Everyone in the general's mansion was surprised to see Ye Chuntang, especially Madam Ye, who thought she would not be able to see her son for some time.

I didn't expect him to return home so soon.

"Mother, I know I was wrong."

In front of everyone, Ye Chunan kowtowed to Madam Ye to admit his mistake and personally served tea.

"Chun An is still filial."

Second Madam Yang tried to smooth things over.

Madam Ye snorted, "He still has a conscience."

Although she was being ruthless, she took the tea handed to her by Ye Chunan and took a sip. She glared at him and said, "At least you still have some brains and haven't been deceived by women outside. How could you possibly be favored by an Oiran? She came here for our Ye family, and you are so foolish as to think it is true love? Don't you see that you are..."

"mother!"

Ye Chunan interrupted the lady and said with a red face, "Yan Yan is not that kind of person."

Madam Ye was stunned.

She thought her son had finally seen through the evil woman's thoughts and came home to admit his mistake, but she didn't expect that he was still so stubborn?

Yan Qing coughed lightly at the side: "Aunt, it's a good thing that my cousin can come back..."

Mrs. Ye also knew that she couldn't force her stupid son.

The more he pushes himself, the tighter he holds on to some things.

With a "dong" sound, Madam Ye put down her teacup and snorted coldly, "In that case, you can leave after dinner!"

So as to avoid getting upset in front of her!

Ye Chunan immediately looked at Gu Huaizhou, his eyes shining: "I still have to discuss scriptures with Brother Gu."

So, the group had lunch in relative harmony.

Yan Qing accompanied Old Madam Ye for a walk, Ye Chunan took Gu Huaizhou to read under a tree, and the brothers Ye Mingquan and Ye Mingxuan were playing Cuju in the yard, attracting cheers from the nearby maids and servants.

The first wife, Mrs. Xue, and the second wife, Mrs. Yang, one looks after the account books and the other works as a maid.

The whole picture is quiet and warm.

It's nothing like the intrigues among the various prefectures in Kyoto.

Yan Qing originally wanted to accompany his grandmother for a while and then return to the Yan Mansion, but when he saw the peaceful scene in the general's mansion, he was forced to stay.

This time I stayed and even had dinner.

By the time she, Gu Huaizhou and her cousin left the general's mansion, it was already dark.

"Brother Gu, can I still come to you?"

When they parted, Ye Chunan was reluctant to leave Gu Huaizhou: "Chunan still wants to read books and play chess with Brother Gu."

Gu Huaizhou smiled and said, "Of course."

Ye Chunan said in surprise: "Then I will go to Yan's house tomorrow!"

Gu Huaizhou shook his head and said, "Would you please come to the General's Mansion at noon tomorrow?"

Ye Chunan and Yan Qing looked at him at the same time.

Gu Huaizhou smiled shyly at Yan Qing: "Old Madam Ye said that my cousin and I should go to dine with her every day."

Yan Qing: “!”

Ye Chunan said excitedly: "Okay!"

This way he can see Brother Gu every day!

"Brother Gu, see you tomorrow!"

Ye Chunan waved to the two of them and left happily.

It took Yan Qing a long while to react. She stared at Gu Huaizhou with wide eyes: "When did grandma say that? How come I didn't know?"

"Told it to me secretly."

Gu Huaizhou said cunningly: "From now on, I'll trouble my cousin to bring me to the general's mansion every day..."

"You deliberately!"

Yan Qing said angrily: "I won't accompany you!"

After saying that, she turned around and strode away, completely ignoring the man behind her.

Gu Huaizhou followed him on his own accord, sighing, "Then I'll have to go to the General's Mansion by myself every day. If anyone asks, I'll just say that the old lady has taken a liking to me and wants me to be..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yan Qing suddenly turned around and said angrily, "Gu Huaizhou, if you keep talking nonsense, I won't pay any attention to you!"

Gu Huaizhou blinked his eyes: "Nonsense? Madam Ye wants me to be the eldest son's teacher, how can it be nonsense?"

Yan Qing's expression froze: "Teacher?"

Gu Huaizhou nodded and asked innocently, "What did you think it was, cousin?"

"I thought it was..."

Yan Qing's fair cheeks instantly turned red.

She thought her grandmother wanted Gu Huaizhou and her...

Seeing the woman's embarrassment, Gu Huaizhou did not continue to embarrass her, but said seriously, "The eldest son has a simple mind, so he was easily deceived by Wei Yanyan. Fortunately, his thirst for knowledge is greater than anything else.

