Su Ci followed the excited Su Yan out of the mansion, walked around a back alley, and entered a small house with two entrances behind the Su family's house.
It is said that Su Yan was doing very well outside. She had been promoted twice and had her own people and power. She even dared to secretly arrange someone under her parents' noses, and Su Di and Chen didn't know about it yet.
Su Yan waved her hand, and the gatekeeper opened the door gently. The two sisters entered the house. Su Ci pulled out a hairpin and poked a hole in the window screen, then leaned over to take a look.
There was a long-burning candle on the table, and a few books were placed on it. Beside the table sat a fair-skinned boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old. He was handsome but looked a little timid. He lowered his head to read a book, and then raised his head to look around the door, looking very uneasy.
Su Ci observed for a while. It was not that Su Yan picked the child randomly. The child looked timid, thin and weak but not sick. According to Su Yan, he had seen a doctor and was in good health. He would be fine after a period of recuperation.
He used to be the son of a scholar and had some family wealth, but unfortunately his family fell into poverty during the years of disaster. He and his family went to Jiangling to live with relatives, but his aunt died of illness and his uncle turned against him. In the end, some people in his family fell ill and died. He became a refugee for more than a year and had planned to beg to return home, but it was impossible. It was good enough for a person who had not experienced the world to be alive.
Su Yan also sent someone to check with her uncle, and it was confirmed.
He has a background and a hometown, he is not a messy person.
Su Ci clicked her tongue twice: "Isn't this... a little too small?"
Su Yan had no sense of being an old cow eating young grass. She said confidently: "It's better to be honest and young. Otherwise, you should have a wife by now, right?"
Why would she want a second-hand item? Of course, you want one that is clean, fair and pleasing to the eye.
From now on, she will be the breadwinner outside the home, while the man will stay at home to raise the children, do the housework and take care of the parents!
It sounded quite reasonable. Su Ci found it a little funny and she laughed out loud. She sneered for a while, but seeing Su Yan's high spirits, her previous hesitation was dispelled.
That's good, the woman is strong and the man is weak, and her sister is not wronged, so there's nothing wrong with that.
"But don't worry, observe for a while and then have someone check it out. It won't take too much time anyway."
Su Yan said that she would kick someone out if he was not obedient or inappropriate. Su Ci believed that Su Yan meant what she said, but it would be troublesome if it really came to that. It would be better to observe the person more.
Also, "Don't quarrel with your parents. Wait until they calm down before you talk it over."
To be honest, Su Di and Chen really have no way to deal with Su Yan. She has already accepted her fate and is urging Su Yan to settle down quickly. She is already one girl older. Chen mentions it every time she meets her little girl, which shows how anxious she is.
——But the two elders probably still cannot accept picking up homeless people, and now the family is in chaos.
Su Yan didn't care: "It's okay, I haven't been home for several days."
Su Yan has grown powerful now. This time her father was so angry that he threatened to beat her. She ran away without even returning home, trying to stay out of the spotlight.
Su Ci: “…”
She was speechless, but it was okay. Seeing Su Yan living so freely and carefree, she was actually very happy in her heart.
…
However, Su Yan was no longer so carefree and unrestrained.
After seeing Lin Sheng, the boy, the two sisters walked out hand in hand and chatted. As soon as they walked out of the hospital, they ran into Yang Yanzhen head-on.
Yang Yanzhen was exhausted. He had just returned to the city after completing a mission. He hadn't even gone home yet. He rushed over here aggressively and almost bumped into Su Ci and her sister. However, both sides reacted quickly. Su Ci jumped back and patted her heart, which had bounced around a few times. "What are you doing?"
So reckless, "Why don't you go home and wash up and change your clothes first?"
When Yang Yanzhen saw Su Ci, he pretended to be calm and put on a smile, "...It's okay, I have some official business to tell Yan first."
Is that so?
"Okay, then you guys tell me, I'll go back by myself."
Anyway, it was only a hundred meters away, and she had a large group of personal soldiers waiting there. Su Ci waved her hand and went home first.
When Su Ci and a group of people left, Yang Yanzhen's face immediately fell. Su Yan was unaware: "What's the matter? Is it serious?"
