Lawrence didn't know why his old classmates paid so much attention to the young Mr. Yan, but he didn't ask.

He was anxious about the condition of his loved ones: "Milton, Mr. Yan. My mom and my aunt, they both live in Milwaukee. But the two people don't interact with each other. Mainly my aunt doesn't like to deal with people, so she doesn't have any friends. Except for a few servants, she barely spoke to anyone. My aunt, how to put it, has been in deep depression for almost nine months. Everyone was worried about her. ”

Lawrence paused, and then said, "Relatively speaking, my aunt likes me a little, but she doesn't accept me going too much. Watching it once a year is the limit. ”

Only let you see it once a year? How much you don't like to see people. The lady is clearly lonely in mind, and mental loneliness is the root of all neurosis. Yan Zixiu thought to himself.

Lawrence continued: "I'm worried about her. I happened to know that Milton was going to Milwaukee to give a talk, so I called you and asked for your help. ”

Milton asked, "Does your aunt live alone?" ”

"Yes. My aunt usually lives alone in her mansion. She had a housekeeper and maid. The maid came to the house every morning, mainly to do housework and cook and wash dishes, and did not leave until evening. The housekeeper is responsible for buying groceries, and sometimes, he will ask the gardener to beautify the yard. Lawrence said.

It seems that there are three people living with her, but everyone is actually parallel to each other and has no intersection. Yan Zixiu analyzed in his heart.

Soon, the car came to a scenic and fresh air area and stopped in front of a mansion.

There is a wide lawn in front of the mansion, as well as a parking lot.

Lawrence went and rang the doorbell.

A woman who looked like a butler came and opened the door: "Ah, it's Mr. Lawrence." ”

"Rita, this is my classmate, Mr. Milton, a master of psychology. This is his friend, Dr. Yan Zixiu. You know what I'm here for. Lawrence said.

"Yes. We were all concerned about the well-being of our hosts. Then please come with me. Rita, the butler, bowed sideways.

"I'm not going, so as not to bother my aunt." Lawrence shook his head and didn't move.

"Alright then, two gentlemen, please come with me." Rita Steward leads the way.

They walked through the courtyard. The greenery in the courtyard is quite pleasing to the eye.

Under a trellis, a woman of about fifty years old sat in a daze.

She heard someone coming and looked up.

Yan Zixiu saw that her eyes were quite big, her face was gray, and she had a layer of gray and black air. The whole thing looks impatient.

"Master, this is Mr. Lawrence's classmate, Mr. Milton, and this is Mr. Milton's friend, Dr. Yan Zixiu." Rita introduced.

Milton and Yan Zixiu nodded slightly: "Lady Beth." "They learned what to call Lawrence's aunt on the way.

Beth nodded indifferently, indicating that she understood.

Milton said, "Lady Beth, I see that your house is very well furnished, and I wonder if you could show us around?" ”

Yan Zixiu knows that depressed patients are deficient in yang energy, and they can't move if they can.

Sure enough, Miss Beth looked very reluctant.

But on the one hand, the guests were friends with her nephew Lawrence, and on the other hand, they exalted her and praised her for the chic of her house.

Most importantly, she knew that people were there to help her with mental illness. You can't just let the butler receive you.

So she reluctantly agreed, stood up and led Milton and Yan Zixiu around unhappily.

Rita followed.

In a glass conservatory, Milton and Yan Zixiu noticed three pots of African violets in full bloom of different colors.

This flower, small and exquisite, colorful and poetic, is an internationally famous potted flower. Its flower language and symbolism are: intimate and luxuriant, eternally beautiful, eternal beauty, small love, and love. Reproduction can take the form of leaf cuttings.

Seeing that the guests noticed the African violet, the lazy Lady Beth took the initiative to plant a violet leaf in an empty pot for the first time.

Milton's eyes lit up and he said to Miss Beth, "I've found a way to help you." All you have to do is do it. ”

Miss Beth looked at Milton, and did not speak, nor objected.

He said to Rita: "I remember that violets came in about 13 different colors. I want you to buy one of the other colors of violets that you don't have at home. You buy 50 potted plants and some soil from the nursery. Also, buy another 200 gift pots. ”

Rita said, "Do as you are told." ”

Milton said to Ms. Beth, "My method is this: these flowers need your own hands to propagate and maintain. Whenever someone gives birth to a child, you give the child a pot of ripe African violets. Also, whenever someone gets sick, or a girl announces their engagement, or a new person gets married, you send a pot of violets. Every time there is a bazaar, you take out 10 to 20 pots of violets for sale. In short, at every right time, send a pot of violets out. ”

As Milton said this, Miss Beth seemed to see those scenes. When someone was born, someone was sick, engaged, or married, she sent a pot of violets that she had grown herself, and people greeted her with a smile.

Her eyes gradually brightened, "Yes, Mr. Milton. ”

Yan Zixiu secretly confirmed in his heart that he was at Xinzheng Airport at that time, making Tian Yayun look forward to the future, isn't it the same? It can be seen that the wisdom of the East and the West is the same.

Yang energy for a lifetime, depression self-elimination.

Now that the prescription has been prescribed, Milton and Yan Zixiu are ready to say goodbye and leave.

Ms. Beth asked Rita butler to pay for the consultation: "Thank you, gentlemen." I'm not far away. ”

Lawrence was very happy to see Milton and Yan Zixiu come out, and heard that there were some positive changes in his aunt, and warmly invited the two of them to lunch.

On the way, Yan Zixiu talked about his understanding of Milton's prescription: "Mr. Milton, there is a Confucian sage named Mencius in our East, and he once said that 'it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with all'. I think the prescription you gave to Ms. Beth fits that philosophy very well. Let the parties turn their likes into the joy of everyone. In this way, the spiritual island of depressed patients will be opened. ”

"It's better to be alone than to be happy. Turn your liking into the joy of all. Milton repeated the refinement, and couldn't help but applaud softly, "Okay." You can say that again. ”

Milton added. "Strict, one more point. African violets are a very delicate plant that cannot be raised without care, so the light must be just right and the amount of water must be just right. So I asked her to take care of about 200 violets, which was equivalent to scheduling her for a day's work, so that she had no time to fall into depression again. Because I was busy early in the morning, I would work until late. ”

Lawrence laughed, "You're all so right. Part of her problem is loneliness, and part of it is idleness. ”
