Chapter 187 187
The elder brother's child actually regarded himself as his father, which Yuanyi never thought of.
Come to think of it, this is no surprise.The elder brother has been away from home for a long time, and the person who has been by this child's side is himself; for a young child who has just come to this world, he probably plays the role of "father".
Is this a bad thing, or a good thing?
Yuan Yi didn't know how to answer.
"Master Yuan, you are back."
At this moment, he heard Yijie's familiar voice.Yuan looked sideways, and saw Youcha standing at the end of the corridor after returning from busy work.In early summer, she hung her gown in a roll at the waist, and an inch of white silk was exposed on the edge of the plum-dyed blouse, and her skin became as white as porcelain.
You took a few steps to Yuanyi's side, and gently reached out to touch the child's delicate cheek: "Every time Yuanyi comes, Ah Sheng is very happy. This child really likes you very much."
Yuan Yi smiled, and was about to speak when the baby in her arms started babbling again.
"Pa..."
"Papapa!"
You heard this, and was stunned, while Yuanyi was a little embarrassed, and said embarrassedly: "Sorry, sister Yi, I don't know Ah Sheng...how could you say such things."
You was stunned for a while, and couldn't help laughing with her cheeks propped up: "Oh, children are like this. The first sentence they say is either 'mother' or 'father'." After finishing speaking, she gently scratched Touch Ah Sheng’s forehead, and follow the instructions, “Come on, Sheng, try it? ‘Mother—mother——’.”
However, Asheng just chuckled for a while, and continued to repeat the single saliva sound.
"It seems that Ah Sheng hasn't learned to speak yet." Yu put down his fingers, pulled out the juniper fan at his waist, and said slowly, "I will teach him how to speak later. Well, Mr. Yuan, summer is already very hot Come in and sit down."
"Ah."
The inside of the house was newly replaced with summer bamboo curtains, and once the tender goose-yellow silk was collected, the bamboo curtains were divided into two pieces, the inside and the outside.Bamboo tubes filled with crushed ice are placed under several tents, exuding air-conditioning to dispel the heat.Ji Guoyuan handed Ah Sheng to his wet nurse, sat down cross-legged, thought about it and said, "Sister Yi, I want to do one thing."
"what?"
"I want to give it a try and advise my elder brother to come back and have a look."
"Huh?" Yu was a little surprised by his sudden proposal.She unfolded the juniper fan leisurely, with an indifferent and uninterested look, "Is it necessary to do this? Whether he is present or not, it makes no difference at all. Me, as long as this child is by my side is enough."
Yuan Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "But, for Ah Sheng, he still needs a father."
Life without a father and family is not easy.Yuan couldn't understand this point again and again.I can play the role of father when Ah Sheng was young, but what about in the future?He couldn't always regard his uncle as his father.
Ke You said indifferently: "He doesn't need it. He is the future governor of the Jiguo family, and he must become an independent and strong person. Even without a father, he can grow up by himself."
Yuan Yi was taken aback for a moment, looking at You with a hint of bewilderment.
The woman in front of him, although her complexion is still gentle, but her tone has a hardness that does not match her appearance.
.This kind of her is like hiding a sharp knife in the silk, and when the softness on the outside fades away, only the blade will be revealed.
Ji Jun's character is like this, he is not unaware of it. --
She looks gentle and harmless, but inside she is a very stubborn and strong person.If not, at the age of six, she would not have asked her to leave her hometown for the sake of her family and come to Ruozhou in order to become the wife of a stranger in the future.
"Ah... sorry, sister Yi." Yuan Yi lowered his head and sighed in his heart.
He understands that his elder brother still loves Ji Jun.It's just that Ji Jun's heart is not on him, which made the always proud elder brother unbearable, so he decided to leave.
Yuanyi once hoped that Ji Jun would leave his brother's side and live a free life of his own.But after Ah Sheng was born, Yuan Yi changed his mind.What a tiring task it is to raise a child, it must be impossible for Ji Jun alone.If the elder brother can accompany Ji Jun and share the task of raising the children, it will definitely make Ji Jun feel more relaxed.
It's just that Ji Jun's resentment towards his elder brother never seemed to slow down.
/ / /
Summer and winter, spring and autumn, the child named "Asheng" is also growing up little by little.
