Chapter 13: Roots

For a whole day, Wang Yan stayed in the courtyard of Old Man Wang, and Dong pulled his hand, for fear of letting go of him and going out to make trouble.

Old Man Wang smiled silently on the side, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.

When Wang Yan returned to the courtyard, it was already a moon branch, and the faint candlelight flashed in the side room, which was extinguished as Wang Yan walked into the courtyard.

Standing in the distance for a long time, he did not step forward, but turned his eyes back to the three children who had been waiting for him for a long time in the courtyard.

The three of them had all been freshened up at this time, with childish looks on their faces, standing under the tree, very quiet and honest.

The girl has been taken away by Aunt Xing.

Wang Yan was planning to train a group of his own henchmen and protΓ©gΓ©s, and he also asked Aji to take him to a tooth store before, but he didn't find the one he liked after looking for a day, but he didn't expect to destroy a thief's den and bring back a few dolls!

"How old are you?" Wang Yan looked at the oldest boy standing on the far left and asked

"Master Hui, the youngest one is eight years old this year..."

"Where is your hometown?"

"Back to the young master, the little one... I don't know where my hometown is, and the little one has had no home since he can remember..."

Wang Yan's eyes flashed with a little pity, his answer was the same as he guessed, under careful questioning, they were all abducted when they were young, how can they remember their parents and relatives now? Obviously his parents may still be in the world, but they have become orphans.

"Do you remember your name?"

The young man shook his head blankly, Wang Yan turned to look at the others, and sure enough, they were all shaking their heads.

Wang Yan sighed, was silent for a long time, slowly raised his head, and said with a soft gaze.

"From today on, this courtyard is your home, I am your brother, my name is Wang Yan, you have to call me young master in front of people, and call me eldest brother in the future, don't call me young master and young master, it seems to be angry."

The three teenagers were stunned when they heard this, and their eyes widened, as if they had heard something incredible.

"My surname is Wang, you should also follow my surname Wang, you, from today onwards, you will be called Wang Er, you will be called Wang San, you will be called Wang Si" Wang Yan seriously named the three of them.

The children are already in tears, this is an authentic true feeling, Wang Yan can feel that when his worshipper pulled himself out of the sea of suffering, his mood was the same as theirs, maybe their feelings were more pure than his own.

"Now as your eldest brother, the first lesson I teach you is to be a man, stand up to the sky! You can bleed, but you can't cry at will! Wipe all the tears, and whoever cries casually in the future will go to the back to brush the toilet. ”

Two, three, and four stretched out their hands to dry the tears in the corners of their eyes, revealing a trace of warm laughter, and the sincere laughter of the children made Wang Yan very comfortable to listen to.

Wang Yan personally inspected the bodies of his three little brothers, the second and third were materials for martial arts, and the four bodies were weak and not suitable for martial arts.

After receiving the reward, Aggie returned to the courtyard.

Seeing the three children circling around Wang Yan, he said casually.

"It's not big, it's not small!"

"Aji, I'll take them as my brothers-in-law!"

Aggie's feet slipped, and a horse fell to the ground!

"Young Master! What do you say! ”

"As for all the fuss."

Aggie got up from the ground and pointed at the children, who didn't know what to say, with a tangled expression.

"Aggie." Wang Yan's gaze became deep.

"You and I grew up together, and in my eyes you are my own brother! Although you always call me as a young master, I have never regarded you as a subordinate, you are my brother! ”

"Young Master!" Aggie's throat choked with emotion.

"I don't want to live under my father's wing, I want to go on my own! Daddy can break out of this family business! It doesn't make sense that I can't be a son, Uncle Hao, Aunt Xing are all following my father all the way, I am about to take a step now, I need someone to go with me! ”

"Aggie! The road ahead may be difficult and dangerous, but you are willing to walk with me! ”

Aggie patted his chest and said.

"Young Master! Come in the water, go in the fire! The little ones are willing to accompany you to break through! ”

Wang Yan got up and walked in front of Aji, a bear hug is worth a thousand words.

"Okay, don't pee, I still have a big task to explain to you!"

After speaking, Wang Yan went back to the study and came out with a basket of drawings in his hand!

"Young Master! What is all this? ”

"Forging equipment! It's all three-dimensional diagrams, and if you ask a skilled craftsman to make them, you'll be able to make them! ”

Aggie took the drawing, looked at it several times, and finally carried it behind him.

"By the way, I'll invite another teacher!"

"Young master, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult?"

"Why?" Wang Yan froze when he heard this.

