Chapter 4: Healing

That night, Imperial Physician Yu personally boiled medicine for the old marquis, Guan Yun and fed his father. After asking his subordinates to bring up the porridge made for the old marquis alone, Guan Yunhe waited until the porridge was almost cold, and then fed it to his father one bite at a time. After serving his father and falling asleep, he left for the front hall.

Tables and chairs have been set up in the hall, and the whole family is waiting for Guan Yunhe here. Seeing him coming, everyone except the old lady waited for him to sit down before sitting down again. Guan Yun and his wife sat on the left side of the old lady, and on the right sat Guan Yacheng, Guan Yayi, Guan Yajuan, and Guan Yaru. Aunt Liu and Aunt Wen stood next to Guan Yun and the husband and wife. Everyone also has maids waiting by their side.

The people brought the food to them one by one. This was Guan Yunhe's first meal at home after returning from the border pass. The ancient people practiced that food is silent, and sleep is silent. Therefore, in addition to the sound of dishes and chopsticks and chewing in the room, it is the sound of the maids waiting for their masters to eat.

Yaru has been growing up at the border since she came through, and she has always eaten at the same table with her father. She always said whatever she wanted at the dinner table, but she also knew that she had to abide by the rules of the capital when she returned to the capital, so she also ate quietly, only occasionally glancing at her mother-in-law Wen, and then at her father.

Guan Yunhe has been paying attention to his little daughter with the rest of his eyes. He had been worried that Yaru was not used to it, so he saw his daughter's little eyes. After eating for a while, Guan Yun said to Mrs. Wang: "Today is the day of reunion, and there are maids to serve, so let the aunts also sit down with everyone." ”

Mrs. Wang saw that her husband had spoken, and said that it was the first day that Wen's arrived home today, so she asked the maid to put two more seats. Aunt Liu and Aunt Wen thanked the lord and Mrs. and sat down solemnly.

Guan Yunhe paid attention to his little daughter again, and found that since Aunt Wen sat down, her eyes no longer drifted, and she sat there to eat with peace of mind. Guan Yunhe's heart couldn't help but smile.

At the same time that the two of them were secretly looking at each other, the old lady had been looking at this little granddaughter who had grown up at the border pass, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at her wandering eyes and her expression after the last quiet. The old man couldn't help nodding in his heart, it seems that this is a child with affection and intention, and he is also a clever child, and it is no wonder that his son always mentions how his little daughter is in the letter, and his love for this little daughter can be seen between the lines.

After eating, Guan Yunhe still went back to his father's room to serve, while Aunt Wen and Yaru went back to their rooms. As soon as Yaru came back, the two sisters, Yajuan and Laiyi, came over together. After the two entered the house, they asked Yaru if she was still short of things and if she was still used to coming back. Aru was a little moved. These two half-sisters were able to show their concern for her on the first night she returned to the capital, and even if she couldn't see how many layers of care there were, she was still very satisfied in her heart. Aru has seen many stories of sisters fighting each other in house fight novels, and she had already prepared for the worst when she came. But for now, it's off to a good start. The old lady looked kind, the lady was kind, and the brother and sister showed sincere friendliness.

Peach and Apricot were busy pouring tea and snacks for the two young ladies. Yaru accompanied the two sisters to talk.

Yayi said: "Third sister, you just came back, there may be a lot of unaccustomed places in this house, mother is sometimes very busy, she may not think so thoughtfully sometimes, if there is anything in the future, you can also tell me directly." ”

Yaru smiled and said, "Thank you, second sister, my sister will inevitably trouble the two sisters in the future." ”

Yajuan also smiled and said: "Third sister, my second sister and I follow my husband every day to study and do needlework, you can rest for a few days and come with us." ”

Yaru hehe: "My sister is studying with my husband, so I can't play with my sisters these days." ”

Yi smiled and said, "The third sister comes to school early, so we can study together and do needlework together." ”

The three sisters talked and laughed for a while, and seeing that it was not early, Yajuan and Yayi said goodbye and left.

After sending the sisters away, Yaru returned to the house, and Taohong said, "Miss, it seems that the eldest lady and the second miss are very good people." ”

Yaru looked at Taohong and said: "We just came, we have to be careful about everything, there are some things that should not be said and should not be asked, so we must not say don't ask, it will not be wrong to see more and say less, after all, we don't know all the people in this mansion now." ”

Both rosΓ© and apricot nodded yes.

The next day, after saying goodbye to her grandmother and Mrs. Wang, she went to see her grandfather. When I got to the outside of my grandfather's house, I saw Laixi standing outside. She asked, "Come to Xi, is grandfather okay?"

Lai Xi saluted her and said, "Miss Hui, the old marquis is in better spirits, but he can't get up yet." The old man had just fed him medicine. ”

Yaru said, "Then I'll kowtow to my grandfather here." As he spoke, he kowtowed three times to the door. After kowtowing, he said to Laixi: "Laixi, you tell your father, let your grandfather be well, and I will come back tomorrow to kowtow to his old man." ”

At this time, Guan Yunhe heard the movement and walked out and said to his daughter: "Ru'er, grandpa's spirit is much better than last night, now awake, I want to see you, come in with my father." ”

Yaru went in with her father, walked to her grandfather's bedside, kowtowed to her grandfather again, and said hello.