A child of this age usually looks the same for a few days, but every time Ji Guoyuan came to visit him every half a month or ten days, he would notice that Ah Sheng had stretched out again.From a small baby nestled in the swaddle at the beginning, it gradually stretches its limbs and grows up slowly.
This process of witnessing a child grow up is a unique happiness for Yuanyi.He has very little desire/desire for the world, he neither longs for money nor cares about power, but he likes these small achievements, such as the rhododendron he planted by himself blooms, a child grows up gradually, or the tree takes root and sprouts and grows. tall tree crowns—those were his favorite things.
I always felt that in the blink of an eye, Ah Sheng, who could only wave his little hands in his swaddling baby, was already crawling around on the ground, and was able to walk a certain distance with bumps from time to time.
"Ah Sheng can already walk!" This was Yuan Yi's uncontrollable exclamation when he visited again.
Ah Fang, the nanny who was in charge of taking care of Ah Sheng, said with a smile, "Not only that? Our young master is a very smart child, he has already learned to call 'mother', which makes Madam very happy."
As soon as Yuan heard the words, he looked at You outside the bamboo curtain.Contrary to what Ah Fang said, she was not happy, she seemed to be discussing something anxious with the female room, her brows were slightly frowned, and she tightened and opened the juniper fan anxiously with both hands.
"Sister Yi seems to have encountered something..." Yuan Yi looked at Yu's expression and said in a low voice.
--
Just as he was talking, Ah Sheng, who was lying on the ground and playing with his round drum, suddenly trotted towards Yuan Yi's arms.Not long after he learned to walk, he still stumbled a little, and almost fell after running a few steps.
"Be careful." Yuan Yi caught the limp little guy and said with a smile.
On the other hand, Ah Sheng showed a tender smile, stretched out his chubby hand towards Yuan Yi, and shouted vaguely: "Father! Hold it up!"
The nanny was stunned, a little surprised, and then smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, Mr. Yuan, this is really embarrassing. Recently, Aju often brings her son Quan Taiye to the palace to play with the young master. , the young master learned these from Quanta
..." That's all, the nanny taught in a low voice, "Young master, this is Mr. Yuan, Mr. Yuan.Not 'father'. "
Yuan Yi didn't feel offended, but his smile grew wider.He looked at Ah Sheng, and said in a gentle voice, "It's okay. Ah Sheng wants to...raise the height, right? How should I play?"
"No, no, how can you make Mr. Yuan do such a thing?" The nurse quickly stopped, "We will play with the young master."
"Asheng wants to play with me." Yuanyi didn't feel any discomfort at all, he took the initiative to embrace Asheng, and said in a low voice, "How high do you want to lift? The sky is so high, is it enough?"
When You raised the bamboo curtain and entered the room, he saw his child was being lifted high by Yuan Yi, waving his limbs happily.And Yuanyi seemed to be having a good time playing, smiling like a child.Two people, one big and one small, completely forget themselves, and others can't penetrate at all.
"Father...Father!"
A Sheng called Yuan Yi, causing You to show a slightly surprised expression.Immediately, she laughed helplessly: "Oh, Ah Sheng is still young..."
She lifted the hem of her clothes and quietly watched Yuan Yi and A Sheng play.After waiting for a long time, Ah Sheng was tired from playing and finally fell into a deep sleep. She told Ah Fang to take the child down to rest, and she said to Yuan: "Master Yuan, I have something to discuss with you."
As soon as Yuan heard the words, he remembered that when he and A Sheng had so much fun just now, You had been standing by and waiting.He was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Yi, I kept you waiting for a long time."
"It's nothing." You leaned on the pillow and sat down, smiling lightly, "Ah Sheng was very happy when he was with you, and I hope he can play with you for a while longer....Okay, let's get down to business. Yuanyi, I have something to ask you."
She was suddenly so serious, Yuan Yi couldn't help but feel a little worried: "What's the matter? Please tell me, Mrs. Righteous Sister."
"When this child grows up, I want you to teach him swordsmanship." U said.
"..." Yuan Yi blinked, but did not immediately agree.He put his hands on his knees and said in a low voice, "Does Yijie hope that Ah Sheng can also become a good swordsman?"
"Exactly." You frowned, and said slowly, "Sheng is still too young. Even if he is the young master of the successor country, he may not be able to truly inherit the successor family when he grows up."
