The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Chapter 167: Taller than me, stronger than me, and can grow a beard

Qiao Qingyun felt that there was nothing to hide about his life experience and background, and he should make it clear. Since he liked Yan Zhennan, he should let this man know that he was not as perfect as he thought.

"After leaving the capital, my housekeeper brought me to the city, and I settled here. I passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen, but because I was convicted, I could not serve as an official in the court, so I had to stop here. I taught in the city for three years. After the housekeeper passed away, I came to Anning Town. This is the hometown of the old housekeeper, and I want him to rest in peace."

When Qiao Qingyun said this, his expression became a little more lonely.

"My grandfather was fond of literature, but my father was a martial artist. He always had high hopes for me. I am unable to fulfill his last wish, so I can only use all my assets to open a school here, hoping that someone can complete what I have not completed."

Yan Zhennan couldn't stop crying as he listened: "Wow, Ayun, you have me in the future. I am your family."

Qiao Qingyun took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears: "Actually, you look pretty ugly when you cry."

Yan Zhennan's tears stopped instantly, and he asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Qiao Qingyun's lips curled up slightly: "It's up to you, cry if you want."

Yan Zhennan took the handkerchief and wiped himself clean. He sniffed and said, "Don't cry. Crying is really stressful."

Qiao Qingyun: “…” Feelings were all fake before.

Chu Xiao: “…” His brother Shen was right. His second brother’s tears came as soon as he said so, but he didn’t expect that he could stop crying.

Only Yan Zhenshen was not surprised and even felt a little embarrassed.

The room was silent for a while, and then Yan Zhenshen spoke up: "Did you open the Ancient Dao Academy?"

Yan Zhenshen couldn't treat Qiao Qingyun coldly at this moment. Apart from other things, his father died for the country and his grandfather held a high position. The country has been peaceful and prosperous for nearly a hundred years because of the contributions of these people.

Although that uncle was a bad person, the emperor pardoned Qiao Qingyun's crime, which shows that his family's efforts were recognized by the emperor.

What's more, if he opened the Gudao Academy, it would be an even greater merit. After all, in Anning Town, the entire city only looks at talent and not family background, and the tuition fee is not high. It is really the only one like it.

"That's right." Qiao Qingyun nodded. "I once heard Zhennan mention that my younger brother was studying here. I also went to test his academic performance. I am smart and have done very well. In less than three years, I should be able to take the Tongsheng exam."

Everyone was happy to hear their own child being praised, especially Yan Zhennan, who smiled foolishly: "Ayun, you actually still remember it and went to see it secretly without telling me."

But Chu Xiao seemed to have a different focus from the others. He asked curiously, "So those rows of thatched houses, do you really want your children to study hard?"

Qiao Qingyun's expression froze, and he rarely showed a hint of embarrassment: "At that time, we didn't have enough money, so we could only build a thatched hut. But most of the students in the school are from poor families, so we shouldn't be too extravagant."

"If you want to achieve something, it is better to hang your head on the beam or prick your body with a needle."

What he said made sense. Chu Xiao nodded repeatedly. It was indeed not an exaggeration. After all, it was unclear whether the dean of their academy was in danger.

But it must have been a pain in the ass.

After all this trouble, seeing that it was getting late, although Yan Zhenshen did not object, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he offered to leave.

Yan Zhennan was reluctant to leave. After all, his wife said today that she liked him. He felt that if he left like this, he would be unworthy of his wife's true feelings.

So he followed for two steps and then stopped: "Well, big brother, how about you guys go back first and I'll come back tomorrow?"

Yan Zhenshen looked back at him, not even bothering to pay attention to him, and pulled Chu Xiao away. As for Yan Zhennan, he could do whatever he wanted.

Yan Zhennan didn't get a response, his mouth was almost grinning from ear to ear. Not objecting meant he agreed, and his elder brother wouldn't tie him up and take him back, which meant he accepted his relationship with Ayun.

After sending the two out of the alley, Yan Zhennan turned around and hugged his wife: "Ayun, my dear Ayun, I was almost scared to death today, you have to comfort me."

Qiao Qingyun naturally knew what he meant. He raised his hand to smooth his messy hair and said, "You must be hungry. Let's go back and cook first. We can talk about other things later."

Yan Zhennan kissed her on the mouth, then said happily: "Ayun, just make something simple. I just want to eat you now."

Now that they have communicated their feelings to each other, Qiao Qingyun felt a little embarrassed to hear this again, and replied lightly: "Yeah."

Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao returned home. As soon as they entered the yard, Yan Sanmei took out a handful of red dates and stuffed them into Chu Xiao's pocket like she was offering a treasure: "Brother Wang Wu came to deliver Laba porridge today, and he brought a bag of red dates with him. They are especially sweet."

Chu Xiao took one and ate it, nodding his head: "It's delicious."

Zhao Guizhi was cooking dinner at the moment. When she heard the noise, she came out of the kitchen and asked, "Did you see the guy that Lao Er liked?"

Chu Xiao was stunned. When they went out, they just said they were going out for a walk. How did his mother know that?

Yan Zhenshen was not surprised. One person took a step and the other followed, both heading towards the county town. After all, Chu Xiao was too lazy to go out in winter, and even if he went out, he would go to the back mountain.

"Yeah, I saw it." Yan Zhenshen's face didn't show any expression. After replying, he took the axe by the wall and started chopping wood. He was still angry, and since he couldn't beat Yan Zhennan, he took the firewood to vent his emotions.

It is said that no one knows a son better than his mother. Seeing Yan Zhenshen like this, Zhao Guizhi had a bad guess in her mind: "There is something wrong with that man. Could it be that what the second son said was all false? Is he engaged, or is he not from a decent family?"

Chu Xiao felt that if he directly said that he was a man, his mother might not be able to accept it, so he said tactfully: "Neither, what my second brother said is true, it's just that this person is a little special."

Zhao Guizhi heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not a special method. She asked, "What is it?"

"He, he can't have children." Chu Xiao decided to take it step by step.

Since ancient times, the three unfilial acts are to have no descendants, and the worst of them. Zhao Guizhi was indeed hesitant, but then she thought it through. If she didn't want to have a child, then she didn't have to. They could all accept their son marrying into the wife's family, so it didn't matter whether she had a child or not.

What's more, he has many sons, so he doesn't have to worry about not having grandchildren.

She accepted this calmly.

"He is older than the second brother."

Zhao Guizhi was puzzled: "Is he a widower?"

Chu Xiao shook his head: "He may be different from your traditional concept of a wife. He is taller and stronger than me, and may even have a beard."

Zhao Guizhi frowned: "What are you describing? He's taller than you, stronger than you, can't have children, and can grow a beard. Isn't that a man?"

Hey, look, this is the truth.

Chu Xiao nodded, thinking that he should be able to play the victim now. After all, his parents were kind-hearted people, and they would not make things difficult for Qiao Qingyun even if he did not accept his background.

"Mom, let me tell you in detail. This man's life story is even more miserable than mine. Originally... later... now... he independently supports the academy. He has no relatives or friends around him, and he is all alone. But he is pestered by my second brother, and his peaceful life is disturbed."

The more Zhao Guizhi listened, the more suspicious she became. Finally, she turned to look at Yan Zhenshen and said, "Boss, what's going on?"
