Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 47

Yan Xiu rested at home for five days, and rushed to the Duke's Mansion sick on the sixth day. Yan Zhaohua also went with him.

But after arriving at the Duke's Mansion, Yan Xiu went to Qingcang Courtyard by himself, Xie Guozhang and Liu Shi, as well as Xie Shi and Aunt Gong. He led him to the courtyard of Shizi's wife, Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu was making cakes in the small kitchen. Hearing that Yan Zhaohua was coming, she deliberately brought out a plate of white sugar cakes cut into the size of balls. He took Yan Zhaohua's hand and said, "We invite guests who can't usually come. , They are all here today. Come and try my aunt's handicraft, I'm not boasting, this white sugar cake is my strong point, although it's a bit simpler, the taste is very good."

Before Yan Zhaohua had time to ask Gu Shi, who else came besides her, Gu Shi enthusiastically stuffed a piece of pastry in his hand. Gu Shi looked at her with comforting eyes, and she only knew it in two days , What happened to the Yan family recently, Yan Zhaohua took the pastry and thanked Gu with a smile:

"Thank you auntie."

The voice is small, the eyes are watery, and the appearance is so pitiful. Gu Shi is a person who is easy to soften his heart. He always feels that Yan Zhaohua is very pitiful without his mother by his side since he was a child. Now he knows that Xie Lan has What she did was really angry from the bottom of my heart. At first, I thought that Yan Xiu would marry another daughter of the Xie family, at least he would not treat Yan Zhaohua badly. It's a vicious idea. Fortunately, this child is smart and has seen through her tricks. If Xie Lan had calculated this without realizing it, in the end, the two children would have been gnawed to the bone by that wicked woman.

Mrs. Gu didn't like Xie Lan at all. Although the two of them had nothing against each other on the surface, Mrs. Gu never looked down on Aunt Gong's group of concubines, and she didn't even like Xie Lan, a concubine. Back then, she felt that Xie Lan is petty and embarrassing. Sure enough, in just a few years, she has done such shameful things. She coveted her eldest sister's dowry and intended to poison her stepdaughter. These two crimes are enough to make it difficult for her to gain a foothold in Beijing.

Involuntarily reached out and touched Yan Zhaohua's face, and wiped off the pastry crumbs on the corner of her mouth. Yan Zhaohua pursed his lips, seeming a little embarrassed. Seeing her like this, Gu felt even more painful. In his heart, he hugged Yan Zhaohua and said:
"My poor child, why is it so hard?"

Yan Zhaohua was stunned, and the white sugar cake in his hand fell to the ground. It felt strange to be held in Gu's arms, but it was somewhat warm. After being let go for a while, Gu's eyes turned red Seeing that Yan Zhaohua was looking at him, Mrs. Gu seemed a little embarrassed, lowered her head, tucked the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and then took another piece of white sugar cake to Yan Zhaohua's hand, holding her hand and standing up , said:
"Okay, okay, everything is over, I am not as good as a child. From now on, you will come to Auntie's place more often, and you can tell Auntie what you want to eat and use. Sister Rou and Sister Yuan are here At home, you can come anytime."

Yan Zhaohua followed Gu Shi's footsteps, listening to Gu Shi's words in his ears, he just felt warm in his heart.

Mrs. Gu took her out of a garden full of flowers, in front of the hanging flower gate, and said to Yan Zhaohua: "This is Xiangluo Garden. Sister Rou and Sister Yuan like to play in it the most. Brother Fan and the others are here today." , don't be shy, there are many younger brothers and sisters in the garden, they are all children, and they are intimate, there are not so many rules."

Yan Zhaohua poked his head in from outside the Chuihua Gate to look in, and he really heard the sound of playfulness inside. He looked at Mrs. Gu, and saw that Mrs. Gu had no intention of leading her in, and pointed gently at the Chuihua Gate, meaning that Yan Zhaohua Hua went in by himself.

"It's full of children. You won't feel comfortable when I go. I've prepared all the food and drink. You can go in and play. Just ask Sister Rou if you have anything to do."

Mrs. Gu said so, and Yan Zhaohua would look a little hypocritical if he didn't go in. Holding his skirt, he stepped on the steps of Xiangluo Garden, holding his bare hands by the door, and looked back at Mrs. Gu, a crabapple fell on the ground. Above her head was a beautiful and picturesque scene. Gu Shi couldn't help thinking in her heart that such a beautiful flower would end up in some blessed family in the future, so she waved to her and told her to hurry in .

Although Yan Zhaohua was still worried about Yan Xiu and Xie's matter, she also understood that the parents of Xie Yan and Xie's family were all trying their best to discuss this matter, and she couldn't make the decision as a child, just as Xie Guozhang said Yes, if the marriage of Xie Yan's family falls through easily, the impact will be far-reaching. Her ultimate goal in this life is to get back her own things and embrace the glory of Xie's family. Don't worry about it too much, as long as you don't get in the way of her anymore, and Xie's body is weighed down by those two mountains of crimes, even if he doesn't die, Yan Xiu will never accept her to go back to Yan's family Yan Xiu seemed really angry this time. If he had the heart to forgive Mrs. Xie, a few days ago, when Yan Zhaoning and Yan Shuyan knelt outside to beg him, he should have gone down the stairs, but he Not only did he not move at all, but he ignored Yan Zhaoning's siblings' begging for mercy, which shows his determination to punish the Xie family.

