This woman is really yelling, although she is still in the courtyard, but the sound is heard all over the room.

Behind Gaffer was quiet, not hearing the slightest movement.

Mrs. Pei still sat like that, her figure froze, she suddenly held up the cane that was lying sideways, and she stood up straight after she followed. Just when Jiafu thought she was going to step out, but she did. Stopped, stood for a moment, and then sat back slowly. It's no different from just now. Only that hand tightly pinched the head of the cane, and several blue veins appeared on the back of the hand, which were clearly visible.

Footsteps have been heard in the courtyard. Gaffer turned her head subconsciously and looked out through the carved jacaranda window in front of her.

In the middle of the night, in the dark blue night sky, a faint mirror moon hung diagonally for half a round, the frost of the early winter night was deep, the old osmanthus outside the window of the tree, the branches and leaves were condensed with a thin layer of white frost. A figure draped in the stars and treading on the moon, came from the thick night, passed through the gate of the yard, walked in this direction, and cast a long shadow on the corridor behind him.

The figure approached, and the pace was getting faster and faster, a few steps up the steps, stepping on the threshold, the shadow of the lamp swayed slightly, and the person turned in from behind the Yingmen.

This is a young man, as bright as jade and as heroic as pine. As he walked closer, the light illuminates his complexion, which is as pale as insufficient blood, but this has not diminished the faint air between his eyebrows. On the contrary, his eyebrows are like ink paintings and his eyes are clear and clear. He was more than one head taller than Gaffer, slightly thinner, with straight shoulders, and walked in. With two eyes, he looked at the door next to Gaffer, getting closer and closer, passing in front of her, not halfway away from her. The distance of the arm.

Gaffer could see clearly, Shuanglu wet his temples, and the cloak of the same color as the night on his shoulders also showed a bit of dampness.

At the first glance, she recognized that he was Pei Youan.

She felt nervous inexplicably, a bit of excitement that she couldn't tell, and her small heart was like a deer bump, and she looked at him unblinkingly. Followed his figure to move, waited for him to come in front, blurted out subconsciously: "Big cousin!"

Pei Youan didn't seem to notice her existence originally, people had already passed her, and turned his head when he heard the sound, and his gaze flicked over her face.

He didn't respond, his eyes fixed on her face.

In his pupils, there was darkness as calm as night, and under the light of the lights, they were as clear and transparent as water. Although they could not be touched, the feeling of cool coldness rushed over his face.

Gaffer's face was hot and a little embarrassed.

He didn't recognize who she was at all.

She opened her small mouth, still hesitating whether to remind him who she was. The man in front of him seemed to have finally recognized her, raised two beautiful eyebrows, and nodded slightly at her in response, and then turned to follow The jade pearl that came up: "Can Grandma be in there?"

His voice is cool and low-melt.

Yuzhu nodded and said in a low voice: "It's inside, it's so late, and I still refuse to go to bed... I didn't expect the uncle to actually rush back. The old lady doesn't know how happy he should be..."

Her eye circles are red.

Pei Youan turned around, stopped in front of the curtain, paused, and said inward: "Grandma, your unfilial grandson Youan is back."

The room was silent.

Pei Youan lifted his clothes and Yuzhu was busy giving him a kneeling mat. He was already kneeling on his knees, and across the door curtain, he said three times inward: "Youan came late and failed to celebrate her grandmother's birthday in time. Grandmother Fuhai Shoushan, Tang Xuan Yongmao , Every year today, every year and now."

There was still no sound in the curtain. Pei Youan touched the ground with his forehead and couldn't kneel down.

For a long time, Yuzhu said: "Old lady...it's cold on the ground, the uncle thinks came from a long distance, and her body is still wet..."

After a while, Mrs. Pei's voice rang: "Get me up! Are you trying to get sick again and tell me to worry about you again?"

Pei Youan immediately got up from the ground, opened the curtain and walked in.

