Yan Cheng, who was far away in Yulin Prefecture, had no idea that several people in the capital were thinking about him, and even if he knew, he would not care.
He actually holds a grudge a bit. If someone offends him, that person will definitely be put on his blacklist.
If that person wants to be removed from the blacklist, you have to satisfy him, otherwise no matter how you please him, he will not release him from the blacklist.
Unfortunately, among the five sons of the second branch of the Yan family, except Yan Su, the other four are on Yan Cheng's blacklist.
They didn't do anything. Every time they saw Yan Cheng, they would go up to him and sneer at him, saying that he was an orphan without parents and could only survive by relying on their Yan family.
That's true.
But they were not the ones who raised him, and their parents hadn't said anything yet, but they were eager to jump around.
It was just like that at first, but later they went even further, saying that he was a dog raised by the Yan family and had to listen to them, otherwise they would ask the adults to kick him out.
Humph, it’s not their turn to decide on this matter. His parents never said they wanted to kick him out.
Even though he later used some small tricks to deal with a few naughty kids, the narrow-minded and vindictive Yan Cheng still decisively put them on the blacklist.
What do children say without restraint?
Come on, three of the four people are older than him, and the youngest is only two years younger than him.
The only person not on Yan Cheng's blacklist is Yan Su. Yan Cheng even has a good impression of Yan Su. He thinks that he is somewhat similar to his elder brother Yan Zhuo.
They are all true gentleman types.
Compared to Yan Su's younger brother Yan Wen, Yan Cheng always felt that Yan Zhuo and Yan Su, who were of the same age as Yan Wen, were more like brothers, both in appearance and temperament.
Yan Cheng was once very curious about how the second branch of the family managed to produce good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo. Later, he asked his parents indirectly about the past of the Yan family and finally understood why Yan Su was so unique.
It turns out that when Old Master Yan was still alive, he had personally taught Yan Su. This was normal, after all, Yan Su was the eldest grandson.
Later, when Old Master Yan passed away, Yan Su returned to the second house.
The contrast with Yan Su's extraordinaryness naturally highlights the ordinariness of the other sons of the second wife. Therefore, both the second wife and her husband place their hopes of revitalizing the family on Yan Su.
It’s a pity that his cousin is a bit unlucky.
Yan Cheng thought that this man was extremely unlucky. He was thrown into jail on charges of cheating in the imperial examination just for having a casual meal with someone.
After entering the cell, he was first beaten and then failed to receive timely medical treatment, which completely ruined his health. Even after he was released from prison, he completely lost the qualification to take the imperial examination.
Everything that Yan Su encountered came too suddenly, and his body was destroyed too quickly, as if someone deliberately wanted to ruin his official career.
From Yan Guangyi to Yan Cheng, everyone suspected that there was something fishy going on. However, their Yan family did not have any particularly useful connections in the capital, and after investigating, they found nothing.
This matter had to be left unresolved, and Yan Su was naturally unlucky.
But Yan Cheng still felt sorry for him. He had clearly passed the provincial examination and only needed to take the palace examination to be on the list of successful candidates.
It can be seen that the thing that is most abundant in this world is impermanence.
Yan Cheng thought about the impermanence of life and then thought about Mrs. Kang who passed away suddenly some time ago, and he was not in a good mood.
When they met for the last time, Mrs. Kang still had a rosy complexion and smiled as she asked her friends to take care of Kang Jing.
In the blink of an eye, Mrs. Kang...
"Master, Master Kang is here."
Kang Jing? Why is he here?
"Please ask him to come in."
The sun was at its highest point in the sky, and Kang Jing must have something important to say when he came. Yan Cheng straightened his moon-white robe and went to the main hall. Not long after, he saw Kang Jing.
However, at first glance, Yan Cheng could hardly recognize that the thin young man walking towards him was Kang Jing.
As the only legitimate son of Kang Tongzhi, Kang Jing was born into wealth and luxury. He could get whatever he wanted with just a word. The reason why he was not raised as a playboy was entirely due to Mrs. Kang's rationality.
Kang Jing has a big hobby, which is eating. Yan Cheng and Kang Jing first met because of eating.
Yan Cheng loved eating in both his lives. His family had many cooks, and he had created many modern dishes since he was a child. He disliked the food in the school and often asked people to bring him food.
One time, when he was having a meal, he bumped into Kang Jing. The fragrant dishes instantly attracted Kang Jing, and then they became friends.
Yan Cheng has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Due to his daily consumption and being in the growth stage, he can't gain weight no matter how much he eats. But Kang Jing is different.
Kang Jing is a pure scholar. Although he is still in the growth stage, he can't bear to eat every day, so he was actually a slightly fat and round boy in the past.
And now...
"Brother Jing, you've lost too much weight."
It had only been a dozen days, and he looked like he had lost more than ten pounds. Yan Cheng ordered someone to bring Kang Jing his favorite snacks, "Have you not been eating well recently?"
Kang Jing smiled bitterly: "I really can't eat it."
"You have to eat it, though. How can Aunt Kang be at ease with you like this?" Yan Cheng poured him a cup of tea. "In the past, Aunt Kang was most worried about you. Do you still want to keep her from sleeping peacefully?"
At noon, the snacks were always prepared in the kitchen, just waiting for Yan Cheng to say that he wanted to eat them. Now that he said it, the snacks were quickly placed on the table.
Yan Cheng advised Kang Jing to eat something, otherwise he would not even have the strength to walk. Under his persuasion, Kang Jing reluctantly ate two pieces of snacks to fill his stomach.
After that, no matter how much Yan Cheng tried to persuade him, he refused to continue eating. He was anxious to talk to Yan Cheng about something, and Yan Cheng had no choice but to pour him a cup of tea and let him drink some water before talking.
After Kang Jing finished his snack, he took a big sip of tea. His lips were no longer so dry after being moistened by the water. Yan Cheng had just seen his chapped lips and couldn't believe how long it had been since he had had a drink of water.
