Chapter 50 We will meet one day
Qingxuan looked depressed early in the morning, looking absent-minded.
Yan Ran saw from the bronze mirror that her face was gloomy, and she seemed to be angry with someone, so she asked, "What's wrong, who provoked you?" ”
Qingxuan finally couldn't help it, and chattered: "Girl, you don't know, the master had such a big fire last night, but this morning, the master came out of the lady's room again!" The two talked and laughed, not at all like they had quarreled, and they had breakfast with the second girl! The second girl slandered your reputation outside, and the tired old man lost face, but the old man forgave her so quickly, picked it up high, and put it down gently, it's really unfair! ”
Yan Ran shook her head and said helplessly: "What's wrong with you, shouldn't this kind of thing be seen a long time ago." ”
Qingxuan said angrily: "But if this happens to you, the master may not know how to punish you!" Why is the master so partial to the second girl? ”
Yan Ran smiled, but her eyes were full of coldness, and she said slowly: "With the Wen family, there is also the backer of the eldest princess of Minyang!" ”
Qingxuan paused, and a beautiful little face immediately collapsed.
But soon, she remembered something again, and said happily: "If you talk about backing, the girl also has it, and my uncle is a general guarding the border pass!" ”
Thinking of her uncle, Yan Ran's face softened a little.
Yan Ran's parents died early, and in order to raise her younger brother to grow up, she delayed her marriage age, but it was later than her younger brother getting married.
When Yan Ran was young, an army came here to recruit soldiers, and his uncle signed up, followed the army to the border of Beining City, starting from the lowest soldiers, accumulating military merits, and climbed to the position of a guard step by step.
The uncle took root in Bac Ninh, and the aunt followed with a pair of children.
In the following years, Yan Ran never saw them again, that is, when the Zhang family died, his uncle also failed to return to mourn because of the chaos of foreign tribes on the border.
In her previous life, Yan Ran thought that her mother had died, and her contact with her uncle's family would be broken.
Later, she learned that her uncle wrote to her every year and asked someone to bring her money and many items, but Wen intercepted her and never told her, until she got married, and she had contact with her uncle again.
Later, the uncle and father died in battle, and the uncle and mother mourned and followed, leaving only the cousin, who led hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Bac Ninh as a daughter, supporting the defense of the entire border and guarding the peace of the country for more than ten years.
But such a brave middle school husband, in the end, in order to save her, died under the sword of the new emperor.
Yan Ran thought about this, and the chaotic thoughts came to her heart together, she regretted it sourly, and sighed lightly: "Uncle is far away at the border, and the whip is out of reach, so my father naturally doesn't take this relationship seriously." ”
After Yan Ran finished speaking, she instructed Qingxuan to prepare paper and ink and write a letter to her uncle.
With the gratitude and affection of the two generations, Yan Ran wrote several pages freely before putting down the pen.
Yan Ran wrote the letter, sealed the letter again, and planned to go to the post station to ask someone to piggyback after school.
Qingxuan saw Yan Ran's eyes smiling, and she was also in a happy mood: "Girl, you should have been like this a long time ago." In the future, with the support of your uncle, the lord and his wife will not look at the monk's face but also look at the Buddha's face, and your life will always be better. ”
Qingxuan said, and her tone lowered again: "It's just that Anyang and Beining are on their own side, but you and your uncle don't know when we will have the opportunity to meet." ”
Yan Ran's eyes flashed slightly, and she muttered: "One day, we will definitely meet." ”
Yan Ran had breakfast and went out with Master Yan.
Master Yan wanted to go to the palace, and Yan Ran went directly to the school.
The father and daughter didn't have anything to say, and walked silently all the way to the door of the mansion.
Yan Ran said goodbye to Master Yan, but was stopped by him.
Yan Ran turned around, her face indifferent: "What does Dad command?" ”
Old Man Yan's expression was a little uncomfortable, and he looked away as if he was empty, and did not look directly at Yan Ran.
He knew that Yan Ran had been wronged, but he still connived at Yan Yao and did nothing for her.
He had always treated him differently like this before, and he didn't feel anything wrong, but today, for some reason, looking at Yan Ran's clear eyes, he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Master Yan wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, and finally searched all over his body, found a few taels of silver, and stuffed them all into Yan Ran's hands, and said, "Take it and buy something delicious." ”
Yan Ran took the silver and thanked him, and watched Master Yan walk away, his eyes full of coldness.
If it weren't for her efforts to turn the tide yesterday and bring him face, he probably wouldn't even have this sense of guilt!
Yan Ran handed the silver to Qingxuan and snorted disdainfully.
What is he when she is, does he remember to eat a three-year-old child who sticks it to a piece of candy? Scold.
Yan Ran got into the carriage, and Qingxuan said to her: "The second girl took leave today, so she sent someone to pass the word, so that the girl didn't have to wait for her." ”
Yan Ran snorted lightly: "She's quite smart, and she knows how to avoid the limelight." ”
After yesterday's incident, everyone knew that Yan Yao slandered Yan Ran, and she would definitely be regarded as a jealous of her eldest sister, narrow-minded, and abusive.
If she appeared in front of everyone at this time, wouldn't she be sent to the door to be poked in the back?
Although Master Yan let Yan Yao go for the sake of Wen's face, he still didn't want her to go out and lose face.
Yan Yao had asked for a closed door to think about it, but he was also happy to see it.