If I give him a lecture every day at the General's Mansion, it will help ease the relationship between him and his family. Secondly, Wei Yanyan will be exposed if she sees that the eldest son returns to the General's Mansion every day without her. This will also allow the eldest son to see her true colors sooner."

The low, magnetic voice slowly and leisurely penetrated into Yan Qing's ears, instantly calming her anxious heart.

She didn't expect Gu Huaizhou to think of this.

Yan Qing pursed her lips: "Why do you want to help my cousin?"

The man looked at her: "What do you think?"

Yan Qing raised her eyes and met the man's serious and affectionate eyes.

The dark pupils were deep and gloomy, but they reflected only her, so clear and so clean.

Yan Qing's heart suddenly tightened.

It seemed as if something was about to jump uncontrollably.

She suddenly turned her head away, and after a while, she said softly, "Thank you."

The man's eyes instantly lit up with joy.

Gu Huaizhou stared at Yan Qing's back with burning eyes, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Qingqing, I will wait for you, until the day you open your heart to me."

"Back home."

Yan Qing ran away instantly out of embarrassment.

Gu Huaizhou just stood there, smiling foolishly.

……

the other side.

Ye Chunan returned to his courtyard excitedly.

He bought this courtyard with the silver Yan Qing gave him that day. It was small and shabby, but for a nerd, there was no difference between a golden house and a humble room.

For example, now, Ye Chunan's mind is full of the wonderful ideas that Gu Huaizhou told him, and he didn't notice at all that only half of his door is left.

He didn't even see Wei Yanyan who was sitting in the yard.

He walked straight into the house.

"Son~"

As he entered the room, a soft voice behind him finally woke Ye Chunan from his immersion.

He turned around and saw Wei Yanyan sitting in the yard. He asked in confusion, "Ah? Yanyan? Why are you sitting outside?"

Wei Yanyan looked at the food on the table and said sadly, "Didn't the master tell me to go home and wait for you? Yanyan prepared the food and has been waiting here for you."

Ye Chunan said casually: "Then you can eat it yourself. I have already eaten at the General's Mansion."

Wei Yanyan: “…”

In the past, Ye Chunan would always accompany her for meals no matter what.

Seeing that he was about to go into the house again, Wei Yanyan suddenly held her abdomen and let out a soft cry.

Ye Chunan immediately stepped forward: "Yanyan, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Yanyan looked at the simple meal on the table and said aggrievedly, "Maybe I haven't eaten well recently and my stomach is upset?"

Ye Chunan also looked towards the table.

There were three dishes and a soup on the old wooden table: a plate of vegetables, a plate of tofu, a small plate of pickles and a bowl of egg soup.

Ye Chunan picked up a piece of tofu with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a few times, he said, "It's delicious! These vegetables look good too. Don't you like them?"

Wei Yanyan: “…………”

Who likes to eat vegetables and tofu?

She took a deep breath and asked, "Young Master, you're back so late. I bet the food at the General's Mansion is delicious, right?"

"It's okay. It's all what I'm used to. Crystal Sashimi, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Wensi Tofu... It's just like that. I came back late today because Brother Gu told me..."

"Son!"

Seeing Ye Chunan about to brag again, Wei Yanyan suddenly interrupted him. Looking at Ye Chunan's look of being full and not knowing the hunger of the hungry, Wei Yanyan could hardly control her expression.

She forced herself to look away and look at the half-open door: "Master, one of the doors is broken. I'm afraid we can't live here anymore. How about..."

Ye Chunan ran to the door, took a look, and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll ask someone to fix it tomorrow."

Wei Yanyan, who was waiting for Ye Chunan to take her back to the general's mansion: "………………"

She had never felt so tired.

It's clear that when he was still in Jiangnan, Ye Chunan was quite sensible. Why did he become as stupid as a pig after returning to Kyoto?

Wei Yanyan finally took a deep breath, hugged her shoulders and trembled, "But the door is broken, the wind will blow in, sir, I'm so cold..."

After saying that, she raised her pitiful face and looked at Ye Chunan.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chunan looked at her thin clothes and said in confusion: "It's cold, why don't you put on more clothes?"

He ran into the house and took out a cloak, quickly put it on Wei Yan and said anxiously: "Yan Yan, if you are still cold, go back to the house first. I have to quickly write down what Brother Gu said, otherwise I will forget..."

After saying that, Ye Chunan ran away in a hurry.

Wei Yanyan was left alone, clutching her fallen cloak with a distorted face.
