Chapter 67: A Moment of Gold

I haven't seen my eldest brother for many days since I was punished in the ancestral hall that day.

I heard that he refused Dr. Sun's treatment and called another doctor in the town. He also refused to stop his errands outside and recuperate in his yard. He was more diligent than before in his errands outside, and more taciturn than before, and in addition to running errands, except for greetings to his parents every morning and evening, he hid in his yard as soon as he entered the inner house, unlike before, he walked with the wind, as if he was always there.

After the incident in the ancestral hall, my aunt's attitude towards my father was more deferential, and she didn't say anything to me, and her daily life was the same as before. My aunt also brought nourishing things several times to visit you in the yard and apologized for Jingyun's behavior many times. However, I always vaguely felt that my aunt and I had already had a little bit of mustard before. She was a little more polite to me and a little less intimate. However, it's just a feeling. If you want to list any specific changes, I really can't say. Jing Yun's ridicule often echoes in my heart: "After all, it's not biological." No matter how nice you are to her, she will never talk to you. "It made me feel very uncomfortable. I have a vague feeling that I will not be able to stay in this house for too long.

In a gloomy and dreary life, the only thing that makes you happy is that you are getting better day by day.

After five or six days of bedridden recuperation under the careful care of Dr. Sun and the personal company of my father, your condition has improved a lot, except for the poor spirit, weakness and tiredness, all other symptoms have disappeared, especially the unbearable severe headache. On the seventh day, Fu Tianliang came from the barracks to see you, and you were able to sit up to receive him and talk to him. After Fu Tianliang left, after another four or five days, you have almost recovered and recovered, and you can get up and move freely. Once you've regained your freedom of movement, you want to go back to the barracks right away. However, both my father and Dr. Sun firmly disagreed. Dr. Sun repeatedly asked you to stay at home on bed rest for at least six or seven days, and you must be very careful not to cause another head injury, if you repeat the injury, even if it is only a minor injury, the consequences will be very serious, and it may form permanent brain damage, affecting limb or nerve function. They also don't approve of anything that requires a lot of mental activity, reading books, playing chess, and planning things, all of which are forbidden. Father specially instructed Wu Shun and the people in your courtyard to watch over you closely. They faithfully carried out your father's request, strictly confined your range of motion to the yard, and tried to persuade you to stay in bed.

In those days, every morning when you get up, after you have breakfast, walk around the yard for a while, Wu Shun and the little maid in your yard will come over and persuade you to go back to bed and sleep. If you don't agree, they use the wheel tactics and persistently persuade you until you have no choice but to go back to bed. This lie will have to lie down until lunchtime before you are allowed to get up. After lunch, Wu Shun or other servants will accompany you to the courtyard for a walk, and then use the wheel warfare technique to persuade you to go to bed again. After dinner, as soon as it was dark, Wu Shun brought someone over to serve you to wash up, so that you could go to bed early and go to bed again. It's useless for you to protest, you can only fall asleep in depression. Plenty of rest brings immediate results. Your face is flushed, and your sunken cheeks are plump again. That vibrant glow is back on your face and in your eyes. You now look as healthy and energetic as you did when you first returned from Cheongcheon.

In those days, I would go to your yard every day to see you.

When I went to see you one morning, I saw that you were with Wu Shun Mushroom, and you begged Wu Shunyang: "Master, I really can't sleep." You can't always push me like that, you have to keep me awake all day long! And Wu Shun replied unwaveringly: "Doctor Sun said, if you can't sleep, you can close your eyes and recuperate." Anyway, you are not allowed to lie down. You say, "It's tiring to lie down!" Didn't you listen to Brother Fu? The gunpowder ordered by the Han King has been transported one after another. I have to go back, there's a lot to deal with. At the very least, you'll have to ask me to write a few letters. Wu Shun pressed you down on the bed without saying a word, picked up the quilt and covered you, and said firmly: "Sleep!" Writing takes a lot of brains, the doctor said, don't even think about it. You looked at Wu Shun and sighed, "What's the difference between this and hibernation." ”

When my maid heard this, she grinned behind her and said, "There is a difference. What a difference. Hibernation is not accompanied by a beautiful woman. My face flushed, and I quickly stopped, "Don't talk nonsense without rules." ”

When you saw me coming in, you were about to get up from the bed, but Wu Shun reached out and pressed you down on the pillow again, saying, "Lie down!" You glared at Wu Shun.

Wu Shun said: "Staring will also get tired. Go, bring him the blindfold and put it on. ”

"You're taking advantage of someone's danger. I didn't see you like this before. You say hatefully.

