Qingluo Jinghe

Chapter 62

"Auntie is in the house?"

After Ye Yumeng passed away, no one cared about Yao Xu's studies.To save trouble, Yao Feng wanted to send Yao Xu to study in a famous Confucian academy in Jiujiang County after the year.

Yao Xi originally taught Yao Xu himself after agreeing to the imperial examination, but now something happened suddenly, and Yao Xi, who was still in school, didn't know.

This time he came to look for Zheng Jiao, and Yao Xu wanted to use this opportunity to stay in Jingzhao City——Yao Xu knew how his father and aunt were, and was afraid that his aunt would hurt his brother.

"Young Master Xu, after the banquet, Madam went to the master's room, and she hasn't come back yet."

It could be seen that Yao Xu had something urgent to ask Zheng Jiao, so the maid said again, "Your Majesty Xu, you don't have to wait, Madam and Master are very affectionate... If you are in a hurry, you might as well listen to me, and when Madam comes back, I will convey it for you .”

This maid is Zheng Jiao's own person. Yao Xu studied under Ye Yumeng since he was a child, and he doesn't like the people around his aunt, so he doesn't pay attention to the maid.

"If it's not convenient for Mr. Xu to tell me, then go back to your room and rest. Madam can't come back from the master until noon on weekdays. If Mr. Xu has been waiting here, it will be too much."

"Thank you, then I'll look for my aunt tomorrow." Yao Xu didn't want to say more, bowed to the maid, turned around and left the yard.

The outside of Yao Mansion has long been filled with the smell of firecrackers and fireworks, just like the smoke rising from every household. The smoke of fireworks and firecrackers penetrates into the nose, which is an irreplaceable warmth.

The leftovers were cleaned up by the maids and guards, and they will probably be sold to the slop collector tomorrow, and then they will become food for pig farmers in the suburbs of Beijing.

Yao Xu returned to his room. There was no moon on New Year's Eve, and the stars could hardly compete with the lanterns in the mansion. He wanted to write a letter to his brother, but found that the ink in the inkstone had long since dried up.

Recalling that when Mrs. Ye was there, she taught her two brothers to study, every detail...

"Auntie, even if it's love, is it worth risking everything to stay by Father's side?"

There was a thin layer of dust on the table, and the light from fireworks in the distance was reflected on the lacquered wooden table.This case was still a dowry brought by Ye Yumeng, which was given to Yao Xu when he was in elementary school.

The sound of firecrackers exploding alarmed the "lover" in the tent, and the candle flickered again, Yao Fengzhi tightened his grip on Zheng Jiao's arm...

The wind blew across the lanterns, and the soft yellow light was supposed to be warm, but after the wind passed, the candles dimmed a bit, and the lanterns that couldn't illuminate the entire courtyard seemed useless.

The lack of this faint warm yellow and cool bricks and tiles in the yard made the whole yard a bit desolate.

"Zhicen, why don't you think my nephew can't be like you?"

On New Year's Eve, Meng Mingji still didn't stay in the Meng Mansion steadily, but Zheng Zhicen couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that old man Meng Qing would feel lonely by himself, so he stayed with him in the Meng Mansion.

"Young Master Meng will recover naturally. Now that you are still young, it is normal for you to play around without understanding." Zheng Zhicen comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, under your education, Young Master will recover one day. .”

"Hmph, I haven't seen you messing around when you were young, why is he going to indulge?"

After all, Zheng Zhicen's words reached Meng Qing's heart, his elder brother died early, and his sister-in-law followed him. Even if this nephew didn't let her go, Meng Qing couldn't bear it.

Therefore, before Zheng Zhicen replied, Meng Qingfu said again, "Then he went to the military camp without telling me, so he should let it go? If one day he lost his life, how should I explain to my brother and sister-in-law? ..."

"Young master's parents left early, so naturally it will take more time to grow up." Zheng Zhicen bowed and continued, "This military camp is a good place to grow up. Young master is capable, so nothing will happen."

"Hey……"

"At my age, I don't care about my nephew, even if he doesn't have much ability. My Meng family doesn't lack him to make his ancestors shine, so it's good to be good!"
