Turning his head to look at Chen Bei who was walking through the corridor, the white beard on the side of the old man's mouth trembled, and his whole body trembled slightly.

[Grandpa, why does the tiger on the banner of the Eastern Army have wings?] People say that tigers have no wings......]

[That is called, also known as the name, which can go to heaven and earth, and is much more powerful than the tigers in the world!] ]

[Is there really such a powerful tiger in the world?] ]

[Hehe, that's the good will of the Holy Grandfather......]

[Holy Grandfather?] ]

[It is His Majesty the Founding Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the grandfather of the current Holy Grandfather...... Give me the banner of the Eastern Army, which means that I want the soldiers of the Eastern Army to be flying tigers, you see, the tiger is the king of beasts, and the tiger can fly, how powerful is this? ]

[When the grandchildren grow up in the future, they will also be flying tigers!] ]

[Hahahaha, this is natural, the boy of my Liangqiu family was born a tiger......]

[Grandpa, what's the red one on the flag?] ]

[Silly boy, that's fire, why don't you even recognize fire?] ]

[Is it a fire in the kitchen stove?] ]

[Hmm...... Yes, but with a different meaning...... The Holy Grandfather hopes that our Eastern Army will fight the enemy on the battlefield like a ruthless fire, and burn all the enemies of my Great Zhou to ashes and protect my Great Zhou! - In addition, my Liangqiu family has a special skill called, which is very similar to this fire......]

[Fog Flame?] Isn't it amazing? ]

[Of course, that's a stunt that only my Liangqiu family can perform!] ]

[Teach me to teach me, grandpa to teach me......]

[Hahaha, Hao'er, don't worry, you're only six years old this year, and when you reach the age of ten, grandpa will teach you ......]

[I want to learn, I want to learn, I want to learn......]

[Hmm...... So, when you have your seventh birthday, grandpa will teach you again, okay? ]

[Talking counts...... Hook! ]

[Okay, pull the hook, but, Hao'er, don't shout bitterness or tiredness when it's poured!] ]

[Hmm!] - The grandson will be even more powerful than the grandfather in the future! ]

[Oh?] - Grandpa is the first fierce general of the Great Zhou, known as it! - What's your name? ]

[That...... Then the grandson is called! ]

[Tiger of the Eastern Army?] Hahaha, good name, good name! - Hao'er, grow up quickly, grandpa is waiting to deliver the Eastern Army to you! ]

[Hmm!] ]

……

The old man's eyes were slightly red, don't look at the fish pond, when Chen Bei passed by the corridor behind him, he asked in a deep voice, "Young man, do you know how many brocade fish were in this pool?" ”

"......" At this time, Chen Bei was passing behind the old man along the corridor, and when he heard this, he frowned slightly, stopped, and looked at the back of the old man three feet away.

Glancing at the pool, and then at the familiar back of the old man, Chen Bei's eyes showed a little pain, he covered his forehead and shook his head, and stumbled towards the side door of the Donggong Mansion.

Listening to the footsteps that were gradually moving away, the old man turned his head and looked at the back of Chen Bei's departure, he raised his right hand hesitantly, as if he wanted to grab something, but in the end he gave up, and after a long sigh, he watched Chen Bei disappear to the other end of the garden.

Suddenly, the old man seemed to notice something, and his expression froze.

At the same time, Xie Anzheng, Liao Li, and Ma Dan followed Chen Bei and walked along the corridor and collided with the old man's gaze.

Who is this old man?

To be honest, when he saw this old man for the first time, Xie Anxin was a little stunned.

You know, he has been living and eating in Donggong Mansion for almost a year, and he knows the miscellaneous servants, housekeepers, maids, and maids up and down in his abdomen.

This old man can, doesn't it count to walk into the Donggong Mansion in a big way, and stand here blatantly to enjoy the fish?

Yes?

Wait, this old man's dress......

Purple robe, red belt, gold edge, silver thread......

Could it be that this old man...... No, this old man is Wu's grandfather, Liang Qiugong?

At that moment, Xie An felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was a little overwhelmed and froze far away.