"It's no big deal." Yang Yanzhen said casually. It was just a communication between the two of them about their respective missions.
Su Yan just nodded and let it go. She suddenly became excited. "Hey," she touched Yang Yanzhen with her shoulder, "San'er, let's go have a drink. I found a nice guy when I went to Jiangling this time!"
She looked excited when she said this.
This time, Yang Yanzhen and Su Yan led their teams on separate missions, one to Jiangling and the other to Northern Xinjiang. The latter would take a longer time, so Yang Yanzhen had just returned.
He was so angry that he didn't expect that Su Yan would pick him up after they were separated for the first time.
He said bitterly: "So you're just going to let it go for touching me before?!"
Yang Yanzhen was annoyed and ashamed. Her face turned black when she talked about this, but after she finished speaking, her face turned red again. She felt ashamed and embarrassed, and stared at Su Yan.
Su Yan: “…”
She turned her head to look at Yang Yanzhen in shock. The redness on Yang Yanzhen's face made her stutter, "...Isn't this an accident?"
It was accidental. She thought she had wiped it clean like dust.
Yang Yanzhen was furious: "What accident? Didn't you touch it?!"
After touching it, you don’t take it seriously? !
He is so mad!
Yang Yanzhen shouted so loudly that everyone in the small house could hear it clearly. The servants at the gate looked over in surprise. The two men then realized what was going on and hurriedly pulled each other to cover their mouths, then jumped aside and ran away.
Before leaving, Su Yan turned around and shouted, "What are you looking at? Shut your mouths!"
Then he pulled Yang Yanzhen away in two or three steps.
…
Speaking of this old "touching" incident, it was actually an accident.
It happened last year, when the rescue operation took place in the palace before the withdrawal of the troops.
At that time, Su Ci was in the palace and Yang Yanzong was outside the palace, so talking about rescue was just a matter of words. But in fact, from the time Su Ci sent a message to try to go out to the time she confirmed that Ren Shishengji could go to Fengxian Hall, to the arrival of August 20th, there were only two short days. The manpower, material resources and effort behind this temporary adjustment plan were enormous.
In order to re-survey the tunnel, Yang Yanzong mobilized all the available secret agents under his command, but in fact the number of people was not too large, because the matter involved 100% top secret and only core confidants could do it.
Su Yan and Yang Yanzhen stayed in the tunnel for those two days. As one of the advance teams, they kept groping forward. They accidentally opened a secret door leading to the outer court duty room and were almost discovered.
That man was the current Jinan coach Zhu Shizhang, a very perceptive and capable person. The two of them were in a panic, and finally managed to close the secret door before the other party entered the inner room.
The two had been bickering in the secret passage. Yang Yanzhen said that Su Yan was a tomboy and could never get married, while Su Yan said that she wanted to find a man to marry into the family. But when the two of them closed the door and moved back at the entrance of the tunnel, Su Yan's hand pressed three inches below Yang Yanzhen's navel.
She hadn't noticed it at the time. Yang Yanzhen's face flushed and she didn't dare to speak, because there was a secret door between the two of them and Zhu Shizhang. The latter was not young but had strong fighting skills and sharp eyes and ears. She was afraid that the other party would hear what was happening behind the door.
They waited for a long time, until they estimated that the time for the palace gate to be keyed had passed and Zhu Shizhang, who came to report on his work, must have gone back, so the two dared to move.
Yang Yanzhen blushed: "Where are you grabbing?!"
The two of them jumped up as if they were burned. Su Yan frightened Yang Yanzhen and pushed her into a ditch full of water, and she was almost bitten by a snake.
It was very cold in the tunnel in late autumn. Yang Yanzhen finally couldn't stand it and took off his wet shirt and put on the coat Su Yanjun gave him. He couldn't take off his pants. Su Yanjun couldn't help but let her eyes slide to his lower body. Yang Yanzhen's face flushed and he said angrily, "What are you looking at?"
"No, no, please do as you please."
…
These things seemed to have happened just yesterday. Ever since her private parts were touched, Yang Yanzhen's attitude towards Su Yan had inevitably changed a little.
