Crossing town house man and wife

Yan Heng, who returned to the banquet scene, was naturally questioned by the clansmen, but not many Yan clansmen opposed Yan Heng's taking the crow away from the ancestral hall.

To be precise, there are very few people who dare to speak out their objections.

After these years of coercion and temptation, although Yan Heng dare not say that he has the entire Yan clan in his hands, if any member of the clan really wants to plan something against him behind the scenes, I am afraid that person has not yet started. Take action, and his overall plan will be sent to Yan Heng.

However, what is more annoying and difficult to deal with than bad words is those flattering compliments.

As soon as Yan Heng returned to the front hall and took a seat, some people came up to him, flattered him, and pushed their children out to show off.

The latter point is the key.

Although a concubine Ji is already pregnant in Yan Heng's backyard, it is still uncertain whether the child will be born, and even if it is born, whether the child will be a boy or a girl is another matter.Many members of the Yan clan still hold the hope of adopting their sons to Yan Heng, and Yan Heng has indeed revealed this aspect, saying that if he still has no descendants in his [-]s, he will definitely be among the children of the Yan clan. Select the best ones to adopt.

Yan Heng did not give up his plan to have a biological child, but he had been influenced by the late emperor for many years, and he knew very well that having a child and having a son are not the same concept at all.If you are unlucky, it is not impossible to give birth to a bunch of children but all of them are female sons.What's more, he wants to raise troops to rebel. If he fails, the entire Yan family will suffer. Even if he gives birth to a son, he may not be able to live to adulthood. It's better to use the position of this heir as a bait to win over the Yan clan and wipe them out. strapped to the chariot.

Because of this, Yan Heng treated all the Yan family's children who appeared at the banquet with a pleasant face, and would ask a few more questions when they met those who had a good eye, which made the parents of these children ecstatic.

But maybe there are too many people who want to gain favorability in front of Yan Heng, and some people have the idea of ​​taking a slanted sword.

Just in the middle of the banquet, the guards who had been staying in Wu Ming's courtyard sneaked into the front hall, leaned into Yan Heng's ear, and told him that two teenagers had climbed over the wall and entered that courtyard.

These two are the sons of a clan brother of Yan Heng, and because they were curious about Wu Ming, this male wife, they sneaked over to spy on them, but they were caught by the guards who stayed behind as soon as they landed.

The two were still young, and they both looked like the Yan family. The guards planned to expel them, but before they let them go, Aunt Lao, who was by Wu Ming's side, came out and asked them to send them to Yan's family. Heng here, and reported the matter to Yan Heng.

Aunt Lao is now the most important confidant of Mrs. Sheriff, and her orders are what Mrs. Madam meant. The guards did not dare to be negligent, so they quickly dispatched their staff and escorted the two teenagers over.

Asked about the identities of the two teenagers, although Yan Heng was puzzled, he still raised his voice and asked, "Is Cousin Yu here?"

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man stood up in a panic in the corner of the front hall, "Jun... Sheriff."

Many people noticed the whispers of Yan Heng and the guards, seeing him call Yan Yu's name at this moment, they immediately cast their eyes in unison.

In terms of seniority, Yan Heng wants to call Yan Yu a cousin, but the actual age difference between the two is nearly ten years, and in terms of blood relationship, they are only slightly closer than people outside the fifth suit.It stands to reason that Yan Yu should not appear here at this time, but since he was an adult, he has been the master of the Yan family's family study, and he has a little reputation in the family. Valuable, the patriarch will arrange a place for him in the hall every year.

Yan Heng didn't have a deep impression of Yan Yu. He only remembered that he was a coward. He was obviously older than himself, but every time he saw him, he didn't even have the guts to look him in the eye. Always smiling and soft-spoken.

"Cousin Yu brought the two nephews here?" Yan Heng continued to ask.

"No, never." Yan Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, then his face changed, "They... what happened to them?"

"That's really strange." Yan Heng turned his head and said to the guard, "Bring those two nephews in and let cousin Yu recognize them."

"No!" The guard took the order and left.

After a while, two teenagers, one tall and one short, were led into the hall.

The tall one looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, but the short one was only about ten years old.The two brothers both have the long ears that Yan's men are accustomed to, but they are not similar in appearance.The older eldest is perhaps more like a mother, but the younger one is a gloomy son at first glance. His facial features and gloom are carved out of the same mold, and his personality is also a little timid. He has been nervously clutching his elder brother's hand since he entered the door. He looked at everyone cautiously.

"Zheng Lang! Huan Lang!" Yan Yu's face turned completely pale, and he hurriedly turned his head to plead with Yan Heng, "Excuse me, the governor, these two are indeed my sons, and somehow they followed me. They stayed at home."

Upon hearing the name Zheng Lang, Yan Heng's heart tightened.

His missing concubine brother is also named Yan Zheng. If he is still alive at this moment, he will be fifteen years old, which is exactly the same as the tall boy in front of him.

Thinking of Aunt Lao's age and her seniority in the county guard's mansion, Yan Heng immediately felt that Aunt Lao probably sent the guards here on purpose because she saw something, and that "Ruan Cheng"'s order was just a cover for convenience.

"Children, they just like to be lively. Why didn't cousin Yu bring them here directly? Could it be that they are missing two pairs of bowls and chopsticks here?" Yan Heng asked meaningfully.

Yan Yu's face became paler and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak.

