Chapter 49 He said: Come here, I will teach you...

Jiang Yanyi stopped: "If you don't pour the medicine, I won't come over."

"If I don't pour it, I will drink it here!"

Feng Shuo saw that she had no intention of coming forward, so he tilted his head back and swallowed all the medicine. At this distance, his sense of taste was still sensitive. It was the first time he drank something so unpalatable with his sense of taste. It was so bitter that his whole face was distorted.

Jiang Yanyi looked at him in fear: "Are you okay?"

Feng Shuo squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Nothing."

Jiang Yanyi wanted to say that from your expression, you seemed to be in trouble, but he didn't have the courage to say it.

Feng Shuo strode back to the stone table, picked up the teapot on the table, and prepared to take a few gulps to rinse his mouth.

Jiang Yanyi discovered his intention and quickly pressed the teapot: "Tea can neutralize the drug. I'll boil some water for you."

When she finished boiling the water, Feng Shuo felt that he might have to go to see King Yan because of the smell.

He stared at Jiang Yanyi fiercely: "You did it on purpose!"

Although his expression was fierce, Jiang Yanyi didn't feel scared. She even wanted to laugh for some reason. She couldn't help it and the corners of her lips curved.

Feng Shuo's face became even uglier: "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Yanyi took out a bag of pine nut candy from her sleeve pocket. She bought it for Qiu Kui when she went to the market to buy old ginseng. Qiu Kui usually liked to eat these sweets the most. She didn't expect that they would come in handy here.

She said, "The medicine is a bit bitter, you can eat something sweet to reduce the bitterness."

Feng Shuo turned his face away: "Are you treating me like a three-year-old child?"

Jiang Yanyi picked up a piece and started eating it: "Who said only children can eat candy?"

Feng Shuo turned his head and suddenly grabbed her hand holding half a piece of pine nut candy, opened his mouth and bit off the half-eaten pine nut candy, chewing it into pieces, as if he was not chewing the pine nut candy, but her.

Jiang Yanyi did not expect him to be like this, and was stunned for a moment.

Feng Shuo's eyes were full of rebellion: "You know what I feel towards you. If you haven't made that plan, don't provoke me!"

He took the initiative to lift the gauze window paper. After Jiang Yanyi's embarrassment, she suddenly felt courageous. She met his gaze and asked: "My lord...what do you see in me?"

She had a pair of extremely beautiful autumn water eyes. When she looked at a person intently, she always gave people the illusion of affection.

Feng Shuo's grip on her wrist never loosened, and even seemed to be getting tighter. He stared into her bright and clear eyes: "If only I knew."

The fair wrist he held was slender and soft, so fragile that it seemed like he could break it with a slight bend. The temperature he felt with his fingertips extended to his heart like a tiny bud, making his heart beat uncontrollably and the lustful thoughts in his mind grow like wild weeds.

Feng Shuo took his hand back in annoyance, turned his face away from Jiang Yanyi and said, "Go now."

Jiang Yanyi suddenly got angry too: "Just because you are a prince, if you are interested in me, do I have to respond to you?"

"My prince, you may just be in a momentary mood, but I will have to pay for it for my whole life. I am timid and dare not marry someone higher than you."

Feng Shuo heard the turn of events in her words and shouted, "Who said that I was in a momentary mood?"

He stared at Jiang Yanyi: "As long as you say you are willing, I will immediately send a matchmaker to your door and marry you with three matchmakers and six betrothals."

Jiang Yanyi almost choked to death by her own saliva. What kind of brain circuit is this man? Why did he suddenly talk about marriage?

She said, "You are a prince, how can you choose a princess casually?"

Three matchmakers and six betrothals are the treatment for marrying a wife.

In his position, the concubines and concubines must be carefully selected for him by his staff. They must be powerful in the court or can help him in the army. It is absolutely impossible to marry a woman who is completely helpless to him.

Feng Shuo understood the implication of her words and sneered: "I had nothing but the foundation of what I am today. Now if I can't even be my own master in getting married, then wouldn't I have been in vain all these years?"

