Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 15
However, he didn't want the relationship with Yin Yuan to be so deadlocked, so that his stepfather was caught in the middle and angry, so even if he was uncomfortable, he still came to Yin Yuan's room with a plate, and knocked on the door with a free hand: "Elder, can I come in?" ”
There was silence inside for a long time, so long that Ouyang Qian thought that there was no one inside, and then he heard a deep voice: "Come in." ”
Ouyang Qian pushed the door in, and Yin Yuan sat on the main seat, holding a painting from a long time ago in his hand, looking at it in a daze.
Ouyang Qian walked up to him and handed over the tea obediently: "This is the new tea I just brewed, it is the tea from the outside tribute, the elder tastes it fragrant." ”
"Let it go." Yin Yuan lukewarmly lowered his chin, and Ouyang Qian put the tea on the table in frustration.
Looking back at the picture on the painting, a wealthy couple sat on a stone bench, looking at the two children playing in front of them with loving faces, the two children were only three or four years old, and the simple smile on their little faces made people laugh.
"Who is this drawing?" Ouyang Qian leaned in and took a look.
Yin Yuan raised the corner of his eye and glanced at Ouyang Qian, Ouyang Qian, who was looking at him with cold eyes, panicked, and hurriedly bowed down and took a step back.
"Now that no one else is here, you don't have to pretend to be pitiful, put away the way you dealt with Jian Yu!" Yin Yuan's words are sharp and unceremonious, Ouyang Qian knows his identity, Yu Gong, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he is just a prince with no real power, Yu Zhi, he is the master of his father-in-law, what a noble identity, and he is just a grass people.
Ouyang Qian's eyes darkened slightly, forcing himself to ignore the hostility in his words, bowing down and saying, "Ziyi can't speak, please ask the elders for more guidance, and I will definitely change my way in the future." ”
Yin Yuan stared at Ouyang Qian coldly, as if he was going to freeze him into ice slag, he really couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out why this kid was so loved by Jian Yu. Although he is good-looking and has a smooth personality, after all, he is from an unknown place, and Jian Yu has no suspicion about such a strange thing, which shows how clever he is at bluffing.
Ouyang Qian was extremely uncomfortable in his cold gaze, and couldn't help but bow his waist slightly and take a step back, this step Yin Yuan naturally saw in his eyes, and sneered: "Your deferential and deceitful appearance is really hateful, at such a young age, I don't believe that I can't wait for the day when your fox tail is exposed." ”
Ouyang Qian didn't know that Yin Yuan suspected his life experience, but he didn't know what he was just born about, he just listened to them, and vaguely remembered that his father-in-law said that although he was discarded, his clothes were just right, and he couldn't freeze in the swaddling clothes, and there were small clothes and shoes sewn in the swaddling clothes, as well as a jade pendant, which he had been wearing for so many years, so Elder Yinyuan suspected that he was an agent who had been planted by others beside his father-in-law.
Although it was inexplicable, after all, Yin Yuan was also thinking about Yuan Guo and his father-in-law, so Ouyang Qian didn't have too strong disgust, but just felt a little aggrieved. Obviously, he is the one who was abandoned, and he was not arranged by someone in the Yuan Kingdom, if it wasn't for his father-in-law picking him up, he would probably freeze to death in that snow, but he still had to bear these senseless suspicions, doubting his intentions again and again. Because Yin Yuan has always treated himself like this, Ouyang Qian didn't think about sticking to his cold bench before, but now that his father-in-law has spoken, and he is also older, if he blindly disagrees with him again, I am afraid that his future career will be unfavorable, and the master-apprentice relationship between Yu Yinyuan and his father-in-law will not be good. Ouyang Qian is also a person who would rather be wronged than have his father-in-law dumped in the face, as a junior, he can only be humble in every way in order to seek the understanding of the hidden abyss.
Ouyang Qian knelt down with his clothes, a few strands of hair fluttered in front of his forehead, looking very gentle and harmless: "Elder, Ziyi has no father and mother since he was a child, he is really not a spy and a spy, if the elder still doesn't believe me, you can calm down and look at it, if you do something that endangers the Yuan Kingdom or my father-in-law in the future, the elder will kill me alive, and I won't have a word of complaint." ”
Yin Yuan snorted lightly, as if his words were ridiculous: "Killed you alive? How dare I do that? I dare to move a finger of yours, and how many people from all directions have come to fight with me. At a young age, I know how to win people's hearts so well, everything I know, which one doesn't speak to you? I don't need you to kneel here, get out. ”
Ouyang Qian's nose was sour, he didn't understand why he had never made any big mistakes since he was a child, and why Yin Yuan hated himself so much.
"What does the elder want me to do to get rid of the mustard?"
"Simple, I doubt your background, this is what you have always known, you can't show evidence that you are a child of a white family, don't blame me for not being able to let down my guard. You let me eliminate the mustard, it's okay, leave the palace, leave the capital, go far, and never step into the official career, so that I believe in you, I believe that you are high, and I believe that you are an ordinary person. Yin Yuan knew that it was impossible for him to agree, and sure enough, after Ouyang Qian heard this, he frowned slightly, pursed his lips and stopped talking.
"Can't do it? If you can't do it, let me out, and don't get in the way of eyes in front of me! Ouyang Qian slowly stood up, bowed to him, and then turned around and walked out.
Ouyang Qian returned to his room and was sullen, Yin Yuan wanted to know his life experience, I still want to know more, who can tell me? If you want to prove that your background is innocent, how can you prove it? Ouyang Qian thought of the jade pendant he had been wearing, the texture of this piece of jade was very rare and rare, and there must be a record of buying it, although more than ten years have passed, I don't know if there is a stub. Thinking of this, Ouyang Qian went out of the palace and found a shop that sold high-quality jade pendants, and asked him to help take a look, there was no record of buying this piece of jade, the boss checked for a long time, and found some lists, saying that this kind of jade is very rare, the price is expensive, and it is not something that can be bought just with money, and the area is relatively scattered, not only in the Yuan country, but also in other countries, so the hope of finding a buyer is very slim.
