The stars were dotting outside the window, the night was deep, and An Wenjun was still reading at night.

The eldest girl Bitao pushed the door in, held the tray in her hand, and said, "Young Master, Miss Ten asked someone to send supper." ”

"Let it go." An Wenjun did not raise his head.

In the past few days, An Ruoxian always asks people to send things over, or food, or utensils, or playing with objects, and the meaning of showing favor is very obvious.

An Wenjun didn't know what this different sister wanted to do, so he cautiously waited to see what happened.

Bi Tao put the delicate and fragrant wontons on the bookcase, hesitated, and said, "Young master, it's not early, it's time to rest." ”

"Wait until I'm done with this volume." An Wenjun waved his hand and motioned for her to step back.

Bi Tao didn't understand that the third young master was already a jinshi at a young age, so why he had to work so hard.

She has seen it in her eyes all these years, this young master who was only taken back to the Hou Mansion in his teens, has to work harder than anyone else, but when the old Hou Ye praises him, he is more indifferent than anyone else.

is not arrogant or impatient, modest and motivated, not discouraged by the low looks and ridicule of others, compared to Miss Ten, who can only beg the fifth lady for protection, the third young master is much better. Although the third young master's talent is not as good as that of the fourth young master, she believes that one day the third young master will be able to survive the clumsiness.

Sometimes, Bi Tao even felt a little sorry for such a third young master.

Seeing that he was indifferent and still staring at the book intently, Bi Tao had no choice but to move out of the Xue family and said, "My aunt has repeatedly told the slave and maid to let the slave and maid take good care of the young master, and the young master will not make the slave and maid embarrassed." ”

An Wenjun sighed helplessly, so he had to accept the book and said, "Okay." ”

Bi Tao smiled happily and moved the wonton in front of him, but An Wenjun waved his hand, "I'm not hungry, you can eat it." As he spoke, he straightened his shirt and stood up.

Bi Tao thanked her happily, remembered something, and said, "Young master, you may not have visited your aunt for a long time, can you go to see it tomorrow?" ”

"Hmm." An Wenjun responded, and said as he walked into the room: "Mother has not even felt comfortable for the past two days, and when I go to ask my mother for peace tomorrow, I will stop by to visit my aunt." ”

Bi Tao's eyes were slightly dark, the third young master was too restrained, in order to avoid gossip, he was very restrained and cautious even when he saw his own mother.

An Wenjun took off his robe and hung it up, waved his hand to Bi Tao, who was still stunned, and said, "You can also go down and rest." ”

Bi Tao hurriedly replied, and retreated with a little regret.

The room was quiet, An Wenjun sighed silently and put down the green gauze tent.

At dawn, An Wenjun got up, the weather was very cool in the early morning, he read the book as usual, and then set off to greet Meng.

After returning from the palace, Meng and An Shiyan had a cold war, An Shiyan did not change, he still went to work in the court every day, and rested in the study at night, but the Meng family, who had a temper first, was depressed and irritable every day, but he couldn't pull his head down and bowed his head, so he could only find Xue's grievances.

When An Wenjun arrived at Xinyue Garden, Meng's had only gotten up for a short time, and Xue had already been called to talk to her to vent, and when she heard that An Wenjun came to ask for An, Xue was very happy, but Meng waved his hand and said: "Tell the third young master to go back, just say that I have received his filial piety, and I have been unwell recently, so it is inconvenient to see him." ”

Hearing this, Xue's face changed.

Xia He, who came in to report, saw it, paused, and said, "Madam, Aunt Xue may not have seen the third young master for a long time, you can meet the third young master today, even if it is Aunt Xue." ”

In the past few years, the Xue family has worked hard in front of the Meng family, and there has been no other action, even if he is as loyal as Xia He, he was moved by her, and now he is very close to her.

When Meng Shi heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Xue Shi worriedly, and after hesitating for a while, he pleaded guilty to Xue's family: "Rou Niang, your mother and son have time to meet, you can accompany me today, I am really heartbroken by the fifth master......"

He began to sob again.

Hearing this, Xia He frowned slightly.

She knows that the third young master has a restrained personality, except for asking his wife to say goodbye, he basically doesn't set foot in the backyard on weekdays, and every time he goes to the backyard, he leaves immediately after asking his wife to say goodbye, and it can be said that the number of times she has met Aunt Xue is only a handful.

Moreover, Aunt Xue has been accompanying Madame for the past few days.

Even Xia He felt that Meng's request was too selfish and unreasonable.

Xue's heart was naturally cold, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only force a smile, patted Meng Shi and comforted: "Madame, don't be sad, the concubine has always been with you." ”

"Really?" Meng immediately burst into tears and laughed, like an innocent and innocent child, he took Xue's hand affectionately and said gratefully: "Rou Niang, you are in my heart, just like my own sister, you are so good to me!" ”

"Madame is the same in the heart of the concubine." Xue's smile stiffened.

Looking at this scene, Xia He sighed silently.

"Madam, the fourth young master is here."

As she was talking, the eldest girl Qiu Ju came in to report, and when she heard this, Meng's eyes lit up, and she said in a loud voice: "Hurry up and invite Brother Yan in!" ”

Xue half-lowered his eyes to cover the coldness under his eyes.

An Wenyan is now sixteen, and the handsome young man who was respectful and polite has grown into a handsome gentleman, and his gestures are elegant and gentle, and he is another noble son in Shengjing who makes the girls in the boudoir dream.

