"Young Master Venucia is back with Miss? Why did you walk in? The butler saw two men coming in from the outside.

"We came by bus and got off at the intersection."

"Why don't you come in advance, I'll let the driver pick you up."

"It's okay, the old man is inside, right?"

"I didn't know that you were coming back today, so you went fishing in a nearby river."

"Okay, I got it."

"I'm going to tell the master that you're back." After saying that, the butler hurried away.

Yang Qichen glanced at Xu Anran next to him, Xu Anran was looking around at Yang's house with a look of surprise.

"What's wrong? Do you think it will be a European-style villa? ”

"How is that possible! I knew Grandpa was traditional and wouldn't like that. It's just that I thought that such a simple and traditional garden-style building only exists in the national key cultural relics protection units, but I didn't expect that in addition to seeing Qiyuan in Zhejiang, there would be people who would live in a garden-style mansion comparable to Qiyuan. ”

"The garden is weeping orange and pomelo, and the door and alley are falling. There will always be people who love their roots deeply, right? ”

"That's right. You suddenly brought me to Yang's house today, and you didn't tell me in advance, I didn't bring anything, it's too unruly, right? ”

"The old man doesn't lack those things from you, he is an awkward person, you come to see him more, he is very happy in his heart." The two men said as they entered the door and walked towards the main hall.

"Of course I know that there is no shortage of grandpa, but that's different, besides, shouldn't there be other family members of yours?"

"You've come in all the way, but what other people have you seen? This house, don't look at it big, except for the old man and the housekeeper and some hired people to manage food, clothing, housing and transportation, there are no other people. ”

"You mean, Grandpa is the only one living here?"

"You don't want to think about it, it's all in this era, how can anyone else live in such a traditional house, all in the urban area!"

"I think it's good, it's so quiet here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's much more uncomfortable to live here."

"If you want to, you can move in with Venucia, the Yang family has no shortage of places for you to live."

"Grandpa is back." A vicissitudes of life but full of anger suddenly sounded behind him, Xu Anran hurriedly turned around, only to see the old man wearing bucket shoes and holding a fishing rod in his hand, walking in with a solemn face.

"Yo, old urchin, I went fishing today, why did you come back so early? Did the butler tell you that we were back, and rushed back? Yang Qichen snatched the fishing rod from Yang Zhongxiong's hand and played with it in his hand.

"Eh—don't break my rod."

"You said that the fish in your fish pond were caught, and you didn't raise them yourself. Could it be that you still expect to be Mrs. Jiang back? ”

"Little rabbit, it's going to be fine when you come back."

"If you don't specifically tell your son to let me come back, I will come to the Yang Mansion as soon as possible, maybe I won't come back today!"

"Stinky boy!!"

Xu Anran looked at the duplicitous bickering between his grandfather and grandson, wanting to laugh and persuade him, so he held back for a long time.

"Grandpa, let Qichen take it to Soap Li Lake next time!"

"Hmph, count on him? He might as well go to his college and teach him those dolls! ”

"Master, the meal is ready, do you think you are going straight to the main hall?" The housekeeper who came in from outside asked Yang Zhongxiong respectfully.

"No, let's get the food to where I live!" As soon as Yang Qichen's words came out, Xu Anran obviously saw Yang Zhongxiong's face sinking instantly on the wooden chair.

"Venucia, I want to eat here, I have never experienced the feeling of ancient people sitting in the main hall to eat! It's rare to get my grandfather's light today, and I have this opportunity. ”

Xu Anran's words were said, and everyone on the scene was obviously stunned, and even Yang Zhongxiong unconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xu Anran.

"Come on." Yang Zhongxiong beckoned to the butler.

"Yes, sir."

After a while, all kinds of traditional dishes were served, and Xu Anran was salivating, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach were ready to move.

Strangely, although the three of them were all seated at the same table, the atmosphere became even more eerie than before.

Xu Anran had to look at a table of good dishes and was stunned, not daring to put down the chopsticks easily.

"Old naughty boy, don't be so fierce, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to pick up vegetables." Yang Qichen on the side had already seen Xu Anran's thoughts, and he was caught off guard, so frightened that the chopsticks Xu Anran was holding in his hand almost didn't fall to the ground.

"Well, cough - don't be afraid, just grab it if you want to." Yang Zhongxiong, who was sitting in the right position, also realized that he was a little too serious, so he coughed and said to Xu Anran, although it was vague, but it was enough for people to hear clearly.

"I didn't, grandpa, don't listen to Qichen's nonsense." As he spoke, he quickly picked up a large chopstick dish from the plate in front of him and put it in the bowl.

"You, help her order, don't eat a meal and can't get enough."

"You still need to say it." Yang Qichen stood up and exchanged all kinds of meat and all kinds of good dishes to Xu Anran.

"What are you doing!!

