We haven’t seen each other for only half a year, how come my second cousin has become so good at teasing others.

Fortunately, Xie Jingyan wasn't around, otherwise if he heard it, he would definitely think of the bowl of anti-child medicine again.

Shen Wan quickly changed the subject, "How long will your second cousin be here when you come back this time?"

Yun Lang said, "I don't know either, at least I will stay until my eldest brother comes back."

The business in Kyoto is not the biggest or the most profitable for the Yun family, but it is the most difficult to do. It requires someone to take care of it at all times. In addition, Mr. Yun set the rules two years ago that the Yun family's business must be managed. But he and Mrs. Yun were getting older and wanted to enjoy family happiness, so they requested that one of their three grandchildren must stay with them. As for who would stay, they would make their own arrangements.

If Yun Qi doesn't come back for a day, Yun Lang won't be able to leave for a day. However, he hasn't been back to Beijing for half a year. When he comes back this time, he wants to stay a few more days.

During the six months since Yun Lang was away from Kyoto, he would look for strange things wherever he went, so this time he came to give Shen Wan a gift. There were two big boxes.

In the study, Xie Jingyan was reading when the maid knocked on the door and went in to report, "Your Majesty, the second young master of the Yun family is here."

Hearing that it was Shen Wan's second cousin who had arrived, Xie Jingyan put down the half-read book in his hand and walked out of the study.

As he walked through the corridor, he saw Shen Wan and Yun Lang coming in chatting and laughing from a distance. When he walked over, he happened to hear Shen Wan ask his second cousin, "Where are my cousins? Why didn't they talk to my second cousin?" stand up?"

Yun Lang smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence that I came back. They went to Huguo Temple with their grandmother to pray for you early in the morning, so I came here by myself."

Shen Wan, "...???"

"Pray for me?" Shen Wan was confused.

How to properly pray for her?

Yun Lang said, "I heard from the maid next to my grandmother that she dreamed last night that you gave birth to twins for Prince Ling. She was very happy when she woke up. She made an impromptu trip to the Huguo Temple while having breakfast."

It's a pity that he rushed back quickly, but everyone was not at the house except for his grandfather, who was still busy tasting wine and ignored him.

Shen Wan's ears were red, and they said she thought about things day by day and dreamed about them at night. How much her grandmother wanted her to have a baby as soon as possible. She also dreamed that she would give birth to twins, and how much incense would have to be burned to have such a blessing.

No wonder the second cousin said something about drinking full moon wine just now, and those who didn't know thought she was pregnant.

Afraid of being overheard by Xie Jingyan, Shen Wan whispered, "Cousin, don't mention it in front of Prince Ling..."

Just when he said this, Yin Shuang pulled off Yunxiu fiercely.

Shen Wan looked up and saw Xie Jingyan walking over. Shen Wan felt that Yin Shuang had saved her life.

She was so focused on listening to her cousin's words that she didn't notice Xie Jingyan coming over. He must have heard what her cousin just said so loudly. She said it softly, so he... probably didn't hear her, right?

Shen Wan's heart was trembling with guilt.

Xie Jingyan walked over and glanced at Shen Wan's face. Shen Wan knew that he had heard what he said. Yun Lang looked at Shen Wan with a strange expression. He didn't know what his cousin told him not to mention in front of King Ling. , this was only half of what he was saying. It was his first visit, so he didn't want to violate Prince Ling's taboo and cause trouble for his cousin.

Yun Lang greeted Xie Jingyan, and Xie Jingyan supported him and said, "You are Wan'er's cousin, there is no need to see me outside."

"I heard from your elder brother that your chess skills are better than his. If you're not busy, would you like to play a game with me?"

Yun Lang smiled and agreed, "I will accompany you."

Xie Jingyan invited Yun Lang to go to the study. Yun Lang fell two steps behind and looked at Shen Wan, "What did my cousin ask me not to mention in front of King Ling?"

Shen Wan didn't dare to say anything, but she was afraid that her cousin would be worried if she talked to Xie Jingyan, so she could only complete the unfinished words and whispered, "Don't mention the child."

Yun Lang, "...???"

He looked confused.

Why can't you mention it?

Isn’t it normal to have children after getting married?

Could it be that Prince Ling has a hidden illness...

This speculation flashed through his mind, and Yun Lang's heart trembled. Fortunately, his cousin reminded him, otherwise if he mentioned it in front of King Ling, he would be adding salt to other people's wounds.

Seeing that Yun Lang didn't follow, Xie Jingyan turned around and saw Shen Wan whispering to Yun Lang. Although he knew that their cousins ​​were as close as real brothers and sisters, they were just cousins ​​in the end. In front of him and all the maids and wives, There was no shyness in his face, and Xie Jingyan's palms were itching.

