Chapter 39: Childhood Memories

Sun Shuyan hurriedly asked, "Then where did she go?"

May thought for a while and said: "I'm an idler, but Sister April is responsible for taking care of the young owner's reading, calligraphy, and flute playing." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Usually at this hour, she should be studying ink for the master of Shaozhuang, and today should be no exception!"

Sun Shuyan nodded thoughtfully: "Thank you, girl." ”

As she spoke, April's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and May happily ran out to greet her: "Sister April, you're here!

April said gently: "There is Sister Lao, I have something to say to that son, you go and play with Junwu!"

When April walked into the room, Sun Shuyan took the lead in asking, "Is that you?"

April's thoughts were instantly pulled back to ten years ago.

At that time, she was still a child, she also had a warm home, there was a father and mother who loved her at home, there was a stream in front of the house, and Xiao April would squat by the stream every morning to look at the reflection in the water and dress up.

One day, Xiao April went to the stream to freshen up as usual, and happened to meet a little boy, and the two seemed to talk very much. Although it was only half a day of fun, April clearly remembered that the little boy said that he would marry her when he grew up.

When parting, the little boy also personally tied a red rope to Little April's wrist.

Now, ten years later, April still wears the same red rope on her wrist, but the color of the red rope has become dull.

April looked down at the red rope on her wrist and said half-joyed, half-worried: "...... It's been ten years, and I still remember April, and I'm so happy. ”

Sun Shuyan happily walked up to April and said, "April, it's great to meet you again." I went back to look for you later, but I couldn't find you. ”

April raised his head and looked at Sun Shuyan with gloomy eyes: "Less than a year after you left, my parents passed away, and just when I thought I was going to starve to death on the streets, it was Zhongli Villa who adopted me, and this is ten years." ”

Sun Shuyan looked at April sincerely: "It's me who is not good, I should go back to you early...... You—Do you remember the agreement made ten years ago?"

Although the person in front of him is an old man, there has been a gap of ten years between the two people. What's more, ten years ago, Sun Shuyan and April were just two children.

Ten years later, will everything be the same as before?

Sun Shuyan's eyes were full of sincerity, and it seemed that the passage of the past ten years had not diluted his feelings for April.

April's eyes slowly moistened, which shows that she and Sun Shuyan's hearts are the same, otherwise, she would not have worn an ordinary red bracelet for ten years.

The only thing that has changed is April's identity.

April wiped away her tears: "I used to fantasize about the scene of our reunion countless times, and I even thought that I would never see you again in my life. ”

Sun Shuyan held April's hand tightly: "Come with me!"

April was slow to answer, and Sun Shuyan knew what she was worried about.

"I know I'm a little abrupt, but that's okay, we're back together anyway, and I'm never going to lose you again. ”

April looked at Sun Shuyan gratefully: "It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that I need time." ”

Sun Shuyan nodded: "I understand, time is there, I'll wait for you." ”

In this way, after April learned about Zhongli Fanjie, he arranged Sun Shuyan to recuperate in the guest room.

April has always been well-behaved and sensible, she wants to take in a friend, Zhongli Fanjie naturally won't ask about this.

coincided with this period, Zhong Liyou was busy with Gu Huaiyan's affairs, and he didn't have time to pay attention to April's private affairs.

Half a month has passed.

With Chu Ruoshui, time always flies, even if he is reluctant, he has to go back.

"Young owner, your handwriting is so beautiful!"

Zhong Liyou was only concerned with practicing calligraphy, completely unaware that the person standing next to him would be May, and when he looked up at the strange voice, he couldn't help but be surprised.

But then he smiled and knocked May on the head with the barrel of the pen: "Shouldn't you stay with your mother or run to Junwu to play at this time? ”

May rubbed her hair with a resentful look.

"Madame took a carriage to Yunjiabao early in the morning to find Mrs. Yun to discuss the skills of raising flowers. Brother Junwu and the owner of the village went out to run errands, and they couldn't come back for three or five days. It just so happened that Sister April couldn't leave today because she had something to do, so I had to do it for me, a big idler!"

Zhong Liyou looked at the ink developed by May, smiled helplessly, and then put down the pen in his hand, picked up a plate of snacks on the table and handed it to May: "Okay, it's really hard for us in May." But I'm curious about what happened in April, even if she was sick in the past, as long as she didn't fall, she would definitely be by my side to polish ink for me and watch me practice calligraphy and painting. ”

May complained while stuffing snacks into her mouth: "This time she is not sick, she is going to take care of the patient." Who made her naturally have a compassionate and kind heart! I think it is better to let Sister April open a good hall at the gate of the village. ”

Zhong Liyou said: "Yes, April has always been kind-hearted. Do you remember? When I was a child, I took the four of you to Lishou Hall to hunt, and it was often me and Shang Wen Junwu who were hunting in front, and you were dragged by April to treat you in the back. ”

Recalling what happened when they were children, Zhong Liyou and May laughed out loud.

