Chapter 174 Shangguanyu
"No." The old man sat up suddenly, "There are clearly seven pages, but where is the other page?"
The hangers-on also started to get nervous, "Boss, has anyone else been here before?"
The two of them hurried to find out where the piece of paper had gone.
On a March afternoon, Su Yanli and his wife took Su Xiaomei to sleep, and after washing up, they sat in the corridor to enjoy their leisure time. Su Ruojin sat next to the bamboo stroller and played with the little sister.
The little guy was lying in the stroller, grinning, and one of them said, "Ayi, grow up quickly, sister will take you out to fly a kite..."
"Ah...ah..." the little guy seemed to say, okay, okay!
"How come our Ah Yi is so pretty and cute..."
“Ah…ah…”
…
The two sisters were talking and babbling, and they both seemed to understand each other. Su Yanli was smiling, and the bamboo recliner was rocking, and the book in his hand was tapping his legs to the rhythm.
Su Sanlang and Su Xiaosi squatted under a tree in the yard and played with insects. The two brothers sometimes caught the insects and sometimes let them go to see how they would escape. The quiet yard was full of life.
His wife sat beside him, sewing clothes for the children, with her head lowered. A breeze blew past, ruffling a strand of black hair on her temples, making her look chaste, quiet and graceful.
Su Yanli intuitively felt that the years were peaceful and quiet. Just as he was about to close his eyes and enjoy the gentle afternoon breeze, the noisy noise from the front shop spread to the backyard.
Zhao Lan, who was standing in the corridor and envious of the teacher, withdrew his gaze, and Shuangrui immediately turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
The Su family members were also attracted by the noise and stood up one after another.
Su Yanli put down the book and walked towards the courtyard gate. From the voice, it seemed that it was his father's steward who had been here before.
Sure enough, the next moment, the steward of the Su family rushed into the courtyard, stumbling and shouting, "Young Master...Young Master...save the master...save the master..."
Su Yanli stopped and frowned: "What's going on?"
Steward Su cried, "The master heard that Second Young Master came to see Shangguan again, so he asked me to drive him over to see Young Young Master. When they met, they quarreled again. The master was so angry that he couldn't breathe. Madam asked me to find a doctor quickly. The doctor gave him acupuncture and he woke up, but he couldn't move half of his body. The doctor said that we should find a skilled doctor to force out the phlegm, otherwise... I'm afraid he will lie in bed for the rest of his life."
This is a symptom of a stroke. Su Yanli asked, "Where is my father?"
"In a small village at the foot of the mountain."
Su Ruojin asked his father, "Where are you going to find a doctor?"
Zhao Lan continued, "There is a doctor at the Wenshan Street Clinic who specializes in treating strokes."
Su Yanli bowed and said, "Please help me, young prince."
Shuangrui received a signal from his master and hurried to make arrangements.
After inviting the doctor, Su Yanli went to the village with the steward of the Su family.
Su Ruojin also wants to go.
After the young lady left, Zhao Lan followed her.
As a result, the carriage was large, and Su Yanli's family took the carriage to Shangguan Yu's residence. Unexpectedly, when they got off the carriage, they saw a luxurious carriage parked in front of the simple farmhouse. The maid guarding the door saw the young prince and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "This servant greets the young master."
Zhao Lan walked straight into the courtyard, and Su Yanli and his family followed him in.
The courtyard gate was only a few steps away from the main hall. Zhao Lan saw his aunt sitting in the upper seat and Shangguan Yu standing in front of her with a pale face, as if he was about to die. He didn't want to go in.
Seeing that he didn't move, Su Ruojin glanced at him.
He took a deep breath and stepped into the simple main hall.
"aunt……"
Seeing her nephew, Yuehua felt a little embarrassed. Such a place was not the right place for a princess like her, but she just couldn't control her heart and awkwardly asked her nephew to sit down.
After the nobleman finished his greetings, the doctor did not see the patient and could not help but bow and ask, "Excuse me, where is the patient?"
