Chapter 22 Justification

Her death, the baby's death, can't be so unclear.

The god thought about it, there was no more appropriate way than this, and Wanchun nodded and agreed. Ji Yuan thought about how to reveal the news to Uncle Li again, and said it with Wan Chun, and then walked back to his room with a smile, as if he was very proud of what he was going to do in the future to disobey his parents' orders.

Wan Chun ignored him, because her legs and feet were not good, so the food was served in a bean green glazed pastel plate in the kitchen, served on a silver-edged enamel tray, and sent directly to the room. Wan Chun ate some of Xiu'er's hand, and when she looked back and remembered that there was still something she hadn't answered, she said, "Go and get me a pen and paper, Jingyu sent me a letter today, and I have to finish writing it when Dr. Fred comes tomorrow morning, so that he can take it back and hand it over to Jingyu." ”

When Xiu'er heard this, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, then put a pastel floral pattern porcelain bowl in her hand on the low cabinet at the bedside, turned around and took a fountain pen from the rosewood table in the middle, took a few antique letterheads, and handed them to Wan Chun. She took a hardcover book that she used to read every day and put it on the quilt.

Wan Chun spread the letterhead on paper, and wrote all the words of congratulating Jingyu for winning the championship and his own shame, and he looked like a two-page paper.

Xiu'er lay at the head of the bed and watched her write, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you write for half a year, but this writing is as beautiful as before." ”

Wanchun picked up the written letter, put it in front of her eyes and blew the ink, folded it into a folding fan shape in three or two, and took the Western-style letter set, before she smiled and said to Xiu'er: "You quickly praise others." ”

Xiu'er chuckled twice, saw that she took care of everything, and said, "Fourth Miss, please write a letter for me, I haven't seen my parents for several months since they moved back to their ancestral hometown." I'm not a literate person, and I can't say anything to others, so it's better for the two of us to be together all day long, whether I'm doing well or not, the fourth lady is in my eyes, you helped me write, and I'm relieved. ”

"That's easy." Wan Chun stretched out his legs with a smile, leaned on the backrest, pillowed his hands behind his head, and bent a pair of willow eyebrows and said, "It's just that I wrote it, how do you send it?" Do you have an address to your hometown? ”

Xiu'er smiled: "Why not, our hometown is in the Xiangtan area, and I often heard my parents talk about it when I was a child." ”

Wanchun nodded, she was very considerate of Xiu'er's homesickness, and besides, writing a letter to her family was not a difficult thing, which could be regarded as a favor.

Xiu'er was grateful, the master and servant said a few gossips, and in the evening, Yu Shi was not at ease, so he took Na Lin Caizhu and others over to inspect again, and the mother and daughter both tried their best to avoid falling out for study during the day, and they were rarely polite to each other.

After asking Wanchun about her diet and daily life, Yu saw that the lump had subsided a little bit more than when she saw it in the evening, so he told Wanchun to rest well, and the group went back to the room.

It was a night without saying anything, and early the next morning, Ji Yuan couldn't wait for dawn, so he pulled Li Hui, the messenger in the room, out of the yard, and sharpened his knife in the back garden against a crooked-necked tree.

The originally quiet early morning, when they made a fuss, it seemed noisy.

As Ji Yuan measured, Li Daguo came out of the half-asleep cloak in the duty room, and when he saw this scene, he woke up and asked, "Third Young Master, what are you doing here?" ”

Ji Yuan then followed his words and said that Wanchun sprained his foot, couldn't walk on the ground, and was going to hurry to find wood to sit in a wheelchair. Li Da remembered that he saw him come back with Wanchun in his arms two days ago, and when he heard this, he frowned and said, "You only think that I am old and useless, so you treat my words as a deaf ear." The fourth lady is thin, I said not to take her out to play indiscriminately, you don't listen, you have to make such a thing to know that you are in a hurry. Besides, you are too stupid to go out and buy one without a wheelchair and it won't cost a lot of money, so why do you have to cut down trees in your yard? ”

He even said to take it away, and when the words fell, the person walked in front of Ji Yuan, and Ji Yuan gave Li Hui a look, Li Hui knew his head, and hurriedly put aside the axes and saws that were taken out to make appearances.

