Chapter 9: Brother
Wen Yan took a nap.
In the dream, the light is bizarre, one moment is the majestic and glorious Forbidden Palace, the other is the quiet and simple Zhuangzi, she seems to have seen Princess Cheng'an, and the next moment it is Concubine Huo......
Vaguely seeing Huo Yixiao again, Wen Yan watched him from an indifferent young man who had just entered the court, and became a gloomy owl little by little......
Wen Yan opened his eyes and gasped for air.
It wasn't a terrifying dream, but it made her tired.
Wen Yan suddenly remembered what Concubine Huo had said to her.
In her previous life, Concubine Huo was seriously ill, and she thought that she would die soon, so she began to actively arrange for Huo Yixiao.
The last thing she can let go of is Huo Yixiao.
Huo Yixiao's position in the court and palace is awkward, and all kinds of calculations make him wary of people, and only here can Concubine Huo show some frank emotions.
Concubine Huo was worried that when she left, Huo Yixiao didn't even have someone around him who could make him feel at ease.
Therefore, she sent people to the hot spring Zhuangzi to receive a warm banquet and set the wedding ceremony for the two.
After eight years of getting along, there were stumbles between Wen Yan and Huo Yixiao, but also warmth and joy.
But there is also a thin layer of veil and mist, which is enveloped in the heart.
Wen Yan knew that those were the five years she had missed.
Concubine Huo regretted this, and so did Wen Yan.
Tugging the thin blanket, Wen Yan thought, this time, it will definitely be able to change.
Soon, the patrol will come to Lin'an City.
When the old lady heard the sound, she came in to serve, and when she saw a thin layer of sweat on Wen Yan's forehead, she said, "Girl, but you're in a nightmare?" ”
"It's hot." Wen Yan replied.
The old lady didn't believe it, but she didn't get to the bottom of it, and said with a smile: "It just so happened that the second lady sent someone to send half a melon, and took the well water to town, and the girl used some to go to the heat." ”
After Wen Yan freshened up, he sat down in the second room, and before he could taste the melon, he heard the sound of footsteps running outside.
She looked up at the curtain.
Soon, a boy rushed in and didn't stop until she was in front of her.
"Sister!" An eight-year-old with sweat still hanging from his forehead.
Wen Yan's eyes turned red in an instant.
This is her brother Wen Zhang.
My grandfather's favorite child was Wen Zhang, who said that he was clever and intelligent, and he was a piece of reading material.
Wen Zhang was very competitive, enlightened early, read a lot of poems, and wrote articles that were very childish because of his age, but also had rules and aura.
His parents changed, but Wen Zhang still studied hard.
This is also one of the reasons why Wen Yan promised Concubine Huo in his last life.
The maternal grandfather's family and parents must be rehabilitated, otherwise Wen Zhang's knowledge will not fall into the examination room.
But Wen Zhang didn't enter the examination room in the end, and a cold caused him to lie down for three months, causing a series of illnesses, his legs were wasted, and his body was very weak.
It's not like now, he can run and jump, and he is still a slightly chubby child.
Wen Zhang returned to Lin'an this year, enrolled in Yuquan Academy, the mountain chief Fang Yu was a great Confucian in the dynasty, and their maternal grandfather was a good friend, although the Xia family fell, the gentlemen of the academy still took great care of Wen Zhang.
A few days ago, Wen Zhang followed his husband and classmates to the outskirts of the city to look for the ancients, and only came back today.
I heard that Wen Yan went back to live in the house, and Wen Zhang came in a hurry.
"Sir, class is out?" Wen Yan stabilized his voice and asked.
"Let it go," Wen Zhang nodded, "Why did my sister suddenly return home?" ”
Wen Yan took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on Wen Zhang's forehead, and said, "I haven't been able to sleep for several days, and I think there will be someone to talk to when I go back to the house." ”
Wen Zhang frowned, and said strangely: "In the last letter, it was clearly said that you slept well and ate well......
