36.Chapter 36: Mid-Autumn Festival
Mrs. Zhao looked at him quietly, her eyes were calm and compassionate, she knew what was going on with this grandson, and it was also something she was happy to see, the Zhao family had its own rules of survival, the eldest daughter, married to a capable minister, she could let it go, only the young daughter, who was raised by herself to be proud but simple, and married to the declining Ruan family, so what she was thinking about was hoping to help the young daughter arrange the future of several granddaughters. Of course, she hopes that they can marry another one and return to the Zhao family.
Zhao Chengyi saw that the old lady looked at him silently, so he continued: "Grandfather wants his grandson to enter the Royal Academy, but his grandson wants to enter Jinhua Academy. ”
Old Madam Zhao was stunned, she thought that this grandson had heard that An Jin was going to enter the palace, so she came to beg her to bypass his mother to betrothal them, but she didn't expect that he didn't want to enter the Royal Academy, but wanted to enter Jinhua Academy!
"Why? Your grandfather let you enter the Royal Academy for your future, and the children of the Royal Academy will be the pillars of my dynasty in the future. Jinhua Academy, although it has a wide reputation, is not the place where the children of the Zhao family should go. Old Madam Zhao stared at Zhao Chengyi and said slowly.
"I want to learn from Lin Valley." Zhao Chengyi said succinctly.
Old Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked straight at Zhao Chengyi. Lin Gu, the descendant of the Lin family, the famous general of the previous dynasty, the Zhao family, the Lin family did not follow the ancestor emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, but unloaded the armor and hid in the mountains and forests. When Jinhua Academy opened, the descendants of the Lin family were invited to teach the art of war and martial arts, but what they taught was actually mediocre.
Mrs. Zhao has been married into the Zhao family for decades, and she naturally knows most of the secrets of the Zhao family.
"Why don't you just mention it to your grandfather?" Old Madam Zhao asked. After asking, I felt that I shouldn't ask, the Zhao family's family has been cautious for generations, and they have avoided having too much contact with the widows of the old ministers of the previous dynasty, so that so many generations can protect the Zhao family from being suspected by the royal family. Jinhua Academy is the most descendant of the remnants of the former dynasty, and I am afraid that the grandfather of the country may not be willing to agree.
"You go down first, and I'll talk to your grandfather." Old Madam Zhao looked at her little grandson's heavy eyes and said for a long time.
She looked at Zhao Chengyi's firm back and steady pace when he left, although he was still young, and she was both relieved and sad, it seemed that she still underestimated this grandson.
And Zhao Chengyi, who left at this time, said coldly in his heart, how could I ask for something that I couldn't ask for at all, back then, he didn't kneel and beg, he knelt for a day and a night, but his mother still set Zhuang Lingxi for him, forcing An Jin to leave Kyoto gloomily, and finally fell into other people's conspiracy calculations and died.
This time I'm going to strengthen myself and go straight to it.
Lin Gu, six years later, will be a famous general of the dynasty, leading troops to resist the joint attack of the countries of the Western Regions, and becoming famous in a war. The most important thing is that Lin Gu also has a supernatural martial arts. In his previous life, Lin Gu had taught him some tricks, but that was after he was fifteen years old, and his roots were already determined, and what he could learn was limited.
The days passed quickly, and within a few days it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Second Master Ruan returned to the Hou Mansion, and brought a young man who was eleven or twelve years old in a cyan robe and looked like a small green bamboo. As soon as the second master Ruan took him to appear, everyone's eyes fell on the little boy.
An Jin looked at the little boy and said in her heart, Dad, my mother won't just get pregnant, so you hurriedly brought back the illegitimate child, right?
"Madam, this is the son of an old friend of mine, named Su Wenhuan, because his family is far away, I took him back to my house for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will also introduce you to each other." Second Master Ruan explained with a smile as he looked at everyone's puzzled eyes. He said to Zhao again, "Madam, you clean up a guest room in the outer courtyard for Wen Huan, and he will often come to our house in the future." ”
Su Wenhuan listened to the words of Second Master Ruan, so he gave Zhao's luggage and said, "Boy Wenhuan has seen Madame." ”
"Sue?" Zhao seemed to think of something, and looked at Second Master Ruan with an inquiring gaze, Second Master Ruan nodded, Zhao was confirmed, his eyes changed from doubtful inquiry to faint pity, and said to the young man with a smile, "You are Wen Huan?" ”
The young man was stunned, and Zhao continued with a smile: "It's coming, let's live here." Your mother and I are also old acquaintances, you can call me aunt. After a pause, he added, "When you were a child, I was... I've seen you. "I guess I want to say hug in the middle, but the boy is old, so it's a bit inappropriate to say that.
"Aunt Ruan." When Su Wenhuan heard this, his eyes darkened, and he didn't twist, and he saluted Zhao again and changed his name.
Looking at the interaction between his father and mother, and then between his mother and the teenager, An Jin sighed secretly, her brain was scared to death.
"Sister Jin'er, haven't you always been curious about the life of the academy? My father hadn't been there for long, and his knowledge was limited. Wen Huan has lived in the academy for six years, and he is very familiar with all aspects, and you can ask Wen Huan for advice about the academy. After speaking, there was a look of pity on his face, "Originally, my father planned to take you to live in the academy for a while, but unfortunately, I heard that your mother is going to send you to the palace to accompany the concubine." ”
"Father, will you take me then? Or was my father going to take me there in the first place? Ruan Antong on the side listened, and his little face lit up. Although she has been working hard recently, in fact, she is really bored, An Jin can go to the palace, and it is good that she can go to Jinhua Academy to live.
