Four people sat opposite each other in the hall, and Liu Mei made tea.
When Wan Sheng saw the book on the table, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Xu Jiang felt guilty for causing him to fall, so she personally offered him a cup of tea to apologize, but this had a different meaning in Wansheng's mind.
He took the tea and took a sip, then studied Xizhi's complexion. Seeing that she looked a little better than she had this morning, he felt a little relieved. Then he said to Xu Jiang, "You've been in Chongzhou for so long, taking care of Madam and haven't been out for a walk. When the weather clears up in the next two days, I'll have A Miao take you to Saoxia Villa for a short stay. It's quiet there, with beautiful scenery, perfect for a rest and relaxation."
Xu Jiang praised: "Saoxia, what a good name."
Wan Qingmiao continued, "It was originally called Wanjiazhuang, but it was my mother who changed it because it's on the mountain and next to the river, and the morning glow and evening mist are all at our feet, so we chose this name."
"It seems not only the name is nice, but the place is also beautiful." Xu Jiang had originally planned to take her mother out for a walk, but Wan Sheng's suggestion was exactly what she wanted. She bowed to Wan Sheng and said with a smile, "It would be a pity to come to Chongzhou and not see such scenery. Since Master Wan has invited me, I won't refuse."
Wan Qingmiao coughed.
Wansheng also looked up at her.
She froze for a moment, then changed her tone and said, "Thank you, Uncle Wan."
Xizhi squeezed Xu Jiang's hand under the table, and Xu Jiang turned around and smiled at her.
Wan Qingmiao said happily, "I'll go make the arrangements later."
Wan Sheng looked at Xizhi and said softly, "It will be Mid-Autumn Festival when you come back. We can't have a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet at home this year, so let's just get together as a family and celebrate the reunion."
Congratulations on her reunion with her daughter, congratulations on her reunion with Zhe Yun, and congratulations on her reunion with herself and A Miao.
Xizhi looked at the books on the table, sighed slightly, and then nodded to Wansheng and said, "Okay."
Wansheng smiled gently.
"We're a good family," Wan Qingmiao sighed. "In previous years, relatives would gather together and celebrate for half a month. It looked lively on the surface, but we didn't feel happy."
He looked at Xizhi and Xu Jiang expectantly, "But this year is different. This year, we have my sister and mother, so we can truly have a reunion festival."
Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xu Jiang recalled that during the Mid-Autumn Festivals over the years, she was mostly alone, watching the lonely moon and the joyful lives of thousands of families. Occasionally, she would share a meal with strangers she met on the road, and then go their separate ways.
It was a rare festival, and just as Wan Qingmiao said, this year was different, she found her mother.
But I still feel regretful. I don’t know whether that person will come back that month. I don’t know how Huailiu Lane and Louzhai will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and what the scenery in the capital will be like.
She looked at the family in front of her, thought about her relatives and friends in the capital, and couldn't help but sigh: It can be seen that it is always difficult to have both in this world. If you get one, you can't take care of the other.
"Sister, what are you staring at?" Wan Qingmiao raised her teacup and said to everyone, "This is a happy event. Come, let's celebrate with tea instead of wine."
Xu Jiang regained consciousness, raised her cup, and looked towards Xizhi. Xizhi raised her hand to touch hers, a hint of water in her eyes, and then turned to Wansheng. Wansheng cupped his cup with one hand, carefully leaning against her. Wan Qingmiao came over in a lively manner, crowding everyone together.
The taste of autumn dew is light to begin with. After a few more cups, you can only smell the fragrance but not the flavor.
Seeing Xizhi's tired expression, Wan Sheng stopped drinking tea and said to Wan Qingmiao, "A Miao, take your mother back to her room to rest. I and..." He paused for a long time, unable to finish his words, and said dryly, "I'll talk to your sister for a while."
Wan Qingmiao's eyes moved between the two of them and he said, "Okay."
Xizhi was sleepy and her reactions were a little slow. Xu Jiang helped her up and whispered in her ear, "Mother, go back first. I'll come to accompany you after I've cleaned up this place."
Xizhi nodded, "Okay."
Xu Jiang then said to Liu Mei, "Sister Mei, please accompany mother back to her room."
Liu Mei glanced at Wan Sheng, nodded, and stood up. Together with Wan Qingmiao, she helped Xizhi out of the Huafeng Hall and took the maids away with her.
Only Xu Jiang and Wan Sheng were left in the hall.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Xu Jiang was the first to ask, "I wonder what Master Wan has to teach you?"
Wan Sheng withdrew his gaze from the "Tracing the Origins of Cultural Traces" and said calmly, "I want to thank you individually for taking care of my wife these days."
Xu Jiang stared at the remaining tea in the cup and said, "As a child, it is my duty to take care of my mother. There is no need for you to thank me."
"I don't mean anything else." Wan Sheng's face showed fatigue. "I am sincerely grateful to you. I am grateful that you showed up and prevented me from making the same mistake again and again."
Xu Jiang softened her tone, "It's not too late to turn back. Fortunately, there's still room for recovery. You don't need to torment yourself any further."
Wan Sheng looked at her and thought of his silly son, and his heart ached. He could not compare with Xu Yuan's talent, and his silly son could not learn his daughter's wisdom and insight.
This may be the creation of heaven and earth.
"I've always envied your father, even been jealous, but sometimes I have to admire him."
Wan Sheng picked up the book "Tracing the Origins of Cultural Context" and started reading it, but closed it after reading the prologue. Even though the person was gone, the articles and children he left behind made it difficult for him to suppress his jealousy and fear.
Although he was literate, he had mediocre talent. Not only that, his temperament was also like a stone in the river with its edges smoothed out, mediocre and ordinary.
But Xu Yuan is different. He is naturally dazzling, and people feel ashamed when they see him. So when they first saw him, they knew why Xizhi was in love with him, and they never thought of snatching Xizhi away from him.
But the talented people in the world will not only attract the jealousy of people, but also the jealousy of God. God gave him talent and pride, and shaped him into a brilliant person, but God was jealous of his brilliance and gave him a tragic fate.
