Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 65
Twelve was a little flustered when he came back again to report: "Master, when the young master served the plate, he was scalded with boiling oil, it looked not light, and his arm was red a lot, and it was estimated that it was going to bubble......"
"Did he go get the medicine?" Yuan Zhen asked with a frown.
"There's a medicine shop closest to Yunxi Tower, he guesses he'll go there......"
The doctor showed him, frowned and said, "Ouch, how is this, scalding like this!" He took out the ointment and rubbed it on him, it hurt terribly when he touched it, but after applying it, it was cold and cold, Ouyang Qian gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of his father-in-law walking towards this side, and he was so frightened that he withdrew his arm in a panic to escape, and collided with Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen grabbed him, condescending, and his breath sprayed on Ouyang Qian's face: "What are you running?" He looked up and down his clothes, which were the clothes he was working on the upper floor of Yunxi, and said angrily, "Where have you been these days?" ”
"I ......" Ouyang Qian swallowed nervously, I don't know what's going on, I got up early and greedy for darkness for so long, sent people under the fence, shouldn't I be wronged and throw myself into my father-in-law's arms and cry bitterly? But he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at him, and he didn't know why he was so afraid.
"What's wrong with you? What are you doing here? Yuan Zhen saw his wound and asked knowingly.
"It's okay, I accidentally burned it, come get some medicine." Ouyang Qian replied in a dry voice, not daring to raise his eyes from beginning to end, always shrinking his neck, and his waist was not straight.
"Let me see." Yuan Zhen picked up his hot hand, and his arm was red and swollen, and several large blisters appeared. Yuan Zhen was silent for a while and pulled him to leave, "Come home with me." ”
"I ...... I still have to go to work......" Ouyang Qian stood blankly and refused to leave.
"What a job! Have I shortened your eating and drinking? Do these rough jobs of serving tea and water outside! Yuan Zhen turned around and scolded with hatred that iron is not steel.
Ouyang Qian even stepped back, and said timidly: "I have lived in Yunxi Building for so long, and I haven't given the boss any money, he said that I can help there, and I can offset the ...... of food and housing" He secretly glanced at Yuan Zhen's face, and emphasized as if he was afraid that he would not believe it, "The boss is very good, see that I have a fever and give me medicine...... also told me to eat well, don't be afraid of ......" After speaking, he was confused as if the whole person was empty, and somehow, he found that he didn't want to go back to the palace, the palace...... Not your own home, to be precise...... I just stayed there, just like I was staying in Yunxi Building now.
"You're going to give me another one?" As soon as Yuan Zhen glared, Ouyang Qian didn't dare to move, and Yuan Zhen continued to drag him away, "I will send someone to send the money." He took a piece of silver from his waist and put it on the table, and walked out.
Yuwangfu
The food came up, Yuan Zhen carefully smeared the medicine on him, and then said angrily and distressedly: "It's only been a few days since I went out, and I have lost weight like this, my hair is frizzy, and my arm that can be hot when serving a plate is a big red piece." ”
Ouyang Qian became even more silent after coming back from outside, and just blindly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
He just eats dry rice when he eats, this time it really scared him, he always thought that his father-in-law would always tolerate him before he was kicked out, just like other people's fathers, no matter how the father and son make trouble, they will not kick people out of the house. But this time I realized that I had no qualifications to oppose my father-in-law at all, my father-in-law gave me food, and I could live, and if my father-in-law didn't give me food, I could only starve to death.
How did Yuan Zhen know that this incident hit him so hard, only when he reflected on his mistakes, he was so obedient. Seeing that he kept lowering his head to shave rice and not eat vegetables, he reached out to pick up vegetables for him: "Why don't you eat vegetables?" ”
"I'll just eat rice...... You eat, you eat, I can reach ......" Ouyang Qian stopped shaving rice, and replied with a slight bow, very well-behaved, but there was a subtle feeling, that feeling, like humbleness.
"Eat, eat, don't be pitiful, it's over when you turn the page, can you still remember it?" Yuan Zhen was sour in his heart, glaring at him blamefully, and feeling a little lost in his heart. I thought he would beg for mercy with him, but I didn't expect that he was just blindly obedient, but there was no intimacy.
"Thank you, Father." Ouyang Qian picked up the chopsticks again, but only sandwiched the two vegetarian dishes in front of him.
It's only been a few days away from home, how can the little monkey become so restrained? Don't dare to move like a guest. Yuan Zhen felt that the son who was usually close to him seemed to be left outside.
"You eat meat, I see you've been hungry and thin these days." Yuan Zhen sandwiched the braised pork into his bowl, and he solemnly stopped his chopsticks and bowed down to thank him every time, "Thank you, father-in-law, I'll just come by myself......"
There is no smile, no usual carelessness, as if he is the emperor and he is a commoner. This taste is not pleasant, Yuan Zhen pursed his lips: "Qian'er, are you deliberately looking for your father-in-law's unhappiness?" ”
"I didn't ......" Ouyang Qian put down the dishes and chopsticks in a panic, got up and knelt on the ground, "I...... The child can't speak, please forgive the father......"
"Forgiveness? Is there any sin you have committed that I can forgive? Yuan Zhen put down his chopsticks, pulled him up, wanted him to relax, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and smiled slightly, "Why did you go out and be restrained with your father-in-law?" ”
"The child just remembered that he had contradicted his father-in-law many times before, and he felt that he was very unfilial, and he felt that he owed his father-in-law a lot......" Ouyang Qian looked down at the ground, but he felt that at this time, he was not as comfortable as a handyman in Yunxi Building.
