An Huajin and Shen Yuanzhi came to the Xu family hall, and after less than half a cup of tea, Xu Qingyan came in a hurry.
Xu Qingyan is twenty-three years old and has not married yet. Probably because he travels around all the time, he has a temperament of experience. He is already handsome, and because of this temperament, he looks very handsome. It is eye-catching.
An Huajin and Shen Yuanzhi both stood up and greeted Xu Qingyan, "Brother Qingyan."
Xu Qingyan was obviously very happy to see the two of them. He stretched out his hands and patted them on the shoulders at the same time. Then, he specially rubbed An Huajin's head and said, "The little girl has grown up."
An Huajin slapped his hand away, "Brother Qingyan is old!"
Xu Qingyan: "..."
He laughed angrily, "Obviously he is not old."
An Huajin stretched out his hand and pushed Shen Yuanzhi in front of Xu Qingyan. He raised his face and said, "This is how a young man should look. Brother Qingyan, look at the person in front of you. Are you embarrassed to say that you are not old?"
Xu Qingyan: "..."
He gave Shen Yuan a rare childish look and scolded with a smile, "You brat! Every time you're around, I'm called old."
Shen Yuanzhi admired An Huajin very much. Even though he knew what he was here for, he could still laugh so well and still joke like he did when he was a child. He sighed in his heart and smiled on his face, "Brother Qingyan You're not old, who said Brother Qingyan is old? I won't do it, he's obviously only seven years older than me."
What he emphasizes is seven years older!
An Huajin laughed.
Xu Qingyan also laughed angrily and pointed at Shen Yuanzhi, "When did you two stop trying to undermine each other? Instead, you joined forces to plot me. It's strange. When I came back last year, I remember that you two were still bickering and fighting with each other. , have you two forgotten that I broke up countless fights between you two?"
Shen Yuanzhi tilted his head and asked An Huajin, "Have we ever fought or quarreled?"
Anhua Jin smiled, "No, I don't remember. I have a good memory."
Shen Yuanzhi nodded, "Even I don't remember it. I have a good memory, so it's absolutely nothing."
Xu Qingyan: "..."
He looked at the two of them speechlessly, defeated, and laughed, "Okay, okay, okay, the brat and the little girl have grown up, and they have put aside their previous grudges and made peace. I have become an outsider being bullied by you two. ”
Shen Yuanzhi laughed.
The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, then sat down and asked each other about what happened that year. Xu Qingyan opened up the silk tea business in three prefectures and counties this year, and also had a romantic affair that was reported back to Nanyang. City, when Shen Yuanzhi heard about it, he even wrote a letter to ask about it. Now that the incident was revealed, Shen Yuanzhi laughed for a while.
Speaking of Xu Qingyan's romantic affair, to put it simply, it is a drama about Luohua deliberately and ruthlessly flowing water. To put it more complicatedly, there is a woman who fell in love with Xu Qingyan, but did not know that he was the son of the Xu family in Qingzhou and thought that he was a A poor boy with no background relied on his clever mind to make a fortune, so he used both black and white methods to put pressure on him. When the pressure failed, he had a wrong idea and secretly robbed him.
Xu Qingyan should have done it that day, but he didn't expect that the woman would not give up and kept thinking about him, so she brought two guards with her. One guard was injured, and the other escaped and asked for help. Since it was the closest to the Cui family, the call for help went to the Cui family. It was Cui The family stepped forward and rescued Xu Qingyan.
Although the Cui family suppressed this matter and not much news spread, the Cui family's children have been on good terms with Nanyang Prince's Mansion since they were young, and naturally they are also good friends with Shen Yuanzhi. During the correspondence, Shen Yuan was mentioned. After hearing this, he wrote the gossip carefully. Xu Qingyan knew Shen Yuanzhi's temperament. If he hid it, he would definitely ask about it when he was curious, so he simply told him directly. But even if he told him, Shen Yuanzhi still Made fun of him.
An Huajin didn't know about this at first. She was in the capital at that time, but she heard about it later when she came back. It was also funny. Now when she talked about it, she asked with a smile, "What kind of woman is she? So courageous? Brother Qingyan should marry her too." Wife."
"How can a man marry a wife who is light-weighted?" Xu Qingyan shook his head, but did not say the woman's last name, and seemed not to want to mention it.
An Huajin saw the disgust in his eyes and knew that the woman had probably offended him, so he smiled and stopped asking.
Shen Yuanzhi winked at An Huajin and said, "Little girl, if you want to know, ask me, I know."
