I'm just a dude

Xu Xuan quickly put down Qi Yuan, and both of them stood together obediently with their hands tied.

Qi Zhuo's eyes had changed when he saw the two of them, and he sized up Xu Yu fiercely, wanting to tear Xu Wei off three layers.

Xu Yu has never experienced this kind of thing since she was a child, and she was already sweating from fright. Fortunately, she has cultivated her energy for many years, and she politely saluted Qi Zhuo, saying: "Your Majesty has seen Mr. Qi."

Qi Zhuo walked over slowly, and after a long time, he let out a "hmm" from his nose, and said angrily, "I don't dare to be an official."

Xu Yu stopped and didn't dare to get up.

However, his status is extraordinary, Qi Zhuo is leaving home soon, and he doesn't know what relationship his son has with Mr. Xu, so he can only hold back for now, "Come with me."

Xu Yu responded and quickly followed.

Qi Yuan looked worried, and followed behind anxiously. After only two steps, Qi Zhuo suddenly turned his head and shouted angrily, "How decent! Go back!"

Qi Yuan: "..."

Qi Yuan was taken aback, but he also knew that Qi Zhuo was angry at this time.He only raised his eyes to look at Xu Xuan, if Xu Xuan hesitated a bit, he would have to watch even if he was beaten by Lao Tzu.

How could Xu Yu not know what he was thinking, she shook her head slightly, then took advantage of Qi Zhuo's turning around, covered it with her sleeve, and stuffed a small object into Qi Yuan's hand.

Qi Yuan shook it, feeling like a wooden pony, so he was comforted.The time he raised his head again, Xu Yu had already followed Qi Zhuo away in great strides.

Watching the two of them leave, Qi Yuan felt worried, and immediately sent a servant to investigate the situation, and if there were any abnormal sounds, he asked the servant to report to him immediately.

He was not at ease when the boy went to one, so he asked Hufu to follow.After half of the people in the courtyard were sent out, Qi Yuan finally calmed down a little, and went back to the house clutching the small things in his hand.

That little thing is indeed a pony, the size of a palm, and what's amazing is that its appearance and demeanor are exactly the same as Qi Yuan's silver pony, with big beautiful eyes full of cunning.

Xu Yu must have been very busy these days, so she probably didn't have time to carve this one. She probably bumped into it somewhere while on business, so she thought of bringing it back for him.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan sighed even more.Originally, Qi Zhuo had dispelled his worries in the past two days.Qi Zhuo came here today, just to tell Qi Yuan that he is leaving Beijing again, and let him stay at home to take care of his mother and sister, and concentrate on studying the Tao.

Qi Yuan just wrote a letter to Uncle Xiu in Yangzhou, telling him that his father is not dead, now that he heard that Qi Zhuo was going to fight again, he couldn't help but ask, could he not go?

Who would have thought that just such a sentence would make Qi Zhuo angry and scold him bloody.Qi Yuan endured it at first, but later Qi Zhuo acted like the head of the family and taught him the filial piety of his ancestors, blaming Qi Yuan for not knowing the seriousness of the matter, making a big disturbance in the Shouhe Hall and so on.

After all, Qi Yuan was young and energetic, and when he heard about filial piety, he couldn't help but talk back, and told about the actions of the younger and younger Cai's in the past two years, and then he became more and more angry, jumping up and down and scolding the Qi family's ancestors for their lack of virtue, and their grandchildren for their incompetence , which only caused Mr. Peng to struggle in the backyard and suffer all day long.

He also said that since Qi Zhuo is going to fight, his eldest brother is like a father, and Yun Lan and Ji Li will choose their in-laws after the ceremony, so they must not choose Yun Yun like Qi Mansion.

Qi Zhuo was so angry that he almost suffocated like Emperor Yuan Zhao.In the end the teacup also fell, but he was not willing to make a move on Qi Yuan, and scolded Qi Yuan to the corridor.

How could it be such a coincidence that Xu Yu slipped in through the back door and hugged Qi Yuan without saying a word...

Qi Yuan sighed, wiped the little wooden horse with a soft cloth, took out a box from the bedside, opened it with the lock, put the little wooden horse and fine puppet together, and put them away.I thought Uncle Zhongyuan was really angry now. When he came back, his son didn't understand poetry and books, and he learned to talk back and scold others.

I too, I knew that I should bear it, imitating Boxiu's appearance and pretending to be a good son for a few days, now that Qi Zhuo is going to fight, I am so worried, will he let him worry about his family, so that he is distracted and worried ?