His eyes fell on Jiang Yanyi and became deeper: "Whether you want to or not, it's all up to you."

Jiang Yanyi was a little confused for a moment. She thought what she had to face was whether to accept the confession, but now it has become whether to accept the marriage proposal?

Seeing that things were becoming more and more complicated, she raised her hand to stop Feng Shuo from continuing: "Wait... let's sort things out first."

Feng Shuo looked at her in silence, waiting for her to speak.

Jiang Yanyi was in a complicated mood and pointed at herself with a dull look: "Do you like me?"

Feng Shuo said "hmm", and his ears turned slightly red.

Jiang Yanyi continued: "But you have never formally expressed your feelings to me, today is the first time."

Feng Shuo retorted: "I asked you."

Although that time was an oolong.

Apparently Jiang Yanyi also remembered which time he had mentioned "asked", but before she could say anything, Feng Shuo directly said: "Today is the first time, so let's do it today."

Jiang Yanyi nodded and continued: "So, you see, you expressed your feelings to me, but I haven't confirmed it yet... Isn't it too fast for you to talk about marriage all of a sudden?"

Feng Shuo thought to himself, how could he know that liking someone is so troublesome, it doesn't take long to get married, anyway, he liked her all the same.

But most women are shy, so they have to be given some steps.

Eh? Wait!

Feng Shuo suddenly raised his eyes that were as bright as stars: "You mean, we can talk about marriage later?"

Translated, doesn't it mean there is a play?

Jiang Yanyi felt as if she was being stabbed in the back by his fiery gaze, and hurriedly said: "This does not mean that I have agreed to you. We... can try it out first, and when both sides have adjusted their temperaments, we can consider the future."

Maybe it was because of the pine nut candy, and now Feng Shuo didn't feel bitter at all.

He was so smart, Jiang Yanyi said it implicitly, but he insisted on asking the answer he wanted: "Are you also pleased with me?"

Jiang Yanyi was not as thick-skinned as him, and her face turned red, looking at him angrily.

How could she not be moved, it was just that she had too many secrets from him, so she kept her distance.

Feng Shuo was in a good mood for a rare time, and laughed recklessly. He took her hand and was about to walk out: "You haven't met my mother yet, I will take you to see my mother!"

Jiang Yanyi almost knelt down before him. How could he be like that? He went to meet the parents in person just because of a disagreement. She was not mentally prepared at all!

Jiang Yanyi held his hand tightly, "Prince... this is too hasty, I haven't agreed whether to accept your love or not!"

Feng Shuo was slightly startled, and frowned again: "Aren't you also fond of me?"

Maybe knowing that he was not as vicious as he appeared, Jiang Yanyi became bolder, and she mustered up the courage to say: "There are many foolish men and resentful women in the world, and sometimes it is not possible to be together just because they love each other. I am terrified to be loved by you, and I also respect you, but... I have hidden something from you, and I feel guilty."

"How about giving me a little more time, and when I think it through and tell you what I have hidden from you, I will definitely give you an answer."

"What a trouble." Feng Shuo frowned: "What do you have that I don't know?"

The only thing he could think of was that she was hiding her identity. He wanted to tell her at this time that he already knew her identity, but Jiang Yanyi said: "A lot."

"When I think it through, I will tell you, my lord."

Feng Shuo heard the word "a lot" and took back the words that were on his lips. He said: "You have to give me a deadline."

Jiang Yanyi thought for a while and said: "How about one month?"

In one month, as long as you have more contact, you can find out a person's character and see whether he is worthy of trust.

"Okay, one month is one month!" If Feng Shuo had a tail, it would be flying up to the sky at this moment.

He threw all the chess pieces on the chessboard back into the chess basket, and said in a very good mood: "It just so happens that I don't have to go to the barracks these few days, so I can take you to the outside of the pass on horseback. You haven't seen the Rongkui on the grassland, it's like a sea of ​​fire when it blooms!" At

this moment, he was really like a young boy, and his thoughts were all written on his face.

Jiang Yanyi silently interrupted him: "Prince, you should take good care of yourself first."

