Chapter 286: Returning Home
That is, in fact, I am still sick....
Lu Yan only felt cold hands and feet.
"If my wife's depression can't be resolved, I'm afraid it will be more serious." The doctor whispered, "It's a disease of hard work. ”
"Then it's a quick cure." Lu Yan squeezed out the words from between his teeth. The green tendons of the hand holding the prescription exploded.
"Heart disease still needs heart medicine." The doctor sighed and said, "Many soldiers in our army have some inner depression after daily training and going into battle to kill the enemy, according to the Qianjin prescription, we recommend adding licorice and cinnamon to the diet, after Lord Wang Mo knew about it, he assigned a deputy town officer to each battalion..."
Lu Yan naturally agreed to this matter, he was concerned about his wife's illness, and he didn't know what this doctor was doing when he suddenly pulled this out, but he had the habit of not interrupting people's speech, so he still listened carefully.
"This deputy town magistrate is not as majestic as the town magistrate, he is not beaten or punished, but he is very kind with a smile, and he always talks to everyone, asking if there is anything happy or unhappy at home, and he even asks if the two of them are fighting, and he also comes up with ideas to comfort everyone, and he is simply the most popular person in the army." The doctor said with a smile.
Lu Yan smiled slightly, and then he came over suddenly.
"You're saying that my wife is actually still angry with me in her heart, that's why..." He said, his face darkened.
"My wife doesn't really want to do this in her heart, but this kind of anxiety is also a disease, and if it is a disease, it is not what you want." The doctor sighed and said, "Mrs. has suffered a lot this time, so please let Mrs. untie the knot as soon as possible." ”
Lu Yan nodded, watching the doctor retreat, he looked down at the prescription, and then looked at the room.
Inside, Liu Meibao was hugging Rou'er and smiling, Lu Fang also came in at some point, lying on the edge of the bed and not knowing what to fiddle with, and the conversation between the mother and son came from time to time. It looks warm and warm.
Everything is normal during the day, but Liu Meibao can't sleep at night.
Lu Fang no longer has nightmares, so Lu Yan asked Zhao Niangzi and his wife to take him to sleep, Lu Fang was naturally unwilling, Lu Yan said good things for a day and promised many requests to persuade his son.
Every night, Lu Yan would fall asleep with Liu Meibao in her arms, if she couldn't sleep and didn't want to lie down, Lu Yan would hold her hand and sit with her.
"Don't worry about it, why are you going through it with me." Liu Meibao sighed and said.
"You boiled it for me. Why can't I boil it for you. Lu Yan took her hand and took her into his arms.
Liu Meibao didn't speak anymore, and she didn't like to talk now, so she always sat in silence all night.
"Mabel, I'll play a tune for you." Lu Yan said suddenly.
"Will you?" Liu Meibao looked at him and asked.
"Yes, you wait." Seeing that she was interested, Lu Yan got up happily, flipped over on the kang, removed a piece from the mat, and then sat next to Liu Meibao.
A slightly shrill voice suddenly sounded.
"It's been a long time since I blew it." Lu Yan said with a smile. A little embarrassed, "I still learned it from Brother Guizi when I was a child." ”
Brother Guizi is in the ear. Liu Meibao couldn't help but think of Xie Siniang and the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.
In this world, you think you are miserable, but in fact there will always be people who are more miserable than you.
Liu Meibao looked at Lu Yan and saw that he was testing a little awkwardly, and after blowing away a few out-of-tune sounds, he finally found his senses.
Lu Yan put the mat to his lips again.
A shrill but crisp voice echoed through the room, and he blew slowly. More and more proficient, the voice is getting louder and louder, coming out of the house and spreading in the cold winter night.
The Liu Meibao he played sounded somewhat familiar. After listening to it for a while, I remembered that when Xie County was besieged by the Tartars that year, Lu Yan was encouraged to sing the song when he sang in public.
Liu Meibao listened, and gradually his expression soothed.
.......That's our terrible second sister.....
.......You're on that girdle of yours, brother, I'm in that ditch.....
....... you take a fancy to your brother and sister, you beckon....
…… Our terrible second sister....
It has been March since Lu Yan and his entourage returned to Taiyuan Mansion.
They entered the city silently, and not many people knew what they were doing.
Entering the door, Liu Meibao and Lu Fang had a momentary sense of strangeness, and both mother and son stopped at the door.
After hard work, Rou'er, who was finally willing to let Lu Yan hold her, was very curious about the new environment, and looked around curiously in Lu Yan's arms.
Lu Yan took Liu Meibao's hand and held it tightly.
Liu Meibao smiled at him and pulled Lu Fang into the door.
Lu Fang had already recovered his strength, broke free of Liu Meibao's hand and flew in like a bird.
"Iron Spoon, come, I'll show you my little turtle." He shouted, "Is my little turtle still alive?" ”
The butler followed him, and he was about to cry with joy but desperately tried to hold back his strange look.
"Alive, alive, my little master, alive and well." He replied loudly.
I don't know if it's a turtle or Lu Fang, Liu Meibao couldn't help laughing.
The iron spoon wiped his nose from the shock of such a mansion, and the word turtle occupied all his interest, and immediately followed.
