Chapter 38 thirty eight

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Juexin came home from the shopping mall. As soon as he passed under Juemin's window, he saw Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chen coming out of the main room talking and laughing.He frowned slightly, intending to turn around and walk into Juemin's room.But Mrs. Wang has already started calling her "Mingxuan".He had no choice but to agree and walked towards them. Waiting for him to come to them, Mrs. Wang looked him over with a half-smile, and said, "Mingxuan, you are very free. You have time to mind your own business." Juexin didn't understand what she meant.It was inconvenient for him to say anything, but he only vaguely agreed, and his attitude was quite submissive.He is practicing his "bowing doctrine".He thought they would let him go away quietly.

But Mrs. Wang suddenly snorted, raised her eyebrows and continued, "I can take care of the affairs of my house, so you don't need to worry about it. You should take care of your own affairs if you have time. You are afraid that I won't be able to get out." Do you have money to buy a coffin for Qian'er?" "I didn't mean that. I knew that my aunt was sleeping, and I was afraid they would wake her up, so I did it for my aunt," Juexin explained gently, his face suddenly turned red, and then turned red again. Pale. "I'm sleeping? Didn't I clearly order to wrap up the bed and carry it out?" Wang said sharply on purpose.She flattened her mouth and made a contemptuous look: "Hmph, I know you have a lot of money, and you don't need to 'show off' in front of me!..."

"Fourth wife, you don't know that the young master earns more than 30 yuan a month outside! How can we compare with him! He has money and let others rich him. Why should your fourth wife be angry with him?" Aunt Chen Said to Wang Shi with a smirk. Juexin's face turned red again.He seemed about to open his mouth to say something.But he suddenly controlled himself, buried his head for a moment, then raised his face and said bitterly, "That's not what I meant." They didn't answer.He said again: "Fourth aunt, don't be angry, I'm leaving." He turned around and walked into the aisle.Before he entered his room, he heard the triumphant laughter of the two women.

When he returned to the house, he immediately saw the photo of his late wife Rui Jue hanging on the wall.He lost the strength to hold himself, barely walked to the desk, and sat down on the movable chair as if he fell down.He buried his head on the table and wept sadly. "Master," a young girl's voice reached his ears.The voice called him three times in succession before he slowly raised his head. Cuihuan stood in front of him, looking at him with sad and sympathetic eyes, she apologized gratefully: "It's all my fault, I made the young master angry." "Are you okay?" he said in surprise.He didn't understand what she meant, and he looked at her gently with tears in his eyes.

"Eldest young master, wash your face with a handkerchief first, and I'll give you face water," Cuihuan didn't explain his question, but said the above words.She hurried to the square table, reached into the steaming washbasin, picked up the facekerchief, wrung it dry, and sent it to Juexin. "It's hard for you," Juexin said emotionally, and took the handkerchief to wipe his face. "I heard what the Fourth Wife said just now. It's all my fault. I dragged the young master to take care of Qian'er's affairs and caused trouble for the young master. Otherwise, why would the fourth wife find trouble with the young master?" Cuihuan looked at Juexin wiped his face while speaking with anxiety.It hurt her more to see him suffer than to suffer herself.

Juexin handed the handkerchief to Cuihuan, shook his head and said, "That's not the case." He said with a tired smile, "This has nothing to do with you. I know they hate me. Even if there is no Qianer thing, they will found an excuse." Cuihuan went to the square table to twist her facekerchief.She stood there looking back at Juexin and said, "Young Master, Fourth Wife, Aunt Chen and the others hate Young Master so much? I really don't understand. Young Master is very polite to them. What did Young Master do to offend you?" They? Even if we are girls, we have to complain for the young master." She gave him the facekerchief again.

"I don't know why," Juexin said frankly.Indeed, even he himself did not understand what the real reason was.He took the facekerchief and wiped his face again.His tears and his worries were wiped away.The girl's kind concern touched him very much.He cannot understand her heart.Yet he remembered little things she had done to him.Although they were only small things, they had left indelible marks on his sensitive heart.The bunch of fiery red pomegranate flowers lit up in front of his eyes, and then disappeared again.It's a mystery.He did not know what caused him the attention of a pure young heart.But he cherishes this, and he takes comfort from it.Gradually he regained his self-sufficiency.

