Wang Xiu was waiting in the carriage. Because she was afraid of the cold, she asked Rongrong to bring her a smoking basket.
Rongrong thought about accompanying her, but Wang Xiu refused. The reason was that there were many guests at home today, and people had to be present in the kitchen and tea room. Seeing this, Rongrong had to give up.
When Lu Yunhong got into the car, Wang Xiu ignored him. However, seeing that he was cold, he moved the smoke cage a little closer to him.
Lu Yunhong thought of the jokes he had made with his old friends in the past. There was a big difference between having a family and not having a family. The key was that he couldn't understand it at the time, so he could only laugh it off.
But now...
After he covered his hand to warm it, he reached out to hold Wang Xiu's hand and said, "I admitted my mistake in front of my mother, and she gave me a scolding."
Wang Xiu's cheeks felt hot and he said angrily: "Thank you for having the nerve to say it."
Lu Yunhong said solemnly: "What's this? Have you forgotten what mother told us on the way here?"
"I was thinking at the time that I could actually hear those words from her mouth. It was an eye-opener."
"Pfft." Wang Xiu laughed and pulled his hand back.
However, Lu Yunhong quickly took hold of it again, rubbed it for her, put it to his lips and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, wife, I made you suffer with me."
His movements were extremely natural and intimate, and the words he spoke seemed to have been ripped out of his heart.
Wang Xiu's eyes were a little hot and she quickly looked away from him.
In fact... Lu Yunhong is not that bad. Who can say accurately about historical events?
Maybe his character changed drastically after he returned to his hometown in despair and was bullied and insulted?
No matter what, she should believe what she saw with her own eyes.
Wang Xiu thought and sighed quietly.
She looked at the branches outside the window in a daze. Occasionally, she could see lonely birds on the bare branches, chirping, as if calling for something?
The familiar telephone poles no longer exist, and the asphalt roads on the streets have disappeared. The official roads are now paved with dirt and bluestones. When it rains, they are bumpy and slippery. When it doesn't rain, they are bumpy and dusty.
The sky in early spring is very blue, and the sun breaks through the clouds, casting down layers of golden light. Although it is backward, the country is rich and the people are strong, and it has not been invaded by foreigners. And she is a doctor herself, so she basically has no worries.
.
She took a deep breath and planned to plan her future life carefully. At the same time, she also felt that her chest was filled with sweet breath, as if everything had settled.
Lu Yunhong on the side held her hand and rubbed it, sometimes heavier and sometimes lighter. He knew clearly that the current society was far from hers. She could long for everything in the future, but the only thing he could long for was to be with her.
A future together.
Because to him, those things in the past were all dirty and dirty, and there were also the partisanship and the unscrupulous methods that disgusted him.
Lu Yunhong pulled back from his thoughts and his eyes slowly fell on Wang Xiu. He decided to protect the clean land in front of her for the rest of his life. If anyone wants to stain her eyes, don't blame him for returning to his old career.
Get someone to sharpen the knife.
…
After receiving Pei Shan, they quickly went to the magistrate's office.
After lunch, Zhou Xu went to Yingshan Lake with them. When they arrived, Zhou Xu went to find someone, and Lu Yunhong was looking at the drawings.
Wang Xiu saw Pei Shan standing aside. The wind by the lake was very strong, and his temples were blown up. The spring shirt on his body was wrapped around his body, and he was as stiff as a wooden stake. The small baggage on his shoulders followed him.
The wind was swaying, and it looked like he didn't even have any thick clothes.
Wang Xiu asked: "What are you carrying?"
Pei Shan's hands tightened and he said nervously: "These are my changes of clothes."
Wang Xiu thought to herself that it was really thin. She didn't know what kind of house Zhou Xu was looking for. If it was too simple, she and Lu Yunhong would have to help buy it.
Lu Yunhong, who was looking at the drawings, raised his head.
Wang Xiu asked in surprise: "What are you looking at?"
Lu Yunhong: "..."
