Yan Qi's application for suspension was quickly approved, and she didn't have to go to the academy again in the afternoon, she actually felt very sorry for this, and she nested in the summer residence all afternoon, and the house was full of quiet, accustomed to the bustling and lively, and suddenly returned to quiet and loneliness, and sure enough, there was still a bit of a psychological gap.
It's no wonder that when Yun left the lonely old mountain forest in the previous life, he didn't look back.
Alone at home, Yan Qi is not without something to do, first go to Banyuanju from Yan Zike's bookshelf and follow several geographical travel books, take it back to sit in Xia Ju and prepare to study the customs and customs of the Dongguan area, read the book for a while, took a pen and paper to list the things to bring for a while, if she only walks alone, she is probably enough to have a burden, and now she has to take Yan Xiaojiu and Cui Xiaosi, and she should plan carefully for daily necessities, and try to be as comprehensive as possible on the basis of being as streamlined as possible.
When it was time to make dinner, the kitchen man came to ask for instructions, in the past, the sister and brother had to go to school, and dinner was basically what the kitchen cooked, but now she was idle at home, and the kitchen wanted her to take the idea.
"Let's make noodles with jajangmyeon. "Yan Qidao.
It's as simple as that, you don't have to cook any dishes, you can eat and eat, and it's still the most delicious home-cooked meal for the common people.
In the evening, Yan Zike actually got off work very early, and ran to sit in the summer residence to eat and drink, Yan Qi asked him: "When can I learn to ride a horse?"
Yan Zike turned his head and said, "Fetch the horse prepared for Miss Seven." ”
"...... the word 'take' is debatable. "Yan Qi has a bad premonition.
Then the premonition came true, and Yizhi really "fetched" the horse back - he entered the house with a pony in his arms that was not much older than a husky, and put it down in front of Yan Qi, and the pony immediately ran around the house and spread joy.
“…… Don't make trouble...... "Yan Qi was speechless and unresponsive, and he didn't want to learn to ride a horse, and he didn't have to get a pony to come...... In terms of tricks, she only obeys her uncle.
"Guo dismounted, two feet high, the palace tribute, the horse has a double backbone, can bear the weight of the high danger, light and flying. "Her uncle still explains it here.
"Xiao Jiu, you can ride it back to the room. "Yan Qidao.
Young Master Yan Jiu: "......"
Yan Zike: "It's called Lao Ma." ”
Yan Qi: ...... Naming a pony an old horse, this is a human officer?!
Yan Qi didn't expect to learn to ride a horse anymore, and the old horse was not returned to Yan Zike, but was stored in the stable of the fourth young master Yan.
After eating, the sisters and brothers were led by Yan Zike to the upper room of the Four Seasons Residence, and of course the matter of suspension of school had to be assigned to the old lady and the old lady, as well as Mrs. Yan.
"It's an old friend of mine who taught the child archery," Yan Zike sat on the chair and lied to his parents seriously, "Obedient, don't like to socialize with people, live in seclusion every day, a few years ago I went to Kyoto for something, and when I saw Xiao Qi when I was young, I felt that I fell in love, and accepted Xiao Qi as an apprentice to teach archery, but Xiao Qi was not allowed to talk about it to outsiders, so he did not disclose it to his family." ”
Mrs. Yan is a teacher from the Splendid Academy, and her views on girls learning arrows are also quite open, not to mention that riding and archery is a national sport, so she twisted her beard and nodded: "This is a good thing, it can strengthen the body in ordinary times, and it can protect the family and the country in extraordinary times." Think about the founding queen back then, let's ...... it."
Half an hour passed, Yan Zike said: "However, my old friend recently suddenly moved the mind of traveling, intending to spend this lifetime on the great rivers and mountains, I am afraid that he will not return to his hometown for the rest of his life, only this body archery ability can not be lost, the former son sent a letter to me, intending to give Xiao Qi all the knowledge he has learned in his life to Xiao Qi, a closed disciple, but because he does not like the prosperity of Kyoto, he refuses to enter Beijing to teach, so he discussed with me, and wants Xiao Qi to go to him, study for two or three years, inherit his mantle, and he will have no worries." I thought this was a good thing, even if I went, it wouldn't affect anything, first take a break here, there is also a female gentleman who teaches private school, but if Xiao Qi and a girl go on their own, it is not appropriate after all, it is better to let Xiao Jiu follow, it is said that the great Confucian Guo Zijing lives next to my old friend, there is such a rare old gentleman teaching Xiao Jiu alone, I think not only will not delay my studies, but will be more beneficial. ”
The old lady thought about who the great Confucian Guo Zijing was for a long time, and in the end he didn't think about it, but he thought that since his son said it was good, it must be good, so he didn't doubt it, weighed it for a while, and finally nodded, and said to Young Master Yanjiu: "Don't indulge yourself, save yourself three times a day, be diligent and hardworking, let's ...... it."
Young Master Yan Jiu bowed down.
