In the next room

Liu Wenniang pulled Yan Shu to sit down and looked at her daughter carefully.

"Sh'er, tell me the truth, have you and Erlang been together these past two days..."

Yan Shu laughed helplessly, stretched out his hand to lift up his sleeves, and his green-white jade arm reflected a little vermilion.

"Mom, Jiang Ci is a man of etiquette, he will never act recklessly."

Liu Wenniang smiled and nodded: "Erlang is a well-behaved boy, and I believe this. My daughter, although nothing has happened to you, after all, a man and a widow live in the same room. If Erlang is willing to take responsibility, Are you willing to marry him?"

Yan Shu never thought about the possibility of marrying Jiang Ci because she knew Jiang Ci's identity from the beginning.

"My daughter doesn't want to."

Liu Wenniang was a little surprised: "I saw that you took great care of Erlang, and I thought you liked him too."

Yan Shu thought to himself, do you like him?

It would obviously be a lie to say that a person with such stunning scenery is not moved at all.

But she knew better that this man was not the one she should covet.

For her, it's not that she doesn't like it, but that she can't like it.

She has been clear about this from the beginning and has been positioning herself accordingly.

"Mom, I have taken care of him as a younger brother from the beginning, and I have no other thoughts."

Liu Wenniang sighed softly, it seemed that her daughter really had no interest in Erlang.

No matter what, children have their own destiny. As elders, they only need to respect the children's choices.

"Your father and the others haven't come over after talking to Erlang for so long. The food is getting cold. I'll call them." Liu Wenniang stood up and walked out of the room.

She came to the next door and knocked on the door, and Yan Huai opened the door.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"Let's see what you're doing."

Liu Wenniang entered the room, glanced at the men in the room, and finally her eyes fell on Jiang Ci's face.

"I just chatted with Shu'er for a while. Nothing happened between them these two days. You guys, please don't bully Erlang."

Yan Wu put his hands on his hips and rolled his eyes with dissatisfaction.

"Mom, with Jiang Erlang's skills, he can knock your well-behaved and sensible son away with one palm. How can we bully him?"

Jiang Ci smiled and said: "Second aunt, don't worry, we just had a casual chat."

"Okay, come and eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Yan Ersheng stood up and said, "Let's go and eat."

The family came to the next room, and Yan Shu looked at Jiang Ci.

Seeing that he got along well with his parents and brothers, he felt relieved.

She couldn't help but wonder what they had just talked about?

It felt like the anger my father and brothers had just felt was gone.

"Eat more."

Jiang Ci added a steamed dumpling and put it on her plate.

Feeling the looks from others, Yan Shu hurriedly lowered his eyes and focused on eating.

She can now be sure that Jiang Ci did it on purpose. Now that it's better, the whole family thinks that the relationship between the two of them is impure...

After meal

The Yan family took turns to take a bath.

Yan Shu took this opportunity to call Jiang Ci aside.

"Uncle..."

Just as Yan Shu was about to speak, Jiang Ci suddenly leaned close to her, with a smile in his phoenix eyes.

"Huh? What do you call me?"

Yan Shu's breath froze and he subconsciously took a step back.

"Um...Aci, what did my father and brothers just talk to you about?"

Jiang Cifeng blinked slightly, turned around, walked to the table and sat down.

"I didn't say anything. I will explain what happened in the city these two days. Uncle Yan and my brothers are all reasonable people and will never make things difficult for me."

"Just explain the misunderstanding clearly. My father and brothers actually trust you, and my mother also praises you as a gentleman."

Jiang Ci curled his lips and smiled. He was not a gentleman.

"Sister-in-law, are you worried about me?"

"Yeah, I'm worried that you will be beaten by them. Although you are very skilled in martial arts, I know you won't fight back if they really beat you."

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows slightly.

If he fought back, his wife would be gone, and he would not do a loss-making business.

"It's still early. After they take a shower, let's go for a walk on the street."

Jiang Ci thought to himself that he had been busy dealing with Guo Chengsi in Fucheng these past two days and had not yet taken the little fox around.

Now that she is here, she cannot be allowed to have any regrets.

Yan Shu's eyes brightened slightly: "Okay."

That day, she only visited the morning market near Zuiyue Pavilion and had not been to other places.

Now that her parents and brother are here, she is very interested in shopping.

Beichengwai

The villagers of Xinghua Village continued to queue.

Yan Changming walked up to Yan Fugui and Seventh Uncle: "Seventh Uncle, Dad, I just went to the city gate to inquire and said that someone in the city asked Uncle Ersheng and his family to enter the city."

Yan Fugui looked curious: "Is it possible that Ersheng knows someone in Nanwei Mansion?"

The seventh uncle thought for a while and had some guesses in his mind.

If you can be taken into the city without queuing, you must have connections with the government.

How could a man who spent his two lives digging food in the same field know the officials of the city?

Jiang Ci and the fourth girl were not in the team these two days, and Er Sheng told the truth that they had gone to the city overnight.

Presumably the fact that their family was taken in today had something to do with Jiang Ci.

He could actually get officials from Nanwei Mansion to act for him. What is this guy's background?

At this time, Yan Peng pushed Yan Daqiang over.

"Seventh Uncle, Village Chief, Er Sheng and his family, since they have a way into the city, they should help everyone go in together. It's really not interesting for them to leave alone and ignore everyone."

Yan Daqiang deliberately said these words loudly, and several villagers lining up next to him also echoed.

"Daqiang is right. We are from the same clan. Since the Ersheng family can establish relations with the government, it must be a big deal for them to bring people from our village with them. But they didn't even say a polite word. It's in vain. Our family helped them many times when we were in the village.”

"It's true that Ersheng and the others didn't do this right. We could enter the city early but we had to wait in line for several hours. We are all tired, hungry and sleepy. We don't know how long we will have to wait for our turn. .”

Everyone's words to each other were filled with complaints about Yan Ersheng's family, and deep down they were filled with jealousy.

They are all villagers of Xinghua Village, so why can Yan Ersheng go through the back door?

At this time, Yan Dahu and Aunt Mei's family stood up.

"Are you talking human language? When did you encounter danger along the way, did you not rely on the Ersheng family? To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fourth girl and Jiang Erlang, everyone here would probably not survive Panfeng During that time in the village, did you still have the opportunity to stand here and make sarcastic remarks?"

Aunt Wu was unconvinced and said: "Aunt Mei, let's discuss the matter. Fourth Girl and Jiang Erlang did help us before, but since they have connections this time, why don't they bring us in together? This way we don't have to wait in line. , wouldn’t it save time?”

Yan Dahu snorted softly: "Is the door of your official position open to your family? There are more than 2000 people in our villages. If so many people can enter the city without queuing, what should the other people lining up feel? If some unconvinced people take the lead in making trouble, wouldn't it cause trouble again?"
