As for how Li Shimin and Empress Changsun called Li Chengqian and his wife to reprimand them, that was not something Fang Yiai could handle for the time being.
Let Fang Qi go home first and tell him that he will go home later today. Then Fang Yi Ai went directly to the medical clinic to collect the medicinal materials and organize the patent medicines that may be needed tomorrow, just in case.
After saying hello to Luo Ziyuan and others who were attending tonight's consultation, Fang Yiai carried a prepared medicine box and walked out of the medical center. She stood outside the door and thought that she had been busy these past few days and hadn't seen much.
Sun Yunniang, why not drop by and tell Sun Yunniang that Blacksmith Feng will be back in four or five days.
Sun Yunniang and others were preparing for dinner when they saw Fang Yiai coming in carrying a medicine box. Although she was happy, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Hey, it's rare that Brother Cui is also at home." After greeting Sun Yunniang, Fang Yiai saw Cui Yufan sitting next to Sun Yunniang and said, directly inserting a stool between Jin Qi and Jin Lin, and sat down
Come down.
"Yeah, it's rare to meet you." Cui Yufan nodded and said, "Let's have a drink, Ling'er, bring the wine glass and the bamboo leaf green I brought back a few days ago."
Jin Ling'er looked back and forth between Fang Yiai and Cui Yufan, frowning slightly.
"Forget it, I don't know if something will happen in the middle of the night. I'd better not drink today, otherwise it will be bad if I can't get up." Fang Yiai waved his hand and said.
"What's wrong? I see you still have the medicine box with you. Is someone sick?" Cui Yufan asked.
"Is the matter unresolved this afternoon?" Sun Yunniang obviously heard something at the Taiyuan Hospital and asked.
"The child was seriously injured. The cotton-padded clothes on his body were beaten into strips, and there was blood all over him. There was even a shocking whip mark on the back of his head." Fang Yiai said sympathetically, letting Jin Ling'er do her work.
While adding dishes and chopsticks to himself, he rubbed Jin Qi and Jin Lin lovingly beside him, and continued, "That child is only less than two years older than Qi'er and Lin'er."
"Whose child is it? What happened to make you go there? Isn't there a doctor in the Imperial Hospital?" Cui Yufan said in confusion.
"He is my grandson, General Shangfenghou. I wrapped the child when he was born. Even his name, Yang Fan and Yang Ping'an, was given by me at the request of his mother," Fang Yiai said.
.
When he heard that Yang Fan was in trouble, Cui Yufan's expression barely changed, but his expression became much stiffer. The joints of the hand holding the chopsticks were slightly white, and his eyes inadvertently gave out a cold light, trying to keep it as straight as possible.
His voice softened and he asked, "Such a small child should be watched by someone. How could something happen?"
Suddenly aware of the cold look in Cui Yufan's eyes, Fang Yi became suspicious. He glanced at Cui Yufan in confusion, and then looked at Sun Yunniang and Jin Ling'er inquiringly, wondering why Cui Yufan suddenly
Suddenly his face changed?
Sun Yunniang sighed and glanced at the two children beside Jin Ling'er and Fang Yi'ai. Jin Ling'er frowned slightly, looked at Fang Yi'ai, quickly looked away, and looked at Cui Yufan inquiringly.
The two children, with their dark eyes, were looking back and forth at the adults. Although they were curious, they were too obedient to make a sound.
Seeing Jin Ling'er's probing eyes, Cui Yufan finally realized his gaffe. He realized that the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became a little lifeless because of his urgent words. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and explained
"I'm just afraid of the New Year's Eve. If Lin'er goes out naughty and doesn't watch, and accidentally offends that person, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for Lin'er."
"Indeed, many vassal kings are coming to the capital one after another. It is estimated that any pedestrian on the road might be a prince or noble. Lin'er must be restrained these days." Fang Fang.
Yiai rubbed Jinlin's head, looked down at Jinlin and said.
"Godfather, I know everything. What grandma, mother and eldest brother said made my ears prick up." Jin Lin pouted and said, and even pulled his ears to let Fang Yiai see if they were really long inside.
Cocooned.
"Just listening is not enough. If you listen to Jin Qi obediently, during the Chinese New Year, your godfather will carve a beautiful small wooden sword for you and Jin Qi. If you don't behave, only Jin Qi's will be yours, not yours."
It's yours." Fang Yiai pinched Jinlin's face and said seductively.
"Don't worry, godfather, I will be good." Jin Lin patted his chest with his chubby hands and said, leaning forward and shouting to Jin Qi on the other side of Fang Yiai, "Brother, look at me, son."
, I can testify for me in front of my godfather later, and I can’t let my godfather rely on my little wooden sword.”
"Okay!" Jin Qi smiled and nodded seriously.
"Why, my godfather is so untrustworthy in front of your kid? He deserves a big butt just for this one thing." Fang Yiai pretended to be angry and slapped Jinlin on the head.
Seeing Fang Yiai and the two children so close, Cui Yufan was confused. He suddenly had the illusion that Fang Yiai, Jin Qi and Jin Lin were close blood relatives. He subconsciously looked at Jin Ling.
Son.
Jin Ling'er's face remained normal, but when she looked at the child, a soft light flashed in her eyes.
Cui Yufan felt that he had thought too much. He remembered what happened to Yang Fan and felt a little uneasy, so he still managed to lead the conversation to Yang Fan.