Xie An guessed well, this old man is the first fierce general of the Great Zhou Dynasty thirty years ago, known as the Tiger of Hanoi, Liang Qiu Boxuan, who went to the ancestral tomb of the Liangqiu family in Hanoi a year ago, and returned to Jijing today.

Seeing that Xie An was still at a loss, and in a blink of an eye, he was a little shocked, with a respectful attitude, Liang Qiugong was slightly surprised, and said secretly, this kid is also clever......

Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Come here, boy, the old man has something to ask you!" ”

"Yes......" In view of the identity of this old man, Xie An dared not obey, trotted along the corridor, followed the path in the garden, and came to Liang Qiugong's side, seeing Liao Li and Ma Dan looking at each other, I don't know why, and also followed Xie An.

Seeing this, Liang Qiugong frowned slightly, and said lightly, "Boy, this second general, could it be your guard general?" ”

What kind of person Xie An is, although he is not as smart as the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but he is also a shrewd person, he suddenly understood when he heard the words, and hurriedly said to Liao Li and Ma Dan, "Liao Li, Ma Dan, the old lady has something to say to the official, you two should step down for the time being!" ”

Old gentleman?

Liao Li and Ma Dan were stunned, looking at Liang Qiugong in confusion, after all, as far as they knew, Xie An didn't have any relatives, why did an old lady suddenly appear now?

Suddenly, the two of them seemed to think of something, their faces were shocked, and they immediately bowed to the ground on one knee, and said respectfully, "The last general is clumsy, and he doesn't know the face of Duke Liangqiu!" ”

You must know that Liang Qiu Gong is the most authoritative representative of the Great Zhou military, and he is a big man that Liao Li, Ma Dan and other generals want to see in the evening, and now that they see it with their own eyes, it is no wonder that the two of them are full of excitement.

"......" Hearing what Xie An said, Liang Qiugong glanced at him meaningfully, then nodded, and said calmly, "The two generals are polite, the old man has some housework to discuss with you adults, and the two of you will avoid retreating for the time being!" ”

"No!" Holding back the excitement in his heart, the second general hugged his fists, got up and left, and went to the side gate of the Donggong Mansion to wait for Xie An.

Looking at the back of the second general who was far away, and then glancing at Liang Qiugong, who was silent, Xie Anxin was a little weak-hearted.

You must know that in the Great Zhou, all the marriages of children and grandchildren are carried out by the elders of his family, Zhang Luo, or how to talk about the orders of the parents and the appointment of the matchmaker, but the marriage between Liangqiu Dance and Xie An seems a little abrupt, it feels as if Xie An has abducted someone else's granddaughter without permission, and what is even more embarrassing is that before they have officially worshiped heaven and earth, Xie An and Liang Qiu Dance have already rounded up, although it is because of a misunderstanding, but after all, this is an unspeakable thing, especially in the Great Zhou, where the feudal dogma is quite strict.

It's not good, it's not good......

The old man didn't speak......

It's not thinking about what to do with yourself, is it?

Looking at Liang Qiugong's back, Xie An only felt that his heart was beating faster and faster as he got older, like a rapid drum.

Just as cold sweat broke out on Xie An's forehead, Liang Qiugong opened his mouth.

"Your name is Xie An, right?"

"Yes......"

"Now I hold the position of Shaoqing in the Great Prison Temple......"

"Yes......" Nodding respectfully, Xie An raised his head and looked at Liang Qiugong in surprise.

Strange, how did this old man know about himself?

And looking at his expression, he seems to know a lot......

I don't know if I saw through Xie An's thoughts, Liang Qiugong glanced at Xie An, and said lightly, "Are you thinking, the old man only returned to Jijing today, how do you know your identity, right?" ”

"Uh...... Be! ”

"Humph!" With a light snort, Liang Qiugong said lightly, "Do you think that when the old man left Jijing, he didn't know what happened in Jijing?" ”

Xie An was stunned, and then suddenly realized.

Also, this old man is the real master of the Donggong Mansion, and he is the object of allegiance of Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, Luo Chao and other soldiers of the Eastern Army.

