brotherly innocence

Half a month ago, Qin Mansion.

Boss Qin's legs have been cold in winter recently, and it is difficult for him to walk, so he has been hiding in the room and refuses to come out.

When Qin Rong came home, Niu urged him to go to his father's room to say hello.He raised his hand to knock on the mahogany door of his father's study, but the skeleton butler standing by the door gave him a wink and shook his head.

After a while, there was a loud noise in the house, like a bowl being smashed, and a roar came: "Damn, are everyone going to rebel? Even if you have a dog for 20 years, you know how to wag your tail in gratitude for looking after the house. This white-eyed wolf, catch him and see if he will break his leg cramps, peel off his skin and hang him on the big tree in the courtyard for public display!"

Qin Rong smiled wryly, he had heard these words countless times these days, since Chu Yaonan ran away from home, his father always yelled like this.At first he was quite intimidated by the power of the thunder, and he didn't dare to say more, but after listening to it a lot, he felt that the old guy was stern and soft-hearted, which was quite pitiful.

After Chu Yaonan left, two veterans of the Blue Gang washed their hands and went to retire for the elderly, and several mainstay figures from the Young Sect also left one after another.Ordinarily, the prestige of the Blue Gang is like Mount Tai in the mountains, and Penglai in the fairy islands. This banner and signboard are unrivaled. Those who can give up all these and go away in a chic way are as chic as Chu Yaonan, which is admirable.

And he, originally planned to deal with Boss Qin before leaving this dreary palace, now he is guarded by layers of guards, for fear that he will follow Chu Yaonan's footsteps and flee suddenly.

But after more than a month, my father was obviously much older, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and the corners of his eyes drooped a lot.

Even if he wanted to leave, he didn't want to make things worse. He reluctantly stayed and took care of everything that Chu Yaonan left behind, but he was still a little bit powerless when he first arrived.Not wanting to encounter troublesome things recently, Manager Du of the Blue Gang's shipping company suddenly resigned, and the whole family immigrated to the United States without anyone noticing, saying that he didn't want to be a troubled person, so he left it behind to do business with Bao's foreign company. error.This foreigner's business was handled by Chu Yaonan in the past, and he was not familiar with it.

"Second Young Master, please avoid it for now." The skeleton butler made an exception and said in a low voice: "I got news today that Young Master Nan is in Beiping."

"Peking?" he asked in surprise.

"Yes, the master has already sent Master Fei to capture him." Uncle Skeleton felt that he was talkative, so he fell silent.

Qin Rong shook his head, feeling pity and helplessness against the stern and roaring paper tiger in the house, he went to the study and knocked on the door and pushed in, seeing his irritable father pacing around the house rubbing his bald head and scolding: "Raise a dog!" For 20 years, he could still wag his tail and take care of the nursing home, but he left without screaming, watch me find him alive, break his leg, hang him under the big tree in the courtyard for public display, and see who dares to defect!"

Qin Rong wanted to laugh, but couldn't, as if a gramophone record had been cut out, and the stylus kept repeating that line of libretto when it stopped somewhere, making people dumbfounded.

After he entered the door, he asked calmly, "Can I get Brother Nan back by scolding like this?"

Boss Qin was stunned for a word, he didn't expect his son to question him so bluntly, as if Chu Yaonan was forced to leave by him, and he was even more angry, but Qin Rong blocked him so much that he had nothing to say.He looked at Qin Rong, and Qin Rong said, "If you really miss him, go and find him yourself. Master Fei, I'm afraid that whoever captures Brother Nan will not be able to capture his heart."

"You bastard, it's your turn to teach you a lesson!" Boss Qin scratched his eyes and refused to admit defeat, saying: "Who won't let me have fun, I will make him restless for the rest of his life!"

Qin Rong smiled wryly: "It's so hard that you only have one mouth left. You have trouble sleeping and eating every day, aren't you just thinking about Brother Nan? Even a dead starling is sad, let alone a son who has been raised for 20 years. If you talk about a son, Chu Yaonan is the son in your heart, except for his lack of blood relationship, he is the most qualified son in your heart in every way."

"I'm going to ask him to come back? I'll kill him! I feed him, and I can crush him to death!" Boss Qin refused to buy it at all.

Qin Rong was a little annoyed, and asked, "Do you think of yourself as Lafayette Cixi? It's Lafayette Empress Dowager. Didn't her own sons and adopted sons be forced to death by her, leaving you alone?"

Boss Qin glared, and scratched Kong Wu a few times with the tickle in his hand, but he couldn't let it go.

Qin Rong said solemnly: "If you can't let go of your dignity and have a good talk with Brother Nan, this matter will always be a stalemate. You can always use my prestige to teach others, and I won't say these things to you anymore. "

He turned around and left, but Boss Qin called out to him: "Rong'er!"

He stopped and said: "My elder brother used to say in the early years that it is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs. There is no right and wrong in family affairs, and everyone should give in. A man's generosity is not unlimited. When it reaches a certain limit, there are some people who can't bear it." matter."

The tickle in Boss Qin's hand was beating the armrest of the sofa, one sound, one fall, once on this sofa he beat these two restless boys, at that time he never thought that one day, Yao Nan would betray him.

Early the next morning, Qin Rong went to the downstairs restaurant for breakfast, but his father was nowhere to be seen.

The old lady asked him puzzledly: "Rong'er, you came at just the right time. But what happened? Why did your father rush to the train station for a long trip last night? His legs and feet are not good recently, and he is always complaining about leg pains, what the hell? He didn't see anything going out."

The skull-faced butler leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Second young master, the master left you the seal and put it in the study and asked me to explain it to you."

