"Wen Fei, you don't know to talk to me when you come back, I'll rush back early. The general hurriedly shushed with his uncle and served him tea with his own hands.

"Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? I'm a junior, how can I bother my brother-in-law, by the way, why didn't I see Xiaofeng, why didn't this kid come out to greet me. Ran Wenfei looked left and right, but didn't see Sheng Feng, and asked.

The general casually picked up the teacup and said with a smile, "Feng'er has already gone to Guozijian and only comes back once a month." ”

Ran Wenfei frowned, "Brother-in-law, you really want to let Xiaofeng Congwen, then what should you do with the military power in your hands?"

The general smiled, "This military power is naturally handed over to the emperor for safekeeping, and the things are returned to the original owner, isn't it just right." ”

Ran Wenfei didn't agree very much, "Brother-in-law, you think about this matter too simply, you have been an official in the court for many years, and you have offended many people, and when you hand over the military power, Feng'er has not yet grown up, have you ever thought about how your family will live." ”

The general put down the tea, "What you said is indeed good, but don't forget, the emperor has become suspicious of me, I have held the military power for many years, and the army is under my control, the emperor is already dissatisfied, if I give the military power to Feng'er again, I am afraid that this general's mansion will be destroyed." ”

Ran Wenfei sighed, "The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, the birds are exhausted, the good bow is hidden, since ancient times, the emperor has been suspicious, killing loyal ministers, and the disaster of exterminating the clan has never been just talking." ”

The general looked at his brother-in-law and sighed, "Actually, among the three of you brothers, you are the smartest and most strategic, but unfortunately, you always have to pretend to be a gentleman to make your father unhappy." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled, "People live for a lifetime, and they naturally want to live a chic life, but they are trapped by too much fame and fortune, isn't it too ridiculous?"

The general shook his head helplessly.

Ran Wenfei quipped, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, don't I live happily and happily, happy and self-sufficient?"

The general looked at the sun outside, and casually ordered, "It's almost noon, go and invite the young lady, it's time for lunch." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly responded, "Yes, the slave will go and invite the young lady." ”

"Daddy, little uncle. Sheng Xiyan saw the two of them, and she was not restrained, and sat down at the table after a call. Blinking his big bright eyes, he said obediently, "Daddy, I'm hungry, why don't I have to eat?"

The general reluctantly hooked his daughter's nose, "Little gluttonous cat." ”

Ran Wenfei touched Sheng Xiyan's head, "Yan'er, when you are growing your body, you should eat more to replenish your body." ”

The general said helplessly, "Don't spoil her all the time, she's about to be spoiled by you." ”

Sheng Xiyan looked up at her father, and said dissatisfiedly, "Isn't a girl's family supposed to be pampered." ”

The general said helplessly, "There is a father at home, and my brother and uncle spoil you, so who will spoil you after you get married, be careful of being disliked." ”

Sheng Xiyan said proudly, "I don't want to get married, I want to rely on my father for the rest of my life." ”

The general Cheng Xin went against her, "Then what if your father is gone, who do you want to spoil you?"

Sheng Xiyan said without thinking, "Of course it's my brother." ”

The general said to her, "But my brother will have a wife of his own, and he will spoil his wife, and he will not spoil you alone." ”

Sheng Xiyan remembered what happened back then, and her face turned white all of a sudden.

The general and Ran Wenfei panicked all of a sudden, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Xiyan shook his head and reluctantly showed a smile, "I'm fine, I just want to eat Songhua cake, and my father didn't bring me pastries back today." ”

The general comforted her and said, "If you really want to eat, Daddy will send someone to buy it for you in a while, but it really can't be done, I will let the cook of Zuixianglou come to the house, what do you want to eat?" ”

Sheng Xiyan shook his head, and then said, "Daddy, little uncle, I'm full." ”

Ran Wenfei thought for a while and said, "Brother-in-law, I want to go to the ancestral hall to see my sister in a while, and let Yan'er accompany me." ”

The general nodded, Go ahead, you sister and brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and Yan'er hasn't been to worship his mother for a while. ”

Sheng Xiyan nodded: "Then I'll go to my uncle later." ”

"What's wrong with Yan'er? Why do you look pale when you mention that your brother is here, your brother bullied you, or, just like your father said, you, my brother has someone he likes. Ran Wenfei took her little niece's hand and walked in the garden, as if she asked casually.

