Chapter Twenty-Eight: Do You Want to Go Back to the Capital?
He picked up the book and flipped through a page.
After just one glance, the sloppiness in his eyes faded in an instant, replaced by a rare seriousness.
Just when he was about to turn the page and look again, Ye Yunfeng had already strode over.
"Little Wu, are you okay?"
Shen Yanchuan let go of his hand, and Xiao Wu turned around and shook his head at Ye Yunfeng.
Ye Yunfeng pulled her up and down to make sure that she was indeed fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He stood up straight and saluted Shen Yanchuan: "I'm really sorry, Xiao Wu was busy delivering books to the third brother, maybe he was in a hurry, so he didn't notice you." ”
Shen Yanchuan naturally didn't care about the child, seeing that Ye Yunfeng's eyes had been staring at his hand, the corners of his lips were slightly curved, and he handed the book back.
"Out of the way."
Ye Yunfeng took the book in his hand again, and his hanging heart finally fell.
The third brother explained that these books at home are treasures and cannot be seen by outsiders at will.
He pulled Xiao Wu again to thank him, and then ran away.
Shen Yanchuan also went back to his room.
Lying down on the soft collapse, the scene just now kept appearing in front of his eyes.
He has read a lot of books since he was a child, but he has never seen this one in his memory.
And although he only read a page in a hurry, he felt that the book was by no means simple, and it stands to reason that such a book could not be nameless.
Not to mention the name of that book.
"Taizong ......" Shen Yanchuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered softly.
Taizong has been gone for decades, and idlers can't easily mention it, how can that book ......
"Lian Zhou, you said before that the two brothers of the Ye family are both attending classes in the academy?"
Lian Zhou didn't know why his master suddenly said this, and nodded: "Yes." However, I heard that the master of the academy was not very good to them. ”
You don't have to think about it to know why.
The Ye family has been targeted recently, and the master of the academy probably heard something, and he did not mince words about the Ye family brothers.
This will inevitably happen in small places, and once there is a wind and grass, everyone will know as soon as possible.
Shen Yanchuan thought for a while and said, "You go and tell them that I am here to recuperate, and I have nothing to do, and I want to borrow two books to read." ”
Lian Zhou was surprised: "You want to borrow books here?" ”
Obviously, the collection of books in the house is like a sea of smoke, how can the master still -
But seeing that Shen Yanchuan was thinking about it, he didn't even ask much about the boat, and responded directly.
"Yes!"
……
"He's going to borrow books?"
Ye Chutang was a little surprised.
Ye Jingyan nodded: "Yes." His attendant said that he was bored here, and wanted to borrow two books for amusement. ”
He hesitated and asked, "What does Sister mean, should we borrow it?" ”
Ye Chutang smiled: "Isn't it just a few books, just borrow him." Just pick two travelogues and send them to him. ”
After all, people live here to pay money, and this convenience still has to be given.
Ye Jingyan understood: "Okay, I know." ”
Seeing that he turned around to leave, Ye Chutang stopped him again: "Ah Yan, wait." ”
Ye Jingyan turned around: "Sister? ”
Ye Chutang pondered and asked, "How are you doing in the academy recently?" Did the Master deliberately embarrass you? ”
Ye Jingyan didn't expect her to ask this suddenly, and she was stunned for a while.
He subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but the person in front of him was Sister A, he hesitated for a moment, but still said frankly: "It's not deliberately embarrassing, it may be that I haven't done well enough in my schoolwork, and the master has always been strict, so ......"
"Then it's still a dilemma."
Ye Chutang couldn't hear the true meaning of his euphemistic words.
In fact, she knew a long time ago that her master didn't like Ah Yan and Ah Feng, and when she first came to Jiangling, the brothers knew that it was not easy for them to gain a foothold here, and the master sometimes gave them a look, and they all endured it.
The master has quite a position in Jiangling, and if he offends him, it will be inconvenient everywhere.
But their tolerance and concession obviously did not exchange for the other party's tolerance, but intensified.
Ye Chutang handed over a bottle of plaster: "Don't forget to apply medicine to the wounds on your hands." ”
Ye Jingyan pretended to smile lightly: "It's almost good, Sister doesn't have to worry." ”
Ye Chutang still stuffed the medicine to him, looked at the scar in his palm that had not completely faded, and said softly: "Ah Yan, Ling is different from Ah Feng, he has been solid since he was a child, he can't sit still, and he can't recite the text and gets beaten, and he deserves it." But you have always been sensible, among children of the same age, if you say that homework is second, no one dares to say that you are first. ”
"Your hands should be used to write articles."
Ye Jingyan was stunned, lowered his head and did not speak for a long time.
He just...... I don't want Sister A to worry.
Ye Chutang patted him on the shoulder, thirteen-year-old Ah Yan's body had begun to twitch, the boy who was once only as high as her chest, and his eyes were full of panic and despair, I don't know when he was already as tall as her, and it was estimated that he would surpass her in a short time.
After a pause, Ye Chutang asked, "Ah Yan, do you want to go back to the capital to study?" ”
Ye Jingyan looked at her in shock.
"Sister?"
Ye Chutang said: "You just need to answer whether you want to or not." ”
Ye Jingyan's lips were pursed, and he didn't speak for a long time.
To say that you don't want to be absolutely deceitful, but ...... How can they go back now?
Ye Jingyan finally shook his head and said firmly: "I just want to be with Sister Ah Feng and Xiao Wu, and nothing else matters." ”
In his heart, family always comes first.
Ye Chutang was not surprised to get such an answer.
When the accident happened, Ah Yan was only ten years old, but he was smart and precocious since he was a child, especially after experiencing those, he was even more thoughtful.
Ah Feng is clearly about the same age as him, and he is still heartless, but he is completely different.
Ye Chutang was able to take them to settle down in Jiangling smoothly, and Ah Yan really helped her a lot.
But the matter of reading cannot be delayed.
In this era, reading is the best way out, not to mention that they can't really stay in this small Gangneung for the rest of their lives.
She still has a lot to do.
Ye Chutang said: "If you want, we will go back." ”
Ye Jingyan's heart skipped a heavy beat: "Sister-"
The corners of Ye Chutang's lips curved: "There is a letter from the capital." ”
Ye Jingyan's eyes widened instantly, and he rarely showed eagerness: "Really!?" ”
Ye Chutang nodded, his tone was still calm, but there seemed to be a thin layer of coldness in his dark and warm eyes.
"The accident was not an accident. The people who killed their father, mother, and eldest brother were not ordinary mountain robbers. ”
Ye Jingyan's chest seemed to be pressed by a boulder, and it was almost difficult to breathe.
Three years ago, my father was demoted, and the family encountered a gang of bandits on the way to Wuzhou, suffering heavy casualties.
Later, it was Sister A who took them to blend in with the refugees who fled the famine, and barely survived.
In the three years since, Sister Ah has been secretly investigating the truth of the year, and now there is finally news?
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and asked, "So—who the hell are they!?" ”