Li Da just stared at Ji Yuan and preached, and Ji Yuan didn't slip away from the soles of his feet in order for him to bring the words into Li Chengxu's room, so he stood up and listened to him finish speaking.

Li Da didn't expect Ji Yuan to be so obedient this time, he was almost dry-mouthed, and he didn't see him impatient, so he was deeply pleased, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back, don't go here to see wood, wake up the old gentleman carefully." ”

Ji Yuan saw that his words had come to this point, and knew that he was going to use the matter of persuading himself as a capital to show off to his grandfather, so he urged Li Hui to take his things and leave quickly, and he followed behind with his empty hands, shrugged his shoulders and forced a smile, and walked out of the back garden.

Near noon, Li Chengxu got up and heard from Li Da about Ji Yuan cutting trees to make a wheelchair for Wanchun, thinking about the cuteness and pain of that pair of children, he felt very satisfied, so he asked Wanchun how his injury was, and after eating, he went to the front yard with his hands behind his back.

Zhou's mother didn't want to listen to the call in the house, so she was lazily sitting on the railing of the corridor and took an embroidery to draw a pattern, Li Chengxu walked to her side before she came back to her senses, hurriedly put away the embroidery bandage, and shouted all the way to take him to Wanchun House.

Wanchun had already made twelve points of preparation for Li Chengxu's arrival, listened to Zhou's mother's call, hurriedly tidied up her clothes, sat upright on the edge of the bed, and hurriedly called 'grandpa' when she saw Li Chengxu's face.

Li Chengxu waved his hand with a smile and ordered her to sit where she was, but he stepped forward to sit on the chair brought by Xiu'er, glanced at Wanchun's wrapped foot, and said, "I have heard them say that you sprained your foot, how is it, do you feel better now?" ”

Wan Chun carefully talked about Fred's diagnosis and treatment, but Li Chengxu was no stranger to Fred, and praised his superb medical skills and sincerity.

Wanchun felt like she had an unexpected joy, her chest couldn't help but loosen, and her heart that had been slipping away was faintly put down. Since Li Chengxu knew Fred, he must not be so difficult to accept what he said next, so he changed the conversation and said: "Grandpa, did my father and mother tell you, they plan to send me to the College of Humanities." It's just that my foot is sprained, and I'm afraid I won't be able to report for a while. ”

Li Chengxu patted Wanchun's forehead with a smile, thinking that she was afraid of delaying her studies, so she said: "It doesn't matter, ask someone to explain the situation to your teacher, and they will be accommodating." ”

Wan Chun bit her lip, shook her head and said, "It's not just for this, grandpa, what I want to tell you...... I'm going to go to medical school. ”

The big hand on his forehead paused unexpectedly, and Wan Chun could feel how incomprehensible and confused the old man in front of her was, so he hurriedly said: "I mean to be a female doctor in the future, but my parents don't seem to think so, so I want to ask my grandfather what he means, is it just because I am the fourth lady of the Li family, can I really not study medicine?" ”

As she spoke, she half-tilted her head, her smooth cheeks flushed with a hint of pale and white, a look that was only found when prayer was mixed with determination. This look is too familiar to Li Chengxu, as if it was what that person looked like when he was young.

So the hand placed on Wanchun's forehead was slowly retracted, and Wanchun looked at Li Chengxu nervously. This old man, who has lived in the rain of bullets for half a century, has already developed the ability to be moody and moody as early as when he led his troops to fight, and has always shown people with a dignified appearance, so Wanchun can't see any clues from his appearance.

