Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Shi Yan looked down at his legs and feet, which were tightly covered by the blanket. He felt that it was impossible to determine where the injury was just looking at himself.

"It doesn't hurt much anymore," Shi Yan said, "I just can't walk around freely, and now I'm heavy, and I'm afraid I might accidentally put all my weight on my left leg."

Yan Jiu nodded: "Be careful, you are not alone after all."

After saying this, Yan Jiu pursed his lips and paused for a while before hesitating to speak.

"I'm sorry, Shiyan...I caused your injury."

Shiyan's eyes widened, and she looked at Yan Jiu puzzled, not understanding why he said that.Although Yan Jiu always thought he was not pleasing to the eye, and he was indeed somewhat arrogant at ordinary times, but he had the pride of a good family boy, and he disdained to play some insidious tricks behind his back.Shi Yan didn't believe that Yan Jiu would do such a thing that he either ignored people he didn't like, or choked up in front of him, and hurt people behind his back.

Recalling the situation that day, Shi Yan asked uncertainly: "That carriage is...?"

"Yes, it's my family's carriage." Yan Jiu admitted straightforwardly.

Shi Yan frowned, stared at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Yan Jiu, you didn't do it on purpose, what's going on?"

Hearing what Shi Yan said, Yan Jiu showed a complicated expression on his face, and after a while, a wry smile hung on his lips.

"Thank you for trusting me." He whispered to Shiyan.

Shi Yan just shook his head, and asked him: "What's going on, although I didn't see it clearly, but I vaguely think that the driver is an official, not you."

As soon as the words were finished, Shi Yan saw Yan Jiu's expression change, and he was actually ashamed and angry.

"Yes, he's a gentleman," Yan Jiu said through gritted teeth, his fingertips clutching his cuffs tightly, as if trying to contain his anger, "He even put on a cloak to block the snow so that no one could see his face."

"Who is he?"

As soon as these words came out, the embarrassment and anger on Yan Jiu's face became even worse.

"He is... the man who almost became my husband-in-law."

Shiyan was taken aback, but he didn't interject, just endured the question, and quietly listened to Yan Jiu's angry narration.

Yan Jiu has an exquisite appearance and a wealthy family, so he never needs to worry about marriage.But he has a high vision, and he doesn't even look down on anyone who asks someone to tell him. The family probably thinks that if Yan Jiu is willing, he can let him go immediately, and he is not in a hurry, so he dragged it until he was 17 years old. .

Seeing that Shi Yan, who is one year older than himself, has a good home, it would be a lie to say that Yan Jiu is not in a hurry, and only now is he willing to get along with the person he is talking about.That Lang Guan is a businessman, he has traveled to many places, has a lot of knowledge, and has a lot of money. After chatting with him, he found that he is indeed a smart person. With the repeated assurances of the recruiter, Yan Jiu also believed that this person is good, so he silently They lived together for several months, and after their birthdays, the family began to consider marriage for them.

Yan Jiu did not refuse.Originally planned to make an appointment before the year, and find an auspicious day after the new year to hold the ceremony, but I didn't expect that after going to Xijiu drunk with Yan Jiu, that person would have a bad idea.

Xijiuzui's hot wine is an exclusive method, other people have not come to inquire about it, but they were all rejected by the shopkeeper, saying that the young master has an order and cannot disclose it for the time being.Luo Yue pays attention to kindness and morality, since people can't say it, no one insists on it.But that person actually wanted to peek at Xi Jiu's drunkenness and steal the method.

Knowing the man's thoughts, Yan Jiu naturally blocked him. Seeing Yan Jiu's firm objection, the other party pretended to give up. After opening the carriage door to let Yan Jiu get into the car, he actually knocked Yan Jiu out and tied him up with a rope. He got up and blocked his mouth with a handkerchief.

When the man went to Yan Jiu's house to pick him up, he said that it would be good for the two of them to walk around, and no one should follow.The carriage was parked in the alley again, no one noticed that Yan Jiu was treated like this.

Leaving the unconscious Yan Jiu in the carriage, the man walked around to Xi Jiuzui's backyard and climbed up the courtyard wall.A new acacia tree was planted in the backyard, and the tree was covered with snow, so he hid his figure behind the tree and peeked at the situation in the kitchen.

