A thought of Anru [Siege]

Woke up with a heavy nasal sound.

Sun'er stuck out her tongue outside, so she knew that the eldest lady would be better served, and if she was asked to call the second lady at this time, she might be scolded again.

Fortunately, the second young lady is already married, and she is not uncommon to serve her carefully every day.

Because of Hui Niang's constant reminders, her heart is connected with Hui Niang.She has a regret that a girl as good as her eldest daughter should not be unable to marry all the time.

An Ru dawdled on the bed for a while, before she lifted the quilt and got up, the winter cold invaded her limbs and bones, making her whole body tremble.

Putting on thick clothes, she went downstairs.She greeted Hui Niang.

Hui Niang was busy ordering the servants to set the dinner plate. She didn't need to do it herself, but she just couldn't be idle, and she panicked when she found something for herself to do every now and then.

She stopped her busy figure and said to An Ru: "An Ru, go to Dad's study and call him over for dinner. You have already called him just now, and you promised him well, but you haven't seen him for a while. You Papa is old and forgetful, and he would starve himself to death if no one kept telling him what to do."

"Okay, Mom."

Before An Ru could go downstairs, she turned around and went upstairs again.

Sure enough, what Hui Niang expected was right, Kang Cheng had forgotten about calling him for dinner just now, and when An Ru went to call him, he patted his head and went down with her.

There were only three people at the dinner table, before An Ru came back, it was even more deserted.

Hui Niang kept adding food to An Ru, and seeing the food in the bowl was almost full, she couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom, you eat by yourself, don't worry about me, I'm not a guest, and you can't help me to eat. "

Kang Cheng also said: "Huiniang, don't worry, the child is not as delicate as you think. She has been outside alone for so many years and has never seen anyone serving her. She is living a good life."

Hui Niang retorted: "I only have such a daughter, don't worry about who she worries about."

Kang Cheng never liked to hear Hui Niang say these words, so his face was not very good-looking.Seeing that Kang Cheng was about to get angry, An Ru hurriedly interjected, "Brother and An Yi are coming back for the Chinese New Year?"

"A recent letter from Chongqing said that An Yi was pregnant and couldn't stand the long-distance travel, so she probably won't come back. It's not certain whether Anbang will come back."

Hui Niang also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly said something else to divert Kang Cheng's anger.

"An Ru, don't be annoyed by your mother. An Yi is four or five years younger than you, but now she is about to have a child. You have no one to grow up to. You should take care of your life. Love it. By the way, didn’t you write home a while ago saying that you already have someone you like? How are you getting along with him? If the relationship is settled, bring it back for me and your dad to have a look. "

An Ru held her chopsticks in mid-air, then retracted carefully, and buried her head in the meal, almost buried her head in the bowl, "I haven't written a word about this! It's no use worrying !"

Hui Niang had listened to the news with her ears upright, but after hearing An Ru's words, she was inevitably disappointed. She still hoped that An Ru would be able to marry herself next year.

Can't help complaining: "You're talking nonsense, can I not be in a hurry? You and Mom talk about the other party's conditions, and Mom can help you refer."

An Ru was thinking about how to reply when Sun'er trotted in from outside and interrupted what she was about to say.She didn't know whether it was because she ran in a hurry, or because she was blown by the cold wind, her face was flushed red.

"Miss, there is a Mr. Zhao outside who says he is your friend, should I bring him in?"

An Ru's heart skipped a beat, and Xin Mei's name couldn't help appearing in her mind, she then shook her head amusedly, how could Xin Mei appear in Shanghai when she was in Chongqing.

But she didn't know other friends surnamed Zhao.In this way, she couldn't help but asked suspiciously: "Did you ask his name?"

"The gentleman said his name is Zhao Xinmei."

An Ru stood up suddenly, and the chopsticks on the bowl fell to the ground with a thud because of her movement. She hurriedly squatted down to pick up the chopsticks and put them on the table, saying: "Dad, Mom, you eat first, I'll go out have a look."

Hui Niang paid close attention to her daughter all the time, and seeing An Ru flustered, with an extremely abnormal expression on her face, she hurriedly asked, "An Ru, who is this Mr. Zhao?"

"Just a normal friend."

After Anru walked out, Hui Niang was full of suspicion but did not let go. She glanced at Sun'er who hadn't retreated, and asked, "Sun'er, you have seen that gentleman, tell me what he looks like."

Sun'er didn't even need to recall, and hurriedly said: "That gentleman is about the same age as the young master, taller and more prestigious than the young master..."

After Sun'er finished speaking, Hui Niang nodded, and her suspicions became more and more serious. In the past, people occasionally came to visit, but An Ru had never seen such a gaffe. She saw Hui Niang saying to Kang Cheng: "Master, the kitchen is still boiling soup. The meeting hasn’t come up yet, I’ll go and have a look.”

