In the next few days, Master Yan never sent anyone to look for Yan Juan, and Yan Wan did not go to the front yard again.

Until the eighth day of the lunar month.

Master Yan, who hadn't stepped into the backyard for a long time, suddenly came over.

At that time, Yan Juan was reading the letter with Yan Chongjing.

The letter sent back by Yan Chongjun from the capital took dozens of days before it was delivered to Yan Xuan.

"The eldest brother said that he followed several uncles in Beijing to visit several great Confucians, and after receiving their guidance, he was more confident in the imperial examination in the coming year."

Yan Wan smiled, she knew that what the eldest brother said confidently was to say that he was among the top three.

She raised her hand and rubbed Yan Chongjing's hair, and said softly: "Wait for next year, you should go to the capital to study, and then the eldest brother should also stay in the capital, and you can also take care of it." ”

Yan Chongjing, who has never left Jinguan City since he was a child, although he knew that going to the capital was a must, he was still a little panicked when it came to the end.

I don't want to talk about it at all.

He squeezed his hand on the letter, shook it back and forth twice, and said, "That, let's talk about it later!" I'll read the back to my sister, and I don't know if my eldest brother said when he will come back! ”

Then I heard him exclaim.

Eagerly spoke: "Sister, it's not good!" ”

"The eldest brother said in the letter that his grandmother wants to keep him and his mother in Beijing for the New Year, so we won't be able to see the eldest brother until next year. The eldest brother was supposed to go to Beijing for the imperial examination next year, and if he had to go to Beijing after returning from the previous year, and now he would have stayed in Beijing directly for the New Year, wouldn't he not have been able to see the eldest brother until after the imperial examination? ”

He knew that Yan Chongjun was very knowledgeable, and he would definitely be on the list if he participated in the imperial examination, and he would either be assigned to the Hanlin Academy or to be assigned to the local county magistrate.

No matter what the situation is, there will definitely be no way to return to Jinguan City within three or five years!

Yan Juan patted Yan Chongjing's shoulder, pointed to the letter in his hand and said, "Ah Zhao, if you look back, this letter hasn't been read yet." ”

"You only said that your grandmother wanted her mother and eldest brother to stay in Beijing, and you haven't said whether your eldest brother should go down!"

The girl sipped her tea slowly, not seeming to be too worried.

Yan Chongjing obediently turned the next page, still breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, and then saw his brother's negative answer, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

He happily raised the letterhead: "Sister, the eldest brother said that he and his mother were ready to leave for the return, and this letter was written before he left." The messenger is a little faster than the big brother and their convoy, but it won't be a few days soon, and the big brother will definitely be back in a few days! ”

Sure enough, it's a piece of news to be happy about.

Yan Juan couldn't help but smile at this time.

Although the eldest brother is extremely cautious every time he faces her, as if she is made of porcelain and will break if she is not careful.

is too cautious, but it makes her get along with her eldest brother very unnaturally.

But if she doesn't see her for a long time, she will miss it in her heart.

"I'm talking about something glad to be talking about, I heard your voice through the door!" As soon as Master Yan entered the door, he stared at Yan Chongjing, who was still smiling on his face, "You can finish your homework today, if you haven't done it, don't always come to disturb your sister." ”

Yan Chongjing immediately suppressed his laughter.

The letter in his hand was also put on the table by him, and then he lowered his head and answered Master Yan's words.

"Nothing...... The homework has been done......"

His temperament is actually a bit lawless.

At least in Yan Xuan's memory, except for Xie Chen, no one else seems to be able to lower him.

However, she looked at his reaction now, and then looked at the appearance that Master Yan was accustomed to, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She should have told Yan Chongjing that there was no need to be so low-voiced, revealing an extremely unconfident look, and then asked Master Yan not to be too strict with Yan Chongjing, and let him understand Yan Chongjing's hard work.

But she didn't say anything.

Holding the white jade teacup in her hand, she looked down and counted the tea stalks in the cup, the knot that had fallen before had not been untied, and she didn't want to face Master Yan so quickly.

Obviously, before he came, there were two people who were talking and laughing, but after seeing him, they were silent.

Master Yan touched his beard, and his subordinates unconsciously used a little strength to pull out two beards.

Yan Chongjing, who lowered his head, waited for a long time, but he didn't see anyone talking.

He cautiously looked at Yan Juan, but saw that she was looking at the teacup in her hand intently, as if she was looking at some rare treasure, and she didn't want to look away for a moment.

It's weird.

Yan Chongjing found out that her sister and father also seemed to have a conflict.

He thought about it, since his sister didn't seem to be going to talk to his father, then let him do it!

I can't keep silent like this, if my father just consumes them like this, then my sister will definitely be uncomfortable.

Do whatever comes to mind.

Yan Chongjing: "My sister and I were reading the eldest brother's letter, and the eldest brother said that they had already left for the return and would probably arrive home in a few days." ”

Although he had already opened his mouth to explain, Master Yan frowned, not very satisfied.

"What do you call them? Could it be that you still hate me and your mother, and you don't even want to shout a mother! ”

"I don't have ......"

Yan Chongjing stood up straight and looked straight at Master Yan, as if he wanted to express his sincerity in this way.

However, Yan Wan caught a glimpse of the hand in his sleeve, which had been clenched into a fist.

She frowned, Ah Zhao and her father seemed to have happened something she didn't know before.

Such thoughts swirled in her mind, and soon she remembered what Master Yan said that day, and she felt that it was not surprising.

If she asks Ah Zhao, Ah Zhao will definitely not hide it.

"You definitely didn't come here specifically to reprimand Ah Zhao!" Yan Juan interrupted Yan Chongjing's words, and the teacup in her hand had already been placed on the table beside her, but she was still sitting there with no intention of standing up.

No matter how many honorifics are used and how respectful the tone is, Master Yan still notices that Yan Juan's attitude towards him is much more distant, and he doesn't even call his father.

Mo is still angry about what happened that day.

He should probably explain a thing or two.

Old Master Yan thought about Cheng Huan, who was still in the study in the front yard at this time, and his thoughts about explaining couldn't help but be a little more.

After he explained clearly, the young lady would definitely not be the same attitude as she is now, and he would be a little more sure when he talked about Cheng Huan.

"Wanwan, that day ......"

He had just said the beginning, but he was interrupted by Yan Juan.

"Father, I'm a little tired," Yan Wan rubbed her forehead, "I've been unwell for the past few days, and the doctor said that I want to have a good rest, if you have anything important, just say it!" ”

She was indeed sick.

Yan Juan is more likely to get sick than usual in winter every year, not to mention that under the fuss a few days ago, she still walked around the small black alley for a long time, and after coming back, the cold wind blew for a while, so that she lay in bed for several days.

If Yan Chongjing hadn't come to her with the letter just now, she would probably still be lying on the bed right now!

Master Yan wanted to struggle a little more and tried to continue to explain, but all the words were suddenly defeated after his eyes on Yan Wan.

Tilting his head, he said a little embarrassed: "Today is the eighth day of the lunar month, although your mother and eldest brother have not come back yet, our family should still have a meal together." ”

Such a trivial thing is also worth a special trip from Master Yan?

Obviously, even if he doesn't talk about it, the practice of Yanfu is the same.

Before Yan Chongjing's questioning attitude was revealed, he heard Master Yan continue: "Cheng Huan is the only one left in the Cheng family, I see that he is usually lonely, so I called him home, he is also here for dinner today, and you will ...... You have a better attitude towards him! ”
