One or two branches of plum outside the bamboo

Chapter 13 Have You Heard Too Lexus?

The confined space does not disperse the smell at all. Yan Qingzhi has been in the carriage for so long, and the smell of feces has filled every corner of the carriage.

Yan Maoqiu was unprepared and broke his power instantly. He couldn't stop the loss in time by holding his breath on the spot. After putting down the curtain of the carriage, he stood beside the carriage and retched for a long time before recovering.

Because of this, he was even more annoyed at Yan Qingzhi in his heart!
Thinking of Old Man Yan's promise and explanation just now, he trembled all over, and his heart was full of powerlessness, so he could only take a deep breath and build himself up, he immediately held his breath and got into the carriage in two steps.

After entering, without saying a word, he opened the cotton curtain on the window and stretched out half of his head to breathe the fresh air.

Yan Laosan commanded the driver loudly while breathing.

"Let's go! Hurry up!"

Seeing this, Yan Qingzhi couldn't help sneering, she also rolled over and opened the curtain on her side, leaned out half of her body and looked at Old Man Yan who was standing not far away.

The old man Yan also looked at Yan Qingzhi, he seemed relieved, it was impossible for the two children to really prepare for something in such a few days.

If there is really a big man who can help these two children decide, it is impossible for them to not hear any rumors.

However, seeing Yan Qingzhi, his expression was still frozen for a moment. Even if this matter is resolved today, the shame and traces will always exist!

Yan Qingzhi didn't seem to be able to see the level of his eyebrows and eyes. Seeing that the old man's face was not good, he even waved goodbye to him, and by the way, he didn't forget to block him!
"Mr. Yan! Do you know Yu Lingzhi?"

The old man was stunned at first, feeling that the name was very familiar, but then he panicked.

Yu Lingzhi is the chief examiner of their county annual exam this year. I heard that this person is upright and upright.

He didn't understand what Yan Qingzhi asked him for!
The carriage slowly moved forward, and Yan Qingzhi's voice sounded again.

"Then do you know where my Uncle Zhuzi is now?"

The old man didn't know why, so he didn't answer, just squinted his eyes and watched the carriage move forward.

No matter what they are going to do, bringing Yan Qingzhu back is the most important thing right now.

Even if he doesn't let them die, he has many ways to make their life worse than death.

Yan Qingzhi smiled and grinned, revealing a row of cute little white teeth.

He didn't seem to have any intention of explaining these questions. Seeing the carriage turning, he smiled and lowered the curtains, leaving a large blank for the other party, making old man Yan think endlessly.

The old man felt that Yan Qingzhi's words should have deep meaning, but he didn't taste it for a while.

After carefully recalling the matter, I felt that I didn't seem to have anything to consider, so I returned to Yan's house with a frown.

The people of the Yan family suffered from this loss and were in a bad mood. Those long-term servants and servants also had their wages deducted because of the disadvantage of protecting the master.

The old man Yan took two hot baths and changed his clothes, and then he felt a lot calmer.

He sat quietly in front of the desk in the study, recalling Yan Qingzhi's actions just now.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Yan Qingzhi was deceiving him!

Not only the last words, he didn't even believe Yan Qingzhu's hanging, but he felt that the other party should not dare to do so.

His heart was split in half by Yan Qingzhi, one half was based on his contempt for the two children, and the other half was shocked by the real Yan Qingzhi's actions, from suspicion to worry ...

No matter what he thought in his heart, he felt that the other party was a child after all, and Yan Maoqiu had a righteous identity in his identity. Even if someone wanted to meddle in their own business, it was not easy to control their uncles. There would be no problems in this trip.

After all, the clan concept is strong now, and no one will offend the entire clan of the other party for a child they don't know...

But his worries still didn't dissipate. Yan Qingzhi's expression was too calm, and his calmness made him inexplicably feel that the other party had a backer, even in a place he didn't expect.

Although he can carry out his grandfather's money in front of outsiders, so that he can stand on the side of righteousness as much as possible, but Yan Maochun and Yan Maowen are not born to the same mother, the more he suppresses Yan Qingzhi and Yan Qingzhu, That is, the more he smeared Yan Maowen.

I didn't think of that just now, but the more time he sat in meditation, the more he began to struggle.

It is the most difficult for Youyou to talk, and he can't let Yan Maowen take the slightest risk.

In other words, he couldn't let anyone stop the Yan family's future!

He was closing his eyes and thinking when Yan Maowen hurriedly came to the study.

He is only sixteen years old this year, his hair is meticulously combed, his appearance is medium to upper, his stature is not tall, and his stature is relatively thin. Like an old man, he doesn't dress like a farmer at all.

