Fishing succubus is good at raising fish

Chapter 39 Suspicion has arisen

Shen Shaotang waited for a long while, but did not hear a response.

He turned his head and stared straight at the man half-surrounding him, his gaze was docile like a defenseless little animal.

Yin Yuye looked at him deeply with lowered eyes, and the emotions in his eyes were put away in time, but this kind of scrutiny and deep eyes made people feel uneasy for no reason.

"Not to mention that the mountain road is far away, and there are faint signs of subsidence in Yaoshan Mountain. After the floods stop, the temple may not be able to stay, so why waste effort?"

"I heard that the Yaoshan Temple has appeared several times, so it is best to pray for blessings..."

There was a cold smile on Yin Yuye's lips, "So many temples have been built in the world, and they are worshiped by mortals every year. They eat and drink enough to enjoy the respect, but when they really encounter natural disasters, some of them sacrifice their lives to save others... They are all hypocrites who talk about morality, benevolence and righteousness, and live in the world."

His words were insinuating, which showed his contempt for the righteous immortal world.

"... Husband be careful with your words, don't blaspheme the gods." Shen Shaotang felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart, and his eyes were slightly cold.

Realizing that Shen Shaotang's tone was wrong, although Yin Yuye disapproved in his heart, he quickly put on a smiling face and coaxed softly in a normal tone:

"What I mean is...there are many temples in the world, and the incense is not as bad as in Yaoshan. Compared with Yaoshan Temple, it seems petty. If you really want to pray, I will definitely find another temple and accompany you personally."

"..." Why does it still sound weird?

Shen Shaotang looked sad, and murmured in a low voice: "Ah, you...you weren't like this before."

"..." Yin Yuye was silent for a moment, the cold moonlight reflected in his eyes.

"From now on, don't call this word."

Shen Shaotang faintly felt drowsy, and replied in a daze: "Then what are you calling..."

"Chu Xun."

"Chu Xun..."

Yin Yuye responded softly, a gentle smile almost overflowing from his eyes.

"Did you meet anyone on Yaoshan that day?"

"..." Shen Shaotang retained a sliver of consciousness, thinking that her husband doesn't like strange powers and distractions, so she shook her head lightly.

Yin Yuye looked at his side face, and didn't feel tired just looking at him, until he felt the breathing in the room was continuous and steady, then he wrapped his arms around the waist of the person next to his pillow, and gradually fell asleep.

A night without dreams until dawn.

……

At noon three days later, the sun shone through the gaps in the pergolas, casting spots of light, and the tall banyan tree in front of the yard was lush and luxuriant.

Summoned by the old lady, the whole family gathered at a table in the yard.

As soon as Shen Shaotang and Yin Yuye passed through the pergola, they saw Qiu Yan arriving first and sitting on the left of the old lady.

The old lady waved to them, smiling all over her face: "Good boy, come here."

Yin Yuye took a seat on the right and asked Shen Shaotang to sit next to him. At this time, the table was already full of sumptuous meals.

Shen Shaotang noticed with sharp eyes that many of them were still Qiu He's favorite food.

At this time, Suxue brought up a plate of pear paste candy and placed it in front of Shen Shaotang.

"I heard that you like sweets, so I asked someone to make some, and you can try to see if it suits your appetite."

Shen Shaotang was flattered, and under the expectant eyes of the old lady, he picked up a piece of pear paste candy, bowed his head and took a bite.

"It's delicious! Thank you, mother." He raised his head and said with sparkling eyes.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled more and more kindly.

After a cup of tea, she glanced at the way they came and asked.

"He'er, did you see your third sister on the road?"

"Third sister is going to change clothes, she will be here in a while."

Qiu Yan, who had remained silent all along, tightened his fingers holding the bamboo chopsticks. Because the back of his hand was thin and the veins were obvious, he suddenly said:

"Mom, don't worry..."

Yin Yuye looked at Qiu Yan who was opposite, and saw that his haggard face was a little rosy, but his figure was still thin. Compared with the last time we met, his brows were a little more restrained and deep.

The old lady just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, he pretended to be concerned and said, "Second brother, is your body already recovering?"

"Mostly recovered... Fortunately, I don't need to take any more medicine." Qiu Yan looked calm, and his attitude was neither salty nor weak, "Thank you, brother, for your concern."

"Yan'er, since your body is healed, you should concentrate on studying in the future." The old lady continued with a calm tone, "Go back and read those sage books, Tao Te Ching, your father said before he left, whether it is practicing medicine or studying , remember to work hard and not give up halfway.”

"..." Qiu Yan was slightly taken aback, "Mother, I know."

Shen Shaotang bit the pear paste candy and paused before continuing to put it into his mouth. While chewing, he wondered, what was the old lady thinking?

The atmosphere stagnated for another moment, and when Suxue was about to go looking for someone, Qiu Zi came late, she changed into an elegant purple dress, and sat down beside Qiu Yan.

"Why don't you talk because I'm late?" She glanced blankly at the people on the table.

"I know I'm late, so I'm still punishing myself with a drink." The old lady said with a smile.

"If you are punished, you will be punished!" Qiu Zi was distracted, so she called Suxue, filled herself with wine, and drank it with her head raised.

Her cheeks were flushed from drinking, and her expression was not in line with usual, but more real. This scene made several people laugh.

"We...we haven't eaten together for a long time." Qiu Zi showed a sincere smile on her face, "Brother is back, but..."

She turned her head to look at Qiu Yan, her eyes were full of reluctance: "Second brother, if you are admitted to the first prize in the future, will you never come back again?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The old lady purposely put on a stern expression, "Your second brother is really going to pass the exam, and that's considered a glorious lintel. I'm glad that your father is still alive."

"Yes, Third Sister." Qiu Yan smiled imperceptibly, and her voice was very soft: "There is a big brother in Jixintang, and the person who will carry forward the Qiu family's medical skills must also be a big brother, and it doesn't matter whether I'm here... or not. "

"..."

This tone is really a bit unpredictable.

"The number one scholar in the imperial examination is the highest ideal of scholars in the world, so there is no need to belittle yourself, Ah Yan." Seeing his downcast look, Shen Shaotang said with a hint of persuasion from an elder.

There was a little light in Qiu Yan's eyes, he slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Shen Shaotang for the first time at the dinner table.

"Your sister-in-law is right, you have to have confidence in yourself." Yin Yuye also encouraged him, putting his hands on Shen Shaotang's shoulders from behind.

"One month later, it will be the day to go to Beijing to catch the exam. How sure is Second Brother?" Qiu Zi looked at their faces and asked tentatively.

"Right now I'm not... completely sure." Qiu Yan lowered her eyes and stroked the rim of the bowl with her fingers.

"You are seriously ill now, and it is inevitable that you are behind in your homework, but the date of the scientific examination is approaching, if there are noble people in the capital to help you, it will not be too difficult in the future." The old lady sighed, took a sip of red bean soup and put it down. up.

He continued: "The daughter of the Yuan family's cousin, the Jia family, whose father is an official in the imperial court, and whose daughter is old enough to talk about marriage, if you like it..."

Qiu Yan's face changed slightly, he didn't expect his mother to agree to such a thing.

"Second brother is not young anymore, he should also start a family and start a career, and take on the responsibilities of a man." After thinking for a while, Yin Yuye agreed.

"I..." Qiu Yan wanted to refuse.

But after a while, no one listened to his opinion. The old lady had a good impression of Jia's daughter in her heart, so she planned to let the two of them meet and make a marriage agreement.
