A melty smile bloomed on Yan Qingcheng's face, and he said softly, "What does Jia Yan remember?" ”

"When I was four years old, I had an illness and a high fever that didn't go away for a few days. My mother is tired, and you are afraid that the people will not be careful, so you will move to my room and take care of me personally, wipe yourself and feed the medicine, day and night. Later, I recovered, but you contracted it, and the fever was so bad that people fell unconscious, and they almost didn't carry it. I still remember the days when you were sick, I was very scared, afraid that I would never see you again, and that no one would play with me in the future. Then you came out of the room, and I saw that you were thin and out of shape, but you were still smiling at me. ”

The smile on Yan Qingcheng's face deepened, "That day, you jumped up and hugged me, and said a childish stupid thing. ”

Jia Yan nodded, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes, "I said: Little uncle, from today on, Jia Yan owes you a life." ”

Yan Qingcheng put his chin on his head and said softly, "Your surname is Yan, and my surname is Yan, the two of us are blood relatives, so there is no need to say these words." ”

Jia Yan slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and a resolute smile came out of the corners of her lips, "Once, she told me the same thing......"

"Who?"

At the same time as asking this word, there were a few muffled "bangs" on the door panel, and then Yan Yuchi's indistinct voice came in, "Qingcheng, Qingcheng, are you there, accompany my brother and me to drink some wine." When my father is gone, you don't even care about my eldest brother, have you forgotten? When you were a child, I hugged you and accompanied you to read and write, but now you don't even recognize your brother? ”

Yan Qingcheng heard that he was drunk, and was afraid that he would say something to let Jiayan hear, so he pushed the door and walked out, grabbed Yan Yuchi's arm and walked out of the courtyard, while also instructing a few maids who rushed over to take care of Jiayan.

The brothers pushed and shoved to the door of a courtyard, Yan Yuchi stood still, he put one hand on Yan Qingcheng's shoulder, and the other hand punched him in the shoulder socket, snorting in his mouth, "Yan Qingcheng, you kid is really good at pretending, for so many years, it was my brother who recognized you in vain." But you didn't expect that you couldn't know people clearly, and you would treat her as a kind person. ”

Yan Qingcheng dragged him into the courtyard and closed the courtyard door with a "bang", then waved his hand off his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Father has only been gone for a few days, and you are so drunk, how can you be worthy of him?" ”

"He's an old man who ...... early I don't recognize my son for a long time, and I have a ...... whether I am drunk or not And what does it matter? Yan Yuchi stumbled a sentence, and when he finished speaking, he covered his face, but tears fell from his fingers and dripped down his thin chin onto the placket.

Hearing him say this, Yan Qingcheng's heart softened, he sighed, grabbed Yan Yuchi's shoulders and walked towards the house, "That's it, big brother, I will replace wine with tea today, and I will accompany you." ”

***

After three rounds of drinking, Yan Yuchi was very drunk, he had already drunk a lot, and he was depressed, so after a few cups of yellow soup, he was not very sober. He was half-kneeling on the edge of the table, crying and laughing, pointing at Yan Qingcheng with one hand, holding the wine cup with the other hand, and talking about it.

He talked most about his past with Cui Yun, how they fell in love with each other for a long time, how they made a private decision for life, and how he assured Cui Yun in the house where they often met privately that he would only love her for the rest of his life, and even planned to marry her next year.

But as he spoke, his words turned sharply, and he counted Xiangzhen. said that the two of them were wrong from the beginning, Xiangzhen's "perfection" made him timid, he was not at ease in front of her, and he was not at ease with Cui Yun. He also said that he regretted marrying Xiangzhen, and if there was no such family affair, there would be no such things, and Cui Yun and his father would not have died so miserably.

"Then why didn't you tell your father before you got engaged, father is not an unreasonable person, if you say that you don't agree to this marriage, he will never force you." Yan Qingcheng frowned, rubbing the rim of the cup with his index finger and thumb impatiently.

Yan Yuchi sneered, his shoulders shook a few times, "Of course his old man won't force me, but he will be disappointed in me." Qingcheng, you know what? Growing up, I was most afraid of my father's disappointed expression, he didn't say anything on his face, but he despised people a hundred times in his heart. Qingcheng, you can say that I am cowardly, but you have to understand me, as the son of the Yan family, I have a much heavier burden than you...... Qingcheng, can you understand me? I'm very bitter, the person I love is Cuiyun, but I don't dare to tell my father that I want to marry her, I don't like Xiangzhen, but I don't dare to disobey my father's ......"

He lay on the table and cried, "Cuiyun, she has had a very hard time, and she has lived so many years with me, but she has died so miserably." Do you know? She was a good woman, a very good woman, she never blamed me, and always advised me to be nice to Xiangzhen. Some time ago, Jia Yan was sick, she didn't know how guilty she was, so she went around looking for Lang Zhong and looking for a prescription, for fear that Jia Yan would not get better......"

"Jiayan's illness was not caused by her, why should she feel guilty?" Yan Qingcheng was a little confused.

"On the day Jiayan flew the kite, he came back and inadvertently broke the matter between me and Cuiyun," Yan Yuchi muttered to himself as he looked at the wine glass, "He was frightened, turned around and ran, Cuiyun and I didn't catch up...... So when he fainted, Cui Yun felt that she had her own responsibility......"

"I never understood why Jiayan suddenly fainted, I see." Yan Qingcheng suddenly realized, thought about it, and asked hesitantly, "Big brother, after so many years, has the matter between you and Cuiyun not been discovered?" ”

Yan Yuchi smiled and said, "You can say that we are hiding it well, or you can say that Xiangzhen is naïve, but after so many years, she really doesn't know that there is another woman next to me." ”

Having said this, Yan Yuchi poured himself another glass of wine, and before Yan Qingcheng could stop it, he drank it all and drank not a single drop left.

After drinking, he staggered to his feet, grinned at Yan Qingcheng and smiled, "The only people who can use this family in the future are our two brothers, Qingcheng, the eldest brother has done wrong things and said wrong things before...... You don't have to take it to heart, if you still don't want to forgive the big brother, then the big brother ...... I'll apologize to you right here......"

He was about to bow down as he spoke, but Yan Qingcheng hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said softly, "It's all a family, so it's a separation." ”

Yan Yuchi took advantage of the situation to support him and hugged him on the shoulder, "Qingcheng, I am just a younger brother like you, whether it is business or other things in the future, you have to help me more, our brothers are of one heart, no matter how difficult it is...... You can get by. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand at Yan Qingcheng and beckoned a few personal servants standing at the door to support him.

Yan Qingcheng looked at his back, a little guilt suddenly welled up in his heart, he pursed his dry lips, and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything after all.