"You damn, don't run around." Zhao Niangzi hurriedly shouted, looking at this large mansion, she only felt that her eyes were not enough.
walked step by step, but saw pavilions, courtyards, courtyards, and decorations that she had never seen before.
"Compared with this, the Yang family's house is simply a dirt bag." She whispered to Zhao Laohan.
"What is the Yang family, this is Taiyuan Mansion, and the son-in-law is Taiyuan Mansion..."Zhao Laohan's man family has more knowledge than women, along the way, he has asked Lu Yan's identity, although he is still a little confused about those official positions or something, but at least he knows Lu Yan's status in Taiyuan.
Looking at the two fingers stretched out by the old man, Aunt Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What a big official?" She stammered.
"It's the second product." Zhao Laohan said in a low voice, unconsciously looking majestic.
Zhao Niangzi also didn't know much about this official position, but she was still shocked, anyway, the higher the status of the front row, the second rank, that is not far from the first, it is almost the sky.
When Liu Meibao entered the door, the servants of the house did not cry out in ecstasy, they seemed to have been ordered. Except for the few who were in charge of close service, everyone else had their own duties.
"Ma'am." A mother-in-law who was sweeping the courtyard didn't have time to retreat, and when she saw Liu Meibao and her party coming, her face was excited, her hand holding the broom trembled gently, she bowed down to salute, and did not kneel and cry.
"Madam, some clothes and materials for spring ploughing have been delivered. Mrs. Afternoon? A woman came over with a smile and asked.
Liu Meibao nodded.
Walking to the main room of the inner house, the two girls standing under the porch hurriedly got up and opened the curtains.
"My wife is back." They said in unison.
Everything doesn't seem to have happened, it seems that she Liu Meibao just came back from watching a play with a few official wives.
From beginning to end, Lu Yan's hand held Liu Meibao tightly.
Entering the house, one girl came forward to take the couple's large cloak, and the other held a copper basin of hot water.
Liu Meibao slowly washed her hands, wiped her face gently, and then tentatively stretched out her hand to the right.
A teacup was handed to her with unmistakable accuracy.
Liu Meibao withdrew the hand that was held by Lu Yan.
"Alright, you hurry up, I'll clean up at home." She smiled at him.
"Daddy's place has been arranged." Lu Yan said.
Zhao Laohan and his wife, who were staring at the room here, hurriedly waved their hands and saluted when they heard the voice, saying that there was no need to bother.
"Go ahead, and do some business." Liu Meibao said with a smile. "Let's go check it out first, and we'll talk about family affairs in the evening."
Lu Yan nodded and said hello. He said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Zhao again, and then went out.
Liu Meibao slowly sat down in her usual seat, everything was settled, she exhaled softly.
When Lu Yan walked into the courtyard after finishing his work, the silence of the night had already been laid out, and the lights in the main hall were warmly lit in the early spring night.
The part where Liu Meibao was not there. The lights in the room were on like this, but the light was full of despair.
The maid and maid had been sent down as always, and Lu Yan pushed the door in. The heat of the fire made a layer of mist form in front of his eyes, and then he saw Liu Meibao on the big kang standing up.
"I'm back." She said with a smile as she reached out to take the cloak he had unfastened.
Lu Yan took her in his arms.
"You are busy with official business, you can't follow me like this, I can make up for some sleep during the day, but you can't." Liu Meibao said, "You should go to sleep, otherwise, I will be uneasy in my heart, and it will be even worse." ”
Lu Yan looked at her and nodded.
"Okay." He kissed Liu Meibao's forehead, "I'm here, don't be afraid if you want to sleep or not." ”
Liu Meibao smiled.
"I'm not afraid, what am I afraid of." She shook her head.
Lu Yan didn't speak again, took his clothes and went to wash.
After washing, come and say goodnight to her again.
"Mabel, come over when you want to sleep, don't be afraid to wake me up and sleep outside." He hugged her again and said.
Liu Meibao nodded, and urged him to go quickly with a smile.
Lu Yan squeezed her eyes at her and went to the bedroom.
Liu Meibao was a little baffled by his last look, stood for a moment, poured himself a glass of white water, and just sat on the kang to continue reading the medicine book, and snapped out something from in front of him.
She looked down and saw that it was an envelope.
Was it Lu Yan who stuffed it to himself? Liu Meibao reached out and picked it up, and when she saw that it was an envelope, what the hell was going on, she hesitated for a moment and opened it.
"Mei Bao: I'm really busy in the yamen today, just listening to Wang Mo said it's enough to listen to it for two hours, I forgot to eat, the master came, I saw him come in, let him see me write a letter, he will definitely nag, I'll write to you later, Mei Bao, I'm back, we went to eat together just now, the big pot of stew sent by the Huotou Army in the barracks, speaking of meat, I only learned today that the pork here has risen to 300 Wen per catty, so calculated, the pig farms in Hedong are all money......"
Seeing this, Liu Meibao couldn't help pursing her lips and laughing, shook her head again, and put down the letter in her hand in a daze.
After a moment, she sat down in a different position, turned the light on a little, and then read the letter in her hand.
The cold wind outside the house gradually subsided.
