Afraid of arousing his mother's remembrance of his father, Shou An rarely went to see the Fang family on weekdays, so the mother and daughter rarely talked about some things in detail.
But Shou'an herself also understands that even if she doesn't go to see the Fang family, the Fang family still misses the deceased Jiang Shifeng.
At this moment, if Fang wanted to speak, she listened, if she didn't want to say more, she would be sad even if she asked.
Fang's gaze fell back to the tablet in the ancestral hall, outlining Jiang Shifeng's name with his gaze, and said: "He was stationed at the northern pass at that time, and every year when the snow fell, the enemy retreated to the depths of the grassland for the winter, and he would not attack again until the snow turned warm in the next year.
Year after year, the snowy season is the most peaceful time of the year for the people of the northern border.
It is also the most reassuring time for the garrison.
Your father once said that I can't wait for the snow to fall for more than half a year, to give the people and soldiers more time to breathe, and to let those enemies who are sheltering from the winter spend more energy......"
With Fang's narration, Shou'an's heart tightened little by little.
For his father, Shou An has almost no impression, he doesn't remember his voice and smile, he doesn't remember what he said and done, all his memories come from the stories of people around him.
However, Jiang Shifeng's time in the capital in those years was too short, even if several grandmothers racked their brains to recall, it was difficult to recall how many scenes of Jiang Shifeng and his daughter playing, and they couldn't tell Shou'an.
Only a few gadgets carved by Jiang Shifeng for Shou'an have been preserved, and she will take them out from time to time to take a look, but she just looks at them and can't remember the details.
Compared with his biological father who died early, Ning Guogong's uncle is more like Shou'an's father.
As Shou An and Gu Yunjin said, she regarded her eldest uncle as her father.
It's just that at this moment, listening to Fang's narration, the hazy image of the biological father is a little clearer.
Her father is a man who has given up his small family and pursued everyone, and in his heart, he has the people he guards.
Garrisoning the border pass is not for military merits, not for fame, not for the Ningguo Mansion and the glory of the Jiang family, but for the people.
Shou An is proud of her background and father, she knows that her mother is also proud of this, but in the life of widowhood for many years, will there be complaints behind the pride?
Shou An couldn't ask this question, so she could only hold an umbrella and accompany Fang to continue standing.
Mama Hong came quickly, and when she saw the two figures from a distance, she couldn't help but slow down.
Seeing that the snow was about to fall just now, knowing that the Fang clan refused to leave, Mama Hong went to look for an umbrella first, and turned back at this moment, but she didn't expect the county lord of Shou'an to be here.
Mama Hong didn't come forward to disturb, but just waited from afar, and even Mama Lin sent someone to find the county lord, but she stopped her.
The two mothers and daughters spent too little time together, even if they stood silent for a while, in Mama Hong's opinion, it was also a kind of communication.
It wasn't until the snowflakes gradually grew that Mama Hong didn't look at it anymore, and stepped forward to persuade Fang's family: "Madam, it's time to go, you and the county lord's body is important." ”
Fang sighed: "Shou'an go back first, I'm not in a hurry." ”
Shou An pursed his lower lip and did not move.
Mama Hong sighed secretly, gave Shou An a look, and signaled the other party to just rest assured, she was here to take care of Fang's family.
Shou An knew that the Fang family was stubborn, so he responded to Mama Hong and turned to leave.
As soon as Laba passes, the flavor of the New Year in Beijing becomes stronger and stronger.
The inmates of Guozijian are also about to usher in the holiday, and before the holiday, there is a monthly exam.
It is said to be a monthly exam, but in the end, it is the last time of the year, and it is especially important everywhere.
The inmates went to refer to it early in the morning, and outside the examination room, in addition to the small houses, there were also many people who came to join in the fun, gathering in groups of three or five, guessing the ranking this time.
The most interesting thing is how Ji Zhicheng will do in the exam, whether he will be promoted to the next level like in the previous months, or he will jump to the head and get stuck in the bottleneck, or he will be beaten back to his original shape and fall back to the point where he was in the same position as before.
Compared with everyone's attention, Ji Shangshu was extremely calm, doing things step by step, and there was no fluctuation on the surface.
In the past few months, Ji Zhicheng's progress has made Lao Shangshu quite long-faced, joy is really joy, and satisfaction is also extremely satisfied, but compared to the ranking in the Guozi Prison, what really makes Ji Shangshu close his mouth is Ji Zhicheng's attitude towards learning now.
Self-motivation can't deceive people, Ji Zhicheng is not lacking in intelligence, as long as he can calm down and do learning, then there will be growth.
There is a lot of ink in the stomach, and the ranking is high or low, so what's the matter.
It's not that I expect Ji Zhicheng to take the test immediately, it's good that the foundation is stable.
Ji Shangshu could see it, but the results of Guozijian Zhang Bang that day still made him stunned.
Ji Zhicheng's ranking has risen again, although he is not striding forward like before, but he looks safe.
As soon as the list came out, a few families were happy and a few were sad.
Sun Ke was the one who was worried, he avoided in Suxiang Building, closed the window, didn't listen to the arguments of the guests in the lobby downstairs about the quality of the prisoners, and complained to Jiang Muyuan with a bitter face: "The little guy in our house rushed to the front, and his whole face was buried on the list, I don't know, I thought I entered the examination room!" ”
Jiang Muyuan couldn't help laughing.
Prince Yong is very concerned about Ji Zhicheng, and he can't use Ji Zhicheng's experience of "the prodigal son's return" as a template to make Sun Ke honest again.
Ji Zhicheng's progress made Ji Shangshu gain a bunch of compliments again, the officialdom is full of people, I know what he is most satisfied with, and the big girl Xu is a boast, and the family business of opening and closing his mouth is good.
Ji Shangshu was fluttering, and Prince Yong couldn't sit still.
A few days ago, Sun Ke finally used the excuse Jiang Muyuan found for him to stabilize the Yongwang Ye, so that he could drag it out until the beginning of spring, but he didn't know that as soon as the list came out, everything would come to naught.
Sun Ke's brain was swollen, he wanted to live in peace for the New Year, it was really not easy.
Jiang Muyuan smiled and said: "Prince Yong is in a hurry for two days, and if he gets busy in a few days, he won't be able to take care of you, so it's okay for you to spend time until spring." ”
Yong Wang Ye is idle, most of the year is at ease, only during the New Year, will he be busy.
Especially when he entered the palace, there was always a lot of friction between the prince and the saint, and the two brothers were on the same bar, and he only had time to scold his son, but he had no time to care.
More worried than Sun Ke is Wang Fu'an.
The more he praised Xu Lingyi in the six yamen, the colder his neck became.
It's a shame that Xu Yan is not in Beijing, otherwise, this flattering person slipped away from Ji Shangshu, and he would have to rush to the Ministry of Industry to pat Xu Yan, and Wang Fu would be more embarrassed when he was in it.
