Chapter 11: Another Three Years
It's a hot summer day, and the sun seems to want to evaporate all the water.
Bai Zheng was explaining the secret skills of the Bai family's medicine to his little granddaughter Bai Yale.
Da-da-da-da
There was the sound of rushing running outside the door.
A medicine farmer dressed in gray appeared in front of the door, and he reverently knelt on the ground and shouted a loud report.
"Old lady, someone from Fucheng is here!"
Bai Zheng felt something in his heart, the two white sword eyebrows were upside down, and the wheat-colored rough fingers were tightly pinching the account book, but his voice was unusually calm, and he said, "Got it!" Let's go down! ”
"Yes! Old gentleman! ”
The medicine farmer maintained a kneeling posture and took five steps back before standing up, bending down and bowing back until he could not see the door.
Bai Zheng didn't want to leak too much in front of his little granddaughter, he tried his best to relax his whole body and keep his face natural.
It was both expected and unexpected that the news came so quickly.
He stood up, walked up to Bai Yale, and squatted down.
He looked straight at the clear eyes of his little granddaughter, and said tentatively: "Lele, grandpa is going back to Fucheng!" ”
"Then is Grandpa going to take Lele there?"
Bai Yale bravely looked directly into her grandfather's wise eyes, she could see herself in her grandfather's eyes, and she still remembered what her grandfather said before.
"Yes, is Lele willing to go back to Fucheng with his grandfather?"
Bai Zheng's heart was very complicated, on the one hand, he hoped that this clever and well-behaved little granddaughter would go back with him, and on the other hand, he selfishly wanted her to remain so innocent.
"Is Daddy with Mom?"
Bai Yale still asked the same question, her big eyes flashed with something called stubbornness, and she looked at her grandfather with a persistent face!
Bai Zheng looked at the little granddaughter's clear and stubborn eyes, which were a pure heart.
Rare and precious!
In contrast, he is so selfish, even at the expense of his own son and grandson in order to achieve his goals.
His throat was suddenly a little thirsty, his eyes were a little astringent, and his thin trembling lips were difficult to speak.
"They can't, they have their responsibilities, they have to defend Nanxi Town for the Bai family."
"Then Lele don't go to Fucheng!"
Bai Yale looked taken for granted and had a very resolute attitude.
Where there are no parents, it is not home; Even if she loses a lot, then she doesn't want anything, she has to stay with her parents and doesn't want to leave them, because that's the only concern she has in the world.
Call~
Bai Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but also felt a little regretful.
"That's good! Lele will stay in Nanxi Town!
Wait, wait until you and Lu go back to Fucheng! How's it with your dad and mom and d'n-in-law? ”
Bai Yale narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and smiled slightly.
"Okay, grandpa!"
"Hehehe!" Bai Zheng was relieved to see the cute and sincere little granddaughter.
Although he has more than one granddaughter, only Lele is not afraid of him (big mistake), and only Lele is the true temperament.
"Before that, you have to memorize and write the "Baicaolu" and "New Law Cultivation" written by your great-grandfather, and when you come to Fucheng, your grandfather will inspect it!"
"Okay! Grandpa~"
As soon as she heard the endorsement and writing, Bai Yale was sad, and she replied weakly.
Suddenly, there was a click......
The sound of steady and short footsteps came.
A moment later, a cavalry soldier in green clothes and a bronze belt came to the door.
I saw that he looked serious and meticulous, and saluted Bai Zheng without squinting.
"Mr. Bai, the Lord is invited!"
"Please wait a moment."
"Yes!"
The cavalryman in green clothes and bronze belts stood at the door with a serious face.
Bai Yale was very curious, she secretly looked at the comer.
Wow ⊙∀⊙!
The first time she saw a soldier!
It's really imposing, and there's an indescribable taste.
Bai Zheng looked helplessly at his little granddaughter who was deserting, and couldn't help but flick her forehead.
Bai Yale was caught, covering her forehead and smiling.
Bai Zheng once again told Bai Yale to endorse carefully, practice calligraphy diligently, and go to the pharmacy every three days to learn to recognize herbs.
When she came to Fucheng, he personally inspected it.
Time was pressing, and the group sat in a carriage and staggered back to Nanxi Town.
The grandfather left Xiaoqing behind and followed Bai Yale, urging the little granddaughter to hurry up and learn pharmacology and not waste time.
He personally sent Bai Yale back to the other courtyard and returned it to his son and daughter-in-law.
He gave a few words, and then left the town at twilight and rushed to Fucheng.
Bai Yale returned to that kind of life like being in prison in an instant.
Get up in the morning and read and recite the "Baicaolu".
In the afternoon, she began to learn to paint red and work as a female worker.
The sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and another three years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The grandfather who was far away in Fucheng didn't come, but occasionally asked the servant to bring some Fucheng gadgets over for Bai Yale to play.
Bai Yale, who is particularly fast in height, can vaguely see the shadow of the girl.
At this time, she was wearing a pink robe, a golden belt, and a pink lower skirt, standing under the old tree with a depressed face.
I finally wanted to climb a tree to breathe, but I was caught again.
It's been very boring for the past three years, and even the rice has become very boring.
Behind her, a tall woman in a blue-gray outfit stood and persuaded seriously: "Miss Nine, you haven't been able to recite the "New Law Cultivation" yet, please move to the study now." ”
"Xiaoqing, look, how beautiful the flowers of this old peach tree are! Such a beautiful festival, endorsing or something is too boring, wasting this beautiful spring day in vain. ”
Bai Yale looks at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, the gentle orange sunshine, with green leaves and red flowers, a good picture of a spring girl.
"Miss Nine, you said the same thing yesterday." The cold voice shattered the beautiful picture.
Bai Yale sighed and walked to the study resignedly.
So depressed! (︶︿︶)
She lay on the desk, erected the yellow book, looked at the complex traditional characters inside, and let out a long sigh.
"Alas......"
It's been six years, and I still can't adapt to this complex traditional Chinese character.
"The spleen and stomach are deficient, and I don't think about eating.
Use 1 coin of ginseng, 2 coins of atractylodes, 1 cocos of poria, 5 points of boiled licorice, 3 slices of ginger, 1 jujube, add 2 cups of water, fry to 1 cup, and warm before meals......"
A lazy voice rang out in the study.
Outside the window, a spotted bird flapped its wings, landed on the branch of the peach tree, tilted its head left and right to scan it, fluttered for a moment, picked up the flesh worm in the flower and flew away.
Only the flower branches are left swaying in the air.
Two or three petals float to the earth.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Bai Yale fell asleep with the breeze, the fragrance of flowers, and the song of birds.
Xiaoqing smiled helplessly, and she tapped lightly at the dozing rice.
Rice woke up from her dream in an instant, covered her forehead, and looked at Aunt Xiaoqing with a frightened expression.
Xiao Qing rolled his eyes and looked at Bai Yale's back, Nunu's mouth.
Rice woke up instantly, trotted to the side room, took out a thin blanket, and gently covered Bai Yale.
In early spring, although it is not cold, it is slightly cool.
