"It's okay, it's okay."

Xi Anlin smiled freely, raised his head and swallowed the pill, then waved to the two of them: "Come here and show the old man."

The two first glanced at Qu Zhong, saw him nodding, and then rushed over with short legs.

Especially Qu Hongyu, this guy has taken too many pills since he was a child, and his physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people. When he is hit by him, ordinary people feel like they have been hit by a stone.

Thanks to his good eyes, he ran to the front and controlled his pace.

"Grandpa, you look so handsome."

But the footsteps were controlled, and the guy's mouth started talking nonsense again.

Qu Zhong controlled the urge to step forward and kick his ass, covered his face with his hand, and moved two steps to the side.

Unexpectedly, Xi Anlin was not angry when he heard this, but laughed out loud, "You are the first person to say that about me."

The oppression in the chest eased a lot, and the stomach gradually began to warm up, and even the trembling calves seemed to be much better.

Looking at Qu Zhong in surprise, Xi Anlin rubbed the heads of the two children: "How old are you?"

"I am ten years old."

"I'm seven years old."

The two answered obediently, looking at the person opposite with their eyes shining brightly, without even blinking.

"well."

After saying two good words, Xi Anlin laughed and touched his smooth chin, feeling very satisfied with the adoring eyes of the two.

"Hehe, hehe." Smiling as he approached the two, Qu Zhong diverted the conversation: "I'd better help you back to your room, my lord."

Only he knew that the eyes of the two of them were purely curious.

Even when a big yellow dog with a slick face passed by the door, the two of them had to stare at it for a long time, using all the words of praise they had learned.

"I'll help grandpa."

"I'll help you too."

The two scrambled to go up to the front, and the other held an arm, wishing they could become crutches.

"Stinky boy, I didn't see you being so filial to me." Gritting his teeth, Qu Zhong patted it lightly, and Qu Zhong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Two sycophants, I don't know who I learned from.

Lingmo Dog just passed by a few people, and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I learned it from you."

Qu Zhong: "..."

Please shut up!

Xi Anlin obviously enjoyed this feeling very much, and stood up with his arms crossed: "Then let's go."

The three left the front hall talking and laughing, leaving only Qu Zhong standing there sadly.

Before the son was brought up, he only left a shadow of the old father.

After marrying a daughter-in-law, I am afraid that he has long been forgotten.

acid!So sour!

***

one year later.

"Hong Yu?"

In the yard, Xi Anlin was holding a book in his hand, looked at Qu Hongyu in surprise, and asked incredulously.

Yesterday he was still a chubby child, but today his whole face is red, and there is still a thick layer of plaster on his face.

"It's me, Grandpa."

Scratching his cheek embarrassingly, Qu Hongyu replied with his big eyes blinking.

"You are..."

Before he finished speaking, another black boy who was also covered with plaster came and opened his mouth. He asked uncertainly, "Pine nuts?"

"It's me, Grandpa."

Liu Song lowered his head, dodging Xi Anlin's gaze, and the chubby hand scratched his belt uneasily.

In the end, Qu Zhong, who was following the two of them, answered his doubts aloud: "The two played in the water all day yesterday."

It's the sunniest months in Danshan County, but these two boys played in the water tank in the backyard for a day, and their faces were peeled off.

"You deserve it." Holding back a smile, Xi Anlin pointed at the tip of their noses: "You guys will suffer tonight."

Today's Xi Anlin is dressed in white, and there are some short gray stubble growing on his smooth chin.

The gray and gray on his face had disappeared, his rosy cheeks had become fatter, and even the wrinkles on his face had decreased a lot.

Even Qiu Xian, who came to see him occasionally, couldn't help showing surprise.

Xi Anlin's complexion was getting better day by day, and his body was slowly getting smokey, not like the otherworldly look when he was in the palace.

"That's what they deserve."

Qu Zhong was unmoved, just glanced sideways at the two of them, and then lay down on another reclining chair.

"Father, you are my father, you can't leave me alone."

Hearing that he would suffer at night, Qu Hongyu immediately leaned over like a dog, and beat him on the shoulder attentively.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Qu Zhong completely ignored the two of them.

The big vat was originally used by him to wash and dry, and to make wine.

Not only did the two brats take a bath in it, but they accidentally kicked a hole when they came out. It would be considered kind of him to be able to give them medicine.

Seeing this, Liu Song immediately shifted his target, and stepped forward to beat Xi Anlin's back: "Grandpa, help us."

"You ruined my painting the day before yesterday, and I haven't punished you yet."

"This……"

Liu Song was at a loss for words for a while, and the movement of beating his back also slowed down.

The day before yesterday, he heard that there was a famous painting in his grandfather's room, so he took Qu Hongyu into the room and found it.

Afraid of being discovered, the two only dared to watch quietly with candles on.

Unexpectedly, the wax dripped onto the painting, and the two wiped it with their sleeves in desperation. The candle fell on the painting, burning the painting into a black hole.

For this reason, Qu Zhong slapped the palms of the two of them hard, and copied the Three Character Classic a hundred times as a punishment, which taught them a profound lesson.

Originally, he wanted to punish the two of them to take the painting to a craftsman to restore it, but Xi Anlin stopped him.

"But." After glancing at the two of them, Xi Anlin put down his book and rubbed his stomach, and said to himself, "I want to eat Jinluoxuan's osmanthus cake."

"We're going to buy it right now."

