Rudonghai

Chapter 200
The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, it is better to ask Yan Zhengnan to try another way: "I remember that the eldest son of the housekeeper settled in Jiangnan. If you go to seek refuge in the past, it is better to have someone who knows the basics to take you around. From It is not easy for a businessman to be an official, but everything must be careful."

Yan Zhengnan looked at his old father whose temples were already graying, his eyes were slightly astringent.He used to be arrogant, always felt that with his father around, it was nothing if the sky fell.

Only now did I understand that my father was old, and it was impossible for him to always be my backer and help him clean up the mess.

Yan Zhengnan thought that he was really unfilial in the past, and was deceived by a beautiful woman, which made Yan's family almost implicated, and almost lost his official position of offering wine.

He felt sorry for his father, stayed in the mansion with nothing to do, eating the salary of sacrificial wine, he just felt his face was hot.After thinking about it for a few days, Yan Zhengnan knew that he couldn't go on like this.

The Yan Mansion didn't have much foundation in the first place, and it might not be a few years before they sit and eat.

The status of businessmen is not high, and Yan Zhengnan used to disdain to be with them.Now, in order to make a living, he has to compromise: "Dad, don't worry, my son knows that businessmen have always been looked down upon by others. I used to offend people with unscrupulous words. I just hope that there are not many people who know me in Jiangnan, and I can travel less." some detours."

Yan Jijiu patted the eldest son on the shoulder, feeling relieved, this son has finally grown up, sensible, and knows how to think about Yan's family: "The husband is just waiting for you to become famous one day, don't underestimate the businessman, this is so small A needle, as big as a treasure in the palace, which one was not obtained from a merchant?"

"Son won't let dad down again," Yan Zhengnan lowered his head, preventing Yan Jijiu from seeing his red eye circles.

Yan Zixin didn't have to pack up her luggage, she just followed Yan Zhengnan and set off for Jiangnan the next day.In order to take care of her body, Yan Zhengnan packed up the carriage and put on three layers of thick bedding, for fear of bumping his unborn nephew or niece.

They only left in the morning, and Gu Xuanyi came to visit in the afternoon.

The concierge didn't let Gu Xuanyi in, but only said that Jijiu was unwell and closed the door to see no visitors.

The servant behind Gu Xuanyi stuffed his purse, and finally opened the porter's mouth, knowing that Yan Zixin had left Jingzhong, he couldn't help being stunned.

He didn't expect this little wife to be so decisive, she left as soon as she said she would leave, without delaying anything.

Maybe Yan Zixin wanted to leave a long time ago, but because there was no excuse.Which wild man did she follow now? Is there a real Gu family seed in her stomach?

The boy inquired again, but the concierge kept his mouth tight and revealed some irrelevant news, but he asked for five hundred dollars, which made him feel distressed: "Young master, the young lady left with Mr. Yan, go I really can't find out where it is. There is also this one, which is said to be left behind by the young lady when she left, so let the concierge deliver it to Gu's residence in person."

Now that Gu Xuanyi has come in person, there is no need to send it over.

Gu Xuanyi opened it and saw that there was a copy of Heli Shu inside. He knew Yan Zixin's handwriting at a glance, so he couldn't help but frown.

He thought that Yan Zixin was just angry for a while, and said out loud, but he didn't expect that he really wanted to make peace with him.

Gu Xuanyi married the daughter of his mentor, and reconciliation would have a great impact on his official career.After all, Yan Jijiu is still there, and the two families are fighting against each other, which is harmful to him but not beneficial.

"Wait here, when the gate of the Yan family will open, let's go in."

He made up his mind to wait outside, and the servant went to buy food, and borrowed a wooden chair, and asked Gu Xuanyi to sit and wait for a whole day.

The gate of the Yan Mansion was closed, with no intention of opening it.Gu Xuanyi got a little impatient waiting, especially when there were more and more people passing by, he sat uncomfortably, and when he got up, he waved his hand to signal the servant to take the chair away, and knelt down in front of the Yan Mansion door.

It was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and there were more and more colleagues around.

Yan Jijiu was reading a book in the study room, he only raised his eyebrows when he heard about it, and sighed: "I didn't expect that after half my life, I would still be mistaken."

He loves Gu Xuanyi, a talented and intelligent student. It just so happened that his daughter fell in love with Gu Xuanyi at first sight, so he went along with the flow and matched the two.

Who would have thought that this smart and sensible student who worked hard in front of Yan Jijiu actually had a lot of eyes?
What does it mean to kneel in front of the gate of Yan Mansion, forcing him to open the door?

With so many people staring at her, sooner or later the rumors will spread. How can Yan Zixin go out to meet people?

Fortunately, my daughter left early and didn't see such a terrible situation, otherwise she would definitely be furious again, wouldn't she have wronged her grandson?

"Since he likes to kneel, let him kneel. If someone outside the door asks, he will only say that the old man is sick, and he drank the medicine early and fell asleep, but he can't wake up." Yan Jijiu was very disappointed with Gu Xuanyi, What he hates the most in his life is when someone threatens him!

But he was still his favorite student in this life, so he was ashamed to do so!

Gu Xuanyi didn't expect Yan Jijiu to be so unkind, he knelt for a full two hours, his knees were red, swollen and painful, and the real eyes around him were even more uncomfortable.