"Shut up! This is the Xu family. You are really not afraid of irritating Brother Qingyan, so I shut you up." An Huajin took a sip of hot tea and glanced at Shen Yuanzhi.
Shen Yuanzhi coughed, "I really forgot."
Xu Qingyan was amused and asked An Huajin, "I've heard a lot about you this year. Every day after dinner, people around me are talking about you and the seventh son of the Gu family. It's very lively."
An Huajin curled the corners of his mouth, and the expression on his eyebrows was not unusual at all, just like the day she brought Gu Qingyan back to An's house, she had the same crooked smile.
Shen Yuanzhi secretly admired this little girl, thinking about this little girl. He had grown up with her and never realized when her city had become so deep. If he hadn't known that she was not even willing to return to her own yard yesterday, she would have run away. I went to stay in her mother's yard for one night, and I thought she was really happy because of Gu Qingyan.
"It seems that your relationship with Mr. Gu Qi is very good? His Majesty has canceled your engagement with Mr. Gu Qi. It seems that it will have no impact on you?" Xu Qingyan asked with a smile.
An Huajin pinched his fingers, rubbed them gently, and smiled lightly, "It doesn't have any effect!"
Shen Yuanzhi took the words, "What impact can it have? She doesn't know how much she likes Gu Qingyan. Now our childhood sweethearts, our brothers and sisters, have to step aside. Mr. Gu Qi is the one who is at the top of her heart." people."
Xu Qingyan said "Oh?" "It is said that Mr. Gu Qi has lived in Nanyang for more than a month?"
"Yes." An Huajin nodded, "He sent me back to Nanyang from the capital and stayed at the Nanyang Palace for a while."
Xu Qingyan asked Shen Yuanzhi with a smile, "Have you all seen him? Is Mr. Gu Qi true as rumored?"
"Is it better than the rumors? Worse than that." Shen Yuanzhi said.
Even if he learned that the Gu family knew about it but did not stop him, he could not unconscionably say bad things about Gu Qingyan. Even with his displeased temperament, he could not find any fault with Gu Qingyan. .
Young Master Gu Qi from a well-known family lives up to the rumors that he is a charming and charming man.
Xu Qingyan smiled, "I planned to go to the capital this winter, and then I would have a good meeting with Mr. Gu Qi."
Anhua Jin smiled and asked, "Brother Qingyan, do you want me to recommend you?"
Xu Qingyan shook his head, "No need. I don't know when I will leave for the capital. You don't need to introduce me. Isn't Grandpa An in the capital? He will be the one to introduce me then."
An Huajin smiled and nodded.
The three of them talked for a while, and Xu Qingyan stood up and said, "I have asked people to prepare wine and food. Come with me. We are family members. After dinner, let's go see my father."
An Huajin nodded politely, "Listen to brother Qingyan."
Shen Yuanzhi naturally had no objection.
After dinner, it was already dark, and the three of them headed to Xu Jing's courtyard.
When Xu Jing was mentioned, Xu Qingyan looked very dull. Since childhood, the father and son have not been as kind and filial as ordinary fathers and sons. Instead, they have always been indifferent to each other. When he was young, An Huajin didn't understand the reason. Later, he vaguely understood the reason. I seem to understand, and now I generally understand more.
Xu Jing said, "I'm afraid he won't survive this winter, but I thought that as a son, you can't be unfilial to your parents, so I brought back a doctor who specializes in treating old diseases. If he cooperates, he can survive." This winter, if he doesn’t cooperate, I’ll just wrap him up and show him mourning.”
Shen Yuanzhi opened his mouth and then closed it, not knowing what to say for a moment.
An Huajin stopped and asked Xu Qingyan, "Brother Qingyan, why have you not been close to Uncle Xu since you were a child? Is there any special reason?"
Xu Qingyan paused, glanced at her, and said softly, "Father and son were born with different zodiac signs. There is no reason."
An Huajin said no more and continued to move forward.
Shen Yuanzhi followed silently, thinking, why didn't he find out before? It turns out that brother Qingyan probably knew that Uncle Xu liked Aunt An, so father and son are a little more distant and indifferent than strangers. !How can he still think that the relationship between biological father and son is worse than that of relatives and friends?
Arriving at Xu Jing's courtyard, as soon as he reached the door, he could smell the strong medicinal smell wafting from inside.
For so many years, Xu Jing's yard has been smelling of medicine, but it's just a little stronger this year.
