Chapter 19: Someone Comes
Most of the books written by Yan Meng are weird travelogues, the geographical chronicles say that if you want to read too esoteric biographies, I am afraid that it will cause Yan Chunan to be suspicious, and Yan Chunan has traveled all over the year round, there are many kinds of books in the study, it is not surprising that Yan Meng wants to read, Yan Meng is not to let Yan Chunan buy books for her, just want more opportunities, in the Yan Mansion can contact the officialdom and the court is not only Yan Bocheng, but also the three Yan brothers who are about to enter the official career...
got Yan Chunan's answer, and she took the opportunity to continue
"Then I'll go straight to your study when I'm free?" The courtyard of the three Yan brothers is close, so it is convenient to go to the school together, and if you have the opportunity to go to Yan Chunan's study, you will be able to thank you for the way to explore, and it is also convenient to know the information.
"Okay, it's up to you." Yan Chunan felt that such trivial things were not enough to care about, as long as his sister was happy.
"Then it's decided." Yan Meng's tone was slightly brisk, for fear that his brother would regret it.
Yan Chunan only thought it was funny, it was not a bad thing for his sister to want to read, he couldn't always be with her when he went to the school, because he was a man and was far away from Qingyun Academy, he could also avoid the unhappiness with the fourth sister
"It's decided." With a smile on their faces, the two talked for a while, and after a while, "It's not too early, you should rest early, I still have homework to do, go back first." ”
"I'll send you out."
"Okay."
After Yan Meng sent Yan Chunan away, he saw that Shi Chen had already gone to the study again, today's purpose was achieved, Du's mother had not heard from her for too long, if she was too indifferent, she would be suspicious, and with her unwilling character, it was most appropriate to inquire about this matter through Yan Chunan; The second is that she can often go in and out of Yan Chunan's study, so that there are more opportunities to contact the front yard, and she has more opportunities to understand what she wants.
After sorting out his thoughts in the study, he realized that it was getting late, so he told Yuchen to pack up his things and go back to the house.
Early the next morning, as soon as Yan Meng got up, he heard Tinghe come in and spread the word, saying that Yan Chunan was coming, and he was waiting in the outer hall to go with Yan Meng to greet Mrs. Yan with him.
"Again?" Yan Meng really can't figure out what happened to his brother these two days, why he came to her every day to ask for peace, she is okay, Yan Chunan is afraid that she will not have time to eat breakfast again, on weekdays, they can't eat breakfast when they go to Chen Province, they all stay to eat after they come back, and the three brothers of Yan Chunan went to the school after eating, and then went to the school. On weekdays, I also go to the morning province earlier than them.
"Listen to the lotus, prepare a plate of lotus leaf cake and chrysanthemum tea, and wait at the door of Rongkang Hall for a while." Yan Meng sat in front of the mirror and said to Tinghe, and thought for a moment, "Be more prepared." "Today's hour is estimated to be able to meet Yan Chushi and Yan Chuyi, I didn't expect to meet them yesterday, so I only prepared Yan Chu's alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat.
"Yes." Tinghe was also in Rongkang Hall yesterday, understood what Yan Meng meant, and retreated with a basin of water.
Yuchen also had yesterday's experience, and quickly groomed Yan Meng, Yan Meng looked at the appearance in the mirror and made no mistakes, and got up, "Let's go." "Walked out with the rain and dust.
