When they returned to the old house, Xinjie went to see his father again, and although he felt that it was awkward to carry things to his father, he still went hard. His father's stiffness was not surprising, but he could feel the tenderness in his eyes again. Tang Lan was indeed very happy in her heart, and she was very surprised by her son's performance. Ever since he was sensible, he had resisted him for his mother's sake. He also felt ashamed of Yeon-yeon and his son, but he never said it. Seeing him leave the house, Tang Lan felt that he usually cared too little about this child, and Lan Xin's matter, although it was not his fault, he always felt that he was sorry for this child. If it hadn't been for the accident of the Zhou family, if he hadn't thought that the girl would never come back to be the daughter-in-law of the Tang family, he would not have hastily agreed to the marriage of the Lan family, and he would not have let his son worry about a bastard woman like Lan Xin. Xinjie is the only child of him and Yeon-yeon, the child of the woman he and the only woman he loves, and it is precisely because of this that he often can't face up to his grief of losing Yeon-yeon, so he always avoids this child. Since he was a child, because of his father's estrangement and his mother's harsh criticism, this child had to wander away with his aunt all the year round, and he was even more indifferent to his father. He didn't know what made his son change his attitude, but he was happy. Is it because he has a new cousin by his side these days? For Meilian's girl, if Xinjie really has a fate with her, maybe this is really God's arrangement, maybe it is also the meaning of Yanyan's spirit in the sky, if she really chose this daughter-in-law...

Xinjie didn't know what his father was thinking, although for a moment there was a trace of strangeness in his father's eyes, but he was not good at communicating with him since he was a child, and he didn't want to delve into it, so he mechanically withdrew from his study and walked towards his yard. He was curious, what was it that attracted her so much? When I got closer, I found that it was a Sanskrit medical book stored at home, and the ancestors of the Tang family were collecting different medical books until their generation, and this set of Sanskrit medical books totaled twenty-two volumes. Xinjie used to read it, but because of his limited Sanskrit, he didn't understand much about it in many places, so he just turned to one or two books. No one of their siblings could understand it, so they were put on the shelf. In addition, there are also some single Sanskrit medicine books, which should have been brought by some monks back then. Buddhist monks also study medicine and medicine. These books were taken back to Tangzhuang's study by Xinjie for a long time, but the language barrier made him very troubled, and then after the incident of Lanxin, he left the country and never touched it again. The rest of the family siblings have not been touched. This girl has surprised him too much in the past two days, too much surprise. He didn't know what else would surprise him in her. He was curious about her.

She did look too intent, and she didn't notice until he came in. This set of books appealed to her too much. After the Queen Mother recruited her into the palace, she once sent someone to retrieve many medical books collected and compiled by her grandfather. She studied them one by one for the years she spent in the palace. Many of her grandfather's manuscripts contain medical theories that are very different from those recorded in traditional Chinese medical texts. She was puzzled in many places, and today she had just read a few pages of this Sanskrit medical book that she had accidentally found in her big study, and some of its contents were corroborated by the contents of the medical book written by her grandfather. Apparently her grandfather must have studied the contents of this set of books before, or something like that in Western medicine. But in her family's collection, Lian'er didn't find anything about it.

In the conversation with him later, she found that he didn't know the origin of the books, and that he had tried to study them, but because of the limited Sanskrit language, he couldn't read them in many places.

"I think a lot of the content in the book may supplement the deficiencies in Middle-earth medicine, but I can't understand Sanskrit in many places." "I can read Sanskrit, but there are things I can't understand." Lian'er is the opposite. "So you wrote the notes on the shelves in the study in Zhuangzi with those Sanskrit medicine books?"

"yes." He was a little embarrassed, because there were a lot of ghost drawings in it that he couldn't figure out.

"I thought some of the seniors wrote it, hehe. Then I really have to ask the third brother for advice. ”

This unexpected discovery opened up a major topic that they had been working on for a lifetime.

Later, sitting together after dinner and studying these medical books became an important activity for him and her.

In these discussions, there is no other distraction, no shyness, no embarrassment, and it is purely about the medical book and the medical technique.

He never asked her what she thought at the time, but he himself enjoyed it in the months that followed. He found that that was the life he wanted most.

