When Wen Yuan entered the door, Xu Chengzhi was sitting on the edge of the bed and didn't know what he was thinking, she had no intention of packing her luggage at all, she couldn't help frowning, "Brother Azhi......"

Wen Yuan's call made Xu Chengzhi, who was immersed in his thoughts, suddenly come back to his senses, and looked at Wen Yuan with a helpless sigh and repeated, "You really don't plan to go with me?" ”

Wen Yuan lowered her head slightly to avoid Xu Chengzhi's gaze, but she still shook her head firmly, "Brother A'an has never heard from him, I want to wait here for him to come back, I can't wait until he comes back and he won't even have a home." ”

Thinking of Xu Cheng'an, Wen Yuan raised her head again and looked at Xu Chengzhi and asked, "Brother A-Zhi, don't you believe that Brother A'an will definitely come back?" ”

"Of course I do!"

Three years have passed, and the little girl who was round and jade has become slim and gentle, but whenever Xu Chengan is mentioned, she still has a stubborn spirit.

Thinking of Cheng'an, Xu Chengzhi was naturally worried, obviously he said that he must remember to send a letter to his family, at the beginning, Cheng'an did ask someone to send a few letters, but there was no news in a few months, even if they were worried, they had no choice, at that time he was cheeky to go to Lord Tan for help, but after all, the civilian officials couldn't get involved in their soldiers' affairs, even if Tan Yan wanted to help find the news of Cheng'an, he was powerless.

"But ......" Although I believe that Cheng'an will come back one day, Xu Chengzhi still can't just let Wen Yuan stay at home, he remembers that he said that he would take Wen Yuan to find her father and mother, but there has been no way for so many years, and now that he is going to the capital, he doesn't know if her father and mother are still alive, but he should take her to visit her grandfather who has never met.

"But there's no way I'm going to leave you alone at home!"

yes, alone!

In the winter of the year Xu Cheng'an left, Xu A-Niang finally couldn't hold it anymore, and when she died, all she thought about was a Xu Cheng'an who had no news, and as for Xu Chengzhi's marriage, she was not so anxious, the children were older, and they always had their own plans.

Xu Chengzhi originally planned to enter Beijing to take the exam, but because of Xu Aniang's affairs, he kept filial piety for three years, but Miss Hu, who was married to him back then, did not expect to meet a bandit when she went out and suddenly suffered misfortune.

After Miss Hu is gone, Xu Chengzhi often goes to the Hu family to help the Hu family's parents do some things, although Wen Yuan looks at the taste, but there is nothing to be done, although Miss Hu is gone, but she did have a relationship with Xu Chengzhi before her death, and it is understandable for him to help.

Seeing that Wen Yuan lowered his head again and was silent, Xu Chengzhi sighed secretly and said again, "I don't worry about you!" ”

Wen Yuan couldn't deny that she was a little shaken because of Xu Chengzhi's words, how long had she not heard him talk to her like this, since she knew her mind, when did he not try to avoid suspicion?

But after all, living under the same roof, how can it really be avoided? Although Xu Chengzhi has never entered Wen Yuan's house since Xu A-Niang's death, Wen Yuan often goes in and out of Chengzhi's house as if she doesn't know, in fact, how can she not know, she is a woman, in fact, she still needs some face after all.

But......

Seeing Wen Yuan shaking his head, Xu Chengzhi was actually a little disappointed in his heart, and his determination to go to Beijing for the exam this time also began to waver, if Wen Yuan insisted on refusing to follow him into Beijing, he naturally didn't worry about leaving her here alone, although the villagers of Xujia Village were also familiar with her, but if Wen Yuan was left here alone, he would definitely not be at ease.

Wen Yuan smiled reluctantly at Xu Chengzhi and said, "Brother Azhi, I'll help you clean up, I'll stay at home and wait here for you to come back!" ”

She took two steps forward and walked to Xu Chengzhi's side, helping him pick up the clothes next to him, but Xu Chengzhi grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"If you don't go, I naturally can't leave with confidence, this matter is not negotiable."

Xu Chengzhi rarely spoke to Wen Yuan so strongly, Wen Yuan was stunned for a while, but her eyes were focused on his hand, which was holding her arm.

may have seen Wen Yuan's behavior, Xu Chengzhi let go of his hand fiercely, and secretly annoyed that he had just behaved to Wen Yuan, it was enough for his cousin and cousin to be under the same roof, if her behavior hurt this girl's reputation inappropriately, how would she marry in the future!

At the beginning, Xu A-Niang originally wanted to ask Aunt Lin to help her find a mother-in-law, but then Xu A-Niang was seriously ill and passed away, as soon as they came to keep filial piety for Xu A-Niang for three years, he also thought that Wen Yuan was still young, so he put this matter on hold first, but in fact, Aunt Lin actually had a candidate at the beginning.

At the beginning, Aunt Lin once said that Su Qiyun of the Su family had also reached the age of marriage, and she heard that the other party was Wen Yuan, and she also intended to marry them, but Xu Chengzhi had a pimple in his heart.

