Jiang Shan's brain was still spinning. How did Fu Qiyuan just do that? He didn't see it clearly. Should he ask again?
"Mother! Mother!" Jiang Huai's excited shout brought Jiang Shan back to reality.
Then I saw the little girl standing on tiptoe, holding the assembled spider above her head, and struggling to hand it to her.
"Zhu Zhu! Mother, Zhu Zhu!" Jiang Huai's high-pitched voice was filled with unparalleled excitement, and her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescent moons.
Is it all installed?
"Wow! You installed it yourself? Whose son is so capable!"
Jiang Shan took the spider and squatted down in front of Jiang Huai, happily pinching his son's little face, having long forgotten the idea of making his presence known.
"Tell your mother, whose son is this handsome and smart man?" Jiang Shan asked sweetly, as if he had been coated with honey.
Jiang Huai puffed out his little belly, hugged Jiang Shan's neck, and chuckled sweetly, "Fairy Fairy Goose!"
"Haha, that's right!" Jiang Shan felt incredibly warm inside and gently rubbed his head against Jiang Huai's chest.
Jiang Huai laughed and chuckled, then hugged Jiang Shan's head and patted it. The mother and son played together playfully.
Fu Qiyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and several thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
He thought of something about the Fu family.
When the old patriarch of the Fu family first sent someone to see him, he made it clear that he would not let him be left alone in the capital. The eldest son and grandson of the Fu family must accept the direct teachings of the Fu family!
The Fu family are people in the martial arts world, passing down their martial arts skills from generation to generation. Over the years, they have only produced one "scoundrel," Fu Ting, who is unwilling to learn martial arts and is only interested in officialdom. Therefore, the Fu family has not had any contact with this unfilial son for many years, as if they have severed ties.
Three years ago, when Fu Qiyuan returned to the Ministry of Rites, Fu Ting sent a letter to the Fu family, and that's how they started communicating again.
The Fu family has a strong backing, at least in terms of power, but that's enough for Fu Qiyuan!
In the words of the old patriarch of the Fu family, Huai'er seems to be more like a member of the Fu family bloodline!
Hmm, I'll bring An Yi over to play with Huai'er later. If he strengthens his muscles and bones when he's young, he won't suffer in the future.
Encouraged by Jiang Shan, Jiang Huai became increasingly enthusiastic about taking the toys apart and putting them back together, taking them apart and putting them back together again. When he couldn't put them back together after taking them apart, his father would help him, and when he successfully put them back together, his mother would encourage him. He was extremely happy.
Jiang Huai had no idea that his happiness for the day was about to be upgraded. That evening, Fu Qiyuan knocked on Jiang Shan's door, and after a few words about Jiang Huai, he successfully climbed into Jiang Shan's bed.
Fu Qiyuan's wound still looked quite gruesome, so after Jiang Shan found out the reason, he didn't have time to think much and took the initiative to invite Fu Qiyuan to bed.
There's a little voice in my heart pounding away, shouting "No, no, no!" and another little voice in my head desperately yelling, "They're doing this for your son's education! Raising a child is the hardest thing ever..."
After a brief internal struggle, Jiang Shan felt relieved.
At this moment, Fu Qiyuan had a sickly beauty about him. His face was already handsome, but the paleness from excessive blood loss made it look even more delicate.
Hot drinks were served, snacks were prepared, and even a unique cushion was provided for him.
"Are you sure your injury is alright?" Jiang Shan asked, sitting down on the chair by the bed.
Fu Qiyuan gently stroked his son's sleeping face with one hand and drank the hot drink Jiang Shan had made for him with the other. He felt extremely comfortable, and the slight throbbing in his chest was nothing at all.
"My injury is fine. I want to find two masters for Huai'er. What do you think?" Fu Qiyuan went straight to the point, his goal was simple.
Jiang Shan's eyes widened slightly. "He's only one year old. What can he learn? Should we find two teachers to take care of him?"
Fu Qiyuan smiled meaningfully and said, "It's not necessarily a bad thing for him to grow up playing properly. He has Mr. Xunmei for his academic studies, and I'd like to find him a martial arts master and a craftsman. Huai'er is naturally strong, so a martial arts master can teach him to strengthen his muscles and bones and improve his health; a craftsman can cultivate his interests and thinking. With his behavior and thinking coordinated, given time..."
"I agree!" Jiang Shan raised his hand to answer quickly. "I've also noticed these characteristics of Jiang Huai. If we can really find a suitable mentor, I won't have to worry about him losing at the starting line!"
Starting line... Fu Qiyuan pondered these words carefully and smiled, "Very good! I will arrange it, but as for Mother... Mother dotes on Huai'er, and learning martial arts is not an easy thing. I'm afraid Mother will try her best to stop it."
Jiang Shan said softly, "We'll be going back to Yuzhou in a few days. Mother doesn't want to come back with us; she wants to stay in town."
She couldn't see her beloved grandson being subjected to all sorts of rigorous training by Master Wu.
A strange light flashed in Fu Qiyuan's eyes as he said, "Could we wait a few more days? I mean, I have to personally see you and your child off, but my injuries..."
Yes, this injury is quite troublesome; it will take at least half a month to recover before I can travel long distances by carriage.
The imperial edict should arrive in half a month.
Jiang Shan replied without hesitation, "Of course!"
Fu Qiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, his joy from the inside out was undisguised, and he looked at Jiang Shan with such delight and passion that Jiang Shan dared not look him in the eye.
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not an ungrateful person, nor am I someone who doesn't know what's good for me. If anyone had risked their life to help me like this, I would have given them whatever they wanted..."
"Is that so?" Fu Qiyuan stared intently at Jiang Shan's slightly reddened earlobes. "But I'm not someone I'd risk my life for just anyone. My mother says I'm selfish and cold-hearted, my grandmother says I'm heartless, and the Pei family says I'm ruthless and disregard family ties and ethics. What I care about is what I cherish as my own life!"
Jiang Shan twisted his fingers, unsure how to reply.
When it comes to romantic relationships, she lacks acting skills. Theory and practice are clearly two different things. She can use her words to gain some small advantages, but she can't truly invest genuine emotions. To be honest, she's not ready yet.
She truly realized the gap between herself and Fu Qiyuan. Even though she had feelings for him now, she couldn't promise him anything.
Moreover, Fu Qiyuan had been too good to Jiang Huai; he had completely treated Jiang Huai like his own son. The more this was the case, the less she could make promises lightly; she didn't want to confuse gratitude with affection.
Fu Qiyuan didn't want to trouble Jiang Shan any further, so he slowly got out of bed and returned to his room, leaving Jiang Shan with a lonely and frail background.
Along with the bestowal of titles and honors upon him in the capital, Fu Qiyuan was also given a transfer order.
Fu Qiyuan, the magistrate of Guyang County, was promoted to Prefect of Yuzhou for his meritorious service in suppressing pirates, and was to take up his post at a later date.
The seventh-rank official was promoted to the fourth-rank official in one fell swoop, a jump of five ranks!
After Jiang Shan understood the rank and authority of this official, he clapped enthusiastically.
A high-ranking official's secretary! I can definitely get close to this powerful figure!
Jiang Shan watched with delight as Fu Shu stuffed a heavy bag of silver into the hands of the eunuch delivering the imperial decree, but then belatedly realized a problem.
The Prefect of Yuzhou...it's Yuzhou!
