Chapter 267: Someone from the palace
Sister-in-law Feng stood at the door of the kitchen for a long time, and finally gritted her teeth, turned around and went back to the kitchen, recooked a plate of dumplings, and went directly to Leng Nanxian's clinic.
Leng Nanxian was standing by the window, pushing open the window and looking out in a daze.
A bitter cold wind poured in, washing away the warmth of the room.
Sister-in-law Feng went in, and Leng Nanxian didn't look back, like a sculpture.
"Don't look at it, Ansheng is already gone."
Leng Nanxian pursed his lips and did not speak.
Sister-in-law Feng put the dumplings and vinegar dish on top of his desk: "Childe, can you eat something?" ”
"I'm not hungry, Sister-in-law Feng."
Sister-in-law Feng finally couldn't help but be anxious: "You two children, you are angry, why can't you get along with this meal, don't you eat when you are angry?" ”
Leng Nanxian closed the window and turned around: "Didn't she eat?" ”
Sister-in-law Feng said distressedly: "I didn't eat lunch, I was pulled by Yu Shizi to drink a belly of cold wind and came back, and my hands and feet were so cold that I was cold." I said to cook some dumplings for her, and she said she was so sad that she couldn't eat them. ”
Leng Nanxian let out a faint "oh".
"Although Sister-in-law Feng is a subordinate, but when Mrs. was leaving, she entrusted her son to me, let me take care of you, Sister-in-law Feng has to say a word today, don't you still want to face your own thoughts?"
Leng Nanxian was silent.
"Sister-in-law Feng almost watched you grow up, and she knows your temperament well. When I first saw Ansheng, I knew that she was a rare good girl. And you, Childe, are also very unusual to Miss Ansheng.
You like Miss Ansheng, you have been since a very early age, not only me, but even Qianzhou and Yu Shizi have noticed it. You alone refuse to admit it. Do you know that if Gongzi doesn't confess to Miss An Sheng, An Shengke will really be snatched away by Yu Shizi. ”
Leng Nanxian stood with the light on his back, his face hidden in the gloom of dusk, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
"I'm her master."
"It's just your excuse."
An Sheng's mind is simple, like a blank piece of paper, and he has never had these messy ideas. She was still young, and she said she didn't want to get married. I'm afraid to scare her. ”
Sister-in-law Feng sighed lightly: "Ansheng is seventeen years old for the New Year!" Childe, this is also your excuse to deceive yourself. That's not what you think in your heart. ”
Leng Nanxian was stunned for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Sister-in-law Feng, I can't give her power and wealth, and she will be on the rise." If she really follows me, she will have to live this kind of toiling life for the rest of her life. Unless one day, she is willing, can see through the power, not be tempted by these floating clouds, and like this kind of leisure and happiness of eating and drinking.
Otherwise, even if I enclose her in the medicine house and brand her with my cold Nanxian, it will be in vain. The temptations of the outside world only made her miserable. So, whether or not I let her understand my mind now is not so important. ”
"That's what you've always had to worry about?"
Leng Nanxian nodded, and the hands between his sleeves were clenched tightly, as if he was trying to endure something.
"You know, I'm tired of entering the office, and I don't want to be an official in the court, and I can't give her what Yu Jingyun can give her. And these are all women in the world who are flocking to, An Sheng is just a mortal, inevitably, she also likes gold and silver, and envy power.
Yu Jingyun took her to ride a horse in the city, was admired by the people, and let her sit side by side with herself in Dali Temple and Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and was welcomed by hundreds of officials. In front of the emperor, he said kind words, so that An Sheng accepted the royal award. So much scenery, so much publicity, all made her excited.
That's why I flinched again and again, and hesitated again and again. If she likes this kind of pride and likes Yu Jingyun, why should I bother her? ”
"But Childe, you never asked Miss Ansheng, how do you know that she doesn't like life in the medicine house?" Sister-in-law Feng cross-examined.
Leng Nanxian said gloomily: "What's the use of liking it now?" The hard thing is to like it for a lifetime. ”
Sister-in-law Feng snorted lightly and said, "I haven't read so many books, unlike Gongzi, who understands so many great truths." I only know that happiness is to be with the people you like, not the so-called glory and wealth.
You think that you have given Ansheng the freedom to choose the life she wants, but you don't know that for Ansheng, your indifference may make her feel lost and depressed, but instead push her into Yu Shizi's arms.
You yourself said that the Hou Mansion is complicated, and it is not suitable for Ansheng, a girl. If she really agreed to Yu Shizi and married into the Hou Mansion, she would be depressed and unhappy all her life, and she would not be happy if she believed in her son. Why bother leaving a lifetime of regrets? ”
Leng Nanxian's body shook slightly, and he raised his head suddenly, as if he had been enlightened.
"I ......"
