Chapter 30: Absurd
Yan Juan was only found in the study by Master Yan the next day.
She had planned to go to the front yard earlier, for example, after she had just returned home from outside in a carriage.
When a plan doesn't come to fruition, it's no different than empty talk.
Early the next morning.
Yan Juan walked on the bluestone path in the house, with unmelted hoarfrost on the ground on both sides, and only Yu Qi was followed behind him, and Yu Nong went to Jixiang's home.
Now Jixiang's whereabouts are clear, but Master Yan did not let him go home, nor did he send anyone to his house to say a word.
So much so that in the second half of the night yesterday, someone trembled and knocked on the back door of Yanfu.
The person who came was an auspicious old father, with gray hair, he couldn't even walk steadily, if it weren't for someone beside him to support him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to reach Yanfu at all. The man who had accompanied him looked quite depressed, wearing burlap clothes, a lame leg, and a beard that was so messy that people couldn't even see his face clearly.
Yunong has always been unforgiving, but in fact, he is the most soft-hearted.
didn't need Yan Wan's orders, he took the initiative to take the matter on himself.
Master Yan's study is full of all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and the rare and unique ancient books outside are placed here at random, next to the vase in the corner, on the small table by the window, but wherever it can be placed, there must be books.
The children in the family, whether they are Yan Juan or the other two, do not like to come to Master Yan's study.
They actually like those lone ancient books that were placed at random by Master Yan, but when they entered the study, it was one thing to have no place to stay, and besides, if they were not careful, they might destroy a lone book.
This kind of thing has not happened before.
A few years ago, Yan Chongjing had just started enlightenment and came to Master Yan's study once.
He just felt that the vase in the corner was not so neatly arranged, and wanted to help tidy it up, but the vase was not broken by him, but the water in the vase was sprinkled on the carpet on the side.
Immediately afterward, Master Yan rushed over in distress and took out a book from under the carpet.
It is said to be the work of a famous calligrapher in history, unparalleled in the world, but the pages were wet with water in a vase, so that many of the handwriting on it was spent, and the previous style could not be seen. It was sent to an antique shop, and someone could help restore it, but it was not what it was at the beginning.
Since then, Yan Chongjing has been reluctant to go to Master Yan's study.
Yan Wan was also reluctant.
She hadn't broken anything in the study, she just didn't like the clutter.
"Daddy is so decent, why did he send someone to lock up Jixiang. He's just running errands for me, and he hasn't done anything he shouldn't do, so it's worth asking! ”
It's not like no one has helped Yan Juan send things to Xie Chen before, but this is the first time that a situation like Jixiang has come.
Who would have thought that it would be Master Yan who suddenly made a move!
Master Yan spent a night and finally finished the draft in his heart.
In the face of Yan Juan's question, he was not very flustered.
He had imagined that Yan Wan might have many reactions, and the current one was the best way to deal with it.
"As you said, a little guy is not worth asking about personally, since Wanwan knows, why can't I understand why I did this?"
The door in the study was hidden, and the cold winter breeze blew in through the cracks, and the study, which had not lit the stove, became even cooler at the moment.
Yan Juan looked at Master Yan who was talking endlessly opposite, and couldn't help but shudder.
She heard Master Yan say, "Don't you think you're too close to the Xie family!" ”
"Although you are ...... Cheng Huan's family affairs have retired, but since the retirement of relatives, it has only been more than a month, and now everyone outside is talking about you and the Xie family's kid, of course I know that the two of you are innocent, but people outside say that, it's not good. ”
"Wanwan, it's better for you to have less contact with him!"
Maybe this winter came too early, or maybe the cold in her body hasn't dissipated yet, otherwise how could she feel a chill to the bone!
It's cold!
It was as if at that moment, even the blood was frozen.
Yan Wan slowly moved her fingertips, and her eyes stared at Master Yan without blinking.
Does Daddy think she's easy to coax, so he won't even look for a better reason, just fool her casually.
If Dad really cares so much about the rumors of the outside world, how can he let the talk of quitting her relatives be so loud, even the young children in the city who are not yet literate know how visionary she is, maybe those supporters of Cheng Huan will even scold her in private for looking down on people.
Her reputation!
It's been a mess for a long time.
When the rumors first appeared, no one came to stop them, and now they don't sound good, how can they be described as ridiculous.
"Is Daddy joking with me?"
Yan Wan spoke, but felt as if her voice was coming from the sky.
The whole person seems to be standing in the ice and snow, and his thoughts and emotions have become slow.
Before she could feel the sadness, her right hand was already clenched into a fist and clutched to her chest.
Probably the intuition of the body is more acute than the feeling of the heart!
It's a pity that Master Yan didn't notice her abnormality.
It's probably in their eyes, they can only see what they want.
Cheng Huan is like this, and so is Master Yan.
But the former is not worth mentioning to Yan Juan, but the latter can make her subvert all cognition.
He continued.
"Wanwan, you are not too young, you should plan more for the future. Although you have missed Cheng Huan, there are many good sons and daughters in Jinguan City, and Daddy will always find Ruyi Langjun for you. ”
By the time he said this, he had apparently forgotten.
Who swore that as long as Yan Juan was unwilling, no one could force her to do something that made her unhappy.
"Daddy, can you stop talking?"
Yan Xuan's eyes were full of water, and she thought she was shouting this sentence.
In reality, however, her voice was so small that only she could hear it.
The old man Yan on the other side didn't know what she said at all.
“…… It's also because I'm too used to you in the past, so I asked you to get closer to the Xie family, he is actually very unlucky, who knows if Mrs. Xie was killed by him at the beginning! ”
It seems to be an absurd dream, and the former gentle father is even more terrifying than a ghost at this moment.
Is the person in front of her really her father?
Why did it make her feel so strange?
Yan Wan fell backwards, her back against the door of the study, and the clear touch made her unable to return everything in front of her to dreams.
"So Daddy, have you always thought like this?"
When Master Yan nodded, she continued: "So what you said to me in the past are all false!" ”
"Everything is an accident, in fact, you are the same as me in your heart, you think I killed my brother! No wonder you don't always want to see me, it turns out that you also think I'm very unlucky, do you think in your heart that I was the one who should be damned in the first place? ”
