Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 18 The situation is settled and the grievances are difficult to solve, and waking up from a drunken dream is a parting
The Wang and Liu families have had a grievance for a long time, but they didn't expect it to be settled so soon. The old lady of the Liu family really believed in her words, and began to dismiss the family on the second day. After the death of the old lady, the old lady of the Liu family presided over the affairs of the house, and the grandson Liu Shijie, although he often ran rampant in the township, was quite talented in running the family business and treating people, and the old lady of the Liu family slowly let the grandson take over. Three years ago, Liu Shijie went out for more than half a year, and he opened up and stabilized the trade route everywhere, how did he know that the young master of the Xu family died tragically in Liu's mansion, which made the good form take a sharp turn. As soon as the Liu family fell, the Wang family became the only big man in this Yunlongzhen, and after that, everyone looked at the gold and silver, and they would feel a little more afraid.
Although the Liu family has scattered all their wealth, the friends and businessmen in the past are also all over Dali, and it is not too difficult to find a life errand. The old lady of the Liu family wanted to drive all her children and grandchildren out of the Liu Mansion, but how did she know that Liu Shijie was dead or alive, so the grandparents and grandchildren lived in the Liu family's old house. Those who had received the favor of the Liu family did not come to visit, of course, they were more afraid that they would succumb to the royal family's prostitution. The Liu family's mansion is no longer in charge, but there are still a lot of idle people, they don't care whether the Liu family is still there, as long as they have a place to live, they are satisfied.
It's also a strange thing to say, that Mrs. Liu is about to enter the ground, and she is stunned to live energetically, although she still can't stand up, but her mind is not worse than ordinary people. On the contrary, Liu Shijie was in a slump, like a dead man. Mrs. Liu couldn't look past it and scolded her, but Liu Shijie always pretended not to hear.
The evil young man of the Wang family found two women in their thirties, saying that they wanted to be a maid for Mrs. Liu and take care of her daily life, but everyone understood that this was just a little supportive. Of course, Liu Shijie did not refuse, after all, he is a big man, and it is indeed inconvenient to take care of his grandmother, and he has heard enough of his grandmother's nagging, so he just begged for peace. That Wang Manyin made it bad, and from time to time people sent wine and food, Liu Shijie was also unceremonious, only with this wine a day, and the Wang brothers saw him like this, and the wine was delivered more diligently.
Ten days after the war between the two families of Nawang and Liu, everything has returned to calm, and the Lu family pharmacy is the same as before. Since the beginning of this year, half of the patients have been diagnosed and treated by Bai Qing every day, and after this July, Lu Ziling has no longer taken the initiative to see a doctor, and she only stepped forward to give guidance when she encountered difficulties. Bai Qing has a docile personality and is extremely careful in his diagnosis, and most patients are appreciative. At this time, Lu Ziling was sitting in a rocking chair, half-squinting, but her face was not relaxed at all. She has been like this for the past ten days, and Xiao Yi, Bai Qingtong, and Lu Sanren also feel strange, I don't know what my sister is thinking about these days, and occasionally calling her, she always takes a while to react.
Lu Ziling suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of excitement. She stretched out her hand to Tong Lu and said loudly,
"Lu Lu, go, follow me to buy something delicious. ”
Tong Lu looked dazed, but he didn't think much about it, put down the work in his hand, and walked out of the pharmacy with Lu Ziling with a bamboo basket on his back. Xiao Yi Baiqing heard that there was something delicious, and he also made a gesture for a while, asking Tong Lu to buy this and that. I think that Lu Ziling rarely cooks on weekdays, but in fact, she is a good cook, and she has an exclusive recipe, which will only be added a little when she cooks by herself, and Xiao Yi and the three of them are all good at this, so as long as Lu Ziling is in charge, they will be happy. On weekdays, the four of them cook, and they only cook in a small pot at the door of the store, and the meals of the four people are simple and sweet. But when Lu Ziling and Tong Lu came back, Xiao Yi and Baiqing were dumbfounded. I saw Tong Lu looking reluctant, carrying a cauldron behind him, thinking that he had borrowed it from the smoke and rain building. Lu Ziling carried a basket full of ingredients behind her back, and held a large jar of wine in her hand. She looked at Xiao Yi Baiqing with a smile and said,
"Close the door, pack your things, I'll cook later." Let's drink wine and eat meat tonight. ”
Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward to take the wine jar, hugged it and put it down, and closed the door panel again. Bai Qing washes vegetables and cuts meat, and is extremely skilled. Tong Lu brought stones to set up a cauldron and washed and brushed. Lu Ziling looked at the three of them and felt very pleased, she was going to take out her housekeeping skills this night and let her younger brothers and sisters taste it. After everything was cleaned up, Lu Ziling rolled up her sleeves and started to do a big job. I saw her shovel flying, just like a dance, very beautiful. Xiao Yi and the three of them swallowed saliva on the side, and when a bowl of vegetables came out of the pot, they always habitually brought it into the shop by the two of them together, in case they ate it secretly. Tong Lu refused to let Xiao Yi Baiqing serve the food together, so he would be there every time he served the food. After a while, the dishes have been served, five meat and seven vegetables, and a perfect twelve. Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, dripping and turning, you must know that Lu Ziling rarely cooks, and occasionally cooks only one or two, and putting a big table like this is something that has never happened before.