"I think there must be a reason," Cuihuan took the facekerchief and stood in front of Juexin.She saw his calm face, and an innocent smile appeared on her face.At this time, she didn't think of Mrs. Zhang's words, nor did she think of her hope and disappointment in the future.Her thoughts were completely concentrated on him.She didn't know him well, but she believed in him, as if he should control her joys and sorrows.Indeed, as she said herself, she believed there was a reason, but she could not think of it.She said to him: "Eldest young master, if you think about it carefully, there is always a reason. We are all a family, why can't we live in harmony? They are all masters, so they should understand better than our girls. "She took the facekerchief to the front of the square table, put it in the washbasin and scrubbed it.While washing, she turned her head and said to Juexin: "Young master, you are so kind, people always bully you. You can bear it."

"Cuihuan, be careful what you say. If others hear these words, you will suffer," Juexin quickly reminded her.His eyes moved from her face to the door. Cuihuan put on the wrung-out facekerchief, and said with a smile: "Young master, you are really careful. What's so strange about our girl being beaten, and I'm afraid people will hear it? The young master still takes care of me?" A sentence is spoken in a lower voice.She went out with the washbasin in her hand.She walked out of the corridor, poured water into the long and narrow patio in front of the servants' room, and then returned to the room with the empty basin.

She walked to the door of the room, and unexpectedly heard someone talking inside.She lifted the curtain and saw Yuan Cheng and Zhou Gui were in the room.Zhou Gui stood respectfully in front of Juexin and spoke to Juexin.What she heard was: "...the old lady is still clamoring to go to the nunnery. The eldest wife and the second wife can't persuade her. The eldest wife is very anxious. Call me to invite the eldest aunt and the eldest young master to go. The eldest aunt is not in the house , the young master invites the young master to go there when he is free." "Mom, I'll go right away," Juexin replied, stood up, and told Yuan Cheng, "You go and call the big class to take my sedan chair."

son is ready. " "Eldest young master, do you want to call someone to pick up the eldest lady?" Cuihuan put the washbasin away, then came out from the inner room, and when she heard Juexin's instructions to Yuan Cheng, she interrupted and asked.That day, Mrs. Zhang's mother invited Mrs. Zhou to play cards with Mrs. Mrs. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou is still at Zhang's house, so Cuihuan had such a question. Juexin immediately replied: "It's not necessary now. I'll go and see first." After Yuan Cheng left, he suddenly remembered something, and told Cuihuan: "Go and see if Second Young Master is in the house. He If he is here, invite him to come to my place." Cuihuan agreed, and hurried out.Zhou Gui still stayed in the house waiting for Juexin's order.Seeing that there was no one else in the room, he couldn't help but confide a few words hidden in his heart: "Eldest young master, I think our master's temper is too weird. The old lady is easy to talk, but the master just wants to make her angry." Take the matter of the young lady as an example. If the young master hadn't tried to negotiate again and again, how could the young master have buried the coffin of the young lady? The old lady was happy yesterday, but the master made her angry again. None of us have read After reading the book, I can't figure out what kind of heart our master has?..." Zhou Gui didn't say anything more when he saw Juemin coming in. He just asked in conclusion: "Does the young master have any orders? " "No more," Juexin replied, shaking his head.Then he said to Zhou Gui: "Go back and report to the old lady: I'll be right away," Zhou Gui withdrew.Juexin briefly told Juemin what Zhou Gui had told him.He finally asked: "You go with me, okay?" Juemin frowned and didn't answer.He is thinking.He has to go elsewhere today. Juexin looked at him with pleading eyes, and explained: "Mom is playing with Zhang's grandma, so I don't think there is any need to invite her. If you go with me, one more person is fine." "I'm going to my aunt's place today." Juemin said frankly. "I'm going too. My aunt's house is holding a confession today, and today is my aunt's death day," Juexin added, "I won't delay at grandma's house. I'll go to my aunt's place with