Li Xiangyu's idea was really a bit bold, which frightened Yan Shizhen.

However, there are also her considerations. When Yun Jintong was alive, although the lintel of the Li family was a little lower, Li Ge was a huge hope, and this family affair could be regarded as a good match. Now that Yun Jin has gone to the same place, the lintel of the Yun family is helpless, if he can't support it anymore, he goes, and Mei'er's situation is even more lonely.

How unpredictable is the world? How can she be reassured? When she married into the Yun family, she was considered a high marriage, and many people were envious, but she knew very well how much she suffered in her early years, but it was difficult to say to others.

Mei'er is Yun Jintong's pearl, the only bone and blood of the Yun family, her little baby, she is reluctant to let Mei'er suffer a little grievance. In order for Mei'er's future to be safe and smooth, these days, she thinks and thinks, plans and plans.

"Although the child who is married to Mei'er is excellent, after all, he is young and his heart is undecided. I'm no longer with Jintong, so I don't know what will happen to my marriage in the future, so I'll just let Mei'er decide for herself when she grows up. You have to be a gatekeeper for her, too. ”

The more Li Xiangyu's words are spoken, the more like Tuogu.

Yan Shizhen didn't know what to say. This is probably the patient's paranoia, and he can't argue with her about anything, so he can only slowly persuade, "Things won't be so bad, you can be relieved." I will come to see Mei'er often in the future, don't be so discouraged. ”

"Brother Yan, you are kind enough to see me, but I insist on entrusting you with everything behind me, teaching you a lot of troubles. Please don't be angry, Brother Yan, I really have no choice. My mother's family is not trustworthy, the Yun family has been passed down for generations, and there is no one to entrust, with my experience when I was young, I don't feel at ease to entrust my eyebrows to the Li family. The only person I can rest assured of is you, and it is your friendship with Jintong for more than ten years. I beseech thee, take care of her as a righteous daughter, and take care of her in my place and for her father. Li Xiangyu's voice was poignant, and tears fell like rain when he said.

"Brother Yun is gone, I will naturally take more care of Mei'er in the future, but what about Mei'er's family affairs in the future, I still have to make up your mind as a mother. Don't say such things again, how sad should Mei'er be if she hears it? ”

Yan Shizhen tried his best to persuade Li Xiangyu, but as soon as the words fell, there was a sound of sobbing outside the door. It really made him unfortunate to be right.

Li Xiangyu was dumbfounded, and Yan Shizhen was also stunned.

Yun Shu rushed into the inner room with tears on her face, and said aggrievedly: "Mother doesn't want eyebrows?" What's wrong with Mei'er? Mei'er has been trying to do everything well these days, and if her mother is not satisfied, Mei'er will do it again. How could a mother not have an eyebrow? ”

Li Xiangyu's heart was like a knife, tears were like rain, he took Yun Shu into his arms, and choked up: "How could my mother not want you." Mei'er is sensible and capable, and she handles things at home in an orderly manner these days, and her mother sees it in her eyes. Mother just wants one more person to hurt her eyebrows. Your Uncle Yan treats you so well, if he accepts you as a righteous daughter, you will be able to take care of less housework and have more energy to study in the future. ”

Yan Shizhen looked sad on the side.

"Mother was lying to me. You just said it so poignantly! "Yun Shu is an extremely smart person, and she is not so easy to coax at a young age.

Li Xiangyu said: "Everything my mother does is naturally for your good. Your Uncle Yan recognizes you as a righteous daughter, and will love you like your father in the future, isn't it? Haven't you always wanted to know the outside world? Your Uncle Yan has traveled all over the country and is well-informed. Where your father didn't take you before, your Uncle Yan can take you there, isn't it good? ”

Yun Shu looked at Yan Shizhen with teary eyes, turned her head and said, "I also want my mother to love me all the time." ”

"Mother will naturally love you all the time, silly child."

"Really?"

"Really." The woman was really good at lying, and after a few circles, she went around the crying child again.

"Brother Yan?" Li Xiangyu's eyes were full of sincere inquiry.

"If you can settle down, stop thinking about it, and take care of your illness."

Yan Shizhen knew Li Xiangyu's condition very well, but he didn't say anything about it, no one in this family could carry the beam, and he couldn't hand over this burden to a young child, or a sick patient. He just hated himself for his limited medical skills.

Li Xiangyu nodded hurriedly.

Yan Shizhen lowered his body and said to Yun Shu: "Mei'er is smart and sensible, Uncle Yan likes Mei'er very much." I don't know if Mei'er is willing to recognize Uncle Yan as her father-in-law and let me love you like your father? ”

Yun Shu looked at the kindness in Yan Shizhen's eyes and the kindness in his words, and let go of the vigilance and rejection in his heart a little. "Uncle Yan is different from my father." After a pause, "Mei'er also likes Uncle Yan." Look at Li Xiangyu again, "Is this good?" Will the father be angry? ”

"Silly boy, one more person loves you, and your father is too late to be happy, how can he be angry?" Li Xiangyu said with tears on his face.

Yun Shu gave Yan Shizhen a blessing: "Thank you Uncle Yan for your love, and I am willing to recognize Mei'er as a righteous daughter, Mei'er will definitely be filial to her father-in-law like honoring her parents in the future." ”

Li Xiangyu saw that although the tears and snot on her face had not yet dried, her words were calm and steady, and she had honed a lot of practice these days. wiped away her tears for Yun Shu, and smiled at Yan Shizhen: "It's better to choose a day than today, this recognition ceremony is today." She didn't have much time to make a thorough preparation.

Yan Shizhen nodded.

