I don't think I'll survive this year

The sun came out later in winter, and Yang Wentong went to court early, but it was still pitch black outside.He was suffocated, so he didn't greet those colleagues at the gate of the palace, and rushed directly to the Duke's mansion in a sullen manner.

It was very cold outside this early in the morning, and after standing outside for a while, the cold air surged up and made people shiver, so it didn't seem so strange that he didn't take a long step.

As soon as Yang Wentong entered the gate of the Duke's Mansion, he bumped into Xue Ning's sedan chair, looking like he was about to leave the mansion.

Not long after he recognized his righteous sister, Ji Huaizhi found a husband for this girl.The candidate was somewhat unexpected, but Yang Wentong thought about Ji Huaizhi's attitude towards this little girl, and felt that it was really reasonable—it was Chen Changsi who was ordered to go back to the mansion to recuperate.

After all, Chen Changsi was the chief assistant of the dynasty, so it was impossible for him to be like an ordinary teacher who went to the Duke's mansion to teach a little girl.Therefore, it was Xue Ning who was rushing to Chen's mansion, and it should be just in time for Chen Chang's heir to go back to the mansion early.

The sedan chairs of Yang Wentong and Xue Ning bumped into each other, and they only glanced at each other, then turned their eyes away indifferently.

He really doesn't know this cheap little girl well. In fact, if the little girl hadn't somehow caught the old lady's eye, he would have packed her up and sent her to Chen's mansion—running back and forth all day long. Don't feel like tossing around?

Yang Wentong had an indifferent attitude, but Xue Ning couldn't ignore him, so he got off the sedan chair and saluted him: "Brother is well."

Although Yang Wentong was not in a very good mood, he was not in the habit of showing his face to a little girl, so he reluctantly relaxed his expression and nodded, and said casually, "Going to Changsi's side again?"

After Xue Ning answered "Yes" softly, he asked again, "Changsi's knowledge and character are all top-notch, you should follow along and study hard, and in the future..." When he said this, he suddenly stopped for a moment ——

She was really taken into the ditch by Ji Huai, a little girl, can she really be an official in the future?

Thinking about it, he finished the second half of the sentence perfunctorily, "...it will always be useful in the future."

"A-Ning must obey elder brother's instruction." Xue Ning bowed his head and said respectfully.

It's really not comfortable to stand in the yard on a cold day, Yang Wentong nodded casually, and said to Xue Ning, "Okay, you can go quickly." After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked inside.

Xue Ning saw that he was about to walk into Yimen, so he couldn't help but shouted, "Brother!"

Yang Wentong turned around in surprise and asked with his eyes.

Xue Ning hesitated for a moment before continuing: "...Father... is in the study, brother is the best..." She frowned slightly, apparently not knowing how to proceed more appropriately.

But there is no need for her to say it too clearly, as soon as she heard her mention "father", Yang Wentong knew something was wrong.

He originally planned to stay in the palace directly after the morning court.But today, hearing that Qin Tianjian had chosen the date of Ji Huaizhi's big wedding, for some reason, he didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment, and rushed back after the court, and forgot about it.

Going in and bumping into his father now, he will probably be beaten up again...

Xue Ning only heard a vague "thank you", and then saw Yang Wentong rushing towards the gate like a gust of wind, she had no time to respond.Xue Ning silently glanced at the gate, stood there for a while, and then boarded the sedan chair again.

It's just that before she could get on the sedan chair, she saw Yang Wentong fold back again.

"Brother?" Seeing Yang Wentong just staring at her but not speaking, Xue Ning couldn't help asking.

Yang Wentong raised his head and took a look inside the mansion: If you don't hurry up, his father will definitely come out and arrest people...

Yang Wentong gritted his teeth, as if he had made a difficult decision, he smiled stiffly, and asked Xue Ning in a low voice, "...do you have any money?"

Xue Ning: "..."

Fortunately, Xue Ning saw that Yang Wentong came from the filter with "Benevolence", so he was not scared to cry by his ferocious expression.

Even so, she also collected herself, paused for a moment, and then replied in a soft voice: "There are some..."

Yang Wentong immediately stopped and said, "Lend me half and pay you back at night!"

Although Yang Wentong said it was "half", Xue Ning still took out all the money on his body and put it in Yang Wentong's hands.

"..." Yang Wentong stared at the few taels of silver falling into his hands for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xue Ning looked a little embarrassed, and she explained in a low voice: "I... I still have some in my room, I'll go get them right away."

Yang Wentong was silent for a long time, then shook his head in a murmur and said: "...No need." Then, he gave Xue Ning a hesitant look, "You..."

Although she is a righteous daughter, she is also a master after all.Besides, the old lady likes this little girl so much, she won't treat her badly, right?

Think about the more stringent body searches his father has imposed on him in the past six months.Yang Wentong couldn't help thinking:

... Is the mansion encountering some difficulty that he doesn't know about?