I always feel like something is not natural.
Sometimes, he couldn't help but stare at her.
But Su Yan was a carefree person and after apologizing, she didn't take it seriously. As for the accident, she didn't want it to happen. After all, Yang Yanzhen was a boy, so he didn't suffer any harm, and that was it.
She was thinking about picking someone up again.
Yang Yanzhen felt uncomfortable when he heard this topic again.
He couldn't say why, but he just didn't want to listen. He poured cold water on Su Yan several times, and the two of them parted unhappily.
But who would have thought that this time when they were sent out on a separate mission, Su Yan actually picked one up and brought him back. It was said that the girl was very fair and clean, and very good-looking.
Yang Yanzhen was so angry that the scene at the beginning broke out.
The two of them were pulling each other, and they quickly moved away, jumping into the backyard and finding an empty room to continue arguing.
Yang Yanzhen's face turned red as if blood was dripping from his face. He was embarrassed and angry. He was still a virgin, how could she just touch him and let it go! dream! !
"Anyway, we can't just let it go like this!!"
Su Yan was furious: "...Then what do you want to do? I've already apologized!"
"If apologies are useful, then what is the use of the government?!" This sentence comes from Su Ci.
"Then, then...are you going to touch it back?!"
"Just touch it, who's afraid of who?!"
Su Yan: “???”
But Su Yan is not an ordinary woman, "Okay, then you come!"
She raised her head and chest, and pushed forward, "Are you coming or not? If you're not coming, then forget it. It's none of my business, and you can't talk about Lin Sheng's affairs anymore..."
The two childish ghosts kept quarreling, Su Yan was so angry that her eyes went dark. She directly threatened, and she approached step by step. Yang Yanzhen choked and hurriedly retreated. She was pushed to the corner of the wall by step by step. Who would have thought that she would mention Lin Sheng again. Yang Yanzhen's blood boiled and his head was dizzy, "Touch me if you want!"
For some unknown reason, he was so angry that he rushed forward and threw Su Yan directly onto the half-worn low couch.
This low couch was an old piece of furniture and it collapsed with a crackling sound due to being unable to bear the weight. The two of them fell to the ground and rolled around for more than ten times.
The atmosphere changed a little. The sunlight filtered in through the worn screen window. The two of them stared at each other with their faces flushed with heat.
Yang Yanzhen, in particular, was breathing rapidly and his face was red as blood. He was very fair, and all of a sudden his entire face, including his forehead, earlobes, and neck, turned red.
Yang Yanzhen was still very handsome, much more handsome than Lin Sheng, and not just in the timid and handsome way. His eyebrows were like his elder brother, slanting into the temples, very handsome, and suppressing the delicate beauty of his forehead and face. His facial features were beautiful, and when he was a child, Su Yan often laughed at him for looking like a girl.
Dust was flying in the sunlight, Yang Yanzhen's face was flushed, and she was pressed underneath, with a kind of breathtaking beauty.
Su Yan was also a lustful person. At this moment, she suddenly had an idea. She didn't understand genes, but the idea was almost the same. Yang Yanzhen had good genes, which was much more reliable than refugees. In fact, she was still a little worried about finding a refugee, mainly because of the child. What if the child was like his father and did something bad, or had some stubborn habits, then the child would be ruined.
Su Yan swallowed, and as if possessed, she reached out and touched Xiao San'er's face.
A string suddenly snapped in Yang Yanzhen's mind. He panted heavily and stared at Su Yan for a long while, then turned over and pressed over her.
Su Yan actually doesn't care about chastity. She doesn't need it. Half of her desire is lustful, and the other half is some ulterior motive.
The two of them finally accomplished something good in this small room.
After finishing, she just pulled up her pants and left.
Yang Yanzhen blushed and quickly put on her clothes and chased after him.
"You, are you feeling uncomfortable?" It was his first time and his technique was not very good, but it was powerful enough. Su Yan seemed to be enjoying it.
But before Yang Yanzhen could finish his thought, Su Yan said, "Hey, if you have a child, it has to be mine, and the surname is Su."