"..." This was Yuan Yi's unexpected words, he was a little surprised, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Since Yanshengdian left, the Jiguo family has been in charge of Yanshengdian's uncle and five retainers. Although my uncle swore to hand over the Jiguo family to him after my child and crown, but 15 Years are really too long, and it is really hard to guarantee whether my uncle will fulfill this promise by then. Moreover, the current uncle has completely forbidden me to touch any affairs of the Jiguo clan."
Yuanyi didn't understand these mundane struggles, because he left the whole family when he was seven years old, and he had never met the uncle who was in power in Yu's mouth.He was very confused and asked: "How could this be? You are the wife of the elder brother, and you are the main wife of the lord."
"Uncle is very old, his son also died in the war; and uncle's only heir is his grandson, Master Song Master who is the same age as Sheng." You tapped the tatami with a cypress fan, with a tone of voice Gradually getting colder, "If my son wants to successfully become the governor of the family, he must be better and more famous than Master Song, just like Yan Sheng
Like the temple——When I didn't come to Ruozhou, I heard that he was a young master with "excellent swordsmanship and good education". ...So, Enichi, please. "
As soon as Yuan finished listening, he felt a little bit at a loss in his heart.
To be honest, Yuanyi didn't want Ah Sheng to learn swordsmanship.In fact, he doesn't like swordsmanship very much, especially the feeling of hitting and hurting people when the sword falls on people. He even wished that he had never had the talent for swordsmanship.However, in order to hunt ghosts, so that no one will die at the hands of ghosts, he has to use swordsmanship.
And Ah Sheng has no hatred for ghosts, so he doesn't need to learn such hurtful things.
but……
He looked at Yu in front of him and opened his mouth, unable to say the words of rejection.Only when facing Yijie, he just wanted to fully agree to her request.
"Yuanyi, is it okay?" she asked, "Teach my child how to use swordsmanship and make him a great swordsman."
"……it is good."
/ / /
Although he promised that Yijie would teach her children swordsmanship, according to Ah Sheng's current age, he is still too young, and he is a bit embarrassed to even stand up, let alone touch the sword.Therefore, Yuanyi just played with him, and occasionally told him the stories he encountered when he went out.
Of course, he will not mention such scary things as "ghosts", but only talk about some interesting anecdotes, such as civet cats using copper coins turned from leaves to buy things, or cats rescued by kind children will bring them every day to repay their kindness. Polygonum leaves.Because of the mission, he has been to many places, and the anecdotes he talked about are all over the world, everything.Sometimes, while the story was being told, even the nanny and servants who took care of the young master couldn't help coming over to listen to the story together, and then made fussing noises.In the end, it ends with Ah Sheng saying "Father, I'm sleepy".
It is no surprise that the young master calls Yuanyi "father".Although the nanny and servants corrected him over and over again, but with little effect, the young child insisted on calling Yuanyi his father.Maybe he will be willing to change his words after he is a little older and understands what "father" is.
It was already after the age of three that Ah Sheng got hold of the bamboo sword for practice.
I don't know if it's because he inherited Yan Sheng's bloodline, but he seems to like "swords" very much. When he touched the bamboo sword for the first time, he seemed to put on a sword-holding posture decently.Yuan looked at it, and was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Maybe, Ah Sheng has also inherited the talent of my elder brother."
That's all, Yuan Yi stood up, walked towards Ah Sheng, and said, "Sheng, do you want to see how things like 'swords' are used?"
A Sheng, who was using the sword as a toy, raised his head curiously.Although he was still very young at the age of three or four, with a soft and round face, his facial features were already very similar to Iwakatsu, and it could even be said to be very similar to the seven-year-old Iwakatsu in Yu's memory.Naturally, he and Yuan Yi also look quite alike.When two people, one big and one small, stand together, no one will not treat them as father and son.
"Father, is this the 'sword'?"
"It's 'uncle'." Yuanyi corrected patiently, "Yes, this is the 'sword'. It is something used to protect important people, not to hurt people. On this point, Sheng must always Remember. Anyone who holds a sword must remember this sentence."
Ah Sheng nodded with a half understanding: "I understand, Father."
Yuan Yi couldn't do anything about his refusal to change his words.Yuanyi sighed embarrassingly, then smiled and pulled out the sun wheel knife on his waist: "Look, win."
