It's late at night.
He Shun tiptoed to Ah Zhen's room and wanted to put out the light.
"The lights don't need to go out tonight."
A Zhen turned over on the bed.
"Master, are you still awake?"
He Shun looked towards the bed, and A Zhen's eyes were slightly closed under the light. Ah Zhen was waiting beside him since he was young, knowing that he had something on his mind.
I feel a little worried, it's already midnight, why am I still awake.
There will be morning classes tomorrow morning.
A Zhen said nothing and turned over slightly.
"He Banban, you go out, I'll stay by myself." A Zhen said with his eyes closed.
He Shun agreed, picked up the egret wick scissors next to him, dimmed the lamp, and walked out of the room with a frown.
Later, footsteps sounded at the door.
"Azhen hasn't slept yet?" Meng Zhixu said in a loud voice.
"Not yet." The gentle reply was gentle.
"I'll go in and see him." Meng Zhixu strode to the suite, opened the curtain and entered Azhen's room.
"Nephew, what's on your mind?" Meng Zhixu asked.
A Zhen didn't speak.
Meng Zhixu sighed and said, "Are you worried about your mother in Beijing? If you are worried about her, you might as well take care of yourself."
After a long time, A Zhen suddenly stood up and said to Meng Zhixu: "Uncle, is Feng Zhiheng here?"
Meng Zhixu was shocked and said, "Where is it? Her father won't arrive until tomorrow. She arrived first? Where is the person?"
A Zhen said: "She is at the Bai family opposite."
Meng Zhixu made a puzzled expression.
A Zhen told his uncle everything about his previous abduction.
"That means you two have met before?" Meng Zhixu rubbed his hands.
Meng Zhixu had met the daughter of the Zhongjing Hou family once when she was a child. Feng Zhiheng's uncle was a civil servant at the border, and Meng Zhixu was a military commander. The two checked and balanced each other and guarded each other's border security. It was a very delicate relationship.
When Feng Zhiheng was young, she went to live with her uncle on the border. Meng Zhixu even held her in his arms, rode a horse and shot arrows.
She is a very cheerful little girl.
"I didn't expect that she is also destined to be a girl from the Bai family." Meng Zhixu said, "Does she know your identity?"
A Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know. Uncle, I don't want to marry her in the future."
"It's possible that you won't get married if you don't want to get married. The decree was given by the Queen Mother." Meng Zhixu said.
Meng Zhixu looked at A Zhen's tense face, laughed and said, "Don't you like the Feng family girl?"
A Zhen was speechless.
"The girl from the Feng family is quite good. She has the Zhou family and the Zhongjing Hou Mansion behind her, so she can only benefit you and not harm you. Although the girl is not as good-looking as Xiao Yuanbao, she is not bad among all the rich people in the capital."
Meng Zhixu was a warrior and spoke more directly and casually.
A Zhen was silent for a while and said, "I just don't want to get married to her in the future."
Meng Zhixu asked with a smile: "Then who do you want to be your wife? Xiao Yuanbao? I see you have a lot of fun playing with her every day. Do you want to marry Xiao Yuanbao as your wife in the future? What you want to do, your mother and queen We, the Meng family, will fully support you, but there is more than just the Meng family in the DPRK."
A Zhen buried his head in the pillow and said with a hot face: "Whoever wants to get married, I don't want to."
In the morning, Xiao Fuyuan was still awakened by the sound of Erlang reading aloud on the porch.
After waking up, I listened carefully, and there was also the sound of the fourth brother Dalang Saburo reading and the fifth brother doing kung fu. No wonder the sounds kept coming and going.
On weekdays, Dalang Saburo doesn't get up early to study. I don't know why he went crazy today and started studying angrily.
What she didn't know was that it wasn't Dalang Saburo who had a seizure.
After she fell asleep last night, the fourth brother and the fifth brother were so excited by the county magistrate's wife that they expressed their position in front of Mrs. Bai that they must work hard to get ahead and support her. The fourth brother got up to study when the sky was dimming, and picked up his two nephews by the way.
Xiao Fuyuan twisted around and then remembered that there was someone lying next to him.
Feng Zhiheng hadn't woken up yet, and was sleeping soundly with his hair spread on the pillow. She slept rather dishonestly, with one arm outside pressed against the quilt.
