XVII. Artificial water system 2

"I guessed. Unexpectedly, it was worse than I expected. Shen Yishi, who also likes anxiety in Tongzhou Daying, looked at the rouge gouache brought by Zhu Yihe's daughter-in-law, and complained to his third daughter, Shen Jiarou, who is also the fiancΓ©e of the third master.

Jiarou asked, "What did you guess?" ”

Shen Yishi nodded and said, "What else can there be?" Didn't you hear? The third master has to stay in the Nine National Medical Center for more than half a year. ”

Jiarou said calmly: "Listen, didn't he also say, if there is something, let us go to Baiwang Mountain to find him." ”

"Did I say are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?" Shen Yishi quickly pointed his finger on Jiarou's head.

Jiarou gently brushed away her mother's fingers and said, "Don't point fingers. When it comes to marriage, I welcome your pointers, but I can't stand your pointers. ”

Shen Yishi straightened his eyes and said, "Third girl, you are really calm. ”

Jiarou said: "Mrs. Shen, you are really not calm. How old are they? ”

Shen Yishi sneered, took out the posture of an elder, and said, "If I ask you to kneel, you have to kneel obediently." However, you're also too old to kneel or not. ”

Jiarou got up, saluted her mother, and said, "I still like my mother's calm appearance. ”

Shen Yishi dissipated his anger and said, "Girl, I'm worried, in the future, you will marry her." ”

Jiarou said: "In the future, if I get married, why should my mother worry? ”

Shen Yishi simply said: "It's not like you haven't seen that beautiful jade. She's no ordinary person. ”

Jiarou said: "It's not an ordinary person, it's also a human being. It's not a ghost, can you still eat me? Sister Miyu is a good person, she won't make waves. ”

Shen Yishi saw that his daughter's idea was too right, and he didn't want to argue about anything, so he only said: "Okay, girl, when you cry in the future, the door of the Shen family will be open for you at any time." ”

Jiarou was puzzled and said, "Why is Mother worried about what hasn't happened yet? ”

Shen Yishi didn't want to convince his daughter, but just wanted to prove that he was right: "That's everything, all of which are moving in the usual sense." I fear that it has not happened, because I have seen what has already happened, and I look for the usual reasoning to speculate that it will happen in the future. ”

This is not unreasonable, Jiarou understood it, she tilted her head sideways and asked, "Mother is so determined?" ”

Shen Yishi saw that her daughter was moved, and she was afraid that she would be worried because of this, and she would not have a good life in the future, so she had to say: "There are exceptions, maybe your sister Meiyu is the exception." ”

Jiarou lowered her head and pondered, and Shen Yishi also said in her heart: There are no exceptions, even if there are, there will be no exceptions to this matter of men and women.

The mother and daughter sat for a while, and Jiarou said, "Mother, can I find a day to go to the hospital to have a look." ”

Shen Yishi said: "Don't go." He will come to you if he has the heart. Don't rush. ”

Jiarou lowered her head and said, "It's not the first day to catch up, what else are you twisting." I look at Sister Meiyu, and she is very active. ”

Shen Yishi sighed and said, "A girl without a father and a mother naturally has no ethics and morals. She lived freely. Sometimes, I really envy her. However, you are a girl in a big house, and it is her business to be free and easy, and she doesn't have to explain it to anyone. You are different, you have to give us a big family, as well as the ancestral hall. I didn't listen to what your father often said, and I didn't have the shame to see my ancestors and ancestors. That is to say, you have to consider the face of your ancestors when you live, and after you die, you have to consider the face of your ancestors. ”

Jia Rou sighed and said, "Mother, you really see it thoroughly. ”

Shen Yishi said: "What's the good of seeing through? It's just a matter of worrying. Don't talk about this, you will be out of the cabinet in half a year. What day did it come? ”

Jiarou said: "On the day of the winter solstice. ”

Shen Yishi said: "Okay, then let's wait." It just so happened that his third master was busy with Baiwang Mountain, and the day was up. Shen Yishi paused, and then said, "If that beautiful jade enters together, can you do it?" ”

Jiarou said, "What if it doesn't work? Don't embarrass me. ”

Shen Yishi said: "That girl is foreign, maybe she doesn't understand these women being jealous." We don't have to worry too much. ”

Jiarou said: "If there is no place to stay, I will go back to Tongzhou and ask my mother to give me a place to stay." After saying this, Jiarou began to cry.

