Master, wait a minute

I've been having more and more dreams lately.Chen Zhongbo stood up slowly, he fell asleep while sitting just now.He also dreamed a lot of messy things.Chen Zhongbo felt uneasy. In the past few years, he would only have dreamy dreams when he was busy, but now it is only the beginning of May. patrolled.

How could he still be dreaming?Chen Zhongbo's brows were knotted.

Time flies quickly, and it is the annual Duanyang Festival in a blink of an eye.In Daxi, this festival is another grand day after the Spring Festival.In order to let the people who have worked hard for half a year relax, the court specially arranged a five-day public holiday.And Hanlin Academy even dismissed classes early at noon the day before the official holiday.

Seeing the little ones leaving the school happily one by one, Guan Xizhi was also infected with joy.It's just that the smile has not been put away, and when he turned around, he saw the little guy in the back seat.

Guan Xizhi wondered, what happened to that child?

After walking a few steps, Guan Xizhi asked with a smile, "Jin'er, why don't you go out? The housekeeper will be anxious."

This is very weird, Chen Jin has always been the type to go home actively, why is he nostalgic for it today?

"I, I forgot to tell Uncle Xu to go home at noon today."

Guan Xizhi was stunned, forgot to say... forgot to say, what should I do then?Children are so young that they cannot go home by themselves, and it is not safe to wait in class.Shaking his head helplessly, Guan Xizhi held Chen Jin's little hand, "Jin'er and Master go to the South Courtyard first, we will wait for Uncle Xu there."

Chen Jin nodded vigorously, so happy that he completely disappeared from the previous depression, "Master, then let's go!"

Guan Xizhi smiled easily. He always felt that he and Chen Jin had a special connection. From the first meeting, he had a good impression of this child.He liked the child, this warm, loving little fellow.

Hanlin Academy was funded by the royal family, and the conditions in all aspects are of the highest standard.For the sake of safety, after the originally elegant and simple quadrangle building was converted into an academy, the flower pond and water pavilion were deliberately filled up.The style is still there, and the respect is added.

Guan Xizhi's residence is located in the south courtyard of Hanlin Academy, with only one small room.In fact, with Guan Xizhi's status, he can naturally apply to the court for a more decent house, but...

Sad to say.Guan Xizhi is alone and has no relatives in the capital.Living in those spacious places will only make him more sad, it is better to live directly in the academy, firstly, it is convenient to do things, and secondly, it is very good to read precious ancient books nearby.

After entering the house, Chen Jin was immediately attracted by the two small pots on the windowsill.Are there flowers growing here?

"This is called Water Droplet Gyokuro."

Guan Xizhi took a chair and helped the little guy to stand up safely.Only in this position can you see the whole picture.

Pointing to the small round balls with yellow stripes, Chen Jin wondered, "Where are its flowers? And its leaves, which one are the leaves?"

"The round ones are leaves, they don't bloom."

Guan Xi explained patiently.These two pots are the flowers and plants he specially brought back from the "Dong Dan" country.It seems to be a unique breed of others, which has never been seen in the Central Plains.

Chen Jin moved closer, and sniffed hard with his upturned little nose, "It doesn't smell either."

Guan Xizhi nodded, "Yes, it also has no smell."

Chen Jin looked at Guan Xizhi disappointedly, why did Master plant two pots of flowers that didn't bloom or smell?Not fun at all!

Guan Xizhi didn't mind, and gently hugged Chen Jin, then turned around and took out the only pine nut candy suitable for entertaining little guests from the cabinet. I don't know if the little guy likes this taste.

Fortunately, the kids love it.

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Thank you, master!" While thanking, he took out a handkerchief from his skirt and wiped his hands carefully.Chen Jin was delighted, he never thought that his wife would also like pine nut candy, just like his father.

Guan Xizhi held the small box and let Chen Jin choose, but seeing Chen Jin took a small candy, Guan Xizhi inevitably asked curiously: "Just one piece?"

"Daddy said you can only eat one piece, or your teeth will be broken." Shaking the candy in his hand, Chen Jin seemed quite sensible.He really likes candy!But he also has to follow his father's teaching, he wants to be an obedient and good boy.

Guan Xizhi smiled again and again.The smile contained too much praise and praise. He had long heard that there was only one father in Chen Jin's family, and he was such a busy man who was in charge of a large business and took care of everything.

I really don't know how people discipline their children, not only generous and righteous, but also considerate and sensible.

It's really admirable!

The noon sun was abundant.

