kill the immortal

Chapter 4 4, Yu Jingtang
An Yan, who waited quietly in the living room for a long time, finally heard footsteps approaching from far away.

"Is he in the living room?" It was a masculine male voice.

"Yes, the eldest lady has been waiting there for an hour since she brought it."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer until they reached the door of the living room. An Yan, who had been waiting for so long, was not as nervous as when he first came. He looked at the door, and saw a middle-aged man in a black narrow-sleeved round-neck robe, Around the waist is a jade belt decorated with gemstones of various colors, and on the head is a fringe. His face is cold and hard, giving people a sense of calm and prestige.

An Yan took his head and bowed: "People from Yanzhou, An Yan from Wangshan County, see Master Yu."

The middle-aged man stood still in the hall, and An Yan felt a gaze sizing him up.

"Who are you, An Guanglie?"

"It's my late father."

Yu Jingtang was stunned for a moment, and stood there for a short while in a daze, before sighing softly after a long time.

He walked to the main seat and sat down, and said, "You can sit too."

Only then did An Yan go to the side and sit down.

Yu Jingtang sighed and said with emotion: "I heard that an old man from Yanzhou came, so I guessed that it might be like this. Guanglie refused to come to Luoyang to see me until he died."

An Yan heard this, but thought in her heart, if I miss you so much, why don't I go to Yanzhou?

He took out the piece of jade, stood up and put his hands in front of Yu Jingtang.

"My late father left in a hurry and didn't leave any letters behind, only this token."

Yu Jingtang looked at the piece of jade in An Yan's hands, fell silent suddenly, and took it after a long time.

An Yan said again: "my late father asked me to sell my property and go to Luoyang with a token to find the largest Yu surname, but I didn't want to encounter bandits on the way. Although I escaped by chance, all my belongings were looted. Fortunately, I have been keeping this jade close to me, otherwise Master Yu might not be able to know the news of his late father."

Yu Jingtang was surprised when he heard that he met bandits: "Yanzhou is not peaceful either..."

Fu said again: "This journey is difficult. Your father and I are old friends. Before leaving, he entrusted you to me. You can call me uncle."

An Yan immediately kowtowed solemnly and said, "Nephew has seen uncle!"

Yu Jingtang nodded slightly, and sat there with one hand to support: "Nephew, please get up, and stay in this mansion from now on, you have been working hard all the way, it is getting late today, let's go to rest first, tomorrow you and my uncle and nephew Talk about the old days."

He called out: "Wang Gui."

The housekeeper who was over fifty years old who had talked with Yu Nian before came in.

"This is Wang Gui, the general manager of the mansion. You can come to him for any needs in the mansion."

An Yan saluted and said: "Thank you uncle, my nephew will leave."

With a respectful face, he slowly retreated towards the door.

And when An Yan retreated, Yu Jingtang's cold and hard face showed a bit of fatigue. He looked down at the white jade pendant in his hand, rubbed his thumb lightly on it, and his eyes looked sad.

"Night..."

An Yan is walking through the courtyard with the butler Wang Gui.

"Master An is new, the servants in the mansion may not know you, if someone accidentally bumps into you, even if you tell the old slave, the old slave will remind those boys when he goes down." Wang Gui said kindly With a smile, his posture was lowered again.

"I'm new here, and I will trouble Uncle Wang in the future."

On the face of Wang Gui, he was flattered and said: "But I can't afford this title. Young Master An is a nobleman, and this old slave is a servant. Don't hurt this old slave."

Seeing that he was frightened and did not seem to be fake, An Yan realized that the ancients had a deep concept of family status, but watching TV, the status of the rich butlers is quite high, and they can get along well with young masters and young ladies.

"Boss Wang." An Yancai changed the title.

Wang Gui humbly said: "Master An just call me Wang Gui."

An Yan said, "Could Manager Wang introduce the situation in the mansion to me? I'm so sure."

Although Yu's surname is not a common surname in the city, it is a noble surname, because he, Yu Jingtang, and Yu Jingtang's three brothers are all officials in the court, but the other two do not live in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yu Jingtang has only one under his knees. One son, now only 16 years old, is studying in Chang'an, and there is another daughter in the family, Yu Nian, who works in Xuanjiawei.

As for wives and concubines, Yu Jingtang currently only has one wife, the Jiang family, who is not his first wife.

An Yan thought of the beautiful woman she saw today.

Although the prime minister's mansion is large, there are only three real Yu family members, and most of the people living in the outer courtyard are some of Yu Jingtang's students.

"Director Wang, is there only one young lady in the prime minister's mansion?" An Yan asked after thinking about it.

Wang Gui paused suddenly: "What does Young Master An mean by this?"

"I heard that Miss Yu Nian has a sister above her."

Wang Gui's expression changed suddenly, and he asked, "Who did you hear, Young Master An?"

Seeing his big reaction, An Yan became even more puzzled. Because of the piece of jade, An Yan felt that Yu Wan should have some connection with her.

Wang Gui's expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Master An, I advise you, it's best not to mention that person in the mansion, otherwise he will be beheaded."

