Chapter 61: A Few Repeats
Five days later, a carriage stopped on the side of the official road outside Meridian Town, and a young man came down from it. He took a piece of silver out of his bosom and handed it to the coachman, and then walked out into the town with a large burden on his back.
"I haven't been back for almost a year, Meridian Town is still the same, I don't know what Daddy, Mother, and Lin'er are doing now?" Thinking of this, the young man's steps couldn't help but speed up.
After a while, when he walked to his door, Li Ge looked up at the plaque engraved with the word 'Li Fu' hanging on the door, and felt a feeling in his heart, and then walked to the closed door and stretched out his hand to pat it.
After a while, a man in a green shirt in his early thirties opened the door, and when he saw the young man outside the door, he froze for a moment, and then shouted with a happy face, "Young Master, you are back." ”
"Hey, Ji'an. Li Ge looked at the man in the green shirt and nodded with a smirk.
"Come into the young master. Ji'an hurriedly walked to Li Ge's side, took the burden on the latter's shoulders in his hand, and then led his young master into the house.
"By the way, Ji'an, what about my father and mother?" After sitting down in his living room, Li Ge walked around the room with his hands behind his back, carefully looked at this familiar and unfamiliar home, and asked casually.
"There seems to be something wrong with Madame's family, and the lord and Mrs. have gone to Sanhe County. Ji'an took a cup of tea and handed it to Li Ge: "Young master, what do you want to eat later?" I'll let Dongmei make it for you." ”
"Don't bother, just make me some. Li Ge took the teacup and put it on the table beside him, and then asked, "Did Lin'er also follow my father and mother to Sanhe County? Do you know what happened over there?"
"Miss Lin'er didn't go. I don't know much about what happened over there, the lord and the lady didn't tell me, but they said that the young master should be back in the next few days, so they will come back the day after tomorrow. ”
Li Ge nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "By the way, is there a new maid in the family now?"
"Young master, there are no people in the house as last year, or the two of us and the butterfly dance girl. After a pause, he said, "This year, Mrs. told Diewu a few family things, and she pushed them all, and now she is leading Miss Lin'er to the town to play." ”
"Oh~ Okay, I know, you go and get busy, you don't have to greet me. Li Ge nodded, and then sat down in his chair and took a teacup and drank tea.
"Then I'll go clean up the room for the young master, and if there's anything you can do, you can call me. Ji'an answered and ran out of the house.
Li Ge sat in the hall for a while, and when he was bored, he moved to the garden outside.
"Young Master, you're back. A woman of about thirty years of age in the garden was teasing a child of three or four years old, and when she saw Lige, she hurried up with the child in the hand.
"It's Dongmei, I haven't seen you for a year, you and Ji'an's children are so old. When Li Ge saw the child, he squatted down and reached out and touched the child's cheek.
"Qian'er, call the young master quickly. Dongmei happily touched her child's head.
"Hello young master. The child named Qian'er grabbed his mother's hand tightly and looked at Li Ge curiously.
"Good~" Li Ge laughed, took out a piece of ancient jade from his waist that he bought in Pujiang Town a few days ago, put it on the child's neck, and said, "This is what I bought when I came back a few days ago." ”
"This can't make the young master, the lord and the lady are good enough for our family of three, I don't dare to ask for such a valuable item. Seeing this, Dongmei hurriedly took off the jade from the child's neck.
"It's not a rarity, it's not worth a few dollars, it's a little bit of my heart. Li Ge looked at the mother and son and smiled slightly, and then said, "I'll go to the study to read a book." ”
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master. Dongmei thanked her two words, and put the jade she took off on the child.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. The name is famous, and the name is not very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth. Famous, everything ......" Just as Li Ge was opening the Tao Te Ching in the study and chanting in a low voice, a little girl in a water-blue dress ran in.
"Brother. The little girl screamed like a yellow warbler, and ran directly to Li Ge.
"Lin'er. When Li Ge saw the little girl, he directly put down the Tao Te Ching in his hand and hugged the little girl. Looking at the two little sisters with the two little discernments in his arms, Li Ge asked with a smile, "Do you miss me, Lin'er?"
"Yes!" Lin'er's little face showed a smile like a flower, and then asked in a childish voice, "Brother, where have you been? Did Grandpa Lai also come to our house?"
"My brother went to Jiangning. Li Ge answered, put down the sister in his arms, and took out the piece of jade that the master had given him that he had kept warm for decades. After hanging it around his sister's neck, Li Ge said softly, "Your grandfather didn't come back this time, and he entrusted me to give you this piece of jade." ”
Lin'er's white little hand grabbed the jade and looked at it carefully, then put it into her clothes, and said happily, "Brother, if you see Grandpa Lai, you must thank him for me." ”
"Young Master, you're back. Just as Li Ge and his sister were talking happily, a gentle female voice rang out at the door.
Li Ge shifted his gaze to the door when he heard the sound, and saw a lovely woman about twenty-five or sixteen years old standing at the door and smiling at herself. She is wearing a dark gray dress, dressed very plainly, and her facial features are very delicate, like a hibiscus out of clear water, beautiful but not charming. Although her appearance is not as captivating as Lin Yurou, it is also rare in the world.
"It's a butterfly dance. Li Ge replied casually, looking at the woman for a moment.
"Young Master, it's okay for you to follow Master Lai outside. After a few glances, Butterfly Dance whispered.
"It's good. Li Ge nodded, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up and asked, "By the way, I just heard from Ji'an that my mother introduced you to a few family affairs, and you pushed them all, do you want to be an old girl for the rest of your life?"
"Young Master Lao is worried, Butterfly Dance has had no father or mother since she was a child, thanks to the lord and his wife who adopted me. Now, I just want to stay in the house and serve them, and not think about it. ”
"Having said that, don't you want to have a home of your own?~" Li Ge sighed, and then said, "Don't stand Butterfly Dance, come and sit." ”
"Brother, what are you doing with Grandpa Lai in Jiangning? My mother said that Grandpa Lai is an immortal, are you going to be an immortal too?" Li Lin'er's childish words were full of doubts.
"Haha~ Lin'er, your grandfather Lai is not a fairy, and my brother doesn't want to be a fairy. We do some very special things in Jiangning, and I will tell you about these things when you grow up. ”
"Young master, you and Miss talk first, and I'll pour you tea and get some snacks. Butterfly Dance saw that the brother and sister in the house were chatting, and immediately turned around and went out of the house.
"By the way, brother, I went to Jiwu Mountain with my father and mother this summer, and I saw Dabai and Dabao. ”
"Really?" Riege heard his sister's words, and suddenly fell into memory. Although Dabao and Dabao are just a white snake and a white tiger, in his heart, this snake and a tiger are good friends who have accompanied him for ten years.
At that moment, Li Ge made a decision in his heart. Tomorrow, he will go back to the Foggy Mountains to meet his old friend who has been separated for almost a year.