Xue Ning was at a loss under Yang Wentong's stare. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered something. He took off a jade bracelet from his wrist and carefully placed it on Yang Wentong's hand.

This precious and important attitude brought back Yang Wentong's wandering thoughts.

He looked up at the little girl's reluctant eyes, couldn't help laughing, and slipped the bracelet back into Xue Ning's hand, "Keep it if you like it."

As he said that, he threw the pieces of broken silver into his bosom again, with his free hand, imitating Ji Huaizhi, he touched the little girl's head, and asked again in a gentle voice, "Just learn from Changsi."

**********

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Wentong was walking on the cold and windy street, cursing his mother uncontrollably from the bottom of his heart.This early in the morning, there were no ghosts on the street, no matter what buildings, pavilions, or theaters, no one opened the door.

As soon as Yang Wentong opened his mouth, before he could curse in a low voice, he was guzzled by the cold wind.He closed his mouth with a pale face, and began to seriously think about whether he should go back and get beaten.

"Brother Yang?!"

While he was contemplating, he suddenly heard a voice from the side.He followed the sound - early in the morning, which fool didn't stay at home obediently, but had to go outside to blow the cold wind?

Thinking of this, he didn't have the slightest consciousness to scold himself.

Seeing Yang Wentong look up, the person on the opposite side finally confirmed his identity, came forward and said with a smile on his face, "Brother Yang, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

"Liu Er?" Yang Wentong looked at the facial features of the visitor from a distance, and felt a little familiar. When the person came close, he couldn't help but make a sound in surprise.

When Yang Wentong wandered around the capital, he had a bunch of friends who ate, drank and had fun, and the second child of the Liu family was one of them.However, he spent few days in Beijing in the past few years, and when he came back occasionally, he would come and go between the palace and the Duke's mansion in a hurry, and he gradually became estranged from these people.

"It's me, it's me." Liu Erdie replied, and then said with a smile, "Brother Yang's current status is not comparable to what it used to be. I wonder if the general will give me the favor to sit at my younger brother's house." ?”

When drowsiness comes, someone will give you a pillow. If you are stupid, you should not do it.

……

Originally, he was going to Liu's mansion for a visit, but for some reason, he ended up rambling all over the place, and even greeted the original group of friends, and impromptuly put together a banquet in Liu's mansion.

Although it has only been three or four years in the past, the changes in each of them are not insignificant, but after all, they are old friends for many years. After a few bowls of wine, the atmosphere in the banquet will become lively again. A bit of an illusion that it has never been far away.

"Liu Er, I heard that you... hiccup... got, got a baby a few days ago?" During the dinner, someone asked while hiccupping.

Liu Er also blushed from drinking, and replied inarticulately, "What... what?"

However, this answer was obviously unsatisfactory. Some people took the lead in booing, and the banquet suddenly became noisy. Yang Wentong was also slightly drunk at this time, and he could barely make out the word "Lan Jun" from the noise.

Probably the top card in a flower building?Yang Wentong patted his confused head and guessed.

Over there, Liu Er couldn't stand the uproar of the crowd, moreover he was drunk and wanted to show off, so he immediately ordered someone to bring Lan Jun over.

Not long after, a young man in fresh clothes was ushered in. His eyes were picturesque and his skin was firm. He lowered his head and bowed to the crowd. His long eyelashes covered his affectionate eyes, which added a layer of A desire to explore.

After a silence during the banquet, there were exclamations and praises one after another, followed by congratulatory and teasing words to Liu Er.

Yang Wentong frowned at this moment, with an inexplicable feeling of incongruity emerging in his heart: It looks pretty...but something seems wrong...

He pressed his drowsy head and looked up and down this beauty——

What's wrong?

When Lan Jun was greeted by Liu Er and pulled into his arms, Yang Wentong was reminded by the people beside him, and stopped the scrutinizing gaze.

... Illusion.

Thinking about it, he changed his mind and stopped worrying about the vague sense of awkwardness.

……

Yang Wentong came to Liu's residence early in the morning, but it was already dusk when he left.

He was indeed a little drunk, and his walk was a little unsteady when he came out, but it was rare for him to relax completely in these years.He vaguely thought, it would be great if Huai Zhi was here... At the same time, the scene of Liu Er holding Lan Jun into his arms couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

……

As soon as the cold wind blew at the door, Yang Wentong was quick-witted, and all the drunkenness on his head disappeared instantly.

!!!

man!

That Lan Junte is a man!

"...Brother Yang?" Yang Wentong stood upright at the door, naturally blocking the way of others, when a drunk behind him bumped into him, staggered back a few steps, and then raised his head and questioned.

Yang Wentong didn't answer, he took a step back with a wooden face, and watched the rest of the people come out in a file. Although these people were all slightly drunk, there was nothing unusual about their expressions.

Thousands of words flooded Yang Wentong's mind, but in the end he only came up with a question--Are you abnormal, or am I abnormal? !
