Chapter 4 The First Young Master of the Mu Family
Just as Doctor Wang judged, Li Yaping gradually woke up. He felt a strange smell in his mouth, and it was hard to say what it felt. He concluded that when he was in a coma, someone must have fed him Chinese medicine. The room was very bright, and a ray of sunlight sprinkled in from the lattice glass, making the room full of glory. His eyes remained on the glass, and immediately realized that he had traveled to modern times, otherwise there would be no glass, but the exact era could not be known through glass.
Suddenly, the big red happy words on the glass attracted his attention again, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that the deceased was dying when he was holding a wedding? He looked around and obviously the house was a new house. Li Yaping suddenly felt a little unlucky. Could it be that the groom was overly excited and died suddenly when he was in the rain. This was too unlucky. If someone mentioned it in the future, where would he put his face?
Then another thought arose again. Could it be that the deceased's body itself is sick, and maybe it cannot withstand this trouble. What if he has a sick body? If he doesn't even have the ability to perform the "Zhou Li", wouldn't he be depressed? In that case, his time travel will be a big loss, and Li Yaping will become more and more irritable the more he thinks.
Let’s figure out what era we came to. The furnishings in the house are antique. There is an Eight Immortals table under the wall on the right, and there are Taishi chairs carved with flowers and trees on both sides. The red sandalwood paint surface is shining with a dark light. There are inkstones, brush holders, and a pair of orchid porcelain tubes leaning against the wall. There are rice paper in the porcelain tube, and calligraphy and paintings are inserted inside.
Because he was lying on the bed, Li Yaping often saw this wooden double bed with cloth curtains in movies, including during the Qing Dynasty and during the Republic of China. However, through the verification of glass on the window, it can only be these two eras. Thinking of this, Li Yaping seemed to be much more stable. He most hoped to travel to the Republic of China era, after all, this era is very close to himself.
At this time, a conversation came from the main hall outside: "Sister-in-law, have you woken up?" "Not that yet!" A woman said hoarsely. The voice of an old woman: "It's Xiangyun! Look at your swollen eyes, go and rest for a while!" "I'm resting when my brother wakes up. It's already an hour since late autumn. You go and take a look!" The woman's voice rang again.
Li Yaping felt a little kind when he heard the Beijing accent. After all, he had been in college for 4 years and had a certain relationship with the Beijing. Li Yaping couldn't help but think, is I living in the Beijing city? Hearing the footsteps coming, he realized that maybe the one who came was his wife, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The key is what his wife looks like?
After a while, a woman wearing a big red cheongsam and holding a medicine bowl appeared in her sight. The woman's face was a little haggard and her eyes were a little swollen, but she still looked very good, and her whole body exuded the strong smell of a small family jade. The woman's face was fair and she had no makeup on, so Li Yaping was a little obsessed with it.
Wanqiu met her husband's eyes open, and was at a loss for a moment and said in a word: "Cousin...Brother, you are awake." After saying that, the woman's face turned red. Her cousin called Li Yaping confused, "Cousin?" This is not his wife. At this time, Wanqiu saw that her husband didn't say a word, looking at him with good eyes, and was so scared that the bowl in her hand fell to the ground.
With a broken sound, the people in the main hall ran in. Before Li Yaping could see who was coming in clearly, a lady in her 40s rushed up and grabbed his hand and shouted: "Child, you have finally woken up," and shed tears after that. Then the lady muttered: "Son! The sky has eyes, and your life should not be lost. I pray for my mother every day that the Buddha will keep you safe. I will go to the temple to fulfill my wish tomorrow."
Wan Qiu pulled up the wife and said, "Mother-in-law, you should be happy when you wake up. You must be careful." He called her mother-in-law and cousin. Li Yaping suddenly realized, could I get married by a close relative? It is very likely. Judging from their pretense, this family is obviously a wealthy family, and it is common for wealthy people to get married by cousins.
At this time, four young women and two young men surrounded his bedside. Two of the four women were wearing red cheongsams, the hair of married women, and the other two were wearing braids. The men and women all called the eldest brother, one of the beautiful women wearing red cheongsams had a strange expression, red and swollen eyes and forced to hold back tears.
Li Yaping saw two young men standing behind, wearing long robes and smiling faces. Suddenly, Li Yaping found that they had no braids on their heads, and he quickly concluded that he was in the Republic of China era. Li Yaping closed his eyes and calmed his emotions for a while. When he opened his eyes again, he found a man with a majestic face, wearing glasses, and about 50 years old appeared in front of him. Li Yaping guessed that the head of the family appeared.
The visitor was wearing a black double-breasted jacket, a brown skirt on his lower body, and a pair of glasses. He was both gentle and had the style of being an official. The facts were clear, but he must have come to the Republic of China era. As a college student in the literature department, his historical knowledge must be familiar, and his conjecture was further verified through the shadow reflected in the "father".
Li Yaping thought that it was great to come to the Republic of China era, and the age was not long ago, and it was not very difficult for him to integrate into this society. Especially when there was no obstacle to communicating with modern people, Li Yaping suddenly felt great relief at his "rebirth", and he was even a little intoxicated. Mu Tianyi asked: "Child, how do you feel?" Li Yaping nodded without saying a word.
