Jiang was not worried about Mrs. Yan at home, so he set off as soon as the matter was settled.

Hua Jin and his brother have been sending Jiang and Yan Shaoning out of the gate of Zhangfu.

The carriage moved slowly, and Jiang's eyes were full of reluctance.

She took out a purse from her cuff and stuffed it into Hua Jin's hand, "It's cold outside, go back quickly!" This bit of silver will be left for you and Brother Chen, and your aunt will pick you up for the New Year next year. "At the end of the day, there is already a nasal voice.

Before Hua Jin could say no, Jiang had already lowered the curtain and instructed the coachman, "Let's go!" ”

Huachen Huajin was also very sour in his heart.

Yan Shaoning in the other carriage poked his head out of the window, half of his body was exposed, and he waved his arms, "When my little uncle becomes a general, I will definitely bring you to fly kites, and take you to the barracks to play." ”

Hua Jin and Hua Chen also waved their hands at him, "Little uncle study hard and be admitted to the martial arts champion in the morning to become a general." ”

Hua Jin did not forget to instruct: "Uncle don't make my grandmother angry again." ”

The carriage went farther and farther, and Yan Shaoning was still looking at them from the window, "Don't worry!" Little uncle, I will learn to protect the people around me. Presumably, the truth of his mother's death this time also touched him deeply, and Hua Jin and Hua Chen also hoped that he could grow up in this incident. He was stubborn, but he had a pure heart.

The carriage turned out of Taiping Lane, Hua Jin and Hua Chen stood for a while, and then the two brothers and sisters turned to look at the gate of Zhangfu.

The stone lion in front of the door is still majestic, the red lantern hanging under the porch is still festive, and the nails on the red lacquered door are still so dazzling.

Roche's death doesn't seem to have had any effect here.

But Hua Jin and Hua Chen felt that this deep mansion compound seemed even more unfamiliar to them.

Hua Jin was the first to come back to her senses, she pulled Hua Chen's sleeve, "Brother, my aunt also gave us private money, guess how much?" ”

Hua Chen smiled and was very cooperative, "My aunt is in charge, and she is always more generous than my little uncle, how can I have a thousand taels per person?" ”

"No matter how many silver tickets there are, my grandmother's purse is really much." Hua Jin jokingly opened the purse and looked at the 20,000 taels of silver tickets in it with wide eyes.

Hua Chen also poked his head over and said incredulously: "Twenty thousand taels? My grandmother's family really likes to give a silver ticket if they don't agree with each other! ”

Hua Jin raised his lips and smiled when he heard his brother's words, "Before, my grandmother gave us 60,000 taels, and my mother left us another 15,000 taels, plus the eldest aunt and the younger uncle gave us. She quietly put the silver ticket back into her purse, "Brother, we actually have 100,000 taels of savings!" ”

"Oops!" Hua Chen scratched his head, "My sister has become a little rich woman!" "It's like the money has nothing to do with him.

Sure enough, he raised his hand and put his warm palm on Hua Jin's head, "Sister, my brother plans to leave all these silver for you as a dowry." Moreover, my brother will also work hard to earn a lot of money for my sister to spend in the future. ”

"My brother is saying this now, but I will definitely listen to others when I take the lady in the future!"

Hua Chen hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "No, no, if she treats her sister badly, her brother won't marry her." ”

Hua Jin showed a bright smile, "A word is a certainty!" She felt that an evil sister-in-law was born in this way.

"It's a deal!" Hua Chen nodded again and again, "If my sister's future husband treats my sister badly, my brother will definitely not spare him." ”

Hua Jinxiao pulled Hua Chen into the courtyard.

…………

After the fifteenth day of the first month, the year has passed.

In the first month, Hua Jin and Hua Chen celebrated their twelfth birthday, and people in each room sent congratulatory gifts.

On the contrary, their father and sister in this room did not express anything.

Seventh girl Hua Wei is still so hard to guess what she is thinking.

The second master, Zhang Yufeng, did not step into the Honghun Courtyard again, and every time he went to ask Mrs. Tai to say goodbye, he avoided their brothers and sisters.

I heard that when I appeared at Mrs. Tai's place, I was also full of alcohol.

After this incident passed, the relationship between Zhang Yufeng and their brother and sister seemed to be even more distant.

The chasm is getting wider and wider, and it is impossible to cross.

However, Hua Jin can also understand that whether he sees their brothers and sisters or Hua Wei, he is afraid that he will remember the painful past that he forgot and wanted to forget, right?

Some people are naturally avoided, even if they are still taking on the responsibilities of a father.

Fortunately, Hua Jin and his brother are not such people, and they don't have hope for this father.

ushered in the new year and grew one year older, Hua Chen returned to Lutong Academy with the excitement of taking the college exam, and Hua Jin also regained the right to the second room.

Hua Jin was thinking about whether to invite a female gentleman to come to the second room to give a lecture.

There are no girls in the long room, and the eldest lady Wang will not mention this matter without the permission of Mrs. Tai.

And the third lady Liu has already paid for the private silver, and the female gentlemen who are red in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework have invited them to their homes.

Although she felt that the sixth girl was introverted, the seventh girl was cold, and she didn't want to have more contact with them. But being confined to the inner courtyard all day long, wouldn't it be suffocating if he didn't find something to do.

Thinking like this, Yan Ran ran in again as before, "The fourth young master's carriage has entered the inner courtyard. ”

This is the first day that my brother went to the academy to attend classes after the Chinese New Year, and Hua Jin hurriedly instructed Bai Tao, "Quickly bring my cloak, I will go to greet my brother." ”

"Fifth girl, be careful and slow!"

Bai Tao didn't remind him like this, and Hua Jin didn't know that he was so anxious.

Put on the cloak, and she was served by Bai Tao out of the Honghun Courtyard.

When he turned to the verandah, seeing Hua Chen's slightly lost expression, Hua Jin couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?" ”

Hua Chen saw Hua Jin curling the corners of his lips and smiling, but he looked a little forced to smile.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Could it be related to Xuanfei?

"I don't know why Brother Xuan didn't come to the academy to take classes."

Sure enough, she guessed correctly.

"Brother, have you inquired about your classmates in the academy?"

Hua Chen couldn't hide his disappointment, "I inquired, no one knows." ”

Also, with his understanding of Xuan Fei, Hua Jin thinks that he will not reveal his whereabouts to anyone.

Does she know the little fresh meat very well?

Hua Jin shook his head and secretly denied it.

"What does my sister mean by shaking her head?" Hua Chen looked at Hua Jin with some puzzlement.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... Brother doesn't have to worry about Xuan Gongzi, maybe he has returned to his hometown to visit relatives and has not returned, he is so skilled, and there are entourages around him, what does my brother have to worry about. ”

"Hmm." Hua Chen bowed, "Brother don't worry, sister don't worry." ”

Is she worried?

Hua Jin raised his forehead and asked Hua Chen about his situation in the academy.

The two brothers and sisters went together to greet Mrs. Tai.

Because I went early, the Chaohui courtyard was still very clean, and even the little maid guarding the door was not there.

Hua Jin deliberately lightened his steps, and heard Mrs. Tai's voice from the warm pavilion, "People have been saved?" ”
