Chapter 327: Solemn Ceremony
The little ones can be lawless, but the adults can't sit idly by.
"Little bell, come down quickly, don't pull Weng's beard." Yan Wei was the first to speak, calling the little guy softly, her daughter is still young after all, and she is purely happy to make this move.
Yan Xin also beckoned to the little guy at the same time, motioning to come and sit here.
The old man would rather hold back the pain than say it, the big guy looked distressed, but Yan Yi and Lu Bu were secretly happy.
One is under the old man's discipline, from childhood to adulthood, and the other is always not giving a good face, as if he owes him millions of money.
Now that Little Bell has made a righteous move, he is simply rehabilitating his second uncle and father who have suffered for many years!
The little guy listened to his mother's call, and obediently put down the white beard in his hand, which made the second uncle and father, who were interested in watching the show, feel sorry for a while.
I haven't hugged it yet, and I'm leaving.
The old man was very reluctant in his heart, but because of his face, he couldn't take the initiative to reach out and bring the little guy back.
Clinker, the little guy walked forward two steps, suddenly turned around, walked back to the old man, in the hall when everyone thought she was going to pull the old man's beard again, the little guy sweetly 'poofed' on Weng Weng's face.
At that moment, tears flickered in the old man's wrinkled eyes.
He no longer cared about the face of the head of the family, stretched out his hand to hug the little grandson in his heart, ignored the stunned children and grandchildren below, waved his big hand, and opened the banquet!
Servants entered the hall one by one, placing the food on each table one by one.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Bu glanced at the people in the hall slightly, but he happened to meet Yan Yi's gaze.
Because of the annihilation of the Liangzhou Jiacai army in the battle of the Xi River Valley, Yan Yi, as the commander, was inexcusable, and the imperial court was furious about this, if it wasn't for the mediation of his brother Yan Li, how could this matter be so easy.
"Brother-in-law, when you see your uncle, why don't you even say hello? Don't you think that I have no official position now and look down on me? Yan Yi joked, he could be said to be extremely satisfied with this brother-in-law, not to mention that Lu Bu had also saved his life from the encirclement and suppression of tens of thousands of rebels.
"Second brother is joking, I just sat down for a short time, and I was about to hug my fists to salute, but second brother, you opened your mouth first." Lu Bu said with a smile, the most straightforward temperament in the entire Yan Mansion was this second son of the Yan family.
Yan Yi summoned all his wife and sons to his side, and introduced them to Lu Bu one by one: "Brother-in-law, let me introduce you to you, this is my wife." These two are the silly boys of my family, the eldest is twelve years old, named Yan Wu, and the younger one, who turned four years old half a month ago, is called Yan Pan. ”
Yan Pan?
Lu Bu looked at the little guy with a tiger's head, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. I remember the first time I came to Yan's Mansion to see Wei Niang, he was still a little bit, he was coaxed to sleep by Yan Wei in his arms, and when he woke up, he cried and cried to find his mother.
Now it seems to be so big in the blink of an eye.
"My nephew has seen my uncle." The two children greeted Lu Bu with a decent salute.
Lu Bu shouted 'Sister-in-law' to the beautiful woman, nodded to the two juniors, and said with a smile: "After Wuyuan, my uncle will take you to ride a horse and shoot arrows, don't dare to say anything else, the horses are enough for bows and arrows." ”
When the two children heard this, their eyes immediately bloomed with joy, and they couldn't wait to fly to Wuyuan immediately.
Then, Lu Bu straightened his posture and looked at the table next to Yan Yi where he was seated, where a middle-aged man who was drinking and being gentle was sitting. You don't have to guess to know that this man you have never met is Lu Bu's eldest brother, the eldest son of the Yan family, the squire who is the ruler of the court, and the best candidate to take over as the head of the old man's family in the future, Yan Li.
Lu Bu arched his hand, faced Yan Li, and humbly shouted "Uncle".
However, there was no woman beside Yan Li, only a handsome young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, sitting decently, like his father, and polite.
The young man's name is Yan Jian, the eldest grandson of the Yan family, and now he is studying in Luoyang.
Later, Lu Bu learned that Yan Li's wife had died in childbirth more than ten years ago.
Since then, Yan Li has accepted several concubines one after another, but has never remarried.
Yan Li then nodded, which can be regarded as an approval of this brother-in-law.
Lu Bu didn't recognize him, but he recognized Lu Bu. When Lu Bu entered Luoyang to face the saint, Yan Li was in the court, and he heard that Lu Bu was from Bingzhou, so he paid more attention.
It's just that at that time, Lu Bu was still a bachelor and had not yet married Yan Wei.
After the feast, the women walked out of the hall with the children, and Yan Wei also left with the little ones.
Men are in deliberations, and women are not allowed to intervene in the hearing, or even be present, which is a woman's morality.
After the women left, all the servants in the hall also held their backs, and Yan Yi, who had drunk two large jars of wine, lay on the table and fell asleep.
In today's lobby, there are only four people left: the old man, Yan Li, Yan Xin and Lu Bu.
After being silent for a while, Yan Li took a sip of tea and started talking as usual: "Fourth brother, how are you doing as the county guard of the five plains?" ”
"There are no big things, and there are a lot of daily tedious affairs." Yan Xin smiled bitterly and said, "How can you compare to you, eldest brother, as an official in the court, you can see the holy face every day." ”
A companion is like a tiger!
Yan Li sighed slightly, in the eyes of ordinary people, courtiers are important members of the court, and they can often meet the Son of Heaven, and their power and glory can be described as inexhaustible.
These words are not bad, but the terrifying feeling of walking on thin ice all day long is something that few people can know.
Especially in the past two years, His Majesty's temperament has become more and more perverse and unpredictable. Several well-known courtiers angered His Majesty and gave their lives because of their outspoken advice.
Hearing Yan Li's sigh, the old man who taught his children to work hard since he was a child rarely changed his attitude, looked at his eldest son and said: "Boss, I really can't stay, so I will resign and come back." Like the fourth, it is better to be a county guard in the state and live a peaceful life than to be frightened in the court. ”
"Father, I'm fine."
Yan Li replied gently, and signaled that the old man did not have to worry.
Forever succumbed to the state, the Yan family will not have a day to carry forward. In Bingzhou, you can call for wind and rain, but if you want to put it in Luoyang, it will only be a second-rate family.
Therefore, Yan Licai worked hard to gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, he received the traditional education of the old man since he was a child, and he has regarded the future of the Yan family as the mission of this life.
Even if he is broken, he has to work hard to get the Yan family out of the state.
At least let the world know that in the north of the Han Dynasty, there is still a Yan family.
Lu Bu couldn't interject in the conversation between the father and son of the Yan family, so he had to sit in his position and listen quietly.
At this time, Yan Li suddenly asked: "Brother-in-law, do you hate Shichang?" ”
