Patriarch Yan accompanied Mrs.
Yan and Zhu Ji in Xintianzhuang for a few days, and then returned to Yan's Zhongzheng Mansion.He deliberately hid, first, to give Tao'er the opportunity to take charge of the housekeeper, and secondly, to give Yan Li and the three Qingdao people time to plan the layout.The old housekeeper stayed at home to secretly spy on the movements of the two parties, and sent secret guards to inform Patriarch Yan in three letters a day.Although Patriarch Yan was not at home, he was always in control of the situation at home.Finally, under the instigation of Yan Li, Tao'er began to feed her hands and feet in the back house.She ordered the housekeepers of each house to hand over the account books and money boxes to her every evening, and the next morning they could take the account books and money boxes after the many expenses had been listed.The old housekeeper secretly told the old ladies of each courtyard to make another account book for each expenditure and hand it over to him, so that the bright and dark account books were enough to catch the handle of Tao'er's corruption in the house.When the patriarch Yan returned home, he was blocked outside the gate by the angry Sanqing Daoist before he got out of the carriage, and Yan Li came with him.Seeing that the father and son had the same debt-collecting expression, Patriarch Yan sneered coldly, deliberately bumped into the Sanqing Daoist, and walked into the door with his hands behind his back."
You can afford to lose face, but I can't afford to lose it.If you want to collect debts, come in and say. ”The three Qingdao people exchanged glances with Yan Li, and seeing Patriarch Yan's indifferent appearance, it seemed that they knew that they would come to block the door."
Kid, you hide first, I'll talk to him."
There are some past events that should not be known to his son, and the Sanqing Daoist thinks that Patriarch Yan will take care of his son, so he will be generous and willing to talk.Yan Li didn't want to offend Patriarch Yan either, after all, the people who raised him were Patriarch Yan and Mrs.
Yan.It is better to be kind than to raise kindness, and he always remembers their kindness."
Dad, retire there.""
Go ahead."
The Sanqing Daoist sent Yan Li away and went to the small side courtyard where the Yan patriarch lived alone.The small side courtyard connected to the front yard is simple and elegant, and the yard is planted with a kind of evergreen vine in all seasons.A small pond was opened up in the corner of the yard to raise fat colored koi, and there was a pavilion by the pond, in which there were two rocking chairs and a small square table.Patriarch Yan was lying on a rocking chair knocking melon seeds, and his body was covered with a snow fox silver needle blanket.The old butler was busy around the square table, picking up the tray that the maid held in his hand, and placing it on the table after giving it to Patriarch Yan to look at.Seeing that the Sanqing Daoist was coming, the old housekeeper smiled and stepped forward to ask for peace: "The old slave has seen the second master." ”"Hmm."
The old butler was slightly older than him, and he was the second son of the old butler.I heard that after he left Ciyu Town, the old housekeeper had the intention of retiring, so he recommended the second son to replace his housekeeper.Patriarch Yan treated the people quite generously, not only rewarded the pension silver, but also gave the funeral money when the old housekeeper died.Therefore, the family was more loyal to Patriarch Yan, especially this willing pawn.Sanqing Daoist did not make things difficult for the old housekeeper, and learned from his son that the old housekeeper treated him well, especially when he was a child, and rode as a horse.Thinking that the old housekeeper is kind to his son, he will also be polite."
Sit down."
Patriarch Yan pointed to the rocking chair next to him and said to the old butler, "Go get a blanket again, don't freeze the second master." ”"No need."
The three Qingdao people put the dust on the table and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to eat.Frowning slightly, he asked dissatisfiedly: "Who fried this?"
It's mushy!
Bah!
It's bitter!
”"Hehe, don't you like fire?
I specially ordered people to fry for a longer time, and the firewood burned more vigorously. ”Patriarch Yan was proud, and it was his greatest pleasure to be able to calculate his second brother.Just like when he was a child, every time he teased his second brother, he would succeed.Sanqing Daoist snorted coldly, picked up a plate of walnut kernels and sat on the rocking chair, stuffed them one by one, and muttered: "You will only bully me, and you have the ability to find trouble with Zhuge Yi and Li Haitang." ”"They've helped me a lot, and I'm so thankful."
Patriarch Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed a walnut kernel to eat, and asked curiously: "You pretend to be a Taoist person, don't really enter the Dao to seek immortals and abandon the red dust." ”"I didn't pretend."
The Sanqing Daoist looked at the sky and sighed, and said, "When Li'er becomes the patriarch of the Yan clan, I will escape into the Dao Gate and never ask about the world's affairs, regardless of the red dust tribulation." ”"That's a good point, but unfortunately you can't."
Patriarch Yan crushed a walnut, dug out the walnut kernel and put it on the plate held by the Sanqing Daoist.The Sanqing Daoist frowned and said angrily, "What face do you have to mock me?"
Back then, he forced me to kill my wife and drove me to a foreign land.You have taken a child to raise as you wish, have you ever thought about my pain?
You keep claiming that you are born with a quirk and only love men, and I believe and admit it.But what should you do now that you have a husband and wife relationship with the Oiran lady in the Flower Building?
”"If you don't come back to sow discord, how can I come up with such a plan?"
Patriarch Yan crushed another walnut, dug out the peach kernel and put it on the plate, and said, "Before you came back, I never had the idea of my own son inheriting the position of patriarch.If you and Li'er don't force each other, Li'er will definitely inherit me in a hundred years.Can't you wait for me to die?
”"Well, I believe what you say.But how can we explain it now?
That Oiran lady is pregnant with your own flesh and blood, and you still refuse to let go of my courtesy?
”The Sanqing Daoist was indignant, he owed his son a lot, and he had to fight for the position of patriarch to make up for it.The son is his own, he will eventually grow old and die, but he knows that there is still a living life in the world that continues his blood.Patriarch Yan was deeply angry, and pretended to be careless and said: "As the saying goes: Brothers settle accounts.It's up to us to put an end to our grievances.Li'er is innocent, and he shouldn't continue our grudges. ”"Hehe, brother?
When you forced your wife to kill and take away my father and son, did you ever remember the love of blood relatives?
Settle accounts, my wife died because of you, and my son died because of you, how do you settle these two life accounts?
”The Three Qingdao Daoists lifted the saucer and slammed it to the ground, and he stood up angrily and glared at Patriarch Yan.If there was a knife at this time, he would stab into the chest of Patriarch Yan without any scruples, even if he used his life to pay for it.Patriarch Yan ignored the killing intent in the eyes of the Sanqing Daoists, took the hot tea brought by the old housekeeper and drank it, and said indifferently: "Li'er is your son and my son.I never thought of harming him, even if he and I no longer have the same heart, even if he was my enemy, I regarded him as a son. ”"Don't tell these high-sounding lies, I don't believe it."
The Sanqing Daoist interrupted Patriarch Yan and took out a red pill, "There is no pain or itching after taking it, and our grievances will be eliminated after your death." ”Patriarch Yan sneered, picked up the red pill and threw it at Tangzi, and said, "Do you really think I'm you?"
You want to force me to death, hehe, delusional!
To tell you the truth, you and Li'er are like grasshoppers on a rope, and the father and son can only keep one. ”"You......
Count you ruthless!
We'll see!
”"Good.We'll see, I'll see how you go!
”Patriarch Yan smiled indifferently, not afraid.The Sanqing Daoist was furious, glared at Patriarch Yan, grabbed the dust whisk on the table and shook his sleeves and left.() Glory to the end
