"You know that the northwest is difficult and dangerous, you know that this is a thankless job, you know that I will worry about you, you are worried about you, why do you still want to go? Wouldn't it be good to stay in the Hou Mansion safely?! ”

Meng Shi cried so much that his liver and intestines were broken, his autumn-like eyes were stained with mist, and his pear blossom and rainy face were extremely pitiful.

An Shiyan couldn't bear it, but he didn't back down.

If he doesn't grasp this opportunity and make some achievements, there will be no place for him to stand in the court, and more importantly, he wants to do his part for the people in the northwest.

It's not that he can't understand his wife's worries and care, but how can he give up this great opportunity willingly?

Sighing silently, An Shiyan said with a little bitterness: "The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, I just want to do what I should do, what's wrong?" No matter how bitter it is, can it survive the people affected by the disaster in the northwest? ”

He clenched his fists, "I don't want to do nothing anymore, this is my chance to develop and show my ambitions." ”

For his beloved wife, he never concealed his "ambition", but he always knew him and understood his wife, why did he stop him again and again now?

Meng Shi didn't care what he thought at all, he just kept crying and shaking his head, shouting: "I don't care, I don't care!" If you want to fulfill your ambitions, you can let your father and brother help you, and there is no need to run and suffer! ”

Say anything, she won't let him go either!

An Shiyan was shocked, and looked at his wife who was shouting and making trouble in disappointment, what was gradually crumbling in his heart, he closed his eyes in pain, and laughed at himself.

Originally. His wife has never understood him, and those so-called sympathy and heart-to-heart communication are all fake.

The nails sank into the palms, An Shiyan's jaw tightened, his eyes turned red, and he yelled in grief and anger: "Yuxia." I'm a man. I also have dignity, I am not an incompetent person who can only rely on my father-in-law and uncle, I have always thought. You know me! ”

Meng Shi was stunned by his sudden outburst, tears welling up in his eyes, and his eyes were full of panic.

"I ...... I ......" she wandered her gaze weakly, not knowing how to explain it. The silk handkerchief in his hand was twisted together, and cold sweat oozed from his palms even more nervously and anxiously.

Looking at her husband, she is no longer handsome and elegant. With a somewhat hideous and terrifying face, she kept pushing back in fear until there was no way to retreat. Press your chest, which is beating wildly with fear, and breathe heavily to calm yourself down.

Slightly drooping eyelids. Covering the thick panic and weakness in his eyes, Meng Shi trembled and cried out.

Ahn Se-yeon's anger was interrupted. Gradually, sanity returned.

"Got you? If you're gone, I know what's the use of you? Meng smiled wryly and lifted his tear-stained delicate face. The lupine-like thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and the graceful silhouette fell on the pale and weak face, lining the moving face, which became more and more pitiful.

She half-turned around, leaving a beautiful and poignant side face to An Shiyan, and asked softly, "Lan'er left me, and now even you are leaving me?" ”

The whispered words dissipated into the air as soon as they came out, with endless desolation and sorrow, which made people feel sorry.

When the words fell, the crystal tears rolling down from the face were even more trembling.

The person in front of him was so pale, so fragile, he had sworn to wait for the person he loved all his life, but he made her cry sadly.

An Shiyan's face was full of guilt, and the anger in his heart because he was not understood was instantly replaced by reluctance and pity.

"Yuxia ......" He stepped forward and gently hugged his wife into his arms, sighed, as if he was afraid of scaring the person in his arms, and explained in a low voice: "Fang is not right, I shouldn't be angry, I just ...... I just want to prove my ability, and I don't want to rely on my father-in-law and uncle anymore. ”

He didn't want to hear the voices behind his back that mocked him for his incompetence and that he could only rely on his mother's family.

Meng Shi sobbed low in his arms, regaining her previous understanding and supple consideration, she choked up and said: "I know that you have your own ambitions and want to contribute to the country and the people, but how can I bear to see you suffer and suffer?" I don't understand the intrigues of the previous dynasty, but I know how dangerous and arduous this trip to the northwest is, and I can't rest assured of you. ”

"I often think about how good it would be if we were born in an ordinary family, you plough the land and I weave cloth, even if the life is hard, it is better than in this high-gate compound full of conspiracy and calculation, and no one really knows the cold and the hot."

"I've lost Lan'er, I can't lose you again, you know?"

At this, she choked up and couldn't speak.

An Shi slowly closed his eyes, and the struggle under his eyes intensified.

Whether it was An Shiting or An Shiyan, whether they had made a decision or were hesitating, after discussing with their wives, the two brothers went to Mrs. An's courtyard to ask what their mother meant.

Mrs. An looked at the expressions of the two brothers, and listened to the tone and words of the two, and knew the decision in their hearts, she did not express any opinion, but said: "No matter what decision you make, mother will support it." ”

After the two brothers left, the old lady said to Mama Song, and Mama Song was dissatisfied: "The fifth lady is really not good, she always talks about the sixth lady, and the fifth master is soft-hearted and believes her coaxing." ”

Hearing this, the old lady chuckled and sighed helplessly: "The fifth child is soft-hearted and soft-eared, it can only be said that he is completely pinched by the Meng family, and no matter what his future is in the future, he can't complain about others." ”

"The old lady is serious, and the fifth master is also carefully taught by the old lady, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future." Mama Song hurriedly smiled.

