Chapter 159: Brothers (I)

Entering the main hall, the old man sat in the first place, let us sit down on the side seats on both sides in turn, his eyes turned around on a few of us, and Yun Zheng's calmness, my doubts, and An Yuanxi's expressionless face were all taken into his eyes, and he coughed lightly before he spoke: "You all know each other, and you don't need me to introduce you." This time, I brought Yuanxi back, mainly because I have something to announce to you. ”

I raised my eyes to look at the old man, and when I saw that his face was serious, I couldn't help but become cautious. The old man saw that we were all staring at him, so he said slowly: "Yuanxi is Yun Yi's flesh and blood, I will bring him back to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and in the future, Yuanxi will be the second young master of the Hou Mansion!" ”

I was stunned, a little unable to come back to my senses. What does the old man mean is that An Yuanxi is the illegitimate son of Yun Zheng's father born outside? Aren't he and Yun Zheng brothers? Turning his head to look at Yun Zheng, he saw that he only had a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then nodded to the old man: "Zheng'er understands." "My fingers are a little cold, my mind is a mess, I am shocked, God, are you kidding me? If so, how will the two brothers deal with themselves in the future? How will I face An Yuanxi in the future?

"Girl?" When the old man saw that I was stunned, he called out to me, "What are you doing?" ”

I came back to my senses and forced a smile, "I'm fine, grandpa." ”

"Well, it's Chinese New Year's Eve in two years, and I'm going to hold an ancestor recognition ceremony for Yuanxi on the first day of the new year." The old man glanced at me lightly and smiled, "Before this, I have to present my feelings to the emperor, and I have to invite some relatives and friends to watch the ceremony, so I have to work hard for you in the past two days." ”

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the two stewards of De and Yi in a while to see how to prepare." I calmed down and nodded. Yun Zheng glanced at me and said loudly: "Grandfather, Ye'er is inconvenient, let the two stewards handle these things." ”

The old man looked at me, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Girl, Zheng'er is really protecting you." Well, I'll talk to the two stewards in a moment. ”

I don't know if I'm too careful, I always feel that the old man has something to say, and I can't answer it, so I have to smile: "Grandpa, you have worked hard all the way, I asked people to prepare hot water for you to bathe, and I have already let people clean up your room." An ......, how about Uncle temporarily live in 'Yiyuan'? ”

"Okay." The old man nodded and said to Yun Zheng, "Zheng'er, you are not well, go back to the room to rest." Yunyi, you take the second young master to 'Yiyuan'. ”

I followed Yun Zheng back to the room, Yun Zheng held my hand, and didn't speak all the way. Yun Zheng is so self-contained, he doesn't ask the old man in front of An Yuanxi, I don't know what kind of mood he feels in the face of a "younger brother" who suddenly appeared? And this "younger brother" even used to be his wife's lover. Even though I know everything about my past, Yun Zheng knows it clearly, but I still can't help but feel a little weak.

I lowered my head and looked at the ground, let him lead me forward, struggled in my heart for a long time, and said timidly: "Yun Zheng......"

"Huh?" He stopped, turned to look at me, and there was a hint of apology on his face, "Am I walking too fast?" ”

"No ......" I quickly shook my head and looked at him worriedly, "Yun Zheng, are you unhappy?" ”

He looked at me quietly, held my hand tightly, and sighed slightly: "Ye'er, don't you have confidence in me?" ”

"It's not!" I hurriedly denied it, and immediately regretted what I just said, and I used the thoughts of modern people to speculate on others, but my Yun Zheng will never be someone else, "I'm sorry......"