Qi Zhuo's trip was dangerous, just now Qi Yuan only cared about getting angry, now thinking about Qi Zhuo's confession, everything seems to be like last words.

He calmed down now, and he also began to regret, stretching his head to look out.

The servant who was sent out did not come back to report the news, Qi Yuan was afraid that Xu Wei would be embarrassed, so he simply sent all the people in the courtyard to pass the news here again and again.

This wait is two hours past.The servants and maids couldn't find any useful news, Qi Zhuo's study was behind his bedroom, now Qi Zhuo even locked the yard, Qi Yuan sent someone to find the dog hole, but the dog hole was also blocked.

Qi Yuan: "..."

Qi Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought that in just a few days, Qi Zhuo knew himself well enough, or maybe this person had been fighting outside for two years and was just used to acting cautiously.

There was nothing he could do now, he was sitting dryly and anxious, he simply fiddled with the wooden fish toy sent by Yangzhou, knocked it up and down to relieve his boredom, and began to wonder whether he should tell Qi Zhuo that his real son was still alive?

The sky is getting dark and the golden wind is blowing.

Qi Zhuo came back with a tired face, and when he entered the room, he saw Qi Yuan knocking on the wooden fish, and then he became angry again, his beard almost straightened.

During these two hours, Qi Yuan thought about it many times, and when he saw him coming in, he smiled and shouted: "Father!"

Qi Zhuo held back his anger and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Yuan said: "Pray for brother Zijing. Dad, you have been in the southwest for two years. You are brave and powerful, and if you punch brother Zijing, you will be beaten to the ground. I want to write a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, but copying words If you're too tired, just knock on the wooden fish."

Qi Zhuo was so dumbfounded that he almost laughed out of anger.

"If I hadn't wanted to leave Beijing, I would have locked you up in the ancestral hall this time, and the family law will take care of you!" Qi Zhuo was annoyed and annoyed, "It's just outrageous, where are all the etiquettes taught to you by the master? engage in child molestation..."

"Didn't everything you taught me, sir, be washed away by the flood?" Qi Yuan cheekily leaned forward with a playful smile, took Qi Zhuo's arm and pressed him on the seat, "Father, calm down first, I'll wash it up for you." You can scold me after tea."

Qi Zhuo: "..."

Qi Zhuo had never been so close to his son before, Qi Yuan was smiling and courting him, he was not used to it for a while, but he forgot to get angry.

Qi Yuan took out some balls of tea cakes from Miss Wanjun from the cupboard, and sent people to fetch water, while he himself washed and warmed the cups, roasted and ground the tea.

Qi Zhuo reacted and said angrily, "When are you still drinking tea?!"

"It's just Xu time," Qi Yuan said, "It will be fine in a while, Dad, you can't drink tea in the southwest, right?"

Qi Zhuo: "..."

Is this the time to discuss tea?

Qi Zhuo has been troubled both internally and externally these past few days, uneasy at home, and injustice outside. He just called Xu Yu to teach him a lesson, but Xu Yu saw the sand table on his table and talked to him about the trip to the Southwest. The strategy of seizing soldiers.

Qi Zhuo heard from Xu Ying more than once that the third brother Xu Wei was superior to the two elder brothers in terms of knowledge, vision, and military strategy.He already admired Xu Ying very much, and he was taken care of by Xu Ying several times in the army, he was already grateful, but now seeing that Xu Ying really has extraordinary knowledge, how could he bother to blame him for his private affairs with Qi Yuan.

After talking about the political affairs, Xu Xuan took the initiative to lift up her robe, went to the bottom of the steps and bowed in a dignified manner, talking about Qi Yuan...

No matter how much Qi Zhuo cherishes his talent, it is impossible for him to agree to his son to have sex with others.I had no choice but to refuse indifferently and let people see off the guests.However, he had to ask about this matter, the joint was still on his son, he thought about it for a long time, and then came back to look for Qi Yuan again.

In the end, Qi Yuan made tea for him here?

Qi Zhuo took a deep breath, and cut straight to the point: "I'm leaving Beijing early tomorrow morning. At home, you are like a father, and your responsibilities are like mountains. I'll tell you a few things, so don't interrupt me."

Hufu brought in the small stove and teapot and lit them up.

Qi Yuan then baked the tea cakes to give them an aroma, wrapped them in clean paper, crushed them, and sifted out the fine powder, with a serious expression on his face: "Do you want to hand over the uncle's mansion to me?"

Qi Zhuo snorted coldly: "You are so unmotivated now, if you didn't have no elder brothers, this uncle's mansion would definitely not be in your hands."

Qi Yuan lowered his eyes, hummed, but said: "If Father hands over the uncle's residence to me, I won't be able to protect it."

