The New Year is approaching, and Duanmu Xuan proposed to go to Lijia Village, Xinchang County, where his wife lived when she was a child. Situ Yan felt that the two of them had been busy for half a year, and it was good to go out for a walk, and Xinchang County was not far from the border city of Gaoxian County, and they could rush back around the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month. By the way, you can also see what changes have taken place in each county and village along the way. This is the first big year after Situ Jin took office.

But before the two of them entered Lijia Village, they learned that Li Shilang had quietly returned to the village. Situ Yan was worried that Li Shilang had caused some trouble in Heyang County, so she fled here and hid, otherwise San Lang was in the border city, why did Shilang come back and not tell her such a big thing.

The carriage stopped when it entered the village, and Duanmu Xuan helped Situ Yan get out of the carriage, "Fourth brother, it's really you!" When did you go back to the village, why didn't you ask someone to bring me a message? ......" Situ Yan had a question in her stomach, and without waiting for Li Shilang to salute, she poured out all the questions on her head and face.

"I've seen the prince!" Li Shilang gave Duanmu Xuan a salute first, and then got up to answer the little sister's question, "It's cold outside, let's go to the house to talk!" ”

"Yes, Yan'er! For the husband, I know that you are anxious. But it's freezing outside, and you're wearing thin clothes, so it's better to follow Brother Li home first! It's never too late to ask when you enter the house! Duanmu Xuan called Li Sanlang the third brother, but he would not recognize this Li Shilang, who had calculated his wife, because of this.

"It's good!" Situ Yan pretended to be in trouble, but she didn't notice anything wrong with her husband's name for Li Shilang. After all, in her heart, Li Shilang is no longer the fourth brother he was at the beginning. Now calling him "Fourth Brother" is just a synonym and a title.

Duanmu Xuan helped his wife into the carriage first. Only then did a whistle call to love riding "Ben Night". Li Shilang sat next to the car, and the group went directly to the house where Situ Yan used to live.

"Has this house been repaired? At the beginning of the year, it was still in a dilapidated state. The third brother originally planned to cultivate well, but he received the holy decree and returned to Beijing, so he didn't have that time to come this time? Situ Yan looked at this small courtyard, bits and pieces welled up in her heart, and her eyes were a little wet for a while.

"Little Five, let's go into the house first!" Li Shilang's appearance is slightly vicissitudes. Seeing that although the hand wound is healed, the heart is hard to heal. Situ Yan looked at the smoky stove room, and knew that the cheap fourth sister-in-law should have followed here.

"Fourth sister-in-law!" Situ Yan opened the door of the stove room first and said hello to the woman who was blowing fire in front of the stove with her back to the door.

"Ahh It's my sister-in-law here! Look at this coincidence, what a gray face I have become! ”

"The fourth sister-in-law is not in the way, I have something to tell the fourth brother. When I'm done, I'll help my sister-in-law! ”

"You can't do it. You're a guest at home, come in and rest, and I'll kill a chicken!" ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'll just have to say a few words to my fourth brother!" Where is the woman willing to listen, and she went to the backyard to catch chickens.

"Little Wu, you let her go! When you come home, you can't leave without even eating a hot meal! Li Shilang had been waiting by the door of the stove room, and naturally he heard the words of the little sister. I was a little indifferent in my heart, once upon a time. Xiaomei has become strangers to him.

"Fourth brother, let's go into the house and talk!" Situ Yan had a stomach full of words to say.

A few people entered the house and sat down. Chiyu moved the red clay stove and tea set on the carriage, and after making tea, he heard Li Shilang talk about why he came to this Lijia Village.

This Li Shilang is missing a hand, and there is no hope for the imperial examination in this life, but fortunately, the little sister Situ Yan is willing to forgive him and buy him a yard shop, and the family's livelihood is not a problem, but just eat and wait to die to be an idler, Li Shilang feels really sorry for the little sister and sorry for the three brothers. At this time, when he heard that the younger sister's husband, King Jing, was ordered to garrison the border city of Youzhou, and Brother Situ had also become the history of Youzhou, Li Shilang immediately moved the idea of returning to Lijia Village.

"Xiao Wu, I know that I am a wasted person, but at the beginning, I followed you to read, read and practice martial arts, no matter how I said it, I still have a reputation for showing talent, although I can't help you like the third brother, but staying in the village to teach the children to read and read etiquette is also considered to be a heart! And I was born here, so I can be regarded as a fallen leaf and return to my roots! This is where I will belong! ”

Situ Yan was somewhat surprised when she heard these words, Li Shilang seemed to have really changed, and he could think of doing his best for her and Situ Jin, as long as he had the heart, there was nothing he couldn't do. "Fourth brother, I am really relieved that you can think so, no wonder there are only about 30 families in this Li family village along the way, it seems that this is also thanks to the fourth brother who is willing to stay in the village to teach the children to read and write!"

