It's getting hotter, but fortunately, Binh Duong isn't hot even in summer. Nangong Jin leaned in the car, looking at the street scene through the gap in the bamboo curtain of the car window, looking calm.

Enter the city gate, turn a few markets, and then there are patches of white walls. The last time I came to Binh Duong, it was half a year ago, I was so stupid that I didn't dare to approach the mansion in the east of the city, even if I stood at the door of my house, I was afraid that no one would care. …… Perhaps, perhaps, motherhood?

From Yanzhou to Pingyang, Nangong Jin didn't know how many days it took, and according to Du Ling's words, there were not many times when he was sober. However, Nangong Jin has always been very proud of his recovery ability, he was injured several times back then, if he hadn't recovered quickly, he would have died long ago. Therefore, he has been awake for far more time than Du Ling knows, but he can't wake up.

In the past few days, my father has been here three times, and each time Du Ling told him that he was asleep, and then he sat like this, sometimes for half an hour, sometimes for several hours. I don't know what he's thinking, or if he knows he's not asleep. In short, when he is sober, he will definitely not appear in front of him.

Also, mother, as long as she is awake, she will be very happy, tell some jokes and things about her childhood, and make a lot of underwear with her own hands, the material is very good, needlework, as always, not very good. However, no one has done this for me for many years, and even if it is a mother, it is still a little embarrassing. My mother said that before the eldest brother got married, she made it inside and out. However, as long as she is asleep, she can always be heard crying quietly. I once heard her choke up and say, "Jin'er, no matter what happens, my mother will be with you." ”

It's just that the two of them never come together.

When home is close, you can see the pair of stone lions at the door, and I even climbed when I was a child.

Since Du Ling woke him up, he sat quietly on the side, just glancing at him from time to time, and when he was about to arrive, he finally couldn't help but say, "It seems to be almost there, hehe, your family is very big." Seeing that Nangong Jin was still looking out of the window, he didn't care. He continued: "After entering the door for a while, don't go by yourself. Listen to your mother, from the gate to the yard where you live, it's a long way. ”

Soon, the car stopped, and Nangong Jin still didn't respond. Bi Yang got out of the back car, put the stool, and whispered into the car, "Second young master, it's here." After speaking, Hou respectfully stood aside.

At the door, Nangong Pu and Li Songran greeted them with their servants. Nangong Dingkang and his wife walked into the door one after the other, and when they walked past Nangong Pu's side, Zhou Tang whispered: "Ah Jin is seriously injured, he doesn't want people to know, just pretend to be okay in front of everyone." ”

"Got it, mother."

Du Ling hurriedly got out of the car, didn't pay attention to Biyang, who had been trying to reach out to help Nangong Jin, turned around and grabbed Nangong Jin, who got out of the car, and whispered in his ear, "Don't get excited, you promised." Nangong Jin nodded slightly, walked to the stone lion, stretched out his hand and touched it, turned his head to see Nangong Pu who had reached the steps, smiled and walked a few steps to meet him.

"Ah Jin!" Nangong Pu stretched out his hand, a little emotional.

Nangong Jin held his hand and shouted, "Big brother." ”

Hearing this "big brother", Nangong Pu's eyes were moist, and he pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly, patting him, "In the future, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to leave!" Suddenly realizing that something was wrong, Nangong Jin's body seemed to twitch, and then trembled slightly. Nangong Pu hurriedly let go, but Nangong Jin didn't let go immediately.

After a while, the brothers looked at each other and smiled. Nangong Pu saw that his complexion was extremely bad, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, so he inadvertently pulled up his arm, and said as he walked: "Let's go to the West Courtyard first, and you can see if there is anything dissatisfied with the eldest brother." Oh, the main entrance to the main house and the west courtyard are quite far away, I arranged a sedan chair. Dad and mother are also tired, so let's save effort if you can. As he spoke, he entered the door, and after shining on the wall, three small sedan chairs stopped.

Nangong Dingkang and his wife did not get on the sedan chair, and when they saw the two brothers coming in, Nangong Dingkang nodded to Nangong Pu and motioned for Zhou Tang to get on the sedan chair.

Nangong Pu smiled at Nangong Dingkang and said to Nangong Jin: "Come, get on the sedan chair, and settle down today." We'll take a good look tomorrow and see if you remember the way. ”

Nangong Jin smiled and got into the sedan chair, but did not refuse.

After seeing the sedan chair walking away, Nangong Pu hurriedly walked in front of Nangong Dingkang and his wife: "Ah Jin is seriously injured? I also just arrived home, and I haven't had time to say anything. ”

Zhou Tang hurriedly asked, "Is the West Courtyard ready?" ”

Li Songran said: "I'll prepare it when I come back, there should be no problem, and my sister-in-law has been helping." Those people in Rising Sun Village haven't left yet, thinking that I lied to them, and I have to wait for my uncle to be in the front hall. ”

"Hmph." Nangong Dingkang said indifferently: "Songran, let people bring a letter to Rising Sun Village, inform their parents to come and collect people, don't leave today, and serve the family law." ”

"Yes."