From a distance, I saw Yan Chunan still standing under the corridor, still in the same position as yesterday, but today's spirit seemed to be a little weak, drooping his head, hunched over and leaning on the pillar a little lazily
"Why don't you sleep more in the yard? I came back early in the morning. ”
"Nope. Ha-huh" Yan Chunan just wanted to refute when he heard this, but he yawned without checking it, and even some tears oozed from the corners of his eyes. Feeling the inconsistency between his words and deeds, he hurriedly changed the topic, took out a turquoise ceramic vial from his arms and handed it over
"It's not that the maid who hurt you was injured yesterday, but today I'm here to deliver medicine. This is a good blood dispersion, ensuring that your little maid will be alive and kicking in no time. ”
"Oh? Are you worried about my maid? Yan Meng looked at Yan Chunan with ambiguous eyes, seeing that his sweat and hair were trembling, he sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, raised his hand and patted Yan Meng's head, "At a young age, what are you thinking in your head." ”
Yan Meng was a little overwhelmed by Yan Chunan's sudden intimate behavior, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and he stood in place in a daze.
Yan Chunan only realized that she had said the wrong thing, and no longer pestered, coughing lightly, "Let's go, don't let grandmother wait." ”
"Okay." Yan Meng came back to his senses, hid the thousands of emotions in his eyes, and walked out beside Yan Chunan.
There are not so many incidents in today's morning province, Yan Jingshu's illness is almost better, and she also came over to ask for peace, causing the old lady to have a lot of pity, taking into account the illness of her eldest granddaughter, the old lady Yan did not delay much, and let everyone disperse early.
Yan Meng went to Yan Chunan's courtyard and took a few books before returning to Youlan Courtyard, touching the medicine bottle that Yan Chunan had just given him in his arms, and handing it to Yuchen, "Send it to Yuan Xing and see if she is okay." ”
"Okay."
Time flies, the days pass so unhurriedly, a few days ago, Yan Chunan came to look for her every morning The reason was finally from Liuxi's mouth, it turned out that Yan Chunan heard that Yan Jingshu was seriously injured by a vicious dog, and he was worried about Yan Meng's old illness, and he wanted to explain that the people in his hospital paid more attention to Yan Meng, but he was afraid that Yan Meng would not like people, so he looked for an opportunity to come to her every day. Yan Meng, who knew the reason, felt warm and funny in his heart, although he said that Yan Chunan thought too much, and some plants and trees were soldiers, but later he still promised that he would be careful in everything, so that Yan Chunan would not have to worry about her and concentrate on her studies. Yan Chunan couldn't help it, so he had to take a step back, saying that he would find a strong maid to send to Yan Meng in the future, and at this time, he would give up.
One afternoon, Yuchen ran in in a hurry, but at this moment, Mother Song was instructed by Yan Meng to send something to the old lady, and no one dared to say that she was unruly.
"Girl, I heard that the cousin of the Ji family is coming to visit relatives in our house." The timbre is crisp, and the words are like pearls falling to the ground, and one by one they pop out of Yuchen's mouth.
"The Ji family?" Yan Meng was looking through the books he got from Yan Chunan in the study, and when he heard this, he didn't look up, "But the old lady's maiden family?" ”。 On the other hand, Tinghe who was waiting on the side signaled Yuchen to be quieter with displeasure in his eyes.
Yuchen saw that Yan Meng knew, his eyes lit up, but when he saw the eyes of Tinghe's warning, the small flame of gossip in his eyes went out again, and his mouth was deflated, but he knew what was wrong with him, and lowered his voice, "Yes, the slave maid listened to what Mrs. Fang said, saying that it was explained by Mother Zhang, who was next to the old lady today, and that there was a distinguished visitor." ”
The more Yuchen spoke, the lower his voice became, he looked left and right, hunched over, his body was almost buried in front of the two of them, his hand was made of a screen style to block his mouth, and he whispered, "Isn't it a little strange that he said that he was a distinguished guest, but he didn't let it be quiet, and only let the kitchen prepare." The dark eyes rolled back and forth, revealing a sense of ingenuity.
"It's a little strange, how did Mrs. Fang know that it was the young master of the Ji family?" Hearing that Yan Meng stopped turning the pages of the book after hearing Yuchen's words, he knew what the girl was thinking about again, so he guided Yuchen to continue.
