Chapter 111: Sticky
The military generals guarded the border passes, and their families stayed in Kyoto.
It is a rule left over from the previous dynasty.
It's just that today, this rule is basically abolished.
When the DPRK and Chinese generals go out to fight, they will not bring their families with them.
But if they are in the same place, they will stay for several years, and their families will naturally follow them.
The Fan family can be said to be a typical example among military generals.
The family has guarded the border for generations, the husband and wife have gone to the battlefield, and the heirs have stayed in Kyoto.
Although the world is peaceful now, the border is not as good as elsewhere.
In the shadow of swords, guns and swords, no one knows when the accident will happen.
Therefore, it is very normal to leave a little blood for the family.
Originally, the generation of the Fan family was destined to stay in Kyoto, and the person who couldn't go elsewhere was Fan Zeyu.
However, now Fan Zeyu was able to go to the border because of the discovery of the gold mine.
The Fan family naturally wanted to replace the people who stayed in Kyoto.
Here I have to explain who the current family members of the Fan family are.
The grandfather-generation General Fan is still alive and well, and his wife is also a heroine.
His fathers, Fan Zetang and Fan Zeliang, were not as good as their own parents at the border, but they were also characters who could make the enemy fearful.
There are actually many children of the Fan family who are the same generation as Xie Huaining and Xie Huaian.
Uncle Fan Zetang has two sons and a daughter, and his youngest child is also two years older than Xie Huai'an.
If the person who returned to Kyoto was his child, it wouldn't be so much.
But there are always things that don't work out as expected.
Sent back to Kyoto was the only son of their second uncle Fan Zeliang, Fan Ximao, who had just passed the age of one, and he also had a nickname Mao Mao.
Xie Huaining is the eldest son in the family, and he always has more things to think about than Xie Huai'an.
Like a new cousin.
Other things can be left aside for the time being, and the most important thing now is the little cousin's weekly banquet.
Xie Huaining said, "Mao Mao's birthday is April 22, and he has not been able to pass the border or Kyoto, but has passed it on the way back to Kyoto." โ
Hurrying while on the road.
Under the wind and rain, who remembers the date of the child's birthday!
Maomao is a child who has just been weaned, and it has been a lot of effort to find a bite to eat for him when he is on the road.
How could he prepare something extra for him on his birthday!
"The first birthday banquet will not be held again, but the weekly banquet must be prepared."
Xie Huaining is obviously the same age as Wen Huan, and he is a young man who has never agreed to kiss, but he inexplicably took the place of Mrs. Xie, worried about various matters of Mao Mao, and lived the life of a father in advance.
Speaking of Mao Mao, Xie Huaining couldn't help but cast his eyes on Xie Huai'an on the side.
People have to pay attention to fate.
The little cousin is so young that he can't even speak.
He left abruptly from his father's mother, and when he arrived in Kyoto, a place 108,000 miles away from his father's mother, he didn't even have a familiar face around him.
Don't think that children don't know anything when they're young, in fact, they will also have the feeling of being afraid.
However, somehow, he and Xie Huai'an fell in love with each other.
Obviously, when they met for the first time at the city gate, Mao Mao was still crying in Xie Huai'an's arms.
Who knew that when he returned to Xie Mansion, he actually became the only one who recognized Xie Huai'an.
When he met someone else who wanted to hug him, Mao Mao was crying at the top of his throat, and he refused to ask for anyone except Xie Huai'an.
It's the same when eating.
In the same bowl of egg custard, Mao Mao was only willing to eat the spoonful that Xie Huai'an fed, and everyone else stuffed the spoon into his mouth, and he refused to even open his mouth.
The little head shook like a rattle.
When they left early this morning, Maomao was still asleep.
I don't know if he will cry a lot when he wakes up and finds that Xie Huai'an is not around.
Xie Huaining tugged on the reins in his hand, wanting the scene when Mao Mao was crying, and couldn't help but open his mouth to call Xie Huai'an.
"An An, should we bring Mao Mao to the academy together, otherwise he won't see you when he wakes up, so he keeps crying, so what can we do?"
Xie Huai'an didn't expect that he would still be able to see Xie Huaining's mother-in-law side.
However, he didn't think it was interesting.
He didn't like the new little cousin very much, either.
Even if the kid only wanted to stick to him, he didn't like it.
He listened carefully for a while, and suddenly said, "I seem to hear Ah Yu calling me, let me go over and see what is going on with her?" โ
The boy turned around on horseback, and in the blink of an eye went to the side of the carriage.
