Chapter 79 Snow on the Eaves (2) Entering the House

Seeing this, Yan Huinan raised his hand to push Xie Run away and slowly walked towards Xie Yun. He put on a gentle smile and deliberately ignored Wen Yao who was greeting him: "Thank you, Boss Yun."

He didn't need to answer everyone who spoke to him. Even more so, Wen Yao, among those who went to great lengths to meet Yan Huinan, would have to sit at the back of the queue.

Xie Yun turned her eyes away from his smile that was so bright that it was unfamiliar to her. "It's okay." After she said that, she carried Yan Lang and walked into the Jishan Hall.

Yan Huinan did not give up because of Xie Yun's indifference. Instead, he followed Xie Yun like a tail, "He likes you very much, even more than he likes me as his father."

Xie Yun didn't say anything.

Yan Huinan didn't let the conversation end, and continued attentively. He was already extremely happy to be able to talk to Xie Yun. "Usually, when someone wanted to hug him, he wouldn't let them touch him."

Yan Lang quickly echoed Yan Huinan, and like Yan Huinan, he also called his mother Boss Yun. He thought the title Boss Yun was very impressive, and he was very proud of his mother. "Yeah, Lang'er likes Boss Yun very much."

The soft and sticky little dumpling speaks in a serious and sincere manner.

Xie Yun was surprised and felt a little guilty when faced with Yan Lang's love for her.

How cruel was she to abandon him?

This little person, created from her flesh and blood, is a vivid and lively little person.

She regretted that she missed his growth.

Xie Yun raised her hand to rub Yan Lang's little head and found him a seat near the front. "Would you like to sit here with your brothers and sisters?"

Yan Lang is also very well-behaved. He sits wherever his mother tells him to sit!

"Okay!" His eyes lit up when he answered.

Xie Yun selected some very common-sense content and explained it to the children in the simplest and most understandable way, such as how to prevent colds when the seasons change. After explaining it, she asked random questions.

The child who answers correctly will receive a hand-sewn tiger head sachet as a reward. The sachet contains some herbs. Children are young and prone to illness, and these herbs have the effect of warming the body and fighting against cold evil. They also smell very fresh.

After explaining how to prevent colds, Xie Yun asked someone to take out some common medicinal herbs she had prepared in advance and teach the children how to identify them.

"Does anyone know what kind of medicinal herb this is?" Xie Yun took out a dried medicinal herb, which was the dried rhizome of a plant. She walked around under the seats with the medicinal herb and showed it to each child.

Most of these children had never seen dried medicinal herbs, and they all fell into deep thought after seeing them.

"Isn't this just a dead tree root? Can it be used as medicine?" a child asked.

"Yes." Everyone said in unison.

Another child came forward, grabbed the herbs in Xie Yun's hand, and examined them carefully, muttering, "Hmm... I've never seen them before."

Xie Yun asked again: "Besides the children, is there anyone else here who knows the answer? Feel free to answer."

Everyone was silent for a while.

Yan Huinan recognized the medicinal herbs the moment he saw them. Long illness is the true path to becoming a doctor. Not only had he himself been ill for years, but during the years he cared for Yan Lang, Yan Huinan personally took care of many things, from the smallest details like dressing, feeding, and getting sick, to the biggest details like his future and education. He did everything he could.

If Yan Lang had a minor illness, even if the imperial physician came, he would still learn how to take care of the child.

He was uneasy about leaving Yan Lang to anyone else.

Even Li Wei, who already has two children, said he was too cautious.

However, Yan Huinan spared no effort in training Yan Lang. He never coddled Yan Lang, because he knew that Yan Lang was not only his child, but also an independent person. A flower that is too delicate will break and bend easily, and cannot withstand the wind and frost.

Yan Lang was not like that. He was even stronger than Yan Huinan expected.

Yan Huinan didn't tell the answer because he knew that Yan Lang could remember it.

As expected, Yan Lang's eyes were fixed on the medicinal herbs in Xie Yun's hand, and he was concentrating on recalling that he had seen this kind of medicinal herbs before.

Xie Yun knew that identifying medicinal herbs was a rather difficult task, so she did not hold out much hope. However, since it was autumn now and it was a good opportunity to collect these herbs, she took them.

"If no one knows, I will reveal the answer..." As soon as Xie Yun finished speaking, Yan Lang suddenly raised his hand high.

“Is this Clematis?”

Xie Yun looked at Yan Lang in surprise. No one had even said what this was, but Yan Lang had just said it. She had never thought that Yan Lang would know.

Who taught him?

Is Yan Huinan?

Her surprised gaze shifted from Yan Lang to Yan Huinan, who was sitting in the back row. Sure enough, he was supporting his chin with one hand, with a proud smile on his lips, without any expression of surprise, as if he had expected Yan Lang to be able to answer this question.

Xie Yun was lost in thought, as if she were back in her childhood, at the Imperial Academy, where she and Yan Huinan had spent a year together. Back then, Yan Huinan was a playboy and a misbehaved man, neglecting his studies and often sleeping in class or chatting with others in the back.

