Chapter Ninety-Nine: Keeping the New Year (Second Watch)

An Ruojin brought the flower rope, and a group of sisters gathered around and played wildly.

Only An Ruoxian stayed by Meng's side and refused to move a step.

"Xian'er go play with your sisters and sisters, your mother is watching you right here." Thinking that An Ruoxian was afraid of life, Meng had persuaded her several times.

An Ruoxian was unmoved, only clinging to Meng Shi and not speaking, showing a shy and timid look.

Meng's dependence on her was both touched and helpless, so he had to let her follow her.

It's not that An Ruoxian doesn't want to play with the sisters in the house, but she knows very well that as long as An Ruolan and the four of them are there, the other sisters won't take care of her.

Originally, she also planned to provoke the concubines in the mansion to deal with An Ruolan and her four concubines, but she didn't expect that the relationship between those concubines and An Ruolan and them was actually good, which made her hate her teeth itching, and she could only blame those concubines for having no ambition in her heart.

An Ruoxian also had no choice but to stick to Meng's all the time.

Her idea was that since she couldn't rebel against her concubine, she had to continue to please her mother.

It's a pity that An Shiyan doesn't like her "shy and timid" style.

Seeing that An Ruoxian had been sticking to Meng's side and refusing to move, An Shiyan said sharply: "My sisters and sisters are all playing together, but you have been relying on your mother's side, what do you look like?" ”

An Ruoxian was angry, and immediately cursed in her heart when she heard the words, but her face was pitifully red, and she was even closer to Meng.

Seeing this, Meng Shi hurriedly persuaded softly: "Fifth master, Xian'er is still young, and she is a newcomer, and she is not familiar with everyone, so it is inevitable that she will be shy and frightened......

"It's because you're not familiar with each other that you have more contact with everyone, and you can't get used to her." An Shiyan frowned, interrupted without waiting for Meng Shi to finish speaking, and said: "Five years old is not too young, Lan'er has already practiced and read by herself when she was five years old. ”

Being interrupted in front of so many people, Meng Shi felt embarrassed for a while, and immediately burst into tears, and retorted: "Lan'er wants to study and practice calligraphy at the age of five, that's her business, no one forced her, and it has nothing to do with Xian'er, what if I just want to get used to Xian'er?" When Xian'er grew up, she also said that I don't love her, don't spoil her, and don't listen to me! ”

"You ......" didn't expect her to be so unreasonable, and An Shiyan didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Meng Shi wanted to say more, but Murong Shi "bang", put the tea cup on the table, and said coldly: "If you want to make a noise, don't pollute everyone's ears here!" ”

Murong was already dissatisfied with Meng in her heart, and now that she saw that Meng was unreasonable and insinuated against An Ruolan, she naturally couldn't help but get angry.

As the saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, now that the old marquis and the old lady are not present, everything is naturally decided by the husband and wife of the big house.

Meng Shi didn't feel that he was wrong, but sobbed and asked, "Why is my sister-in-law angry, am I wrong?" ”

Hearing Meng's aggrieved tone, the third lady was about to speak, but was quickly stopped by An Sanye.

The second lady was also very annoyed, but she could still control her feelings.

Only the fourth lady was a little worried about Meng, but she had always been weak, and she didn't dare to stand up and speak for Meng's at this time.

Murong Shi was really angry, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, and then said with a smile: "Didn't the fifth aunt put the phrase 'marrying and obeying the husband, the husband is the sky, and you can't disobey' all day long, why did you hit the fifth uncle today, but you don't know what is wrong?" ”

Before An Sanye and the third lady argued, the Meng family said such a thing, and the Murong family still remembers it vividly, and this will be taken out to block the Meng family, which can be said to be easy. When the second lady and the third lady heard this, they all felt that this was absolutely unacceptable.

"I ...... I ......" Meng Shi was really blocked and couldn't speak, and he could only spit out such a word when he opened his mouth, but he shed a lot of tears.

An Ruoxian didn't expect things to develop like this, and she couldn't help but be a little panicked, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to hide in Meng Shi's arms and try to reduce her sense of survival.

Meng Shi thought that An Ruoxian was silently comforting and supporting him, and suddenly tears flowed even more fiercely.

An Shiyan's brothers all knew that Meng Shi's crying problem was so that when they saw this scene, they not only did not feel the slightest pity, but felt troubled. Especially An Sanye, he was extremely disgusted with the Meng clan now, and immediately turned his head away.

An Shiyan was embarrassed and at a loss.

The appearance of his wife Pear Blossom with rain is very beautiful and pitiful, but in such a scene now, he has no heart to comfort him. The brothers are here, the nephews and nieces are also here, if they continue to make trouble like this, where will their husband and wife still have the face to meet in the future?

But if he really wanted him to scold Meng Shi and tell her not to cry, he was reluctant.

Tangled, An Shiyan could only sit upright with a stiff expression.

It was a group of girls who were having a good time, and they didn't notice the movement here at all.

In the end, it was An Shiting, the elder brother, who opened his mouth and said: "My younger brother and sister are feeling a little unwell, the fifth brother, you can send your younger brother and sister back to the room to rest, there is still some time before the ancestor worship." ”

An Shiting also had to speak, after all, it was his wife who made the five brothers and sisters cry.

However, he didn't think that his wife had anything wrong, but felt that his wife, who had become gentle and stable in the past, had a special charm.

