At night, the moon rises slowly from the west ridge of Lu'ui Mountain. The bright moonlight shines on the courtyard of Banshan Village, and the village is shrouded in a light white mist.
"Jun Nan, your mother and I came here because we have one more thing to do." While the family of three was sitting in the yard, Tang Pengyun told Jiang Bian another purpose of the trip.
Jiang Bian seemed to have known for a long time that there would be such a moment. He always felt that the arrival of his parents was not that simple, so Jiang Bian's expression was very plain, no surprise, no surprise, "Dad, if there is anything, please tell me."
"Peng Yun." Zhang Jingyao seemed to be worried that what Tang Pengyun was going to do might greatly harm the very fragile family relationship that had just been established between the three people.
"Mom, let Dad talk. Is there anything we can't discuss as a family?" Jiang Bian said.
"Son, if you don't want to agree to what dad said, then I'm just making a casual suggestion." Tang Pengyun said.
"It's okay. Just say it." Jiang Bian said.
"Peng Yun." Zhang Jingyao was still worried. Although she didn't know what Tang Pengyun was going to say, she knew that it would definitely be detrimental to Jiangbian.
"Jingyao, don't worry. I'm just telling my son. If he doesn't agree, forget it." Tang Pengyun said.
"Yes, Mom, just let Dad say it. I will consider it." Jiangbian said.
Tang Pengyun told the story about the elixir.
Zhang Jingyao¡¯s expression immediately changed, ¡°Peng Yun, why didn¡¯t you discuss this with me beforehand? Is this the purpose of coming to Banshan Village with me?¡±
"No, absolutely not. I really want to come to pay homage to the brother who was kind to our son. But before coming, dad came to see me and talked about the difficulties of Tang's Pharmaceuticals. He promised me that my son If you take out the pill recipe, I guarantee that your son will not suffer any loss." Tang Pengyun defended.
Jiangbian didn't look very good when he heard Tang Pengyun talking about the elixir. He originally thought that his father was just talking about asking him to recognize his ancestors and return to the clan. Unexpectedly, what they were most concerned about was not his recognition of his ancestors and return to the clan, but the elixir. medicine.
Jiang Bian suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, "Remember last time, I told you that although I have the elixir, some of the medicinal materials in the elixir are missing. In addition, even if the elixir is available, special refining is required. No one else can refine the elixir except me."
Tang Pengyun said, "I told them the same thing, but they said that the Tang family has hundreds of years of traditional Chinese medicine inheritance, and it may not be impossible to find the medicinal materials in the elixir. In addition, the Tang family also has some research on alchemy. Maybe they can explore it. It is still possible to refine the elixir. Even if the effect is not very good, even if it is 1% effective, it is worth looking forward to."
"Peng Yun, stop talking. Your Tang family only thinks about the interests of the Tang family. Since my son has said so, why don't you even believe it? Don't think that I don't know your thoughts. Do you think that Junnan is reluctant to leave him? I brought out the pill recipe, so I want you to use the father-son relationship to impress Junnan. I wouldn't be surprised if they did this, but Pengyun, I am so disappointed when you do this." Zhang Jingyao said.
"Mom, it's okay. Dad just brought the letter." Jiangbian said.
"I can give you the prescription, but I have a request." Jiang Bian said.
"What's the request? Your grandfather said that as long as you agree, I can let you take the helm of Tang's Pharmaceuticals." Tang Pengyun was very excited. He thought this dilemma could be solved satisfactorily.
"My request is very simple. If I give the pill recipe to the Tang family, can I and the Tang family be completely settled in the future? I want to keep my name in Banshan Village, and I also think living in Banshan Village is more comfortable. In the future, I will still Continue to live in Banshan Village." Jiangbian said.
"No, no! Son, no matter what, mom will not let us separate mother and son." Zhang Jingyao said.
Tang Pengyun was a little embarrassed, "Junnan, I'm just saying, if you think you can't take out the prescription, just tell me directly."
"The elixir can be taken out. I said that day that the elixir can be taken out, but it's useless for you to get it. You still come to ask me today, which shows that you don't believe what I say. To the Tang family, I am still an outsider. . It¡¯s not as practical as a prescription. Okay, then I¡¯ll do what you want. I¡¯ll give you the prescription, but I don¡¯t want to have anything to do with the Tang family anymore. As for mom, no matter what, we can¡¯t be separated from each other. Blood and family ties. You are always my biological parents. However, I want to continue to be called by my previous name. I hope you can understand. My dad is very stupid. He always just wants to give me everything he has.??Never thought of getting anything from me. " Jiangbian said.
