Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 87 Skillful Temptation
"Father, this is the classmate I have always mentioned to you!"
"See Lord Yan in Xia Xuan Shaoning!"
Xuan Shaoning was dressed in plain clothes and bowed down to show respect to the elders with a scholarly salute, Yan Di replied with a flat salute, and a false support signaled to sit down, and after lifting the robe and kneeling and sitting, Xuan Shaoning officially looked at this Jing Zhaoyin: about forty years old, the hair bun was combed to the back of the head and fixed with a cyan headband, and there was no trace of silver in the black hair; The heavenly court is full, the cheekbones are slightly high, the face is regular, the complexion is pale, and the beard is two-handed, when sitting upright, it has its own majesty but does not make people feel cramped, and the slightly floating smiling face makes people feel close.
Yan Di met in the guest room, also dressed in casual clothes, no brocade clothes at all, and this guest room is actually a tea room, bamboo mats cover the whole house, a three-person long low table is placed on it, three spherical wind lamps are hung under the roof beams, there are stone walls in front and back and left and right, Xuan Shaoning's left side hangs a white gauze curtain, and the right side is a round arch, through the arch, the green bamboo in the courtyard is clear at a glance.
"Father, Shao Ning really won the Zhaowu Captain with his military exploits, he is the most outstanding among the children's classmates!" Yan Keran did not hesitate to praise his brother, Xuan Shaoning just wanted to be humble but heard Yan Di say: "How can you still talk about these things?" The old man had heard about the deeds of the virtuous nephew as early as when he recovered Yinzhou, so young but he could have the courage and strategy far better than others, and he really lived up to the reputation of Qingshan Academy! Yan Di glanced at his son, "Of course, except for you."
"Lord Yan......."
"Call it uncle, be so close."
"Yes, Uncle Yan praised it falsely. Speaking of which, the time spent in the capital is not short, and now I have come to visit my uncle and I hope my uncle will forgive me! Xuan Shaoning took the initiative to apologize, one is indeed as he said, on the other hand, since he met Yan Keran in Qingxuanmen, he was thinking about what kind of meeting gift to buy, but Yan Keran resolutely refused, and he was stunned to visit empty-handed.
"You don't need to bring a courtesy, but your father personally ordered it, so you don't have to mind at all." Yan Keran bumped his classmate with his elbow, "You are a good gift!" After saying that, he smiled, but Xuan Shaoning didn't think he was telling the truth anyway.
"Patronizing and talking, and not pouring tea for the virtuous nephew, it's really getting more and more uneducated!" Yan Di feigned anger and reminded Yan Keran, turned to Xuan Shaoning, and returned to the appearance of a kind elder. "The three armies have won a big victory, but the capital has never allowed troops to be garrisoned, and now the generals who are still in the capital are all generals above the fifth grade, His Royal Highness King Yu can keep you by his side, which shows the importance he attaches to you."
"If it is according to what my uncle said, then I am quite ashamed to be born later!" Xuan Shaoning drank a cup of tea to relieve the embarrassment of being speechless.
Yan Dihun didn't care, and continued: "The virtuous nephew is too humble, come and taste the refreshments, this is the craftsmanship of the chef in my mansion, and I don't know if it is in line with the taste of the virtuous nephew." Yan Di sandwiched a piece of tea into Xuan Shaoning's plate, which not only did not ease but aggravated his restraint.
"How is the virtuous nephew Nianfang?"
"Back to my uncle, in another year, I will be the year of dancing elephants in my later life."
"Speaking of which, he is the same generation as Ke Ran, this rebel son told the old man a few days ago that he has a favorite person, I don't know if the virtuous nephew can be like a dog?"
Xuan Shaoning didn't expect Yan Di to ask this question at all, and replied without thinking: "I have been in the army for a long time, and I have never thought about it", he didn't see Yan Keran's relieved appearance at this moment.
