Chapter XVII: Last Year, Today
My mother finally returned home.
Seeing that Li Xiangyu was back to normal, the mother didn't seem to be much surprised, touched Li Xiangyu's head, and handed him a letter and a bottle of elixir.
I wanted to ask my mother what she was doing when she went out, but before she could speak, her mother entered the house.
Lee Sang-woo had no choice but to give up.
The letter in his hand was written by the second brother.
"Third brother, my brother heard that your mother said that you are sick, but the old man is always not suitable to go down the mountain, it is not suitable to go down the mountain, so he has no choice but to bring you some pills. Originally, I wanted to give you a few exercises to strengthen your body, but my mother didn't let me. Brother is going to learn divination now, and when he learns it, he should be able to go down the mountain, third brother, take care. ”
The letter was not long, and there were still a few traces of smearing. Lee Sang-woo read it quickly.
The mother turned out to go to Sanqing Mountain.
After thinking about it, Li Xiangyu read the letter in his hand again. There seems to be a lot of information in the letter, some of which are understood, and some of which are not. Reaching out to touch the head of the little white dog who was spinning around boringly next to him, Li Xiangyu sighed lightly: "It turns out that my mother is also a person with secrets." ”
......
For many days, as long as Li Shizhen didn't go out, Li Xiangyu always came to chat with him, and when he was late to chat, he fell asleep, which was very speculative.
During the period, talking about his poor health since he was a child, Li Shizhen generously taught a set of five poultry plays. At the beginning, Li Xiangyu was extremely excited, thinking that it was a legendary cultivation cheat, but after practicing for a few days, he didn't feel anything, and his interest suddenly decreased greatly, but fortunately, Li Xiangyu was not a person without perseverance, and Li Shizhen persuaded him. I persevered, and I took the time to practice it twice a day.
The eldest sister's eyes still haven't improved, and she took Li Shizhen to see it a few times, but she still needs to recuperate, which makes Li Xiangyu a little worried, but there is nothing she can do but look anxious.
On this day, Li Shizhen is leaving.
Originally, I wanted to stay with Li Shizhen for a few more days and leave when the weather was warmer next year. Brother-in-law Lu Guan even proposed to build the largest medical hall in Dai'an County, just thinking that Li Shizhen could stay for a long time.
It's a pity that Li Shizhen is very resolute, seeing this, the two of them, together with Lu Liuliu, who came when he was free, had to reluctantly see him off.
When he was sent to the city gate, Li Xiangyu wanted to write a few poems like "Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows the king", but he really felt bored, so he gave up after thinking about it. just took out the silver ticket he was carrying, and felt that it was not enough, so he took out the silver ticket on Lu Liuliu's body and handed it to Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen did not shirk, took the silver ticket and put it away, put it away, put the new robe presented by Li Xiangyu on his body, bent over to make a sound, and turned around freely.
Li Shizhen walked very slowly, the big bamboo basket pressed his body a little rickety, and he was holding the ordinary wooden stick in his hand, although he was slow, he walked very steadily, and he walked farther and farther.
Looking at the back that was gradually moving away, Li Xiangyu was stunned.
Treasure.
......
After Li Shizhen left, Li Xiangyu, who had no small talk object, became a little idle.
In the past, the mother didn't take care of things, and some parents worried about Li Xiangyu, but now there are four more maids at home, not only should the trivial matters be taken care of tightly and orderly, Qiuzhu is following him all day long, and he can't wait to eat to help feed to his mouth.
Occasionally, he accompanied Lu Liuliu to stay in the Spring Courtyard twice, and with the experience of drinking a little wandering wreckage last time, Li Xiangyu stopped tasting it at a shallow level, which made Lu Liuliu feel very boring. In the meantime, he also went to Liuguang Temple to ask for a cup of tea, and the great virtue of doing hardship is still the same, it seems that it will never change, and he didn't say anything like Su Hui and Buddha, just chatting, so that Li Xiangyu looked at the little brother of Yongkong Yongjie and felt much more lively.
The eldest sister's eyes still haven't improved, which makes Li Xiangyu very worried. After visiting him a few times, he became more and more uneasy, but there was really nothing he could do, and his brother-in-law always talked about him on this topic, which made Li Xiangyu faintly feel that there was something, but he didn't dare to think about it.
