The old lady of the Wan family has a total of one son and two daughters under her knees, the eldest son Wan Jidao is now the Duke of Dingguo, the eldest daughter married into the Yan family and gave birth to the son Yan Huai, and the second daughter then married Yan Jing, the Duke of Chengguo, as a step-room, and gave birth to Yan Lin, the second son of Yan. The relationship between the Wan family and the Yan family should be very deep, but this is not the case.

Wan Jidao and Yan Jing were close friends in the past, but not long after the two families became in-laws, the friendship between the two gradually faded.

There are some things in the past that no one mentions anymore. When Yan Huai was a child, he would occasionally come to live in Wanjia, and when Mrs. Wan talked to him, she often inadvertently picked out some things that had been lost in the long river of time and told him for fun. It was only then that he learned that his uncle, who had never looked good, had been as good as his father.

According to Mrs. Wan Lao, these two people can wear the same pair of pants well.

However, the world is unpredictable, what caused these two people to turn against each other, and no one knows the truth except themselves. Yan Huai has always thought that her grandmother is also unknown. But years later, when he grew up, he recalled the past, but he couldn't help but feel that his grandmother not only knew, but also knew it very well and clearly.

But she was tight-lipped and never divulged half a word.

What she didn't want to say, no one could pry a little bit out of her mouth. Sometimes Yan Huai can't help but feel that his uncle's temper is very similar to that of his grandmother, and he is stubborn and abnormal. It's like the eldest uncle doesn't like him, so no matter how much he pleases, he still doesn't hide his dislike; On the contrary, his grandmother treated his grandson much more favorably than his own grandson. No matter what the people in the house talked about, how many cousins complained, she never changed.

- Things. Since when exactly did it start to change?

On the way to Wanjia, Yan Huai thought about it for a long time, but there was no answer in his heart.

Wanjia and Chengguo Mansion are in the same southern castle of Kyoto, not far away. He rode his horse, stepping on the water stains left on the ground after the snow melted, and walked to the door of Wanjiamen.

Counting his fingers, he hadn't stood here in a long time.

Zhumen in memory. It was still as neat as new, and when it caught his eye, it seemed to have long been mottled. With old stains, it makes people feel sad.

When the little guy guarding the door saw him, he was stunned at first, and then jumped up in fright. Running all the way to report inside. The other led his horse. Cautiously looking at his expression, he said, "The old lady has instructed that no matter when, as long as she sees you coming, she doesn't have to pass it on, and she can take you to see her at any time." ”

Yan Huai raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even so, the person who hurriedly ran away to report the news could not have returned to his grandmother.

He scoffed to himself. My uncle really thought about him, just like my grandmother. Keep an eye out for it at all times.

After a while, he went to see Mrs. Wan, but when he saw the curtain lifted, Mrs. Wan personally greeted her.

The old woman, who is about fifty years old, is well-maintained, her face is fair, her eyes are clear, and she can vaguely see her beautiful appearance when she was young. She wore a winter jacket embroidered with lotus blue embroidered Fushou pattern, walked out with a smile, looked at Yan Huai standing on the platform, and said, "I was thinking of you, but I happened to come!" ”

Yan Huai smiled faintly, took two steps forward to salute, and said hello to Mrs. Wan.

The smile on Mrs. Wan's cheeks became more and more obvious, and she looked back and said: "Serve tea and serve tea, quickly let people serve tea, take the jar of white tea and come out, the young master likes it." ”

He was not picky, but when he saw her again after returning to Beijing, he had a cup of tea here, and he praised the good tea, and it was difficult for her to remember it in his heart. The gloom in Yan Huai's heart slowly faded, and he waited for a few maids at the door to open the curtain cage, and personally stepped forward to hold Mrs. Wan and walked in slowly.

It was the New Year's Festival, and the people in the house were shocked to see him, but they all had a smile on their faces, just looking at it like this, which made people feel that it was difficult for thousands of families to stay.

A kang table is set up horizontally on the kang in the main room, and there is a medicine bowl on the table, and only half a mouthful of thick medicinal juice is left in the bowl, and the smell is strong. Mrs. Wan was helped by the maids to get on the kang and sat down on the half-worn plain satin backrest and pillow. Yan Huai sat down on the chair next to the edge of the kang. Mrs. Wan sent everyone out, leaving only a big girl with a thin figure, a long face, a silver and red jacket, and a white silk and blue satin pinched tooth and thin folded skirt to pour tea and water. When the tea was served, she smiled and was silent for a while, and then said, "Chunqin, you should go down first." ”

The maid named Chunqin answered, took the medicine bowl on the kang table, and retreated lightly.

Old Madam Wan turned her back and coughed lightly.

Yan Huai frowned, picked up the teacup and handed it over, served her to take a small sip to stop coughing, and then asked, "What is the disease?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal." Mrs. Wan took the teacup herself, smiled and shook her head, "Once this person is old, he is full of problems, and whenever there is a disturbance, he will inevitably have to take medicine." ”

Yan Huai was silent.

