Red apricots make spring

Chapter 5

The sun was warm, and the rocks were slightly scalded by the sun, and the pool water by the rocks rippled in the wind, and after a while, it calmed down again. It was an afternoon in autumn, and it was so comfortable that it made people feel drowsy.

A woman in a smokey green jacket was leaning on a rock, holding a baby boy who looked only three or four months old in her arms. Looking at the branches hanging from the top of the head, and the green leaves on the branches.

The woman was obviously very sleepy too, with her eyes slightly closed, she patted the baby boy in her arms, as if she wanted to coax him to sleep, and also seemed to coax herself to sleep.There were strands of hair scattered on the side of her face, a little messy in the neatness, which made her look more feminine and elegant, with a soft luster like a natural pearl.

"Sister, don't fall asleep, be careful not to fall headfirst into the pool." A woman in the Mood for Love flashed out from behind the tree, but she had her hair up and she was dressed as a married woman.At this moment, she had a smile on her face, but there was a bit of helpless bitterness in her smile, as if there was some unsolved problem, she sat sideways on the rock and sighed softly: "It's useless, I've persuaded her, but she still refuses to solve it." Eat."

The woman who was called the elder sister was awakened, and the drowsiness disappeared immediately. She frowned slightly, looked down at the baby in her arms and said, "Has it been two days?"

"It's been two days without a drop of water. I think she looks like she wants to die... Why don't you go and persuade her?"

"Me? What can I persuade her? If she can't think about feelings, no matter how hard the onlookers try to persuade her, it will be useless." The woman holding the baby smiled bitterly: "I originally thought she had experienced family problems. After the drastic changes in my life, I can see this kind of thing more openly, but I didn't expect it to be like this..."

The two were worried about each other, and they were relatively speechless for a while.

At this time, a maid came running from a distance, her face was full of anxiety, and she yelled indiscriminately: "Madam, Miss Huan, it's not good! You go and have a look, Miss Zhao has passed out!"

The one who was called Mrs. Lu Ce was naturally Wen Wen who was married to Lu Ce, the girl who was dressed as a married woman was Xiaohuan, and the girl Zhao who passed out was Zhao Yan.

Since Ye Yu personally came to the door two days ago to propose marriage to the gentle servant girl Cai Yun, Zhao Yan, who was full of admiration for Ye Yu, started a hunger strike after hearing the news.She doesn't want to live anymore, she already has nothing in this world, and now even the only important person to her has to marry someone else, so what else in this world can she miss?It's better to die, it's done once and for all, without dragging others down, and not wronging yourself.

Hearing the news, Ruan Wen and Xiaohuan rushed to Zhao Yan's residence. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhao Yan lying on the bed. When she was unconscious, she was given a few sips of water, and she was already awake, but her eyes staring at the ceiling were very dull. And Wushen is like a well that has dried up for many years and has no business.

"Why can't you think about it like this?" Rourou saw her like that, regretful and helpless, she had persuaded everything that should be persuaded, but Zhao Yan couldn't listen, she really had no choice, it seems that softness can't be done, only hard, She said cruelly to the servant girl beside her: "Please go doctor, please doctor He Linhe!"

Hearing the name He Lin, Zhao Yan finally moved his eyes slightly, opened his mouth, and forced out a hoarse voice: "Don't...don't go..."

Although she had never met He Lin, but she was close to the Lu family, how could she not have heard this name from the mouths of those servant girls?She knew that this man had excellent medical skills and could raise the dead, flesh and bones. Even when Wen Rou was imprisoned, when the situation was critical, he relied on him to treat the emperor and beg for mercy before he could get out of the prison. If you come here, I'm afraid even if you go on a hunger strike, you won't die at all.

"Okay, don't go." He smiled softly, "If you are willing to eat, then naturally you don't have to bother Dr. He." In fact, she was just bluffing Zhao Yan. He Lin has a very weird temper. They have always been friends, but it is not easy to ask him to move. She is really not sure that he will save Zhao Yan's life.

