Chapter 44: Fang Guijun's Reminder
It's not that there are no swings in the house when they live in Budong Town, but they use the scraps left over from the furniture, which is not too strong and not very good-looking. Wen Tiantian was nervous in her heart, knowing that Qiu Yan wanted to take her around to familiarize herself with the environment, so she nodded in response.
The two of them walked on the road, and many people heard that the second young master had taken the girl back to the palace, so they put down their work and ran to watch and say hello. Wen Tiantian suddenly became the focus of the entire Pingwang Mansion, surrounded by everyone to ask for warmth, and everyone's excitement made the back garden that had been silent for a long time lively.
Seeing that Tiantian was so popular, Qiu Yan shook her head and chuckled.
"Are your families so welcoming? Everyone was around me, and I was a little panicked. ”
It was easy to get out of the crowd, and Wen Tiantian returned to him with a red face. She has been used to being quiet in Budong Mountain for a long time, and she suddenly feels a little unbearable to be surrounded by so many people and cared for.
Reaching out and stroking her slightly messy hair, Qiu Yan smiled: "They don't usually do this, every time I come back, they lower their heads and don't dare to talk more." You see, it's the same now, everyone just revolves around you and hangs me aside. ”
"That's true! They seem to be a little afraid of you, but they like me very much. Qiu Yan, are you fierce when you're at home? ”
Wen Tiantian was pulled by him to sit on the big swing, swaying with her feet crossed, like a little girl who didn't know anything about the world.
"Do you think I'm fierce?" Qiu Yan looked helpless, gently helped her push the swing and said, "After my father died, my eldest brother moved, and the whole palace was counting on me. But it's rare for me to come back once in the long years, even if I am in the capital, I often need to stay in the palace to deal with the government, there is no way, I can't take care of the affairs of the palace, and the relationship with everyone is slowly estranged. ”
In fact, he remembers that when he was a child, his family was always very lively, and children often came to play. Because there are not so many rules in his house, the subordinates are also willing to play games with the little masters. It's just that everything has changed after the death of the old prince, he is too busy to go home and his status outside is getting higher and higher, relatives, friends and people in the house have also begun to slowly keep their distance from him, and they don't even dare to say more about concern.
His expression was a little lonely, Wen Tiantian tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "You can't be blamed for this, at least you still have a home to go back to, right?" I don't even have a family, so it's good that all these years have passed! Well...... Well, for everyone's sake, I'll come over for you more when you're not free in the future. With the relationship between the two of us, how about playing swings and enjoying flowers and eating delicious food for you for free? ”
"Oh, then I really thank you!"
"No, it should."
Before entering the garden, I heard the conversation between the two on the swing, and the old lady who had cleaned up paused, and chuckled in a low voice: "What an interesting girl, no wonder it can make Yan'er tempted." ”
The maidservant beside her also nodded, and said with relief: "The second young master is worried every time he comes back, and he hasn't been so happy for a long time. It can be seen that he really likes Miss Wen, and this time the dowry gift that you have been preparing for many years can finally come in handy. ”
"Yes, it's good that Yan'er likes it, but it's a pity for Shiyue...... Ay! ”
The emotional thing is the most forceful, if you don't want me, but Shiyue made a deep mistake and couldn't get what she wanted, and it was pitiful.
The old lady sighed again and again, but it was useless to say anything about the matter, and then she took her mind and went into the garden.
"What are you talking about, so happy?"
Wen Tiantian, who was talking and laughing, suddenly became nervous when she heard the voice, and quickly jumped off the swing, stood upright, and introduced herself obediently.
"Hello old lady, my name is Wen Tiantian, and I am Qiu Yan's ...... Friend. ”
Seeing that she was so nervous that she stammered, Qiu Yan smiled and took her hand and teased: "It's also your future daughter-in-law." ”
Ha?
Wen Tiantian secretly glanced at him, does Qiu Yan usually talk to her mother like this?
