Chapter 152: Scroll B of Love and Sorrow

  Chapter 152 B Scroll of Love and Sorrow

  Seeing heavy snow falling down one after another, slowly covering the entire eaves.

The treetops outside the window couldn’t bear it anymore, trembling, and occasionally there was a dead branch crunching, which means that the snow was too heavy, and the branches broke and fell to the ground without a sound, leaving only Bai Yaya. .

The earth dragon had already been on fire, and Lin Daiyu was wrapped in a densely woven and thick velvet embroidered jacket, with a dense cotton cape on the outside, and a sand fox fur fur with azure and red borders and a bay red inner lining was put aside, but she didn't wear it. On the bed, just huddled on the kang feet, but her delicate face was a little more sad.

  The little girl Xueyan was carefully burning the kettle, then she took a smoker to cover the curtain and sent it in, "Miss, warm your hands."

"Well, Zijuan hasn't come back yet?" Lin Daiyu, who was leaning on the bed of the kang, lazily patted the white cat. The white cat got up slowly with some reluctance, then walked a few steps slowly, and finally shrank to the foot of the kang In fact, the appearance is really a bit similar to the owner.

   "Miss, sister Zijuan has only left for half an hour. Don't you say that she may take an hour to come back? I don't know if sister Ping'er is here. I heard that Second Grandma Lian has gone out."

   Xueyan is a bit dumb, and she is not young in terms of age, but she is always a little ignorant in doing things, so the old lady sent Zijuan here. Fortunately, Xueyan is honest, and it is good to follow Zijuan.

   "Who did you hear that Lian's second grandma went out?" Lin Daiyu didn't expect that Xueyan, who was usually cute and cute, would have such a skill, and she could even find out the news that Lian's second sister-in-law was going out.

"The slave girl ran into sister Si Qi when she came over from the veranda of Dongnuan Pavilion earlier. Sister Si Qi said that the old man was recruiting the second mistress Lian, but the second mistress Lian was not in the house. The second girl in the house ate a meal."

   Xueyan's answer made Lin Daiyu frowned, "Is Lian's second brother not in the mansion either?"

   "But I don't know." Xueyan shook her head, she was considered an outsider in this mansion, and she listened to what others said, but she didn't dare to ask more.

It's the end of the year, and the mansion is a bit messy, and Daiyu doesn't want to add to the chaos, and she doesn't want to see that second brother Bao very often, so she voluntarily moved out of the old lady's house and went to the outer room. In a small courtyard on the side.

  Although it is a bit narrow, it is quiet.

"Why does Second Sister take the lead from Uncle?" Daiyu knew that Second Sister was honest, she always smiled when she saw everyone, but she didn't talk too much, she was the most good-natured person, if it wasn't for that Si Qi's tough temper, I'm afraid that the women in the backyard can ride on her head.

  How could such a temper provoke uncle to lose his temper?

"I don't know. Sister Si Qi only said that the old man has been very angry these days. I heard that the harvest sent back from Zhuangzi is much worse than last year. What is it about Wang Xiaoer's Chinese New Year? Every year is not as good as every year. No one If you can afford to take care of them, everyone is eating and drinking, and this family must be ruined,..."

   This girl may look cute and cute, but she has a good memory. Si Qi dares to say everything with her big mouth, but this girl remembers it all for herself.

   "Xueyan, why don't you mess around there!" There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the scarlet felt curtain embroidered with the word "Fu" was lifted, but it was Zicuckoo who came back.

   "Sister is back." Xueyan was not afraid, got up and pulled the curtain, let Zijuan in, and said with a smile: "Miss is still talking about it, but sister is back, so it can't be said."

   "Zijuan, how are you?" Seeing Zijuan coming back, Daiyu sat up all of a sudden, no longer as lazy as before, and became more energetic.

"I went over there. Sister Ping'er said that she hadn't seen Uncle Feng's boy coming in this period of time, but met the tea smoke in Second Master Bao's room. He said that Second Master Bao was also asking Uncle Feng for a few days. I even asked him to go to Uncle Feng's house to ask about it." Zijuan pursed her lips.

"Oh? Second Brother Bao is also asking Brother Feng?" Lin Daiyu was surprised. This Second Brother Bao didn't want to see Brother Feng very much. If he hit the house, he might really be blamed.

"Well, the second master Bao has been sick all this time. I just heard that the second master went to report to his ancestors and wanted to invite a special school teacher to teach and study for the second master Bao. After studying for two years, he will send Bao Er Grandpa went to study outside, the ancestor didn't say anything, but the wife said that the second master Bao was too young, so he was scolded by the second master,..."

Lin Daiyu was taken aback. The relationship between uncle and aunt has always been respectful. Uncle is a modest gentleman. Except for the second brother Bao, no one else saw him get angry. Why did he get angry with aunt? something that has never happened before.

