Shuying horizontally and shallow water, subtle fragrance floating moon dusk.

The plum blossoms placed by the window were as bright as blood under the candlelight, and the quiet fragrance surrounded An Jinshu. The girl's body was drawn by the candlelight and a long shadow was reflected on the window sill.

Hong Li came into the house from outside and took a few breaths of hot air into his hands: "Miss, it's too cold today. I feel bad for the old lady. Otherwise, it would be really hard to brave the cold wind to go to the lobby to eat."

An Jinshu didn't raise her eyes, she just smiled softly: "Grandma has always felt sorry for us juniors. She was also afraid that we would catch cold after walking so far in the cold wind. Forget it today. The cold wind will stop tomorrow. It should be done. Rules are still indispensable.”

After receiving a small admonishment, Hongli shrank her neck and hummed softly. Then she stepped forward and reminded: "Miss, it's already midnight. It's freezing. Why don't you take a rest early?"

"Dong dong dong...dong dong."

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Lu Luo's voice sounded from outside the door: "Miss, the madam is here."

Mother is here!

An Jinshu happily put down her notebook, put on her embroidered shoes and ran over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Mother Yang supported Mrs. Qu and was standing in front of the door. When she saw the door opened, Mother Yang immediately smiled and said, "Madam, the third lady is really not asleep."

Mrs. Qu also smiled and stepped into the house. An Jinshu gave way with a smile.

When Mr. Qu entered the room, An Jinshu smiled and leaned forward to hold her arm: "Why are you coming here so late? Do you want to smoke?"

The temperature was very different across the door. Qu took off her cloak and handed it to Yang's mother. After Yang's mother put the cloak away, she put the food box she brought on the table.

Qu pointed at the food box and said with a mysterious smile: "It's not just for you, a greedy little cat. Guess what this is."

"This is it?" An Jinshu came up and smelled it, and his eyes immediately lit up: "It's pear blossom cake!"

Mrs. Qu touched her head with fondness in her eyes: "Didn't you say you wanted to eat pear blossom cakes during the day? You sent someone to Jiang Chun Tower to buy them. Please try them."

"Aniang is so kind." An Jinshu smiled sweetly at her and couldn't wait to open the food box.

The golden-yellow pear blossom cake is coated with egg liquid, fried to a crispy texture, but the inside is runny. When you bite into it, the aroma of milk mixed with the fragrance of pear blossom fills your teeth with fragrance.

"Well, it's delicious."

"It tastes good. Eat more. Drink some water and don't choke."

Mrs. Qu's eyes were full of love, she smoothed An Jinshu's hair and stayed with her quietly.

After eating a few pieces of pear blossom cake and drinking a few cups of hot tea, An Jinshu felt a little exhausted. Seeing this, Mrs. Qu asked people to remove the food boxes, and then dismissed everyone in the room.

Seeing that everyone in the house had been sent out, An Jinshu stared at his mother in confusion, not quite understanding what she was going to do.

It wasn't until everyone in the room exited that Mrs. Qu looked at the girl in front of her solemnly: "Yanyan, mother wants to ask you something."

An Jinshu, who didn't know why, opened his eyes wide and nodded: "Ask me, mother."

Qu took her hand and said, "Did you meet your second sister in Merlin this afternoon?"

An Jinshu's first reaction was that something happened to An Nian, but she saw that her mother didn't look blaming, and she didn't hear any rumors, so she immediately rejected this guess and only nodded to admit that it happened.

"I heard that you bumped into your second sister just to stand up for Chen'er?"

"It's unfounded. Who is talking nonsense?" An Jinshu didn't expect that she would be slandered after paying so much attention, and she suddenly became angry.

Mrs. Qu patted the back of her hand to tell her to calm down: "No one is talking nonsense, but you know that Aunt Li is the only child of your second sister. If your second sister has any trouble, she will be the first to rush forward."

"Today your second sister came back to the courtyard looking like that. Aunt Li got so angry that she beat Shuzhu in your second sister's courtyard half to death. The other party finally told me about Bai Rimeilin, so she came to see her. I want to explain."

An Jinshu was so angry that he couldn't sit still and defended with bulging cheeks: "My fourth brother and I were picking flowers in the plum forest during the day. My second sister came out of the plum forest and came up and said some strange words to me. I was originally I didn't want to pay attention to her, but when the fourth brother was picking flowers, he accidentally threw snow on the second sister, so Shuzhu blamed the fourth brother."

