Back then, as a traitor, Yan Du used the power in his hands to coerce and lure, or to bully others with power, in short, he gathered a lot of resources to seek huge profits.

Qian Zhuang, iron smelters, cargo ships going to sea, caravans, etc., he has a lot of properties under his name, but he actually doesn't love money, after all, he didn't even love his own life at that time.

Although these industries are controlled by him, in fact, Shangguan Xu has installed a lot of his own people, Yan Du probably knows about it, but he doesn't care. Therefore, when he fell into the hands of the imperial court and was sent to Beijin, these properties were immediately taken over by Shangguan Xu.

"He took so much from you, as long as we go back to this orchid garden, he won't not pay it back." Liu Yunxiang said this, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart.

She didn't know about Shangguan Xu, she only felt that this person was very contradictory. As the overseer of the West Factory, he is feared by everyone, but he always smiles and groans, and looks very kind. He raised Yan Dusk and loved him very much, but he designed to frame him, and even killed him again and again. And when he was an uncle to Qin Fei, he really tried his best, but once she saw Shangguan Xu and Qin Fei together, he was cold on his face, and there was even a little disgust in his eyes.

This person is hard to see.

"To this day, I can't figure out why he saved me when Yan's mansion was copied."

Moreover, he taught him scheming, tempered his will, and gave him space to exert himself, if it was to clear some obstacles for Qin Feishi, he taught him too much, so much that he could not control him.

Yan Dusk said this, his eyes became a little colder, what was more terrible than betrayal and framing was betrayal and framing from the people he trusted and closest to him.

When he came to the governor's mansion, the porter saw Yan Dui, and subconsciously shouted: "Seventh master." ”

After being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly changed his words and saluted, and asked them to wait outside the gate of the mansion for a while, and he went in to report.

Yan Du hugged his shoulders, "This old thing has been sick lately, and he is half dead, so he may not want to see us." ”

In a few moments the porter came out and invited the two of them in.

Entering the door, the porter said: "The overseer is in the Begonia Pavilion, seven ...... Your Royal Highness the Seventh, the slave can't leave here, you know the way, so go over with the princess by yourself. ”

Yan Du glanced at the porter, he was already full of gray hair, and when he entered the mansion, his head was at least half black.

He didn't say anything, and walked inside with Liu Yunxiang.

The Zhumen embroidered household of the governor's mansion looked very luxurious, but when I walked inside, I found that the front yard seemed to be deserted, there were many weeds growing in the garden, and dead leaves were piled up on the road. Walking all the way to the backyard, the huge mansion was empty, and no one could see it.

"No wonder the porter said he couldn't leave." Liu Yunxiang said and looked around again, but still didn't see anyone, "Why is there no one in the house." ”

There is a study in the front yard, a martial arts training ground, and a stable, Yan Du thought that in addition to the beggars and the fourth child who had not shown up so far, they practiced martial arts or competed in the front yard for the rest of the five days.

At that time, I was young, running all over the yard, making trouble, going to the house to uncover the tiles, in order to serve a few of them, there were many servants in the house, and if I ran in a hurry, I would bump into people. But as soon as Shangguan Xu came back, several of them would be honest, and they obediently stepped forward one by one to ask An to go.

At that time, Shangguan Xu's favorite sentence was: "Look at the few of you who are capable, just demolish this governor's mansion!" ”

After passing through the verandah, passing through the hall, and coming to the backyard, Liu Yunxiang turned his head and asked Yan Dui: "Where is the Begonia Pavilion?" ”

Yan Du was silent for a moment, took Liu Yunxiang to the west verandah, passed through the Hanging Flower Gate, and passed through a small garden, and finally came to the Begonia Pavilion. Begonia trees are planted all over the Begonia Pavilion, and when they walk to the door, Yan Du stands in front of a begonia tree.

"This is a Xifu begonia, when the flowers bloom, it is very prosperous, like a cloud. I planted it when I first entered the house, when I was ten years old, and I was clamoring to meet the Yan family. The old thing told me, plant this tree, it can take root here, and so can you. At that time, this begonia was thinner than the little finger, and the leaves were still dry, but I didn't expect that after planting, it miraculously lived, and now it has grown so tall. Yan Dui said with a lot of emotion.

As many years passed, the tree grew taller, the people changed, and the world became more impermanent.

Just when Yan Du was feeling a lot of emotion, Shangguan Xu came out, wearing a light blue robe, his face was a little haggard, and he was also much thinner, looking very unenergetic.

He glanced at Yan Du first, then looked at the begonia, and said, "In fact, the begonia you planted is dead. ”

Yan Du frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

Shangguan Xu coughed dryly, "Dead is dead, I'm not afraid that you will cry and make trouble, so I secretly moved a tree and planted it here at night." I didn't know that it was too dark at night, so I didn't see it too clearly, and I planted other varieties. This is not a Xifu begonia, but a weeping silk begonia. ”

Yan Dui's face darkened, "At that time, Shen Yunzhou said that I was a weeping begonia, and I argued with him, and the two of us quarreled so much that we had a red face and a fight." ”

"Yunzhou was wronged, so I coaxed him to say that this new brother is not very smart, and let him let you do more in the future."

"He later called me stupid old seven, and he didn't dare to shout like that until I was better than him in kung fu and beat him up."

Shangguan Xu smiled and said: "So I have taught you since I was a child, don't trust anyone, even the person you feel is the closest to you, if you are close to him, he may not be honest with you." ”

Yan Du snorted coldly and sat down on the stone bench in the courtyard.

Liu Yunxiang took two steps forward and rushed to Shangguan Xu's head, "Shangguan Governor, we are here today for something ......"

"Princess, sit down first and taste the filial piety of the big red robe below."

Shangguan Xu interrupted Liu Yunxiang's words, greeted a small maidservant at the door, and then sat down opposite Yan Dusk. Soon the little maid came and carried the teapot and the teacup.

Shangguan Xu asked her to put it down, and then personally poured three cups of tea, one to Yan Dui, and one to Liu Yunxiang.

"The two of you taste it, the annual output of this big red robe is very small, and there are not many filial piety below, and I am reluctant to drink it on weekdays." He said and looked at Yan Dusk.

Yan Du picked up the cup of tea in front of him, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "The tea handed by others, no matter how unpleasant it is, this king will not dislike it." But no matter how delicious the tea handed by the overseer, the king did not dare to drink it. ”

Shangguan Xu smiled, then picked up the cup of tea in front of him and took a sip.

"His Royal Highness the Seventh is now a valuable person, if something happens in the slave's house, the slave will not have enough to cut off a hundred heads."

Yan Du snorted, and then took a sip, "You are alone, and you only have a head, and you are not worth much." ”

"In those years, there were many people in the family, and then they left one by one, and the house was clean. It's good to be pure, I already love to be pure, but I'm probably getting older, and I always feel lonely in the past two years, and I want to hear the noise again. Speaking of this, Shangguan Xu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But you are not destined to be the begonias in this courtyard, and your roots are not in the Governor's Mansion." ”

Yan Dui's brows furrowed, and he said impatiently: "When you killed me, you were neatly tight, and now you say this, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, I came today to make it convenient for you to return my things to me. ”