Sheng Xiyan shook his head, "How old is my brother, how can there be someone he likes, I just heard my father say that he was gone, and I felt very sad." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled and persuaded, "Yan'er, people have joys and sorrows, the moon has clouds and sunny days, life and death, you should learn to look down on such things, otherwise there will be endless pain waiting for you to taste." ”

Sheng Xiyan raised his head and asked, "Little uncle, people are inherently dead, I know this, I can't learn to look down." ”

Ran Wenfei touched her head and said, "It's me who was wrong, you are still so young, and there are countless lives to experience, I shouldn't let you experience these sad partings too early, let you contact indifferently." ”

Sheng Xiyan smiled, "Little uncle, can life and death really be looked down upon, if you are framed to death, betrayed by your loved ones, and pushed to the execution ground by your beloved, can you still keep your indifference?"

Ran Wenfei asked slightly, "Yan'er, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Xiyan smiled, "Little uncle, I'm fine, I'm just a little emotional." ”

Ran Wenfei suppressed the doubts in his heart, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "You are such a young child, where do you get any emotion, pretend to be mature." ”

Sheng Xiyan just smiled and didn't answer.

"Miss, what a coincidence, I met here. Jiang Meiyuan was dressed up more gorgeously than in the morning, making her originally gentle face look more bright.

Sheng Xiyan smiled, "It's really a coincidence, how can Master Jiang have time to go out for a walk?"

Jiang Meiyuan smiled gently, "I'm a little depressed, so I came out to relax, who is this?"

Sheng Xiyan hurriedly introduced, "This is my little uncle Ran Wenfei, little uncle, this is the master who taught me embroidery, surnamed Jiang." ”

Ran Wenfei nodded at Master Jiang, "Write more about Master Jiang's guidance, Yan'er wants to be stubborn, and worry about Master Jiang to be more attentive." ”

Jiang Meiyuan smiled and said, "Gongzi Ran is too worried, the eldest lady has always been extremely diligent in her studies, and she is extremely intelligent, even I am a little jealous of her talent." ”

Sheng Xiyan threw a proud little look at Ran Wenfei, look, I'm amazing.

Ran Wenfei shook his head helplessly.

In this way, the previous depth is broken.

The three of them talked and laughed, but they were extremely harmonious.

After a while, Sheng Xiyan suddenly said, "Little uncle, we should go to the ancestral hall to see our mother, let's come out to play after reading it." ”

Ran Wenfei nodded and said to Jiang Meiyuan, "There is still something to do now, so I will be out of company." ”

Jiang Meiyuan hurriedly said, "Don't go first if Gongzi Ran has something, don't worry about me." ”

Ran Wenfei and Sheng Xiyan walked away together, Jiang Meiyuan looked at the backs of the two of them, and a trace of imperative was crossed in her eyes.

Sheng Xiyan suddenly spoke, "Little uncle, I think Master Jiang seems to be interesting to you." ”

Ran Wenfei shook his head, "I don't have the idea of starting a family, I can only let Miss Jiang down." ”

Sheng Xiyan smiled, "Uncle Xiao is not a big man now, why don't you hurry up and start a family, so that grandma and grandpa can rest assured." ”

Ran Wenfei said with a smile, "I'd rather lack than abuse, I always have to find someone I like." ”

Sheng Xiyan pretended to be relaxed and said, "You haven't been in contact with Master Jiang yet, how do you know that she is not your favorite person?"

Ran Wenfei smiled, "Master Jiang is a person like this, at first glance, he is from a scholarly family, his family background is not solid but he is very arrogant, and I am just a layman, making money for a living, and the two of us are not suitable." What's more, my father and mother will definitely not let her be my wife, and she is not suitable to be my wife, she is arrogant, which is unwilling to be subservient. So sometimes it's as simple as that. Not suitable, so avoid everything possible from the start. ”

Sheng Xiyan nodded clearly, "Uncle, you're right, it's not suitable, it's better to avoid everything from the beginning, and the province will make both of them miserable in the end." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled and shook his head, "I won't like her, you can rest assured of this, I have never been an infatuated species." ”

Sheng Xiyan smiled and did not speak again.