When she was told to eat, Zhao Yan closed her eyes again, and refused to nod despite Xiaohuan's good words.After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at the worried gentleness sitting on the edge of the bed. She couldn't tell what she was feeling in her heart. She was a little envious, but also jealous and grateful. Her emotions were very complicated.

How could she not know?The person Ye Yu has always liked is gentleness, from the beginning to the end, it hasn't changed at all, even if she has married and given birth to a second son, this feeling is still like Chen Feng's strong wine, subtle and strong.Of course, no one would tell her about this kind of emotional entanglement, and Ye Yu would never mention it, but the way he looked at her was obviously different, so hot and affectionate, Zhao Yan sometimes thought, if he could look at her with that kind of look One look at her, even just one look, is worth her life.However, it never happened!
If Ye Yu wanted to marry Cai Yun because he really liked Cai Yun three points, then the other seven points must be because of tenderness!Zhao Yan knew very well in his heart that Caiyun was gentle and close servant girl, and Ye Yu was infatuated with gentleness, so marrying Caiyun would always make him feel closer to gentleness.

What about yourself?Zhao Yan sighed sadly after thinking about it, knowing that Ye Yu hated the Zhao family deeply, maybe this was the reason why she missed the good match.She turned her gaze away from Wen Rou, no one can blame her for this matter, if she wants to complain, she can only blame good fortune for tricking others, only if Ye Yu doesn't love Wen Rou, or she doesn't love Ye Yu herself, this deadlock can be resolved.

"Be obedient, drink some porridge." Rourou took a very refreshing porridge with mushrooms and wild vegetables from the maidservant's hand, which she had boiled and heated on the stove before, and prepared for Zhao Yan to drink it while it was hot if he wanted to , but looking at her at this moment, it is really impossible not to eat something, so someone brought it up.

The porridge is vegetarian, but I don't know what ingredients are added in it. The aroma is extremely attractive. Zhao Yan has never been able to resist the delicious food cooked by Wen Rou. Besides, the physical reaction cannot be controlled psychologically, so the stomach growled involuntarily. After yelling twice, she blushed with embarrassment, and turned her head and buried herself in the blanket.

"Look, you're obviously hungry, so don't make things difficult for yourself." Xiaohuan reached out to pull her, but couldn't pull her up no matter what, so she had no choice but to look at Rourou, expressing that there was nothing she could do.

The bowl of porridge with an attractive fragrance was placed on the table, from hot to warm, and finally turned cold, no one touched it again.Zhao Yan felt that her heart was like that bowl of porridge, from being hot at the beginning to being cold now, but even if it was cold, she couldn't forget the first time she saw Ye Yu. Looking back now, the original heartbeat and the faint sweetness of first love have all turned into bitterness, as if she was forced to drink this month's medicine.

"How is it? Are you planning to get up and drink medicine by yourself today, or let me prick the acupuncture points with silver needles as usual?"

The man in front of him had a weird haircut that was so short that it seemed to prick his hands. He was so dirty as if he hadn't bathed in his entire life, but the strange thing was that there was no smell!But the smile on his face made people feel bored, Zhao Yan snorted shamelessly, turned away and ignored him.

She rarely does such embarrassing things, but facing him, it seems that all face, morality, and scruples can be put aside, because he has seen her in the most embarrassing state, and the most unscrupulous She also heard the words from his mouth. At first, she turned pale in shock, but she gradually got used to it. Until now, she can still listen to his accusations of hypocrisy of morality and ethics with a cheeky face, and no longer refute him. There is still a little bit of agreement, but she dare not admit it.

"I'm very busy, I only give you 10 minutes to think about it." He Lin took out an hourglass from his arms, put it on the table, nodded and said: "10 minutes, no more, no less, if you don't cooperate, I will I don't mind using strong ones."

He was forcibly dragged out of bed by Lu Ce one night a month ago. Originally, he was unwilling to cooperate, but Lu Ce smiled and told him that if he didn't come, he would set fire to all the medicinal materials he had hoarded.He has known Lu Ce for a long time, and he knows that this man will do what he says. Faced with such a threat, he doesn't even care about his own life, but he has no choice but to condescend to cooperate with the medicine. .

