Fu Mingxuan didn't explain, and said after a while: "Please ask my father to send a reliable person to collect Da Lang's affairs in recent years for me, starting from the fifteen-year-old 'Tai Chu'." In addition, I always felt that the wind was not in the right direction in the city, and my father reminded everyone to be vigilant, even after the demon descent, they could not relax. ”

The last sentence almost means that after the end of the "Demon Hour", there will be a moth in Yujing City.

Fu Bowen responded, and then asked, "Is it the Yan family's eldest who hasn't finished the matter yet?"

Fu Mingxuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not like that." ”

Fu Bowen knew that he had always had an idea, but seeing that he had been thinking about it and didn't mean to elaborate, he didn't ask anymore.

There was silence in the house for a moment when they heard movement in the courtyard outside, and the two of them turned their eyes to the door together.

At this time, he dared to run to the edge of Fu Bowen's study without informing, who else was there besides Fu Mingyuan?

Sure enough, a light and pleasant voice said cheerfully: "Daddy, daddy, I'm in!"

As he spoke, without waiting for an answer from inside, the door was pushed open and a delicate and beautiful face came in, with a pair of autumn-like bright eyes facing Fu Mingxuan.

Fu Mingyuan hurriedly "ah", shrank back, and almost slammed the door.

She finally realized in time that this move was too much to cover up, so she stopped her movements, and then honestly opened the door and walked in with dignity.

"Father, big brother. ”

After saying hello, Fu Mingyuan deliberately said to Fu Mingxuan: "My homework is done." ”

"Huh. ”

Fu Mingyuan was a little angry at Fu Mingxuan's response, and his bright eyes turned around, looking left and right without a trace.

Fu Mingxuan said lightly: "Don't look at it, Da Lang has gone home." ”

Fu Mingyuan twisted his fingers and said, "Who wants to know if he is going home or going out to wander again." ”

Fu Mingxuan always felt that her expression was a little inexplicable, and said, "If you get someone away, he won't go out too." ”

Fu Mingxuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, and when he looked up and saw Fu Mingxuan's face, he knew that he had been cheated, and immediately lowered his head.

Fu Mingxuan said coldly: "I remember I told you that you can't go to our private courtyard, let alone interfere. What an old person, he doesn't even have the most basic politeness. Besides, you know what the identity of that woman is, so you dare to contact her recklessly. ”

Fu Mingyuan was trained so that she didn't even dare to raise her head, and muttered to excuse, "I didn't meet her, I just sent someone in to change a vase of flowers, and by the way, I also gave a set of clothes." ”

Fu Mingxuan's face was cold, but he was amusing in his heart. He only now understood why the female steward who came to report Linxi's disappearance had such a strange face, and he had to emphasize that except for people who had run away, there was nothing missing in the house, including fabrics such as bed nets.

The housekeeper should not have known that there were maids from other places who had entered at that time, so she couldn't imagine how a woman who could behave strangely at a glance ran out in broad daylight, in the Fu family, where the guards were not too strict but not able to let people come and go.

At this time, the truth was revealed, at that time, Linxi forcibly broke away from Shen Boyan's prohibition, even if he was injured, at least his mobility should have recovered, and he got his body clothes again. If you want to come to Fu Mingyuan, she won't give her own, she should be dressed as a maid.

As long as Linxi was careful in her actions, the guest house was close to the outer street, and there were not many secret posts nearby, so she naturally got out.

Fu Mingxuan said slowly: "You should also see that the blood tide celestial phenomenon has appeared. From now on, you can't leave the house again, I'll keep people watching. ”

Fu Mingyuan was a little unconvinced, and said: "There is a magic circle at home, there are guards, and there is no need to keep people." My Dao method is not weak, I can't follow my father to the front line outside the city, but why can't I go with you to the city to guard the array. ”

Fu Mingxuan said: "What I said can't leave the house, not only during the demon descending period, even if the war is over and the ban is not lifted, you can't go out." ”

Fu Mingyuan's face changed slightly, "Why!"

Fu Mingxuan said: "If you have any opinions, I will ask someone to send you to your mother now." ”

Fu Mingyuan was stunned, his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Fu Bowen, who had been silent. seemed to know that her father and brother in front of her would no longer indulge her, so she couldn't help but stomp her feet and snatch the door.

The door of the study was hit heavily, and Fu Bowen said: "She is happy with the Yan family." ”

Fu Mingxuan said lightly: "She doesn't remember her identity, her father should still remember." Besides, liking people is not a reason to add to the chaos. ”

Fu Bowen sighed softly and nodded in recognition.

Yan Kaiting didn't go to the main gate when he returned to the house this time, and directly found the nearest place to turn into the inner courtyard.

When he entered, he did not deliberately conceal his whereabouts, and when he walked to the fire zone outside the "Hua Bu Xie Garden", people stood up one after another from the nearby secret sentinels, and the guards saw that it was Yan Kaiting, so they saluted and disappeared.

Yan Kaiting nodded in return, paused briefly in front of the golden silk and bamboo moon gate in the garden, and still turned around and walked in.

It's late spring and early summer, and when you enter the door, you will see a large area of dryland daffodils on your right. The soil has a thermostatic circle, so the flowering period is extraordinarily long, but it's almost time to bloom. The goose-yellow flowers bloom desperately in large clusters, as if they will wither tomorrow.

