As soon as the sky showed the belly of the fish, the sound of chickens and dogs barking was incessant.

An An put the brocade quilt on his head and said: "It's noisy, I knew that I wouldn't come to Zhuangzi." ”

She was woken up by the barking of chickens and dogs every morning, so that she couldn't even sleep. Ahem, I won't be here to escape the heat in the future.

Caidie said helplessly: "Second girl, the eldest girl has finished punching, you should also get up." ”

An An was reluctant: "Don't make noise, I have to sleep again." ”

Qingshu finished punching and walked out. The morning in Zhuangzi was particularly quiet, and there were no people on the road.

Looking at the verdant woods in the distance, Qing Shu remembered the days when he used to be on the Zhuangzi with Fu Ran: "When I get old in the future, I will buy a Zhuangzi connected to the mountains and forests like Mr. Fu, plant all kinds of fruit trees, and then dig a fish pond to grow lotus root and raise fish." I have nothing to do to climb the mountain, pick fruits, fish, fish, and practice calligraphy when I am bored. ”

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Girl, that was thirty or forty years later. ”

"Now I think thirty or forty years is a long time, but when I look back at that age, I feel like it's just a blink of an eye."

From the time she opened her eyes when she was three years old to now, fifteen years have passed since she felt like a whoosh was gone.

Lin Fei smiled and said, "Wait until that time." ”

After picking a wildflower next to her, Qingshu said with some regret: "It's a pity that Mr. didn't come to Beijing, otherwise I could have played chess with her." ”

Originally, Fu Ran said that she would come in September last year, but she broke her foot before leaving. At that time, she asked Fu Jingze to come to Beijing alone to take the exam, but Fu Jingze did not agree. In February, the mother and son were ready to come to Beijing, and they didn't want Fu Jingze to get sick again.

After the illness was cured, the mother and son went to Qixia Temple to offer incense, and when drawing lots, they drew a sign that was not suitable for traveling.

Fu Ran didn't believe this, but Fu Jingze was worried and didn't want to come to Beijing to take the exam.

The mother and son quarreled over this matter, but in the end, Fu Jingze gave up the test.

Lin Fei said with a smile: "Young Master Fu is only eighteen this year, and he will only be twenty-one years old if he waits for another three years, and the twenty-one-year-old Master Jinshi is also very young." ”

"And didn't Mr. Fu say it in the letter? After the Mid-Autumn Festival, she will come to Beijing. ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "This time the teacher came to Beijing and can live for a long time. ”

Fu Jingze will definitely stay when he comes this time. After three years, if he successfully passed the Jinshi examination, he would stay in Beijing for a few years, and Fu Ran would definitely follow him.

Counting that their teachers and students haven't seen each other for nine years, Qingshu misses her very much.

Because he entered Beijing after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fu Ran took Fu Jingze back to Pingzhou to visit Master Fu.

Before returning to Pingzhou, Fu Ran wrote a letter to tell Master Fu, but when they got off the boat, they didn't see the servants of the Fu family.

When he returned home, Fu Ran knew that Master Fu was sick: "Dad, why didn't you tell me when you were sick?" ”

Master Fu said with a smile: "You are already on the way back, and you can't receive the letter!" ”

Fu Ran asked with concern, "Dad, what kind of illness is it?" It doesn't matter! ”

Master Fu said indifferently: "When you get older, you naturally have a lot of old problems. You don't have to worry, my body is good, and it won't be a problem to live for another ten or eight years. ”

Fu Ran was not at ease, so he asked someone to invite a doctor.

Master Fu stopped and said: "It's really not a big problem, it's just that I accidentally ate too much roast mutton a few days ago and got on fire, and I've already taken medicine and it's fine." ”

Fu Ran didn't know what to say: "Dad, you're not a three-year-old child, why are you still greedy?" ”

Old Man Fu said happily: "I won't eat it in the future." Now I eat vegetables and drink rice porridge every day, and if I eat it again, I will become a little white rabbit. ”

The father and daughter were talking when they heard a voice outside: "Ah Ran, you're back!" ”

A hint of boredom flashed in Master Fu's eyes.

Fu Ran stood up and walked to the door, and called sister-in-law to Luo's who entered the door.

Luo Shi smiled and said, "Ah Ran, why don't you write to me when you come back, and I will send someone to wait for you at the dock." ”

When Master Fu heard this, he pouted back directly: "I told you in five days, tell Rong Hui that Ah Ran will be here in a few days." You have taken my words as wind in your ears, and now you are saying that Ah Ran did not tell you in advance. ”

Luo's face froze, but he quickly raised a smile and said, "Ah Ran, it's all mine, I forgot about it." ”

Fu Ran was not angry, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not that I don't know the way home." ”

After Luo and Fu Ran both sat down, they asked affectionately, "Ah Ran, how long will you stay this time?" ”

When Master Fu heard this, his face sank. As soon as my daughter entered the door, she asked how long she had stayed? He is not dead yet, and he can't tolerate Ah Ran.

Sensing that Master Fu's expression was wrong, Luo Shi realized that what he said was easy to misunderstand: "Ah Ran, my father is getting older and his health is not as good as before, so when I come back this time, I will stay more and spend more time with his old man." ”

Fu Ran came back for the festival and didn't want to make any conflicts: "Dad is not in good health, you and your eldest brother have worked hard." ”

Master Fu didn't wait for Luo Shi to speak, and said directly: "What's the hard work? I was sick and I couldn't even see them. ”

Fu Ran glanced at Luo's and did not speak.

Master Fu said impatiently to Luo's: "There's nothing for you here, you can go back!" ”

Luo's face was ugly, but she still gave a blessing: "Father-in-law, then I'll go back, if you have anything to send someone to tell me." ”

After Luo's left, Fu Ran said, "Dad, are you sick, and your eldest brother and sister-in-law don't come to visit you?" ”

"They're all busy, so they don't have time to care about me, a bad old man. Fortunately, Han Ming is filial, he has been with me when I was uncomfortable a few days ago, and I have been so good that he went out these two days. ”

Fu Ran asked, "What is the eldest brother busy all day?" ”

Speaking of this, Master Fu got angry: "Who knows what they are busy with?" Not long ago, he said that he was looking for me money for business, and as soon as he opened his mouth, it was 5,000 taels. When I asked what kind of business they were doing, they said that they would invest in the bank, and they also said that they would make a steady profit and not lose money. ”

"There is no sure business in this world that makes money without losing money, and I don't agree that they have a fight with me."

Fu Ran understood as soon as he heard it: "Dad, you didn't eat too much mutton this time, but because you were angry with your eldest brother and sister-in-law, right?" ”

Master Fu found that he had leaked his words, and he no longer hid it for them: "Your eldest brother has lost a lot of money in business over the years, and he has sold one of the shops." If this continues, the family business will be ruined by them. ”

"Dad, why haven't I heard you say these things?"

Master Fu smiled bitterly: "Your eldest brother only listens to Luo's words, and takes my words as the wind in his ears." He doesn't listen to me, and telling you only adds to your troubles. ”

Fu Ran was silent and said, "Dad, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry about it so much." ”

Master Fu shook his head and said, "If you don't care about them, the whole family will have to live on the street in a few years." ”
