The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Xiao Yan arranged for someone to take care of Yan Huai during the two days when he was recuperating in the inn. He seemed to be very busy, and he was rarely seen during the day. However, Xiao Yan would come back in time to accompany Yan Huai during dinner every day. meal.

After the meal, Xiao Yan would also talk to him about the ways of governing the country, the six arts of a gentleman, etc. Yan Huai listened with great fascination.

He was born at the bottom, and as Xiao Yan said, these things can only be learned by noble children. To him, this knowledge is like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, elusive but elusive.

At this time, Xiao Yan was teaching Yan Huai how to play chess. Yan Huai was very smart. After two days of playing chess, he had gradually mastered some essentials.

Qingyun pushed the door open and walked in: "Your Majesty, it's time for Young Master Yan to change his medicine."

Xiao Yan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Huai: "That's it for today."

Yan Huai put down the Baizi he was twisting in his hand: "Okay."

Qingyun respectfully handed a white porcelain bottle to Xiao Yan. After Xiao Yan took the bottle, Qingyun silently exited.

Xiao Yan helped apply medicine to Yan Huai's injuries in the past two days, so when Xiao Yan stood up and walked to his side, Yan Huai untied his belt and took off his shirt.

The bruises and scars left by whipping on his lean and fair body were still shocking to look at.

Xiao Yan's eyes were full of understanding and a little distressed.

"This medicine has the effect of removing scars. Apply it on time when you go back, and the scars will be removed in about half a month."

Yan Huai smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay for me, a grown man, to have some scars on my body."

Xiao Yan took out the ointment and gently applied it on Yan Huai's wound: "You are a scholar and not a martial artist, so it is better not to leave any scars."

Yan Huai nodded: "Then listen to Brother Xiao, I will apply this medicine on time."

Xiao Yan's fingers slowly traced his smooth back, and the touch under the fingertips was smooth and delicate. He lowered his eyes slightly to hide the flash of desire in his eyes.

"Ah Huai wants to pursue an official career after studying?"

Yan Huai looked stunned for a moment: "I have never thought about it. My parents and my wife said that I studied too late and it would be difficult to pursue an official career. It would be better to study business after a few years and find a way out."

"Then are you willing to live such a life?"

He could feel that Yan Huai had a higher yearning in his heart.

Yan Huai sighed softly: "I have lived in the countryside since I was a child. I have seen many people suffering from hunger and lack of food. I have also struggled to survive in this quagmire. Some people froze to death in the winter because their families were bare. Because he could not support his family, he had no choice but to sell his sons and daughters. On the way to escape, he saw mourning all over the land and broken mountains and rivers. I am not afraid of Brother Xiao’s jokes. Although I am a humble person, I also have dreams in my heart. I hope that in the future there will be a prosperous age of He Qing Hai Yan. , the people have no worries about food and clothing, the people are well-off, the country has strong military and strong horses, and the politics is clear.”

Xiao Yan's eyes trembled slightly, thinking of what Jiang Ci said that day.

Maybe Jiang Ci was right. The young man in front of him had clear political ambitions and firm and lofty beliefs. He should have warmed everything like the blazing sun.

"May your heart be set on what you want, and may you finally achieve your wishes!"

next day

Early in the morning, Yan Shu and Jiang Ci came to the inn to take Yan Huai home.

Xiao Yan and others were also ready to go back to Anyang.

Before Xiao Yan left, Jiang Ci prepared a farewell gift.

"What is this?"

Xiao Yan looked at the basket in front of him with some doubts and took out a gray thing from it.

"These are potatoes. They are food we accidentally found in the mountains. You can take these back and ask someone who is proficient in farming to plant them. They can be planted at the end of March. You will be surprised when the autumn harvest comes."

Jiang Ci didn't introduce too much about the benefits of potatoes. No matter how much he said, it would be better to see it with his own eyes. Let Xiao Yan take it back and study it by himself.

Xiao Yan thanked him and handed the basket of potatoes to his men to carry on the carriage, and then said goodbye to Jiang Ci, Yan Shu and Yan Huai.

"Brother Xiao, thank you for your teaching these two days. I will work hard to practice Go. I hope we can play a few more games when we meet next time."

Xiao Yan looked at Yan Huai with deep eyes: "Okay, I hope to see you making progress next time we meet."

Yan Shu also stepped forward and said: "Prince Xiao, take care of yourself all the way. Thank you for taking care of my third brother these past two days. If there is any need for us brothers and sisters in the future, please send a letter to Jiang Mansion."

Xiao Yan nodded, said goodbye to the three of them, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

The team slowly left, and Yan Huai stood there watching the team go further and further away.

The two days we spent together were fleeting, and when we parted suddenly, I felt empty in my heart.

It's hard to find a confidant. Although I got along with Xiao Yan for a short time, I learned a lot from him, which will benefit me throughout my life.

"Third brother?"

"Huh?" Yan Huai looked away and looked at his little sister.

"We go home."

"Okay, go home."

three days later

Late night

When Yan Shu was drowsily asleep, there was a noise from the bed next to her, and she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

Because Jiang Ci fell into the trap, Yan Shu agreed to let Jiang Ci sleep in his room for the sake of safety these days.

She sat up and looked at the figure in the room. Jiang Ci slowly walked towards the door as if he was sleepwalking.

Seeing this, Yan Shu put on her shoes and got out of bed. She pulled a large cloak off the hanger and put it on her body. Then she followed Jiang Ci out of the room, always keeping a distance of about ten meters from Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci seemed to have received some kind of instruction and walked towards the side door near the east courtyard of Jiang Mansion. After walking out of this door, he entered a dark alley.

Yan Shu did not dare to stay too close to Jiang Ci. After Jiang Ci walked far away, she walked out of the courtyard and followed lightly.

Jiang Ci walked around and around, and finally arrived at the door of a house half an hour later. At this time, Yan Shu also heard a melodious and ethereal flute sound, which came from the yard.

When Jiang Ci arrived outside the courtyard door, the sound of the flute suddenly stopped, and after a moment, the backyard door was slowly opened.

The sky was dark, and only a vague figure of the person could be seen from Yan Shu's distance. He could vaguely see a slender young woman. The woman was wearing a blue cloak, and her entire face was hidden under the large cape. He couldn't see his face clearly at all.

The woman's hand waved twice in front of Jiang Ci, and Jiang Ci obediently followed the woman into the courtyard.