Yan Kaiting walked along a crooked path paved with water marble.

This is an ancient riverbed that has been diverted and dried up in a section of the barren river, and the stone body has flowing water waves and cloud patterns. It is said that Yan Kaiting's biological mother likes this kind of small stone very much, and all the marble stones in the more than ten zhang road are all picked up by herself one by one.

At the end of the path is a private bookstore.

The whole house is made of wood, and if you get closer, you can smell the subtle aroma of mahogany. The tree itself can also be used as a medicinal plant, and is the base material for a variety of calming and Qingming elixirs. Using it to make a wooden house naturally also has the function of refreshing the mind.

The wooden house did not use much construction skills, it was plain and natural. The wood of both the walls and the beams is slippery, leaving all traces of nature and showing the ruddy color of mahogany and the clear texture without knots and scars.

There was a light in the room, a huge thorn embedded in the roof beam. During the day, it is covered with silk silk, only a slight space remains, and when it is opened at night, it is as bright as a candle.

Yan Kaiting didn't seem to be surprised that there were people in the room at all, and he didn't hesitate at all. He took a heavy step, but did not slow down his walking, and pushed the door open.

When the people in the room heard the commotion, they stood up and looked towards the door.

Both of them looked as usual, not in the slightest surprised to see each other here.

This is the old mansion master's study, and now there are two people who can open the magic circle and come in, Yan Kaiting and Hu Donglai. Hu Donglai has always helped the old mansion master deal with paperwork, and he was authorized during his lifetime.

After Yan Kaiting succeeded to the throne, he did not withdraw Hu Donglai's authorization for some reason.

Hu Donglai, on the other hand, did not regard himself as an outsider, but still retained his previous habit and often came to read books. Most of the books here are Taoist notes, refining essentials, and a small number of miscellaneous travelogues. In fact, he came much faster than Yan Kaiting.

Hu Donglai moved first, he closed a jade tablet book in his hand, put it back on the shelf, and then bowed and saluted, "Mansion master." ”

Yan Kaiting nodded, walked to the desk and sat down, and said, "Half of the books here are inherited by the Yan family, and the other half is my father's collection during his lifetime, you can pick some from this half and take them away as souvenirs." ”

Hu Donglai's face changed suddenly.

Yan Kaiting didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "You don't have to come here again in the future." ”

Hu Donglai quietly clenched his five fingers and said calmly: "Mansion Master, can you ask why?"

"Because I'm the lord of the house. ”

Hu Donglai was stunned and said in a deep voice: "My authority is given by the old mansion master!"

Yan Kaiting took a paperweight on the table and played with it, and said casually: "I'm just reminding you that the Yan family's bloodline can reset the magic circle, and the old authority will naturally become invalid." If you're not careful, I don't know what the circle here will look like. ”

Hu Dong is not as powerful as others, what else is there to say, stay and bring humiliation on yourself. He didn't take anything either, and after taking his leave, he turned around and left.

Yan Kaiting suddenly stopped him, his elbows were propped on the table, his ten fingers crossed against his chin, and he said curiously: "Do I look so easy to bully?

Hu Donglai stopped, turned back slowly, and said, "The lord of the mansion must be reasonable and evidence-based when he speaks and does things. You blamed me outside for no reason, and your subordinates didn't dare to say much for the sake of the face of the craftsman's house. But in the mansion, there is also the Xia Division, and there is also the Collation Council! Now that the city defense war is near, it is not good to make extraneous branches, and so on, together with the termination of the contract by the Fang Craftsman, but there must be an explanation at the meeting to serve the public. ”

Yan Kaiting listened quietly, put his finger against his forehead, and laughed deeply, "I thought I was already very naïve and ridiculous, it turns out that there are people who are more pure than me." Why do you think I need to reason with you?"

Hu Donglai suddenly burst into anger and said with a red face: "Why are you sitting there teaching me? What am I inferior to you?

Yan Kaiting said slowly: "You are his apprentice, so you think you are half a son?"

Hu Donglai's eyes gradually turned red, and he said in a deep voice: "Am I his half-son or something else, you know it in your heart!"

Yan Kaiting's face still had that lazy and smiling expression, and his eyes were full of ice and snow, "I don't understand." You can say it out loud. ”

Hu Donglai shook his head abruptly, turned around and left.

After a while, as if sensing that no one was moving in the room, the half-open door gently closed by itself.

"Master Xiang, Master Xia," Yan Kaiting muttered in a low voice, and then let out a sneer of unknown meaning.

His biological father's surname is Xiang, but for a long time, almost no one has mentioned it. The old mansion master of Yan Mansion in Yujing City, the affectionate ones call him Junsheng, the alienated ones call him the empty master, and the rest are called the mansion masters.

Yan Kaiting lazily leaned back on the back of the chair, half sitting and half lying, his eyes swept over and over again from the room. Finally, it landed on the penny the size of a basin on the beam overhead.

The black-out shark silk is pulled aside by a towing cable, and the patterned fabric floats in the air like a colorful cloud, with a delicate knot at the edge, and a hollow jade buckle at the center.

However, Yan Kaiting had already seen clearly at this time that it was actually a jade jue with no lines. If it is on a dark background such as peacock blue, it will be lined with precious light, but on the main color of the elegant silk, it will look inconspicuous.

It was a jade jue with the same style and texture as the one seen on the feather coat in the "Flower Temple" to the Yao House.
