It had stopped snowing on the first day of the new year, but the snow was really heavy and heavy. Now the snow on the ground was buried deep in my ankles, making a creaking sound when I stepped on it.
After being separated for half a year, the thin young men seemed to have grown a lot, from the eldest brother's shoulders to the eldest brother's ears.
Upon closer inspection, Chang Yan is even more powerful than Wen Zhiyun of the same age.
If Jiang Sheng hadn't forced them to arrange them in the order they were picked up, it would be hard to tell who was the elder brother and who was the younger brother.
But this does not hinder their deep feelings, nor does it prevent Wen Zhiyun from having a blank look on his face since he saw his fifth brother, and even now he has said nothing.
Even though Chang Yan came over to please him and called "Fourth Brother" again and again, he lowered his head and remained dazed.
"What's wrong with Xiao Si? He's wandering around the world." Xu Mo was a little worried.
Jiang Sheng was watching the fun with his arms folded, "Why is your soul wandering outside the world? Fourth brother is looking for Qiao."
My aunt sneaked away on her wedding night, met her eldest brother and her sister, and secretly helped the third brother. Even the second brother borrowed lychees to communicate with Chang Yan through letters.
Only Wen Zhiyun has neither met nor had any contact with his brother.
The friend who accompanied me every day, the closest peer, suddenly disappeared and had no contact with me anymore.
It would be fine if it were someone with a big heart, but Wen Zhiyun had a delicate mind and secretly wiped away so many tears at night.
The only person he had any connection with his younger brother was Dr. Wu. For this reason, he worked hard to study medicine and practiced acupuncture. He got up before dawn and slept late at night.
He put all his energy into medical skills and didn't even know what to do except study medicine.
He is a useless person, not as upright and upright as his eldest brother, not as good at calculating as his second brother, not as powerful as his third brother, and not as supportive as his sister from the Jiang family.
He has nothing and is a burden to his younger brother.
So it's normal to be ignored.
Wen Zhiyun stood in a daze, his hands and feet were cold and without warmth. He raised his head, but his pupils were unfocused, as if they were penetrating nothingness.
"Fourth brother!" Chang Yan sighed and held his brother's hand like he did when he was a child. "I didn't abandon you. I just did something serious. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you."
Yeah?
The liar is obviously afraid of being dragged down by him.
"It's not that I'm afraid of you dragging me down." As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Chang Yan said to himself, "I'm waiting for you to become a master of medical skills and inherit the mantle of my grandfather. It would be a pity that such a strong medical family of the Yan family should be cut off in my hands. Brother is like a gift from God, and the Yan family’s medical skills will surely flourish in your hands.”
"What's more, the fourth brother is so powerful and always outperforms others. If I have a headache or fever in the future, I can't trust anyone else just to rely on you to cure my illness."
When it comes to teasing people, it has to be a long banquet.
The key to speaking one thing is that it doesn't make people feel offended.
Seeing Wen Zhiyun's pupils gradually focus, Jiang Sheng and Xu Mo laughed beside them.
"Xiao Wu, you...you are lying again." The weak little doctor lowered his head, "I don't believe you, you are a big liar."
"Fourth brother, you have to believe me, I won't lie to you." Chang Yan patted his chest, "My brother has been in love with you for many years. Believe me, it's absolutely right."
"It's not impossible for me to believe you." Wen Zhiyun suddenly changed his tone, "I also want to help you and your elder brother conspire."
Long banquet, "..."
Xu Mo, "..."
I was careless, who would have thought that Wen Xiaosi, who was always weak and had low self-esteem and would shed tears when nothing happened, would actually have such a scheming moment.
He understood the brothers' conspiracy and tried to get involved.
"But Fourth Brother..." Chang Yan explained with difficulty, "This matter is very dangerous. Although I downplay it, no one can predict the emperor's wrath. I don't want you to get involved..."
Wen Zhiyun lowered his head in silence, and small pits appeared inexplicably in the snow on the ground.
Big and small, they all gathered at the instep of his feet.
Chang Yan knew that the fourth brother was most afraid of being alone, of not being able to help his family, and of becoming useless.
He always wants to try his best to prove that he can do it, try his best to contribute to the family, and try his best to become a useful person.
Even if they get involved in the struggle for imperial power, even if they face the glare of swords.
It is obvious that he is so timid by nature, but he must be brave. It is obvious that he is so timid by nature, but he must be bold.
"Is it that important to be a useful person?" Chang Yan sighed.
Wen Zhiyun raised his head, with two traces of tears hanging on his fair cheeks. His deer-like eyes were endearing, but his eyes were so firm and persistent, "It's very important."
He learned to be brave and faced Prince Gong, Crown Prince and thousands of people.
He gradually became bolder and protected his elder brother in front of the blushing students.
He is always changing, always learning.
He is not a little white rabbit who needs others to take care of him, he is an older brother who can protect his younger brothers and sisters.
"Okay, then I'll let Dr. Wu arrange for your hospital to start with odd jobs." Chang Yan was finally defeated.
Thinking about it from another angle, if you can have your brother by your side, the life in the palace will not be so difficult.
"Then it's settled." Wen Zhiyun finally broke through tears and smiled, his crooked eyes filled with satisfaction.
He wants to be a useful person and he is going to help his brother.
Only Jiang Sheng put down her arms, and belatedly discovered that she was the one who was alone.
"Hey, that's not right, how could you leave me?" My sister rushed over with her teeth bared.
Three children of about the same age got into a group, laughing and playing.
Xu Mo stood steadily at the side, with a smile on his eyes and brows.
It's a pity that good times are short-lived.
The sky was getting dark, and Chang Yan was about to go back with his guards.
Wen Zhiyun began to burst into tears again. Thinking about how many days they would see each other again, she forced back her tears and only repeatedly warned, "You must be well. You must be well."
"Fifth brother, you just left on your own, why did you take the fourth brother with you?" Jiang Sheng was the saddest, "The eldest brother is an official, the second brother is busy with business, and the third brother is at the border, so I am the only one left in the family."
The Fengjing court is strange, and separation is always helpless.
Chang Yan rubbed his sister's head helplessly, glanced at his two brothers, and left over the wall with the help of the guards.
He couldn't even walk through the main entrance...
"I hope this kind of life will end soon." Jiang Sheng clasped his hands together, wishing he had not kowtowed twice more at Famen Temple.
"I went to read ancient books and remembered that acupuncture can change the pulse, so Xiaowu doesn't have to take risks and misdiagnose." Wen Zhiyun thought of something and stood up in a hurry.
Only Xu Mo was left in the huge courtyard.
He brushed off the remaining snow on his shoulders, looked at the gloomy weather, thought about the long banquet's instructions, and finally got up to prepare the gifts.
This New Year, not only do I have to meet Master Dou, I also have to meet Mrs. Dou.
Or, that Miss Dou.