"Okay, okay, don't remember, the past is gone." Yuan Zhen patted him on the shoulder to show comfort, "If you don't want to eat, go back to your room to rest, wander outside for a while, and have a good rest." ”
Ouyang Qian was lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep at all, in his own home, lying on his own bed, Ouyang Qian felt that all this was not his own, as long as his father-in-law wanted to, he could even die immediately. Why wasn't this realized before? Why did it ...... before? Although there are no rules, I really feel that my father-in-law is close to me, but now...... But he felt that his father-in-law was out of reach......
barrack
Gu Qiong's chestnut finger flicked and smashed into Ouyang Qian's head, Ouyang Qian was startled, and said with a frown: "What kind of nerves?" ”
Gu Qiong chuckled and said, "Why have you been mentally exhausted lately?" Didn't you still face the spring tide a while ago? How? Played too often and collapsed? ”
Ouyang Qian rolled his eyes: "What kind of messy thing, is there anything wrong?" It's okay, don't bother me. ”
"Shhhh Boring! Gu Qiong raised his hand and threw a chestnut kernel into his mouth, "How is the recruit's file organized?" ”
"It's almost, I'll send it to the emperor later." Ouyang Qian said lightly.
"Qianshuai, I think you have a conflict with the emperor." Gu Qiong said with a determined face, Ouyang Qian just said no, Gu Qiong snorted, "You used to be tired, you were energetic every day, since you came back this time, you have been unhappy all day long, who else can affect your mood like this, except for the emperor's attitude?" ”
"I didn't." Ouyang Qian propped his elbows on the table, his fingers pressed his temples and rubbed them, he continued to serve in the military camp when he came back from outside, both of them were kicked out of the house This incident has not happened, Ouyang Qian also takes medicine and rests, and even forces himself to drink tonic soup, but his brain still hurts, and he feels as if he has never gotten better from that high fever, and he is very tired every day. The physical discomfort was partly due to this, and partly because he felt that although his stepfather had now called him back and allowed himself to call himself his stepfather and call himself a child, he was still under the fence. This is my father's home, not mine, he thought to himself.
If the father-in-law's biological child is about to be kicked out of the house, he can shout in a loud voice: "This is also my home, and I have to support me if you give birth." "And he can't do it, he doesn't have qualifications, he is very restrained even when eating, and he doesn't play in the house casually like before, and he will try not to touch anything he can. This kind of behavior made Yuan Zhen unhappy for a long time, but because he had just come back from outside, he didn't say anything.
If it were my own son, he would definitely not be so angry with me. Yuan Zhen thought in his heart, if only I had a child of my own, no matter how awkward the father and son were, no matter how different they were, they would not have changed from a good relationship at the beginning to what they are now, choking in their throats like a stone, unable to spit out and swallow. Just a few whips and kicks, and he hates me to such an extent? is obviously such a likable character, how do you look at it now, how do you feel like a nest, Yuan Zhen even feels that he has never been so cowardly, who has he suffocated himself for in his life? Except for him, there are no two of them, Ouyang Qian.
Thinking about Yuan Zhen and entering the palace, the desperate idea of having a child of his own made his brain explode, he felt that it was time to have a child of his own, so that he would not pin all his hopes on him alone, it would be good to have a biological child.
Ouyang Qian sorted out the recruit's files and went to tell Yuan Zhen, and knocked on the door when he went to the study, but Yuan Zhen didn't notice it, holding a piece of red and white jade in his hand, he couldn't see his emotions from behind. When he didn't get a response, he knocked on the door again and said, "Father-in-law, it's Qian'er, can I come in?" ”
Still didn't get a response, Ouyang Qian knocked again: "Father-in-law, I'm in?" ”
After waiting for a while, there was still no sound, Ouyang Qian thought that maybe his father-in-law was not at home, so he would put the file here first, and it would be the same when he came back, so he pushed the door and entered. Walking in the door, he saw Yuan Zhen standing in front of the window looking at a piece of jade, this jade looked like a first-class jade, beautiful and exquisite. Ouyang Qian rarely said a few words, cheered up, walked to him with the file, and couldn't help but praise: "This piece of jade is so beautiful." ”
Yuan Zhen was thinking about things in a hurry, and was startled by the sudden voice, and the jade in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into several halves.
Ouyang Qian was also startled, took a step back, looked at the broken jade with a panicked expression, and then looked at Yuan Zhen, this piece of jade looks very valuable, I'm afraid that the reward money from all these years will not be enough to buy it, plus the next few years Yu Lu doesn't know if he will have enough money to buy a new one and return it to him. Ouyang Qian was thinking wildly in his mind, Yuan Zhen had already walked to the broken jade with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Yuan Zhen, who was tall and handsome when he was young, put a green gem on Wei Xun's neck, and said softly in her ear while wearing it: "This is a dowry gift from my father to give to my future daughter-in-law." ”
Wei Xun smiled softly and shyly, and handed a carved piece of high-grade jade to Yuan Zhen: "I don't have anything good for you, this is not a priceless thing, it is my mother's dowry for my marriage......
Yuan Zhen stretched out his hand to take it and hugged Wei Xun in his arms: "From now on, you will be my wife......"
Wei Xun raised his head with a flushed face and said affectionately, "This is our love token, you must keep it well and don't break it, okay?" ”
"I'll take good care of it, and when we're all gray, I'll show it to you! I love you! The woman's smile was like a flower.

Yuan Zhen looked at the broken jade in a daze for a long time, then squatted down, picked up the broken jade, and choked out two words in his throat: "Ah Xun......"
