Summer Solstice (2)

Lao Li is no better than Lu Wen'an and indulges Xue Ling in everything, but when it comes to his relationship with Xue Yihan, he is not much shallower than Lu Wen'an. Many years ago, Xue Yihan was only in his early twenties, and he marched with his father. Lao Li Tou was not old at that time, because the ancestors of the family had basic medical books passed on, although they were not rich and noble, they had a happy family, a virtuous wife and a wise son, and they lived a very beautiful life in the Pingcheng area, if there was no war.

In troubled times, pigs and dogs are prosperous, and as soon as the Hu people come, there will be nothing. Even if the Xue clan has been a good general for generations, it is not enough to save everyone's lives. Lao Li's family, he lived alone, and his wife and son died. Losing a child in middle age, what hope is there in this life? In this life, it will be spent in Pingcheng. Looking at Xue Ling's liveliness every day, there are some different emotions in it, half-grown babies, aren't they all virtuous, how can they not be like their own sons.

Xue Ling heard the sound, raised his body, and saw that it was Lao Litou, and immediately jumped up. took the basket on his body, looked under the eaves and threw it over, and said, "Uncle Li, how can I go in person, I can't hire a small servant." She was skillful in her hands, and the back basket fell steadily, but this bump, the herbs spilled better.

Lao Li's lips moved, and he only spit out a sentence of "spoiling things". As he spoke, he bypassed Xue Ling and hurriedly picked up the rags on the ground.

Xue Ling stroked his hair, and could only follow behind his ass to help pick it up, and said in a relaxed tone, "These are worthless, and I am tired and have no place to reason." ”

"How can it be worthless, can save lives, you baby day by day."

According to the age, Xue Ling is seventeen and a half years old, and it is rare that Lao Li Tou is still that baby. After the two of them cleaned up their things, Green Gardenia just came to call for dinner.

The dishes on the table are sumptuous, and I think they were specially added. It's just that the ingredients are just some ordinary green vegetables and tofu, and the one with a little meat is just that bowl of chicken soup. This is not easy, in the Qi Mansion, the green gardenia family rarely buys by themselves, and the subordinates perform their own duties. Once you leave the house and take care of your own life, you have to be a little timid.

Aunt Zhao and Lao Li are familiar with each other, and they get along happily. But it was the first time to deal with Xue Ling, and he was worried about the rules of the house, standing on the side and waiting, not knowing what to do.

Xue Ling cleaned his hands, sat down first, and saw that no one was sitting, so he had to say, "In the future, it will be a family, and I will have to take care of my uncle and aunt, and come over to eat with Sister Lu Yu." She is not good at these scenes, and she stumbles. Lu Yu went to the kitchen to serve the meal without listening, Aunt Zhao and the old couple looked at each other, pushing each other, and no one dared to sit down first.

Lao Li Tou played a round and greeted Daddy Lu Yu affectionately, "Brother Gen doesn't have to be polite, come over and eat, it's all your own family." He and Lu Yu's father hit it off at first sight, and the two complemented each other, one sold medicine, the other could plant flowers and plants, and they chatted very well in the past two days.

While speaking, Lao Li Tou first filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Xue Ling, and said, "Little Master."

Lu Yu was coming over with a few bowls of rice, and when he heard this, he asked with a smile, "Why does Uncle Li call Miss a young master?"

Seeing that her daughter was coming, Aunt Zhao and the others finally relaxed, after all, their daughter was a close person to the young lady, and it was easier to talk. I also came and sat down together.

Lao Li Tou heard Lu Yu ask this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only look at Xue Ling with a blank eye.

Xue Ling put a spoonful of soup into his mouth without changing his face, and said, "My mother wants me to be a son, and I used to be a son before." After speaking, he drank another spoonful, and this soup was actually fresher than Linjiang Xian's.

All of a sudden, several people at the table had their own plans. The Lu Yi family lowered their heads, secretly regretting that they shouldn't ask more, they always thought that Xue Ling was Qi Shiyan's outer cousin, thinking that the lady wanted to have a son and earn a name, this thing is not very honorable, it is really poignant.

Lao Li Tou wanted to coax Xue Ling. What a beautiful girl he is, his little master. Mrs. Xue back then actually wanted a daughter. She is looking forward to giving birth to a daughter, so that she does not have to go to the battlefield like her husband. Who would have thought .....

Xue Ling didn't know what a few people were thinking, so she replied casually, just fooling the green gardenia, so she didn't care about anything. After drinking the soup, he stood up and filled a bowl by himself, and praised Aunt Zhao for her good craftsmanship, and she would be blessed in the future.

Green Gardenia also understood that her young lady didn't seem to care about this, and she was just talking fast. Now that I am relaxed, I will talk a little more.

After eating a meal, it seems that they have really become such a family.

Xue Ling rarely had enough to eat, dragged his body back to his room, fiddled with the purse, and suddenly wanted to call Xue Li over for a meal. When the bright moon hung high, he moved a chair and sat in the courtyard. The starry sky overhead and the occasional insect chirping in the corner are really a good time to be.