At that time, the most troublesome person for the Imperial College doctors was Yan Huinan. He was always the one who got into trouble and made mistakes. Whenever he disrupted the learning atmosphere in class, the doctors would order him to stand outside as punishment.

When Xie Yun turned around, she would see his smug yet expected nonchalant expression. He even winked at Xie Yun to tease her.

A few years ago, Xie Yun would occasionally see the shadow of Yan Huinan in Wen Yao, who was the same age as her.

Thinking of this, Xie Yun quickly withdrew her thoughts and turned to ask Yan Lang: "Lang'er is so smart! Then I want to ask, how did you determine that it was Clematis?"

Yan Lang pointed at the thin roots on the surface of the Clematis chinensis and said, "Father and the... the palace doctor have taught me a little bit about this herb. I've seen this herb before. Father always uses it to make decoctions. It has many whiskers around it, like the wooden hedgehog father carved for me. But its roots are thicker than hedgehog spines. And when you just passed by, Lang'er leaned in to smell it, and it smelled spicy. Lang'er doesn't like the smell."

When he mentioned that he didn't like the taste, he couldn't help but frown. He almost said "imperial physician" just now, but luckily he remembered in time. His father said that he couldn't reveal his identity in public, so he quickly changed it to "house physician".

But Xie Yun could naturally understand what he was hesitant to say.

Clematis root has analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, and can dispel rheumatism, treating rheumatic pain and difficulty flexing and stretching. Today, Yan Huinan also had a pain-relieving plaster wrapped around his finger joints.

He always uses it to make medicine... When did his finger joints become so damaged?

A man in his prime, yet his fingers suffered from the rheumatic pain of an old man. Had his hands ever been injured? Yan Huinan had been on the march for years, fighting in battles and sustaining numerous injuries. Perhaps his fingers... were also the source of this.

Xie Yun brought out a medical book and the tiger sachet and handed them to Yan Lang. "You are very good and what you said is correct."

After saying that, Xie Yun took out a plant of Clematis chinensis, which had slender opposite leaves and a small white flower on the top. The stamens were clustered. Then Xie Yun began to explain how to identify whether it was Clematis chinensis.

Yan Lang had only seen the medicinal herbs that Xie Yun had taken at the beginning, so when Xie Yun was introducing the appearance of the plants, he listened attentively.

Later, Xie Yun would bring out some medicinal herbs that could be gathered in the fall and ask questions. Yan Lang was always the only child who could answer. Some he could say, some he couldn't, but whatever he could say was always correct.

He is so steady at such a young age, and never tries to be competitive to win attention and praise from others.

It was already evening when the lecture ended.

Xie Yun's explanation was universally praised. She stood at the door and said goodbye to everyone. Yan Lang, led by Yan Huinan, was the last to emerge. Xie Yun said goodbye to him reluctantly.

Yan Lang smiled and hugged Xie Yun, saying, "Boss Yun's talk was very good. Lang'er really benefited from it."

After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Xie Yun and said goodbye to her.

When saying goodbye, Yan Lang seemed to be in a good mood.

Yan Huinan kept a close eye on Xie Yun's expression. "Yanyan, you must love our child too. He's so sensible, well-behaved, and smart. You must be reluctant to part with him. We have a long way to go."

Xie Yun knew that Yan Huinan was looking at her, so she deliberately avoided his gaze because she didn't want him to notice.

But Xie Yun's back was covered with sweat. Her love for Yan Lang was greater than she could control, and love was overflowing from her eyes.

It was only a matter of time before Yan Huinan found out.

-

Last night, they were in a hurry to go to the Wen Mansion, so Xie Yunxian and Wen Yao went back to their own home to pack some necessary things, and asked someone to load them into a car and quietly send them to the Wen Mansion. Then, they returned to the Wen Mansion together.

She specially selected some gifts and gave them to Wen's parents and Wen Yao's sister.

"My sister has always liked the perfume you make. She's sure to like the one you give her." Wen Yao said, "I apologize to you on her behalf for what she said and did today."

Xie Yun smiled: "It's okay. It's just a show, I won't take it to heart."

Her indifference and nonchalance caused Wen Yao's heart to ache. Xie Yun always had this indifferent attitude towards everything.

He could only take a deep breath and tell himself again, it’s okay, take it slow, there is a long way to go.

One day, she will see herself standing beside her.

When I arrived at the front hall, I met an unexpected person.

"Father and Mother, what...what's going on?" Wen Yao asked in surprise as he looked at Yan Huinan who was sitting leisurely in the living room and sipping tea.

Zhan Siyan said, "Your uncle has a batch of goods to be shipped in from our port. This person is here to receive the goods for your uncle. Yan Li will be staying in our house for the time being."

As Zhan Siyan was speaking, the little girl happily broke free from Yan Huinan's arms the moment she saw Xie Yun, jumped down, ran over to hug Xie Yun, and said with a smile: "Boss Yun, we meet again."

He rubbed his little nose against Xie Yun's dress and thought to himself, Mother, Lang'er can see you all the time again.

He liked the smell of his mother, which was very similar to the incense his father used to fumigate clothes. He felt as if he had his mother's company for a long time.

"Have you seen it?" Zhan Siyan asked in surprise.