Xijiuzuitangjiu was really near the backyard, and opened a small room next to the kitchen. Because they wanted to burn ink and charcoal, they opened the window, which happened to let the person have a look.

Here, Yan Jiu didn't know how long it took to wake up, and when he looked at his body, he felt cold. That person actually did that kind of dirty thing.He was angry and anxious, if that person was discovered, his family's reputation would be tarnished by that person, but Yan Jiu felt that he had to be discovered, how could he let that person succeed.So he struggled hard, trying to break free from the rope.He thought that the carriage was probably still parked in the alley, and his mouth was gagged again, so he probably didn't expect passers-by to hear him whining a few times, so he could only rely on himself.

Maybe it was because he moved too much. The man saw the carriage shaking from the wall, and he might have panicked, so he jumped off and ran back to the carriage. Without looking at Yan Jiu's situation in the carriage, he jumped onto the shaft and threw it violently. The whip rushed to the road.

The carriage ran up suddenly, Yan Jiu was unprepared in the carriage, and hit the wall of the carriage.Before he could feel the pain, he heard "Young Madam" outside the car.

For some reason, Yan Jiu intuitively felt that it was Shi Yan who shouted, and he hurriedly looked out the window. The carriage was running so fast that people could no longer see clearly, but several people gathered in front of Xi Jiuzui's door.

Xijiu drunk young lady, it must be Shiyan, I don't know if he hit him or what, Yan Jiu continued to struggle with the rope while the carriage was jolting, feeling a little anxious, but he heard that Shiyan was pregnant Well, if something goes wrong, he can't even imagine the consequences.

"Then how did you escape?" Shi Yan was startled and asked him hastily.

Seeing that his upper body was leaning forward, Yan Jiu couldn't help reaching out and pushing him back onto the back of the wheelchair with a little force.

"He didn't go far out of the city, so he stopped the carriage casually and ran away. It was the guard guarding the city gate who saw that the carriage was going too fast, and felt that something was wrong, so he followed two people out to check. I happened to put the handkerchief in my mouth I spit it out, and when I called for help, they heard it." These two sentences lost their anger after a long time, and they were spoken flatly, as if they didn't take it seriously, but after he finished speaking, he let out a long breath.

"Why did that man treat you like this!" Shi Yan thought that since he was going to be engaged, even if his heart was not right, he should at least feel sorry for his future husband, but he didn't expect to go so far.Seeing that Yan Jiu's expression was not good, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he asked, "Are you okay? It's freezing cold, you were knocked out and hit by the car again, did you catch a cold?"

Yan Jiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, and replied: "When I got home, I collapsed after talking to my father and lay on the bed for three or four days. of."

"Why did you just ask about me?" Yan Jiu raised his eyebrows suddenly, and stared at Shi Yan disapprovingly, "What you should ask is whether Xi Jiu's secret recipe for drunk hot wine has been stolen. Where is it right? Why are you a young lady!"

Shi Yan held back her smile and nodded: "Yes, you are right. So, where is that bastard now?"

Yan Jiu glared at him, then glanced away and said, "I heard from my father that he seemed to have sneaked back that night and went to Dulelou, saying that he wanted to sell the secret recipe of Xijiu's drunken hot wine to Dulelou. What kind of family is that in Dulelou? How could he want something he stole in such a despicable way. He was supposed to be sent to the government, but he slipped away and left the city overnight."

In fact, Shiyan is quite at ease about the food business in Yincheng. Before Xi Jiuzui, he publicly said that the method of scalding wine will not be spread to the outside world for the time being. Everyone knows that if someone suddenly comes to sell it, he will naturally suspect that it is not the right way.

Yan Jiu continued: "I think he probably went to the north, maybe he will go to Beijing. He said before that the best price for business transactions is still in Beijing. Moreover, he has a small house in Beijing. He said no. He must have gone there. My father has been searched for, but..."

He looked at Shiyan and lowered his head: "Father and I originally thought about going to Xi Jiuzui and going to Yun's house to apologize to you. After all, it was I who harmed you. If I hadn't brought you That bastard will not have such a thing until Xijiu gets drunk. I asked someone to inquire about it the next day. Fortunately, you just sprained your ankle... It's just that my dad stopped you, saying that it's almost Chinese New Year. It's too embarrassing, I'll catch someone and tell you... As you said to me here last year, we are indeed too selfish, sorry."