The only thing she could do was to wait quietly, waiting for Li Chengxu to speak.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not as long as she expected, and it was only a moment's work, so Li Chengxu asked her, "Why do you want to study medicine?" ”

Wanchun thought about it for a while, her previous words were used to deceive Ji Yuan, but in front of Li Chengxu, she was afraid that the excuse was not enough to be established, so it was better to say it bluntly, so she said: "Not for anything, just to be able to have a skill in the future." ”

After listening to her words, Li Chengxu unconsciously groaned slightly, and his face was shrewd, leaving three points of hesitation, as if he was playing against others.

This is a very good phenomenon for Wanchun, at least it shows that in her grandfather's heart, it is better to be willing to weigh her proposal carefully than her mother's categorical refusal.

As for whether he will be disappointed again, it depends on God's will. If God wants to have mercy on her, it shouldn't just be as simple as letting her start her life again, she should always be given a chance to get her grievances.

Thinking like this, the clock in the room seemed to move more slowly, and a second passed as long as a day.

Wanchun's back slowly drenched in a thin layer of sweat, his eyes were firmly fixed on Li Chengxu, and when the bell rang, the automatic time-telling woodpecker in the enamel clock suddenly jumped out, stood on the tip of the needle and cooed twice.

It turned out to be twelve o'clock.

Li Chengxu made a fuss about the clock, and finally woke up, glanced at Wanchun's expression again, and then lifted the arm of the rose chair, and said with a long sigh: "Although a skill is good, it is not limited to the road of studying medicine, it is rare that you have this mind." Your parents don't agree, do you know why? ”

"Yes." Wan Chun nodded slightly, "Mom always thinks that the teaching level in the Faculty of Humanities is much higher than that of the Faculty of Medicine, and besides, she loves Chinese Outside the Faculty very much, and I sincerely hope that I can also choose this subject." According to my mother's meaning, even if I study medicine in the future, it will not be very useful, and it is not as practical as foreign Chinese. But in my eyes, the two are just the opposite, the previous dynasty also had a master Yi long skill to control the language, does grandpa think that a foreign Chinese language is considered a long skill? Wouldn't it be better than it to have medical skills that could save tens of thousands of lives overnight? ”

Wan Chun paused word by word, trying to speak clearly and fluently, but listening to Li Chengxu's ears, he couldn't help but have some determination and perseverance, and he couldn't help but have a smile on his face. In the years when he was on the battlefield, even when he was secretary of state after retiring, few people dared to talk to him in such a non-negotiable tone.

The eldest son Li Lanfeng among the children and grandchildren is needless to say, in addition to the relationship between father and son, there is also a relationship between superiors and subordinates, no matter what they talk about, they have a sense of business, and the second son Lanshan and the third son Lanshui are more in awe than intimacy for him because he is a concubine. Among the several grandchildren below, Bo is stable and loving, so he is willing to say a few words of sincerity; Zhongqing was raised by his mother, and only occasionally met to invite An; Ji Yuan was too stubborn, he felt that it was inconvenient to spoil him in his private heart, and he was worried about fueling his unhealthy tendencies.

Only the youngest child in the family, Wan Chun, was probably because her appearance was the same as that of his late wife, Li Min, and he had always been reluctant to hold up a dignified attitude in front of her. Now that Wanchun can say such a thing, Li Chengxu does not feel rebellious, but is happy, holding the pipe with a jade mouth and smiling: "What you said is also very reasonable, but studying medicine is not an easy thing, at present, there are two major branches, Eastern medicine and Western medicine, do you want to learn which one?" ”

Wanchun was stunned, she didn't think that Li Chengxu would agree so easily, she was surprised and happy for a while, looked at Xiu'er, and then looked at Li Chengxu, and then plucked up the courage to say: "Western medicine, is it okay?" I see that Mr. Fred is very good at medicine, and I want to be like him in the future. ”

"Don't dare to be, Miss Lee."

It was really Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Wan Chun looked up, he saw that Dr. Fred was already standing at the door with Zhou's mother with a medical box.