When it comes to recuperation, Feng Shuo thought of the bowl of bitter medicine, and his face changed instantly: "It's okay for me." Jiang

Yanyi looked at her without saying a word.

Feng Shuo thought that if she wasn't around, he wouldn't taste much bitterness when he drank the medicine, so he frowned and said, "I will take the medicine on time in the future."

Jiang Yanyi said, "The weather is getting colder, you'd better stay out of the wind."

Feng Shuo: "..."

When Feng Shuo drank the medicine, the distorted expression on his handsome face kept lingering in Jiang Yanyi's mind.

She thought about it and told the housekeeper Fu Xi about it, asking if some of the strong-tasting herbs could be replaced with medicated diet.

After hearing this, Fu Xi found a doctor, who wrote another prescription, using medicated diet and medicated bath methods at the same time. Fu Xi

handed the matter of making medicated diet to Jiang Yanyi, saying that the kitchen in the mansion was not very convenient, and the Grand Empress Dowager didn't like the smell of medicine, so she offered a high price to ask Jiang Yanyi to help cook.

Jiang Yanyi knew that this was Feng Shuo's intention. She refused on the grounds that the store was busy. Fuxi transferred two guards from the palace to serve as waiters for her. She said that she still had to take care of the accounts, so Fuxi directly lent her the accountant who was in charge of the palace's accounts. With

three more helpers, Jiang Yanyi was completely free now. Thinking that she had to learn more about Feng Shuo anyway, she took on the job of making medicinal food. She could also devote more energy to take care of her pepper seedlings every day.

Thanks to the fact that she had spent some time in the countryside in her previous life, she would go back to her grandmother's house in the countryside during the holidays and help her grandmother with a lot of farm work. Although she has not learned how to grow pepper seedlings directly, every household grows seedlings during the busy farming season, so she still knows the process of growing seedlings. The techniques of growing seedlings are similar for different crop varieties.

After the pepper seedlings are refined, they can be divided into plants. The small handful of pepper seeds at the beginning have now become hundreds of seedlings.

The maturity period of peppers is about two to three months. After this winter is over, this batch of peppers will be harvested. By then, I have more pepper seeds. After the spring, I can rent a few acres of land and grow seedlings again. I can ask the tenants to help me take care of it, and I can go to inspect it when I have free time.

Jiang Yanyi felt that she might be able to achieve pepper freedom soon.

Because she was in a good mood, the corners of her mouth were upturned when she went to get the food box for Feng Shuo's medicinal meal.

These past few days, when she prepared medicinal food, she would first take the food box to Feng Shuo, and then go to the greenhouse to check on the pepper seedlings. When she came out of the greenhouse, Feng Shuo would have almost finished eating, so she would go to get the food box.

"Are you so happy after playing in the mud?"

Jiang Yanyi heard his voice just as she walked to the door.

The weather has been very dry and cold recently. Feng Shuo's old injuries were affected by the climate, and he didn't play chess or read in the yard these days.

After sending him medicinal food for several days in a row, Jiang Yanyi probably understood his temper a little bit. When he was really angry and when he was talking nonsense were two different things.

Now was obviously when he was talking nonsense.

Jiang Yanyi said, "Didn't you go to the greenhouse to play in the mud before?" She was talking about

the day she opened the store, when he helped her water the pepper seedlings in the greenhouse.

Feng Shuo's face was not looking good after his past was exposed.

He sat cross-legged on the mat, and the house was heated by a fire. He was in good health, but he had to put on more clothes when he went out because his old injuries hurt when the weather turned cold. Now he didn't feel cold wearing only a single piece of clothing indoors.

The collar of his ink-black robe was slightly tilted, revealing a delicate collarbone. His long hair was not tied up, but only tied with a band in front of his forehead. Compared with his usual coldness, he looked more lazy and casual now.

There was a chessboard in front of him, and he always played chess with himself in his spare time.

When Jiang Yanyi collected the bowls and chopsticks, he found that the meat and soup in the bowls were gone. The vegetables and some edible herbs that were used to stew the soup were all picked out.

She couldn't help but ask, "Do you only eat meat?"