"It's not what Zhang's mother said, Zhang's mother went to the kitchen and ordered a few dishes that the young master likes to eat, isn't the Ji family in Linxian, the dishes that the young master likes to eat are not the same as our Zhongjing, Mrs. Fang talked to Zhang's mother, and Zhang's mother said that it was the young master of the Ji family who handed over the letter a few days ago, and it arrived today." Although Rong Hong Tang has a small kitchen, most guests still have to arrange a large kitchen to do it.
"It's a little strange, it stands to reason that the young master is visiting relatives, and it is above board, why is it so mysterious, as if it is unseemly."
"Not really." After Yuchen finished saying the news he had heard, he felt a lot more comfortable, and seeing that Yan Meng's attention was still on the book in his hand, he waited quietly beside her and stopped talking.
Young Master Ji... Yan Mengke was deeply impressed by this young master Ji, in her previous life, she sent someone to investigate the fact that Yan Chunan was framed, and she was inextricably linked to this young master Ji, the grandchildren of the Ji family can be the only seedling on this root, the head of the Ji family's long house died early, and the young master of the Ji family, Ji Yunsheng, was raised by Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji. It is rumored that Ji Yunsheng has been smart and witty since he was a child, and he is very eloquent, and he is deeply loved by the Ji family, and he is regarded as the glorious lintel of the Ji family, and the hope of reinvigorating brilliance, but he contracted a vicious disease at the age of eighteen, and he could never get up from the lingering sickbed again.
The only sister-in-law had an accident, Mrs. Ji had to inherit a child from the clan for the family inheritance, although the young master Ji was not from a good background, but he had a good character, was down-to-earth and hard-working, and entered the office at a young age, although the official position was not high, he could be regarded as carrying the burden of the Ji family. Of course, Yan's help is indispensable, after all, the relationship between the Ji family and the Yan family is not only Mrs. Ji...
In his previous life, Yan Meng was locked up in the Buddha Hall, and he was accompanied by the mother-in-law of the Buddha Hall all day long, and he didn't know anything about the Yan Mansion, but now... She lowered her head and thought for a moment, and continued to flip through the booklet she took from Yan Chunan in her hand, her index finger and thumb slightly carried the corner of the page, twisting back and forth, Ji Yunsheng is not an ordinary person, Yan Fu is afraid that it is going to be lively...
She was full of thoughts, staring at the pictures on the page of the book, and didn't notice when Mother Song entered the house and told Yuchen and Tinghe to go out.
"Miss, the old lady handed over the word, there is a guest coming, and he wants to go to Rongkang Hall for lunch." Mother Song saw that Yan Meng was still immersed in reading, and said softly in Yan Meng's ear.
"Guest?" Yan Meng came back to his senses and looked up at Mother Song with some confusion.
Mother Song looked down along her eyes, and happened to catch a glimpse of the book that Yan Meng was looking at, Mother Song was not very literate, her eyes paused slightly, and she didn't stop long, and answered Yan Meng, "Yes, it's the young master who is coming, and he didn't say it in advance when he came suddenly." ”
"Okay, then I'll pack up and go over." Yesterday, because Mrs. Yan was slightly unwell, she stopped the morning examination in the morning, Yan Meng did not tie her hair after getting up, her hair was draped behind her, and she sat in the hall in her regular clothes.
"The slave waits for the young lady to change her clothes." Mother Song lowered her head and followed Yan Meng into the house.
"Although the script is interesting, it is not appropriate to read more, and the girl should be moderate if she likes to watch it" Mother Song was packing up Yan Meng's clothes, and a sentence came out coldly, although the tone was a little cold and hard, but there was concern in her eyes.
Yan Meng was slightly stunned, just now she was looking at the county chronicles of a certain place in Dazhou, and in order to facilitate people to read, she drew pictures and texts on the side with detailed explanations, but Song's mother recognized it like this...
"I see, Mom." Lowering her head and her eyes flashed slightly, she didn't want so many people to notice her changes so early.