Yuanyi's swordsmanship is enough to make anyone sigh in admiration and stop breathing.The blazing sun rises into the sky, and the flaming wind formed by the phantom sun leaps and tumbles on the blade of the sword.Looking at his posture when he swung his sword, it was like appreciating a dance of gods that existed in ancient times.
Let alone young children, even Yu, who has seen Yuan Yi's swordsmanship several times, will hold his breath again, and can't help but stare at his figure in a daze for a long time.
"Sheng, do you want to learn swordsmanship?" Yuan Yi squatted down after sheathing the Rilun Knife, holding A Sheng's hand, and asked softly.
Ah Sheng blinked, and blinked again, as if he had just woken up from a huge dream.Soon, he showed a childlike joy, quickly kept Yuanyi, and said: "I want to learn swordsmanship! I want to be a swordsman like my father!"
"It's 'uncle'..." Yuanyi corrected helplessly again.
Since then, Ah Sheng began to learn swordsmanship from Yuan Yi.
He is just a child, so naturally he will not touch the "breathing technique", something that can only be used by hunting ghosts, and it is enough to learn ordinary swordsmanship.Perhaps because he admired Yuanyi's strength too much, Ah Sheng longed to become a swordsman like Yuanyi, and had been practicing extremely hard.
This kind of hard work and hard work even made You Cong see the shadow of Yan Sheng in this child.Wasn't Yan Sheng, who was young, practicing so hard every day, eager to surpass Yuan Yi and become the most powerful swordsman in this country?
When Ah Sheng was five years old, according to the custom of Ji Guo, he abandoned his baby name and put on his real name, taking it as "Ji Guo Good Deeds".It was also on this day that You summoned his child and told him seriously that Yuan Yi was not his father, but his uncle.
--
Ah Sheng, whose name was changed to Liang Xing, seemed very unable to accept this fact.
He has always regarded this gentle and patient man with excellent swordsmanship as the father he most yearns for and admires in his heart.Now he clearly learned from his mother that the person he had longed for for many years was not his father, and he was very sad.
You can also understand Yoshiyuki's sadness.Yuanyi is a perfect person, no matter who he is, he will admire him, not to mention that Liangxing is a child who grew up under his arms.But facts are facts, Yuan Yi is not Liang Xing's father, she has to tell this child.
"Then... Mother, where is my father?" Liangxing wiped away his tears and asked earnestly.
"Your father..." Yu narrowed his eyes, recalling Ji Guoyansheng who had been away from home for many years, and said frankly, "His name is 'Yansheng'. Your baby name 'Sheng' comes from his name. Inherited character. He has left us for many years, and now, he is also a very powerful swordsman."
"Have you never been back?" Liangxing's young face seemed to have an expression of disbelief.
"Ah... I came back." Yu said, "It's just that Yoshiyoshi was too young at that time, so I don't remember it."
Good line hangs his head, very disappointed.
"Don't be sad, Liang Xing, you are a strong child." You touched the eldest son's heart, and said softly, "Even if your father is not around, you will become a person in charge of yourself."
Liang Xing frowned, Ann
After a long period of silence, he suddenly asked: "Master, is it because that 'Master Father' left home that you shed tears at night?"
"Yeah..." Yuu was a little surprised.
In the beginning, she did shed tears at night, but only once or twice.Later, when I got used to the time when Iwakatsu was not around, it didn't matter completely.Unexpectedly, Liang Xing remembered all of them.
"Forget it. But mother doesn't care anymore," she said.
After that day, Yoshiko practiced swordsmanship harder and harder.For some reason, Yu feels that this child is more and more similar to his father Yansheng.And Liang Xing does have a good swordsmanship talent, although it is not as good as Yuan Yi's talent that is loved by the gods, but it is indeed much better than the average peers.
At only six years old, the reputation of Liangxing's swordsmanship has far surpassed that of Uncle Yansheng's heir, the young master named "Master Song".If things go on like this, Liang Xing will surely grow into one of the best warriors.
Such growth has brought uneasiness to Iwakatsu's uncle in power.Having held the Jiguo family in his hands for many years, he is obviously unwilling to hand over the power to the successor of Yansheng.Therefore, he and You, the dignified Mrs. Guoshou, often had disagreements on opinions.It's just that her uncle was unable to do anything to her because of her background in An Yi.
