It was difficult for Mrs. Xu to conceive. Thirteen years ago, she got the cute and smart baby girl. She treated her as her own and named her Li Yuhuai, but those close to her called her Liniang.
When she was young, she was sent to a book school to learn how to read and write. When she was young, she also taught some music, calligraphy and painting by herself. Liniang liked some calligraphy books very much. Li Lixu did not respond to Liniang's request.
But Liniang has never been arrogant. She has a cute and innocent temperament, and is naturally smart. She grew up in Yingnan County since she was a child. She is not from an official family, so she does not have to follow strict rules.
She knew that she was not her biological father and mother, and her father and mother treated her so well, so why did it matter whether she was her biological child or not.
She had too few memories before the age of three. She only had vague impressions, and occasionally had dreams. Someone called her Jinjin, and the hand holding her was warm and soft. In the huge yard, there were male and female voices laughing, and the atmosphere was so warm.
My father-in-law and mother-in-law said that her biological parents were also from Yingnan. During the late Xuande years, the country was in turmoil. My father-in-law picked up Xiao Liniang in Yingnan. No one came to pick her up, so she adopted her.
Over the years, my father and mother rarely talked about this matter. Only when she asked when I was young did they answer the origin.
Liniang didn't bother to question her too much. She just wanted to stay with her father and mother for a few more years.
Liniang held American ginseng in her hand, thinking wildly as she walked. She walked out of Jiuyun Lane and walked towards Gongdao.
When they were about to cross the Wangyue Bridge, several young men of similar age passed by him. The first one asked suspiciously, "Liniang?"
Liniang thought to herself: Even wearing a power fence made him recognize him, so she stopped and turned around, "Brother Yuanqing."
Liu Yuanqing knew that he had not admitted his mistake, so how could he not recognize it? The young man Lang was in love with her for the first time and had already promised her. At this time, he asked his friends who were traveling with him to leave first.
When the other young men said goodbye and left, they cheered, "Oh~ Brother Yunqing is so lucky! Hahaha." "With this look, the young lady will drive us away when she sees her." The voices gradually faded away.
The words of several people fell into their ears. Liu Yuanqing blushed disgracefully, and Liniang looked at him like that, giggling in her heart but not showing it on her face.
Liu Yuanqing looked at the medicine bag in her hand and said, "Liniang, where are you going? Why don't you ask someone to accompany you? I'll help you carry it." He took the medicine bag from Liniang's hand, and Liniang followed him. .
Liu Yuanqing's father, County Magistrate Liu, opened a book school. They studied together at the Liu Family Book School since childhood and had a good relationship. However, they seldom interacted with each other after they got hairpins, and they were afraid of gossip.
The women and their hairpin queens all studied embroidery, poetry and painting at home, waiting to get engaged and get married, while the men went to the Imperial Academy in Kyoto to take academic examinations.
Little contact means little contact, but Liniang can always run into him. Whenever the Imperial College is on holiday, he often comes to the hospital to get supplements for his mother, and often asks Liniang some pharmacological questions. Everyone says that he is a filial son who is also very knowledgeable. He was the only one who knew all his charming thoughts, and just looking at her was satisfying.
She often joked with her mother, looking very cute and playful. She would occasionally joke with him, making him blush and heartbeat, and he would think about it for a long time when he returned home.
His mother knew what he was thinking, and wanted him to go to the Li Family Medical Center to propose marriage after the test in the autumn, so as not to delay his future.
At this time, the two of them were crossing the bridge side by side, and the early morning sun was shining on their shoulders. The young man and the woman he admired, the bridge was bustling with people in the early morning, and there was noisy shouting, but Liu Yuanqing felt that it was really a beautiful scene.
Liniang replied to his question at this time, "I will go to Chen Yuan's house to deliver ginseng." Liu Yuanqing said hello, and the two of them walked towards Chen's house.