When Yan Ran came to the academy, she obviously found that everyone's attitude towards her was different, more gentle and more respectful than the previous indifference and yin and yang weirdness.
The girls are still young and simple-minded, and they were a little prejudiced against Yan Ran before, but they were mostly influenced by Yan Yao.
Now, Yan Ran has proved herself with her strength, and they naturally admire it.
Cui Jingshi is still as high as ever, accepting everyone's praise.
Although she failed to design Yan Ran, she gave her the opportunity to make a splash, and her heart was really angry.
But because of her yesterday's request for Emperor Sheng to read all the test papers before deciding on the leader, it whitewashed her previous mean reputation of slapping Yan Ran in public.
However, Cui Jingshi's tiredness and depression hidden in her eyes were still captured by Yan Ran.
Come to think of it, when she returned home yesterday, she must have been taught a lesson by Cui Gelao.
Yan Ran thought so, looked at Cui Jingshi from a distance, and raised a smile with smugness and contempt, which really made her angry, and her gentle face was almost tense.
When the hour was almost up, Xu Fuzi took the girls to the school field in the east chamber.
Because Emperor Sheng was going to come to watch the ceremony, the venue was rearranged and a place was reserved for Emperor Sheng and the hundred officials, and the girls' seats were crowded a lot, and they no longer sat according to the class and name, and they all sat together with the girls they had befriended.
Zhen Yu also found Yan Ran, shared a case with her, and put small snacks on the table, which really made a gesture of a spectator.
After Emperor Sheng led the Lingguo delegation and hundreds of officials to the scene, the martial arts test officially began.
The students were divided into groups, in groups of six, and the school examination was conducted at the same time, and the four masters were divided into two sides to invigilate the examination and record the results.
The first is archery, which examines five archery techniques, such as white arrows and senlian.
Xu is because he wants to behave well in front of the emperor, and Xu is because of the ardent eyes of the girls, the teenagers have shown their potential, and almost everyone is a hundred shots and a hundred steps.
They practiced archery on weekdays, and they always complained about it, felt bored, and always thought about the Fa to hide quietly, but now they have all become focused and resolute archers, which provokes the master's amazement.
Emperor Sheng looked at the high-spirited teenagers, was very pleased, and sighed: "Since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and I am a good man!" ”
The school field was full of the children of the officials present, and they were praised by Emperor Sheng, so they were naturally excited and echoed one after another.
Zhen Zhen was eating pastries and looking at them with great interest.
Yan Ran is not interested, just a group of little children, what is there to see.
Yan Ran couldn't help but think of Wen Rong'an in his previous life, unlike the cold and repulsive people who are thousands of miles away now, he loves to laugh.
Others seem to be afraid of him laughing because his smile is deep and unpredictable.
But Yan Ran likes to see his confident and flamboyant smile, the calmness of everything under control, and the arrogance of looking at the world, which is the most heartbreaking.
If such a man is in good health, urging his horse to whip and gallop across the country, what a heroic posture he must be.
Yan Ran was immersed in her fantasies, and suddenly heard Zhen Zhen say in surprise: "Why did Wen Gongzi also play?" ”
Yan Ran hurriedly looked over, and sure enough, he saw Wen Rongan standing on the school field with the others, adjusting his bow and arrows, and preparing for the test.
They also wore uniform student uniforms, but Yan Ran just felt that Wen Rongan was the most unique.
Who can have the demeanor of her cousin, the green shirt lotus flower, the moon is clear.
As if feeling Yan Ran's gaze, Wen Rong'an glanced over as if inadvertently, just colliding with her gaze.
He quickly withdrew his gaze, but Yan Ran saw a light smile in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel a little sweet in his heart.
But soon, Yan Ran became worried again, wondering if Wen Rong'an's body could withstand this kind of high-intensity examination.
After all, archery alone will test five items, the first item must penetrate the target, the second item must shoot four arrows in a row, and the third item must be hit by the bow and the arrow......
Yan Ran was really afraid that Wen Rongan would not be able to bear it, she was not afraid of his bad grades, she just hoped that he would not be injured.
Wen Rongan obviously didn't think so, if he wanted to do it, he naturally had to do his best, especially in front of Yan Ran.
He looked focused, bent his bow and arrows, drew a bow to the full, and shot it quickly.
Yan Ran stared nervously at the arrow that was as fast as a meteor breaking through the air, only to see that it hit the bull's-eye impartially, and penetrated the target, revealing the arrowhead.
The master in the distance shouted, "Medium! ”
Yan Ran immediately high-fived each other excitedly, even happier than winning the first place in the Wen test.
In the next few items, Wen Rongan completed them with excellent results, and Yan Ran felt honored on the one hand, but worried about his body on the other.
After the archery test is completed, after a short break, the next step is the imperial horse test school.
The eldest princess of Minyang suddenly spoke: "I heard that Princess Dan is good at riding and archery, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see Princess Dan's heroic posture today?" ”
When Emperor Sheng heard this, he also looked at it with interest.
Princess Dan grew up on a horse since she was a child, and she liked to dance with knives and swords, so she had no objection to this, so she said: "What the eldest princess said is exactly what I want, but it is boring to shoot arrows alone." The courtiers heard that the women of Shengguo also learned to ride and shoot, I wonder if there is a noble girl who is willing to have a discussion with me? ”