He winked at the servant quietly, and quickly fell to the ground.

The servant understood, and shouted in panic: "What's wrong with the eldest young master? Recently, he has been working hard for the funeral of the second girl, and he has to take care of the master. His body is so weak, how can he bear it?"

He supported Gu Xuanyi, summoned the bearers nearby, worked together to carry him in, and hurried back to the mansion.

Some people lamented that sacrificial wine was not kind to the students, no matter what wrong things they did, it was too much to make people faint on their knees.

However, some sharp-eyed people noticed that something was wrong with Gu Xuanyi, and sneered: "You think this is a real dizziness, but it's just a fake? Mr. Jijiu has always been honest and tolerant, it must be something that the young master of the Gu family has done to the Yan family. Otherwise, how could it make him fly into a rage and not even open the door of the house?"

Many people agreed, after all, Yan Jijiu was very popular, and he was notoriously good-tempered. He had never heard of anyone making red faces in his official career for decades.

Another person happened to see Yan Zixin returning to Yan's house, and then hurriedly followed Yan Zhengnan to leave the capital. They couldn't help guessing that Gu Xuanyi might not be able to tolerate this wife who had been childless for three years and drove her away. Could it be that he was planning to take a concubine? ?

There was a lot of discussion for a while, and there were different opinions.

However, Gu Xuanyi suffered a great crime, and was carried back to Lingxiao Pavilion by the servants. He only felt the burning pain in his legs, which didn't seem to be his at all.

The doctor had been invited long ago. Seeing his rolled up trouser legs exposing his swollen knees, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "Young Master Gu has been kneeling for too long, his Qi and blood are blocked, his body bones are originally thin, and the weather is cold. I'm afraid it's frostbite, at least I need to recuperate for a few months to recover."

Hearing this, Gu Xuanyi's heart suddenly turned cold: "It's only two hours, how long will this leg take?"

He even wondered if the doctor was talking seriously, trying to swindle money from himself.

The doctor stroked his beard and said displeasedly: "Young master, don't underestimate this leg. If you kneel for another two hours, it will be a waste. Now I can only use acupuncture to slowly get out the bruise on the knee. Even if It will be fine in the future, but it is inevitable that there will be a dull pain when it is cold."

Gu Xuanyi sent the doctor away, but the servant looked at him and invited another well-known doctor, who said the same thing.

He was immediately disheartened, and he didn't expect to hurt himself in a bitter trick!

Can't go out and walk around, can't go to the yamen, and will be raised for a few months. Will there be a place for me when I go back?

Gu Xuanyi thought of how hard it was to secure his official position, and felt a little bit regretful about going to the Yan Mansion, and even made a cruel trick on a whim, but in the end he cheated himself!

Now there is no one in charge in the mansion, Yan Zixin is gone, Master Gu is still ill, it's really inconvenient for him to have such legs and feet.He looked at the confidant boy beside him, and said in a low voice: "For the funeral of the second girl, everything that should be prepared must be ready. Shouldn't be happy."

The boy quickly agreed, feeling very happy, it seems that his young master is going to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

Sure enough, the good job of purchasing fell on his head, and he promised repeatedly: "Don't worry, the eldest son, the younger one will definitely handle it well, so that the funeral affairs of the second girl will be in a good mood, so she can go away with peace of mind."

Gu Xuanyi is the most impatient to deal with these trivial matters. Now that someone does it for him, he is naturally happy, entrusting all his brains to his confidant, and immediately feels relaxed.

His legs and feet were injured, and he needed acupuncture and medicine every day, so he just lay on the soft couch and read a book, asking questions occasionally, and then he didn't care about things anymore.

It's just that the leg injury has not healed for a long time, and there is no improvement.Half a month later, Gu Xuanyi still couldn't stay in the bed, let alone get up and walk around.

He was displeased, so he found a servant and asked his confidant to change to a doctor: "What quack doctor, the leg injury has not recovered?"

The little servant smiled and said: "Don't be upset, young master. This doctor is the most famous in the market. He was once invited by the imperial hospital, but declined because of the ancestral precepts. He has excellent medical skills. I'm afraid it's because of a serious leg injury, so the medicine is slow. But it can be cured gradually, otherwise the root cause of the disease will be left behind, wouldn't it make the young and old suffer in the future?"

Gu Xuanyi listened, and it made some sense, so he put it down for the time being.It's just that it's inconvenient to move, and the number of times he took him to visit Mr. Gu became less and less.Before he was injured, he went to visit Crane Garden once a day.

Now that he has bad legs and feet, and the wheelchair that the servant asked to make has not yet been completed, he can only be carried by the guards.

One time was fine, but after many times, Gu Xuanyi just felt like a useless person, and didn't like going out of the yard very much.

After seeing Master Gu last time, it has now been ten days. He felt guilty, even though he was not happy, he still called the guards to come in and carry him to Heguiyuan, but was stopped by the servant: "The young master's leg is injured. You can't walk around at will, lest the bones grow crooked, this is specially explained by the doctor."

Hearing this, Gu Xuanyi looked at his own legs and had no choice but to give up.He didn't want to wait for his legs and feet to recover, but he couldn't get up and walk. How could this be human?
After a full month, no matter how dull he was, he realized that something was wrong.
