This child is fair and clean, has exquisite facial features, and is extremely handsome.
Although the Gu family has no shortage of descendants and has many children, the younger children, especially those who are good-looking and appear to be well-behaved, are still very popular with the elderly.
Mr. Gu originally planned to settle the score with Gu Qingyan, scold him, clean him up, and teach him a lesson, but now he is blinking his big pure eyes so obediently and looking at his handsome face.
In front of the children, he instantly transformed into a kind old man.
Mr. Gu put away the anger on his face and smiled kindly at An Yining, "My child, what is your name?"
An Yining did not reply immediately, but turned her head and raised her face to look at Gu Qingyan.
Gu Qingyan smiled, "This is my grandfather. Just call him Grandpa Zeng. Tell him directly. It's okay."
An Yining nodded, turned around, saluted Mr. Gu, and replied in a childish voice, "Back to Grandpa Zeng, my name is An Yining."
"An Yining, An..." Mr. Gu felt that this child was so sensible, well-behaved, and cute. When he heard the name, his first reaction was, well, that's a good name. Then he felt something was wrong and immediately kept a close eye on him.
I asked this child, "Is your surname An?"
"Yes." An Yining nodded obediently.
Mr. Gu carefully looked at An Yining's features, and he was a little frightened. "You...why...this kid..." He looked up at Gu Qingyan suspiciously.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "Does Grandpa look familiar to him?"
Mr. Gu was silent for a moment.
More than looks familiar? This kid clearly looks like...
Although he was old, he was still not confused. That year, a young man came to the capital from Nanyang. He had handsome features, high spirits, both civil and military skills, and outstanding talent. He immediately attracted the hearts of countless girls in the capital. He once even praised him.
, there is a successor to the An family.
That young man’s name is An Qichen.
He was about the same age as the eldest prince, and he came to the capital to see the world. He had nothing else to do, so he was arranged by the queen to be the eldest prince's companion for half a year.
If An Yining didn't say his surname was An, he would just feel that the child's features were familiar for a moment. But when the surname An came out, wouldn't he be frightened if he took a closer look?
He looked at Gu Qingyan with questioning eyes.
"That's the person Grandpa thought about." Gu Qingyan stepped forward, helped Mr. Gu sit down, and waved for An Yining to sit next to him, saying warmly, "His father is An Qichen, and his mother is Xu Qingling."<
/p>
Although Mr. Gu guessed it was true, when Gu Qingyan confirmed it personally, he was still shocked and almost fell off the chair. He looked at An Yining, and for a moment his face was filled with unbearable surprise.
Everyone in the world knows that the father and son of the An family died in the battle. At that time, An Qichen and An Qiyan were not married, had no wives and children, and left no heirs. Therefore, people in the world said that the An family only had one little girl left.
.
Where did this child come from now?
Gu Qingyan explained warmly, "Back then, my brother-in-law did not get married, but he and his sister-in-law made a private lifelong alliance. They were planning to get married. However, Nan Qi and Nanliang suddenly invaded the country. My brother-in-law left and never came back. My sister-in-law originally planned to get married.
He was about to hang himself, but the little princess arrived in time to save her. After asking a doctor to treat her sister-in-law, she discovered that she was already one month pregnant. The little princess was young at the time, and the An family faced numerous dangers. The little princess did not even tell Grandpa An.
I took the initiative and hid my sister-in-law and Ning'er in a place together for eight years. This time I went to Nanyang. It happened that Ning'er was smart. His two wives had nothing to teach Ning'er. The little princess
Trust me, so you entrust Ning'er to me to take with you and teach you."
After all, Mr. Gu was old. Although he was frightened for a moment, he nodded when he heard Gu Qingyan explain the cause and effect. He looked at An Yining with gentle and kind eyes, "It's not easy for a good boy."
Isn't it easy? If An Huajin hadn't arrived in time to save his mother, both mother and son would have been killed, and the An family would have lost its roots.
After the First World War in Yuxueling, that is to say, it was eight years ago. This child is now eight years old and no one knows about it. It shows that he really took the trouble to hide it in a safe place. And An Huajin was only eight years old at the time!
p>
It’s not easy.
Gu Qingyan nodded, "It is indeed not easy, so from now on, Ning'er will follow me. He has a special status. He will be by my side from now on. Wherever I am, he will be there. As for his identity, he still needs Grandpa's care to cover it up."
2."
Mr. Gu nodded, "The heroes of the An family are buried in the battlefield. The children of the An family, regardless of the face of the little girl of the An family, should be taken care of and have unshirkable responsibilities. What identity do you plan to give Ning'er to the outside world?"
"I originally planned to say that he was a child from a poor family that I picked up on the road. He looked smart and took me with me, but I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Why don't grandpa arrange for him to be a side branch?" Gu Qingyan asked.