Qi Zhuo was taken aback.

"I was wrong today, I shouldn't talk back to dad. But dad also knows that grandma is a human being, and your journey to the southwest is dangerous this time. Cai's mansion is coveting the uncle's mansion's iron coupons, so there may be troubles." Qi Yuan said, "I don't have any skills now. I can only make some fragrances, so I plan to run a fragrance shop seriously. Regardless of other things, I will take good care of my mother and sister."

"It's good to be able to take good care of your loved ones, and I don't care about other things." Qi Zhuo sighed, suddenly reacted, and frowned, "It's just that running a shop is a low-level one. Are you still going to be a merchant in your life? The right way is to be an official in the imperial examination !"

Qi Yuan: "What if I can't get out?"

Qi Zhuo: "You have been admitted as a scholar since you were ten years old, and now you treat yourself as a blank slate, and it only takes ten years to learn from scratch!"

The water in the pot was boiling, Qi Yuan picked up the pot and poured the boiling water into the teacup, stirred it a few times with a small spoon, and handed it to Qi Zhuo: "When I was ten years old, I couldn't read, I only knew how to share tea."

Qi Zhuo frowned, and then saw the tea oil in the teacup in front of him thickly floating up, layer upon layer, falling up and down, which was impressively the Dushui River terrain he had drawn on the sand table.

"This is..." Qi Zhuo was shocked and speechless. He had also heard about the tea-sharing technique. It was originally an elegant thing played by the nobles of Song Shixun, but it has long since fallen. Qi Yuan didn't like tea since he was a child. How did you learn to drink?

Qi Yuan put the teacup in front of him, raised his breath, and stirred it with a tea spoon.

Qi Zhuo picked up the teacup in surprise, and saw a sentence floating on the dropped tea soup: "An official is always available."

Qi Zhuo: "..."

Qi Yuan said: "When I was ten years old, a wandering Taoist priest came to my house and taught me how to divide tea."

Sitting upright with his eyes down, he twirled his fingers around his wrists, and finished ordering the other three bowls in a calm manner. The patterns were like warships flying across, or like military horses neighing, and the cold river shining.However, the image disappeared in an instant, followed by three plain words.

Qi Zhuo leaned forward and murmured: "...the supervisors are walking all over the place, and half of the officials in the court are Caimen dogs."

Qi Zhuo: "!!"

"Presumptuous!" Qi Zhuo said angrily, "Is this something you can say casually?"

Qi Yuan was taken aback by the yelling, but then he smiled and said, "I don't dare to say it, so I'll just complain to my father. In this world, what does being an official depend on?"

Qi Zhuo was so angry that his beard shook and he looked at him.

"It's relationships, money, face, luck, and a little bit of talent." Qi Yuan snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "What about studying and seeking scriptures, for the people of the world. Is the emperor most worried about the people of Li? No, he just Thinking that the throne is passed on from one hand to another in the family, and generations can enjoy the beauty of the palace, the essence of food, the service of slaves, and the fear of the officials. Therefore, what is more important than the common people is that the throne cannot be left behind by foreign ministers with different surnames. To be an official in the court is to be mediocre. No disturbance, only capable ministers and generals will be feared."

"Why do you think so?" Qi Zhuo was shocked at first, but after hearing the resentment in the last few sentences, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Father knows that you have been wronged all these years, and you are worried all day long."

"No." Qi Yuan stood up from the side, straightened his clothes, and knelt down on the ground, "Father, it's Brother Boxiu who was wronged. I've always disliked courtiers, so I never wanted to join court."

Qi Zhuo looked at him, squinted his eyes slightly, and couldn't help taking a deep breath.

"What do you mean?" Qi Zhuo asked in a deep voice, "Who is Brother Boxiu?"

Qi Yuan said: "Brother Boxiu is the original Qi Yuan, your son."

After he finished speaking, he paused, raised his head, looked at Qi Zhuo and said, "I'm not your son. It's a long story. I was originally the young master of Qi Mansion in Yangzhou, named Qi Yuan. I was murdered when I went out to play in February this year. He lost his life. After waking up, he occupied Brother Qi Yuan’s body. And Brother Qi Yuan was on my body. He is now the young son of Yangzhou, and he took the word "Boxiu" himself. So I called He is Brother Boxiu."

Qi Zhuo stared at him in astonishment.

Qi Yuan finished speaking in one breath, thought for a while and felt that what he said was quite clear, and said: "We have changed bodies, but now we can't go back to our respective homes, so we have to do this first."