Feng Shuo gave her a matter-of-fact look, "Eat meat to fill you up."

Back in the military camp, only by eating enough meat every day would you not get hungry so quickly.

In the early years, Feng Shuo had no sense of taste, so of course he chose to eat the most filling and hungry meat. Now that his sense of taste has been restored... What are vegetarian dishes? Do they smell like meat?

Jiang Yanyi simply couldn't stand his picky eating. Anyway, the effect of the medicine had been completely absorbed into the soup. Since he drank the soup, Jiang Yanyi didn't say anything more.

Feng Shuo played chess with himself for a few days. He was probably a little bored, so he suddenly asked Jiang Yanyi, "Do you know how to play chess?"

"No."

"Come here, I'll teach you." Feng Shuo became interested.

When Jiang Yanyi read novels in the past, the protagonists often played chess. Jiang Yanyi always thought it was very cool. Now that Feng Shuo mentioned it, she wanted to learn it.

She walked over and sat cross-legged on the futon opposite Feng Shuo, giving him a heads-up in advance: "That... I really don't know how to play at all."

Feng Shuo still said the same thing: "I'll teach you."

Unconsciously, he rarely called himself "this king" in front of her.

Jiang Yanyi held the black pieces, and Feng Shuo held the white pieces.

He said, "The black piece moves first."

Jiang Yanyi then placed a piece at the intersection of the chessboard. Feng Shuo frowned as he looked at the position where she placed the piece, but said nothing. He also placed a piece and continued to explain to Jiang Yanyi, "Only pieces with Qi can be alive. Chess pieces with Qi are alive, and chess pieces without Qi are dead."

As the two of them placed more and more chess pieces, he pointed to Jiang Yanyi and said, "Look, if you place a piece here, all the pieces in this piece will become dead. If you place it here, your chess board will be alive."

"Oh, thank you." Jiang Yanyi followed suit and picked up the chess piece he had just placed and put it on the alive position that Feng Shuo said.

Feng Shuo's eyelids jumped: "A true gentleman watches a game of chess without saying a word, and a true man does not regret a move. How can you play chess like this?"

Jiang Yanyi blinked: "I am neither a gentleman nor a man."

Feng Shuo was silent, and was speechless for a while.

He was very good at Go. Jiang Yanyi thought she had no talent, but she learned very quickly. After a few games, she was basically able to fight Feng Shuo for several rounds.

"Just playing chess is meaningless, let's raise the stakes?" Jiang Yanyi floated quickly.

Feng Shuo raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to bet?"

Jiang Yanyi stood up and ran to his desk, took a few pieces of waste paper, tore them into strips, and said excitedly: "Whoever loses will have a note stuck on his forehead."

Feng Shuo: "... childish."

Jiang Yanyi said: "Why don't you add a truth or truth? I almost beat you in the last game."

Feng Shuo didn't say anything, just snorted softly.

After a few games, Jiang Yanyi was simply beaten. The game was over before she had even made a few moves. The notes stuck on both sides of her forehead became more and more, and she had to use one hand to push them away so that they would not block her vision.

Feng Shuo was always calm and composed. He only asked Jiang Yanyi his questions slowly while drinking tea when she lost each game:

"Do you like me?"

"What do you like about me?"

"When did you start to like me?"

...

He didn't feel ashamed to ask these questions, but Jiang Yanyi's head was almost hanging to the ground.

Why did she want to compete with him in Go?

Jiang Yanyi tore off the note on her forehead and said angrily: "I'm a beginner in Go, so I can't beat you. Let's play Gobang! I will definitely beat you!"

Feng Shuo frowned: "Gobang? I haven't heard of it."

Jiang Yanyi has seen the dawn of a comeback. She has played Gobang from elementary school to high school and has almost never lost. There is no reason why she can't win.

She smiled, revealing her beautiful white teeth: "It's very simple, you can learn it in no time. Although I'm very good at playing Gobang, I will let you win in the early stage."

Feng Shuo supported his chin with one hand, his eyes fell on Jiang Yanyi's bright red lips, his eyes became deep: "You don't have to let me win, but you can place this bet again."