After the events of that year, the estrangement between him and Mrs. Wan Lao has not disappeared, and now they are sitting together, and there is still a knot between the two.

He said: "My grandmother should take good care of herself, a minor illness will eventually become a major illness if it is not cured, and it should not be taken lightly." ”

Once upon a time, the old woman in front of him was the most important light in his young and lonely life.

"Don't worry, there are so many people up and down the house, are you still afraid that no one will take care of me?" Mrs. Wan smiled, but never mentioned her son, "If you can come here, my grandmother will already be very comforted in her heart, and the little illness and pain on her body will be immediately better when she sees you." ”

As she spoke, she looked Yan Huai up and down carefully, and suddenly sighed and said, "I've lost a lot of weight." ”

Yan Huai's eyes flashed slightly.

Old Madam Wan sighed twice in succession, and said in an astringent tone: "You still know that you are worried about my old wife, but in the Chengguo Mansion, who is worried about you......" Xiao Wan's affairs, they all know it, of course Old Madam Wan will not mention it at such a time, she only asked, "I heard that your mother retired the family affair that you set for the Wen family back then?" ”

This matter has already spread in Beijing, and she naturally will not be unaware.

Yan Huai should be indifferent.

Mrs. Wan's face changed back and forth, staring at him tightly and asking, "But are you retiring?" ”

"Why do you say that?" Yan Huai was slightly surprised. The news in the market has always been that the Wen family took the initiative to retreat.

Old Madam Wan sneered and said, "The Wen family is just like that. You are my grandson, and I know how your character can be as unbearable as those gossip. Naturally, it can only be that you came to the door and quit your relatives, which provoked the Wen family, and they deliberately spread rumors to slander you. ”

Yan Huai's heart moved slightly, he didn't expect Mrs. Wan to think like this.

Old Madam Wan saw that although he was concerned about his body, he always seemed to be a little absent-minded when he spoke, and his eyes couldn't help but dim slightly.

It's all her fault.

After a moment of silence, she suddenly said to Yan Huai: "You are still the same as at that time, and you don't even have a maid who is close to you?" ”

Yan Huai was stunned, nodded yes, and before he could figure out how to explain the reason for this, he heard Mrs. Wan say solemnly: "You are also seventeen!" But there is not even a maid who is close to him, and it is not a joke to say it. Your family affairs, my grandmother is inconvenient to meddle, but you don't even have a person around you who knows cold and hot, so why can't I bear to look at this old woman? It will take you at least one or two years to get married, and at most three or five years before you get married, and you can't always be like this! There should be someone around you now. ”

Immediately, she asked him with a smile: "What do you think of the girl named Chunqin next to me?" ”

"She's steady, she's smart......"

"No need."

Before Mrs. Wan finished her compliment, Yan Huai interrupted her.

Mrs. Wan was surprised: "But you don't like it?" ”

Yan Huai explained: "My grandson is not used to having maidservants around him, and he has a little servant to take care of the trivial matters left and right. ”

Old Madam Wan laughed unconsciously when she heard this, and said, "Silly child! I'm going to reward you with a chunqin, where is it just to take care of trivial things! ”

She only thought that he didn't understand, but she didn't know that Yan Huai heard it clearly, so she only felt embarrassed and awkward.

He didn't want to do this, so he simply refused cleanly: "The elder gave it, I didn't dare to resign, but this matter is still over." ”

When Mrs. Wan heard what he said categorically, she couldn't help but open her mouth to persuade her, but looking at his serious expression, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she swallowed everything she wanted to say, and directly brushed aside the matter and didn't mention it again.

It's also that she didn't think about it, how could the maid of the Wan family go to the Yan family.

If Yan Huai is too thoughtful, it is hard to guarantee that she will not think that she is deliberately trying to put an eyeliner next to him.

Mrs. Wan leaned on the plain satin pillow, her eyes changed slightly, and she secretly said in her heart that she was not thoughtful and comprehensive enough. She didn't dare to mention it again, and originally wanted to pretend that she had no intention of asking about the situation of her second daughter, but she couldn't ask anymore. sighed secretly in her heart, and Mrs. Wan only picked a few anecdotes from the New Year's Festival to laugh with Yan Huai.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and although the estrangement was still there, the two still talked for a while before Yan Huai got up and said goodbye.

Yan Huai's appearance is quite similar to that of his biological mother Da Wan, and when he sits there without saying a word, he is especially similar.

Mrs. Wan looked at him, her face was reluctant, and let him come and sit for a while when he was free.

He answered them all.

Mrs. Wan was full of smiles and wanted to send him out in person.

How can there be a reason for the elders to send the younger generations, Yan Huai hurriedly excused himself, but he couldn't resist Mrs. Wan. She pointed to two people to follow, and followed him all the way, just to walk along the way, ignoring his push.

After a short time, the group had already walked outside the second gate.

Only then did Mrs. Wan stop and watch Yan Huai leave.

The beautiful young man walked away, and there was no one in sight.

Old Madam Wan stood in place for a long time before she sighed and turned back. However, in the corner where no one noticed, there was a figure that stood there for a long time...... For a long time...... (To be continued......)