Shen Yishi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, she helped her daughter wipe away her tears, and said, "Seeing that you have been thinking about it, how can you say these frustrating words." ”

Jiarou said, "For a while, for a while. Sometimes I feel that it is okay, and sometimes I feel that I can't live. Mother, other people's families are all in the door, resigned to fate, and the master is also allowed to marry a few people. Our family is good, and before we passed the door, I met my sister in the future. ”

Shen Yishi: "On reason, she wants to call you sister." But kid, why are you worried about her again after you praised her just now? ”

Jiarou wiped away the tears that had just fallen and said, "Mother, it's been a while." All right! I can think of it. No matter how bad it is, I am also his wife. The side room, which cannot enter the genealogy or enter the ancestral tomb, is also pitiful. As long as I don't get into trouble, I can live in peace. If she really changed her face, then there is also an uncle and a father. ”

Originally, Jiarou wanted to open it. But when she accompanied her grandmother to the Nine National Medical Center for treatment, Jiarou witnessed the third master and Meiyu's Qingqing and me several times, so that no matter how much anyone who can think of it, it will be like sitting on pins and needles. Jiarou, who is still young, doesn't know how to calculate and hold grudges, and she doesn't blame Meiyu, but she is worried that in the future, if you and I are like glue and we are hanging around the house every day, even if I am indifferent, I am afraid that those people will also see the wind and rudder.

Sunrise and sunset, the full moon and the lack of the moon, the Shen family in Tongzhou is waiting for the completion of the Baiwang Mountain and Water System, and after the completion, it is the pavilion that Jiarou and Shen Yi are looking forward to.

In the past few days, the third master has been busy building the reservoir near Rose Mountain. Andre chattered while supervising the work: "It's completely possible to expand the Rose Mountain." The Rose Mountain is not big, and it can be completed in a few days. ”

The third master studied the topographic map in his hand and didn't care about him.

Andre beckoned the third master to talk to him: "Third master, please come and take a look, the Rose Mountain is ten steps away from this reservoir, let's get it easily, right?" ”

The third master looked at Andre's hand and said, "Well, it's not far." So what did Dean Pasteur say? The third master continued to look back at the topographic map in his hand.

Andrei said stupidly: "He refused without any reason!" ”

The third master studied the terrain and said "um, um" twice in his mouth.

Andre approached the third master and whispered: "Actually, we move faster, we will finish it in two days, and he will never ask to shrink the expanded ones back, right?" ”

The third master continued to study the terrain, looked up and asked, "What?" What expands? Shrink? ”

Seeing that he didn't bother to take care of himself, Andrei shrugged his shoulders and walked away stupidly.

After finishing work in the evening, the third master went to the beautiful jade house to talk.

The third master said: "Andre has a problem with me, I want to find something, he wants to expand Rose Mountain." ”

Meiyu joked: "Maybe you helped him build Rose Mountain, and that thing will come out." ”

The third master said: "Hey, I don't have any ambitions, Baiwang Mountain is about to fall over, I haven't found anything, and he hasn't expanded into Rose Mountain." I have to say, Dean Pasteur can really hide. ”

Meiyu asked, "Since everything is safe, why are you looking for anything?" Father-in-law Li was gone, and the couple also left Swallow Lake. How good it is now, no one is looking for trouble, let me say, don't toss. ”

The third master asked: "Speaking of Gonggong Li, is the box of pearls still there?" ”

Meiyu said, "Yes." Dean Pasteur put it away. ”

The third master said, "I should return it to Mrs. Shen." I'll go get it from him another day. ”

Meiyu glanced at the third master and asked, "Are you going to the Shen family in Tongzhou?" ”

The third master said: "Let's talk about it after the water system is repaired." The third master said, walked towards Meiyu, stuck to her and asked, "Aren't you going tonight?" ”

Miyu patted him on the back and didn't say a word. Then I went around the house.

The third master chased after her, waiting for her to speak. Meiyu hesitated for a long time before saying, "There is a medical school in Paris that admits nursing students. The principal and the dean were planning to send me to France. ”

This sudden news made the third master speechless, he grabbed Meiyu, looked at her, and asked, "What did you say?" Didn't understand. ”

Meiyu heard the third master's dissatisfaction and said, "How can I not understand, I won't hide it from you, I am indeed very tempted." ”

The third master shook his head and said with a sneer: "What is tempting? ”

"If I make the trip, I will be the first Chinese nursing student to go to Europe," Meiyu said. ”

The third master saw that Meiyu was not making fun of herself, but she was also speechless for a while by these high-level words such as "China's first", "Europe", "foreign student" and so on. For some reason, a wave of dissatisfaction and jealousy arose, the third master nodded slowly, signaling that he understood, and then said with a sigh of anger, half-mockingly: "It's amazing." Indeed, it can go down in history. ”

Meiyu tilted her head, looked at the third master, and asked, "Are you mocking me?" ”

"Don't dare!" The third master replied indignantly.

