Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 111

Pei Xuan took Yan Zhaohua around the market again before sending her back.

Yan Xiu came out of Desheng Building, and the carriage was already waiting in front of the door. Desheng Building is located on the east side of Chang'an Avenue, built by the water, and it is an excellent place for elegant gatherings. Today, Yanxiu hosted a banquet here A group of colleagues glanced at the bustling crowd and saw a little girl wearing a veiled hat standing in front of a mask booth. Her clothes and back were very similar to his eldest daughter Yan Zhaohua.

On the opposite side of her was a tall and thin man wearing a Zhong Kui mask to make her happy. Just as he was about to look at the girl and turned around, his colleagues came out to say goodbye to him one after another. When I turned my gaze back to the mask booth, the young couple was gone.

The guests all dispersed, and Yan Bo came up the steps and said to Yan Xiu:
"Master Hou, you drank wine tonight, why don't you ride a horse and take a carriage." Seeing Yan Xiu's eyes searching for something in the crowd, Uncle Yan asked again: "What is Master Hou looking for?"

Yan Xiu was extremely puzzled: "I... seem to see the young lady. With a man..."

Yanbo also took a look in the crowd, but he didn't notice the strange thing Yan Xiu said, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, what are you talking about? At this hour, Missy has already rested, but she didn't come out You won't be walking on the street with a man! You must be seeing it wrong."

Yan Xiu squeezed his brows, thinking about what Yan Bo said was right, his daughter, he knew, was not the uneasy-minded Meng Lang, she kept her own place and never did things that would damage her reputation. Much, as Yan Bo said, he drank some wine and became a little dazed.

He waved his hand and said, "It's true that I was wrong. Come back, instead of taking a carriage, riding a horse is just a good way to sober up."

Yan Bo took the order to let the groom lead the horse over, and helped Yan Xiu get on the horse. Yan Xiu pinched the horse's belly, but he was still a little worried. He turned around and looked around in the crowd to make sure he didn't see the previous two again. Only then slowly rode forward.

Yan Zhaohua was trapped in a dark alley by Pei Xuan, his heart almost jumped into his throat.If it wasn't for Pei Xuan's vigilance to spot Yan Xiu in front of the Desheng Building and drag her to hide in advance, at this time, she might have slipped home by Yan Xiu.

After tugging at Pei Xuan's sleeve, Pei Xuan let go of the hand covering her lips. After Yan Zhaohua took two breaths, he asked Pei Xuan, "My father is gone?"

Pei Xuan looked at it with his head: "Let's go."

"Do you think my father saw us?" Yan Zhaohua frowned worriedly.

Pei Xuan shook his head and said comfortingly: "No, if I see it, I will definitely come to look for it."

When Yan Zhaohua heard this sentence, he thought it was right, so he stroked his chest with a little reassurance. Seeing her pale face, Pei Xuan looked pitiful, and wished to press her against the wall, ruthlessly A few more kisses to make her more pitiful... Amused by his beastly thoughts, shaking his head, Pei Xuan said solemnly:

"I'll take you back quickly, just in case."

The back window of the master bedroom of Qingqueju was opened from the outside, Yan Zhaohua turned into the room from the outside, looked at Pei Xuan who was still standing outside the window, took off the veil on his head, and just used a pair of Staring at Pei Xuan with bright eyes, Pei Xuan's heart moved, he restrained the urge to pull her to his side, waved his hand and said to her:

"I'm leaving. I have to deal with matters on Nancheng Street these days. I guess it will take ten days and a half months. I will come to you when I finish my work."

Yan Zhaohua nodded shyly, Pei Xuan waved to her, Yan Zhaohua hesitated for a while, then walked over, Pei Xuan took Yan Zhaohua's hand, lowered his head and looked twice, like a piece of paper As cool and charming as nephrite jade, he couldn't help lowering his head and kissed the back of Yan Zhaohua's hand. Yan Zhaohua turned his head in embarrassment. rubbed, and then said:
"Okay, I really have to go."