At this point, the whole matter was finally finished, Shi Yan heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled to comfort Yan Jiu.The method of scalding wine is not much to look at. The temperature is something that you have to master yourself. The essence of the key.

As for Yan Jiu's self-blame, Shi Yan felt it was unnecessary, even if he didn't take that bastard to Xi Jiu Zui that day, he would go there one day, and the result was still the same, the only difference was whether he was there at the time or whether he would be caught. hit.This has nothing to do with Yan Jiu, let alone being harmed by Yan Jiu.After listening to Yan Jiu's words, Shi Yan felt fortunate that nothing major happened to her, and Yan Jiu was fine, and it was a blessing to find out that the other party was not a good man before getting married.

Shiyan always remembers what her husband said, as long as people are safe, any problem is not a problem.

"You're not in a hurry." Yan Jiu was a little embarrassed by Shi Yan's comfort, "What if he goes to Beijing and sells your secret recipe for Xi Jiu's drunkenness?"

Shi Yan laughed when he heard the words: "Are you used to drinking hot wine? He might still sell it in Yincheng. Who in Beijing drinks hot wine? If he sells it, does anyone dare to buy it?"

Only then did Yan Jiu look stunned.

After finishing the matter, I was sure that Shiyan really didn't mean to blame herself, but instead comforted herself not to worry too much. Yanjiu felt that the guilt feeling in his heart had finally eased a little. Today, regardless of his father's objection, he insisted on going up the mountain to see Shi Yan, you did the right thing.

Yan Jiu's brows that had been furrowed finally relaxed a little. At this moment, he took a closer look at Shi Yan's whole body, and said with emotion: "Master Yun is so kind to you, you look really good."

Shi Yan smiled, it was the first time he had a normal chat with Yan Jiu, he felt very fresh.In the past, he didn't like to see Yan Jiu and his courtiers, and he actually didn't like to see them in his heart.After all these years, it was the first time that Shi Yan took a serious look at Yan Jiu.

"What happened in the past... was my fault." As if the conversation had started, Yan Jiu said naturally, "Now that I think about it, maybe everything I did to you was wrong, and I ended up in this situation. Today's newspaper, right?"

Seeing Yanjiu's bleak smile, Shiyan shook her head, and just wanted to comfort her, but she heard Yanjiu continue to say, "I am nineteen years old this year. I think I used to have my eyes set above the top, and I felt that my conditions were very good. Pick this and that, and in the end, won’t you be allowed to be appointed by the government at random? It’s really self-inflicted."

"There is still one year left, why do you think so now?" Shi Yan couldn't help but frowned and said to him, "You also know that your conditions are good, why are you afraid that you won't be able to go out? Don't we have a good man in Yincheng? ? Unless you still want both talent and appearance."

Yan Jiu stiffened up when he heard this, and retorted: "Why do I care about these things? That bastard is talented and good-looking, and he has repeatedly guaranteed his job, but let's see the result? Not everyone can do it like this. Young Master Yun is like that. If I still pay attention to being well-matched, in Yincheng, I can only serve as a servant for others, and I don't want it. "

Shi Yan knew that he was frightened by this incident, and didn't know how to comfort him.Most of the 20-year-old Langguans with good families in the city have already taken marriages, and there is indeed no suitable one.That's why Moucai introduced someone from other places, but it's a pity that this is the result.

The two of them were silent for a while, and suddenly, Yan Jiu started talking to himself: "Why don't I go for the taller ones? I'll go for the lower ones? The lower ones won't be so cunning... Hey, Shiyan, Among the peasant households on the outskirts of your city, are there any Lang Guan who have not married yet?"

Shi Yan looked at the serious person in front of her, her eyes widened and she opened her mouth, unable to speak for a while.

On the way back to Yun's house, when I told her husband in the sedan chair, his shoulders trembled with laughter, and Shiyan couldn't help but pat him.

"What are you laughing at? I'm just scared. You don't know. Yan Jiu used to only see people with land, houses, and shops, as well as talent and good looks. Nothing less will do, and it won't matter if you recruit a wife." If you are willing, wouldn't I be surprised if you suddenly told me to look for a farmer?"

"Yes, yes, my wife is not wrong at all." Xia Yue barely stopped laughing, and pinched Shiyan's face, "But, don't just be so surprised that you don't answer people, they force people to wave to me directly." Passed. Seeing how hard he recruited, I thought something was wrong, hahaha."

