    Liu Fulang had already received news that they had returned and were waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

    Seeing them coming in, he quickly greeted them happily: "Brother Yu, Cheng Si..."

    Seeing that face full of anticipation, joy and concern, Ji Yu's mood became even better. He hugged Liu Fulang and smiled, "Mother, we are back."

    The mother and son happily went to the hall to talk hand in hand, while An Si quietly followed behind, watching over Brother Yu.

    Isn't it normal for a mother to react like this when a child returns?

    Excited, happy...

    There are endless things to say, ask them if they are cold, hungry and tired on the road, and ask them if things are going well...

    But what about mother?It's all about how uncomfortable I am, how unhappy I am, and then blame others...

    After Ji Yu An Si finished bathing and changing clothes, An Wu came and brought a tray of food: "Fourth Brother-in-law, husband, are you hungry? Eat quickly."

    Ji Yu bowed to him: "Thank you Xiao Wu Zhou Xuan."

    An Wu smiled embarrassedly: "It's just a few words, it's nothing compared to the life-saving grace of my sister-in-law."

    Seeing An Wu being so understanding and reasonable, Liu Fulang's high hanging heart dropped to the ground.

    I also want to thank An Wu.

    Seeing Mother An's sarcastic attitude these days, he thought he would make things difficult for Brother Yu!

    I didn't think about it, but didn't blame a single word.

    It's all thanks to An Wu's uncle!

    Seeing Brother An Family talking about what happened in Huaishan this time, he quickly withdrew.

    An Si didn't want to talk about what happened in the past few days, but Xiao Wu couldn't stop asking, so he had to talk about meeting Mr. Zhuang's father and daughter on the way, the yamen servants ambushing them and trying to kill them, and the interrogation by the Huaishan County Magistrate.

    Seeing that they had suffered so many things, An Wu was startled.

    "Xin County Magistrate and Dafang really don't change their nature."

    After hearing that the Lord State Governor asked them to let Xin County Magistrate go, An Wu was furious again. He punched the table and said through gritted teeth, "It's unreasonable..."

    Before they finished talking, Liu Fulang entered the main room carrying a bundle: "Brother Cheng Siyu, I owe to Xiaowu's care these few days. Now that you are back, I will go back."

    Just as Ji Yu was about to persuade him, An Si first spoke to persuade him to stay: "Mother, I live here, in the East courtyard. With you here, Brother Yu is also at ease. As for other people's affairs, you don't need to pay attention to them at all."

    Liu Fulang is naturally unwilling, how can there be any reason to live in the son-in-law's house for a long time?

    But he also knew that if he insisted on going home, the An family would have to send some people to protect his safety.

    He didn't want to drag An Family down, so he gritted his teeth and stayed.

    Fortunately, in the following days, hardly saw Mother An making a fuss.

    Cheng Si either bows and shoots arrows or reads and writes every day. Brother Yu either talks with him or reads and writes every day. Even An Wu will come to greet him every day, gossip, and even come to visit.His son's Boss Tong is also very enthusiastic about him.

    He gradually became less uncomfortable.

    Of course, this is all for later.

    After Mother An returned to the East Wing with the burden, Brother An Family continued the topic that had been interrupted before.

    "Fourth brother." An Wu was still very angry in his heart: "They are simply deceiving people too much. The Xin murdered my brother more than once, and just let it go?"

    An Si comforted him and said: "The white body without power and power is naturally the result. Rather than getting angry like this, you might as well work hard and join me in the imperial examination."

    Hearing about the imperial examination, An Wu immediately froze: "Fourth brother, if the previous martial arts exams were similar, now the martial arts exams still require written exams, four books and five classics, and policy theory, I really can't do it!"

    An Si said indifferently: "Why not? From today onwards, Wu Wo will supervise you, and Wen, your sister-in-law husband Lang will supervise the two of us."

    Ji Yu: "..."

    Wen asked him to supervise?Is this inappropriate?

    "Sister-in-law?" An Wu was also taken aback, shouldn't a gentleman be hired for things like reading?

    An Si snorted: "Don't underestimate your sister-in-law Fulang, the Four Books and Five Classics are better than your husband."

    Ji Yu: "..."

    Didn't just talk about "Mencius" with fourth brother before going to bed yesterday?

    Is he that good?

    When Tong Jingyuan heard the news of An Si's return, he hurried over. He hadn't inquired about what happened to them along the way, but when he heard that An Wu was going to take the imperial examination, his heart tightened.

    At first, he was silent and didn't speak, as if he didn't want to take the An Wu imperial examination, but when An Si glanced over coldly, he had to change his words: "Xiao Wu, this is a good thing! Don't worry, I will fully support you, I will take care of the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.”

    An Wu really didn't want to take the imperial examination and was still struggling. He didn't expect that just after Tong Jingyuan left, the patriarch came again.

    The man blew his beard and stared at An Siyi for a lesson: "Okay, An Chengsi, I agreed to come to hear the news the next day, but where did you go? I told you that you can't dodge it on the first day of the junior high school."fifteen……"

    An Si said coldly: "Patriarch, you forced me to not mention Dafang's murder of our brother, but did Dafang promise you that he would never murder us again?"

    "What bastard talk?" The patriarch retorted without even thinking about it: "As the head of the clan, I can't guarantee this?"