Fang Yiai thought of Jin Lin's naughtiness, and in order to teach Jin Lin a warning lesson, Fang Yiai looked at Cui Yufan with a strange look, whose expression showed anxiety unconsciously, and then told him in general what she knew.
Before Fang Yi finished speaking, the murderous intention in Cui Yufan's heart was already so strong that it was about to explode!
Jin Ling'er felt a chill in her heart. She looked at Jin Qi and Jin Lin protectively, thinking that if someone dared to bully her two sons like this, even if it was the Emperor, she, Jin Ling'er, would risk her life to kill her first.
The opponent was killed by his horse!
No, I have to urge my two sons to practice martial arts later, so that they will not be able to fight back if they are bullied in the future!
Seeing Jin Ling'er's determined gaze, Jin Qi and Jin Lin shrank their heads unconsciously, and leaned towards Fang Yiai as if they were looking for someone to support them.
Sun Yunniang frowned, and she couldn't understand how such an exquisite and intelligent woman as Concubine Tai Tong could have two such incompetent brothers.
"That child is also suffering a fate. Yi Ai, please pay more attention. No matter what, the child is innocent." Sun Yunniang sighed and explained to Fang Yi Ai, with unstoppable pity in her eyes.
"Hou Zanjun and his godfather will arrive in Beijing in four or five days' journey. However, in order for Hou Zanjun to take care of his godfather in the army, I will do my best to keep this child, otherwise I will feel ashamed to see Hou Zanjun."
Fang Yiai said.
"Did you hear that? Lin'er, you can't be so naughty on the street in the future without an adult following you!" Cui Yufan tried hard to calm down the fluctuating emotions in his heart, looked at Jin Lin, and said sternly.
"I know, dad." Jin Qi trembled with fright, shrank into Fang Yiai's arms, and said in a tearful voice, obviously frightened by Cui Yufan's sudden severity.
Even Jin Qi was startled and looked at the unfamiliar Cui Yufan leaning against Fang Yiai with some fear.
Jin Ling'er glanced at Cui Yufan displeasedly, reached out to grab the Jinqi next to her, and comforted her silently.
"Yu Fan, you have to teach your children slowly and don't be too impatient. Moreover, although Lin'er is a little naughty, he also knows how to behave in his heart. If you have something to say, just say it slowly." Sun Yunniang looked at Jin Lin who didn't dare to look up, and said to Cui Yu
Fan said.
"My mother-in-law, please forgive me, but I was too impatient." Cui Yufan took a deep breath and said apologetically to Sun Yunniang.
After saying that, Cui Yufan stood up and came to Fang Yiai, wanting to take over Jin Lin who was nestled in Fang Yiai's arms. Jinlin quickly glanced at Cui Yufan, then returned to Fang Yiai's arms.
She clutched Fang Yiai's clothes and refused to let go.
Fang Yiai glanced at Cui Yufan who was also embarrassed, patted Jinlin's back, and said, "You brat, your father is also worried about you. You talk a little harshly, but you still have the energy? Even you
If you can’t stand even one of my father’s harsh words, where will you find the courage to go up to the mountains with your godfather to fight tigers in the future? Huh?”
"Who said I can't stand it! I, I, I was just joking with dad." Jin Lin raised his head from Fang Yiai's arms and said boldly, looking at Cui Yufan carefully, his voice became louder and louder.
It gets finer and thinner until it's almost inaudible.
"Oh? Really?" Fang Yiai said, pretending to be suspicious.
"Of course, I will fight a big tiger for my godfather in the future!" Seeing that Fang Yiai didn't believe him, Jin Lin immediately stood up and said unconvinced, and even took the initiative to extend his little hand to Cui Yufan next to him,
Let Fang Yiai see that what she said was not a lie.
"Lin'er just fights tigers for his godfather, doesn't he have a father's role?" Cui Yufan nodded towards Fang Yiai, hugged Jin Lin and returned to his seat, teasing Jin Lin.
"If Dad wants it, I will fight a tiger for him." The child's temper was getting faster. At this moment, Jinlin's face was full of thoughts about fighting a big tiger, and he raised his little fists and raised his eyes high-spiritedly.
From time to time, he glanced at Fang Yiai and made faces at Fang Yiai.
Seeing Cui Yufan and Jin Ling'er, each holding a child, chatting and eating happily, Fang Yi felt an inexplicable feeling of loss in his heart, and a feeling of emptiness emerged, as if something was missing in his heart.
A piece of it is average.
Shaking his head and suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Fang Yiai accompanied Sun. Yun Niang talked about what happened in Da'anfang earlier and what to prepare for Feng Blacksmith. The meal passed like this.
After bidding farewell to Sun Yunniang and others, Fang Yiai rode a horse and took the medicine box, slowly heading towards Fang's house.
Although it is cold in winter and the nights are dark, because there are so many people celebrating the New Year in Jingtong City this year, the night markets everywhere are even more lively. The excitement will not stop until the moment before the curfew.
However, walking on this lively street, listening to the shouts and laughter in her ears, Fang Yiai suddenly felt that the bustling crowd seemed so far away from her.
I am just like a spectator outside the hustle and bustle. There is no ripple in my calm heart. In other words, there is a missing piece in my heart that prevents me from being excited at all...(To be continued)