you. I'll wait until sister Qin recovers from her illness completely." , we invite her to play someday." Juemin had no choice but to agree.Cuihuan heard Juemin say go, and without waiting for Juexin's order, she said, "Master Yuan, I'll call Master Yuan to come in a sedan chair." After she finished speaking, she went outside. Juexin and Juemin arrived at Zhou's house, and the sedan chair stopped in the hall.Zhou Gui accompanied them inside. Master Mei was coming out of the room with his head buried.When he saw Brother Juexin, his pale face showed a slight joy, and he hurried over to meet them. "Big cousin, you came just in time, please save me," Mei walked up to Juexin, grabbed Juexin by the arm, and begged in a low voice.His cheeks were slightly sunken, there was a dark circle around each eye, two or three lines on his forehead, his eyebrows were gathered together, his eyes were dull, and his voice trembled slightly. "What's the matter? Just tell me!" Juexin asked in panic, Mei's face aroused his compassion. "Big cousin, what do you think I should do? Grandma Sun quarreled with my mother-in-law. Dad's words offended my mother-in-law again. My mother-in-law refused to eat today and said she would go out to practice Taoism. Both my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law scolded me, saying that I defended my mother-in-law." Mrs. Sun complained again that I was protecting my mother-in-law. She was still crying in the room, arguing to go back to her mother's house. Cousin, what do you think I should do? I'm not persuading me, I'm not persuading me, I don't like both sides ,” Mei murmured in a low voice.He let go of Juexin's arm, twisting his hands painfully.There was an expression of pain mixed with fear and fatigue in his eyes. Juemin took a look at Juexin, and thought, "See what good idea you have!" Juexin looked at Mei with pity.He couldn't help but sympathize with the young cousin, but Mei had let him down too.He thought: "You should be a little decisive! Why do you want to learn from me? And you are worse than me!" Then he said gently, but also with a bit of reproach: "My cousin, in good conscience, my cousin's temper Also a little older. Grandma is the most modest person. She is so old, and her cousins ​​will not let her be a little bit, so why do you have to make her angry?" "Big cousin, you don't know, I said the same thing. Young Mistress Sun is usually very good, but when she loses her temper, she doesn't listen to anyone. I have to be caught in the middle and suffer." Young Master Mei seems to have been greatly affected Hastily discerned the grievance.Seeing that the two cousins ​​were silent, he said, "Ms. Sun's temper is getting more and more serious, and my father always speaks for her. How dare I talk back to my father? I can only listen to Mrs. Sun's words. In fact Speaking of which, it's still Young Mistress Sun who treats me well." Juemin couldn't bear it anymore, so he interrupted coldly: "Cousin Mei, you should also distinguish right from wrong, and you can't be obedient in a daze!" "I just don't know," Mei whispered defensively.Seeing that they didn't believe this sentence, and the two sets of eyes kept pressing him, he finally added two words bluntly: "I'm really afraid of them. I'm afraid of everyone." He raised his face and looked at the sky in despair.The sun shone on this pale face, making it look even less like a living face.Juemin's eyes touched this terrifying face, he bit the skin of his lower lip, and sighed.He really wanted to say a few words that could hurt people, and suddenly a desire for revenge arose in his heart. He needed to satisfy this desire, and he needed to hurt those who he thought should be punished. Juexin looked at Master Mei suspiciously.He could not have imagined that a young man could be such a poor thing without free will.He felt that he was still restricted by the environment and oppressed by the old forces, and he sacrificed his will for the peace of the people in his family, floating with his fate.Mei voluntarily gave up everything and knelt at the feet of some people to brutally destroy him.Mei simply didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't know what kind of terrible road he was walking towards.This seems impossible.Juexin wanted to find a negative answer on Mei's face, hoping to see a little bit of strong and determined expression on it, or any trace of youthful strength.But that pale thin face kept expanding in front of his eyes.Not an iota of hope.Even Juexin believed that this