Yang Boqing returned home and first went to his mother's room to meet the elders.

At this time, Ji Qing was also in her mother's room to report the day's homework, and when she saw her brother coming in, she was about to leave.

Since Dong'er's accident, the two brothers have not spoken to each other, Boqing knows that his younger brother resents him in his heart, and always tries to avoid him, he doesn't mind, but often pretends not to see his younger brother with Tian Geng, and doesn't meet and talk to him.

Yang's mother was very anxious about the current situation of discord between her two sons and brothers, and repeatedly urged Yang Boqing to take out the posture of everyone to enlighten or reprimand the unscrupulous younger brother who was heavy on sex and light on friends, but Yang Boqing always refused disapprovingly: "Mother don't be in a hurry, give the fourth brother a little more time, as long as the time is long enough, he will definitely forget." Time is a useful medicine, and the key is to be patient. ”

Today is different, he saw that Ji Qing was going to avoid him again, so he stopped him: "Fourth brother, stay here, I have something to tell you in front of my mother today." ”

Ji Qing had to stop his steps and walked back to the seat he was sitting in just now, his face was expressionless, not sad or happy, he sat there like a puppeteer, waiting for his brother to finish his words before pulling his legs and leaving.

Yang Boqing sat down and looked at his mother, but the words were for Ji Qing: "Mother, my uncle went bankrupt and bought an extremely heavy gift, bribing Yan Ge Lao's wife, which can be described as a dangerous move, but fortunately, this trick worked, Yan Ge Lao not only did not pursue his uncle's unintentional mistakes, but also promoted his uncle. My uncle's family is very strapped for money right now, so if my uncle has any requests for money, we will try our best to help them, okay? ”

Mother Yang had no reason not to agree, so she quickly nodded in agreement.

Boqing then said very seriously: "The marriage between Sister Feng and the fourth brother can not be delayed any longer, mother can quickly choose a good day for them, and strive to marry Sister Feng before the end of this year, I will prepare the dowry of my cousin, on the surface, my uncle will buy a dowry for my daughter, and secretly we will pay this dowry, don't let my uncle be embarrassed by money, and don't let my cousin lose face." ”

He turned to Yang Jiqing and confirmed again: "Fourth brother, what is your opinion on my brother's arrangement of your marriage like this?" ”

Yang Jiqing said lukewarmly: "What if I have an opinion, it's not my brother who has the final say." ”

Yang Boqing didn't care about his brother's yin and yang weirdness, he saw that his brother's heart was like ashes, like dead wood, so he said to Yang's mother with ulterior motives: "Mother, I went to Li Mingshuo's house today to give a congratulatory gift to his old lady, mother guess who I saw?" ”

Mother Yang didn't have Wan Dong'er in her heart for a long time, so she asked without guessing, "Who did you see?" ”

"Wan-Dong-er." Yang Boqing was afraid that his younger brother would not hear clearly, so he deliberately said it word by word, and at the same time looked at his younger brother with his eyes.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Jiqing heard this name, he immediately reacted, he raised his head, stared at his brother, and looked at his brother intently.

Mother Yang also noticed the change in her youngest son's expression, pretended not to see it, ignored him, and asked, "Didn't you say that the girl had been hidden and raised by Li Yuma?" Why did you still appear in his house? ”

"Mother, I was also puzzled at first, the first time I saw her, she was standing beside Mrs. Li, Princess Ning'an was farther away than her, Li Mingshuo and Li Chongjun brothers were standing around her, compared with Princess Ning'an, she was more like the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Later, the banquet was held, I secretly asked Li Mingshuo, how did he disclose Wan Dong'er's identity, this kid said that this girl is pregnant, and the princess is about to be a mother-in-law. ”

Mother Yang asked her youngest son vigilantly: "Ji Qing, Dong'er, this little girl has only been pregnant with Li Mingshuo for two months, are you sure that the child in her belly is not yours?" ”

Yang Jiqing said with a gloomy face: "I hope this child is mine, so that there will always be a relationship between me and her." ”

"Mother, you see what I said is right, our Ji Qing is really a righteous gentleman, Yanagi Hui, a good person who does not sit still." Yang Boqing was full of smiles, and he looked proud of his younger brother, as if his younger brother was his biological son.

