(10) Past life III

This Qingfeng Academy is a two-in, two-out courtyard, with three main rooms in the front yard where students review their homework and study their homework, and a total of four rooms on the left and right sides of the side that are placed by students.

In the front yard, evergreen trees are planted in front of the left and right wings on the side of the courtyard, and there are stone benches and stone tables in the courtyard.

In the three main rooms of the inner courtyard, the owner of the private school, Mr. Zhou, and two of them are used as study rooms and warehouses by himself, one of the three side rooms on the left side of the inner courtyard is to house Mr. Zhou's helper An Fuzi, and the other is placed Fan Wenshu, the one next to Fan Wenshu is placed Ji Yan, and on the right side of the inner courtyard, one is a large stove room, one is a cooking room, and the other is a sundries. Further back is the backyard, which is a large open space planted with some fruits and vegetables, and a thatched house has been built.

In the evening of this day, Fan Gongzi and Ji Yan, who was also very handsome, were reading a book at a desk in the room, and a bright figure rushed towards his dilapidated room.

In the past few days, she couldn't wait for Fan Wenshu's active explanation, and her heart began to be anxious.

She thought of a way, got acquainted with his attendant Ji Yan, and wanted to inquire about the news from his attendant Ji Yan, but after several days, she was embarrassed not to ask.

Now she's looking for Ji Yan.

The door was wide open, the window was also wide open, An Yue walked to the door frame of Ji Yan's room and greeted him, stood in front of the door frame again, and said to Ji Yan, who was still reading: "What other books are you reading?

Ji Yan raised his gaze from the book, saw that it was Miss An, smiled, and said, "It's okay if you don't read a book." ”

An Yue nodded, with a dazed look, thought about it and glanced back at the wing room of Fan Gongzi opposite, then turned his head, cleared his throat, and asked, "When will you and your son-in-law go back?"

Ji Yan sat on the bench in front of the desk, shook his head and said, "It depends on what the son means, and I don't know~"

"That's right, oh, doesn't your wife urge you?

Ji Yan shook his head and said, "My wife will follow the son's will, and she will not urge him, there should be nothing in the house recently~"

An Yue nodded, thought for a while, and continued: "Then don't you and your son-in-law want your wife and master? His father~ Don't you want your father and mother too?

An Yue turned left and right~

And also~

She wondered, since Madame didn't urge, why did he leave suddenly last time?

Is something suddenly happening at home?

If it doesn't happen~

No, how should she ask what happened two years ago~

Before she could think clearly, Ji Yan, who was sitting at the desk, suddenly smiled, he thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the reunion day, why didn't he miss his father and mother, didn't he miss home? But his home~

Ji Yan smiled, a little sad and bitter: "My parents died early. ”

"I... I'm sorry, I don't know..."An Yue was shocked.

"Nothing. ”

An Yue was a little embarrassed to come, she saw Ji Yan smiling sadly, a trace of embarrassment appeared on her face, she thought about it, and said in a comforting tone, "Can you tell me about you? For example, how did you enter the Fan Mansion?

Ji Yan looked sideways at An Yue, he smiled lightly at An Yue, thinking of the past, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's okay to talk about it." ”

"When I was 5 years old, I completely lost my parents, and it was my wife who took me in mercifully. ”

"Later, I have been with the son, the son is kind, treats me very well, and also took me to the academy to read and read together, I followed the son to read and write, and accompanied the son to participate in the children's test, and took the test to show talent, lift people, but I am not as smart as the son, and I fell off the list that year when the son lifted people. ”

An Yue thought that his life experience was already pitiful, but in those two years, there was an accident at home, and in order to support his family, his beloved suddenly left him~

Unexpectedly, Ji Yan's life experience in front of him was even more pitiful.

He lost his parents when he was a child, and then the days under the fence were the days when he was sent to the fence, where he could tell in a few words.

"Isn't it time for the exam next year, just work hard, you have to believe in yourself, no worse than your son-in-law. An Yue said seriously, with comfort.

Ji Yan looked at her serious appearance and was very grateful.

"Yes, just try harder. Ji Yan said with a smile.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and An Yue took his leave, but he still didn't ask if he wanted to ask~

Hey, she sighed when she walked out of Ji Yan's room, and she slowly walked to her room.

She didn't know that in the next room where she lived, there was a man in white, who was standing by the windowsill and watching her every move, when he saw her turn back and go to the house, he left the windowsill alertly.

He listened carefully to the sound outside, guessing that An Yue had already returned to the room, his face showed some bitterness, and he smiled self-deprecatingly.

After two years, how can you stay in Jiangnan Town as if you are not as comfortable and safe as you were two years ago? Obviously the town is still that town, the academy is still the academy, and the people are still the same person, but it feels different.

What's the difference?

It was about that An Yue, every time he faced him, he had one calm face after another and cold words from time to time.

He looked at her, and she seemed to have a better relationship with Ji Yan, whom she met later, than with him.

I went to look for him every once in a while, and I saw that the two of them were also talking happily from time to time.

