Lu Yanqing picked up the cane and examined it carefully. It didn't have any patterns carved on it, but it was much more exquisite than his previous one.
It's a very ordinary walking stick, without any patterns or writing on it.
Wen Nan reached out and gently twisted the cane in Lu Yanqing's hand. The head of the cane fell off, revealing a sharp dagger underneath.
Lu Yanqing raised his eyebrows slightly.
It contains a hidden secret.
Wen Nan then carved out a small, square box from an almost invisible groove under the cane.
Inside was a packet of white powder wrapped in paper.
Aphrodisiac.
Lu Yanqing is a boy with bad luck; he's incredibly unlucky.
Wen Nan made these preparations in case of unforeseen circumstances, not to mention that Lu Yanqing's experience goes far beyond this.
"It's for self-defense. Your good grades make you a target of jealousy," Wen Nan explained seriously.
Lu Yanqing chuckled, "A knife and a sleeping pill... it's not that serious."
"What if something really happens? Does my husband want me to remain a widow?"
As Wen Nan spoke, Lu Yanqing recalled her previous misfortunes.
"No." Lu Yanqing put away his cane.
Wen Nan picked up the blue sachet and tied it to Lu Yanqing's belt.
“I made this myself; you should take it with you wherever you go. The walking stick is the same.”
"Um."
Wen Nan blinked and looked at Lu Yanqing, saying, "Husband, I want something else..."
"What is that?"
Wen Nan leaned down and whispered in Lu Yanqing's ear.
Lu Yanqing blushed completely and suddenly stood up from her chair. "Go wash up quickly, it's getting late."
Deliberately avoiding looking at Wen Nan's face, Lu Yanqing walked outside, closed the door, and let out a sigh of relief.
Wen Nan inside chuckled.
859 looked complicated.
[The target is indeed an innocent young man now, but once he matures, you, host, will get yourself into trouble.]
"Oh. We'll talk about it another day." Wen Nan said nonchalantly.
She just loved teasing Lu Yanqing. Seeing Lu Yanqing blush and turn red with embarrassment amused her.
859 is helpless.
It clearly heard what the host said... it was simply unbearable to hear.
As expected, the target rushed out the door upon hearing this.
She'll scare the target.
589 is full of worries.
It needs to find something for Wen Nan to do.
...
After a long period of quiet following the New Year, the ice and snow melted, everything came back to life, and the quiet village returned to its lively state.
People were everywhere, loosening the soil in the fields, and some were digging ditches to irrigate the farmland.
The grass by the roadside has sprouted.
They shed their thick winter clothes and put on autumn clothes.
The day for transplanting rice seedlings is just around the corner. Transplanting rice seedlings is also known as rice planting.
Everywhere there are fields, and people are loosening the soil and irrigating.
The villagers finally got busy.
Those families with a lot of land hired people to transplant rice seedlings, hoping to harvest more rice in the fall.
Wen Nan, Lu Yanqing, and Zhang Ruyu walked along the road, with Zhang Ruyu at the very back, muttering to herself.
Zhang Ruyu was memorizing the key points that Lu Yanqing had drawn for him.
Lu Yanqing and Wen Nan walked ahead.
Yang Zhaodi was holding an oil lamp in the field when she suddenly grabbed something and threw it onto the bank.
“Pests, they’re eating my seedlings.” Yang Zhaodi caught one.
“What kind of insect is this? I’ve never seen it before. But I’ve seen quite a few these past few days. It can even pinch people.” Yang Zhaodi said to her husband Ding Fu, who was standing next to her, and then picked up another pest and threw it on the ground.
Ding Fu stomped on him and killed him.
Wen Nan happened to be passing by nearby.
"Is Madam Wen picking up Scholar Lu from school?" Yang Zhaodi greeted.
