Chapter 54 The Young Man

The next day, Li Tian rushed to Fayun Temple at the beginning of the afternoon and first went to the temple to give her grandmother a column incense, and then went to the other courtyard.

Yu Yaofang took Li Tian in. Mrs. Xu put an extra pillow under her head and lay on her back on the kang under the south window. Li Tian saw the gift. In the first half of the steps, she carefully looked at Mrs. Xu's complexion. Mrs. Xu smiled weakly at Li Tian, raised her finger and nodded to the edge of the kang. Her voice was weak and there was no confidence: "Tian Tianlai "Let's sit down."

Li Tian sat sideways in front of the kang, looked at Mrs. Xu and smiled, "Madam looks much better than the day before yesterday." Yu Yaofang was stunned. Where did Tiantian see her mother the day before yesterday?

"Real?" As soon as Mrs. Xu heard this, her eyes brightened slightly, and her face showed a layer of joy. Yu Yaofang looked at the joy on A Niang's face and suddenly realized Li Tian's intention and hurriedly smiled, "I'm always watching A Niang. I can't see that A Niang is looking better at all. Is it really much better?"

"Hmm!" Li Tian nodded affirmatively and said, "It is said that the outside of Yun Temple is a quiet place for health preservation. It's true. I used to come to give incense to my grandmother. Every time I put good incense, I walk outside the temple. After a circle, I only feel refreshed. The blessed land of Buddhism is different."

"I slept heavily yesterday." Mrs. Xu's voice showed a trace of relaxation and joy. She hoped that her illness would get better soon. The thing she feared most was that she could leave when she was sick. What should she do with her Yaoyao?! Thinking of this, she was so scared that she couldn't even cry.

Li Tian and Yu Yaofang accompanied Mrs. Xu without saying a few words, and Mrs. Xu's face showed unconcealed fatigue. Li Tian stood up and laughed and said, "After talking for such a long time, it's time for you to take a break." Mrs. Xu lowered her eyes with a smile to respond. Yu Yaofang was busy waiting for the maid to lie down, pull up the quilt for her, put down the curtains, and gently went out to the outer porch with Li Tian.

"I also think my mother is better." Yu Yaofang whispered happily,

"Well, your mother's disease is born from the word 'qi'. As long as you don't have idleness, it will be fine quickly." Li Tian smiled and said, as they spoke, they turned to the corner of the east wing room near the hanging flower door and sat down. Yu Yaofang looked at Li Yue and said, "My second aunt arrived in the capital yesterday and said that she would come to visit A Niang tomorrow. Do you want to complain to her first?"

Li Tian leaned on the back of the chair casually, nodded her chin and shook her head thoughtfully and said, "Nothing is necessary. First, she just arrived in the capital, and she didn't know many things. She may not understand what she said. Second, she hasn't started anything now. It's useless to complain at this time. In case people think too much, it's not good. Say, look at your mother, you are so sick, what else do you have to complain about? People are almost gone."

"That's true." Yu Yaofang agreed, "That's right, I agreed with the abbot of Fayun Temple to let him read the Buddhist merit scriptures for A Niang for an hour. Are you going to listen to the scriptures with me or rest in the yard?"

"I'll listen to the scriptures with you." Li Tian smiled and said, "By the way, there is one more thing to tell you. Let's move your mother here to let her recover quietly. You have to take good care of the inside and outside here. If you can't speak, you can't say anything inside. You can't say anything to anger your mother. Don't be soft-hearted when you should be cruel."

"Well, Mama Yao also reminded me yesterday that I called the maid who came to wait for this last night. Who dares to disobey me? There is nothing to say, just a random stick!" Yu Yaofang gritted her teeth and said fiercely. Li Tian breathed a gentle sigh of relief and looked at Yu Yaofang and said with a smile, "You will also be fierce!"

"The rabbit is in a hurry and still bites people." Yu Yaofang kicked the railing heavily and said with hatred, "Bah! It really forced me to a dead end, but it's just a dead net!"

After lunch, Li Tian and Yu Yaofang went to Fayun Temple to listen to the scriptures. When they heard the sunset, they came out of the Yaowang Hall. While talking with the brilliant sunset on their back, Yue Niang slowly walked back to the other courtyard. Yue Niang followed them boredly and took her majestic steps seriously.

Not far from the gate of the separation courtyard, Yue Niang's steps suddenly paused, narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at the broken fan in mid-air from afar, standing in the threshold of the gate of the other courtyard. Yue Niang raised her eyebrows, looked at Li Tian, and looked at the teenager again. She raised her hand and reached out to Li Tian's shoulder but did not fall down. Go, forget it. What can I do if I tell her? Don't cover other people's eyes. Just look at it. Anyway, she is never afraid of others.

Two porters came out of the gate of the courtyard and bent down to raise the high threshold. Yu Yaofang and Li Tian stopped talking and looked at the gate of the courtyard together. Who is here? The two looked at each other in surprise and tacitly accelerated their pace to the gate.

