Green Luan Banquet

After early winter, the school also had a holiday, and it snowed heavily for a few days. During this time, Shen Shuyan was the busiest. Yan Xiu also began to follow Shen Shuyan to read the account books and handle business affairs. Even several times, Shen Shuyan was in poor health. Comfortable, Yan Xiu went out to deal with some emergencies on his behalf.

He is not very old, so it is naturally difficult to convince the public. Some old guys even made things difficult in front of him, and Yan Xiu was able to resolve them one by one. It could be seen that Shen Shuyan was protecting him, and gradually no one dared to be presumptuous anymore.

And Shen Qingyan was also caught by his father to learn to read the account book, but he really had no interest in this area, and he often became impatient after reading two pages, but Shen Shuyan was in poor health, and he did not dare to provoke his father, so he gnawed hard every day. Those accounts seem like years.

Fortunately, Yan Xiu was with him. Although he didn't talk much, he was very patient. When Shen Qingyan asked him questions that he didn't understand, he taught him very carefully.Even if Shen Qingyan asked a question three or four times repeatedly, he didn't show any sign of impatience.

Sometimes Shen Qingyan couldn't help thinking that it would be nice to have such an elder brother. However, for some reason, subconsciously, he still didn't want to call Yan Xiu "brother", and he always called Yan Xiu by his name more often.

Shen Qingyan supported his chin with one hand, and flipped through another page of the account book. What he was looking at now was the copy that Yan Xiu had transcribed before, with his annotations on it, which seemed easier to understand. Yan Xiu practiced calligraphy since childhood, with elegant handwriting and regular strokes Zheng, the characters are just like his person, revealing a bit of indifference and elegance.Shen Qingyan turned page after page, unwittingly read the entire account book, only focusing on what Yan Xiu wrote.

However, he was fascinated by the comparison of some account books and the balance of previous years. Shen Qingyan sighed, remembering his father's lowered cough, tightened his fingers, looked down at the account books again, and read them seriously .

Sometimes he also wondered, if he was more naughty, more reckless, and made his father miss him more, would his father be more worried?But sometimes he thought, if he was more obedient and followed his wishes, his father would be happy and his health might get better.His mother died of illness in the year he was born, and his father's health has always been poor. But Shen Qingyan never dared to think that his health was so poor.

Time flies, and half a year has passed, Shen Shuyan is lying on the bed most of the time, Shen Qingyan sees him most of the time, Shen Shuyan is drinking medicine, or closing his eyes to rest, occasionally a doctor comes over, his complexion is not very good, the prescription After changing it again and again, Shen Shuyan's illness did not improve much.

Yan Xiu and some of his cronies were responsible for most of the external affairs, and he only came forward when Shen Shuyan really needed to make a decision himself.And almost every time, Shen Shuyan would bring two children with him.

Every day after reading the account books, he went to talk to his father, laughed and made noises, sometimes Shen Shuyan was awake and would talk to him for a while, sometimes he was really sick and fell asleep in a drowsy state, Shen Qingyan didn't dare If he quarreled with him, he took the account book and read it slowly on the table in his room.

On this day, the weather was extremely cold, and the snow fell in the yard in a sprinkling of white. Even the few red plum trees were covered by white snow. You could only smell the fragrance of plum blossoms, but you couldn't see them.

Wearing a gray fox fur, Shen Qingyan walked slowly into Shen Shuyan's yard with a book in hand.That day, Shen Shuyan didn't lie in bed to recuperate from illness. When Shen Qingyan arrived, he was holding a heater and sitting in front of the desk writing something.Seeing Shen Qingyan approaching, he smiled and beckoned his son to sit down.

Shen Qingyan suddenly felt flustered for no reason.

After a while, Shen Shuyan seemed to have written a letter, sealed it in an envelope and sealed it with wax.

Shen Qingyan was reading a book when suddenly he heard Shen Shuyan calling him, "Yan'er."

Shen Qingyan raised her head abruptly.

"You keep this letter, as a father. I hope you two brothers can get along well. If... If there is a conflict one day," Shen Shuyan coughed twice, and then said, "If one day Xiu'er wants to leave, you can open this letter again. letter."

Shen Qingyan nodded and reached out to take it.

"Daddy."

