An Huajin stayed in the study for a long time, until it was almost dark, she finished reading all the important business folds that An Ping picked out, she put down her pen, stretched her waist, glanced out of the window, and while beating her shoulder, she asked, "It's been this hour, why haven't people come back yet?" โ
An Ping knew who An Huajin was asking, and stood up with a smile, "The little county lord has been tired for a long time, let's rest!" I'm going to ask Gu Qigongzi why he hasn't come back yet? โ
"I'm afraid I'm being dragged down by Shen Yuanzhi." An Huajin stood up, stood in front of the window, smiled and waved his hand, "You go and ask!" If he was dragged by Shen Yuanzhi, he wouldn't wait for him to have dinner. โ
Anping walked out.
An Huajin stood in front of the window and looked out of the window, although the Nanyang Mansion was surrounded by walls, it was very empty everywhere, especially this study, it was an isolated pavilion, and there was not even a shade to cover it everywhere, the window was open, and the cool breeze in the autumn blew in directly, which was very strong, but it still made her feel refreshed after being tired for a long time.
Sure enough, Nanyang City, where she grew up since she was a child, is more comfortable than the capital at home where she didn't stay much before.
After a while, An Ping walked back, "Little county lord, as you expected, Gu Qigongzi was dragged by General Shen Xiao, saying that he stayed in the barracks to drink, and came back later, Cui Gongzi came back first, and now he is in the old prince's residence." โ
An Huajin nodded, "Okay, then let's go to Grandpa's residence for dinner!" Leave him alone. โ
Anping his head.
The two went out of the study together and went to the courtyard of the old Nanyang King.
came to the courtyard of the old Nanyang King, and sure enough, Cui Zhuo had returned, and the old Nanyang King was waiting for them to come for dinner.
Seeing An Huajin keep beating his shoulders, the old Nanyang King couldn't help but stare again, "Why are you so squeamish?" โ
An Huajin was helpless, "Grandpa, don't you always stare at me when you see me?" Even if I am squeamish, I am still in the capital, if you hadn't driven me to the capital earlier, I wouldn't be so squeamish now. โ
"Stinky girl, why don't you say that Huai'an spoiled you?" The old king of Nanyang was dissatisfied.
Anhua Jin laughed angrily.
Who is spoiling whom? Gu Qingyan is afraid that she is spoiled, right?
She sat down, smiled at Cui Zhuo and asked, "Brother Cui Shi, you also went to the barracks today?" Shen Yuanzhi pulled Huai'an, what was he doing in the barracks? โ
"Sister Ann has changed her old name, do you want me to change it?" Cui Zhuo suddenly asked.
An Huajin blinked quickly, "Brother Cui Shi can change it if he wants to, if he doesn't want to change it, he will call it according to his old knowledge." After a pause, she apologized apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Cui Shi." โ
I'm sorry, An Huajin didn't say anything, but Cui Zhuo understood.
The old name was changed from her, and the reason was naturally to avoid suspicion at a distance that was not far away.
Cui Zhuo lowered his head, paused, raised it again, and smiled gently, "I'm still used to calling Sister An, since Sister An said so, I won't change it." You don't have to apologize to me. โ
An Huajin pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded with a smile.
Cui Zhuo replied to An Huajin's words, "Brother Shen Xian took Brother Gu to see the formation of troops, and went to the armory for a turn, and then, seeing that it was getting late, he pulled him to drink, and Ben also pulled me to come, but I still had to go back to the house to send Grandpa An an urgent military excerpt, so I came back early." โ
"What excerpt?"
"The excerpt that the Ministry of War just came today, I haven't read the content, and I've handed it over to Grandpa An."
An Huajin turned to the old Nanyang Wang, "Grandpa, what did you say about the excerpt from the military department?" โ
The old Nanyang King had been listening to the two of them and had not expressed any opinions, but now when he saw An Huajin asking him, he said with a stiff face, "What else can it be?" Isn't the six boys of the Wang family in the military department? Say hello to me. โ
"Hello to you, is it the expedited of the military department?" An Huajin raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't it?" The old Nanyang King snorted, "This kid, I didn't have a good heart, I obviously said hello to me, but in fact, it was to prepare me." โ
An Huajin snorted lightly, "What tricks does he have?" Just do it. โ
Old Nanyang Wang said, "This Wang Liulang is a character." โ
Cui Zhuo looked at An Huajin and frowned, "Wang Jialiulang, he is loyal to His Majesty, who is he secretly taking refuge in?" โ
"I don't know." An Huajin shook his head, "I've been thinking, who can drive a person like Wang Anzhi?" The second prince has been given death, the third prince has lost power, the fourth prince and the fifth prince are not brilliant, due to the limitations of foreign forces, there is nothing to do, the sixth prince has been demoted to the common people, my seventh cousin He naturally does not take refuge, otherwise he will not kill me repeatedly, although King Jing has the opportunity to calculate, but the age is there, in the end it is still tender, Wang An does not know that he will take refuge in him, as for the rest of the princes who are younger than King Jing, it is not enough for him to see in his eyes. Didn't he secretly choose a new master? What you did was to go against Gu Qingyan? โ
"He and Brother Gu have a long-standing grudge?"
