Qixuan Episode (Seventy-Seven)
The genius remembered the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Qixuan rested for a few days, and told Yunqing and Yuxi that he was going outside for a walk.
Yun Qing was a little reluctant, and muttered: "If you leave, no one will play chess with me." Both Yu Xi and Liu Er would play chess with him, but because neither of them allowed him to regret the game, Yun Qing would not play chess with him. Willing to go with them. Can't regret chess, it's boring to play!
Qixuan coaxed Yunqing like a child: "Father, I just wandered around and came back in over a month." He didn't go very far this time, he just wandered around Hebei.
"You said it. If you don't come back within two months, I will send someone to arrest you."
Qi Xuan said with a smile: "Father, I will definitely come back." His parents are getting older, and now he doesn't dare to leave for a year like before. At most, I will come back after spending a month or two outside, and spend more time with my parents when I have time.
Plans can't keep up with changes. When returning home, Qixuan saw Dai Yanxin's eyes were red.
Qixuan sat next to Dai Yanxin, and asked with concern: "Did something happen to the Dai family?" Everything is fine at home, and the only one who can make Dai Yanxin feel sad is the Dai family. Moreover, it was probably Dai Gangyi.
Dai Yanxin wiped away tears with a handkerchief embroidered with magnolia, and said with a sob: "Brother wrote to me and said that uncle fell ill again." Apart from his children, Dai Yanxin missed Dai Gangyi the most. But Dai Gangyi is getting older and his health is getting worse.
Qixuan was a little puzzled: "A few days ago, didn't you say that uncle was in good health?"
Dai Yanxin shook his head and said: "It is said that it was caused by the wind and cold." As we get older, even a small wind and cold can kill a person.
Qi Xuan thought for a while and said: "If you are worried, I will accompany you back to your hometown."
Dai Yanxin shook his head and said, "Brother is going to get married at the end of the year. There are so many things going on, how can we get away with it." The son's marriage is not careless.
Qixuan smiled and said: "It's only May now, three months is enough to go back and forth, and I will definitely come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. I will hand over the things I need to buy in advance, and we will take care of the rest when we come back." Brother Song's wedding, Set for mid-December.
Dai Yanxin hesitated.
Qi Xuan said: "Uncle is getting older and healthier. If you don't go back this time, you may not even see him for the last time."
In Dai Yanxin's heart, Dai Gangyi is equivalent to his father. Hearing this, Dai Yanxin didn't hesitate anymore: "Okay, then I'll have someone pack up my things now, and I'll leave in two days." If you decide to go back, then go back as soon as possible.
Concubine Dou knew that Qixuan was going to accompany Dai Yanxin back to his hometown, and felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick in her heart.
Qixuan's heart softened, and he said: "Next year, next year I will take Yikang to accompany you back to your hometown."
Concubine Dou was taken aback for a moment, and then asked happily: "Really? Your lord, are you really going to accompany me back?"
Seeing her like this, Qi Xuan said amusedly, "When did I ever lie to you?"
Lunch is served at Bichun Courtyard. Concubine Dou personally cooks and cooks some home-cooked dishes.
After the small kitchen was built, Concubine Dou didn't even ask for a cook. She cooks three meals a day by herself, and sometimes Qixuan and Yikang don't eat in Bichunyuan, so she just eats from the big kitchen because she is too lazy to move.
After eating, Qixuan took a rest and went out. He made an appointment with a friend two days ago to drink tea and appreciate paintings together.
Nowadays, those who come and go with Qixuan all have achievements in calligraphy or painting. Those friends who were friends in the past basically don't communicate with each other anymore.
Two days later, Dai Yanxin and Qi Xuan set off for Jiangxi. Brother Cheng was worried, so he asked Brother Xiao to go with him.
After walking by land for two days, a group of people boarded the boat. At first Qixuan was worried that Dai Yanxin would get seasick, but nothing happened. On the contrary, he couldn't vomit.
Lying on the bed, Qixuan said: "It seems that the **** has been locked up at home these past few years, and his health is much worse than before." Usually, only the first time to take a boat will get dizzy, and he doesn't know how many times he has sat in these years the boat. As a result, I am still seasick now.
Dai Yanxin said with a smile: "From now on, don't always shut yourself in the house." When painting, it was like being possessed by a demon, and she couldn't see anyone for ten and a half months. Although she was very pleased that Qixuan had improved, this appearance still made her very worried.
Qi Xuan said with a smile: "I will pay attention to it in the future." In fact, this kind of thing is beyond his control. But in the future, it is impossible for him to paint with such a high intensity. In the future, he will never write unless he encounters something that makes his heart move or he likes it very much. As for other people who come to ask for paintings, if they are not particularly close, he will not be able to paint.
This time it was smoother and the weather has been fine. It took only half a month for them to arrive in Changzhou.
Because it was a sudden decision to come back to visit Dai Gangyi, the Dai family only heard about it two days before they arrived. As soon as the yard was cleaned up, the two arrived.
The Dai family sent people to guard the gate of the city, so when Qixuan and Dai Yanxin entered the city, the elders of the Dai family knew about it.
Master Dai and his family were waiting for the two of them at the gate.
Seeing Qixuan and Dai Yanxin, the elder of the Dai family brought the whole family to kneel on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old..."
It was the first time for Qi Xuan to see such a situation: "Get up, everyone! One family, there is no need to talk about these empty etiquette."
