Chapter 21: Temporary Retreat

In mid-October, the capital ushered in the first snow of this winter. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The first snow is different from the goose feather snow of the 39th day, but it is mixed with drizzle, as fine and crumbled as rice grains.

In a grange in Fu's mansion in the eastern suburbs of Beijing, Fu Shaoyun was standing by the window of his study, listening carefully to the rustle of snow falling on the ground.

The rustling sound was endless, but it made him feel a different kind of tranquility.

Just like his state of mind at the moment, chaotic but silent.

After Yuan Zheng's persuasion that day, although the pain in his heart is still there, he already has the courage to face the reality.

Uncle Yuan is right, don't let the future life be full of regrets because of one regret.

In this life, he has already missed Cousin Yuan, and he can no longer be a man who indulges in sadness and achieves nothing.

But after all, if he really wants to face the fact that his beloved girl is about to become someone else's wife with a smile now, and send her the most sincere blessings, he asked himself if he could do it.

learned that on the day she returned to the capital, Fu Shaoyun chose to live in the Fu family's small grange in the eastern suburbs of the capital, and studied behind closed doors.

Calm down and prepare for the coming year's spring.

Or to remember the affection that has disappeared before the love has begun.

Since he couldn't face it calmly, he chose to avoid it for a while.

Whether he is cowardly or timid, he has been much lighter and more comfortable since he came to this small grange.

It may be a good choice to live in this way until next year's spring.

Hopefully, by that time, he will have the courage to face everything......

"Brother, guess what we're going to eat for lunch today?" he was thinking when Sun Yan gently pushed open the door of the study and walked in with a smile.

Fu Shaoyun turned around and said softly: "Yanzi, the weather is getting colder and colder, the conditions in the grange are too poor, you should go back to the house." ”

After Doudou returned to Beijing, he went to the Fu Mansion to visit the brothers and sisters.

As a result, Fu Shaoyun had already left, and Sun Yan was panicked because of Doudou and Huo Xiao, and it was a little embarrassing for the two little girls to meet that day.

Although she knew that she couldn't blame her cousin for this, she was so sad when she thought of her brother.

The more she thought about it, the more worried Fu Shaoyun became, she simply gave Mrs. Fu a gift, casually packed some clothes and came to the eastern suburbs of the grange.

has lived in the Fu family for more than ten years, and Fu Shaoyun is the only one who makes Sun Yan feel family affection.

He was not in the Fu Mansion, and Sun Yan did not have the slightest nostalgia for there.

On the contrary, this somewhat humble small grange, although the material conditions are much worse than Fufu's, but because of her brother, she instantly found the feeling of home.

This stay is nearly half a month, and Fu Shaoyun doesn't know how many times she has persuaded her to go home, but she has never taken it seriously.

Hearing such words again today, Sun Yan smiled and said: "Brother, don't persuade me, I will accompany you here for as long as you live here." ”

Fu Shaoyun had a headache, rubbed the top of Sun Yan's hair and said, "Brother can't do anything about you, it's just that you are fourteen years old, if you can be with Cousin Yuan often......"

Sun Yan understood what he meant.

Ever since she overheard her aunt's words last year that she wanted to marry her to Huo Jun, she had fallen into deep fear.

It wasn't until later that she heard that she had made a marriage with Concubine Ma Xian's niece that she was reluctantly relieved.

But it's really just a grudge of it.

She knows her aunt very well, and the most important thing in the capital is a playboy with a prominent background, and she can choose one of them to send herself away at any time.

Cousin Yuan is different, although she has not had the opportunity to be her sister-in-law in this life, she really cares about herself.

Now that she has such a good home, if she can be with her from time to time, she will definitely plan for herself.

With the future little princess in charge, my aunt will definitely have some scruples.

It's just that......

As Cousin Yuan once said, my brother doesn't care about anything as soon as he reads the book.

Spring is coming soon, and she can't rest assured that she can rely on the rough Chongjiu to take care of her brother alone.

And she didn't want to see Cousin Yuan's smile for the time being.

The sweeter the smile, the more she felt sorry for her brother.

It's better to take a break for a while.

She took Fu Shaoyun's arm and said, "Brother, I understand all these truths, after you become the champion, I will go and pester Cousin Yuan every day and ask her to find me a good home." ”

Fu Shaoyun was a little surprised, the swallow has always been timid, and the skin is even thinner.

I don't know when I dared to say such a thing.

I think it was also influenced by Cousin Yuan.

Cousin Yuan has such a ability, and she unknowingly infected all the people around her......

Sun Yan saw that her brother was in a daze again, and secretly decided not to take the initiative to mention Cousin Yuan in the future.

If this continues, when will my brother be able to calm the pain in his heart and find himself a good sister-in-law who is not inferior to Cousin Yuan.

Of course, at present, she has not found any girl who can compare to Cousin Yuan.

She had no choice but to continue the previous topic: "Brother, I just asked you to guess what we are going to eat at noon today, and you haven't answered yet!"

Fu Shaoyun came back to his senses and said with a dumb smile: "On such a cold day, what delicious food can you find." ”

Sun Yan simply didn't want him to guess, and said with a smile: "Guo Zhuangtou slaughtered a sheep early this morning, let's eat a meal of mutton dumplings at noon, and eat mutton pot for dinner, it's warm and fragrant, brother, do you like it?"

Fu Shaoyun was infected by her smile, and her mood brightened a lot, and she said very happily: "I like it, of course I like it, let's go eat dumplings." ”

On a cold winter day, steaming mutton dumplings warm people physically and mentally.

Sun Yan eats very little, and after a few bites, she can't eat anymore.

She looked at Fu Shaoyun with her cheeks up, and her handsome brother looked as good as a painting when he used his meal.

"Brother, what are your plans in the future? She asked coldly.

Fu Shaoyun said: "What do you mean?"

Sun Yan pursed her lips and said, "Brother, you said in the past that you wanted to enter the Hanlin Academy the most, do you still want to do it now?"

Fu Shaoyun took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, it seems that what he said with Chongjiu a few days ago was heard by Yanzi.

Hanlin Academy is undoubtedly the most desirable place for scholars, and Uncle Yuan also stayed in Hanlin Academy in the past, so he is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

But now his mind has changed a little.

The capital is a place of right and wrong, and he doesn't like it.

Moreover, the reason why Uncle Yuan has such a broad vision and such a great ability is directly related to his more than ten years of exile.

Only by understanding the people's livelihood and suffering can we do more things and shoulder greater responsibilities in the future.

So, he also wanted to......

It's just that I haven't considered whether to go through a few years of training in the Hanlin Academy before asking for release, or whether to ask for release directly.

After all, his situation is very different from Uncle Yuan's.

If you leave Beijing rashly, your family will definitely not agree, and it is difficult to say whether you can come back after leaving.

He chuckled and said: "The spring festival hasn't started yet, whether my brother can be admitted to the Jinshi or not, why do you want to do so much now." ”

Sun Yan also smiled, in her heart, her brother is the best, he can't pass the test, can anyone pass the test!) )
