Concentricity

Here Nie Yun and Chen Liang are busy with getting married for them, so busy that they don't touch the ground.The only one who was kept in the dark was Chen Pingsheng, but these days everyone was busy, and he also saw some clues.

Mo Jinyan was too embarrassed to hide it from him, so he said to Chen Pingsheng: "Brother Chen, it's a little hard to tell, but I didn't mean to hide it from you. I really don't know how to tell you."

Chen Pingsheng said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, what is the relationship between our brothers, and there is nothing to hide."

Mo Jinyan blushed and said, "The sixteenth of next month, I want to form a bond with brother Yu."

"What?" Chen Pingsheng was taken aback, "You, you want to become brothers?"

Mo Jinyan nodded: "Yes."

Chen Pingsheng slapped Mo Jinyan on the back: "You boy, keep your head covered and you can't make a sound. When you make a sound, it's a big noise! ​​It's hard to hide it from my brother." like a joke.

Mo Jinyan pretended to cough a few times: "Brother Chen, take it easy! Isn't this embarrassing?"

Chen Pingsheng lowered his voice, and asked curiously: "Xiaoyan, do you really have this relationship with Mr. Yu?"

Mo Jinyan blushed and nodded.

"Hey, I'm talking about you kid. When did you have such thoughts? You told me before that he was your sworn brother. I think sworn brotherhood is false, but brotherhood is true, right?" Chen Pingsheng smiled narrowly, "You When did you start liking men?"

Mo Jinyan waved his hands again and again: "No, I've never liked anyone else, I just like him." He thought to himself that he would like Yu Simian, wasn't it Chen Pingsheng who gave him advice, and he was half a matchmaker.

Chen Pingsheng laughed and said: "It's normal to only like Mr. Yu. He looks so handsome. I've never seen anyone more handsome than him. But Xiaoyan, you are not bad. Compared with Mr. Yu, no, you Is Master Yu still pretty?" Chen Pingsheng looked Mo Jinyan up and down, and finally came to such a conclusion, "Last Chinese New Year, when you wore that fur dress, you were so handsome!"

Mo Jinyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what was going on: "By the way, Brother Chen, I'm going back to Changle when the time comes."

"Why go back to Changle?" Chen Pingsheng was a little puzzled.

Mo Jinyan said embarrassedly: "Brother Yu will pick me up over there then."

Chen Pingsheng suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, come to pick up the bride. I should go back, I should go back, and then I will go back and help clean up the yard."

"Then thank you, Brother Chen." Mo Jinyan thanked him sincerely. To be honest, although Chen Pingsheng's words were a bit rough, his heart was genuinely enthusiastic.

A few days later, Lu Saihu returned to Fuqing with all the seagoing ships, and completed the handover and registration procedures at Wan'an Office.Guan Longfei was released soon, and changed into the court order officer Zhaoxin Xiaowei, who was in charge of maritime patrol.

Yu Simian promised Guan Longfei that the Guan family's original dozens of ships would still be under his command, but the role of this ship was no longer for smuggling, but for dealing with pirates and hunting down other smuggling ships and pirate ships.

But before taking office, he had to report to the commander of the Fujian capital.The reporting could have been handled by Tolerance, but this time Yu Simian took the initiative to take over the matter. He wanted to take Mo Jinyan to Fuzhou to visit the Jiangcheng couple.

"Brother Yu, let's not visit your elders." Mo Jinyan hesitated when Yu Simian proposed to take him to meet relatives.

Yu Simian put the gift into the gift box, turned to him and said, "What's wrong?"

Don't say anything.

Yu Simian laughed: "It's okay, don't be afraid, that is one of my elder uncles, his wife and my mother are sisters in the boudoir, he treated me very well when I was young, just happened to be transferred to Fuzhou in the past two years, let's go visit , let the elders know about us."

Mo Jinyan only heard Yu Simian talk about his family background intermittently. He knew that he had lost his mother since he was a child just like himself, but his father seemed not as good as his own. Wealth, in fact, is no happier than my own childhood.

"That's it, then I should pay a visit." Anyone who treats Brother Yu well is worthy of respect.

Yu Simian touched his hand comfortingly: "Don't worry, Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi are very good people, they will definitely like you." He said everything, but he didn't intend to hide his words. Introducing him to his relatives and friends was the minimum respect and recognition for him.

