An Mingchen glanced at her, took the letter of resignation and turned to leave. Huangfu Xue stared at his back, the hand hanging on the side tightened slightly, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, and he didn't say a word until An Mingchen left.

An Mingchen went back to the study and put Xiu Shu on the table, he sat at the table and stared at Xiu Shu with straight eyes, he thought about it for a long time and didn't understand, why did he talk about peace and separation today? He knew that she had been wronged today, and he wanted to comfort her after clarifying her mother's affairs, but she didn't give him this opportunity at all......

On this day, the atmosphere in the west courtyard was unusually low, and the maids and maids in the courtyard felt it, so they were much more careful than in the past. It didn't take long for the other two courtyards to hear about this side of the matter, and they were all gloating. Huangfu Xue's life is too good, they have been jealous for a long time, and now they can be unhappy when they can see him unlucky.

If it weren't for the fear that Huangfu Xue would hold a grudge, they would still want to go to the West Courtyard to see the excitement.

In the evening, Huangfu Zhengxiong also heard the news, and contrary to the norm, Huangfu Zhengxiong did not go directly to An Mingchen to settle the account this time, but laughed twice, and then began to let the housekeeper Zhang Luo Huangfu Xue's marriage. The housekeeper looked puzzled, "Master, maybe the second lady and the aunt are just throwing a tantrum, will you be too ...... Too anxious. "After all, the family has not yet divorced, he began to Zhang Luo's second miss's marriage, if it spreads, outsiders still don't know what to say about the Huangfu family, how to say about the second miss.

Huangfu Zhengxiong doesn't say that, he can't stand the practice of settling down for a long time, his daughter is the best, how can he be angry with others, if this uncle is disobedient, then he will take a break, and he will be replaced by an obedient one. Huangfu Zhengxiong thought clearly, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and the housekeeper could only respond first when he saw that it didn't make sense, and slowly looked for it in private.

An Mingchen didn't go back to the room at night, Huangfu Xue hugged Ping'an to tell the story, Ping'an noticed her displeasure, and pulled his sleeve, "Mother, are you angry with your father?" ”

"You little thing, do you know what anger is?" Huangfu Xue poked her head. Ping An got into her arms and nodded solemnly, "Ping An has seen the maids in the yard quarrel, but it won't take long for them to reconcile, and my father and mother will reconcile soon." ”

"Fool." Huangfu Xue smiled bitterly, how could things be quarreled between them, and then they would be fine. The misunderstanding and estrangement between them grew deeper and deeper, so deep that she no longer knew how to explain and ease it. She wanted to pretend she didn't care about anything, but only her heart knew if she cared......

"Mother, will you take Ping'an out for a walk?" Ping An tugged at his sleeve, "Daddy makes my mother angry, shall we run away from home?" ”

"You know how old you are to run away from home." Huangfu Xue couldn't cry or laugh, "Say, who told you such a thing as running away from home." "This stinky boy, what have you learned in the house all day. It's a cute child, but it's like a little adult. Running away from home, though? The idea seems good. She doesn't want to be at home now, it's better to go out for a walk, there happens to be a Zhuangzi nearby who needs to go around, it's better to go over with peace, and go out for a walk.

"My grandfather said that." Huangfu Zhengxiong also said casually at the time, but he didn't expect peace to remember. Huangfu Xue didn't know what to say when she heard this. "You really want to hang out?"

"Yes, I've never been out of the house, mother, can you take Ping'an out to fly kites and catch fish. It's like the neighbor's two dogs. He has played all of these, only Ping An has played nothing. "Huang Fuxue and An Mingchen are very busy every day, and there are many people in the house, but Ping An is too small, and his identity is so precious, even if Huang Fuxue agrees, they don't dare to take him out to play, for fear that they can't afford anything.

Although Li and Huangfu Zhengxiong felt sorry for their grandson, they were reluctant to let him go out because they were too caring, so Ping An was almost two years old but never went out once. Huang Fuxue looked at his yearning look with a guilty face, she once thought that she had given her the best everything, but now she realized that what she gave was not necessarily what she wanted.

"Okay, my mother will take you to the nearby Zhuangzi tomorrow to play, where there are a lot of fun, you will definitely like it then." Huangfu Xue pulled the quilt and patted her shoulder, "Go to bed early." When you wake up, your mother will take you to play. ”

"Okay, take Ping An with you, don't bring Daddy. When Daddy knew he was wrong, we played with Daddy. Ping An fell asleep holding Huangfu Xue's arm. Huang Fuxue looked at his well-behaved face and didn't speak for a long time. As the night grew darker, An Mingchen stood at the door and did not move. Tonight is destined to be a difficult night, but this time he doesn't want to compromise easily, if it is something else, he can act as if nothing has happened, but how can the lady say the word harmony so casually, is he really weightless in her heart?

He knew that a lot of things had happened during this time, and he also knew that he had resentment in his heart and was angry with him, but he also had to be angry, and not everything could come with his mouth open. The moon and stars are scarce, the autumn wind is gusting, and another year is about to pass......

