In fact, there is nothing to compare between the two.

After Fan Ximao left, Ah Yu stood alone by the window for a long time.

The cold winter has not passed, and the wind blowing in her face carries a gust of coldness, and Ah Yu smells the breath of ice and snow, which is cold to the bone, and she can't help but think of Wen Ru.

The elder brother likes the tenacity of the plum blossom, but also likes its arrogance, and prefers Lu Fangweng's poem, so he gave her the name of Wen Rugu. It's just that she can't be Ling Feng Aoxue's Mei, and she is already sleeping in the cold winter, which is only one step away from the new spring.

"Why did the girl stand on the tuyere, in this cold day, you have to pay attention to your body!" Aoba entered the door to check if the charcoal fire in the brazier was still burning, but before he saw the brazier, he saw Ah Yu by the window.

The cold wind blew the broken hair on her cheeks, and her eyes were downcast, and her gaze fell somewhere in the courtyard.

Aoba hurriedly brought a rabbit down cloak to Ah Yu, and she followed Ah Yu's line of sight and happened to see the dead grass next to the bluestone path, and couldn't help frowning.

The maid-in-law is too undedicated, and they can't even do such a simple job as cleaning the yard.

Ah Yu suddenly asked Aoba: "I remember the last time I went to greet my mother, she seemed to have said that Brother Ah was coming back soon, right?" ”

Every time Ah Yu went to Mrs. Wen's courtyard, she would bring Qingye and Qingrui with her, she couldn't remember things clearly, as long as Qingye and Qingrui also heard it, she would naturally be able to give her an answer.

Aoba thought carefully and said, "The young master sent a letter back not long ago, saying that he had spent Chinese New Year's Eve in Yunzhou and was ready to leave for Kyoto. If the weather is good on the road, we will be back in mid-February. ”

If you can come back in mid-February, the marriage date between the brother and the girl of the Song family may be earlier, maybe it can be done between the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ah Yu thought about what he had asked from Fan Ximao's mouth earlier, and he knew much more clearly than what Wen Ru had hearsay.

It was also after listening to his statement that Ah Yu thought of the rumors that Wen Rugu had heard, and they could not be true.

Maybe the border pass she heard about was actually not the fortress guarded by the Pei family, but the Fan family's, but now she can't find a way to verify it, so she can only avoid the hidden danger as much as possible.

According to what Fan Ximao said, the fighting at the border pass did not break out until the end of this year, which means that she still has time to prepare.

It is also a pity that there is still such a long time to prepare, otherwise just persuading Third Lady Wen would have been enough for her to have a headache.

It can't be just like what Fan Ximao said, let's cut first and then play!

If she dared to cut first and then play, Mrs. Wen would dare to chase after her single-handedly to stop her, and Ah Yu would not dare to underestimate Mrs. Wen's determination.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

Aoba paused and asked her, "Why is the girl so decent, and she began to sigh again, isn't there something uncomfortable?" ”

The girls have always been delicate and frail, and maybe the cold wind blew a little more just now, and there will be signs of illness at this time.

Ah Yu let Aoba close the window next to him, and said softly: "Aoba said that if I plan to go far away, will my mother agree?" ”

Aoba was puzzled: "Earlier, Mrs. sent someone to send the girl to Weizhou for summer vacation, and the girl was full of reluctance, why did she suddenly have the intention of going far away at this time?" ”

She thought about it, and after secretly looking left and right, she attached it to Ah Yu's ear and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the girl worried that after the young master marries, the old lady will ignore the girl." If you want me to say, the girl doesn't have to worry about such a trivial matter, the old lady and the young master, what kind of people they are, the girl has always been clear, and the girl came back last time, didn't she say that the girl of the Song family is also very friendly to you! ”

"When she marries into the Wen Mansion, Mrs., they will not lose their love for you, but there will be one more person who will be good to the girl, and the girl really doesn't need to hide out because of this......"

Ah Yu pursed her lips and did not speak.

Although what Aoba said was not something she was thinking about now, she did think that way in the past.

I thought about how my brother's future wife would deal with herself if she didn't like her.

Counting the memories of Wen Ru's life, she can also say that she has seen a lot of people, and she already knows the final journey of life, and it is often not parents and children who can accompany her, nor brothers and sisters, but husbands and wives who are not related by blood.