She calculated the date and it happened to be the ovulation day that Su Ci had previously explained to her, so her chances of winning were pretty good.
She was delighted and immediately gave Yang Yanzhen a shot of prevention in advance.
Yang Yanzhen: “???”
What did you say? !
…
For Su Yan, a man is not actually necessary. She wants a man mainly because she wants a child.
After having sex with Yang Yanzhen, she had already given up on Lin Sheng in her heart, mainly because he was not safe enough.
If it doesn't work the first time, she will probably think about trying it again with her mistress.
Men don’t suffer any loss anyway.
That’s right, Su Yan is still the same Su Yan. No matter whether she marries a son-in-law or not, she will never marry outside her family.
Yang Yanzhen was shocked, "...What about me? Why should the child belong to you?!"
Is this fair?
Why do you have the final say?
Su Yan said, "Were you pregnant for ten months? Are you pregnant? What did you do? You just want to have fun and then you come to fight for my child. Do you think it's reasonable?"
Yang Yanzhen was speechless. Both his elder and younger sisters-in-law had been pregnant before. It was okay that his younger sister-in-law had less contact with him, but he knew that Su Ci was uncomfortable and vomited all day long during her pregnancy, and she couldn't eat or drink.
But is this his problem? It’s none of his business if he’s born like this!
Yang Yanzhen was not going to give up anyway, "You must give me one child! If you want to have two, give me one, one for you and one for me!"
He glared at her: "I won't marry into your family!"
Don't even think about it.
Su Yan was not happy, "I didn't say I would marry you into the family and make you my own, but what if your wife bullies my son?"
Yang Yanzhen said angrily, "Is it not okay for me not to marry a wife?"
I already have a son, but why would I want to marry him a wife?
What if a child is bullied? !
Su Yan was speechless for a long while: "...Okay, then I want a big one."
"Why do you want the bigger one?"
"I want it anyway, if you don't want it, forget it!"
"Hey, hey! Su Yan, don't run—"
The two of them were arguing and talking all the time, from whether it was fair to have two children to who wanted one child and who wanted two.
In the end, Su Yan won and her brother was hers, but Yang Yanzhen had to promise that if she gave birth to a girl, she would give her a boy.
She has suffered in her life because she was not born a boy, and she has become obsessed with it.
Yang Yanzhen agreed.
These two guys actually came to an agreement in the end.
…
Su Ci didn't know what was going on between the two of them. After months of entanglement, they actually got together.
It even got to the point where Yang Yanzhen mustered up the courage to tell his elder brother about his decision.
He doesn't marry anymore.
When Su Yan gave birth to her second child, he took the child home.
In fact, Yang Yanzhen should have gotten married a long time ago, but she was too busy with all the troubles over the years to take care of it. Now that it has been settled, Yang Chongying has mentioned it twice this year, asking Yang Yanzong and Su Ci to choose a good one for the third child.
Yang Yanzong also considered several good families and just asked Su Ci to get to know the girl in depth.
Yang Yanzhen became anxious when he heard this. Taking advantage of the fact that his brother was in a good mood, he mustered up the courage to go to the study and talk to him.
"...You said you don't want to marry a wife?"
Yang Yanzong frowned and stared at him.
In recent years, Yang Yanzong's majesty has grown. When he is unhappy, he can be intimidating even if he doesn't scold. Yang Yanzhen glanced at his brother, nodded bravely, and said "hmm".
Yang Yanzong leaned back in his chair and threw his pen on the table. "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"You want to marry into the family?"
Yang Yanzhen jumped up immediately, "No way!"
Nowadays, the social status of a son-in-law is inferior, and normal men would not consider marrying into a woman's family.
Yang Yanzhen grew up in such a social environment and of course had never thought about this issue.
Yang Yanzong's expression eased a little, but his brows were still furrowed tightly. Seeing this, Yang Yanzhen quickly poured out the prepared words, "Brother, I've thought about it. If we bring the child home, it will also be a return to our ancestral roots. For a family like ours, it won't be a big deal."