When he entered the door, without waiting for An Wenyan to salute, Meng Shi eagerly called him to his side, took his hand and said angrily: "You finally remember to come to see your mother!" ”

An Wenyan apologized, "Please forgive my mother, my son only heard that his mother was ill last night, and it was too late." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you just won the champion, it's the time to be busy, how can your mother blame you." Meng Shi smiled, his eyes were full of pride.

Xue endured the unwillingness to be jealous in his heart, and echoed with a smile: "Yes, the fourth young master is a young talent, and this time he can earn a lot of face for our Hou Mansion." ”

The smile on Meng's face deepened.

An Wenyan smiled faintly, and then asked suspiciously: "I saw that the third brother was outside, did he also come to give it to his mother?" Why don't you come in? ”

Meng Shi's smile stiffened, and said: "Your third brother came to see me, but I thought that he was bored here alone, so I wanted him to go back first, but now it's okay, you are here, and you don't have to worry about him being bored and panicking with me alone." ”

He laughed dryly, and she said to Xia He: "Go and invite the third young master to come in." ”

Seeing this, An Wenyan understood something.

Xia He was about to respond, but An Wenyan stopped her and said, "No need, I want to talk to my mother about myself, let the third brother go back first." ”

He bowed his hand to the Xue family and said, "It's rude, please ask my aunt to avoid it for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Meng Shi said generously and kindly: "It's just right, since Brother Yan has something to say, Rou Niang, you should go and get together with Wen Jun first." ”

Although he was eager to meet his son, Meng's backsliding and capricious attitude still made the Xue family dissatisfied, clenched his five fingers and endured the anger in his heart, and Xue said: "In this case, the concubine will not disturb the lady and the fourth young master." ”

After that, the Xue family retreated with Xia He Qiuju.

An Wenjun was still waiting outside the door to report, and when he saw the Xue family coming out, he was busy greeting him, and said in surprise: "Auntie, why did you come out?" ”

"The fourth young master said that he wanted to talk to his wife, so he let me come out first." Xue tried his best to calm his tone, because Xia He was still beside him.

An Wenjun is not a stupid person, he immediately understood when he heard this, and said with a smile: "The fourth brother wants us to get together." ”

How could Xia He not see that her Xue clan was forbearing, smiled, and said, "The third young master and the aunt should talk slowly, and the slaves and maids will retreat first." "Blessed body, leave with Qiu Ju.

As soon as the person left, Xue no longer concealed his feelings, and said, "Wen Jun, come with me." ”

An Wenjun nodded and followed her to the lotus pond on the east side of Xinyue Garden.

I haven't seen him for a long time, Xue Shi looked at An Wenjun very much, and saw that he was still thin, so he couldn't help but say angrily: "You must have failed to take good care of yourself, you have already won the Jinshi, don't work so hard anymore." ”

She is also helpless, others are persuading their children to read more, only she is persuading them to read less, it is really An Wenjun who is too hard.

"Now is more important than reading a book when you should think about your life's events." The Xue family hates that iron does not make steel.

An Wenjun smiled and said: "Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, although I am now a Jinshi, but I still don't understand a lot of knowledge, I want to broaden my horizons and knowledge more, so that I can have a great future." ”

Hearing this, Xue's eyes were red, she knew that her son worked so hard for herself, and her son was more intimate than her daughter who always revolved around Meng's.

Pressing the corner of her eye, she glanced around vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Mother knows that you have great ambitions, don't worry, your mother will help you." Right now, the Meng clan is dying by himself, and he is in a cold war with the fifth master, this is my good opportunity, when I break the Meng clan, you can ......"

Without waiting for her to finish, An Wenjun held her hand and said, "Mother, it doesn't matter to me whether I am a sister-in-law or not, rather than intrigue every day, I prefer to study and study, and seek a future on my own." Don't worry, when I have a big career after X and can seal the official mansion, I will take you out of the Hou Mansion and let you be the old feudal king, and our mother and son will live by themselves. ”

Xue Shi was moved, and the light of yearning appeared in his eyes.

She bowed her head again and again, but she was still a little worried, and said, "But your uncle ...... them."

"I will rely on my own strength to revitalize the Xue family." An Wenjun is full of ambition.

"Okay." Xue nodded with tears in his eyes, proud and proud.

After An Ruolan silently retreated to the rockery, she waited until the previous voice disappeared before she came out again, looking at the back of An Wenjun and Xue's walking away, she smiled sincerely.

"Miss, Miss!" There was an anxious call from Bailing behind him, An Ruolan turned his head and glared at her, and said angrily: "What's going on, what's going on?" ”

Fortunately, An Wenjun and Xue have already gone away, otherwise she would be embarrassed.

Bai Ling ran to her panting, panting and said aggrievedly: "If I hadn't been in a hurry to tell you the good news, I wouldn't have worked so hard, and I would be kind to the liver and lungs of a donkey." ”

An Ruolan couldn't help laughing, took her hand and smiled: "Okay, what's the good thing?" ”

Bai Ling snorted twice, deflated, and regained his previous grinning temperament, and said happily: "Just now, someone from Qianxunju came to say that the fourth master has returned to Beijing!" ”

"Really?!" An Ruolan's eyes lit up, and he immediately cheered, threw off Bailing and ran out.

"And me." Bai Ling snorted, chased after him and shouted, "Miss, have you already been to see the Fifth Lady?!" ”

Where does An Ruolan still pay attention to her. R1152
