After the princess was reborn, she kissed the ruthless kidnapper

Chapter 104 "Brother 2, do you want to take part in the scientific examination? I'm afraid

Jiang Ci'an drove and accompanied Shen Changle to pick up Wang Xiao after class.

While tying the horse outside the door, he came back and saw Yan Zijing talking to Shen Changle again.

"I noticed that Wang Xiaohui could recite a lot of poems. I guess the aunt who taught him to recite poems must also be very knowledgeable and talented."

"I don't deserve it, but..."

"I teach you. If you have any questions, tell me."

Jiang Ci'an rarely interrupts Shen Changle.

This time, he raised his eyebrows.

With a competitive attitude that Shen Changle had never seen before, he exuded hostility and oppression, and stood in front of Shen Changle.

The thin girl was blocked tightly.

Shen Changle was a little surprised.

But he quickly adjusted his mood.

A smile returned to her lips and she took a step forward, standing beside him.

Yan Zijing looked at Jiang Ci'an in surprise.

Receiving the warning in his eyes, her smile became a little forced.

"Who is this……"

He asked the question even though he knew the answer, hoping for a lucky break.

But I am worried that the fantasy will be shattered.

He couldn't help but nervously clench his hands behind his back and looked at Shen Changle awkwardly.

Shen Changle was very calm.

He raised his hand and took Jiang Ci'an's arm, and introduced with a smile:

"This is my husband, Jiang Ci'an; Ci'an, my little teacher, Mr. Yan."

When she introduced him as her husband in public, Jiang Ci'an felt a little less jealous.

Then he became full of satisfaction.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I've admired you for a long time."

Yan Zijing had a smile engraved on his face, but the corners of his mouth seemed a little stiff.

But he didn't want to be left behind, so he bowed slightly.

"Nice to meet you."

She raised her head, looked directly at his smugness, and shouted openly.

"Forgive my poor eyesight for not being able to see...

Young Master Jiang is so knowledgeable that he can even quote phrases from The Art of War with ease."

"The Art of War"?

Shen Changle then remembered that when she was in the mountain stronghold, she had used allusions from the art of war to teach Wang Xiao.

did not expect……

She just said it casually, but Wang Xiao still remembers it today?

Jiang Ci'an lowered his eyebrows and retorted with a sneer.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Yan, who looks gentle and refined, is also a person who judges people by their appearance."

Yan Zijing added a hint of sarcasm to his smile, deliberately making things difficult.

"Since Master Jiang is well versed in the art of war, I have something I would like to ask you—

I wonder what Master Jiang thinks of the saying, 'Know thy enemy and know thyself, and a hundred battles are invincible; know thyself but not the enemy, and every defeat is inevitable; know neither thyself nor the enemy, and every battle is doomed to failure.'

Even Jiang Ci'an, who was not well educated, could understand...

Yan Zijing was mocking him for his lack of self-awareness, implying that he was not worthy of Changle!

Faced with his blatant provocation, Jiang Ci'an narrowed his eyes and felt a little angry.

Shen Changle noticed the subtle atmosphere and quickly stepped forward to mediate.

Holding Jiang Ci'an, he spoke softly:

"If I remember correctly, the Art of War begins by saying, 'War is a matter of great importance to a state, a matter of life and death, a matter of survival and destruction. It must be carefully considered.' The key is to prepare for war, be cautious in fighting, and avoid fighting—if it is not inevitable, perhaps we should follow the advice of the predecessors and value peace."

Yan Zijing chuckled when he heard this, glanced at Jiang Ci'an, and saluted Shen Changle with folded hands.

"Miss, you are absolutely right. I was reckless."

Shen Changle nodded in return.

He turned to look at Jiang Ci'an, whose face was gloomy, and discussed with him in a soft voice.

"Ci'an, it's getting late, and Jiuxing is still waiting for us to eat...why don't we discuss this with Mr. Yan another day? Why don't you go home today?"

Seeing this, Wang Xiao also jumped up with a look in his eyes.

"Uncle Nine is here? Uncle Two, let's go!"

"……Um."

Jiang Ci'an agreed, but he couldn't help feeling depressed.

Losing face in front of your wife is like the sky falling!

I was depressed throughout the whole process.