The old lady looked carefully at the girl in front of her, and always felt that there were some indescribable familiarities, and when she heard this, she immediately glanced at her son and said, "Speak well!" Learn from someone outside with a smooth tone, don't scare other girls. ”
turned to look at Wen Tiantian, and the few wrinkles on her face bloomed: "Oh, Miss Wen, we will all be a family in the future, just call my aunt." Tsk, this girl is so beautiful, my Yan'er is blessed. ”
The more the old lady looked at her daughter-in-law, the more satisfied she became, completely ignoring Qiu Yan who was standing aside.
"Come on, come on, aunt will take you to eat delicious food, and let that stinky boy go to the study by himself."
Wen Tiantian looked at Qiu Yan and stopped talking.
"It's okay, that's what my mother is. The chefs in the palace cook better than me, you go and try it, if you like, let's leave and take a few chefs home. Qiu Yan raised the corners of his mouth and said.
Speechless, you want to poach people from your own mother?
Wen Tiantian couldn't cry or laugh: "You have to take the chefs away, Fang Guijun has no flower cakes to eat, see if she scolds you!" ”
She blurted out these words purely out of her mind, but who knew that Qiu Yan and the old lady stared at her in shock as if they had been struck by lightning after hearing this.
"I, did I say something wrong?"
Wen Tiantian was startled, thinking that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly closed her mouth and lowered her head slightly, her ears were red.
The first to react was Qiu Yan, who grabbed her waist with one hand and explained softly: "No, it's just that no one has dared to call my mother's name for many years." You see, she was so moved that tears were about to fall, why don't you take out the gift you bothered to pick out and coax it? ”
Fang Guijun's eyes moistened instantly after being surprised, and he turned his eyes to glare at his son, and then saw Wen Tiantian suddenly realize that he handed over the small gift box that he had been carrying for a long time, and quickly took it.
"Old lady, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare, I only bought a small gift temporarily, please don't dislike it."
"How so? I'm very happy if you want to come back with Yan'er, what kind of gifts do you need to bring? Fang Guijun took the palm-sized gift box and did not open it in a hurry, but pulled Wen Tiantian to sit in the small pavilion on the side. Qiu Yan accompanied him, poured flower tea for the two of them, and did not forget to pick a piece of chrysanthemum cake with exquisite workmanship and put it on Wen Tiantian's plate.
Such careful care fell into Fang Guijun's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Yan'er's attitude towards girls has always been estranged, and he always keeps a proper distance from the famous girls who admire him. Humane, he is gentle on the surface, but he is indifferent and affectionate in his heart, in fact, in the final analysis, he just didn't meet a woman who could make his heart move.
The two of them frowned beside each other, and Fang Guijun withdrew his gaze and looked at the small gift box in his hand.
Gently opened, what was lying inside was not a gorgeous and precious jade agate, but a silver hairpin with simple workmanship, and the top of the hairpin was decorated with a little cold plum, simple and elegant. However, the style of this hairpin is beautiful, but there is no uniqueness at all, and the workmanship is not exquisite, and it is really a bit shabby to give it to an elder of her status as a gift.
Fang Guijun rubbed the dark flower lines on the plain silver hairpin between his fingers, and his eyebrows and eyes were soft. She seemed to recall a person through the hairpin, and it seemed that that person just hurried through that period of the past, leaving no trace, and there was no need to mention it after decades.
"Old lady, I picked this hairpin from a jewelry store passing by. I think the style is ordinary, so I used a steel needle to carve some lines on it, if you don't like me, next time I will pick out some gorgeous styles to match your clothes. ”
Wen Tiantian said sincerely, and the wording in her words even sounded a little clumsy. Qiu Yan sighed, held her hand and said, "When you picked the hairpin, I knew it would be like this." ”
"Tiantian, your gift is really sent to my mother's heart, she must have something to say to you. I'll go to the study to get something first, and you two will talk slowly. ”
"Qiu Yan?"
What's wrong with this guy today, he always looks mysterious. She is not familiar with this lady of the palace, and she may have offended her by saying the wrong thing just now, what should she do if Qiu Yan is leaving!
"Don't worry, if my mother cries, you can help hand me a handkerchief. She usually loves to cry, just coax. ”
Fang Guijun couldn't wait to pick up the box and throw it at him, this stinky boy was talking more and more not big or small, too skinny!
