Chapter 116
The new house in An’s family was asked by Mr. Xue to come forward to buy it. The two-entry yard has a small garden, but it is not large in size but is more exquisite and elegant. The former owner was an old Hanlin who retired and returned home with excellent taste. After walking around, An Yi felt very satisfied. Old Mrs. An didn’t appreciate it, but only started from reality, thinking it was a little smaller and not grand enough. But when An Yi said that there were too few people in her family and the house was too big, it was not conducive to gathering energy, so she immediately changed her mind and praised Mr. Xue for his ability to do things, and generously praised the manager and mother-in-law whom the Xue family stayed to serve.
Not long after, Uncle Xue, Aunt Xue and others came to hear the news, met with their niece whom they hadn't seen for many years and talked about family matters, helping them settle down. Over the years, the two families also had contacts in their letters and were quite familiar with each other's situation. Although the Xue family complained about An's family that the niece actually showed up for medical treatment and support the family, it was already done. And An Yi seemed to like persistence very much, so she could only persuade her a few words and it was hard to say more.
After the Xue family left, An Yi sent Old Lady An to sleep first, and she took a comfortable bath to relieve fatigue before lying down. She thought she would be so excited that she couldn't sleep, but she would sleep unconsciously just by the pillow. In her dream, she didn't even see her past and those people, and she slept in a different way.
In the middle of the night, heavy snow fell. By the fourth update, the entire capital was already white. An Yi got up in dress, tied her black hair tightly with a jade hairpin, put on a hooded cloak in the black brocade fire fox fur, and quietly opened the door.
Mrs. Lan had already been cleaning up in the corridor. When she saw An Yi coming out and hurriedly greet her, she whispered: "The horses are ready, and breakfast is also prepared in the kitchen. The girl has used breakfast first before leaving?"
An Yi shook her head: "I'm not hungry, I'll eat when I come back."
The master and servant walked steadily through the snow-dyeed courtyard, got on the horse outside the side door, and walked towards the street.
It was early this time, and the street was dark and occasionally someone was seeing lights on. After about a quarter of an hour, the master and servant walked silently, there were more and more cars and people on the street. However, the scene was different from the Changli border town. Whether it was a car or a horse, it was silent. No one was fighting for the first place or no one was making noise. Only the flashing fire of the lanterns with the lanterns seemed a little lively.
Mrs. Lan had never seen so many people walking silently in the dark night, and she was a little curious. An Yi rode her horse slowly along the street and said softly: "Today, all civil and military officials above the ninth rank must go to court. These are all officials who go to court. Look at the ones who ride horses and sedan chairs are those who are serving high-quality, while those who walk alone or ride donkeys are small poor officials."
When Lady Lan heard that they were all officials, she couldn't help but feel a little scared first. She was even more curious about why An Yi chose to go out at such a time and where the destination was. But An Yi was naturally cold and hard-working, and she was not willing to ask what she said to her at all, so she didn't dare to ask too much, but just followed An Yi carefully along the hidden darkness on the street.
When she was about to reach the middle of Zhengyang Street, An Yi suddenly tied the reins and stopped quietly in a corner of the street. She straightened her back and looked forward silently. Mrs. Lan looked forward according to her gaze. She saw a car slowly driving out of an alley in the middle of Zhengyang Street. Next to the car, there was another horse, a chestnut horse, a blue official robe, a jade-white face, two righteous sword eyebrows, black eyes, and a straight nose. She was a handsome man in her thirties.
Seeing this face that was becoming more and more righteous, An Yi grabbed the reins in her hand tightly, let out a sigh of relief, and then smiled and said silently: "Hello Tian Jun. Do you still remember me? I miss you so much." She wanted to tear off his righteous face, look at the hideousness and dirt inside, then throw it on the ground and stomp it hard.
Tian Jun seemed to have some senses, turned his head and looked in this direction. He saw only two horses hidden in the shadows and two figures with no clear face decoration. Seeing him looking over, the person behind lowered his head a little uncomfortable, but the person in front was still looking at him directly, without any concealment.
Although it was a bit far apart, Tian Jun was still sure that he felt the malice released by the other party. This was nothing. He was not talented, but he wasted for many years because of the marriage. He had finally made a comeback in recent years and gradually became more and more powerful. Every time he went to court, he would always meet a few people who were jealous of him. Just be jealous, no one dared to rush up and bite him. Seeing that this was just two little shrimps that could not make up the wind and waves, Tian Jun turned his head proudly and continued to move forward lightly.
An Yi silently counted the people who were all in Hotan Jun. Sitting in the car was Tian Zhiguang, the father of Tian Jun, the original sixth-rank Dali Temple Master, who was promoted to the fifth-rank Zuo Temple Master after marrying the Zhang family. He was a hypocritical hypocrite who only wanted to make profits. The two servants who served him were the one who was the most trusted Changsui Yang Shang, and the other was that she couldn't recognize him, but it was not difficult to guess that he should be the person brought by Zhang Xin.
"How are you here?"
The sound coming from behind was as cold as gold and jade, and the questioning and oppression contained in it was as if it were actually putting pressure on people. Why was he everywhere? An Yi took back her mind and turned her head to look at the person who asked her. She saw Xie Mantang sitting high on the Ziliu horse, frowned slightly and looked down at her, looking down at her, which was less than two feet away from her. Their breathing was so close that they were almost entangled.
The snowflakes fell like gooseberry, and a ball of snowflakes fell on An Yi's butterfly-like eyelashes, turning into a drop of crystal-like water droplets.
"Why don't you answer?" Xie Mantang's eyebrows became more and more frowning. It took her strength to suppress the urge to stretch out her fingers to wipe the water droplets for her, and her tone became even more impatient.
An Yi burst out a bright smile and greeted Xie Mantang. She smiled gently and said, "The people in the countryside have lived in the border for a long time and have no knowledge. They are inevitably more curious about the majestic atmosphere of the capital. They come early to see the excitement. Isn't that okay?"
She smiled brightly, and her expression even brought a bit of charm in her tone. Xie Mantang felt that she saw sadness in it - her black cloak and plain hair tied with only a plain jade hairpin, as well as her figure surrounded by black walls and white snow, all showed her sadness.
This sadness made Xie Mantang's heart suddenly sting, making him uncomfortable. He prefers the vitality and ambitious An Yi, rather than the rare gentle and charming An Yi, who exudes sadness.
