Chapter 67: Less Time (1st Update)
An Huajin carried the lamp and walked back to her yard in the wind and snow, this way, she didn't know how long she had been walking since she was a child, but it was the first time, and she was not very willing to go back.
In her yard, there was Gu Qingyan's shadow everywhere, although he had lived in her yard for just a month.
Even this road back to her yard was covered with his shadow.
She walked more and more slowly, and after walking for a while, she simply turned around and walked towards the courtyard where her mother had lived.
Although her father and mother have been away for eight years, the courtyard has been well preserved, and there have always been people cleaning and taking care of it, so as not to let all the utensils fall into dust, and there are people guarding the door every day.
When she came to the courtyard where his father and mother lived, she raised her hand and knocked softly.
An old slave guarding the door inside opened the courtyard door, and when he saw that it was An Huajin, he was surprised, "Little county lord, why are you here?" ”
For many years, the little county lord has not been here late at night.
He still remembered that in the past, the young county lord sometimes ran home from the army in the middle of the night, saying that he missed his mother, so he broke into this courtyard regardless of it, and the prince was woken up, and he was helplessly angry and laughing, but he still gave her a place, went to the study to sleep, let the house out, let her get into the bed of the princess, and slept with the princess for one night.
How long ago was that?
The old slave thought about it at this time, and was in a trance for a while, his eyes were wet all of a sudden, and his voice was choked, "The old slave suddenly saw the little county lord coming, as if he had returned to many years ago, when the little county lord was a child, he almost ......"
almost called the princess and the princess, and the little princess secretly ran back from the army in the middle of the night.
It's a pity that the prince and the princess are long gone.
He, the lame old slave who cleaned the door, was also older.
An Huajin paused for a while, was also in a trance, smiled at the old slave, and said softly, "I miss my mother, I don't want to go back to live in my yard, I want to rest in my mother's house tonight." ”
The old slave nodded and let go of the door, "Little county lord, please, the house of the princess is cleaned every day, and the bedding is clean, but there is no charcoal fire, so the old slave will go and get a pot of charcoal fire, and then bring you two soup women to warm your feet." ”
An Huajin nodded, "Okay." ”
The old slave hurriedly went.
Anhua Jinjing went to the main house with the lamp, came to the door, pushed open the door, put down the lamp, and the inside was suddenly bright, the room was not spotless, and it was very well maintained.
An Huajin picked up the flint on the table, lit the oil lamp in the room, extinguished the lamp, and sat down at the table.
Her mother used to paint or write scriptures on this pear blossom wood table, his father sat on the first floor reading the military book, she was playful, lying on her mother's lap, holding a pen to make trouble for her, her mother drew a stroke, she also scribbled a stroke, her mother smiled helplessly, very tolerant of the re-sketching of the brush she scribbled, and her original painting blended together, not at all can not see that she scribbled, she can still remember the exclamation at this time.
Her mother is very talented, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, omniscient, often touching her head and saying, my mother was going to teach you well, but I can't let you learn from your two brothers, jumping up and down like a monkey, but unfortunately, when I gave birth to you, I injured my body, and I recuperated for two years, and when I got better, I found that my father-in-law took you with me and didn't let go, and I couldn't rob people with his old man.
She giggled and asked her mother, was she bad like this? Grandpa often praised her for being smart and clever, the brothers and uncles in the barracks were very good, she liked it very much, and his eldest brother and second brother, if the second brother was a monkey, jumping up and down for a while, she believed that the eldest brother was not like a monkey, although the eldest brother was not very stable, and he also loved to tease him, but the eldest brother was both civil and military, and she learned her mother's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learned to be proficient.
She was young at the time, and she was serious, but her second brother happened to hear it, and when he came in, he grabbed her by the collar from her mother's arms, and asked her to say that he was good, but if he didn't say it, she threw her on the roof and didn't let her down.
At that time, there was a mess, and in the end, it was her father who came to her, rescued her with a straight face, and drove his second brother away.
She still remembers the angry look in her second brother's face when he puffed out his face and said that his father was partial to the little girl.
An Huajin's thoughts suddenly pulled out far, far away, a long time ago, the dust is sealed in the memory, once the floodgates are opened, they pour out, and they can't take it if they want to.
