When the word "great-grandson" was mentioned, the eyes of the two aunts of the Gu family darkened.

Once upon a time, they had the opportunity to become grandmothers, but now, they can only live their lives guarding corpses and tablets, hoping that their husbands and sons can meet them in their dreams.

It’s quite sad to think about it.

The excitement only lasted for two days, so the family gathered together all the time, talking and laughing, but this night, Xing Zhao went out alone.

He had many brothers in Sui'an City. When they learned that he was leaving and returning to Jinling City, they naturally wanted to follow his instructions.

The leader was naturally the Third Son of the Yan Family. He had a straightforward personality, so he had many friends. He was also casual in his dealings with others, so everyone could get along well with him.

At the table, several people began to clink glasses.

It was rare to find someone who could drink as much as Fourth Aunt, so Xing Zhao, who was very quiet in front of Fourth Aunt, was actually a heavy drinker in front of his brothers.

He drank cup after cup of wine, but there was not much sign of drunkenness on his face.

While the others were still in the midst of the excitement, Sanlang of the Yan family came to the window with his arm around Xing Zhao and started talking.

"I don't know when you'll be back. Sigh, we brothers will be separated again."

"What are you afraid of? If I don't come, you can't go?"

"Do you think I'm willing to sit here and listen to my old man scolding me every day? Humph, from morning to night, from top to bottom, I haven't found any place that he likes."

Hearing Sanlang Yan's complaints, Xing Zhao thought of his mother.

The only difference between the two is that Marquis Weiyuan genuinely dislikes him, while Madam Xing is more disappointed in him.

Thinking of this, the two of them clinked their glasses and drank the bitter wine in their hands.

Compared with the Sanlang of the Yan family, Xing Zhao was more concerned about his family, so after drinking a lot of wine, he said to his brothers.

"It's useless to think too much. If you are really determined to do something in front of your father to let him see it, then don't delay it any longer. Look at my cousin. When he was our age, he had been struggling in Cezhou for many years."

The cousin Xing Zhao was referring to was naturally Shang Ji.

As a man who also wanted to join the army, Yan Jia Sanlang was naturally convinced. However, even though he had this dream, he was powerless.

In the beginning, he wanted to join the army and even went to the conscription office secretly. However, when Earl Weiyuan found out, he sent people to capture him and beat him up severely. The beating was so severe that his right arm was broken.

Although he was cured, only Sanlang Yan knew that the pain he felt every time it rained and blew meant that he would never have the chance to practice martial arts again in his life.

That's why he let things go like this. Since he couldn't do what he wanted to do, he would go against the father who harmed him and do anything to bring shame to him.

Xing Zhao was one of the few people who knew the inside story, so he sighed that this brother had ruined his own future for many years at such a young age because of a fit of anger. He always wished that he could find back the high-spirited Sanlang of the Yan family from many years ago.

There was a flash of pain in Yan Jia Sanlang's eyes, but he quickly digested it.

When he raised his eyes again, he had that cynical look on his face again, and said to Xing Zhao.

"You are a useless person, how can you talk about hard work? Let's not talk about this. Since you have this little time to persuade me, why don't you set up a party for me before you leave and ask Miss Gu to come out. She has rejected the invitation from the Earl's Mansion three times and refused to come out once."

Hearing what he said, Xing Zhao shook his head and said.

"Don't think about it. Lang'er is not your beloved. When I leave the day after tomorrow, I will take her and Third Aunt with me. There are thousands of mountains and rivers between us. Even if you two are deeply in love, it will be useless. What's more, she has no interest in you."

"She's leaving too? To avoid me?"

"Yan Shaoyi, you are too shameless. Why should I hide from you? They don't owe you any money. It's just that they have been out for long enough, so it's time for them to go back. I also want to go back, so it's safer to escort them together."

Hearing this, the expression on Yan Jia Sanlang's face became uncertain, and no one knew what he was thinking, and he suddenly fell silent.

Xing Zhao knew that there was no possibility for the two of them, especially at a time like this, so he couldn't bear to see his brother get caught up in it and reminded him.

"You should take a good look at the noble ladies in Sui'an City. After all, with your status, many women are trying their best to get close to you. Just choose the right one and live with it."

Hearing what he said, the third son of the Yan family snorted coldly and said.

"You are good at persuading people, but why don't you find a noble lady and live a decent life at your age?"

When this matter was suddenly mentioned, Xing Zhao looked a little uncomfortable, but it quickly disappeared and he looked at the Third Son of the Yan Family with a cold brow.

"Why are you talking about me?"

But Sanlang of the Yan family knew a lot of inside information, so he came up and asked.

"Still thinking about that person?"

Suddenly his secret was exposed. Xing Zhao became a little angry and embarrassed. He glared at him fiercely and said.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Don't try to flatter her here. She's already married and has a child now. Don't ruin her reputation."

"What are you afraid of? It's just marrying and having children. You can still get divorced. If you like her, you should pursue her. Why bother with these worldly prejudices? The two of you are destined to be together. Why do you have to play a sad drama with me?"

After hearing this, it was Xing Zhao's turn to remain silent.

Thinking of the past, his eyes were no longer as free and natural as they were in the general's mansion or in front of outsiders, but were filled with regret and sigh.

If time could go back four years, would he make the same choice? He was not sure, but the only thing he knew now was that she was doing well, so he should not bother her anymore.

Thinking of this, he drank another bowl of wine and said to Sanlang Yan.

"I won't go home until I'm drunk today!"

"drink!"

The night in Sui'an City was quiet, but there were more than one noisy place where noblemen like them were.

The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.

It's true that people have the same attitude in every dynasty, and there has been no change because of the curfew.

Of course, the Eastern Palace is also not subject to curfew.

Tonight, after the prince discussed some things with Prime Minister Guo and Mr. Wen, he walked out of the study room feeling a little tired.

Originally, he wanted to go see the Crown Princess, but was intercepted by Zong Liangdi on the way.

It was another night of revelry and music, causing unrest everywhere.

Early in the morning, before the Crown Princess got up, she heard the maid serving her say that the four concubines had all arrived and were waiting to pay their respects to her.

"In the past, they weren't so diligent, so what's the matter?"
