Prodigal Goro-kun

Yan Qiuer actually didn't intend to paint, if it wasn't for avoiding Yan Sheng, he wouldn't choose to paint here and now.Perhaps it was because there was nothing intentional to draw, Yan Qiuer drew what he thought in his heart as he drew, and when he came to his senses, he found that the paper was actually Yan Sheng's appearance.

Since when did he always think about Yan Sheng?Yan Qiuer pursed her lips, intending to put the painting away before others found out, but a big hand stretched out from the opposite side and pressed it on the paper.Yan Qiuer looked up suspiciously, and was surprised to find that Yan Sheng, who had been far away from him before, had sat across from him at some point.

How long had Yan Sheng been sitting opposite him?Did he see the painting?

"The person in the painting...is me?" Yan Sheng had sat down opposite Yan Qiuer a long time ago, but seeing that Yan Qiuer was engrossed in the painting, he didn't bother him. During the period of Yan Qiuer's painting, he sorted out his emotions. When Yan Qiuer completed the painting, Yan Sheng had recovered his calm.

When the human figure first appeared on the paper, Yan Sheng thought that Yan Qiuer was going to paint a self-portrait, but he didn't expect that when the human figure gradually became full, Yan Sheng could see his own appearance.Looking at the lifelike man on the paper, Yan Sheng felt a surge of emotion in his heart.This kid can draw him stroke by stroke even when he is angry.

"No, no! Where is the fourth brother I drew!" Yan Qiuer pulled the painting out of Yan Sheng's palm with a little force, folded it in a panic, and pressed it under the paperweight.

Shiro?When Yan Sheng heard this, he turned his head to look at Yan Zheng suspiciously, and carefully looked Yan Zheng from head to toe, as if he was re-evaluating Yan Zheng's appearance.Taking a closer look, Yan Sheng found that Yan Zheng was indeed similar to him. They were blood relatives, and they were similar in appearance. In addition, Yan Zheng also had a quiet and indifferent temperament. In this way, Yan Zheng He became the child most similar to him in the backyard.Could it be that what Goro painted was really Shiro?

Yan Sheng pursed his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to pull out the painting that was pressed under the paperweight with lightning speed, moved his buttocks to the side and moved away from Yan Qiuer, and then unfolded the painting to look at it carefully .

"Eh? Dad, you!" When Yan Qiuer realized it, the painting was already in Yan Sheng's hand.Yan Qiuer stared angrily.

Yan Sheng glanced at Yan Qiuer complacently, and then continued to look at the painting. When he noticed the accessories tied around the waist of the person in the painting, Yan Sheng suddenly raised his head and shouted at Yan Zheng: "Silang, stand up."

Goro's painting was done casually, and it was generally clear, but some details were taken carelessly by him, such as the accessories on the waist, he only drew a ring, which looked like a nostalgic wall, his There is one around his waist, but who knows if Shiro has it?

"Ah?" Yan Zheng was taken aback when his name was suddenly called out, subconsciously obeying Yan Sheng's command and still making him stand up.

Yan Sheng glanced quickly across Yan Zheng's waist, then nodded in satisfaction: "Sit down."

What's the meaning?Yan Zheng blinked, seeing that Yan Sheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, and Yan Qiuer was also looking out the window with his neck straightened, Yan Zheng could only sit down in a daze.

"You painted Shiro?" Yan Sheng moved his butt back to the previous place, spread the painting in front of Yan Qiuer, and teased, "You drew Shiro after me?"

It was rare for Yan Sheng to have a smile on his face, but Yan Qiuer had no intention of admiring the handsomeness of the smiling face, and only gritted his teeth in hatred.Damn Yansheng!How happy is he!

Seeing Yan Qiuer's aggrieved expression with beard blowing and staring but speechless, Yan Sheng couldn't help laughing: "Are you still angry?"

"Why did Dad say that? Isn't Dad the one who is angry?"

"He said he wasn't angry, and his face was rounder than a mustache." Yan Sheng's hand itched for a long time, but he couldn't help it. He pinched Yan Qiuer's face, "Do you know why I'm angry?"