"You mean..." Qi Zhuo asked after a while, "Aren't you Yuan'er?"

Qi Yuan nodded.

Qi Zhuo took a deep breath, and stood up silently, but the soles of his feet swelled a little, and his sleeves almost swept off the teacup.

After he stood up, he didn't seem to know what to do, he kept pacing back and forth, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Qi Yuan said: "I used to be a prodigal son at home, so I didn't learn the Four Books. The reason I know how to make incense is also because it is my ancestral incense spectrum. I thought about going back to Yangzhou, but when I arrived at Tongzhou Station, I was rejected. Luo Yi from the Military Division was caught. By the way, Luo Yi wants to marry Yun Lan..."

"Marry Yunlan?" Qi Zhuo finally had a reaction, and said angrily, "Where did you come from! Yunlan hasn't reached Ji, how did he know him!"

But what Qi Yuan said was right with what Xu Xuan said.Xu Yu confessed today that he met Qi Yuan at Tongzhou station, the latter was going to Yangzhou at that time, but she refused, so she ate and lived with him for a few days, and gradually fell in love with him.

Qi Zhuo thought at the time, what is Yuan'er going to Yangzhou for?

Qi Yuan said: "When I was arrested and sent to the prison, I was afraid that if the fact of your betrayal to the enemy was confirmed, you would be ransacked and killed by the whole family, so I secretly sent Yun Lan out of Beijing. Luo Yi is the one who helped Yun Lan get out of the city."

At this time, he still did not forget to speak for Luo Yi.How could Qi Zhuo fail to hear the tendency in his mouth, so he could only snort.

Although this matter was too unimaginable, Qi Zhuo was not without suspicion.One must know that the Qi Yuan two years ago was quite different from what he is now.

At first, he suspected that someone else came here pretending to be Yuan'er, but when he asked Mrs. Peng a few times, the latter insisted that Qi Yuan was with them all the time, but that was the case after falling into the water, and Qi Yuan was always protecting their mother. Daughter, when she entered the prison, she was also ready to die, so Qi Zhuo had to reluctantly accept it.

Now that Qi Yuan explained it this way, he felt a little more normal.

After all, these two children have completely different temperaments.

"Is there any evidence for this matter?" Qi Zhuo was still a little dazed about the matter involving ghosts, so he turned around and asked.

Qi Yuan frowned, and suddenly thought of Bo Xiu's letter this time and the two books he sent last time.He read all the previous letters and burned them, but this time, he forgot to burn them in order to question Xu Wei and kept them.

"This matter is confidential, neither of us dare to tell others, so there are not many evidences." Qi Yuan hurriedly stood up, ran to find two books carefully put away under the bed.

Qi Zhuo's expression changed drastically when he saw "The World's Water and Land Journey".

"This book, this book... I only showed you once."

Qi Zhuo reached out to take it, but his hand was shaking non-stop. When he opened it, he saw his son's familiar handwriting inside, completely different from Qi Yuan's tuan tuan.I couldn't help but burst into tears, and immediately fell down.

Qi Zhuo hurriedly turned his back.

Qi Yuan pretended he didn't see it, and when he calmed down a bit, he handed him the letter from last time.

However, Qi Zhuo became angry as soon as he opened it.

"What kind of dignity!" Qi Zhuo stared, his face flushed with anger, "What kind of marriage words, it's just nonsense!"

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered the beginning of this letter, his face turned red with a "boom", and he was about to snatch it: "You, you can just read the back, give me the first one..."

Qi Zhuo turned around holding the letter, avoiding him, and continued to look down while scolding him.

Qi Yuan jumped up to grab it, but he was not as tall as him, so he had to give up.

Qi Yuan: "..."

He could see Qi Zhuo raising his sleeves to wipe his tears from time to time, and his heart suddenly felt sour.

Boxiu wrote a lot in his last letter. After teasing him and Xu Wei, he asked him how he read the two books.If you are interested in these customs, you can find a certain book at home.

Qi Yuan didn't want to read the characters at all, so he didn't look for them all the time, but Qi Zhuo was clear about these things.

Later, Bo Xiu lamented that he admired Brother Feng Zhou very much. He was lonely and arrogant when he was young, and he had no friends in Beijing.Later, he stayed behind closed doors in the mansion, and was even more lonely, so that he talked less and less day by day, and sometimes he didn't speak a word to anyone for a month.

However, Fengzhou can afford food in both places, and when he just woke up, many friends came to visit him in Qi's mansion.Now that he is working in Yangzhou, those people have also helped a lot.

The tedious chatter is all the words of a confidant.