"Eat, you're welcome. The old man is used to big fish and meat, so let him eat some vegetarian food for a change of taste. ”

Xu Anran, looking at Yang Zhongxiong's increasingly ugly face, his heart rose to his throat, this meal was really tormented, this pair of strange grandchildren will not stop at the dinner table!

Finally, the meal was finally finished, and Xu Anran wandered around the garden alone, eating and eating. Yang Qichen was called to the study by the old man after eating, she was still a little worried, afraid that the grandfather and grandson would fight if they disagreed, but thinking about it, the two of them were just a little poisonous, and they didn't really rush to the eyes, so they didn't think about it, besides, it was inconvenient for her to intervene.

"Is the young lady walking around the garden?" Elsewhere in the hallway, the butler walked over.

"Well, in such a big house, grandpa must be very lonely when he lives here alone!"

"Yes, for so many years, the master has lived here alone, and the juniors have moved out one after another. Today, thanks to the lady's wit, I let Venucia have a meal with the old man! I don't know how happy my heart is. The master's favorite grandson is the young master Venucia, although the family has moved out, the young master Venucia still has time to come to the old house to see, and have a meal with the master, but two years ago, since the master and the young master Venucia quarreled at the dinner table, the young master went to the United States, two years have not come to see the old man, after coming back, he has not come to see the master once, the last time he came back, he didn't stay long and left, today, it is rare to have Miss Xu here, and the old man is not so lonely once. ”

"You say, two years ago, Venucia had a big quarrel with his grandfather and went to the United States?"

"yes. The noise was so loud that the young master even overturned the dining table. ”

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know this, I'm a housekeeper, it's not good, it's a subordinate, how can I ask about the affairs of this master's family. It is also to see that the old man's health has become worse and worse in the past two years, and it is rare to see him in a good mood today, and Miss Xu is not an outsider, so he said so much. ”

"You're also bothered, I'll often come back with Qichen to visit grandpa in the future."

"Oh, really? Well, it couldn't be better, so good, so good. ”

"Hmm."

"Then Miss Xu, you can go around, there is a river pond over there, but the lotus flowers are withered this season, if Miss Xu doesn't mind, you can also go over and have a look." I'll get busy first. ”

"Okay, I got it."

It wasn't until the housekeeper disappeared into the corridor that Xu Anran settled down.

Two years ago, two years ago, no matter where you are, you can't escape these three words.

......

In Yang Zhongxiong's study, Yang Qichen was kneeling on the floor of the study with his back upright, hanging his head, gritting his teeth and enduring without saying a word. The two hands were spread straight in front of him, and the redness, swelling and blood marks on the palms of the palms were clearly and eye-catching.

Smack————

With another sound, the wooden ring ruler hit Yang Qichen's palm hard.

"How did I teach you? Speak and dare to be honest. How do you do it, leave your fiancée behind on the day of your engagement, clean up the mess alone, and run away without a trace. Did the Yang family's family rules teach you to be so irresponsible? ”

"It was my mistake, and I will take responsibility for myself."

"Responsible, how are you responsible? You are ten years older, and they are in their youth, and for you, they will continue to be pointed out by the world and spurned by the world, but they must also save your face. It's good for you to run far away, if there is no Yang family to stand up, I am afraid that your daughter-in-law will be drowned by this spitting star. ”

"It's me who is sorry for her, and I am willing to be punished."

"There are no rules, how can Fang Yuan come from, today's punishment is all your own fault. Two years ago, I asked you to go back to the group, you insisted on going to the United States, you were unfamiliar, and now you are... In short, you should know what you want to do, and don't let people be wronged. If you don't care about it anymore, even if you want to cherish it in the future, I will never let the family lose in your hands again. People, I can't hurt the people I love a few times in my life, your grandmother... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Yang Zhongxiong threw away the ring ruler in his hand, looked a little sad, raised his head and looked out the window, no one could notice the tears in his eyes.

Venucia, you can't go my way.

Yang Qichen looked at Yang Zhongxiong's back, withdrew his hand, struggled up from the ground tremblingly, and silently withdrew from the study.

"Oh, Young Master Venucia, your hand... Why are you so troubled! I have to do it against the master! The housekeeper looked at Yang Qichen who came out of the study, his hands were bloody, and he immediately stepped forward.

"I'm fine. What about Enron? ”

"Miss Xu is walking around the garden! I'm going to call her. ”

"Don't, don't scream, she'll be scared when she sees it. Later, if it's late, let her go to my place to rest, tell her that I have something to discuss with grandpa today, it will be late, let her rest first when she is sleepy, and don't wait for me. ”

"Okay, okay, I know, but young master, your hand?"

"I'm fine, you bring the secret ointment made at home, and I'll be fine if I apply it."

"Okay, I'll go. With that, the housekeeper immediately ran out to get the medicine.

Yang Qichen looked at the palms of his hands, and a sudden sharp throbbing pain made him tighten his eyebrows.

However, have you ever felt a thousand times more pain?