Old Lady Yan listened beside her, and after the old lady finished instructing Young Master Yan Jiu, she beckoned Yan Qi to come to her, took Yan Qi's hand and looked at it carefully on her face, and finally sighed, and said: "You two sisters and brothers have suffered all these years, and now you want to go outside, you must be careful of your body, but if you feel bad, hurry home, and write to your home from time to time, don't let me and your grandfather worry, eat more good food outside, and don't be reluctant to spend the money that should be spent...... Ke'er," he turned his head and Yan Zi Ke said, "Go to the account of the public middle school to pay five hundred taels of silver, take it to the money village to exchange four hundred and ninety taels of silver, and exchange the remaining ten taels for scattered silver, and the two children will each carry some and some in the baggage," said and turned back to Yan Qidao, "Take the flowers first, and write back when it is almost enough, don't be wronged yourself." ”
Five hundred taels of silver is almost equivalent to the value of 150,000 yuan, and the old lady is also very atmospheric at the critical moment. Later, he called Young Master Yan Jiu to him, pulled one in one hand, and gave thousands of instructions.
Coming out of the upper room of the Four Seasons Residence, he went to Baochun Ju again, and said hello to Mrs. Yan, although Mrs. Yan was surprised, she didn't say much, and let people take out four hundred taels of silver from her account, "I don't dare to be at peace with the old lady, I reduced one hundred taels, and I took it first, if it was not enough, just write a letter to home." As she spoke, she asked Mama Gong to remember that Ming'er asked someone from the sewing room to measure the sisters and brothers, and then carefully make a few sets of clothes to take on the road.
sent the sisters and brothers out of the door, and there were only two Mrs. Yan and Mama Gong left in the house for a while, and they couldn't help but look at each other for a long time without speaking.
"Why do you want to leave all of a sudden?" said Mrs. Yan.
"Isn't it...... The rune water worked so hard that she had to ......," Mama Gong said in a low voice.
"Very likely," Mrs. Yan nodded thoughtfully, "If that's the case, even if we didn't waste our efforts, I don't know how long it will take them to go, three or five years will be fine, and they will have to come back after a few months." ”
"I just heard what the seventh sister meant, how can I have two or three years. ”
"Two or three years......," Mrs. Yan thought for a while, and sighed softly, "If she comes back in two or three years, she will be able to marry her off as soon as she comes back, and if you want to harm other people's families, we can be regarded as getting rid of her from now on, which is not a bad thing." ”
"Now that the seventh sister has suspended school, I'm afraid that Fu Shui can't go down. Mama Gong reminded.
"Then stop, it's not easy to do it at home, I'm afraid that the old man will find out," Mrs. Yan heard that Yan Qi was leaving, and her mood immediately improved, and as soon as she was in a good mood, she didn't have so much anger, and waved her hand, "Just remember to think of a way to send away the tea slave who put the runic water, don't leave the handle." ”
Mama Gong responded, Mrs. Yan relaxed, rested on the couch with her eyes closed for a while, and couldn't help but raise her lips and smile: "When she leaves, I have enough energy to do the big things of Brother Chao and Sister Chun, Brother Chao'er's bastard child I can't control, first follow Sister Chun'er, they are all sixteen years old, and they must do things next year." At this point, he sighed again, "It's a pity that the ones I liked last time were rejected by the master...... On Min Shangshu's birthday, how do I think Xuandehou is suitable, a talent is gentle and polite, and it is rare to be young and promising, but the old man ...... Alas, I don't think I'll ask him first, first pick out a few of the paper and show it to Jingchun himself, the master said, as long as the child likes him, he agrees, then let's let Jingchun choose by himself, the master can't complain about me this time. ”
As he spoke, he opened the small box on the kang table, took out the written note, and listed seven or eight alternative marriageable men on the note, and indicated his age and family background at the back, and handed it to Mama Gong: "Take it to her, let her think about it at night, and tell her that this is not the time to be shy, there are only a few who are of the right age, the right person, and have excellent appearance, if she doesn't pick it, let others pick it away, and then she still wants to marry low? Do you want to marry someone who is either much older than her or much younger than her?" Or marry an ugly, stupid and unpromising one? Let her think about it. ”
Mama Gong should go, this night Mrs. Yan slept very well, did not have a dream, slept until dawn, woke up when the sky was almost bright, the fire in the charcoal basin on the ground was still burning, the whole room was warm, lifted the quilt and only wore a middle coat to get out of bed did not feel cold, the glass window was covered with ice flowers, and the outside was foggy, which made the room more warm and comfortable.
Mrs. Yan stretched her waist with satisfaction, walked to the kang near the window and sat down, the girl on duty at night, Songyun, got up early, and brought a bowl of ginseng tea to Mrs. Yan's hands at the right time, Mrs. Yan slowly blew and took a sip, and was drinking, listening to the report that the second girl was coming, so she let her daughter in, and the second girl Yan walked into the door steadily, and looked at the Songyun Luoyue who was waiting in the house, and Songyun Luoyue gently exited the room with interest.
Mrs. Yan raised her eyelids slightly, curled the corners of her lips, took a sip of ginseng tea, and asked her daughter slowly, "But have you thought about it?"
"I've thought about it," the second girl Yan said calmly and clearly, "I want to marry Wu Yan, the second son of Wu, Wu Yan." 166 Reading Network
