Chapter 344: Birthday (Fine-tuned)
As soon as Jiang Yunfei and Meng Shi moved into Wei's house, Zhou He immediately came to pick up people under pretense and said that everything was a misunderstanding.
Jiang Yunfei didn't listen to a word, and was determined to cut off relations with Zhou He.
Meng Shi had no opinion, but when he saw his son being beaten, he thought of the humiliation he had suffered over the years, and he also wanted to reconcile with Zhou He.
Zhou He touched the ash of his nose and left angrily.
Thinking of Meng's life-saving grace, Mrs. Wei asked her to clean the yard and let her and Jiang Yunfei stay.
Jiang Yunfei doesn't look like a fool now, but in the eyes of Mrs. Wei, she is still far from being worthy of her daughter, and Mrs. Wei wants to help the two get rid of the Zhou family, and then slowly persuade the Meng family to break the marriage contract.
These things are all handled by Mrs. Wei, and Wei Yan's life has not changed in any way because of Jiang Yunfei's stay.
There was a snowfall, Yizhou's winter this year was much colder than in previous years, Wei Yan was afraid of the cold, except for going to the Buddha Hall to accompany Mrs. Wei every day, the rest of the time stayed in the house, and it didn't take long for the New Year to pass.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Father Wei held a banquet in the mansion to entertain Lord Qincha.
At the banquet, Wei Yan saw Jiang Yunfei again.
The bruises on the young man's face had almost disappeared, and he sat in the corner in a plain cyan robe, not arrogant or impatient, quiet and calm, like a good agarwood.
Wei Yan unconsciously glanced at it more.
The young man was very perceptive, and immediately looked up at her gaze.
Looking at each other, Wei Yan's heartbeat missed a beat unconsciously, and she wanted to lower her head in a panic, but saw the corners of the young man's lips rise, revealing a gentle smile.
The smile had a strange soothing power, and the feeling of panic disappeared and was replaced by peace of mind.
It's as if they knew each other before.
It seems that no matter what she does, she can be tolerated.
Wei Yan walked away, and after retracting her gaze, she heard the Lord Qincha say to her father: "I heard that Lushan Academy recently made an exception to accept a student named Zhou Jinchao, do you know which family that young man is?" Why didn't you study at Lushan College before? β
Wei Yan's talent in poetry and singing is average, but she has also heard of Lushan College.
In order to make up for the bereavement of the people of Yizhou, the first emperor specially transferred six bachelors from Tai College to Yizhou to establish Lushan College.
Students who enter Lushan College do not need to take the township examination to become children, and those with outstanding talents do not even need to participate in the imperial examination, as long as they are recommended by the academy, they can become officials.
This also means that those who can be accepted by Lushan Academy as an exception are only one step away from their official positions.
Wei Yan was surprised, and Mrs. Wei also looked sideways at Jiang Yunfei.
The young man still sat quietly, not smug at being brought up by Lord Chincha.
It's a calm one.
Although Mrs. Wei didn't fully approve of Jiang Yunfei, she also felt that his performance at the moment was very good.
Father Wei had known about this for a long time and introduced Jiang Yunfei to Lord Qincha.
After Father Wei finished speaking, Jiang Yunfei got up and replied.
His demeanor is very good, and when he talks to Lord Qincha, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not hurried.
Father Wei and Mrs. Wei glanced at each other, seeing appreciation and worry in each other's eyes.
Such a calm young man is rare no matter where he is, but I don't know if his dementia is really completely cured, and whether there is a possibility of recurrence in the future.
Wei Yan didn't know what her parents were thinking, so she only silently breathed a sigh of relief for the young man.
He behaved so well, if he got an official position, he would be able to protect his mother and no longer be oppressed by his father and brother-in-law.
Wei Yan's appetite was not large, and she was full soon, so she couldn't interject on this occasion, so she simply got up and retreated.
Father and Mrs. Wei spoil her, and every year they have to buy a lot of fireworks and pile them up in the yard for her to play.
Wei Yan was thinking about the fireworks and wanted to see what new tricks there were this year, but when she returned to the courtyard, she was attracted by the lanterns under the porch.
It was a plum blossom lantern.
The lanterns are exquisitely made, and the plum blossoms on the lamps are blooming one after another, which is magnificent.
With just one glance, Wei Yan was born with a yearning.
If there really is such a scene in this world, I don't know if she will have a chance to see it with her own eyes.
"When did this lantern be replaced, and how come the slave has never seen it?"
Qiulan looked dazed, Dongmei asked the little maid to ask, and the little maid said carefully: "This lamp was sent by Zhou Gongzi to someone, he said that if the young lady likes it, she can keep it, and if she doesn't like it, it doesn't hurt to throw it away." β
Of course, Wei Yan liked this lamp, she didn't answer this and asked, "What else did he say?" β
"Mr. Zhou wishes Miss a happy New Year, smooth and worry-free."
Wei Yan didn't give Jiang Yunfei a gift in return, but took the lantern into the room for safekeeping.
The news that Jiang Yunfei was recruited by Lushan Academy was quickly publicized, Zhou He's attitude completely changed, and he didn't want to lose face at the Wei family, so he hid in the dark to chase Jiang Yunfei and intercept him, hoping to coax Jiang Yunfei back to Zhou's house with father-son love.
This is his own son, if he soars in the future, will he dare to deny him as his own father?
Jiang Yunfei was a little annoyed by Zhou He, he finally got rid of Zhou He this day, and when he was about to arrive at Wei's house, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned back and went to the coffin shop to buy a basket of ingots.
Today is the festival day of Hanarong.
In the past, no matter how busy he was, he would remember it, but this year he almost forgot.
The new emperor sent someone to repair the cemetery, and there were guards around the cemetery, Jiang Yunfei has a different identity now, and he can't go to the cemetery to worship, so he can only find a no-man's place outside the city to burn the ingots.
The delay was a bit long, and it was already night when I returned to Wei's house.
Meng Shi anxiously guarded at the gate, and as soon as he saw Jiang Yunfei, he greeted him, grabbed his hand and looked up and down, and kept muttering: "Chao'er, why did you come back so late, but what happened on the way?" β
Before Zhou He sent people to make trouble, she left a shadow on the Meng family, and she was afraid that Zhou He would not be able to persuade her son to return to Zhou's house, so she ruthlessly destroyed it.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Yunfei was depressed and didn't want to speak.
Meng didn't dare to ask more, and was about to change the topic, when a colorful firework suddenly exploded above his head.
Immediately after that, the second, the third......
Jiang Yunfei realized that the Wei family should have some happy event today, and turned his head to look at Meng'er, and Meng said: "Today is Yan'er's birthday, and the Wei family has to set off a lot of fireworks every year to celebrate her birthday, do you have any congratulatory gifts for Yan'er?" β
Jiang Yunfei was shocked, the fireworks in his ears were still ringing, and he felt as if his whole person had been cut off.
As Jiang Yunfei, today is the memorial day for his wife, and he should mourn and cherish her memory.
But as Zhou Jinchao, today is his fiancΓ©e's birthday, and he should celebrate her and be happy for her.
If Wei Yan is the new student of Huarong, he wants to go to Wei Yan, and the past has become a constraint and an obstacle......