Yan Zhaohua looked up at him, pursed his lips and said, "Be careful."

After the two said goodbye, Pei Xuancai turned around and disappeared into the night.

Yan Zhaohua closed the window, went back to the room and looked around, then hurriedly went back behind the screen and changed into the nightgown from before.

Yan Xiu came back from the outside and was about to go back to his study. After much deliberation, he still thought of Qing Que taking a look at Yan Zhaohua in the middle. The back figure he saw at the market earlier was so similar, it made him somewhat uneasy. He was sure it couldn't be his own daughter, but Yan Xiu still wanted to come and see, the eldest son got into trouble today, and he was fined, the blow was quite heavy, so it was time to ask him how he was doing.

When I came to Yan Zhaohua's courtyard, I saw that the light in her room was still on, so I didn't let the servant pass the message, but came to her door by myself, and knocked on the door: "Zhaohua, are you asleep?"

Yan Zhaohua just took off his hairpins and loosened his hair. When he heard the knock on the door, he was so frightened that his eyes fell on his face in the bronze mirror. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he took a deep breath and calmed down. The opening voice:
"Father, I haven't slept yet."

Then he stood up, walked to the door, took a deep breath, regained his composure, lifted the latch, and opened the door. Before he had time to change his clothes at home, Yan Xiu stood outside the door. Yan Xiu looked Yan Zhaohua up and down After a quick glance, he really looked like he was about to fall asleep, and he couldn't help but feel helpless for his nervousness.

Yan Zhaohua said: "Why is dad here? I'm just about to sleep. Come in."

How could Yan Xiu say that it was because he was dazzled by drinking and saw a figure from the back that looked like her outside, so he came here to see if she was there.Nodding his head, he entered with his hands behind his back and asked:
"I'll just sit for a while and ask about brother Qian's situation."

Yan Zhaohua heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and led Yan Xiu into her small study, and said, "Brother Qian fell asleep after eating something, did you go to see him?"

Yan Xiu sat on the grand teacher's chair behind Yan Zhaohua's desk, exhaled, and said, "I didn't go to see him, this kid has caused such a big disaster today, it's easy to beat him, if you don't hit him harder, he You never know it's serious."

Yan Zhaohua sat aside and listened carefully, Yan Xiu leaned on the back of the chair, looked at the writing on Yan Zhaohua's desk, picked it up casually to read, and continued: "It's not that I'm heavy handed, it's that that kid is too incompetent Well, I have invited the name of the prince for him, and the decree of your county magistrate will come down in two days, and he actually made such a big mess for me. If it weren't for Prince Gong's rescue today, he It's really been calculated by others, let alone him, even our Changning Hou Mansion has to be implicated by him."

Yan Zhaohua was also surprised when he heard Yanxiu say this: "Is the decree coming?"

Yan Zhaohua really didn't know about this matter. Yan Xiu asked her to be the county magistrate before, but he had heard about Yan Ruiqian's asking for the title of heir son for the first time.Yan Zhaohua can clearly remember that in the last life, Yan Xiu didn't mention asking Yan Ruiqian to be crowned son until he drove Yan Ruiqian out of the Marquis Mansion. It seems that in the last life, Yan Xiu was very disappointed with Yan Ruiqian. But she always felt that Yan Xiu didn't like Yan Ruiqian, but now that she thought about it, it was probably because Yan Ruiqian in the previous life didn't make much progress. In this life, he only showed a little bit of a good posture, so Yan Xiu let go Please seal him up.

Suddenly wanted to cry, she was confused in her previous life, she was played around by Mrs. Xie, Yan Ruiqian had no one to teach her, and a good seedling was spoiled. However, Yan Zhaoning and Yan Shuyan replaced everything about them. After Yan Ruiqian was kicked out of the Marquis Mansion, Yan Xiu invited Yan Shuyan's son. From then on, the three of Xie's mother and son became even more arrogant , crushed her until she couldn't breathe, and scribbled all her life.