The two brothers who stayed where they were were were at a loss.
Why didn't they hear Ah Yu's voice?
Wen Huan's face darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He clenched the horsewhip in his hand and wanted to turn back to the side of the carriage immediately, but Xie Huai'an's sighing voice interrupted his movements.
"An An has never changed in this regard since she was a child!"
He began to tell Wen Huan about Xie Huai'an's childhood.
Some of them he had told Wen Huan before, and some of them had never been said.
The age difference between Xie Huaining and Xie Huai'an is a bit big, when Xie Huai'an was born, Xie Huaining had already reached the age of Xiaoshi.
When Xie Huai'an was as old as Maomao now, he was also very recognizable.
He doesn't like to be held in his arms, and he doesn't like to follow his father and mother, so he only likes to stick to Xie Huaining's side.
As long as Xie Huaining left for more than a quarter of an hour, he would inevitably cry at the top of his throat.
Once Xie Huaining went to Wen Huan's house as a guest.
I can't remember the time between plays, and when I go back, it's already dinner time.
And Xie Huai'an didn't see him for a day.
During this day, Xie Huai'an had been crying and refused to eat, and when Xie Huaining saw him, he couldn't cry anymore.
"He was young and ignorant at that time, and as long as he couldn't see me, he kept crying." Xie Huaining thought of his younger brother when he was a child, and the smile on his face was a little softer for no reason.
He smiled and asked Wen Huan, "Do you remember when we first arrived at the academy, it was clear that the academy had always been forbidden to bring people, but I brought five or six in a row!" โ
Of course Wen Huan remembers.
He glanced at Xie Huaining beside him, then looked back at Xie Huai'an, and saw that he had no extra movements, so he replied to Xie Huaining's words.
"At that time, I also complained to my grandfather that I couldn't make a special case for you."
There's no way, whoever let their little girl stick to him is indeed sticky to him, but it's not to the point where he won't stop if he can't see him.
And Xie Huaining's family is different.
So in the first two years of the academy, when Xie Huaining was studying in the academy, he would always have a little cub by his side.
To be honest, Xie Huai'an was still very obedient when he was a child.
The gentleman in the school was lecturing, and he slept obediently underneath, without noise or noise.
When Xie Huai'an reached the age of three and knew some truths, he obediently went back to Kyoto, and no longer clamored to stay by Xie Huaining's side.
Xie Huaining suddenly sighed, "I don't know if I developed a bad habit when I was a child, An An, he didn't like to read at all later." โ
It's not just that I don't like it!
Xie Huai'an obviously couldn't help but doze off as soon as he arrived at the school.
Wen Huan thought of the swaddling clothes he had seen at the city gate yesterday.
suddenly asked, "The new kid in your family won't be like Xie Huai'an at the beginning, right?" โ
If he sticks to Xie Huai'an just like Xie Huai'an sticks to Xie Huaining, then wouldn't the academy have another little cub who doesn't know anything.
Most children have a hard time controlling their emotions.
Although Xie Huai'an kept quiet most of the time when he was a child, there were times when his emotions were out of control.
But when that time comes, Mr. will inevitably 'expell' both the Xie brothers from the school, after all, they can't let the two of them quarrel with other students.
Although it's actually already noisy.
Xie Huaining was a little unsure.
"Mao Mao only arrived in Kyoto yesterday, only one day, I can't tell what his temperament is like!"
Although he said that, in fact, Xie Huaining was already ready to go to Old Lady Wen.
This little cousin of his, Shiyou, has the same temperament as An An, and he must have followed him to the White Horse Academy in the end.
Wen Huan's face became very strange, but he quickly returned to normal.
What does it matter!
He will not study in the same room as Xie Huai'an, and the child will not be able to make noise about him whether he is crying or making trouble.
After relaxing, Wen Huan looked at the Wen family's courtyard close at hand, looked back at Xie Huai'an, who was still beside Ayu's carriage, and finally did not step forward to separate the two.
It's already in place, and the next two are about to part ways, so why should he be this bad guy!
When Ah Yu was eating snacks in the carriage, he suddenly felt that the light in the carriage was a little dim.
Looking at the window on the side, the shadows of the trees and the figures of the people were mixed together, all reflected in the car window.
"Brother?"
Ah Yu opened his mouth in confusion.
The shadows in the sun are always unpredictable.
And there are more shadows of trees as far as Ah Yu can see.
The reason why she opened her mouth to call Wen Huan was only because she heard a few more horse sounds outside the carriage, and it was not from the horse that was driving the car now.
