Chapter 217

Not mentioning what Mr. Lu said in his mansion, Luo Yan staggered back to the mansion.At this moment, everyone in the mansion is busy with ancestor worship tonight.The same is true for Feng Chang's side, with the help of the servant woman, they are discussing what happened tonight.

When there was a burst of sadness in his heart, how could Luo Yan care about this.After handing over the affairs to the butler, he went back to the study and sat quietly.

Recalling the scene when he and Ying'er were together, Luo Yan hated himself for being so late.During the three years in the mountains, at the end, Yinger's various behaviors can be explained by ordinary siblings.It happened that I was so absorbed in the sea of ​​books and learning that I didn't even pay attention to it.

As for the future, Ying'er is thousands of miles away, but she doesn't even have half a letter.That coldness, thinking back to now, Luo Yan wished he could slap himself twice.Is it necessary to let the daughter's family express their feelings clearly?Although the atmosphere is open now, Yinger comes from a scholarly family, so naturally she can't do such a thing.

My heart was full of sorrow, and unconsciously, I turned the regret in my head into tears.

After what happened to Liu Qingyu that day, Luo Yan never shed tears again.But here it is.After all, the journey has been smooth and smooth, even if you suffer some grievances occasionally, you will be able to find them back soon.And how can Luo Yan recover from this matter?

With nothing in mind, Luo Yan panicked in a daze.Originally thought that if I came here, even if I couldn't become king, at least I could live a smooth life.But now it seems that it is not enough.

Sitting quietly, weeping, until the housekeeper came to knock on the door, which interrupted Luo Yan's thoughts.

Before you know it, it's time to worship the ancestors.Although Luo Yan is alone now, since he already has his own house, he has established a foundation in people's hearts.Moreover, although the official position is small, he has received great favor from the royal family, and the servants of the whole family feel that they are honored.

As the head of the family, without Luo Yan, how should this grand drama of worshiping ancestors be sung?So the butler saw that the time was approaching, but waited and waited for Luo Yan not to come, so he had no choice but to come and call.

"Mr. Lang, it's almost time to worship the ancestors. Please go back to your room to take a bath and change clothes. Don't miss the time." The housekeeper reminded gently.

Cooperating with Luo Yan, he even forgot to take a bath, temporarily put away the sadness in his heart, Luo Yan said to the door: "You wait and get ready first, I will go to take a bath and change clothes. Don't worry, I won't miss it." It's time." He said, and wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve.When he felt that no one would see it, he opened the door, lowered his head and walked towards his own room.

Screening away the servant girl who came to serve, after taking a bath, she changed into the new clothes that had been prepared at home before walking out of the room.

With no parents above and no heirs below, Luo Yan's ancestor worship is extremely simple.Even if the butler deliberately arranged it to be more grand, it only took more than half an hour to complete the whole process.

It was freezing cold, and he felt uncomfortable, Luo Yan told the many servants in front of him: "You have worked hard today, after returning home, everyone in the mansion will go to the account room to withdraw the usual money, and treat it as a gift for everyone this spring. It’s a happy money. While it’s still early, you’ll have prepared meals earlier and go to rest.”

Shou Sui must stay with Feng Chang's family for a while, so Luo Yan arranged for someone to prepare meals in the middle hall, and only waited for Feng Chang's side to finish before inviting his family over.

There were very few maidservants at Feng Chang's side, but at least the family reunion, and the ancestor worship took a long time to complete.Waiting there for the servants to take a look, they immediately informed Feng Chang's family that Luo Yan had invited them.

Naturally, Feng Chang would not refuse this matter.Originally, he regarded Luo Yan as his own younger brother, but there was a difference in how the two worshiped their ancestors at this time.After all, keeping the year old is a matter of living people these days, and the whole family just got together to have fun.So he followed the servants to the middle hall.

At this time, Luo Yan had already recovered from his red eyes, and as for that sad mood, he also temporarily put it away.Seeing Feng Chang's family coming, he forced a smile and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, come and take a seat quickly. Qin'er, Ji'er, come to uncle's side." Greeting Feng Chang's family to sit down, Luo Yan then said: " The mansion was bought a bit late, so this spring can only make my brother and sister-in-law wronged. But I happen to be alone, so I am very happy to celebrate the holiday with my brother."

"Brother, what are you talking about? If it weren't for you, we would just cook some pork and eat it in the cramped courtyard of Luzhou. How could we have such a life?" Feng Chang said with a smile on his face. talking.

Feng Chang's wife, who was present again, kept nodding. The changes in their family in the past year were so great that they couldn't believe it.Hearing what Feng Chang said now, he couldn't help interjecting: "Please don't worry about what happened that day, uncle, I'm here to make amends for you."

Feng Chang's wife naturally knew how these changes came about, and she felt a little sorry for the things she thought Luo Yan used to quarrel with Feng Chang.At this moment, I happened to encounter such an occasion, so I lowered my face and offered to apologize.

