Chapter 64: The Past Comes Again and Again1

Because he wanted to learn about spices with Xiao Zheng, Lan Yi had frequently appeared in Mo Huitou recently, and his contact with Feng Yao had increased significantly, although due to Xiao Zheng and Nanfeng, too much intimate contact was still subject to many restrictions, but it was always possible to meet, and it was good to look at it so closely. What's more, both of them are easy to change their temperament, and from time to time, Feng Yao has to say two sentences to Lan Yi, and Lan Yi will occasionally return a few words eloquently.

Happy days are always fast, on this day, Xiao Zheng put forward a risky and worthwhile idea for Lan Yi to try, Nanfeng is going to Rongchang, although Lan Yi doesn't know much about Rongchang, but Xiao Zheng told him righteously that although there is a dangerous place, but at the same time there are great opportunities. Lan Yi is in the silk business, which is definitely a rare in-demand item in the field, if it can be brought there, it can definitely make a lot of money, turning over should not be a problem, and it is very likely that Lan Yi will retaliate to revive the family business.

This proposal was undoubtedly extremely tempting for Lan Yi, and his heart was nervous and yearning. Although this is the capital of singing and dancing, he is not ignorant of the border war, but as Xiao Zheng said, there are huge risks but also huge business opportunities...... Everything can be solved. After a fierce ideological struggle, Lan Yi persuaded himself that he was going to follow the south wind to the field, and he was going to take his silk to that place full of danger.

The choice was difficult, but when he told his father Lan Hongda of his thoughts, he found that compared with his own ideological struggle, his father's obstruction was even more unexpected.

Admittedly, Lan Hongda absolutely disagrees, which does not seem to be difficult to imagine. Although the Lan family is not stronger than before, it has not fallen to the point of defeat, not to mention that Lan Yi is the only son of the family, and there is still such a big family business waiting for him to inherit, let's just say that the Lan family has no job to continue, at least wait for him Lan Yi to continue the incense. It's good now, the family has not been completed, the son has not been left, but he is such a lone seedling to take risks, and he is risking his life. God knows when those savage Hulu people will attack, and in case they become fierce, the sword will not have eyes.

Lan Yi's stubbornness, as his father, Lan Hongda has been deeply taught, so this time, Lan Hongda also took more decisive measures, not only locked Lan Yi in Tingfeng Pavilion, telling him not to leave for half a step, but also sent more than half of the family members in the house to take turns to guard, once there is an omission to let Lan Yi escape, then all the firmness in charge of guarding will be severely punished!

Lan Hongda has made up his mind, and the family members dare not slack off, not to mention, in the past so many years, although this Lan Mansion is a prominent young master, it has not received due attention, but the young lady of the Lan family is more popular with the people. Therefore, this time, no family member was soft on Lan Yi, and Lan Yi's idea of taking the opportunity to escape has never been realized.

Seeing that the date of going to the field that Xiao Zheng said was approaching, but Lan Yi still had nothing to do, Lan Yi, who really had no choice, thought of a decisive idea, and he went on a hunger strike in the house! Water and rice do not stick! At first, Lan Hongda didn't care, he only knew that his son was stubborn, but two days later, Lan Hongda realized the seriousness of this matter, and if it went on like this, his son didn't go to the field to take risks, but it was very likely that he would die young and starve to death!

Lan Hongda, who was worried, was helpless, and the concubine Liu Yue'e had no choice but to pretend to be a good person and go to Tingfeng Pavilion, although she was unwilling, but for Lan Hong's face, how could she, the aunt, have to show it, even if she was acting, she had to play this play well. Of course, the result of Liu Yue's persuasion was ineffective, but this was not what she cared about, she hoped that this Lan Yi could have a seed to the end, and it was best to starve to death at once to be happy!

Unlike Liu Yue'e, her sister Lan Xue rushed over anxiously as soon as she heard Lan Yi's hunger strike, of course, Lan Yi's attitude towards her was still gentle, and she chatted with her for a few words, but when the topic changed, this brother, who usually cared for Lan Xue very much, put on his cold face again. No matter what Lan Xue said, it was useless, even this girl's tears did not change any of Lan Yi's decisions!

The people who can go to the house can be said to take turns, but the results are of course in vain. Seeing Lan Yi getting thinner and thinner, Lan Hongda's heart couldn't help but waver. But in his heart, he seems to have one last killer weapon, he doesn't want to use it as a sharp weapon until he has to, but now, it seems that he has reached a critical juncture, not whether he wants to or not, whether he is happy or not, but the problem he has to face.