Lu Ziling took out a big bowl and poured wine for all four of them, she picked up the wine bowl and said,
"Come on, come on, it's a good day, let's have a bowl together. ”
The four of them raised their bowls together and drank them together, and even Tong Lu, who rarely drinks on weekdays, drank it in one gulp, because he knew that as long as he finished drinking, he would be able to eat vegetables. Sure enough, Lu Ziling shouted,
"Let's eat!"
Xiao Yi and the three of them carried chopsticks like flying, and they ate very comfortably.
Lu Ziling filled the wine again, watching the three of them gobble up, she smiled lightly and drank the wine in the bowl. The three of them ate happily, but they didn't realize that Lu Ziling was just drinking by herself. Lu Ziling put down the wine bowl and said to Xiao Yi,
"Xiao Yi, how long have you been here? ”
Xiao Yi swallowed the food in his mouth and said,
"I'm with Bai Qing, it's almost three years. Sister, didn't you say that you want me to work for you for three years, haha, the time will come soon!"
Lu Ziling tapped the back of Xiaoyi's hand with chopsticks,
"Hmph, you're holding a grudge against me, aren't you!"
Xiao Yi smirked,
"At first, I still had some grudges, but later, I found that Bai Qing and I were very happy every day when I stayed with you. Later, Lu Lu also came, and it became four people, and our pharmacy became even more lively. Now you want to drive us away, and we won't go, hahaha. By the way, sister, when are you going to find a brother-in-law! We're all in a hurry!"
Lu Ziling smiled,
"You little ghost, your sister is so good, so capable, of course it's better to be lacking than rotten, rather lacking than rotten, haha. You kid, you can't be a girl you fall in love with!" she squinted at Xiao Yi, her face full of disdain.
Xiao Yi looked at Lu Ziling, and then at Bai Qing, so he had to bow his head and eat vegetables.
Xiao Yi's words just now seemed to be very useful to Lu Ziling, she smiled, and continued,
"Xiao Yi, do you still want to go to that river and lake now?"
Xiao Yi restrained his smile and put down his chopsticks, he was a little confused,
"Sister, you won't want us, you want to drive us away, right?!"
Bai Qingtong Lu put down his chopsticks and looked at Lu Ziling.
"Why doesn't my sister want you, didn't you always say that you were going to explore the rivers and lakes before, I thought you forgot about it! I'm afraid that you will bewitch Bai Qing away!"
The four of them laughed together, and Xiao Yi touched his head awkwardly and said,
"Sister, to be honest, I've always wanted to!But Aunt Gu is also right, I'm still young, I'm afraid it's hard to bear the ups and downs of the rivers and lakes, if I grow up, I will definitely have to go to a lot, and now I'm not alone." ”
Lu Ziling hit Xiao Yi with chopsticks,
"Hehe, with your ability, if you hand over Bai Qing to you, you won't let me be scared all day long!"
Bai Qing rushed to the road,
"Sister, Brother Xiaoyi is very powerful now, and he won't fall behind in the fight with that master that day!"
Lu Ziling pinched Bai Qing's cheek and said,
"Oh, you little woman, this is good, you will protect him before you get married. ”
Bai Qing blushed with shame, and Lu Ziling looked at her, which was also funny,
"Bai Qing, when you get married, you will definitely be too beautiful to say! ”
Bai Qing twisted a little, lowered his head to his lap, and said,
"Sister...... Brother Xiaoyi, he ......"
Tong Lu quipped,
"If you don't change Ming'er, let Aunt Gu hold a banquet, we haven't been lively for a long time!"
Bai Qing waved his pink fist and was about to fight, but when he saw Xiao Yi smirking at him, Lu Ziling and Tong Lu shouted at him together,
"What's your business!"
Xiao Yi was deflated, closed his mouth and peeked at the three of them.
"Come on, let's have another bowl. The three of them didn't feel any difference, and they also drank it all together, and they were very happy.
"How's my sister's craftsmanship!"
Tong Lu replied,
"In your words, it's just good and not good!"
Lu Ziling clasped her hands,
"Haha, then you have to eat more, I won't cook easily in the future!"
