Chapter Twenty-Three: The Same Moonlight
Fan Xian sat in the car, thinking about the news that Fuji Zijing had just reported at the gate of the palace, and was a little anxious, if he had known that his sister had returned to Kyoto in advance, where would he care about the princess and concubine, there was no sound of thunder in the imperial study, and he had already rushed to the bookstore.
Three months ago, he received a letter from Ruoruo from Northern Qi, knowing that she could finally leave Qingshan and return to her hometown, Fan Xian was naturally happy in his heart, and according to the instructions in his sister's letter, he asked Wan'er to carefully select a good location for her sister in Kyoto.
Unexpectedly, Wan'er picked and chosen, and finally picked opposite the Lanbo Bookstore, which was not far from Taixue. Fan Xian thought to himself that this was not bad, and the three brothers and sisters were also neighbors on the street, but he didn't expect Ruoruo to return earlier than the letter said, and according to Fuji Zijing, this girl only stayed in the house for a short time, so she rushed to the location of the medical hall with great interest.
In the past two years, Fan Ruoruo has presided over all the miscellaneous affairs on Qingshan as a closed disciple of Master Kuhe, she is a Nanqing person, and she is Fan Xian's younger sister, so although she has the tacit consent of the Northern Qi royal family and the support of Senior Brother Wolf Tao, it is still a little hard.
In addition to presiding over the mountain gate, Fan Ruoruo often goes down the mountain to treat the poor people of Northern Qi, she charges cheaply, and her medical skills are extremely smart, plus her name is big, it didn't take long for the entire Northern Qi to know that inside the Tianyi Gate, there was a kind-hearted and compassionate medical woman.
This talented woman in Kyoto at that time, after being taught by her brother for a long time, finally found her goal in life, once she found it, she became extremely persistent, otherwise she would not return to Kyoto, not stay at home, but to keep an eye on the progress of the hospital.
Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows with some curiosity, secretly wondering whether his sister had become Hua Bian Que or Fenghua? You must know that this was the problem he was most worried about back then.
............ Today's Dongchuan Road is crowded with people, and it is very lively, obviously it is not a festival period, but there are countless people who watch the excitement, and people who don't know the inside story are afraid that they will think that there is a juggling team performing inside. Dongchuan Road is close to Taixue, and most of these people who come to see the excitement are also young students in Taixue, who tiptoe and stretched their necks to look in, hoping to take a look at Miss Fan, who was famous in Kyoto back then, what she was like.
Four or five years have passed, when Kyoto became a famous talent, one He Zongwei has entered the court as an official, and he is very popular, but the other Hou Jichang is far away in Jiaozhou and is about to be forgotten. As for the most famous young ladies in Kyoto, Ye Ling'er avoided Qingzhou, Lin Wan'er married a wife, and it is no longer possible to become a topic on people's tea tables.
In the words of a comment that Fan Xian once plagiarized: It is really not as good as the generation.
But Fan Ruoruo is an exception, she was famous for her poetry in Kyoto, but later she was too big to be blue-eyed, and she worshiped in the bitter lotus gate, and gained an excellent reputation in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
Fan Xian lifted the curtain of the car window, frowned, and looked at the young scholars blocking the door of his bookstore and the entrance of the medical hall without a signboard with some annoyance, thinking that these people were inevitably too Meng Lang, and his face was a little displeased.
Looking at his expression, Mu Feng'er said in a low voice, "The subordinates will drive these people away immediately." β
Fan Xian was noncommittal, and Fuji Zijing said softly: "I'll go and clear the field." Fan Xian nodded.
Over the years, he has managed to maintain his status as a clear stream in the minds of readers, and has successfully washed away the darkness of many supervision institutes, how can he be willing to let Mu Feng'er be corrupted. I don't know what Fujikokyo said after getting off the bus, and the pedestrians and scholars who were blocking Dongchuan Road suddenly dispersed, vacating a large area of land at the entrance of the street. It was only when those scholars passed by the black carriage that they saluted the carriage very respectfully, and then quietly retreated.
