24 Chapter 24

On this day, Rong Wen went out of the Jingyin Courtyard to go to the little uncle, yesterday the little uncle said that he was going to go to the field the day after tomorrow to do business, there is an uninhabited courtyard on the east side of the ancestral hall of the Hou Mansion, and the account books of his business abroad over the years are placed there, and he took her there to look at the account books and teach her experience.

Gu Shufan, who is also provincial, has to go to play.

Rong Wen hadn't taken a few steps when a girl came to her, Rong Wen wanted to signal and leave, but the girl opposite called her with a gentle smile: "Miss Rong." ”

Seeing Rong Wen's suspicious face, she reported to her home: "I am Yan Yan, the second girl of the Yan family, and the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is my aunt, and I, like Miss Rong, are cousins who live in the Hou Mansion." ”

As soon as Yan Yan came up, he deliberately pulled the 'camp' and pulled her and Rong Wen together, as both people who lived in the Hou Mansion, they would have more empathy.

Rong Wen responded politely: "Miss Yan." ”

After she finished speaking, she was about to walk again, Yan Yan stepped forward to stop her: "Miss Rong is from Yangzhou, she must not be familiar with the capital, the sun has been exceptionally warm in the past two days, if Miss Rong is willing, I can take Miss Rong to walk around in the capital." ”

Yan Yan smiled softly: "I lived in the Hou Mansion a few years ago, and I am more familiar with Miss Rong here, if Miss Rong needs help in the future, just come to me." ”

Rong Wen didn't expect Yan Yan to know so much about her, at this time, whether Yan Yan said or looked at her attitude, it was like the owner of Hengyuan Houfu was greeting the guests, Rong Wen's expression was very light, and he responded politely: "I have something to do today, let's do it another day." ”

Yan Yan swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, looking at Rong Wen's back until she disappeared, she chuckled lightly, and said to her maid: "At this time, I came to Hengyuan Marquis's Mansion, but I just wanted to climb the door to have a good family, she was born beautiful, but it's a pity, the family background is too poor." ”

Yan Yan's maid held her own girl: "Slave maid look, the girl is much more beautiful than her, and she really dares to climb the high gate of Hengyuan Hou's Mansion no matter what her identity, her mother is just a cousin of the Hou Mansion, and the slave maid is quite arrogant." ”

Yan Yan admonished her maid with her eyes: "It's just a poor person, why don't we compare with her." Yan Yan returned to her home because of the New Year, and only came back yesterday, her mother is Lin Ting's sister-in-law, married to Chengtian Mansion, and deliberately dragged her sister to tell her daughter about family affairs, Yan Yan has been living in the Hou Mansion.

She only came back yesterday, and all she inquired about Rong Wen's family history, and she didn't know what had happened in the Hou Mansion recently, she was also a cousin, and she was very pitiful to Rong Wen, so she wanted to come to comfort her, but found that she didn't seem to need it.

Yan Yan straightened his sideburns and said to the maid, "Let's go, go to the library pavilion." ”

——

Hengyuan Hou Mansion is a century-old family in the capital, the mansion is spacious, in addition to the Jing'an Hall where the old lady lives and the Jingyin Courtyard where Rong Wen lives in the north of the backyard of the Hou Mansion, there is also a three-story attic library to supervise the children of the family to study diligently and continue the century-old foundation of the Hou Mansion.

It's just that at this time, few people who have been officials in the court have gone there, and those who are still studying have gone to Guozijian.

In recent days, Gu Mu has not returned to the mansion given by His Majesty, and has been living in the Hou Mansion.

There are more than a dozen bookcases arranged on the third floor of the library pavilion, separated by landscape screens, Gu Mu is sitting by the window on the west side of the attic at this time, the cold morning light hits the side of the handsome Langjun, and it shows a bit of noble and cold arrogance, the well-defined face is alienated because of the seriousness of the pen and the words, the green smoke curls in the copper beast furnace in front of the case, and the Longhong tea that is still steaming on the left hand.

The tea fragrance is fresh, and the man wears an ink coat, revealing a crane pattern embroidered with gold thread between his hands, which is the same as the crane pattern white jade worn on his waist.

Yan Yan came to the library pavilion, the servants guarding the library did not stop it, the Hou Mansion family rules have long stated that reading and progressing is the benign nature of people, and everyone in the Hou Mansion can enter the library pavilion.

Yan Yan asked her maid to give her a trim on her clothes and the headdress between her hair, and smelled the fragrance she used on her body today, and her heart thumped into the library, she had not seen him since years ago, and her heart was both expectant and afraid.

Yan Yan held the skirt in one hand and put it in her heart with the other, thinking about how to open her mouth when she saw him, whether to pretend to meet him by chance or to come to him on purpose, without waiting for her to give her answer, Jing Si stood on the wooden ladder at the entrance of the third floor and stopped directly in front of her, and her tone was quite unkind: "My son-in-law is handling official business, my cousin girl should go elsewhere to find a book." ”

Jing Si was also very polite to Yan Yan at first, he couldn't bear this cousin girl to come to his son-in-law every once in a while, and he was punished more than once for this, and his tone was naturally not good, the moment he stopped Yan Yan, he said 'oops' in his heart, he was a cat that caught mice, fortunately his eyes were sharp, and he didn't let this mouse get in, if a cousin accidentally mixed in, he would be scolded and fined silver.

Thinking of this, Jing Si looked even more impatient, as if the butt of the board was still hurting last time, and he said indifferently: "Cousin girl, don't be embarrassed by Jing Si, let's go." ”

Yan Yan was so easy to dismiss, and said to Jing Si: "I'll go in and find a book, I won't disturb my cousin, Jing Si, you help me go in and pass on a message." ”

As she spoke, she was about to stuff the silver into Jing Si's hand, but Jing Si was so frightened that she hurriedly retreated, just like a soldering iron that had fallen in her hand: "Cousin take it back, I'll go in and tell Childe that is." ”

Jing Si bypassed the screens, walked to the west window on the third floor, and replied respectfully: "Childe, the cousin is here, saying that she is looking for a book to read-let, let her in?" ”

Gu Mu's hand paused slightly, but he glanced out the window, and said in a clear voice: "Let her in." ”

Jing Si was stunned, his son-in-law looked gentle, and his words were soft, how could he not have the same attitude towards his cousin as before? He got the words of his son, and went to invite Yan Yan in.

Yan Yan walked in slowly, and when he saw the handsome Lang Jun in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and then called in a soft voice: "Cousin." ”

The soft voice fell in Gu Mu's ears, and the gentle eyebrows and eyes of Shicai were dyed cold, he did not raise his eyes, continued to write, and instructed Jing Si on the side: "Help the cousin find the book and send the cousin away." His words were gentle, but they were detached.

Yan Yan was a little unnatural, she thought that she could come in, so she could sit here and talk to her cousin, but she didn't want to drive her away as soon as she came in.

Yan Yan casually said a book to Jing Si, let Jing Si find it, she approached Gu Mu's bookcase, her eyes were directly attracted by a thick booklet in the corner of the bookcase, and asked curiously: "Cousin, what is this thick booklet?" ”

Yan Yan was very curious, thinking that his cousin was also watching Gonzo, so he raised his hand to get it, but Gu Mu said in a cold tone: "Don't move." He raised his eyes and glanced at Yan Yan: "Go out." ”

Coincidentally, Jingsi also found the book that Yan Yan wanted, and Yan Yan gave a salute and left reluctantly.

Jing Si breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his son-in-law, since Zhuangzi came back from outside the city, his son mostly lived in the Hou Mansion, and he did not deal with official affairs in the empty study, but came to this library.

I don't know why.