The three of them continued to eat the vegetables, and there was some scramble. Lu Ziling looked at them with pity in her eyes. She continued,
"Xiao Yi, you have to practice your martial arts well, or someone will bully us in the future, and you won't be able to help, that's a big bad thing. ”
Xiao Yi patted his chest,
"Sister, don't worry, I practice every day, and I will protect you desperately. ”
Lu Ziling squinted at him,
"Who wouldn't talk big, but I'm still more relieved about you. ”
She looked at Bai Qing and continued,
"Bai Qing, these two boys are unreliable, and sometimes you have to rely on yourself. Also, don't spoil them, and clean up when it's time to clean up. ”
Bai Qing covered her mouth and chuckled. Lu Ziling fingers Tong Lu,
"You kid, you're very thoughtful, but don't use it in the wrong place. ”
Tong Lu staggered, a little confused,
"Sister, how do I feel like you're asking and saying goodbye!"
Xiao Yi and Bai Qing are all shaken up, and they all say together,
"Sister, you won't ......"
Lu Ziling interrupted them and said,
"Sister drank too much, and it didn't work to remind me!"
The three of them were relieved. Lu Ziling said loudly,
"Here, another bowl. ”
Although the three of them felt different, they all picked up the bowls, and the wine bowls were staggered, and the four of them drank it all. Although this plum wine is not easy to intoxicate, it should not be drunk too much. Tong Lu is too strong to drink, so he can't bear it. It's strange to say, this little B is very good, but after only drinking three bowls, it looks like he is drunk, no, he is really drunk. Lu Ziling was full of herself, tears spilled and dripped into the bowl, looking at the three people who were intoxicated, unable to speak for a long time.
It was still early, and Xiao Yi woke up in a daze, still playing boxing and dancing sticks as before. In the middle of the night, the sky was slightly bright, Tong Lu woke up and saw Xiao Yi sitting at the door, he put on his coat and walked over, sat next to Xiao Yi and said,
"Brother Xiaoyi, I'm so hungry. ”
"Well, so do me, it feels weird. ”
Tong Lu rubbed his eyes and continued,
"After eating so much last night, it's really strange why I'm so hungry before dawn. ”
The door of the inner room opened, Bai Qing walked out, came to Xiao Yi and sat down,
"I'm so hungry. Bai Qing said softly.
Xiao Yi took her hand and said,
"Is my sister awake, let's go eat outside this morning. ”
Bai Qing was stunned,
"My sister isn't here. ”
"Ahh I saw a basket on the square table, and when I opened the lid of the basket, it contained several plates of delicate snacks. Xiao Yi picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, and screamed,
"It's so fragrant! Then he put a snack in one hand into Bai Qingtong's mouth, and the three of them shouted together. Just as he was happy, Tong Lu moved the basket, and there was a letter pressed under the basket, and he carefully opened the letter paper, and there were six big characters printed on it,
"Went looking for my man. ”
The three of them were shocked, Tong Lu was about to run out, but was pulled by Xiao Yi, he shouted,
"Where are you going?"
Tong Lu shouted,
"To find my sister, of course!"
Xiao Yi grabbed him and shouted in his ear,
"Do you know where my sister is?
Tong Lu was easily restrained by Xiao Yi, but he was still struggling.
"I don't care, I'm going to find my sister!"
Xiao Yi's face showed a fierce face, and Tong Lu slowly calmed down.
"Wake me up, and I'll whip you again!"
The three of them sat together, and Xiao Yi said softly,
"My sister is gone, and she definitely doesn't want us to go with her. ”
Bai Qing continued, her voice trembling a little.
"yes, or my sister would have brought me. ”
Tong Lu picked up the letter paper, thought about it and whispered,
"My sister went to find her man, I think this man is the little white face that Aunt Gu mentioned!" Tong Lu's face was full of anger.
Xiao Yi Bai Qing Qi Dao,
"Could it be that my sister went to the Great Song Kingdom?!"
Tong Lu nodded, calmed down, pondered carefully, and said,
"I think we've slept for a day or two, and my sister has already gone away! Also, Brother Xiaoyi, you drink so well, are you also drunk?!"
Xiao Yi thought about it and nodded. Tong Lu looked at him,
"That's it, I've always wondered why my sister made so many delicious foods at once, and her eyes changed when she looked at us. I just thought she wanted to encourage Brother Xiaoyi, so I didn't think much about it. Now it seems that she must have drugged this wine enough to sleep for a day or two. When we woke up, she was already in Dali City, or somewhere else!
Xiao Yi thought about it and nodded,
"Then are we going to find my sister?!and, for...... Why didn't my sister bring us!"
Tong Lu picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth,
"Maybe you think it's troublesome to take us! Hmph, no! Whether you two go or not, I must go to her anyway!"
Bai Qing looked at the two of them and said softly,
"Brother Xiaoyi, let's go find my sister with Lu Lu!"