Xinyue wanted to wait for the clothes to be ready before going back to Zhuangzi, anyway, her grandmother went to the temple to fast and didn't come back, so Xinjie decided to stay with them in the old house in the city for a few more days before returning to Tangzhuang. In this way, I also have a few more days of time to live alone in a small courtyard with Lian'er.

In the morning, they spend most of their time reading in the study, and in the afternoon and evening, Xinjie sometimes goes out to drink tea and wine with Ah Zhi and them, sometimes Xinjie goes by himself, and sometimes Xinyue will take Lian'er together. Since the last time they mentioned narcissus and red peony in front of Lian'er in Wufang Pavilion, it is estimated that Ah Zhi greeted the others later, and no one mentioned it when the two girls were there.

This night was their last meeting, because Ah Zhi's vacation was over, and he was going to Luoyang to take up his post the next day, Ah Zhi said to him sincerely: "Xinjie, you honestly say that you don't like the white girl. Xinjie didn't answer him quickly, he was thinking about this question himself. Brother, to be honest, you actually like her in your heart, don't you? Anyway, she's not your own sister, just your distant cousin, if you like it, hurry up and book it, this kind of thing can't be delayed, and you don't expect other girls to come to you. People are serious people. ”

"Ah Zhi, I know, the key is that I don't know if I really like her, in fact, I've only seen her for a few days, and I'm curious about her, but I can't say anything else. Not to mention, I don't know what she thinks. ”

"You're just too arrogant, and you're spoiled by those women. They all follow you. You must know that the white girl is different from them, she is a well-behaved girl, even if she likes it in her heart, she will not show it, let alone rush you up. ”

"Of course I do."

"Hold on to yourself, if you miss it, it's not easy to touch another lovely one, and you won't imagine that you will be like me for the rest of your life."

Xinjie is very grateful to Ah Zhi in his heart. They drank until late that night and didn't come back until late.

When I was walking in the courtyard, I looked at the moon and counted the hours, it should have been when Lian'er was practicing her sword dance again, and she was almost done. He found that this girl was very persistent, very serious, and persistent every day, and he didn't know how she practiced today.

He remembered Ah Zhi's words just now, and found that he did think of this girl often in the past few days. When he was still some distance away from the courtyard, he heard Lian'er humming a tune softly, listening to the movement of her footsteps, as if she was dancing to the song she was humming. The gate of the courtyard is not closed, and you can see the smart figure in the courtyard from a distance. He didn't want to alarm her, he stood from afar and watched her dance, he was very familiar with this butterfly love flower song and dance, in many places he saw people dance, but she must have changed it herself, more elegant than what she saw in the music square, but some chapters were happier. This reminded him of what she said a few days ago about dancing and flying, and it was obvious that she was flying with her heart. It wasn't until she stopped to take him in that he went into the courtyard. When she saw him return, she looked rather shy, apparently guessing that he might have seen her dance.

"Real butterflies are not as beautiful as you."

"Thank you! She looked even more shy, her head bowed slightly, and she looked very moving and sultry in the moonlight. He watched her speechless for a moment, and the desire to own her burned in his heart, and the desire in his heart grew stronger as her slightly messy hair fluttered. Especially the delicate red lips, which brought him a special temptation. Since the cancellation of Lan Xin's marriage, he has had countless women, but he has a habit of cleanliness to some extent, he has never taken the initiative to kiss any woman, he has never had any thoughts about women's lips, I don't know why at this moment, in addition to the air flow in his body, he also has a desire to hold the beautiful petals and taste them slowly.

"Happy today, drink a little more?" She quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, Ah Zhi is leaving tomorrow, and everyone is drinking more. I will not stand here anymore, lest the wine smoke you, and I will see you tomorrow. "He's going to get away before he can control himself.

She didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and sometimes he found her smile a little elusive, and sometimes a little scared, like she could see through his mind.

After returning to the room, Xinjie remembered Ah Zhi's words again, she was indeed different from those women, those women were dancing for the guests, she was obviously dancing to herself. The dancer's performance is to be seen, and she is shy to be seen. And she was quite alert, and if he had been standing there without speaking, it would have been difficult for him to guarantee what he would do, and maybe he would have actually rushed over and hugged her, and she must have sensed something, and gave him a step down the stairs that he had drunk too much. That little wine was really nothing to him, and it had long been exhausted on the way back, and the desire just now was not brought by the wine.

