June 19th of the seventh year of Tiansheng is not a big day, if you want to say a big day, it will be ten days later, it will be You Fang's eighteenth birthday, and it will also be the day when he will have a coming-of-age ceremony, accept the canonization of the envoy of Wuling County, and become the city lord of Qixia City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Standing in the backyard of the Katsuji Garden full of flowers and plants, the smell of various herbs came to the nose, and when I raised my head, the blue and clear sky was like a pool of jasper, cloudless, or this sky, bound by the square frame, could not see a trace of clouds.

A line of cloud swallows flew through the empty sky in a crooked cross.

"Young master, the wild goose is flying high, this is a happy event. A clear voice came from the herb field not far away, and You Fang didn't need to look at it, but he knew that the person who spoke was the little servant who served him, Guan Yan.

I still remember that when he went out to play five years ago, he saw a few big beggars on the side of the road beating a little beggar with a yellow face and thin muscles, and out of sympathy, he took this kid back to the city lord's mansion, and asked his father You Shaoqing to agree and accept him as a servant.

That night, until he fell asleep after eating, You Fang always felt that the atmosphere in the City Lord's Mansion was strange.

The next day, I learned that there was actually a great war between Shangjing Province and the Outer Heavens, and the Shangjing Daoist accepted the emperor's edict and summoned the monks and secular troops under his rule to fight.

As the city lord of Qixia City, You Shaoqing is in charge of the cultivation world and the secular Niu Er in Qixia City, so he naturally serves as the commander and takes everyone to participate in the war.

Now five years have passed, the war has long ended, You Shaoqing has not been heard from again, and his mother Lan Yingying also died of illness two years ago.

It was from then on that the City Lord's Mansion of Qixia City was no longer what it used to be...... has become unfamiliar, and the reason for it is best known to Youfang.

Looking at Guan Yan who came out of the medicine field with a small hoe, he was dressed in a navy blue corset robe, and his black boots only showed that his short legs were even shorter, and his long hair was combed into a small tuck on his head, like a swollen bag, which was a common appearance of people in the house.

Roughly speaking, Guan Yan is smaller than You Fang, and his physique is also a little slender, and You Fang has always been puzzled by this.

Even though the position of Kejiyuan in the city lord's mansion is embarrassing, now there are only two masters and servants, and the food and clothing are naturally not as good as before, but they have never been lacking.

On the other hand, You Fang's hair was casually draped, the ice blue satin robe, the robe revealed the white auspicious cloud pattern trim, and the jade belt was tied around the waist, but the ivory folding fan that should be held in his hand was replaced with a small medicine hoe, which made his son's wealth mixed with some dusty smell, but it also revealed a bit of lazy casual bearing.

You Fang smiled silently, did not look at Guan Yan who came over, his eyes did not know where to fall, and a trace of worry flashed in Xinghe's brilliant eyes.

Guan Yan's face was full of pride, he squinted at the southwest direction, and said indignantly: "In ten days, young master, you will be an adult, and at that time, the seats that some people have been occupying must be returned to their original owners, young master, you have to let those guys who look down on people see who is the waste ......"

You Fang handed over the medicine hoe in his hand and interrupted Guan Yan's words. Guan Yan knew that he had made a mistake, and while taking the medicine hoe, he quietly glanced at You Fang's face.

"Mother named you Guanyan, I hope you can observe words and colors, be cautious in words and deeds, and don't just look at things on the surface! Besides, I am indeed a waste, the children of the eldest uncle and the third uncle have passed the test of the academy to which the Nine Divisions belong, and they have good qualifications and can enter the door of cultivation, and I have been brushed down early in the morning, although thanks to my father Yu Yin, I have the qualifications to inherit the position of the city lord, but with me, how can I serve the public?"

"Who dares to disagree? Young master, you are so smart, and you look talented, and the most important thing is that you are the only son of the old city lord, you inherit the position of the city lord, that is justifiable, who dares to disagree!" Guan Yan was anxious and almost jumped up.

You Fang looked at Guan Yan's feet worriedly, really worried that this guy didn't know the severity and trampled the herbs he had planted with great difficulty, and frowned and said, "What do you have?"

Sure enough, eating is the weakness of Guanyan, and he was calmed down with a word, and he became honest in an instant, however, the worry in You Fang's heart did not disappear.