After rescuing his smile, Zhong Liyou straightened his shirt and said, "I'm very curious about that patient, what kind of person is worthy of taking care of her like April, even I ignored it. ”

May put down her dim sum and followed closely behind Zhong Liyou: "It's a handsome son! ”

Zhong Liyou stopped and asked, "Is it a son?"

May nodded vigorously: "Not only have we met, but we have also chatted together!"

After listening to May's words, Zhong Liyou became more and more curious about this person, he knew April best, and knew that she had always been steady, even if she was curing diseases and saving people, she would never leave a strange man in the village. Unless- that's someone she knows and is familiar with.

Thinking about it, Zhongli Yu pulled May and quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the guest room.

Sure enough, Zhong Liyou's feet had barely stepped into the threshold when he heard a familiar voice coming from his ears. It's just that he never imagined that this person would be Sun Shuyan.

Seeing Zhong Liyou coming, Sun Shuyan got up from the bed unhurriedly and saluted Zhong Liyou: "Shuyan has seen the young master. ”

April saw Zhong Liyou frowning and wanted to explain, but Zhong Liyou stopped him with a gesture.

Zhong Liyou held Sun Shuyan's hands and cut a pulse for him: "Young Master Sun's injury is no longer serious, it's really gratifying." I can't do without the careful care of my family in April. ”

Sun Shuyan smiled awkwardly: "Naturally, I fainted in front of your mansion thanks to the kindness of the April girl who picked me up for treatment." I originally thought that after I got well, I went to visit the owner of the village and the young owner in person, but my body has been dragging on and was always a little uncomfortable, but I didn't expect the young owner to come over in person today. ”

Zhong Liyou smiled slightly: "It's okay, my father happened to go out to run errands today, so I hope that Young Master Sun will say hello to Master Sun on behalf of my father and me when he returns home." ”

Zhong Liyou is Zhong Liyou, even in the face of people he doesn't want to see, he can always express his own meaning and save face for others. Sun Shuyan is also a smart person, of course he can hear it, Zhong Liyou's words are obviously concerned about his body, but secretly remind him to leave as soon as he is injured. The last sentence of the sentence fully expressed Zhong Liyou's respect and respect for Sun Tai, and even brought Zhong Li Fanjie's friendship to Sun Tai together.

After a long time, Sun Shuyan nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll bring it. Thank you April girl for taking care of me in the past few days, and I will take my leave. Since the owner of Zhongli is not here, then I will come back another day to thank you!

Zhong Liyou smiled and made a gesture of please.

When Sun Shuyan passed by April, April stood in place with reluctance in her eyes, and Sun Shuyan was also reluctant to look at her, but finally left with steps.

Zhong Liyou glanced at them unconsciously, and vaguely felt something in his heart, but with May present, he didn't want to ask anything more.

It wasn't until late in the evening, after dinner, that the moon climbed up the treetops, and April knocked softly on the door of Zhongliyou's study.

"Young owner, I want to see you in April. ”

At this time, Liyou was practicing calligraphy on the desk, and when he saw that there was not much ink left in the inkstone, he called April to enter the door.

"It's just in time, come in and study ink for me!"

April walked up to Zhong Liyou with her head down like a child who had done something wrong, stood vertically in front of the table, scooped a spoonful of water into the inkstone, and skillfully pushed the ink into the inkstone.

Then he reached out and took the ink, put his index finger against the top of the ink, and then sandwiched his thumb and middle finger on both sides of the ink, and gently grinded it, only when he pressed it with a little more force.

After a long time, April finally couldn't help but speak: "Doesn't the young owner have anything to ask?"

Zhong Liyou nodded as if he thought of something: "Ask! Of course you have to ask! Why is there such a big difference between the ink you grind and the ink you grinded in May? I'm afraid that if she studies me for a few more days, all my paper will be wasted." ”

Only then did April relax a little and smile: "May has always been in a hurry, where does she do such a delicate job? This ink study seems simple, but in fact it is not simple." The grinding ink should be slow, the force should be even, and if it is too fast to slip, it will not be able to grind down. Thanks to the young farmer, the owner has always used excellent ink, so I always be delicate and silent when I study ink for the young owner. But in any case, when grinding ink, you should press and turn lightly, first slowly and then quickly, and not too hard, too much force will not be able to grind out the luster. ”

After that, April stopped saying anything. She has been with Zhong Liyou since she was a child, and she knows that Zhong Liyou has always been extremely quiet and silent when he is learning calligraphy and painting.
