"Auntie is in the house?"

After Ye Yumeng's death, Yao Xu's studies were unattended. Yao Feng wanted to save trouble, so he wanted to send Yao Xu to study in a well-known Confucian academy in Jiujiang County after the year.

Yao Xi originally promised to teach Yao Xu personally after the imperial examination, but now there is a sudden change, and Yao Xi, who is still in the school, does not know.

This time he came to find Zheng Jiao, and Yao Xu wanted to stay in Jingzhaocheng - how about his father and aunt, Yao Xu knew it in his heart, and he was afraid that his aunt would hurt his brother.

"Young Master Xu, after the banquet, the lady went to the master's room, and he hasn't come back yet."

It could be seen that Yao Xu was in a hurry to find Zheng Jiao, and the maid replied, "Young Master Xu doesn't have to wait, Mrs. and Master are very affectionate...... If you are in a hurry, it is better to listen to me, and when the lady returns, I will convey it on your behalf. ”

This maid is Zheng Jiao's own person, Yao Xu has studied at Ye Yumeng since he was a child, and he doesn't have a good impression of the people around his aunt, so he didn't pay attention to the maid.

"If it's inconvenient for you to talk to me, then go back to your room and rest. Madame can't come back from the master until noon on weekdays, and if Young Master Xu waits here all the time, he will naturally be unbearable. ”

"Thank you, then I'll come back tomorrow to find my aunt." Yao Xu didn't want to say more, bowed to the maid, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

The outside of Yao's house has long been filled with the smell of firecrackers and fireworks, just like the smoke rising from every house, and the smoke of fireworks and firecrackers penetrates into the nose, which is irreplaceable warmth.

The leftovers were cleaned up by the maids and guards, and they would be sold to the swill collectors tomorrow, and they became the food for pig farmers in the suburbs of Beijing to feed the pigs.

Yao Xu returned to the room, there was no moon on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it was difficult for the stars to compete with the lanterns in the mansion, and he wanted to write a letter to his brother, but found that the ink in the inkstone had long since dried up.

remembered that when Mrs. Night was there, she taught her two brothers to study, and everything was very detailed......

"Auntie, even if it's love, is it worth going out of your way to stay by your father's side?"

A thin layer of ash fell on the case, and the distant fireworks reflected on the lacquered wooden table. This case is still the dowry brought by Ye Yumeng, which was given to Yao Xu when Yao Xu was in kindergarten.

The sound of the firecrackers exploding alarmed the pair of "lovers" in the tent, and the lights and candles flickered again, and Yao Fengzhi wrapped his arms around Zheng Jiao tighter......

The wind swept through the lanterns, and the soft yellow light was supposed to be a warm place, but after the wind passed, the candle flame dimmed a little, and the lanterns that could not illuminate the whole yard looked useless.

The yard lacks this faint warm yellow, cold bricks and tiles, which makes the whole yard a little bleak.

"Zhicen, why can't my nephew be like you?"

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Meng Mingji still did not stay in the Meng Mansion, but Zheng Zhicen couldn't stand it, afraid that the old man Meng Qi would feel lonely alone, so he stayed in the Meng Mansion to accompany him.

"Meng Xiaogongzi will naturally be fine, he is still young now, and it is normal to be ignorant and play around." Zheng Zhicen smiled and comforted, "Don't worry, under your education, the little boy will always be fine one day." ”

"Hmph, I haven't seen you fool around when you were young, why did he want to indulge?"

Zheng Zhicen's words are in Meng Jing's heart, his brother died early, and his sister-in-law is gone, this nephew is not indulgent, and Meng Jing himself can't get over it.

Yes, before Zheng Zhicen replied, Meng Jingfu said again, "Then he went to the barracks without telling me like this, and he should also indulge?" If I lose my life one day, how should I explain it to my brother and sister-in-law......

"The little boy's parents went early, so naturally they need more time to grow." Zheng Zhicen bowed and continued, "This military camp is a good place to grow, the little boy has the ability, and he won't have an accident." ”

"Hey......"

"At my age, I only have this one nephew, I don't care if I don't have any ability, my Meng family doesn't lack him to glorify his ancestors, it's good to be good!"
