Rongguo Gongfu, the small courtyard on the west side.

This is the yard of Li Wan, the widow of the second wife.

At this time, Li Wan's pretty face was slightly melancholy, and she, who had always been steady, was obviously uneasy.

"Lange'er is back."

Su Yun's voice came from outside the house. Li Wan was happy and wanted to stand up immediately. Suddenly he remembered something and sat down again, his face darkened.

Jia Lan walked in with a smile. When he saw Li Wan's expression, his expression tightened. He immediately stepped forward and saluted, "I have met my mother."

Li Wan nodded expressionlessly and said, "It's almost midnight, why are you coming back so late?"

Originally, when Jia Lan went out, he would usually come back around Uh-hour, but today he was an hour late. How could she not be worried? You know, Jia Lan was Li Wan's lifeblood.

Jia Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she replied honestly: "I went to Aunt Lin's place for dinner with Uncle Huan earlier, and I wasted some time. Please forgive me, mother."

Li Wan frowned. She didn't have a good impression of Jia Huan either. She just didn't want to study. She also contracted a lot of bad habits. She had squinting eyebrows and raised eyes all day long. She didn't like it, so she said dissatisfied: "

I'm not teaching you to stay away from Brother Huan. What's the point of learning from him?"

Jia Lan felt bitter when he heard this. He also knew that his mother would definitely scold him, but he did not want to deceive his mother, so even if it would cause Li Wan's dissatisfaction, he still told him bluntly.

Faced with Li Wan's reprimand, Jia Lan lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Wan sighed when he saw this, stretched out his hand to pull Jia Lan to his side, twisted his sleeves for Jia Lan, and said, "I know you don't have a playmate, and only your uncle Huan is willing to accompany you.

Stubborn, it’s not that Brother Huan is wrong, it’s just that his temper was distorted by Aunt Zhao and he didn’t learn from it. You must never imitate your Third Uncle Huan in the future, do you understand?”

When Jia Lan heard that Li Wan did not say that he could not date Jia Huan, he immediately smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, my son understands."

Li Wan nodded with satisfaction. Although he was worried that Jia Lan would learn from Jia Huan, there was nothing he could do about it. None of the sisters in the house were close to Jia Lan, so only Jia Huan would play with Jia Lan for a while.

In fact, this is no wonder to others. A child like Jia Lan, who is as young as a young master, cannot be lovable. He is so stubborn that we can’t get together...

Li Wan warned again: "Brother Lan, you should focus on your studies and don't be playful."

No matter how stubborn you are, reading is the real thing, and this is especially important.

Jia Lan nodded heavily, then remembered something, and said: "Mother, today my son went to Aunt Lin's place, and happened to meet Brother Yun. He told his son not to just study blindly, but also to keep fit.

.”

"Jia Yun?"... Li Wan frowned and said, "Brother Yun is just saying, you don't need to pay attention."

Jia Lan felt a little disappointed when he heard this. He had a different feeling in his heart about Jia Yun's "teaching". This feeling was different from his mother's and always gave people a sense of majesty.

Li Wan touched Jia Lan's head and said with a smile: "Brother Yun is a martial artist. He doesn't know anything about scholars."

Jia Lan heard this and said carefully: "Brother Yun was also a scholar before!"

Li Wan was stunned by what Jia Lan said. He looked at Jia Lan and didn't know what was wrong with his son. He seemed to have a good impression of Brother Yun.

After a pause, Li Wan said: "You want to follow the path of a scholar, and you want to pass the imperial examination. Brother Yun is a military commander, and you are different."

Seeing what Jia Lan wanted to say, Li Wan said: "Okay, hurry up and wash up, read for a while first, and then rest."

Seeing Li Wan say this, Jia Lan, as his son, didn't know what to say, so he responded and followed the maid Suyun down.

.............................

Wang Xifeng’s courtyard.

When Jia Lian returned to the house, Ping'er stepped forward and said, "I'm back."

Then Ping'er took the coat that Jia Lian had taken off and hung it on the wood.

"Where's grandma?" Jia Lian asked.

Ping'er replied truthfully: "Grandma went to Miss Lin's place and said she was going to pick up the wind for Miss Lin."

Jia Lian frowned when he heard this, but he couldn't listen to this. After all, he had suffered a lot from the Lin family.

