"Sir, the old lady said that the whole family would have dinner tonight, please go to the room. I fell in love with the old lady's grandmother who was talking outside the door. Today is not a day to ask for peace, and the family dinner is an impromptu idea of the old lady.

As for why he made a temporary decision, Yan Zike knew better than anyone else.

can enter the room, the family is not complete, Yan Zichen was ordered to go to the northern suburbs of the mountains to clean up the field, Mrs. Yan San is about to give birth and it is inconvenient to come, in addition to this, there is also a missing Yan Qi, and the third young master Yan also boarded in the academy and did not return home.

Unsurprisingly, when he entered the door, he met the old lady's red eyes, grabbed his sleeve and pinched and beaten: "How can it be like this! How can it be! Who is not good to let go to the life-fighting game? Why do you want to let you go! You are a civil official! Where can you be worthy of those martial artists! I don't allow you! I don't allow you to participate! You don't want to sign that life and death certificate! You go -- you go and ask the emperor for mercy -- after so many years, there is no merit and hard work, and you can always be accommodating--you go quickly!"

Yanzi smiled and patted the old lady's back gently: "Mother, life and death, my son has signed it." The terms and conditions read: Once signed, there can be no remorse. This is a matter of the two countries, and the rules set it are sacred, and it cannot be changed. ”

"You—you say—you say you're seriously ill! You're wounded! Let them be replaced!" The old lady did not hesitate to curse her son's illness for the sake of his son's life and death.

Unfortunately, her son can no longer make her as happy as he used to be, and give her endless expectations for a better life ahead.

"After signing the life and death certificate, it is as if you have entered the arena, whether you are injured or killed during the period, you are counted as a head, and no one can replace you. Yan Zike chuckled and looked at her, "If I don't go, we will have to deal with the sixteen people of Da Mo with fifteen people, and each one of them will have to take an extra risk, if I don't go, how will Da Mo and the envoys of various countries who came to watch the battle view the integrity of our officials? If I don't go, I don't ...... it."

"-You go! you go!" the old lady howled, and was comforted by everyone who came up to let go of Yan Zike, and helped her to sit on the bed of the Arhat.

The old lady, who had never said a word, finally let out a long sigh and said: "That's it, let him go, if he doesn't take the initiative to go up at this time, who will he let go? If he shrinks his head, who else will be able to look down on our Yan family in the future......?"

The old lady couldn't speak, so she just cried bitterly, and Mrs. Yan Er hurriedly pulled Xiao Eleven over and asked him to coax her grandmother.

Yan Zike didn't step forward, but walked to the side, sat down at the table, and looked at his third brother Yan Ziheng: "You have read a belly of books, and you are not a rigid person, you don't need to say more to you, just remember one thing: as a man, you should have a man's responsibility, and in this family, it is time for you to take on a responsibility." ”

Yan Ziheng hurriedly got up, lowered his head and said softly: "But listen to the teachings of the eldest brother." ”

Yan Zike smiled: "In the future, if you can really teach a peach and plum all over the world, the family's connections and property will be in your hands, and it is right to help your brothers and nephews, but one thing must be remembered: the connections in your hands are not used to seek them, but to protect themselves." In the future, if the family concentrates on the official career, it is a mixed opportunity and risk, and your responsibility is to use your connections when the Yan family is in danger, pull the Yan family to keep the family safe, it is enough. ”

"Yes, big brother. Yan Ziheng raised his eyes, trying to see the face of his brother who was close at hand, but found that this face was even more blurry and distant than usual.

"Zikai. "His eldest brother is already talking to the eldest child.

"Brother......" Yan Zikai dragged a chair in front of Yan Zike, "You say, I will listen to everything you say." ”

Yan Zi smiled and reached out and patted the top of his head lightly, as if he was still young, as if he was seven or eight years old.

"The new deployment of the imperial court has been completed, called the 'Information Department', and the new official will talk to you soon, and intends to make "Swallow Dawen" as the mouthpiece of the imperial court to speak to the outside world, and the Swallow Newspaper is also classified as the head of the Information Administration, but the income is still yours, and the main supervision of the Information Agency has the right to suggest and no decision-making power. That's what I wanted, and you did. ”

"I know," Yan Zikai said, "after all, it is necessary to have to be the mouth of the court so as not to get into trouble, after all, public opinion is nothing less than soldiers." ”

"In the future, all major news, announcements, and articles guided by public opinion related to national affairs will be contributed by the Commissioner of the Information Department. Swallow said.

"Write it down, not only that, but I thought about going back and discussing with the officer, before each issue of Yanzi Dawen is published, the manuscript will be submitted to the Information Agency for review, and we will send it after review, so that it is safer, and if there is a mistake in the future, it will be pushed on them. Yan Zikai drew inferences.

"Yes," Yan Zike smiled, "and then hand over the manuscript to Xiao Jiu, that child is meticulous, even if the Information Agency can't pay attention to the details, he will also notice." ”

"Okay! don't worry!" Yan Zikai patted his brother's knee with a straight face.