young man ruined his future in vain.His doubts turned to pity.But he couldn't help complaining and said to Mei: "You can't do this, your family is looking forward to you!" Juemin sneered dissatisfiedly beside him.Juexin felt as if he had been whipped on the back.He knew how wrong he had said.Is he mocking himself? "I can't help it either. I've been used to listening to my father since I was a child," Mei said timidly and seemed to defend herself. "I've never seen such a father," Juemin said bluntly.He turned around suddenly, intending to walk into the main room, but saw Yun standing on the stone steps in front of the main room.Yun called loudly: "Big cousin, second cousin." Juemin agreed and walked up the stone steps.Seeing the smile on Yun's face, he asked in a low voice, "How is grandma?" "Now she's calmed down a little, and Da Ma and Ma are still in the room trying to persuade her," Yun replied carefully and softly.She thanked Juemin again: "Second cousin, thanks to you for the matter of my sister this time. Now we are at ease." Dispersed.When she saw Juexin and Mei also walking up the stone steps, she said to Juexin kindly and apologetically, "Big cousin, I'm so sorry that you're so tired that you came here again." Juexin also said A few words of kindness.She said again: "My mother-in-law is better now. Mom and the others are all in the mother-in-law's room. Are you going in?" Yun accompanied Juexin and Juemin to Mrs. Zhou's room.But Mei said from behind: "I'm not going," and he planned to go back to his room to see his wife. "Cousin Mei, why don't you go in and sit for a while," Juemin knew what Mei was thinking, and deliberately persuaded him to stay. So Yun also said, "Brother Mei, you might as well go in and sit with the first and second cousins ​​for a while." Mei looked at Juexin and Yun in fear, and said in a low voice, "I'll go, my mother-in-law will lose her temper again when she sees me." But he followed them in anyway. Mrs. Zhou was lying on the bed.Mrs. Chen sat by the bed, while Mrs. Xu stood in front of the bed.Mrs. Chen lowered her head and tactfully persuaded Mrs. Zhou.When they heard Yun's voice (Yun reported: Mother-in-law, the first and second cousins ​​are here!"), they all turned and looked at the door. "Juexin and Juemin bowed to them. Seeing Mrs. Zhou barely sitting up, Juexin politely discouraged them: "Grandma, you are tired, just lie down more.You don't have to be polite to us. " Mrs. Zhou replied gently with a tired smile: "It doesn't matter, I've had enough of lying down. I just wanted to get up and sit for a while." She stepped off the step stool, and without Mrs. Chen's support, she walked tremblingly to the I sat down in front of the rattan lounge chair in front of the window.Everyone followed her to the window.Cuifeng poured brother Juexin tea, then walked up to Yun and talked to Yun in a low voice. Juexin stood respectfully in front of Mrs. Zhou, quietly looking at this haggard old face.In just a few months, the wrinkles on my face have increased so much.The white in the hair almost covered up the black gray.A few red threads appeared in the eyes.These changes of hers aroused his sympathy, and he moved and persuaded: "Grandma, you are too tired recently. You old man don't need to be angry with them...." Before Juexin could finish speaking, Mrs. Zhou interrupted and said, "Mingxuan, sit down." She pointed to a stool next to her.She smiled gratefully and said, "You came just in time. You have a much better heart than your uncle. He really pissed me off." Seeing that Juemin was still standing, she asked Juemin to sit down too.She continued to say to Juexin (she spoke slowly and clearly): "Mingxuan, you know everything about our family. It has been less than two years since we returned to the province, and this family is almost in disarray. This is all done by your uncle alone according to his temper. Hui'er's life was ruined in his hands. Thanks to you two brothers, Hui'er's coffin was buried yesterday." At this moment, Mrs. Chen She opened her mouth to speak next to her, but she just uttered two or three words when she was stopped by Mrs. Zhou, who said, "Young lady, please don't interrupt me." Mrs. Chen had no choice but to say "yes".The old lady Zhou continued: "Now Young Mistress Sun actually quarreled with me face to face. Your uncle only protects her. Mingxuan, tell me, what's the point of me living in this world. Thinking about it, I'm really discouraged. I worked so hard to bring up your uncle, and I didn't treat him badly. But he