Yu Simian brought Mo Jinyan and a group of soldiers, rode on the road, traveled northward, and soon arrived in the Fuzhou Basin.

Fuzhou City was built in this basin, and banyan trees were planted all over the city.It is said that a prefect in the Northern Song Dynasty planted two banyan trees in front of the government office in Fuzhou, and called on the people of the city to plant banyan trees.

When you enter the city, you can see the lush banyan trees, which are green and cool.The branches of the banyan tree beside the road are densely covered with the roots of the banyan tree, which are long and thick like the beard of an old man, which is quite interesting.

Yu Simian did not go directly to Jiangfu, but took a group of people to live in the post house, rested for a day, and then took Mo Jinyan and Chen Liang to Jiangfu the next day.

The concierge of Jiang's mansion had a keen eye, and he recognized Yu Simian when he saw him: "It turns out that Master Yu is here, please."

Yu Simian said politely: "Brother Lao Men will lead the way. Is your lord at the house?"

The concierge said: "Your Excellency is still in the yamen at the moment, and he will not come back until noon, but the madam is here." The concierge called a little maid by the way, and told her to inform the madam immediately.

The three of them had just sat down in the front hall, and before the tea was poured, they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.Before the person arrived, he heard an overjoyed voice: "But Si Mian has arrived?"

Yu Simian stood up quickly, and Mo Jinyan also quickly got up when he saw this.Yu Simian just took a step forward, and before he had time to greet him, a dark purple figure rushed over: "Ah, it really is Si Mian. It's strange that my eyelids have been twitching so much these past two days. It turns out that there are guests here. Don't you, Si Mian?" Honestly, why haven't you seen us for so long?" Mrs. Jiang grabbed Yu Simian and looked her up and down, saying she was thinner and darker.

Yu Simian hurriedly asked An and said hello: "Auntie how is it these days? I have always wanted to visit my aunt, but Simian has been busy with work, so I only found time to come to Fuzhou recently."

Mrs. Jiang feigned anger and said: "Is it because your uncle has arranged too many things for you, so you are too busy? I will scold him when he comes back. You should spend more time to accompany me, an old man, here is a I don't have any acquaintances, and if I want to talk about old things in the capital, no one will talk to me."

In fact, Yu Simian had been away from the capital longer than she did, and I am afraid that there are not many common topics, and it is nothing more than those anecdotes in Beijing that were heard by hearsay.

Yu Simian smiled and said: "Yes, yes, in the future, Si Mian will definitely spend more time talking with Auntie. By the way, Auntie, I brought someone to see you today. This is my younger brother. Mo Jinyan, Xiao Mo .”

Mo Jinyan was relieved when he heard that he only introduced himself as his younger brother. He was afraid that Yu Simian would tell people "this is my Qidi" as soon as he opened his mouth, so that there would be no room for the two parties to change things.Quickly and obediently came up to say hello: "Ma'am!"

Mrs. Jiang let go of Yu Simian's hand, turned her face to look at Mo Jinyan, and immediately smiled: "Ah, whose child is this, he looks so handsome. Si Mian, I don't think he is much better than you."

Mo Jinyan blushed and didn't know how to answer. He lacked maternal love since he was a child, and he was never good at dealing with women, especially older women.

Yu Simian smiled and said: "Auntie, is my younger brother good-looking? He is not small, he is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, but he is a general."

Mrs. Jiang smiled until the crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes. She looked her up and down, "Oh, you're really so capable? Where did you get it?"

"I picked it up by the river." Yu Simian half-jokingly said that it was indeed picked up by the river, but the one picked up was himself.

Mrs. Jiang obviously didn't believe it, so she rolled her eyes at him: "Just talk to me. By the way, where is your luggage?"

Yu Simian said: "Auntie, we are staying in the post house."

Mrs. Jiang raised her eyebrows: "Si Mian, you are doing it wrong. You have separated from your aunt. Last time you came to live in my house, how can you live in a post house this time? Hurry up and pack up and move to the mansion. Come here."

Yu Simian smiled apologetically, "Auntie, this time we came here for business, and we brought a lot of people here, so it's more convenient to live in a posthouse."

Mrs. Jiang has the frankness of a northern girl. She waved her hand: "I don't care. Those people live in a post house. How can you live in a post house? The post house is not clean and the food is not good. Come to my house as a guest." What's the point of living outside. Lan Fen, go and clean up the three guest rooms and arrange for Mr. Yu and Mr. Mo to stay there."

