Northern Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, and there are so many high-rise houses and courtyards, so it is rare to see something like Li's mansion.

From the place where Li Yan lived all the way to Li Xuan's study, it took a quarter of an hour.

All the way up the terraces, waterside pavilions, carved railings and jade construction, when passing the garden, I saw a plum grove in full bloom in the ice and snow. In such a deep winter season, it just showed a piece of vitality.

These were all scenes that Li Yan had never seen when he was still in this mansion.

It seems that Li Xuan's life is getting better and better these years.

Li Yan withdrew his gaze, suppressed the sneer in his heart, and entered the study under the urging of the steward in a low voice.

Li Xuan had just finished his breakfast, and was sitting at the table slowly drinking tea.

He had a good night before. Although he had washed and changed his clothes, there was still a strong scent of powder on his body, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, which was an obvious pleasure.

When seeing Li Yan, this joy turned into astonishment.

Li Yan took his reaction into his eyes calmly, bit his lower lip, and showed an obviously flattering but fearful smile.

Li Xuan squinted his eyes and looked up and down the young man in front of him: "Li Yan?"

"It's me..." As if startled by Li Xuan's aura, Li Yan only exchanged glances with him, then hastily lowered his head to look at his feet, and said timidly, "Father..."

"Who is your father!" Li Xuan slapped the table heavily, with obvious impatience in his tone, "You died outside that morning, who gave you the courage to come back!"

"I..." Li Yan swallowed nervously, "A few days ago someone delivered a letter saying that you want to admit me back to the Li family..."

"Do you believe what the letter says? You really dare to wishful thinking!"

Li Xuan got up abruptly, walked up to Li Yan in a few steps, and suddenly found that the child who could be manipulated at will was already about the same height as him, but he didn't know whether it was because of the too thin figure or the obviously sick face that made him This half-grown boy always looked timid and shrinking.Even though he has put on a new suit, he still can't stand on the stage no matter how he looks at it.

It's a pity for that pretty face.

Li Xuan flicked his sleeves, turned his back and stopped looking at those eyes that brought back some deep memories: "It was my utmost benevolence to spare your life back then, I really thought that letting your surname continue to be Li was from my Li family , but don’t forget that you are a villain!”

Li Yan shuddered when he heard the last two words, tears welled up in his eyes, but because he was too frightened, he forcibly endured it, choked twice before opening his mouth: "I know..."

"It's good to know!" Li Xuan sat back on the chair, his eyes swept up and down Li Yan's body, "You said someone sent a letter asking you to come back, and the letter, let me have a look."

"The letter was burned by my father... Li Gui. He said he couldn't let me leave him to enjoy the blessings alone, and beat me up."

As Li Yan said, he tugged at his sleeves, and there was indeed a long bruise on his overly fair arm——

This was accidentally bumped into by the bandits when they entered the village in a hurry to hide. According to many memories from childhood to adulthood, Li Gui is not wronged.

Li Xuan glanced at it, looked away casually, picked up the teacup and took a big sip: "Li Gui disagrees, so you ran out secretly?"

"No!" Li Yan hurriedly said, "Yesterday... the day before yesterday, bandits came to the village. Li Gui died, and the house was burned down. I have nowhere to go. Fortunately, the token is still there. That's why..."

"Okay..." Li Xuan interrupted him, "I know about the bandits, so you don't need to talk nonsense."

"Yes..." Li Yan replied, and he didn't hear Li Xuan's words for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help raising his head, but he didn't expect to meet the other party's scrutinizing eyes, and hurriedly lowered his head again, "Then I'll go first."

"Stand over there!" Li Xuan put the teacup back on the table, and leaned back on the chair with his legs crossed, "You don't want to know who sent the letter, and why did you call you back?"

"I...I don't know."

Li Yan stopped subconsciously, but he didn't dare to turn around, let alone look at Li Xuan again.

Li Xuan looked at his slightly bent back, raised his eyebrows slightly: "What did Madam tell you last night?"

"Madam said..." Li Yan hesitated for a moment, and repeated what he heard the night before, "Since I'm back, I will be the son of the Li family from now on, and those shameful rural habits will be changed."

"That's true..." Li Xuan tapped the table with his index finger, "Aside from that, didn't you say anything else? For example, why did she ask you to come back?"

The surprise obviously overshadowed the fear in his heart, Li Yan turned around abruptly, and looked at Li Xuan with wide eyes: "Is the letter from Madam?"

"She wanted you to come back, but she was afraid that it would hurt me and dared not bring it up. She just kept silently sending letters asking you to come back, so that even if I had any dissatisfaction, it would not be her fault..." Li He took out the token from his pocket and threw it on the table, "It's just that she doesn't know that although many people in the mansion have this token, only the one that was given to her back then was made by me, no matter how many years have passed. Years, you can recognize it just by looking at it."

