An old man in white stopped at the entrance of the Leng residence. After looking around, he stepped forward and knocked on the red copper knocker on the vermilion door. The person who answered the door was a guard. When he saw that it was an old man, he asked respectfully," Old man, what's the matter?"”
The old man looked at it for a moment and told him the reason why he came here. His old woman was a doctor. She heard that there was a young lady in the residence who was suffering from a cold disease and wanted to try to treat her illness, so she asked the old man to look for her.
The servant immediately reported to the manor. After the report, the general immediately invited the old man into the manor. The old man waited at the door and was brought in by the steward.
The general had already asked someone to prepare tea. When he saw the old man come in, he bowed to him. The old man did not stop him and calmly accepted it. General Leng invited the old man to a seat and asked someone to bring tea over." Old man, please have some tea and rest for a while."”
The old man picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea." Does your daughter have a cold disease? Can I check her pulse?"”
General Leng remembered the Taoist priest's words in the past. Now that the old man had appeared, he immediately led him into the inner chamber without thinking.
"Miss, Miss!" Leng Shuiyun's personal maid, Qiu 'er, ran into the room in a panic. She didn't even catch her breath as she said anxiously.
"What made you so panicked?" At this moment, Leng Shuiyun was wearing a loose white robe and her hair was tied up with a ribbon. Although she was already ten years old, she still had a childish smile on her face as she questioned her servant girl.
"General, General and Madam have brought an old man.”
"Qiu 'er, you're being rude. What do you mean by old man?”Shui Yun coughed again.
At this moment, General Leng and Madam had already brought the old man into the room. Madam heard her daughter coughing and quickly went forward to take care of her.
"Mother, I'm fine. It's just that I'm in a hurry to speak. It's not a problem."
Leng Shuiyun observed the old man who came in with his parents. He was fat, had a slightly bulging belly, and had black hair that was graying. He had a smile on his face and was amiable. The old man put his hands behind his back and sized himself up. Leng Shuiyun was not angry at being looked at like this. Instead, she giggled.
"This grandpa looks like the Venus Sovereign in the story.”
"Yun 'Er." General Leng chided his daughter lightly and then apologized to the old man." My daughter doesn't know the rules and has offended you. Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against a child.”
"Good, good, not bad." The old man walked around Leng Shuiyun a few times. He first took her wrist to check her pulse, then nodded. Then, he pinched a few of her bones and muttered something. Finally, he smiled with his white beard, as if he had found a great treasure.
"My daughter's illness?" Madam Leng saw that the old man did not get to the main topic for a long time and could not help but be very anxious.
Leng Shuiyun heard her mother's question and knew that this person was someone her parents had asked her to treat. Ever since she was sensible, she remembered that her parents had hired many doctors and taken many medicines for her, but she did not get better. Now that her parents had not given up, she could not give up either. No matter what, she hoped that she would get better, no matter what price she had to pay, because she did not want her parents to worry and fear again.
"As an old man, I can guarantee that my wife can cure your daughter's illness. However, there is one condition. That is, you are willing to let me take her away and treat her.”
" This..." General Leng remembered what the Taoist had said. If he could meet an old man at the age of ten and was willing to take him as his disciple, he hoped that General would let him go. "Why don't we ask Yun 'Er for her opinion?”
Hearing this, the old man also understood the heart of a parent. He pointed at Leng Shuiyun and asked," Are you willing to acknowledge me as your master and leave home with me?"”
Leng Shuiyun turned her eyes and looked at her parents." Master, please accept my bow."”A thin figure dressed in white slowly knelt down. She knew that as long as she had a glimmer of hope, no matter how difficult it was, she had to try. Right now, she just had to acknowledge a master and leave home for a period of time. As she thought about this, she held back the tears in her eyes. She had to do it for her parents.
The old man smiled. He could see how determined and strong this girl was.
"Old man, go rest first." General Leng sent the old man to the guest room to rest.
"Yun 'er, come to father's study. Qiu' er will go and invite young miss Shui Zhi.”