Gaffer held her breath, slowly stepped back from the door, stood on the threshold of the outhouse, hesitated, and was about to call Sandalwood to find her mother, but he heard footsteps rushing in, raised his eyes, and the courtyard huls. People came, Mrs. Xin, Pei Quan, Meng Shi, Pei Xiuzhi, Pei Xiuluo and others hurried in, rushed to the door of the old lady's house, and stopped.

"Mother, did someone say that You'an has returned?"

Mrs. Xin turned her back to Jia Fu, Jia Fu couldn't see her expression, only her voice was tense, like a rubber band pulled at both ends.

Pei Quan and Meng Shi didn't speak, they just waited aside.

When Pei Xiuzhi saw Jiafu, his gaze brightened, he walked to stand next to her, and stopped talking. Jiafu nodded at him, and turned to Pei Xiuluo who greeted him. He showed a slightly disappointed look, and then, his eyes fell on When he walked through the door, his eyes were a little erratic, his expression was not the same as usual, and the corners of his lips were pressed tightly.

"Fu Mei."

Pei Xiuluo was twenty at the end of the year. He had always been good at school, and he was gentle, smiling and nodding with Jiafu.

My aunt Meng seemed a little upset when she didn't get married. Jiafu didn't give her the same warmth when she came here, but this cousin looked the same as before, so she shouldn't care much about it.

"mother-"

Mrs. Xin raised and called again, and there was a sound of footsteps inside. Pei Youan helped Mrs. Pei to walk out.

Mrs. Pei's eyes were slightly red, but the wrinkles on her face stretched out, and she nodded: "It's Youan who returned."

Mrs. Xin seemed to be taken aback, looking at Pei Youan who was already a fully grown man opposite, her eyes froze for a while.

Pei Youan turned to her: "I have seen my mother. I have been away from home for many years, and my mother's health has always been good?"

Madam Xin returned to her senses with a smile on her face, but even Jiafu could see her smile clearly and somewhat reluctantly.

"Okay, okay," she nodded, her lips moved, "just come back, just come back..." Her eyes looked at Mrs. Pei, "Every year till today, I will ask someone to clean your yard, just looking forward to it. You return. I finally returned today, okay, okay..."

"Mom, you have to worry about it." Pei Youan saluted her, turned to Pei Quan and Meng Shi, and also saw the ceremony: "My nephew has seen my second uncle, aunt."

Pei Quan hurriedly told him not to be polite, and Meng even smiled: "You An can be counted back! You have been there for many years, and your second uncle and I will not be reading you someday! I just saw you at first sight and almost couldn't recognize it! I don’t know how much it’s better than before. I’m really relieved! You’ll be fine when you come back. Don’t leave again. How can the family be one less than you?”

Pei Youan said: "Tired uncle and aunt are concerned about me, Youan is very grateful."

Meng snorted: "It's all a family. I'm not grateful for anything. Luoer, come and meet your eldest brother! Your eldest brother is not a few years older than you. Compared with you, the knowledge of articles is in the sky and the underground. He is heaven. The jinshi of the Xi Dynasty is very famous. Although he was young at that time, his articles may not be better than the masters in your studies! This time he is back, you have to learn more from him, and bother him to help you read the articles. , You are brothers who are at a loss, this kind of opportunity, outsiders can't ask for it!"

Pei Xiuluo saw the salute to Pei Youan and respectfully said: "I have seen the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother will take the time and give me advice."

"I haven't touched the article for many years, and Yu Bimo has long been fascinated. I am afraid that he is far less than your third brother. I am back from this trip and I don't expect to stay at home for long. If you have any problems with the article, I will accompany you. You can learn from each other, but you can."

Pei Xiuzhi, who had been silent for a long time, walked up and said with a smile: "Big brother! I didn't say a word when I came back. I should have been out of town to welcome you! If you neglect your big brother, don't blame me, big brother."

Pei Youan turned to him and smiled and said, "Second brother is polite. I'm not here. Grandmother and mother are tired of your filial piety. I should thank you."