Meiyu took a breath, raised her head, stretched out her slender and arrogant jade neck, and said, "The third master looks down on me, and I have long been accustomed to the ridicule and ridicule of others in the medical hall all these years. ”

The third master knew what Meiyu meant, and he should really take responsibility for causing Meiyu's reputation to be damaged, so he interrupted Meiyu and said, "Don't say it." It's me who is not good, it was originally our business, and the spread of it has ruined your reputation. The third master was indeed a little angry, because he couldn't accept that Meiyu planned to leave him and leave the country. He always thought that he was everything about Meiyu, but in this way, it was not. The balance of love is tilted, and the one who pays less will be the first to perceive unfairness!

Meiyu comforted the third master: "It's good that you know in your heart." I have no father or mother, I don't have to give an account to anyone, and I don't care about fame. But in her heart, Meiyu still said to herself: Who doesn't care about fame?

These words were exactly the same as the words of the eldest brother earlier, which made the third master sweat. He looked up at Miyu like a stranger. On second thought, "France", "medical school", these words that sound very noble, really make anyone feel tempted.

The third master lowered his head and said in a low voice, like a child who bowed his head and admitted his mistakes: "Yes, if I change me, I will not go to Dahoucang and live in the outer house." ”

This pitiful appearance provoked Meiyu's motherhood, she laughed and shed tears, and said: "I was born from a light background, but I am fortunate to be treated by God and meet many nobles. Over the years, you are not clear with the third master. If it weren't for the pity of the dean and the principal, they would have been kicked out a long time ago. Right now, they know that your mansion can't accommodate me, so they give me a way out. ”

Hearing this, the third master was heartbroken. Compared with the medical center's love for Meiyu, what he did for his lover was not only not enough to worry about, but even he couldn't find a few remarkable things.

The third master sighed and said, "I didn't expect me to lose here." ”

Meiyu was a little surprised by the third master's statement. She originally thought that the third master would jump up and leave her alone. But Meiyu is convinced of the third master's love, and she knows that her lover is really helpless.

"It's just that every day, when the sun goes down, it's very low. That's why I like cloudy days, when there's no sun on cloudy days, and it doesn't set, it doesn't go down. Meiyu muttered to herself lightly.

The third master held back his tears, nodded his head, and said, "Do I still have room to turn over?" The good days really won't last long, the water system is about to be repaired, and the good days are gone, and they haven't been so thorough. ”

The two of them each spoke their own words. Meiyu is unwilling, but looks forward to her lover's retention; The third master was ashamed of himself, unable to do anything, watching his lover fly high, and feeling insignificant. He was originally a high-minded suitor, but suddenly he became a low-profile suitor under the hem of his skirt. All of these were unacceptable to the third master for a while: he and his lover had inadvertently created a distance, and not only the distance between the big houcang and Baiwang Mountain, but to drift across the ocean to the other side of the entire continent.

The third master said to himself: "Even if you can convince the eldest brother to let you in, the status of that side room is naturally not as good as studying in France." At this point, our third master finally stood in Meiyu's position and thought about it for her.

Meiyu measured her head and did not speak.

"Do I have room to turn over?" The third master looked at her side face and asked in a low voice.

Meiyu was very heartbroken when she saw the third master's lost appearance, she wiped away her tears, turned her head to look at the third master, and asked with a smile: "Third master, do you have me in your heart?" ”

The third master walked over and hugged her: "I lost." I'm still worried about that uncle all day long, hey! I'll take what for you to stay. ”

"It's been going for years, can you wait?" After speaking, Meiyu laughed, "I don't have a face anymore, who made me reluctant to live or die for you?" Anyway, it's just a side room, so I'm not in a hurry to get started. Meiyu embed herself tightly in the arms of the third master.

The third master said: "Then you will be a well-known nurse when you come back, can you still look at me?" "Love is like this, the proud party always bows his posture when the other party really wants to go away and fly high.

Meiyu chuckled and said, "I'm also a famous nurse now, how many hospitals in the south have asked me to be the head nurse, Shanghai, Guangzhou, **." I can't bear you, I can't bear Baiwang Mountain, so I refuse to go. ”

The third master also laughed and said, "Yohe, you mean, you don't necessarily like me now, right?" The two laughed.

Meiyu restrained her emotions and said calmly: "I know that the third master's family can't talk about it, so you don't have to be awkward with the family." In a few years, when I come back from studying abroad, they will naturally look up to me, right? When the time comes, don't dislike me for being old. ”

"That co-author, you ruthlessly and unjustly left me in order to better accompany me. Yes, it's all your responsibility. If there is a day, I will wait, and you will not be able to come back. After speaking, the third master wet his eyes.

The empathetic beauty of jade, the prelude to separation, reconciled with incomparable warmth. She left hope for herself and the third master. This loving couple, no one can accept separation, so they have to use these warm words to comfort first. Tomorrow will always come, and your lover will always leave, but if you are sure that one day we will meet again, then it will be easier to part.

