When Yan Qi was able to run and jump, Wu Yue could only continue to recuperate at home with bone injuries, so the five, six, and seven gangs in the academy now only had six or seven as companions, and the two of them would go to the outside of the classroom to enjoy the scenery and chat about daily life during recess.

"She has recently become obsessed with eating fasting and reciting Buddha, and has made a small Buddha hall in her room, and she sees that Tian'er is stuffy in it, and the child doesn't care much, so she throws it all to the nurse to bring," Lu Rong is talking about Aunt Xu at home, "Lu Lian is pregnant, and it is inconvenient to come back, so people come back to her to ask for silver, and she refuses to give it, so she only cares about chanting Buddha like a demon." ”

"Why did Lu Lian still ask for silver from her mother's house?" Yan Qi asked.

"The Min family is not doing well now," Lu Rong said lightly, "Since the defeat of Concubine Min and the demotion of Lord Min, the Min family has been busy taking money out to work around, first taking the money to save their lives and officials, and then taking the money to make a comeback, even the second girl Min was almost taken to change her future- I heard that the Min family wanted to marry the second girl Min into the Tu family, and married the high-ranking Tu family, so that she could return to the upper circle with the power of the military department, but unfortunately she was rejected by the arrow god. Can't make ends meet, shopping for silver everywhere, the Min family Lang forced Lu Lian to reach out to her mother's house to ask, Lu Lian cheekily asked my mother a few days ago, so that Mama Gong blocked it, she also knew that she didn't have a spring breeze in the past, and now she can't exchange it for autumn rain, so she has to go to Aunt Xu's head, Aunt Xu has taken silver from my father over the years, either she saved it herself or gave it to Lu Lianhua- She is naturally good to her biological daughter, but this time she doesn't know why, she refuses to pick out a child, if she says that there is a small one, she ignores the big one, but she doesn't look like it, and she refuses to care about the small one. ”

"It's a bit weird. Yan Qidao, "Could it be that she really saw through the world?"

Lu Rong thought for a while and said: "It seems to be a little similar, now she doesn't care about everything, it's not so much indifferent, it's more numb, a person who loved beauty and picks like she used to be, but now she doesn't pay attention to clothes, she wears whatever the girl hands over, and the same is true for eating, picking up a few mouthfuls to fill her stomach, and then she went into the Buddhist hall." ”

"I feel that with her temperament, she really doesn't look like someone who can see through the red dust. "Yan Qidao.

"yes, I just think that's weird. Lu Rong also said.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that she doesn't come out of the moth. "Yan Qidao.

Lu Rong nodded, fanned his cheeks with the hand holding the gauze, looked up at the shade of the tree above, and said: "This year is hotter than usual, and it's only in mid-May that it's already a little unbearable, I really envy you, you can go to Yudao again to escape the summer when you stay in the summer, right?"

"Don't worry, you'll be fine in a few years. "Yan Qidao.

“…… You come again!" Lu Rong threw her with a handkerchief, and then whispered again, "That's not possible, he is the official of Kyoto's parents, and he wants to sit in the yamen, and he can't go to Yudao with him." "Lu Lotus and Yan Qi can always let go of it, unlike when Wu Yue is present, that thing is heartless, sometimes it is so straightforward that it can make you burn a hole in your face.

"What's this, have you forgotten, doesn't my family also have an island on Qiandao Lake," Yan Qidao, "You don't have to wait a few more years, why don't you and Ah Yue follow me to live on the island for ten days and half a month this year, how about it?"

Lu Rong was a little tempted, and said with a smile: "I have to go back and ask Mrs. Lu, if her old man agrees, I will go." ”

"I'll give you a suggestion, when the time comes, you will let someone carry Ah Yue to help you intercede, and when my aunt saw that the goods were lame, she was pitiful, and she agreed as soon as her heart softened. "Yan Qidao.

Lu Rong couldn't stop laughing, and was quite a little longing: "We haven't lived together for a few days since we were young, if we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future." ”

In the future, when they all get married, who will be able to stay outside the home? In the future, there will be not only husbands, but also in-laws at home.

"As long as you and Ah Yue are not in a hurry to get married, there will be a chance this year, there will be a chance next year, and there may still be a chance the year after. "Yan Qidao.

"It's as if you don't have to get married. Lu Rong glanced at her with a smile.

"Yan Xiaojiu said I can marry. "Yan Qidao.

Lu Rong couldn't laugh: "I saw Xiao Jiu on the street that day, it seems that he has grown taller again, I don't think that the poisonous mouth is still the same, I think he and Xiao Chen have a good relationship, the two of them often go shopping together, I have met several times." ”

"Huh?" Yan Xiaojiu still uses Xiao Chen as a laborer/errand/thug/bodyguard/slave envoy? They also went shopping together...... "Where are they going?" Why didn't I see them?"

"I pass by there every day when I go home, and it's on Kom Tong Street in Yumufang, where there is a flower and bird market. Lu Rong said.

…… Yan Xiaojiu's kid is still investigating.

After the training of the Riding and Archery Club in the afternoon, Yan Qi asked Xiao Chen: "Will you go to make an appointment with Yan Xiaojiu in a while?"

"......" Xiao Chen nodded silently.

