An Yue didn't see Fan Gongzi, so he had to walk slowly all the way, preparing to go back to the inn.

She walked on the road, a little hungry, and randomly found a shop that sold roasted cakes and bought a few baked cakes, smelled the fragrance of roasted cakes, and went back to the inn while eating.

went up to the second floor and entered the wing room where she lived, and she thought to herself, how could she see him?

In the end, I finished eating all the pancakes.

The tiredness of her body came up, and she had been sitting in the carriage for the past ten days, and had not rested at all.

When I came to stay at this inn, although I had taken a bath and felt better, I was still a little tired and sore.

Just now she went to look for Fan's Mansion again, and the feeling of tiredness and soreness in her body became more obvious, she touched her waist, thought about it, and rested for a while.

She went and locked the door and the window, then took off her coat and put it on the screen, then sat down on the bed, took off her embroidered shoes, went to the bed, lay down on the bed and stared at the curtain for a while, and then closed her eyes again, ready to rest.

But after this rest, I slept until the early morning of the next day.

An Yue rubbed her eyes, when she woke up, the room was gray, she got out of bed and put on embroidered shoes and a coat, and found a fire fold on the dresser, lit the oil lamp in the room, and then tidied up the hair grate in front of the dresser, pushed open the window, the window was also gray, An Yue couldn't tell whether this was evening or morning?

An Yue thought about it, and first sat on a bench by a boxy table not far from the windowsill and thought, how did he know to see him?

Do you want to see him?

The sky was gray until dawn, and the sun shone in through the open windows.

She made up her mind that this trip could not be in vain.

But he didn't see anyone, so should she find a way to go into the house to find him?

An Yue thought about it again, and there were.

She stood up, went to the door of the side room, opened the door, and Xiao Er, who was walking in the corridor, saw her, and hurriedly said, "Guest officer, do you want to order water for washing?"

An Yue glanced at him, nodded, and then Xiao Er immediately ran downstairs, knock knock, and after a while, he came with a basin of water, and then An Yue let go, and Xiao Er brought the basin of water into the chamber.

An Yue turned around and looked at the little second brother and said softly, "Little second brother, what time is it?"

"Guest officer, it's the hour, it's still early. ”

An Yue nodded, the hour flies so fast, this is the night has passed?

The little second brother put the wooden basin away, went out, and helped close the door.

An Yue looked at the closed door, went to wash up, washed up, went to the cabinet again, took out his package, rummaged through, found a set of dresses to change into, and went to the dresser to carefully put on his own makeup, and took out his poor hairpins to take a look, and finally took out a plain silver hairpin on the grate, she stood up and looked in front of the bronze mirror, she wore a white light gauze shirt, a gray skirt with smoke and rain light gauze, and a white tulle on the outer shoulders, which looked too plain, and she didn't care.

The light in the room was brighter, and she walked to the window to take a look, and the outside room was already very lively, and there were many pedestrians and vendors on the road below.

An Yue closed the window, went to pick up the money bag that he had taken out before changing his dress, took out a money bag from his baggage, poured it all out, put it into a money bag, took the money bag, and then went out of the wing room and went downstairs.

She had some breakfast at the inn, hurried out of the inn, walked around the road, walked for a while, saw a shop that looked good at buying and selling pastries, went in and chose some delicate pastries, asked the shop to pack four things, packed them separately, and then carried them to Fan's house.

The little guy in front of Fan's Mansion saw her again, and An Yue said her intention as if flattering, telling them that she was from a Qingfeng Academy in Luqiao Town, in the Jiangnan area, and that it was Mr. Zhou in the academy who asked her to visit Fan's Mansion.

The two little girls looked at each other, a little disbelieving, and one of them said, "What the girl said is true?

An Yue glanced at the little guy and said, "Yesterday, I wanted to say that Mr. Zhou asked me to come to the Fan Mansion to visit your son-in-law in person, but didn't you say yesterday that your son-in-law didn't see a guest? I left after being depressed for a while."

The two servants glanced at each other again, and one of them said, "If what the girl said is true, I will go and help the girl report it first, and ask the girl to wait for a while." ”

If what the girl said is not true, don't blame me for turning their faces and not recognizing anyone.

An Yue glanced at the little guy and nodded, one of the little guys had already entered the house.

