i am afraid

I haven't been to Wenhua Pavilion for a long time, the surrounding scenery is still the same as before, there is nothing strange about it, but I haven't seen the Grand Tutor along the way, I asked the palace staff, today is Xiumu, and the Grand Tutors are not here.

Jiang Yan paused, and wanted to return to the palace right now, but the palace servant thought about it and said, "However, Taifu Yin is always there when he is resting and taking a bath, so he should be in the small attic right now."

Thinking about it is right, after severing ties with the Yin family, Yin Jiang has no relatives and no reason in the city, and his temperament does not seem to be warm, probably because of this, he has nowhere to go, it is better to stay In the palace, at least there are palace people on duty, so it won't be too deserted.

The small attic is at the back, along a small path, the narrow and winding path is covered with a thick layer of snow, and the boots make a creaking sound when they step on it, which is inexplicably pleasant.

Arrived at the small attic, walked in, there was a melodious sound of the piano, Yin Jiang was indeed there, he was sitting in front of the attic, stroking the strings in his hand with a smile on his face, the melodious music could easily tell the master's happy mood He played the piano very well and was very skilled. Jiang Yan unexpectedly thought of Mr. Hanjiang who he met in the small bamboo house in the mountain that day. Coincidentally, Yin Jiang played the same piece of music as Mr. Hanjiang, but a cold one There is no emotion, one is like a hundred flowers blooming in spring, and the sun is shining brightly, which makes people's hearts warm up.

If it was said that he stopped in front of Mr. Han Jiang's zither because he couldn't bear to disturb the beauty, then he stopped in front of Yin Jiang's zither because he really couldn't bear to interrupt the zither. Jiang Yan stopped.

Yin Jiang closed his eyes, but his fingers landed on each string accurately. The strings vibrated and made a pleasant sound. Jiang Yan also closed his eyes.

This is the first time for him to listen to Yin Jiang playing the piano. He was surprised to find that this person's piano skills are very high, and every detail is handled very well. This piece is called Wutong Qi. Very high, one distraction may play an empty shell like Mr. Hanjiang, but he handles emotions and skills very well, which sounds very comfortable.

The music was melodious, and after one song was played, the lingering sound was lingering. Jiang Yan opened his eyes, and was about to step forward, when suddenly he saw Yin Jiang pushed the piano away, stretched his waist, and raised his hand to grab two snacks on the table. Put it in your mouth, and your cheeks swelled up immediately.

Jiang Yan: "..."

After eating snacks three times, Yin Jiang was about to reach out to grab the second one, when he looked up and saw Jiang Yan looking at him not far away, he paused, coughed lightly, got up and saluted: "I see you." Please Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan An."

Jiang Yan tried his best to ignore Yin Jiang's greasy hands and mouth, and said, "Get up, I have something to discuss with you."

There was a smile on the corner of Yin Jiang's lips, his eyes sparkled, he nodded, he hadn't seen Jiang Yan for a few days, he had a strange idea in his heart, and it was a good idea to be able to talk to him alone.

Unlike Jiang Ling, Jiang Yan felt that Yin Jiang was a very trustworthy person. After all, when he met him, he did not reveal his identity. Just because of his words, Yin Jiang would rather follow him. Days are the same, his situation seems to be getting better and better, but in fact, he is only under the influence of the sixth uncle. Everyone knows that his foundation is not stable, everyone has their own thoughts, and Yin Jiang's attitude towards him has not changed. .

Jiang Yan trusted Yin Jiang, and he had raised a general idea with him before, but this time he did not avoid him, and handed him some details that he had just sorted out, showing a distressed look.

"This matter is of great importance. I took it for granted before. I have never really come into contact with these people and things. I still don't know whether it is wrong or right."

Jiang Yan is right. The royal family is a special existence. Their innate noble status allows them to obtain many things that ordinary people can't match in their lifetime. But relatively, they want to understand those things that ordinary people are familiar with, and even some basic common sense. But it was very difficult, not to mention that what he wanted to do was simply not enough to understand. Without personal experience, no one would know how many bastards were willing to leave the family, and how many patriarchs were willing to hand over their children.

Yin Jiang carefully read the terms and conditions written by Jiang Yan. He had never read something written by one person so seriously.Jiang Yan's handwriting is very good, clear and elegant, and his writing is not sharp.Just like him, he looks so seductive that he can almost make people irrecoverable, but in fact he is pure like boiled water. What does not match the appearance of his handwriting is his thoughts. Two thin sheets of paper, 120 details, each They are all so fierce and tough, Yin Jiang thinks about it, if he has so many concubine sons and is suppressed by these 120 rules, the son is not his own after birth, and he has to be ready to be redeemed by his son at any time to buy back his concubine and concubine daughter Not only that, there are more than a hundred detailed outlines, requiring all aspects, as if he gave birth not to a son, but to a debt collector.