Guan Xizhi sat at the table and looked at Chen Jin quietly.The bright sunshine shrouded the little guy's body, as if plating a circle of gold on the child.Chen Jin raised her head occasionally, her pink and tender face, her big black and white eyes were like two beautiful black grape pearls, she was really touching and lovely.

Guan Xizhi's heart felt sour. He also has a son named "Jin'er", who is about the same age as Chen Jin, and should be equally beautiful. He hasn't seen that little guy for a long time.It's been a long time.

Guan Xizhi pressed his chest, it was stuffy and tight.He has always been in good health, how could he have a sudden chest pain?Is he missing it too much?Nodding subconsciously, I miss his family so much!No one knows how he survived these years. If he didn't have those two bags of clothes, he could even think it was a dream.A happy and beautiful dream!

There was some movement outside the house.Before Guan Xizhi could react, Chen Jin had already taken a step ahead, running towards the embrace of the man in the distance like a bird eager to return to its nest.

"Daddy!"

The five-year-old is quite aggressive.Chen Zhongbo took two steps back before firmly holding the child into his arms.

Stretching out his hand to pinch his son's face, Chen Zhongbo laughed again and again, "It's a good thing Uncle Xu saw Qiqi come home, otherwise you would really have to wait in the academy until noon!"

"Father is fine, and Uncle Xu is fine too." Chen Jin buried his head in Chen Zhongbo's chest, and rubbed it hard a few times.This is the first time Dad picks him up from class, he is so happy!

Under the sunlight, the image shakes slightly.Guan Xizhi stood by the door and blinked vigorously, "A Xiao, A Xiao..."

"Master, this is my father!" Close to Chen Zhongbo's profile, Chen Jin waved in Guan Xizhi's direction, he wanted to introduce to Master!This is Daddy.

"Ah Xiao! You are Ah Xiao!" Guan Xizhi ran up quickly, ignoring the child.This is his A Xiao, with every frown and smile, every gesture and gesture.He will not admit his mistake, absolutely not!

But... Guan Xi's brows were tightly drawn together.Why does Ah Xiao look like this?Look at yourself as if you were looking at a stranger.It wasn't like this before, they had two years of happiness, and they had a son.

Son... Jin'er, it's Jin'er.Jin'er is really his son!

"Jin'er, you are Jin'er! I should have seen it earlier! My little darling, you have grown so big!"

Guan Xizhi grabbed Chen Jin and shouted excitedly.

Chen Zhongbo broke free a few times, mercilessly, "Master Guan, please respect yourself, I can't help being scared!"

Guan Xizhi was stunned, and looked at Chen Jin blankly.

Sure enough, there was a trace of panic on the always cheerful little face.Did he, did he scare the child?

With a livid face, Chen Zhongbo walked aside and put down Chen Jin. He patiently said: "Jin'er, play here for a while, Daddy has something to say to Master."

"Father..." Chen Jin held onto Chen Zhongbo's sleeve tightly, he felt that Master was a bit scary, he didn't want Father and Master to talk alone, he wanted to protect Father!

It's all right, Dad comes over rarely, and always asks about your study status. "He patted his son on the back lightly.

Chen Zhongbo absolutely did not expect this situation.He is in an urgent mood now, and he has to ask him face to face. After all, the name Ah Xiao only appeared in his dreams, and not many other people know about it.

A few days ago, Chen Zhongbo sent people to investigate Guan Xizhi's background several times.The result of the investigation was the same as the room this person lived in, simple and clean.After taking a rough look, Chen Zhongbo stared at the strange man in front of him, and asked first, "You, your name is Guan Xizhi?"

"My name is Guan Xizhi?!" Guan Xizhi stood there, trembling uncontrollably, "You, don't you remember me?"

Chen Zhongbo turned his face away, deliberately ignoring Guan Xizhi, "Is the A Xiao that the master just said acquaintance?"

"You, you—" Pointing at Chen Zhongbo, Guan Xizhi was too shocked to speak.

He didn't know what happened, he was sure that the person opposite was Ah Xiao, his Ah Xiao!It is impossible for two people in the world to be so similar, he will not admit his mistake, absolutely will not admit his mistake.But, why did Ah Xiao not recognize him? !Why!

Chen Zhongbo didn't raise his eyes, he could hear the other party's excitement, but he couldn't tell what it was like, "You, you are Chen Jin's father?"

"You don't remember? You really don't remember!" What's going on?God, are you playing tricks!

