Chapter 1 Brothers

The spring forest has many beautiful flowers and sorrowful birds

The spring breeze blows my silk clothes again

Climbing up the veranda in the orchid pool at night

Riding on the moon to pick lotus and get lotus seeds every night

Looking up at the tung tree and tung flowers are very pitiful

May the sky be free from frost and snow, and the purplish son be free for thousands of years

The thick ice of the abyss is three feet thick and the plain snow is thousands of miles away

My heart is like pine and cypress, what is the love of you?

There was still a bit of coldness in the early morning of early spring, and the mist floated above the largest mansion in the northwest border of the Great Yuan Kingdom, "Guihua City", and the milky white mist trembled slightly in the morning breeze. If you look carefully, you could hear a hint of moans from the peerless beauty.

The spacious bluestone roads in Naihua City were filled with dew. The bare and watery streets looked clean. A few chickens and ducks swayed across the street. A black dog hung his ears and his tail stomped, and followed behind the chickens and ducks sneakily. Suddenly, the black dog raised his ears, shivered slightly, and suddenly spread his legs and ran away, like a gust of wind tearing open the thin mist and disappearing at the end of the street.

A small and exquisite varnished portal on the side of the road suddenly opened, and a delicate voice with a sensual charm came from the door: "Mr. Lin, you will remember to come and take care of Nu Nu next time~~~"

A young man who was over six feet tall, pale, messy hair, and a big red cloak with silver bamboo leaves on his body trembled with his legs, walked out of the door with a shiver. A smile appeared on his white and blue face, and he waved his hand and said, "Remember, remember, hehe, Xiao Jiaoer, I will definitely remember to bring your sister next time, and I will comb her together, young master."

With a strong obscene smile on his pretty face, the young man dug and touched the girl who was sending him out with one hand, and took out a ingot of silver from his pocket and smashed it hard at the black dog that had already fallen into the end of the street. He cursed loudly: "Damn dog, it's your bad luck in the early morning! Next time, I will definitely kill you next time!"

After coughing hard for a few times, the young man spitted a mouthful of sticky yellow phlegm on the clean bluestone slab, and was moved to the girl beside him for a while. Then he smiled and let go of the girl and headed to a varnished carriage on the corner of the street. While walking, he took his ears and shouted loudly: "Lao San, Lao San, wake up, wake up! Send me back to my son."

Just then, singing came from a very far away.

The singing is charming and there is infinite affection inside. Listening to the tone that comes one after another, it seems that nearly a hundred girls are singing loudly at the same time.

A big man with messy hair emerged from the varnished carriage. He tilted his head and glanced at the young man a few times, yawned and asked, "Master, are you going back now? Don't you go to Jiweizhai for some snacks?"

The young man pulled out a folding fan that was two-size-fits-long length from his belt, slapped the folding fan hard, and shouted angrily: "Shut up! Listen, what's the sound?"

"The flowers in the spring forest are so charming, the birds are so sad, the spring breeze is so passionate and passionate that blows my silk clothes~~~~"

The crisp and melodious singing became closer, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo also drifted over with the morning breeze.

The mist in the sky suddenly dissipated, and a red sun suddenly lifted up at the top of the city wall in the east, spreading the red sunshine generously all over the sky and the earth.

Like the sunshine that suddenly filled the world, the streets of Guihua City, which was originally empty, suddenly filled with people. People were surrounded by heads, crowded, people pressed, and people pushed people. A narrow passage was left in the middle of the main road facing north and south in the city. Groups of strong servants wearing red clothes and red flowers on their chests emerged from somewhere, holding red hardwood sticks in their hands, pushing the people on the road back to the back as much as possible.

The young master was almost squeezed to the ground by the sudden rise of people. He screamed in fear, and hurriedly jumped into the carriage and got into the carriage. After a while, he poked his head out of the car window. He looked east and west, and glanced carefully at the strong servants in red clothes. He hurriedly knocked the driver's third head with a folding fan, and shouted loudly: "Lao San, what's going on? What's the matter in Guihua City? I, Master Lin, don't you know?"