In General Leng's study, Cold Water Zhi was shocked and sad after hearing what her father said.
"Father, are you really going to let sister follow that old man?”Cold Water Zhi's face was slightly pale, and her eyes were filled with tears.
"Yes, perhaps Yun 'Er's illness can be cured this way.”How could General Leng not be sad? Now that his daughter was leaving his side, no matter how sad he was, as the pillar of the family, he could only swallow his tears.
"Father, why did you call us here?" Leng Shuiyun asked.
"It's like this. Father called you here to show you something.”After he finished speaking, he took out a gold-inlaid locked box from the drawer of the bookcase. He opened it with a key and took out an object carved from black and white jade. "This jade was given to you by His Majesty after you were born.”
With a light twist, the jade was split into two." This jade is a lotus flower with two stems. I will give the snow jade to the water zoysia, and the water jade will be the ink jade." Remember, there is a lotus root below and a lotus flower above. This pair of jade lotuses is called twin stems. I hope the two of you will take good care of them and not abandon them.”
"Your daughter will save you." Leng Shuizhi and Leng Shuiyun received the Snow Jade and Ink Jade Lotus respectively. They looked at it carefully and saw an exquisite lotus flower blooming in their palms. They couldn't bear to part with it.
"No matter how long you are separated, no matter what happens in the future, you must remember that you are sisters. You must love each other and support each other for the rest of your lives.”
Madam Leng stepped forward and hugged one of her daughters in each hand as she muttered softly.
The next day, Leng Shuiyun left the manor. General Leng, Madam Leng, Leng Shuizhi, and their maids and servants were all at the entrance of the manor to send off their favorite Second Miss.
"Yun 'er, in the future, don't let father and mother worry when you are far away.”General Leng stepped forward to give his final instructions. His daughter had been born with a luxurious life. He really did not know if she was used to living a simple life in the future.
"I know." Leng Shuiyun smiled, but it wasn't from her heart. A ten-year-old girl was about to leave home and live alone. No matter how strong she was, she still felt bad.
"Miss, please take Qiu 'er with you so that someone can take care of her.”
"Qiu 'er, I'm going to treat a patient, not to be carefree. What use do I have for you? Why don't you stay and take care of my parents and sister?”
"Alright." Qiu 'er knew that Miss could not let go of her family, so she gave up and agreed instead.
" Sister, I…" Cold Water Zhi wiped away her tears.
"Sister, why are you crying? It's not like Sister won't be able to come back.”
"Bah, bah, bah, jinx. I'll wait for you to come back."
"Haha, I'm not sure. Alright, let's pull the hook." Leng Shuiyun smiled and made a pinky promise to her sister. Then, she said," Yun 'Er left.”
After Leng Shuiyun finished speaking, she turned around and boarded the carriage prepared by her parents. Then, she left with her master.
At the door of the house, her mother's tears fell from the bottom of her heart and she sobbed softly. The twin sister covered her face with her sleeves and sobbed softly. In the car, Leng Shuiyun lifted the curtain and looked back. The house was getting further and further away. Her heart ached and tears fell.
"Do you regret it? If you do, get off the car and go back.”the old man said calmly.
"No, Master."
"What made a ten-year-old girl like you make such a decision? Other girls at this age are still doted on by their parents, but you're going to be alone in the future.”The old man asked Leng Shuiyun who was crying in front of him.
"I still have a master, don't I?" Leng Shuiyun raised her head and a big smile bloomed on her tearful face.
"Haha, you're right. From now on, you still have me and your master's wife to take care of you.”
"Master, where are we going? Is it far from the capital?”
"If you want to say far, it's very far. If you want to say close, it's also very close.”
"Yun 'Er doesn't understand." Leng Shuiyun pouted, showing her dissatisfaction.
"You'll understand in the future."
"Oh, alright then. Yun 'Er will wait. Master, where are we going now?”
"Let's go home." The old man only gave a two-word answer.
