Chapter 392, Watching the World with You
The noise outside the carriage gradually died down, and the Yan family members in the carriage knew that they were almost at the government office.
Yan Wenqi straightened his clothes and looked at his sister's attire. After making sure that there was nothing disrespectful, he sat upright and waited for the carriage to stop.
Yan Yunxi didn't lift the curtain to look out, but sat quietly in the carriage.
In another carriage, Yan Yunyan also helped her eldest and second brothers to straighten their clothes, and then she took a deep breath to suppress the tension in her heart.
Seeing her like this, Yan Wenyi suddenly felt a little amused: "Little sister, you don't need to be so nervous. Although Uncle Yan is a fourth-rank prefect, he is also an elder in the clan and will not embarrass us."
Yan Yunyan looked embarrassed: "I know, but I just can't help being nervous."
Yan Wenge glanced at his second brother and warned him, "Second brother, the Yan Mansion is not like your own home. Don't make a fuss like you do at home."
Yan Wenyi nodded casually: "Brother, I am an adult now, I know the importance of this matter."
Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped.
"We're home, everyone get off the bus!"
Hearing Yan Wenxiu's voice, Yan Wenqi and others got off the carriage.
As soon as he entered the city, Yan Wenxiu sent someone to inform his family. When Mrs. Li learned that her eldest son had brought several members of the Yan family with him this time, she went to the gate to greet him in person to show her respect.
"Mom, the child is back!"
Seeing Madam Li, Yan Wenxiu quickly stepped forward and bowed.
Before he knelt down, Madam Li hurriedly supported him and said with a look of satisfaction, "My son is great. You have brought honor to our parents and the Yan family." As she spoke, she looked at Yan Wenxiu with a look of heartache.
"You've become thinner and darker, but it's okay. Go home and I'll give you some nourishment."
Yan Wenxiu let Mrs. Li look at him with a smile on his face. This time when he returned to his hometown, he deeply felt the warmth and comfort of home.
When he is away from home, he has to take care of everything himself, which is both stressful and physically demanding; but at home, his mother will take care of everything for him.
Madam Li had a lot to say to her eldest son, but when she saw the Yan clan members standing nearby, she had to swallow her words. She smiled at Yan Wenqi and the others and said, "Look at me. I haven't been back to my hometown in many years. I can hardly recognize who is who."
Yan Wenxiu immediately introduced them: "Mom, this is Brother Wenqi and Sister Yunxi from the clan leader's family; this is Brother Wenge, Brother Wenyi, and Sister Yunyan from my third uncle's family."
Madam Li smiled and pulled Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan over. She looked them up and down and said, "You are both good children. Come on, follow your aunt to see your Sixth Grandmother."
Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan, who were originally a little nervous, felt a little relaxed when they saw that Madam Li was so kind, and let her pull them into the door.
Yan Wenxiu also called Yan Wenqi and the other two to follow.
After entering, Yan Wenqi and the other three realized how big the Yan Mansion was. There were courtyards stacked up one after another, and the servants were doing their work in an orderly manner. When they saw them coming, they immediately bowed and saluted.
Seeing this scene, even the most lively Yan Wenyi took out the etiquette his grandfather had taught him before leaving the house, for fear of being laughed at.
After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, I heard Mrs. Li say that we had arrived at Songheyuan where the old lady lived.
Old Madam Yan had been waiting for a long time. When she heard Yan Wenxiu and the others had arrived, she hurried out of the house and asked, "Wenxiu is back?"
"Grandma, my grandson is back!"
Yan Wenxiu hurriedly ran forward to support the old lady, fearing that she would fall if she walked too fast.
Old Madam Yan pulled Yan Wenxiu over and kept looking at him: "Did you not eat well? Why have you lost so much weight?"
Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, "Grandma, I am actually Zhang Jieshi."
Old Madam Yan showed dissatisfaction on her face and said to Madam Li, "I have to nourish my eldest grandson well. He is in his prime and cannot suffer any loss at this time."