Squatting on the shaft of the car, he looked at the third brother in the direction of the southern city gate, touched his head, and turned around and smiled foolishly, "Master, you have been in the 'Fenyunju' these two days, how can you know the news that was just heard yesterday? Our Wang family in Guihua City and the Zhang family in Guiying City facing southeast have married."

"Climb up the veranda on the veranda in the evening and stay in the orchid pool to pick lotus seeds every night~~~~"

The singing became closer and closer, and the dull sound of the gongs in the opening road also came from the southern city gate.

Young Master Lin was stunned for a while, and the folding fan pressed his brows hard, frowned and said, "Wang family? Did Wang Lao Er marry a wife? He was still competing with me in Fanyun Curie yesterday, why did he marry a wife today?" He whispered and angrily: "Okay, Wang Lao Er, you are so fucking unkind. You won't tell your brothers about marrying a wife so much. You deserve your kidney deficiency! But it's strange, why do you send a wedding early in the morning? Don't we pay attention to the northwest to send a wedding at noon?"

The third brother looked at Master Lin and smiled silly, shook his head vigorously.

"Silly guy!" Young Master Lin cursed angrily, and nowhere did he get angry, kicking the third brother out of the carriage.

The third brother climbed up from the ground without any humming, and obediently squatted under the shaft of the cart. The blue and white horse who was pulling the cart glanced at the third brother coldly, and suddenly his tail shook and his long tail swept across the third brother's head.

"Looking up at the tung trees and tung flowers, I wish the sky was free of frost and snow, and the sycamore son had been rid of for thousands of years~~~~"

The singing is closer. People can be seen vaguely rushing on the streets in the distance, and you can even hear the loud noises coming from a group of idle people.

Amid the sound of firecrackers, a thick eyebrows and big eyes looked extraordinary, but his two eye sockets were deeply concave. His eyes were black and his eyes were obviously over-explosive. He was surrounded by a group of red-clothed servants and rode a white, tall horse and rushed towards the south gate along the street. The young man looked left and right in a daze. Then, he suddenly saw Master Lin who had poked out half of his body from the carriage on the side of the road. He hurriedly shouted: "Lin Yao, Master Lin, I, why am I going to marry suddenly?"

Young Master Lin opened his mouth, wiped a drop of saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and stared blankly at the young man running away quickly by a group of wolves and tigers.

"How did I know you're going to get married? You don't know, how could I know? I'm not your father!"

After coughing violently, Mr. Lin spit out another mouthful of thick phlegm with a little bloodshot on the ground. He frowned, stretched out his right hand and touched his left wrist vein. His cheeks suddenly twitched violently: "It's bad, winter doesn't store essence, and the yang energy is too depleted. It's spring, but it's going to be tuberculosis. The old guy knows it, it's another trouble."

"The thick ice of the abyss is three feet thick and plain snow is thousands of miles away. My heart is like pine and cypress, and what is the love between you? ~~~"

As the singing became closer, you could see the twelve servants carrying a purple gold gong that was six feet in radius, and beating the gong all the way, with joy on their faces.

Behind these twelve Taoist masters, there were teams of maids holding palace lanterns and carrying incense burners. The palace lanterns were lit with mermaid oil from the deep sea, and the incense burners were burning with the best ambergris. The misty fragrance almost caused Master Lin to come. While walking slowly, the maids were singing happily. The charming singing came from their little mouths.

"Be good, so grand! I will become a Wang family and follow the Zhang family, so grand!" Mr. Lin shook his folding fan hard and slapped it in the face a few times, then hurriedly threw the fan into the carriage, and asked the third brother to make a mat. He climbed onto the carport and stood there, staring at the direction of the south gate with his eyes.

A pair of servants and maids walked slowly, and a team of guards wearing brocade clothes, waist and long swords walked by. There were nearly a thousand people to see off the wedding! Then, more than thirty red servants surrounded with smiles, with a dull expression on their faces. The second young master of the Wang family ran by excitedly. Behind him was a red sedan chair lifted by thirty-two girls in colorful clothes.

The cabin is about a meter wide, and four pillars carved with flowers and birds have supported a three-layer glazed tower. Countless pearls of thumb-sized heads are stringed into curtains and hang down from around the tower. Through the pearly curtains, you can see a girl in a pink gauze dress sitting quietly in the cabin, a veil made of purple pearls the size of sesame grains, which firmly covers her appearance. Outsiders cannot see her appearance through a layer of bead curtains and a veil.

