Ji Taoist

After returning home, Yan Buzhi wanted to talk to Yan Xirou about marrying her to Zhou Hua, but he had some things to deal with and was delayed all night.

the next day.

"Master, there is someone in the living room who wants to see him. He says that you know him. Let me give this to you and then you will know who he is."

Yan Buzhi looked puzzled and picked up the half piece of jade given by his servant.

This half piece of jade is as smooth as a mirror, neither white nor green, but somewhere in between, with a faint blush in the center.

"It's him?! Okay, I'll be there right away." Yan Buzhi's face darkened as he thought of something.

Soon, Yan Buzhi came to the living room, but he did not see the person in his impression. Instead, he saw a young man with a handsome face and simple clothes.

The young man couldn't be described as how handsome he was. His cheeks were a bit fat. When he saw Yan Buzhi's arrival with his big eyes, he happily stepped forward and cupped his hands and said:

"My nephew, Xiao Ran, has met Uncle Yan."

"Xiao Ran...are you Brother Xiao Dingtian's son?!" Yan Buzhi said in surprise with his eyes widened.

Xiao Ran smiled honestly, nodded and said, "Yes, my nephew is here to pay a visit to his uncle."

Yan Buzhi laughed: "Sit down and talk."

"yes."

Although I don't know the reason why Xiao Ran came here at this moment, if it's just for some money, then it doesn't matter.

After sitting down, Yan Buzhi asked: "Xiao Ran, how is your father now?"

Xiao Ran looked lonely and said: "Back to uncle, I would like to thank you for your thoughts. My father has been dead for three years."

"Three years?! Alas, I said goodbye to Brother Xiao back then, but I didn't expect that we would never see each other again in this life." Yan Buzhi sighed and said with emotion.

Xiao Dingtian and Yan Buzhi were actually orphans who came out of a shack. Yan Buzhi chose to come to the mountain city to do business and make money, while Xiao Dingtian was spotted by a Jianghu sect and accepted him as a disciple. They have been apart for twenty years. Unexpectedly now...

"Oh, nephew, Brother Xiao has a life-long friendship with me. Do you have a place to go now? If not, why not stay here with me? I guarantee that if I have a bite to eat, you will have a bite to eat." Yan Buzhi said with a smile. .

Xiao Ran cupped his hands and said: "Thank you uncle! Actually, I came here this time... I wanted to beg my uncle, but do you still remember the agreement you made with my father?"

"Promise...you mean, marrying your children to the in-laws?" Yan Buzhi frowned.

Xiao Ran nodded.

Yan Buzhi was silent for a while, closed his eyes and said, "I won't hide this from my nephew. My daughter is indeed approaching the age of becoming a boudoir, but...she is currently studying at Linshan Academy. I also need to tell her about this matter." Discuss it, of course it is not rejection. If you two can make it happen, I, as an uncle, will naturally not stop you."

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, not expecting Yan Buzhi to say such a refusal.

Xiao Ran looked at him, cupped his hands and said: "My nephew knows that he is not worthy of my sister in terms of family background and appearance, so I just ask my uncle to take me in for a while for my father's sake. This period of time has passed "My nephew should leave on his own."

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange a place for you. You've also gotten to know Rou'er during this period. If she doesn't have any objections to you, I will also support your matter." Yan Buzhi said with a smile.

Xiao Ran looked at him in surprise.

I originally thought that this uncle refused in every possible way just because he didn't want his daughter to marry him, but now it seems that he doesn't disagree, but really respects their choice.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, uncle."

"Haha, you're welcome. During this time, I will take you to Linshan City for a walk."

"OK."

After arranging a place to stay, Yan Buzhi took Xiao Ran on a carriage and walked around the city.

There must be no problem with Xiao Ran's identity. He had a good relationship with Xiao Dingtian back then, and Xiao Dingtian's shadow can be seen on Xiao Ran's face.

The key is that the half piece of jade was indeed left to him by Xiao Dingtian when he parted with him.

He said that if one person couldn't survive and the other became prosperous, they would rely on this half piece of jade to identify each other. If you have children, you should form a family of children.

But Yan Buzhi, a young man like Xiao Ran, couldn't see through his thoughts!

If he only wanted money but was too embarrassed to speak, then his stay in Yan Mansion was just for Yan Buzhi's wealth.

But when he saw those expensive jewelry, his face did not move at all, but looked a little careless, indicating that he was not here for money;

If a woman he has never seen before was married to her just because she was not yet born, why would Xiao Ran still come all the way to find her after so many years? It cannot be said to be normal without any emotional basis;

And although he was dressed simply, he exuded a very unique temperament. Every time he saw this prosperous Linshan City, his eyes were filled with curiosity but without any envy.

Yan Buzhi was a little curious about Xiao Ran's fate. He came to a tailor shop and shouted: "Boss, make some clothes for my nephew."

"Boss Yan's visit is really brilliant. This is Boss Yan's nephew, what a talent!" The boss came out and looked at Xiao Ran with a smile.

Xiao Ran was flattered and said: "Uncle, this..."

"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing. Boss, how long will it take to heal?"

"Boss Yan is here in person, then I promise to prepare it for you before this afternoon!"

"Okay, here's the deposit. Use the best materials to make it for me!"

"That's for sure."

Yan Buzhi paid the money readily and continued to walk around the city with Xiao Ran.

He bought some daily necessities for Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran was very curious and asked:

"Uncle, you are too polite. Not only did you let me stay at your house, but you also helped me with these small things in person."

"Alas, you said it was a small matter. Your father said so back then, but I can't forget my roots." Yan Buji smiled and shook his head.

Xiao Ran was moved, and he felt good about the uncle he had just met. At least he didn't look like a heartless person.

After a day of shopping, Yan Buji and Xiao Ran returned to the Yan Mansion, and the servants had already started preparing dinner.

"Wait a moment, Rou'er will be back from the academy soon, and I will introduce her to you then." Yan Buji smiled.

"Yes, I hope my little sister won't dislike me." Xiao Ran smiled bitterly.

"That won't happen. Rou'er is kind-hearted and will definitely get along well with you." Yan Buji said.

Xiao Ran nodded.

After a while, Yan Xirou came back with Xiao Cui. Seeing Xiao Ran in the living room, she looked at him in surprise and asked:

"Father, I'm back. Who is this?"

"This is my childhood brother Xiao Dingtian's son, and also your cousin, Xiao Ran."

"So it's cousin Xiao. Little sister Yan Xirou, nice to meet you." Yan Xirou smiled.

Seeing that Rou'er didn't change at all, Yan Buji nodded secretly in his heart.

It seems that old man Zhou Hua is not anxious to make it clear to Yan Xirou, so I'll go and discuss it with him tomorrow, and I'll leave it to him after I finish attending the Yangchun Literary Meeting.

As for Xiao Ran?

Although his origin is a bit strange, his identity is not a problem, but it seems that he didn't come for Rou'er.