He had no interest in this woman lying on the bed at first, but he used silver needles to prick her acupoints for a month to irrigate her with medicine to keep her alive, but it also brought his acupuncture skills to a higher level, and he was almost practicing to the level of a god. You don't even need to look at your eyes. As soon as you lift your finger, the needle will go in. You can open this woman's mouth as much as you want, and you can give her as much medicine as you want. You can even call it "for her" it is good.

To He Lin, doing this kind of thing that is close to a prank seems quite interesting, and this woman is very quiet, she almost never speaks, at most she just glances at him with resentful eyes, even if he speaks out loudly Oh, she just couldn't help it before retorting a few words, but then became quiet again, without saying a word.This kind of quietness suits his appetite. For some reason, seeing this woman is getting more and more pleasing to the eye, he just stayed in Lu's mansion day after day, living outside this room, guarding this woman, I was afraid that she would commit suicide if she couldn't think about it for a while.

Zhao Yan glanced at him, this person said something strange again, what does 10 minutes mean?Do you mean a stick of incense?Or a cup of tea?She resisted ignoring him, but couldn't help but sighed in her heart.

He really lost to him. If he doesn’t take medicine, he has a way to feed himself and wants to commit suicide. As long as he doesn’t die completely, he still has a way to save her. is it the end?However, with this strange person as company during this time, the emotional pain in her heart has gradually eased. This does not mean that she has forgotten Ye Yu, but that this person has done strange things and said too many strange words. Listening, I found it fresh and interesting, and I forgot to think about my thoughts.

"Uncle He! Uncle He, are you there? I came to play with you!" A childish voice sounded outside the house, followed by the sound of running.

He Lin's determined face suddenly changed, and he panicked instantly, like a mouse that saw a cat, scurrying around the room, trying to find a place to hide.

The savior is here!Zhao Yan let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "I won't take medicine today!"

He Lin slowed down in finding a place to hide when he heard this, hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "Deal!"

With a triumphant smile on Zhao Yan's face, he raised his finger and pointed under the bed.

He Lin is a person who is not afraid of getting dirty, he quickly got in, and immediately held his breath, not daring to pant loudly.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open violently, and a little girl about four years old, dressed in a light orange skirt and wearing a bun, poked her head in, with a pleasant smile on her face, and a slight pout. The mouth is so cute that one can't help but want to kiss her.

This child is the gentle eldest daughter, Lu Meng, who looks so good at such a young age, she must be an all-powerful beauty when she grows up, Zhao Yan also loves her a lot, even if she is in a bad mood, she can't help but look at her Smile back.

"Aunt Zhao, have you seen Uncle He?" Lu Meng glanced at the hourglass on the table, walked in after talking, and said with a smile: "There are fireworks outside, and Cai Yun is crying and refusing Get on the bridal sedan chair and say that she will serve my mother for the rest of her life. I know she is lying, but it is very lively, so I will ask Uncle He to watch the fun together."

"He..." The yard is far away from the gate of the mansion. Wenrou specially let her rest here, so no matter how much commotion was going on outside, Zhao Yan didn't hear any movement. Hearing what Lu Meng said now, her mouth immediately She started to suffer, but her heart strangely felt no pain. Maybe, she was already numb from the pain?

"Is he here?"

As Lu Meng spoke, she rummaged in the room, and He Lin under the bed was so anxious that she secretly complained.He didn't know why, but he was afraid of this little girl. Regardless of her young age, she was full of strange spirits. She combined her father's dark belly and mother's kindness into one. On the surface, she seemed harmless, but if Those who have been punished by her will definitely turn pale when they mention her name.

He Lin was quite unlucky. When he first moved into Lu's residence, he didn't know that this little girl could kill people. Seeing that she was cute and cute, he, who had always disliked children, even thought of teaching her some medical skills. It began to take turns.For the first half month, Lu Meng followed suit obediently, and was especially interested in the boring matter of dispensing medicine. He learned it quickly and well, and even made He Lin want to take her as his apprentice.