Guan Xizhi stood up abruptly, and hugged Chen Zhongbo's arms tightly, "My name is Guan Yi, and Xizhi is the word you gave me before the exam. Don't you remember?!"

Guan Xizhi showed a bit of irritability, "Have you really forgotten? We promised each other on the day we got married, even if you can't remember the past, you will not forget the present and me! You promised at the beginning, how did you live?" It’s been six years, only six years, and you’ve forgotten?! Have you really forgotten?”

Chen Zhongbo bit the corner of his mouth, he was not a hard-hearted man, he could see the despair on Guan Xizhi's face, and felt somewhat pity in his heart, did he really break his vow?Shaking his head, Chen Zhongbo said goodbye with emotion in his heart, he could not trust Guan Xizhi easily, he needed more understanding and proof.

"You said I should remember, well..." Chen Zhongbo took a deep breath, "Then tell me, when was Jin'er born?"

Guan Xizhi shook his head with a wry smile, "Tell you? Tell you what? Do you remember? You don't have the right answer at all. What do you compare it with?"

A trace of difficulty flashed in the corner of Chen Zhongbo's eyes, Guan Xizhi saw it, but he still couldn't harden his heart after all.

"It was the morning of the first day of December. The little guy weighed seven catties when he was born. He was chubby and much prettier than ordinary kids..."

With a heavy sigh, Guan Xizhi turned and walked into the inner room, holding out two bundles.

This is his treasure, the treasure he has always cherished!

"This dress was worn when you were injured. It was torn in many places. I originally planned to throw it away, but I have been reluctant. I think that when I have the opportunity to come to the capital, maybe I can find someone to help repair it."

Standing aside dejectedly, Guan Xizhi's heart churned violently.He couldn't even find a word to describe his mood at the moment.Mixed flavors?It is not accurate, the five flavors are not enough!

"And these, these are the clothes of you and your son. The characters 'Xiao' and 'Jin' on it, as well as these brocade cloud patterns, were all embroidered by you yourself." Ah Xiao couldn't remember, he forget!Guan Xizhi was full of frustration, he should have thought of this a long time ago, otherwise how could Ah Xiao not go back to find him, how could there be no news at all?

Chen Zhongbo looked at Guan Xizhi, and then at the brocade gown in the bundle.He remembered that this piece of clothing was in his own shop, and he had personally opened the package and seen this piece of clothing.It turned out that the clothes belonged to him...

Picking out three more little red bellybands, Chen Zhongbo lightly stroked the brocade cloud pattern on them with his fingers.He looked at it carefully, and found that it was "broken thread embroidery" of flat stitch, a superb embroidery technique, which he was the only one in Daxi.It's his rust, can't go wrong!

Raising his head, Chen Zhongbo stared closely at Guan Xizhi's eyes, "I, how did you find me?"

"By the stream, Uncle Lin found you. You were unconscious at the time, with a wound on your head as long as your palm. We carried you back to my house and invited a doctor for you. You didn't wake up until you were treated for many days. , but I just don't remember anything...

Guan Xizhi shook his head, bit by bit uncovering the wounds and regrets in his heart.These are the scars that he never dared to touch lightly.Unconsciously raising his eyes, Guan Xizhi suddenly felt pain.He had said so much, yet Chen Zhongbo was still sitting there calmly and calmly, it was truly ruthless!

In fact, Chen Zhongbo is not like Guan Xizhi imagined, in his heart, at this time, the wind is also turbulent, tossing and turning.

He had a feeling that he was happy in those two years, the happiness he had never had before!Otherwise, how could he have given birth to Jin'er? After all, it required a lot of courage.

Chen Zhongbo was very curious about those days, more precisely, he wanted to confirm that feeling.He worries that everything is an illusion, everything is his wishful thinking.Is he really, really as happy as in his dream? "Me, me and you..." Chen Zhongbo didn't want to take the initiative to mention this kind of thing, he didn't want to be passive like a woman, and he wasn't such a long-winded personality.

Guan Xizhi sighed, as if he had already seen through Chen Zhongbo's thoughts, "You have been living in my house. It was like this when you were recovering from your injuries, and it was the same after you recovered from your injuries. You often went down the mountain to teach the children about silk. After a few months, we will be together." Please respect the fruits of other people's labor and do not spread them at will. If you like this book, please buy the original version.

In these years of separation, Guan Xizhi has imagined the scene of reunion countless times, but none of them is like today. There is no joy and comfort, and some are disbelief and strangeness.