"Oh, they are all my own brothers, where are so many people who come from?" Meng smiled, stepped forward and looked at Pei Youan, and sighed: "Sister-in-law, take a look, Youan is rushing back tonight. This is for food on the way. It’s been a lot of bitterness. Mother has already worshipped here, so quickly take a change of clothes and eat some hot meals. It will not be too late for the rest to be said tomorrow."

Madam Xin turned to Madam Pei: "Mother, the wife takes him to rest first..."

Suddenly, there was a cry of children in the side room, and the voice was extremely sharp.

Mrs. Xin's face changed: "Brother Quan!"

"Madam! Old lady! Brother Quan is not good again!"

The nurse ran over in a hurry and was taken aback when seeing so many people there.

"What's wrong with Brother Quan?"

Mrs. Xin asked sharply.

The nurse woke up and hurriedly said: "Just now, Brother Quan woke up and wanted to find his wife, so I took him over. After playing for a while, I was sleepy and fell asleep again. I was afraid that I would hug and blew the wind, so I joined the girl Yuzhu. , I placed my brother here in the old lady and fell asleep. I didn’t want to be able to take care of it just now, and suddenly got the last illness! I was screaming and itching all over, crying a lot!"

Madam Xin's face changed drastically, and she hurried to the side house.

Pei Xiuzhi paused and ordered someone to go to see a doctor quickly. The old lady Pei also showed anxious expression and sighed: "Why are you sick again?"

Gaffer suppressed the feeling of guilt, breathed out slowly, and suddenly heard a voice saying: "Grandma, take a moment. Grandma also knows that when I was a teenager, I studied medicine, and it can be considered as a general medicine. My nephew is in a hurry. Go and see first, can you help him relieve the pain before the imperial doctor comes."

Mrs. Pei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yes, why did grandmother forget! Go ahead."

Pei Youan walked quickly to the side house where Jiafu had just stayed, and Mrs. Pei, Pei Quan and his wife all followed.

Gaffer was very surprised. He didn't expect that Pei Youan had also studied medicine.

Although he only said that he had some medical skills, since he offered to see Brother Quan, his medical skills could never be really superficial.

For some reason, Gaffer suddenly felt a little nervous. Seeing that everyone had gone, he hesitated and followed it slowly. Without going inside, he just stood at the door and looked in.

Brother Quan lay on his back on the couch, surrounded by girl-girls. His head and face were red and swollen, and his crying hiss exhausted. Seeing that his grandmother and great-grandmother were coming, his cry was even sharper. His hands and feet danced and kicked wildly. Unusually, several women wanted to hold his hands and feet together to undress him, but he broke free. One woman was accidentally kicked, and she took two steps back and almost sat down. On the ground.

Mrs. Xin felt distressed and there were tears in her eyes.

Pei Youan ordered everyone to disperse. He stepped forward and pressed the two legs that the child was kicking indiscriminately. Without knowing how he did it, he flexed his thumb and pressed his knuckles against the bottom of the child's feet. The child softened all over, just lay there crying, and smoothly took off his clothes. Only red rashes appeared on his skin, his face was red and swollen, and his eyelids and lips were also swollen.

"I sent it out inexplicably a few days ago. At that time, I asked an imperial doctor, but I couldn't see why it was. I was already healed today. I didn't want to be good, but I got sick again..."

Mrs. Xin was talking aside.

Pei Youan raised Brother Quan’s eyelids, observed for a moment, then leaned over, smelled Brother Quan’s clothes, frowned slightly, thoughtful, suddenly as if thinking of something, raised his eyes, turned his head and turned to stand at the door. Gaffer.

Gaffer couldn't dodge for a while, and met his gaze.

His two eyes were as cold as water and sharp as electricity.

Why does he look at himself suddenly?

Did he discover something?

Gaffer's heart jumped wildly, and at that moment, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the palm of his hand.

"How, what can you see?"

Mrs. Xin asked.

Pei Youan turned back to his gaze and was covered by Brother Quan, and said, "Don't worry. Open the doors and windows for ventilation, give him a bath, change all the clothes inside and outside, and I will prescribe a medicine for pain and itching. It will heal itself slowly."