The good times didn't last long, and when the little girl felt that she had learned enough, her devilish nature was revealed.She can make up all kinds of medicines with weird functions, and put them quietly in He Lin's teacup or rice bowl, or even in the bed, which made him complain endlessly.This is still a trivial matter, the most important thing is that this little girl has excellent eyesight, and no precious medicinal materials can escape her eyes. He Lin's relatively rich medicinal foundation was ruined by her for half a month. It was almost ruined, so when I heard that she was looking for me, I was in a hurry to hide.

Auntie, you are talking!When He Lin caught sight of Lu Meng looking for him from under the bed, he casually tiptoed to pick up a few porcelain bottles from the medicine shelf and secretly put them in his arms. His heart ached so much that he was about to pick him up. This meant that his inventory had decreased again. Many, and in the next few days, someone in the Lu Mansion will be in bad luck again.

"He...he's not here...just now he said he was in a hurry, he squatted... squatted in the toilet..." Zhao Yan lost his composure in front of a child, and it took all his strength to hold back this lie.It's not that these words made it hard for her to say it. After being together with He Lin for a long time, she has long been indifferent to such things. She just has Ye Yu in her heart and is in a trance.

Well done!Well edited!Under the bed, He Lin almost wanted to applaud her!After going to the latrine, this little girl will never find her to smell the stench!

Unexpectedly, Lu Meng was not disappointed at all, she just said "Oh", and glanced under the bed with a pair of smart eyes, looked at He Lin's exposed half of her clothes and said nothing, finally sat down by the bed with a smile, as if He poked Zhao Yan's forehead with his hands, and said with a smile, "Aunt Zhao, what kind of disease are you suffering from? It's been a month, and you still haven't recovered?"

"My illness... I, I'm fine..." Zhao Yanqiang smiled happily.

Lu Meng shook her head: "Although you don't have a fever, you seem to be seriously ill. Look, you can't even talk about it. It must be Uncle He's poor medical skills that have caused you to be bedridden after so long."

"Yes... yes..." Zhao Yan didn't hear what she was saying at all, just wanted her to go away quickly and let himself be quiet, so he responded casually.

He Lin's lungs were about to explode when he heard the two of them answering each other. He hated people saying that his medical skills were not good enough!But this little girl likes to expose people's scars!Lu Ce must have told her!definitely is!Both father and daughter are not good things!

What a pain!
He is a medical student. He was originally full of talent and self-confidence, but when he just graduated, he performed a simple minor operation and put the patient to death. With all kinds of medical books on his back, he has learned everything by heart, but he no longer dares to see a doctor for others.Until, until that time when he was walking on the street in a trance and was hit by a car, his whole world suddenly changed completely...

He is different from Wen Rou, he traveled with his body, and for some reason, he was hit by a car and bumped into this other world, so he has no friends, no relatives, no home in this world, only Living on the streets, he makes a living by selling herbs collected from the wild.Also because he didn't have enough money to buy clothes, he was always wearing modern clothes that seemed weird to others. Many children would surround him and call him crazy, and he started to dislike children.

In that year, he was extremely poor, but he was lucky enough to meet Lu Ce on the streets of Dazhao.

Lu Ce never asked him about his background, just glanced at him a few times, smiled as if he had insight into the past, bought him a small house, provided him with various herbal medicine utensils, and did whatever he liked Just do whatever, and sometimes even bring a few patients to show him, gradually healed his lack of self-confidence, and became a genius doctor of his generation, or he got used to his cynical attitude. The fault has created a generation of strange doctors.

He originally thought that Lu Ce had some intentions, but after several years of acquaintance, he never made any demands on him, until he met Wen Rou, who surprised He Lin, who, like He Lin, came from another A world girl.