is so angry with me. If it weren't for your first aunt, second aunt and Yun'er here, I would really want to become a monk. In the nunnery At least you can live a quiet life. Don't be angry with him here." Her eyes shifted to Young Master Mei's face with a shy and frightened expression, and she said disgustedly: "My son doesn't learn well. He I only know how to listen to his father and Mrs. Sun. Not only did he not help me teach Mrs. Sun, but he helped Mrs. Sun to make trouble everywhere. He is really worthless. I get angry when I see him!" The words frightened Young Master Mei to quickly lower his head, not daring to make a sound. "Grandma, you don't have to be so angry, old man," Juexin persuaded with a smile, "Cousin Mei is young and ignorant, just let my aunt teach him a lesson. Sun Shaonai was pampered again in her mother's house, Not long after he left the cabinet, his temper couldn't be changed for a while, so he was naturally a bit self-willed, but as time goes on, he will gradually get better. Grandma and eldest aunt don't need to be as knowledgeable as her. Uncle is just a bit reserved, although he doesn't understand things at the moment. After you think about it, it will become clear. Grandma, please take care of yourself, it is important to take care of your body." Juemin gave Juexin a dissatisfied look.He still sat quietly on the chair by the door, raised his head and looked at the tea board in the sky, without saying a word. "Mom, Mingxuan's words are very reasonable. My sister-in-law said the same thing just now. Mom really doesn't have to be angry with them. Mom just relax. Next time if you have something to do, please invite the eldest sister. Mom will just leave it to us. "Ms. Xu also followed Juexin's tone to persuade Mrs. Zhou. Juexin went on to say, "Mom went to Mrs. Zhang's mother's house today. I didn't send anyone to Zhang's house to inform her. Look, grandma, do you want to call someone to invite Mom over here?" "No need. Just let her play around in Zhang's house. There's nothing to do now, so why bother to interrupt her interest," Mrs. Zhou said gently, shaking her head.She seemed happier and in better spirits now. "Then I would like to invite my mother-in-law, first aunt, second aunt, cousin Yun, cousin Mei, and younger cousins ​​to come to our house the day after tomorrow to play. Grandma can also relax. I also want to accompany grandma to type cards," Juexin sincerely invited road. "Ms. Sun is going back to her mother's house the day after tomorrow," Young Master Mei said boldly from the corner of the room without waiting for Mrs. Zhou or others to speak. Mrs. Zhou gave Mei an annoyed look, and others also felt that Mei's words didn't sound very pleasant to their ears.Mrs. Zhou originally wanted to decline, but after hearing what Master Mei said, she immediately accepted Juexin's invitation.She said: "She goes back to her mother's house alone, maybe we can't go? It's fine without her. It won't make me feel unhappy when I'm with her." Master Mei knew that he had hit a snag, so he didn't dare to make a sound anymore.He felt very bad.He felt a tickle in his chest and a tickle in his throat.He was always standing in the corner of the house, and then he felt that he couldn't support it anymore.He wanted to cough, but he didn't dare to cough out loudly. He coughed dryly two or three times, and then stopped again. Chen and Xu went on to say a few words.Hearing Mei's dry cough, Mrs. Chen turned her head to look at him, and said pitifully, "Actually, Mei's son was also hurt by his father. He looks really ugly recently, and he often coughs dryly. I'm worried that he's sick. His father must be biting Said that his body is much better than before, and forced him to make a fuss." "It's all a given. I didn't expect this devil to appear in our family. He ruined everything," Mrs. Zhou shook her head and said with a sigh. Yun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke.She said with concern: "I think Meidi is probably sick, I'd better see a western doctor. It would be better if he gets treated sooner." "Miss Yun, don't mention western medicine. Your uncle will lose his temper when he hears about western medicine," Chen said angrily. "But Cousin Mei should also take care of his body. How can he not get a doctor if he is sick? Just ask Luo Jingting to take a look," Juexin said emphatically.He looked at the young master Mei who was standing cowering in the corner with sympathetic eyes. "But your uncle will definitely not let you call for a doctor, so what