He frowned, thinking that Ji Yan's talent and appearance were almost not below him......

What is she going to do?

He remembered that before he left two years ago, didn't she seem to be on good terms with Granny Niu's third son?

Didn't you give him the purse you embroidered? But how did you hear that the third son of the cow woman had already married a wife?

He frowned again, unable to figure it out.

In this academy, there are many people who can't figure it out, not only him, but also her.

A day later, in the evening, the girl who had insomnia yesterday went to look for Ji Yan again.

"Ji Yan is going to have dinner together in a while. An Yue knocked on Ji Yan's door again, his door was not closed, and An Yue leaned on the door frame.

"Okay, thank you, Miss An, for the reminder. ”

Ji Yan looked up from the book, he smiled again, and said, "Thank you, Miss An." ”

"Why do you say so many thank you?" An Yue's face also showed a faint smile, she came to inquire about Fan Gongzi today.

If she doesn't ask again, tonight, I'm afraid, it's another sleepless night, since he came back, she hasn't slept well for so many nights.

She sighed in her heart, she had been thinking about it for a day, and now she was cheeky and wanted to come.

Then she beat around the bush, mustered up the courage to finally open her mouth directly.

But she is still young, how does she know, in this world.

There are some things that you don't want to ask about, and some things don't ask about them from others.

She found out many things about Fan Gongzi from Ji Yan's mouth.

It turned out that he was born in the capital, and his ancestors have been officials for generations, although the official position is not too high, but he also has a good foundation. His father was born as a scholar in his early years, and later he was released as an official, and when he arrived in Dengzhou, he directly served as a long history. His mother is also the youngest daughter of an official family in Beijing, the third lady.

His parents had only one child under his knees, and he was very precious since he was a child.

And he won Xiucai when he was 14 years old, and he won Juren when he was 17 years old.

On that day, he wore a white brocade robe and rode a favorite horse through the streets of Dengzhou.

He fell in love with his teaching mentor, Miao Xiushu, the only daughter in the family.

If Lang has a concubine, it will be a good story, but Lang has a concubine who has no intention.

He returned home that day in despair.

If it's just like this, he is sad and uncomfortable and drunk, and the time will pass after a long time, but the difficulty is that the Miao girl often comes to him to complain.

Miss Miao's sweetheart is Fan Gongzi's classmate Xuanzhang, after the Miao girl and Xuanzhang got along, she still cried in front of Fan Gongzi all day long, crying about how Xuanzhang treated her badly, how kind of affection, Fan Gongzi looked at Miss Miao distressed, and was annoyed why Xuanzhang didn't know how to cherish it?

In the end, he was really depressed, and he didn't have the heart to go to Beijing to take the exam for a while.

One day, he was drinking in the wine shop to kill his sorrows, and he happened to meet Xuanzhang and a few sons who were also drinking and chatting on the side, and Xuanzhang also saw him and thought of him and Miao Xiushu.

Xuanzhang sarcastically said a few words to Fan Gongzi, Fan Gongzi already had a depression knot in his heart, so he replied to Xuanzhang a few words, the gentleman didn't move, not to mention that they were still classmates, and the two only made a few words, and they were dissuaded by others. I don't know where Miao Xiushu got the news, so she hurried over, and then looked at Xuanzhang with a distressed face, her words were full of distress and worry, and she didn't even give Fan Gongzi a look.

Fan Gongzi saw it in his eyes, and only felt a little ironic.

Afterwards, Miao Xiushu also found him in person and accused him of not arguing with that Xuanzhang~

He looked at Miss Miao, looked at her accusation of himself, and sneered in his heart.

When he returned to his study, he began to drink.

After sobering up, he went on a study tour.

Later, he went out to study and returned home two years ago~

When An Yue heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What happened when he returned home two years ago?"

Ji Yan sighed, thought of the news he knew later, and said truthfully, "It was that Miao girl who had an accident~"

Boom, something happened to that Miao girl?

An Yuemingyan's face turned pale in an instant, she endured the bitterness, sadness, surprise and pain, and asked again: "What happened to that Miao girl?

"It's... There may be a correspondence... Two years ago, the Miao girl and the son's classmates separated, the son married a well-connected lady, I heard that the Miao girl was sad, wrote a letter to the son, the son went back, and hurriedly went to the Miao family, the lady of the house knew about it and fell a lot of things angrily~"

An Yue leaned on the door frame, a little stunned, and she quickly reached out to hold the door frame.

"Wrote a letter?"

Wrote a letter, wrote a letter, and then left her?

She lowered her head slightly, wanting to hide the emotions on her face, for fear that Ji Yan would find out, so she spoke again: "Then do you know why your son-in-law came this time?"

Ji Yan looked at An Yue, who lowered his head, and shook his head a little strangely: "I don't know about this~"

He really didn't know.

Don't know?

Epistle?

Scold~

An Yue's calm mood was almost untenable, and her hands began to tremble, and then she only said one word, I said goodbye first, and then turned around and ran to her room.