He only knocked on the door twice and walked in. The old man Yan was a little annoyed at being disturbed, but when he saw him, he instantly put on a kind expression.

"Why is Melvin here?"

Yan Maowen stepped forward and saluted the old man Yan and followed.

"Father, I heard about what happened just now! I'm afraid there will be changes in this matter!"

Although old man Yan never let go, he subconsciously refuted when he heard his son say so.

"Don't worry about this, just prepare well for the exam, and leave the rest to the father!"

Seeing that old man Yan didn't take his words seriously, Yan Maowen seemed very anxious and didn't give a shit.

"The meaning of Yan Qingzhi's last words is that Li Zhuzi went to find Lord Yu! If their sister and brother really died here, even if it wasn't our family's fault, the blame would fall on our family. what!"

After hearing this, the old man's face changed, and he stood up immediately, his eyes were uncertain, but immediately, he calmed down.

Yan Maowen's age is approaching, these things should not distract him, he suppressed the trace of anxiety in his heart and said calmly.

"Impossible! Li Zhuzi is a fool. He listens to his mother's advice, and his mother can't let him take this risk!"

Although these words are comforting Yan Maowen, they are actually convincing himself, and Old Man Yan obviously succeeded.

As soon as the voice fell, his heart also fell back to his stomach.

Li Zhuzi is a well-known idiot in the village, and Li Pozi is an unprincipled one. If the two of them can go to redress the grievances of the Yan family sister and brother, he will not believe it ten thousand times!

Yan Maowen didn't understand this, but he knew that there must be no accident at this time.

"Father, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

Old Man Yan waved his hand, as if Zhizhu was holding it.

"Melvin, you are too young, you can't see what is important and what is important. The most important thing right now is to prepare for the exam!"

"Don't say that even if Master Yu is upright, it is impossible to conclude the case without asking for evidence."

"It is true that one day, others will know something, and who will offend such a young scholar like you for two dead people!"

Yan Maowen's eyes widened. It was the first time he heard such an instruction. He looked at the unfamiliar father behind the desk in shock, and couldn't react for a long time.

But the old man didn't feel that something was wrong because he revealed the truth to Yan Maowen.

In this world, if you want to succeed, who is not killed by thousands of troops!
Some are upright, some are treacherous...

For old man Yan, everyone can choose their own way of doing things. He can't stop Yan Maowen from moving forward. Some things are taught by him personally, which is better than being taught by outsiders.

"The proof is that those two children are alive. If they die, who can prove that they existed?"

Yan Maowen's world view seems to have been greatly impacted, after all he is only 16 years old.

The old man immediately comforted him.

"If you become an official in the future, what you see and do will be worse than what you are doing now. You have to ask yourself, do you want to live in this small village for the rest of your life, or do you want to stand in a higher place?"

"For the rest, I can do my best for your father, but you have to think clearly about this. There is still one month of trial. I will give you one day to think about it. At this time tomorrow, you will tell me your choice."

"If you don't want to take the test, then you don't have to go. If you want to get out of here and enter another world, you have to put your heart in your belly. As a father, I don't have any great skills, but the ability to let you take the test quietly There are still!"

Old man Yan may not know much about Yan Qingzhi, but he really knows Yan Maowen, his devoted son!
It was impossible for him to give up the imperial examination, which seemed like a choice, but in fact, as the youngest son of a small landlord, he had no chance to choose.

If he loses the trust and respect of the parent, Old Man Yan, he, a child without inheritance rights, will lose all his current privileges. The final result is just like all the villagers in the village, planting a few mu of thin fields and barely making a living!
What Old Man Yan gave him time to think about was not the outcome of the matter, but to make him think clearly about how he would lead to this outcome.

Some roads, of course, are more comfortable to be pushed by others than to take the initiative to walk on your own.

Yan Maowen squinted out of old man Yan's study and walked in the direction of his own study. His thoughts were pulled away by other things along the way, and he completely forgot what he said to old man Yan just now.

The old man Yan sent him away with a calm look, and after he could not see Yan Maowen, he hurriedly called people to come over, and told them not only to find the Yan family sister and brother, but also the two of the Li family.

By the way, they also arranged for someone to go all the way to Yu Lingzhi's office to find out if there is any news about the Li family's mother and son...

Because old man Yan took some time to wash up, Yan Qingzhi and Yan Maoqiu had already walked halfway when those people chased after them on horseback.

The village is not far from the county seat. It may take two or three hours to walk, but it is less than an hour's drive by horse-drawn carriage.

The carriage ran on the snow, bumped and slipped, and the smell in the car was not good, Yan Maoqiu started to get motion sickness after a while.

Yan Qingzhi didn't get much better either. It was also her first time riding a carriage, and she was hanging on the window. She tried her best to stay in shape.
