Yan Jingyi smiled and said: "That is really sister Miaoyun, she is the same age as my sister Duanyi, and I will be 15 years old after the new year."

Cen Han smiled and said, "That's Sister Jingyi, I will only turn 14 at the end of this year."

Lianshi didn't interrupt, just made some tea and snacks, and smiled to see the girls from strangers to familiar ones. Perhaps because Yan Jingyi was the eldest daughter in the family, she spoke and acted very steadily. She is very virtuous, both Xu Miaoyun and Cen Han like it very much,

Yan Duanyi was a little shy, sitting next to her sister all the time, asking a few words before answering, never taking the initiative to speak, Xu Miaoyun was similar, so Cen Han and Yan Duanyi talked the most.

What Cen Han is most curious about is Yunnan, which is too far away. Yan Jingyi explained with a smile: "Although Yunnan is remote and barren, the folk customs are simple and the scenery is beautiful. Every spring and summer, flowers bloom everywhere. My mother So I took my sister and I to enjoy the flowers, the flowers there are not planted in pots, they are all grown in the wild, a large area, it is simply a sea of ​​flowers, very beautiful."

Cen Han's eyes showed envy, what a spectacular scene that must be, Yan Jingyi continued: "There are many Miao people in Yunnan, and their dress is different from ours, my father even gave me and my sister a set of Miao people's clothes Well, it's interesting."

Cen Han smiled and said, "What are the differences? Don't they wear skirts and pants?"

Yan Jingyi didn't know how to describe it, and said: "It's a pity that the clothes are all stored in the cage, otherwise I will take them out and ask my sister to have a look."

A few people put aside this topic, and asked each other what books they had read, but Yan Jingyi was very modest, and only said that she hadn't read any books, but everyone could tell that the sisters of the Yan family had a good conversation, so they must have read a lot of books .

When he came back from Lian's house, Cen Han had established a good friendship with Yan Jingyi, and Yan Jingyi also promised to go to Cen's house to say something before leaving, and Cen Han also said that when he got home, he sent a post to invite sister Yan Duanyi to play at home.

After returning, Cen Han went to Mrs. Cen Momo, saying that he wanted to entertain the Yan family sisters, so Xu Miaoyun went to the study to find Xu Jinghuan.

Xu Jinghuan drank some wine and was resting in the study with his eyes closed. When he saw Xu Miaoyun coming, he asked her what was the matter. Xu Miaoyun was just worried about the Zhang family's affairs.

Before her arrival, Zhang Bao'er failed to come to see her off. After staying at Cen's house for so many days, she got tired of playing and became homesick.

Xu Jinghuan said: "I haven't received the letter yet. I don't know how the Zhang family is doing now. If you don't care about the crime of buying fame, the worst thing for the Zhang family is to spend money to eliminate disasters. Most likely there is no fear of life."

Xu Miaoyun rested her chin and sighed: "I don't know what the eldest sister and the second sister are busy with. Today, when I met the eldest daughter of the Yan family, everyone praised her for her knowledge. I think if the eldest sister is here, she will be able to compare with her."

Xu Jinghuan smiled and said, "Are you still talking about learning?"

Xu Miaoyun said: "It's just asking which gentleman you have invited to teach you to read, and what books you have read."

Xu Jinghuan didn't care about these small things between the girls, but said: "I also know that you have been here for a while, and the novelty has passed, and you are also bored. From now on, you will come to my study every day to read a hundred big characters." , I will teach you to read again."

Xu Miaoyun waved her hands in a hurry: "I don't want to write, and I don't want to study. I have made an appointment with my cousin to receive Miss Yan." As he was about to run away, Xu Jinghuan smiled behind him: "The Yan family can't live here forever, Sooner or later you have to come and study."

After all, the Yan family didn't stay for a few days. Master Yan wanted to go back to Beijing to report on his work, which could not be delayed, so he left after staying for a few days. Cen Han and Miss Yan also agreed to communicate with each other, and Xu Miaoyun was also taken to the study by Xu Jinghuan Practice calligraphy.

Unexpectedly, just two days after it stopped, a letter came from Hangzhou, saying that the prefect Shen’s house had been ransacked and was being escorted to Beijing. Only Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang's family were escorted to Beijing, saying that they were trading fame, and they were afraid that they would be sentenced to death.

The Zhang family is in a mess now, and Mrs. Zhang wanted to divorce Grandma Zhang after she got the letter. As a result, Mrs. Zhang’s natal brother led people to Zhang’s house to make trouble. The old lady Zhang was so angry that she vomited blood and is now lying in bed. To recuperate.

But Xu Jinghuan smelled something unusual. Prefect Shen was escorted to Beijing by Jin Yiwei, and Young Master Zhang was arrested because of his reputation for trading. This is reasonable, but Master Zhang was also arrested. A charge of bribing officials, like the Wang family and the Peng family, were also released, so why did the Zhang family not let go?