"How long has it been? Since childhood, they have fought each other and refused to admit defeat. An Huajin held his chin, too lazy to guess, "I'm back in Nanyang now, but I'm curious, what else can he do to help His Majesty, I'm looking forward to it." โ
Old Nanyang King: "......"
Stinky girl, he is old, he really can't help but toss, how she likes to toss, how to toss.
After dinner, An Ping went to the study, An Huajin didn't plan to go to the study again, so he sat with the old prince for a while, and then went out of the old prince's courtyard with Cui Zhuo.
By this time, it was completely dark.
Before An Huajin went out, he handed Cui Zhuo a lamp, and he also picked up one, the yard where Cui Zhuo lived was a part of the road with An Huajin's yard, so the two walked back together.
An Huajin felt that he should say something to Cui Zhuo, but he didn't know how to speak. Although the last time they settled in the old house in Beijing, the two of them said it clearly, but now, when they return to Nanyang, they always feel that there are some things that may not be said yet.
After walking more than a dozen steps, An Huajin didn't think of how to speak properly.
Cui Zhuo laughed first, stopped, looked at An Huajin with a lamp, like an old acquaintance, laughed at her like a brother, "The little girl is thoughtful, I used to think that you are a simple-minded, in addition to the beliefs and ambitions since childhood, with the Nanyang Army in your heart, and the tens of millions of people in Dachu living and working in peace and contentment, you don't pretend to be anything, but now it seems that it is not, or I take you too lightly." โ
An Huajin blinked his eyes and smiled, "In the past, I was really targeted by Brother Cui Shi, but now that I have grown up, my heart is naturally more complicated, and it is not so simple." โ
"This is also the case with me, right?" Cui Zhuo looked at her.
An Huajin shook his head, "No, Brother Cui Shi is down, I am not a person who is entangled, if I thought you were troublesome, I would not have agreed to you to come to Nanyang to join the Nanyang Army, I just feel that I feel ashamed of Brother Cui Shi." โ
"Sister An, you don't have to be ashamed, you don't have to feel that you don't live with me, I can understand very well, any man will not be happy that you and I are called according to the old acquaintance, changing it from you is the most correct choice, for me, I just want to stubbornly keep this title." Cui Zhuo whispered, "Keeping this title, perhaps, can't become a thought, but at least, it retains the things I want to protect the most in my heart." โ
I kept the things I wanted to protect the most!
With such a humble extravagance, An Huajin felt uncomfortable, but she still smiled and whispered, "In my life, I can't repay one ten-thousandth of Brother Cui Shi, but I can assure you that when we were children, what I said to you, the only ambition and belief, I will not change, and I will be able to stick to it with you." โ
Cui Zhuo smiled, pure without a trace of impurities, and nodded with a smile, "Okay." โ
After saying that, the next words of the two were much more relaxed and natural.
When he came to the fork in the road, Cui Zhuo turned the road and walked towards the courtyard where he lived, and An Huajin watched his figure disappear around the corner, but he still sighed softly.
Behind him, the sound of familiar footsteps could be heard.
An Huajin turned around, only to see Gu Qingyan walking in the night, she stood in place with a lamp, waiting for him to approach, and asked with a smile, "I thought Shen Yuanzhi was going to drag you to drink until midnight, but I didn't expect to come back so early." โ
Gu Qingyan glanced at her, glanced in the direction Cui Zhuo left, then looked down at her, and said in a low voice, "He has returned to his yard, you are still standing here, what are you doing?" โ
"I'm waiting for you."
Gu Qingyan chuckled, took a step forward, took her hand, walked towards An Huajin's courtyard, and replied to her words, "Shen Yuanzhi didn't drink much, no wonder every time he drank with you, he was the one who got drunk first." โ
An Huajin smiled, "Old Madam Shen can get drunk with a glass of fruit wine, fortunately, Old Madam Shen can drink it, there are a lot of them, he has inherited some of them, if he follows Old Madam Shen, he will also pour a cup, when I was a child, I often joked about him." โ
