As soon as Li Songran left, Nangong Jin received news from Zheng Shu, saying that Du Ling was unwilling to come to Jingzhou and had sent someone to send him back to Pingyang Medical Center. Then, Nangong Pu hurried over, saying that there was something important in Pingyang and asked Nangong Jin to go back immediately.

Nangong Jin still thought that her mother and eldest sister were too tired to go back and forth, and she was even more worried that the eldest sister would return to Pingyang, and it would not be good if she was not allowed to come out again. After all, everything about the Sword Dance is entirely designed by her, and if she is not there, it will be very troublesome to find someone again.

As a result, Nangong Pu didn't say a word, even Zhou Tang and Nangong Wan's carriages were ready, and they drove everyone away before they had time to pack their luggage. scared Zhao Fengming, and thought that something big had happened in Pingyang.

Along the way, Nangong Pu directly asked Nangong Jin to go first, not to delay, and to take his female dependents with him. This request made Nangong Jin scratch her head, seeing that Nangong Pu's face was full of seriousness, it was not good to disobey the will of the eldest brother, so she had to take the lead and rush to Pingyang.

Nangong Jin entered the city from the south gate, and had to pass through the bustling streets of Pingyang City, although he rode a horse, he couldn't walk fast. Before I arrived at the door of the house, I saw Zhang Huili Zhang of Pingyang Mansion looking at the intersection from a distance.

When Zhang Huili saw him, he was obviously relieved, and took a few steps to catch up, with a smile on his face, "The second son has finally arrived." ”

"Lord Zhang? How is it here? Nangong Jin hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile: "My eldest brother is still behind, let me go into the city, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Zhang Huili opened his mouth and smiled: "A good thing, definitely a great thing." The second son has arrived, and I should go back to prepare. He hurriedly bowed his hand and said goodbye and left.

Nangong Jin was inexplicable, could it be that the marriage proposal was completed? But this requires Nanhai to agree to withdraw from the marriage first, can it be said that Nanhai's marriage has been withdrawn? Thinking of this, my heart swelled with reluctance. Hurriedly smiled, suppressing the emotion.

"Young master, young master, you're back." Baxi didn't know how long he waited at the door, and when he saw Nangong Jin arrive, he hurriedly rushed out, "You didn't take me with you this time, and there was no one to serve the young master." Baxi's voice was full of grievances, and he wanted to take the luggage, but Nangong Jin didn't bring any luggage at all.

Nangong Jin gave the horse to the servant who greeted him, and said to Baxi: "Isn't your mother going to change you for an errand?" ”

"No!" Baxi said unhappily, "I said a long time ago that I would follow the young master in this life, and I won't change any errands." Master, you can't help but be happy. ”

Nangong Jin was laughed at by him, and when he entered the door, Baxi followed behind him and kept talking about the big and small things that had happened these days. What Fenzhou Wang's family came to make trouble again, but fortunately, the eldest lady was not at home; The eldest young master is very busy and often does not go home; The two young masters, both of whom live in the academy, don't go home much. But as soon as I come back, I will come to the West Courtyard first, and then return to Fenghuayuan after playing for a while. Baxi chattered, but Nangong Jin didn't listen carefully.

Actually, the owner of the West Courtyard is not there, and there is nothing wrong. However, the big thing Baxi said was that he went to Lingyufang the day before yesterday and saw Du Ling come back. Nangong Jin sent him to the West Courtyard to wait, and went to Nangong Dingkang's study by himself.

Nangong Dingkang was not surprised to see him come in, and nodded, "I'm back." ”

"The eldest brother is in a hurry, and he didn't say what happened?" Nangong Jin still doesn't know why.

Nangong Dingkang was helpless, "Your eldest brother and Lord Zhang have always had a good relationship, but this time it was Lord Zhang who urged you to come back, saying that it was Tianchengwei's official government that wanted to reward you." ”

"Huh?" It's not a family affair, Nangong Jin felt a little lost in her heart. The matter of Tianchengwei, Zheng Shu mentioned it. However, Nangong Jin didn't look forward to it, unless he gave silver, "What do you say?" ”

"What more do you want to win?" Nangong Dingkang laughed when he asked.

"Silver?" Nangong Jin has never been awarded, and has always felt that the reward should be indispensable to silver.

Nangong Dingkang said with a smile: "Not necessarily, sometimes it is silk satin, and sometimes it may be a plaque." Silver, if there is, it won't be too much, a few hundred taels, definitely not a thousand. ”

"Huh?" Nangong Jin lost interest in an instant, "What's the use of this?" "I remember that the soldiers of Tianchengwei said that a head is ten taels of silver, and if it is a commander, there are also one hundred taels. At that time, I still thought, wouldn't the 50,000 army be at least 500,000 taels of silver?

"Anyway, it's all given by the government. When the things arrive, you just take them. "Nangong Dingyasu doesn't care about this, he can't even use the things given by the emperor, he can only offer them, and he won't have them. No matter what it was, knowing that it was his son who bought it for his life, he was a little mindful in his heart.

Nangong Jin heard the attitude in Nangong Dingkang's words, and he didn't plan to take it seriously, so he said casually: "My mother and eldest sister are behind." Oh, I heard that Du Ling is back, if there is nothing else, I'll go see him first. ”

Nangong Dingkang also felt that Nangong Pu was too fussed, and nodded, "Don't run away, it is estimated that the government will come to send things in a while, and I want you to collect it personally." ”

**********

The Du Family Medical Hall in Lingyufang is obviously back, and the door is still closed. Nangong Jin walked here and pushed the door open directly, but fortunately the door was not locked.