Sister-in-law Feng smiled slightly: "An Sheng said that she doesn't want to marry for the rest of her life, doesn't Gongzi think that she just hopes to stay in the medicine house for the rest of her life?" ”
Leng Nanxian's face instantly glowed, and the corners of his eyes, eyebrows and lips were raised unconsciously, overflowing with joy.
"Is that really what she said?"
Sister-in-law Feng nodded categorically: "This girl is not the kind of girl who loves vanity, son, in case she misses it, but she really can't regret it." ”
Leng Nanxian's heart seemed to have a little rabbit stationed in it, and he kept rushing left and right inside, and he couldn't help but want to rush out of his throat.
He turned around abruptly, eager to get Ansheng back.
The door opened, and Qianzhou hurriedly came in: "Childe, the master is here!" ”
Leng Nanxian's figure paused, and his hands froze.
An Sheng returned to the mansion and was in a very low mood.
The house was filled with a layer of joy, and everyone was immersed in the excitement of the New Year.
In contrast to the hustle and bustle, Ansheng was a little lonely.
She also didn't understand why Leng Nanxian's every word and every subtle expression now made her feel worried? Why does he sometimes unintentionally raise his hand to make his heart surge? Why did he just make himself lose his soul with a low cold word?
She leaned back on the bed, pulled the tent down, and was in a clean space, her mind full of thoughts, like a cloud, like a mess.
She wanted to make sure if she liked Yu Jingyun? Should you accept him?
And Leng Nanxian's slightly angry face appeared in front of her eyes from time to time, disturbing her thoughts and making her unable to calm down.
Why should Master be angry with himself? And why is he angry at himself?
The more I think about it, the more aggrieved I become.
My heart was like a heavy stone that made me breathless and depressed.
Tossing and turning all night, he woke up listlessly the next day, and suddenly got up, only to remember that today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and he didn't need to go to the medicine store anymore.
calculated in his heart that he would not be able to see Leng Nanxian for several days, and he suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart.
Is it possible to celebrate the New Year with a belly full of grievances?
She sat on the bed and was stunned for a long time, becoming more and more gloomy. got up and washed under the service of the Dragon Boat Festival, and immediately made up her mind, she must go to the medicine house and see Leng Nanxian. If she doesn't open this knot in her heart, she will not be able to eat, sleep well, and she will not be able to live this year.
She is a character who dares to say and think, and without saying a word, she immediately went out to the medicine store.
The door of the medicine house was closed, and a big lock had fallen on the door, and it was already empty.
She stood at the door for a long time, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable. It's as if I've been abandoned, and I'm so sore that I can't just squat down and cry so that I feel better."
At this time, she really understood the importance of this medicine house to herself, as if this was her home, and Leng Nanxian Qianzhou, Sister-in-law Feng and others were her relatives.
Although she knew that they were just going back to the house for the New Year, she would still be lost, wronged, and sad.
When did you become so hypocritical?
Uncle Wang finally couldn't help but ask: "Miss, go back, see that your face is red from the cold." ”
An Sheng touched his face, it was really cold.
She reluctantly glanced at the medicine house again, and climbed into the car slowly: "Uncle Wang, let's go around the city and relax." ”
Uncle Wang has never been talkative, and immediately whipped back to the city.
She thought, Leng Nanxian's home is in the capital, what if she sees him while walking on the street?
He was dressed in a snow suit, and he was so shockingly good-natured, even if there were a sea of people on the street, she would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance.
The carriage went around the streets and alleys of the capital all morning, and An Sheng became more and more disappointed, waving his hand at Uncle Wang dejectedly: "Let's go back." ”
Uncle Wang responded and went back to Xia Mansion directly.
As soon as An Sheng got off the carriage, he heard a report from the people in the house, saying that someone from the palace was coming from the palace and wanted to see her by name.
An Sheng couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what he would have to do with the palace. But he didn't dare to slack off, tidied up his appearance slightly, and hurried to the front hall.
Xia Yuanwai was accompanying him to eat tea, carefully accompanying the smiling face, with a flattering meaning.
On the upper seat sat a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, wearing a blue shirt with a collar, a feminine air, and a superior arrogance in his every move.
An Sheng had entered the palace, and as soon as he saw this person's costume, he immediately understood the identity of the other party.
This person is a eunuch in the palace, and his rank should not be low.
This made An Sheng suddenly think of Gonggong Wen in the palace. These eunuchs are fake tigers, although they are just a slave, they flatter, grovel in front of the masters in the palace, grovel, and go out of the palace gate, but they show off their might, and the high-ranking officials and ministers of the court must also speak well when they see them.
She didn't have a good impression of these eunuchs.
An Sheng stepped into the living room.
When the eunuch saw An Sheng, he curled the corners of his lips slightly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he whispered: "This is An Sheng's girl?" ”
Xia Yuanwai turned his face, saw An Sheng, and hurriedly got up: "Exactly, she is the little girl An Sheng." An Sheng, this is the most proud father-in-law in front of Concubine Wan. ”
