11. Private Grant - Chilled Lotus Seed Soup

When Yan Bing saw the Rong brothers behind Mrs. Ye, she was so surprised that she even forgot about her deaf left ear for a while.

I've always heard that Erlang is sick and not in good condition, but I didn't expect that he would be able to go out to meet people in just one month. It's just that it's thinner than before, and its complexion has become pale, and it looks like a frail body that has just recovered from a serious illness.

Da Lang's face also faded, and he seemed to be much richer and taller when he changed into a fine silk light gauze shirt and pants, and he changed from a child to a little boy in the blink of an eye, almost unrecognizable.

The two of them originally had a serious face, but when they saw Yan Bing looking over, they immediately bent their eyebrows and smiled lightly, and saluted each other.

Ye Shi smiled and said: "Please Li Siye don't blame the slave family for coming uninvited, it is really a distant nephew in the family who has a lot of connections with Wu Niang, and after getting the news from Xi Shizi, these two stupid boys were so anxious that they insisted that Yang Xue serve the imperial doctor come over and take a look." ”

He also said that the imperial doctor Xue had just rescued the little nephew from Lord Yama, and his medical skills were really exquisite, and he would definitely be able to help the little lady.

After such an greeting, although Li Siye felt that this Ye family came abruptly, he hoped that his niece could be cured by the imperial doctor's consultation, how could he find the imperial doctor himself, at most find a lower-level doctor. Now I have to ignore the identity of the other party's eunuch's family and ask the imperial doctor to help.

Because the two of them were old and young, there was no need to shy away from it, the old doctor immediately checked Yan Bing's pulse on the spot, and ordered someone to hold a candle and hold a mirror to illuminate the hall and the room, and carefully checked her left ear.

"How, can it still be saved?" When everyone saw that the imperial doctor motioned to the maidservant girl to extinguish the candle, they hurriedly asked.

It is not strict, if there is no accident, it can be cured by itself after three or five months, this is the diagnosis of the imperial doctor Xue, but he replied with a posture of a bamboo in his chest: "A little troublesome, by the old man applying acupuncture and supplemented by plasters, it should be cured within half a year." ”

That's great! Yan Bing was suddenly overjoyed, and couldn't help but hug the friends around her in turn, Ah Yi was followed by Erlang, until she hugged the obviously taller Da Lang She remembered the words "men and women don't kiss each other", and let go of a step back with some embarrassment.

Li Siye and Lu Shi didn't notice what she was doing, they were just full of surprise when they heard the words, and thanked the Imperial Doctor Xue and Mrs. Jun, and said, "Fortunately, fortunately!" Then you will have to worry about it from then on. ”

With such a final word, Yan Bing and her brother began to borrow their grandfather's house to recuperate. Although the family lives with Gao Tang here, the grandparents also don't care about things, the eldest uncle and aunt of the head of the family are close, the cousin Li Yan and the cousin Li Wan are both knowledgeable and courteous, and the little uncle Shenlong sees the head and does not see the tail, so it is not afraid to give birth to a daughter.

This kind of life under the fence is actually quite comfortable.

The Imperial Doctor Xue was really good at healing, and in less than two months, Yan Bing's ears could hear a little sound, and he was completely cured after four months.

The whole family was overjoyed, coinciding with the fifth birthday of the twins, Mrs. Li simply let the eldest daughter-in-law Lu hold a family banquet to celebrate, in addition to the Xi family led Si Yan and Si Niang to replace the Li family who was about to give birth, and also invited Mrs. Jun to bring her nephew to participate, and everyone was happy and lively.

At the beginning of the night, Li Si, a grandfather who was a little fat and asthmatic, began to feel in good spirits, and saw Ah Yi sitting at the bottom and dozing off while watching juggling, so he smiled and persuaded everyone to leave the venue and go to rest.

At this moment, a slave suddenly rushed over and reported to the son: "Li Niangzi of Shu Assassin Shifu suddenly slipped and gave birth ahead of schedule!" ”

Li Si stood up abruptly and said hurriedly: "Is this born or not?" Mrs. Li hurriedly supported her husband and advised him not to be in a hurry and listen to others.

"I gave birth to a daughter, I am happy, and my mother and daughter are safe!" The servant, who was almost scolded after saying half of the words, hurriedly bowed down to report the good news, and after getting the reward, Fang Lezi retreated.

"Great, then we have to go back and see A-Niang, right?" Hearing this news, Yan Bing still felt a little happy although she knew that what the Li family wanted was her son.

She still remembered the ominous words she overheard in the post house, Li didn't like herself and Ah Yi, but she couldn't give birth to a son this time, and Ah Ye was old and not in the capital, so he would definitely not be able to regenerate, and Ah Yi would have to be kind to him if he had a son to rely on in the future.

As for the fact that Li's gave birth more than half a month ahead of schedule, Yan Bing felt that it was completely negligible, and the expected date of delivery was just an estimate.

However, the reality is not as she imagined, even if she gave birth to a daughter, the Li family is still full of enthusiasm for the child, and the twins in front of her are still just passable, if there is really anything bad that can't be said, Xingyi and Yanbing can feel her faint rejection from the heart.

