The sixth day of September is Yumei's sixteenth birthday.

There were a lot of guests in Xin's house, and Fan Jun came as promised, and formally asked Master Xin for marriage. Second, the two are childhood sweethearts and have a very good friendship.

Although the Fan family is in the middle of the road and both parents are dead, Fan Junwei is indeed a humble gentleman and a talent, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the top student in high school. This family affair was decided, and because of the coaxing of the guests, taking advantage of the excitement, even the wedding date was also set.

October 15. Yumi, who was in the inner courtyard, heard about the front hall, and blushed in a burst of laughter.

October 15.

She recited this day several times in her heart, and then secretly counted the days, and found that there were only more than a month.

Yue Yu means that as long as a month later, she will marry into the Fan Mansion and become the wife of Jun Wei's brother. From now on, she will be with him, day and night. They would recite poems together and swim in the landscape. They will give birth to a pair of lovely children, raise them to adulthood, and then, the children leave their respective lives, they are still together every day, hand in hand to watch the sunrise and sunset, until one day the two are dying of old age, their temples are gray, they lie in the yard, together to recall the childhood plum around the bamboo horse, the beginning of love, the spring blossoms.

What a happy life it must be.

Until late at night, the guests dispersed one after another, and the peace of Xin Mansion was restored. Master Xin was in high spirits, although he drank too much, he didn't fall asleep like usual, but clamored to drink another jar with Yumei's father and daughter, Yumei couldn't help it, so he relied on him.

The father and daughter sat on the stone bench in the middle courtyard and drank slowly with side dishes.

Xu promised his daughter's family affair today, and Master Xin was quite sad. first chattered about some old things, and then the conversation changed, and sighed again and again: "Xiaomei, Daddy is so scared, I'm so afraid that I chose the wrong person for you." ”

Where has Yumei seen her father's appearance, sad and fragile. He has always been a righteous gentleman who stands up to the sky, chic and dignified, and omnipotent.

Father, are you old?

When she realized this, she felt extremely distressed and worried, and immediately called: "Daddy." Then, she comforted: "Daddy, you grew up watching your brother, how could you choose the wrong one?" ”

Master Xin sighed and shook his head incessantly: "People are chosen by their father, but he is a showman, daughter, do you understand?" He's a showman! ”

When Yumei heard this, she thought that he was disgusted that Jun Wei was not yet famous for his brother, so she smiled and reminded: "Daddy, Jun Wei's brother is going to participate in the palace exam this year, and he is not a talent for a long time." Then, as if remembering something, she added: "Besides, what's wrong with Xiucai? Didn't you also show off your talent back then! ”

Hearing her say this, Master Xin seemed to be even more painful, and slowly shook his head, over and over again.

Yu Mei became more and more puzzled, but thinking that Xu is father had drunk too much and was no longer sober, so she persuaded him to go back to the room to rest: "Daddy, you see that it's so late, you can go back to the room to rest." After that, I was afraid that he wouldn't listen, so I said coquettishly: "If you don't stop, your daughter wants to rest too, but today I'm tired of my daughter." ”

Master Xin nodded and obediently responded.

Yumei called her aunt to help him back to the room, and her aunt trotted over, together with the maid, and helped Master Xin to the room, but Master Xin didn't follow, so he had to pull Yumei's hand: "Daughter! You have to remember, even if you are married, you have to live according to your own heart, if you want to practice medicine, we will practice medicine, if you want to play in the mountains and rivers, we will travel in the mountains and rivers, if Fan Jun dares to disobey you for that kid, we will ......"

As he spoke, he had tears in his eyes: "Let's divorce him, come home, Daddy will raise you!" ”

Daddy has always favored himself, but being as straightforward as this moment is something Yumei never thought of, and he was moved in his heart, thinking of him getting married at sunrise, and it would be difficult to say goodbye.

Then he cried: "Daddy......" also burst into tears.

The father and daughter hugged each other and simply cried loudly.

The aunt and the maid watched from the side, and they were also moved, and the two of them cried almost the same. The two of them helped one and went back to their rooms.

In the following days, the whole Xin Mansion was busy preparing for the wedding ceremony, and there was a lively celebration inside and outside the Xin Mansion.

On this day, it was September 29, Yumei and her father wrote the word "Xi" in the backyard, and her aunt led her subordinates to clean up, and the courtyard that was originally harmonious was suddenly broken by a noise.

A group of officers and soldiers rushed into the courtyard with shouting, and despite the obstruction of their subordinates, they passed through the antechamber and rushed into the middle courtyard.

The leader is Lord Zhang of the Criminal Department. Master Xin knew that there must be a big incident in the court, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to ask: "Is this ...... Why is that? Lord Zhang, please inform the lower officials. ”

"Lord Xin, someone has conspired against you and others for corruption and bending the law, forming a party for personal gain, and the prime minister has already reported to the emperor, and the emperor ordered us to arrest you and others, and ask Lord Xin to come with us!"

Without waiting for Master Xin to explain, with a wave of his right hand, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but say, escorting Master Xin and walking out.

Yu Mei reacted at this time, hurriedly stepped forward, followed Lord Zhang's side, and asked, "Lord Zhang, is this ...... What the hell is going on? My father is a good official, how can he, how can he be corrupt and pervert the law? ”

When Master Zhang heard this, he tilted at Yumei, and mocked: "Good official? There is no good official in this world! Then he shouted: "This official thinks that you are young and don't care about you, retreat quickly, otherwise you will be arrested and sentenced to a crime of disrespect!" ”

Yumei was frightened when she had never seen such a viciousness as an officer, but when she saw her father being escorted away, she was even more frightened, so she entangled herself again: "My lord, please, let me say a few words to my father." ”

Where did Master Zhang pay attention to her and threw her away.