Qi Zhuo suppressed his emotions, and stopped for a long time after watching, the ground under his feet was slightly wet.

The room was quiet for a long time.

Qi Yuan said: "Bo Xiu wrote a few letters before, and we were afraid that others would know, so we burned them...I silenced the first letter."

Qi Zhuo turned around, and as a result, he wrote two lumpy characters with no bones.

"Brother Feng Zhou kisses

A few days in Yangzhou is like a dream...

...A few months ago, an accident happened unexpectedly, and it involved all of you, so that you and your father and son were far away from each other, and they would never see each other... A certain man now lives alone in a leisurely place, but he is tired of taking care of his relatives, and his tears are beyond words. ...However, the Qi Mansion is troubled in the autumn... fearing that all the relatives in the Qi Mansion will be affected, so we have to temporarily reject the hope of returning to the north..."

"I was in the prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate when I received the letter, so I read it many times before I was willing to burn it." Qi Yuan laughed, "Brother Boxiu is really talented in writing, I almost didn't understand it the first time."

Qi Zhuo raised his head, stared at Qi Yuan in a daze, and suddenly strode over and bowed to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was taken aback.

"Impossible!" Qi Yuan held him up dumbfounded, "Now I'm still your son, this will kill my life!"

After Qi Zhuo bowed deeply, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qi's great kindness to the uncle's house, Qi Zhuo will never forget it."

"Don't...just treat yourself like an extra son." Qi Yuan laughed, "Father!"

He lost his shape when he started laughing, and said again: "Brother Boxiu is very appreciated by Jiangsu and Zhejiang students, and he will definitely be an official in Beijing in the future. You will have two sons in the future."

Unconsciously, Qi Zhuo was also infected by him, wiped the corners of his eyes vigorously, and also gave a "hmm" with a smile.

"Since you are willing to call me Sheng Daddy," Qi Zhuo said solemnly again, "then you have to remember, I absolutely forbid you to do that kind of child molestation."

Qi Yuan: "..."

Qi Yuan became short of breath, and said in a low voice: "Xu Zijing and I are not child molesters, and we promise each other for life."

"Nonsense, why promise each other for life!" Qi Zhuo raised his eyebrows upside down, "You two are young and energetic, and you can say anything nicely. After a few years, if the Xu family changes their minds, he will have his father who is the Duke of the country. The big brother's brother is going to arrange a marriage! What about you?"

Qi Yuan had never thought about this before, and his heart was shocked.

"I still have you." Qi Yuan argued forcefully, "At worst, I'll look for it too!"

Qi Zhuo looked at him: "If I don't come back! It's dangerous enough to go to Yachuan this time, and when I return to the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. If I don't come back, who can support you!"

When Qi Yuan was asked, he was startled.

Seeing his clear eyes, innocent and cute, Qi Zhuo waved his hands and said, "Anyway, I don't agree with this matter. Unless the government of another country dares to hire three matchmakers."

Qi Yuan stared wide-eyed: "??"

"On the contrary," Qi Zhuo reacted again, and said, "Unless the government of another country agrees, we will marry Xu Zijing into the mansion, and we will be our Qi family from now on."

Qi Zhuo blew his beard and stared, and said with a final word, "That's it! You can ask him tomorrow if he agrees!"

But whether Xu Yu is willing or not, he doesn't know.As soon as the city gate is opened tomorrow, he will leave the city with the secret order and go straight to Yachuan.

"Also." Qi Zhuo walked back and forth twice, and said again, "Now that the lord is succeeding, the imperial certificate is the most important thing. I will entrust the iron certificate to you for safekeeping, and then I will write a memorial. Please make you the prince. In this way, I In case anything happens, you still have a bodyguard..."

"...Father." Qi Yuan's eyes turned hot, and he fell down on his knees, "Take care! Boy and Boxiu... are waiting for Dad to win!"

On the second day, before dawn, Qi Zhuo took his pack and led the horse out of the uncle's mansion.He was afraid of leaking the news, so he didn't tell Mrs. Peng.So only Qi Yuan sent him off.

Qi Yuan sent Qi Zhuo to the intersection, and kowtowed three times on the spot.

Qi Zhuo straddled the horse and looked back at him deeply, as if looking at someone else.But with just one glance, Qi Zhuo turned his head and galloped out of the city.

Almost at the same time, the three drums in the palace sounded, and all the civil and military officials waiting for the court filed into Fengtian Gate to meet the Prince Jian Guo.

A ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky, and a new round of red sun was about to emerge. Qi Yuan stood there for a long time, until the sky was bright, and then he let out a long breath and turned to go home.
