Prodigal Goro-kun

Chapter 75

Afraid of being caught by Mrs. Yan, she did not dare to go around to the front gate of Shi'an Garden, so Yan Qiuer had to climb over the wall all the way back to Xiyuan. When she returned to her own courtyard, Yan Qiuer felt more and more like a thief.Alas, this is because he is afraid of making Mrs. Yan faint, otherwise he would not be a thief!

"Eh? Mr. Wulang, why are you back?" Xia Yun who came out of the wing room was surprised when he saw Yan Qiuer.

Yan Qiuer turned her head to look at Xia Yun, curled her lips and said, "This is my own yard, why can't I come back?"

"Yes! Why can't!" Seeing that Yan Qiuer seemed to lose his temper, Xia Yun quickly put away his surprise, looked at Yan Qiuer with a smile on his face and said, "It's not that Mr. Wulang has been busy since he passed away and studied with the lord in Anyuan. You have time to come back. I heard that something big happened in the mansion today. Even the old lady of the family has come. Didn’t the servant girl think that you will also discuss matters with the lord in Shi’an Garden tonight! Wulang Jun, have you eaten dinner? Do you want the maid to order the small kitchen to make something for you?"

Yan Qiuer waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm not hungry. Where are the golden beans?"

As soon as Yan Qiuer mentioned Jindou, Xia Yun's expression became a little subtle.

"What's the matter? But what happened to Jindou?" Yan Qiuer asked suspiciously.

"No, nothing happened to Jindou, it's just..." Xia Yun hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't lie to Yan Qiuer, so he said, "Recently, Jindou always goes out. Before that, he only went out for a while during the day. For a little while, but recently...recently, I spent the night outside and didn't come back all night. The servant girl asked him what he was doing, but he faltered and didn't say anything. The servant girl was worried..."

"Are you outside even at night?" Yan Qiuer was also at a loss.He didn't let Jindou go out to do errands recently, why did Jindou go out more frequently than before?Could it be that he thought he didn't need servants in this yard, so he went out to play?Or did something really happen?Yan Qiuer was a little worried, so she told Xia Yun, "If Jin Dou comes back, let him find me in the study."

"My servant knows." Xia Yun, who was also worried about whether Jindou would cause trouble, responded immediately, and then said, "By the way, Mr. Wulang, Qingzhu from Mr. Sanlang's place came today to ask if you came back, and said If you can come back before Haishi, I hope you can go to Lord Sanlang."

"Third Brother?" Yan Qiuer paused, thought for a moment, then turned around and went out of the small courtyard again, "I'll go to Third Brother's place to have a look, if Dad comes, let him rest first."

Xia Yun blinked suspiciously.Is the lord coming again today?Recently, the lord seems to be inseparable from Mr. Wulang as long as he is in the mansion, especially at night, either Mr. Wulang spends the night in Shi'an Garden, or the lord follows Mr. Wulang back. Isn't the relationship between the father and son a bit too good?Shouldn't they be getting a bigger bed here?Or is it better to add an extra bed?However, there are too many things piled up in Mr. Wulang's bedroom, and it seems that there is no room for two beds. What should I do?

Arriving at the courtyard of Yanxintang, the first thing Yan Qiuer saw was the green bamboo busy in the courtyard.

Yan Qiuer knocked on the courtyard door, and when Qingzhu turned his head to look over, he asked, "Qingzhu, is third brother there?"

Qingzhu turned around and bowed to Yan Qiuer politely: "Qingzhu has met Mr. Wulang. If you go back to Mr. Wulang, Mr. Sanlang is in the study. Please come over to Mr. Wulang."

Upon hearing that Yan Xintang was in the study, Yan Qiuer hesitated: "The third brother is probably busy in the study, right? Then I'll wait for him for a while."

Qingzhu lowered her head halfway, and after hearing Yan Qiuer's words, she said: "Mr. Sanlang has ordered before that if Mr. Wulang comes, I will let the little one directly bring Mr. Wulang into the study. Please don't be strict with Mr. Wulang."

"In that case, I'll trouble Qingzhu." Yan Qiuer smiled slightly, and followed Qingzhu to Yan Xintang's study.

In the study room, Yan Xintang was sitting upright behind the desk, writing a word with a pen, his calm and serious expression was far from his usual hearty smile.

Yan Qiuer gestured to Qingzhu, not letting Qingzhu make any noise to disturb Yan Xintang, and then found a seat beside him, sat down and waited quietly.

Seeing this, Qingzhu left the study lightly, and returned with tea after a while, poured a cup of tea for Yan Qiuer, left the teapot behind, and left the study by herself.

Yan Qiuer picked up the teacup, but didn't drink the tea. He just held the teacup in his hand, carefully stared at the paper on Yan Xintang's desk, and watched Yan Xintang carefully write down every stroke, and waited for Yan Xintang to finish writing. At that time, the tea in Yan Qiuer's hand was just warmed up.

Yan Qiuer took a sip of tea and saw that Yan Xintang had no intention of writing any more, so he said, "I only know that my third brother is good at riding and shooting, and is good at hunting, but I don't want my third brother to be able to sit behind the desk carefully and write down Good writing on paper."

Hearing Yan Qiuer's voice suddenly, Yan Xintang was taken aback, and when he turned around, he saw Yan Qiuer sitting next to him, and asked in surprise, "When did Wulang come? Why didn't you call me? How long have you been waiting?"

"I'm afraid I'll ruin the third brother's picture." Yan Qiuer chuckled, "Besides, I haven't waited long, and I haven't finished this cup of tea yet. What can the third brother ask me for?"

