Yang Shouye has been guarding southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and his prestige inside and outside the capital is extremely heavy, but every time he returns to Beijing to report on his work, he comes and goes in a hurry, and few people can see him. Chu Nan couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw his father-in-law for the first time, he thought that such a powerful and famous man must be personable, but he couldn't see the slightest shadow of the Yang sisters from the body of this Yang general, and even Chu Nan doubted that the Yang Mei sisters were the flesh and blood of this ugly-faced, short, and fat lewd man.

Although the person is very stumbling, he really doesn't say anything about receiving people and things. Yang Shouye saw Chu Nan and his wife come in, and he didn't get excited to pull his daughter to his side to take a look, and then sighed, "Well, Mei'er has grown up, but she has lost weight", just looked at the two with warm eyes, neither indifferent nor enthusiastic, just like the farmer who returned from the field looked at his pride with relief, although she didn't say a word, Yang Mei couldn't help but burst into tears, knelt on the ground, respectfully bowed, got up to wipe away the tears, and said with a smile: "My daughter misses her father." ”

Yang Shouye helped Chu Nan, who was also kneeling, nodded and said to Yang Mei: "Well, I complained to my father if I didn't come up, and I saw that this kid didn't bully my daughter." ”

Chu Nan smiled stupidly, and said in his heart It's okay if your daughter doesn't bully me, how dare I show her face.

Yang Shouye instructed the two to sit down, and said a little apologetically: "Hey, my eldest daughter is married, and the father is not around, Mei'er, my father owes you." Uncle too, I was not in Beijing when you got married, if you are dissatisfied, say it, don't be wronged Mei'er. ”

Chu Nan hurriedly stood up, didn't dare to say anything, and whispered: "Lord Yuezhang is busy with military affairs, and we understand it as juniors." The son-in-law is shallow and ignorant, and every thought of not being able to contribute to the beam is terrified, how can it hold you back. ”

Yang Mei was confused by her father's words, and sobbed: "Father, you think too much. Everything is fine with my daughter. ”

Yang Shouye shook his head and said, "No, you're not good, your father knows." ”

Chu Nan began to be confused, this topic is really difficult to pick up, if you don't pay attention to it, you will commit a taboo, and I think that it is not me who has ruined the good things of Yangmei and Li Ling, even if I am angry, I can't send it to my head. Thinking of this, I was a little relieved, sat down and drank tea and waited for the following.

Yang Shouye glanced at Chu Nan and sighed: "Mei'er's thoughts are known to her father, but in her father's opinion, you and Li Ling are just children who are ignorant and take habits as natural. In fact, when I was a father, I just thought that I couldn't live without that person, and it was just a joke to look back a few years later. Hehe, you may not like your father's words, but you will understand it after a few years. For you young people, there are some roads that you have to walk on your own to understand. ”

Chu Nan couldn't help but have a good impression of his father-in-law, eh, don't think about it, it's not that kind of good feeling. Regarding the matter of Yangmei and Li Ling, he did not hide it, pretending not to know, but calmly spread it in front of the two, and even took out the things he was ashamed to say to people back then to enlighten Yangmei, this style is the way of an upright gentleman.

Yang Mei bowed her head and was silent, and thought for a long time before she spoke: "What my father said is that my daughter has also thought a lot about these words, although she has not seen it thoroughly as her father, but her daughter has no other ideas, and she will be the daughter-in-law of the Chu family." ”

Chu Nan was uncomfortably itchy, no matter how she listened to it, Yangmei's words seemed to mean that she was forced to accept her fate in desperation, and even vaguely had the meaning of breaking the jar and breaking it, which made Chu Nan frown when she heard it.

Yang Shouye looked at Chu Nan apologetically, and sighed: "My daughter has been very strong since she was a child, and this time my father sharpened her surname, but I never thought that I would be unhappy for so long." I thought about it, and my uncle didn't give in to him. ”

Chu Nan looked at the high-ranking and powerful General Yang talking about the shortcomings of his family, and naturally heard the bitterness of being a parent under his words, shook his head and said: "Although she often plays with a small surname, she has never been overly popular, and her father-in-law is too careful." ”

Yang Shouye listened and said again and again, at this time, he is completely a father who is anxious for his daughter's happiness, where is he like a general with more than 100,000 soldiers.

Yang Shouye called the housekeeper Fu Bo again, and instructed: "Go to my room and get the moon bow, I heard that my uncle was very brilliant when he performed martial arts in the palace, so take it as a meeting gift." A dignified man, even if he can't laugh and kill the field, he can't lose that brave spirit. ”

Fu Bo looked at Chu Nan and hesitated for a while, as if he had something to say, but after all, he couldn't bear to reduce his master's interest, but he couldn't help but secretly think that the good bow was not worth it.

Yang Shouye said with a smile: "The Chu family is also a martial arts heirloom, I heard that this strong bow is the latest production of Daliang, both in strength and range is extremely good, just give it to my uncle, and go to bend the bow and practice the sword in my spare time, so as not to fall into the ambition of Lingyun." ”

Chu Nan reluctantly took it, and secretly tried to pull it, and sure enough, the strength was more than twice as large as the ordinary strong bow, and he put it beside him stupidly, not daring to try it again.

