Wow!
Ye Annian was startled and subconsciously stirred, causing the sound of water rippling in the tub.
But after he came to his senses, he stopped moving and allowed Jiang Zhu to pull him through the curtain, but his cheeks and neck were all red.
"what are you doing?"
"Nothing." Jiang Zhu's gentle and smiling voice came from behind the curtain, "I just want to hold you."
He took Ye Anyian's hand and shook it, but he let go without actually doing anything.
Ye Annian looked at his figure standing outside for a while and then left. For some reason, his heart felt itchy.
But if he took the initiative to ask Jiang Zhu to come over and rub his back, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Opening the package of medicinal herbs and putting them into the bathtub, a faint herbal fragrance immediately spread. It smelled very mild, and it seemed that the whole body felt really refreshed after soaking in it.
Jiang Zhu stood by the curtain for a while. Hearing the sound of water inside calm down, he walked away.
He walked outside, pushed open the window, and tapped twice on the window frame.
A strong gust of wind blew by, and Zimo's smiling face appeared upside down outside the window.
Jiang Zhu was not surprised and didn't care what posture he came to see him in. He said directly: "You followed us all the way. You should know what happened at Anyang Restaurant tonight."
"Yeah." Zimo nodded, "Do you want me to go find the old man?"
"You go and guard him. Before he enters the Anxing County Government Office, he must not leave even an inch." Jiang Zhu said.
Zi Mo sniffed when he heard this: "Then... what if he goes to the toilet? I will follow him."
"Just keep watch outside. I'm afraid that Fang Jinyuan will jump over the wall and find someone to kill him."
"Okay." Zimo responded, "Where is the prefect of Shuozhou? He seems to have a very good relationship with Fang Jinyuan."
"Don't worry about him," Jiang Zhu said, "An Nian and I will be there during the trial."
"Is this... okay?" Zimo was a little worried.
"It's okay. How are the shops on West Street?"
"I bought it all, the deed is here." Zimo said and was about to take it out on himself.
"Let you go first." Jiang Zhu stopped him. If Ye Anyian saw it, it would be difficult for him to explain.
"Oh. The money to buy the shop..." The young man hesitated to speak.
Jiang Zhu:...
During this period, he has been working very hard to see doctors, especially when setting up a stall in Tianshui Town, looking for rich people with difficult and old diseases. In addition to giving it to Ye Anyian, he also saved some for himself.
"I will definitely get it together for you before the New Year."
The young man looked at his somewhat impatient face, curled his lips, and whispered timidly: "Master, are you trying to trick people again?"
"Hey, what's wrong with me trapping a few profiteers and wealthy gentry?" Jiang Zhu flicked Zimo's forehead with his finger.
Zi Mo rubbed his forehead and felt aggrieved: "It's not that bad. I can't control what you want to do."
Suddenly hearing the sound of dripping water and rustling movement coming from inside, Jiang Zhu slapped Zimo on the forehead: "Stop talking nonsense and disappear."
Zi Mo was almost knocked down by his slap. He gasped, and with a strong movement of his toes hooked on the eaves, he quietly returned to the roof.
Ye Annian took a bath, put on his obscene clothes and went out. He saw the candles at the table were brightly lit, and Jiang Zhu was sitting under the lamp, casually flipping through a book.
He wiped his hair and walked over and sat down next to Jiang Zhu: "What are you looking at?"
In fact, Jiang Zhu had just sat down for a while and took the book from the shelf in the room.
He closed the book, turned to the first page, and read: "The Story of Fushan."
It was just to kill time. Now that Ye Anyian had finished soaking, he put down the book in his hand, took the handkerchief from Ye Anyian's hand, and helped him wipe his hair.
"Let's go to bed when your hair is dry. I'll go to bed after taking a bath later."
"Yeah." Ye Anyian nodded.
Jiang Zhu went to ask the waiter to change the bath water, and then went behind the curtain to take a bath.
Ye Annian sat at the table, waiting for his hair to dry, while boredly flipping through the book Jiang Zhu had just read.
It doesn't matter at first glance, it's actually a book of erotic stories between men. From the beginning, it's a dramatic drama between the two protagonists.
When he remembered that Jiang Zhu was reading this book just now, Ye Anyian felt that the burning sensation on his cheeks that had just subsided returned.
Why is this person watching this kind of thing at night?
Hearing the sound of water flowing behind the curtain, Ye Annian had no intention of reading any more. He closed the book, stuffed it aside casually, and got on the bed. He didn't care whether his hair was dry or not, and got directly into the quilt.
When Jiang Zhu finished washing and came out, Ye Annian was still in the quilt, turning over and over making sesame cakes.
"I haven't slept yet." Jiang Zhu wiped his hair and sat down by the bed.
Ye Anyian turned over, poked his head out from under the quilt, and casually found a reason: "It's my first time sleeping outside, I'm not used to it."
The candlestick placed by the bed made his face blush, especially the tips of his ears, and the thin blood vessels on them could be faintly seen.
Jiang Zhu reached out and touched his forehead. It wasn't hot, so he probably didn't catch a cold.
When he took his hand back, he touched Ye Anyian's damp forehead.
"Go to bed without drying yourself? Wipe again when you get up, otherwise you will have a headache when you wake up tomorrow."
"It's okay, the hair roots are dry." Ye Anian refused and tightened the quilt with his hands.
Jiang Zhu refused, and reached out to dig him out of the quilt: "You're not sleepy. Instead of rolling around in the quilt, you might as well get up and dry your hair."
Ye Anian was forced to sit up and dry his hair with him. The two of them were side by side. The faint scent of medicine from Jiang Zhu kept entering his nose, making him uneasy.
