On this day in the spring of the eighth year of orthodoxy, the sun was very good, the windows were bright and clean, and Lin clearly heard Li Ting say that he wanted to see her illness.

Lin didn't speak, just picked up the teapot and poured tea into the cup.

Nowadays, doctors are basically men, paying attention to the difference between men and women, women are sick and difficult to treat, and there is a saying among the people that "it is better to treat ten men than one woman". One of Lin's illnesses was astringent menstruation, and she valued women's chastity as very important, and she was always ashamed to speak up about it. Although I had found a doctor to come and see, I was casually perfunctory, and I didn't dare to explain the symptoms clearly, and the disease naturally became more and more serious.

Li Ting has only been studying medicine for a long time, she doesn't think that Li Ting's medical skills can be high, and of course she doesn't want Li Ting to see a doctor for her.

Lin glanced up at Li Ting, thinking about how to talk to Li Ting. After all, she wanted to pass Li Ting under her own feet, so she naturally had to be tactful if she refused. After a while, Lin shook his head and said with a smile: "Good boy, I understand your kindness, but I am a difficult and miscellaneous disease, not something you can cure." ”

Li Ting expected that Lin would say this, and said, "Mother can let me try to diagnose the pulse?" ”

Lin listened and looked at Li Ting for a while, then nodded, and put the small handkerchief on his wrist. In this way, Li Ting could only diagnose the pulse through a handkerchief. Li Ting was a little helpless about this, the Lin family is still a very traditional woman in her bones, and she knows the difference between men and women. But seeing Lin lowering his eyelashes and waiting for him, his face was sickly pale, and he looked a little like Li Xi'er, with a different kind of beauty.

Li Ting didn't have any other thoughts at the moment, and quietly checked Lin's pulse, only to find that her pulse was weak and thin. Diagnosis and treatment are expected, smelling, asking, and cutting the so-called "four diagnoses", he can only barely do the second, he wants to cure Lin's, the main obstacle is Lin's non-cooperation, Lin's taboo about the difference between men and women, which really makes him don't know how to speak.

Li Ting raised his eyes and looked at the Lin family, and stopped talking.

Seeing that Li Ting seemed to have something to say, Lin smiled and said, "Okay, enough trouble." Don't worry about my illness. ”

Li Ting had expected this to be the case, just think about it, these days he came to the Lin family, and he has been observing the situation of the Lin family, but he can't see the reason, and finally the relationship is much closer, so he proposed to diagnose the pulse, but he didn't expect it to be true.

However, Li Ting is not out of the question, just can't do it in a roundabout way, Lin's personal maid should have a very thorough understanding of Lin's illness, which can make him better understand Lin's illness. There is always a way to keep Lin from being tormented by illness.

Seeing that Li Ting didn't speak, Lin smiled slightly, and thought about whether she should tell Li Ting what she was thinking in her heart—she wanted to pass him on to her feet. Then she looked into the young man's eyes, which were dark and clear, and so clean that they seemed to know her thoughts.

Lin really liked his tranquility, sighed lightly, walked to the window, and quietly looked at the lonely rockery pond outside the window.

When she walked, Li Ting couldn't help but look at her three-inch golden lotus, and didn't know what to say, this Lin's character is really worth setting up an archway, but he doesn't like this ancient archway very much. Lin said to himself: "I heard Lan Xiang say last night, so Zhu Yanheng seems to value you a lot?" He specially praised you in front of Mrs. Li, saying that you have an extraordinary demeanor, like the young people in the whole house, and you have been praised by him. ”

Li Ting smiled.

It does sound like this, but Li Ting knows that Zhu Yi likes his sister more, and Zhu Yi's attention to his sister that day has made Li Ting a little wary. Zhu Yi's so-called character and talent are insignificant in his opinion, not to mention that Cheng Guogong's fate in the Tumubao change was not good, so he didn't want to get too close to Zhu Yi.

But the Lin family praised Zhu Yi in his words, and heard her say again: "Judging from the time, Yan Heng and the old man will leave for Beijing in a few days. ”

Li Ting nodded and said, "I know this." ”

Lin turned his head and glanced at Li Ting, thinking that Li Ting didn't care if his father entered Beijing or not. However, when Li Yan went to the capital, he was afraid that he would not be able to see each other for another year, and the matter of succession would be talked about at least a year later, and who knew what the situation would be like at that time. She was worried that her health was getting worse day by day, and the medicine did not work, and she remembered that the widow Ma Shi, who had sores and ulcers on her breasts, said in "The Lady of the Festival", finally died because she refused to be treated by a male doctor.

She is not afraid of death.

She lost her eldest daughter in her early years, experienced worry and sorrow, was depressed all the year round, and her body was often sick, and she was used to any illness. She has no feelings for Li Yan, she really doesn't have any nostalgia in the world, if it weren't for a little pity to take care of, where would she be able to persist now.

Li Yan is Xiao Xi'er's father, but he rarely gets close, this is the pain in her heart, and then this year Li Yan is leaving home again, and he has never come to play with Xiao Xi'er, why is this happening?

Lin was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Ting'er, I have something to discuss with you. ”

Li Ting was stunned and said, "Mother, please speak." ”

Lin looked at the shade of the trees outside the window and whispered, "Have you heard of Ji?" He has no children of himself, but takes the sons of others as his sons. ”

Li Ting had already guessed Lin's thoughts, but he didn't expect Lin to suddenly bring it up.

