Since he was separated from Leng Tiehu and Shi Xiaoshu at the gate of the Tang Mansion that day, Su Yu was bedridden when he returned home.

His mind always comes to mind the scene of watching a play in Shun'an on that autumn night.

Leng Xueni's eyes fascinated him, and his smile made him reminisce. I was impressed by her gestures.

For months, when he didn't find Xueni, he could still wait calmly, secretly hoping for it.

But now, when I heard that Xue Ni was dead, such a beautiful girl said that she was gone.

The death of Xiangxiao Yu came so suddenly, so irreversibly.

Growing so big, nothing really moved him.

A strange girl, who never said a word to him, and didn't have any skin-to-skin blind date, made him haunted by dreams and couldn't stop.

Su Yu lay in bed for many days. I don't eat tea, I don't want to eat.

Su Zixuan invited Gu Qingquan to check his pulse, and the old Chinese medicine doctor said that there was nothing wrong, so he was in a hurry, and he would take a few pairs of medicines to recuperate.

However, those medicines did not work very well. The person has lost a lot of weight, his face is discolored, and his body is weak.

went to invite Gu Qingquan again, but the old doctor did not come, but sent his apprentice Lu Qi over.

Lu Qi neither took the pulse nor prescribed medicine, but chatted with Su Yu. For a few days in a row, the effect was not bad.

Su Yu can get out of bed and eat something, or he can sit in the garden and watch the fish.

Sometimes, Lu Qi accompanied him to talk about the situation in China. It's too messy to talk about.

Sometimes, they will talk about some historical stories, future ideas, and life insights.

Perhaps because of love, the traditional ideas rooted in Su Yu's heart are sometimes shaken.

"You say, what is the meaning of human life?" Su Yu's hand never left the folding fan, "Like an ant, born unconsciously, busy all his life, and died unconsciously, it's really not interesting." ”

Lu Qi said: "It is not easy for people to come to the world, so they should cherish it, live well, and live a worthwhile life." ”

Su Yu said: "What is living well, and how to live a worthwhile life?" Is it as the sage said, to establish virtue, to make words, and to make meritorious deeds? ”

"I don't know what to do here, I just know, learn medical skills, cure diseases and save people. Then he married and had children, supported the elderly, and taught the children. It's good to live like this. ”

Lu Qi's words are simple and hopeful.

Su Yu said: "Cure the disease and save people, marry a wife and have children." Is this the truth of being alive? I want to be an outsider who loves the landscape. Go up the mountain to collect medicine and alchemy, go down the mountain and travel all over the world, come and go freely, without disturbing the world or causing trouble to anyone. ”

Lu Qi said: "You are the backbone of an immortal." I can only admire and envy, but I can't learn. ”

While the two were talking, a teenager ran in.

Lu Qi saw that he was the second son of Taihetang's primary school apprentice.

"Senior brother, the master asked you to go to Chang Gung Bookstore." Ershunzi said.

"What task has the master assigned?"

"The master asked you to settle the accounts for these three months, get back the cotton yarn and honey you ordered last time, and order some butter paper."

Lu Qi got up and said goodbye to Su Yu: "Master Su, I'll talk about life with you another day." ”

Su Yu stood up from the bamboo chair and arched his hand: "Brother Lu Qi, please." We look forward to seeing you again. ”

Lu Qi came to Chang Gung Bookstore alone and saw that the bookstore was lit up and festive.

He didn't care about these things, he just wanted to reconcile with Boss Lu and take a look at Feng Juan by the way.

Lu Qi came to the bookstore almost every month to do goods, and sometimes he came with his master to see Boss Lu.

After coming and going, I became familiar with Boss Lu's daughter Fengjuan.

Lu Qi admires Feng Juan's hard-working and kind character, as well as her ability to manage the two shops.

Feng Juan didn't say anything in her mouth, and she also liked Lu Qi in her heart.