When Master Xin saw it, he was worried that she would annoy the officers and soldiers, so he hurriedly shouted: "Xiaomei, don't worry, Daddy is wronged, the emperor will let Daddy come back if he finds out the case, don't worry!" ”

The shouts grew farther and weaker.

This group of officers and soldiers broke in like robbers, escorted the people, and drifted away, like the wind and clouds, leaving only a desolate courtyard.

Yumi stood there, stunned, as if sleepwalking, unable to believe what had just happened. It wasn't until "Ah......" that her aunt cried out that Yumei came back to her senses.

But she looked around, and the people were staring at her, but she had no idea.

Two young children came out of the inner room and staggered to their aunt, who saw them and took them in her arms, and wept even more sadly.

Yumei wanted to comfort her, but she was at a loss, and when her aunt cried like this, she was even more upset, so she wanted to cry too, so she remembered that Jun was coming for her brother, and seemed to ignite hope, so she ran out.

Jun is the elder brother, the gentleman is the elder brother, looking for the gentleman is the elder brother, he must have a way!

Thinking so in her heart, Yu Mei kept on her feet, ran all the way, and headed towards Fan's mansion.

However, when she was exhausted, ran to the door of Fan's Mansion and knocked on the door of Fan's Mansion, she was greeted not by Brother Junwei, who could make her collapse in her arms with peace of mind, but by Uncle Housekeeper.

When the uncle saw that it was her, he hurriedly greeted: "It's Miss Xin, it's really unfortunate, my son-in-law just went out and is not at home, is there anything wrong with you?" ”

She couldn't help but be a little disappointed and aggrieved, but the strong feeling of wanting to see Jun Wei's brother prompted her to hurriedly ask, "Do you know where he went?" ”

"Ouch, this old slave doesn't know, but I heard that something big seems to have happened in Beijing today, and many old men have suffered, so I inquired about it...... Oh no, Xu went to your house? ”

Went to my house, went to my house.

Hearing him say this, the tears that swirled in Yumei's eyes finally burst out of her eyes.

Went to my house, yes, it must have been Jun who worried about me for my brother and went to my house.

Thinking like this, she didn't bother to say goodbye to the butler, and ran back again.

The two families are separated by most of the capital, and the old men who are soldiers are tired of running a trip, and Yumei is just a female stream, although she often crawls around in the mountains because of the collection of medicine, but this continuous running back and forth, the body is already extremely tired, and it is all supported by the belief of "I want to see you as my brother".

When she finally dragged her unconscious legs back to Xinfu, it was already late at night.

Xiao Yu, who had been waiting at the door, saw her, and hurriedly ran down to greet her, crying: "Miss, where have you been, Miss, I'm scared to death Xiaoyu!" ”

"Jun is the elder brother...... Jun is the elder brother......"

Yumei's mouth was dry and she couldn't speak, but she was still muttering. Xiao Yu approached her, listened for a long time, and finally heard her words clearly, and replied, "Miss, what did you say?" Fan Gongzi is not here. ”

"What?!"

No matter what Ren Yumei thought, she didn't expect that the person she wanted to meet was not here when she ran as hard as she could, and she wanted to meet.

No, he must be here, or ...... She, like herself, came and went back to me.

Thinking like this, she lifted her spirits a little more and asked, "When did he leave?" ”

Xiaoyu was stunned by the question, but still said the truth: "Miss, what did you say?" Fan Gongzi has never been here, what do you mean to leave? You're tired, take a break. ”

Yumei repeated vaguely: "I haven't been here." ”

Then, I understood the meaning of these words, and then shouted angrily: "What do you mean that you haven't been here!?" How could he not have come! ”

What does it mean to have not been here?

yes, what do you mean you haven't been here?

What the? Called never came.

Xiaoyu didn't know why, frightened, and took two steps back.

When the aunt who came to hear the sound saw it, she understood a little, walked over to support Xiaoyu, reached out to help Yumei sit down, and comforted: "He has been here, but there is something in the house, and he went back." If you're tired, drink a glass of water first, and he'll come to see you tomorrow. ”

Yumei looked at her aunt, then obediently took a sip of water, then smiled slightly and fainted.

I woke up the next day.

Since Yumi woke up, she sat on the big threshold, and she waited for a long time. The aunt couldn't look past it and came over to persuade her: "You don't have to wait any longer, he won't come." ”

Yumei glanced at her aunt, frowned and asked, "What do you mean that he won't come, didn't you say it, auntie, will he come today?" ”

The aunt snorted, "I lied to you." ”

Yumei was stunned for a while, then suddenly became angry and shouted: "What do you mean, what do you mean by lying to me, what are you lying to me?!" ”

Seeing that she was angry, my aunt couldn't suppress the fire after holding back it for a day, and instantly lit it, and scolded angrily: "It means that I lied to you all about it!" He didn't come to the house yesterday, let alone come to see you today! After a pause, he sneered, "Do you know what that means?" I'll explain it to you again, which means that he didn't put you at ease at all! Yesterday, there was such a big event in Beijing, if he had a heart, he would have come to you a long time ago! Why do you need to seek him, if he does not come, he does not have you in his heart! What else are you counting on him, what are you counting on him?! You idiot! ”

This angry scolding is like beating a bird in the mountains, and after the bird flies, it is a terrifying tranquility.

After a long time, I saw Yu Meiwan smile and said softly: "I don't believe it." With that, he turned around neatly, walked out steadily, and went in the direction of Fan's Mansion again.