"Uncle, it's late at night, you can also go in and rest." The little guy reminded. An Mingchen shook his head and turned to leave. The little servant glanced at the closed door, and then caught up with him, not daring to say a word. Everyone in the house knew that the second aunt and the second lady had a deep relationship, and they rarely quarreled, and they thought that the morning's affairs could always be concluded now, but who knew that the uncle would hesitate to retreat. It seems that this time things are more serious than they thought.

Early in the morning of the second day, An Mingchen went to the court. Huangfu Xue asked the magpie to pack up his things and went to Zhuangzi outside the city. Ping An went out for the first time and sat in the carriage excitedly, "Mother, it turns out that it is so lively outside, much more lively than in the house." There are so many fun things, mother, Ping An likes it. ”

"If you like it, when you come back, your mother will take you to buy some and go back to play. Today, let's go to Zhuangzi first, where to go, is it okay for my mother to accompany you to catch birds? Ping An became interested when he heard it, "Bird? Is the bird on my mother's Zhuangzi as beautiful and fun as the bird in my grandfather's yard? My grandfather's bird could talk. But it's a little stupid, Ping An has taught her many times, but until now it can only say a clever word. ”

"That's not a bird, your name is a parrot. The bird next to me doesn't speak. Huangfu Xue doted on the villain in her arms, and Ping An lowered her head a little disappointed, "I thought it was the stupidest bird, but I didn't expect it to be the smartest bird." Mother, why can't other birds speak, is it not taught? Peace is very patient, and will certainly teach them well. ”

The child's world is always simple and beautiful, Huang Fuxue did not interrupt her thoughts, and listened to his twitter fantasies with a doting face. I don't know how long it took for the carriage to come to Zhuangzi, magpies and swagger helped carry things, and Huangfu Xue got off the carriage with a safe hand, "There is a big difference between here and our family." ”

"We live in the capital, this is the suburbs, naturally there is a difference, and this is Zhuangzi, and there are villagers nearby, so naturally it can't be compared." Huangfu Xue carried her in, Zhuangzi's steward was already waiting at the door, and when he saw them coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Second Miss, please inside, the room is packed up for you and the little beads, and today we will start to collect it, Second Miss wants to go over and take a look?" ”

In the past, Huangfu Xue would go to the fields to take a look to prevent the people on the Zhuangzi from concealing the report, but in fact, he was more worried that the Zhuangzi family was not in good shape, but the people had to pay rent according to the regulations. Every time there is a bad harvest, Huangfu Xue will take the initiative to reduce the tenant rent, and this year is no exception, "Then let's go now." Trouble stewards lead the way. The steward nodded and made a gesture of please. Huangfu Xue walked in front with Ping'an, and the steward followed, "How is the situation of the Zhuang family this year?" ”

"After dragging the blessing of the second young lady, our Zhuangzi's dealer has grown very well this year. The people were very happy, and they shouted to give the second lady some home-grown melons and fruits as a thank you gift. Thank you Miss Two for taking care of them last year. Huangfu Xue smiled and shook her head, "You don't need to send things, I can rest assured that they have a good harvest." The fruit on the nearby mountains is almost ripe. In a few days, I will find some people to pick the fruit, and I will already find a way to sell it."

"Really?" The steward was very happy when he heard it, they have a few small mountains and forests in this Zhuangzi, and all the fruit trees grow on them, but where can they eat so many fruits, seeing that they are rotten and broken every year, the steward is very distressed, and he has asked Huangfuxue several times to tell him about this matter, but there has been no result, and now he is naturally happy to hear it. The steward has watched the dealer for half his life, and he doesn't like waste the most, so he watched the fruit on the tree rot, and he felt distressed when he thought about it.

"Naturally. When he is done, he will find some women in the neighborhood to work in the Zhuangzi, and he will give them the price of long-term work. As for the salary, it is okay to give it after all is done, and it is also possible to settle it every day. You just look at it. "When I came to the field, I saw that there were people working in the field on every head, some cutting rice, some bundling rice, all busy, children who could help were helping on the side, and those who couldn't help followed other friends to play in the field, and laughter was heard from afar.

Huang Fuxue looked at the thriving scene and felt that this was the breath of life. Ping An enviously wanted to come down to play, Huangfu Xue put him on the ground, "Little thing, it's okay to play, but don't fall and get hurt, don't lose your temper, you want to have fun with the big guy, you know?" ”

"Got it." At first, the children were a little frightened to see that he was different from them. Huangfu Xue asked the magpie to send some pastries and candy to a few children, and the children immediately happily pulled Ping An to play. After the children left, Huangfu Xue walked forward, the steward said well, this year's farmer is very good, and the heavy rice seems to be unable to bear the weight and is about to fall to the ground.

The fish in the rice fields are also very fat, and the people are full of laughter and words of gratitude along the way. After the inspection, Huang Fuxue began to talk to the steward about making jam and canned fruits, "You send someone to pick some fresh fruits first, and I'll do some in person later, you taste them, if you think it's okay, let's start preparing in two days." ”