When did they become so unfamiliar, they used to be very close!

Chen Zhongbo frowned slightly, "Then you, when I remembered things, you were not by my side, why is that?"

"You have always wanted me to take the scientific examination. You said that if I get the ranking, I can open a bigger academy and teach more children! The scientific examination runs from March to June. First there are township examinations, county examinations, and then Another Beijing test."

Guan Xizhi paused, and then said: "I am able to win the first prize, I really want to thank you. Because in the final palace examination, the emperor happened to get the question of silk, so I put together what you told me before. Together, this was lucky enough to win the first place.

"I was very happy at that time, and I wanted to inform you of the good news as soon as possible. I rushed back to Ziwu Mountain overnight, but there was no one in the house. Sister Li at the foot of the mountain said that Jin'er's high fever persisted for several days. You I was worried and took him to the foot of the mountain to see a doctor. After that, I never came back..."

Guan Xizhi heaved a sigh of relief, although Chen Zhongbo on the opposite side was still indifferent, but for him, it was a lot easier for him to be able to express the heavy depression in his heart!At least, he felt at ease.

"Later, I searched back and forth several times, and went to the medical center and pharmacy at the foot of the mountain many times. At this time, the emperor suddenly sent me an imperial decree to send me to "Dongdan" to study for four years. I had no choice but to I packed my luggage and rushed back to the capital."

In fact, even today, Guan Xizhi has not forgotten to ask for news.It's just that the longer the time interval, the slimmer the hope.Sometimes even Guan Xizhi himself wants to give up.

For a while, the room was extremely silent.

Chen Zhongbo raised his eyes slightly, "Master Guan, I really can't remember these things. But I will investigate clearly. Before I come to a conclusion, I hope..." Chen Zhongbo frowned, "I hope you don't want to talk to me first. Chen Jin said!"

At this moment, Chen Zhongbo's heart was in chaos.He didn't believe Guan Xizhi's words, but he didn't deny anything either.He can only rely on investigations. He not only needs to give himself an explanation, but also to give his son an explanation. This is what he owes the child!

Guan Xizhi's face was livid, and his heart throbbed violently, "Ah Xiao, you have changed! Or is this the real you?" His eyes gradually became quiet, and Guan Xizhi stared closely at Chen Zhongbo who was sitting opposite .This person is Jinlu Chen, who is in charge of Xiangyun Brocade.He is not his Ah Xiao!

Guan Xizhi sighed heavily.What should we do?How can he get back the Ah Xiao from back then?

The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival.

In fact, half a month ago, Chen Jin made a plan. He was going to visit the Dragon Boat Festival by the lake. He even prepared small cheering flags, but he was not happy today, and he didn't want to go.

Sitting on the grass, Chen Jin casually grabbed a little rabbit that was eating green grass beside his leg, "Xiao Doujiao, do you think Master is my father?"

Before the little rabbit could respond, Chen Jin had already given up, "Forget it, you must not know." Chen Jin was depressed. Yesterday he overheard the conversation between his father and his wife. The teacher said so, but his father didn't say anything. No, what was going on, he didn't dare to ask his father.

Standing at the corner of the corridor, Chen Zhongbo kept his eyes fixed on the small figure in the distance.He doesn't have any holiday thoughts today.But that little guy, he's only five years old!How could he be so sad that he even gave up the chance to be happy.

Feeling sorry for his son, Chen Zhongbo walked over and gently rubbed the top of the little guy's head.He needs to have a good talk with the child, or at least explain it.

"Daddy!" Seeing Chen Zhongbo approaching, Chen Jin quickly stood up and greeted obediently.

Chen Zhongbo smiled lightly, picked up the child, and the two sat on the floor. This is the favorite position of father and son.Holding his son in his arms, Chen Zhongbo looked at his sweetheart with a smile.In the past, he always felt that his son was like him, but now it seems that this child is more like his other father, who is as forbearing and restrained, with serious worries.

"Jin'er, do you have anything to ask Daddy?" Chen Zhongbo said leisurely, he would not mind anything, he would try his best to answer any questions, he just wanted to make the child happy.

Biting the corner of her mouth, Chen Jin hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking: "Daddy, is Master my other daddy?"

Chen Zhongbo smiled slightly, "Jin'er, do you like Master to be your father?"

Chen Jin nodded, then shook his head again, "I like Master, but is Master my father? I want the real father!"