Meng Shi naturally couldn't know An Shiting's thoughts, and when he heard him speak, he thought that he was biased towards himself, so Ying Yingfu thanked him, paused, and said: "Sister-in-law's lesson is reasonable, but her words are excessive, and I hope that my brother will not blame my sister-in-law." ”

Hearing this, Murong and the second and third ladies couldn't help but sneer in their hearts.

An Shiting nodded perfunctorily, he didn't mean to blame his wife, he didn't take Meng Shi's words to heart at all, and only asked An Shiyan to send Meng back to the room quickly.

An Ruoxian excused herself to go back to take care of Meng Shi and left with her.

An Shiyan sent Meng Shi back to Xinyue Garden, and he explained and comforted him without mentioning it.

After sitting for a while, a group of children began to get sleepy, and the younger ones had already dozed off on the table.

Immediately, many people who couldn't hold it got up to say goodbye, and were escorted back to the room by the grandmothers and maids who were waiting around them, only An Ruolan's four sisters were still in good spirits, busy arguing with a few brothers.

An Shiting said to Murong again: "You and your brothers and sisters should also go back and rest, there is no need to serve here." ”

Murong didn't shirk either, and said with his head bowed: "Okay, let's go back first." ”

As he spoke, he stood up, and the other ladies followed suit.

Murong greeted An Ruojin's four sisters: "It's not early, hurry back to the room to rest, don't doze off when you worship your ancestors." ”

"Auntie, we're still in good spirits, we can't sleep." An Ruoke grinned.

"You girl, this will be in good spirits, and you will be sleepy in a while, be obedient, and go back to rest with your mother." The third lady came over and grabbed An Ruoke.

"No, I still want to play!" An Ruoke didn't follow, and pulled An Ruojin and didn't let go.

"Third aunt, let Sister Ke come to my room to rest, and I will be responsible for getting her up then." An Ruojin smiled and pleaded for An Ruoke.

"Then I'm going to go to Sister Lan's room to rest." An Ruoyan concocted the same method, hugged An Ruolan and did not let go, looking at her mother expectantly. The second lady was softened by her little eyes, and nodded again and again.

The third lady saw that the second lady nodded, so she had to agree.

"Oh!" An Ruoke cheered, laughing like a mouse stealing oil.

Sitting on the sidelines, the young masters who took this situation into their eyes were all amused.

An Wenqi sighed listlessly: "After a while, my sisters are gone, it's not interesting, I want to go back to the room." ”

An Shiting's eldest son, that is, An Ruojin's brother-in-law An Wensheng smiled and said: "What you said makes people angry, how many of our brothers are so disgusted with you?" ”

"It's not annoying, it's just not interesting." An Wenqi grinned.

"Looking for a fight!" An Wensheng directly gave him a violent shudder.

"It's time to fight." Second Master An didn't sympathize with his son at all, and glared at him and reprimanded.

An Wenqi suddenly froze, shrunk his neck and didn't dare to hum anymore.

Before leaving, the second brother could still be seen being trained, and the four sisters An Ruolan expressed their joy to see it, and left the front hall with a grin.

When An Shiyan came back from Xinyue Garden, only the four brothers An Shiting were left in the front hall, and even the three eldest young masters in the house were gone.

An Shiyan was surprised to find that the brothers were actually drinking.

"The fifth is back, sit down." An Shiting greeted his youngest brother.

An Shiyan answered, walked to his place and sat down, An Shiting personally poured him a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Our brothers may not have gathered in a serious way for a long time, so let's take this opportunity to drink and talk about our hearts." ”

An Shiyan raised his hand to hold the wine glass and said with a smile: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The five brothers had a drink together.

An Shiyan was depressed in his heart, and unconsciously drank two more glasses, An Shiting saw that he was about to get drunk, and was worried that he would make a mistake, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to cook a decanting soup and send it over, and the five brothers each drank a big bowl, and they didn't dare to drink anymore, so they replaced the wine with tea, chattering and chatting.

At this time, in the east courtyard of Yirong Garden, An Ruojin's four sisters all crowded into An Ruojin's room.

After being served by their respective nurses and freshened up, the four of them climbed onto the kang together, nestled into the quilt, and began to talk without a match.

"I don't think my mother loves me much." This is what An Ruoyan said.

She was sensible and early on, because she remembered that her mother always circled around her two brothers and didn't care much about her.

"Hmm......" An Ruoke was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, not knowing how to answer, because she also felt that Erniang didn't care much about Sister Yan.

An Ruojin slapped An Ruoke's moving hand and tucked the quilt that was leaking, and then said: "That was before, I can see that Erniang is more and more concerned about you these days." ”

"Yes, I can see it too, you see, as soon as you opened your mouth, Erniang promised you." An Ruolan also said.

"Yes, yes, my mother also trained me!" An Ruoke finally found comforting words.

"You have itchy skin, you deserve to be trained." An Ruojin said with a smile, and An Ruoke immediately pursed her lips.

An Ruoyan was amused and said, "I feel it too, but I hope it's not a whim of my mother." ”

Hearing the uneasiness in her words, An Ruojin and An Ruolan hurriedly comforted her, An Ruoke gaged next to her, and the three of them made An Ruoyan happy.

As he spoke, the four of them fell asleep, muttering and falling asleep, and the nurses who were guarding the outside heard that there was no movement inside, lifted the curtain and looked at it, and saw that the four of them were sleeping together, and they all laughed. R1152