I watched you bickering and couldn't help but laugh, "Okay, okay." Let me make peace. Brother, just lie down and don't embarrass them. As for the straight, you don't have to be so majestic. As for the blindfold, let's get rid of it. ”

I said, "I know, my brother is very bored lying like this every day, let me help you relieve your boredom." Good no good? ”

"If I keep going like this, I feel like I'm going to get moldy." You say depressedly.

"Don't complain, who made you a patient." I say.

You say, "I'm really good enough to jump into the room in one step." ”

I said, "Okay, I know you can do it." But we have to listen to the doctor. If Dr. Sun says that you are not all right, it is not all good to be able to jump into the room. Let's have some soup first, okay? "I asked the maid to bring the soup cup she was carrying.

I took the soup, scooped a small spoonful, tried it on my lips, and said, "Drink it." Now it's not hot or cold, and the temperature is just right. ”

You say, "What is this?" ”

The maid said, "It's the rock sugar bird's nest stewed by the young lady herself." ”

You say, "I'm all right, so why eat something so valuable." ”

I said, "That's when valuable things come in handy." If you don't, I'll be all done this morning. ”

When you hear, you are silent. You glared at Wu Shun and said hatefully, "Master, can you allow me to get up and drink soup?" ”

I watched you drink the bird's nest soup spoonful by spoonful.

The maid took the empty soup cup and said with a smile: "Young boy, just wait slowly, Miss has prepared a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, and then there are fungus soup, wolfberry soup, Sichuan crossbow soup, gastrodia soup, ......."

You look at me. I bow my head under your gaze.

You say, "Tomorrow, you can also stew some nourishing soup and ask someone to give it to your eldest brother." That day, I saw that he was also seriously injured on his back, and I don't know if he has recovered in these days. ”

Wu Shun hated and said: "You have been tortured for so many days, and your whole person has lost weight, all thanks to him, and you still want to give him stewed soup?!" ”

You say, "He also did it that day out of a misunderstanding, not on purpose." He didn't have such a heavy hand, I already had a headache myself, and it looked a little scary. ”

Wu Shun said: "At this time, you are still helping him speak." ”

You look at me. You say, "Jean." Will you? ”

I sighed inwardly. I nodded silently. I said, "I understand what you mean." Don't worry, I will. ”

"After the soup, should I lie down and sleep again?" You ask sadly.

I said, "To lie down is to lie down." If you really can't sleep, just listen to me play the piano, okay? Listening to the piano can clear your mind and calm your mind, and if you listen to it, you will fall asleep before you know it. ”

I motioned for the other maid to set up the piano and set the strings. I asked, "What do you want to hear?" ”

You look at me, and you say, "Qin'er, don't have to work so hard. ”

I said, "I don't feel hard. Playing the piano is something I like to do, not to mention, not to mention ......"

Wu Shun continued: "What's more, it's still against the bosom friend." ”

You glared at Wu Shun again.

You say, "I like to listen to all the tunes you play." ”

I said, "Well, just play an elegant and distant song, and you can hear what it is." ”

That day, I sat across from your bed, meditated, and played the song "Ancient Temple".

The sound of the piano is like the sound of a mountain stream, and the whole room is instantly empty, as if filled with the breath of the forest.

You lean back on a pillow and listen quietly.

Watching me play intently, watching you listen intently, Wu Shun glanced at the little maid and the maids. They quietly retreated. Wu Shun gently closed the door.

We were the only ones left in the room, and there was a clear sound of the piano.

That was the happiest moment of my life.

In my life, I can only accompany you briefly in between your injuries. I know that when you are fully healed, it will be when we are separated again.

Such a moment is fleeting and never to come again.

I pour all my tenderness into you at this moment and every note. I put all my self in this piano sound, into your ears, into your heart, into your life, into your one, into your mood, into your memory.

The old mountain pine and bamboo are old, there are few bosom friends, and who listens to the broken strings.

After the song is played, the aftermath lingers.

We faced each other and looked at each other.

You say, "What a beautiful sound." It reminds me of the white clouds and flowing water of the Qingchuan River, the pine waves, and the cornices of the Taoist temple, hidden among the countless canopies. ”

I said, "This song is called "Ancient Temple". ”

You say, "Jean." I feel that I am really blessed. ”

I said, "I don't want you to be injured. Even if I haven't had a chance to be with you. ”

You say, "Sit down." ”

I got up and left the piano bench and sat down on the edge of your bed.

You look at me. You hold my hand.

You say, "On the day my eldest brother came to apologize, I saw you covering your eyes by my bedside, tears streaming down my cheeks, and I felt like a thousand arrows piercing my heart." I'm sorry to make you sad to be caught between these things in my house. ”

I'm looking at you. I bowed my head. Our hands were clasped tightly.

You say, "I wish that time stopped and flowed no more." ”

You say, "Let this moment be eternal." ”

A good moment is worth a thousand gold.