On the 100th day of the Sixth Niang Yanqing Dynasty, Mrs. Li took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate in the mansion and took Li's hand to discuss: "Since Ah Fang wants to raise the little ones who can't take care of it, it is better to let Ah Yi and Ah Bing live permanently at their uncle's side, so that my wife and son can also have a companion in their old age, and be happy." ”

Li Shi was not happy, stroked his forehead and turned his head to look at the roof beam, and said slowly: "Then how can it be like words?" Although their father is in office, they are not without a mother. Since I'm out for both months, why don't I let them move back home? ”

Yan Bing, who was sitting on the side, was almost dumbfounded when she saw Li's almost direct glance at Old Madam Li, and her answer made her even more unhappy - I don't want to come back and be scared and angry.

"But, Auntie, my uncle thinks that we can be enlightened at the age of five, and we have been studying at home for the first two months!" After Yan Bing finished saying this, she counted with her fingers, "In the morning, I have to read "Thousand Character Text" and "Enlightenment Training", after taking a nap, I will draw red and learn chess, listen to the piano and taste tea at dusk, and listen to my aunt say that I will learn more in the future." Who should I learn from when I go home? ”

When I went home, not only did I have nowhere to learn, but I also had no friends. Because of the Rong brothers' life-saving grace and the referral of injuries, the eldest uncle finally put aside his identity prejudices a while ago and accepted them into the Li family's family study.

"That's right, it's not good to delay the child's studies," Mrs. Li nodded and said, "They are too young to work the road, so it's better to live at home, and when they are older, they will go to school with the four mothers and four people of the Shu family in the future." ”

This is reasonable, and the Li family didn't want them to go home because they missed their children, but just a gesture. She looked at her little daughter sleeping soundly in the cradle, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly looked up at Mrs. Li: "Then in the future, A-Qing will also follow this practice?" ”

"If you are willing, you can do so." Old Madam Li nodded immediately. Who can tell what will happen in five or six years, it is not a loss to exchange a promise for children and grandchildren around the knee, not to mention, even the two from the Shu family have been accepted, even if the youngest one is attached to the school, it doesn't matter.

Li Shi showed a gentle smile after hearing this: "Then continue like this, A-Niang really doesn't have the energy to enlighten you personally, so I have to trouble your uncle and aunt." Ah Yi, Ah Bing, you must be obedient and don't be naughty. ”

"Thank you, Auntie, we must study hard (every day)." Yan Bing held Ah Yi's hand and smiled brightly, so everyone was happy.

……

Time flies, and five years have passed in a flash.

It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, which coincided with the time when the lotus flowers were in full bloom and the green leaves were not left. Yan Bing, who was wearing a small double bun, was wearing a Hunan concubine-colored gauze skirt, and was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the lotus leaves and painting.

She first painted a few lotus leaves with different shades of willow green and oil green, then outlined a swimming koi fish with vermilion and madder, and then used a touch of powder and paper to point out the sharp lotus buds, and a "Lotus Leaf Swimming Fish" was completed.

After putting down the pen and carefully examining his paintings, Yan Bing smiled with satisfaction, and then asked the maid to pack up the utensils, and walked slowly along the verandah to his brother Ah Yi, who was supporting another painting stall not far away.

"I've done my homework, how about you? Ho, that's good, I've got to keep it! Yan Bing raised her chin to look at Ah Yi's paper, he was also collecting his pen, but he drew "Girl Watching Lotus Painting", which was a step higher than his own.

This is the difficulty of being a brother and sister of the same age as a prodigy, although in essence, he is a little older, but he can't learn anything as fast as Ah Yi, except for him and Rong Jiaerlang is also an unforgettable, Yan Bing works hard to barely keep up with their pace, which hurts his self-esteem.

Cousin Li Yan is also a strong man, this year before the weak crown is already in high school, but the eldest brother Ah Sheng unfortunately landed again and is ready to switch to Ming Jingke.

As for the Rong family Lang, he was even more amazing, he only stayed at home for two years after a few years of delay in the village, and then he was admitted to the Guozi School for further study, and now he has set the next imperial examination as his goal.

When it was mentioned that Yan Bing, the brother of the Rong family, couldn't help but look around and asked, "What about Ah Heng?" Where are you hiding and being lazy? After entering the school, the Rong brothers were officially adopted by General Duan, and Wen Heng was Erlang's name.

"He said he was going to paint hibiscus flowers in the camphor forest," Ah Yi replied by pointing in the direction of Zhuangzi's main entrance, "Brother Wen Yuan of his family said that he was coming to see us on a holiday today, and Wen Heng probably wanted to pick up his brother near the door." ”

"Then let's go, let's go and pick it up together, seeing that the sun is getting higher and higher, we quickly take it back to the house. Warm incense, go back and prepare the chilled lotus seed soup. After Yan Bing shouted at the personal maid, she took Ah Yi's hand and walked out together.

As soon as the two of them walked to the edge of the camphor forest, they saw a pale little boy in blue sneaking out, rushing out quickly, rushing to their brother and sister while coughing and teasing: "Hey, my brother was blocked by your fourth sister and handed over the purse!" Go see it? I couldn't hold back my cough and hurried out, I didn't see the back, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Yes? Isn't it, Siniang just got married last month, so she learned to teach each other privately?