An Yue waited outside the door for a while, and a mother-in-law came to greet her, the mother-in-law had a round face, wearing a verdant Luo skirt, a plain silver hairpin on her head, a golden hairpin, a plain silver carved neck ring on her chest, and two plain bracelets on her hands.

An Yue nodded, saluted the mother-in-law, and reported his surname, the origin.

The woman smiled again: "Since the girl's surname is An, how about I call the girl, Miss An? What tokens can Miss An bring?"

What token did she bring?

She thought about it, and thought of what she sent to Fan's house, and then smiled: "Mama can call me as much as she wants, but I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring any tokens, but I know that Mr. Zhou has sent some Jiangnan specialties to your mansion in the past two years, and those specialties are wrapped by me one by one, and I went to the dart bureau to send them, and there are plum blossom carvings on the first layer of the box containing the specialties, and there are plum blossom patterns on the coarse cloth brocade ribbon wheat ears in the second layer, and also embroidered an Anzi~"

When the round-faced mother-in-law heard this, the things sent from Luqiao Town were all packed up by her mother-in-law in the outer courtyard, and she didn't enter the inner room at all. That job is her errand, she will take a look, she vaguely remembers that there are plum blossom carvings on the box, as for the ears of wheat~

She didn't look carefully, she looked the girl in front of her up and down again, she didn't look like a liar, and looked at her Luo skirt, which really looked like the style of the Jiangnan generation.

"Miss An, please come with the old slave~" The woman smiled and led An Yue to Fan's mansion, the woman looked at An Yue carefully, and then said: "The old slave's surname is Zhang, Miss An can call me Aunt Zhang, I heard Miss An say that she is teaching in Mr. Zhou's academy, presumably Miss An's talent should be good~"

An Yue lowered his eyes, shook his head and said, "I only know a thing or two, not as good as Mr. Zhou, and even less than Fan Gongzi." ”

Aunt Zhang looked at An Yue, looked at her carefully, and saw that she walked unhurriedly, nor did she look around, but she was slightly more stable than ordinary girls in the countryside.

She is the housekeeper of the outer courtyard of the lady's house, and she can be regarded as the third-class lady in the lady's room, and she also got the order of the lady to entertain the girl An from Luqiao Town.

The maid in the lady's room said that in the past, the young master lived in the academy of Mr. Zhou in Luqiao Town for about a year, and he had some kindness to Fan's Mansion, and he sent things to our house during the Lantern Festival in the past two years.

Aunt Zhang brought people into the flower hall, a maid stepped forward to serve tea and put pastries, An Yue carried the things in his hand to Aunt Zhang, and hung his head, saying that this is some pastries that Mr. Zhou asked him to buy, be careful.

Aunt Zhang looked at the pastry packaging, knew it in her heart, and chuckled and asked the maid to take the things and retreat.

Aunt Zhang smiled, talking about asking her for a token in front of the house, it was also funny, in the past, several women pretended to be distant relatives and wanted to see the son, and the son was still so young at that time~

Aunt Zhang came back to her senses, glanced at An Yue, and said, "Can Miss An's family live far away from the academy?

"I also have a younger brother at home, and my parents are quite strong. ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, "It's not easy to get from Luqiao Town to Dengzhou, Miss An has worked the road." ”

An Yue shook his head, "It's not hard, this is what I should do with Mr. Zhou, there is only one thing that may trouble Aunt Zhang, Mr. Zhou only asked me to personally bring a message to Fan Gongzi, and I also want to ask Aunt Zhang to invite Fan Gongzi~"

An Yue's face was not red and her heart was not beating when she lied, she only thought that since she had entered this Fan Mansion, she just wanted to meet her sooner, so as not to show her feet after staying for a long time.

Aunt Zhang saw An Yue say this, looked at An Yue carefully, nodded, and went to call a maid to come in first, and asked Mrs.

She chatted with An Yue for a while, and the maid who asked Mrs. had returned, and whispered in Aunt Zhang's ear to tell Aunt Zhang that Mrs. said that the young master had not seen guests in the house in recent days, and if Miss An had something to say, she could wait a few days and then convey it to the young master.

When Aunt Zhang heard this, she nodded, and said it very tactfully, An Yue raised her head and glanced at Aunt Zhang with some disappointment: "Then I'll come back another day, I will stay here in Dengzhou for two days." ”

Aunt Zhang nodded, An Yue got up and retreated, and Aunt Zhang called a maid to send An Yue out.