"Son is dull." Yan Qiuer rubbed his face, wondering if Yan Sheng just liked to see him angry and happy, how could the Patriarch of the Yan family have such a serious and cold look?I really want to remove the screen next to it, so that everyone outside can see what Yan Sheng looks like!

"Do you know that Qin Jiu and Lin Qian seem to be safe, but they are already in danger?"

Yan Qiuer originally thought that Yan Sheng would accuse him of not coming to Pingkangfang, but he had already thought up his rebuttal, but Yan Sheng named Qin Jiu and Lin Qian when he opened his mouth, and the conversation suddenly became serious Woke up, this change was unexpected by Yan Qiuer, Yan Qiuer was stunned for a moment, and didn't bother to answer Yan Sheng's question.

Seeing Yan Qiuer's dazed look, Yan Sheng thought that he really didn't expect this level, so he said: "No matter how dandy the Ninth Prince is, he is also a prince. Quan Cheng, maybe those who stared at him will make a move at any time, you just hang out with the two of them in the street like this? You even walked into Pingkangfang together on a good relationship? Besides, in a few days Shiro and I are about to enter the palace to face the saint, and strive for the opportunity to go north to return to He. The time of uniting with the Ninth Prince is the time of real hostility. But the three of you are walking on the street without even one of you? You almost drew a target on yourself!"

While talking, Yan Sheng paid attention to Yan Qiu'er's expression. Seeing that the anger on Yan Qiu'er's face gradually dissipated, Yan Sheng knew that he made the right choice to talk about this matter first.Lin Qian was right, he himself brought Shiro to Pingkangfang, if he wanted to stop Wulang from coming here to have fun, he really didn't have the confidence.Fortunately, Goro hadn't had time to do anything, and he hadn't done anything all this time, so let's postpone the discussion on this matter.

Yan Qiuer blinked.In fact, Yan Sheng didn't need to talk so much eloquently. He had already thought of the difficulties and dangers involved, but hasn't this battle not yet started?Why is Yansheng so nervous?And Yan Qiuer never expected that Yan Sheng would think of this matter the moment he saw him.Opening her mouth, Yan Qiuer just wanted to apologize for her misunderstanding of Yan Sheng, but after thinking about it, she felt that she shouldn't.

"There are only a few people in my yard, and it's the same with or without them, and there should be someone protecting the Ninth Prince in the dark."

"If there are people in the dark, why should I be angry?" The Ninth Prince and Lin Qianxu thought they could protect themselves, so they didn't bring their guards, but what about Wulang?Can Goro protect himself?If something really happens, can those two people protect Goro?Although they were at the center of the struggle for imperial power, those two people had never experienced any great dangers. Without such experience, they would not be able to make comprehensive arrangements anyway.

"That doesn't need father to worry. Since father wants to take good care of Yan's family, then let's think about Yan's family wholeheartedly. I can take care of myself."

"I'm your father, don't worry about who are you worried about?" This kid, why are you so stingy?It's rare for him to explain to others, did this kid listen?

"Father is not my father alone. There are many brothers and sisters who are younger than me in the backyard. If it is dangerous, they don't even have the slightest self-protection ability, which is more dangerous than mine. Father will help them Worry about it." Why is Yan Sheng so pestering today?Didn't he just want to distance himself?Then why not let the two have nothing to do with this quarrel?Isn't this the best time?He has already expressed his understanding, why is Yan Sheng like this?

"Are they you?" Yan Sheng blurted out his rebuttal, and after the words came out, both of them were taken aback.

"So what if it's me? So what if it's not me? What's the difference between me and them being Father's children?" Yan Sheng treated Yan Qi's nephews indifferently, and he, who had nothing to do with him, was special. where?

"It's different." Goro is Goro, how can he be the same as other children?

"What's the difference?" Yan Qiuer asked.