Shen Wan noticed Xie Jingyan looking at them and said quickly, "Then you go play chess and I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some pastries."

After saying that, he hurried back to the house.

Yinshuang wanted to laugh. The princess was wrong about the medicine to avoid children, and she didn't dare to say a word in front of the prince. She was so nervous that she couldn't tell the difference between the kitchen and the inner room.

Yinshuang asked Dong'er to go to the big kitchen to send a message and ask the imperial chef to make some snacks and deliver them.

Besides, after Shen Wan returned to the house, the two large boxes brought by Yun Lang were carried in. Shen Wan was really curious about what gifts her second cousin had brought for her. Once the boxes were opened, they were filled with novelties unique to each state and county. She was dazzled by the toys and couldn't put them down.

Half an hour had passed since Shen Wan went through the contents of the two large boxes. By the time Shen Wan went to the study, Xie Jingyan and Yun Lang had already finished a game of chess and sent Yun Lang out of the house.

Shen Wan said, "Second cousin will be leaving soon after he comes?"

Yun Lang said, "I'm going to Huguo Temple to pick up my grandmother and the others. I won't stay too much today. I'll come back another day when I have time."

Shen Wan knew that he had been away from Beijing for a long time and must have missed his grandmother and the others, so she did not try to persuade him to stay and sent him away with Xie Jingyan.

When he arrived at the gate, he watched Yun Lang ride away before turning around and heading back home.

Shen Wan wanted to ask Xie Jingyan if she knew about her eldest brother's departure from Beijing, but there were people everywhere, so she held back. When she returned to Mo Yuxuan, Xie Jingyan went to the study, and Shen Wan followed.

Xie Jingyan knew that Shen Wan had something to ask him, so he said, "I've been patient all this time. Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Shen Wan said, "Do you know about my eldest brother's departure from Beijing?"

"know."

The answer was very straightforward.

Shen Wan opened her eyes wide, "You know, but you didn't even tell me."

If her second cousin hadn't come and mentioned it, she didn't know when she would have found out.

Xie Jingyan said, "I thought you knew that your eldest brother had no time to leave Beijing so I asked you to thank me on my behalf."

Shen Wan said, "Where is my eldest brother?"

"Meizhou."

Shen Wan asked, "Were you also there about the Meizhou earthquake?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Not entirely."

Shen Wan looked at him puzzled.

Xie Jingyan said, "According to your dream, there was an earthquake in Meizhou, and the official road collapsed. Food and medicinal materials could not be transported in, and many people died of starvation and illness. Forget the medicinal materials, but the starvation of the people should not happen."

Shen Wan said, "Why do you say that?"

"There is a granary in Meizhou."

Shen Wan was stunned.

She didn't know there was a granary in Meizhou, but if there were granaries, how could so many people starve to death? The Meizhou government wasn't so pedantic that it wouldn't open a granary to provide disaster relief, right?

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, "Are you suspecting that there is no more food in the Meizhou granary?"

Xie Jingyan nodded, "Although the Yun family has a grain store in Meizhou, the business is not good. Transferring grain from other prefectures and counties to Meizhou will not only make no money, but will even cause losses. Those shopkeepers don't agree with your cousin. You transported so much food to Meizhou, and your eldest cousin came to you that day just to know why you wanted to send food to Meizhou."

Yun Qi didn't know about Shen Yuan's dream, but Xie Jingyan and Shen Du believed it.

Both of them suspected that the grain hoarded in the Meizhou granary had been sold privately. If they didn't know, forget it. If they knew, they would definitely take care of it. But checking the grain was not a trivial matter. Yun Qi could only ensure that after the earthquake in Meizhou, the people of Meizhou would take it. Money can buy food, so you won't go hungry, let alone starve to death, but Yun Qi can't control the matter of checking food and grass.

Xie Jingyan said, "I can't leave the capital at will, so your eldest brother has to go."

Shen Wan had no objection to the arrangements they made, but Shen Li had an accident, and the second wife was angry with her eldest brother. The eldest brother was more comfortable after leaving Beijing, but if the food in the Meizhou granary was really misappropriated, it would be inevitable for the eldest brother to investigate this matter. It will cause an uproar in Meizhou, and the eldest brother will also be in danger.

Shen Wan's heart lifted unconsciously.

Sensing Shen Wan's worry, Xie Jingyan comforted her and said, "Your eldest brother is just going to investigate secretly. With his skills, nothing will happen."

After a pause, Xie Jingyan added, "Your elder brother has other things to do."

Shen Wan was curious, "What else is going on?"

Xie Jingyan was about to tell Shen Wan when Haitang ran in and said anxiously, "Princess, it's not good, the cousin has had an accident at Huguo Temple."
