The courtyard is not big, but because it is too disorganized, Wang Dong has been busy for a long time.

The sound of the mother and son reading aloud came from time to time, and Wang Dong glanced at it from time to time. Looking down, the autumn leaves fell in front of him, quietly lifeless, and it was suddenly shocking. Yes, he began to envy and even jealousy, when they were together, they always thought that there was still time, they could be relative for a long time, and they didn't need too many words, but now once they are separated, they know that the people are vast, far away from thousands of rivers and mountains, and the red dust is still the same, but after a thousand years, it is another spring and autumn.

Wang Dong cleaned up in this small courtyard for an afternoon, but he only made the courtyard more tidy, but as for the abandoned inner houses, Wang Dong had no time.

Wang Dong took the initiative to invite Ying to come here to help clean up, in fact, it was completely out of Wang Dong's own intentions, or maybe the Seventh Duke did not explain it clearly, but in the end, the Seventh Duke did not stop it, which could be regarded as acquiescence, but this made Aunt Lan's heart turbulent, she was afraid, afraid of dispersing the calmness and strength that she had worked hard to gather for many years.

The time is not early and the sun is slanting westward, and it is almost evening, and a few clouds in the western sky are soaked in crimson in the gray, inlaid with golden bright edges, and a round of orange-red sun that has lost its light, like a gilded copper plate, but for some reason, at this moment, it is full of unstoppable desolation.

"You...... What is your name? Wang Dong was putting things away and looked up, it turned out to be Aunt Lan.

Wang Dong smiled: "You can call me Wang Dong." ”

Aunt Lan also smiled: "I can't see it, you are very diligent." Then he looked around, the originally chaotic courtyard was indeed much cleaner at the moment, "It's not too early, you should go back and rest early." ”

Wang Dong said: "It's okay, it's actually just troublesome, but it's not too tired." ”

Looking at the time, it was indeed not early, and he didn't know when the dinner in this palace would open, although it was unpalatable, he could only adapt to it. Put down the things in his hand Wang Dong wanted to turn around and leave, just walked to the gate of the courtyard and met a figure walking in, the two almost bumped together, fortunately Wang Dong reflected that he was about to hide to the side.

"Look at it while walking!" The person who came was also taken aback, but his temper was very big, and he pointed at Wang Dong's nose for a while.

The person who came was dressed in brocade clothes and jade clothes, and at first glance he was a dignitary, where did Wang Dong dare to provoke. Looking at this person's face again, he is very young, and he looks younger than Wang Dong, which makes Wang Dong wonder, what is the origin of this person?

"Look at what, look!" The person who came scolded Wang Dong, and then walked towards the courtyard.

Wang Dong, who wanted to leave, met this person, and it seemed that it was also a bad posture, Wang Dong couldn't help but be a little worried that Aunt Nalan and Bao'er would come. Although Wang Dong didn't know what the identities of Aunt Lan and Bao'er were, since they lived in such a remote place and looked very simple in their clothes, they must not be able to compare with the person in front of them. Now that such a person is bullying the door, where can Wang Dong leave with confidence.

So Wang Dong quietly returned to the courtyard, only to see the man striding into the courtyard, and then said loudly: "No one!" The tone was haughty, and that commanding tone sounded very uncomfortable.

After a while, Aunt Lan walked out of the house, and when she saw the man in the courtyard, her face was happy, her lips moved, and she just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the man: "I brought you what you wanted." With that, the man took out a scroll or something like that from his bosom, threw it on the table beside him, and then immediately turned around and left directly, as if he would die if he stayed here for a while, and for Aunt Lan, he was more impatient to hide from the plague god.

"You ......" Aunt Lan's words were still in her throat, but the person had disappeared outside the door, really coming and going in a hurry, Aunt Lan's eyes couldn't help but dim, walked to the table and picked up the book to touch it quietly for a while, turned around and found Wang Dong standing in the courtyard in a daze, and couldn't help but say, "Why are you still here?" ”

Wang Dong said: "I...... I'm afraid that the person just now will not be good for you, so come back and take a look. ”

"Not good for me?" When Aunt Lan heard this, she was even more confused.

Wang Dong said: "By the way, Aunt Lan, what is the origin of that person?" Why can I come and go freely in the palace? ”

"Heh, this is his home, so naturally you can go in and out freely." Aunt Lan looked at Wang Dong in surprise, "You don't know who that person is?" ”

Wang Dong nodded honestly: "I don't know." ”

Aunt Lan smiled helplessly: "Hey, but let me say how you are a servant in the palace, and you don't even know your own master." ”

"Master? You mean......" Wang Dong was thinking about it, and accidentally saw Aunt Lan open the scroll, and there were lines of handwriting inside, so he woke up, "It turns out that this is a book." "For the first time, Wang Dong saw that Datang's book turned out to be like this.

"That's right, that person is the fourth son of the Wang family, he can naturally come and go here freely." After saying this, Aunt Lan sighed, took the book in her hand, and walked towards the inner room.

"So that's the case, no wonder the young age is better than the seven princes, it turns out that the background is good." Wang Dong muttered to himself, and when he came back to his senses, he found that the courtyard was empty, "Since it is the fourth young master of the dignified Wang family, how could he deign to come to this broken place?" And also brought books to Aunt Lan. ”

You know, in ancient times, books were very valuable, because printing and paper were not developed, that is, there was money, and some books were not easy to buy. Coupled with the identity of the person who came, this made Wang Dong can't help but wonder, what is the identity of this Aunt Lan in front of him?

Puzzled, Wang Dong returned to his own residence, which was the courtyard where he was injured. At this moment, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and Wang Dong's feet stepped into the courtyard door, and he heard someone greeting over there: "Hey, you can be regarded as back, where have you been this day and night?!" As soon as Liu Er saw Wang Dong coming back, he couldn't help but let go of his heart.

Although the Seventh Duke knew about Wang Dong's situation, Liu Er didn't know. Originally, Liu Er was the only one living in this courtyard, and it was very deserted. When he heard from the steward that Wang Dong was staying, he couldn't help but be happy, but he didn't expect that there would be no news for a day and a night, which really worried him.

Wang Dong smiled: "It's okay, I got lost last night because it was too late, you see, didn't we come back safely, besides, in this palace, you are still afraid that someone will eat me." ”

"You still say, you think it's too peaceful in this palace, I sue you, if you're not careful, maybe your life will be gone." Liu Er and Wang Dong said as they walked towards the inner room, but Liu Er's words were in his words.

Wang Dong couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Er pursed his lips, "This matter of the rich family, we people still know as little as possible." ”