"Fool......" he gently stroked my face, brushing a strand of hair hanging from the side of my face behind my ear, "That's it, I'm a little tired, go back to my room by myself, you go to Grandfather's." ”

"Huh?" I looked at him in a daze, and he smiled faintly: "You must still have some doubts, I know your surname, and I won't be willing if I don't figure it out." ”

My face burned slightly, Yun Zheng really knew me too well. He let go of my hand and said softly, "Go ahead." ”

He turned back to his room, and I looked at his back in a daze, until his figure turned around the courtyard and was no longer visible, and then suddenly came back to his senses. turned around and walked to the old man's yard, only to step into the yard, and saw the old man's little maid Jin'er coming over, and said with a smile: "Young lady, the Hou Ye is waiting for you." ”

Yes, it seems that the old man also felt my temper clearly, I smiled embarrassedly, and followed Jin'er into the room, the old man sat on the soft couch and drank tea, and when he saw me enter, he smiled slightly: "Girl, I knew you would come back, come and sit." ”

I walked forward with a light smile, sat down opposite him, and slapped him with an insincere sycophant: "Grandpa is really clever, there is no smarter person in this world than grandpa." ”

"You girl, you're a good mouth." The old man accepted my flattery half-truthfully, and looked at me with a smile, "Say, if you have any questions, ask them!" ”

"Grandpa, did you know the poison in Yun Zheng's body early on?" I got straight to the point and stared at his eyes tightly, "Are you hiding something from Yun Zheng?" ”

The old man was stunned, his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration when he looked at me, and then he laughed and said, "You actually asked me this?" I thought you were here to ask me about something far away. ”

"I'll ask about that too, but Yun Zheng's matter is more important." I feel a little unhappy in my heart, the old man can't be trying to test me, right? He is also aware of the matter between me and An Yuanxi, and if he is brought back to the Hou Mansion at this time, are you afraid that I will be entangled with him?

The old man glanced at me meaningfully: "Girl, since you asked me like this, I'm afraid you already know very well about the poison in Zheng'er's body, right?" ”

"Why should Grandpa prevaricate me." I looked at him quietly and said lightly, "We are a family after all, does grandpa still have to use the same tricks as outsiders to his family?" ”

My heart for Yun Zheng will only be more than yours, not less. Quietly conveying this message firmly with his eyes, the old man slowly touched the beard on his chin, and nodded slightly: "Yes, I have long known the poison in Zheng'er's body, it is the strange Gu 'worry-free Gu' in Southern Xinjiang." ”

"Did you ask Mr. Fu to hide it from Yun Zheng?" I continued to verify, and when I saw him bowing his head, I nodded slightly, proving that Yi Shenchen and my previous guesses were correct, and Mr. Fu was indeed doing what the old man told him, not with ill intentions. After clarifying this, my wariness of Mr. Fu can be regarded as letting go.

"Since Grandpa knows that Yun Zheng is a 'worry-free Gu' who can't be emotional, why did he let me marry Yun Zheng in the first place?" Even if Yun Zheng marries me, he may not necessarily fall in love with me, but with Yun Zheng's surname, he will definitely treat me well, at least treat me as a friend, which will aggravate Yun Zheng's condition, even if the old man takes a fancy to me a little business tricks and some novel ideas, and wants me to help him, there can be other ways, such as spending a lot of money to ask me to be a staff member or something, why do you have to risk letting Yun Zheng marry me into the door?

"I knew I wouldn't be able to hide it from you in the end." The old man had an inexplicable smile on his face, but his eyes showed a bit of triumph, and he looked at me fixedly for a long time, and then said, "Until now, I won't hide it from you." I asked Zheng'er to marry you because Zheng'er can only marry you. ”

I frowned, puzzled. The old man smiled: "Since you know that Zheng'er is the 'Worry-free Gu', how to solve the Gu, you must also know, right?" ”

I nodded. The old man looked at me and said slowly: "Since you know that you can't be emotional if you fall into the 'Worry-Free Gu', you should also know that the 'Worry-Free Gu' will damage the physiology of the Gu person, so that they can't have children." ”

