At night, Anfu was silent, Xin'er made the bed and was about to go out, An Ge suddenly stopped her and said, "Xin'er, go and see if Xiang'er is asleep?" If she didn't sleep, let her come over. ”

"Hey, slave and maid are going."

After a while, Xiang'er was brought over by Xin'er, and An Ge told Xin'er to go to rest first, leaving only Xiang'er there.

Xiang'er knelt down in front of An Ge and said gratefully: "Thank you Madame for saving your life today, Xiang'er will be Madame's person in the future, and I am willing to repay Madame's kindness by making cattle and horses for Madame." ”

Ange didn't immediately call her up, sat in front of her, and looked at her quietly for a while.

After coming back from the day, Aunt Zhang saw that the niece was wearing thin clothes and thin people, and she was distressed, so she immediately went to get two thick cotton clothes from Xin'er and gave them to her, she now has a little more blood on her face, but Xin'er's clothes are wide, and she looks thinner and more lovable on her.

After being silent for a while, An Ge asked: "There is one thing I have always puzzled, I want to see you today, Mrs. Cui tried her best to find an excuse not to let you see you, but Aunt Zhang went to see you that day, why did they let you see you, and gave you the opportunity to talk so much to Aunt Zhang?" ”

After asking these questions, An Ge obviously noticed that Xiang'er's back stiffened, and his hands on the ground gradually clenched.

Then, two tears fell to the ground, she looked up with teary eyes, and said to An Ge apologetically: "Mrs. Hui, make my mistake, I played a trick on my heart......

"My aunt went to see me once, three months earlier, and she told me that you and the general would come soon. At that time, I already felt that Cui Da wanted to do something wrong to me, and it turned out to be the case...... I thought of what my aunt had told me, and knew that my aunt would see me again soon, so I took out all the money I had on my body and bought off the doorman of Cui's mansion, telling him that if anyone came to see me, don't inform Mrs. Cui, and take it to see me secretly. ”

"I just wanted to have a chance to call for help. Later, I saw my aunt and told her what had happened to me, thinking that she would come back to ask Madame for help from you and the general. ”

An Ge nodded, and that's pretty much what she expected.

She opened her mouth and asked again: "Are you so sure that I will definitely help you?" ”

Xiang'er shook her head and said with a wry smile: "That's all I can do, I think it's best if my wife can save me, if not, I will do my best, and I can only resign myself to fate in the future." ”

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed and said, "Madam, I know that I am not sincere, I have calculated my aunt and you, if Madam sends me back to Cui's mansion, I will never complain." ”

She fully confessed, but An Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and now he could be regarded as trusting her.

An Ge got up from the chair, walked over, stretched out his hand to help Xiang'er, and said with a smile: "You are scheming so that you can be rescued, and you are not trying to harm others, this is not a bad thing, you get up first." ”

Xiang'er stood up from the ground with a moved expression.

An Ge said gently: "What do you plan to do in the future?" If you don't want to go to the capital with me, you can go home. ”

Xiang'er shook her head again and again, and said anxiously: "No, I want to go to the capital with my wife!" ”

"Do you really want to? You must know that Yangzhou and the capital are not close, as long as you leave, you may only have the opportunity to come back once in a few years. ”

An Ge was afraid that she would be pregnant, so she explained with a smile, "I also asked Xin'er this question, and Xin'er said that if she continues to stay, she will always think of her tragic death of her husband, so she is willing to go to the capital with me and leave this sad place to start over." As for her father, now that she has children and grandchildren and someone to take care of her, she is not worried. What about you? Are you unfettered? ”

Xiang'er sniffed and said with a crying voice: "Madame has been to the feet of the Son of Heaven and has seen a lot of things, so I don't think there is anything for a woman like me who has a dead husband and an unknown child, but here, a woman like me is going to be talked about." ”

"If I go back to my parents' house, I will be scolded with my father and mother, if I go out to live alone, I am not innocent, no good people will want me, and in the future, my child will be born and will be scolded with me. Madam, I also want to follow you to the capital, I want to go to a place where no one knows me and start over with my children. ”

She seemed to be afraid and didn't want to take her, so she knelt down with a "plop" again, looked at An Ge with her head raised and teary-eyed, and said, "Madam, I will definitely serve you well, just ask me and the child to eat a mouthful of food." ”

An Ge sighed lightly, helped her up again, and said with a smile: "I just asked what you mean, if you are willing to go with me, I will naturally be happy." I still have to live in Yangzhou for a short time, during this time you can take care of the baby in Anfu, or you can go back to meet your parents. There are few people in Anfu, and your aunt and cousin are here, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Xiang'er's expression was relaxed at this time, and she was about to kneel again, An Ge hurriedly helped her, and said helplessly: "I will kneel if I am not happy at home, go back to the room and rest." ”

"Yes, thank you, ma'am."

After Xiang'er left, An Ge went over and closed the door and entered the back room.

