Dangerous Intimacy [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 49

He did not inform the General's Mansion of the time of his return, but the doorman saw from afar that it was the East Palace's carriage visiting, and immediately went to prepare the sedan chair.

When Xu Yang lifted the curtain of the car and came out first, he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this.He turned around when he landed, and asked Xiao Yanchen who followed him: "Can I come down? Otherwise, my brother will hug you."

"Yes." Xiao Yanchen nodded, lifted his clothes and walked down the sedan chair. After landing, he knelt down and thanked the young man who was supporting the sedan chair.Then, he looked around and didn't know what he was thinking.

The other party is obviously not as active as children of the same age, and his behavior outside is not timid, and even has the elegance of a handsome young man.Xu Yang recalled the emperor's prudence again, and became more and more convinced that the Yan family was unusual, at least not a general remnant of the previous dynasty.Now, he needs to investigate carefully.

After watching the carriage return, Xu Yang regained his smile and led the young man by the hand into the mansion.

The Xu family made their fortune in the south of the Yangtze River. Except for Xu Jingshi's brothers and sisters who insisted on going north to conquer the country of Li, the rest of the family continued to operate ceramics and tea and wine business in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Xu Jingshi was away in battle, there was almost no chance of returning home, but the courtyard structure of the General’s Mansion has strong Jiangnan characteristics, like a freehand landscape, with white walls and black tiles, dense bamboo and rockery, and a fish pond and remnant lotuses on the left side of the vestibule , next to the winding corridor on the right is the Ganquan pavilion, and the scenery everywhere is extraordinarily exquisite.

At first glance, it really doesn't look like a general's mansion.

Xu Yang thought about taking someone to have breakfast first, and after that, he walked straight to his Qingyun Courtyard.Then he ordered the boy to boil hot water, and the main courtyard invited him over.Xu Yang bit the pastry into pieces and swallowed it in his mouth, wiped off the crumbs on Xiao Yanchen's cheeks, and said, "Eat slowly, don't worry, the maids will put water for you to take a bath later, if you need to tell them anything."

"Okay." Xiao Yanchen answered in a soft voice, watching the man pull up his train and leave.

***

Xu Yang was prepared to be called to interrogate him as soon as he came back. He walked quickly to the study room in the main courtyard, and saw Xu Jingshi grinding his ink and practicing regular script. I was so angry that I didn't calm down at all.

His mother, Qin Jingyuan, was also there, pouring a cup of hot tea for each of the father and father without haste.She handed the teacup to Xu Yang, and asked gently, "Did you bring the child back?"

"Well, let's have breakfast in my yard."

Qin Jingyuan nodded, then asked with a light smile, "Yang'er, do you want to raise yourself? Mother still wants to have someone clean the room you lived in when you were young. If you go to the military camp on weekdays, she will take care of you."

"I really plan to take it with me and teach myself. If I go to the military camp, it's not something important to take with me. Otherwise, I will put it in Qingyun Academy, and there will be enough people to take care of it." After Xu Yang finished speaking, he helped Qin Jingyuan sit down again. Then he sat aside.

However, before he sat down and warmed up, Xu Jingshi roared: "You bastard, stand up for me! You even took it to the barracks, do you know who you brought back?" At the same time as the sound fell, his subordinates were "quiet" The last stroke is still crooked.

"Father, you scared mother." Xu Yangteng straightened up.

"Don't mention your mother, she can't save you." Xu Jingshi slammed the pen on the table and walked out, "Don't avoid the important ones, just answer if you know what kind of trouble that child is."

Xu Yang paused, and said honestly: "I only know that it is the orphan of the Yan family in the previous dynasty, and it was left in Mingli Academy to fend for itself, and I don't know anything else."

"The word Qianchao is enough for others to avoid, how can you jump in by yourself." Xu Jingshi pointed at the lowered head opposite him, out of breath, "The court has basically known what happened yesterday, and now the officials They privately commented that the prince is still immature, but they clearly said that you are stupid. After three years in the army, you have not been able to develop a strong heart, but you have become more benevolent. "

Xu Yang opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but finally gave up under Xu Jingshi's cannonball.

"Fortunately, I didn't get confused at the end. I asked for a reward. Otherwise, our family would not even think about writing and drinking tea. Let's squat in the sky to catch mice."

Qin Jingyuan laughed, and finally couldn't help but interjected: "Where is it outrageous, my son is so scared at this age." She stood up and patted the back of Xu Yang's hand, and then said: "Don't listen to your father's nonsense, It's not that serious. When the Minister of Rites came to visit a few months ago, he asked his mother if he wanted a child as a companion. If this orphan of the Yan family was so untouchable, he wouldn't hang a gold medal for avoiding death and throw it at Mingli Academy. It's us The family's position is too special."

After finishing speaking, Qin Jingyuan turned to the inside, her eyes beckoning people to speak in detail quickly.

Xu Jingshi snorted twice, then calmed down and said seriously: "Actually, it was an innocent disaster. None of the ancestors of the Yan family was an official in the court, but they were very famous among the literati. When the previous dynasty was destroyed, some civil officials hid in Yan It was only discovered half a year ago. Although they all surrendered to Li Guo in the end, His Majesty still has a grudge in his heart.