"Does the old man suspect that the child in my belly is not Yun Zheng?" I was a little angry in my heart, and I was not polite to call him again. Who knew that the old man didn't think it was angry at all, but smiled: "Wrong, this child must be Zheng'er's, and only you can conceive Zheng'er's child." ”

I frowned, more and more puzzled, but I vaguely knew in my heart that the messy threads I couldn't figure out a few days ago seemed to be about to be connected, and the truth was about to surface: "Why can I only conceive Yun Zheng's child?" ”

The old man glanced at me, stretched out his hand and pointed at my neck, and said slowly: "Because you have this piece of Panlong Moyu." ”

My eyes widened, and the old man ignored my stunned expression, and continued: "According to ancient books, Panlong Moyu was made by the ancient heavens and men from obsidian spar refined by earth and fire, and it is a treasure of the immortal family, which is extremely evil spirit-warding. Back then, for the sake of the Gu poison in Zheng'er, I used some means to force the Gu King of Miao Jiang to say the method of solving the Gu, and the Gu King said that since the Gu caster is dead, another way to solve the Gu, let the Gu Zizi take the Zihe Che that crystallizes the love conceived with his beloved, is just a legend. Because it is impossible for a person who has fallen into the 'Worry-Free Gu' to give birth to a child, unless the lover of the person who has fallen into the Gu has an artifact to ward off evil spirits. Over the years, the old man has asked people to investigate a lot of information about the artifact of warding off evil spirits, and Panlong Moyu is the treasure of the immortal family to ward off evil spirits, but everything is limited to the records of ancient books and folk legends, no one has ever known whether there is really Panlong Moyu in this world, until last year I met you on the official road back to Cangdu, girl, I saw at a glance that the black jade on your neck was too similar to the Panlong Moyu recorded in ancient books, so I fell in love with you......"

I listened dumbfounded, and I was so shocked. It turned out that the black dragon jade that Stygian Flame gave me was called "Panlong Moyu", and I only know its name now. Said that it can ward off evil spirits, I am still convinced, after all, this jade is indeed a fairy thing, and I have seen its ability many times, it helps me breathe in the water, it warns the jade pillow with radiation, all of which show its evil spirit-ward function. Is this black dragon jade made of obsidian? I only know that obsidian is a non-pure crystalline natural glass formed after the rapid cooling of volcanic karst rocks, and it is as pure as jade like black dragon jade, I am afraid that it is one in ten thousand. Legend has it that obsidian is extremely evil spirits, can strongly dissolve negative energy, placed in a place where the evil qi is heavier, can ward off evil spirits, made into a Buddha statue, the effect is even better, many ancient Buddhist cultural relics in my time and space, there are obsidian holy relics or Buddha statues used for town houses or evil spirits. If the material of the black dragon jade is really taken from obsidian, and it has been carved by the immortals, it has become a treasure in the mouth of the old man to ward off evil spirits, which is also reasonable.

"It turns out that this is the real reason why you want me to marry Yun Zheng in every possible way?" I muttered, wanting to laugh, but I didn't. It turned out that it was because of this piece of black dragon jade, I thought that my Ye Haihua was really "witty and intelligent, wise and blue-hearted", so that the well-informed Yongle Hou was also full of praise, and asked his grandson to be a daughter-in-law, it turned out that the real reason was here. If another person had this piece of black dragon jade, Yongle Hou would never put his mind on me, and to be honest, this perception really hurt my self-esteem as a modern person.

"Girl, you don't think that grandpa has put so much thought into you, just trying to take advantage of you, right?" The old man's words are purely looking for a draw, and there are no three hundred taels of silver here! I raised my eyes to look at him and said lightly: "If it's for Yun Zheng, I'm not afraid of being used, I'm just afraid that there is no value in being used." ”

The old man was shocked and looked at me thoughtfully. The corners of my lips lifted slightly, I don't mind being used and playing around as an idiot, it's just that if all this is for Yun Zheng, I am willing to be used, because I am willing to give everything for Yun Zheng.