I don't know if I saw through Xie An's thoughts, Liang Qiugong said lightly, "Don't speculate, your business is that Wu'er personally wrote a letter to inform the old man ......" As he said, he glanced at Xie An, who was restless, and said coldly, "At that time, the old man wished that he was in Jijing at that time, so that he could skin you and cramp!" ――As the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, you should know that even if the old man kills you, it will not be considered a violation of the criminal law of the Great Zhou! ”

Looking at Liang Qiugong's blowing beard and glaring, with an angry face, Xie An shrank his head with a look of resignation.

In fact, as Liang Qiugong said, in the Great Zhou, if a man has a relationship with a woman to be married who has not left the cabinet, the elders of the woman's family have the right to ask the man for the crime, more seriously, and even kill the man is not an exaggeration.

Some people may think, doesn't the Great Zhou Criminal Law care about this kind of thing?

In fact, even if it is the criminal law of the Great Zhou, it has no right to interfere in the family affairs of this kind of family, let alone the top wealthy family in the Great Zhou such as the Liangqiu family of the Donggong Mansion.

Looking at Xie An's posture, Liang Qiugong asked in a deep voice, "Boy, do you have anything to say about this?" ”

With his understanding of Liang Qiu Dance, Xie An also roughly deduced Liang Qiu Gong's character, and when he heard this, he lowered his head and said, "The kid has nothing to say about this......

"Oh?" Seeing that Xie An didn't quibble, Liang Qiugong was slightly surprised, frowned and said, "Do you think that the old man doesn't dare to kill you?" ”

Xie An hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Yes!" - If the old lady kills the kid, according to the temperament of the dance, she will not remarry, so the Liangqiu family will really break the bloodline......"

Liang Qiugong's eyes narrowed when he heard this, he looked at Xie An deeply, then frowned, and said slowly, "You are right, the old man really doesn't dare to kill you...... The old man doesn't understand, since you can figure out this layer of stakes, why are you still so afraid in front of the old man? ”

"This ......" Xie An showed a little embarrassment on his face and looked secretly

glanced at Liang Qiugong, and whispered, "The old lady is the first fierce general of the Great Zhou, and the tiger is too powerful, how can the kid bear it?" ”

"......" Liang Qiu Gong looked at Xie An in a daze when he heard this, suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Interesting, interesting!" - As Mai'er said, he's a funny boy! As he spoke, he looked at Xie An and said with a chuckle, "Don't worry, if it was a few months ago, the old man would have wanted to skin you and cramp, but in the past few months, Wu'er has said a lot of good things for you in the letter...... Besides, now that the two of you have made a boat and rice has been cooked, what can you do even if the old man refuses to allow it? ”

"What do you mean, old lady, that you promised?" Xie An asked cautiously.

Liang Qiu Gong smiled faintly when he heard this, and said, "The old man responded to this matter in his reply to Wu'er's letter a few months ago, didn't she tell you?" ”

"Yay?" Xie An was stunned, recalled, and said hesitantly, "Wu only said that he wanted to get married, and he didn't say anything else...... Speaking of this, he suddenly realized.

Also, according to Liang Qiuwu's temperament, if he hadn't consulted Liang Qiugong, the only elder in the family, how would he dare to tie the knot with Xie An in private?

At this time, Liang Qiugong asked again, "How are the preparations for the wedding?" ”

"Marriage...... Wedding? What wedding? ”

Liang Qiu Gong frowned slightly when he heard this, and said with a little displeasure, "At that time, Wu'er said in a letter to the old man that the preparations for the wedding were too hasty, so it was postponed for a ......few days," he said, he glanced around intentionally or unintentionally, and said to Xie An, "The old man just wanted to ask, why didn't the mansion see the slightest clue?" ”

Seeing that Liang Qiugong's eyes were getting worse and worse, Xie Anxin knew that the old man had misunderstood, so he told Liang Qiugong everything about the original purpose of hiding people's eyes.

"I see," Liang Qiu nodded with relief when he heard this, and said, "You were afraid that the prince might guess that the person who attacked him was you, so you postponed the marriage between the two of you, right?" ”

"Yes!" Xie An nodded.

