Xiao Xinyi hurried to Zhong Yuan's 'Sheung Shui Pavilion' after saluting Sima Zhengqing, she hadn't seen Zhong Yuan and Su Yuexian for more than four months, and before she entered the Sheung Shui Pavilion, she heard a melodious and tactful Xiao sound, at first the bass was crisp and short, like a jade beating, and then the complex sound gradually rose, like a clear spring splashing layers of ripples, just listening to this Xiao sound has made people feel fresh and happy, relaxed and happy, and when they arrived at the Sheung Shui Pavilion, they saw Zhong Yuan and Su Yuexian, Xiao Xinyi's heart was full of happiness.

Su Yuexian's lower abdomen was slightly bulging and half lying on a bamboo rattan chair, Ling Mo was holding a small hammer head and smashing walnuts at the stone table, while Zhong Yuan, dressed in a white robe, was holding Yuxiao on his lips and playing a tune for Su Yuexian.

Sheung Shui Pavilion is planted with a large area of bitter bamboo, every time the wind blows, the whole yard is the rustle of bamboo leaves, once upon a time Xiao Xinyi's favorite is to stand next to these bamboos to watch the bamboo shadow shake, listen to the bamboo leaves whisper.

In addition to bamboo, there is a white plum tree and an osmanthus tree in Zhong Yuan's yard, the plum tree at this time only has a quiet leaf, and it will take a few more months to see the flowers full of branches, but at this time it is the most fragrant season of osmanthus flowers, and you can smell this clear and dusty fragrance when you stand outside the yard.

Zhong Yuan stood under this osmanthus tree, his ethereal and cold posture was like a fairy who fell from the moon with the osmanthus tree.

Xiao Xinyi couldn't bear to disturb this quiet and leisurely time, standing in the distance and listening to Zhong Yuan finish playing a song before Shi Shiran walked into Sheung Shui Pavilion, Su Yuexian was about to get up happily when she saw her, her body moved but she didn't stand up, and hurriedly called: "Senior brother, Begonia is back." ”

Hearing this, Zhong Yuan suddenly turned around and looked behind him, Xiao Xinyi had already come to the two of them.

Xiao Xinyi smiled at the corners of his eyes, and bowed to Zhong Yuan and Su Yuexian: "Haitang has seen senior brother, senior sister." ”

Su Yuexian hurriedly beckoned: "Come over and let me see you, I haven't seen you for many days and you have lost a lot of weight." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xinyi walked a few steps to Su Yuexian, squatted down and said, "Senior sister, I haven't seen you for many days, and I have lost a lot of weight. ”

Ling Mo put down the hammer in his hand and saluted Xiao Xinyi and said, "Ling Mo has seen my aunt. ”

Xiao Xinyi replied with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but Ling Mo has gained a lot of weight." ”

Ling Mo curled his mouth and replied pretending to be angry: "Senior aunt likes to tease me." As he spoke, he moved a stool and placed it beside Xiao Xinyi.

Xiao Xinyi sat on the stool and said, "Although I am fat, I am more smart." ”

Ling Mo tilted his head back and said, "I'll smash the walnuts for my sister." ”

Xiao Xinyi smiled and didn't speak, his eyes fell on Su Yuexian's lower abdomen and asked softly, "Senior sister, it's been a few months." He looked cautious, as if he was afraid of disturbing the fetus in Su Yuexian's womb.

"It's been less than four months." Su Yuexian replied with a shy face.

"Can I touch it?" Xiao Xinyi looked at Su Yuexian and then at her slightly bulging lower abdomen.

"Absolutely." Su Yuexian took Xiao Xinyi's hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen.