In the gate, a 50-year-old woman in a light sandalwood dress came out with the hand of a tall teenager. She turned her head to look at Yu Yaofang and Li Tian and raised her hand and smiled, "Yaoyao is back. Come and let your aunt have a look."

Yu Yaofang gave a surprised 'ah', quickly picked up her skirt, ran to the woman in a few steps and bowed and said, "Second aunt, why did you come here today? I thought you would come tomorrow!"

"I just heard this morning that your mother is ill and said that she is seriously ill. I'm worried. Come and have a look quickly. I haven't seen you for a few years. Yaoyao has grown so much." Gao, Yu Yaofang's second aunt and the wife of Xu Xuhan, the secretary of the Ministry of Li, took Yu Yaofang's hand and looked up and down carefully and praised her, "The longer Yaoyao is, the better it looks. With such a good daughter, what else can't you think of? Even for you, she has to persuade herself to think about it. Which company doesn't have such a bad thing? Alas, your child is also... Good child, don't worry, I just advised your mother for most of the day. Looking at that, she also wanted to be more open. It is common for people to eat grains and get sick. Your mother is designated to get better.

As Mrs. Gao spoke, her eyes turned red again. She hurriedly turned her head and pressed the tears in the corners of her eyes with a veil. Yu Yaofang forced a smile and said, "I think so too. I'm sure my mother will be fine! As soon as she moved here yesterday, A Niang looked good. This morning, she also said that she slept very heavily last night, and today's mood is much better than a few days ago.

"That's good," Mrs. Gao pressed the tears from the corners of her eyes with a veil and quickly put down the veil and smiled, "It's better to move out to recuperate. As long as the person is good, it's not a big deal." Mrs. Gao spoke and turned her head to look at Li Tian standing next to her with a smile. She asked uncertainly, "Is this Sister Tian?"

"It's me, my wife has a good memory. She is still the same as before. She hasn't seen her old at all over the years." Li Tian bowed respectfully and saluted. Mrs. Gao stretched out her hand to pull Li Tian and pulled her over and stood side by side with Yu Yaofang. She leaned back slightly and carefully looked at the two and smiled, "When I was a child, a pair of sisters were even more beautiful flowers. No wonder Yaoyao's mother said that she had two daughters. Poor your grandmother... Well, I heard It's also a long life. I only pity you. Well, not to mention this, life, old age, illness and death. That's how people can't avoid it. You are an open-minded child, and think about it.

"Yes, Mrs. Xie taught me." Li Tian bowed her knees and thanked him respectfully. Mrs. Gao pulled her up and turned to look at the teenager and said, "You have bumped into each other, and you don't know each other. Those false gifts should be exquisite, but you can't be too rigid. This is your seventh cousin, the nicknamed brother Shui."

"seven cousins? That's the cousin who understands Yuan!" Yu Yaofang explained to Li Tian first, then turned her head and Mrs. Gao smiled and said, "I don't know how many times I've heard from my mother. When it comes to cousin Seven, my mother is very proud." Yu Yaofang smiled and said that she bent her knees and her cousin saw the salute. Li Tian also followed the salute and quietly looked at the teenager Xie Yuan in front of her. Her skin was light wheat, her eyes were very bright, her eyebrows were soaring, her nose was straight, her lips were moderately thick and angular, and she was wearing a light green brocade gown, facing the sunset, but it was like the morning sun. Vibrant and powerful, this is the young Xu Sihai of the Xu family.

Xu Sihai bowed back to Yu Yaofang in a panic, and did not dare to raise his head. He turned half of his body, only dared to look at the hem of Li Tian's skirt and shoes, and almost bowed to Li Tian to the end. Li Tian had to bend her knees and salute back. Mrs. Gao reached out and pulled Li Tian and Yu Yaofang, pointed to Xu Sihai and the two with a smile, "He came to the capital for the first time. Since he entered the city yesterday, he felt strange to see everything. Don't laugh at your seventh cousin."

"Mother!" Xu Sihai blushed and glanced at Li Tian very quickly. She stopped Mrs. Gao in a low voice. Mrs. Gao smiled and didn't say any more. Yu Yaofang looked at her cousin, turned her eyes slightly half a circle, and said with a smile, "Is this trip to Beijing preparing for next year's provincial examination?"

"It's not for this. I went to your uncle's house this morning to visit the teacher. If it weren't for this, his mother-in-law would not be willing to let him out. Well, it's not be early. You and Sister Tian are tired after listening to the long time. Go back and rest. Second aunt will come back to see you and your aunt in a few days. What's the matter? Or something less, just send someone to tell your second aunt, don't be polite, do you hear me?"

Yu Yaofang nodded repeatedly, helped Mrs. Gao, sent her into the car, stepped back a few steps, watched the car move slowly, and then went back to the courtyard with Li Tian.