She had envisioned the worst-case scenario, that of a rebellion against her family.

But for her, it's still within the acceptable range.

After all, there is love to have hate, and it is better to be hated than to be left alone to face the sinister world.

She has always been on the side of protection, but when she was still gentle, she was forced to change her identity without the slightest defense, she couldn't cry when she was in pain, and she couldn't show her vulnerability in front of others, just because she was an older sister and had to protect her younger brother, who was still very young.

Now that her father and brother are here, even if they really hate her for other reasons in the future, at least they are still there.

And things don't necessarily go for the worst.

The corners of Ah Yu's mouth rose slightly, making the green leaves on the side almost stunned.

How good-looking his own girl is, Aoba is naturally clear, but the moment the girl laughed just now, it gave people the illusion of purifying all beings, just like the statue of the god high in the temple, only fixed on one expression, casually looking at the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world, but in fact, it didn't put it on his heart at all.

"Naturally, I won't leave home for that reason," Ah Yu took a sip of tea and spoke slowly, "Look at the family of a girl who is married to a woman in Kyoto, who can go out casually." If I don't take advantage of the time when my parents can be as I want, go around to relax, is it difficult to wait until the future to get married, and then look at the faces of others! ”

There are many reasons to want to go far away, and you can easily find many of them, although it may not be enough to persuade her in front of Mrs. Wen, but it is enough to tell Aoba to listen.

Ah Yu waved his hand and walked to the study again.

I only heard her say: "I have to go through the travelogues that my brother gave me, and when my brother gets married, I can go out to play with peace of mind, and enjoy the scenery along the way, and I can also buy some interesting things in other places and send them back to Kyoto......"

She spoke happily, as if she had seen the happy scene in the future.

When the door to the study was closed, she sat down at her desk and rubbed her slightly stiff cheeks vigorously.

Suddenly, she felt that this was a good reason to go out.

On the day Wen Huan returned, the branches were already glowing with new green, and there was a light rain on the horizon.

The carriage of the accompanying people was still waiting for inspection at the city gate, and Wen Huan had already ridden back to the house first.

He had also sent a letter to his home earlier, and he had already returned home before the time for returning home as written in the letter.

The guards were still wondering how someone would knock on the door of the Wen Mansion in the middle of the afternoon, but as soon as they opened the door, they saw the third young master who was supposed to be studying abroad, and they were overjoyed and surprised.

After turning over and dismounting, Wen Huan handed over the whip and horse rope in his hand to the subordinates on the side, and he didn't need them to rush into the house to report, so he walked towards his own yard with a pair of long legs.

Under the long journey, he was covered in dust, even if there were thousands of people in his heart who wanted to see his father and sister, but he still pressed many thoughts in his heart, washed up first, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then walked towards the backyard.

When the news of Wen Huan's return reached Ah Yu's courtyard, Ah Yu was lying on the side of the bed retching.

After Chinese New Year's Eve, she still had a little more hope in her heart, thinking that after raising a plush by her side, she would no longer have to bear the injuries that Wen Ru had suffered, and she would not die young like her.

However, because of the little uncertainty in her heart, she was not only happy, but also retained a little reason, and imagined a worse situation for herself.

And when bad things come, they always attract more attention than good things.

A few days ago, Ah Yu was happy that he had escaped a cold, and now a new illness was born.

Wen Ru's wind and cold have been going back and forth, so Duan Yuzhi found a new doctor for her from outside, and the new doctor made her take two pairs of medicines, and the wind cold was directly cured.

It's just that after the wind and cold healed, new problems appeared in her body, and she couldn't eat meat anymore.

At that time, it was the seventeenth year of Yong'an, Wen Rugu was still keeping filial piety for her father, and the meals she ate on weekdays were vegetarian dishes, which she originally thought so.

When she had a new problem with her body, the food from the kitchen was placed on the table, and her chopsticks hadn't moved yet, so she couldn't help but retch.

Not to mention how frightened everyone in Duan Mansion was by her actions, only what was found out later made Duan Fu directly betray many people.

But it turned out to be a cook lady in the kitchen of Duanfu, and the cook lady was famous for her first-hand vegetarian dishes in the house, and after being found out, she realized that the reason why her vegetarian dishes were delicious was actually because she put soup stock in the dishes.