The old marquis asked her to come to him. He took Yaru's little hand, and his thin face was full of love: "It's called Ru'er." I have known you for a long time, your father always mentioned you in letters, saying that you are a naughty and sensible girl, and I just heard you say hello to your grandfather outside, and you are indeed a sensible child. It's a pity that you're nine years old before your grandfather saw you. Maybe there were too many words at once, and the old marquis's breath was a little gasping.

Yaru hurriedly said, "Grandfather, Ru'er has always missed you and grandmother. Your old man is still weak now, don't talk so much, Ru'er will come over to accompany you every day in the future, okay?"

The old marquis nodded at his little granddaughter, and the smile on his face was even stronger.

Under the careful treatment of the imperial doctor, the old lady's body really gradually improved, and in the past half a month, Guan Yunhe slept in the old father's room every day to serve the sick. When the old lady was in good spirits, the father and son, who had not seen each other for ten years, talked about everything. Yaru also came to talk to her grandfather every day. Now the old lady can walk around the courtyard for a while.

On this day, the old lady was basking in the sun in the yard accompanied by her son. Yaru came with Apricot and Peach with a few small purses.

"Grandfather, look at how many bags of rapeseed I have here, it's the season to plant, I see that there is such a big open space behind your yard, let's grow vegetables and eat them ourselves, okay?"

"Oh, how did Ru'er remember that she had grown vegetables? Is it because the vegetables sold outside are not delicious?" the old lady teased his little granddaughter.

Yaru tilted her little head and counted her little fingers with her hand: Grandfather, there are many benefits to growing vegetables, you see, you can exercise, you can bask in the sun outside, you can eat fresh vegetables at any time, looking at the vegetables you grow can also increase your appetite, and how fulfilling it is to see the fruits of your labor every day! There are ......, and there are .......

The old lady laughed: "Okay, since there are so many benefits, grandfather will grow vegetables with Ru'er." ”

"Okay, okay, let's get the land out first, and then we'll see what to plant. "Ajoule is upside down.

"Let's go, let's go to the back and make a gesture. Holding the little granddaughter's hand, the old man smiled and walked towards the clearing.

Watching the grandparents and grandchildren go hand in hand, Guan Yun and couldn't help but sigh. The father is a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, with a bold temperament and informality, and his old man should like this lively little granddaughter very much.

The old marquis is also sighing, saying that he also has several grandchildren, but each of them is well-behaved in front of him, only this granddaughter who was born and raised in Northern Xinjiang does not have so many constraints, delicate and cute.

It took the grandfather and grandson a day to get their subordinates to open the land, planting tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, coriander, beans, and spinach.

In fact, it is said that the ancestors and grandchildren farmed the land, but in fact, most of the work was done by subordinates. Yaru just thought it was fun, and sometimes threw a few carob seeds into the pit even if she had planted the land herself, and since then, the old lady's yard has become a place where Yaru often comes, and the old lady's health is getting better and better day by day.

As a result, the following scenarios often arise here:

Grandpa, shall we play chess today?

Okay, let's play chess, Ru'er, do you want grandpa to let you have a few today?

Let ten steps is good, I'm small, you let me more.

...... ......

Grandpa, is it okay for me to re-play this move?

Ru'er, don't cheat.

......

Grandpa, come and see, the little cabbage grows.

Wow, one, two, three, so many

......

Grandpa, can you teach me archery?

......

Ru'er, be attentive when writing. Don't be lazy

......

Grandpa, can you tell me the story of your war in the Northland?

Grandfather......

Grandfather......

Grandpa, let's go and see how much the vegetables have grown, okay?

In Mrs. Wang's room, Mrs. Wang's wet nurse, Mother Wang, was pinching Mrs. Wang's shoulder.

Mrs. Wang asked the nurse, "What has the third lady been doing lately?"

The nurse said: "Third Miss, now in the old marquis's yard, a few days ago, the third lady planted a lot of vegetables in the old marquis's yard. ”

Mrs. Wang's eyes froze: "But I heard that the old marquis likes it?"

Mother Wang looked at Mrs. Wang's face and said, "The old lady likes it." The third lady has a lively temperament, and her little mouth is very good at talking. I heard that the old marquis led the third lady to play chess and archery every day, and he was very happy. ”

Mrs. Wang's heart was a little upset, and she pushed away the wet nurse's massaging hand. There was a bit of gloom on his face.

The nurse said carefully, "Or let the third lady learn needlework with the two young ladies, anyway, sooner or later you have to let her go to school, it's better to let her go now, there is something to do, she won't grow up in the old marquis's yard every day, after a long time, with her identity as a concubine, the old marquis and the old lady will slowly distance themselves from her." It's still the second lady who likes the old marquis and the old lady. ”

Mrs. Wang rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Then so be it, you go and tell the third girl to learn to write and do needlework with her two sisters in two days." ”