I didn't see much, except that it was rare to hear her talking about him in her heart in front of Pei Shan, which was a little surprising.
At this time, Pei Shan looked at the couple without knowing why.
Lu Yunhong said: "I'm looking at Pei Shan."
Pei Shan: "..."?
Lu Yunhong then said to Wang Xiu: "The clothes he is wearing are too thin. Ask if there are any ready-made clothes shops nearby and buy him a cotton coat to change into first."
Wang Xiu's eyes lit up, as if she had found a confidant.
"You think so too, I just wanted to say that."
"Okay, just take your time and watch, I'll take him around."
Hearing this, Pei Shan quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm not cold."
Wang Xiudao: "Even if you are not cold, you still need to buy clothes. It is cold in spring and there is still frost at night."
Lu Yunhong closed the drawing, looked at Pei Shan and said, "Can you drive a car?"
Pei Shan nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yunhong said: "Okay, you come and catch the car, and I will go with you."
Wang Xiu looked at Lu Yunhong who was walking next to him, opened his mouth, and didn't say a word for a long time.
She suspected that Lu Yunhong did it on purpose, but she had no evidence. After all, the coachman was happy to be idle.
Lu Yunhong, who pulled her into the car, said he did it on purpose.
What she said just now: "Okay, take your time and watch, I'll take him around." She said it so cheerfully that it made him feel like it would be difficult to get her back if he let her go.
So he thought about it and decided that it was more important to follow his wife.
Pei Shan, who was driving the car, was shivering in the cold wind. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. He felt extremely cold now.
When Zhou Xu found the person and returned, all that was left were wheel marks. Fortunately, the coachman came forward to explain, and they set up a fire rack and waited.
Half an hour later, Lu Yunhong and the others also came back.
But Pei Shan, who was driving, was wrapped like a rice dumpling, so he almost didn't recognize him.
When the carriage stopped, they also moved a lot of things down, such as quilts, cotton-padded clothes, cakes, etc.
Zhou Xu stepped forward and asked, "Are you buying this for Pei Shan?"
Lu Yunhong nodded, glanced at Pei Shan, who was wrapped up tightly, and said to Zhou Xu helplessly: "There is a kind of coldness that my wife thinks he is cold."
Pei Shan was stunned and lowered his head shyly.
When Zhou Xu saw this, he couldn't help laughing.
The group of them sent Pei Shan to the library, where they saw more than a dozen boxes of books. The newly made bookshelf was not in use, except for a few bamboo slips.
Pei Shan checked each one one by one, and soon became very happy and determined to copy the book well.
The local Li Zheng learned that these books were very important and quickly called two villagers to help guard them. Wang Xiu asked Pei Shan to write down their names. From now on, they must remember clearly what time they came and what time they left every day. When the time comes, she
Pay them according to their time.
As soon as they heard about the wages, the two villagers immediately looked enthusiastic.
Before leaving, Wang Xiu asked Pei Shan to pick up his grandfather so that he could take care of him. As for the wages, they were settled as usual.
Pei Shan thought that now that he had money, he could take care of his grandfather. On the way here, he thought of a lot of polite words to refuse. But when he heard Wang Xiu say that it was so that he could take care of his grandfather, he suddenly couldn't say it.
Already.
His throat became tighter, and a surge of gratitude rushed out of his chest. Pei Shan immediately knelt in front of Wang Xiu and said, "Thank you, madam!"
Seeing this, Wang Xiu quickly stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Do you know there is gold under your knees? Get up quickly!"
Pei Shan kowtowed before getting up, but his eyes were already red.
Because he suddenly remembered that when Wang Xiu went to buy quilts, he insisted on buying two quilts.
At the same time, Lu Yunhong said to Zhou Xu: "Be grateful. This is a good seedling. You have to watch it for me."
Zhou Xu understood and said quickly: "Of course, there are not many people at his age who are famous. They were buried by the previous county magistrate."
How could the future of someone who is favored by the Lu family be poor?
Zhou Xu knew that from this moment on, Pei Shan was no longer just a poor scholar.