"Say less! Hurry up and wash my face for me, and wear a small mask at home to pretend to be a ghost, and take it off quickly. ”
Qiu Yan secretly winked at Wen Tiantian again, and then honestly walked out of the garden with an honest "oh".
Without him gags by his side, Wen Tiantian became even more nervous.
"Miss Wen, the old man took the liberty of asking, where do you live?"
"If I go back to my aunt, my family doesn't live in Dongshan, and I usually rely on practicing medicine to earn some money. I have known Qiu Yan for less than half a year, and I have always been taken care of by him, and I was lucky to take me to the capital to play. ”
Wen Tiantian has always felt that it really took half of her life's good luck to be able to meet Qiu Yan after coming to this world, she can't do anything by herself, and she can't eat enough, but Qiu Yan is just the opposite, diligent and hardworking, gentle, handsome and responsible, she handles things at home and outside the house in an orderly manner with one person, and can also help her make money to buy a house in the town, which perfectly makes up for every shortcoming on her body.
Such a man who can't be found with a lantern just bumps into her hands, and he is unlucky!
Fang Guijun was more excited than the previous second every time he heard her say a word, and at this time, he couldn't help but start wiping the corners of his eyes with a small handkerchief.
"Since you are from Budongshan, you must know the Budong Immortals, how has she been doing all these years?"
"I ...... She...... This ......" Wen Tiantian suddenly realized something, could it be that Fang Guijun, who was in the capital, didn't know Dongxian? It seems that Bai Mengying's social circle, which is unreliable, is quite wide!
Seeing that she was embarrassed, Fang Guijun smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, the White Immortal is not an ordinary person after all, and it's normal for you to not know her at your age." I'm just curious to ask, girl, don't mind. ”
"Of course not. Auntie, are you not an old man from Dongxian? ”
"Yes, not all." Fang Guijun knew that young people didn't like to listen to long speeches, so she briefly talked about her youth.
More than 30 years ago, there was a serial murder case in the capital, and it was speculated that someone was using the deceased to practice evil arts. At that time, she had not yet married into the palace, and after the old prince was in charge of this matter, she was looking for capable people everywhere to get rid of evil spirits.
Later, the case was closed, the murderer was brought to justice, and Bu Dongxian disappeared from the capital. That farewell is ten years, ten years later Qiu Yan was born, Bu Dongxian and his partner traveled here, and learned that the prince of Ping's mansion was happy to visit him.
"Miss Wen, Yan'er was blessed by Budongxian when she was born, and twenty years have passed in a flash, and I am always grateful for Budongxian." Fang Guijun sighed, and looked at Wen Tiantian with soft eyebrows, "Yan'er has been quite assertive and disobedient since she was a child, and she ran out to travel alone with her family behind her back when she was a teenager, and it is impossible for me as a mother not to worry. It's just that I know that this kid is blessed by the blessings given by Budongxian, so I will let him go to the rivers and lakes, and even after my father-in-law died, my eldest son became a half-wasted person, and I didn't stop him from continuing to set foot on the battlefield. ”
"You are from Budong Town, you look the same as Budong Immortal back then, and you can accurately call my name and say my preferences when you first meet, which is enough to see that you have a great relationship with Budong Immortal."
Fang Guijun is nearly fifty years old, but he is very well maintained, the skin on his face is smooth and delicate, and his beautiful eyes are full of gentleness and peace.
Wen Tiantian didn't know what to say for a while, the relationship between her and Bai Mengying was actually difficult to explain clearly if she thought about it carefully, like a friend and a family member, and sometimes a little girlfriend.
Seeing that she hesitated and didn't speak, there was a little thought in her eyes, and Fang Guijun was not reluctant. Put the plum hairpin back in the box, and sighed in a low voice: "What a smart girl, a little bit can be penetrated." ”
"Since you are willing to come to the capital, don't mention your true identity to anyone in the future. Danger is everywhere here, and if the evil spirit is not eliminated, the capital will not be able to stabilize for a day. Tiantian, remember to come to Pingwangfu to play often in the future, except for Qiuyan, the palace is your second home. ”