We are military generals, and we will check and balance with civil servants in the court. If we win over the hearts of scholars one day, no matter how deep our friendship with the royal family is, our good days will come to an end.So you said that our family is the least able to adopt that child? "

"No, your majesty's grudges are not because of taking in civil servants." Xu Yang frowned, and blurted out almost without thinking, "when your majesty ruled the Central Plains, most of the former ministers died well. In order to strengthen the hearts of the people, There are also quite a few who continue to be officials, but for the Yan family, His Majesty can be regarded as directly exterminating the family, so could it be that they are considering restoring the former dynasty... No, then Chen'er will not stay at all."

Seeing Xu Jing suddenly became nervous, Xu Yang slowed down his speech, and after the other party confirmed that there was no one outside the room, he finished in a low voice: "So, His Majesty is the one who wanted to kill—why?"

Xu Jingshi sighed deeply, and after a long while, under the gaze of the two, he said briefly: "Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty."

After listening, Xu Yang smiled, and said not tactfully, "What kind of treasure is so rare, His Majesty will snatch it even if he kills all the adults."

"You don't want to go deeper, your father doesn't know." Xu Jingshi turned his hand away and forcibly changed the subject, "Since the child has been brought back, then follow what you said, take him as a foster brother, and find him Don’t even think about practicing martial arts if a master teaches poetry. Your mother and I were thinking about having a grandson as soon as possible.

Xu Yang: "It's all about my own upbringing."

"Your father is willing to take over this muddy water, but you are not willing!" Xu Jingshi's tone was just brisk, but now he pulled his face back, "Suddenly feel that those colleagues are right, you are stupid."

"Yang'er's heart is softened, but he's not very impulsive." Xu Yang took a deep breath and said, his voice was still a little trembling, "He was still so young, he was treated inhumanely, and he was alone and helpless. When I saw it at that time, Yang The son thought of the day when he first entered the military camp, because he was anonymous, so he was thought to be an orphan who wandered somewhere. He struggled in the recruits' eggs, and before he became famous, any soldier could vent his anger.

Once, I was accused of stealing the instructor's money. If I hadn't had a flash of inspiration at the end, I climbed up to the roof and dug out the magpie's nest. He chuckled, "Of course, at the last moment, the name will still be reported." "

When Xu Yang stole to the school grounds in the suburbs, Xu Jingshi was still fighting the enemy in the northwest and couldn't take care of his wife and children.After hearing the news, he felt more guilty than relieved, but it was precisely because he saw that his son had passed the lowest level of tempering that he dared to send him to the side with confidence.

While he was deeply moved, he saw Xu Yang's expression as if he was waiting for praise, and he said duplicity: "If such a small matter can't be handled well, I'd be ashamed."

"Yes, yes, I also think that's too embarrassing." Xu Yang grinned in response, and then restrained his smile after a while, "Father, the world is unfair. There are many people who don't know right from wrong, good from evil, so they have to Struggling to survive. Chen'er was only six years old, and he was just a baby when the previous dynasty fell. He was just born at the wrong time.

Saving him is a risk of being suspected by His Majesty, but no matter how cautious we are, our family seems to be unable to escape the end of being suspected, so why don't I save him? "There was no thought in this passage, it was all sincere feelings, Xu Yang stood still in place after finishing speaking.

Finally, he waited for support.

Xu Jingshi and Qin Jingyuan beside him met their gazes, and said with subtle relief and helplessness: "You are so determined, can dad still rob someone? I just hope you remember that you are responsible for what you do, don't regret it, I can't regret it either."

……

When Xu Yang returned to Qingyun Courtyard, Xiao Yanchen had already washed and changed into new clothes.He learned from the maid that the other party did it by himself, except for a flower button on his clothes.

After entering the master bedroom and seeing someone, Xu Yang froze at the door.

The new clothes were the old ones that Qin Jingyuan picked out from the warehouse early in the morning, and they were prepared for his young self, but at that time he thought the clothes were too elegant, so he never wore them.But now, the clothes seem to bloom its value.

Xu Yang leaned over slowly, knelt down on one knee, adjusted the loose belt, and tied Mo's hair into a simple ponytail.

"Brother?" Xiao Yanchen waited for the other party to finish before turning around, his dark golden pupils shone brightly.

"Well, I'm back." Xu Yang adjusted his collar again, and said with a smile, "Auntie is quite discerning, and she is very suitable for you. I will meet people later and ask her to pick you up. "

"Ma'am, please." Xiao Yanchen lowered his head slightly.Xu Yang thought about it, and corrected him: "You have to call me A Niang in front of people, and it doesn't matter in private, remember?"

Xiao Yanchen hesitated for a moment, and responded obediently, "Okay." His eyes were bright, his lips were tightly pressed, and he moved forward cautiously with a little joy.Xu Yang didn't think much, and picked him up with one hand, "Let's go, let's have a cup of tea now."

The courtyard is full of autumn, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is refreshing. When it touches the broad-shouldered little head, two triangular long ears appear, which shrug for a moment and disappear in a flash.