Leaving behind him with a helpless face.

She ran away?

An Yue burst into tears while running, it turned out that the man, the man she fell in love, it turned out that he had already had a beloved~

But what are they?

What are the bits and pieces before them?

Nothing?

yes, it must be nothing to him~

It's ridiculous that I still want to wait for his explanation.

But he didn't explain.

It's ridiculous, I'm really ridiculous.

She pushed open the door and locked it with her hands, bypassed the screen, sat down on the bed, and buried her head in the quilt.

Her chest hurt so much, even more so than the pain he had brought two years ago when he said goodbye.

Last time, she still had at least a trace of thought.

But this time, others told her that even her thoughts shouldn't be~

How sad?

It turned out that the explanation she had been waiting for was that he had already had a beloved girl, so he left overnight because of a letter from that girl?

At that time, she was innocent, thinking that he was his person when he saw his body.

She still thought that he didn't say he was responsible at that time and just stumbled away, because he was waiting for an opportunity? After all, wasn't he so good with herself later?

Later, he said that he would leave, and she stupidly weaved a reason in his heart for him that there was a major emergency in his family, and she had been thinking for the past two years, if it wasn't for a major emergency at home, how could he say that he would leave?

She always thought that he wanted to go home with him because he had himself in his heart. And he was in such a hurry and in a hurry, so he didn't say that he would give her an official identity~

In the past two years, every time in the dead of night, she would think that back then, she didn't go home with him, so she missed it?

If she had gone with him that day, she would have been very affectionate now.

But at this moment, Ji Yan's words made her realize how ridiculous and self-deceptive her thoughts were~

Fan Wenshu in the backyard saw An Yue running out of Ji Yan's room at the window, An Yue ran fast, he didn't see her expression clearly, but look, it seems to be in a trance?

He frowned, a little puzzled, a little worried in his heart, then thought about it, took another step, and opened his door.

went to knock on An Yue's door, but knocked once, no one answered, knocked again, no one answered, and then pushed the door, it was a reverse lock.

He frowned and called An Yue to the inner room, and An Yue, who was sitting on the ground secretly crying in the room, heard his voice.

She wiped a handful of tears, her face was full of pain and sadness, and when she heard the voice calling her, she felt resentment in her heart, "You go." ”

Then, he said, "You go." ”

Then the man outside heard the words clearly and told him to go.

He looked at the closed and locked door, looked again, and she said again, telling him to go~

A resentment also rose in his heart.

But he didn't say anything in the end, but Ji Yan, who went out later, saw his son-in-law standing in front of Miss An's room this time, and he was a little puzzled?

At dinner, Miss An didn't come out to eat, he looked at the son on the side, and the son glanced at him coldly, and he suddenly felt a little hairy in his heart.

Miss Ann locked herself in the room, and the son swept him coldly?

He touched his head.

Did he do something wrong? Or did he say something wrong?

In the evening, when he carefully carried the wooden basin to serve Gongzi to wash, he pretended to have no intention of opening up the topic and said, "Childe, how long are we going to stay here, and when will we leave for other places?"

Fan Gongzi picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, and glanced in the direction of the next room, "Wait a little longer~"

Ji Yan also glanced in that direction with his gaze, remembering that when he had dinner today, Childe's eyes suddenly spoke, "Did Childe know Miss An before?"

He originally saw Miss An and his son-in-law getting along for the past few days, thinking that they might not know each other before?

"Hmm~"

Ji Yan touched his head and didn't ask again, but Fan Gongzi opened his mouth, "Why are you asking this?"

Ji Yan shook his head, "I'm just curious~"

He looked innocent.

Fan Gongzi's face was cold, he glanced at him again, his face became even colder, and he suddenly stared at him and said, "What do you think of Miss An?"

"Ah?... Miss An, Miss Ann is very good~"

So do you like her?

Fan Gongzi had a cold face, looking at this man who grew up with him and looked equally handsome, the expression on his face became colder and colder.

Ji Yan's mother is his mother's maid in marriage, his parents died early, and since then, he has been by his side, and on the surface, he is the attendant of the attendant, but the people in the Fan Mansion know Ji Yan's status.

The one who has accompanied him the most over the years is Ji Yan. He knows Ji Yan well, and he also knows that he is a good man worthy of trust, and he is not young anymore.

He looked at Ji Yan and thought of his mother's bitter persuasion, you don't think about your own family affairs, you should also consider it for Ji Yan, who is close to you like a brother, you don't get married for a day, how dare Ji Yan, as an attendant who grew up with you, get married first?

Thinking of this, Fan Gongzi made a cold face and said, "Ji Yan, you are not young, do you have a favorite girl?"

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, how could he have any favorite girl? Over the years, he has been walking around behind Gongzi, and when Gongzi went out to study alone, he was busy studying in the house at the same time.

Fan Gongzi saw that he was stunned, and if he wanted to ask, he didn't ask again, waved his hand and let him go down.

lest you look at him too much and be upset.
