Chosen Son

Chapter 23 Laziness

Gu Fan always felt that eight years was a long time, but when he really came to eight years, he felt that the previous time was just a flash.

The original child who was so lawless and under his control didn't change his moral character after he grew up, and became a little arrogant and arrogant, but his morals improved a lot. He is young, but he thinks he has learned a lot, and dares to use ancient and modern allusions to run on him, probably to avenge the bullying that he was often bullied when he was young.Sometimes Gu Fan felt too lazy to argue with him, and sometimes he couldn't swallow that breath because of the remaining three-pointed boyish character, so he couldn't help but babble with him, but there was no result. The debate ended without a problem, and he felt that his liver hurt with anger, but after this back and forth, the relationship between the two of them got better and better.

On this day, the little bastard came to look for him again after he had nothing to do. Since Yang Zheng grew up, the two lived in the same yard, and the distance was still relatively far, but he came here much more diligently than before. Pan looked tired and flustered for him.

He closed the open book on his face, and said in a weak voice, "what——what—why? Let me accompany you to see the crickets or sneak out to the fair, I will tell you both. Don't do it, you are fine young master of the Yang family, but I have something to do, the look in your father's eyes almost scared me to tears that day."

Yang Zheng didn't give him any face at all, ignored all his complaints, tore off his book, and looked at him excitedly with a pair of bright eyes: "Sir, what do you think of Ms. Tian?"

Gu Fan thought about it for a while: "Miss Tian... is beautiful, generous, lively and cute. Although I haven't met her formally, I have heard that she is a well-known lady. The threshold was broken, what happened?"

Because of his remaining conscience, he swallowed the phrase "Are you going to be a matchmaker for me?" embarrassingly.

People can be dishonest once in a while, but they can't be shameless for a long time, that's called hooliganism.

"I think so too." Probably having got the answer he wanted, Yang Zheng's voice was a little flattered, "I heard that my father intends to propose marriage to the Tian family, and the Tian family also agrees." Speaking of this, he seems to be Thinking of something, I quickly went back and added a sentence, "It's just something that hasn't been written yet, sir, please don't say it, or it will damage the reputation of other girls."

...The young man is quite careful.

"You've already said that, I think the horoscope is about to be left behind. Congratulations, brat, it would be better for other girls if you really become a girl." Although Gu Fan looked at his happy face, he didn't like it, but at any rate It was a rare and good marriage under the feudal marriage system, and I still wished him sincerely.

"Of course." Yang Zheng said proudly, "We have played together since childhood."

Gu Fan smiled, turned a page of the book, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "How is your mother's illness recently?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Yang Zheng's face collapsed.

"The situation is not very good." He frowned and said with some distress, "The weather has turned cold recently, she felt a little better that day, so she sat in the porch for a long time, and finally caught a cold again, and invited the doctor to treat her. I have been lying down and resting these days, when I went to see her before, I felt that her face was very pale and her energy was not very good."

Gu Fan let out a "huh" and said: "If you have time, go and spend time with her. At least there are a few young ladies at Da Furen's who can talk and laugh from time to time. Your mother is the only one, so it's strangely lonely."

"Where is it?" Yang Zheng kicked the pebbles on the ground, feeling a little resentful, "I went ten times, eight times I would bump into my dad there, and it's fine if he bumps into me, he still bullies me all day long." The one with raised eyebrows and raised eyes, after staying for a while, he slammed me to go to school, and my mother helped him talk about me."

"Your father and mother are looking forward to your success." Gu Fanle said, "Also, at least you are going to get married, so sometimes you should learn to read your words."

"Sir, you can also help them tell me whether there is still a mentor-student relationship." Yang Zheng muttered.

"Yes, why not." Gu Fan put away the book and slapped him on the forehead, "Now as a teacher, you have to fulfill your duties as a teacher. Have you read all the books you should read, and the strategies you should write? Have you written it all, how many days until the exam? Huh?"

Yang Zheng was taken a step back by him, showing a flattering smile: "...Sir, I'll go first, and I suddenly remembered that my father called me for something."

Before the words finished, the person was almost at the door, Gu Fan waved to him, motioning for him to kneel down, and he ran away without a trace.

Bear boy, Gu Fan thought.

He lay back on the chair again, sighing somewhat melancholy.

After he was framed, he never heard the sound of the system. At first he felt quiet, but after a long time, especially when the eight-year period was approaching, he became more and more uneasy, always feeling that there was something big Zhao is holding back and waiting for him.