Luo Yan was a little embarrassed when he said this, and quickly waved his hands and said, "How could Luo Yan care about all the things in the past. No matter what, the grace of brother's regeneration is as high as the sky, even if Luo Yan spends his life, he will not be able to repay it."

The humility between each other made the middle hall harmonious for a while.After eating the meal, the long New Year's Eve began.Fortunately, the three of them plus two children, recalling the unbearable life in the past, compared with the prosperity of central Beijing, there is a lot to talk about.From the scenery of Luzhou to the human condition of Chang'an, from the firewood, rice, oil and salt to the children's homework.

So when it was almost midnight, a few people were still talking about it.

Suddenly, Feng Chang brought up a topic, which made Luo Yan unable to continue talking.

"Brother, I think that although you are not a high-ranking official, you can be regarded as successful and famous. I think you have had this year, and you are twenty-one. At this age, my brother and I have given birth to Qiner. Look, if you have In your spare time, you might as well find a family that matches your family and get married as soon as possible."

And Feng Chang's wife also responded at this time: "Yes, these days when you are away, many people have come to ask questions. Presumably they have heard that we are your brother and sister-in-law, thinking that we can do this matter Lord. Although I didn’t agree, I still remembered many people. What kind of servants and censors, it sounds like you are not a small official.”

Co-authoring, I can be regarded as a hot commodity now.It's just that Luo Yan was still afraid that he would be engaged, so he hurriedly asked, "Did brother promise something?"

Waved his hand, Feng Chang said with a smile: "Where is it? Although you and I are as close as brothers, we are not related by blood after all, not to mention that you have a lot of opinions, so how can I have the qualifications to decide this matter. It's just that now, You are not young, and I am really worried for you."

"In the past, you were still young, your family had no money, and you had been studying hard, so it's okay to delay this matter. Now that you have this condition, it's time to think about it."

This matter was brought up twice in one day, Luo Yan felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart at this moment.It's just that it's the New Year's Eve, and he can't show his sad face in front of his elder brother.Therefore, I can only politely refuse: "Brother, I have my own plans for this matter, and the marriage matter cannot be rushed for a while. Let's talk about it after the new year."

Feng Chang couldn't tell that Luo Yan didn't want to bring up this matter, so he teased his wife who was about to persuade him, and comforted him and said, "Forget it. After all, you are still in charge of this matter. But hurry up, there are three ways to be unfilial." No offspring is the greatest thing, you can't just keep worrying about some things."

I thought Feng Chang had misunderstood something, but Luo Yan didn't want to explain any more, just let him continue to misunderstand.

When the servant came to report that it was time, Luo Yan was relieved.Handed the New Year's money that had been prepared long ago to the two Feng Qin brothers, and then sent Feng Chang's family back to the Kuayuan.

As for Luo Yan himself, he did not go back to the bedroom to sleep at the moment, but went straight to the study.

At this time, in the study room, there were food and wine prepared by servants.It wasn't that Luo Yan wanted to eat alone. At that time, he only ordered five jars of wine to be prepared in the study. Presumably the housekeeper saw that Luo Yan wanted to drink alone, and he was afraid that no one would serve the meals late at night, so he prepared these in advance.At the same time, the stove and charcoal are also prepared, which is quite comprehensive.

When you are depressed, you always have to vent.

In the past, Luo Yan chose to study hard.But at least there was Lu Deming to help him get out of the knot.But now no one cares about his mood anymore, besides wine, what else can he rely on?Although this drunkenness can't solve thousands of worries, at least it can fill my heart with something when it hurts temporarily.

Whether it's sorrow or regret, it's all in the wine.

Overnight, Luo Yan poured wine into his mouth while recalling the past.There was no more leaking voice, and he didn't know when he had been drinking, but he vaguely remembered when there was no wine in the altar, and fell down on the bed beside the study in a daze.

The next day Luo Yan was woken up for the first time, opened his eyes, and asked about the strong smell of alcohol on his body.Looking up, it was Ah Quan who came to wake him up. Frowning, Luo Yan said, "Ah Quan, go to my room and prepare some water. I will take a bath first. If there is anything, I will wait later." Say more."

Unexpectedly, Ah Quan disobeyed his errand for the first time, standing there and pointing at himself, but couldn't say a word.

Luo Yan, who was a little puzzled, was a little annoyed, and scolded: "What are you pointing at me, why don't you rush to prepare hot water, tell me, what's the matter after I take a bath." Being scolded by Luo Yan like this, Ah Quan He stopped making a sound, but still watched Luo Yan go out with weird eyes.

After a while, Ah Quan came to report that the hot water was ready.But when he said it, he was a little frightened, and at the same time, he was not as familiar as before, but his voice trembled a little.
