I'm back

When Yan Qin knocked on the door, Dugu Liu was still very surprised: "It's so late, why isn't Xiao Qin resting at home?"

Yan Qin glanced at the darkened lights next door: "I'm alone, and I just want to watch the night with Big Brother Liu and you. You and Grandpa Dugu won't dislike me, right?"

Dugu Liu also knew a little about the situation of her neighbor Xiao Qin.The family has a small property, the mother died early, and the father and brother passed away one after another two years ago. I was afraid that I would have nowhere to go in the future, so I bought more real estate. The yard next door to them was bought by Xiao Qin's servants, that is, these few In the first month, Xiao Qin came more often.

Xiao Qin said that his name was Qin Xiao, but Dugu Liu felt that this was not Xiao Qin's real name, but everyone had their own secrets.He could see that this young man from a wealthy family didn't harbor any malice towards him, and some things didn't need to be so serious.

In the daily relationship, Xiao Qin never showed the arrogance of a rich family. Even when he gave him something to write, he was careful, thinking of an excuse every time, for fear of hurting their self-esteem.

Dugu Liu was originally a teacher, so he inevitably had some preference for a good boy like Xiao Qin.No matter what Xiao Qin's status is, he likes this boy who has a faint dimple on his right cheek when he smiles.

As soon as Yan Qin finished speaking, he frowned and said, "Grandpa and I are very happy that Xiao Qin can come, there is no reason not to welcome him."

With that said, he welcomed the man into the house.

The people of Dayan have a tradition of watching the year. Even those who cannot afford to light candles will find ways to add some oil to the oil lamp so that it can light up overnight.

Dugu's family is poor, but there are only two grandparents in the family, and with Dugu Liu's salary as a private school teacher, they can live well. At least when Yan Qin enters, the house is still bright and majestic.

Old man Dugu was lying on a long rattan chair, covered with thick clothes, beside the only pot of charcoal fire in the house, Yan Qin followed Dugu Liu and sat down in front of the charcoal brazier, and then shouted hello to Grandpa Dugu.

Old Man Dugu rolled his eyelids and glanced at him, and replied: "It's Xiao Qin who is here."

He has seen more people than his grandson, and naturally knows more people.The identity of Xiao Qin in front of him, as early as a few days ago, he had a judgment in his heart, but he did not see it through. He is old and unwilling to move, but he can't stop his grandson from making progress.

As long as Yan Qin is not cruel, it will be of great benefit to Dayan and Dugu Liu that the Dugu family can help him.

Yan Qin responded obediently: "Today is a timekeeper, can grandpa tell us the story of General Sun."

Dugu Liu chimed in and said, "Grandpa, just tell me, I want to hear it too." As he spoke, he gave Yan Qin a handful of roasted peanuts, "Grandpa roasted it himself, it's very delicious."

The peanuts roasted by a great Confucianist himself will make you smarter after eating them.Yan Qin carefully took the fried peanuts that Dugu Liu handed over, and unceremoniously peeled them open and started to eat.

The peanuts are still red-skinned when peeled off, and it smells delicious and tastes even more delicious.

Dugu Liu asked Yan Qin to throw the prepared peanut shells on the ground. From time to time, he had to shovel up a handful with a small shovel and throw them into the charcoal fire. There was a beeping sound in the middle, which made the room a little more warm and smokey.

For Yan Qin, this kind of life really made him envious. He listened very carefully to Mr. Dugu's strange stories about the battlefield and officialdom, while constantly throwing peeled peanuts into his mouth.

Fried peanuts are easy to make your mouth dry. After eating more, he has to drink two sips of water from time to time to relieve his thirst.

If you drink a lot of water in winter, you will definitely not be able to sit for a long time.Waiting for Master Dugu to finally finish a section, Yan Qin rushed out of the gate of Dugu's house and went to the thatched hut in his own yard next door to solve the three urgent problems in life.

When one of the three emergencies was resolved, Yan Qinchang heaved a sigh of relief, took well water from the shaking well, washed his hands carefully three times, wiped off the water droplets, and planned to go back to Dugu's house next door.

However, before he stepped out of the courtyard gate, he was stopped by a hidden black shadow.

"What's the matter?" Yan Qin's voice sounded very cold, and he was completely different from the soft and cute boy in front of Grandpa Dugu Liu before.

The dark guard following the emperor said, "Your Majesty, the regent is here too."