In the past eight years, nothing major has happened in Yang's residence, the only subtle thing is the change in the status of the two wives.

Yang An is an upright and upright person, and he can't tolerate half a grain of sand in his eyes. Therefore, during the long period of the frame-up incident, he rarely went to the lady's yard. He didn't have endless business affairs to deal with all the time. After going back and forth, he remembered his little concubine who had no sense of existence.Originally, he had never had a good impression of this concubine. He was narrow-minded, ignorant, and unable to look at people. He just went there a few times, but it was beyond his expectations.

Although she still doesn't look very smart, she can judge the situation a lot. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, she didn't say anything ignorant of current affairs. She just chatted with him about other topics, and her original temper restrained a lot. , even the tacky scent on his body disappeared, the more Yang An stayed there, the more comfortable he felt everywhere.In addition, she is Yang Zheng's own mother, so she took good care of her a lot.During this period of time, her health was getting worse and worse. Yang An saw it and was anxious in his heart. He invited the best doctor to come and treat her overnight, and came to see her whenever he was free. Discuss in private.In the past, the dignified and majestic eldest lady would find some faults to intentionally make things difficult for her, but she appeared to be more obedient on the surface, but Yang An couldn't see it, so she took the initiative to mention a few words to the eldest lady. It stopped.

Gu Fan knew that she had listened to his own words.

Everyone has his own destiny, wealth depends on heaven, success depends on people.Although birth can affect many things, it is one's own choice that ultimately determines one's destiny.

While he was thinking aimlessly, he lay with his eyes closed, and the drowsiness flooded him in. However, before he could completely fall into sleep, he heard some noisy voices from outside the courtyard.With his eyes closed, he couldn't sleep because of the noise, so he simply went to the door and pulled a maid who was passing by in a hurry. Coincidentally, the one who pulled was Yuchai who hurriedly asked him to save her back then.When Yuchai saw him, she was a little surprised: "Sir, is there something you want to do with your servant?"

"Did something happen? I see you are in a hurry." Gu Fan asked.

"Ah." Yuchai wiped off her sweat, "It seems that the second lady has something wrong, and they need manpower over there, so they sent some people there."

Gu Fan was a little surprised: "Didn't it mean that I just felt the wind and cold occasionally, why is it so serious all of a sudden?"

"The specific slaves are not there to serve, and I don't know very well. I just heard from the sister over there that the second lady has been in poor health for the past two years, and she has to drink medicine every now and then. The doctor can't find out what's wrong, just said that she is weak. Take rest." Yuchai said, "I don't know what happened today."

"Okay, then you go, I won't waste your time." Gu Fan said.

Yuchai smiled at him quickly, and ran away in a hurry.

It is inconvenient for him to participate in the affairs of the inner courtyard, all he can do is go back to the courtyard and wait for news, but lie down again, even if there is no noise, he can't fall asleep.

After lying tossed and turned for a while, he tried to call out the system that had been silent for eight years in his mind.

Unexpectedly, there was no reply, and his heart sank suddenly.

There are only two possible situations, first, the system is broken; second, it has not yet reached the point in time for it to appear.

If it is the first type, then he can already lie down and wait to die, if it is the second type...

He hoped it was better than what he thought was the worst.

The time to wait for the news was always long, until the evening, there was still no movement in the inner courtyard.Gu Fan couldn't hold back and walked around, only seeing servant girls coming in and out, everyone looked panicked, the door of the inner room was always closed except for going in and out, looking depressed and silent.Yang Zheng and Yang An were probably inside, and through the window, they could see the slightly flickering dim candlelight.

He looked at it for a while, and left here to avoid suspicion. He just sat in the gazebo in the small garden not far away, and had the right to "watch the scenery".

After all, the weather is about to enter autumn, and the temperature drops a lot at night.It just rained a few days ago, and the water in the pond swelled up, and it looked as if it was about to overflow to the shore. The lotus, which had bloomed for a whole summer, finally faded and turned into bleak dead branches, rustling in the wind Shaking tremblingly, looking a little desolate for no reason.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, he felt that his body was still a little chilly. Just when he wanted to get up and go back to the house, he heard an electric sound suddenly sounded in his mind, and his nerves tensed up in an instant.

"The system prompts that the task progress bar has reached 75%, please get ready."

At the same time, a familiar, heart-piercing cry suddenly came from the inner courtyard.

It's Yang Zheng.
