Chapter 22: Drinking (2nd Watch)
The descendants of the Gu family occupy almost one-third of the government and the opposition, which is the confidence of the Gu family. Now Gu Qingyan said a word, everyone in the Gu family is sick at home, if he sends someone to the top, there will naturally be a lot of people, and they will grab a lot of them, but if they go up, they may not have the ability to sit on the top position, and the position of the Gu family is not so easy to top.
Now that Wang Anzhi has lent this problem to Chu Yan in the hands of His Majesty, Chu Yan plans to use Chu Xian to ask what Gu Qingyan wants to do.
If he simply rebelled silently in this way, then there would be a remark. If he wants everyone in the Gu family to withdraw from the court, then Da Chu will face the danger of tilting the court.
Chu Xian also couldn't sit still, and stood up, "I'll go to Gu's house to see him tonight." ”
Chu Yan nodded.
So, that day and night, Chu Xian braved the wind and snow and Chu Xian was at the back door of Gu's house.
After the gatekeeper went to make a report, Gu Qingyan met Chu Xian as Chu Yan expected.
Chu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, gathered his cloak, and entered the Gu family.
Old Man Gu was not in the Gu family, and it did not affect the Gu family as quiet as always, the deep courtyard was covered with snow, and under the lamp, Chu Xian's long shadow was pulled.
When I came to Gu Qingyan's courtyard, the plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom, and gusts of wind and snow were blowing, with a rich cold plum fragrance.
This courtyard looks quite vibrant than the entire Gu family.
Chu Xian's footsteps paused, "I remember that there were no plum blossoms in Huai'an's yard before, when were they planted?" ”
Qingmo replied, "Gongzi went to Nanyang to see a yard of plum blossoms planted in the courtyard of the little county lord, and after returning from Nanyang, he asked his yard to be planted with plum blossoms, but the varieties of plum blossoms are not as good as the plum blossoms in the courtyard of the small county lord, and the same varieties as the plum blossoms in the courtyard of the little county lord cannot be found in the world." ”
"The varieties of these plum blossoms are good enough, thousands of times stronger than ordinary plum blossoms, and there are even better varieties?" Chu Xian was curious, "What kind of plum blossom is in the courtyard of the small county lord of Nanyang Palace?" ”
Qingmo said, "It is said that the little county lord found the red plum in the deep mountains in the Tianshan Mountains of Nanyang when he was a child, so he begged the eldest son and the second son of the Nanyang Royal Mansion to move a few plants back to her house, I don't know what variety it is, there is no record." ”
Chu Xian looked at these plum blossoms, and at this moment he deeply felt Gu Qingyan's deep heart for An Huajin.
Outside the house, a child's voice came from inside the house with a little childish voice, "Little uncle, little aunt should get the news of your marriage now, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"Aren't you afraid that your little aunt really doesn't want you? You lock yourself in the house and do nothing, what do you do in case the little aunt doesn't want you anymore? ”
Gu Qingyan's voice never came out again, and Chu Xian could imagine his silence.
But whose children are the children in the house? Huai'an doesn't seem to like children in front of him. What's more, he still calls him his little uncle.
"Huh? Someone is coming. An Yining heard footsteps and glanced out.
"Your Highness, come in!" Gu Qingyan's voice was flat.
Chu Xian vaguely heard a little dumbness in his voice, stepped up the steps, pushed open the door, and entered the house. At a glance, he saw the child lying on the table, and the child's small face looked at him curiously, and the familiar eyebrows overlapped with the person he remembered, and he was stunned for a moment.
An Yining has seen too many eyes from people who have seen his face, but only Chu Xian looked at him without blinking, there was no movement, just staring at him, looking at him with good eyes, looking at it for a while, his eyes slowly turned red, and he faintly burst into tears.
An Yining had heard that his father had been the companion of the eldest prince in the past, and he had a deep friendship, since the eldest prince returned to Beijing from the forbidden place, he had not seen him, this was the first time he had seen him.
"Kid...... What is your name? Chu Xian stepped forward slowly and asked in a low voice.
"An Yining."
"Ann...... An Yining ......" Chu Xian asked directly, "An ...... Who are you? ”
An Yining turned her head to look at Gu Qingyan with inquiring eyes.
Gu Qingyan nodded.
An Yining sat up on his stomach, jumped off the chair, and said seriously, "An Qichen is my father." ”
Chu Xian was shocked, stared at An Yining for a while, suddenly smiled, squatted down, and asked him, "Can I hug you?" ”
An Yining nodded.
Chu Xian stretched out his hand and hugged An Yining in his arms, and suddenly cried and laughed, "I really didn't expect that he still has blood...... The sky has eyes. ”
"It's not that the sky has eyes, it's my little aunt." An Yining retorted in a low voice, "It's none of God's business. ”
If the sky really had eyes, his grandfather, father, and uncle would not have been killed by the bad guys.
"Your little aunt?"