can you do?" Chen said to Juexin begging for help. "Then, brother, go and persuade uncle," Juemin said to Juexin sarcastically.He didn't speak for a long time, but he saw things clearly.This room is full of talkers: they may speak fiercely and clearly, but they are not ready to do a thing.There is no practical person here.None of them agreed with Zhou Botao's ideas and methods.But the main things in this mansion are all controlled by him alone.No matter whether they objected beforehand or afterwards, none of them reached out to stop it while it was going on.He knew that they would let Zhou Botao send Young Master Mei to his death.So he doesn't want to talk to them. "Really, I'll talk to my uncle, maybe there's still a way," Juexin volunteered as if seeing a glimmer of hope. "Then please young master talk to Mei Wazi's stubborn father. If it makes sense, Mei Wazi can also suffer less," Chen begged with a little joy. The old lady Zhou still shook her head, and said as if pouring cold water: "I don't think it's useless, Mei Wazi's father has such a bad temper! You can't even make sense of him!" "I'll give it a try, I haven't seen Uncle today," Juexin said still hopefully. "Then I'll go now." He stood up. "I'll come back to accompany grandma later." Juemin and Master Mei followed Juexin out of Mrs. Zhou's room. After taking two or three steps, Mei suddenly coughed dryly.Juexin stopped and said to the young man with concern: "Cousin Mei, you have to be careful yourself, you should also take care of your body." Mei also felt itchy throat and itchy chest.He barely held back his cough, looked at Juexin gratefully, and replied in a low voice: "I know too. But" he continued to speak, but the cough interrupted him.He turned his head and spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the stone steps outside the hall door. Juexin's eyes followed the phlegm to the ground, he grabbed Mei's arm in horror, and whispered: "Cousin Mei, you are vomiting blood!" Mei nodded painfully.Juemin also cast his gaze on the mouthful of phlegm, he saw blood streaks in the phlegm.He moved his eyes to the pale face without any trace of youth.His heart softened, so he stepped over the threshold to try the phlegm away with his feet. Juexin relaxed his hands and asked gently and concernedly, "Have you vomited before? Is this your first mouthful?" "Big cousin, don't tell Dad. Let me tell you, I've been vomiting for almost half a month. Not much. I'm a little scared. I don't know if it's important or not. I dare not let people know. Even I won’t let her know about my cousin,” Mei whispered to Juexin, tugging on Juexin’s sleeve for help. "Cousin Mei, tell me the truth. Apart from vomiting blood, do you have any symptoms?" Juexin asked anxiously but eagerly. "Nothing else," Mei replied sadly, "but I often break out in cold sweats at night, and wake up in the morning with warm and cold sweaters. Also, I often feel dizzy and tinnitus." "You still say there's nothing?" Juexin reproached pitifully, "Let's go to uncle quickly. I want him to ask a western doctor to treat you," he said, with a serious and frightened look on his face immediately. expression. "Big cousin, don't talk about western medicine in front of dad. Dad hates western medicine the most," Mei begged Juexin fearfully, forgetting his illness and only engraving his father's black face with anger. "You don't remember what Mom just said?" Mei is more aware of his father's temper than Juexin.But Juexin believed in his "humanity". He thought that the serious illness of his only son would make his father consider the opinions of others humbly.He also said to An Weimei: "It doesn't matter, I will explain to uncle. He won't lose his temper, don't be afraid." Juemin sneered beside him.He didn't believe Juexin's words.He almost wanted to speak to break Juexin's foolish dream.But he was also very upset, so he didn't say anything. They walked into Zhou Botao's study.Mei's father, Zhou Botao, was sitting on a rattan chair with a thread-bound book in his hand.He saw Young Master Mei coming in with Brother Juexin, and a smile appeared on his black and yellow face.He bowed lazily in answer to brother Juexin's salute and asked them to sit down. Juexin talked to Zhou Botao for a few ordinary conversations.Zhou Botao suddenly asked: "Mingxuan, have you seen grandma?" Juexin said yes.Zhou Botao asked again: "Is she still angry now? Didn't say anything?" Juemin glanced at Zhou Botao.But Juexin replied respectfully that Mrs. Zhou's anger had subsided and she had