Taifu Lin looked at An Zhixian's thinner face and couldn't help but feel distressed and said:
"Forget about others, you kid has always behaved steadily, how could something like this happen when you were riding a horse and wrestling?"
An Zhixian smiled modestly and said, "Hey, as you know it, people make mistakes and horses make mistakes. You and the other adults usually think too highly of the juniors, and the juniors who praised you got carried away for a moment."
Pingyang Hou: "Huh? Did you hear that this young man is planning to blackmail us?"
Mr. Tang Ge stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am an old man, I can't do anything wrong."
Grand Master Yao: "What are you afraid of? Yan Qing usually praises the most. If you want to blackmail him, you should blackmail him first."
Lin Yanqing: "If you push me out first, you are really a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist."
After some joking, Marquis Pingyang asked An Zhixian and the others to go and talk on their own without being around.
Mr. Tang Ge also said: "You young people go and have fun, what are you doing to keep us old guys safe?"
An Zhixian stood up: "You adults are reminiscing about old times, just call me if you need anything."
Chu Chengping also stood up: "Okay, I'm disgusted. Let's go, Brother Zheng. Let's talk somewhere else. By the way, Master, why didn't Jin'an come today?"
Lin Yanqing smiled and said: "Jin'an has been studying hard these years and rarely goes out to play. He has never played many things. Recently, he suddenly became obsessed with listening to operas and went to listen to operas with the son-in-law of Wang Shilang of the Ministry of Rites."
An Zhixian led the two of them to the study and sat down. They went out for a while before returning to the study.
Zheng Xiangheng: "I really envy these adults. We have been friends with each other since we were young. Now, we are comfortable and comfortable and can joke with each other without restraint. When I reach this age, I still have such close friends, which is a comfort for my whole life."
Chu Chengping: "It's not difficult to say. The age when my grandfather and I got acquainted with each other should not be much different from ours now. Brother Zheng has made close friends from now on, and we will keep going back and forth."
An Zhixian made the tea smoothly and poured it for the two of them:
"Good tea is easy to come by, but a close friend is hard to find. Especially in this capital, with the two of you having such status, it is difficult to determine the purpose of making friends with you and whether they are sincere."
Chu Chengping nodded seriously, then smiled again after a moment:
"I can't guarantee to others that Brother An will be my confidant until my old age."
Lin Yanqing and others were talking when Yanshu knocked on the door and came in. He told An Zhixian to pass on the message and came to serve tea.
Taishi Yao: "This child is indeed attentive. When I look at your grandson, he seems to like this child Zhixian very much and often follows him around."
Marquis Pingyang: "Not only Ping'er, but also Si Nian and the youngest son of Prince Xiang's family also admire this young man."
Taishi Yao's eyes were full of nostalgia, and his tone was also tinged with loneliness:
"When these three boys were young, they loved to follow Xiao Qi's son... So many years have passed in a flash. If Xiao Qi's son is still here, he will be an adult..."
As soon as the words fell, a needle could be heard in the room, and Lin Yanqing and the three of them were silent.
After a long time, Mr. Tang Ge stood up and sat near Marquis Pingyang, breaking the silence with a voice:
"Send all the juniors away and just say what you have to say."
Marquis Pingyang raised his eyes, glanced at Taishi Yao's calm face, and then said:
"I know you pity the younger generation and cherish the talented people, but that Zheng Xiangheng, you can coax him in such a short time, and it doesn't seem like a simple thing to bring him here to meet us. Once or twice is a coincidence, but it can be done again and again. If you can sit still, you either really have no desires or desires, or you have great desires..."