Meiyu sent the third master out of the nurse's station and stood at the door of the infirmary, with the starlight and the moon above her head, Meiyu said, "Don't you ask the third master when I will leave?" ”

The third master said, "Come on, I'll just go with you." ”

Meiyu laughed: "I hope it will be a cloudy day." If there is no sunrise and sunset, there will be no sadness. ”

The third master looked up at the moon and asked in a false voice, "Hey! So when are you leaving? ”

Meiyu reached out and stroked the third master's face: "Next summer." ”

The third master took a deep breath of the mountain air, slowly exhaled it, and said, "It can't be cloudy that day, I can't stand it." ”

"On cloudy days, the heart is steady, and there is no sun shining, and there is no shadow; There are so many people who accompany them to lament that the sky is not good and they have no energy, but it seems that they are no longer lonely with their comrades. As soon as the sun came out, everyone was smiling, and only one of them was sad, and they felt even more gloomy and desolate. Meiyu still said to herself.

The third master sighed, "Why did you suddenly feel so much emotion?" ”

Meiyu sneered: "The third master said that he was laughing, why was it all of a sudden?" The good news of my trip to France was like the sun, which disturbed me. I'd rather stay with you all the time, without seeing hope, but I wouldn't leave you. Ah! I used to think that trouble and sadness were the same thing, but now I realize that they are two different things, but the two things will come together in a cold manner. So, I like cloudy days. ”

The third master, who was also sad, returned to the dormitory, thinking that if he hadn't taken the note from Gonggong Li, he wouldn't have looked for any dragon head, let alone coveted the title deed on the top of the mountain, and naturally he didn't have a marriage with Jiarou. Then, he can take Meiyu back to Dahoucang, if the family refuses to take her as a wife, he will never marry a wife, as long as he keeps with her, he will be content. The third master was unhappy and decided to find Pasteur, hoping to learn the ins and outs of Meiyu's sudden dispatch to Europe.

Pasteur had not yet rested, and he received a visit from the third master in his dormitory.

"The water system is almost finished, so it's really hard for you." Pasteur said.

The third master said, "Well, it's just the cistern next to the Rose Mountain." You will be able to test the waters in a few days. ”

When Pasteur heard the Rose Mountain, he turned his head out the window and asked, "Is AndrΓ© pestering you to expand the Rose Mountain?" ”

The third master said, "That's right. See the sky chattering. However, it is still up to you to decide, and we will do what you say. ”

Pasteur looked at the third master for a long time before he said, "Let's go back and discuss it again." Is there anything important that you are looking for me at such a late hour? ”

The third master thought about it, didn't know how to speak, "um" for a long time, and said, "Dean, how could Meiyu be sent to France?" ”

Pasteur laughed and said, "Oh, this is something that should be said hello to the first third master, but I didn't think about it." The first is that she is really good, and the second is that this child was raised by us single-handedly, like our own daughter. We have always wanted to train a Chinese nurse scientist. And. ”

The third master asked, "And what?" ”

Pasteur got up from his chair and said, "Okay, Third Master, there's no need to hide anything from you. The truth of the matter is that Bo Jia received an invitation letter from the French medical school, inviting him to practice medicine and give lectures in France. Bo Jia suggested that if they were willing to accept a nurse from China to study nursing, then he would accept the invitation. ”

These descriptions made the third master angry. Just now, he felt that he had lost to the situation that he didn't know why, but in the end, he still lost to his rival in love.

"Does Miyu know this?!" The third master asked.

She knew that Bo Jia would also go, but she didn't know that this opportunity was won by Bo Jia, and Bo Jia didn't want to put any pressure on her. Objectively speaking, in terms of strength, she should have been selected to go over, and Bo Jia just helped her. And I believe that Miyu will be an outstanding nurse practitioner. This is not only good for herself, but also for the hospital, for the capital, and even for the country. ”

In the face of great achievements, the love of children has lost its weight in an instant. The third master felt that if he stood up to stop this, he would lose his husband's heart; He also thought, how could Bo Jia secretly do these things? Eclipsing yourself.

"Generally, how long will it take?" The third master asked.

"Nursing also takes at least three years, and the fourth year is an internship in a hospital. But she still has one more year of preparatory school, so that it is a total of five years. Pasteur counted on his fingers.

The third master also counts in his heart, Meiyu is sixteen years old this year, and she will be twenty-one years old after graduation. If I had returned to China that year, I would have been twenty-two years old. I was thirty years old at the time, and I was able to enter the door independently, and I just happened to marry into the door.

"How long does it take to get to France by boat?" The third master came back to his senses and asked.

"Three months faster, four months slower." Pasteur said.

"It's so far, it will take five years to go, and I can't come back halfway." The third master muttered to himself.

Pasteur sneered.