But Second Master Ruan did not immediately agree, but showed a hesitant look on his face, Ruan Antong immediately noticed it, his mouth pursed, and a hurt look appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Second Master Ruan hurriedly comforted his daughter and said, "You are a big girl, if you go to the academy, your father will have to discuss it with your mother, as long as your mother agrees, it will be fine." "An Jin is nine years old, it's better to take it to the academy, eleven-year-old Ruan Antong, he is worried that his wife has other arrangements.
I don't know what the second master Ruan told the Zhao family, but the Zhao family agreed very lightly to let Ruan Antong go to the academy.
The Anjin sisters also quickly learned about Su Wenhuan's life experience from their mother, it turned out that Su Dad was from a Jiangnan surname, a famous talent in Jiangnan, and a student of Mr. Lin'an, and Ruan's father's best friend when he was young, so Zhao also indirectly became good friends with Su Ma. It's just that later the family changed, Su's father and Su mother died, and Su Wenhuan became an orphan. Fortunately, Su's father had already arranged and sent Su Wenhuan to Jinhua Academy early, so Su Wenhuan has taken Jinhua Academy as his home for so many years.
The Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony was also taken by Ruan Antan to assist the eldest lady Cui in taking care of it. The two rooms of the big house have not been separated, and the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts in previous years were mostly given to the Ruan Mansion. However, this year, many of them are indicated for second rooms.
Among them, the three princesses' gifts to the second room are still rich, not only that, but also a lot of gorgeous palace thick fabrics and new jewelry to Ruan Anzheng, and it was personally sent by the housekeeper of the third princess. The Mid-Autumn Festival is busy with affairs, especially the princess who has a lot of entertainment, and she actually sent her own right-hand man to send it in person, which shows the importance of it, and the meaning is self-evident.
When the old lady learned about it, she felt joy falling from the sky, and she couldn't suppress her joy in the face of the black-faced Zhao family and her granddaughters with a dignified face.
Who are the Three Princes? That's the only son of today's queen, the only sister-in-law today, it's a matter of time before the prince is established, and the third princess has no children, she is the cousin of the three girls, is willing to raise the three girls like this, and it is not a good future in the future? This is much better than the second prince, there is no comparison at all. Thinking of this, the old lady's eyes narrowed, she couldn't understand her daughter-in-law's brain hole at all, this kind of happy event was crying on a big festival? If she hadn't been pregnant, she wouldn't have beaten her up.
After the family banquet, the old lady still wanted to pull Ruan Anzheng sister to accompany her to enjoy the moon, An Jin decisively pretended to be sleepy, and said that she would leave home in two days, and she was uneasy, so she forced Ruan Anzheng to accompany her back to her yard. She doesn't even bother to pretend to the old lady now, and she is going to send her to Pulian'an, can it be worse?
The moonlight of the Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed very good, the white halo shrouds the blooming roses in the courtyard, and the surroundings are quiet, and there is a sense of tranquility that has been quiet for many years.
An Jin pulled Ruan Anzheng and didn't enter the house, but only sat on the swing in the yard and slowly swinged. Suddenly asked: "Third sister, does the concubine also have a swing there?" ”
Ruan Anzheng turned her head to look at An Jin, and there was a tranquility in her heart that she was hiding in the house in the storm and flipping through the book, she turned her gaze back, looked at the hazy courtyard wall in the moonlight, and said softly: "Yes, there are also two swings in the backyard, which are even more beautiful than this, decorated with silk flowers." The concubine will be replaced regularly. No one has ever used it, though. I heard that it was played by Princess Changhua when she was a child. ”
Ahn Geunmo, these are all sentimental topics.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Ruan Anzheng suddenly said: "Actually, since it's already like this, it doesn't matter, it's just that I hate the feeling of being forced." ”
An Jin said dryly: "Actually, there is still a so-called, against a guy with a fat brain, he will not be able to eat." ”
Ruan Anzheng said angrily: "Are you comforting people? ”
An Jin shook her head and whispered, "No, I mean, maybe there aren't many paths to choose from, maybe not so perfect, but you can try to make yourself not so uncomfortable." ”
Nguyen was silent, and a few seconds later suddenly jumped off the swing, walked in front of An Geun, and patted An Geun on the head. An Geun grabbed the rope of the swing with one hand, covered her head with the other, and glared, "Why are you hitting me?" ”
Ruan Anzheng smiled, and then said, "Didn't you say that at least I can try to make myself not so uncomfortable?" It's not just uncomfortable to hit me, it's just a good feeling, haha. ”
"Are you sick? What sister?! An Jin said angrily.
"People are big ghosts, let you teach me, haha." Ruan Anzheng patted the other side of An Jin's head again, and turned around with a smile and led Yahuan away.
An Jin stared at her straight back, and instantly felt tired.
An Geun continued to swing slowly and slowly, and she suddenly thought to herself, look, even if you swing the swing high, you think you can see a trace of the outside world, but in fact, what you see is just the courtyard of the Ruan Mansion outside your own yard.
She shook slowly, her eyes aimlessly tilted forward, and suddenly she stared at a big tree outside the courtyard as if she had seen a ghost, and her hand tightened the rope of the swing with some horror, and shouted, "Biluo! ”