At this point, she quickly drank a sip of tea to suppress her anger.

"If it weren't for Na Shu Zhukou's unscrupulous words, I wouldn't have known that the second sister insulted the fourth brother and said he was mute. However, my daughter did not contradict the second sister. She just wanted to understand the ins and outs of the matter. Later, when the second sister heard the fourth brother speak, she felt He made a fool of himself and slapped Shuzhu in front of us, and then he was as stunned as a demon. When my daughter left, she was still worried and asked someone to send her back to the yard."

Qu naturally believed her, so he pulled her to sit down and said with a smile: "I only replied to Aunt Li after I understood the matter. It is not your fault, and she would not blame you for it. She told me After half a quarter of an hour, you saw that the mistake was not there and you left, but..."

Qu suddenly stopped talking.

An Jinshu asked: "It's just a mother-in-law."

"It's just that your second sister is not in good health after all. It would be better for you to see her less in the future. She will be old enough in a year, and then she won't have such worries when she gets married."

Seeing Mrs. Qu telling her to avoid An Nian and An Jinshu, she wanted to laugh. If it were an ordinary family, she would either teach her daughter not to take it to heart when encountering this kind of thing, or she would keep her reputation and visit her more often. But her mother was different and only called her She avoided the other party from now on, showing full favoritism.

An Jinshu suppressed a smile and nodded: "I understand, grandma."

"there's one more thing."

Qu's tone turned cold as the subject changed: "I heard your grandmother say that you and Chen'er are very close, but is it true?"

An Jinshu didn't expect her mother to ask this, so she thought about it and said, "It's not true."

"He is my brother, so naturally I want to be closer to him."

"I heard that your grandmother said that you gave him most of the treasures in your house? You also spent a lot of money to find a set of inkstones and brushes a while ago? You don't know how to..."

Mrs. Qu didn't say the last half of her sentence, but it goes without saying that An Jinshu knew what she wanted to say. For a girl of fifteen and a haircut, her age is the time when love begins.

Seeing Mrs. Qu's solemn expression, An Jinshu finally understood that her mother's visit tonight to deliver pear blossom cakes and Aunt Li was mainly for this reason.

As a mother, An Jinshu understands her worries, but her mother is really overly worried. Her kindness to Gu Qingchen is purposeful and does not involve any feelings between men and women.

"Mom, you are worrying too much. I just feel sorry for my brother who is lonely and helpless. What's more, if he comes into our home, if we don't take care of him, then others will say that we treat others badly."

"Really? It's not something else?" Qu confirmed with some suspicion.

"Seriously, after all, my daughter is only eleven, and there are still four years left before she can get haircut. It is her parents who should make the final decision on marriage. If her mother does not agree, her daughter will not marry him. Besides, how can a daughter do such an unethical thing? come out."

"If mother is worried, I just need to stay away from him in the future, and I won't let anyone talk nonsense."

After receiving her assurance, Mrs. Qu was finally relieved. No wonder she had such wild thoughts, Chen'er's child was really well born and had a great temperament.

Her daughter had been raised in a boudoir since she was a child and had never seen much of the world. She was afraid that the flower would be too beautiful and bewitch her eyes. After all, the love between siblings was not untrue. It would be fine if it were placed in an ordinary family. It would be fine if it was placed in a noble family. It will bring disaster to the whole clan and make the world ashamed.

The cold wind outside the house was like a ghost roaring, and the snowflakes blown by the cold wind hit the young man's brow. He was staring straight at the two shadows, one large and one small, reflected in the window. The people inside were talking exactly. fell into his ears.

He squeezed the oil paper package that smelled of pear blossoms in his hand, the corners of his eyes turned red, then he smiled contemptuously, turned and left the yard.

Hongli walked out from the next door and saw Youdao's figure flashing past the door. She called the boy guarding the door: "Who has been here?"

"The Fourth Young Master of Junlan Pavilion"

"What are you doing?"

The boy thought for a moment: "I said I was giving pear blossom cakes to the lady."

"Okay, let's go down."

Just as the boy was about to leave, Hongli stopped him again.

"Don't tell anyone that the fourth young master is here. It's so late, it will make people think too much. Do you understand?"

The boy didn't dare to object, so he nodded and bowed down.

Hong Li looked at the door of the courtyard and thought for a while, but finally felt that what he did was right, turned around and returned to the house.