It can be seen that Lu Ce is deeply in love, so he asked him to help. This is not taking advantage of, but just helping each other among friends.From then on, He Lin trusted Lu Ce wholeheartedly. On a drunken night, he told his whole story, but——

He regrets it now!Who knew that Lu Ce would tell this kind of thing as a bedtime story to put children to sleep!No wonder he taught his daughter to be a human spirit, a little monster, and a demon!Hmph, he will suffer in the future!

He Lin was furious under the bed, but he didn't know that he was wrong about Lu Ce. Lu Ce never said a word about him, but Lu Meng was too smart. After spending a month with him, he already figured it out His scruples, speaking out at this moment, is purely to anger him.

However, He Lin's patience is also very strong, he didn't come out in a daze, Lu Meng rolled his eyes, and suddenly said to Zhao Yan: "Aunt Zhao, do you like Brother Ye Yu?"

This title is messed up!Obviously, they are all of the same generation, but in Lu Meng's mouth, she insisted on distinguishing three different levels of titles: Uncle, Aunt, and Brother. She called people how she wanted, and saw He Lin's face. Older people call him Uncle, and when they see Aunt Zhao is about the same age as their mother, they call him Auntie. As for Ye Yu, he may subconsciously know his feelings for his mother, so he insists on calling him brother, so that people feel that if he is no longer Unrequited love for her mother is a bit of a suspicion of incest.

"Ah——" This question surprised Zhao Yan, looking at the smiling little girl in front of her, she was speechless for a while.

"Brother Ye Yu is a nice guy, but now that he's begging for a wife, don't think about him anymore, it's not worth it." Lu Meng began to evade and induce.

The more Zhao Yan heard it, the more surprised she became. She didn't know where she learned this adult accent, and she still spoke it in a similar manner.She suspected that Lu Meng was sent by Gentle to enlighten her, so she couldn't help but want to embarrass her, and then said: "Why isn't it worth it..."

"Hey, do you still need to ask?" Lu Meng glanced at her, and said with a smile: "You think about him, but he doesn't think about you. Isn't it worth it?"

"Children's words, what do you know..." Although what he said was not unreasonable, Zhao Yan still showed a wry smile.

Lu Meng doesn't like others to say that she is young. When she heard this, she frowned, and said depressedly: "Who is young! It's just that you don't like what I say! Hmph, if I were to marry someone in the future, I would Marry someone who only thinks about me and misses me! Just like my father loves my mother! If that person still thinks about others, no matter how much I like him, I won’t marry him!”

These words, uttered from the child's mouth, had a childish tone, but they were even more astonishing.At this moment, Zhao Yan looked at her in shock, and even forgot to think about Ye Yu. He didn't understand why this young child could have such a decisive decision on feelings?In comparison, is she not even as good as a child?

He Lin liked the rebellious remarks the most, and almost cheered, but when Lu Meng changed the subject, he almost sweated again.

She said: "Actually, I don't think you and brother Ye Yu are worthy at all! He doesn't like to talk, and you don't like to talk too much. The two of them are sitting there opposite each other, a pair of boring gourds. Isn't it going to suffocate people? Now he married a talkative Caiyun, in order to be fair, you'd better marry someone who loves to talk. Who should you marry?"

Zhao Yan smiled wryly again, but was blocked by her speechless.

Lu Meng supported her chin with her tender hand, blinked her eyes, and suddenly smiled and said: "That's right! It would be best to marry Uncle He, isn't he not married either? You two just make a perfect match." right!"

"he?"

"she?"

The two people at the bottom of the bed jumped up at the same time, their voices full of surprise and horror.

"No! He's so weird and doesn't even take a bath! He's so dirty!"

"I won't do it! She lies on the bed and stares at my back all day long, making me feel chills all over my body!"

"What? I didn't stare at you! I simply regarded you as air, okay?" Zhao Yan couldn't hold back, and was so angry that he immediately turned to attack He Lin.

"Where am I weird? There is no more normal person than me in this world!"