Seeing this, Liang Qiugong glanced at Xie An and said lightly, "But as far as the old man knows, you and the prince are now like fire and water, so there is still a need to postpone the marriage?" ”

"Huh?" Xie An was stunned, opened his mouth and couldn't speak.

Looking at Xie An's stunned appearance, Liang Qiugong didn't understand, shook his head and said, "Big things are alert, small things are confused!" - It's better than being confused...... In this way, from tomorrow, the government will begin to prepare for the marriage of the two of you, choose an auspicious day, and the two of you will get married first. ――Do you have anything to say? ”

"No, everything is up to the old lady...... Xie An said respectfully, feeling relieved, although he knew that Liang Qiu Gong was sparing him for the sake of his granddaughter Liang Qiu Wu's face.

Seeing that Xie An was so deferential to him, Liang Qiugong nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly, he let out a long breath and said in a complicated tone, "Boy, since you are about to become the old man's son-in-law, there are some things that the old man wants to explain to you...... How much do you know about my Liangqiu family? ”

Xie An was stunned when he heard this, smiled, and said with some embarrassment, "If the old lady is referring to that incident...... Wu and the boy have already discussed, and when she gives birth to an heir in the future, if it is a man, he will succeed to the Liang Qiu family and continue the bloodline......" As he spoke, he looked up and secretly glanced at Liang Qiu Gong, but unexpectedly found that Liang Qiu Gong had an elusive and strange look on his face, and said carefully, "Old lady, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Huh? Oh......" For some reason, Liang Qiugong's expression was very strange, he nodded as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said in an inexplicable tone, "This matter...... This is not in a hurry, you two are still young, and there will be days in the future, so there is no need to ......rush for a while," he said, he paused, and asked hesitantly, "So far, how many times have you two had sex?" ”

"......" Seeing that Liang Qiugong actually asked such a ** question, Xie An was really embarrassed, but because of the identity of this old man, he couldn't hide it, and said truthfully, "That...... More than 10 times ......"

"More than ten times ......" Under Xie An's surprised gaze, Liang Qiugong muttered to himself, and then, he seemed to notice Xie An's strange expression, coughed, and said in a deep voice, "What the old man means is that you two are still young, don't indulge too much in the affairs of men and women, take you as an example, in all fairness, the old man really doesn't like you, but the old man has to admit that you are also a talent, and you have not yet been weak to enter the court as an official, and serve as an important position such as the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, and the future is limitless...... Wu'er is still young, she has some words, you don't have to listen to everything, you are still young, if there are heirs to drag down, it will be unfavorable for the future! ”

This......

What's the situation?

Xie An looked at Liang Qiugong blankly, a little confused.

In his opinion, Liang Qiu Wu can be said to be afraid that he will not be able to leave a son and a half daughter for Xie An, and then pass on his son to Liang Qiu's family to continue the bloodline, but looking at the attitude of this old man, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry......

Thinking of this, Xie An cautiously said tentatively, "What does the old man mean is that Wu is still young at the moment, and having children is harmful to her body?" ”

Liang Qiugong was stunned, nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, yes, that's what the old man meant!" ”

"......" Xie An nodded with relief when he heard this, but he always felt that Liang Qiu had something to say, as if he was hiding something.

I don't know if I guessed that Xie Anzheng was guessing about this matter, Liang Qiugong suddenly coughed, changed the topic and said, "Then again, boy, that person just now...... Did you bring it in? ”

"That guy?" Xie An was stunned, glanced at Liang Qiu Gong for some reason, and then his face changed slightly, because he realized that Liang Qiu Gong was referring to Chen Bei.

Thinking that Chen Bei had asked him to conceal his whereabouts, especially not to reveal them to the people of the Liangqiu family, Xie An hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Back to the old lady, that person...... Uh, he'...... Oh, he is a friend of the boy, and he said that he had never seen the Donggong Mansion, so the boy dared to lead him in to have a look......"

Since Xie An lowered his head, he didn't notice a hint of strange color flashing in Liang Qiugong's eyes.

