“Why Second Cousin say such a thing?”
Yan Chu frowned and said questioningly.
He indeed had already guessed why Yan Tao came. In his opinion, he was himself. If those people in the main branch conspired to do something to him, he naturally had to come and inform him.
“Nothing, but these days there are a lot of rumors in the village re-talking about Zhenzhen at that time, saying that she was originally a child bride for you, but after you developed, our family wouldn’t recognize this matter, I just want to tell you that it’s better to keep a distance with Zhenzhen recently and don’t let people catch the handle.”
Yan Tao looked solemn.
He did not know what happened. After he was reborn in this cousin’s body, he often had some minor illnesses and pains, and these minor illnesses and pains suddenly broke out during his preliminary round of imperial examination.
In addition to the smooth progress of the first county examination, he also became the county’s first rank as he expected. However, in the later prefectural examination, he had either diarrhea and dehydration in the middle of the test or had a high fever before the test. He never finished a paper smoothly.
Yan Tao wondered if this body still had the consciousness of the second cousin. The other side deliberately tormented him for not seeing him well.
For this reason, Yan Tao had been running to the temple all these years. He had asked for a lot of various talismans and drank a lot of gray water talisman37gray water talismanthe liquid that created from the ash of the painted talisman and put the ash in the water. Unfortunately, until he was 13 years old, when his younger cousin became Juren57Jurena successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination, he still stopped at Tongsheng58Tongshenga candidate who has not yet passed the county-level imperial exam.
Yan Tao sighed inwardly, but fortunately, there were still six years to go before the princess to be directed to get married. He did not believe that he could not do anything in these six years.
“Second Cousin is joking. In my opinion, Zhenzhen is my sister. There’s nothing between us, so there’s nothing to avoid.”
Yan Chu’s face was magnanimous, and Yan Tao looked more anxious.
“I” was too naive and kind, otherwise how could he be stabbed in the back by the villain of the main branch family in the first place.
“Listen to your second brother’s advice, stay away from Fu Zhenzhen, or at least stay away from Fu Zhenzhen before you leave for the examination.”
Yan Tao remembered that Fu Zhenzhen’s elder brother was still a little servant in General Weiyuan’s house. It was not yet a time for the Tuyou tribe in the north to make trouble. General Weiyuan led the troops to fight against the rebellion. At that time, General Weiyuan had personally gone there and Fu Yugui, who was taken to the northern border as his soldier, made his outstanding military service.
His rebirth had brought too many variables. He did not know if Fu Yugui in this life would repeat the rules of the previous life. If the other party was not successful, then Fu Zhenzhen would still be that ordinary girl. Such a girl could be a concubine and a legal wife, but it was especially inadequate.
Therefore, Yan Tao did not want Yan Chu to have an irreversible relationship with Fu Zhenzhen so early.
“Remember, I’m the only one in this family who won’t hurt you.”
Over the years, he had been halted in Tongsheng and frustrated. For Yan Tao, who had always been smooth sailing, it was still a big blow, especially after seeing that “himself” was better and better than his previous life.
That was clearly “himself”, but looking at the other’s life was better than the original self, Yan Tao indeed had some jealousy. Recently, he had been thinking about what would happen if he had just returned to his own body.
But fortunately, he was rationally told that his idea was wrong. After all, they were the same person, and the other had a good life, which meant that he had a good life.
And to put it bluntly, if his body kept getting sick frequently and prepared for the worst, he might be just Tongsheng for his whole life. In this way, how could he have a future, how could he be rich and well-off?
Yan Tao knew “himself”, and he was always generous to the family he recognized. Just like he helped the main branch family regardless of his predecessors in his last life, as long as he had a good relationship with “himself” in this life, the future benefits were positively indispensable.
Only when “himself” was in a high position, the more benefits he could give them, so no matter what, he had to help “himself” instead of those people who had harmed him so badly.
Yan Tao did not dare to come out for too long. If Liu Fuchun saw him standing with Yan Chu, she would talk endlessly.
He urged Yan Chu again. Seeing that the other party did not seem to listen at all, he sighed, intending to see what Liu Fuchun and Yan Changxue were planning to do and to pull Yan Chu out of the game when the opponent started.
Ah, how could “I” not understand his kindness? Yan Tao puked blood a little inwardly.
After listening to the other party’s nagging, when Yan Chu was about to close the door, he saw silk flower slightly exposed at the corner. The pink one was the one he gave to Fu Zhenzhen during the day.