Standing on the roof of the carport, Mr. Lin danced and looked at the sedan chair for a while. He suddenly whistled and shouted loudly in the direction of the sedan chair: "You little lady, lift your curtain!"

In the northwest dialect of the Great Yuan Kingdom, "陈" has a different meaning, which means a woman's breast pocket. Mr. Lin asked the girl in the sedan chair to lift the "陈" to look at the breasts and breasts!

Several servants who were guarding the side of the sedan chair looked at Mr. Lin angrily. Several servants in golden robes were about to come up and beat Mr. Lin. However, several other servants in red hurriedly grabbed them and muttered a few words in their ears. The servants in golden robe were stunned, glared at Mr. Lin in surprise, and returned to the side of the sedan chair in disappointment.

Seeing that the girl in the sedan chair was motionless, as if she hadn't heard his shouts at all, Young Master Lin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed in a low voice: "What a little iceberg lady. It's okay, Wang Er and I are brothers of life and death. What's the difference between his wife and my wife? We have the only way to see her appearance."

After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Young Master Lin held his hands and sighed: "This matter is mysterious. When I was sending a bride in the early morning, Wang Er himself didn't know that he was going to get married. It was really weird. Or would you go to his house for a wedding banquet? However, the old annoying thing in the family was really hateful. I haven't been home for two days, so I'm afraid I'll have to scold you again."

He sighed and subconsciously touched his butt. Lin Da Shao sat cross-legged in the carport with boredom, and shouted lazyly: "Three, hurry up and go back."

The honest third brother responded, hurriedly climbed up the shaft of the carriage, waved the whip and shook it gently, and the horse pulling the carriage moved obediently and walked along the street to the north.

The crowds watching the excitement on the road gradually dispersed, and countless people were sighing that they were worthy of being the marriage between the two richest men on the northwest ground. Who has ever seen this style and this scene?

Just this big scene of seeing off a bride is enough for the people of Guihua City to be happy to talk about it for half a year.

The northwest counties of the Yuan Dynasty were not originally very lively, and the people were already very idle. In addition, they were in troubled times, and everyone had a sense of fear of being in danger. Today's joyful scenes were enough to dilute the slightest uneasiness in their hearts - wealthy families could still hold marriages like this. Perhaps, this peaceful time could last for a while, right?

The varnished carriage walked around the street for a while and arrived on a street in the northwest corner of Guihua City.

This street is three zhang wide and about a hundred feet long. There are a series of shops on the street to the west, with all kinds of businesses. The street to the east is occupied by a huge pharmacy shop. The street to the hundred feet long is all about the shops of this pharmacy called Huichuntang. Along a distance, a scent of medicine came to the face, making people feel excited.

The main hall of Huichun Hall is nearly six meters high and about twenty meters wide. Eight ebony pillars about three feet thick in the lobby firmly support the huge hall. On the lintel of the main hall, there are three large words with golden paint falling off: Huichun Hall. This looks dilapidated plaque, and the dark and a bit outrageously large main hall are gathered together, but it gives people a sense of peace of mind.

Young Master Lin jumped out of the carriage and walked up to the steps in front of the main hall with a gloomy face. He stood at the door of the main hall and waved to a doctor who was prescribing the prescription in the hall. The doctor was stunned, hurriedly put down his pen with a smile, walked respectfully to Young Master Lin, and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, are you back?"

The doctor with a goatee smiled so well, but deep in his eyes, there was a faint sense of helplessness and a little contempt.

Young Master Lin carefully looked into the deep hall for a while, then lowered his voice and asked, "Master Hu, where is the old man?"

Hu Zhutie raised his beard and said with a smile: "The head of the Wang family is here and is talking to the old man behind him."

Young Master Lin was stunned and said in surprise: "Wang Er is married today, and the team to send off the bride has just passed. What is Mr. Wang doing in our shop now?"

The folding fan shook gently, and opened the folding fan a few times very casually. Young Master Lin whispered: "It's good if you have something to do. Well, help me get a few ingots of 'Purple Plum Heyang Pill'."

