Time rewinds to an hour ago.

At the beginning of the unitary period, Mei Twelve got off the carriage of the Feng family and looked up at the lintel of the Feng Mansion, a little distracted for a while.

Ayu's words seem to still be in my ears-

"Your day will be in the evening of the day after tomorrow, between three and a quarter of the hour."

"Everything is appropriate, and there are no taboos."

A slight smile appeared in Mei Twelve's eyes, and quickly dissipated.

"Mr. Mei, you go this way." Feng Liang made a gesture of invitation nearby.

The evening sunset shone on Mei Twelve's shoulders, reflecting his face in a brilliant golden yellow.

He adjusted his breathing for a moment, and as usual, calmly stepped onto the stone steps of the Feng Mansion.

……

There were only two people at the banquet at night, Mei Twelve and Feng Yuandao, Mei Twelve neither drank nor used chopsticks, Feng Yuandao asked the reason, Mei Twelve said that he "didn't eat at noon".

Feng Yuandao was surprised for a moment, "Mr. Mei also worships Buddha on weekdays?" ”

Mei Twelve smiled and shook her head, "It's rude, it's just a habit." ”

Facing a table of fish and meat delicacies, Feng Yuandao once again realized his faux pass - in the past, he never cared about these things to entertain guests, it was the Li family who was in front and back, and at that time, he only felt that the meals were handed over to his subordinates to do, so what was the difficulty of arranging tasks with his mouth?

I didn't expect that this time I would take care of everything and say that I would personally feast on Xiaoyou, so there was such a trouble.

- It turns out that Mr. Mei doesn't eat at night!

What a carelessness......

On the other hand, Mei Twelve didn't feel offended, he asked for a pot of tea from the next person, and still used tea instead of wine to talk to Feng Yuandao.

The steps were given over there, and Feng Yuandao immediately got off the donkey, but this well-prepared dinner ended in less than half an hour.

Feng Yuandao and Mei Twelve soon returned to Siyongzhai, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Feng Yan and Li Shi sitting in a chat.

Wei Xingzhen was standing next to him with a brocade box, waiting for Feng Yan and Li to put the thread into the box, and when a box was full, he put the lid on the box and took it elsewhere, and then replaced it with an empty box.

At this time, the cotton threads were all sorted, and Wei Xingzhen sat next to Feng Yan and chatted with her mother.

"Mr. May." Li got up and greeted Mei Twelve, "You're here." ”

Mei Twelve bowed to the Li family, and Yu Guang looked at Feng Yan again.

Tonight's Feng Yan was the same as the day before yesterday, with a faint flush on her cheeks, and her eyes were full of warmth.

…… Is it because of staying with Wei Xingzhen?

Her soft and delicate hands were crossed in front of her, the backs of her hands and her fingers were as white as jade, only the tips of her fingertips were slightly pink.

Mei Twelve quickly staggered her gaze away, so as not to be distracted by the scene in front of her.

"Mr. Mei seems to be in a good mood today," Feng Yan asked with a smile, "Did you encounter any happy events?" ”

——The breath that lingers around Mei Twelve today is still light and breezy, but in the silence, there is a little more tension that is different from the past.

Mei Twelve smiled silently.

He didn't look at Feng Yan's eyes, just lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup on the table next to him, "Yes, can you see this too?" ”

Li Shi was stunned, "What happy event?" ”

"I've found a new herb," replied Mei Twelve, "and maybe it can be used to heal Ayu's leg." ”

"Yes......" Li also smiled, "that is a great event!" ”

The crowd exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Wei Xingzhen always stood aside, silently staring at this doctor who everyone liked and respected, but he didn't like it very much.

Although he couldn't find the reason for his disgust in this person for a while, whenever this person appeared, Wei Xingzhen faintly felt a little wanted to take Ah Yan away.

After a while, Mei Twelve and Feng Yuandao went into the inner room to prepare for the needle, and the Li family also went with them.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the living room, Wei Xingzhen lowered her head and quickly kissed Feng Yan on the neck.

"Let's go back." He whispered in Feng Yan's ear.

Feng Yan smiled and rubbed her eyes, "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost three o'clock in the hour."

"Good...... I'm also a little tired. Feng Yan nodded, "Let's go into the house and say hello before leaving." ”

Inside the house, Mei Twelve had already opened his needle box, and dozens or hundreds of silver needles of different thicknesses were obliquely inserted into a wedge-shaped deerskin, Feng Yuandao was lying on the bench covered with a blanket, one foot shrunk under the blanket, and the other had rolled up his trousers and set up on the footstool not far in front of him.

Li Shi asked in a low voice about the pharmacology of the herbs sent by Mr. Mei yesterday, and Mei Twelve replied gently, and his hand under the needle was not messed up at all.

Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen watched this scene from the sidelines, waiting for Li to finish asking what she wanted to ask.

Mei Twelve slowly counted the hours in her heart, and the closer she got closer, the more she felt looking forward to it, looking forward to it and suffering it.

"Mother." He heard Feng Yan whisper behind him, "Don't ask yet, let Mr. Mei concentrate on the needle." ”

Li Shi suddenly reacted, "Hey, look at me...... Don't bother you, you can apply the needle first. ”

Feng Yan gently tugged at her mother's sleeve, "Xingzhen and I will go back first today." ”

"Okay, get some rest early." Li smiled and groaned, "I've worked hard for you today, stay here for a day...... I'll send you out. ”

The needle in Mei Twelve's hand suddenly hesitated and stopped in mid-air.

- If Feng Yan leaves, what excuse will he have to get closer after a while?

It is now three quarters before the unitary hour, and there is less than half a cup of tea left.

Seeing that Feng Yan and Wei Xingzhen of the Li family were about to walk out of this room, Mei Twelve was almost about to say something, and a sharp and loud voice from the palace people came from outside the courtyard-

"There is a will!"

Almost all the people present recognized that this was Tang Sanxue's voice.

Feng Yuandao, who was originally lying down, also immediately sat up, but the seven or eight silver needles that had been pierced in his legs were there, and his trouser legs couldn't be put down for a while.

"Mr. Mei, can you help me pull out all these needles first?"

Mei Twelve frowned, "...... It's hard to pull out. ”

"Don't worry," Feng Yan stepped forward and grabbed her father's shoulder, "You just wait in the house with Mr. Mei first, and I will go out with Xingzhen to have a look." ”

Feng Yuandao looked at his daughter with some concern, and then nodded.

When Feng Yan and the others went to the door of the house, Tang Sanxue was already standing in the courtyard waiting.

He greeted him with a smirk that was usually uncomfortable.

Li Shi looked at the holy decree in his hand that symbolized His Majesty's presence, and was about to step forward to salute, but was stopped by Tang Sanxue.

"Before leaving tonight, Your Majesty specially explained that it is too late now, don't disturb the rest of the Feng Mansion." Tang Sanxue smiled at Feng Yan and Li Shi, "You and Gongzi don't have to wait here, just go into the house and rest."

The will...... It was specially passed on to Lord Wei. ”