"And, Pu." Zhou Tang instructed: "You must take good care of Ah Jin." For dinner, if Ah Jin can hold on, we will set up a table in the west courtyard, just a few of us, as early as possible. Xue Ying, Ah Jin doesn't know each other, so I won't introduce it for the time being; Xiaowan here, don't notify yet. ”

"Mother, if Ah Jin is not in a good condition, it is better to rest early."

Zhou Tang sighed and shook his head, "With his temper, he will definitely hold on." We can't make him feel like he's not welcome at home. Dr. Xiao Du was also arranged in the West Courtyard, trying to lean against Ah Jin's room. ”

"Good. Father, mother, I'll go first. After saying that, he hurriedly chased the sedan chair.

**********

The sedan chair is far less stable than the carriage, and even if the sedan chair driver tries hard, he can't help but bump. I knew that the wound would hurt and couldn't help it, so I might as well walk.

The entrance of the West Courtyard. finally stopped the sedan car, and when he heard Nangong Pu calling him outside the sedan car, he almost had no strength to get off the sedan car. Nangong Pu opened the sedan curtain and stretched out his hand to help him, but seeing Nangong Jin's appearance in a cold sweat, Nangong Pu was still startled.

"Why don't you shout to stop the car if you're uncomfortable?" Nangong Pu supported him, a little reproachful, and even a little sad.

Nangong Jinqiang smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

"This is the tuyere, it's easy to catch a cold, let's go into the house quickly."

Nangong Jin lowered his head, let Nangong Pu support him, took a breath and whispered, "Big brother, I think, I want to stand for a while......." Let them all step down. ”

Nangong Pu motioned for the sedan chair man to retreat, waved his hand to the servants who were standing at the gate of the west courtyard to greet him, and then gently half-hugged him to block the wind for him. After a while, he asked softly, "Are you better?" ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "It's okay." ”

The door of the west courtyard opened, a green lawn, dotted with wild flowers, a small lotus pond, planted with a few lotus plants, and a low rockery on the side.

Nangong Jin looked at it blankly for a while, and suddenly smiled, "You still haven't planted trees." ”

"There is no tree yard, hehe, who dares to plant trees in it without your consent."

"No Tree Courtyard...... how could I have such a name." Nangong Jin said with some self-deprecation.

"Haha, at least straightforwardly. At the beginning, you refused to plant trees, and you still watered the original trees every day, and I don't know why you don't like trees. ”

"Hey, haven't you heard the story of Grandma Shu?" Nangong Jin looked back at Nangong Pu.

"What tree?"

"At night, the trees turn into tree grandmothers and walk around the yard ......."

Nangong Pu laughed, "It must be Mother Fu, eighty percent of you refuse to sleep at night and use it to coax you." ”

Nangong Jin strode into the courtyard gate and walked directly towards the rockery. Nangong Pu was a little worried, but he never left him. Nangong Jin put her hand into a small hole in the rockery, scooped it, and really took out a wooden box. It's just that the wooden box is a little rotten, and when it is opened, there is a slingshot and dozens of iron marbles inside.

"Ha, it's still there." Nangong Jin happily took out the slingshot and said to Nangong Pu: "This took me several days to make, with these iron marbles, it is very powerful." ”

"Where did the iron marbles come from?"

"The blacksmith is coming, and I pulled the bellows for several days to give it."

"You're going to pull the bellows?" Nangong Pu was a little surprised.

"Do you know how many people were envious at the time? We use it to shoot birds, and we don't miss a shot. Nangong Jin thought of that time, and felt a little proud.

"Why did you hide it here?"

"What should I do if you find out in the room?" After being silent for a while, he said with some sadness: "I didn't expect it to be still there." ”

Nangong Pu took the wooden box and said with a smile: "I will change the box in a while and use it as an heirloom for you." Go to your room and see if there's anything else hidden and I haven't found out. ”

The main room of the west courtyard, the entrance is the front hall, and the right side is the bedroom. Although the antechamber is not a study, there is a desk under the window.

"How?" Nangong Pu asked with a smile.

Nangong Jin looked at it carefully for a while, "I thought the room would be bigger." ”

"Haha, you were so tall back then." said and compared his waist, "Now it's the same as the big brother." ”

Nangong Jin walked to the desk, and there was a table of rice paper spread out on the table, and there were many words written, and one of them was half written. Nangong Jin sat down, looked at his childhood handwriting, and found that the ink in the inkstone had not yet dried, so he picked up the brush that was set aside and continued to write on the half-written paper.

Nangong Pu walked up to him. Listening to Nangong Jin whispering: "There are a hundred big characters a day, and I only wrote forty that day, and I wanted to continue to ...... at night." ”

After a while, Nangong Pu said: "My mother comes almost every day, sitting here to polish ink, she said, you haven't finished writing yet." ”

Nangong Jin smiled and said, "Okay, I'll finish writing today." ”

"Then you should be serious, and I will check it later." Nangong Pu said something that he often said back then.

"Got it, brother." Nangong Jin's answer was as smooth as eighteen years ago.

Nangong Pu looked at his back, a little sad, and hurriedly said: "I'll let the kitchen put the evening banquet for you here, father, mother, me, and Songran, our family will get together first, and there will be no outsiders." ”

"Okay." Nangong Jin wrote carefully and did not look up.