“Bro, Brother Yan.”
Seeing Yan Chu suddenly appear, Fu Zhenzhen quickly wiped her tears and tried to make herself smile.
She just had a little hope just now and wanted to see if Brother Yan was willing to teach her writing characters. Before she knocked on the door of Yan Chu’s room, Yan Tao appeared. She had to hide quietly while the other party did not pay attention.
She heard everything that Yan Tao said just now. She knew that her identity was quite disgusting, but listening to Yan Tao shining and constantly emphasizing to Brother Yan that he should stay away from her, and Fu Zhenzhen could not help but felt sad. At the same time, she also thought that Yan Tao was too annoying.
“I happened to bring you a few copybooks from the provincial capital. Those are you, girls’ favorite fonts. You can copy them later.”
Yan Chu took her hand and walked towards his room without asking why she was crying just now.
The copybooks he said happened to be on the table, and he was ready to send them to her later.
“Brother Yan, why are you so nice to me?”
Fu Zhenzhen looked at the few copies of Pinhua lower case38Pinhua lower casea type of lower case in regular calligraphy, which is famous for its softness and beauty and is favored by ancient women in her hand, lowered her head, and dragged her toes on the ground. Finally, she plucked up the courage to ask.
“Fool, it’s because you’re my little sister.”
Yan Chu flicked her forehead with his fingers, and the little girl raised her head with slight pain.
Her eyes and nose were red, and under the candlelight, she was as pitiful and cute as a bunny.
“Sister, is it just a younger sister?”
Fu Zhenzhen did not know what it felt like to like, but the little sisters in the village who were about her same age began to look for a boyfriend said, like was that you have someone in your heart, you would often think of him, your heartbeat would speed up when you saw him, and your breathing would become short.
She felt that if she liked this, she should like Brother Yan.
He is the most gentle person to her in this family. He would teach her to write and bring her cakes from Wufangzhai in the county town on her birthday. Growing up, all the gifts she received except for her family were given by the other.
He was so kind, so good that Fu Zhenzhen could not think of any reason to dislike him.
It was just that she knew in her heart that the gap between the two of them was like clouds and mud, and she was not worthy of him.
Sometimes Fu Zhenzhen would also think that for someone like Brother Yan, she would be willing to be a concubine, but this would be unfair to Brother Yan’s legal wife, and if Brother Yan was a man who still had beautiful wives and concubines, she might be disappointed with him.
But all these were impossible. She still wanted to hear what Brother Yan said. As long as the other party gave her an affirmative answer, she would put her heart away and stop thinking about it.
“Zhenzhen.”
Yan Chu was also distressed. He also blamed himself for his hesitation and giving the little girl too many misunderstandings. Now he was hurting the other party. The mistake was indeed also his.
He thought carefully, maybe he could act like the most perfect husband, so that Fu Zhenzhen believed that she was the one being loved from beginning to end, but first of all, in the case of the Yan family, Fu Zhenzhen, who was in harmony in the relationship between the married couple, could she be harmonious in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and between sisters-in-law?
Fu Yugui made his fortune more than ten years later. At that time, Fu Zhenzhen was already a mother. As a child bride, she insisted on marrying the other side. Maybe his family could not agree with him, but their sense of Fu Zhenzhen was unquestionably not good.
Especially his second sister, she was originally taboo about this, just being a little sister to get along with, she would be a generous older sister, but as a sister-in-law, she was unmistakably the kind of difficult sister-in-law who did not explain.
Yan Chu was not the original self. He could not be indifferent to several elder sisters who sincerely invested in him, and could not take Fu Zhenzhen, who became his wife, to live in Beijing and stayed away from his sisters all his life.
Secondly, he was the only son of Yan Changxi and his wife. In the future, they would certainly live with him. Although both of them were honest people, honest people might not be able to watch their promising son turned around and married a child bride who was not very popular in the countryside.
Contradictions always accumulated more and more deeply. When Fu Yugui came back with his meritorious service, the contradictions that had been accumulated for several years would never disappear because Fu Zhenzhen had become the general’s sister. Maybe there would be more problems.
Fu Zhenzhen’s temperament was too soft, too simple, the one who suitable for her was equally gentle and kind, and had a simple family background.
Yan Chu thought about his position on Fu Zhenzhen.
An elder brother, the elder brother who existed instead of Fu Yugui.