said a lot of things happily. "Her old man has too much temper and is self-willed. She had a fight with me again today over a small matter. It's really hard for me to cope with this going on," Zhou Botao complained, frowning. Even Juexin felt that his patience was reaching its limit.Yet outward humility must be maintained.He still spoke gently to Zhou Botao, but his tone was a little different, with a hint of irony.He said: "But I think grandma is in a bad mood today. After all, grandma is an elderly person. She should be more happy and feel more at ease. Uncle has always been good-natured. I should ask uncle to let grandma go when something happens. , lest her old man get sick from being bored in his heart." Zhou Botao blushed a little, he was also a little ashamed, but he still concealed and said: "Mingxuan, you don't know that I have let her go so many times. For example, Sun Shaonai is a well-known lady who is well-educated and married into my family. I have already been wronged to match a worthless thing like a baby. Grandma still finds faults and scolds people from time to time. Today I can't see how much I can persuade you, and grandma gets very angry. What else do you think I can do?" Juexin felt that his heart was churning unceasingly.He couldn't hear those words.When he heard Mei being mentioned, he took a furtive look at the poor son.Mei buried her head and didn't dare to look at anyone, her body shook slightly (maybe trembling), as if she was about to fall down.Juexin decided not to talk about the quarrel anymore.He changed his tone, as if reporting some serious news, and told Zhou Botao without any concealment as far as he knew about his vomiting blood and other symptoms.He earnestly asked Zhou Botao to send Mei to the hospital. "Mingxuan, I think you are worrying too much," Zhou Botao shook his head disapprovingly, "It's all foreigners' lies. I don't believe in Western medicine. I don't think there is any serious illness in a child, and vomiting blood is enough." It's okay. I also vomited blood when I was young. Meiwazi was not in good spirits because he was newly married and absurd. Tell him to read and practice more, and put his heart away, and his health will recover. He gave young master Mei a stern look again, and said seriously: "My son, do you hear me? From tomorrow night onwards, I will come to my study every night to listen to the "Book of Rites". Anyway, she can also help you with your studies." Young Master Mei raised his head in panic, staring at his father in a daze, not knowing what to say. "Did you hear that?" Zhou Botao's voice had already become gentle, but when he saw Mei's bewildered look and his anger rising again, he shouted sharply. "Yes, yes, I hear you," Mei replied apprehensively.He coughed again and again. "You go back to the house." Zhou Botao waved his hands disgustedly and said, "Every time you come to my room, you either make weird faces or make strange noises. You really haven't improved, and you won't change if you teach me." Young Master Mei lowered his head and responded obediently.He secretly glanced at Juexin with begging eyes, then walked out of the room slowly in despair. The injustice and pity aroused Juexin's resentment.He plucked up his courage and said to Zhou Botao: "Uncle's words are certainly reasonable. But according to my opinion, my cousin's health is too bad, and he has those symptoms. It's better to ask a doctor to see him. It would be good to invite a well-known Chinese doctor to see it. There is still time for treatment. I’m afraid it will be late.” Zhou Botao suddenly stroked his mustache and laughed contemptuously two or three times.He said stubbornly: "Mingxuan, you are too enthusiastic. Could it be that I still don't know about Meiwazi? The ancients said:" Knowing a son is like a father. 'Have you forgotten this famous saying?I am the father of a baby, how can I not care about his body and let him refuse to treat his illness?I am well aware of his illness.In fact, this is not considered a disease. Young people often have this disease, and they will recover without taking medicine.He closed the door again and said, "Let's not talk about the child anymore. Have you heard any news from outside recently?" He didn't wait for Juexin to answer, and rushed to continue: "Hui'er has been buried. I It was said that Boxiong did a good job, he has ideas and solutions. How is it now? Your eldest aunt used to make a lot of noise about this matter, which made me feel sorry for Boxiong. Now I am not ashamed to see him.