This question is for Yansheng to ask.What is the difference?He couldn't tell the difference, but for so many years, Goro was the only child who made him feel close to him, and today he found that he couldn't even see Goro being angry, even if it cost a little bit of dignity, he wanted to see it Goro's smile.In front of Wu Lang, his words and deeds no longer look like the head of the Yan family, so what is his identity in front of Wu Lang?Father?Could it be that his father's love suddenly broke out?It doesn't seem right, his father didn't treat him like this when he was young.what is that?Yan Sheng couldn't think of the right words to describe his feelings for Yan Qiu'er, and he couldn't tell the difference between Yan Qiu'er, so Yan Sheng only replied Yan Qiu'er.

"I don't know."

Yan Qiuer was dumbfounded.Yan Sheng thought for a long time, he waited for a long time, and finally he got such a short and meaningless answer? The word "I don't know" doesn't seem like an answer that Yan Sheng would say, why did he give him such an answer?Looking carefully at Yan Sheng's expression, Yan Qiuer didn't see any signs of perfunctory or concealment.Could it be that Yan Sheng made such an answer seriously?Yan Qiuer was at a loss.

Yan Sheng couldn't explain Yan Qiu'er's doubts anymore, so he didn't say any more, but only said his final conclusion: "In short, you should stay where I can see you. From tomorrow onwards, you will still come to Shi'an Garden."

"But……"

"If you find it troublesome, you can move directly into Shi'an Garden." After finishing speaking, Yan Sheng didn't give Yan Qiuer the slightest chance to object, got up and went around the screen, leaving only Yan Qiuer and the portrait in front of him Wide-eyed and small-eyed.

Yan Sheng, so what?Isn't he worried that pampering someone alone will cause others to rebel?Isn't he worried that the Yan family is falling apart?Keeping him by his side is obviously harmful but not beneficial, how could Yan Sheng not know what kind of impact it will have in the future?If so, why insist?Could it be that he is so important to Yansheng that it is worth Yansheng's risk?This thought made Yan Qiuer's heart tremble, and after a moment, Yan Qiuer suppressed it forcefully.

Maybe Yansheng is just a burst of fatherly love.Yan Qiuer hastily made a conclusion, drawing an end to this matter, completely refusing to think about why there are so many children in the backyard, Yan Sheng alone has "fatherly love" for him, that answer is not suitable for Yan Sheng The style does not conform to his cognition, and he dare not delve into it.

Has the alarm been lifted?As soon as they heard the sound of footsteps, Liang Cheng and the others all turned their heads to look over. Seeing that Yan Sheng was in a good mood, they felt a little relieved.Liang Cheng, who always had to think more, looked behind Yan Sheng, but he didn't see Yan Qiu'er following him.Liang Cheng frowned worriedly.But it must not be that the lord is in a good mood alone, but Mr. Wulang is still angry. In that case, this problem is equivalent to not being solved.

"Where did you talk?" Yan Sheng, who was in a good mood, didn't notice Liang Cheng's worries at all, so he found a place to sit down, and was about to talk about serious business.I couldn't discuss anything this morning because I was thinking about Goro, so let's finish it together while I'm in a good mood.

Yan Zheng replied naturally: "Back to Father, according to His Highness Ninth Highness, it is customary to hand over the royal business affairs to the Zuo family, so this time His Majesty also left the Zuo family and did not think otherwise. We want to take over the Zuo family. It's not easy to get this piece of meat on the left side of the house."

Yan Sheng frowned.He has been chatting with Goro for a long time, and these people only discussed this issue?Yan Sheng looked at Liang Cheng suspiciously.

"My lord, acting lightly will cause the Zuo family and the prince to hold grudges, and it may be dangerous. Therefore, His Royal Highness wants to find a safe opportunity to mention this matter with the saint in a safe way."

"Remember the grudge?" Yan Sheng sneered, "If you don't want to incur resentment, then don't go grab that piece of meat." No matter what they do, the purpose is clear and clear to everyone. They have to do both, and are they afraid of being resented?

"That being said, I don't want to hurt the Yan family." Qin Jiu looked at Yan Sheng sincerely.The Yan family is the support of Fusheng.

"When you all formed an alliance with Yan Xun, the Yan family has already entered the water. Either Yan Xun will stop here, or the Yan family will go all out, otherwise the Yan family will be hard to get rid of."

Qin Jiu frowned, thinking about what Yan Sheng said, thinking about his chances of winning without the Yan family.