"Friends...... Is it? - Friend, take this person to the small shrine in the backyard of my Donggong Mansion? ”

"......" Xie An was speechless, as the husband of Liangqiu Wu, he naturally knew that the small ancestral hall in the bamboo forest in the backyard of Donggong Mansion was a forbidden area for people who were not from the Liangqiu family, in other words, in addition to the people of the Liangqiu family, only Xie An and Yiyi were qualified to enter and leave there.

What to do?

Thinking in his mind, Xie An was sweating coldly on his forehead, and he didn't dare to look at Liang Qiugong's face when he lowered his head.

"......" Looking at Xie An's expression, Liang Qiugong frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Tell the old man the truth, what is this person's name?" ”

Xie An was embarrassed in every way, on the one hand, the old lady's question, and on the other hand, the brother-in-law's advice, he was caught in the middle, so he was not uncomfortable, and after half a ring, he hesitated and said, "Chen ...... Boom ......"

So far, he can only hope that Liang Qiugong has not yet learned the specifics of this matter.

"How to write it?"

“…… Ear Dong Chen, the grass day is ......" Xie An's head pressed lower, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Oh!" Liang Qiu Gong nodded in relief, and muttered, "Is it called Chen Bei......" As he spoke, he glanced deeply at Xie An, who was like a great enemy, and said with a smile, "You have a good relationship with this person?" ”

"Uh...... Be! Xie An said stiffly.

"Okay, okay," Liang Qiu Gong showed a little smile on his face, patted Xie An on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "In the future, if you are free, ask your friend to come to my Liang Qiu's house to sit ......" As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the front yard.

"......" Xie An raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the back of Liang Qiugong with a little consternation, and while he was flattered, he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Could it be that this old man can see it?

Stupid!

Wu was because he was young at the time, so he didn't have an impression of the eldest brother, and this old man, who was the elder who raised the eldest brother, even if he hadn't seen him for more than ten years, how could he not recognize it?

Wait, so to speak......

Thinking of this, Xie An said tentatively, "Old lady, that friend of the kid, I'm afraid I won't come again in the future......"

As soon as the words fell, Liang Qiugong in the distance stopped, turned his head, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with him?" - Try to invite him to come to my Donggong Mansion as many times as possible! ”

Hearing this, Xie An didn't understand, and said secretly in his heart, sure enough, this old man has recognized it!

Thinking about this, Xie An was also relieved, and said with a smile as if tacitly, "Don't worry, old lady, the kid will do his best!" ”

Looking at the meaningful smile on Xie An's face, Liang Qiugong smiled slightly, looked at Xie An deeply, nodded and said, "Really smart......" As he spoke, he walked towards the main hall of the front yard.

Liang Qiugong left, Xie An breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and shook his head with a wry smile.

What is this called?

Looking at the old man's expression, he clearly recognized the eldest brother, but he was afraid that it would be too abrupt, so he didn't recognize him directly, most of the time he wanted to have a good relationship with the eldest brother with a step-by-step idea, the problem is, looking at the attitude of the eldest brother at that time, he no longer planned to return to Liangqiu's house......

What's even worse is that this matter has to be hidden from Wu, if Wu learns that her cousin Liang Qiuhao has mixed into Jijing, tsk, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Sighing and shaking his head, Xie An walked along the corridor to the small door next to the Donggong Mansion, after all, Liao Li and Ma Dan were still waiting for him here.

To Xie An's surprise, Chen Bei didn't leave, he was leaning on the outside of the wall of the Donggong Mansion with his arms crossed, thinking about something with a solemn face.

Seeing this, Xie An walked over and asked curiously, "Uncle, what do you want?" ”

I saw Chen Bei glance sideways at Xie An, let out a long breath, and said, "Forty-five...... Probably! ”

"What...... What the? Xie An looked puzzled and looked at Chen Bei in surprise.

"No, it's nothing," Chen Bei shook his head, his eyes showed a little melancholy, and said, "Brother, my brother is very irritable, accompany Brother Wei to the restaurant for a few drinks......"

Seeing that Chen Bei seemed to be in a bad mood, Xie An guessed a few points, and nodded when he heard this.

For a while, Xie An actually forgot that he had an agreement with Liang Qiuwu and the other three daughters, and wanted to accompany the three daughters to a gold shop in Jijing to look at jewelry......