Yan Heng ignored him, turned his gaze back to the two teenagers, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your names are Yan Zheng and Yan Huan?"

"Back to the county guard, I'm Yan Zheng, Zheng Zheng with strong bones." The tall boy replied loudly, "This is my younger brother Yan Huan, happy and smooth Huan."

Different words with the same pronunciation?

Yan Heng sneered secretly, looked at Yan Zheng with pretended admiration, and then put on a posture of taking a school exam, telling a few allusions that he should know at his age.

Yan Zheng answered all the questions accurately, and was waiting for Yan Heng's compliment with a haughty face. Unexpectedly, Yan Heng changed his goal and took the exam of Yan Huan next to him.

Yan Huan was obviously more nervous, and his voice was a bit vague when he answered, but the answers he gave were also quite satisfactory, and there was no mistake.

The questions posed to Yan Huan are of course relatively simple. If the age gap between the two is not taken into account, it is obvious that Yan Zheng's performance is even more outstanding.

But Yan Heng only praised Yan Huan, and took a piece of jade pendant from his waist, and asked people around him to pass it to Yan Huan as a token of praise, while Yan Zheng only got one piece of money from each of the Yan family's children. .

"Study hard in the future, don't climb up on other people's walls to be mischievous again." Yan Heng waved his hand, and asked Yan Zheng and Yan Huan to be led out.

The people around were wondering how the two offshoot children were so lucky to be summoned by Yan Heng. Now when they heard the word "wall", they immediately thought about it and had an association.

Yan Yu who was still standing aside was blushing with embarrassment, wishing to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

The clansman at the table couldn't see him, so he stretched out his hand to give him a hand.

It was only then that Yan Yu realized that his current appearance was even more embarrassing, Yan Heng had already ignored him, but he was still standing there, and hurriedly sat down again, lowered his head, and did not dare to look at others again.

After seeing Yan Zheng, Yan Heng lost the mood to continue pretending to be false with these clansmen.

It happened that the noodles were almost eaten, so Yan Heng left the front hall in the name of visiting his wife, and took the guards to the courtyard where Wu Ming was resting.

But when he entered the yard, Yan Heng found that Wu Ming was sleeping soundly, and he didn't even touch the mat that was brought over.

"Madam has been sleeping?" Yan Heng turned to Aunt Lao and asked.

"Yes." Aunt Lao bowed in response.

Yan Heng immediately raised his eyebrows, "That is to say, you sent the two children to the front?"

"My lord, that's not a child anymore." Aunt Lao replied pointedly.

Yan Heng squinted his eyes and didn't ask any more questions here. He immediately gave the order to the guards to go back to the mansion, and then he personally picked Wu Ming from the couch and sent him directly to the ox cart.

But as soon as the curtain of the bullock cart was lifted, Yan Heng bumped into a pair of round eyes glowing with blue light. After looking carefully, he suddenly found a black crow in the bullock cart.

"Ahh!" Before Yan Heng came back to his senses, the crow let out an exclamation similar to a human voice, "Are you leaving now?"

Crows...can...talk? !

Yan Heng's body froze immediately, almost throwing Wu Ming off the car.

Fortunately, it was still early in the sky, Yan Heng finally did not lose his composure on the spot, but he still broke out in a cold sweat unconsciously.

"you……"

"Why did you come here?" Before Yan Heng could ask tentatively, Wu Ming in his arms was awakened by the crow's voice, and immediately jumped out of Yan Heng's arms, staring, "Didn't I tell you to come to me again at night?" ?"

"I just wanted to find you, so I followed you!" The crow explained solemnly, "If I don't follow you, how would I know where to find you?"

You are smart!

Wu Ming rolled his eyes, and then realized that Yan Heng seemed to be sending himself into the bullock cart, so he immediately turned his head and asked, "Going away?"

"Well," Yan Heng restrained the horror in his heart, "this one is..."

"Oh, I forgot to ask." Wu Ming turned around and asked the crow, "What's your name?"

"Udong, my name is Udong! The crow's crow, the winter's winter!" The crow spirit seemed very happy that Wu Ming could ask its name, "What about you? What's your name?"

What udon, but also Longjing!

Uh, no, udon seems to be noodles, not tea.

Wu Ming complained in his heart, but said: "You can call me my wife."

Wu Ming didn't want to mention Ruan Cheng's name, so he simply reported his identity to Wu Dong as a nickname.

"What about him?" Udon tilted his head and continued to ask.

"You can call him the Sheriff." Wu Ming simply introduced them, "You will live on his territory and eat the food he gives you, so treat him better and don't bully him."

"No way!" Udon turned his head and looked at Yan Heng with a pair of round eyes, as if remembering his appearance.

Wu Ming introduced to Yan Heng: "This is the crow on your ancestral hall, that is, the one who is going to live in your mansion temporarily."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yan Heng really didn't know what to say.

"It's a pleasure to meet you! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Udon answered in the same way.

Hearing Udong repeating his own words, Yan Heng thought of the starlings that were common in Xianyang Palace. Comparing the two sides, he immediately felt that the crow was somewhat similar to the starlings in both appearance and voice, and most of the fear dissipated immediately.

Yan Heng immediately settled down and coughed lightly, "It's not convenient to talk here, I'll entertain you well after I return to the mansion."

"Okay! Okay!" Udon spread his wings and flapped them twice to show his pleasure.

Yan Heng managed to squeeze out a smile, helped Wu Ming onto the bullock cart, then turned around and let out a long breath.