The third master asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Pasteur said, "Third Master, I have discussed it with the principal. We don't feel at ease when we hand over the beautiful jade to you. ”

The third master was stunned, he looked at Pasteur puzzled, his face was dazed, he didn't know what to say, he only said: "Yes, I haven't done anything for her." ”

"Hey, my third master, you are thinking about it at this time, when will she come back to see you, why haven't you thought about it, you went to see her? We often have people who come to France, so you can go with them to see the jade. Pasteur laughed.

"Yes, yes, I can go over and see her." The third master was ashamed of himself again, and he also wondered why he couldn't think of this.

Seeing that the third master was full of guilt, Pasteur said: "Don't worry about young people, you are too beautiful and proud, you are used to the praise and admiration of others, and it is normal that you don't know how to love others." Unfortunately, you don't have the opportunity to learn how to care for others, and you may not even learn it for the rest of your life. ”

The third master looked at Pasteur in surprise, this was the first time he had heard such an assertion, and after a while, the third master said, "Dean, do I still have a chance?" ”

Pasteur didn't understand, and looked at the third master suspiciously.

The third master said, "How can I learn those?" ”

Pasteur said, "Let's see if you can learn from the loss of jade this time." ”

The third master said goodnight to Pasteur and turned to leave. Pasteur said to the third master who had opened the door: "Third master, it is beautiful to be loved, but what is even better is to love others." At this point, Meiyu, Jiarou, Bojia, they are all happier than you. ”

This reasoning, although somewhat unintelligible, sounds right. The third master walked into his own room, and when he passed by the uncle's room, he wanted to push the door and go in to theorize. But he knew that Bo Jia had done the real thing, and he had nothing to question. At the moment, he can only fix the water system first, and then take one step at a time.

The succession of bad news made the third master unhappy, but the good news is that no one has been looking for trouble. Maybe it was because they saw that the third master was dedicated to doing coolies and no longer tossing the dragon's head, so they let him go.

On the day of the completion of the water system, a simple ceremony was held in the medical center. Pasteur thanked AndrΓ© and the third master. The third master hid behind the crowd and gave up all the glory to Andre.

After the celebration, Pasteur walked up to the third master and said, "Everything is safe, that's what we want, isn't it?" ”

The third master arched his hand and said, "Thank you dean for taking me in the past few months." ”

"I should thank you for your many contributions to the hospital," Pasteur said. ”

The third master said, "Dean, is the box of black pearls left by Gonggong Li still there?" Why don't I go and give it back to the person in the note? ”

Pasteur said, "Does the third master recognize that family? ”

The third master said: "I recognize, Yi Yuanying, is the ancestor of Shen Jialuo's mother Yi Hangcai." ”

Pasteur said in astonishment, "Yes, yes, Carlius's mother said that her ancestors were students of my predecessor, Master Chandmen. Ah! ”

The third master said: "So? And this relationship? ”

Pasteur said, "Well, that's providence." No, Third Master, this is the fate of you Chinese. That Qian Deming is my ancestor; That Yi Yuanying is the ancestor of Jialiu. You see, the next few generations of us actually met in Baiwang Mountain. Isn't it amazing, you say? Pasteur was so excited that he clapped his hands and painted.

The third master asked, "Who is Qian Deming?" ”

"The same people who originally planned to set up a hospital here," Pasteur said. Later generations carried out his idea and built this medical center. ”

The third master nodded and said, "You healed Shen Jialuo and Tian Rongchuan. Tian Rongchuan is the child of Mrs. Shen's sister in Hangzhou, and a descendant of the Yi family. In this way, this fate is rounded. ”

Pasteur laughed: "The world is wonderful. ”

Pasteur took the third master back to his dormitory, took out the box of black pearls from the cabinet, and exchanged them for the third master, "Return the things to their original owners." ”

The third master took the box, nodded and said, "I'll send it over another day." ”

Sitting in the carriage of the Yanzi Lake guys, the third master went to Tongzhou District. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Meiyu and told her that he was going to Shen's house in Tongzhou, and he would stay for a few days, and he might go to Dahoucang to have a look, or he might come to the hospital. He clearly explained his future itinerary, which was not done in the past, and Meiyu said gratefully: "You finally no longer see the beginning and the end of the dragon." ”

The third master said: "In the past, I was ignorant, so I didn't start learning to be a man." ”

Meiyu was a little flattered and said, "You don't have to be like this, the third master is used to being proud, and he is not so humble that I am not used to it." ”

The third master asked in confusion: "No, am I not modest?" I thought I'd always been a very easy-going person. ”

Meiyu straightened his neckline and said with a smile, "Modest, modest." ”

The third master hurriedly asked: "Don't, you tell me, where is not modest." ”

Meiyu said, "Then I said, don't be angry. For example, you never give people an explanation, you come when you want to come, you go when you want to go. On weekdays, you can bring me whatever you like, and you never ask me what I like. You don't have anything to be humble, but you can't put others in your heart. I don't blame you, it's all those of us who admire you and get used to you. ”

The third master said: "Hey, I said, why didn't you say such an important thing." The third master thought to himself, these words are the same as Pasteur's words.