"It's not too early, go to the kitchen and bring back dinner, remember, don't be greedy, and eat together when you come back." Looking at the sky, You Fang commanded.

"Got it, young master, every time you go to tell me like this, the little one already knows. Hearing the meal, Guan Yan's eyebrows suddenly danced, and he rushed out of the backyard with two medicine hoes in his arms.

Looking at the appearance of Guan Yan's burning tail, You Fang only felt funny, there are some things, don't tell this guy who is missing a tendon.

Although the possibility of the eldest uncle and the third uncle poisoning him is very small, firstly, there are still five clan elders in the You family alive, and secondly, You Shaoqing only lost the news and did not confirm his death, although You Shaojing and You Shaogong have controlled Qixia City for many years, and the two also need to be wary of each other.

It's just that it's different now, there are only ten days left, and I'm afraid it won't be long before the uncle and the third uncle can't help but do it.

Since Lan Yingying's burial, You Fang has never stepped out of the Garden of Self-denial, and only said that it was for her mother's funeral, which also meant to protect her life.

Walking slowly under the porch, towards the building that looked like gold dust in the sunset, the long figure gradually blended into the shadows.

The candlesticks on the altar were lit, and the dim light of the candles illuminated the empty room, and a stick of incense was placed in front of the mother's shrine, and the swimmer sat down on his knees on the futon in the center of the house.

"Mother, I'm afraid the child won't be able to keep the three-year filial piety period for you, I hope you are in the spirit of the sky, and you can bless the child to take the ...... smoothly" At this moment, You Fang heard footsteps behind him, so he stopped talking and bowed respectfully to the spiritual seat a few times.

Guan Yan walked in from the courtyard with a food box, just as You Fang stood up, Guan Yan hurriedly put the food box in his hand on the table next to him.

"Young master, who do you guess I met on the way back?"

You Fang glanced at the food box, walked over, and said casually: "Who else can it be, it is none other than my third uncle." ”

I opened the food box, sniffed the smell, took out a bag from my sleeve robe, took out the chopsticks inside, and prepared to check it as usual.

Guan Yan's eyes widened, and he looked at You Fang sluggishly, and it took a long time to come to his senses, and he said in a puzzled tone: "Young Master, how do you know?

"Naughty, how can you talk to the young master?" After checking all the food, You Fang turned around and glared at Guan Yan fiercely.

"Good young master, it's a small mistake, you tell me. Guan Yan had long been accustomed to it, and quickly stepped forward to take the food out of the food box and put it away.

"What's so hard to guess about this, in the past, here in Xiyuan, you should have seen everything, and I haven't seen anything rare about you, the appearance when you came back today must have seen outsiders, who else will there be besides the third uncle?"

Pulling out the chair, You Fang sat down, and continued: "Let's eat, you always can't wait in the past, can it be that you still tell me about the master and servant today?"

Guan Yan also sat down, but he still didn't pick up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at You Fang, and said: "Young master, there are so many people in the City Lord's Mansion, even if it's not from Xiyuan, I know some, not to mention that I was also mixed in the streets and alleys in my early years, and there are many people I know in Qixia City who have gone to the sea, how can you be sure that what I see is the third master?"

"Since you let me guess, it means that I know this person, I have been staying in Keji Garden for the past few years, how many people can I know? What can you be excited about, isn't there only the third uncle who has never entered Xiyuan all these years?" Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, You Fang looked at Guan Yan angrily, "Okay, eat!"

"Young Master, you are really amazing!" Guan Yan gave You Fang a thumbs up, with an expression of admiration on his face, and said, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the dishes on the table, and immediately swallowed his saliva, "Young Master, I can't help it, eat first." ”

The unnaturalness on You Fang's face flashed, and he looked at Guan Yan's gobbling up, and said with a smile: "Eat, eat more, it's not enough, and then go to the kitchen to get it, it's easier than before." ”

After that, he also picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to eat, when he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a figure appeared in the corner of his eye.

"The eldest young master and eat slowly, the eldest master and the third master set up a banquet in Xiangchang Garden, and invited the eldest young master to come over the house for a while. ”

Hearing the slightly old voice of the visitor, You Fang's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, put down the chopsticks, and saw that the person had already entered the room by himself, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Finally, you can't help but do it?