As the heir of the Jiang family, the importance of concubines was deeply reflected in Jiang Yan's subconscious mind. Even though he didn't realize it, he was dissatisfied with those men who married wives and took concubines. Treat these people as sinners who disrupt normal reproduction, so the regulations he listed are full of extremes.

Yin Jiang thought for a while, and he said: "Your Majesty has lived in the palace for a long time, so you may not be very clear about ordinary people's affairs. I do have a few good friends in the capital. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, you can meet them."

He didn't make any suggestions on the regulations listed by Jiang Yan, but let him listen to and read it himself.

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows: "You also have friends?"

Yin Jiang smiled, his eyes brightened slightly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, it's true that the nobles in the royal capital form a small circle of their own, but there are actually quite a few bastards like us who are not embarrassed or embarrassing. Together, just not daring to show it off."

The concubine is born to be the thorn in the eyes of the concubine, and being targeted at home is not enough, so naturally he has to keep a low profile when he comes out.

The next day was a sunny day, and the snow gradually began to melt. Jiang Yan followed Yin Jiang out of the palace early in the morning. He did not let Zhou Pingan accompany him, but brought Adong and Axia with him. Going out, the more important thing is that the face is not as famous as Zhou Ping'an in the capital.

Yin Jiang's friends are almost all the bastards of officials above the third rank. Some of these people passed the imperial examinations like him, some are playboys who have achieved nothing, and some join merchants, trying to save enough money to hand over to the government. Cut off contact.

Jiang Yan didn't like to meet strangers very much, but Yin Jiang was reasonable, and he didn't take many people with him, six, and one private room happened to be full.

Jiang Yan concealed his identity, and only told people that he was Yin Jiang's biological mother's cousin, who came to see the world.

Although the Bijiang Tower is not as grand as the Qinghe Garden, it is quite exquisite. Jiang Yan followed Yin Jiang and raised his foot into the private room. When he looked up, there were four sitting around the table eating hot pot in the room, and one standing Beside the window, there was another grinning person who came up to him.

"A-Jiang, you are so unkind. What the brothers were worried about, they sent you to your house to take care of your father's important people. In the end, you entered the palace silently and became a tutor without even saying anything. Let's say, tsk tsk, don't teach our majesty about your character!"

Yin Jiang raised his hand and tapped the man's forehead, and said, "Ji Xiao, stop joking, if the partition had ears, I'd go collect your boy's body tomorrow."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Yan, obviously afraid that he would be unhappy, Jiang Yan smiled back and said it was okay.

"Hey, let me see, this is... our younger brother, he is so handsome." Ji Xiao was stunned, looking at Jiang Yan, under the eyeballs that seemed to be extremely clever when Didi turned around. In a second, it was sluggish like two dead fish eyes, staring straight at each other.

Hearing too much, Jiang Yan's brain has automatically blocked these compliments. He greeted Ji Xiao politely, and seeing that he was still motionless, he looked at Yin Jiang helplessly.

Yin Jiang directly pushed Ji Xiao away, threw it aside, walked to the table, and the four stood up one after another. Jiang Yan was dressed in ordinary clothes, and Yin Jiang asked him to put a layer of yellow powder on his face for fear of being recognized by acquaintances. .Although the facial features are still beautiful, they have changed a lot. If it was a bright moon in the sky before, it has become a night-blooming epiphyllum on the ground now. When they saw Jiang Yan, although they were a little out of touch, they did not look like Ji Xiao. Same gaffe.

Yin Jiang introduced him one by one: "This is Li Suting, the young son of the household minister's family, and this is my aunt's cousin..."

Jiang Yan quickly reported the alias he had thought of: "Jiang Yan, speaking of words, I have met Mr. Li."

Li Suting waved his hands and said: "You're welcome, any kind of son or daughter is false. You are Ajiang's younger brother, and you will be our younger brother in the future. Call me brother."

"That's right, that's right! It's all false, it's serious to call out brother, brother Ah Yan, I'm your brother Su Xiao."

"Lin Ziqing, call me Brother Sheng Ziqing."

"...Go, go, what kind of brother are you, brother Ah Yan, call me, call me! Call me brother Sheng, brother will take you to eat all over Beiling City!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid you will be told Su Dazui to eat it all by himself. Brother Ah Yan, follow him for a while, tell him what you want to eat and play with..."

……

Jiang Yan paused, his eyes turned around on several eager men, his face was stiff, and he called brother one by one, Yin Jiang stood aside, wanted to laugh but held back, he kept standing by the window The person pulled over and introduced him: "This..."

Seeing the man's face, Jiang Yan was stunned. Before Yin Jiang could finish speaking, he asked, "Little cousin?"

Pei Qing blinked slightly, looked at Jiang Yan, and said with some uncertainty: "Xiao, Xiaoyan?"