Kissing the little hair string on the top of his son's head, Chen Zhongbo took the initiative to promise: "Okay, Daddy promises you, he will definitely give you the real Daddy. But you also have to promise Daddy, you don't have to worry about it anymore, and give it to Daddy again." Give Dad some time to investigate clearly."

"Then daddy, hurry up." Chen Jin nodded heavily, he hoped daddy could investigate clearly earlier.In this way, he can have two fathers, and he hopes to have a younger brother.Of course, my sister can too!

With the details provided by Guan Xizhi, several spies sent by Chen Zhongbo quickly brought back the results, and everything confirmed what Guan Xizhi said.In those two years, they were indeed together!

Ziwu Mountain, a small place in the south, near Zhuoshui County.

When Chen Zhongbo regained his memory, he was in Zhuoshui County. He had asked people to investigate the surrounding areas, but Ziwu Mountain was the only place where he hadn't paid much attention.

The person sent to investigate this time is absolutely reliable. Looking at the five pages of paper filled with the results, Chen Zhongbo was in a panic. He was injured, rescued, fell in love, joined hands, and gave birth to a child...everything was detailed and clear. clearly.

Suddenly, Chen Zhongbo was at a loss.He didn't know what mood he should use to face Guan Xizhi?Confronted with a... stranger who had had an intimate relationship before.

do you accept?Chen Zhongbo shook his head resolutely, he is not the casual type, how could he allow himself to rely on others and be attached to others after a few meetings?But if he didn't accept it, he felt a sense of loss. After all, the feeling of happiness in the dream was what he was eagerly looking forward to.Chen Zhongbo was in great pain, what should he do?

In the past few days, Guan Xizhi's mood has not been very good. He didn't expect the reunion he was looking forward to to come in this way.Guan Xizhi sighed, he thanked God for giving him two years of happiness, allowing him to meet his lifelong lover in Ziwu Mountain.At that time, they were comfortable, down-to-earth, and not rich, but they didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and they were as happy as gods.

Later, Ah Xiao disappeared mysteriously, and this incident was like a slap in the face, knocking Guan Xizhi awake suddenly.

Guan Xi's question is, is his happiness coming too easily?It's so easy for him to get it easily without hard work, so God is not happy, and God wants to take it back!Guan Xi is regretful, but not depressed. At least the thing he fears the most has not happened. At least, Ah Xiao and the child are safe and healthy.For him, that's enough.

Chen Jin gently pushed Guan Xizhi.Classes are over now, why isn't Master leaving?Are you thinking about something?

Feeling weird, Guan Xizhi quickly came back to his senses, looked around, he had just finished class, why did he all go home so soon?

Chen Jin whispered: "Master, you have been in a daze for a long time, Qiqi and the others have all left."

Guan Xizhi squatted down, "Then, why didn't Jin'er leave?" Guan Xizhi felt guilty, Chen Jin wasn't as active as usual these days.Is he worrying about grown-ups?This is not good.

Chen Jin pursed his lips, his hesitant expression made Guan Xizhi feel extremely distressed. "Jin'er, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Jin lowered his head and thought about it, and finally asked bravely, "Master, are you my father?"

Guan Xizhi nodded slightly, feeling even more distressed in his heart.His sweetheart is right in front of him, but he still wants to maintain the posture of his master, in order to give that person time to fully investigate.

Chen Jin opened his small mouth, things were complicated, and the child obviously couldn't figure it out.

Guan Xizhi smiled lightly, and gently placed his right hand on the little guy's lower back, "You have a red mark here, right?"

Chen Jin was very shy, and quickly covered her back with her hands.Guan Xizhi smiled repeatedly, and comforted softly: "It's okay, that is a birthmark, everyone has it. Your father also has it, on his right leg."

Master knows?Chen Jin was startled, and immediately held Guan Xizhi's hands, "How did Master know?"

"Because Master has seen it, it's on the calf of your father's right leg, it's as big as a fingertip."

Chen Jin was surprised.

Guan Xizhi smiled softly, "Jin'er, don't worry, please? Give your father some more time for this matter."

Kissing the top of his son's head with pity, Guan Xizhi knew this matter like a mirror in his heart.That's right, he is anxious, he is eager to achieve consummation.But this kind of consummation cannot be forced.

Therefore, none of them can replace the urging, they can only wait patiently, waiting for Chen Zhongbo to investigate and figure it out by himself.Only in this way, that person can accept it willingly, and is willing to fill in the gaps of these years.

Guan Xizhi was depressed, he had no choice but to wait like this.

Who told him to pick up others and lose them again!It's all his fault!