It seems that these people know the identity of the people in the carriage, so they naturally dare not slack off, especially those scholars who already regard Fan Xian as an idol, and Fan Xian is now also a professor in Taixue, where do they dare to stay anymore - it can make scholars bend their eyebrows and bend their waists, proving that Fan Xian is not just as simple as a powerful person.
............ Dongchuan Road quieted down, Fan Xian got out of the carriage, suppressed the excitement in his heart, smiled and walked into the medical hall opposite the bookstore, and didn't have time to check how Wan'er had renovated this place, so he glanced directly into it, but he didn't look at Ruoruo's face, only looked at the brocade jacket that looked a little thin, and the waist was slightly thin.
Fan Ruoruo didn't notice the changes outside the medical hall at all, she had already gotten rid of her trance, and was squatting in the inner room to sort out those medicinal materials, she also brought back some rare precious medicines in Nanqing from Qingshan in Northern Qi, and was thinking about how to store them at this time.
Listening to the footsteps behind him, Fan Ruoruo didn't get up, and said directly: "The door hasn't been opened yet, if it's not an emergency, please come back in two days." β
Listening to this voice, Fan Xian was happy, and the heart of the doctor contained in this sentence made him laugh with satisfaction, and said behind her: "If you really want to be sick, where can I wait for you to come back for treatment, could it be that my own medical skills are poor?"
Hearing this familiar and somewhat unfamiliar voice, Fan Ruoruo's body trembled slightly, but immediately regained her calm, stood up, tidied up her clothes with Fan Xian on her back, slowly turned her head, bowed down, and said, "Brother is here." β
Although she deliberately suppressed her feelings, the eyebrows on the girl's face, the ζ in her eyes, and the curvature of the corners of her lips all showed the joy in her heart.
Looking at the joy on Ruoruo's sister's face, Fan Xian's heart was sad for no reason, I don't know why, inexplicable. He looked at his sister in a daze, at this familiar face that he hadn't seen for a few years, at the familiar meaning of ice and snow in his eyebrows, which turned into a faint light in the three chΕ«n in front of him, and sighed softly.
Then he stepped forward and gently touched his sister's head.
If you bow your head slightly, you are used to turning it sideways.
Just like when Fan Xian first came to Kyoto and entered the Sinan Bo Mansion in the fourth year of Qingli, the two brothers and sisters, who had been separated for a long time, only needed some words and a small action to dispel the strangeness caused by time, and once again returned to the situation between the active monkey and the sick little monkey many years ago, and returned to those words of the wild goose.
Fan Xian looked for a box and sat down, looked at his sister who was still busy, and said, "Why did you arrive so early?"
"Didn't my brother come back early?" Fan Ruoruo responded with a smile, raised his arm and brushed his sweaty sideburns: "There was no delay on the road, I arrived a few days early." β
"Thousands of miles south, not to mention a good rest at home for two days, the things in this medical hall are naturally arranged by your sister-in-law, you just have to ask for a doctor, don't cΔo this heart. β
Fan Xian glanced at her disapprovingly, and found that although her sister was still so thin, she looked much better, and perhaps because she had often practiced medicine in the countryside in the past two years, her skin had also darkened, and even the layer of ice and snow that was common in her eyebrows had gradually disappeared.
Although there are frequent correspondence exchanges, but it is not as thoughtful as taking care of him, Fan Xian has some self-blame in his heart, he arranged all the escape from marriage and leaving the country, and sighed when he looked at his sister, and he didn't know if she had a good time in the past two years.
"The maid in the house changed a few times, I don't know anyone, I didn't find anyone to talk to, I sat in the flower hall stupidly for a while, I thought about it or came to the bookstore to see, where did I think that the place my sister-in-law picked was opposite the medical hall. Fan Ruoruo naturally pulled his brother up, lest he sit on the box where he put the medicine, and said, "This medicine makes your butt sit, how can you use it?"