"Purple plum Heyang Pill?" Hu Zhutie was stunned for a moment, instinctively glanced at Master Lin's lower body, then looked at his pale and blue face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Young Master, the old man must issue the signing of the purple plum Heyang Pill out of the warehouse. We can only get a hundred and eighty pills of purple plum Heyang Pill in one year."

"If you ask you to go, go, where are there so many verbose things?" Young Master Lin suddenly said furiously: "You have to sign for the old man? How can some people easily get commission medicine from the warehouse? Ah?!"

On the left side of Huichuntang, there is a row of pharmacies. At this time, more than 200 apprentices were busy working in the pharmacy. Some were taking medicine according to the prescription, some were preparing medicine for people, and some were guarding a row of stoves to help people cook certain precious medicines that needed to accurately control the fire. The benches around the wall were filled with people who were tall, short, fat, thin, beautiful and ugly, and no matter how high and low. These people, regardless of their origins, were sitting obediently on the bench, chatting endlessly with the people around them.

A young man who was less than five feet tall and seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen years old was holding an old woman out of the pharmacy door. While he was walking, he said with a smile: "Old lady, don't worry, if these three decoctions of medicine are taken, your grandson's illness will definitely be fine."

The boy had a flattering face. The baby face was a little fat. On the delicate and white skin, a pair of straight eyebrows flew straight to the temples. The big eyes were like two black gems soaked in white mercury, and the indescribable aura was impressed. With the perky nose bridge and rosy lips, the clear air and the fragrance of medicine that lingers all over the body, people couldn't help but be happy.

The old woman bowed tremblingly to the young man, and the young man hurriedly supported the old woman, thanking him repeatedly. The old woman gently wiped the young man's face and said with a sob: "Xiao Gongzi, your family are all good people! If you hadn't spared my family's medicine money, my grandson... Woooo, wuwu! Good people live long, good people have good fortune! Xiao Gongzi, God bless you, in the future, you will definitely be harmonious with your husband and wife, with many children and grandchildren, and will be rich and prosperous."

The boy grinned and blushed, not knowing what to say. He sent the old woman away, stood on the steps and looked at the old woman's back for a while, then sighed softly, clapped his hands with joy, and then walked into the main hall. Then, he saw Master Lin standing by the main hall with an unhappy face.

"Lin Xiao, you can use our Lin family's money to accumulate virtue for yourself!" Mr. Lin's face twitched, and a folding fan swung like a windmill.

The young man Lin Xiao's face changed, and his face, which was originally full of joy, instantly became stiff. His body trembled for a moment, hurriedly picked up his fists, saluted at Master Lin, "Brother."

"Don't interfere!" Master Lin knocked Lin Xiao's head with a folding fan and sneered: "I, Lin Yao, don't dare to have someone like you who can 'inherit my Lin family's ancestral property'... brother!"

Lin Yao leaned into Lin Xiao's ear with an ugly face and whispered: "Little bastard, you bastard born to a wild woman! Just by you, you also want to inherit the Spring Hall? Be your dream of spring and autumn!"

After snorting coldly, Lin Yao stood up, looked proudly at Lin Xiao, who was lowered one head than him, and walked into the lobby.

Just a few steps into the lobby, Lin Yao, who was proud, turned around and shouted to Hu Zhutie: "Why don't you go and get me the 'Purple Plum Heyang Pill'!"

Hu Zhutie looked at Lin Xiao helplessly.

Lin Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and thought for a while, and gently gestured three fingers to Hu Zhutie behind him.

Hu Zhutie felt a sharp pain in his heart, Sanding "Purple Plum Heyang Tie"! The eldest young master is really too bad to kill things.

He lowered his head, Hu Zhutie shook his head and rushed to the medicine warehouse behind the pharmacy.

Lin Xiao looked at Lin Yao who was swaying into the inner hall, sighed, and walked back to the pharmacy with a little depressed will.

Sitting cross-legged in front of a mortar, Lin Xiao picked up a medicine pestle and pounded the medicine with a 'ding ding dangdang'.

Deep in the backyard of Huichun Hall, the sound of reading aloud came. It was a child apprentice included in Huichun Hall, who was reciting various songs of medicine.

Listening to these songs of medicine, Lin Xiao, who was originally suffocated, gradually smiled on his face.