    An Si took out the testimony and spread it out for the patriarch to see: "What about this? This is what you call hearing the second day, the County Magistrate of Huaishan County personally interrogated the testimony signed by the prisoner. It is written in black and white.Kill our husband and wife on the way."

    The patriarch stared at the testimony dumbfounded, then at him again, and finally walked away with a dark face and flicked his sleeves.

    Although the patriarch left, An Wu was still very angry, and immediately changed his mind: "Fourth brother, I will take the imperial examination!"

    If his family doesn't change, he will be oppressed forever.But he never wanted to live such a life of being bullied.

    These two brothers are not just talking, they really started to work hard.

    Every day he got up early in the morning to practice martial arts, and when he was tired, Ji Yu hurriedly arranged the Four Books and Five Classics of Art of War, and when he got bored, he continued to practice martial arts.

    Of course, no matter how big the An family's yard is, they can't run horses. They can only practice flat shooting with swords and swords first, and then go to the suburbs to practice riding and shooting when they have the opportunity.

    The An family brothers were busy all the time, and Ji Yu was not idle either. He had to prepare and teach lessons and write scripts every day.

    Fortunately, he doesn't have to do housework now, and has more time to do what he wants to do.

    In less than a month, finished the last volume of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

    This time, Tong Jingyuan no longer frowned and squeezed his eyes and nose together, but read the script with a smile all the way, then patted his thigh and said: "Very good! This ending is good!"

    He took out another bag of silver and handed it to Ji Yu, and said haha: "Sister-in-law, this is a moistening pen."

    Ji Yu quickly waved his hand: "Brother Jingyuan, didn't you just say it! Write it for you for free."|

    Jingyuan insisted: "Thanks to my sister-in-law, I made a small fortune from this "A Chinese Ghost Story". This is what my sister-in-law deserves."

    Ji Yu shook his head and said, "We agreed, I'll write a script for you for free."

    Tong Jingyuan continued to insist: "Sister-in-law, husband, this story has helped me earn more than five hundred taels of silver."

    He whispered triumphantly again, "It's more money than my father earned in three years."

    Ji Yu's An Family brothers were all taken aback.

    An Wu said in disbelief, "Is this how you really make money?"

    "Yeah!" Tong Jingyuan put the money bag on the table, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile: "Yesterday, people from the capital came to me to discuss cooperation. It's 50-50, with a guarantee of two thousand taels of silver..."

    "Oh! I've been printing scripts for so many years, and I've been making small troubles. I never thought that there would be such a day of making a fortune."

    Then he clasped his hands to Ji Yu who was stunned, "Sister-in-law, what you said before doesn't count, we will continue to cooperate, you continue to write, I continue to print, it's easy to discuss how to retouch the pen."

    Ji Yu closed his mouth that was opened wide in surprise, and looked at An Si.

    He should have kept his promise, but he was shamefully moved.

    An Si smiled lightly, and held Ji Yu's hand tightly: "Brother Jingyuan, the scriptures were written by Brother Yu, so you should have a brush. But we have to pay back the money you collected for our brother."

    Seeing that Tong Jingyuan wanted to refuse, An Si waved his hand to stop him and said, "Brother Jing Yuan, don't refuse. I will deliver the money to the mansion myself in a few days."

    An Si's aura has always been compelling, he waved his hand to stop, even if Tong Jingyuan wanted to refuse, he couldn't refuse.

    After An Si finished speaking, An Wu pushed him outside again: "Brother Jingyuan, let's go to my yard for a drink."

    Seeing An Wu's handsome face and bright smile, Tong Jingyuan immediately couldn't remember anything, and just happily followed An Wu out of the East courtyard.

    It happened to be snowing that day, and the two of them sat on the couch by the window, grilled over a charcoal fire, and enjoyed the snow scene outside while drinking.

    An Wu said that drinking is really drinking, but Tong Jingyuan hid his small thoughts and was restless.

    He didn't sit honestly, he insisted on sitting by An Wu's side: "Xiao Wu, the wind is a bit strong, it's not so cold with you blocking it."

    An Wu put down his wine glass: "Then I'll close the window."

    "No." Tong Jingyuan quickly refused.Close the window, so how can he have an excuse to squeeze together with Xiao Wu?

    "If you turn it off, you won't be able to enjoy such a beautiful snow scene."

    An Wu was noncommittal, he is a rough guy, he really doesn't understand how beautiful snow is?

    However, since Brother Jingyuan likes it, let's drive it!

    The two were drinking and talking about the script, while talking, Tong Jingyuan picked up the topic of emotion: "Xiao Wu, you are not young anymore, and the filial piety period has passed, have you ever thought about finding a wife?"?”

    An Wu drank the wine in his glass, nodded and said, "I've thought about it, but now is not the time, let's talk about it after the imperial examination."

    Tong Jingyuan's heart suddenly felt sour, and he asked tentatively, "Then what do you want to find?"

    An Wu thought for a while, and said, "Like my sister-in-law, Fu Lang, who is capable of writing and martial arts, combining strength and softness."

    Tong Jingyuan's heart tightened. Doesn't Xiao Wu like his sister-in-law?

    "Then your request is a bit high."

    An Wu poured another glass of wine: "I also think it's a bit high."

    He has lived for so many years, and he has only met his sister-in-law.

    "It doesn't have to be that my sister-in-law is so capable, as long as she has a cheerful and generous temper, and is not so small-minded and narrow-minded."

    Tong Jingyuan deliberately said: "I think Miss Zhuang fits what you said."