The Su family, and the Su family, when his marriage with Su Meng didn't come to fruition, he watched Su Meng enter the Di family and become the wife of the Di family, why did Su Qiyun come to join in the fun again and wanted to marry their Wen Yuan?

And what makes Xu Chengzhi even more difficult to accept is that this Su Qiyun is the same age as him, and at his age, he regarded Wen Yuan as an ignorant little sister, and it is really difficult to imagine what kind of mentality Su Qiyun of his age has towards Wen Yuan.

Seeing Xu Chengzhi's hand withdrawn, Wen Yuan was actually a little lost in her heart, but after all, after so many years of upbringing, she naturally wouldn't say anything about it.

But Xu Chengzhi saw that Wen Yuan was silent, so he thought that Wen Yuan was still unwilling to enter Beijing with him, so he said, "Wen Yuan, you ......"

"What should Brother Cheng'an do?" Wen Yuan interrupted before Xu Chengzhi could finish speaking, and after finishing speaking, he muttered by himself, "Brother Cheng'an, what should I do?" ”

It's not that she doesn't want to leave with Xu Chengzhi, if she can, she wants to be by his side all the time, but if even she leaves, this family will be completely empty, what should I do when Brother Cheng'an comes back?

Speaking of which, it finally went back to Xu Cheng'an, Xu Chengzhi was a little helpless, and he was not annoyed when Wen Yuan interrupted him, but said patiently, "If Cheng'an comes back, what about so many people in the village, they will tell Cheng'an where we are, and it would be good to let Cheng'an find us when the time comes?" ”

Wen Yuan felt a burst of sadness as long as she thought that Xu Chengan had no one at home after returning from the battlefield, and when the time came, this family would not know what it had become because no one had lived in it for a long time.

Even if he was worried about Cheng'an, but every time he thought of Xu Cheng'an's affairs in the past few years, Wen Yuan complained a little about Cheng'an's self-assertion, and I don't know if he was dissatisfied with this family, so that he could leave ruthlessly when Xu A-Niang was critically ill.

It is said that in the past few years, there have been people who have come to Linchuan County again to recruit soldiers, and it is indeed as Xu Chengan said that it is a compulsory conscription, and the Xu family has not let Chengzhi go to the battlefield because Xu Chengan has already gone to the battlefield.

Fortunately, the non-commissioned officers who came to recruit soldiers still understood the situation in Xujia Village, and some of the older people in the village let them stay at home and only recruit strong soldiers, but in this way, Xujia Village was still empty.

Although Xu Chengzhi said that Wen Yuan had also thought about it, but when he thought that this home would no longer be inhabited in the future, Xu Chengan would see the dilapidated yard when the time came, and he didn't know what his mood would be at that time.

The more Wen Yuan thought about it, the more sad she became, Xu Chengzhi looked at Wen Yuan, who was bowing her head and silent, but her heart softened, and she said softly, "Yuanyuan, don't you want your father?" Finally, we can leave Xujia Village, and we will have more opportunities to inquire about your father's news after we arrive in the capital! ”

"Daddy...... Mother......"

Wen Yuan looked up at Xu Chengzhi, a little dazed, how many years has no one mentioned her father and mother again?

"Brother Zhi, they may have ......"

Wen Yuan couldn't say anything about the next words, although she also thought countless times in her heart that maybe her father and mother were long gone, but if she let her say it herself, she still couldn't open it.

However, Xu Chengzhi didn't let Wen Yuan say such a thing, although Wen Yuan's words were not finished, but he also understood what she meant, "Linchuan is located in a remote area, close your eyes and listen, it is reasonable that we can't find any news, but it will definitely not be like this when we go to the capital." ”

Wen Yuan also knew that the capital was prosperous and well-informed, and the news she heard might be accurate and more detailed when the time came.

And Wen Yuan always remembered that their family was going to follow their father into Beijing to report on their work, just as Brother Chengzhi wanted to enter the court as an official to find out the truth about his father's murder, Wen Yuan also thought that Brother Chengzhi would naturally be able to find out about her father's news, after all, compared to Brother Chengzhi's father, who was clueless like looking for a needle in a haystack, his father also had a name and a surname, and he had an official position, so it must be easier to inquire.

And......

The Wen family in the capital, although she has always been reluctant to deal with the people of the Wen family, but after all, that is also her root in the final analysis, presumably they will definitely have news of their father, right?

Even if they don't know why they treat their father so coldly, but after all, his father is his own son, and he is also the eldest son, how can he really not care about his father and really ignore his father?

Wen Yuan has long wanted to have the opportunity to go to the capital one day to ask her grandfather why he is like this and why he does it, but on the other hand, she is very contradictory in her heart and faintly rejects contact with this grandfather, in her opinion, this so-called grandfather is far less important than the Xu family in her heart, so every time she mentions her grandfather, she refuses to contact him for the first time.