In Ah Yu's reflection, the people who would appear silently next to her carriage were no one else except Wen Huan.
What's more, on the way back to the other courtyard, there should have been only her and Wen Huan.
At this time, Ah Yu had forgotten all the voice of Xie Huai'an that he heard in his half-dream.
Xie Huai'an was stunned for a moment.
He was indeed a little older than Ah Yu, but Ah Yu always called him by his first name.
The title 'Brother' seems to refer to her brother in particular!
Xie Huai'an looked ahead hesitantly, just when Wen Huan looked back at him.
When the four eyes met, Xie Huaian didn't know what to think, and suddenly turned his head to talk to Ah Yu in the carriage.
"I'm Xie Huai'an."
The implication is that he is not Wen Huan anymore.
Ah Yu silently withdrew the hand that was about to push the window.
If the person outside the carriage is Wen Huan, she can be coquettish again, and if the brother is in a good mood, she can go out to ride a horse!
However, the current reality is that the person who spoke to her was not Wen Huan, but Xie Huai'an.
Ah Yu told Xie Huai'an that he wanted to go out for horseback riding, and Xie Huai'an would definitely not have the idea of refusing.
But he can't be the lord of A, so why bother!
It's a long way, you can't go out, and it's good to have someone to talk to!
So, in the next journey, Ah Yu chatted with Xie Huai Andong and chatted all the way to the door of the Wen family's courtyard.
Ah Yu got out of the carriage and looked at Xie Huai'an, who was about to turn around to the academy, and caught a glimpse of Wen Huan with a somewhat strange face on the side.
She turned her head to Xie Huai'an and said, "Now it's time for lunch, you go back to the academy now, you can't eat anything delicious, it's better to stay and have lunch and then go back to the academy!" โ
Although White Horse Academy has a self-funded canteen, the canteen will no longer entertain students after meals.
If the Xie brothers go back to the academy now, they will be lucky enough to be able to catch the cafeteria when it finally closes, but if they are unlucky, they will have to pass the lunch with some snacks indiscriminately, and when it is evening, they will be able to have a serious meal.
Of course, the above is not the reason why Ah Yu took the initiative to call Xie Huai'an.
She just suddenly felt something in her heart and felt that Xie Huai'an should be left behind.
It's a very abrupt feeling, but it's impossible to ignore.
And Ah Yu also wanted to take this opportunity to quietly feel something about his sudden 'heart', whether it could come in handy.
It was something she had never experienced in her dreams.
Wen Ru in her dreams never had a 'feeling in her heart', she just relied on her intuition.
It's just that her intuition is always ineffective, which is a headache.
Should I stay?
Xie Huai'an didn't feel that this was something he could call the shots.
He consciously looked at his brother who was standing beside Wen Huan.
Xie Huaining considered the actual situation, and set his expectant eyes on Wen Huan, he was going to agree, but he didn't know if the other person present was willing to agree.
The people who thought they would be able to part ways when they arrived at the door not only did not leave, but they even wanted to stay and eat.
And the little girl mentioned the rice first.
Wen Huan pulled his lips and showed a stiff smile, and said, "Since you want to eat, you all stand at the door to do something, our family doesn't have the habit of standing at the door to eat." โ
As he spoke, Ah Yu's eyes unconsciously drifted to the porter behind him.
It's still the same person she saw last time she came back from the hot รท book club in the academy, and he also has a bowl of rice in his hand today!
It's just that at this time, the rice bowl was secretly hidden under the belly of the stone lion at the door, as long as you don't bend down and squat down to look, you can't see the rice bowl.
Ah Yu watched the porter secretly hide his rice bowl.
That's right, too.
If Brother Elder Brother turns around and sees his porter holding a rice bowl in his hand, then what he just said will not become a joke!
Ah Yu thought wildly in his heart, and soon walked to his brother's side.
She took Wen Huan's arm and said with a light smile, "Then let's go in quickly, I'm a little hungry, and I don't know if the kitchen has prepared meals in advance!" โ
The subordinates of the other courtyard knew the habits of their masters, and they also knew that Ah Yu and they would return to the other courtyard at lunchtime.
It's sooner or later, but it's always in that time.
Naturally, they were already ready for the meal.
Mrs. Wen went to the academy today, and the only people who had lunch together in the other courtyard were the Wen brothers and sisters and the Xie brothers.
Because several people were already familiar with each other, they did not use the screen when they were dining in the Hanging Flower Hall.
There is only one table of meals, and there is no extravagance and waste to prepare a table of meals for Ah Yu alone.