An Yan's face changed slightly, how could the daughter of a dignified prime minister not even be able to mention her name, and be guilty of beheading?
He became more and more puzzled, but he didn't continue to ask.

Wang Gui took An Yan to a separate courtyard: "Master An, there are two maidservants in the courtyard, one servant and one cook. This is the rule of the house. Just say it."

Wang Gui called all the servants together, and said in a lecture: "This is Xiangye's nephew, Master An Yan'an, you should take good care of him."

"Master An." The four asked politely.

An Yan took a brief look at them. The two maidservants were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they looked pretty good. The cook was an ordinary woman in her 30s, and the last servant was in her 20s. She looked like a smart and smart person. .

"Young Master An, let's settle for one day. Tomorrow, a tailor will come to measure your size and help you make some suitable clothes. I will pay you the monthly money first..."

Manager Wang made the arrangements very well, and An Yan didn't expect many details, so he listened carefully until Manager Wang finished his last sentence.

"Master An, please rest early, I will disturb you tomorrow."

"Boss Wang, go slowly."

Wang Gui left, this courtyard is not small, and there are some ornamental flowers and plants in the courtyard, it is definitely more than enough for An Yan to live alone.

He looked at the four servants, who were still standing there with their heads bowed.

"Make me something to eat."

"Yes." The cook replied immediately.

"What does Young Master An want to eat, is there any taboo?"

"Don't eat cilantro."

The cook was stunned, a little dazed.

An Yan realized something, and said again: "Don't eat coriander."

The cook suddenly realized.

An Yan walked towards the courtyard, pushed open the door of the bedroom, and smelled an elegant fragrance, which mixed with the aroma of wood was very pleasant.

The room was elegantly furnished, and An Yan lay directly on the bed. The soft bedding was spread on the lower door, which was very comfortable, which made An Yan forget.

However, one day, his status and situation changed drastically. The gap between before and after made him a little dazed, but the risk he took this time was totally worth it. Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and this is a lifetime of reliving, and being alone again. Nothing to worry about, An Yan has nothing to fear.

However, in the future in the prime minister's mansion, one should be cautious.

Tiredness hit him quickly, he forgot to ask the cook to prepare meals for him, and fell into a deep sleep.

This time, An Yan slept extremely comfortably, and did not dream. When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside.

A whole new day.

Last night, Manager Wang sent someone to deliver another suit of clothes, the material and style of which were much better than those worn by An Yan, at least it could be seen that they belonged to a wealthy family.

Two maidservants, one named Xiangyun and the other named Zhenniang, fetched water to wash their faces. It was not the plot that An Yan had expected, one helping to dress and the other to help wash the face, but he felt that if he asked so, the two of them would also follow suit.

Zhang Quan, a servant in the yard, came to report: "Master An, Director Wang sent someone to ask you to wake up and go to the front yard to see the Prime Minister."

An Yan, who had just washed up, ignored his breakfast and left the yard directly. There was a servant waiting for him outside, showing him the way.

"Master An, please follow me."

With someone leading the way, An Yan wouldn't get lost in this huge Prime Minister's Mansion.

The place where I saw Yu Jingtang today was his study, An Yan stepped over the threshold and saw a figure reading a book there.

He bowed and raised his voice, "My nephew greets my uncle!"

"My nephew is here, come here." Yu Jingtang's voice sounded from inside.

An Yan entered the room, Yu Jingtang put down the book and motioned him to sit down.

"What books has my nephew read?"

An Yan's eyes quickly scanned the bookshelves. He knew none of the classics on it. He had already thought about this in his heart, and immediately responded: "Nephew...has never read any books."

Yu Jingtang was stunned for a moment, looked at An Yan again, and asked again: "Nephew...have you ever attended a private school?"

"...Never."

"..."

A look of disappointment flashed in Yu Jingtang's eyes. He had originally planned to arrange for An Yan to become an official. If he was a talented person, he could also assist Ting'er in the future.

"The virtuous nephew...is there something good?"

An Yan said: "Nephew...knows a little about fisting and kicking."

In his previous life, he also participated in the mixed martial arts amateur competition and won a silver medal.

But this life's body is too weak.

Yu Jingtang's eyes were even more disappointed, looking at An Yan's body, he reckoned that he was a brave and ruthless person.

He thought about it and said, "In the future, I will find a teacher for you. Although it is never too late to study, you should study hard and don't waste your time. There are many students in my house. You are from a Jinshi background, and it will be of great benefit to you to have more contacts with them."

An Yan can only say yes.

Seeing his attitude, Yu Jingtang nodded with satisfaction. Even though he was once a rotten tree, but his family suffered a change, his mind should be mature.

It's not too late, it's not too late.

Yu Jingtang looked at An Yan with fixed eyes, and asked after a while, "Has my nephew ever married?"

"Never."

What surprised An Yan was that Yu Jingtang sighed when he heard that he was not married. There is nothing to sigh about him not being married, and his body is not too old.

Yu Jingtang, on the other hand, was a little lost in thought, and muttered in his mouth: "Guanglie, you really have always kept this in mind."

After a while, he looked at An Yan seriously again.

"In that case, I will decide to arrange a marriage for you."