An Yue had just come out of the flower hall, and the little girl who ran away looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Mama Zhang, where is Luqiao Town?"

Mama Zhang glanced at the maid, "Luqiao Town is very far away, you remember, today's incident is not allowed to be told to others, and it cannot be passed on to the ears of the son." ”

"Yes~" The little maid was a little puzzled, and thought about the girl she had just seen.

Aunt Zhang waved her sleeves and went to the inner courtyard where her wife lived, but before she arrived in the inner courtyard, she met the big girl Qiaoxin in the lady's courtyard, and Qiaoxin was coming out of the inner courtyard, just to find Aunt Zhang. Seeing Aunt Zhang, she smiled, and the two met again, and Qiaoxin spoke first: "Aunt Zhang, the girl sent away?"

Aunt Zhang nodded, "Send it away." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled softly, like a mirror in their hearts.

I really don't know where the wild girl came from and wants to see the young master?

If it weren't for the lady's explanation that she would greet her well, she wouldn't want to see Aunt Zhang.

"In this world, there are always some people who don't know the height of the sky~" Qiaoxin smiled.

Aunt Zhang nodded, "No, there are always some uninteresting people who want to climb high branches, and I don't see what kind of identity I am~"

There was sarcasm on her face, not at all like the smiling one she had just looked.

Listen to the girl, what about his acquaintance with Childe?

What if a girl from a small place, even if she knows her son?

What if you are offended?

Can you still become their housewife?

Have one's head in the clouds.

Anyway, the news that she wanted to see Childe would not reach Childe's ears, Qiaoxin and Aunt Zhang looked at each other and smiled.

"Now, where do the wild girls come from, they want to see our son~"

"Then it depends on her, whether she can see her!"

Aunt Zhang smiled again, with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Qiaoxin looked at Aunt Zhang's sarcasm, and she also laughed sarcastically.

This ingenuity, her mother was Mrs. Fan's big girl earlier, and she was also the housekeeper of Mrs. Fan's inner courtyard, and she and her sister Qiaoyue served in Fan's mansion since childhood.

Previously, Mrs. Fan wanted to give Qiaoyue to Fan Gongzi to make a room, but Fan Wenshu didn't ask for it, but now Mrs. Fan has the idea of sending Qiaoxin into Fan Gongzi's room, originally thinking that she would wait for Fan Gongzi to marry a wife and then send it over, but how do you know that Fan Gongzi's marriage is yellow again, and Qiaoxin's matter is naturally gone.

In addition, in the past few days, several masters in the house have been very unhappy because of the Zheng family's divorce, where is there anyone who remembers her, but the maid and mother-in-law in the lady's courtyard have already gotten the news, and thinking about her father's status in the house, she has long regarded her as half a master.

As soon as the news came today, she got the news, and she had already sent a rough maid to find out how the girl looked.

An Yue went out of Fan's mansion, feeling very helpless, he couldn't see anyone, what should he do?

She walked down the street, sighed again, and glanced back at the high-gate vermilion wall compound, lowered her head, and was a little depressed.

She kicked a pebble at her feet, and a man popped into her mind.

Ji Yan, by the way, if you find Ji Yan, you will be able to meet Fan Gongzi.

It's not so easy to see Fan Gongzi, so it can be seen that Ji Yan will be easier?

She looked back at the two little guys again, thought about it, and went around the Fan Mansion again, and finally found the back door, she knocked on the back door, and the mother-in-law who opened the door did not know her.

This time, An Yue was a little smarter, she took out a few taels of silver from her purse, and said to the guard's mother-in-law: "Auntie, this is to invite you to eat and drink, I am here to find a waiter surnamed Ji in this Fan Mansion, his name is Ji Yan, he is my distant cousin, and I also ask my aunt to report the trouble~"

The aunt glanced at An Yue, pinched the silver tael stuffed in her hand again, showed a smile on her face, and said, "Girl, wait a while~"

Then the woman closed the back door, and An Yue had to stand obediently in front of the backyard door and wait.

She stood in front of the backyard door and looked at the closed gate, with mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know if she could see Ji Yan. If you can't see it, then you can't see Fan Gongzi, you can't really run this trip in vain, right?

In the courtyard of the child, a little maid found Ji Yan and told him that there was a girl looking for him at the back door, who was his distant cousin, Ji Yan stood in the courtyard and was stunned, distant cousin?

When did he have a distant cousin?