The old slave brought a pot of charcoal, the best silver charcoal, the cold room suddenly became hot, warmed up, he turned around and took two soup women, stuffed them into the quilt in the bed, and earnestly instructed, "Little county lord, you go to bed early, you just came back from running outside, you have to rest well for a night, you will have the energy tomorrow, the snow is cold, the most likely to get sick, the old slave will give you a bowl of ginger soup?" ”
"No need, I've drunk ginger soup in the study." An Huajin shook his head and said softly, "I've woken you up, go to sleep." ”
The old slave said with a smile, "The old slave is staying in this courtyard, it is too lonely, but I wish the little county lord would wake me up a few more times." ”
An Huajin smiled, "Then I'll stay a few more days." ”
The old slave was stunned.
An Huajin stood up, untied his cloak, and hung it on the hanger, "I just miss my mother, anyway, this Nanyang Palace, everywhere is home, I don't go back to my yard, stay here for a few more days, it's nothing." ”
The old slave suddenly smiled, "Naturally it's nothing, if you are willing to live, then stay a few more days." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked at An Huajin, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously, "Little county lord, do you have something on your mind?" ”
If you didn't have something on your mind, why did you suddenly come to the residence of the prince and the princess in the middle of the night? Suddenly said that he wanted to be the princess, and he would have to live a few more days and not go back to his own yard? Although they are also in Nanyang Palace, they live in the courtyard of the prince and the princess before their death.
"It's a little, but it's not a big deal, you go to sleep! I'll just sleep. "There is nothing unadmitted.
The old slave nodded, but still persuaded, "Little county lord, the old slave has lived a handful of years, and he didn't understand things before, but when he gets old, he understands that life is the most important thing." ”
"Yes, it's important to be alive." Anwar brocade head.
The old slave turned around and closed the door for An Huajin intimately.
The room was quiet again, An Huajin took off her coat, and got into the quilt with Tang Pozi in her arms, I don't know if it was affected by her childhood, or if she was really tired from running around honestly or what, in short, after she closed her eyes, sleepiness hit, and she soon fell asleep.
I didn't dream all night, but I sank very much.
The next day, she opened her eyes, and it was not early.
Although the snow has not stopped, it is lighter than yesterday, there are ice flowers on the window lattice, and the charcoal fire in the house is buried tightly by the old slave, but when it pours like this, it has been extinguished, and there is not much residual warmth.
But it was not cold in the house.
An Huajin sat up, got out of bed with his clothes on, and opened the door.
The old slave heard the movement and immediately walked over, "Little county lord, have you woken up?" Did you sleep well last night? ”
"Okay."
The old slave laughed, "The old slave knows that as long as the little county lord comes to live here, he will sleep until three poles in the sun, just like before." ”
An Huajin also smiled, "Yes, in the past, as long as I came to live here, I would be bedridden, or my mother couldn't look past it and pulled me up." The problem I developed when I was a child, I didn't expect it to be the same when I got older. ”
The old slave was in a good mood, "The little county lord can eat in this courtyard?" The old slave went to the kitchen to bring it to you? ”
An Huajin nodded, "Use it." ”
"Okay, the old slave will go." The old slave turned and went to the kitchen.
An Huajin went back to the house, and after freshening up with the water that the old slave called, the old slave also brought food, put them on the table one by one, and said to An Huajin, "I met General Shen Xiao on the way, and the little general asked you when you will go to Xu's house, and do you want to go to Xu's house again?" ”
An Huajin nodded, "I'll go in a while." ”
The old slave sighed, "Since the former lady Xu went, he has not remarried around him for so many years, just he is alone, the old lady Xu has persuaded countless times, saying that marrying a new lady can also take care of him, but he pushed again and again, the old slave heard a few days ago that Xu Gong does not seem to be very good, since the autumn, he has been drinking medicine, and he has not been out of the house much recently." ”
An Huajin listened quietly, thinking that the sister-in-law's mother was gone when she was a few years old, at that time everyone said that Xu Jing and his wife were deeply in love, Xu Jing was filial piety to his first wife, and his love was as deep as the sea, and he did not want to marry again, and everyone praised Xu Jing for being affectionate and righteous.
Now this has a sense of affection, and it sounds ironic.
"Little lord eat it while it's hot! It's cold for a while, it's very cold outside after the heavy snow, the Xu family is not close, you should be careful on the road for a while. The old slave advised.
An Huajin picked up the chopsticks and nodded, "Okay." ”