The old lady took a sip of tea, but smiled silently.

Mama Song said again: "The fifth lady is indeed out of character this time, how can there be a woman who prevents the man's family from doing great things?" As he spoke, he peeked at the old lady's face.

The old lady's face sank, and she snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the sake of Meng Guofu, the fifth lady in our house would have been replaced a long time ago." ”

Mama Song lowered her head and bowed her head, the words behind this were not something she could answer.

After a few more gossips, the old lady asked, "How is the situation on the other side of the big house?" ”

Mama Song replied respectfully while adding tea to her: "The matter of the second miss's side, Mrs. Shizi asked the second miss to deal with it by herself, and now the second miss sent Huiqing to stare at the lotus fragrance garden, thinking that she already has a clue, as for the eldest young master, there is no progress yet, the maid named Tongque is still unwilling to spit out the real murderer behind her, and only agrees to cooperate with the acting, the slave guesses that she may have a handle in the hands of the main messenger." ”

The old lady listened intently, and suddenly raised her hand to interrupt Mama Song's words, and said, "You let people check on the maid's family." ”

Mama Song understood, and said with her head bowed: "Slave, let people investigate carefully." ”

"After finding out, I will directly report to the eldest young master, the matter in his room, let him handle it by himself, he can't be inferior to his sister." The old lady said.

Mama Song didn't respond immediately, but frowned and worried: "Seeing that the autumn season is imminent, if it divides the heart of the eldest young master because of this, it will not be beautiful." And the Hou Ye's side ......"

The rest of the words were not spoken, but the meaning was conveyed.

The old lady couldn't say anything: "I haven't listened to how hard the prince of Jin has worked, isn't it that he entered the imperial examination at a young age?" Reading a lot, but also refined, blindly dead reading is not very useful, after memorizing books for so long, it is time to use your brain. As for Hou Ye's side, who will chew this tongue? ”

Mama Song bowed her head and said yes, and said with a smile: "Our eldest young master is the smartest, such a trivial matter is not a problem, and the slave and maid will take care of it." ”

The old lady smiled and bowed her head in satisfaction.

The emperor gave the courtiers two days to think, but in less than two days, someone stood up, and this person was Zhou Yuhan, who was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhou Yuhan discussed with his father Zhou Ge, and both father and son thought that this was a good time to accumulate merit for entering the cabinet in the future.

The emperor had a very close relationship with Zhou Yuhan in private, and now when he saw him asking for his life for the people, he praised him and rewarded him innumerably.

The courtiers looked hot, but no one dared to follow Zhou Yuhan's example, An Shiting intended to ask for his life, but Wen Xinhou repeatedly raised his face and ordered him not to be a head bird, as a last resort, he could only hope that the emperor would appoint him, only in this way could he justifiably disobey his father's wishes.

An Shiyan also had the same thought.

However, An Shiting had the bottom in his heart, and he had already made up his mind that he was not doing nothing.

After going down, An Shiting quietly asked Zhou Yuhan for morning tea, and euphemistically expressed his desire to go to the northwest together, hoping that Zhou Yuhan could help him say a few good words in front of Jinshang.

Zhou Yuhan is very clear about Wenxin Hou Mingzhe's way of life, but this does not prevent him from promoting talents for the country, to be honest, he prefers to pull his brother-in-law An Shiyan, but unfortunately An Shiyan did not show his heart to him.

Now An Shiting came to the door, although he was surprised, he was also willing to help.

Leave three points to speak, Zhou Yuhan did not give permission to speak, only said that he would try his best to speak to His Majesty.

In this way, An Shiting is very grateful.

So on the second day, the emperor appointed Wei Guogong, Zhou Yuhan, and An Shiting as the northwest patrol envoys, and went to the northwest three days later to investigate the disaster relief.

In addition, Zhou Yuhan also recommended the prince of Jin, the eldest son of the prince of Meng Guofu, and the prince of Zhennan, and asked the emperor to allow the three to accompany him. The Emperor played on the go-to-be.

When the holy decree reached the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, An Shiting's trip to the northwest was already an ironclad matter, and the old marquis could only nod and let go.

Murong dressed up for An Shiting, but An Shiyan regretted not mentioning it.

An Ruolan heard the news that her heir was going to the northwest, but fortunately she was surprised for a while, she clearly remembered that it was her biological father who went to the northwest in her previous life, why did she become her heir father now?

In the previous life, after An Ruoxian's brothers and sisters were taken back to the Hou Mansion, their biological father has been depressed and often impeached, but it is this trip to the northwest that completely reversed the situation, turned decay into magic, and made the biological father's career smooth.

Although she has left the fifth room, she can only call An Shiyan the fifth uncle in the future, An Ruolan still can't help but worry about him, she asked people to inquire about the news, when she learned that it was Meng who used her as an excuse to prevent An Shiyan from going to the northwest, she suddenly brightened up, and decided not to worry about the idle affairs of the fifth room.
