The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and Yan Ruyu was waiting with a half-smile.

The headmaster held two oil paper bags in his hands, got off his horse, and strode up to Yan Ruyu.

"Young Madam," Huo Changhe clasped his fists, "I'm sorry, something happened suddenly last night. I left in a hurry and didn't bother to say goodbye to you."

He passed the oil paper bag forward and said, "Add vegetables for everyone."

The oil paper bag was fragrant and still warm.

Yan Ruyu took it and handed it to Yin Ding. Yin Ding took it happily and said, "Thank you, Master."

Huo Changhe pursed his lips and smiled slightly, looking at Yan Ruyu. She had just taken a shower, her hair was still a little trendy, and the right corner of her forehead was raised a little, making her look cute and playful.

The skin also looks whiter and moister, and the cool brows and eyes are stained with a bit of moisture, instantly becoming more gentle.

He couldn't help but take a step forward, cleared his throat and was about to say a few warm words when Yan Ruyu suddenly said: "Master, how is the ancestral grave?"

Huo Changhe: "??"

Huo Changhe was confused. He came in a hurry during the day. When Bago called him "digging the ancestral graves," he didn't understand. Now that Yan Ruyu asked again, he realized something was wrong.

"Ancestral grave?"

Yan Ruyu nodded seriously and spoke sympathetically: "Didn't you meet a bully? It's not easy for your grandfather to depend on you. He has to look after the old house and guard the ancestral grave for you. What kind of bully is so bold that he even dares to visit your ancestral grave? move?"

Huo Changhe: "..."

A breath caught in his throat.

Yan Ruyu sighed and said, "Seeing that you don't look good, I'll get you something to drink."

She turned around and went to the carriage. Huo Changhe grabbed the silver ingot and was about to escape: "What did you say?"

Yin Ding's fat round face fell down: "Master, this is not what I want to say. It was at that time. The situation was..."

Before he could explain clearly, Yan Ruyu came back with a big bowl.

When Huo Changhe saw the big bowl, his fingertips trembled slightly.

"Here, drink it, it will relieve the heat and eliminate the fire."

Huo Changhe's throat rolled: "Actually, I..."

"I made it specially for you," Yan Ruyu slightly raised her lips.

In the firelight, her smile was particularly warm.

Huo Changhe felt confident and said, "Okay."

He took the bowl, took a deep breath, held it, and drank it all. He closed his lips tightly and welcomed the baptism of various flavors.

Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter: "Master, I have something else to tell you."

As she walked, she put the big bowl back, and Huo Changhe couldn't help but follow.

"what's up?"

My mouth is numb when I speak.

Yan Ruyu lowered her voice and said, "It's like this. I met several Jianghu masters in the village before, and they once told me something."

"It is said that there is a kind of magic in this world, or a demon, which can make a person have countless faces, just like this mask. If he is possessed by a demon, the time will be short and the demon will be exorcised. If it lasts for a long time, I am afraid that he will have to pay a lot of money. cost."

Huo Changhe's breathing was slightly stifled. He listened attentively at first, but the more he listened, the more he felt guilty.

Yan Ruyu smiled half-heartedly: "Oh, by the way, one more thing, Brother Rui is not Kui Niang's child."

Huo Changhe's stagnant breath slowly released: "It's not hers? Whose is it?"

"I don't know, it's not hers, let alone the prince's."

Huo Changhe felt hot in his heart, clenched his hands into fists, and resisted the urge to hold her hand: "I also went to Antai Town for a tour this time."

"What's the gain?"

"There are many people gathered in Antai Town now. I asked around and found out that they are all scholars from nearby, including many children from aristocratic families. They are all going to worship Wenquxing. They say they can get some kind of talisman. Those who get the talisman can go to high school."

Yan Ruyu remembered that one of the few scholars who passed by that night mentioned that he wanted to worship Wenquxing, but he didn't say anything about the talisman.

"Children of aristocratic families also want to worship? Do they still need talismans?" Yan Ruyu was puzzled.

"It is said that only those with special destiny and true talents and learning will obtain the talisman. Although children from aristocratic families can become officials without relying on the imperial examination, those young and proud scholars still want to prove themselves."

Yan Ruyu chuckled: "That's it."

She looked in the direction of Antai Town: "Then I probably know what King Yi is planning."

Appreciation flashed in Huo Changhe's eyes: "In addition, there is news from Shuangfeng Mountain that King Yi has been quite peaceful recently. In addition to going to court every day, he is copying scriptures at home, euphemistically called it, for the emperor, the queen mother and the court. Pray for blessings.”

Yan Ruyu was thoughtful, and Huo Changhe continued: "In addition, there is news from the Yan family."

Yan Ruyu was startled and didn't react for a moment: "The Yan family?"

"Miss Yan, ever since the incident with Prince Yi was revealed, she has been thinking about breaking up and marrying into Prince Yi's palace as a concubine.

But her status was too low to marry into the palace, and Princess Yi and her mother clan were opposed to her. She couldn't even settle for being a concubine, let alone a side concubine.

This matter caused a storm in the city. If King Yi hadn't taken the initiative to copy the scriptures, he might not have been able to escape punishment. "

Yan Ruyu sneered: "He knows how to hide."

"This matter has become known to everyone. Miss Yan's reputation has been completely ruined. Minister Yan has found a family for her in other places in the past few days and has quietly married her."

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised: "Already married?"

"Exactly."

Yan Ruyu didn't expect that Miss Yan would disappear from her life so easily.

After talking about the matter, the two of them walked back together.

Huo Changheng and Huo Qinxiang ran over.

"Brother, are you back?" Huo Changheng pulled him, "Have the family affairs been settled?"

The myna flew over and flapped its wings and shouted: "Poor man, poor man! Dig into the ancestral graves!"

Huo Changhe: "..."

"It's taken care of," Huo Changhe touched Huo Changheng's head, "I brought some jujube honey cakes to you and Qinxiang and will bring them to you later."

"Thank you, big brother!" Huo Changheng smiled happily, "I have something else, I wonder if big brother can agree to it."

"Say," Huo Changhe leaned down and listened patiently.

"I want to ask my elder brother to teach me how to practice martial arts in my spare time," Huo Changheng clenched his fists and said in a serious tone, "I want to practice martial arts."

"Why?" Huo Changhe smiled slightly, "You want to protect your mother?"

"Well, there is also sister-in-law," Huo Changheng nodded. "Sister-in-law has the hardest time, and sometimes she has to be wronged... I want to protect sister-in-law."

Yan Ruyu felt warm in her heart and touched his head.

Huo Qinxiang held Yan Ruyu's finger and spoke softly but firmly: "And I, Aunt Fairy, I want to protect you too."

Yan Ruyu smiled lightly and hugged them both: "Now that you are young, I should protect you. When you grow up, you will protect me."

"Don't worry, there will be a long time ahead."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing happily.

Suddenly, Huo Qinxiang's smile disappeared, she took two steps back in fear and hid beside Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu hugged her and followed her gaze.
