There are many interesting things in Chang'an City, especially Xiaoyaozi of the Yan family.

The Yan family has a son, the nephew of Yan Shigu, named Yan Wuyou. He is the grandson of Yan Shigu's second uncle. He is a gambler, does not like literature, and does not like facial expressions.

Yan Shigu was angry that he didn't fight, and then he let it go.

But in the past few days, there have been rumors in Chang'an City that Yan Wuyou went to a brothel, but he did not lose the money.

This has simply brought shame to the Yan family. If it were in the past, Yan Shigu would have severely reprimanded Yan Wuyou, but at this stage, the Yan family is at odds with the Qin and Chai families, and was even punished by His Majesty.

"It must be them, the mighty Duke of the Tang Dynasty, why do you act like this?"

Yan Shigu was really angry, so he ordered someone to prepare a car and go to the Yiguo Duke's Mansion to ask what he meant.

"Master Yan, my master said that we won't see any guests today!"

"snort!"

After leaving, Yan Shigu rushed to Huo Guogong's consort's house. Unexpectedly, the servants in the consort's house looked even more ugly and did not want to pay attention to him at all.

I was so angry! Yan Shigu had no choice but to call Yan Wuyou home and scold him severely.

Yan Wuyou lowered his head and endured it silently.

"Wuyou, do you know where the scandal about you in Chang'an today came from?"

Yan Wuyou smiled bitterly, "Uncle, don't talk about your nephew again. In fact, uncle, you know very well that this is just an unjust disaster for your nephew. How unjust."

"Wouyou, do you hate it?"

"Hate? No hate! The Yan family needs a prodigal, otherwise the Yan family will be in danger."

Yan Shigu stood up in shock, "Wuyou, what do you mean?"

Yan Wuyou smiled bitterly and said, "Can Your Majesty feel relieved about a family that has no handle? On the other hand, my uncle and nephew pity the last guy who suffered such rumors. I wonder if my uncle can recommend Wuyou?"

Yan Shigu fell silent immediately, and then slapped his face with a palm: "I am confused, Wuyou, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

Yan Wuyou asked, "Uncle, how do you want this matter to end?"

"Oh? Wuyou, what do you mean?"

"There are two ways. The first is for uncle to go again!"

"Nonsense, how can I bow my head to that kid?"

"The second way is even simpler, kill that kid!"

Yan Shigu frowned, "Wouyou, isn't this a deadly feud?"

Yan Wuyou saluted respectfully, then smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, is there a third way?"

It's just a matter of face that it's called easing relations. Judging from His Majesty's attitude today, he is more biased towards Qin Qiong and Chai Shao.

One is to put down one's dignity, and the other is that the Yan family must not offend.

"Uncle, don't forget the Yan family motto! What did our ancestors say when they were still alive?"

Yan Shigu suddenly trembled. The ancestor Yan Zhitui established the "Yan Family Instructions" to teach future generations from all aspects of body, behavior, mind, intelligence, and virtue, so that they can understand clearly what Confucianism is and what a human being is.

What a home!

Yan Shigu smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that my reputation in this life will be ruined."

Yan Wuyou had already left. Yan Shigu, who was sitting alone in the hall, thought a lot and hesitated before sitting down and making a decision.

"It seems that I still have to go there again!"

I examine myself three times every day. I feel guilty. I care about a little boy. I have lost my status as a great scholar!

Etiquette, justice and integrity are passed down from generation to generation; dedication to duty makes the country as solid as a rock; respecting the old and loving the young leads to fame in the prosperous times...

The more he thought about it, the more Yan Shigu felt guilty for the child. He couldn't restrain his anxiety about staying in the house, and went to Xiaofangzhuang for the third time.

On the way, he had been thinking about how to reach reconciliation with that Fang Chen.

As for accepting a disciple? Let's forget it. After all, this kid has made it clear that he doesn't want to become a disciple. If he persists in doing so, I'm afraid he will be in trouble later.

Fang Chen was sitting at home, and the old man came from outside.