Xiao Fuyuan pulled the quilt, and Feng Zhiheng woke up leisurely.
"Good morning, sister A Heng."
"Good morning, sister." A Heng frowned, "Who is studying outside so loudly?"
It disturbed her clear dreams.
She arrived at Zhou's house and was picked up early the next morning to learn the rules, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and women's red embroidery. She also had to practice calligraphy and read before going to bed at night. Except for New Year's Eve, she had not had a good night's sleep for a whole year.
In the Bai family, Feng Zhiheng finally abandoned what these noble ladies needed to learn, and fell asleep with a relaxed mood. He really slept soundly and sweetly.
A night without dreams until dawn.
"Before, Erlang got up early to study, but now my fourth brother and the others get up to study together." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"Your brother and your nephew work too hard. I heard from my grandfather that your fourth brother had a hard time at Huaishui Academy. He studied hard every day with his head hanging from his head, and he didn't go out to play during holidays. In order to wake up. Open the window and read at night on a snowy day."
"Sometimes I am lazy in learning the rules, and my aunt will use your fourth brother's example to teach me a lesson." Feng Zhiheng shook his head and sighed.
This was the first time that Xiao Fuyuan heard from others about his fourth brother's study life at Huaishui Academy.
I feel sad and admired at the same time.
The fourth brother's ranking at the top of the list is entirely due to his own efforts.
The sound of the fourth son and the second son of the Bai family reading continued to be heard in the yard. Meng Zhixu passed by Lao Bai's house and couldn't help but take a look and sighed in his heart.
A farmer's family has a lot of work to do in the morning, and there are also people who brush swords, which is quite a sign of prosperity.
Why can't he see the little girl from the Bai family? He still wants to tease that girl.
At this time, Xiao Fuyuan was lying on the quilt chatting with Feng Zhiheng.
After chatting about some interesting things in life, Xiao Fuyuan said that after breakfast he would take Feng Zhiheng to play in the mountains. Feng Zhiheng suddenly sighed and frowned.
"What's wrong with the sudden sigh?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
"Sister." Feng Zhiheng hesitated to speak.
Xiao Fuyuan looked at her quietly with her big, bright eyes.
Feng Zhiheng gritted his teeth and whispered in her ear: "Did your family tell you we were going to marry each other?"
Say goodbye?
Xiao Fuyuan's body trembled. She still felt that she was a baby. What the hell was talking about kissing?
She only heard that Liu Shu's mother wanted to make her a concubine, but her mother and sister-in-law gave her a scolding.
"No." Xiao Fuyuan said truthfully, she didn't want to talk about kissing.
"Oh, it's better for you to stay at home. I'm already engaged." Feng Zhiheng frowned and whispered.
Xiao Fuyuan knew that Feng Zhiheng was the daughter of one of the top families, and it was not uncommon for such families to get engaged.
But looking at Feng Zhiheng’s appearance, does he not like it or something?
"Who are you engaged to be engaged to?" Xiao Fuyuan asked.
Forget it, this question is meaningless, and she doesn’t even know it.
Feng Zhiheng told her: "It's the prince in the palace. Alas, I haven't even seen him, but he was ordered by the Queen Mother."
"Oh, that's how it is."
Xiao Fuyuan thought to herself, this is the trouble on the top floor. The palace, the prince, and the queen mother are too far away from their Shenshu Village.
It is also the helplessness of the daughter of a top family, who is born to sacrifice for the family.
"I don't want to enter the palace at all. It's too unfree. You know, today's queen has entered the cold palace. As long as the women in the palace don't achieve the position of the queen mother, it will be difficult." Feng Zhiheng complained about the family members in the palace, "Even when they are The Queen Mother is not happy either. She is still free outside the palace. I really want to be a farm girl like you."
Xiao Fuyuan said with a smile: "Sister Ah Heng, if you don't like to enter the palace, you have to fight for it. It depends on people. You have to make plans for yourself."
But Xiao Fuyuan did not say that not all farm girls are the family favorites like Xiao Fuyuan.
More farm girls basically live like a cabbage.
It's just that Feng Zhiheng has never seen more farm girls.
