Meicheng, known as Yanzhou in ancient times.

It is the hermit of the Eastern Han Dynasty Yan Ziling retreat.

Therefore, the Yan family has always been the largest and most prestigious family in Meicheng.

A little streamer flew across the sky and fell into the Yanziling fishing platform on the bank of the Fuchun River.

There is a memorial arch of "high mountains and long waters" by the river, which is taken from Fan Zhongyan's "Mr. Yan's Ancestral Hall Record": "The clouds and mountains are green, and the river is beautiful." The wind of the gentleman, the mountains are high and the waters are long. ”

Thinking about Yan Ziling, he is definitely not a simple person,

Unfortunately, it is now a tourist attraction, and many modern buildings here, although deliberately created with a quaint appearance, are still out of place. Coupled with the crowds of tourists, the aura has been diluted a lot by popularity.

After admiring the river view for a while, Li Muchen took out his mobile phone and navigated to the Yan family's mansion according to the address given by Lin Yun.

The door of the house was closed.

Li Muchen rang the doorbell on the door.

After a while, a person who looked like a servant came to open the door, looked Li Muchen up and down a few times, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Li Muchen said, "Is Ms. Yan Huimin here?"

"There is no such person here. ”

The maid slammed the door shut.

Li Muchen was stunned for a while.

Keep knocking on the door.

The maid opened the door to see that it was still him, and said impatiently: "I told you that there is no such person." ”

Li Muchen asked, "Is this Meicheng Yan Mansion?"

The maid said, "Yes, but there is no one you are looking for." ”

Li Muchen said: "Then I'm not looking for Yan Huimin, I'm looking for Yan Gongye." ”

Yan Gongye is Yan Huimin's father and Lin Yun's grandfather.

Unexpectedly, the maid said, "Dead!"

After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Li Muchen was taken aback.

Dead?

Yesterday, Lin Yun only said that his condition had worsened, and there was no bad news.

Moreover, even if you are really dead, you have to do a funeral, who is concerned about coming to the door and refusing guests thousands of miles away.

Li Muchen took out his mobile phone and called Yan Huimin.

Yan Huimin was overjoyed when she heard that Li Muchen had arrived in Meicheng, so she personally drove over to pick him up.

Li Muchen was waiting at the door of Yan's house.

After a while, a small car stopped on the side of the road, and Yan Huimin got out of the car and stood there waving at Li Muchen, seemingly reluctant to approach.

Li Muchen walked over.

"Mu Chen, why are you here? I didn't say anything in advance, so that I could be prepared. Yan Huimin said.

Li Muchen found that the future mother-in-law was much haggard.

It turned out that Yan Huimin had a virtuous temperament and was extremely well maintained, and at the age of forty, she looked like she was in her early thirties.

Now I saw white hair on my head, and my face was also gloomy and sad.

"I heard Lin Yun say that the old man's illness has worsened again, so I came over to take a look. Li Muchen said.

Yan Huimin said happily: "I also wanted to find you for a long time, but Qiusheng said that you went to the capital, and I was afraid of delaying your big event, so I didn't call you." Ouch, now it's okay, if you come, my dad will be saved. ”

As he spoke, he opened the car door and let Li Muchen get into the car.

Li Muchen turned around and pointed to the door of the Yan family's mansion and said, "Isn't this the Yan Mansion?"

Yan Huimin's expression darkened, and she said, "Let's get in the car and talk about it." ”

Li Muchen nodded and got into her car.

Yan Huimin said while driving: "My father and I live in the countryside now, the air in the countryside is better, and he can eat fresh vegetables grown by his own family, which is good for his health." ”

Li Muchen knew that this was probably not the case, and said, "Auntie, what happened, you don't have to hide it from me." ”

Yan Huimin smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it's me who is wrong, we are all a family, what can't be said." Alas—"

She sighed, "Actually, the cause is still our Lin family and the Yuan family. You also know that the Lin family is now alone, except for your friends Chen Gongzi and Mr. Lang, where is there anyone who is willing to help the Lin family. All those who had dealings with the Lin family were suppressed by the Yuan family. Because of my relationship, the Meicheng Yan family was naturally implicated. ”

Li Muchen guessed this, it was strange that the Yuan family didn't suppress the Yan family.

"My dad supports the Lin family, saying that no matter what grievances the Yuan and Lin families have, we just have to do our best, continue to cooperate in business, and never regret the contract that should be fulfilled. As for the family relationship between the two families, it is an unchangeable fact that cannot be estranged for any reason. ”

Yan Huimin continued.

"My sister-in-law was afraid of the Yuan family's suppression, and she didn't know what method she used, so she suddenly became a relative of the Yuan family, saying that she was a distant relative of the Yuan family. So she completely fell to the Yuan family, announced that she had severed relations with the Lin family, and drove me out of the Yan Mansion. It was because of this that my dad's condition deteriorated. He scolded my eldest brother for being incompetent and my sister-in-law for treachery. My sister-in-law kicked him out. I had no choice but to pick up my dad and go to live in an old house in the countryside. ”

When she said this, Yan Huimin's nose was sour, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

This is someone's family matter, and Li Muchen can't say anything.

However, since this matter involved the Yuan family, and the dispute between the Yuan and Lin families was caused by him, he couldn't ignore it.

The car quickly drove into a village.

I stopped in front of a few old-fashioned houses at the head of the village.

This house looks like it's been around for a while.

Yan Huimin said: "The entire village here is surnamed Yan, and they are all the same clan of the Yan family. The countrymen don't have so many twists and turns, and they don't know the disputes of the Yuan family, so they are very good to us. ”

Li Muchen followed Yan Huimin into the house.

The furnishings of the house are simple, just like an ordinary peasant house.

Yan Huimin's father, Yan Gongye, was lying on the bed in the back room.

"Dad," Yan Huimin called, "Look who I brought to see you!"

She pulled Li Muchen to the bed, "This is what I often tell you about Muchen, Li Muchen, Li Gongzi!"

Yan Gongye was very weak, and there was no blood on his emaciated face.

He heard Yan Huimin's words, but he couldn't answer, he just barely glanced at Li Muchen with his eyes that were deep in his eye sockets, and let out a breath in his mouth.

Yan Huimin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said to Li Muchen: "My dad is like this now, he drinks half a bowl of porridge every day, and he can't speak, fortunately, the medicine given by Sun Langzhong hangs for his life, otherwise, he may not be able to wait for you to come." ”

Li Muchen glanced at the bed and asked, "Who is Sun Langzhong?"

"It is a very famous old Chinese medicine doctor in Meicheng. My father's hospital was helpless, but he took Sun Langzhong's medicine to have an effect, and then he kept looking for him. ”

"Are you familiar with this Sun Lang?"

"I didn't know it before, he came to see it these days, and basically came every other day, so he was familiar with it. ”

"Who first asked him to treat the old man?"

"I guess it's my eldest brother. ”

"Show me the prescription. ”

"There is no prescription, it is all the medicine he has prepared, and he will take it and eat it. Oh, I still have a few pills here. ”

Yan Huimin said and went to the table next to her to get a small bottle.

Li Muchen opened the bottle and smelled it, and immediately knew what was going on.

It's just that he didn't understand, why did they drag Yan Gongye for half his life?

It seems that there are other plans.