Does the Zhang family have any secrets that are unknown?Or is the Zhang family and the elder Baige also involved?No matter what, the Zhang family couldn't escape this time.

Xu Jinghuan took the letter and went to discuss with his uncle. Master Cen's thoughts were obviously deeper. The cause of this matter was Mr. Bai Ge, who was the right-hand man of Prince Duan.

Prince Duan is not the kind of person to watch himself suffer. If he wants to save Mr. Baige, he has to find a scapegoat. Did they choose Mr. Zhang as this scapegoat?

Xu Jinghuan immediately denied it, and he told about what Dong Zicheng said before coming to the door: "The brother-in-law of the prefect Shen begged the Dong family, saying that he hoped that our Xu family would lend a helping hand, but at that time the capital did not have any intention to say What about the rebellion of the Xu family? Besides, everyone knows about the enmity between the Xu family and Lord Duan, so how could they help Prince Duan’s minions? I really can’t figure out why the prefect Shen made this move. The Xu family and the Zhang family It is well known that the relationship is good, the Zhang family is unlucky, the Xu family will never sit idly by, and if Prince Duan has any concerns about the Xu family, he will not do it so blatantly."

Master Cen said: "I'm more worried about that Yang Minzhi. It's not clear who he is, but he went to visit Xu's house. This is obviously a gesture of favor. If he is the master of Duan Wangye, what is the purpose of the visit? ? If he was a member of Lord Kang, he would not use the Zhang family who has a good relationship with the Xu family to top the vat. Which of the two situations do you think is more likely?"

Xu Jinghuan shook his head and said: "The relationship is very delicate now, Prince Duan obviously suffered a disadvantage, Lord Kang, the Xu family is equivalent to a line, Mr. Baige and Shen Zhifu are both Prince Duan's people, and the Zhang family is because of business. If you have a good relationship with the prefect of Shen, and are neighbors with the Xu family, then the Zhang family and the prefect of Shen, who are in contact with each other, become the key, which also led to both of them being escorted to Beijing, but I don't know which prince is responsible for this matter idea, what are they planning?"

Master Cen said: "A single spark can start a prairie fire. Maybe this incident will turn the world upside down. The Xu family will soon recover. This kind of opportunity is rare, so we must seize it."

Xu Jinghuan nodded: "I'll write a letter to my grandmother about it."

It's November, and the weather is getting colder. Cen's family, Lian's family, and other frequent households in Dengzhou all held a cold-elimination party. I'll come today, and you'll go tomorrow. It's full of excitement. In the first ten months of November, in late November, they began to plan for the New Year, and no one was in the mood to go to another house as a guest.

The Cen family is also busy, buying new year's goods, buying winter clothes and New Year's clothes for the servants, the masters also have to cut new clothes, and everything that needs to be repaired must be repaired before the twelfth lunar month. The whole Cen family is busy. Cen Han and Xu Miaoyun had nothing to do, and no one gave the two girls any errands.

Apart from writing and reading, the two of them just wandered around. When the plum blossoms bloomed, the two of them found something to do. They went around looking for someone to pick plum blossoms, make plum blossoms, or use plum blossoms to make tea. They have been tossing around for half a month. , It's the Laba Festival in a blink of an eye. When I get up early in the morning, the whole family gathers around and eats Laba porridge together. This is considered to be the end of the year.

No matter how busy it is outside, Xu Jinghuan still devotes himself to studying. In fact, Xu Jinghuan is a very smart person. On the one hand, he has the talent inherited from his parents. Studying, only going to bed at the beginning of Haishi at night, has never stopped for more than ten years.

Therefore, his foundation is very good. From the age of twelve or thirteen, he invited his husband to learn to write policy theory and stereotyped essays. At that time, the county examination, government examination, and hospital examination for scholars were just small exams. Yuan, it is needless to say that in the spring of next year, even if it is not a top ten, the top ten of the second class will not be able to escape, and now the hard work has just become a habit. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will fall back. clear.

Sometimes Xu Jinghuan was also very puzzled. He and Xu Miaoyun were obviously of the same mother, so he could dance to the sound of chickens and study hard for more than ten years, but his younger sister Miaoyun couldn't bear a bit of hardship.

Well, my younger sister is a girl, so she should be spoiled and pampered, but at least she should know a little bit about poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, like Pei Ning and Jinghan, two cousins, he went back to tell me the questions in the college entrance examination. The two younger sisters, the articles written by both of them according to the topic can be ranked in the top ten, not to mention the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they are all handy, even the cousin, although he did not get the honor, he has also read a lot of books, He is best at calligraphy.

Why did everything change as soon as I arrived at Miaoyun's place? Needless to say, when playing chess, I felt dizzy when I couldn't take three steps. I broke several strings when I played the piano all morning. Not to mention books, if you let her read a book, she will definitely fall asleep within an hour.

Xu Jinghuan felt that it was a long way to go to teach his younger sister to be a well-educated lady. Every time he looked at Xu Miaoyun who racked his brains to complete a hundred characters every day, he couldn't help but sigh.