Mu Tianyi said, "The eldest young master just woke up, let him rest! You all go back to the house!" The crowd dispersed, and Mrs. Mu asked Wanqiu to give the eldest young master something and then feed the medicine. After the crowd left, Wanqiu asked with concern: "Cousin, what do you want to eat?" Li Yaping only said one word: "Porridge!" Wanqiu hurriedly ordered the maid to take the porridge.
Li Yaping now knows that he has come to a big family. His parents have already met with him, and his wife has also met with him. The key is that the four women and two men who have just called him are unable to accurately judge it. There must be his younger brother, sister-in-law, and sister. It seems that he must use the excuse of being sick to be misled for a while.
Mu Tianyi and Mrs. Mu returned to the house. Mu Tianyi said, "Did you find that the eldest young master's eyes are a little strange, as if they are unfamiliar with everyone. Could it be that the eldest young master's head is wrong?" After hearing what the master said, Mrs. Mu asked anxiously: "What should I do? Please come and have a look again!"
Wanqiu fed a bowl of porridge with his own hands, and then fed the medicine. After drinking the porridge and taking the tonic, Li Yaping's face turned red and his spirit improved significantly. Suddenly, Li Yaping felt sleepy and fell asleep again. When he woke up again, he found an old man with a handsome face was taking his pulse. Seeing that Li Yaping woke up again, the old man kindly asked a few questions.
Li Yaping knew that the old Chinese doctor was testing him. Li Yaping pretended to think. Although the answer was a bit awkward, it was basically not outrageous. Then the old Chinese doctor asked about what happened in the past. Li Yaping nodded and shook his head. The old Chinese doctor smiled and stroked his beard, then walked out.
Mu Tianyi and Mrs. Mu who were waiting in the main hall saw Doctor Wang coming out, Mu Tianyi said: "Doctor Wang, there will be no problem with the eldest young master's head!" Doctor Wang said: "The eldest young master's body has no problem, but it is difficult to draw a conclusion. There have been such cases before. After a person wakes up after pretending to die, his memories will partially disappear, and his personality and character will change. Now he can only recover slowly by himself."
Mrs. Mu asked: "Doctor Wang, are you saying that the eldest young master can't remember anything about the past?" Dr. Wang said: "I'm talking about part of the memory. I asked him a few questions just now, and the answer was OK. When I asked him about the past, he seemed to have an impression, but it was very vague. As for how far the eldest young master can recover, I dare not draw a conclusion. To be honest, it is already a miracle on earth that the eldest young master can turn around alive. This is the first time I encountered it!"
That night, after listening to my mother-in-law's instructions, Wanqiu said to Li Yaping with some trepidation: "My mother-in-law told me that you may not remember what happened before, so I will tell you more. According to Doctor Wang, you may have lost some memory after this great disaster, and even your character has changed." Li Yaping was overjoyed when he heard it, and the old Chinese doctor's statement helped him a lot.
Li Yaping said: "The ancients said: If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Maybe I can do something great." After that, Li Yaping held Wanqiu's little hand. Wanqiu looked at her husband and felt sweet in her heart. A sense of happiness and warmth surged throughout her body. She couldn't help but talk about the things at home...
Li Yaping hugged his beautiful wife in front of him and couldn't help but think of the partner he had had in college. He compared women from two eras. His girlfriend, who was from college, was assigned to a big city in the south after graduation, and Li Yaping's future was still in a slump. When Li Yaping joined the army, his girlfriend broke up with him decisively, and there was no word of nostalgia. Li Yaping thought that women today are traditionally polite to cherish the weak, while women in later generations are independent and strong. Due to the different times, it is difficult to make accurate judgments.
Li Yaping looked at Xiaoniao Yiren's wife and suddenly felt impulsive, but he still held it back. Facing his wife's confidant, he reached out to hold Wan Qiu into his arms, and Wan Qiu's face turned red again. Li Yaping said: "I have a memory of what you said just now. But some things are a little blurry. After your reminder, I will recall it. In the future, you will often tell me about the family affairs, including relatives, friends and neighbors. In short, I am willing to listen."
For several days, Mrs. Mu came to visit her son. Seeing that her son was getting better and better, the wife even talked about a lot of things at home. Li Yaping had learned from Wan Qiu that she had two younger brothers and two younger sisters. Her second sister-in-law was called Hou Jingru and her third sister-in-law was called Liu Xiangyun. Hou Jingru came to visit her second brother once a few days ago, and the couple never came again.
The third sister-in-law Liu Xiangyun came almost twice a day, and the third brother did not show his face once. For some reason, the beautiful third sister-in-law was elegant and spoke in a good manner. But he found that Liu Xiangyun never dared to look at him, and he always had some concealment, but he felt that Xiangyun was particularly concerned about him. This made Li Yaping feel confused. Did the deceased have any feelings for Liu Xiangyun? If there was really a problem, it would be great.