He asked the little maid again, the little maid was sure that she was looking for his distant cousin, Ji Yan glanced at the direction of the child's study with curiosity, and followed the little maid to the backyard.

The mother-in-law in the backyard saw him and said enthusiastically: "Ji Gongzi, you have a distant cousin who is like a flower and jade to look for you, go out and meet others, don't let people wait for a long time~"

The little maid who led Ji Yan with her covered her mouth with her sleeve and laughed secretly.

Ji Yan was teased by the mother-in-law and blushed a little, and the mother-in-law smiled and turned around to open the backyard door.

Ji Yan walked out of the courtyard gate with red ears, and a girl in a gray and white dress broke into her sight, she stood outside the courtyard and looked at him, the girl's face was a little anxious, and she was bright and moving.

Ji Yan was startled, and before he could speak, the girl saw him, and the eagerness on her face slowly faded away, revealing a smile.

Xu met someone he knew in a foreign land, and he was a little happy in his heart, An Yue smiled lightly: "Cousin, please come with me~"

The beautiful girl glanced at Ji Yan, and Ji Yan thought about it, whether it was with the girl that she left.

The two of them walked one after the other, and walked under the Zhu Wall that was a little far away from the backyard door, and then stopped, An Yue turned around, looked at Ji Yan, touched the back of his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Ji Gongzi, I'm really embarrassed today, I pretended to be your cousin, my name is An Yue, I came from Luqiao Town, and I met your young master Fan Gongzi, I came to look for him this time." ”

Ji Yan looked at the girl in front of him with some doubts, Luqiao Town?

Childe did stay in Luqiao Town two years ago.

"But how do you know my name, and pretend to be my cousin?"

When An Yue heard this, there was some embarrassment on her bright and moving cheeks, she did know Ji Yan better before she was realive, but this is after reliving her life, the two have not met.

"I... I visited Fan's house before, and the house said that Fan Gongzi had not seen guests recently, and I... I thought that he once told me that there was an attendant named Ji Yan, and he grew up with him since he was a child, and he had a very good relationship... I just thought if I could take a look from the backyard, invited you out, and then you conveyed to me that I was looking for him~ But I can't think of any way... I had to pretend to be your cousin..."

Ji Yan looked at her, looked up and down, and didn't look like a person who deliberately lied and pretended, he coughed and said, "What are you looking for my son-in-law?"

What is it? What is it?

An Yue bit her lower lip, she can't say it directly, because your son-in-law is about to get married, so you want to see your son-in-law for the last time?

From now on, one is not wide, and each is fine?

She had no choice but to bite her lower lip and said, "I have something important to say to him personally, and I also trouble Ji Gongzi, help convey it on my behalf, just say that I am waiting for him at the Fengmange Inn~"

As she spoke, she took off the only plain silver hairpin on the grate and handed it to Ji Yan, "This hairpin, your son-in-law should know." ”

Ji Yan glanced at the hairpin, thought about Luqiao Town, and said softly: "My son-in-law is really not convenient to go out recently, but if Miss An's words, I can help bring it." ”

His son-in-law recently somehow spread to Zheng County because of the matter with Miss Miao's family, Miss Cheng Cui of Zheng County heard that she is a person with a quiet personality, but she is a strong woman, and she wants to divorce her son-in-law from his family, and she still has someone in her heart after swearing not to marry!

The two families finally had to withdraw from the family, and his son-in-law was also scolded by the master, and he also ordered that he was not allowed to go out in the near future, obviously not allowed to go out, but in fact, his son-in-law was not allowed to meet the Miss Miao family.

Seeing Ji Yan say this, An Yue felt a little grateful and a little helpless, so he had to speak: "I will stay at the Fengmange Inn for two more days, and ask Ji Gongzi to convey it on my behalf, An Yue is grateful." ”

Ji Yan nodded, An Yue stuffed the silver hairpin to him, then pulled out a smile and turned to leave.

Ji Yan looked at the back, looked down at the silver hairpin stuffed in his hand, and thought that in the early years, a woman pretended to be a distant relative of Fan Fu to find her son~

But in the final analysis, those women just admired Gongzi, he sighed, whether it was An Yue who left in front of him, or the woman who had the audacity to pretend to be a distant relative of Fanfu to find Gongzi many years ago, it may just be to see Gongzi~

At the end of the day, there's not much malice.

He watched the figure walk farther and farther, thought for a moment, and turned back to Fan's mansion.