Xiao Yi said while eating snacks,
"I finally understood the meaning of my sister's words that day, she just wanted me to protect you two well, so that she could go with peace of mind!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yi's eyes were blazing, and he shouted,
"That's right, let's just look for my sister and explore the rivers and lakes!
Tong Lu squinted at him and snorted.
"You, you can't run, my sister handed you over to me, you just accept your fate and follow me, haha!"
Xiao Yi looked at him with white eyes,
"Do you know how to get around?!"
Xiao Yi was speechless, and he really didn't know where to go.
Tong Lu glared at him and said slowly,
"In my opinion, my sister will go to Dali City first, then go north, pass through Huichuan Jianchang Erfu, and then enter the territory of Dasong Bashu. ”
Xiao Yi Baiqing looked at him with a puzzled face. Tong Lu pointed to Bai Qing, and said,
"It's your house!"
Bai Qing was shocked, she had only told Xiao Yi where she was from, but Tong Lu said it at once, which surprised her.
"Lu Lu, how do you know where I'm from!"
Tong Lu spread his hands,
"Although you deliberately hide your accent, but occasionally pop out some idiomatic dialects, we are often busy in the smoke and rain building, this Bashu guests will also get a lot, listen to it a few more times to understand. Actually, I already knew, but you two thought it was well hidden. ”
Xiao Yi Baiqing is helpless, it seems that playing with his mind is really not Tong Lu's opponent. Tong Lu returned to Lu Ziling's side, scratched and pulled on the paper with his hand, and continued,
"Sister, the man is from the Great Song Dynasty, and she should be going to the Great Song Kingdom. At present, my sister's first stop must be to Dali City first, and there should be no doubt about this. ”
Xiao Yi Baiqing nodded, and listened to him as he spoke,
"When you arrive at Dali City, there are roughly three directions to go, north, east, and south. Don't forget, in addition to looking for a man, my sister is also a good doctor, and she was very pleased to see Xiao Yi that day, I was thinking that she must have remembered that she was going to save the world like Brother Xiao Yi did. Recently, I heard that there are many floods and diseases in this northern county. So for my sister, it's the best choice. ”
Tong Lu pointed and pointed, deeply admired in Xiaoyi Baiqing, and listened to him,
"From this northwest to Tubo, my sister is afraid that she will not go, and to the northeast through Beichuan and Jianchang, cross the Dadu River and enter the land of Dasong Bashu, this should be the place she wants to go!"
Tong Lu swallowed his saliva and continued,
"My sister is greedy, she has long heard that there are countless delicacies in the land of Nabashu, and the scenery is also extremely beautiful. I thought, that's the life she wants. Whether or not she really wanted to find the little white face, this route should be the best. ”
Tong Lu knocked on the table with his fingers, and Xiao Yi Baiqing listened to him, as if his sister was like this, and she also admired Tong Lu. Xiao Yi clenched his fist Tong Lu's hands,
"Lu Lu, you are so powerful, no wonder your name is Tong Lu, you just want to go with us......!
Tong Lu pulled out his hand vigorously and interrupted him,
"You don't come, hurry up and pack your things, let's leave in a while!"
Bai Qing thought about it and said slowly,
"But my sister left her pharmacy with us, and we left like this?
Xiao Yitong Lu closed his lips and stopped talking. Thinking that this Lu Ziling has lived alone in this pharmacy for more than ten years, how can he bear to give up this ancestral family business. The three of them were silent. Bai Qing glanced at her eyes and found a delicate medicine box beside the bed, which she had never seen before, and she couldn't help but be curious. She opened the medicine box, which contained a lot of broken silver, as well as a lot of books and medicines, which contained real estate title deeds and the like. Tong Lu looked at it and said to Bai Qing,
"Bai Qing, sister, this is the pharmacy handed over to you. And these medicine books, she wants to see you improve your medical skills and benefit the world!"
Bai Qing was silent, and listened to Tong Lu again,
"In my opinion, since you practice medicine, you can cure diseases and save people anywhere, so why stick to one place. We follow my sister on the road, not only can we have the opportunity to meet her, but also treat more patients, and we can also fulfill Xiao Yi's dream of rivers and lakes, why not do it!"
When Bai Qing heard this, she turned from worry to joy, she took out the deed and asked Tong Lu.
"Well, this, I'm going to think about it. "Tong Lu raised his cheeks for a long time,
"Of course, this deed should be kept, and it can be regarded as leaving some thoughts for my sister. I think, this walk, as short as a few months, as long as a few years, or we will hand over the key and the deed to Aunt Gu for safekeeping, and ask her to let people clean it every half month, if everyone comes back, they will be able to open the door for treatment immediately!"
Bai Qing clapped his hands and praised,
"Lu Lu, you are really amazing!
Xiao Yi readily agreed. The three of them happily packed up their things and walked towards the smoke and rain building together.