Seeing the tears in Yan Zhaohua's eyes, Yan Xiu couldn't bear it: "I know that I was sorry for you in the past. I was devoted to political affairs, and I always wanted to climb up. I will hand you all into Xie Lan's hands and let your siblings eat." After a lot of suffering, the imperial decree came down immediately. You have the title of county lord and Shiyi, and Brother Qian has become the son of the prince. You two must behave more carefully in the future, and you must not do such things that damage your reputation, Brother Qian There, I won’t go to see him for the next two days, you can go around more, explain these principles to him, and let him grow up. I know he doesn’t want to study literature, and it’s true that he doesn’t have the talent, but no matter what How should I put it, he still has to take the exams in the past few years. I don’t ask him how good his grades are in the exams. I just hope that in the past two years, he will not forget about studying. After two years, he will grow up, and then decide What are you going to do in the future?"

"Father has always known that Brother Qian wants to abandon literature and pursue martial arts?" Yan Zhaohua was very surprised. He always thought that Yan Xiu was indifferent to family affairs, but this man just used his own method to pay attention silently.

In her last life, she hated Yan Xiu for being ruthless, and felt that he was kind and lustful, and ignored his children, but now she also understands that he handed over the responsibility of educating his children to Mrs. Xie, because Xie Before her true face was revealed, she was indeed a competent wife. The affairs of the house were well organized, and there was no rumor of harsh treatment of her children. Yan Xiu was devoted to political affairs. As long as there was no accident at home, he would naturally not stare at her. It wasn't until after Mrs. Xie's accident that he probably didn't realize how inadequate he had done, and without Mrs. Xie, he began to care about everything in the mansion.

"How could I not know. That kid is now considered a small person in the Martial Arts Field of the Ministry of War. Those guys from the Ministry of War have told me how many times that he must let Brother Qian go to the Ministry of War in the future, but he is still young. He was suppressed because he didn't want him to give up his studies completely, he doesn't have a solid foundation in these studies, and he won't be able to understand the tactics of war in the future, so is it possible that he will really be the leader of the battle for the rest of his life?"

Yan Xiu looked like he must have drunk a lot tonight. Yan Zhaohua felt that even if he talked to her on weekdays, he would not talk so much to her. The night was quiet and long, and the father and daughter were talking in the study. This scene made Yan Zhaohua feel extremely peaceful.Yan Xiu's confession untied one knot after another in her heart. In the past, she felt that she was pitiful and her mother was dead and her father didn't love her, but now after hearing Yan Xiu's words, Yan Zhaohua felt that she was still loved by someone.

"He should be able to understand these reasons. He and I have never dealt with each other since we were young. I really hated him in the few years when he was born. I felt that he killed your mother. I also lacked love for him. He should hate me. Yes, but these years, I also came out and tried to repair the relationship with him, but found that he already had his own opinions, and it was not the time for me to repair the relationship with a few words. You are his own sister, you can see , He is very convinced of you, he will definitely listen to what you say, and you usually persuade him more."

Yan Xiu felt a little sentimental as he spoke.

Seeing him like this, Yan Zhaohua felt uncomfortable, so he simply changed the subject and asked:
"Brother Qian, I will naturally do my best to supervise, but now there is still the matter of Sister Ning and Brother Yan. Now that Brother Qian and I have canonized titles, but neither of them has anything on them. I am afraid that Sister Ning After my son finds out, I should feel bad again."

Hearing Yan Zhaohua mention Yan Zhaoning who was punished and grounded by him, Yan Xiu sighed again, shook his head and said, "I really don't know how that child became like this. When I was young, I only thought she was cute, but I didn't expect her to be narrow-minded... "After a moment of silence, he continued: "Don't worry about her matter, don't feel sorry for them. The matter between you and Brother Qian is what I mean. in this way."