"Your grandma is also true. She wants to join in any fun and doesn't care about what's going on in the house."

Knowing that his father was upset, Ping'er didn't say anything. He took the basin handed over by the little maid and held it in front of Jia Lian.

Jia Lian washed his hands and suddenly had a bad taste. Looking at the pretty Ping'er, he stretched out his hand to pinch Ping'er's chin and said with a smile: "Your grandma doesn't care about the affairs in the house, so I just accept you today."

Ping'er took a step back, leaving Jia Lian blank. He rolled his eyes at Jia Lian and said, "I don't dare. If grandma finds out, I won't be able to please you."

With that said, Ping'er turned around and walked out with the basin in hand.

Jia Lian wanted to chase after him, but Wang Xifeng happened to walk in.

Wang Xifeng looked at the two people suspiciously, and said angrily: "It seems it's an unlucky time for me to come back. How about I leave first and free up the room for you."

Ping'er knew that his grandma had this temper, so he said angrily: "Grandma, don't be so arrogant. Tell me if you have anything to say."

With that said, Ping'er walked out.

When Wang Xifeng saw this, she spat: "You little hooves are getting more and more unruly, but be careful with your skin."

Ping'er ignored Wang Xifeng. She had followed Wang Xifeng since she was a child, and the two of them were very familiar with each other. Although Wang Xifeng was scolding her, he was actually making it clear to Jia Lian!

When Jia Lian saw that Wang Xifeng was depressed, his mood immediately improved. He smiled and said to Wang Xifeng, "Did you go to Dongfu today?"

Wang Xifeng replied: "It's not that Lin Yatou invited the host, so I went to have a look."

After saying that, Wang Xifeng's eyes moved and she said, "Not to mention, Miss Lin is now confident. She didn't see those things she brought back from Suzhou, which are dozens of boxes."

When this matter was brought up, Jia Lian felt even more unhappy. He said dissatisfiedly: "We are all outsiders who care about other people's affairs. We can't care about it even if we want to. From now on, you should go to Dongfu less and make others dislike you."

Wang Xifeng knew that Jia Lian was not convinced. She had heard Jia Lian say something once or twice before that when she was in Suzhou, she was not like her elders.

It was a busy trip in vain.

"Yo yo! You still don't understand me. You think I'm just here for the food on the table. Now Lin Yatou is the future grandma in Dongfu. If I don't move around more, who else can I expect?"

Jia Lian snorted coldly when he heard this and said: "We are from Xifu, why are we walking around? You have been walking diligently, and you don't have to offend that little beast. I just don't give you a lesson or two."

Wang Xifeng frowned when he heard this and spat: "You are also deceived by lard, what a little beast, you dare to say this, don't provoke Brother Na Yun, he is a evil star, old lady

We are all afraid of him. The former one, even the second wife dared to reprimand him directly. If you provoke him, there will be no good for you."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng and said dissatisfied: "Am I afraid of him?"

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian with a half-smile, which immediately made Jia Lian embarrassed. She waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, let's not mention him anymore. It's getting late, let's take a rest early."

Looking at the smile on Jia Lian's face, Wang Xifeng didn't know what Jia Lian meant. She blushed and spat: "Bah, I'm not ashamed."

Looking at Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng said helplessly: "It's an unlucky day. I'm not feeling well."

When Jia Lian heard this, he immediately became angry and said dissatisfiedly: "The day has come again? Don't lie to me, your day is still early!"

Wang Xifeng sighed inwardly and said, "It's not that it's a bad day, but I drank two more drinks at Lin Yatou's place and now I have a severe headache."

After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Lian's face looked better. Then Jia Lian said carefully: "Then let Ping'er serve me today."

"Heh..." Wang Xifeng sneered, walked towards the house, and said, "You can go find Ping'er. If she agrees, I won't have anything to say."

Jia Lian suddenly looked ugly and asked him to ask Ping'er. Wasn't it clear that he was not allowed to touch Ping'er? Who in the room didn't know that Ping'er listened to Wang Xifeng's words and without her nodding, Ping'er would not let Jia Lian do it even if he died.

Touched.

Seeing Wang Xifeng walking into the house minding his own business, Jia Lian flicked his sleeves and walked out to vent his anger...

ps: I had something to do yesterday, so I didn’t update... It’s not a break, and it’s been a bit difficult to write because of the recent lag...
