Qi Zi had prepared dinner at home, and Xiao Yu quickly put down her embroidery tent and went to meet her, "Sister, I will go to the chess hall with you tomorrow."
Song Yuehua said, "You don't have to go to the chess hall every day. You can't help if you go. It's better to have a good rest. I'll take you there whenever you want to go."
In the middle of the night, the wind started to blow outside, it was quite strong, and there was also the sound of rain.
Song Yuehua was not sure whether the kitchen door was closed or not, so she had to go over to take a look. She gently got off the kang, put on her clothes, and went to the kitchen with the oil lamp.
As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw a dark shadow in the yard. Song Yuehua's heart tightened and she regretted not putting an axe at the door.
"Song Yuehua."
The voice sounded familiar. I lifted the oil lamp in front of me and saw that it was Yan Fengjian. He was much taller, with more profound facial features, and a messy stubble on his chin made him look extremely weathered.
"See you in Yanfeng!"
Song Yuehua exclaimed and quickly pulled the person into the kitchen, "Why did you come to me?"
"Give me your hand." Yan Feng heard the voice was hoarse and low.
Song Yuehua didn't understand and stretched out her hand. Yan Fengjian grabbed her hand and stroked the calluses on her hand, "Your hands are getting rougher and rougher."
Song Yuehua pulled her hand back, "Men and women should not touch each other, stop touching me."
Yan Fengjian entered the kitchen, kicked out a stool and sat down, "It's been so long since we last met, you're still the same."
"You have grown up a lot." Song Yuehua handed him a handkerchief.
Yan Fengjian asked, "Do you know everything about the Chen and Yan families?"
"knew."
Yan Feng nodded and didn't ask her how she knew it. He just spoke to himself.
"I originally wanted to marry you, open a martial arts business, have a few kids, and hire Xie Wenwu as our family's cook. Thinking of these things every night, I can always sleep well."
Song Yuehua, "..."
"I didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes. I'm afraid we will become strangers," Yan Fengjian tore off his raincoat, his eyes deep, "I never thought that life would be so helpless."
Song Yuehua asked, "Your father was just implicated, maybe there will be a turn for the better."
"No," Yan Yujiu murmured, turning the empty bowl in his hand. "Although my father didn't do anything extremely evil, he wasn't a good official either. He did a lot of corruption and abuse of power. I just didn't expect retribution to come so quickly."
Song Yuehua returned to the house, took out the box of gold bars and said, "I was originally planning to bribe you. Do you think these are enough? What is the general market price in your official circles?"
Yan Feng smiled and shook his head, "The powerful people above want to kill us all. We are just a small official, there is not much room for maneuver, and they are not short of a box of gold."
If one way doesn't work, try another one.
Song Yuehua pushed the gold in front of him and said, "This is the jewelry you gave me. I pawned it for 2,000 taels, and the remaining 2,000 taels were given by your second brother. It's just right to return it to its original owner. You'll need money on your way to escape."
"Is this the engagement token I gave you?" Yan Yujiu asked.
Song Yuehua nodded and said, "Yes, the shopkeeper said that if we go to the state capital, we can sell more silver, but I need it in a hurry, so I changed it."
Yan Feng rubbed his face and regained consciousness. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's better to sell it."
"Or, you can go to another country to avoid disaster." Song Yuehua came up with another idea.
Yan Fengjian shook his head lightly, "I can't avoid it. My eldest brother is a fool, my second brother is just a show-off, my father is useless, and my mother is powerless even without power. If I run away, they will definitely die."
Song Yuehua felt sad.
Yan Feng stared at her for a while, then suddenly stood up, picked up his hat and was about to leave.
Song Yuehua gave him the gold, but was released again. Yan Feng saw this and said, "If I take it, it will only benefit others. It's better to benefit you."
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Song Yuehua asked.
Yan Feng was about to shake his head, but then he turned his head and looked at Song Yuehua seriously, and asked, "Have you ever thought of me?"
Song Yuehua was about to speak, but Yan Fengjian quickly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, no need to say anything. I have never heard anything good from you."
Hearing this, Song Yuehua was not angry, she just forced out a smile and said, "Live well, don't die."
Yan Fengjian also smiled and said, "I'll try my best."
In the dark night, the raindrops hit Yan Fengjian's raincoat. Song Yuehua's heart moved and she shouted, "Wait a minute."
Yan Feng turned around suddenly and saw Song Yuehua standing at the door and shouted, "Where is Damao now?"
Yan Feng was shocked when he saw this, and he flew away without saying a word, his figure completely disappearing into the darkness.
When Song Yuehua returned to the kang bed, she was still feeling sad. Time had passed and things and people were no longer the same.
The next morning, seeing that Xiaoyu had not been in good spirits for the past few days, Song Yuehua brought Xiaobao to the chess hall alone.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mr. Zuo Si and a few others sitting by the window, drinking tea and playing chess.
There were many old men surrounding the few people.
When Bai Ye saw Xiao Bao, he waved with a smile. When Xiao Bao came over, he took out a bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candy and said, "This tastes good. Grandpa specially left it for you. Try it and see if you like it."
"Thank you, Grandpa Bai." Xiaobao took it with both hands and thanked him with a smile.
Mr. Bai took the chessboard to a place with fewer people nearby and said, "Come on, let's play the next game."
"Old man Bai, what are you doing?" When Mr. Mu reacted, the chessboard in front of him disappeared.
Bai Ye raised his chin and said, "If you want to chat, then chat. If I want to play chess, then play chess."
"That won't work," Grandpa Mu also stood up and came over, took out a bag of cakes and gave it to Xiaobao, saying, "This is white sugar cake, much better than his candy. Xiaobao, ignore this old man, how about playing a game with Grandpa Mu?"