Meiyu said, "I don't think it's a big deal. Who made you so thoughtful and so cute. You lose your temper, I love both. ”

The third master laughed and said, "Stop, stop, you're killing, aren't you." ”

Meiyu chuckled: "I just like you, what are you doing to kill you?" ”

The third master said: "If you don't have these, I can be better for you." You won't be tempted to go to France. Gotcha, gotcha. Come back the day after tomorrow. ”

Meiyu asked anxiously: "Do you want to stay for two nights?" ”

The third master explained: "I also have to go to the camp to say hello." ”

Meiyu knew that she had asked too much, and was relieved: "Lu Yuan, you can rest and come back." ”

The third master took Meiyu's sweet words on the road, he kept observing whether anyone was following him, but he didn't find anything unusual, and he arrived in Tongzhou smoothly. The carriage and horse stopped outside the door of the Shen family's mansion, Agui came out to greet him, and the third master politely said to Agui: "You are tired." ”

In the past, the third master never spoke. Ah Gui was flattered by the sentence "You are tired", and hurriedly reported to the front yard: "The third master is visiting." ”

The third master thought to himself, he hadn't been so polite in the past, and he went to the front yard by himself. It seems that the previous self was indeed less modest.

Shen Zongfu came out, followed by Zhu Yihe.

"Brother Shen, I haven't seen you for a long time." The third master spoke first to greet him.

"Oh, third master, please please." Shen Zongfu wondered how the third master, who had always waited for others to speak, had learned to take the initiative to greet others.

The third master followed Shen Zongfu to the north house, and greeted Zhu Yihe as he walked: "Brother Zhu, have you all been here?" ”

Zhu Yihe didn't expect the third master to call himself "big brother", so he hurriedly laughed and said, "I've been here." Thanks to the third master's concern. ”

The third master actually replied to him: "It should be." Then the third master took the initiative to explain Jia Luo's daily life to Shen Zongfu, saying: "Jia Luo is getting more and more breathing, operating eye surgery alone, and some people even come to visit, saying that it is the young little doctor who has good skills. Rong Chuan is also the same, often following Dean Pasteur to the city for medical treatment, and has seen a lot of the world. ”

Shen Zongfu was said by these words. He led the third master into the north room, and the two of them sat on the upper seat. The third master exchanged a few more pleasantries, then took out the box of pearls and said, "This thing is for Madame." ”

Shen Zongfu took the box, opened it, took out a note, and read: "This thing will be handed over to Qian Deming, the family member of Xishiku, and ask Lord Qian to send it to Yi Yuanying in France as appropriate." ”

While reading, Shen Yi came from the backyard and entered the north house. When she heard the words "Yi Hangcai", she should have gone over immediately and looked with her husband. But the third master was present, she was very measured and urban, sitting on the side, waiting for her husband to greet her.

"Madam, come and see, this is a relic of your ancestors." Shen Zongfu said.

Only then did Shen Yishi get up, walk over slowly, take the note, look at it carefully, hesitate for a long time, and said, "It's Grandpa's note." ”

Shen Zongfu asked, "Why did the third master come to this thing." ”

The third master said: "I am entrusted by others." ”

Shen Yishi looked at the third master, then at the husband, and said, "Let's go to the study and talk." ”

Shen Zongfu understood what his wife meant, and hurriedly led the third master to the study.

After closing the door of the study, Shen Yishi walked to the third master and asked, "Third master, where did this thing come from?" ”

The third master said calmly: "I am indeed entrusted by others, and the younger generation does not know where to come from, please forgive me." ”

Shen Yishi walked towards Shen Zongfu in a trance and said, "There really is a box of treasures." ”

Hearing this, the third master couldn't sit still. He glanced at Shen Zongfu and hoped that he could find out what was going on for him. Shen Zongfu is a person who can sit still, so naturally he won't ask anything. Seeing this, the third master had no choice but to follow Shen Yi's words and ask: "Madam, I also want to know what is going on with this treasure." ”

Shen Yishi looked at the third master and said: "It's all in the past, my ancestor buried a box of treasures in Baiwang Mountain, which was the private money that my grandfather saved for the aunt who went to France." It is said that before he could hand it over to Qian Deming, he was assigned to Wusu Yalitai with Heshen. This note may have been left by him earlier. ”

"France" is a sensitive word for the third master, and he doesn't care about asking anything else, only asking: "France?" ”

Shen Yishi said: "France is Pasteur's hometown. My aunt is in Paris. ”

The third master asked anxiously: "What happened later?" Is she back? Or stayed in Paris. The third master asked about the past, and also inquired about Paris, which is the future of Meiyu.