Princess Yuehua said coldly, "No need."
The doctor looked at Su Yanli.
Su Yanli looked at the students.
"Aunt brought the imperial physician?"
Yuehua nodded.
Su Ruojin was secretly amazed. Her step-grandfather was really lucky. With the imperial physician here, the danger would probably be resolved soon!
Su Yanli quickly brought his family to pay their respects to the princess to thank her for saving him.
"It's just a small favor."
Yuehua was not in the mood to socialize with everyone.
Su Yanli asked his wife and children to step aside, and he went into the inner room to see what was happening with his father.
For a moment, everyone seemed to be waiting for the diagnosis of the imperial physician in the inner chamber, and there was complete silence.
Su Ruojin's gaze shifted to her uncle's beloved, and saw a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He looked as if he had a serious illness. He was pale and weak, and was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the princess and others, he would have collapsed.
She couldn't bear to look any further, and turned her eyes to the home furnishings, which were simple, clean, and full of life. It could be seen that this was an artistic youth who loved life, but it was a pity...
Su Silang suddenly whispered, "Mom, I need to pee."
Cheng Yingzhen quickly apologized to the princess and took Xiao Silang out.
Su Ruojin asked with a smile, "Master Shangguan, can you tell me where the toilet is?"
Shangguan Yu seemed to hear the sound of nature and quickly perked up, "I'll lead the way for the young master." He took the opportunity to leave the princess's sight.
Zhao Lan glanced at Madam Su Er, and it was clear that he was creating an opportunity for someone else.
Being noticed by Zhao Lan, Su Ruojin smiled at him embarrassedly.
Zhao Lan was no longer angry.
After leaving the main hall and turning to the side of the courtyard, Shangguan Yu pointed to the toilet and Cheng Yingzhen took her son to urinate.
Su Ruojin did not follow him. She whispered, "Master Shangguan, please sit down and rest first."
Shangguan bowed and said, "Thank you, young lady." In the eyes of the world, no one could understand them. He felt the young lady's kindness. There was a stone bench and table in the yard, so he sat down.
Su Ruojin looked towards the courtyard. There were some vegetables planted on the left side of the aisle when entering the door. It was March now and the seedlings had just emerged, so it was hard to tell what they were. Flowers and plants were planted on the right side. Those against the fence were roses and other plants. They had lush branches and leaves, and there were faint buds. They would surely look very beautiful when they bloomed. The row in the middle was forsythia, which was in full bloom, a golden color, and very beautiful.
She sincerely exclaimed: "It's really beautiful."
Shangguan Yu, who had recovered from his breath, smiled when his labor was praised. "If you like, you can cut some and put them in a plum vase at home."
Su Ruojin shook her head, "It looks better here." She turned around and changed the subject, "Where is Mr. Shangguan from?"
"Flowers are everywhere in Jinguan City."
“So you’re from Chengdu.”
Shangguan Yu looked over and said, "Hmm?"
Oh my god, I forgot that the ancient Jinguan City was not called Chengdu, but Shu County. Because Shu brocade was famous, Jinguan was set up to protect the production of Shu brocade. Later generations often used Jincheng and Jinguan City as nicknames for Chengdu.
Su Ruojin laughed and said, "Then how did you get to Pingjiang Prefecture from such a far place?" She also met her uncle.
When talking about this, Shangguan Yu sighed three times, "It's fate."
It turned out that the Shangguan Yu family was a famous Shu brocade merchant in Shu County, Shu, and the richest person in the area. However, a tall tree attracts the wind. No matter how rich a merchant is, if he meets the wrong person, bankruptcy will happen in the blink of an eye.
Because the Shangguan family did not deliver the gifts properly, they were gossiped about and overnight all their wealth was lost, their family was broken up. He fled all the way down the river, landed at the end of the Yangtze River, and ended up in the wealthy Pingjiang Prefecture. He made a living by painting and calligraphy. By chance, he met Su Yanzu, who also loved painting and calligraphy, and they developed from close friends to lovers.