Situ Yan's expectation was good, at first, there was no one living in this Lijia Village, but later I heard that there was a talented man here, who was willing to teach the children to read and write without handing over the restraints, so people moved to the village one after another to settle down.

"Although I am missing a left hand, but my right hand is especially there, it is not difficult to write a word and teach a book!" Li Shilang saw that Xiaomei was really happy for himself, and felt that the original decision was really correct. In this way, will the relationship with the little sister be eased, although it is not as good as back then, at least it will no longer be disgusted with each other.

"But what does the fourth brother do if he doesn't restrain himself?" How can you live this day without income?

"I sold the yard and shop in Heyang County, bought a few shops in this Xinchang County, and now they are all repaired properly, although there is no one to rent now, but I believe that this day will be better!" Situ Yan nodded reassuringly, the shops in Heyang County are worth more than those in Xinchang County, I am afraid that there are several shops here on top of a shop, and now Li Shilang should still have a lot of silver deposits, and when the spring of the next year begins, someone in the county will rent a shop, and this day will be better.

"Does the third brother know?"

"I sent a letter to the third brother last month, and the third brother sent some food a year ago! Xiao Wu, don't blame the third brother, I didn't let him tell you, I thought I didn't do anything at the moment, you have a lot of things, so as not to distract you! ”

Situ Yan understands that Li Sanlang didn't say that there must be a reason, he should be afraid that she will be worried, afraid that she will be angry! "Fourth brother, I didn't know you moved here, and this time I went back to the village just to revisit the old place, so I didn't bring much in the car. I'll leave it all to you later! ”

"How can this be, besides, the third brother brought a lot of things when he came last time, and now there are three people in the family. How can this winter be enough! "It's useless for Li Shilang to persuade him, according to the little sister's temperament, he is the same.

"Fourth brother, you talk to Brother Xuan first, I'll go see my nephew!" Situ Yan entered the main house, but she didn't see the child, she liked the child. So I was worried.

"That kid is sleeping in the east room!" That house used to be lived by Situ Yan. Situ Yan entered the East Room, and Duanmu Xuan and Li Shilang stared at each other for a while, and they had nothing to say.

It was Li Shilang who was unwilling to be lonely and took the lead in breaking the deadlock, "Lord Shizi." I know you hate me in your heart. I also know that I don't have any position to say these things now, but I still want to ask the prince of the world, and I must be kind to Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu has been living for others all his life. She's had a hard time! ”

"Brother Li can say that. I also said bluntly, I was angry that you took refuge in Cheng Feng and hurt Yan'er's heart, so although Yan'er forgave you, I couldn't. But now you are willing to do your best for the people of Youzhou, this love and this righteousness, I thank Duanmu Xuan! ”

Although the knot between the two men is still unresolved, at least they are no longer as hostile as before. Situ Yan saw the child and went into the stove room to help. I also want to follow this scheming fourth sister-in-law to inquire about Li Shilang's current situation, "Fourth sister-in-law." How is the fourth brother treating you? ”

"Good! When I married Da Lang, I knew that she disliked me and was polluted, and she refused to touch me at night in the cave room, but Shiro was different, it was my man, the child's father! "There is nothing taboo for this woman to talk about these things to Situ Yan's sister-in-law.

"That's good! What are the difficulties at home? ”

"Sister-in-law, I didn't plan to say something I didn't plan to say, but I can't hide it, I can't see you, it shows how uncomfortable you are not to say it!"

"Fourth sister-in-law, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Sister-in-law, your fourth brother has you in his heart! The night before leaving Heyang County, the head of the family drank two more glasses, and went to bed with his mouth full of words about his sister-in-law. I'm not jealous in my heart, I'm afraid there is no woman in the world who can compare to my sister-in-law, I just want to say, your fourth brother really regrets it! When Situ Yan first heard this woman's words, she thought she had misunderstood something, and finally realized that this woman wanted to intercede for Li Shilang and beg her to forgive him.

"Fourth sister-in-law, it's hard to break the mirror, it's hard to collect the water, you can only wait for time to change everything! However, the fourth brother decided to comfort me very much, but the fourth sister-in-law suffered from it, and came to this poor place where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs! ”

"What's this, when I was young, I was much more miserable than this, and there is also the third uncle to take care of, there is no shortage of food and drink at home!" This woman knows contentment very well, Situ Yan couldn't help but nod her head, it seems that she insisted that Li Shilang marry this girl.