"Shocking waves. Yan Zike is also called the only son by his side.

"Daddy......" Fourth Young Master Yan had a bad premonition, bit his lower lip hard, and walked in front of him.

"I explained the matter of the horse farm to you that day, and then you will do it yourself, you are already an adult, and you should start to be independent. Yan Zike looked at him, "In the future, good horses will be bred and can be used exclusively for the imperial court, and there is one thing to keep in mind at that time: good horses should be separated from ordinary horses, good horses should not use their own fields, the fields should be rented from the court, and the people who guard the horses should also use the people of the court, but the technology of raising horses is in their own hands, which is something that will live in the world - do you understand the intention of doing this?"

"Understood," Fourth Young Master Yan nodded, his voice low, "Put the good horse within the controllable range of the imperial court, so as not to be framed by people with intentions and the taboo of the imperial court." ”

Yan Zike smiled: "It's just a rainy day, you can train the good horse first." ”

Fourth Young Master Yan pursed his lips vigorously and said, "Dad......"

Yan Zike gently interrupted his words: "Shocking waves, you have courage, self-confidence, and more tenacity, but what you lack is growth under the storm, it's time, shocking waves, it's time to grow up." ”

Fourth Young Master Yan's eyes were red, but he still bit his lip and didn't say a word, not because he didn't have anything to say, but because he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, tears would fall down in anger, so he had to nod desperately.

Yan Zike glanced at Young Master Yan Jiu, who had been sitting there silently, and beckoned to him, Young Master Yan Jiu got up and came over and stood in front of him, but Yan Zike did not speak to him alone, but looked at his brothers and nephews in front of him, smiled, and said: "The road under your feet is your own choice, I just paved a section for you, and how to go and how far this road can go depends on you after all." Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, politics is like joining the army, no one can be good for a thousand days, no one can be undefeated, but since you have chosen such a path, you must be able to bear the risk and withstand the changes. The most important thing is to learn to check and balance, learn to be moderate, and learn to control your desires that you shouldn't have. There is room for advance and retreat, and the ups and downs are normal. ”

Everyone responded with a "yes" in unison.

Yan Zike laughed again: "You are all very smart and capable, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't support you to take such a path, I believe that you can all control your own lives, so as not to live a dangerous life, walking on thin ice, provoking the taboo of the court and the disgust of hundreds of officials." Ziheng, if the third brother and sister is a male baby, you might as well hand it over to the old man for enlightenment, the old man taught Xiao Jiu, and naturally he can also teach Xiao Twelve well, and the elderly are most afraid that everyone will forget his ability. ”

Yan Ziheng hurriedly responded.

"Zikai, if you have leisure on weekdays, accompany the old lady more. ”

"Okay, big brother. ”

"Shocking waves, often take Shocking Dreams out to play, take care of her. ”

"Yes, Daddy......"

"After the tide comes back, you brothers and sons will support this family with your second uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle, be filial to your elders, brothers, friends and brothers, and take care of the female dependents in the family. ”

"Yes...... Dad! I also want to participate in the comprehensive martial arts competition with Da Mo!" Fourth Young Master Yan couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, knelt down with a thud, and grabbed the hem of Yan Zike's clothes, "I don't want to listen to your words! You will come back after the competition, can you explain it clearly now! I don't listen to you, you are not allowed to say, if there is anything you want to say, you will talk about it when you come back from the race! Say it in my ear for a lifetime!"

Yan Zi smiled and reached out to stroke the top of his head: "It's better to say it first, it's not a last word, it's just just in case, I can rest assured if I say it first, people who have no distractions will have good luck." ”

Fourth Young Master Yan still couldn't help crying, but was kicked by Yan Zikai beside him: "What are you crying about? Your father just asked you to grow up quickly, this time it's like a child again, your grandmother over there hasn't coaxed you yet, and when I see you like this later, I'm going to be sad again, hurry up!"

Fourth Young Master Yan stood up with tears wiped from his eyes, choked up and said: "Who said that adults can't cry, cry when they should cry, and be strong when they should be strong, my father said!"

"Who doesn't have a father!" Yan Zikai and his nephew were vindictive, and they were about to find their father, but after turning around, he raised his sleeve and rubbed his face fiercely.

Yan Zike smiled and ignored the boys, and his eyes swept over the remaining three girls.

For girls in this era, getting married and having children are the only two things to do in their lives, the only pursuit.

He can't change the perception that has been passed down for thousands of years. forced them not to depend on men, but they were afraid that their fate would be death.

So all he can care about is to find a good marriage for them.

The sixth girl, Yan Jingxiang, has her own mother in charge of the marriage.

The eighth girl, Yan Jingxiu, is not from the long house, but also has her father and mother to handle it for her.

The fifth girl Yan was frightened, his little daughter.