……

The two of them didn't agree with each other, so they quarreled. They didn't wake up until Lu Meng laughed "chi chi" beside them.Zhao Yan lowered her head and blushed, while He Lin yelled: "Oops", jumped up and wanted to run outside the house.

"Look, I just said you are a couple!" Lu Meng continued to fan the flames, fearing that the world would not be chaotic: "They all lied to me together! Shame, shame! Uncle He, didn't you squat in the toilet? Auntie's bed went down, tsk tsk..."

He Lin was about to step out of the door. Hearing Lu Meng's words, he immediately turned around and ran back, covering her mouth, for fear that she would say anything more embarrassing. He has a thick skin and was teased It doesn't matter, but if this word gets out, will Zhao Yan survive?
But when he covered Lu Meng's mouth, He Lin was suddenly surprised, hey, why did he help this half-dead woman who was looking for life and death just because of some emotional setbacks?He hates such a woman who doesn't love herself the most!However, it seems that she doesn't hate her too much, she is still relatively quiet, lying behind him every day, watching him doing experiments and listening to himself talking, which makes him feel very at ease...

No, no, this must be an illusion!He was just afraid that she would seek death, and that this month's hard work would be in vain.Well, it must be so!That's right!He just wanted to leave Lu's mansion earlier, and stay away from the ghost spirit who was blinking at him in front of him...

When Zhao Yan heard Lu Meng's words, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to drill. When she saw He Lin came back and covered her mouth, she felt a little grateful in her heart, but then she saw his eyes flickering around her, and she became annoyed again. stand up.This person always has such an unscrupulous appearance, and he does not avoid suspicion of men and women at all. Thinking about it now, Lu Meng's words are not unreasonable. Although He Lin has always been very disciplined and calm, the two of them In the eyes of outsiders, she has been "intimately" together for a month, if she doesn't want to live, that's all. If she wants to live, can she marry anyone else besides him?

But if he didn't want to live, he wouldn't let himself die... Oh, how did things become such a mess?I can't figure it out!Zhao Yan was suddenly confused, and found that he didn't seem too disgusted with the proposal of marrying He Lin.He always said that three wives and four concubines are not good, women can do whatever they want like men, he said that Mingjie is a shit, it is a trick that men do not have self-confidence to restrain women, he said...

Over the past month, all the words He Lin said jumped into her mind at once, in a mess, and every sentence shocked her so much, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt a little bit of agreement.If you marry him, life will probably be very easy, right?Even if two people are in the same room, they can do their own things without disturbing each other. At least he won't take concubines, won't beat and scold him, and won't mind her secretly living alone...

no no no!Zhao Yan, what are you thinking?You swore in your heart that Ye Yu would not marry you!Hallucinations, must be hallucinations!Only ghosts think this man is worth marrying!

The two were at a loss, but Lu Ce and Ruan walked in from the door together.

Lu Ce glanced at the strange situation in the house, and knew that something must have happened, but he didn't ask, but just smiled lightly and said to Lu Meng: "So you are here, so your mother and I are easy to find!"

"Father!" Lu Meng took advantage of He Lin's stupefied, and struggled out of his grasp, threw herself into Lu Ce's arms, and yelled, "Uncle He is going to kill someone!"

She looked at her softly and funny: "You act like a baby when you see your father, what are you talking about?"

"Mother! I'm not talking nonsense. Uncle He is afraid that I'll have something about him and Aunt Zhao... um..." Lu Meng was halfway through speaking, but He Lin covered his mouth again, but his actions were faster than his thoughts. When I arrived, I realized that doing this seemed a bit like a place where there is no silver 300 taels, so I immediately let go of my hand embarrassingly, and laughed at myself: "I'm playing with her, don't you mind..."

He said this so much that even he himself felt a little false, so he smiled more humbly. Before he knew it, his eyes met Zhao Yan's. The two looked at each other deeply, and then looked away. .After getting along with each other for so long, it was the first time for both of them to feel awkward. Only Lu Meng covered her mouth and smiled like a little fox, while Wen Wen and Lu Ce looked at her with eyes full of doting and affection. have no choice.