Shen Yishi said: "Naturally, there is none. I searched for several generations, but I didn't find it. ”

This is the last thing the third master wants to hear, although this has nothing to do with Meiyu, but the third master can't stand it.

Shen Yishi then asked, "Third Master, where did this pearl come from?" ”

The third master's mind was full of beautiful jade, and he didn't hear Shen Yi's question.

Shen Yishi walked up to him, grabbed his arm and asked, "Third Master, where did this pearl come from?" ”

The third master came back to his senses and said, "Madam, I am indeed entrusted by someone. However, I also heard that the box of treasures was used by the palace people to buy a warship. ”

Shen Yishi listened, pursed his lips and nodded, walked towards Shen Zongfu, and said, "Husband, in this way, my ancestor has accumulated merit. With that, she cried.

Shen Zongfu hurriedly appeased, Shen Yishi cried more and more, for a long time, took a breath, and said to the third master: "Third master, our Yi family is the old Beijing of eight generations. It was because that aunt had gone to France that my grandfather had done what he shouldn't have done in order to settle her down in Paris. Baiwang Mountain is my family's, and the top of the mountain is also my family's. You have to take it! You know, you have taken our last property of Yijia in Beijing, and you have also broken our roots! ”

These heart-wrenching words made Shen Yi's family happy and embarrassed the third master. Shen Zongfu hurriedly rounded the field and said, "Hey, Jiarou married and is a family again." In the future, Jia Luo will also get the Materia Medica, and this land is still in our own hands. ”

The third master was touched by France's compassionate past, and he worried, worried about whether this was a sign that Meiyu would also be gone. Where he was, he didn't say a word.

Shen Yishi mistakenly thought that he was guilty, so he didn't pursue it anymore, but said: "Let the kitchen prepare something good at night, let's talk about it, and get along better in the future." ”

The third master should accept it and say, "Yes, please also invite Jiarou to dine together." ”

Shen Yishi glanced at the third master, and said in his heart that you are not completely inhuman.

During the banquet, the third master tried to restrain his thoughts about Meiyu. and Jiarou greeted each other.

"What is the girl doing at home recently?" The third master asked.

Jiarou was moved by such a kind question, the so-called kindness is the previous conversation with the third master, which rarely starts with a question, and it is even more difficult to continue. The third master is not good at asking questions, so Jiarou has to think about how her words lead to the next sentence.

"It's okay, just read and write. Is the third master good? Jiarou answered first and then asked.

"The water system that has been repaired for half a year is all manual work, but it is also very happy. It's cold, so the girl should pay attention to the cold. The third master said.

Shen Yi's bystanders wondered: He can speak human words. I haven't seen you for half a year, but I've grown a lot. Isn't that beautiful jade girl**? No, Meiyu and they have known each other for many years, and they are going to come out early.

Shen Yishi thought about it and said it: "The third master's physical work in the past half a year has not been in vain, not only the longer he grows, the stronger he becomes, but his mouth is also better at speaking. ”

The third master said: "Hey, I didn't know how to speak in the past, but I will have to ask the girl and Mrs. for advice in the future." ”

Shen Zongfu was so amused by the third master's words that he squirted out a sip of wine. He laughed and said, "The third master is self-aware. Admire, admire, admire. ”

The third master raised his wine glass and said, "Brother Shen, what you say is so good!" The family sat around the table and giggled.

After the banquet, Shen Zongfu invited the third master to the study to speak.

"Third master, in the near future, I will be arranged to go to the front line?" Shen Zongfu said.

The third master asked in surprise: "You went to the front line?" Why? Is it to treat the war horse or to make other arrangements. "The third master knows that the war horse has long been out of the firing line, and it doesn't make sense for Shen Zongfu to go to see a doctor for the war horse.

Shen Zongfu said: "Foreigners are waiting for an opportunity to move. I stopped being a veterinarian, but led a team to fight guerrilla warfare. ”

The third master asked: "Oh, the little brother doesn't know whether to congratulate or sigh, we are always weak against foreigners." However, Brother Shen's move was because of Shandong? ”

Shen Zongfu shook his hand and said, "Exactly." The news that Uncle Zhu brought from Shandong is not bad with what we reported in Daying. ”

The third master said: "Brother Shen, this is going to lead troops to fight?" ”

Shen Zongfu said: "Wait for the opportunity." ”

The third master got up and checked the window, confirmed that there was no one around, turned back to Shen Zongfu's side, and whispered, "Brother Shen, I have something to report." ”

Shen Zongfu saw that the third master's face was solemn, and comforted him and said, "Don't worry, you speak slowly." ”

"Brother Shen, do you know why I want that piece of land on the top of the mountain?"

"Isn't it to cultivate new herbs?" Shen Zongfu asked.