Yan Xintang dried the picture and folded it, and said as he folded it: "Nowadays it is getting harder and harder to see Goro, so I won't waste time going around in circles with Goro. When I returned home today, I heard people say that my grandmother is here." ? And punished Yanfeng? What happened? The servants in the mansion couldn’t explain clearly, they only said that there was a lot of commotion in Tengyuan Hall.”

Hearing this, Yan Qiuer told Yan Xintang what happened in Huayue Pavilion and Tengyuan Hall today.

After Yan Xintang heard it, he didn't immediately mock Yan Feng's stupidity, but remained silent as if filled with emotion. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "This is the Yan family."

Yan Qiuer's emotions that were so easily aroused by Yan Sheng fell after Yan Xintang's words, and stared down at the amber tea in the teacup without saying a word.

The two brothers sat quietly for a long time before Yan Xintang asked again with a smile: "Has Wulang had dinner? It's rare that Wulang can return to Xiyuan. I wonder if I have time to have a drink with my third brother?"

Yan Qiuer raised his face to look at Yan Xintang, and also smiled: "Third brother invited me, how come I'm not free? Speaking of which, I haven't had a drink with third brother yet."

"That's not true! Before Dad came back, you didn't leave the house all day long, and even the third lady couldn't call you. After Dad came back, you came out of your house, but you entered Shi'an Garden again. Occasionally When you have free time, you also go to Shiro's place, but you can't think of me, your third brother!"

Yan Qiuer chuckled, and said: "Isn't there good wine at the fourth brother's place? If the third brother also has some good wine, I will come to the third brother's place every day to beg for wine."

"Succeed! What do you want to drink, just tell third brother, but..." Yan Xintang stopped, and looked at Yan Qiuer with a flattering smile.

Yan Qiuer's eyebrows twitched, and he squinted at Yan Xintang: "But?"

Yan Xintang chuckled and said, "Third brother has something to ask Wulang for help."

Yan Qiuer secretly rolled her eyes.He said why Yan Xintang couldn't ask about Yanfeng, even if he couldn't ask today, he should be able to wait until tomorrow. Anyway, he already knew it, so why was he in a hurry to know the process?But it turns out that there is still something to find him.That's right, why do people look for him if they have nothing to do?

So Yan Qiuer raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Third brother, tell me, if I can do it, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

"Goro can do it!" Saying that, Yan Xintang got up, walked to the cabinet on the side of the study, opened the top shelf, took out a box from inside, turned back to Yan Qiuer, and pushed the box to Yan Qiu In front of Er, "Old rules, I will definitely not let Goro help me with this job."

Yan Qiuer raised her eyebrows lightly, stretched out her hand to unlock the box, opened the lid and looked inside, only to see that the box was all yellow and neatly stacked with gold nuggets.

"Third brother, have you made a fortune?" Yan Qiuer put the lid on the box again, not daring to accept the "bribe money" as usual.

It was rare to see Yan Qiuer timidly and hesitantly, Yan Xintang couldn't help laughing, and explained: "Wu Lang is too worried, this money is the profit of my shop for the past two years. Otherwise, why do you think these gentlemen of the Yan family are so anxious Want a shop? Even if there is only one, it is enough to support you for a lifetime."

Yan Qiuer was speechless.He really didn't know that in his previous life, Yan Qiu'er was relied on by Yan Sheng and was in charge of the Yan family's caravan, so he had a better understanding of the income and expenditure of the merchants, but he didn't expect that the profits of the few humble shops of the Yan family so rich.

"Even so, I can't accept the money first. The third brother should talk about things that need my help. It is definitely not an easy thing for the third brother to pay a lot of money for me to do. I don't dare to do it casually." Accept." Yan Qiuer pushed the box of gold a little farther away.

Yan Xintang chuckled, and pushed the box of gold back: "For me, this matter is worth the price, but for Wu Lang, it is just a piece of cake."

"Third Brother, let's talk first."

After all, Yan Qiuer is not just a money-grubbing person, so Yan Xintang scratched the corner of his mouth and said, "That...actually...it's about...about my marriage."

"Marriage?" Yan Qiuer looked at Yan Xintang, then at the box of gold, then at Yan Xintang, blinked blankly, and said, "The third brother can just say no to father or grandma about the marriage? Why? Want me to deal with it?"

"Uh..." Yan Xintang touched his nose and said shyly, "Actually, I have a woman I like, but the identity of that woman is a bit..."

Yan Qiuer frowned.According to the memory of the previous life, Mrs. Yan doesn't really care much about Xiyuan's marriage, as long as there is nothing in the other's family that will affect the face of the Yan family. Yan Qiuer even remembers that Yan Xintang married the daughter of a fifth-rank official. ... Could it be another variable?

"What is the identity of that woman?"

"Yes... it's from Pingkangfang."

Yan Qiuer stared blankly, and after a long pause, he opened his mouth and said, "Third brother really gave me a problem!"

Yan Xintang looked at Yan Qiuer with some embarrassment, and said, "It's because of the difficulty that I can only ask Wulang to help me get around."

Yan Qiuer thought about it, but he had no idea, just sighed, and said: "Let's put this money with third brother first, and it won't be too late to give it to me when it's done."

"Then I'll leave it to Wulang." Yan Xintang also knew that he was in trouble, so he felt embarrassed to make things difficult for Yan Qiuer.

Yan Qiuer nodded, then resigned from Yan Xintang, and returned to her yard in a daze.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Upon hearing footsteps, Yan Sheng, who was waiting in the hall, immediately raised his head and looked towards the door.Qiuer is really busy!

Hearing the sound, Yan Qiuer looked up, blinked at Yan Sheng, and said blankly, "Yan Sheng, Yan Xintang wants to marry a woman from Pingkang Fang, what should I do?"