The marriage was optimistic for her, and she also asked her intentions, but she didn't express her position for a long time, and only said that she would consider it again.

Considering that now, he still hasn't waited for her answer.

He remembered her childhood. I once told him that she wanted a set of emerald jewelry, and she especially wanted it because she thought it was very beautiful. He told her that the feathers used to spot the emerald were plucked from the live kingfisher. She cried, stopped jewelry, and said that birds are pitiful, how can people bully the weak.

But later, she frantically wanted a bird skirt made of real bird feathers worth 100 gold.

"Mother said, wearing such a bird skirt is absolutely unique in Beijing, and no one can compare!"

Dream, you are unique in this world.

"But why is my father as good to Xiao Qi as he is to me? No! It's better than me! My mother said that there are some things that can't be shared!"

When you come back, you will know why people want to share, and there is much more fun to share than to enjoy it exclusively.

"Mother said that trekking through mountains and rivers and blowing wind and rain is what men do, we girls should dress beautifully and sit in the elegant Mingxuan high hall, drink tea elegantly, talk about poetry and enjoy the wonderful scenery of the small garden, how the wind and clouds change outside, what do we have to do?"

Dreaming, broaden your horizons, open your mind, open your mind, open up your life path.

"My mother said that I don't have to worry about my own life at all, my father is so capable, my mother is so rich, I will definitely arrange my life well, my mother said that I just need to make myself beautiful, how happy how to come, I don't have to worry about the dowry, my mother has already prepared it for me, saying that it must be ten miles of red makeup, and the money will not worry about spending for a lifetime!"

"Dad-my mother is the best for me, my mother has thought of everything for me, I just want to live such a life. ”

"Dad! They all say that my daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, so let my mother take me! I don't want any upbringing, I want my mother! Don't be so ruthless! You can't drag my mother's daughter away from her!"

"Daddy...... Mother said...... "......

Yan Zike stood up and walked towards his little daughter, who had failed to save even how he had been able to save him.

Or is he too demanding? The peacock has the peacock's way of living, and the swan has the swan's way of living.

If she likes to be a peacock, then she should be a peacock.

The money, jewelry, Mingxuan, and the stars holding the moon all she wanted, he gave them all.

If this will make her happy for the rest of her life, why not?

"Shocking dreams," Yan Zike walked up to his little daughter, "I left a letter with you and put it with your second brother-in-law." The letter contains answers to all the questions you don't understand, and if you want to know, go to Shigebuchi. Anything else, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Yan Wu girl slowly raised her head, looked at her father, and said softly: "Dad, why are you leaving? Why are you leaving? You are my father...... You should stay, love me and spoil me for the rest of your life. You are my father, you can only be good to me. But you're leaving, you can't. You can't go, I won't let you go. Dad, I won't let you go. You can't go-"

The hand hanging by the fifth girl's side was raised, and the wide sleeves of her dress slid to her wrist, revealing what she was holding in her hand, which was suddenly handed forward, drawing a short, snowy light.

With a pop, the snow light was buried in Yan Zike's abdomen.

The force was so great that Yan Zike staggered backwards.

The snow turned into blood and spewed out. Yan Wu girl let go of her hand, her palms, fingers, and wrists were all covered with blood.

What did she do? She really did! Keep her father, keep him, live or die, leave him! Never let him leave again, stay and hurt her alone, this is what she should have, this is what only she can have!

In this family, only her father really loves her, so she wants to keep him at all costs!

It's like her kitten, who always wants to run outside, and always refuses to stay in the house with her. So she cut off their limbs with scissors so that they wouldn't run away and would stay with her.

So, you see, whoever you want to keep, let whoever bleed, and when you bleed, you never left.

"Dad-" The fourth young master Yan roared, Yan Ziheng Yan Zikai Yan Jiu Young Master rushed over in a few steps to support Yan Zike, the old lady Yan raised his finger and pointed to this box can only tremble but unable to speak, the old lady Yan fainted to the ground when she saw the eldest son covered in blood, the ladies screamed, dodged, ran, cried, and went to support the old lady and the old lady......

The fifth girl Yan was crying and laughing, her face was unprecedentedly happy and crazy: "Okay, it's all right, it's all good, it's all good, giggles, my father stayed, I am the most favored fifth girl in the family again—— Dad! I don't marry that person, I want to marry Cui Xi! I want ten miles of red makeup, I want everyone to flatter me, slap me, and look at me with envy to death!" I am Sui Fangxin, I am well married, I am rich, I want to be a wife, I want to have a son, one is a big official, the other is rich, I want my daughter to marry the emperor, I want my husband not to take concubines, I want my mother-in-law to hand over power, I want my concubine to live no matter how I live, I want everyone in my family to respect me and fear me, and everyone in the family envy me and envy me—— do you understand father?! This is what my mother and I want! This is what I want!"

"Evil grandson—evil grandson—" The old lady watched her son fall in a pool of blood, her heart ached, and her eyes turned black. 166 Reading Network