Mr. Gu thought for a moment, "Well, you are right, this is inappropriate. We have many children in the Gu family, and all the boys and girls are good-looking. This child is good-looking. If he is released alone, he will be more conspicuous, but if he is left alone, he will be more conspicuous.
Among the children in our family, they are not so conspicuous. Not to mention, these good-looking people all have some similarities. If you look at this child more, he does look a bit like our Gu family. I will talk about it later.
Arrange a side identity for him."
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Grandpa said that it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Grandpa."
Mr. Gu snorted, "You bastard, please stop saying nice things to me. I want to ask you, why haven't you sent a letter since you left the capital? Even if you knew that His Majesty sent someone to keep an eye on you, why would you send one to me?"
The message came back to the head office, right? There wasn't even a message. Are you trying to rebel?"
Gu Qingyan admitted her mistake honestly, "It was my grandson who was wrong."
Mr. Gu was not angry, "You just know that something is wrong and that's it?"
Gu Qingyan blinked, "I brought a lot of delicious and fun things back to Grandpa from Nanyang. Grandpa used them to relieve his boredom when he had nothing to do? You have never been to Nanyang, so you don't know that Nanyang has many novel things.
, very interesting."
Mr. Gu: "..."
He has never seen anything big in his life, how could he be bribed by good food and fun?
He glared at Gu Qingyan, "Where is the thing you are talking about?"
"People have sent it to your yard. There is a full carriage."
Mr. Gu nodded and snorted, "How is Mr. An's health? What are your plans for coming to Beijing this time?"
"Your Majesty has summoned you, so the old prince naturally came to Beijing without saying a word." Gu Qingyan said with a smile, "The little princess said that after the old prince comes to Beijing, he should have a good argument with your majesty. If your majesty won't let him go, let him
Staying in the capital with peace of mind. Anyway, at his age, he now has to take care of himself in Nanyang. The winter in the capital is not as cold and windy as Nanyang, but much warmer. It is suitable for spending the winter. Even if His Majesty threatens, she will not come to the capital to pick him up.
He went back."
Mr. Gu: "..."
He laughed angrily for a moment, "This bastard girl, you will think. How can your Majesty give up so easily and let Prince An rest in peace in the capital for his retirement?"
"So, isn't it true that I am following you back to Beijing? With me taking care of the old prince, the little princess is very relieved."
Mr. Gu: "..."
Well, his grandson was completely trapped by the little girl of the An family. Even his grandfather and nephew became his grandfather and nephew. He also tried his best to pursue his wife.
Mr. Gu laughed angrily, "So, if it weren't for returning to Beijing to take care of Lao An, you wouldn't have planned to come back?"
"No way." Although Gu Qingyan thought so in her heart, she would not admit it, "I just went to Nanyang for a trip to send the little princess back to Nanyang. By the way, I took the opportunity to come out of Beijing to have a good look at Nanyang's customs and customs.
That’s all. After staying in Nanyang for a long time, it’s time to come back.”
An Yining tilted her head and looked at Gu Qingyan, "My uncle is lying. He told him more than once on the way that he really wanted to go back to find your little aunt. Hey, why do you think she is so missed?"
Even a child like him can't stand him.
Now he is lying without blinking an eye. Sure enough, my aunt is right, good-looking men will lie. My aunt said that when she first met her uncle, she was deceived by his face.
, I thought it was so easy to mess with, but who knew it was so hard to mess with, and I was almost killed by him.
At that time, he was extremely surprised and asked his little aunt, "What if I really kill him?"
The little aunt said helplessly, "If you die under the peonies, you can be a ghost and be charming!"
Him: "..."
He was also extremely speechless towards his little aunt. Is it fun to tease children just because of her good looks?
After listening to Gu Qingyan's words, Mr. Gu's expression softened visibly and his mood became better. After all, he was his most loved and beloved grandson, so this coaxing was really effective. He was stroking his beard.
He said, "It's good that you know. How do you plan to see Your Majesty?"
This matter was revealed so easily!
An Yining: "..."
Amazing, amazing! It turns out that Grandpa Zeng is so easy to coax.
Gu Qingyan smiled and flicked An Yining's forehead. An Yining's rolling eyes suddenly calmed down and she sat down obediently.
Gu Qingyan smiled and said to Mr. Gu, "In a few days there will be a great court meeting. Your Majesty always wants to tell Grandpa An that he has not seen you for a few days. Grandpa An also guessed your majesty's thoughts and planned to go directly to the great court meeting on the first day of the next month.
I will go to see His Majesty in the court to discuss the matter of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in front of all the civil and military officials. I will also go to the court that day to attend the meeting."
Mr. Gu: "..."
In this way, the court meeting that day was very lively.