The two women made a table of delicious food together, and Situ Yan insisted on leaving all the food, clothes and quilts in the car when she left. I also left a meeting gift of ten taels for the child. In fact, she had more in her ring, but Duanmu Xuan couldn't let these know, so she had to move the car down, and when she returned to Gaoxian County, she asked her subordinates to send some to Li Shilang.

"Fourth brother, are you really not going to the border city for the New Year?" Situ Yan invited Li Shilang's family to the border city for the New Year, but was politely refused.

"No, the school will start after fifteen villages, and if you catch up with the heavy snow and delay the class in this winter, the children will be disappointed!" Li Shilang also taught in the clan science when he was in Fuxiang Village before, but he didn't cherish it at that time, but now he doesn't restrain his temper but cares about it very much, and people's moods are different, and what they see and think is also different.

"Well, if there is any difficulty at home, you must send me a letter!" Situ Yan said two more words before getting in the car and leaving. As soon as she left on her front foot, the villagers gathered at Li Shilang's house.

"Xiucai Gong has a wide face, and I look at those people with knives and swords, but they look like military households?"

"Don't guess, big guy, it's my sister and brother-in-law with a different surname who are here today!"

"The third brother of Xiucai Gong is an official, and I see that your brother-in-law is also a military general, right?" The population of the village is small, and nothing major has happened. What's more, in this big year, who has a distinguished guest in the house and what kind of rituals have become a rarity for the whole village.

"Although my brother-in-law is an official, he is not close to me!" Li Shilang didn't want to tell these people the identities of Situ Yan and Duanmu Xuan, after all, he was no longer the same person he used to be, and he no longer valued those false names.

And Situ Yan, who left the village, couldn't help but sigh, "Yan'er sighs that people always know how to cherish when they lose!" "Knowing wife Mo Ruofu, Duanmu Xuan said in one word.

"Yes! The fourth brother made mistakes again and again, and finally missed his life, but now he sees it and thinks about it! Situ Yan sat in Duanmu Xuan's arms and formed a group.

"Some people wake up late, and some people don't wake up for the rest of their lives! Li Shilang can be like this, and finally live up to your original help! ”

"I helped at the beginning, it was completely for the sake of the third brother, they are siblings, and the relationship was the closest when they were young, and now it must be uncomfortable for the third brother to come like this!"

"Yan'er, I'm going to be jealous for my husband!" As soon as Li Sanlang was mentioned, Duanmu Xuan's heart was inexplicably pantothenic.

"You big vinegar jar! I'm just mentioning the third brother! ”

"What's the solution, he refuses to marry a wife, and guards you wholeheartedly, even if you marry a wife, you still won't give up, I haven't supported him far away and has done my duty!"

"You!" Situ Yan tapped Muxuan's chest, and then continued, "I don't feel good about the third brother like this, but he insists on doing this, this is his life, what can I do, I just hope that one day there will be a person similar to me who walks into the third brother's heart!" ”

"This is very difficult, I'm afraid that there is only one Yan'er in the world, and I'm afraid that no one will be able to enter the heart of the third brother!" Everything is fate, although she and Li Sanlang have fate, they have no part after all.

When they came, the two of them had a car shock, but when they went back, even Duanmu Xuan didn't have that thought. At noon on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, the two returned to the mansion of Gaoxian County.

Just when Li Sanlang returned home, the two chatted about Li Shilang, "Third brother, you won't say a word when the fourth brother comes back, if it weren't for Brother Xuan's sudden desire to go to Lijia Village this time, I'm afraid you would hide it from me!" ”

"In the past six months, Xiao Wu, you got up before dawn, and you still refused to rest after the time passed. Don't say that he won't let Xiao Si say it, even I don't want to bother you with these things anymore! Li Sanlang didn't know that his little sister would go to Lijia Village, when Situ Yan went out, he only said that he would go out for a walk.

"Now that I see the fourth brother like this, I can be regarded as waking up my gods, although this day is not as good as the county seat, but I see that the fourth brother has matured a lot! I'm relieved! ”

"Little Five, leave the affairs of the fourth to me, you now have the palace as a family, and you have a lot of things to think about, so you don't have to worry about the little four anymore!"

"Okay, but the third brother, if the fourth brother has anything, you are not allowed to hide it from me!"

"Good!" The brother and sister chatted for a while, and then went back to rest after eating. (To be continued.) )
