In the past, Antingxuan did not come home once every six months. The third lady sent him to a famous academy in other places to study. The second lady also wanted to send Antingfeng to study, but he couldn't study, and the second lady didn't want to waste this time. Money, I heard that the academic expenses alone cost dozens of taels a year. The second wife feels that it hurts. In the future, if you can't be a scholar, you can be a martial artist. It won't be a problem to enter the military camp and become a general or something. Who knows what Anting Peak is like now? The more you mess around, the less promising you are, and you can't even pass the exam to become a scholar.
The second wife was disheartened on the spot. She couldn't compare with her son, and she couldn't compare with her daughter.
"Kowtow to your mother quickly. Thank you for your hard work." The old lady immediately ordered An Tingxuan.
"Yes, Grandma."
Antingxuan used to come back with a graceful air, but this time he came back with a touch of masculinity. Although his complexion is not as fair as before, he looks very healthy. He is only seventeen this year, and he has grown a lot taller. .
An Tingxuan politely kowtowed to the third lady, who then smiled happily and quickly helped her son up.
After that, An Tingxuan kowtowed to the old lady three more times before he stood up in a formal manner and sat upright on the sandalwood chair.
"Why didn't your aunt come back with you? Is she feeling better?" the old lady asked.
"Going back to my grandmother, my uncle is already well, but she is still very weak. Her uncle and aunt left her at the general's residence, saying that she would not be sent back until she was well again." The uncle and aunt An Tingxuan mentioned were An Xiyue's uncles. aunt.
The old lady looked ashamed. A good girl from the Mei family had cost them, Lao An, half her life. The marriage between the two families was a matchmaker arranged by their parents. This made the old lady even more shameless and had no reason to meet her father-in-law. Ask people to send them back after they have been cured.
"Brother Xuan, you have returned to Beijing." An Xiyue came in from the door.
"Yue'er..." An Tingxuan turned around and saw An Xiyue dressed in white like a fairy, and his eyes were immediately fascinated.
Followed closely behind was An Xilin, who was also dressed in white. She smiled charmingly and said softly: "Lin'er has met brother Xuan."
An Xilin's intrusion brought An Tingxuan back to his thoughts.
An Tingxuan stood up politely and bowed to the two sisters.
At this time, the whole family was sitting together. An Xiyue originally thought that she would be scolded by the old lady, but she didn't expect that the old lady didn't even look at her, let alone mention the rumors outside.
An Xiyue glanced at the old lady and knew that she must be angry. Her grandmother had long said not to interact with Nangong Yuanyi.
Rumors outside spread everywhere, but An Xiyue would not think that the old lady was blind and unaware. She was the shrewdest old lady in the house.
Grandma must be blaming her at this point.
The second lady looked at An Xiyue from time to time, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak.
Before, she would have scolded him first, but An Xiyue is different now. In order to separate the family, An Xiyue even begged the old lady for mercy, so the second lady couldn't bear to say anything.
Just listen to Antingxuan say, "I have benefited a lot in the past few months. After I followed my aunt down the mountain, I left Qingshui Town and did not go back to Beijing directly. Instead, I was sent to the army of General Mei. When I arrived at the Mei family , Mrs. Mei took over all the big and small things to take care of my eldest uncle, so I naturally had nothing to do. General Mei also taught me the art of military use and the way of marching and fighting. I simply felt that studying with General Mei for a few days was better than me. For more than ten years.”