After sitting for a while, my face became even hotter.
Jiang Zhu also noticed something strange about him at this moment. When he reached out to hold Ye Anyian, he took the opportunity to feel his pulse, which was indeed beating a little fast.
Thinking of what he had just done when Ye Anyian was taking a bath, he intuitively felt that he might have lit the fire himself.
So he reached out and pressed the back of Ye Anyian's neck, turned his head sideways, and then leaned forward to kiss her.
Ye Annian was startled by his sudden movement. The soft touch on his lips made him suddenly open his eyes wide.
The distance between the two of them was very close at this time. Ye Anyian blinked and felt that his eyelashes could brush against Jiang Zhu's eyelids. Jiang Zhu didn't close his eyes during the kiss and stared at him.
Ye Anyian's face suddenly turned red, and his heart beat faster and faster. He felt that he subconsciously grabbed the hand of Jiang Zhu's clothes. His palm was already covered with a thin layer of sweat and his hand was shaking a little.
The two kissed for a long time. When Ye Anian came back to his senses, he found that he had been put down by Jiang Zhu and pressed on the quilt.
At this moment, she was looking at him with burning eyes, one hand on the side of his face, the other reaching under the hem of his clothes and rubbing his lower abdomen.
Ye Anyian almost jumped out of bed and reached out to push his shoulder: "Stop making trouble, we have to go find Yuan Tai tomorrow morning."
"I didn't do anything." Jiang Zhu used his fingers to gently scratch Ye Anian's lower abdomen, which made him feel itchy.
Ye Anian's eyes turned red when he teased him, and he said angrily: "Then you still read that kind of book at night!"
"What kind of book?" Jiang Zhu was confused for a moment and seemed to have thought of something.
"Pfft," he chuckled, "it turns out to be that one. I just flipped through it casually and didn't read the content carefully at all."
"However, it's hard to buy this kind of book nowadays. I have to take a good look at it."
As he said that, he was about to get up and get it, but Ye Anyian grabbed him in a panic: "No!"
Seeing him like this, Jiang Zhu smiled like a fox: "So, have you seen it?"
Ye Anyian:...
His ears were so red that he could almost bleed, but Jiang Zhu still didn't let him go: "Then I won't look, why don't you tell me?"
"Don't tell me." Ye Annian stared at him, pulled the quilt aside, "Sleep!"
But his red-faced and angry look was not intimidating, but rather irritating.
Jiang Zhu pulled him over and kissed him again. The two of them struggled for a while before finally lying down and blowing out the candles.
Early the next morning, the two of them had some breakfast at the inn and went straight to Yuan Tai's house.
Zi Mo spent the whole night on the roof of Yuan Tai's house last night. A masked man in black really showed up, but he was not very good at it and escaped after being injured by him.
When Ye Anyian and Jiang Zhu arrived, the door of Yuan Tai's house was open. He was cleaning up his stall in the yard and planned to go out to sell fish.
The two of them knocked on the door before stepping in.
When Yuan Tai saw that it was them again, his face suddenly darkened: "What on earth do you want to do? I already told you that my son is dead! You can't ask anything you want to ask!"
Jiang Zhu was not annoyed and just said: "I heard that your wife is bedridden and has not been cured? I am a doctor and can help her."
"You?" Yuan Tai obviously didn't believe it. "I have invited all the doctors in Anxing County. What will you, a hairy boy with no hair, see?"
"I'm not from Anxing County. You know that, right? I cured his stubborn headache." Jiang Zhu deliberately mentioned a rich man from Anxing County who he had just cheated a few days ago, no, he had just been cured. .
Yuan Tai naturally knew this person, so he hesitated and said after a moment: "Then you come in with me."
After he finished speaking, he put down what he was doing and walked into the house first, with Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu following behind him.
After about an hour of burning incense, the two people who had reached cooperation with Yuan Tai left Yuan's house with relaxed expressions and went to the county government office.
At this time, the Anxing County Yamen Gate was already crowded with people. It could be said that it was very lively and crowded.
Not only because of Yuan Zihua's matter, but also because of the personal visit of Yao Jun, the prefect of Shuozhou.
These ordinary people will never see any high-ranking officials in their lives. To them, the magistrate is a serious official. In their hearts, the magistrate is much higher than the magistrate. They may not see them once in their life.
Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu finally squeezed their way from the back of the crowd to the front, and saw two yamen servants holding long sticks standing at the gate of the county government office, maintaining order. It seemed that the court hearing had not started yet.
Just when he was worried about how to get in, he saw Feng Mingxu and Liu Zhuo also squeezed in from the crowd. When they saw the two of them, they were surprised and asked: "Why are you here?"
"Ye Ansong is my brother after all. No matter what the outcome is, I still want to come and see him again." Ye Annian replied.
How could he feel relieved if he didn't watch Ye Ansong go in with his own eyes.
"Alas," Feng Mingxu didn't know the grudge between the two, and thought it was Ye Anyian who cherished the friendship between their brothers, and said with regret, "There are so many people who can't pass the exam in one go. If they can't pass, they can just take the exam again." "Why can't he figure it out and take this wrong path?"
Ye Annian thought to himself that Ye Ansong was not afraid that he would not pass the exam this time, he just wanted to get something for nothing.
Just as he was talking, the crowd suddenly became quiet.
Ye Anyian looked up and saw that it was Fang Jinyuan who was showing off.
Fang Jinyuan originally came out to greet Feng Mingxu and Liu Zhuo. When he saw Ye Anyian, he couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his face.
However, before he could speak, Jiang Zhu took a step forward to block Ye Anyian behind him and glanced at him coldly.
Fang Jinyuan felt cold all over his body and was stunned.