Ran Wenfei knelt down on the futon and said with a smile, "Sister, I came to see you, do you blame me for coming too little, don't worry, after the business in the capital is settled, I will often come to see you." ”

Sheng Xiyan asked curiously, "Uncle, you want to settle in the capital." ”

Ran Wenfei nodded.

Sheng Xiyan gave her mother a pillar of incense, "Mother, my daughter has come to see you, you are doing well over there, your daughter is not filial, and she failed to fulfill her filial piety when you were alive." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled and glanced at her little niece, "Yan'er, my sister won't blame you, how old were you at that time, I was still fighting cocks and walking birds at that time." ”

Ran Wenfei put on a stick of incense, "Sister, I am starting to do business seriously now, if you see it, you may be very pleased, and you may scold me for not being a talent, but I want to tell you that this is what I want to do, and I hope you can support me." ”

Sheng Xiyan smiled, "My mother will definitely support you, she has always doted on your younger brother the most." ”

Ran Wenfei nodded and said, "Yan'er, my sister and I haven't seen each other for a long time, do I want to talk to her alone for a while?"

Sheng Xiyan smiled, "Then I'll wait for you outside." ”

Ran Wenfei nodded.

After seeing Sheng Xiyan go out, Ran Wenfei sighed, "Sister, I found that my little niece is becoming more and more strange now, inexplicably mature, I really don't know whether it's good or bad, sister, if you have a spirit in the sky, I hope you can bless her with a smooth life and let this child suffer less." ”

Ran Wenfei waited for a long time without answering, and smiled to himself, "Look at me, aren't you stupid, sister, I have been worshipping with my brother, father, and mother in the past few years, but I haven't had time to say a few words to you seriously." But I always have a feeling that you are still alive, sister, I know that this is my fantasy, but I can't help but think about it. ”

Ran Wenfei put the sacrifices he brought and muttered, "Sister, sister, you have always scolded me for not being a weapon, but how do you know the bitterness in my heart, I don't want to become a political tool like my eldest brother, and I don't want to kill people like my second brother without blinking, I just want to guard my small world, guard my relatives, and live a healthy and stable life." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled again, "You must be scolding me for having no ambition in your heart, but ah, I'm such a person, you say that I have no talent and waste in vain, but I'd rather be an ordinary person." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled bitterly, "Sister, your illness is strange, but I don't dare to investigate, I don't want to investigate, you know, I have always been a coward, I am afraid of destroying the stable life in front of me, in fact, I know that Feng'er's origin is strange, this is your heart disease, but Feng'er is I watched grow up, I can't bear to hurt him, he is still just a child." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled, "Sister, I know you can't bear to blame me, and you also love Feng'er deeply, otherwise you wouldn't swallow the bitter fruit by yourself and become ill because of your thoughts." ”

Ran Wenfei thought for a while, and then said, "I know you have some suspicions, you suspect that Feng'er was born by the woman in the palace, but you don't want to reveal this secret, otherwise, you would have told your father and mother a long time ago, and you would have tolerated it for so long." ”

Ran Wenfei showed a nostalgic expression on her face, "Sister, I remember you often told me that Huiji must be hurt, and now I finally taste what it is like, Yan'er is the same as you, smart and decisive, I just hope that she will not be hurt by herself and be able to live the life she wants to live." “

Sheng Xiyan waited outside for a long time before Ran Wenfei walked out, still with that smiling look on his face, "Yan'er, that's great! I met my sister alone once this year." ”

Sheng Xiyan was also infected by him, "That's really good, after you settle in the capital, you can often come to see your mother, and your mother will be very happy." ”

Ran Wenfei smiled, but did not answer her, will my sister be happy? Maybe.

Sheng Xiyan also showed a bright smile.