Xiao Xinyi didn't dare to push too hard, only stroked it lightly with his hand, and then said happily: "I haven't congratulated my senior sister on becoming a mother yet." ”

Su Yuexian smiled sweetly when she heard this, looked at Zhong Yuan and then leaned on Xiao Xinyi's ear and whispered, "Senior brother said that I may be pregnant with twins this time. ”

Xiao Xinyi's expression of surprise at first was immediately occupied by ecstasy, and he looked at Su Yuexian and said happily, "Really? Great, senior sister. ”

Su Yuexian nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother said it, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

Xiao Xinyi turned his head to look at Zhong Yuan, Zhong Yuan's always cold face also had a smile, and said to Xiao Xinyi: "It's true." ”

But Xiao Xinyi not only saw the smile on his face, but also saw his heart.

Xiao Xinyi has been by Zhong Yuan's side since he was six years old, Zhong Yuan's temperament she knows very well, if Zhong Yuan has a smile on his face, it means that he is happy now, but if he has something on his face, then this matter must be extraordinary.

The joy on Xiao Xinyi's face gradually faded, seeing that Zhong Yuan didn't speak, Zhong Yuan also saw the change on her face, took the "floating life" in his hand and walked to the side of the stone table and said, "The third brother and Lan Yun came here a few days ago. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xinyi got up and saluted Zhong Yuan and said, "Senior brother, I am also responsible for this matter, it is I who did not take good care of Lan Yun, and I will come back this time and let my senior brother punish me." ”

Zhong Yuan picked up a cup of osmanthus tea on the stone table and tested the water temperature, then walked up to Su Yuexian and handed it to Su Yuexian and said: "Why should I punish you, the third brother and Lan Yun are in love, you and I know the third brother's conduct, Lan Yun can be regarded as having found a good home, and it is too late for me to be happy for her as a master." ”

While speaking, Su Yuexian had already drunk the osmanthus tea, Zhong Yuan took the teacup and put it on the stone table, and then sat aside and looked at Xiao Xinyi.

"Yes, senior brother." Xiao Xinyi hadn't come out of the cabinet yet, and she couldn't say some words, so she just answered in a low voice.

Seeing this, Su Yuexian pulled Xiao Xinyi's hand and asked her to sit beside her again and said, "Haitang, Yun Gongzi and Lan Yun will get married in two months, this is a happy event." ”

"Yes, senior sister, the third brother and Lan Yun will definitely raise their eyebrows together, just like the senior sister and the senior brother."

Su Yuexian's originally fair face showed a faint flush after hearing Xiao Xinyi's words, and after secretly glancing at Zhong Yuan, she looked at Xiao Xinyi with disgust and said, "I just said that we don't know what happened to you and Zhuge Gongzi." ”

This time it was Xiao Xinyi's turn to blush, and he couldn't speak. Seeing this, Su Yuexian looked clear, and no longer asked her this question, but just stuffed a handful of walnuts that Ling Mo had just smashed into Xiao Xinyi's hand, and asked her what she had seen and heard under the mountain these days. Xiao Xinyi only talked to her about the customs of Yongcheng, and did not tell her about these changes in the outside world, Zhong Yuan listened quietly on the side, Ling Mo interjected a sentence from time to time, and an hour passed in a blink of an eye.

Zhong Yuan looked up at the sky and said, "Senior sister has been out for a while, it's time to go back to sleep." As he spoke, he got up and walked up to Su Yuexian, picked her up horizontally, and walked indoors.

Ling Mo and Xiao Xinyi waited outside and didn't follow up, and when they couldn't see Zhong Yuan and Su Yuexian, Xiao Xinyi's face suddenly sank, and asked Ling Mo, who was silently cleaning up the walnut skin on the side, and said, "Lingmo, what's wrong with senior sister." ”

From the first time she saw Su Yuexian, Xiao Xinyi could see her abnormality, even if she was pregnant, her face would not be so decadent, let alone that she couldn't even walk. She seemed to be chatting with them casually, but in fact, she was already anxious in her heart.

