly, saying that her skin is wrinkled and her hair is gray. Just now you said that she looks like a little girl,
Isn’t this happiness blooming? I guess I’ll be in a happy mood tonight and sleep soundly.”
Lin Jue was stunned. The master and apprentice looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
Mrs. Fang said angrily: "I'm here to join in the old thing. I'll show you later. I'll cook and wash my own food tomorrow, so you can make fun of me."
Fang Dunru quickly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare, I don't dare say anything anymore. Madam, please forgive me. If you don't wash and cook for me, I'm afraid I won't live for three days."
"Hahaha." Everyone in the yard burst into laughter. Mrs. Fang also giggled. In a small room at the back of the house, a girl was hiding behind the door curtain and listening to what was going on in the front yard. She was already trembling with laughter.
, out of breath. She looked hard outside the crack of the door, hoping to see the figure of that person, but she could not see anything. She could only hear the excitement outside.
"Why does it smell like paste?" Lu Wu suddenly shouted with a sharp nose.
"Oh, my fish." Mrs. Fang shouted and rushed into the house. "It's all because of you, my fish are all mushy. Lin Jue, the ditch for the vegetable patch in the yard was not dug properly.
, hurry up and dig the trench for Mistress. Mistress is waiting for you to dig the trench. There are still many things waiting for you to do. There is still some leakage on the roof, and several trees in the backyard need to be removed..."
As Mrs. Fang rushed into the room, she quickly explained several things. Lin Jue had a sad face and was speechless. Sure enough, after seeing Mrs. Fang, she couldn't help but do hard work. One of the reasons why Mrs. Fang thought about her so much was probably because of the lot of manual labor.
Probably because no one does it.
Fang Dunru sighed and said: "Hey, Lin Jue just came to the capital and he asked people to do hard labor. You are too..."
Lin Jue had already rolled up his sleeves and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that Master is happy. Where is the shovel? Dig ditches."
After dark, the lights of thousands of houses in the capital shone like stars. In the small courtyard of the Fang family, the candlelight was warm, and there was laughter and joy. Mrs. Fang cooked a large table of delicious food to entertain Lin Jue. Lin Jue and Fang Dunru sat across from each other and drank.
, Mrs. Fang also made an exception and drank some wine. Everyone talked about their farewells, and the atmosphere was harmonious and happy.
Lin Jue drank a lot of wine and was slightly tipsy. After drinking another drink with Fang Dunru, he suddenly put down the cup and sighed.
Mrs. Fang laughed and said, "I sighed when the food was not as good as I wanted. Why, did Mrs. Fang's cooking not suit your taste?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "That's the reason. The food is delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. I am also very happy tonight. I regard my husband and wife as my biological parents. Here, Lin Jue is like
Being with my parents makes me feel as happy as being at home."
Mrs. Fang said: "Lin Jue, why don't we treat you as our own son? Don't be sad. From now on, Master's house will be your home. If you are unhappy outside, you can come to Master's house. Your teacher
My wife and I will never allow others to bully you."
Fang Dunru smiled and said: "Bullying him? Is there anyone who can bully him? Madam, you don't know what Lin Jue is capable of. I don't dare to tell you the things he did. If I tell you, you will be so scared that you can't sleep."
.”
Mrs. Fang said angrily: "Why, he is out there killing people and setting fires to become a bandit? How can this gentle young man not be bullied?"
Fang Dunru took a mouthful of vegetables and covered his mouth to prevent himself from telling Lin Jue's secrets. He thought to himself: What you think of as an obedient young master can be much worse than murder and arson.
Lin Jue also clamped a duck leg and blocked his mouth, because he suddenly realized that he had done all the bad things his wife said. He committed murder, set fire, and became a bandit, but he had not missed any of them.
"The reason I sighed just now was not for myself. I actually thought of Huanqiu. Alas, Huanqiu is so pitiful. Every time I think of her, my heart aches. It would be great if she were still alive and the whole family could be happy. That would be a happy reunion.
What's going on?" Lin Jue finally couldn't suppress the drunkenness in his heart and expressed the sigh in his heart.
Lin Jue's words suddenly made the room feel dead silent. Lu Wu and Lin Hu also had sad expressions on their faces. But Fang Dunru and Mrs. Fang just looked at each other in shock, the expressions on their faces were not sadness, but embarrassment.