"Well, my little aunt saved my mother, and my mother gave birth to me."
"Your little aunt is awesome." Chu Xian praised.
An Yining was happy and said proudly, "My little aunt is so good." ”
Chu Xian hugged An Yining for a while, reluctant to let go, and asked him, "Are you eight years old?" ”
"Yes."
Chu Xian hugged him and sat on the chair and asked him many questions, and An Yining answered them one by one obediently.
Half an hour later, Chu Xian was still reluctant to let go, and said to him, "What's your nickname?" ”
"Ning'er."
"Yes, Ning'er." Chu Xian touched his head and said, "I'll pick you up another day and go to my mansion to live for a few days, okay?" ”
An Yining looked at Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan said, "Go ahead." ”
An Yining was puzzled, "Little uncle, my cousin asked me to go to live in his mansion, you don't agree, why did His Royal Highness let me go to live in his mansion, and you agreed?" ”
Gu Qingyan's tone was very calm, "His Royal Highness has no intentions for your little aunt, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has." ”
An Yining: "......"
Chu Xian: "......"
The two people, one big and one small, seemed to be choked by Gu Qingyan's words, and they didn't speak for a while.
After a while, An Yining sighed like a little adult, and said to Chu Xian, "Your Highness, I can't go to your mansion with you now, I have to look at my little uncle, I'm afraid that he won't be able to find a short term or something, and when he reconciles with my little aunt, I'll go again." ”
Chu Xian: "......"
He was silent and smiled softly, "Okay, listen to you, you can go to my mansion whenever you want." ”
An Yining nodded, very curious about his father, so he in turn pulled His Highness to ask An Qichen about what happened when he was a companion of His Highness in Beijing.
Chu Xian was very patient and talked to him one by one.
An Yining listened with relish, "It turns out that my father is such a person, why is it different from what my little aunt said?" It turns out that my dad is also very naughty and fun-loving. My little aunt said that my father always disliked my little aunt and made trouble, and often reprimanded her. ”
Chu Xian smiled, "About in front of your little aunt, you should have the appearance of an eldest brother." ”
"Well, maybe." An Yining thought for a while and nodded, "After all, my little aunt is really disobedient, and my great-grandfather said that she went to the house to uncover the tiles when she was a child." ”
Chu Xian smiled, "I haven't seen Lord An Xiao yet. ”
"My little aunt is fine." An Yining said a lot of good things about An Huajin.
Even if he didn't say it, Chu Xian knew that An Huajin could make Gu Qingyan fall into it like this, and he could convince a person like him with a cold nature, how could it be as simple as being different from other women? There must be something very remarkable and pleasing about her.
Indeed, An Huajin who came out of An Yining's mouth sounded like a vivid and different person.
After An Yining praised An Huajin, he got down from Chu Xian's lap very obediently and sensibly, and said to Chu Xian, "Your Highness is here to discuss things with your little uncle, right?" I won't bother you. ”
"Go ahead." Chu Xian bowed.
An Yining went back to her room.
After the child left, the room was silent for a while.
Chu Xian said with emotion, "I really didn't expect that Venucia actually has a child, it's really a happy thing." ”
"Does Your Highness want to drink?" Gu Qingyan asked.
"I want to drink."
"Qingmo, go get a jar of drunken spring breeze." Gu Qingyan commanded.
Qingmo should have been, and immediately went.
After a while, Qingmo brought a jar of drunken spring breeze, took a wine cup for the two of them, and then retreated.
Gu Qingyan picked up the wine jar, filled one for Chu Xian, and filled one for himself, and asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked His Royal Highness to come down?" ”
"You've already guessed it?" Chu Xian smiled, "It's the seventh brother, he said that if you don't see others, you will always see me, and sure enough, he was right." ”
He paused and took a sip of wine, "Ten miles of spring breeze and thousands of miles of drunkenness, thousands of miles of acacia and a glass of wine." Huai'an, are you lovesick, or do you want to have two drinks with me? ”
Gu Qingyan's eyes were light, "Drink two glasses with you." ”
Chu Xian laughed, "Okay, I'll just think you want to have two drinks with me." ”
Gu Qingyan lowered his eyelashes, looked at the wine cup in his hand for a moment, raised his head again, looked out the window, and said in a calm tone, "The Gu family is sick, Your Majesty is in a hurry, Wang Anzhi gave His Majesty an idea, and pushed the court matter to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to find out what I thought, so I invited His Royal Highness to come down." ”
Chu Xian nodded, picked up the wine cup and touched it with Gu Qingyan, "Seventh brother knows about you helping me back then, and thinks we have a very good relationship." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled and drank it all, "He wants Da Chu to change his appearance, it is better to start with the Gu family, my Gu family did it, and his Wang family followed, and then, he will always know that the An family is in Nanyang, and the town is only guarding the frontier, and the internal affairs are withering, and it has nothing to do with the An family." It's the Gu family, the Wang family, and the world's families have been entrenched in the network for too long. ”