Madam Li smiled and nodded: "Just listen to me. Mom, come and take a look and see if you know these younger generations of the clan?" As she said that, she pulled Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan in front of the old lady.
Old Lady Yan looked at Yan Wenqi and the other three and said with a smile, "How can you not recognize them? I watched these little kids grow up." As she spoke, she looked at Yan Wenqi and Yan Wenge.
"Wenqi, Wenge, is your grandfather in good health?"
Yan Wenqi and Yan Wenge bowed and saluted before replying, "To answer Fifth Grandma's question, Grandpa is in good health."
Old Mrs. Yan nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good. Let's go and talk in the room." After that, she took Yan Yunxi in one hand and Yan Yunyan in the other, and spoke as they walked.
"Daohua has gone to the farm and will probably be back in two days. There are three other girls at home, but they are still in class. After class, you can play together."
"And your Uncle Yan, he's still busy in the government office. You can only see him after he leaves."
After listening to Old Lady Yan's voice, Yan Wenqi and the other three finally relaxed.
Although Mrs. Li was kind and amiable, she was also the wife of the prefect, and she had not lived in Yanjia Village for a long time, so they still felt nervous when looking at her.
But it’s different with Old Lady Yan. This old lady has watched them grow up, and they feel more at ease in front of her.
Everyone went into the house, and not long after, people from the second and third rooms also came over after hearing the news.
Although Yan Wenqi and the others were a little nervous, they still answered the questions from Old Lady Yan and others quite appropriately.
Peach Blossom Temple.
After being caught up by Xiao Yeyang, Daohua left on the same day without recovering and stayed for another night before taking a boat home.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang who had boarded the boat with her, Daohua said speechlessly, "Are you going to the capital too? Why not return to the barracks?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I'm going to check the sales of Liuli. Oh, and I also bought a house in the capital city, did you know that?"
Rice Flower: "How should I know this?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Didn't your fourth brother tell you?"
Daohua shook her head: "No."
Xiao Yeyang: "Now you know. If you need to find me in the future, you can send someone to the house to tell me, and they will notify me."
Daohua: "What can I ask you for?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and said with a smile: "For example, if you want to go somewhere and have no one to accompany you, you can always come to me."
Daohua curled her lips and said, "I can find Yuanyao, Sister Su, and Jingwan, why should I look for you?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Are you sure they can accompany you to where you want to go? Besides, it's probably not easy for them to go out, how can it be as convenient as me."
After a pause, he said, "As long as you want to go, I can go with you."
Hearing this, Daohua was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Yeyang and said seriously, "Xiao Yeyang, don't make promises easily, especially when you're not sure if you can keep them."
Xiao Yeyang immediately said: "I am serious."
Daohua was silent for a while: "You may be serious now, but after a while, you won't think so anymore, or you may just forget it."
Seeing that Daohua didn't believe him, Xiao Yeyang wanted to make some promises, but he felt that his words were too soft. After thinking for a while, he said, "Just wait and see what I do in the future."
Hearing this, Daohua tightened her grip on the boat handle, pursed her lips and said nothing.
She believed that Xiao Yeyang was sincere at the moment, but some things could not stand the test of time.
Xiao Yeyang didn't continue, and said with a smile: "Double Ninth Festival is in two days. Is there any place you want to go?"
Daohua fell into deep thought: "I really don't know what fun places there are in Ningmen Mansion."
Xiao Yeyang nudged Daohua with his elbow and said, "Ask Brother Shenghao to come and listen, then I can take you to a good place."
Hearing this, Daohua turned around, stretched out her hand and twisted Xiao Yeyang's arm fiercely: "I think your skin is getting more and more itchy, you can say it or not."
Xiao Yeyang was a little depressed, rubbing his aching arm: "Yan Yiyi, why can't you be a little gentler to me?"
Daohua glanced over and said, "That's what I am."
Xiao Yeyang sighed and thought, forget it, let it be like this, it’s actually quite unique.