The exotic flowers and plants in the garden made Yan Zhaohua linger on, watching the past along the way, and followed the sound.

Xie's siblings were playing in the pavilion. Behind the pavilion there was a small lake and a flower garden, just like a fairyland. Xie Xinrou was the first to see Yan Zhaohua, and when her eyes lit up, she ran down from the pavilion, grabbed Yan Zhaohua's hand and asked:
"When did you come, don't let anyone know, so I can pick you up."

After getting along with each other last time, Xie Xin and Yan Zhaohua became confidantes, and Yan Zhaohua replied: "My aunt brought me here, but she sent me outside the door and left."

He dragged Yan Zhaohua up to the pavilion. In the pavilion there were Xie Fan, Xie Xinyuan, two siblings, and two or three children whom Yan Zhaohua could not name. There were two boys who looked very alike. As a concubine and concubine, Xie Xinrou took the initiative to introduce her:
"The one in blue is Xie Hui, the one in blue is Xie Wu, they are twins, the younger one is Xie Xinyue, Xie Hui and Xie Heng are the children of Yuniang, Xinyue is the child of Jin girl, they are both younger brothers and sisters, hurry up I've met my eldest cousin, this is the authentic elder sister of our family, even I call her elder sister."

Xie Xinrou is the eldest daughter in the Xie family, but she is indeed two months younger than Yan Zhaohua.

The children stood up obediently and saluted Yan Zhaohua. Xie Fan was the most lively, without any shyness, took Yan Zhaohua's hand and sat aside, saying, "It's just right that you are here, big cousin. She's cheating, obviously she lost, and she should put a note on her face, but she just changed the topic, as if we are all stupid and don't remember. Hmph, we are smart."

Xie Fan stabbed Xie Xinrou on purpose by talking to Yan Zhaohua. Yan Zhaohua glanced at the crossword puzzle on the table. It seemed that these children were playing crossword puzzles just now. The punishment was sticky notes. Xie Hui and Xin There were several stickers on Yue's body. After hearing Xie Fan's words, the two stood up and chased after Xie Xinrou, laughing and laughing all over the pavilion.

Yan Zhaohua sat there, watching them chase and play, feeling extremely relaxed physically and mentally.Suddenly feeling his sleeves being pulled, Yan Zhaohua turned his head and saw Xie Xinyuan looking at him hesitantly, he couldn't help turning around and asking:

"Sister Yuan, what's the matter?"

Xie Xinyuan pursed her lips, and asked Yan Zhaohua softly:

"Well, big cousin, let me ask you about my third cousin. I haven't seen her come to me these days. I asked my mother, and my mother said that something happened to my aunt. I want to ask, what's wrong with my aunt, third cousin Is everything okay there?"

Yan Zhaohua forgot, Xie Xinrou and Yan Zhaoning grew up together, and they have a very good relationship. Yan Zhaoning usually comes to play with Xie Xinyuan after two days, but this time he hasn't come for seven or eight days. No wonder Xie Xinyuan missed her.

Looking at this delicate and innocent little girl, Yan Zhaohua thought of how badly she was hurt by Yan Zhaoning in her last life, and felt sympathetic in his heart, but he couldn't tell her clearly, 'Yan Zhaoning will ruin your appearance in the future. , snatch your husband-in-law', I had to sigh and said:

"Something happened to my wife. Now the Duke, my wife, and my father are all handling this matter in the mansion. I don't know the result, so I can't answer you. As for Ning, wait until my wife's matter." After it's settled, she...should come to play with you, don't worry. "

Xie Xinyuan stared at Yan Zhaohua's big eyes, but Yan Zhaohua's big eyes were more charming, while Xie Xinyuan was more innocent, and after blinking his eyes twice, he sighed faintly. He took a breath and said:

"Well, I always thought that my cousin was a very fierce person, and I didn't dare to talk to you. I didn't expect her to be so gentle. I was wrong. I apologize to her here."

Yan Zhaohua didn't expect Xie Xinyuan to apologize to him suddenly, so he was stunned, only to hear Xie Xinyuan continue to say: "I don't know what's wrong with my third cousin recently, I always feel that she seems to be a different person, I don't know if she went to Back when I offended her, she's still mad at me."

Yan Zhaohua sighed in his heart. When Yan Zhaoning hurt Xie Xinyuan back then, she must not have known that she had such a beautiful image in Xie Xinyuan's heart, just like she didn't expect Xie's family to be so vicious... She couldn't help empathizing, and said to Xie Xinyuan:
"When she misses you, she will definitely come to see you. If she doesn't come, don't worry about it. After I go back today, I will tell you a message, so that she can come to see you when she is free, but it is good?"

Xie Xinyuan thought for a while, and felt that there was no other better way. She nodded and said, "Well, I'm sorry to trouble my cousin. If she doesn't want to go out, I will go to the house to play with her in two days."

For this innocent little girl, Yan Zhaohua really loves her, and she doesn't want her to get too close to Yan Zhaoning's temper, but the foundation of their relationship for so many years is definitely not something that she can erase with just a few words This kind of thing can only be realized by Xie Xinyuan herself. At most, when the two of them want to discuss marriage, she just needs to remind Xie Xinyuan a little bit.