There was no one else in the medical hall, and Du Ling was decocting medicine, but he didn't seem to have much strength in his hands, and he didn't pick up the medicine jar several times. Nangong Jin stepped forward to help him pour the medicine, and asked as he poured, "Why are you the only one?" What about those subordinates, fellows? ”

When Du Ling saw that it was him, he became happy, "You're back!" That day, Baxi said that you were in Jingzhou, and I thought you wouldn't come back so soon. Oh, yes, isn't it money...... Tell you that I'm back to Pingyang, and you're rushing back? ”

"Thinking too much." Nangong Jin poured the medicine, put the jar aside, and asked angrily: "Calling you to Jingzhou, why did you go back to Pingyang?" Then he pointed to the medicine, "For whom is this?" ”

"If you ask so many questions at once, which one shall I answer you?" Du Ling frowned, thought about it and started from the first one, "I haven't been here for so long, and I told everyone when I left that if I don't come back for half a month, I will enlarge the vacation." I haven't been back in such a long time, they probably can't wait to work elsewhere. After all, I don't have a business, and I don't have a salary, right? ”

looked at Nangong Jin and saw that he didn't react, and then answered the second question, "I went back to Pingyang because I had what I wanted here, and there was nothing in Jingzhou." Besides, this medical center is mine, Jingzhou is someone's home, and if you want to recuperate, you should always go back to your own home, right? ”

Nangong Jin was stunned, "What did you say?" Who was hurt? You? ”

Du Ling lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, nodded tangledly, "It's already getting better, it's okay." ”

"What's going on? Where's the injury? Nangong Jin wanted to pull him to sit down. Du Ling was pulled down by him and didn't stand firm, and Nangong Jin hurriedly supported him.

"You—don't be so strong. The muscles and veins in my hands and feet are injured, and I still can't use my strength. Du Ling's words were full of grievances.

Nangong Jin directly helped him sit down on the side, rolled up his sleeves, his hands and wrists had been wrapped with medicine, and in addition to shoes and socks when he squatted, the same was true for his ankles, which was already a practice of breaking his hands and foot tendons. Nangong Jin's heart was on fire, "Who did it?!" ”

Du Ling shrank his hands and feet, and whispered, "This, can you leave this alone?" ”

"People want to mutilate you, and you still tell me to leave it alone?! Who? Nangong Jin glared at him.

Du Ling didn't dare to look at him, half aggrieved and half afraid, and said, "Yes, it's my own ......." ”

"Yourself? Can you do this with both hands yourself? Nangong Jin became even more popular, "Is it Boss Qian?" ”

"No, no, no." Du Ling hurriedly shook his head, "I'm in the capital or he sent someone to take care of me." ”

Nangong Jin looked at his eyes and asked solemnly, "In the palace?" ”

Du Ling lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, let alone answer.

"Du Ling, you clearly told me last time that the matter is over. Now that it's over, why does she want to you like this?! Nangong Jin was even more angry, "The princess is amazing?" Well, I'll let her pay for it! ”

"Don't, it's not her, it's really good." Du Ling got up in a hurry, took Nangong Jin's hand hard, and saw Nangong Jin's face of disbelief, "It's really not." Yes, it was a man named Wanshou Dao, and he asked me to choose by myself, whether to break my tendons or hurt my sons, so I chose it. The more Du Ling spoke, the softer he became, afraid that he would not believe him, but he still pulled him and didn't dare to look at him.

Nangong Jin was shocked again, I don't know who Wanshou Daoist is, but there is a person named Wanshou Daojun in the palace, but he is the current saint. After a while, Nangong Jin calmed down, "Do you want to drink medicine?" ”

Du Ling nodded aggrievedly.

Nangong Jin sighed slightly, and brought the medicine over, afraid that he would not be able to hold it steadily. When he finished drinking, he looked at him a little sad and said, "In the future, if it keeps being like this, I will take care of you, don't worry." After a while, you and I will go back to the West Courtyard, and it will be more convenient to have someone to serve. ”

"It won't be like this forever, I've seen it, it's not really broken hand and foot tendons, it's just that the injury is serious, and it will take time to take care of it, and then I'll treat it myself." Now it's much better than before, and I can walk and move. Du Ling looked at Nangong Jin pitifully, "I don't want to live in your house, I want to live here." ”

Nangong Jin was helpless, "Then I'll let Baxi come over." I'll be in Binh Duong in the next few days, and I'll come if it's okay. I'll go back to Jingzhou in a few days, I think it's better for you to go to Jingzhou, I'm not at ease here. ”

"I told Hao'er that I would wait for her in Binh Duong. Your dad will take care of me, I'm not worried. Du Ling smiled, "Also, don't tell my senior brother and them, otherwise they will ask me to go back to Zhuangjiabao." I'm not going back, I'm going to wait here. Du Ling's smile actually had a taste of happiness in it.

"Du Ling, Princess Zhaoyang won't go out of Beijing, let alone come to Pingyang." Nangong Jin didn't want to hit him, but this was the truth, and Du Ling had to face reality.

Du Ling still smiled, "Okay, you're all right." That's what I said, but it's clearly perfunctory.

Nangong Jin looked at him and sighed, "Don't talk about anything else, now you sit down well and don't move." I'm going to get some food and food, and I'll leave it all there when I come back and clean it up. Got it? ”

Du Ling looked at him with a smile and nodded.