   "You said uncle got angry with aunt?" Lin Daiyu was still a little shocked, it seemed that uncle was really anxious this time.

   "Well, I heard that my wife wiped her tears in the room all day in those few days." Zijuan lowered her voice, obviously someone had spread the news quietly, if her wife or Lian's second grandmother heard about it, it would be a disaster.

  Lin Daiyu couldn't help sighing.

  The second uncle now only has such a son, if he doesn't study, the family fortune may be lost to the second brother Bao.

   Even if you really can't read books, at least you have to become a scholar, right? Or go to the Imperial College for two years?

   But looking at Brother Rong in the east, I am afraid that my uncle would not dare to let go. Not everyone has the self-discipline of Brother Feng.

  But Lin Daiyu is not in the mood to ask more about Bao's second brother, it's just that she feels so much, and it's not her turn to ask, but Tan girl is afraid that she will worry about her second brother again.

   "Then why did Second Brother Mingyan say that Bao asked him to go to Brother Feng's house to find Brother Feng?" Lin Daiyu was more concerned about Brother Feng's affairs.

   Seeing the concern on her young lady's face, and thinking of Uncle Feng's domineering words in Dahuguo Temple that day, Zijuan couldn't help sighing.

I don't know what the lady is thinking. If she really fell in love with Uncle Feng, then she should have told the lady's father about it earlier. It's thousands of miles away, and Uncle Feng is thirteen. What if Uncle Feng's family wants to talk about a marriage for Uncle Feng, but what should they do?

  My young lady is small-minded, and she is also a bit stubborn. Sometimes I say something about her, but she still refuses to admit it, and her mouth is quite rigid.

"I heard that I want to inquire about the situation at Qingtan Academy. Maybe Second Master Bao thinks that he might not be able to escape from this place, and he will have to go sooner or later, so check the situation first and make preparations early." Zi Juan guessed: "Didn't the mansion keep talking about Qingtan Academy some time ago? Since it is so famous, maybe Second Master Bao can really read books after he goes."

   "That's all Zhao'er said, and didn't say when Brother Feng will come back? It's the Chinese New Year soon. Doesn't Qingtan Academy have a holiday?" Lin Daiyu asked displeasedly.

   "I just asked, the person who delivered the clothes for Uncle Feng in Feng's residence came back and said that Uncle Feng will come back a few days earlier, if it is said, he should be back in two days."

   Zijuan dared not hide this matter. Although she didn't want Miss and Uncle Feng to get in touch too often, she still knew the seriousness. If she didn't tell Miss about this, she would be really angry once she found out.

   "Really?" Lin Daiyu almost jumped up, and the melancholy that had shrouded her brows disappeared instantly, "Then I'm going to find him."

   "Miss, what can we do?" Zijuan was taken aback, "Then the master knew and didn't peel us?"

  Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu's expression darkened again, "What should I do then? I don't care, I will see him."

   "Miss, didn't you agree with Uncle Feng that you are looking for opportunities during the spring break?" Zijuan is really going crazy, can this lonely man and widow meet casually?

   "But I can't wait, Zijuan, can you help me find a way, okay? I know you must have a way, right?"

  Twisting Zicuckoo's arm, Lin Daiyu's bright eyes almost revealed that anticipation.

She was really going to be suffocated to death in this mansion. Sometimes she thought, if she lived such a boring life all her life, it would be better to die. She accidentally said it that day, almost It didn't scare Zicuckoo to death, but it became a good excuse to make Zicuckoo "subdue".

  *******

   Just as the little girl was talking about her elder brother Feng, Feng Ziying had already set off from the academy to go home.

  Except for a few students from Shuntianfu and Beizhili in the whole academy who want to take this spring break to go home, the others basically have no plans to go home.

  Feng Ziying was given special leave by the official Yingzhen after the competition, but he did not go home.

  The momentum created by that trip was too great. Although Feng Ziying had deliberately concealed her sense of existence, there were some things that could not be hidden.

  So for the next month or so, Feng Ziying stayed in the academy obediently and followed Zhou Chaozong to study the scriptures hard.

  Some ink scrolls sent by Jia Yucun's trustees also arrived, including some reading experience written by himself, which is quite in line with Feng Ziying's needs.

   Counting the days, this guy should have been recommended by Wang Ziteng and Jia's family, and he will soon leave the capital and go south to take up his post.

   I just don’t know if it’s the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture. If it is, it means that Wang Ziteng’s ability is really not small, and he can actually reach out to the appointment of officials and local officials.

  Feng Ziying planned to take advantage of this time to pay a visit to Jia Yucun. Whether it’s cooking a cold stove or sending charcoal in the snow, it’s better than contacting him after he’s developed.

  Born as a Jinshi, this is an advantage. As long as you find the right way, it is really not difficult to recover, especially if you go to the local area. Feng Ziying was still deeply impressed by Wang Ziteng's potential power.