"Oh? He really went to Peiping?" Qin Rong blurted out, and the aunts and mothers in the family asked in surprise, "Did the master go to Peiping?"

Only then did he regret his slip of the tongue, and said, "I'm guessing. I heard from my father yesterday that something happened to the business in Peking."

"But isn't the war in the north not peaceful? The matter in the northeast is gone. I heard that the Japanese are coming, and everyone is in danger."

A group of women were arguing and worried, Qin Rong wrote lightly: "Father has his own plans, no matter how dangerous the place is, there is a safe place."

Everyone was relieved, and began to talk about A Pei's marriage.

Qin Rong thought, after all, Chu Yaonan's position in the old man's heart was irreplaceable, he said tough, but he still went to Beiping to find Chu Yaonan himself.I don't know whether Yaonan can find his relatives, and whether he can return to Qin's family.

Ah Pei shouted loudly from the side: "I said, as long as I want to protect Xixi, I must protect Xixi."

"Hey, young master. We went to test the tone of the Bao family. The nanny of the Bao family said that the young lady of their family has tricky eyes. People say that if you choose among the young masters of the Qin family, you will pick Nan Shao first. , romantic and suave, gentle and martial, and like-minded; and then there is Rong Shao, a young hero, majestic and majestic like a man. Tell me, is Miss Bao a little ignorant?" Six Yiniang sneered.

Qin Pei pampered and proudly pointed at Qin Rong, stomped his feet and twisted his body, saying inexorably, "Grandma, he is despicable, he robbed me of my love."

Qin Rong didn't bother to strike up a conversation with him, so he got up and went upstairs to change his clothes, came to his father's study, saw the clearly explained letter and seal, and felt a little touched.Beiping, the city where the flames of war are about to spread, and now everyone in Beijing and Tianjin is fleeing to the south in fear, but the father is desperate to go to Beiping to find his son.If Chu Yaonan is grateful for this old man's mood, he should really deal with this relationship well.

×××××

"Old lady, old lady, Master is back, and Young Master Nan is back." After a burst of voices, Boss Qin had already taken off his top hat and appeared at the door with a bald head and a smile.

"Mother, my son is back." Boss Qin greeted him respectfully.

Chu Yaonan tightly held Xiaochun Bao'er's hand and followed his father into the Qin mansion.

Chun Baoer shook his hand and asked in a low voice: "Little uncle, is this Grandpa Qin's home? It's so beautiful, like a palace and castle in a fairy tale."

The little guy looked at everything around him curiously, dazzled.

Chu Yaonan let go of his hand, stepped forward to the old lady, knelt down and kowtowed to say hello: "Mother-in-law, my unfilial grandson Yaonan has come back to kowtow to you." He kowtowed three times steadily, When he looked up again, those eyes that were as clear as a lake looked at the old lady, and gradually smiled.

The old lady half got up, took him into her arms, beat him, and reproached her: "Nan'er, where did you go, making my mother-in-law miss you so much?"

Looking at Boss Qin with tears in his eyes, he said angrily: "Nan'er is back, you are not allowed to beat him again. Mother said, forget it this time, if he runs away again next time, we will beat him together."

Boss Qin raised his face and scolded: "Mother, you can't spoil Nan'er like this. Look at him getting more and more courageous. Your request is too late."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the skull-faced butler, "Go and invite the doctor, and bring some red wound medicine to apply to you Nan Shao."

"You, did you hit him?" The old lady was dumbfounded in shock, and then tightened Chu Yaonan's heart and asked: "Nan'er, do you hurt? Don't blame your father for beating him hard. He is worried about you. These days I was thinking about you, but where did you go?"

Chu Yaonan raised his eyes to see his father's face pretending to be angry, his words were deceptive, maybe he felt that the old wound on his body had not healed, and he couldn't bear to do it.But after thinking about it, he dared to kill someone, but he didn't dare to hit someone? "Hey, look at this kid, where is he from?"She was born really well, just like Nan'er when she was a child. "

The old lady looked at Chun Bao'er happily, and Chun Bao'er, who knew nothing, was still immersed in excitement, and answered innocently.

Chu Yaonan took Chun Bao'er back to the room to change, and met Qin Rong at the stairs.

This time, Qin Rong was upstairs, and Chu Yaonan was downstairs. Qin Rong looked down at him, watching Chu Yaonan raise his jaw unyieldingly.

Qin Rong looked at him, with that plainly shaved hair and eternally unfathomable eyes, he nodded and smiled at him, but there was no brilliance in that smile, and some vicissitudes were added.

"Are you back?" Qin Rong asked.

Chu Yaonan nodded, pushed Chun Bao'er to her eyes and said, "My second uncle."

Chun Bao'er shook her head and said, "He's not the second uncle."

Chu Yaonan corrected, "Let's call him Second Uncle Rong."

The third aunt was sick and saw Chu Yaonan crying loudly, beating while crying, mother and son hugging each other.

Chu Yaonan comforted her and said, "Why are you crying, I thought I would pick you up when I was settled down."

"Silly thing, can you still run out of the palm of the Tathagata Buddha? What are you holding your breath for? He won't spare you." The third aunt cried and laughed, but Chu Yaonan only whispered: "I know ,I know."

The third concubine tidied up Yaonan's room, and the old man asked Chu Yaonan to move back to his original bedroom to find a room for Qin Peiling. He didn't know what conditions he agreed to Qin Pei, and Qin Pei readily agreed.

When Fifth Sister took care of Yaonan's room, she curiously picked up the heavy box and asked, "Brother, why is there a seal on this box?"

"Don't move!" Chu Yaonan roared, his angry voice frightened Fifth Sister's smile.Xiaochun Bao'er also looked at him blankly.