Ling Mo was stunned when he heard this, raised his head and two lines of tears fell from his eyes, and replied while sobbing: "Senior aunt, I don't know, the master doesn't tell me, I only know that the master is very bad, I have seen the master secretly drinking several times, and the master ancestor will not let the master deal with the affairs of the door, only let him concentrate on accompanying the master." ”

Xiao Xinyi looked at Ling Mo in shock, and the sentence was very bad all the time circling in his mind. The disciples of Su Yuexian knew that she had an old illness, but under the care of Sima Zhengqing and Zhong Yuan, it was all right, could it be because she was pregnant and caused the recurrence of the old illness.

Xiao Xinyi was stunned and didn't know how long it took, until Zhong Yuan gently closed the door and walked to her side, she came back to her senses and looked at Zhong Yuan and said, "Senior brother, tell me, what's wrong with senior sister." ”

Zhong Yuan glanced at Xiao Xinyi and replied, "You come with me to the medicine house." ”

After speaking, he walked out of the courtyard first.

Xiao Xinyi turned back to Ling Mo and said, "You are here to take care of your senior sister, if there is anything wrong, go to the medicine house to find us quickly." ”

Ling Mo replied in a deep voice: "Yes, Senior Aunt." ”

Xiao Xinyi saw that Ling Mo agreed, so he hurried after Zhong Yuan's back.

As the name suggests, the medicine house is a place where medicinal materials are stored, and Xiao Xinyi has stayed here for most of the ten years, and he is extremely familiar with every table and chair here. Zhong Yuan was sitting upright on the circle chair behind the desk in the medicine house, without a trace of expression on his cold face.

Xiao Xinyi walked three steps away from the desk and said to Zhong Yuan: "Senior brother, what's wrong with senior sister, can you tell me now?" ”

Zhong Yuan glanced at Xiao Xinyi, then his gaze fell on a camphor tree outside the medicine house and said, "Xin'er, do you know Senior Sister Su's mother, Luo Nieyu, senior?" ”

Xiao Xinyi thought for a while and replied: "I've heard a little, I once heard the second brother mention it." ”

"Do you know how the predecessor of Luo Neyu passed away?"

Xiao Xinyi thought for a while and said, "Second brother didn't say this to me. ”

Zhong Yuan let out a long sigh and said: "Luo Neyu's predecessor was injured by his own weapon, and he passed away not long after, Senior Sister Su was sleeping in the side room at the time, and she was also injured, Master and I tried our best to save her life, although she has often been sick over the years, it is not life-threatening, and now that she is pregnant, some medicines can no longer be used, so her old illness may recur at any time." ”

After listening to Zhong Yuan's words, Xiao Xinyi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, with Zhong Yuan's medical skills, he should have known that there would be this result before marrying Su Yuexian, so why did he marry Su Yuexian, if Su Yuexian was not pregnant or waited for her body to fully recover before getting married, would the old disease not recur.

"Why, you know this will be the result, why do you still marry her, why do you still want her to get pregnant."

Since he was a child, Xiao Xinyi has never spoken out loud to Zhong Yuan, in Xiao Xinyi's heart, Zhong Yuan is an existence like fireworks that does not eat the world, has no desires, has no desires, has few desires, and is like an immortal who does not belong to this earthly world.

But at this moment, Xiao Xinyi felt that Zhong Yuan was so strange, as if she had never known him in the past ten years. The light on his body was fading little by little in Xiao Xinyi's eyes, until it disappeared.

"Xin'er, I'm sorry for Senior Sister Su, but even if I don't marry her, she is not pregnant, and she will not live to be thirty years old in this life." Zhong Yuan said this seemingly calmly, but the hands hidden in his sleeves were already clenched into fists.

Marrying Su Yuexian is not what he wants, don't say that he can't live to be thirty years old, even if he can let Su Yuexian live one more day, Zhong Yuan will not choose to marry her, but the teacher's fate is difficult to disobey, Sima Zhengqing has made up his mind, Zhong Yuan can only obey his orders.