Every time he encounters his uncle's retainers, Yu will feel a headache, and he needs to spend several times his energy to deal with these people who have their own ghosts.The only time to relax is watching Yuanyi teach Liangxing swordsmanship.
It is the moment of full spring, and the cherry blossoms planted in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the branches are covered with pink and white petals like clouds.When a gust of wind came, the fallen flowers fell to the ground like rain.
The young Ji Guoliang held a wooden sword in his hand, and put on an attacking posture with a serious expression.His face is still immature, but his eyes are extremely serious, he doesn't look like a child of this age.All this is because the opponent he is facing is Ji Guo Yuan Yi.
Compared with Liangxing's seriousness, Yuanyi is much more relaxed.He smiled lightly, holding the wooden sword in one hand, and said calmly, "Liang Xing, use the sword I taught you last time to attack."
"Yes!"
As soon as the words fell, Ji Guoliang swung his sword in a dignified manner, and attacked his uncle.The sound of the wooden sword hitting came from the courtyard crisply.Yuan Yi obviously gave in on purpose, deliberately presenting a tie with him, so as to arouse Liang Xing's confidence.
You sat in the corridor, holding a page of letters in his hands, and glanced at his son practicing sword in the courtyard from the corner of his eye from time to time, but he focused more on the letters.
Liangxing grew bigger and bigger. Yansheng's uncle was very wary of Liangxing, and he had been acting frequently recently.This is a matter of who will inherit the family property of the Jiguo family, and she cannot be negligent in guarding against it.
"Madam!...Madam!" At this moment, a panicked voice came from a female roommate in the corner.The woman stumbled to Yu's side, gasped for breath, and whispered to You in an unbelievable tone, "Madam, Your Highness...His Highness, he...is back..."
At first, You didn't realize who the "His Royal Highness" she said was, and she was still carefully deliberating about the uncle in the letter.She just replied meaninglessly: "Is there a guest? Invite him to sit in front. I'll be there in a while."
"No! It's... Your Highness, His Highness Yansheng." The female room whispered anxiously, "Ma'am,
It is His Highness who is back! "
"Your Highness..." You murmured it again, and suddenly came back to God, "You said, Yan Sheng Palace?"
The female room nodded bitterly.
You frowned, and murmured: "How is that possible? I'm afraid you may have read it wrong."
Before she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of a tall man's figure behind the woman's room out of the corner of her eye.The man was wearing a coat of poisonous feathers and mouse color, black hair underneath, long black hair tied in one strand, and his face was silent and majestic.
You slowly raised his head, just in time to see a gust of wind blowing his sleeves to the full.The cheeks were raised, and a pair of familiar eyes looked into hers.
pat.
The pen in Yu's hand fell to the ground, and a large group of dirty ink smeared on the letter paper.
"Yansheng... Palace...?" She suspected that she was hallucinating.
how could be?Yan Sheng, who has been away from home for many years and has not heard from him, has... come back?
And the silent and solemn young man just nodded, and then looked sideways at the courtyard.
Under the cherry tree in Shengchun, the young Ji Guoliang Xing was attacking his uncle Ji Guo Yuanyi with his sword over and over again.His young face was covered with sweat, and his pupils were full of seriousness.The sleeves were rolled up on the shoulders, revealing the mottled hands bruised from sword practice.
Once again, Liang Xing was easily defeated by Yuan Yi.Liangxing squatted down and exhaled, then stood up firmly, assumed an offensive posture again, and said, "Do it again, my lord father!"
Hearing this address, Ji Guoyansheng who was standing in the corridor was obviously stunned for a moment.
Because, the "father" that the seven-year-old Liangxing said was obviously not about him, but Ji Guoyuanyi who stood opposite Liangxing and practiced sword with Liangxing over and over again.
"Good line, I'm 'uncle', have you forgotten again?" Yuanyi corrected helplessly, "Besides, good line has been practicing all afternoon, are you tired? Why don't you take a rest first."
"Ah... sorry. Uncle Yuanyi." Liangxing breathed out, changed his words indifferently, and then said seriously, "Uncle, I want to become the most powerful warrior in this country. Please continue, I am not tired !"