"How is the relationship between Ninth Brother and Jiangnan Yi's family?" Yan Qiuer came out from behind the screen, his usual smile returning to his face.

The Jiangnan Yi family is a wealthy businessman in the Jiangnan area, and its influence in Jiangnan is far greater than that of the Jiangnan Yan family. Yan Qiuer remembered that it was the Jiangnan Yi family who supported Qin Jiu with financial resources in his previous life.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Qin Jiu touched his nose with embarrassment.

Lin Qian chuckled, and answered this question for Qin Jiu: "The Jiangnan Yi family was originally a relative of his mother and concubine's natal family. The relationship between Qin Jiu and the Jiangnan Yi family has always been good. It's just that Qin Jiu's Only then did he reject the marriage with the only daughter of the Yi family, so..."

Refuse to marry?Yan Qiuer's footsteps stopped, and he asked inexplicably, "Why?"

"It's not all because of..."

"Tsk! Shut up!" Qin Jiu covered Lin Qian's mouth, turned his head and gave Yan Qiuer a dry laugh, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just not what you want, hehe."

Yan Qiuer's mind was spinning so fast, with such a connection between past and present lives, Yan Qiuer immediately knew where the problem was.

"Ninth Brother, please remember that the Yan family is just a mere merchant." If Qin Jiuruo really rejected the in-laws with the Yi family for the sake of life, then Yan Qiu'er had to remind him.

Although the ladies of the Yan family can marry wealthy businessmen or courtiers, it is extremely difficult to marry into the royal family. If they are born in merchants, even if they are selected by the royal family, they can only enter the mansion as concubines. People are concubines.Yan Qiuer only hoped that Qin Jiu could understand his hint, think carefully, don't be impulsive at this time, and blame Fusheng when he encounters obstacles in the future.

Qin Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and then became serious: "I know. This matter has nothing to do with Fu Sheng, it's my own consideration."

Although the Yi family was close to him, it seemed that they were too close. Seeing that he was helpless, they became more and more arrogant relying on the money that the Yi family could give him. If he really married the daughter of the Yi family, in the future, although With financial backing, he would inevitably feel a little useless, so after weighing with Lin Qian, he rejected the marriage.

What's more, he really has a heart for Yan Fusheng. In this case, as long as Fusheng is unmarried, as long as he still has a chance, he will not marry another woman for any reason. Unless one day he no longer likes Fusheng, how can his sincerity be Doesn't look like a joke?Qin Jiu, who grew up in the palace, has seen too many tragedies, but he doesn't want his life to become a tragedy full of regret.

"Ninth Brother, that's good if you know." Yan Qiuer walked to Yan Zheng's right hand side, just about to sit down, but was dragged by Yan Sheng who was sitting on Yan Zheng's left hand side, Yan Qiuer gritted his teeth, and resisted staring Yansheng, "Fusheng is my older sister. I want her to be happy, and I don't want her to get into any trouble."

Qin Jiu grinned and nodded.

"That is to say, the current situation is three families confronting each other, the Zuo family standing behind the crown prince, the Yi family and the Yan family who were abandoned by the ninth brother." After Yan Qiuer finished speaking, he turned to look at Yan Sheng who was beside him.When talking about business, he still put personal matters aside, and after returning home, he would have plenty of time to discuss personal matters with Yan Sheng.

"Why do you suddenly think of Jiangnan Yi's family?" Yan Sheng was very curious about this question.They never thought about the Yi family from the beginning to the end, so how could Goro bring it up?

"Father should chat with the servants and maids in the mansion more, so as to gain knowledge."

Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows.How could the servants in his mansion know so much?Goro just talk nonsense.

Without continuing to pester Yan Qiuer, Yan Sheng thought about it for a moment, and then asked Liang Chengdao: "What happened to the Jiangnan Yi family recently? Have you been to Huai'an?"

"Is the lord worried that they will seek refuge with King Huai'an?" After asking, Liang Cheng seriously recalled the information he had received recently, "It seems that there is none."

There's none?Do you plan to go to Huai'an, or wait for the opportunity?Yan Sheng and Yan Qiuer looked at each other, thinking silently.