Zhang Jingyao stood up suddenly, "Tang Pengyun, you are proud. You got your wish! I said, how could you agree to come to Banshan Village with me so readily? It turns out that you had other plans. Now you have succeeded! You are happy. !¡±
Zhang Jingyao burst into tears. She knew that there were scars between the family that would never heal. Zhang Jingyao glanced at the riverside and stumbled towards the room.
"Jingyao, Jingyao, listen to me. Junnan, let me tell you, I really just bring you a message, I have no other meaning. If you don't want to, just tell dad directly. I'll go and tell you Your mother explains it. Jingyao, Jingyao." Tang Pengyun chased after him, but before he reached the door, he heard a loud banging sound on the door. When Tang Pengyun went to push the door, he found that the door was bolted.
"Jingyao, Jingyao!" Tang Pengyun shouted standing outside the door.
Glancing at Jiangbian, he felt that the person he was familiar with at first was slowly becoming a stranger.
Jiang Bian has lived in Banshan Village for twenty years and has always lived a very simple life. Between people, they are either incompatible with Jiang Huahua's family, or they are like brothers with Jiang Laosi and Jiang Fengshi. relative. I never thought that there would be such intrigue among a family.
Jiang Bian originally longed for the time when he could enjoy family reunion after recognizing his ancestors, but he did not ask his family to pamper him like stars holding the moon, or cherish him like a pearl in his palm. However, he never expected that he would become the one being loved. object of calculation.
¡°However, Jiangbian still experienced his mother¡¯s warmth from his mother, which is the most precious thing that has been missing for twenty years.
Jiangbian walked out distractedly, and Tang Pengyun's voice behind him became increasingly blurry.
Zhang Jingyao cried for a while before opening the door.
"Jingyao, listen to my explanation. I really" Before Tang Pengyun could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Jingyao.
"Peng Yun, don't you know what you did wrong? It was because of my negligence twenty years ago that our son was separated from us twenty years ago, and Junnan suffered for twenty years. How are you now? It is easy for the family to reunite. It is precisely because of the actions of your Tang family that our Junnan was completely lost. Do you know? When I first met Junnan, I could feel his happiness. But just now, I saw in his eyes I saw despair in him. He has been completely disappointed in us. Even if he recognizes us again in the future, I'm afraid he will never be the same as when we first met. Let alone a father and son or a mother and son in a normal family. But, no matter what, I will not give up. If Junnan wants to keep his previous name, I will call him his previous name. If he wants to stay in Banshan Village, I will let him stay in Banshan Village, and not only will he stay , I also want to stay. I must ask for his forgiveness." Zhang Jingyao said.
"How can that be done? Southern Sichuan has already prepared the matter for Jun Nan to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. If it cannot be carried out as usual, how will it be explained to the guests?" Tang Pengyun said.
"That's what your Tang family has to do. Perhaps what your Tang family needs more is not a lost grandson, but a prescription that can make the Tang family rise again. However, there is one thing I want to warn you. If you can't refine the elixir, don't even think about coming to Jiangbian again. I won't allow you to disturb his life again," Zhang Jingyao said.
At dawn, Jiangbian returned home.
"Son, where have you been all night?" Zhang Jingyao asked with concern.
"I went to play at someone else's house. It was too late, so I slept there directly." Jiang Bian said calmly.
Seeing the somewhat indifferent expression on the riverside, Zhang Jingyao sighed inwardly. Although all this was expected, Zhang Jingyao was still very disappointed.
"This is the elixir. If you find all the medicine, I can refine it for you in person to verify the authenticity of this elixir. If you can't find all the medicine, forget it. After a while, the ferry to the town will leave. Go to the pier at the entrance of the village. I will take you there now. There is a bus to the city in the afternoon. I have not walked the road behind it. You should have walked it when you came by yourself." Jiangbian said.
"Son, please send your dad back! I want to live in Banshan Village." Zhang Jingyao said.
Jiangbian did not agree or refuse, but continued to say coldly, "There is nothing special in Banshan Village. What is available here can be bought in southern Sichuan. So, I won't cause you any trouble."
"Junnan, are your parents not as good as that prescription? Dad just asked you if the prescription can be given to the Tang family. If you don't want to, just don't hand it over. Why are you doing this?" Tang Pengyun said angrily.
¡°?From now on, I will still be called Jiang Bian, with my surname Jiang and my given name Bian. I had this name when my father picked me up by the Luli River. I have heard it for twenty-one years. I am used to it and I never want to change it. " Jiangbian said.
"You, you, how can you be so heartless?" Tang Pengyun was very angry. Just when he was about to get angry, Zhang Jingyao quickly stopped him.
"Peng Yun, you go back first! This way everyone is happy. Your Tang family has got what they need most, and Jiangbian is free. I'll stay here. You can send Danfang back to the Tang family first. If you still I think we, mother and son, can come to see us in Banshan Village in the future." Zhang Jingyao said.