"What did you find out?" Yan Qi asked.

"......" asked so confidently...... "Yan Jiu has put a lot of effort into gaining the trust of the nearby residents," Xiao Chen said truthfully, "This is something that takes time, and I've been doing it all the time. ”

"Okay, then you guys work harder. Yan Qi encouraged.

"...... you" Xiao Chen looked at Yan Qi, "Not curious?"

"You're curious?" Yan Qi also looked at him.

Xiao Chen nodded, but he was decisive and firm.

"The reason why you are curious is just because Lord Xiao has a strange attitude towards me?" Yan Qi asked.

"I'm also curious...... Xiao Chen's eyes were contemplative, "my life experience." ”

“…… Wait, it's going to be sad for you to say that, Lord Xiao. Yan Qi looked at him for a while, "Do you have evidence?"

"I'm ......" Xiao Chen lowered his eyelids.

"Ah, I don't need to say it if it's inconvenient, I don't really want to know. Yan Qi shook his hand.

Xiao Chen raised his eyes and looked at the shooting range around him that had become empty, the golden glow of the setting sun made everything under it shine, and it seemed extremely unreal, just like all the memories he had since he was a child.

"Since I was the governor, I have known that my mother has been taking medicine," Xiao Chen said, "The family is thin, and my mother has always wanted to have a few more children, but it seems that her body is not right, and she has not been able to have it since she gave birth to me." Before going to Saibei, one day I passed by Renxintang and saw the people in my family taking medicine there, and after taking the medicine and leaving, I overheard what the old shopkeeper and his buddy said. The old shopkeeper said that the wife was very pitiful, and it had been eighteen years, and the child promotion medicine had not been broken. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Chen stopped, and the afterglow of the setting sun under his eyes was being dispelled by the darkness of the night.

Eighteen years have not been cut off promote.

Xiao Chen is not yet eighteen years old this year.

"I went to ask the shopkeeper," Xiao Chen's voice was very calm, "He refused to reveal the patient's condition, so I sneaked in late at night and got my mother's medical case." My mother's medical case is indeed from 18 years ago, every month I have to ask Renxintang's Lang Zhong to come to see a doctor, and every month I have to go to Renxintang to get the exclusive preparation of the child-promoting medicine, and then although I went to other provinces with my father, I will still pay Renxintang to send the medicine over and insist on taking it for so many years, until my father was transferred back to Beijing, and my mother still has not stopped taking the medicine, until now. I carefully read the medical case, and for 18 years, my mother has not stopped taking this medicine. ”

Xiao Chen is not yet eighteen years old, and the child promoter pill has been taken since eighteen years ago, and it has not been interrupted for a month, even if it has been pregnant with him for so long and has not stopped giving birth to him, how is this possible? The only answer that can be explained is that Xiao Chen was not born to Mrs. Xiao.

"With your temperament, I think you'll definitely ask directly. "Yan Qidao.

"Well, I went and asked my father. Xiao Chen said calmly, "He said that his mother was indeed unable to have children, and he didn't want to take a concubine, so he passed me from a relative's family to the Xiao family." ”

Yan Qi looked at him, unable to deduce how he felt about this in his heart. Not to mention such a thing as adoptive in ancient times, it is also a common phenomenon in modern times, but Yan Qi doesn't know how this will affect the parties, even if it is more important to raise grace than to give birth to grace, but if it is not biological parents, maybe he will feel a little regretful after all.

When I asked my father again who my father was, he would not say anything more. Xiao Chen looked at Yan Qi, "I thought I was his own flesh and blood, and the abnormality he showed to you was my curiosity, but now, this seems to have nothing to do with me, what I am curious about is changed by you to myself, I want to know who my biological father and mother are, just like Yan Jiu wants to know everything related to you." ”

"But you've been helping him check," Yan Qidao, "why don't you check your own business?"

"I'm also investigating, with Yan Jiu's help. Xiao Chen said.

"Ah, so you've formed a mutual aid group now?" Yan Qidao.

“……”

"Is there any progress in your affairs?" Yan Qi asked.

"Yan Jiu said, with my father's character, I will never hide it for fear that I will go to see my biological parents, even if they are long gone. Xiao Chen said, "And the reason why I don't want to say it is probably only two reasons, one is that I can't bear to say it, and the other is that I can't say it." I can't bear to say that there are two possibilities, one is that my biological parents have passed away a long time ago, and the other is that their personality or situation is extremely unbearable. However, if I pass away, there is nothing that I can't say, with my father's understanding of me, it is enough to know that it will not have any effect on me; if it is the latter, it is not like it, it is unbearable, and it does not affect the opinion of others, because I am already the son of my father, and I will not feel sorry, because I don't have much affection for them, let alone being in a bad situation, otherwise how could my father not lend a hand, and how could he be afraid that I will dislike my biological parents? ”

Yan Qi listened carefully, this "can't say" argument is really familiar, there seem to be many things in this world that are "can't be said", such as...... Sanyou Cave?For example, King Shou rebelled?For example, the Bu family was tragically destroyed?

"Adoption is the adoption of the son of the same clan as the heir," Xiao Chen lowered his eyes, "and I checked the Xiao family tree, and there is no record of succession on it. 166 Reading Network