Lin Jue didn't pay attention to their expressions, and said to himself: "Sir, Master, I remember you said last time that Huanqiu died of illness in the capital, right? She said she was buried somewhere in the capital. I want to invite you
My husband and my wife pointed out the location of Huanqiu’s grave, and I want to pay her respects.”
"Ah?" Fang Dunru exclaimed, and with a sweep of his hand, he knocked over a slow wine cup, and suddenly his clothes were dripping with wine.
"What's wrong, sir?" Lin Jue asked in surprise.
"Oh, oh, oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, that's how it should be. Well... let your wife take you there, take you there." Fang Dunru stammered.
Mrs. Fang was startled and cursed in her heart: You old man has thrown this problem to me, what should I do?
"Do you have free time tomorrow? I think I'll go tomorrow." Lin Jue turned to his wife and said.
"I can't go!" Mrs. Fang blurted out. "Why can't I go?" Lin Jue asked in surprise.
"This...that...I mean, how many days can you wait? My wife has some things to do these days and I don't have time...otherwise...you can wait until Qingming Festival. Don't you have a big exam?"
Before that, you have to study hard and don't get distracted. Don't you think so, old man?" Mrs. Fang finally found a reason for her crown.
"Oh oh oh, yes, yes, yes. Lin Jue, spring is coming soon, don't be distracted. Tomb Sweeping Festival will be after the big exam, and it's not too late to go to the memorial service at that time. Don't waste this precious time before the exam, don't take it
The Spring Examination is a piece of cake. It affects your future." Fang Dunru finally found the dignity of being a role model.
Lin Jue sighed and said, "Hey, that's what my husband and my wife said. I really want to see her. I miss her very much. But since my husband and my wife said so, it's okay to go to the Qingming Festival to pay homage to her."
…
At the second watch, Lin Jue took Green Dance Xiaohu back to the inn. Fang Dunru and his wife walked out of the small courtyard and watched Lin Jue and others leaving in a carriage. Looking back, the two couples looked at each other and they both looked at each other at the same time.
Make a sighing sound.
When the couple returned to the house, beside the table with scattered cups and plates, an elegant-looking girl was sitting where Lin Jue had just been sitting. She was holding her cheeks and was thinking about something.
When the girl saw Fang Dunru and Mrs. Fang coming back, she quickly raised her head and asked, "Mom, dad, is he... gone?"
Fang Dunru nodded and sat on a chair nearby. Mrs. Fang sighed and put away the dishes, and said softly: "Qiu'er, how long are you going to hide from him? Why are you doing this?"
The beautiful girl is Fang Huanqiu. Her complexion has improved a lot like ordinary people, and her figure has become plumper. She is much different from the sick and weak appearance before. Her whole face is rosy, full of healthy and youthful atmosphere.
"Yes, Huanqiu. Your illness has improved. That day, Imperial Physician Tong came to see you and said that the prescription was exactly the right medicine. You have been taking it for a year, and most of the root causes of the disease have been removed. In the past six months, you have seen more symptoms.
Signs of recovery. In this case, why do you need to hide from Lin Jue anymore? Lin Jue still misses you, and your father and mother also know what you are thinking about. Why not just clarify the matter with him, and your father will make the decision for you to get married. Wouldn't it be a good thing?
?Why bother to suffer by yourself every day? There is no need." Fang Dunru said.
Fang Huanqiu's eyelashes trembled and her face turned red as she said, "Dad, Mom. It's not that I don't want to, I'm worried that he will blame me. It was my idea to lie to him that I died of illness, so that he could stop thinking about it. But now it's
What would he think if he was suddenly alive? He would definitely blame me for lying to him, and even his father and mother would blame him. He had said at the beginning that he could accept life and death. He felt that no matter life or death, as long as our hearts can be together even if it is short
It doesn't matter if it's just a short moment. Does dad remember his poem? "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless people in the world." But I lied to him because I was sick. He must be very angry. I haven't thought about it yet.
How do I explain it to him?"
Mrs. Fang said: "Silly boy, what's the point of hesitating? Lin Jue is a kind-hearted boy. He won't blame you. It's too late for him to be happy. You have too many things on your mind."
Fang Huanqiu raised her pretty face and said: "But mother, what if he is frightened? What if he is not what you said? He is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. I really don't know if this is offensive.
He...and...and..."
"And what? What are you worried about?" Mrs. Fang frowned.
