Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan couldn't help but sigh, and felt even more sad in his heart. Although in Ye Changyan's opinion, his aunt's behavior was no different from selling her daughter, in this era where parents' orders and matchmakers' words were important, even Sun Yitong herself might not be able to fight for a good result. So what qualifications and position did he have to express his opinion on his aunt's behavior?

Thinking of this, Ye Changyan's expression became a little lonely. Now he was getting deeper and deeper into Liang Jingcheng's arms. Not to mention that Liang Jingcheng was born in a prominent general's family, there was already a huge gap in their family backgrounds.

Although the customs of this dynasty are open-minded and there are precedents of two men being together, it is by no means an easy thing for two men to be together. Ye Changyan doesn't even dare to think about the difficulties and obstacles they may face.

Even if two men love each other, when faced with numerous obstacles, how many of them can stay together for life?

Everyone present noticed that Ye Changyan was in a low mood. Wulang, Erniu and Zhong Yunfeng all felt that the eldest aunt's approach was indeed a bit too realistic and she didn't care whether Sun Yitong was happy or not. When they first learned the news, even Wulang's emotions fluctuated. It was completely within their expectations that Ye Changyan would show such emotions.

Liang Jingcheng, who was standing next to Ye Changyan, thought the same thing as Ye Changyan. Liang Jingcheng believed that his feelings for Ye Changyan had reached the point where he could not extricate himself. Especially in the past few months after the flood, Ye Changyan's constantly new tricks in bed often made him on the verge of being unable to resist, but he was hopelessly addicted and allowed him to have whatever he wanted.

Whenever Ye Changyan's face turned red and Liang Jingcheng could clearly feel that he was exhausted and about to collapse, Ye Changyan always managed to retain the last bit of rationality and would never rush into the sky alone. He would appropriately push both of them to the clouds together.

Liang Jingcheng clearly remembered that after every passionate moment, Ye Changyan would gently embrace him in his warm arms like a white cloud in the sky, and gently lick the sensitive area of his body that only Ye Changyan knew about, until he fell asleep like a child.

Although Liang Jingcheng also knew that his and Ye Changyan's future might face many obstacles, he always believed that as long as the two trusted each other, there would be no obstacles that could not be overcome.

Ye Changyan felt the familiar fragrance approaching him, and then he felt Liang Jingcheng patting his shoulder gently. Ye Changyan understood what Liang Jingcheng meant from his actions. He put away his depressed mood, turned his head slightly, and gave Liang Jingcheng a firm look with a little comfort.

Originally, Ye Changyan planned to take his younger brothers and sisters to visit Shengjing City for two days, and then set off for Yujing Palace on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month. However, Wulang and Erniu missed their parents so much that they wished they could see them immediately.

So Ye Changyan asked Aunt Zhen to prepare a few simple dishes. The brothers and sisters had a simple brunch, then got on the carriage and headed straight for Mangshan in the northern suburbs of Shengjing City.

Ye Changyan did not ask anyone to prepare a separate carriage. With the three siblings, Liang Jingcheng and Zhong Yunfeng, the five of them could squeeze into one carriage without seeming too crowded. Most of the time, Zhong Yunfeng sat outside the carriage with Lu Tingfeng, who was driving. Although it was extremely cold outside the carriage, laughter could be heard from inside the carriage from time to time, and Zhong Yunfeng could not suppress a smile on his face.

The siblings, who had not seen each other for more than a year, had endless topics to talk about. Liang Jingcheng listened with great interest along the way. In his mind, he had long regarded Wulang and Erniu as his own brothers and sisters. When he heard the siblings chatting happily, he could not help but laugh along.

Wulang is smart. According to what Wulang said, Mr. Xia plans to let him try to take the examination for Tongsheng. Therefore, Wulang and several other children were assigned to a separate class. Mr. Xia adjusted the course schedule specifically for these children who are capable of taking the examination for Tongsheng.

Originally, Mr. Xia was not very willing to let Wulang come to Shengjing. It was a long way from Yuzhou to Shengjing. The round trip would take at least two or three months, and at most half a year. Mr. Xia was worried that Wulang would neglect his studies because of this trip.

Wu Lang repeatedly assured Mr. Xia that he would not neglect his studies, and Mr. Xia also knew that as a child, filial piety comes first. Moreover, Wu Lang had indeed been very self-disciplined in the past and had good learning ability. In addition, Zhong Yunfeng also visited him and promised that he would supervise Wu Lang's studies. Only then did Mr. Xia agree. However, Mr. Xia assigned Wu Lang heavy homework and made a long list of books.

However, Wu Lang did not complain at all. Instead, he accepted it with pleasure and before leaving, he once again assured Mr. Xia that he would not delay his studies. Only then did Mr. Xia feel relieved.

"Since Mr. Xia thinks so highly of you, you should not let him down. If you have any questions or don't understand something, you can ask me or go find your elder brother Liang. Your elder brother Liang's level of knowledge in classics and poetry is much higher than mine. You should learn from him."

Wu Lang bowed to Liang Jingcheng with a humbly look on his face, and Liang Jingcheng waved at him.

"Wu Lang, you and I are brothers. There's no need to be so polite. If there's anything I can help you with, just ask."

The carriage headed north, and after passing through the endless plains and entering the hilly area, the sky became increasingly gray. When Wulang and Erniu saw Ye Changyan pointing to the towering mountains in the distance and introducing that it was Mangshan, where the Yujing Palace was located, they were both very excited.

Zhong Yunfeng, who had been to Yujing Palace once, described it to them as a paradise on earth, so the brother and sister were really looking forward to it.

Just as they were about to reach the foot of Mangshan Mountain, snowflakes began to float in the sky. For Wulang and Erniu, who grew up in Youzhou, seeing snow with their own eyes was the first time in their lives. The brother and sister were extremely excited. If it were not for the fact that it was getting late, they would have asked Brother Lu to stop the carriage, jump out and appreciate the beauty of the snow.

Before arriving at the foot of Mangshan Mountain, the brother and sister stretched their hands out of the car window from time to time. Wulang's palms had already been frozen red, but he excitedly squeezed the snow on his sleeves into a snowball.

"Wow! The snow is so white! Brother, can I take a bite of the snow in my hand?"

Although Ye Changyan knew that the snowflakes in his previous life were not as pure white as they appeared on the surface, but in this time and space without industrial pollution, perhaps even the snowflakes would be much purer. Seeing Wulang's expectant eyes, Ye Changyan smiled and nodded.