Approaching the month of Layue, the eldest brother entrusted someone to carry a letter saying that he had the evaluation of a certain adult in the Jixia School Palace that "the development is slightly insufficient, and the success is more than enough", so he resigned from the errand in the court and entered the school palace to be a master who taught, and then expressed his shame as usual that he could not serve his mother, and finally persuaded himself to participate in next year's autumn festival.
This made Lee Sang-woo quite excited.
After feeling a serious illness, Lee Sang-woo, who was much better than in previous years, asked his mother and answered his eldest brother in a reply.
Knowing that Li Xiangyu was going to take the autumn exam in the coming year, Lu Liuliu was very reluctant, and it was said that after returning home, he made a big fuss, and he didn't eat every day, and in the end, even the old lady of the Lu family, who had not asked anything for a long time, was alarmed. In the end, under the old lady's decision, the head of the Lu family personally went to Jinan Mansion, but on seven or eight days, he really brought back a qualification for Lu Liuliu to enter the Tribute Academy.
This made Li Xiangyu very emotional about the Lu family's financial resources, and felt that no matter where it was, money could really reach the sky.
In Layue, most of the private schools in the county have been suspended, and groups of children on the street from time to time laugh and run by, which is much more lively at once. Some generous people put on brand-new red lanterns early, and there are many more small merchants and vendors selling New Year's goods on the street, which makes people slowly feel the flavor of the New Year.
decided to take the autumn exam, Li Xiangyu finally had something to do, and began to read some scriptures that he didn't like very much every day, and played Professor Li Shizhen's five-bird drama in his spare time, and he had a fulfilling life.
......
On the twentieth day of the lunar month, the family began to pack up and go back to Xingyu Village to worship their ancestors for the New Year.
In previous years, my mother was not very careful, my younger brother and sister were young, and only Li Xiangyu cleaned it up alone, but this year I have four little maids, which is much easier.
The group packed up and returned to Xingyu Village just after noon.
The house has not been occupied for a long time, and it has become a little dilapidated. The four little maids were busy cleaning, Li Xiangyu originally wanted to help clean up together, but the maids begged not to allow it, and Li Xiangyu had to give up.
After lunch, Li Xiangyu went out to visit several gentlemen, and learned that Li Xiangyu was going to take the Qiuqiu exam in the coming year.
Leaving from Mr. Goodbye, the hour was still early, and Li Xiangyu took Xiaobai to Beishan with a ghost.
There is no change in Beishan, maybe there is a change, but Li Xiangyu can't see it, he only remembers that he has never been lost in the woods again.
Standing stunned for a long time, Li Xiangyu left silently.
......
Twenty-three, sacrifice to the stove master.
The companion has already been written, and Lee Sang-woo quietly folds the yellow table and makes a horse with straw, just like the big brother many years ago.
The younger brother Li Xiangze watched curiously from the side.
When he was about to put the sugar melon as a sacrifice, Li Xiangze suddenly reached out and grabbed it, and when he picked it up, he wanted to put it in his mouth.
Li Xiangyu couldn't let him eat it, so he snatched the sugar melon back from him.
"I can't eat this right now. ”
Hearing this, Li Xiangze was sullen, looked at Li Xiangyu with coquettish eyes, and saw that Li Xiangyu had no intention of returning it to him, so he snorted and turned around and wanted to leave.
Li Xiangyu stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and asked, "Why are you going?"
Li Xiangze was silent, twisting his body from side to side to break free.
"You have to watch it well, you will have to do it in the future. Lee Sang-woo said.
"Whoever wants to do it, I won't do it, third brother, you let go of me!" Li Xiangze was even more unhappy and said arrogantly.
Li Xiangyu was a little angry, raised his hand and wanted to slap him, but he was not willing, he pressed Li Xiangze's writhing body hard, and said seriously: "Xiangze, my father and the eldest brother and the second brother are not at home, and the third brother will leave home next year, and you are the only man left in the family, who will do it if you don't do it?"
Li Xiangze was silent, but there was a coquettish expression of disbelief on his face.
Li Xiangyu sighed, let go of his hand and carefully sorted out Li Xiangze's somewhat wrinkled clothes due to twisting, and then patted Li Xiangze's shoulder.
"Aizawa, you have to be sensible. ”
Seeing that the third brother was unhappy, Li Xiangze nodded subconsciously.
Li Xiangyu stopped talking, and suddenly remembered the eldest brother and second brother he hadn't seen for a long time.
Last year in this door, this year in this door.
Who is in this door in the coming year?
......
"Bang!"
"It's a good year!"