Lin glanced at Li Ting and said with a smile: "We have not had an eldest son in the second room, and it is also because my mother is still alive that there has been nothing wrong, but sooner or later, our Li family will have to split up, and someone will inevitably covet my family property." Although we are the second room, in terms of the ability of your father in the Li family, your father is stronger than your uncle, and now he is an official in the imperial court, and he can be regarded as having a lot of power. Therefore, our second room naturally has to have the eldest son to support the family. ”

Li Ting thought for a while and said, "Father seems to like the sixth brother Ange'er very much. ”

Lin shook his head and said, "An'er is too young after all. Besides, his mother is such a person who likes to stir up trouble, and I don't worry about her children being in charge of the house in the future. I think, you probably understand my thoughts, Aunt Du is a concubine, Brother An is a concubine like you, and she does not have an advantage over you, so I hope it will be you who will inherit the family business in the future, and I want to inherit you to my feet and become the second sister-in-law. I'm telling you today that I'm also worried that if one day I'm gone, no one will support you, and you really won't have a chance. Knowing that you have a weak temperament, you don't like to get involved in this family affair, but after all, this is your home, isn't it, and your own property is not coveted by other children and nephews, so how about you accept it as a pie in the sky? ”

Li Ting was silent for a while and said, "However, grandmother is afraid that she will not agree. ”

Lin laughed: "Well, this is also one of the troubles, but I see that my mother has changed a lot of opinion of you in recent days, although she doesn't like you, but she doesn't like Aunt Du even more, so she may not be unwilling to agree to this matter." There is a word called doing things in man-made. I think I'll find an opportunity to tell my mother tomorrow that I'll pass you on to my feet, and of course I'll have to help my son in this matter, because my mother loves her so much, and it will be easier to have her in the middle. ”

Lin and Li Ting talked for about two quarters of an hour. When Li Ting left, Lin's face was full of relief, and his eyes were also very soft when he looked at Li Ting, and said with a smile: "Remember my words, I will see how you perform tomorrow." ”

Li Ting bowed slightly, walked out of the Lin family's house, and walked straight to Li Xi'er. He also made a decision early to intervene in the affairs of the Li family, and the Lin family just gave him an excellent opportunity. When it came to the end, he couldn't calm down.

Li Ting breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the ancient mansion uncalmly as he walked.

In another room, he saw his sister biting her pen in a daze, her little face stained with a little ink. At this time, it was already sunset, and the high sky sprinkled the glow of the sun from the distant mountains into her daze eyes, as if the Milky Way was in her eyes.

When Li Ting went to his sister's side, he saw Xuemei coming with a basin of floating flowers and wanted to wash her sister's face. Li Ting took the basin, bent down to wipe Li Xi'er's face with a cloth instead of Xuemei, and said, "You're about to become a cat." ”

Li Xi'er waited quietly for the second brother to wipe her face clean.

Li Ting saw that she was so well-behaved, and she couldn't lose her temper at all, maybe it was because of her eyes, which were flawless and pure, which always made him feel like he was with an angel. So that's why everyone says that children are angels.

Li Xi'er wiped her face, and then her eyes fell on Li Ting's face, and said, "Second brother, what is there that makes you happy like this?" ”

Li Ting couldn't help laughing: "How can you see that the second brother is happy?" ”

Li Xi'er's voice was immature, her eyes were bent into a crescent moon with a smile, and she hurriedly said: "Because when the second brother is happy, his eyes will glow, and I can see it at a glance." ”

"My eyes will glow?" Li Ting raised his eyebrows, his eyes are not searchlights, why do they glow, they are children's imagination? But he looked down at his sister, and her eyes seemed to be flickering, which was a visual illusion, and it was impossible to say that it was simply a visual illusion.

The human eye is really amazing, maybe it really shines.

"Second brother, do you know, today I went to play with my grandmother, and I showed my grandmother that you taught me to write, and my grandmother was very happy and praised me for writing well." Li Xi'er said with a smile.

"And what did you say to Grandmother?"

"Of course I said that you taught me, second brother."

Li Ting looked at her with a smile, but remembered Lin's instructions, so he said the succession.

Li Xi'er didn't know what it meant to pass over, and said confusedly: "Is there any real or fake second brother?" ”

Li Ting smiled: "Of course there is." Now although the second brother is your second brother, he is not close enough, your mother is your mother, and my mother is my mother. Once I come over the room, then we are really a family, your mother is my mother, and no one can break it up. ”

Li Xi'er frowned after hearing this, and pouted: "Second brother, are you going to rob my mother with me?" ”

Li Ting suspected that he had heard it wrong, and it was clear in an instant, as if he hadn't explained it clearly to his sister, but just said that her mother was his, and he couldn't complain that she would be wrong. He looked at his sister's pouting expression, and the more he thought about it, the funnier it became, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems like this." ”

"Second brother! You are a gentleman, a gentleman does not take the favor of others! ”

"But the gentleman has not had a mother since he was a child, and he wants to have a mother very much."

Li Ting smiled and continued to tease her, still thinking about how she would reply, but she stared at him, pursed her lips and thought for a while, and finally suddenly whispered: "Okay, second brother, but I can only give you half of my mother's mother." ”

"Half?"

Li Ting was stunned, and he didn't think of how to make half of it.

Li Xi'er's eyes were bright, the corners of her mouth were smiling, and she didn't know the ambiguity of her words, so she said: "Yes, my mother's mother is mine during the day, and my mother's mother is my second brother's at night." ”

Li Ting was speechless, the so-called half turned out to be like this. Hearing her say this, Li Ting's heart was a little warm, my sister is good, but this half is too scary, subconsciously turned around, only to see Xuemei and Yuzhu on the side with white faces, and couldn't help laughing, what is this called?

Adults should learn from children, not dirty, and elegant.