In fact, rules are often set by superiors for inferiors. For example, in the emperor's harem, it is normal for a concubine to be promoted to the main wife, but it is not allowed for court officials and nobles.
Etiquette and law are just one of the means used by the emperor to constrain his rule.
The same is true for the Yang family today. Bringing an illegitimate child home would of course be criticized, but if Yang Yanzhen did not marry and had no children, this child would be the only heir and would be taken care of by his uncle and cousins. In fact, the treatment would be no different from that of a legitimate child.
Yang Yanzong hesitated for a long time, so long that Yang Yanzhen felt very uneasy. Yang Yanzong slowly said, "You are already in your twenties, I won't say any more nonsense. Do you know the impact of your decision today on your future?"
"I know. I've thought it through."
Yang Yanzhen whispered: "I just like A Yan, I am happy, ..."
"to be honest!"
Before Yang Yanzhen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Yanzong.
Yang Yanzhen choked, and after a while, he secretly glanced at his brother, and then said shyly: "...I really mean it when I said I would think it over carefully."
As for liking her, he honestly said: "I don't know, anyway, I am very happy to be with her, so I am willing to do this."
In comparison, to be honest, he really had no interest in that "wife" who he didn't know what she looked like.
Although being with Su Yan was noisy and he was often pissed off by her, when he thought about it carefully, he actually felt that it was pretty good.
Whenever I think of her, Su Yan's vivid image appears before my eyes.
Yang Yanzhen's face turned red and he stuttered at the end. He felt very embarrassed to say these things in front of his elder brother.
But his eyes were bright, and there was an indescribable feeling of high spirits.
Very innocent, but there is indeed emotion.
As the saying goes, a bystander sees more clearly. Maybe the parties involved did not notice it, but Yang Yanzong was an experienced person and saw it at a glance.
He has a headache. What the hell is this?
But he remained silent for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly under Yang Yanzhen's expectant eyes, "I hope you won't regret it in the future."
This is tacit consent!
It was so easy to acquiesce!
This was totally beyond Yang Yanzhen's expectation. He almost cheered out loud, "I know, big brother!"
“Thank you, bro!!”
He thanked her happily and ran away.
Yang Yanzong was left rubbing his eyebrows.
…
After returning to the house, even Su Ci was shocked at how easily Yang Yanzong gave in.
It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and Yang Yanzong really deserves this saying, especially the youngest Yang Yanzhen, whom he raised like his own son since he was young.
With today's ideas, he actually gave in so easily? It's a bit unbelievable.
Yang Yanzong sighed softly: "I only have this one brother."
My thoughts are turning around and around.
If Yang Yanzhen had told him in the past few years, Yang Yanzong would have been furious and scolded him and forced him to get married and would have refused to agree no matter what.
But after he tasted true love, he understood what it felt like to have someone in his heart.
Yang Yanzhen's true feelings at that time were an important reason for him to give in.
As for another important reason.
Yang Yanzong sighed softly: "After all, she is your sister."
Yang Yanzong knew how good the relationship between Su Ci and her sister was, and Su Ci had always been supportive of Su Yan's choices.
Love the house and love the dog.
If it were someone else, it would probably be a hassle, but Su Yan is Su Ci's elder sister after all.
The night was as cool as water, the candlelight was dim, and his eyes, which always contained a hint of tenderness, fell gently on her face.
Since when, whenever Yang Yanzong returned home, his eyes, which were extremely sharp outside, would always become soft, and the indifference in his previous memories had long since disappeared without a trace.
Listening to his gentle words full of tenderness and affection, Su Ci couldn't tell the feeling in her heart for a moment.
She looked at him a little blankly.
Instead, Yang Yanzong chuckled and said, "Silly, don't be afraid, I'm here."
No matter whether the child was raised in the Su family or the child taken home by Yang Yanzhen, they were all his nephews. Today, Yang Yanzong could confidently say that with him taking care of the child, the child would definitely have a bright future.
He kissed her gently, "Don't worry."
Su Ci came back to her senses, opened her eyes and looked at him for a long while, then shook her head gently, put her face in the crook of his neck, and hummed softly.
She closed her eyes.
Yang Yanzong hugged her gently.
