Dong'er casually flipped through the script of "The Legend of the West Chamber" in her room, and the illustration "Guan Ju" drawn by Yang Jiqing was sandwiched in the script, and it was difficult to detect that it was inserted into the picture if you didn't look carefully.

Wan Kezhou paced back and forth beside his daughter, sighing for a long time. It's funny to say, Wan Dong'er's mother Ru Mengyao became a nun, but this Wan Kezhou himself is a Taoist priest who practices at home, he sometimes wears Taoist robes, sometimes he wears civilian clothes, depending on his mood. Today, I wore a set of azure straight embellished kaftan shirts.

Wan Kezhou is thirty-nine years old, much younger than his peers, and has a long figure, sparse eyebrows, white face, and straight and smooth black hair, as if the gods have descended to earth. When he was young, he traveled several times and owed a well-known romantic debt in Hangzhou, and the Taoist friends around him abused him as the reincarnation of the suave Lu Chunyang, and provoked the white peony on the shore of West Lake.

Wan Kezhou is chic and uninhibited on weekdays, but today he walks around in front of his daughter like an ant on a hot pot, chattering: "Dong'er, what is going on with the offspring you met with Puzhaoan, if you really like him, he really likes you, and for your father, he will find a matchmaker to match you up, don't hide it, mistake each other's ......."

Father's voice was so open, Dong'er was a little unhappy, and complained: "Dad, what are you urging me to do, I haven't stayed in this house enough, can't I leave when I've stayed enough?" ”

"When you've had enough, you'll be an old girl."

"So what, anyway, our family has had a Taoist aunt, a nun, and an old girl."

"My son, isn't it enough for the neighbors to laugh at our family, you still laugh at yourself, Dad's heart is big enough, you are actually bigger than me."

Dong'er smiled and said: "Dad, anyway, we can't stop the mouths of the neighbors, so it's better to follow them for fun, just enjoy it, don't you say?" ”

Wan Kezhou was choked speechless, and was embarrassed, and the old servant Zhou Ning shouted softly outside the door: "Master, there is a young descendant at the door who claims to be a friend of Miss, and he came to greet the Lord and Miss." ”

Now it's Dong'er's turn to be dumbfounded.

Wan Kezhou looked at his daughter's stupid appearance, couldn't help laughing, and joked: "I actually chased it to the house, I want to go and see who this descendant is, and I have gone up and down the mountain with you again and again, and now I am not invited, it is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers------ Lao Zhou, invite guests to the front hall to talk." I'll be there then. ”

Wan Kezhou in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in his daughter's room carefully tidied up his clothes and rushed to the front hall, when he arrived, Yang Jiqing was already waiting there respectfully, and when he saw the lord come in, he hurriedly stepped forward to make a move: "The younger Yang Jiqing asked Mr. Wan An, the younger generation went up the mountain several times in the first two months, went to Puzhao Nunnery to burn incense and pray for the family, and didn't want to meet Ling Ai every time. ”

Wan Kezhou has already heard Xiaohe's father talk about the general appearance of this person, how his words and deeds are (Lao Zhou listened to his daughter Xiaohe said, Xiaohe did not mention Yang Jiqing's family history), the impression of Yang Jiqing is not bad, and now I see Ji Qing's deity, it is really a good offspring with clear eyebrows and a modest temperament, I can't help but be happy, and explain tactfully: "Thank you Yang Gongzi for worrying, the little girl in the family is a little unwell today, in fact, it is not a big problem, but I don't know where Yang Gongzi's house is?" ”

Yang Jiqing still replied modestly and respectfully: "The younger generation lives with the widowed eldest brother and sister-in-law in Gaosheng Street in Dongcheng, and the father is Yang Nuo, the last secretary of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, who died five years ago, and the brother is now the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court......"

Wan Kezhou heard his family background, and his boiling heart cooled down again, after all, on the one hand, it is a well-off family, and on the other hand, it is the home of a high-ranking official, even if Wan Kezhou's concept is not strong, he still has self-knowledge, even if he does not block it, the Yang family will inevitably block it.

It's another empty joy.

Yang Jiqing saw that Mr. Wan's face gradually darkened, he didn't understand the concerns in the elderly's heart, and thought that his words were inappropriate, so he hurriedly apologized: "What did you do wrong in the late life, Uncle Wanwang Haihan, it stands to reason that the first time I visited my uncle, I should have come prepared, but I was not ......thoughtful in my late life."

Wan Kezhou thought about his daughter, and had already hastily sent Yang Jiqing away, and hurriedly said: "Where, Yang Gongzi's visit to the cold house has already made our family flourish, where do I dare to pick your courtesy." Yang Gongzi should already know about Dong'er's mother, Dong'er's disability also stems from this incident, she had to ride a horse to chase her mother, but she fell off the horse and injured her legs and feet, only blame me for my negligence back then, I believed in Jianghu Langzhong, so that Dong'er fell disabled, fortunately she can still walk, and she has been doing the things to visit her mother. Young Master Yang, Dong'er is not feeling well today and can't come out to see you, so Childe should come back early. ”

Yang Jiqing said secretly: "It turns out that this girl's foot disease came from this, and I thought she was born." ”

He thought of Uncle Liu, who guarded the corner door of the garden in the ear room of his back garden, so he warmly recommended: "Uncle Wan, there is an old servant in my family, he was a military doctor on the battlefield in Liaodong when he was young, and he has treated countless soldiers who have broken their muscles and bones, and the skill of orthopedic bones is very good, and now he is old, old and blind, and has no children and grandchildren and family members, my brother arranged for him to live in the ear room in the back garden of my house, saying that he is a gardener to take care of the garden, in fact, it is to raise his old man, if my uncle can trust it, I want to ask my Uncle Liu to come and take a look at Ling Yan, maybe after Uncle Liu's diagnosis and treatment, Ling Yan will be able to recover as before. ”

Compared with his daughter's lifelong event, Wan Kezhou's heart to cure his daughter's foot disease is more urgent, this year, Dong'er's talk about marriage has not gone well, all of them are ruined by foot disease, he half-believed and said: "It's been many years, I don't think it can be cured, Yang Gongzi still don't bother the old man." ”

"Uncle Wan, just give it a try, maybe a miracle will happen. Although my Lao Liu is old and blind, his body is very good, I will arrange a time to take Lao Liu over for a trip in the past two days, even if there is no result, at least we do not regret not trying. Yang Jiqing's tone was extremely sincere.

Wan Kezhou was moved by Yang Jiqing's words and agreed with the attitude of giving it a try.

"Uncle Wan, since Miss Dong'er is fine, I will leave first."

Wan Kezhou gratefully sent Yang Jiqing out of the Wan Mansion, and they didn't realize that Dong'er was standing in front of the window of his room at that time, quietly watching Yang Jiqing's back leave, until he disappeared behind the door.
