Chapter 119: Father and Son
It's just that when An Luofu's gaze fell on the wine glass in Zhuo Qingtan's hand, he suddenly frowned again.
"Senior sister, if you have to toast, you can count the etiquette, and I will toast for you."
Zhuo Qingtan smiled.
"Child's words. You are you, I am me. You and An Shishu are father and son, how can you toast your father for me, an outsider? Where is the reasoning?"
An Luofu frowned, and finally had to say, "Okay, but you can only have one drink."
The content of opium poppy in Huan Podan is relatively large, and it is not only difficult to drink tea after taking it, but also collides with the wine.
Not only is it easy to cause people to be hyperactive or intoxicated, but it is more likely to stimulate greater medicinal properties.
Zhuo Qingtan looked at this junior brother who had grown up quite helplessly, and nodded slowly.
She couldn't help but feel a little emotional, in the past, she was always worried everywhere, and carefully taught and told them to act.
Now, the younger brothers and sisters seem to have grown up overnight, and they have begun to take charge of themselves, and they can even take care of her.
An Pinhan, who was sitting silently and drinking, saw Zhuo Qingtan and An Luofu walking towards him with a jade cup, and his eyebrows couldn't help but move slightly.
When Zhuo Qingtan walked up to him and was about to salute, he had already stretched out his hand in time to block it slightly, shook his head slightly, and said:
"Virtuous niece, don't be polite."
At this time, because Xie Yuci was drinking by himself on the high platform, and did not restrain the Xianmen disciples below, the Chaohui Hall had gradually become lively again.
Acquaintances and relatives or acquaintances of Xianmen left the table one after another, toasting each other, Zhuo Qingtan and their actions blended into everyone, but it was not abrupt.
When Zhuo Qingtan faced the head of Jiusheng Mountain, his eyes were also full of warmth.
She held the jade cup in both hands, gently raised her chin, drank the thin wine in the glass, then put down the wine glass, and said softly:
"Uncle Shi, thank you."
Thank you for your trust and understanding.
Thank you for your efforts to protect each other. qs
An Pinhan shook his head gently, he also drank the wine in the cup, everything was silent, and then said lightly:
"Between us, don't talk about that."
Zhuo Qingtan suddenly smiled and nodded, "Yes."
She tilted her head to look to her side and gestured with her eyes.
An Luofu was silent for a moment, and finally took a step forward and raised the jade cup in his hand.
「...... Father, the child toasts you with a glass of wine. I wish you good health and good fortune."
An Pinhan quietly looked at his son, who was already taller than him, and his eyes slipped from his warm and jade-like face very seriously, then turned his head and nodded very coldly.
An Luo was silent for a moment, as if he had expected his attitude.
He drank the wine in his glass, slowly took a step back, and stood behind Zhuo Qingtan again.
Zhuo Qingtan frowned slightly when he saw this, as if he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say.
She turned her back to An Luofu, shook her head slightly at An Pinhan, and said softly in disagreement, "...... Uncle Shi."
An Pinhan was slightly silent, he knew what she meant, but ......
He lowered his head and chuckled suddenly, the lines on his lips clear.
"This kid still listens to you. If you hadn't held him, he might not have come to give me this wine."
Zhuo Qingtan immediately shook his head when he heard this: "Uncle Shi, Luo Fu is a very filial good boy, and he is often worried about your body.
A few months ago, I went to the south to practice, and I specially brought you medicinal wine to treat the disease of cold legs. I'm sure you've already used it, right?
The same is true of Hano, who made a pair of knee pads for you out of pelican feathers last year, and asked the juniors to bring them with them when they go out to get rid of them, so that they can be delivered to you before the snowfall."
An Pinhan's expression loosened slightly, and he seemed to be touched by Zhuo Qingtan's words.
But after a moment, he shook his head lightly and smiled very faintly.
"Virtuous nephew
Female, over the years, Brother Lu and you have taught their brothers and sisters very well. As a father, I don't have anything to worry about."
Zhuo Qingtan shook his head and said softly, "Master taught us a lot of intentions, but Qingtan didn't do anything.
Moreover, Luo Fu and Yu Nong are righteous and benevolent, and their characters are very similar to Uncle Shi. Even if there is no one to guide and discipline, it will not be bad."
An Pinhan chuckled lightly when he heard this, shook his head lightly and said:
"Cheongdam, you don't have to say nice things about them. What kind of virtue are the two of them, I know very well as a father.
Their brothers and sisters have not been worry-free children since they were children, and they often make Jiusheng Mountain a mess.
...... It's just that Neiko is very spoiled with children, and almost raised them crookedly. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have agreed to you taking them back to the Duanxu Palace, and let Brother Qi Ju treat me to discipline these unscrupulous children."
An Luofu frowned when he heard this, and he suddenly said coldly: "Master and Senior Sister are naturally very good at teaching and taking care of me and my sister.
Unlike others, they will only reprimand and scold us with a cold face, or punish us for confinement."
Zhuo Qingtan immediately frowned and warned, "Luofu!"
The slight kind smile on An Pinhan's face before had disappeared at this time.
But An Luofu stubbornly pursed his lips tightly, although he didn't say anything offensive to An Pinhan because of Zhuo Qingtan's cold face, but his expression at this time was very clear...... He didn't think he was wrong.
He always remembers...... Since their mother passed away, An Pinhan no longer wants to see their siblings, let alone get close to them in the slightest.
At that time, they had just lost their mother, and they were too young to understand life and death.
When children do not see their mothers, they often cry and cause trouble. If they had done too much, their father would order them to be taken to the ancestral hall of the Jiusheng Mountain Sect Temple to be punished and confined to their knees.
At the beginning of the confinement, the two siblings were children no taller than the knees of adults.
They cried in the dark temple all day long in front of the tablets of the ancestors, but their father never relented.
The more strict the father became, the more rebellious the siblings became.
Tossed around like this for a few years, until one day, their brother and sister annoyed their father again and were imprisoned in the dark and solemn ancestral hall of the patriarch of Jiusheng Mountain for many days.
My father was so angry that he cut off their water.
His sister Hano was still stiff-mouthed at first, but then suddenly one day she said that she missed her mother, and then squatted in the corner and cried silently alone.
In fact...... Mother has been gone for so long that they have long forgotten what their mother looked like.
I only remember the hands that often hold them in my memory, and they seem to be very warm.
At that moment, the door of the ancestral hall of the ancestral hall of the temple suddenly "creaked" and slowly pushed open.
A girl who was not a few years older than them in a cloud-white Duxu Palace robe stood against the light and looked at them calmly.