======================== dividing line ==========================

Yang Shouye had lunch with Chu Nan very enthusiastically, perhaps in order to take care of Chu Nan's face, the banquet was full of some trivial words from the parents and some things from southern Xinjiang, without the slightest meaning of comparison, which made Chu Nan secretly relieved. What reassured Chu Nan even more was that the brother-in-law who hated him very much was grounded by Yang Shouye, and there was no embarrassment for Chu Nan.

After a brief lunch, Yang Shouye went to take a nap according to the habit of being in southern Xinjiang, signaling Chu Nan and the two to be casual and not to say goodbye to him when they left.

Chu Nan believed that he would walk a hundred steps after dinner and live to ninety-nine, so he walked back and forth in the courtyard, and Yangmei reluctantly followed behind in order to maintain the loving appearance of the two.

Chu Nan walked forward and backward, constantly probing his brain, as if he was looking for something.

Standing in the shade of the tree, Yangmei frowned and watched Chu Nan walk around, and couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking for?"

Chu Nan stopped and said embarrassedly: "I'm looking for Amber, I'm usually elusive, and I haven't seen anyone for so long today, it's strange." ”

Amber is definitely a very unique existence in the Yang family, he only serves Yang Lie, and his qualifications are extremely old, no one dares to call him, so he has always been very idle. But Chu Nan found Amber very interesting, you may see him in a daze when you enter the gate of Yang's mansion, you go to the backyard and find him walking in the garden, just after a while, he ran to Yang Lie's small courtyard to serve tea and pour water, really haunted like a ghost, it is scary to think about.

Yangmei frowned, this is Yang Lin walked in in a hurry, called her brother-in-law sweetly, and ran to Yangmei's side to be coquettish, the beautiful sister flowers look pleasing to the eye, but unfortunately they can be seen and eaten.

Chu Nan walked in and asked about Amber, Yang Lin laughed and said, "Yes, Amber is injured, and he can't come out to pretend to be a ghost anymore." ”

Yang Mei patted Yang Lin's head angrily and said, "Amber is an elder, how can he gloat." Since marrying into the Chu family, Yang Mei is no longer the cold and strict housekeeper eldest lady, she is very concerned about the upper and lower levels of the Yang Mansion, and when she heard that Amber was injured, she hurriedly instructed Yang Lin to lead the way to visit Amber.

Amber lives in a corner of Yang Lie's small courtyard, and as soon as he walks into the door, he smells a rotten smell that cannot be concealed, not the smell of mold after a long time, but the smell of old age and dying wood.

Seeing that Amber was sleeping quietly, the three of them cautiously walked into the hut, for fear of startling the old man.

Chu Nan heard that there are often top powerhouses around a big man like Yang Lie to protect him, so this Amber may be the kind of master who is deeply hidden, although it seems that he doesn't know any martial arts, but it is not that the martial arts are practiced to an extremely high place and return to the basics, Chu Nan has seen the Pope on the temple of the Northwest Snow Mountain from a distance, and it looks as ordinary as Amber, but it is the number one great master in the world.

Chu Nan secretly thought about what level of strong man can fight Amber is bedridden, is he a grandmaster-level assassin in Yingzhou?Hu Ren's mysterious golden wolf knight?Or is it a hidden powerhouse in the palace? Thinking of this, Chu Nan coughed lightly, and asked cautiously: "Amber has gone to the east?"

Yang Lin tilted her head and wondered, "Yes, but how do you know?"

Chu Nan's heart shook, and he continued to pretend not to care: "What big man did An Bo go to meet?"

Yang Lin frowned, a little dazed, and said, "Big man, uh, it should be counted." ”

Chu Nan lowered his head at this time, thinking in his heart that it must be the great master of Yingzhou. After turning his mind, he began to feel uneasy again, a strong man as powerful as Amber must have heard the conversation between himself and Yang Lin, what should I do? Chu Nan thought about it, such a master is not hostile to him, wouldn't it be great if he was willing to give him advice? Thinking about it, he walked to Amber's bed without hesitation, and solemnly hugged his fists and said: "Senior martial arts master, please also ask your senior for advice!"

The two sisters were stunned, looked at each other suspiciously, and finally Yang Lin couldn't help asking, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing here?"

Chu Nan sneered and said, "Don't try to lie to me, Amber is a martial arts master......, right?

Yang Lin was a little puzzled, and interrupted: "What martial arts master? What kind of grandmaster-level assassin? Amber just went to the east gate of the city to pick up his father into the city, and when he got out of the carriage, he broke his leg, he doesn't know martial arts at all." ”

Chu Nan pursed his lips, looked at the two sisters with strange faces and Amber who was still sleeping soundly, seemed to realize that something was wrong, couldn't help but cover his face with his hands, and moaned: "God, what did I do?!