"Even if they want to seek refuge with King Huai'an, there's no need to go to Huai'an, right?" Yan Zheng expressed his thoughts.

"Not going to Huai'an?" Yan Xun rubbed his chin, "Not going to Huai'an, how will they get in touch with King Huai'an?"

"Then... Let's have a tryst elsewhere." Lin Qian's mouth twitched into a wicked smile.

Yan Xun suddenly realized, and then he had a bitter face: "Then it will be troublesome, Tianlan Kingdom is such a big place, how can we determine when and where they will meet?"

"You don't have to worry about this cousin." Yan Zheng smiled complacently, "How many branches does my cousin think our Yan family has in Tianlan? How many post stations? How many caravans go back and forth?"

"I will let people inquire about the movements of Jiangnan Yi's family and Huai'an, but it may not be comparable to the information obtained by His Highness the Ninth Prince himself." Yan Sheng took this matter under his control.

"I don't have any information." Qin Jiu shook his head and smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that I will cooperate with the king of Huai'an, and the crown prince will keep a close eye on me. I can only move around in Chang'an city, and I can't stretch my arms that long."

Yan Qiuer turned his eyebrows and said, "The prince is already in the position of prince, and he is favored by the emperor. According to his temperament, he will be on guard against Brother Jiu who has nothing to do?"

Qin Jiu was taken aback, and looked at Lin Qian. After exchanging ideas, he turned to Yan Qiuer and said, "The battle for the throne is like walking on thin ice. Although the crown prince is conceited, he is not a fool. What's more, there are many staff and followers around the prince, they are all from the same boat, and they will always remind the prince."

"That's true." Yan Qiuer nodded, she seemed to have some doubts, but she didn't say it out.

"Those are all things to talk about. Now we have to think about how to enter the palace to face the saint. We have to think about the first step." Thinking along the train of thought of several people, Yan Xun found that they didn't even understand the first question. Not resolved yet.

"Isn't that very simple?" Yan Qiuer laughed.

"Easy? Qiuer has a solution?" Lin Qian and Qin Jiu, who had been thinking hard but had no results, immediately opened their eyes and looked at Yan Qiuer expectantly.

"I heard that the empress dowager is old and has no other hobbies, but likes to admire some rare treasures." Having said this, Yan Qiuer stopped and looked at the expressions of several people to see who could think of him first Think of the way.

"You've heard a lot." Yan Sheng glanced at Yan Qiuer, "Did you also hear that the Yan family has a caravan that just came back from the Western Regions and is now in Chang'an?"

"That's right." How could Yan Sheng always think of going with him?This kind of feeling that the heroes see the same thing is really very pleasant, "When the caravans of the Yan family go out, they can always bring back something different, and among them, there may be treasures that can catch the eyes of the empress dowager. ?”

The corners of Yan Sheng's mouth raised slightly, and he reached out to ruffle Yan Qiu'er's hair.

"Qiuer's idea is good, but the harem is important, so you can enter it casually if you say you have treasures?" Qin Jiu shook his head, feeling that this method would not work.

"Men can't get in, so don't women get in too?" The smile on Yan Qiuer's face deepened.He has a perfect candidate.

"Women can enter, but where do you get a woman? It has to be one of us." Lin Qian didn't think of the candidate in Yan Qiuer's mind for a moment, but shook his head frequently, and also felt that Yan Qiuer's method would not work. .

"Why isn't there?" Yan Qiuer smiled more happily, "Isn't there one beside us? Brother Nine and Brother Qian are familiar."

Except for Yan Sheng, everyone looked at Yan Qiuer blankly, and those who suddenly thought of that candidate turned to surprise in an instant.

"Qiu'er, don't tell me that the candidate in your heart is Yan Fusheng." Thinking of the slightly courageous Yan Fusheng, Lin Qian didn't know whether to say she was suitable or not.

"No! Fusheng is not allowed!" Before Yan Qiuer could say anything, Qin Jiu objected.

"Why not?" Yan Qiuer raised his eyebrows, "Fusheng is the daughter of the Yan family, Brother Ninth, don't underestimate her."