The ingredients used to make the broth are all kinds of meat.

Wen Ruyu didn't know what happened to the cook, but after she knew the truth of the matter, she couldn't help but bury herself in the quilt and cried all night, her eyes were swollen from crying.

Ah Su really thought that it was because of raising Fubao that she avoided the wind and cold on Chinese New Year's Eve, but now that Fubao is still in her yard, the problems that Wen Ru once suffered are still following her like a shadow, which makes people very unhappy.

Inexplicably, Ah Yu thought of what Fan Ximao said at the beginning.

He said that Xie Huaian didn't like Su Mingzhe because Su Mingzhe almost talked about marriage with her.

If you think about it, many things in this world are interconnected.

Even if the future that Fan Ximao saw was not completely connected with the present they were in, some things were definitely interconnected, but his future 'Ah Yu' was luckier than her, although he changed his surname, he didn't lose more because of it.

Unlike Ah Yu, in order to change the lives of her father and brother, she has long been prepared to die young.

That's a bit of a stretch to say.

Ah Yu's previous abnormalities in the circle on the paper included Su Mingzhe.

Although she really didn't want things to go in that direction, the fact now was that after she met Su Mingzhe, her connection with Wen Rugu was severed once.

She couldn't say what was special around Su Mingzhe, and she didn't even know if her change was because of Su Mingzhe, or if it was just a fantasy when she identified Fubao before.

And when Fan Ximao came to visit her two days ago, he mentioned Su Mingzhe, and I heard that he was going to go out to practice with the elders of the family as a staff member, and when he came back from the experience, he could directly serve in the court.

If you don't experience this kind of thing for three or five years, I'm afraid you won't see results.

In other words, if Ah Yu wants to see Su Mingzhe again, and take the opportunity to meet to cut off his connection with Wen Ru, I'm afraid it's not so simple.

Maybe there will be such an opportunity in the next two or three months, but after Su Mingzhe leaves Kyoto, there will be no more opportunities.

Su Mingzhe is not Xie Huai'an, and Ah Yu has no reason to go all the way to him.

Unless she can have more contact with Su Mingzhe before this, such as getting married.

But for the sake of an illusory conjecture, he gambled on his life's events, and Ah Yu was reluctant.

She never thought about getting married again, even Xie Huai'an she didn't want to marry, let alone Su Mingzhe, who she didn't like so much!

Ah Yu took a sip of white water from Qingrui's hand, suppressed the nausea in his throat, and turned his head to look at the shadows that were swaying back and forth at the door.

"Aoba, don't dangle at the door, my head is a little dizzy......"

Aoba heard Ah Yu's voice, and when he looked up, he saw that Ah Yu's state seemed to be much better, so he stepped forward to speak.

"Girl, the person from the gatehouse came over and said that the young master has returned."

Ah Yu sat up straight in an instant, and even the discomfort that Fang had been unable to disperse seemed to have improved a lot, and she looked at Aoba in surprise: "Didn't you say that Brother Ah will be back in a few days?" ”

On the surface, she was still asking, but in fact, she had already gotten up and asked Qingrui to dress her up, and she was about to go to Mrs. Wen's courtyard to meet her brother.

She knew that the first thing Wen Huan did after coming back was to go back to her yard to freshen up first, so she was not very anxious, and felt that the time was still enough.

Aoba stood aside and watched Qingrui pull her hair for Ah Yu, and replied: "I heard from the porter that the young master came back on horseback, maybe after arriving at the border of Kyoto, the young master took the lead, and there were no other burdens, so he came back earlier than expected!" ”

Of course, it is also possible that Wen Huan calculated some more time when estimating the time, and this was the deviation.

Ah Yu pursed her lips in the mirror, and saw that her lips were no longer pale, so she got up and walked towards the courtyard of Mrs. Wen.

Qingrui was originally following behind Ah Yu, but at this time, she was half a beat slower, and filled a few preserved fruits from the plate on the side into her purse, and then hurriedly followed.

She didn't forget the girl's retching during this time, after Dr. Yang came to check the girl's pulse, he said that the girl retched because of a long-term irregular diet that hurt her stomach, so she would smell the smell of food and retch. He didn't prescribe medicine to the girl, but only asked someone to bring some preserved fruits, and gave the kitchen some medicinal recipes.