Liu Yuanqing rambled on and on, Liniang wanted to laugh looking at his clumsy appearance, he was a young man, Liniang no longer knew his intentions, not to mention that Mrs. Xu always used him to tease Liniang.
Liu Yunqing said that he would take the exam this fall and was discussing the test questions with his classmates recently. Liniang added, "Brother Yunqing, if you work so hard and are so smart, you will surely win the first prize in one fell swoop."
Liu Yunqing said, "Liniang, because of your words, I will definitely work harder." "Well...Liniang, tomorrow's lantern festival will be held at Tonglin Temple. How about you and I traveling together? I will ask my attendant to go to the temple tomorrow." Yunxiang will pick you up."
Liniang wanted to go, she loved the excitement, and she went to the Chao Lantern Festival every year. There were many vendors buying some story books, and her parents would definitely agree, so she naturally agreed.
Liu Yuanqing was very happy to get the promise. After delivering the ginseng to Chen Yuan's house, he sent her back to Jiuyun Lane to the entrance of the lane.
Although she was far away, Mrs. Xu saw it. She knew that the only son of Magistrate Liu was interested in Liniang and often used various excuses to come to the hospital to see her.
A few years after Liniang and Ji, some brothers often asked their mother to come to Mrs. Xu to propose marriage. Mrs. Xu often refused because she was reluctant to part with her daughter and wanted to keep her for a few more years.
She knew that Magistrate Liu's only son was of good character, decent appearance, and very progressive in learning and learning. She looked at Liniang longingly every time, and she seemed to like him very much, but she didn't know what Liniang thought.
After Liniang came back, she went into the house to eat and read a storybook. The most popular one among the people today came from Kyoto, and the writing was very good.
Liniang was fascinated by what she saw, and suddenly she had an idea and started writing.
After writing for a long time, her mother asked her to have lunch. Mrs. Xu looked at Liniang with a smile and said, "Liniang, don't think that grandma didn't see it. When you came back, I saw that brother from Magistrate Liu's family behind you." Woolen cloth."
Liniang's face was also a little hot, "I just happened to meet you on the road. Please don't tease me anymore."
How could Mrs. Xu not see the affection between these two children? "Seriously, is it a coincidence that he always comes to our medical clinic every now and then? You don't have to hide it from grandma. If you have feelings for him, grandma and dad will also be there soon." Prepared for you.”
Liniang approached Mrs. Xu and hugged her, "Aniang, I don't want to get married so soon. I want to stay with you."
Mrs. Xu patted her hand and said, "How can a daughter's family not marry? Don't become an old girl. Don't worry about me and your father. We only hope that you will be safe and happy so that you can feel at ease."
Liniang was moved and a little sad after hearing this. Looking at her white hair, she lowered her head and her eyes were a little wet.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly said, "Don't be sad. The brother of the Liu family must have invited you to the lantern festival tomorrow. My mother will prepare a lantern for you tomorrow." Liniang bowed her head and hummed.
In the evening, when Li Li had not come back, Liniang and Mrs. Xu were a little worried and looked outside the door.
After an hour, Li Li finally came back, saying that the carriage was broken down on the road and he was delayed.
Ms. Xu noticed that her husband looked strange when he first came back. When the two went to bed, Ms. Xu asked about it. When Li Lida came home after discussing business, he felt someone was following him. So he forked the road and asked the two carriages to take a detour home. "But don't worry, maybe you are here to see a doctor. We should be more cautious in the future." Li Li comforted.
Although Xu was surprised, she didn't think much about it. She blew out the candle and fell asleep.
Li Li didn't sleep. He always felt that the person following him today didn't look like a southerner. It seemed like he was coming with bad intentions. It was just that he was usually a kind person, never crossed paths with others, and had never offended anyone.
Could it be... Kyoto? After thinking about it, I realized that it shouldn't be the case. More than ten years have passed since then and no one knows about it. How could I find him today? Li Li secretly thought that he thought too much, and his eyelids gradually fell into sleep.