A capable servant girl replied respectfully: "Yes, ma'am."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Yu Simian could only say: "Auntie, you don't need to tidy up so many houses, Xiao Mo and I can live in one room."

Mrs. Jiang came in without knowing it: "It's not that there is no room, why bother to squeeze in one?"

When Yu Simian wanted to say something, Mo Jinyan quietly pinched him.Yu Simian turned to look at him, Mo Jinyan winked at him and told him to stop talking.

Yu Simian smiled and said: "Then I'll have to work." You can make arrangements, it's up to me whether to live or not.

Yu Simian and Mo Jinyan chatted with Mrs. Jiang until noon, when Jiang Cheng finally came back from the Yamen, and they had to exchange pleasantries for a while.

After lunch, Yu Simian and Jiang Cheng went to the study to chat about business, while Mrs. Jiang dragged Mo Jinyan to chat in the gazebo in the garden.

"To tell the truth, how old is this year?" Mrs. Jiang has the common characteristics of women of this age-enthusiasm, love to care about the private affairs of the younger generation.

Mo Jinyan was a little embarrassed by Mrs. Jiang's polite question: "Returning to Madam, I am twenty years old this year."

"Are you married yet?" Mrs. Jiang asked enthusiastically.

Mo Jinyan blushed a little and shook his head: "Not yet." But soon.

Mrs. Jiang's eyes sparkled: "Where is Jinyan from? What does the family do, but who else is there?"

Mo Jinyan was a little uncomfortable with this kind of enthusiasm, lowered his eyes and said: "I am from Changle. My family used to be a fisherman, but now I have no relatives."

Mrs. Jiang immediately became motherly: "Ah, what a poor child, he is about the same age as our Si Mian. He has no mother since he was a child, and his father doesn't care about him. It is equivalent to not having a father. His younger brothers and sisters stared at him like a tiger, and he was also a poor child."

Mo Jinyan pricked up his ears, he had never heard Yu Simian talk about his aunt and younger siblings, it turned out that when he was a child, he was really more pitiful than himself, not being loved by his parents, but also being squeezed and mean.

Mrs. Jiang continued: "Si Mian is a pitiful child. I thought that when he grows up and has a family, someone will love him. It turned out to be good. When he first came to Fujian, he heard that he was married here. I married a relative, but the girl was unlucky, she died at a young age. I asked him to remarry, but he said that his wish was not fulfilled, but he didn't want to. Hey, it's not a problem if it goes on like this!"

Mo Jinyan was shocked when he heard the words. If he hadn't heard Chen Liang mention this matter, how would he know that the dead wife mentioned by Mrs. Jiang was himself.His heart clenched tightly into a ball, tears filled his eyes, almost rolled down, Brother Yu will be hurt by someone in the future, if they don't love him, he will love him himself.

Mrs. Jiang saw that he lowered his head and said nothing: "Jin Yan, have you seen your sister-in-law?"

Mo Jinyan sniffed his nose lightly to cover up his emotions: "I should have seen it."

Mrs. Jiang didn't notice the word "should", but asked eagerly: "How is that girl? Is she a very good person, otherwise how could Si Mian never forget her."

Mo Jinyan nodded embarrassingly: "It is very good." He is really not good at boasting himself.

"I see." Mrs. Jiang sighed, feeling a little regretful, "Do you know how she died?"

Mo Jinyan shook his head: "I don't know."

Mrs. Jiang was a little disappointed, she leaned back in the chair a little, and changed the subject: "I mean, did you ever have a girl you liked?"

"No." Mo Jinyan had the urge to run away. Why is Mrs. Jiang talking about marriage? Did Brother Yu and Mr. Jiang have a clear discussion? Hurry up and find an excuse to get yourself out.

Mrs. Jiang didn't know what was on his mind, she asked enthusiastically, "Do you have any request, let me introduce one for you."

Mo Jinyan waved his hands again and again: "Thank you Madam, I don't need it anymore." Mo Jinyan is inherently honest, if he wants to change to a tricky person, he will definitely answer it casually, so he refuses Mrs. Jiang. Anyway, Mrs. Jiang is not. Will chase after him to see if he is married or not.

Mrs. Jiang said strangely: "Hey, I said what's wrong with you two brothers, he doesn't have a family, why don't you have a family? What do you think?"

Mo Jinyan blushed, he couldn't say: The two of us are going to get married soon.