He found that he had never put so much thought into women, thinking before and after. Is he really in love with this girl? It's only been a few days since they've known each other, should he keep a little distance and think about it?

The next morning, everyone had just had breakfast, and the people at the door came to say that the children in the corner pastry shop must see Lian'er. It turned out that Shun'er told Qi'er that she hadn't left for the past few days, so they decided to hurry up and hold the banquet. This Qi'er is actually an orphan who came from begging for food, that is, the day after Lian'er saved Shun'er's mother and sister-in-law, Lian'er came out of the Baicaotang in Xianyang, bumped into Qi'er on the road, and when she helped him up, she found that the child was sick, so she asked him to sit at the door of the grain store on the side of the road, asked for water from the store, and gave him the pill she carried. The owner of the grain shop is also a kind-hearted person, and agreed to let Qi'er stay there for a few days, and later Qi'er helped deliver rice and noodles to various restaurants in the grain store, so he also met Shun'er of the pastry shop. The owner of the grain store felt that Qi'er, the child, was honest and clever, and he only had one daughter and no son, so he wanted to recognize him as his godson. Qi'er is grateful to Lian'er for saving him in the first place, and in any case, he wants to invite Lian'er over to set up wine together. Shun'er and Qi'er came to invite her. Lazy on the day of the new moon, saying that he is not feeling well, does not want to go out. Because of the concerns caused by the suspicion that he was really in love with this girl last night, Xinjie didn't want to go with her, but she sincerely invited him to accompany her, and he couldn't bear to refuse.

So that afternoon, he accompanied her out alone to the Wang family's banquet, and on the way Lian'er explained to him why they invited her there. He didn't seem to listen to any of this, and often just looked at her silently. When I got there, there were a lot of neighbors, and it was very lively, and it was crowded with people in a small tavern. At this time, he found out that Lian'er was actually from the palace, although she was kind, she could help the street children, help the neighbors, and relieve them, but she was not used to their too noisy and noisy scene. When they saw her, they thought they were seeing a fairy, but when there were too many strangers surrounding her, she was a little timid and unconsciously approached him. He now knew why she had to come with him, probably she had never been involved in such a thing herself, and had never seen such a scene before. Here, she is no longer a shrewd woman who can see into his mind, but a little woman who needs his protection. The floor of the small hotel was uneven, and Lian'er was stomped, and he quickly reached out to put his arm around her waist, which he did extremely naturally, and it felt good, and he kept this movement until they sat down. He knew that he was doing this, especially in public, and she was very shy, but he didn't want to let go, and she was just shy and didn't object. At the same time, he soon heard someone next to him secretly praising them as a very good match. He knew that this time he was not only reaching out to help, but also a judgment of his own feelings, and after this outreach, he could never get it back.

This action later became a habit when he was with her. Lian'er asked him many years later if he regretted helping her back then, and he didn't regret it, although after that, they went through a lot together, and he gave her a lot, but Lian'er also gave him everything she had, maybe he got it harder than his brothers and sisters, but he didn't regret it. The feeling of two people supporting each other along the way, no matter what they went through, he felt happy.

When they came out of there, it was already dark. Feeling the autumn mood obviously in the evening, Lian'er felt a little cool, shrunk her shoulders, He approached her again, gave her warmth, and naturally gently hugged her waist, She didn't object, silently followed him all the way back. Neither of them spoke along the way, and both were a little nervous, but a little happy.

It wasn't until they got to the courtyard where they lived, and sent her to the door of her hut to look at her, and although the night was dark, he could feel her face flush from shyness, and he wanted to have her, but he knew he couldn't.

"Lian'er, don't let other men get so close to you in the future."

"What did you say?" Her eyes were so big, and he realized he had fallen into them.

He hugged her softly, and hurried to his room. He knew he had to walk away, not because he was shy, but because he was a little unable to control himself. He was no longer a young man, and if he didn't leave her, he knew what he would do, and although he had seen her misty eyes just now, he couldn't hurt her. Maybe tomorrow, he should find a chance to talk to her and find out if she can really accept him.

But after the next day, let him know that if he can have his beloved sooner, don't wait, otherwise many experiences in the middle will almost make him lose her. Later, he once asked Lian'er what would happen to her if he wanted her that day, and she never answered directly, but he was willing to believe what his wife told him: "Born to wait for you." ”