Kang Cheng looked at Hui Niang and frowned, not convinced by her reason, but nodded anyway.

Outside, after An Ru walked out of the hall, she walked outside along the narrow path, when she was approaching the iron gate, she couldn't help slowing down her pace, now she didn't know how to face Xin Mei.

She didn't expect that he really came to her door, and she laughed a little at her worrying about gains and losses.

An Ru breathed out, and the hot air swirled up and wet her eye sockets.Xinmei's appearance gradually appeared in front of her eyes clearly.

"Have you eaten yet?" After not seeing each other for a long time, the first thing that came out was this insignificant sentence.

Hsin-mei said that he ate it.

In fact, he had just packed himself up after getting off the boat, and then followed the address Hung-chien gave him to find him. He only ate something on the boat last night, and after getting off the boat, he was so busy that he really didn't have time to eat.

An Ru nodded, and for a moment, the two of them were speechless to each other in the long snowy field.

He took a deep look at her, hiding the tiredness in his eyes, and finally he broke the silence.

"An Ru," Xin Mei took a deep breath and continued, "I miss you."

He missed her, and wished he could fly to her side during those days in Chongqing, even if he was still looked down upon, he didn't care, as long as he could look at her.At this moment, he couldn't restrain the urge to hold her in his arms, but he couldn't, he had already scared her once.

An Ru was startled by the concentration in his eyes. Under his aggressive attack, she completely lost the initiative. At this moment, she was extremely at a loss and wanted to escape from the territory designated by Xin Mei in panic.

It took a long time before she stood her ground so that she would not appear too downcast. She deliberately overshadowed his words, "Didn't you go back to Chongqing? When did you arrive in Shanghai?"

"I just got off the boat this morning." Xin Mei looked outside and her face was flushed with cold, "An Ru, it's so cold, don't you invite me in to have a sit?"

"It's not convenient to entertain guests at home today."

As soon as An Ru finished speaking, Hui Niang came out from the corner, as if she had just arrived, she complained: "An Ru, what does Mom usually teach you, and you don't know how to invite someone to come in and have a seat when guests come."

An Ru didn't know how much her mother had listened to their conversation, her ears were burning red, "Mom, when did you come?"

Hui Niang chatted with An Ru, "Mom just arrived."

After finishing speaking, she ignored her, but looked at Xinmei all over, and couldn't help nodding in satisfaction, with a calm look on her face, she said, "This is Mr. Zhao."

"Yes, I'm Zhao Xinmei, it's fine if my aunt calls me Xinmei, I'm An Ru's friend and friend." Xinmei paused before continuing, "A colleague."

An Ru was made nervous by him, and finally resigned to his fate and invited him in.

Kang Cheng went back to his study after eating, while Hui Niang concentrated on chatting with Xin Mei as if An Ru was gone.

An Ru sat at the table, propped her head up and looked at the two people who were chatting, she didn't know what to feel in her heart, and she didn't hear anything interesting that Xin Mei said that made her mother smile.

After this, for a few days, Xinmei would go to Xu's house every now and then, very diligently.

One day, after Xin Mei left, Hui Niang called An Ru into the room alone, and said, "An Ru, tell me how you feel about Xin Mei."

"Mom, stop asking. I don't know how to tell you. The relationship between me and him is not as simple as you think."

"You silly child, you were raised by me, so I don't understand you. You still remember how you dealt with Song Shenghe's pursuit more than a year ago. You just hid outside and didn't even see your face, but You treat Xinmei differently. Mom is someone who has experienced it, and you can feel his love for his mother."

Hui Niang interrupted what An Ru was going to say, "There may be some conflicts between you, but it's not a big deal. It's not easy to meet someone you love and love you in your life. It's a pity to be alone and not be together, and Mom doesn't want you to regret it for the rest of your life."

As Hui Niang spoke, another emotion was mixed in her eyes, and when she said this, she thought of another matter.

There was some confusion in An Ru's eyes, it wasn't that she didn't understand the meaning of her mother's words, it was rare for her to take that step forward.

"Mom, give me some time to think about it."

Hui Niang stroked her daughter's soft hair, and said lovingly: "Silly boy, no matter what decision you make, mom will support you unconditionally, as long as you don't regret the decision you made. What mom wants most is that you can happiness."

That night, An Ru tossed and turned, and she fell asleep in a daze until the sky was overcast.

When Xinmei came over, Hui Niang told him that An Ru had a fever.

"Did you see a doctor? What did the doctor say? Does it matter..."

Xinmei frowned and asked a lot of questions, but Hui Niang answered them one by one, "I've seen it,