Ouyang Qian copied the list, thanked the boss and left, he wanted to secretly investigate his life experience, but he didn't want his father-in-law to know, his father-in-law had raised him for so many years, and he looked like his own child, if he knew that he might be looking for traces of his biological parents, he would be very disappointed.
In case, if you can really find the news of your father...... Ouyang Qian wasn't ready to accept their message, or maybe this piece of jade was not bought by them, but by their father and mother, and the signature was not theirs, how could he find it...... I don't know if they're still alive or dead, but if they do, I won't have a father or mother anymore, and they won't know my joys, sorrows, or sorrows......
Ouyang Qian was thinking crankily all the way with the list, and as he walked, he bumped into a person, and he almost sat on the ground with his butt, only to find that the person was Long Ting, and he was obviously not lightly hit, he took a few steps back, and found that it was Ouyang Qian, and immediately leaned over: "Old Qian? What's wrong, it's like losing your soul? ”
Ouyang Qian waved his hand casually: "It's okay......"
"What's this in your hand?" Long Ting took it and looked at it, "What's the name?" What is it for? ”
Ouyang Qian thought about it for only three seconds, but decided to tell Long Ting about it, Long Ting and he grew up wearing a pair of pants since childhood, the two were closer than brothers, Ouyang Qian wanted him to help him. The two went to the Dragon Mansion, and after listening to him, Long Ting was silent for a while, and then raised his head: "Okay, I'll help you." "Long Ting has a very good personal relationship with him, and he is a very close person on weekdays, although on the bright side, Long Ting still has to call Ouyang Qian His Highness, but Ouyang Qian is a kind person, naturally there are no rules to control him, and sometimes he is bullied often.
"Thank you." Ouyang Qian sincerely thanked him.
"Lend me your jade pendant for a while, no matter whether you can find the buyer of this jade pendant, I promise how it gets to me, how I will return it to you." Long Ting stretched out a hand, and Ouyang Qian took off the jade pendant without hesitation and handed it to him, "...... Good. ”
Long Ting saw that he was wandering outside the world, and felt that something was wrong, why did he suddenly want to investigate his life experience? He did not hesitate to use the hidden guards, and he must have been stimulated by something to check the buyer many years ago in such a big battle.
"Lao Qian, I'll help you, I want to help clearly, I won't do anything confusing, tell me, why do you suddenly want to check the origin of this jade pendant?"
Ouyang Qian raised his head, and his eyes revealed a little confusion: "Elder Yinyuan doubts my background, if I can give him the evidence of my innocence, he will no longer interfere with my career, otherwise he will let me leave the capital, and I will never be under the nose of my father-in-law, and I will not be allowed to enter the career, so that he can eliminate the mustard for me, and only then can I believe that I am harmless to the Yuan Kingdom and harmless to my father-in-law......"
"I've heard my father say before, Elder Yinyuan suffered a lot of betrayal when he was young, those people are used to acting, and they can't see the clues on weekdays, but they show their true colors at critical moments, so we have lost a lot of people in the Yuan Kingdom, so he is too careful, don't go to your heart, don't listen to his two words, you feel uncomfortable, do you hear?"
"No...... I'm just curious......" Ouyang Qian pulled the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that said he didn't laugh or cry, "If my father and mother are still alive, how should I face them...... Wouldn't I be sad if they weren't there......"
"If they're still alive, how are you going to deal with it, if they go to heaven, you're still the same as you are now, you haven't lost anything." Long Ting was always so convincing when he was serious, and looked at Ouyang Qian with a sincere and serious face, "Old Qian, you don't need to make changes for anyone, you are you, there is only one you in the world, and the people who really care about you will not ask you to change yourself to what they like, and you have no obligation to become what others like." Whether your father and mother are still there, or your father and mother are not there, you are the current Ouyang Qian, do you know? But many people are rare about you. ”
When he said this, Ouyang Qian felt a lot relieved, yes, there is not much difference between having a father and a mother for himself, even if he doesn't...... It's just my current life.
"I see, thank you, Long Ting, you can always explain me a lot."
Long Ting nodded: "Wait for the news honestly, I hope that no matter whether there is a result or not, you can treat it calmly, Lao Tzu has to ask you about these lists even if he breaks his leg, don't worry." ”
"yes, okay."
Long Ting's eyes moved, but he still opened his mouth and said, "You asked me to secretly investigate, are you afraid that the emperor will be unhappy if he finds out?" Are you afraid that he will think that he has raised you for so many years? Raised you, went to find your own father? ”
"Although the father-in-law is righteous on the surface, in fact, his mind is still quite delicate, who is it, who is the one who takes the eldest child to find his father and mother everywhere, and his heart will respond, right? I don't want to have any rift with my father-in-law, even if I still have my father and mother alive, my father-in-law is the most important thing in my heart, and I don't want my godfather to know that I'm doing this until I am sure of the outcome, so as not to make him sad in vain. ”
Long Ting nodded, looking very reasonable: "That's right, sometimes the emperor's heart is not as big as a mung bean, and it is impossible to say if it will really taste it when the time comes." ”
"I'm sorry for you, I've always left everything to you like this." Ouyang Qian smiled a little guiltily, and Long Ting shook the list, "I feel sorry for me, next time I add one more digit to my list, then I will be happy." ”
Knowing that Long Ting was joking, Ouyang Qian still smiled lightly: "Okay." ”