He asked again, "When did the Regent come?"

The secret guard replied: "It seems that His Majesty just entered the courtyard of Dugu's house, and he came."

Yan Qin's face showed surprise, the regent may have taken the wrong medicine, and this New Year's Eve, it's not a good time to spend in his regent's mansion, so what are you doing here with him.

"What did the regent do?"

"The regent didn't do anything, just blowing the air outside the gate of Dugu's courtyard."

Yan Qin did the math, it was almost half an hour since he came to this place, this Yan Yuge did nothing, just nestled in the corner blowing the cold wind, was he dreaming, or was the regent in a daze .

"What about the regent?" When he came out, he didn't see any outsiders outside. The regent was so tall and big, and he was not blind, so he must have seen it at a glance.

The hidden guard silently pointed to the courtyard wall: "Your Majesty, there it is."

Yan Qin looked in the direction pointed by the dark guard, but there was no one there.

The dark guard in the shadow said again: "It's in the shadow between the big tree and the roof, take a closer look."

He rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look, hey, there really is a person, but the person is wearing black clothes and standing on the roof, and the place where he stands is under the big tree beside the courtyard of Dugu's house.

No matter how bright the moonlight is, there is a shadow under the big tree.The black-haired and black-clothed regent stood in such a secret place, and deliberately concealed his aura. If he didn't look carefully and hard, it was impossible to find his trace.

This is the third life, why didn't he find out that the regent still has such a hobby of a gentleman on Liang.

Yan Qin seemed to think of something, and asked the hidden guard again: "If you stand in that position, can you hear everything in the room clearly?"

Martial arts practitioners already have excellent hearing, so they can't hear sounds that are too far away. It is not impossible at this distance.

Thinking of what Old Man Dugu had said, Yan Qin's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the regent has already discovered something.

What the hidden guard said made him feel cold and cold: "If it is in that position, if a needle falls in the house, the subordinates can also hear it."

It's over, the regent was able to kill thousands of people on the battlefield back then, and his martial arts can be said to be very outstanding. If he had been standing there all the time, he would have heard everything.Perhaps it was because of what old man Dugu said that he stood under that broken roof for so long.

Yan Qin's expression became serious, and the dark guard added: "However, I feel that the Regent should not have heard anything. He jumped up when His Majesty came out. Earlier, he was in a small alley far away. , never came here.”

This hidden guard was the one with the best martial arts skills among the people left to him by the late emperor, Yan Qin felt relieved when he said that, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally, he wanted to spend New Year's Eve with his grandfather and grandson Dugu, but in order to prevent the regent from discovering his secret, he must go back today.

Of course, before going back to Dugu's house to bid farewell, he took a special look at the "gentleman on the beam", with a rather strange expression on his face.

When the little emperor entered the courtyard, Yan Yuge quietly fell from the roof again, his light figure was like a wild cat good at climbing.

Standing on a high place, he was always paying attention to the movements of the little emperor, so he could clearly see the look in his eyes.He thought he was standing concealed, and deliberately concealed his figure. The little emperor practiced martial arts but learned fur, so he shouldn't have been discovered.

But that look is indeed weird.

Yan Yuge brushed off a leaf that fell from his shoulder, and thought about it seriously in the howling wind. Whether the little emperor found out or not, he still planned to go back.

In fact, just now when he subconsciously jumped up to the roof and was blown by the cold wind, he felt that his behavior of following up alone was very irrational.

Obviously, he only needs to sit in the carriage and ask his subordinates to help him find out clearly and confirm that the relationship between the emperor and Dugu Liu is enough, so why bother to go to battle in person.

Although today is New Year's Eve, he has nothing to do in rest, but no matter how busy he is, he shouldn't waste time on this.

The result of serious thinking is that it must be these days that he has paid too much attention to the little emperor, and the little emperor is not a smart person. He always tries to deduce the thoughts of an unintelligent person, and in the end he is accidentally caught by the other party. It's so stupid to do such a stupid thing.

As soon as he came to such a conclusion, the little emperor came out from the courtyard of Dugu Liu's house again.Yan Yuge couldn't control it, and jumped up to the roof with a whoosh, stood in the shadow, and even scared away two jackdaws perched on the branches behind him.

Seeing the two jackdaws fluttering away, Yan Qin finally couldn't hold back, stood where he was, stared at the roof for a long time, and mouthed a word silently.