Hearing the report from his subordinates, he was very surprised. Why is Yan Shigu here again?

When they went out to greet him, Fang Chen had a very strange expression on his face. Why did he come here to scold him to vent his anger? Forget it, he seemed to have gone a little too far last time. This kind of joke was made on officials of the Tang Dynasty, even if Qin Qiong and Chai Shao protected him.

, is also a big problem.

"I didn't know that the boss was coming, so I missed you from afar. I hope you will forgive me."

"No need, I still have to apologize to you."

Fang Chen was very surprised, "What do you mean, sir?"

Yan Shigu said with a smile: "The two rumors in the past few days were both related to me. It was my fault in virtue that led to what happened next. You kid, don't pretend to be confused!"

Fang Chen was extremely shocked. In fact, his main consideration was to avoid contact with the Tang Dynasty and the court, so he did not consider the consequences of doing these things, but he did not expect that Master Yan Shigu would be so open-minded.

"My lord, I can't help you. If you like me, you can come into the mansion and have a cup of tea."

Master Yan stroked his beard and smiled, "Very good."

Twice! He didn't even get through the door twice. Yan Shigu was still questioning whether this kid really doesn't know how to treat others?

Now it seems that I am still short-sighted.

An old man and a young man walked into the mansion together, and the servants began to get busy in a hurry.

Master Yu said that he would ask the chef to put in some effort and cook a delicious meal today as compensation for Mr. Yan.

Entering the main hall, he knelt down across from the table, and Xuan Yi was arranged by Aunt Liu to serve him tea.

Fang Chen was not used to drinking cinnamon tea, so he had to collect some tea leaves and let his men fry them. It took two days to succeed, and he kept them to wait for others to use in the future.

"Sir, please!"

Following Aunt Liu, Fang Chen also learned some Tang Dynasty etiquette, so he would not make a fool of himself.

Yan Shigu felt a little uncomfortable. Is this tea? Where is cinnamon? Where is star anise?

He twitched the corners of his eyes and picked up the cup of light yellow water. Could it be that this kid hasn't relieved himself yet?

Forget it, of course you have to bear the sins you have committed and pour it into your mouth.

"Huh?" It was not as unpleasant as he imagined. Instead, it had a faint sweetness, very little bitterness, and a rich aroma, which made him couldn't help but take a second look.

"This tea?"

Fang Chen smiled and said, "I have lived a hard life since I was a child. I am not used to drinking good tea, so I can only make some to satisfy myself. If you don't like it, I can arrange for someone to make tea for you again."

Yan Shigu waved his hand, "No need, this tea is very good!"

After another drink, a servant brought in some refreshments, most of which were made from glutinous rice flour and filled with sugar fillings. When you bite them off, they are soft, glutinous, delicious, and not sticky to your teeth.

Yan Shigu thought to himself that he really came to the right place. Just with this tea and these snacks, he was able to make up for his loss.

After a few simple chats, the relationship between the two changed from stiff to close.

Confucianism emphasizes benevolence, forgiveness, sincerity, and filial piety. After the last grudge between him and Fang Chen disappeared, Yan Shigu and Fang Chen became more and more interested in each other.

Why? It can only be said that Fang Chen wanted to compensate the old man from the bottom of his heart. After all, Aunt Liu had already told him the news that His Majesty had given him ten sticks in the court.

It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies, so Fang Chen tried his best to follow the other party's words in the conversation.

Yan Shigu was very happy. He first stopped serving Fang Chen tea. After drinking it, he felt flushed. Then he asked: "Fang Chen, I'm asking you, can I call you Chen'er?"

"Of course, I'm very honored."

"Chen'er, why did you treat me like that before?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Fang Chen's face, and then he smiled bitterly and said: "It's just a floating object, how dare you go into the deep sea!"

Yan Shigu sighed, how could he not understand this? Once entering the court hall, it was as deep as the sea.

"Chen'er, I'm afraid you are the hardest one to escape from this whirlpool!"