"Who am I? I'm a poet immortal, if it spreads, I'm afraid that others will pick this box of medicine to buy. Fan Xian told a very cold joke, and then said in surprise: "What about your sister-in-law?"
Fan Shangshu took the Liu family back to Lanzhou to retire, and took away half of the servants in the old mansion, plus Zhuangzi needed manpower, and Yahuan had to be married when she was older, but in a few years, the entire Fan Mansion had become a little strange to Fan Ruoruo.
Fan Xian was extremely sensitive to this, and thought to himself that even the big girl who was sleepy in the fourth haul has now become a county lady, and in a few years, Kyoto has changed too much, so don't let Ruoruo be a little unaccustomed to it.
"My sister-in-law and Sisi took the vine family to the Grange. Fan Ruoruo glanced at him curiously, as if she didn't understand why her brother asked such a stupid question, "I just entered the city with Fujizijing today, of course I didn't meet them." β
But all the big families have their own grange mountain and forest industry outside Kyoto, not to mention the Fan family, Fan Xian often played in these granges in previous years, but he didn't think for a while that when it was winter, it should be the season to prepare for the end of the year.
He rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "It's a big deal for you to come back, no matter how busy you are, you should wait in the mansion." β
Fan Ruoruo glanced at him, and said angrily: "You and I came back three days early, who can have that magic trick." β
Fan Xian patted his ass and got up, and said with a smile: "I can at least calculate that you should be hungry at this time." β
βββββββI'm leisure, the dividing line of learning, woo lalaββββββ now the two houses in front and back of the Fan Mansion have already been opened, and the garden has also been changed, and even the people who live inside are not the same. Fan Xian is still used to living in the new house with Wan'er Sisi, the old mansion where his father lives is vacant, and there are already servants who have cleaned up Ruoruo's room back then, just like before, Fan Ruoruo followed Fan Xian to take a look, thinking about the more than ten years spent in Kyoto, and his eyes turned red.
Fan Xian is the horn who can't see women crying the most, of course, except for the mother-in-law who is already dead - he quickly blew Ruo Ruo to the flower hall, at this time there was no one in the house, the brother and sister sat opposite each other, saluted each other with wine, ate nonsense, and told their respective lives after separation, but also happy. It's just that when it comes to the rebellion in Kyoto, Ruoruo is extremely worried, and when he talks about the loneliness on the green mountains and the eyes of the people of Northern Qi, Fan Xianyan is a little annoyed.
"How is my brother over there now?" Fan Xian put down his wine glass and asked. Fan Sizhen has always been dealing with the industry in the north, although the two brothers have always exchanged letters and exchanged information, but he is still used to asking. From his sister's words, Fan Xian knew that Si Zhe had a hard time in the north, although the Northern Qi royal family did not do anything on the surface, but secretly made some inconspicuous little stumbling blocks.
Fan Xian pondered for a moment and said: "If the jade is not cut, the little emperor of Northern Qi will not really turn his face for a while, so he will stay over there." β
In the past two years, Fan Sizhen has returned to Kyoto twice, and the chΕ«n festival in the ninth year of Qingli is also spent in Shanzhou, but now the Fan family is forced to be separated from each other, and it is extremely difficult to get together.
The problem was that His Majesty could not have allowed him to resign at such a stressful time, and it was true that my father should not stay in Kyoto anymore, and it was better to stay in Lanzhou to take care of his grandmother than to worry about an unfortunate fate all the time.
Fan Ruoruo nodded, and there was no doubt about his brother's words in his heart, whether it was his younger brother or himself, it was under the arrangement of his brother that he really had a life completely different from that of ordinary powerful children, the most fulfilling kind.
"Rest today, and then talk well, this old king is not here, and I have a lot of things I want to find someone to say, and I have nowhere to say." Fan Xian muttered a few words a little inarticulately, venting his rare depression, the chat partner in this world, except for Lin Dabao and Wang Qinian, is of course Uncle Wuzhu and his sister who has been influenced too much by himself is the most suitable.
