Yanlu's knee-jerk reaction was-"Han Xuan? ”

"What?"

"No," Yan Lu was stunned, "the junior is rude." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It's just that the person the predecessor said is ......"

"Huh? Forget it, that's not something you and I can comment on at will. Zhou Yan pursed his lips, "It's just that you are all the same duplicity, and in your heart, you have actually scolded the old man to the end, and you keep complimenting you, which is the most hypocritical!" ”

For his judgment, Yan Lu is not in a hurry to refute for himself, at his age, and he has been in a high position for many years, and he has his own set of basis for doing things, which has become a dead reason, and he can't stand the refutation of others, the more explanations he has, the more explanations he may be more like a cover-up, and the cover-up is the truth, and he is afraid that he will be more and more black, and there will be no chance to turn over.

So he didn't refute or accept it, but he laughed more and more innocently, which made people think that Zhou Yan was lying and wronged him.

Zhou Yan was a little annoyed, and was about to say something more, when a maid suddenly walked out from behind the screen, paced to him, changed to a new cup of tea, and advised: "Master, Madame instructed the slave to remind you, 'It's better to drink this tea while it's hot, if it's cold, you won't be able to drink it'." ”

Zhou Yan said in a low voice: "Got it." ”

After the maid retreated, Yanlu glanced at the screen, and then heard Zhou Yan cough a few times, attracting his attention, and then said, "Since you came today, you should know why I want you to come?" ”

Yanlu nodded, "Yes, the junior heard Miss Zhou mention it, but for an old man who is somewhat similar to the younger generation?" Seeing that Zhou Yan's expression was dyed with a little longing and depression and he didn't know it, as if he had fallen into some kind of memory and couldn't extricate himself, his heart moved, and he cautiously tentatively said: "If you can, the seniors don't tell you about this old man as well as the juniors, perhaps, the juniors don't necessarily know each other?" ”

Zhou Yan's body stiffened, turned his head to look at him, his eyes carefully swept over his face and facial features, as if with these familiarities, he pieced together those memories little by little, and his words and laws did not urge, just waited quietly. After a long time, he suddenly sighed, and then slowly spoke: "She...... Her name is Zhou Fang, and she is the youngest daughter of the old man. ”

The moment Yan Lu heard the name, his pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Zhou Yan, so gaffe, but no one cared about it, and Zhou Yan had already fallen into memory, his voice was deep and slow, and he began to tell the story of many years ago little by little.

Zhou Yan was diligent and conscientious all his life, followed the rules, and did not dare to take a wrong step. He has been an official for many years, and he has seen all the darkness of officialdom, everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and the world is hot and cold, so if he wants to live, he only has the road of respecting etiquette and following the law, and if he does not do anything out of the ordinary, there will be no danger.

He behaved like this, and unswervingly instilled this belief in his children - men should study to gain fame, everything is inferior, only reading is high, not playthings to lose their minds, and be dragged down by women to ruin their future; Women are virtuous if they are talentless, soft and weak, relying on men to survive, husbands and children, and three from four virtues are serious.

He has a total of one son and two daughters, all of whom were educated according to such standards.

For so many years, it has been very good, the eldest son is diligent and diligent in studying every night, only obsessed with fame, and has never been blinded by the prosperity of the world, the two daughters are also gentle and virtuous, the small family jasper, and the more and more slim after the hair, the children are so good, the husband and wife are harmonious, and the family business is smooth, he feels very little, and he only feels that there are no regrets in this life.

However, suddenly one year, it seemed like overnight, everything changed.

"That year, the old man's eldest son married, and the old man's eldest daughter married her husband, which can be described as double happiness, and the family was busy with happy events, and had no time to take care of him.

The old man has been an official for many years, and because of his temperament, he has offended a lot of people, and at that time he was only afraid that the enemy would make a move, but he didn't dare to think more about it, so he continued to talk about the marriage, and at the same time ordered people to go to the places where the little girl often went to look for it, or it was just lost.

Later, we asked around and didn't find any news of the little girl, so we had no choice but to report to the official. A few days later, someone told the old man that he had seen the traces of the old man and the little girl in a small town outside the capital, and we immediately went to investigate, and found that the little girl was abducted by a group of human traffickers, and they were chased here by officers and soldiers, and fled to the edge of a mountain cliff but there was nowhere to escape.

Those bandits were all outlaws, and they simply fought to the death with the officers and soldiers or had a chance to survive, but who knows, just when the two sides were fighting, the carriage was suddenly frightened, and rushed straight to the cliff, and no one could stop it. The cliff was bottomless, and it was impossible to go to the bottom of the cliff to confirm whether the person was still alive. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help choking up anymore, "Poor old man's little daughter, I really can't see anyone alive or dead!" ”

"Pity the seniors with a fatherly heart, but please mourn." Yanlu listened patiently to what he said, and there was already a little guess in his heart, but he still showed a puzzled look and asked, "You called me here, do you think that I have something to do with your little daughter?" ”

Zhou Yan nodded with an ugly face, "Please forgive the old man for being rude, before inviting you to the mansion, the old man had already ordered someone to inquire about your life experience." found that your birthplace was in the town where Fang'er fell off the cliff and disappeared, and your mother was suddenly rescued home by your father, without father and mother, and your background is mysterious, plus now I see that you are indeed a little similar to the old man's hard-working child, the old man guessed, maybe you are the orphan of my child? I just hope you can come up with some more evidence to solve the old man's doubts. ”

"As you said, the existence of my mother is indeed like a mystery, but I do hear people call my mother's name Fang'er." Yanlu thought for a while and hesitated: "I wonder if your daughter, there is also a birthmark with a butterfly pattern on the back shoulder?" ”

With a bang, it was Zhou Yan who missed for a while and knocked over the tea cup on the side.

His eyes were wide-eyed, his breath was short, and his face was full of disbelief.

When you look at the law, you will know that it is.

His mother-in-law, his mother-in-law, who was silent as long as he mentioned his parents and kept hiding his face and whimpering, was really Zhou Fang, the youngest daughter of Zhou Yan who had been separated for many years.

He suddenly had an inexplicable feeling of resentment in his heart, so he smiled and said slowly with deep meaning: "If this is the case, my mother is your little daughter who fell off the cliff but did not die, but unfortunately, you still can't see her, because she died more than ten years ago." ”

"Madame! What's wrong with you, ma'am? As soon as he finished speaking, an exclamation suddenly came from behind the screen, and he vaguely saw an old woman fainting to the ground with her eyes closed, her gray temples and faint tears that had not dried up.

"The old woman has fainted, go and call the doctor!"

Zhoufu, it's messed up. (To be continued.) )
