Chapter 248 Wild Geese Flying
Since Ji Yunzhan went to take the examination for the title of Tongsheng, he has not returned home for two or three months.
When he returned home, it was already the end of May.
At this time, Li had already given birth to a chubby son for Cen Dahai!
"Brother Ji? You're back!" When Cen Yan saw Ji Yunzhan, she was playing with her newborn brother in the house. When she turned around and saw him looking at her with a smile on his face, she immediately walked forward with surprise.
"Xiaoyan, how have you been recently?" Ji Yunzhan walked forward anxiously.
He was gone for several months, and what he was most concerned about was not the exam, but his family.
Cen Yan laughed when she heard this: "Everything is fine at home, come and see, my mother gave birth to another little brother for me, he is so cute!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him towards the bed.
Seeing that she was still the same as before and treated him very close, Ji Yunzhan couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid that after not seeing her for a few months, she would become distant towards him.
"Yunzhan is back. How did you do in the exam?" Li was still in confinement and had a headband on her head, but she looked very healthy, probably because Cen Yan took such good care of her. At this moment, she looked at Ji Yunzhan with a kind smile on her face and asked.
"Mom, Brother Ji just came back and hasn't even had a sip of water yet. How can you ask this?" Cen Yan said angrily.
"Yes, Xiaoyan, please pour Yunzhan a glass of water to moisten his throat..." When Li heard this, she thought that Cen Yan was afraid that Ji Yunzhan would not do well in the exam and made him sad, so she hurriedly said.
"It's okay. I brought a water bag with me on the way and drank some." Ji Yunzhan stopped Cen Yan who was busy pouring water for her, walked a few steps to the bed, and said softly, "Can I see your brother?"
"Of course, I'll hold him in my arms and show him." Cen Yan smiled, walked to the bedside, picked up her baby brother and showed him.
"So cute, the eyes are very similar to Uncle Dahai's." Ji Yunzhan looked at the fair and tender little baby. He seemed to be sleepy at the moment, with his eyes opening and closing. But as if because there were strangers around, he forced himself to be alert, opening his eyes wide, trying to see clearly what the big brother in front of him, whom he had yet to meet, looked like.
"Yes, the nose and mouth are similar too." Cen Yan looked at his second brother with a heart full of admiration, and then commented.
"It is very similar." Ji Yunzhan agreed in a gentle voice.
On the side, Cen Yang looked at the two of them holding their brother with a happy smile on their faces, and couldn't help but say: "Sister, Brother Ji, you are holding your brother, you look like a young couple holding your newborn baby!"
"...Xiao Yang! Stop talking nonsense!" Cen Yan was stunned when he heard that, and then his face turned red.
Ji Yunzhan was also slightly stunned, but soon he smiled happily and turned to look at Cen Yan with a special tenderness in his eyes.
Cen Yan felt his gaze and her cheeks became even redder.
Cen Yang covered his mouth and giggled.
Li was sitting on the bed watching this scene, naturally her face was full of smiles.
But she won't break this layer of window paper.
One of them was feeling awkward while the other happily teased the baby for a while.
"By the way, has your second brother chosen a name? What's his name?" Ji Yunzhan suddenly remembered this and asked.
"We've chosen a name." Cen Yan's eyes were full of tenderness. "It's Cen Fei. My father chose it before. He said that no matter if it's a son or a daughter, we should all be named this."
“Cen Fei… Cen Yan… Cen Yang… Yan Feiyang? What great names!” Ji Yunzhan repeated the names of the three siblings, and then couldn’t help but sigh, “Your father really cares deeply about you.”
"That's right." Cen Yan thought of Cen Dahai and nodded with some worry.
Yan Feiyang, there is no need to mention the high hopes placed in this name.
However, he has been away from home for almost a year, and there is still no news from him.
Seeing her look depressed, Ji Yunzhan knew that she was missing Cen Dahai, so he quickly changed the subject: "By the way, I came back this time because I have something to discuss with you."
"You want to discuss something with me? What is it?" Cen Yan asked.
"How about we go out and talk?" Ji Yunzhan said.
"Okay." Cen Yan thought for a moment and put Cen Fei next to Li. "Mom, I'm going to go out and talk to Brother Ji about some business. I'll ask Sister Zhang to come over and look after you for a while."
"No need for that. You can ask Mrs. Zhang to prepare the meal. Xiao Yang will be here to talk to me." Mrs. Li said.
Mrs. Zhang was the one Cen Yan had invited to take care of Li. Ji Yunzhan knew her, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He followed Cen Yan to the house where he had lived before.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that it was spotless and all the furnishings were exactly the same as before he left home.
This surprised him a little, but he was also touched.
"I've always thought that if you come back, it would be convenient for me to stay here, so I asked Mrs. Zhang to come over every day to visit me." Seeing him blankly looking at everything in the room, Cen Yan explained casually, sat down on a master's chair, and looked at him curiously, "Brother Ji, what do you want to discuss with me? Is it about business, or about your study at the academy?"
"How did you guess so right?" Ji Yunzhan was a little surprised when she mentioned going to the academy. "How did you know I could go to the academy? You didn't even think about what if I didn't pass the exam?"
"How is that possible!" However, Cen Yan said firmly, "If even you can't pass the exam, then no one else can pass it!"
She believed in herself so much...
Ji Yunzhan was greatly surprised.
He recalled that she had persuaded him to take the imperial examination and pursue a career in government, and that she had believed in him as well, and he felt a special kind of comfort in his heart.
"You're right. I got the first place in this examination. Now I have the title of scholar. The most important thing now is which academy to study in." Ji Yunzhan nodded with a smile and said.
"Well, are several academies trying to win you over and want you to go to their academies? You can't make up your mind which one to go to? So that's why you want to come back and talk to me?" Cen Yan asked.
“Not much. Each of these academies was extremely sincere and sent me many gifts. One of them even gave me a house, which was a huge gift.” Ji Yunzhan said, but there was no pride in his expression, as if this kind of thing was very common.
But this is indeed very normal for the first time every year.
Being able to get first place means that you are much better than others and have a brighter future.
Naturally, people compete for talents. Others have to worry about which academy will choose them, while he has to worry about which academy to choose. This has always been the case.