Dai Yanxin asked eagerly: "Brother, how is uncle? Is your health okay?"
Mr. Dai did not reply to this question, but said softly: "Princess is exhausted, let's go into the house and have a drink of tea and rest, and we will talk about other things later." It's time. Now that Dai Yanxin has arrived, she can't hide this matter even if she wants to.
Dai Yanxin missed Dai Gangyi: "Take me to see my uncle!" She was relieved when she saw someone.
Entering the room, Qi Xuan frowned and asked, "Is there still incense in this room?" Not only the smell of medicine, but also the fragrance. These two smells are mixed together, which is very pungent.
Grandpa Dai nodded and said: "My father can't smell the smell of medicine, so he couldn't fall asleep when he smelled it, so he lit incense in the room."
Qi Xuan didn't speak.
Dai Yanxin couldn't stop crying when he saw Dai Gangyi with a disheveled face.
Crouching in front of the bed, Dai Yanxin held his hand and cried, "Uncle, Uncle, Yanxin has come to see you."
Dai Gangyi opened his eyes, looked at Dai Yanxin for a long time before saying, "It's Ningning who is here!"
Dai Yanxin's expression paused, Ningning was Dai Gangyi's eldest daughter, and she married the Xue family, a prominent family in Shandong. Because it was too far away, and there was still her mother-in-law, Xue Ning did not come back.
Looking up at Elder Dai, seeing him nodding, Dai Yanxin was in unbearable grief. In her memory, it was as if a huge mountain held up her bounds, but now she was so sick that she even admitted her mistake.
Holding Dai Gangyi's hand, Dai Yanxin endured his grief and smiled and said, "Uncle, I am Yanxin! Uncle, I am Yanxin."
Dai Gangyi thought for a long time before he came back to his senses: "Oh, it's Yanxin! Yanxin, why are you back? What will the children do when you come back?"
"Uncle, one day my brother and his wife will be here! Just let them handle the affairs of the house."
Dai Gangyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot that Brother Mo is already married. By the way, Yan Xin, is King Xuan still playing outside and not coming home?" Not only did his reaction slow down, but his memory also appeared. Confused.
Qi Xuan blushed a little.
Grandpa Dai hurriedly pointed to Qixuan who was standing next to Dai Yanxin and said, "Father, the prince is here."
Qixuan knelt down and said to Dai Gangyi, "Uncle, I'm Qixuan, Yanxin and I came to visit you."
Dai Gangyi took Qixuan's hand and said: "King Xuan, this child Yanxin has a hard life. She lost her father and mother at a young age and remarried. I just brought her into the mansion to serve, and I didn't dare to say anything." Let me say one more thing. King Xuan, you have to treat Yanxin well. Otherwise, she won't know where to complain about her troubles."
Qixuan nodded and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Yanxin well, and I won't let her suffer the slightest grievance in the future."
Dai Gangyi nodded and said, "Good, good, good."
After talking for a while, Dai Gangyi couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep again.
Dai Yanxin wiped away his tears, went out of the room and asked Mr. Dai, "Brother, what did the doctor say?" Just by looking at his condition, one could tell that something was wrong. It's just that there is still a glimmer of hope in Dai Yanxin's heart.
Mr. Dai didn't hide it from Dai Yanxin: "The doctor said, it will be these days. I have already written to the second brother and the others, asking them to come back as soon as possible." Mr. Dai's family is not a student, he has been studying for so many years The book is only a talent in the exam. Therefore, he stayed at home to take care of the common affairs and take care of the two old people. The second master of the Dai family passed the Jinshi examination, and with Dai Gangyi's protection, he is now only a fifth-rank magistrate. Going on like this, the fourth grade will reach the top.
Not only is there no one in Mr. Dai's generation who can read, but there is also no one in the next generation who is talented. According to this trend, Dai Gangyi's team is likely to decline. Because of this, they paid special attention to Dai Yanxin's family.
Dai Yanxin burst into tears again.
Qixuan patted Dai Yanxin on the back lightly, and then asked Elder Dai: "Brother, Yanxin and I haven't gone to see my aunt yet, take us to see my aunt!"
Mr. Dai hesitated and said: "My mother is still at the farm in the country, and hasn't come back."
Dai Yanxin really didn't know about this, and asked: "Uncle is sick like this, why is auntie staying in the village and not coming back?" The main reason is that the husband and wife had a good relationship before, so Mrs. Dai's move is somewhat puzzling .
As a child, it is not easy to blame the parents. Grandpa Dai said vaguely: "Father and mother had some conflicts a few days ago, and mother went to the village in a fit of anger and never came back."
Seeing Dai Yanxin's ugly face, Mrs. Dai hastily explained: "When my mother left, my father was fine." This means that Dai Gangyi's illness has nothing to do with Mrs. Dai.
Dai Yanxin looked better now.
The house has been tidied up, Qixuan frowned when he saw the small courtyard.
After Elder Dai left, Dai Yanxin said: "We didn't notify them in advance, and the house was tidied up in such a short period of time and it was arranged so well. It took a lot of effort."
For two days, if they really wanted to, they wouldn't live in such a small courtyard.
Dai Yanxin sighed and said, "Don't blame the eldest brother, he also has his difficulties." The more juniors, the more thoughts. And the second room is obviously stronger than the first room, so Mr. Dai is sometimes difficult to do.
Qixuan said: "It's good that you don't mind." He didn't care, but felt that the Dai family had neglected Yanxin.