Every time they met, Lu Qi always tried to stay in the store for a while.

Sometimes, Feng Juan would also go to Taihetang to see Lu Qi under the pretext of seeing a doctor.

The hearts of the two young men grew closer and closer. None of them thought that the marriage was not up to them.

Boss Lu, he has his plans.

As a businessman, the first thing he calculates is business, whether it is a loss or a profit, he must calculate it clearly.

Even if it is the fate of his only daughter, he also calculates his interests first, and then considers his daughter's happiness.

When Lu Qi found Boss Lu, the boss was directing people to hang lanterns under the eaves.

Before Lu Qi could speak, Boss Lu smiled and said, "Doctor Lu is here." Your order is ready, and I will get it for you right away. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, you are busy first." Lu Qi said: "What is the happy event? It's so lively. ”

Boss Lu smiled: "Feng Juan is getting married." Although this house is shabby, you still have to dress up. ”

When Lu Qi heard this, his mind went blank. What's going on?

When he came, he was still thinking about how to meet Feng Juan and how to say something emotional and unobtrusive to her.

If you don't pay attention, why did Feng Juan get married?

He hated himself for not telling the master earlier and letting the master come to propose.

He was also suspicious that those interactions with Feng Juan at the beginning might just be normal business dealings. Maybe Feng Juan didn't take him seriously at all.

Lu Qi's mind was so confused that he even forgot that he was here to reconcile.

He stood in the courtyard in a daze, watching the crowd happily do this and that.

His ears didn't seem to hear anything, and the figures swaying in front of him seemed to be marionettes.

"Doctor Lu, let's go, I'll help you get something." Boss Lu finally finished the work at hand.

"Oh, oh, good." Lu Qi woke up from his trance, "Otherwise, you're busy, I'll find Feng Juan to get it." ”

Lu Qi didn't know how he said this.

"Feng Juan, she, she's cleaning herself up in the house."

Boss Lu took Lu Qi to the grocery store and handed over the two boxes that had been packed in advance to Lu Qi.

Lu Qi picked up the goods and said in a wooden voice: "Goodbye." ”

As soon as he walked out of the store, he remembered to reconcile the accounts again, and hurriedly said, "Boss Lu, it's time to settle the accounts for the past few months." ”

Boss Lu said: "Don't worry, don't worry, wait until you're busy in the next few days." With that, he walked quickly to the bookstore.

Lu Qi was like being poured a basin of cold water, and instantly remembered what Su Yu said. Life is really not interesting. The so-called healing of the sick and saving people, marrying a wife and having children are nothing but their own delusions.

How could Boss Lu take a fancy to a junior apprentice like him? How could Feng Juan marry him?

Lu Qi left Chang Gung Bookstore with two boxes in his hand, and inadvertently looked up at the window on the second floor of the bookstore.

He knew that Feng Juan lived there. Is she dressing herself, or is she sorting out her dowry?

The more I think about it, the more frustrated I become, and the more I think about it, the more frustrated I become.

He shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up and cheer himself up, but he couldn't.

He lowered his head and walked back slowly.

At this time, I suddenly heard a woman's voice behind me: "Hey-hey." ”

Lu Qi stopped and looked back to see that there were no women on the road.

He was just about to continue walking when he heard the voice again.

He turned around and looked up and saw Feng Juan calling him at the window.

Feng Juan's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being heard.

Lu Qi suddenly became energetic and walked over, feeling excited.

However, he immediately reminded himself not to daydream, Feng Juan was about to get married.

"Wait a minute." Feng Juan said three words and closed the window.

Lu Qi left the box on the side of the road and squatted on the ground as if he were sorting out the goods.

After a short while, the second-floor window opened. Feng Juan threw down a ball of paper from it and immediately closed the window.

Lu Qi picked up the paper ball and didn't care about it, picked up the box like a thief and walked away quickly.

He looked back from time to time, for fear of being discovered by Boss Lu.