"Young master, you are already notorious in the teaching world, you say that Mr. Teach in Yuanyang County, no one in the whole Xinzhou dares to teach you, teaching you to read is a matter of smashing signboards."

"When did I say I was invited to teach me to read?" Wang Yan gritted his teeth and said.

"And who are you going to teach?" Aji's gaze turned to the second, third, and fourth sons. "Young Master, are you going to ask Mr. to teach them to read?"

"You're not stupid yet."

"Young Master, can you use it?" Aji said with a tugging face.

"Why don't you need it? If you want to go to a high place, you naturally have to have supporting hardware, and my knowledge will stop here, young master, so this short board can only be filled by you! Don't look at me, you have to follow along! ”

"Young master, it's better to kill me if you let me study!" Aji said with a bitter face.

Wang Yan walked up to him and patted his number one subordinate on the shoulder.

"You are my right-hand man in the future, how can you not have something in your stomach, listen to the young master! There are many rewards for learning well! The words were affectionate, but Aggie may have only heard the last four words!

"It's getting late, let them sleep in the room next to you." As he spoke, Wang Yan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.

"I asked Uncle Hao for this medicine, and it has a miraculous effect on wound healing."

Aji took the porcelain vase, his heart warmed, beckoned the three people standing not far away, and led them out of the backyard.

Closing the courtyard door, Wang Yan walked to the side room, although the candlelight had been extinguished inside, Wang Yan was sure that she was not asleep.

I tried to push the door, but it was really a cover-up.

It was pitch black inside, and the moonlight shone through the window paper onto the bed.

Liu Yan'er sat on the bed, crossed her legs, heard the sound, and cast her eyes.

Liu Yan'er's face was pale and haggard.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

Liu Yan'er raised her head slowly, and there was a trace of grievance in her eyes.

"The hosta is broken."

He spoke softly.

Hosta? Wang Yan's gaze turned to her outstretched palm.

It turned out to be the jade hairpin she gave her a few days ago.

Wang Yan wanted to say that it would be broken if it was broken, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

Looking at her like this, there must be other meanings here, but I can't remember this meaning for a while, so I can only stay in place and be silent.

These performances changed in Liu Yan'er's eyes, and she lowered her head and stopped looking at him.

Wang Yan wanted to coax her, but she didn't know what to say, and the already incomprehensible relationship became more complicated because of Liang Shan.

stood for a long time, and finally quietly left.

Out of the side room, looking up at the starry sky, what Wang Yan likes most in this world is the starry sky at night.

Passed everything silently to the stars, hoping to get some answers.

Without Liu Yan'er to sleep, Wang Yan felt a little lonely.

As soon as dawn the next day, Wang Yan ran out of the bedroom, and he had to ask Aji about the hairpin ceremony.

"Where's Aggie?"

When I walked outside Aji's room, I found the second, third, and fourth children cleaning the yard in a decent manner.

"Young master, Brother Aji left before dawn, saying that he invited a craftsman for you!"

It's really his style.

A large part of Liu Yan'er's haggard is because she has not eaten and made a fuss, at this time it is the point where the palace is preparing breakfast, Wang Yan planned to go to the kitchen to give her some food, but she met an acquaintance at the kitchen door.

Wang Yan watched quietly behind Aji finish the snack in his hand, and then unceremoniously gave him a kick in the ass!

"Oops! Who kicked me! See if I don't let the young master toss you to death! Ah! Young Master! How did you get here! ”

Wang Yandu admired the speed of Aji's change of face, from annoyance to humility, he only took 0.01 seconds!

"Didn't you go to the city to hire a craftsman?" Wang Yan said with a dark face.

I was relieved to praise him in my heart just now, I should have thought that he was such a good person.

"Hehe, how dare I leave your side casually, I have ordered such a trivial matter! Where do skilled craftsmen need to go outside to find them, the most powerful ones are in our mansion, young master, I didn't fool you, didn't I just come back from those ancestors? ”

"There are still such talents in our house?"

"Young Master! This is the palace! Rich is just one of the many halos, and the reason why people from all walks of life respect us is mainly because of the big face of a few old worshippers in the house! When the lord built the palace, there were many talented people! My mother said that when the palace was established, it was the size of your yard, young master, but now, our palace is dozens of times that of before, and the reason why it is getting bigger and bigger is because there are more and more capable people in the mansion! My mother said that the master has a pair of eyes that are good at finding capable people! ”

Wang Yan was a little stunned! I didn't even know that my own house was such a huge resource bank.

It's no wonder that the most annoying thing for Young Master Wang is to get involved in the affairs of the palace.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me!