Li Xiangyu tried to sit up straight, "Baixiang." ”

The conversation in the room just now, Bai Xiang also listened sadly, and his eyes were still red when he came in.

"Ma'am."

"You go and ask the cook to make some preparations, and then go and tell Guizhi that I asked her to prepare some things before and let her bring them." Li Xiangyu gasped for a moment, and then asked, "Is Yunfan outside?" ”

"Yun Fan is here." Outside the door, Yunfan responded.

"You go to the front yard and let Steward Meng prepare it in the hall, this ceremony should be seen by Jintong." Although Li Xiangyu was seriously ill, she thought of everything.

"Yes, ma'am, I'll go." Yun Fan departed in response.

After resting at the head of the bed for a while, Li Xiangyu changed his clothes and groomed again with the help of Guizhi and Bai Xiang. I applied a thick powder and some rouge to cover my face, but the thin robe of the whole person was much wider. But she was in a good mood, and in her heart, this was dressed up for Jintong to see.

After finishing the makeup, Guizhi and Baixiang helped her slowly to the front yard. Guizhi wanted to hug her, but she didn't agree. This may be the last time I walked through this house full of memories.

The white candles in the hall were high, the lights were flickering, Li Xiangyu went in first and worshiped the ancestors of the Yun family.

"The ancestors of the Yun family are on top, the Yun family is thin, and the Li family, the sinner of the Yun family, cannot give birth to a male for the Yun family, only one woman, Yun Shu. Now the master will go first, and my life will not be long, but pity my son is lonely, and the lintel of the Yun family is helpless. Fortunately, my master's best friend Yan Shizhen visited, and I wanted to make Yun Shu recognize Yan Shizhen as his father-in-law. This is a helpless move, looking at the ancestors of the Yun family to forgive their sins, hoping that my husband will enter the same spring to know, and protect Mei'er to grow up safely. ”

After speaking, the incense was on, and Yan Shizhen was invited to enter.

Yan Shizhen came in and put on a stick of incense.

"Contemptible Yan Shizhen, friend of Yun Jintong," Yan Shizhen couldn't say any more, paused, and continued, "I have the trust of Brother and Sister Mengyun, and I trust my young daughter Yun Shu to each other." I, Yan Shizhen, swear here, that I will accept Yunshu as a righteous daughter today, and I will do my best to take care of Yunshu to grow up safely in the future, take care of this only bloodline for Jintongxian, and live up to the trust and trust of Jintongxian's brother and sister. ”

Li Xiangyu burst into tears and smiled, beckoning to the outside of the hall.

Yun Shu stepped into the threshold and bowed to the ancestors of the Yun family and his father.

After getting up, look at Li Xiangyu, Li Xiangyu smiled at her and motioned for her to give Yan Shizhen a gift. Yun Shu turned around, took the coat and hat from Ziyun's hand, knelt down in front of Yan Shizhen, and put it above his head.

Li Xiangyu said: "This is a gift I prepared for Mei'er to honor my father-in-law." Please accept it, Brother Yan. ”

Yan Shizhen took the gift, put it on the small table next to him, picked up Yun Shu, and took out a silver bracelet with a simple moire pattern from his arms, with two small red gems inlaid on it.

"This is the ancestral heirloom left by the mother to Yan, which was originally given to Yan to his wife, but Yan has never been married for half of his life, and today he will give this silver bracelet to his righteous daughter Yunshu to show his heart of protection." His gaze shifted from Yun Jintong's tablet to Li Xiangyu's face, "I hope that Jintong's virtuous brother and sister can rest assured that Yan will live up to his trust." ”

After that, he put the silver bracelet on Yun Shu gently, shook it hard, and adjusted the size to the right fit for Yun Shu's small wrist.

Yun Shu knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you for your father-in-law's generous gift, Mei'er will be filial to her father-in-law in the future." ”

Yan Shizhen said kindly to Yun Shu: "Hurry up." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and helped her up.

Yun Shu stood up and looked back at Li Xiangyu.

Li Xiangyu insisted desperately on this operation, but when he saw Licheng, he couldn't hold it anymore, with a reassuring smile, his eyes went dark, and he fell crookedly. Yan Shizhen quickly held her up.

"Katsura Branch!" Yan Shizhen shouted.

For a while, Yunshu, Guizhi, Baixiang, and Ziyun all rushed over. After all, Steward Meng and Yun Fan are men, and they are in a hurry, and they can't step forward to do anything.

Gui Zhi hugged Li Xiangyu, who was not able to do it lightly, and after Yan Shizhen checked his pulse, he hugged Li Xiangyu and went back to the bedroom surrounded by everyone.

Because Li Xiangyu suddenly fainted, Yun Shu's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was originally seriously prepared, could not be eaten well.

Yun Shu settled Li Xiangyu and asked Gui Zhi to distribute red envelopes with an increased share to the maids and servants at home, and let them go to the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner by themselves, while she quietly stayed in front of her mother's bed.

Yan Shizhen squatted down, looked at Yun Shu, and said softly: "Mei'er? ”

Yun Shu opened her mouth, "Father-in-law." ”

Yan Shizhen nodded, "Go eat something, I'll watch your mother here." ”

"No, I'm not hungry." Yun Shu looked at Yan Shizhen pitifully, "Father-in-law, is my mother okay?" Why haven't I woken up yet? ”

Yan Shizhen stretched out his hand and stroked Yunshu's bun, just like Yun Jintong in the past. Yun Shu was so caress that tears rolled down.

Yan Shizhen took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, wiped away her tears and said, "Your mother is tired today, the medicine has already been boiled, and if it is too late, your mother will wake up." You are obedient, go eat something first, and don't let your mother worry about you anymore. ”
