Chapter 16: The Little Sister of the Du Family
"Little sister, you're finally back, big brother, I'm about to miss you, do you miss me......" Du Gou was so happy when he saw Du Xiaomei for the first time that he screamed on the spot, completely forgetting that there were other people in the house.
But Du Xiaomei didn't pay attention to him, just made a cold face and rolled her eyes at him ruthlessly: "Hehe......"
Du Gou has always loved to bully her, so Du Xiaomei doesn't believe his nonsense at all.
However, Du Gou didn't care about this, but was in a good mood instantly, and the smile on his face was like a sunflower, with a burst of chrysanthemum smell.
Li Yi also followed, almost subconsciously reached out and rubbed Du Xiaomei's little head, and said with a happy smile, "Little sister, I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a year, and now you have grown so tall and become more beautiful......
Li Yi vaguely remembered in his heart that a year ago, the twelve-year-old Du Xiaomei was still a little small.
At that time, the Du family sent her to the monastery to practice.
On the one hand, it was she who took the initiative to ask Ying and wanted to go to the Taoist Academy to repair Du Ruhui's illness, but on the other hand, Mrs. Du also had this intention in her heart, so she both became convinced.
Looking back now, Li Yi and Du Xiaomei have not seen each other for a whole year.
But now that he saw Du Xiaomei again, Li Yi suddenly found that this little girl had changed, not only became more and more beautiful and cute, slim and graceful like a lotus, but even her height was about to reach the height of Li Yi's chest.
Li Yi had to sigh in his heart: "Sure enough, it is the eighteenth change of the female university, and the ancestor never!" ”
"Hee-hee, third brother!" Although Du Xiaomei has always been ignorant of Du Gou, she already has a good impression of Li Yi, so she grinned at Li Yi.
And Li Yi couldn't help but praise her for being beautiful, and seeing that Li Yi was still as before, she loved to reach out and touch her head, and Du Xiaomei moved her head very happily.
Moreover, she also heard that it was Li Yi who woke up her father, so she was extremely happy.
"Little sister is so good!" Li Yi withdrew his hand and came back, with a smile on his face, then glanced at Du Gou not far away, shook his head deeply and sighed, "Look at that second dog, there is no politeness at all!" ”
Du Xiaomei nodded and pouted thoughtfully, "Well, that guy has always been like this!" ”
"......" Du Gou stumbled and almost fell.
Hey, third brother, where did Lao Tzu recruit you to provoke you?
Along the way, since I collapsed out of the study, I haven't even told you half a word, okay, and I'll lie down if I'm silent?!
And little sister, brother knows that although you hate me, you won't be angry with the third brother!
The corners of Du Gou's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a feeling of lovelessness in an instant.
At this time, Du Gou's second brother, Du He, also nodded as if he didn't understand.
Du Gou's heart was as cold as water in an instant, and he felt more and more that people's hearts were sinister and the world was desolate......
Inside the house, seeing that Li Yi and the children of the Du family were so harmonious, everyone in the Du family, including Li Jing, had a smile on their faces at this time.
And Mrs. Du looked at Du Xiaomei, and then at Li Yi, her eyes were slightly glowing, and she became more and more determined in her thoughts, and nodded secretly, "It seems that I have to quickly find an opportunity to discuss my little sister's marriage with the master......
At this time, Du Chuke suddenly spoke, interrupting everyone's frolicking with a smile, "Bo'an, has the medicine prescription been written?" ”
For a while, but seeing the eyes of everyone in the house, Du Gou lowered his head and said nothing, and the corners of his mouth pursed to show displeasure.
Du Xiaomei stood very obediently to the side, snickering in her heart.
It's just that her eyes are secretly cast at Li Yi from time to time, with affectionate eyebrows and peach blossoms on her face......
"Okay, second uncle."
Li Yi strode into the ward, bowed to everyone, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Madam, second uncle, this prescription is received by the teacher, specializing in the treatment of tuberculosis, Uncle Du takes this medicine, and he can get rid of the disease after a few months of recuperation." ”
"Good! If you need help in the future, you kid just come to the old man! Du Chuke nodded with satisfaction, took the medicine list in Li Yi's hand, glanced at it, and then instructed his subordinates to grab the medicine according to the list.
Although before, he really didn't believe that Li Yi had this ability, but who knows...... Li Yi insisted on pulling Du Ruhui back from the ghost gate.
At this time, he did not doubt the authenticity of Li Yi's prescription at all.
"What the second uncle said, this is what San Lang should do!" Li Yi smiled slightly, his face full of spring breeze.
Subsequently, Li Yi and his son stayed in the Du Mansion and had a simple dinner with the Du family before leaving the Du Mansion.
It's just that on the way home, although Li Jing didn't say anything, Li Yi always felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
It wasn't until he arrived at Shangshu Mansion that Li Yi's heart felt a little more comfortable.
"Master, childe, I'm back." As soon as they saw Li Yi's father and son coming back, some of them ran quickly to report to the Red Whisk Girl, and everyone in Shangshu Mansion was full of doubts at the moment.
"Du Xiang's illness, I don't know if it has been cured?"
"No, I didn't ...... it's not cured."
"Hey, if that's the case, it's a pity for a good official......"
"I'm afraid, the master is going to die of sadness......"
Although everyone in the house was puzzled, they didn't dare to ask more, just looking at Li Jing's unhappy face, everyone secretly guessed in their hearts that looking at this situation, most of them should not be cured......
As for the doubts in their hearts, there is no one to answer them for the time being.
Li Jing glanced at Li Yi behind him, and called out with a slight groan, "San Lang, follow me to the study!" ”
"Oh......" Although Li Yi didn't understand why, he had to bow his head and follow Li Jing and go to the direction of the study together.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the air was slightly dull.
Just as the door of the study had just opened, the red whisk girl appeared in front of the father and son, and suddenly, Li Yi seemed to see a savior, and immediately cast a look at the red whisk girl for help.
"Master, what's wrong?" The red-whisked woman's cheeks were a little stunned, and she glanced at Li Yi, then looked at Li Jing.
However, this time, Li Jing seemed to have changed as a person, and did not compromise and retreat as before, but glanced at the red whisk girl with a straight face, "Don't worry, Chen'er, Keming is no longer in the way, I have something to say with San Lang, and I won't scold him." ”
At the same time, Li Jing also glanced at Li Yi, his little eyes were a little weird, which made Li Yi inexplicable for a while.
"Uh, yes sir." Hearing the news, and seeing Li Jing so solemn, the red whisk girl finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and smiled slightly, "The concubine is here to make a cup of tea." ”
"Hmm." Li Jing nodded, and then after the red whisk girl turned to leave, Li Jing shouted, "San Lang, come in." ”
"Yes, Father." Li Yi nodded and entered Li Jing's study.
At this moment, there are only father and son in the house.
"San Lang." After Li Jing sat down, he looked at Li Yi and suddenly asked, "Do you want to be an official in the court?" ”