"lady……"

"It's just a loving mother's heart, it's so stupid that it makes people move, but... it helped me solve the current trouble..." Li Xuan poured tea for himself, picked up the tea cup and sniffed it gently, "From today on, you You can return to the Li Mansion, I have already asked someone to explain that you were accidentally wandering away when you were young, and now you have found it by chance, so you can regain your status as the eldest son of Li."

Li Yan didn't seem to believe what he heard, and it took a long time before he said: "Do you really want to admit me back to the Li family?"

"Of course I have my reasons for making such a decision, you just need to be honest and obedient, but..." Li Xuan chuckled, "You have to remember, even if I put you in the genealogy again, you will always be an ungrateful bastard! "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yan who was almost shrunk into a ball because of the last sentence, and laughed, "Okay, I've finished what I need to say, get out as soon as possible and don't get in the way of me. Also, the steward should have told you, There are distinguished guests in the mansion these few days, just stay in your room honestly and don't wander around."

Li Yan plucked up his courage and raised his head to look at Li Xuan, with tears in his eyes, he seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he just bit his lower lip: "Yes..."

He gave Li Xuan a deep bow, then turned around and walked out the door, until the door closed, he could still hear his low sobs.

"It's an evil species after all, and it will never be on the stage..." Li Xuan snorted softly, "But it's still useful."

He put down the teacup in his hand, and asked the steward who was guarding the door: "Send someone to check, has Young Master Yun woke up?"

Young Master Yun naturally got up.

Not only got up, but also saw a familiar figure while standing by the window holding a cup of hot tea to breathe.

"What a coincidence!"

Yun Zhi smiled softly, watching the figure disappear all the way before looking away.

"What a coincidence?" Chen Jin opened the door and saw him standing by the window at a glance, "Standing by the window early in the morning to blow the air, isn't it cold anymore?"

"I drank too much wine yesterday, and I'm still groggy now, let me blow the hair to wake me up..." Yun Zhi put down the empty teacup, rubbed her forehead, "Guess who I saw?"

"Isn't that Li Yan..." Chen Jin sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, "I saw it too, and I also asked about his relationship with Li Xuan."

Yun Zhi casually picked up the teacup: "Didn't my uncle say last night that he was a distant relative who couldn't be reached?"

"That was last night..." Seeing Yun Zhi drinking the tea he had just poured without guilt, Chen Jin could only sigh, and poured himself another cup, "Now this Li Yan is from the Li family. Your eldest son."

"The eldest son of the Li family?" Yun Zhi raised her eyes, "Isn't Li Shao the only son in the Li family?"

Chen Jin took a sip of tea: "It is said that I lost it when I was a child, and I only recognized it recently..."

"Recently?" Yun Zhi didn't know what to think of, and laughed, "Last night, it was really close."

"It's not... no wonder he burned down the house yesterday, so there is a way out..." Chen Jin rested his chin and thought for a while, "I think he should be about your age. Wasn't Li Xuan still in the Marquis at that time? I have never married a wife and I have not heard of any concubines, how could such a big son appear out of nowhere?"

"Yes..." Yun Zhi put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the window, "There used to be a small country called Juba in the north, right?"

"Of course I know. Later, because he repeatedly disturbed the border, he was punished by Lord Hou. It is said that they fought all the way to their capital, forcing the king to come out and surrender..."

Chen Jin continued, "But what does it have to do with Li Xuan?"

"After the fall of Juba, the ruler, relatives and relatives of many important officials became prisoners. According to the usual practice, they were sent to the capital. Li Xuan, as my father's deputy general, was fully responsible for the escort. Later, I heard that the first emperor took the prisoners. A young and beautiful woman named Chang gave it to him..." Yun Zhi frowned at this point, "There were rumors at the time that Li Xuan raped Chang on the way to the capital after seeing her beauty, Afterwards, Chang's family became pregnant, and it was the kindness of the late emperor to follow suit."

"..." Chen Jin was silent for a long time holding the teacup before saying: "It is said that I saw Li Xuan for the first time yesterday, but I felt that he could really do such a bastard thing... So, the child I was pregnant with was Li Xuan. Yan, even if the child is really lost later, what about the Chang people?"

"Afterwards, Li Ling stayed in the capital and served as a guard for a while. If he wasn't under my father's command, the two families would lose contact. Later, he met the wife of this aristocratic family, and took advantage of the power of the Yue family to prosper all the way. Governor of Pingzhou..." Yun Zhi half leaned against the window, unconsciously knocked twice on the window sill, "Neither the child nor the Chang family have heard of it again."

Chen Jin thought for a while: "It's just that he recognized his son at this time, probably because of the edict of the capital... Speaking of which, this Li Yan is really pitiful."