"That's all for you," Wen Yan was straightforward, lowered his eyes and sighed, "I'm afraid that the house will be worried, and I have been reporting good news and not bad news, and I have picked everything to say, which is actually uncomfortable."
I always tell you to be obedient and sensible, and not to cause trouble to your grandmother and uncles, and I do this myself.
But now that I understand it, it's all a family, so how can it be said to be 'trouble'?
I don't say it's sick, you don't say it's sick, no one knows, who else is distressed? ”
Wen Zhang is younger in the end, and he is used to listening to Wen Yan's words, so he doesn't care about the reason, he only cares about how his sister can't sleep well and how uncomfortable she is.
Wen Yan was warm-hearted by his question, and he didn't hide his illness after answering, which appeased Wen Zhang.
The siblings used melons together.
Wen Yan listened to Wen Zhang say some interesting things about the autumn, although they were all small fun, they could also make the sisters and brothers smile.
The joy of children is simple and pure, but it is also the most grounded and reassuring for Wen Yan.
These are all beyond the reach of Wen Zhangli, who grew up and was not good at doing things in his previous life.
Wen Zhang still had to do his homework, so he didn't stay long before going back.
The old lady sent him out, turned her head and said to Wen Yan: "Girl, this is a difference between words and deeds? ”
Wen Yan was stunned, and wanted to turn around the meaning of the old lady, so she couldn't help but smile at her: "It's amazing, make fun of me." ”
The old lady also smiled: "The slave and maid care about you." ”
"I had a dream at noon, but it wasn't scary, I wasn't too tired, just a little tired," Wen Yan thought for a while and said, "You have been with me, even if I don't tell the truth, you can see it at a glance."
But Ah Zhang is different, I can't look at him all the time.
He was considerate of us, and he didn't say anything about it, and he didn't let the people around him say that if I was sick or uncomfortable, I found out too late......"
It was like that in my previous life.
At first, it was just an ordinary cold, and no one thought that it would be regretted in the end.
After listening to this, the old lady nodded thoughtfully.
Mama Huang came in from outside, her expression quite complicated.
Wen Yan looked at her curiously.
Mama Huang smiled: "I heard that someone from Shunping Bofu is here." ”
Wen Yan raised his eyebrows, this was only in the morning that he sneered at the Wen family on his own territory, and chased after him in the afternoon to continue to mock?
"I said that I came to apologize, and I sent a box of beaded hairpins." Mama Huang said.
The old lady's face was full of words: "I bullied the second girl and the fourth girl so much during the day, and I want to apologize now?" ”
Wen Yan twisted his eyebrows: "Did grandmother accept it?" ”
"Confiscated," Mama Huang said, "the old lady politely sent the apologist away." ”
Wen Yan relieved his heart.
It's good if you don't accept it.
If Mrs. Gui "can bend and stretch" and go down the steps, it will be troublesome.
The old lady muttered, "What does his family mean?" ”
Not only was the old lady confused, but the old lady Gui couldn't understand.
"Think that a stubble is a stubble, and give a slap to a sweet date? Do you still want my wife to be grateful to Dade? The more Old Madam Gui thought about it, the more angry she became, "This is to deceive our Hou Mansion and have no successor!" ”
What's more, this sweet jujube was not sincere to be given by Shunping Bofu.
It was the second girl Ji who was hanging the Wen sisters today, and it was Ji Ji who scolded them, and it was Mrs. Bo's mother-in-law who ran out to point out and scolded Huai and cursed Mrs. Gui.
If you really want to apologize, even if Mrs. Uncle refuses to show up, at least it should be the little Uncle and Mrs. who come to the door with their children, how can there be a reason for a random mother-in-law to come with a box?
They are Ding'an Hou Mansion, can't they lack such a box of things?
It's so deceitful!
Old Madam Gui is such a face-saving person, how could she swallow this breath!
It's just that the old lady didn't expect that more deceptive things were still to come.