After saying this, he turned his head and went into the courtyard next to him, found a fire pocket and lit candles and a charcoal basin.

Yan Yuge was stunned for a moment, realizing what the little emperor was saying with his lips opening and closing, he jumped from the roof to the next courtyard wall, and pushed open the door with the light on.

When he came in, the little emperor had already lit the fire.Even if you buy a residence in the suburbs of Beijing, the utensils here are excellent. The charcoal fire is easy to ignite, and there is no choking smoke, which makes the room warm in no time.

Yan Qin lit two candles, they were bright red and thick, with the word "Fu" on them. It was still a little dim at the beginning, but now the room is brightly illuminated.

Yan Qin found a stool for the Prince Regent who came in, sat down on the chair on the other side of the charcoal brazier, and asked bluntly: "On this New Year's Eve, Uncle Wang will stay at the Prince Regent's Mansion well, why don't you come here?" What are you doing in the suburbs of Beijing?"

The regent's eyes were as dark as midnight with fire reflected: "I should ask His Majesty this. On the day of reunion, Your Majesty abandons the noble concubine and does not entertain this uncle, just to see this Dugu Liu?"

Why did Yan Qin feel that the regent's words sounded a bit weird, and he put on a straight face: "Uncle Wang, don't avoid the important and take the light of the light, we deal with the same thing, you talk first, what are you doing with me. Besides, I will Spend this New Year’s Eve with whom, it’s all lonely freedom, what’s the matter with Dugu Liu?”

The Prince Regent is not his real uncle, he is in charge of the world and whether he is free to make friends or not.

Yan Yuge suddenly said: "A few days ago, Your Majesty said that the minister is a single heir of four generations, and that the minister is not young and should find a regent princess. I don't know about this. Do you still remember?"

The Prince Regent likes to use the trick of changing the subject to avoid problems, and Yan Qin has seen through his trick.But after seeing it through, he still had to answer the other party's words: "Yes, of course Gu remembers."

The two of them had almost turned their faces on this matter in the government before, how could he not remember such an important matter.

The regent's tone was somewhat mocking: "Since Your Majesty called me uncle, then I shall take on this responsibility. Otherwise, how can I meet the late Emperor. Could it be that Your Majesty has forgotten that only His Majesty is left with this royal bloodline, for Dayan It is His Majesty's duty to continue the bloodline of Jiangshan and allow the concubine to spread branches and leaves for the Yan family."

He must have heard it wrong, Yan Qin, a poor little emperor living under the pressure of the regent, would actually hear such old father-like words from the regent who refused to let go of power.

Yan Qin's mouth couldn't close in surprise, he couldn't hold back, stretched out his claws over the charcoal basin, and directly touched the regent's forehead.

Maybe it was because he had been outside for a long time, but the Regent's forehead was not hot at all, and it was still very cold, like ice.Yan Qin muttered in his heart, no, this didn't burn his brain.

Yan Yuge didn't pay attention, and let the little emperor get away with it for a while, waiting for him to react, the little emperor had already retracted his claws.

What else did he want to say? With a bang, the sky suddenly exploded with fireworks.Every New Year, when New Year’s Eve and Yuanzheng are handed over, a respected monk will ring the first bell of the new year in Dayan, the tallest building in Kyoto, accompanied by countless gorgeous fireworks, showing that A new chapter is about to be opened in the sky filled with fireworks.

Every year at this time, the little emperor would watch this graceful scenery from the highest platform in the capital. In the past few years, he could only see the straight smoke of the wolf in the frontier. When he returned to the capital, he would also enjoy it at home. This beauty.

Neither Yan Yuge nor Yan Qin could have imagined that one day, they would sit opposite each other around a brazier in such a dilapidated small house on the outskirts of Beijing, and then turn their heads to such a small window to watch together. The New Year's fireworks bloom in the sky.

After the fireworks were over, Yan Qin turned around and said to the regent, "Happy New Year, Uncle Wang."

Yan Yuge was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "Happy New Year."

Immediately afterwards, the little emperor stretched out a hand towards him. It was a pampered hand with fair complexion, smooth and delicate, with only slight calluses on the tiger's mouth and the place where the pen was held.

Yan Qin stretched out his hand for a long time, but there was no response, so he said impatiently: "Since Uncle Wang said he is the orphan's uncle, what about the orphan's lucky money?"

If he wants to be his elder so much, he can't think of blood during the Chinese New Year, is it possible?