"Poor?" Recalling the two encounters with Li Yan, Yun Zhi shook his head, "Li Shao's son who is loved by thousands of people naturally does not need to go to the capital, but for Li Yan, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The house is his. He burned it himself, and he came to Pingzhou himself? It would be really pitiful for a person like him to stay in that small village all his life."

"What kind of person is he?" Chen Jin asked subconsciously.

Yun Zhi looked back at him: "He's different from you, someone with brains."

Chen Jin: "..."

Ever since he was a child, Chen Jin had never taken advantage of Yun Zhi's argument in terms of words, and he didn't bother to refute it now. After drinking a sip of tea, he thought about other things: "Is that village far from Pingzhou? I lost it, why did I only recognize it now, could this Li Yan be a counterfeit that Li Xuan found... Otherwise, let me go find out again?"

"Do you think that Ducheng man is easy to fool? Rest..." Yun Zhi glared at him, then turned his gaze out of the window, "Li Xuan... If it wasn't for taking care of the bandits, I wouldn't even be in his house. No way, these crap things make my ears dirty."

Chen Jin nodded subconsciously, and couldn't help curling his lips when he heard the last sentence: "Then you still ask people's old things so clearly?"

"Brother told me..." Yun Zhi closed the window with his hand back, and sat down opposite Chen Jin, "During Li Xuan's wedding, my father was busy with military affairs, so my elder brother came to give him gifts. I heard that he was going out. Yuanmen sticks to him and follows.

Later, I found out that although my elder brother was polite to this "Uncle Li Shi", he was very indifferent. When I asked him on the way home, he told me those old things.

He also told me that one must be worthy of the heaven and earth in order to be a human being, and that an elder like Li Xuan would be sorry for the sage books he had read in the past if he came into contact with him more than once. "

Chen Jin opened his mouth, but finally couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, as always, doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, but you were only so old at that time, why did you tell you everything?"

"Six or seven years old..." Yun Zhi lazily leaned back on the chair, thinking of something, with a smile on her lips, "What's so strange about it, we've talked about even more unbelievable things, I'm just too lazy to tell you."

"Okay, okay, I know that you brothers have a good relationship... It's not that I haven't seen you clinging to the prince all day long like a tail when you were a child. You are only a few years old, and you don't sleep every day. You go to school with you every day. Kaimeng You don’t even need to invite me, my son will do it all by myself..." Chen Jin looked at him and couldn't help laughing, "I told Li Xuan yesterday that Master Hou drove you to the school with a stick, Master Hou knew Are you slandering him like this outside? Others don't know, but I don't know?

You are willing to learn martial arts because the elder son was not in good health when he was young and couldn't practice martial arts. You wishful thinking that you have to protect him, support the Zhenyuan Hou's mansion, and sit in Youzhou. "

"Okay! Be careful that sooner or later, I will silence you for talking too much!"

Yun Zhi glared at Chen Jin, tilted her head on the back of the chair, and her thoughts drifted unconsciously: "At that time, I was young, and I thought that as long as my martial arts were invincible, I could protect the people I cared about. Only when I grew up, did I realize that just being strong in martial arts useless.

Right now, the Holy Majesty has just succeeded to the throne, Huai'an King is in control of the government, and the situation in the court is chaotic, but as long as the Yun family is still there, it will not be too difficult for the eldest brother to be in the capital. "

Speaking of this, he leaned on the table in front of him and sighed softly: "It's just that the journey is long and it's difficult to go home. I haven't seen him for three years!"

Chen Jin couldn't help shaking his head when he looked at him, this young man of his family was shrewd and transparent most of the time.

But as long as the prince is involved, he will return to his teenage appearance, and from time to time he will act like a baby and deny it.

He poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Isn't this here to pick you up? It should be here tomorrow at the latest!"

"You ask someone to stand guard outside the city, and we'll go straight back when we pick him up. Big brother has been exhausted all the way, so don't let him deal with Li Xuan while suffering from nausea..." Yun Zhi stretched her waist, "I'll go later Ask about the bandit's follow-up situation, go around the city, and buy some new and interesting things..."

"I know!" Chen Jin curled his lips, "Even if you go to war these few years, you have to bring something back to Shu'er, can I still forget?!"

Yunzhi lowered her eyes, with a gentle smile on the corners of her eyes and brows: "You don't have any brothers or sisters, so you don't understand the joy of having a nephew... But this time my own father is back, and Shu'er may not be able to let me go as an uncle in his eyes. "

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the closed door suddenly, followed by a familiar voice: "My lord, there is news about your son."

The author says:

Li Yan: Who is not an acting school.

About Li Yan's life experience will be explained later in the article, don't worry!