If you talk about the majesty of the Blue Mansion, it is also one of the best in the capital, except for this year, the annual cost of the Blue Mansion on repairing the mansion is definitely a considerable amount. Although Lan Hongda himself is a little stingy in some other aspects, he is also hot in this regard. Therefore, although the Blue Mansion has been built for more than ten years, the scale and grandeur are changing with each passing day, and there has never been a trace of regression.

Compared with the overall grandeur and luxury of the Blue Mansion, in a remote corner of the rear courtyard of the Blue Mansion, a small courtyard seems a little out of place and extremely incongruous.

The luxurious Blue Mansion came to an abrupt end here, leaving you in another world. There are stone paving roads, surrounded by green bamboo, although the environment is elegant, but the houses are a little old, especially the quaint wooden doors, the painted window lattices and the plain window paper, even the place where the people of the Blue Mansion live is several times better than here.

But here, it is not a subordinate who lives, nor is it someone who has made a mistake in Lan Mansion, it is the wife of Lan Mansion, where Lan Hong's wife lives. If there is anyone else in this world who Lan Yi will obey, then this woman here is definitely the first to bear the brunt.

Many years later, Lan Hongda stood here again, with the hidden pain, sadness, and pain in his heart, as well as the self-blame and chagrin that he didn't know if he should have. Once upon a time, he Lan Hongda also had compassion for the things of the past and the people of the past......

It was a very simple road, it was a very short road, but for Lan Hongda, it was not just a road, it was a door to the past, it was a mirror to look back at the past. He stood there nervously, there had never been anything in this world that made Lan Hongda so worried, so jealous, and there had never been a person named Lan Hongda who was ashamed and nostalgic. This is where his heart is depressed, this is where he worries and resents, here is the person he is afraid to meet.

In order to avoid his inner demons, Lan Hongda hadn't been here for many years, and if it was possible, he would rather not come for the rest of his life! But now, Lan Yi is risking his life, is his bet not only his own life? That is still Lan Hongda's life, the life of Lan Fu, and the hope of everyone up and down the Lan family! Lan Hongda has no choice, compared to Lan Yi's life, his reluctance is no longer important!

The midsummer night came very late, and although it was already long past dinner time, the sky was still bright, and the whole land was still in a state of light. A slight breeze blew, and the bamboo leaves on the side of the road shook slightly, disturbing Lan Hongda's thoughts a little, and his footsteps that had stopped for a long time still didn't move forward.

Lan Hongda came here quietly alone, but after a while, the entire mansion seemed to have known the news of their lord's arrival, and everyone's reaction was stunned, and then they all seemed to close their mouths as if they knew something. No one will take the initiative to mention it here. In the Blue Mansion, this night is a strange phenomenon, even the newcomers will know about the forbidden place of this mansion soon after they come, and surprisingly, everyone will remain silent and pass on this well-known secret from generation to generation.

The ancient Buddha of the green lantern, chanting as a companion, this is the biggest wish of the person here, but because there is concern in her heart, because there is still an unfinished relationship in her heart, she has no chance to empty the door. Therefore, she forged an empty door of her own here in the Blue Mansion back then, stepped into it, and never left.

That was the last time Lan Hongda and his wife met, the way he felt goodbye back then, the look full of resentment back then gradually blurred with the passage of time, Lan Hongda didn't even dare to imagine that person's current appearance, maybe even if he racked his brains to think about it, he couldn't come up with a clue! Time is urging people to grow old, and most of his Lan Hong's glory is no longer the glory of the past, how can he hope that person can look ageless and the years will not be traced?

Lan Hongda's heart still has a special attachment to this person, just because she gave birth to the only male for the Lan family, she is the indispensable hero of the Lan Mansion!

If Lan Hongda's heart is no matter how Lan Hongda's heart is, Lan Yi's mother can be said to be a hero, then in her heart, what is Lan Hongda? Husband? Foe? Executioner? Lan Hongda's heart was a little conflicted, he no longer begged him to be perfect in her heart, he just hoped that she could let go of the past and calm down, all this might be enough.

That's enough? Is it really enough? Could it be that Lan Hongda's understated worries can be washed away by the years so plainly in Lan Yi's mother's heart?

Lan Hongda smiled bitterly, he had never entered his heart, he swallowed the bitter fruit he had planted, he thought he would digest it, he thought it would absorb it, but Lan Hongda was wrong, he didn't have a broad mind, he didn't have a large number of people, he didn't have a selfless true temperament. He had changed, he had betrayed his promise, he had done something that she would never forgive for the rest of her life. Although time has passed, with the passage of time and the growth of age, Lan Hongda will blame himself in his heart, but if he goes back in time, he may still make the same choice!
