Ning Yuanhou deliberately waited for Yan Chi to go back to his courtyard today, it was an open pavilion used to entertain guests when he set up a banquet, and when he entered it, it was brightly lit. But at this time, it seems to be two points lonely.

When Yan Chi entered, the old marquis stood under the first wall with his back hand, and the lamps and candles were lit on the bottom case, but the autumn scenery of the rivers and mountains was hung on the wall above. This painting came from the hands of the first emperor and was specially given to the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, which shows the love for the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion. Since that day, this picture of the autumn scenery of the country has been hung in the open pavilion of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

I don't know if it's because the autumn night is cold and the lights and candles are lonely, for a moment, Yan Chi only felt that even if his grandfather's back was straight, the back of standing under the lamp shadow painting with his hands still showed two points of indescribable loneliness.

He suppressed the emotions churning in his heart, stepped forward and arched his hand, and said a little dryly, "Grandfather." ”

The old marquis didn't look back, he still looked up, looking at the autumn scenery of the country and mountains very intently, "Brother Chi, do you still remember what your grandfather told you about the origin of this painting?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." Yan Chi's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery very quickly, but his tone was very plain, dry without any emotion, "Forty years ago, Beidi knocked on the pass and captured several cities in the north in one fell swoop. The Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion was already in decline at that time, and it was precisely because of his grandfather that he regained control of the military power in the north and became the head of the noble family. In order to show the emperor's grace, the first emperor specially gave this autumn picture of the country. ”

"I still remember it." The old marquis finally turned his head to look at him, his tone and eyes were heavy.

Yan Chi sneered, it won't be long before I will be reminded by your old man, I can't forget it if I want to!

"Although your father inherited the title of Marquis of Ningyuan, the northern border was still peaceful these years, he only fought a few small battles when he was young, and now he enjoys peace in Yanjing City most of the time. But the ambition of the wolf son of the Beidi people will never be completely settled down because of the tribute. Brother Chi, you are the only seedling in the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion, do you really want to continue to mess around like this? Grandfather is old, he can't last long, your father is a colt after all, although His Majesty did not take away the military power of the Yan family because of this, but in the end, people are terrible......"

"What does grandfather want from me? Back then, it was you and my father who tied me up to Beishan Pass, and it was you who called me back later. I am the only seedling of the Yan family, so I will enjoy peace and tranquility. Isn't that exactly what you and your father were hoping for? Yan Chi didn't wait for the old marquis to finish speaking, he interrupted him, and smiled at the corners of his mouth, and it was the tone of the other hangerlang.

The old marquis's eyes were full of shadows, and the corners of his mouth opened a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he paused, and when he spoke again, it became a cliché again. "Brother Chi...... You are the only seedling of the Yan family, and your grandfather naturally hopes that you will be safe and happy in your life, but you can't mess around like this every day, mix with those gentlemen and spend your time in vain! ”

"Then grandfather might as well teach me what he wants me to do? Is it possible to go to the test to make a name for yourself and come back to glorify the lintel, or simply marry a wife and come back to help our Yan family spread out the branches? Yan Chi said, the corners of his lips hooked again, "To be honest, I really don't know what my grandfather and father want me?" Why don't grandfathers make it clear and understand, and I'll do what you want? Whether I want to be a waste, a bastard waiting to die, or a tool for inheritance, it's up to you to decide, how about it? ”

The old marquis looked at him, but he couldn't speak, the light and shadow under his eyes changed, and finally he sank into a deep dark color. After a long time, he raised his hand and waved, sighing with two points of weakness, "That's it! You get out! Call your father in! After the words fell, he turned his back and continued to look up at the autumn scenery of the country.

Yan Chi's eyes darkened, and when he said "yes", he turned his head and strode out.

When he got outside, he saw a person standing on one side, one was as cold as ice, the other was silent, all as if the other party's parents did not exist, he narrowed his eyes, stepped forward with a smile, and said loudly, "Father, grandfather is invited." ”

Ning Yuanhou glanced at him, frowned, didn't say anything, just walked towards Changxuan.

The door is closed. The eldest princess of Zhaoyang just glanced at it, then withdrew her gaze, took a step forward, looked Yan Chi up and down, and said, "Your grandfather didn't do it, did he?" ”

"Mother rest assured! I'm fine! ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang breathed a long sigh of relief, her hanging heart fell, and the pungent sour smell that she had just ignored rushed to her nose, she raised her eyes and looked at Yan Chi, her eyes glanced at the traces on his lips and neck, and finally landed on the small wound at the corner of her lips, her eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "How did you make it look like this?" "Didn't he go to Miss Chu's newly opened restaurant? Could it be her...... The eldest princess of Zhaoyang narrowed her eyes and looked unkind.

Sensing the gaze of the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, Yan Chi subconsciously raised his hand, covered his mouth, and stepped to the side, "It's okay, today's wine and food are very delicious, and I didn't pay attention to bite it myself." The son's body is too rude, go back and freshen up first, and don't worry about the mother. It's late at night, so let's go home and rest! ”

The eldest princess of Zhaoyang laughed for a moment, "It's okay! Then you can rest today! Come over early tomorrow and let my mother take a good look! ”

"Yes." Yan Chi should have given his hand.

In this compartment, the mother and son are quite happy. Over there, in the open hall a few steps away, the atmosphere between the old marquis and Ning Yuanhou's father and son was a little dignified.

Hearing a sigh, the old marquis closed his eyes weakly, "I can't let him be so idle anymore, I have to find him an errand to do." And also...... It's time to think about his marriage. It's just that you have to find a virtuous person in a good life, and you have to be able to grasp his heart, as the old saying goes, start a family, perhaps, after being a husband and a father, he can always be sensible......"

"Yes." Ning Yuanhou replied in a calm voice.

When Yan Chi was bathing in the clean room, Guan He couldn't help but ask Guan Shan in a low voice, "What's going on?" "I have been living in the Eldest Princess's Mansion for several days, how could Master Hou know that I would come back today, and I was waiting there?

Guan Shan shook his head, "I don't know. Before you came back, Master Hou waited there deliberately. ”

The two brothers were speechless for a while, and in the house, Yan Chi, who was immersed in the bathtub, was as heavy as water. What else could it be? secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him, afraid that he would report back the incident of him and the eldest girl of the Chu family "messing around" in the carriage today, and guessed that he would not return to the eldest princess's mansion like this, so he deliberately waited for him to come back, and as soon as he came, he was served by the family law.

He refused to make his words clear. This home is really as ...... as ever Dislike.

He habitually hooked the corners of his lips, but he didn't want to pull the wound on the corners of his lips, so he couldn't help but "hiss".