As if seeing a savior, the two of them ran out of the courtyard door like the wind, and went straight to Jinluoxuan.

Seeing the two running away, Qu Zhong sighed: "You, you spoil these children too much."

Since moving into Qu Zhai, Xi Anlin's health has improved day by day, and he has become more and more doting on the children, just like an ordinary grandfather doting on his grandson.

A few days ago, he burned the valuable painting, and he just laughed, and gave the painting to the two to copy.

Not to mention the pens, inks, papers and inkstones and gadgets that I usually buy for a few people, even after Liu Yong and Liu Shi were admitted as scholars, even the academy was found by Xi Anlin.

"It's okay to pet a little, and it's not impossible." Xi Anlin waved his hand at Qu Zhong indifferently.

Qu Zhong: "..."

"After Xiao Er and Xiao Si come back in a few days, I will take them into the palace. The emperor wants to see them."

As if feeling that his words were not enough, Xi Anlin uttered another shocking news.

Enter the palace!

"Why did you enter the palace?"

Qu Zhong didn't lie down anymore, he hurriedly struggled to get up, accidentally fell off the recliner in his panic, and fell all over the place.

"Haha" first pointed at Qu Zhong and laughed at him twice, then Xi Anlin comforted him: "The emperor just rewarded the child with some writing, you don't need to worry."

Of course, there were other things involved, Xi Anlin felt that it was not suitable to talk to Qu Zhong now, so he didn't mention it.

"Just a reward?"

Patting the ashes of his robe, Qu Zhong asked in disbelief.

"It's just a reward." Xi Anlin replied affirmatively.

Suspiciously looking at this calm person, Qu Zhong put aside his doubts for the time being.

Although it is still unclear why, based on Xi Anlin's concern for these children, Qu Zhong thinks it will not be a bad thing.

Even Lingmo Dog said that King Lanbei's affection for these children could be clearly felt by him.

"That's fine, I'm going to take a long trip just after a while."

Since there was nothing to do here, Qu Zhong decided to go out for a walk according to the established arrangement.

It will take two years for Liu Yong to take the Juren examination, and the two of them have already been taught in a formal academy, so Qu Zhong is free.

As for Qu Hongyu and Liu Song, with Xi Anlin's teaching, Qu Zhong needn't worry.

Now he has to devote more energy to expanding his own business. It is best to be an imperial businessman, so that only money can help a few people go further in the future.

"Oh! How long are you going to go?"

"A year and a half?" Or longer. "

"so long?"

Xi Anlin was really surprised this time, he didn't expect Qu Zhong to go for so long.

And he just handed over the child to him with such peace of mind, and left without worrying at all.

"Yes!"

With a long sigh, Qu Zhong leaned back on the back of the chair, and smiled softly: "Anyway, I don't worry about entrusting the children to you."

Xi Anlin leaped over the chair with his long legs, and kicked Qu Zhong's waist, until he kicked him off the recliner again, and then he lay back satisfied.

"Don't think that because you saved me, I have to raise the child for you."

Hehe smirked twice, Qu Zhong got up from the ground, and patted the dust on his robe.

"I didn't say that, I just saw that you like these children so much."

"A smooth-tongued person."

"You are always a duplicity person."

"Don't blame me for raising the child crookedly."

"No way, I believe you."

"Hmph!" Rolling his eyes, Xi Anlin turned over, not going to talk to Qu Zhong anymore.

He really liked the children Qu Zhong raised, whether it was Liu Yong, who was about to grow up, or Qu Hongyu, who was mischievous.

These children have different temperaments, but they are all pure and kind-hearted, and treat everyone with a heart of innocence.

When he heard that none of these people were related to Qu Zhong by blood, he was shocked.

Such a group of people gathered together is much better than the palace where the father is kind and the son is filial.

Among his nephews, except for the prince who still has a bit of father-son affection for the emperor, the other princes have long since disowned their relatives in order to compete for the throne, hoping that the other party will die soon after.

So Qu Zhong said that he would not misrepresent these children, and Xi Anlin himself agreed.

"The children are counting on you."

Instead of lying down again, Qu Zhong took two steps forward, bent down and bowed his hands solemnly towards Xi Anlin.

"You." Xi Anlin sat up in shock, and looked at Qu Zhong with a somewhat awkward expression: "Get up quickly, I agree with you."

The two had known each other for more than a year, and it was the first time he had seen Qu Zhong talk to him so seriously.

He still wasn't used to talking like this from a person who always had a hippie smile on his face.

"It's just that you will be less used to those two boys, Qu Hongyu and Liu Song."

After getting the promise, Qu Zhong's expression became more relaxed, and he couldn't help but hastily added this sentence.

"Hmph!" Rolling a blank look at Qu Zhong, Xi Anlin snorted dissatisfiedly: "I want you to take care of it."

Qu Zhong: "..."

Well, his kind reminder was actually regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs.

A few days after the conversation between the two, news came from the caravan that the team to the border would be leaving in a few days.

Qu Zhong didn't tell anyone except Xi Anlin.

On a very ordinary morning, Qu Zhong carried a small bundle and boarded the carriage under the watchful eyes of Xi An Lindi.

"please."

Opening the curtain of the car, Qu Zhong stepped out and waved his hands: "You should also take care of yourself."

"You too, be more careful along the way." Xi Anlin also waved his hand, a look of loneliness flashed across his face.