"Brother Shen, I was entrusted by someone to find a treasure. The treasure was in the infirmary, guarded by Pasteur. Pasteur was a good man, and I couldn't, and I didn't want to embarrass him. Coincidentally, he was ordered to build a sanatorium on the top of the mountain in Dongjiaomin Lane, and he wanted to take that piece of land. I was thinking about whether I could exchange the land on the top of the mountain for the treasure. That's why I agreed to Jiarou's marriage and changed the land. But who knows, the top of the mountain is the commanding height, and the whole of Beijing can be seen at a glance. And I became suspicious. Sure enough, the sanatorium is a front, but it is actually a beacon. ”

This large list of reasons made Shen Zongfu confused. He took them out one by one and talked to the third master.

"Wait, Third Master, let's go through them one by one. I first understood that you married Jiarou in order to get the land. That's your fault. Shen Zongfu interrupted.

The third master said: "It was wrong at first, but I have already figured it out." I will take care of the three girls twice as much in the future. You can rest assured. I'm not the ungrateful one. Besides, I and the three girls are not in love for a day. ”

Shen Zongfu pursed his lips and said, "Then this one can be passed." Second, you said you want to find a treasure, what treasure? Ask Pasteur to guard it himself. Or even the entire summit to trade? Is that what you said in the afternoon, that box of treasures? ”

The third master said, "It's not that box of treasures." There is something else. You start by asking the third one. I'll tell you what it is. ”

Shen Zongfu said: "Okay, then the third one, the sanatorium." The third master is right, Baiwang Mountain is indeed the nearest commanding height in my capital. This is visible on our topographic map. If you want to put a tall building there, even if it is really a sanatorium, it can be used as a beacon, and no one can say anything. So, when will the construction begin? ”

The third master said: "Dean Pasteur is a good man. He disobeyed the instructions of Dongjiaomin Lane and kept dragging it out. This is also the reason why I have not gone to the Haidian official office for a long time to change the ownership of the title deed with my wife. Change the name, and we're exposed. ”

Shen Zongfu asked, "What exposure?" ”

The third master said, "It's the treasure." What we are looking for is the relics of the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace. ”

Shen Zongfu and the third master said in unison: "Dragon head! ”

The third master asked, "How does Brother Shen know?" ”

Shen Zongfu said: "The Tao has been passed on for a long time. I also heard that the man who led the way has been killed. The rest were also deterred from acting. Could it be that the third master is the rest? ”

The third master nodded and said, "It should be." Brother Shen can know, who is planning at this time? ”

Shen Zongfu said: "There are different theories, and everyone has them. I advise you not to provoke again, if they don't look for you, you can burn high incense. ”

The third master frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Shen Zongfu said: "Right now, no one can see clearly, or everyone is fine, and everything is safe, so we must try to be safe." ”

The third master lowered his head: "If the plan is safe, why didn't Brother Shen report his illness at home and resign from going to the front line?" ”

These words made Shen Zongfu speechless, and he thought for a while, "Just have one of our family who risks death for the sake of the safety of the world." ”

"That big brother knows who it is, who killed the leader's mouth." The third master didn't want to ask anything, but took the opportunity to listen to Shen Zongfu's analysis.

"Brother, it's hard to say. Let's not guess, just keep a low profile and don't provoke them. Shen Zongfu was very serious, and it could be seen that he really didn't want to and didn't dare to guess.

The third master nodded, changed his words, and said, "Then, do you know that the patient in Yingtai is okay?" ”

Shen Zongfu said: "He is not sick, but the old lady hopes that he is sick, so he is sick; He was sick, but Dongjiaomin Lane hoped that he was not sick, so he went around to preach that he was not sick. Therefore, whether he is sick or not depends on your third master's needs, and if you need him to be sick, he will be sick; You need him to be ail, and he's ail. It's up to you! ”

Although the third master felt helpless, he was still convinced by the remarks of returning, he smiled and gave Shen Zongfu a hand, and Shen Zongfu also smiled in return.

"And what are Pasteur's plans for the future?" Shen Zongfu then asked.

"It was taken away. Go to North Korea. After the Spring Festival, I will leave. The third master said.

"That's not going to be in time for your wedding." Shen Zongfu said.

The third master smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Shen, what will you and I call in the future." ”

Shen Zongfu said: "You naturally want to call me my father-in-law." ”

The third master smiled: "Then I'll call it up recently, get used to it." Lord Yue. ”

Shen Zongfu also smiled: "The virtuous son-in-law is polite, polite." With that, the two laughed awkwardly together, and both got goosebumps.

After another day, the third master said goodbye to the Shen family in Tongzhou, and he wanted to go back to Dahoucang to have a look. But thinking about the promise to Meiyu, don't break your word, the Yanzihu guy put down the third master and left, so he had to ask Agui to drive him to Baiwang Mountain. Recently, it has been cold, and the third master does not want to ride a horse. In the past, horseback riding was a pleasure and a picture. Today, he's much more low-key.