Mother Yang didn't think this was something to be proud of, and said regretfully: "I still expect the princess to raise my grandson with her own hands, and this child will recognize me as a grandmother when he grows up." ”

Yang Boqing said with a smile: "Mother, have you read too much of the book, what are you thinking about in your head, we don't want to take advantage of others." ”

He said to Yang Jiqing seriously: "Fourth brother, I think that girl from Dong'er is better with Li Mingshuo than with you, Princess Ning'an is gentle and kind, and can tolerate her around Li Mingshuo, Sister Fengyi is so strong by nature, she may not be able to tolerate Dong'er by your side, not to mention that you have a weak personality, don't say Dong'er, even you may not be able to suppress Fengyi." Now, Dong'er can be regarded as a safe place, and in the future, you will wish each other well, okay? ”

Yang Jiqing was noncommittal, just stood up and said, "If my brother doesn't have anything else, my brother will leave." ”

Fourth brother don't worry, the last thing, I chatted with all the colleagues present at the Li family banquet today, sure enough, it was three days of Shibei, when I was impressed, then Li Mingshuo was usually a demon king of the world, I didn't see him for a few days, and I was familiar with a few books of war and I talked about the border war with people who had passed the imperial examination, quite insightful, I watched it as a result, it seems that he has the ambition to inherit the great cause of his father Li Zongbing, and he also worshiped a martial arts master as a teacher, and went to practice swordsmanship, stick skills and fist and foot kung fu with the master every day, and he was a single-minded upward, a good man who is determined to forge ahead, is not like that Li Chongjun, who is still full of obscene words and songs, and shamelessly shows off his many wives and concubines, and the foolish brother thinks that a big man must have his own ambitions, his own career, be loyal to the country, ask for his life for the people, and indulge in the love of concubines and concubines all day long, and the love of children is long, which is really a shame for men. The fourth brother of Wanwang focuses on his academic career, don't learn from Li Chongjun, he only has women in his eyes, and he makes people laugh behind his back without knowing it. ”

"My brother's words are all in my heart." Yang Jiqing was still expressionless.

Boqing walked to his brother's side, put his hand on his shoulder, looked at him intently, and said seriously: "Ji Qing, we were originally four brothers, but now there are only you and I left, and I am much older than you, my expectations for you are no less than all the expectations of a father for his son, even if you give up on yourself, I will not give up on you, I know that you have a pure temperament, it is difficult to cross the hurdle of Wan Dong'er, but my brother believes that you will grow up, you will become stronger, you will cross this heart barrier, you will become a good man, Become a good son and grandson of the Yang family, promise your brother, forget her, and cheer up. ”

Yang Jiqing looked at his brother, looking at this brother who existed like a father in his life, he didn't know who to complain to: why can't he be a good official like a good brother, why is it that when he walks out of this family, his brother will be a bad person who is in the same league as traitors, why will his brother sacrifice the other party without hesitation when treating a person who is not related to him by blood, why?

Yang Jiqing was silent for a long time, and finally replied dispensably: "I'll try my best." ”

In the ear room in the back garden of the Yang family, the blind Uncle Liu was sitting in the house wiping the equipment for pruning flowers and plants, and when he heard someone walk into his room, he turned around, and a pair of godless eyes looked at the direction of the person as if he could see the other party, he could hear that it was the footsteps of the fourth son, Yang Jiqing, and hurriedly asked: "Little boy, is it really you?" ”

Yang Jiqing held a small box, staggered into the ear room, walked to Uncle Liu's side, and put the box on Uncle Liu's table.

Uncle Liu touched the box and asked, "Little boy, what are the things in here?"

Ji Qing opened the box, knowing that Uncle Liu couldn't see it, he still moved it to him and said to him: "Uncle Liu, this box is full of some relics of Dong'er, I will get married in a few months, my mother said that the bride will be unhappy to see these things, so I will leave her things here with you, if I miss her in the future, I will come to your place to see her relics, okay?" ”

Tears rolled out of Uncle Liu's empty eyes, and he nodded again and again and said: "Okay, good, I am already very happy if the little boy doesn't dislike me for being crowded and dirty here, you can rest assured, as long as it is the relic of Miss Dong'er, I will take good care of it for you." ”

"Uncle Liu, do you want to miss the girl you healed with your own hands?"

Uncle Liu's voice was stunned, and he replied sadly: "Then the child who knows how to repay the kindness, how can I not want to, the quilt and mattress on my current bed are all made by that girl with new cotton, and the clothes and shoes that the old man is wearing now are also made for me by that girl---"

"When she was alive, she always said that I healed her feet, and she has the virtue of regeneration, she will do everything she can to repay me, who knows that God will be so short-sighted, actually took such a good child away, little boy, don't tell you, until today the old man refuses to believe that the child is dead, I always feel that she is not dead, she is still alive somewhere else, one day she can still walk into my little broken house, come to me and complain to me, little boy, you have done something wrong recently, said something wrong, made her unhappy. In the past, when the two of you had a little trouble, this girl would come to me and complain......"

Yang Jiqing smiled sadly, his eyes were already shining with tears, and he comforted this old man who couldn't see anything but seemed to know everything in an extremely gentle voice: "Uncle Liu, you must live well, be healthy and live peacefully, maybe you can really wait for the day she comes back, and wait for her to come back and tell you what I did wrong-------"

Uncle Liu thought that Yang Jiqing was joking, so he didn't respond, but just groped and closed the box brought by Ji Qing, moved it to his bedside, and placed it well.

Ji Qing looked at the box stupidly, as if trying to record it in his mind.