"You go and find Xiu'er, as a father. I have something to explain to you." Shen Shuyan raised his hand to signal him to go out and call for someone. Even though the room was burning with warm coals, his lips were cold.A huge panic suddenly spread from the bottom of Shen Qingyan's heart, this kind of unreasonable panic made him speechless for a while, he just nodded with a pale face, and then ran out quickly.

As the end of the year approaches, there are a lot of things to be busy, and the workers have to take a break. Yan Xiu went out before dawn. He checked the inventory at the end of the year and the orders for the coming year with the bosses of several commercial firms today, but he always felt a little restless. Suddenly he heard a horse neighing, and from a distance, he saw Shen Qingyan stumbling over.

"Qing Yan, what's wrong?" Yan Xiu stopped him.

"Daddy. Daddy is looking for you." Shen Qingyan's eyes were red, and he held his arms tightly. Seeing that he couldn't restrain the trembling from the depths of his body, Shen Qingyan gritted his teeth and dragged him out, " Come on, follow me to find Dad."

Yan Xiu nodded, grabbed his hand and got on the horse, then pulled up Shen Qingyan, pulled the rein after he also got on the horse, and ran towards the direction of Shen's residence.

Shen Qingyan's hands were around his waist, those hands were extremely cold, even through the thick clothes, he could feel the coolness permeating through the material, and there were large and small scratches on them, he searched all the way, After searching for countless places, Yan Xiu lowered his eyes, held the rein with one hand, and held Shen Qingyan's hands with the other.The wind and snow stretched all the way, and the flying snow and ice made people unable to open their eyes. Yan Xiu galloped past, and the imprint of the horse's hoof on the snow was quickly covered by the heavy snow. I don't know how long it had passed, and finally returned to Shen's mansion. , Yan Xiu got off his horse, Shen Qingyan slid down from the horse in embarrassment, the snow was still falling heavily, and the short distance from the corridor to the inner courtyard was covered with snow again, Shen Qingyan felt a little cold in front of his eyes, wiped his I don't know whether it is snow or tears that are frozen on my face.

When he arrived at Shen Shuyan's room, Uncle Yu was guarding him.

Shen Shuyan sat on the head of the bed, covering his body with a thick quilt. There were several middle-aged people standing in front of him. Shen Qingyan recognized one of them as the shopkeeper of a silk shop in the city. They all looked unhappy. Among them, Chen The shopkeeper couldn't hide the anger on his face.When several people saw the two children coming in, they turned their heads and took a look, but didn't say much.

"You two, come here." Shen Shuyan called out.

Yan Xiu pulled Shen Qingyan and walked over.

"Today, I told them that all the business of the Shen family will be handed over to Xiu'er and Qingyan." After Shen Shuyan said a few words, he turned his head and coughed violently for a while, his pale face pale. With an unnatural red, he braced his body and moved closer, "Yan'er is still young, Xiu'er, please take care of him more, cough cough."

"Father."

Shen Shuyan stopped Yan Xiu with his eyes, and then turned his head to look at those few people, "I have talked to Xiu'er about your affairs, and I will assist Yan'er well, and the Shen family will naturally not treat you poorly. Cough cough. "

Several people glanced at each other, then bowed and saluted, and whispered, "Yes, sir."

Then Uncle Yu led them away.

After Uncle Yu closed the door, Shen Shuyan looked down at the two children kneeling beside the bed, sighed, and said, "Yan'er, my father knows that you have no interest in doing business, and you are still young, so my father doesn't want to." Persecute you, but...the Shen family's burden, I'm afraid I can't bear it as a father." Shen Qingyan's eyes were red and he was speechless.

"In the future, you will ask Xiu'er if you have anything. During this time, Xiu'er has learned a lot. Before you became an adult, you left the family affairs to Xiu'er. After you became an adult, you will work with Xiu'er to take care of the Shen family. He will always It's your elder brother." He lightly brushed Shen Qingyan's hand, his eyes turned to Yan Xiu, and he smiled slightly, "For father, I believe in you."

"Father." Yan Xiu's eyes were also red, he knelt and took two steps forward, and grabbed Shen Shuyan's hand.

Shen Shuyan's gaze was soft and warm, with a little relief.

"If the Shen family's family property cannot be kept, nothing will happen." He lowered his voice and continued, "I only hope that you two are safe as a father. , even the expression became sluggish, and then slowly froze.

"Daddy!" The shrill cry pierced through the snowy night, Shen Qingyan cried hoarsely, her fingers firmly grasped her father's arm, but that person never responded to him again.
