Chapter 35 I ask you, who is he?
"Little sister, little sister."

Yan Wenchao caught up with Yan Chaonian at the city gate. Hearing the familiar voice, Yan Chaonian opened the curtain and said, "Brother, you're back?"

"I rushed back after receiving a letter from my brother-in-law. I almost missed it."

Yan Wenchao signaled the driver to drive the carriage out of the city. He stopped outside the city, stepped forward and took the little nephew from Yan Chaonian's arms, and then reached out to support Yan Chaonian. "I'm afraid it will take a year or two to come back from the capital this time. If you encounter any trouble, write back. We will rush there in half a month."

"I know. My parents have told me several times. But you, can I have a sister-in-law when we meet next time?"

Yan Chaonian smiled and said, "Mother said that she would find you another one who is good-looking and virtuous as soon as possible."

Yan Wenchao smiled and nodded, "It's time to find someone, so that my parents won't worry about me all the time. Tell me, what do you want to do when you go to the capital this time?"

The two siblings are related by blood, Yan Chaonian understood what he meant, and told him his plan, "If Xun'er's father really leads the army to war, I want to use the dowry I left in the Bo's Mansion to test the waters. It would be a good thing if father could return to officialdom. Although he seems to be obsessed with farming in the tea garden, I believe he doesn't want to live like this for the rest of his life."

"Although I am now serving in the military, the matter of the past is still a hidden danger if it is not resolved. Now that you have a low position, no one has said anything. If you want to be promoted in the future, your past will be checked. This matter must be dealt with in advance."

Yan Wenchao was neither polite nor pretentious. He also felt that the current timing was good. "Then you should be more careful."

He handed her a letter and a list, "The people on the list are all my friends in the capital. I don't know how many of them can be used. You have to make your own judgment."

"Please help me deliver this letter to my teacher. He became a teacher at Kaiming Academy in the capital last year."

After receiving the letter, Yan Chaonian said that he would definitely deliver it, "When the time comes, please ask Tongcheng Escort Agency to send me some local gifts. I can use them in the capital. If you need anything, just ask the escort agency to tell me."

The brother and sister talked for a long time before Yan Chaonian took Xiao Xun'er and said, "Say goodbye to uncle. We are going to the capital."

The little kid smiled with his eyebrows curved. His uncle didn't shout, but said crisply, "Looking for dad~"

Yan Wenchao laughed and touched his nephew's face. "Go, find your father. Your uncle will give you a ride."

Yan Chaonian was going to the capital with the escorts of Tongcheng Escort Agency. Although he brought guards with him, the more people the safer. The carriage was driving on the official road, and Yan Wenchao walked beside the carriage. Little Xun'er was leaning on the window and watching eagerly. Finally, he was successfully carried to the horse's back. He leaned on his uncle's arms and laughed excitedly.

Half an hour later they met up with the escort agency's convoy. A dozen escorts were already ready. Next they had to hurry on their journey and had to reach the next post station before dark. They could not delay too much on the road.

Yan Wenchao handed his nephew to Yan Chaonian and said, "I will send you here. Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself too. Remember to see your sister-in-law next time."

Yan Wenchao smiled. Zhang Jin was the leader of the escort agency this time. He held Yan Chaonian's guards and checked their carriage. He said, "There is a person going to the capital who will accompany us. They have given money to the escort. Madam, please forgive us if we have disturbed you."

"They have already gone ahead and will meet at the next post station."

"fine."

The journey is long and there is a high possibility of encountering danger. It makes you feel more at ease to pay some money and follow the escort company or the caravan. Many people do this, and Yan Chaonian does not find it strange.

Yan Wenchao waited for the convoy to leave before turning back to the city. His sister went to the capital to seek work, and he also had things to do. If they worked together, the Yan family would get better and better. Traveling was a boring thing. Xiao Xuner was excited at first, but started to make noises after more than half an hour, fidgeting and falling asleep again. He woke up when he arrived at the post station. The unfamiliar environment made him a little nervous. He was reluctant to get off the ground and hugged Yan Chaonian's neck tightly.

"Father, the escorts are coming."

Jiang Chongyuan was very bored. They also stayed in an inn on the way from the capital to the southwest, but he had money and good food, so he didn't find it too difficult.

On this return trip, he was short of money, so the food arrangements were naturally a little poor. He was upset but didn't dare to make a fuss, because his father had a bad temper recently.

Jiang Wencheng said "hmm", stood by the window and looked down, his brows tightened when he saw a familiar figure. Is that Yan?

Yan Chaonian carried her son upstairs. Her bedroom was next to Jiang Wencheng. Shuiyun entered the room first. After seeing the furnishings in the room, she asked the maid to bring up the bedding, fetch water for washing, and boil water for the young master to wash.

Yan Chaonian reminded, "It's hard to travel, so prepare a rich meal."

"Aunt Wu has already made arrangements."

Aunt Wu is an old lady who lives beside Yan's mother. She is a very capable housekeeper. This time, she went to the capital on Yan's mother's orders to help Yan's mother take care of Xiao Xun'er.

Yan Chaonian naturally felt at ease with her.

After a busy period, Yan Chaonian washed little Xun'er's face and fed him hot water. "Be good, Granny Wu has asked someone to make chicken soup. Xun'er should eat more later so that he can grow stronger."

"Zhuang, Dad."

Yan Chaonian laughed, "Yes, your father is strong."

The kid shook his head, "Zhuang, find your dad."

Yan Chaonian understood, "We are going to find our son to eat and then go find our father, right?"

The kid nodded, and Yan Chaonian laughed, "Then Xun'er shouldn't cause trouble. He needs to eat more so that he can be strong and grow up to be as strong as his father."

Thinking that he had slept in the carriage for half a day, Yan Chaonian decided to take him to the yard for a run before it was completely dark so that he would not be unable to sleep at night, so he took him out.

As soon as the mother and son went out, they met Jiang Chongyuan. Yan Chaonian was no longer wearing a veil and was dressed as a garrison lady should be. This made Jiang Chongyuan's eyes flash with a hint of confusion.

When Xiao Xuner saw the older brother, he smiled and called out, "Brother~"

The voice attracted Jiang Chongyuan, and his eyes fell on Xiao Xun'er. He was confused, curious, and finally angry. "Who is he?"

"elder brother?"

Xiao Xun'er is only a little over one year old. He likes children older than him. When he sees a boy, he calls him brother. He is always excited and tries to please him. He expects others to play with him. He is happy even if it means just running around behind them for a few laps. He thinks Jiang Chongyuan will also play with him.

At this moment, he even wanted to break free from Yan Chaonian's hand and move forward, but Jiang Chongyuan's angry eyes successfully stopped him. He couldn't accept that the woman in front of him had given birth to another child, and he became hysterical in an instant, "Let me ask you, who is he?"