"Such a man is the object of admiration of women all over the world, to tell the truth, this time it is actually the selfishness of the old man to invite Ke Ran to invite the virtuous nephew to come," Yan Di paused, and continued after observing Xuan Shaoning's reaction, "The virtuous nephew has already gained a lot of reputation in the capital after two wars, and many high-ranking officials and nobles want to make friends with him, but they have no way, and I don't know who inquired about the virtuous nephew and the dog are classmates, so those people came to the door to ask the old man to help pull the line, and asked the virtuous nephew to be strange!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare! Uncle, you are serious, how can you get some noble eyes? ”
"It's not all families with school-age daughters in the family, with the courage and strategy of virtuous nephews, with the support of His Royal Highness King Yu, the future is limitless, how not to make these eunuch families excited? The old man didn't dare to agree rashly, so he asked if the virtuous nephew had a favorite person, but I don't know if the virtuous nephew could have intentions? ”
"Thank you uncle for your kindness, I don't want to think about this child for the time being, and besides, I will return to the Mobei military camp in the future, so I naturally don't dare to delay the daughter of a good family." Xuan Shaoning had been dealing with it carefully, but at this moment, he refused neatly.
Yan Di was still smiling, and his face did not change in the middle: "Fame but take it right away!" A good man should have such long-term ambitions, and the old man appreciates you even more! Although Yan Di said to Xuan Shaoning, his eyes were focused on Yan Keran beside him, but it was a pity that the latter looked at Xuan Shaoning with some worry.
"No matter what, I am very grateful to my uncle for his kindness! When you are late, you will toast your uncle with tea instead of wine! ”
"Hahaha, okay, but don't worry, nephew, you have to stay and taste the brown rice in my house no matter what!"
The sentence "brown rice" provoked everyone present to laugh, and cleverly ended all the previous words. Although it is said to be a "brown rice", in fact, the dinner party in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion is definitely second only to the celebration ceremony that Xuan Shaoning has seen in his life, and Xuan Shaoning met Mrs. Yan at the dinner, and the people at the table chatted a lot, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than when he was in the tea room in the afternoon. After the dinner, Xuan Shaoning resolutely refused Yan Keran's request to send off guests, and slowly walked back to Yuwang's Mansion by himself.
Along the way, he was always recalling Yan Di's question, "Do I really have no one I like at all?" When Yan Di asked that question, there were clearly two faces in his mind, one was plain white and noble, like a cold plum in a cold day; A goose is yellow and bright, if the Guizi in the colorful autumn day, one is far away in the sky, the other is deep in the forbidden palace, and he is only a military general of the sixth grade, whether it is the daughter of the medicine king family or the princess of the Liang royal family, he is not worthy.
"I must climb higher!" Xuan Shaoning gritted his teeth and swore fiercely in his heart.
"For my father, I also wiped my son to help you this time." Yan Difuzi was in the study, "You are the son of Jing Zhaoyin, the captain of the Imperial Forest Guard, and the princess is Gao Pan, he is only a Zhaowu captain and has no family background, the princess and him are fundamentally different from each other, for the father, you should study hard and spend more time on improving yourself." If there's one thing between the two of you that he's better than you, it's his ambition! Ke Ran, you are the only son of my Yan family, you love the princess, and your father will naturally help you, but the more important thing is yourself! ”
Yan Keran nodded, he naturally agreed with what his father said, but when he recalled Princess Yunxuan's eager eyes when she mentioned Li Xuan Shaoning, sour water faintly appeared in her heart, and she didn't understand how it could be like this, obviously it was the first time she was face to face with the princess, could it be that this was love at first sight?
Also facing emotional problems is the hottest King Yu of Fang Jin, who entered the palace today and met the saint who had already agreed to the marriage with Princess Xia Tang, King Yu was expressionless and agreed, but he remembered that Emperor Liang was overjoyed, and praised King Yu vigorously, but what was praised, King Yu couldn't remember, he was immersed in his dilemma.