Shi Yan couldn't help laughing at the thought of Yan Jiu standing up and beckoning her husband over with a blushing face.He never knew that Yan Jiu could be so cute.

"Why don't you introduce him? I remember seeing several good-looking Langguans. There are many brothers in the farm family, and the land is probably not enough. If he doesn't reject recruiting a man now, he will accept one for their family Taking care of the business is also good, so I changed the farming to planting flowers and plants."

Hearing what her husband said, Shiyan was really moved.There is a chess club in Yan Jiu's family, and Yan Jiu can take care of it by himself, but Yan Jiu's father's flower garden cannot be taken over by just anyone, and the flower garden is full of precious flowers and plants, let alone in Yincheng , there are many dignitaries in Beijing to order.Although growing flowers and plants is quite different from farming, the farmer's understanding of the soil and weather, as well as their care and patience, cannot be compared with just anyone.

"However," Shiyan hesitated, "I don't know if he is serious. It's really my fault. If I just follow his words, I can know whether he is really willing to find a farmer. .”

Xia Yue kissed his hair on the temples, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it depends on what Shi Yan thinks, whether you want to continue dating him. If you remember that he treated you badly before, we will treat it as nothing. If you If you want to associate with him, then wait until the New Year is over and invite him to your home to chat with you, then you can just ask him."

Shi Yan listened and nodded, then asked her husband: "Do you want me to introduce you to him?"

"Hmm..." Xia Yue tilted his head, and said after deliberation, "Actually, I really don't care. I just feel that if Shiyan is willing, we will help. If it is twenty, the government will randomly point out a person to barely live , is very pitiful."

In Luo Yue, who advocates the freedom of love, an arranged marriage can be regarded as a miserable thing in the eyes of others. That's why when Shiyan Xu entered Yun's house, the people in Yincheng looked down on this marriage so much.It's better if my father arranges it, at least for the sake of his own officials or officials, try to choose a good partner. That's it.

So Shiyan thought in her heart, if Yan Jiu was really willing to let go of her airs, then he would help.

"By the way, Mr. Yan, Yan Jiu came to me today to tell me something."

I will mention Yan Jiu's marriage first, because Xia Yue was so impressed by the blushing and self-willed young man. When he got on the sedan chair, he asked Shi Yan what made him look like that, so Shi Yan had no choice but to say it first. The latter part.Now that this matter is finished, he straightened his expression and talked about the most important thing.

After hearing Shi Yan's words, Xia Yue shook his head in disbelief.

"Hiding on the wall to peek? It's cold, and he really has perseverance. This kind of thing can't be done by ordinary people, right? Courage and action are very good, but it's useless."

Although Shi Yan comforted Yan Jiu to let the other party not care, but at the moment she felt a little uneasy, so she asked her husband: "Sir, that person may have gone to Beijing, look..."

Xia Yue grabbed Fu Lang's hand and gently pinched it, saying: "You're right, I'm not worried that he will be sold in Beijing, of course, I'm not afraid even if he is sold, anyway, our Xijiuzui business is going to be sold again. If you can’t go to Beijing, it won’t affect anything.”

However, at the next moment, Xia Yue stopped what he was doing, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes darkened: "However, when I go back, I still write a letter to Yougong, asking him to help keep an eye on that person. The matter of stealing the secret recipe We don't care about it, he treats a courtier like that, and it made my husband sprain his feet, so I can't forgive him for not sending him to prison."

Thinking that Shi Yan and the baby in her womb would be hurt if something went wrong, Xia Yue couldn't restrain the resentment in his heart.At first he thought it was an accident, and he couldn't find the source of his anger, so he didn't take it to heart, and only focused on taking good care of Fu Lang.Now let him know that all of this is a scum who covets his family's secret recipe for Xijiu's drunken hot wine, and even used violence against a courtier, causing his precious husband to be injured. Calm your anger.

Shiyan doesn't think the ruthless husband in front of him is scary at all. Although there is a big gap with his usual gentle appearance, he feels sweet when he thinks it is for himself.

What's more, that is indeed a scumbag, Shi Yan also hates it in her heart.Whether it's stealing the secret recipe or committing violence, it's a great evil for Luo Yue who pays attention to kindness and morality. Not to mention the law, even the people of Yincheng can drown that bastard on the road by spitting on their stars.