Fan Xian even dared to say rebellious words to these four people, the problem was that Dabao was too simple, he couldn't say it and then he was hee, Wang Qinian ran away, Uncle Wuzhu escaped, and his sister was not there...... But he finally returned.
This feeling is so good, Fan Xian couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, he didn't know how much wine he drank, so he naturally refused to take the hangover pill, and took advantage of the alcohol, he actually fell asleep on the table.
Fan Ruoruo looked at his drunken brother, shook his head helplessly, ordered his subordinates to carry him back to the room, and personally covered the quilt for him, arranged his long black hair, and carefully took out a few needles in his hairβjust like when Fan Xian was injured before his wedding.
Back in her room, Fan Ruoruo looked at the few thin needles shining with all kinds of light in her hand, and couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that her sister-in-law should also know about these poisonous needles, isn't they afraid of pricking problems when they are affectionate? Or do they have to clean up every night?
She immediately realized that she shouldn't think about this problem, secretly blushed, and hurriedly put the thin needle in the box - Fan Xian's last life-saving trick was originally made by the two of them in the back house, and she naturally knew how to deal with it.
The house is old, the bedding is new, the people are old, and the hearts are old. Fan Ruoruo sat quietly at the table, looking at the garden outside through the window, thinking about her brother's previous drunken and happy appearance, a little distracted, from the conversation, she knew that although her brother had lived well in Kyoto in the past few years, there was always an inexplicable pressure, which made it difficult for him to be happy.
She sighed, put on a jacket, and walked out of the room, strolling in the old moonlight in the garden. In the room behind her, the remnant candlelight was looking for a shadow to tell how bright its dream was, and the moonlight on her body was the same as in previous years, but she was getting more and more flustered.
............ But Fan Ruoruo clearly knew that this qiΔ was just a vain, and regardless of whether his mind could be accommodated in this world, the most important thing was that since many years ago, his brother had been accustomed to taking care of himself like a child, and Ji Yue had never had such thoughts in his heart.
She couldn't help but smile helplessly, and secretly thought about opening the hospital as soon as possible, there are still so many poor people in the world who need their own help, why bother to be in this early winter scene, thinking about their own children's family feelings that are difficult to declare.
Once she thought about these matters, the moonlight that sprinkled her delicate face seemed calm. After several years of living in the north, the temperament of this girl's family has changed greatly, and there is no longer that kind of indifference in the calm, but there is a little more calmness that can afford to let go.
ββββββββββββββββ not to mention what kind of sensation caused by Miss Fan's return to Beijing, just say that Fan's house was a lot more lively, Lin Wan'er and her entourage, who got the news, rushed back from the grange, and the sister-in-law saw each other, and they had some affection, especially when they saw their niece and nephew, Fan Ruoruo was even more happy.
This family is happy, and it is an outlier in the Kyoto mansion, but this atmosphere can't last long, because Fan Ruoruo is in a hurry to open a medical hall, and the palace also lets Fan Xian take Ruoruo into the palace to see the driver.
The affairs of the medical hall were done by themselves, and it only took a day to see the driver, but the young people of the second generation of Fan Mansion could no longer be idle. Fan Ruoruo has studied art in Qingshan for several years, and when she returned to Beijing for the first time, she naturally had many elders and relatives to visit and walk around.
The first stop is undoubtedly the Jingwang Mansion, which has an excellent relationship with the Fan Mansion.
If it is changed to the past, this kind of movement is extremely common, but the problem is that Fan Ruoruo almost became the daughter-in-law of King Jing, but was later sent by Fan Xian to the Kuhe Gate of Northern Qi, King Jing has been remembering this for the past two years, seeing Fan Xian sighed for a long time, the situation between the two families is a little embarrassing, so Fan Ruoruo knew that he was going to the palace, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"What's there to be upset about. Fan Xian looked at his sister's expression, thinking that Hongcheng was suffering from Dingzhou, his heart trembled, and he didn't know whether he had done right or wrong back then, so he reluctantly smiled and said: "During the Chinese New Year, Hongcheng will also return to Beijing, are you going to hide for the rest of your life." β