At this time, Jing Lan held Er'er, who was already drowsy with her little head, and when she saw her come in, she put Er'er on the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, patted the position next to her, and motioned for An Ge to come over.

An Ge walked up to him and sat down, he smiled, looked at An Ge and said: "You are becoming more and more like a housewife, showing kindness to a new maid and beating secretly, it is estimated that she will never dare to play any tricks in front of you in the future." ”

He heard everything that An Ge said in the outhouse.

An Ge leaned on him and smiled at him with a raised face: "I can't hide anything from you." ”

Jing Lan snorted and said, "That is, you don't like to socialize, just because you know too much, you can see at a glance that others are fake, and you feel bored, so you are too lazy to have any intersections." ”

An Ge rolled his eyes and asked, "Then I was also seen through by you at a glance, do you also think I'm boring?" ”

Jing Lan reached out and tapped her nose and said with a smile: "What you do shines in my eyes." ”

After that, he picked up An Ge's chin and kissed it, then let it go again, and then asked: "In addition to going back to Xiang'er today, have you avenged Cui Er's revenge?" ”

An Ge sighed lightly when he heard this: "Originally, I couldn't swallow this breath, but when I think about my small family, my father was born poor, and there is not even a thug in the family." What if it really annoys the Gu family, and after the two of us leave, they call someone to bully my father? ”

Jinglan looked at her speechlessly: "You just think too much, what's so difficult about this?" There are no thugs, so I spent some money to buy dozens of them for my father. If you can't believe it, I'll write to Chang Tuzhi and ask him to find some people who have retired from the army, and those people I absolutely trust. When the time comes, don't say that they take the initiative to bully, it is just a matter of silently destroying them. ”

An Ge couldn't cry or laugh, raised his fist and smashed him: "You just talk nonsense, you are powerful and powerful, not to bully people." I thought about it, and I didn't suffer anything from the beginning, so forget it. Xiang'er's matter, if the Cui family doesn't continue to make trouble, forget it, if they have to make trouble, let's find a way when the time comes. ”

Jing Lan was still a little reluctant, An Ge didn't give him a chance to speak, and said: "My father has been an official for many years, and he has always had a clear conscience, and it is estimated that he will retire in a few years." The Cui family is a local snake again, once it gets involved, it is estimated that it will not be solved for a while and a half, why should I trouble him at this time? Let him be an official for a few years quietly, and then resign and go to the capital with us. ”

Jing Lan was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll listen to you." I'm not that impulsive, I just want to tell you, don't be afraid, no matter who provokes you, I have you behind you. ”

"yes, I know."

……

Early the next morning, Xiang'er came to say goodbye to An Ge, saying that she was going back to her mother's house, and it was estimated that it would take at least five days to go back and forth.

Not long after she left, Aunt Zhang came over and asked to see the second son of the Cui family.

An Ge didn't think about it and said, "It must be for Xiang'er's business, I don't see it." ”

Jing Lan, who was playing with Er'er on the side, heard it, but called Aunt Zhang, who was going back to talk, and said, "Wait, I'll take a look." ”

An Ge grabbed his hand, twisted his eyebrows, and said, "What do you want to do?" If you can do it yesterday, you won't make trouble for my father. ”

Jing Lan smiled: "Don't worry, I'll go and see what the infatuated man who stood in the rain for you all night many years ago is like, and I won't beat him." ”

After that, he stuffed Er'er into An Ge's arms, and followed Aunt Zhang over.

An Ge got up and wanted to chase him, but Er'er glanced at his mouth, looked at An Ge with watery eyes, and shouted: "Yan Yan, play ......"

It was as if I was going to cry in the next moment.

An Ge was speechless, so he had to coax his son first and take him out to play with Yanyan first.

In the front hall, Cui Er fidgeted and waited for a long time, and immediately stood up from the stool when he heard footsteps, staring straight in the direction of the people who were coming.

His heart was pounding, almost out of his throat. His mind kept circling the appearance of Ange a few years ago when it had not yet grown, as well as a glimpse of yesterday's shock, and his heart was uneasy and expectant.

Soon, someone walked out from behind, and when Cui Eryi saw it, it was not An Ge, but a man, and his whole heart sank to the bottom.

He has also heard some rumors about An Ge over the years, and the legend here is that An Ge went to choose a concubine but failed, and was given to the general by the emperor. So the man in front of him should be a general, right?

He glanced at Jing Lan blankly, and intuitively ashamed of himself.

Just in appearance, Jing Lan is almost a head taller than him, and Jing Lan is worthy of growing up on the battlefield, heroic and extraordinary, and has some youthful fluffy flamboyance.

Look at him again...... It's nothing to be shorter, because he was in the township test, and after the glory of his ancestors, he was unemployed at home, his eldest brother was ridiculous, he was the hope of the whole family, so he was favored at home, and his life was delicious, which also caused him to be young and grow a lifetime of fat and lazy meat.

Just talking about his appearance, he is very different from Jinglan, not to mention the family background that was thrown out of the sky.