Lao Li Tou also took a small maza, approved a coat and sat next to Xue Ling, and the two of them blew the night breeze quietly for a while.

Xue Lingcai was the first to break the silence and said, "I heard that Uncle Li wants to open a medicine shop."

Lao Li didn't move, he was still sitting in that posture, and said, "Yes, people always have to have a head." That's what I'm going to do for the rest of my life. ”

"Let's open it, it's just that this house is not on the street, and business is not very good."

"If you want any good business, you just need to be able to hold a few mouths to eat."

After saying this, the two were silent again. Xue Ling pinched his wrist, and the peace was still inside.

Lao Li's fingers ran across the ground and pinched up a little dust. "General Xue.."

"Uncle Lee, don't say much." As soon as Xue Ling heard the first three words, he hurriedly interrupted. There are many people in Beijing, and Lao Li Tou and the three are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are powerless. If there is any flaw, she may not be able to protect it completely. It's better to let Lao Li Tou stay out of the matter completely, how to live, how to live.

As for the Xue family, she carried it alone, enough, enough.

Lao Li Tou didn't know why Xue Ling reacted so much, since he met Xue Ling, the two had not made a heart-to-heart. He only knew that Xue Ling had become the third lady of Qi Mansion, and his life seemed to be quite smooth, and he seemed to have never had the surname Xue.

Speaking of which, how is the Xue family, it is someone else's family matter, and it is not his turn to do more beak placement with Lao Li, but before leaving, the tragedy on Song Bai's face is unforgettable. He always wanted to ask Xue Ling.

So, he shouted "Little Master" in a long tone. Between the lips and teeth, there are vicissitudes and helplessness.

Xue Ling looked at the bright moon above his head and said, "Uncle Li doesn't have to worry about other things, I have my own opinions." She suddenly remembered Su Yan, so she stood up, leaned closer to Lao Li's head, and said softly, "Song Bai's son is still there, I rescued him." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but smile brightly, as if he was waiting for Lao Li to praise him.

She thought she had done a great job, but no one could talk about it. Xue Yihan is strict, she is especially greedy for praise from others, otherwise she would not stick to Lu Wenan all day long. Lao Li Tou is half an elder. Therefore, there is a bit of self-satisfaction at this time.

Sure enough, Lao Li Tou was also very excited, looked at Xue Ling and said, "Seriously, where are the people?"

Xue Ling knew that it was safe here, but he couldn't help but look around before he said in the ear of Lao Li Tou: "On the Jinluan Palace, this year's new champion." After speaking, he took a step back, stretched out his arms and turned around, looked at Lao Li Tou and said firmly: "So, Uncle Li just open your pharmacy and live a good life." The look on her face was ruthless, but it disappeared too quickly, Lao Li Tou didn't see it, only heard Xue Ling's next sentence "There is me else".

Lao Li Tou sighed that Song Bai still had a descendant, and he was so powerful, and he could be regarded as living up to General Song's spirit in the sky. With such a high official, he must be able to sort out the things of the year. He burst into tears, repeating "Okay... Good.. Okay...", and couldn't say anything else.

"It's windy at night, so Uncle Li should go into the house early and rest." Xue Ling reached out to pick up Lao Li's head, walked a few steps with him, and watched him enter the house. After a few more glances at the stars in the sky, the night was still long, and it was not yet time for me to sleep.

There are few people in Chen Wangfu, so there is no time to clean up the new room for Qi Qingfei. picked up the room where Xue Ling used to live and changed it for daily use, but fortunately, Qi Qingfei didn't pick these, and was happy to be close to the eldest sister's room. She didn't sleep in her room that night, and she had to share a bed with Qi Qingyi. At this moment, the two are already dependent on each other, and Qi Qingyi is not easy to dismiss this little sister's intentions, so he will accept it with a little persuasion.

At night, the candle burned out, and the maid was not called to continue, and the room was dark. The two deliberately avoided the sad things in bed, and at first they talked about some interesting things from their childhood. It wasn't until late at night that Qi Qingyi urged him to sleep three or four times in a row, and Qi Qingfei stopped his mouth.

It's just that after a pause, there was a lonely voice, as if talking to himself: "I don't know where my mother and sisters have gone." ”

Qi Qingyi tucked the corners of the quilt and said, "Dad, they have someone to take care of, it's okay."

Qi Qingfei asked about her mother and sister, but Qi Qingyi answered her father, she naturally knew that Qi Qingfei had a problem with Qi Shiyan, so she reminded her. It's over, father and daughter, there are so many overnight feuds, and it's been several nights.

What's more, what Qi Shiyan said is not entirely unreasonable. No amount of dirty means is better than a whole family giving their lives.

As the drowsiness grew, Qi Qingyi turned sideways. Thinking that tomorrow will be a new day, and the coming day will be long.

"How is the third sister, is she a good person?"

She woke up in an instant, tossed and turned a few times, but pretended to be confused and replied, "Okay, very." So I heard a slight snicker from the girl next to me, and then muttered like a mosquito, "I also think the third sister is good." ”

Good or bad, who can say?