He was afraid that his wife would prefer a stinky scholar with whom she could discuss history and present affairs rather than a rough man like him...

Shen Changle saw his frustration, sat by the car door, and gently stroked his back.

She leaned over his shoulder and tried to comfort him.

"Ci'an, what would you like to eat tomorrow morning?"

"……It will be all right."

"So, shredded pork porridge?"

"Well, I'll do it tomorrow morning."

Jiang Ci'an realized that she was coaxing him and felt relieved.

He patted her hand on her shoulder gently, his voice warm.

"Okay, sit tight."

Seeing that he looked much better, Shen Changle didn't say anything more.

Sitting back in the car, I asked Wang Xiao what he learned on the first day of class.

Unexpected...

This little jealous guy got a copy of "The Art of War" from somewhere that night!

While Shen Changle was asleep, I secretly watched all night...

I didn't go to bed until I had memorized the entire "Art of War" by heart...

Early the next morning.

Shen Changle woke up and looked at the table full of marked military strategies, feeling both amused and helpless.

I laughed in my heart because he was jealous and very competitive.

However, no matter what the reason is, it is always good for him to read some "Art of War".

Even if she didn't lead troops to fight in battles like in her previous life, it would still have its benefits, so she didn't ask any more questions.

Simple freshening up.

When I went out, I found that not only Jiang Ci'an and Wang Xiaoxing were awake, but also Zhu Jiuxing was in the yard.

She walked down the stone steps and watched Zhu Jiuxing teach Wang Xiao boxing.

"Jiu Xing, you're still injured. Why don't you stay in bed and rest for a few days?"

Zhu Jiuxing held Wang Xiao's arm and walked over while stretching his shoulders.

"Sister-in-law, you're awake! I'm fine. Look, I can move freely!"

Jiang Ci'an heard the noise and came out of the kitchen:

"People in our line of work are not that delicate!"

Shen Changle covered her lips and smiled, deliberately teasing him.

"What's your profession?"

Zhu Jiuxing chuckled when he heard this.

"Oh, sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you that I have discussed it with the second in command, and I will go with him to carry the goods tomorrow!"

"Carrying goods?"

Shen Changle was surprised.

"Don't you have enough money to spend? Why would you still do hard labor?"

Jiang Ci'an wiped his hands and walked to her side.

Patiently explained:

"I have to do something, but business... I've never been cut out for it since I was a kid."

"But isn't there something easier?"

Seeing Jiang Ci'an hesitate, Zhu Jiuxing chuckled and spoke on his behalf.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, I can't even read a single word... What else can I do besides hard labor? I can't go back to my old job, can I?"

He wanted to...

But the second in command refused to do it!

He said that he was a family man and wanted to give his sister-in-law a stable life and didn't want to live on the edge of a knife anymore.

Then I can only do this first, and then find a way to make a living...

Seeing them say this, Shen Changle didn't want to intervene any further.

After all, it was their decision. Moreover, she knew...

Jiang Ci'an's main purpose was to help Zhu Jiuxing make a living.

Given his personality, he would never leave his fellow brothers in the village alone if the village was destroyed.

"Okay then...but you have to be careful not to be recognized."

Shen Changle reminded Jiang Ci'an.

The incident in Hulu Village caused quite a stir.

If people knew that the Prince Consort was still moving boxes, this...

She was afraid that her brother would kill him in anger...

Seeing that she agreed, Jiang Ci'an curled his lips slightly and said with a smile:

"Okay, let's go eat."

I wish Jiuxing joy.

"Hey, sister-in-law, let me tell you, I've been with the Second Master for so many years, and I've never had his cooking! I'm going to try it today. When I meet the brothers someday, I'll brag about it for days..."

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but if he did, Jiang Ci'an wouldn't let him eat.

"There's no place for you!"

He was cold and fierce.

This made Wang Xiao laugh secretly.

The Second Master is here, Uncle Jiu Xing is here too...

It seems like it’s time to go back to the cottage!

After dinner, Jiang Ci'an and Zhu Jiuxing sent Wang Xiao to the study, and then went to the place where he had worked before to inquire.

What Zhu Jiuxing couldn't understand was...

His second-in-command, who has always been careless about details, now carries a book in his arms wherever he goes.

Work when there is work, read when there is no work.

Not only did he find it strange, but his former coworkers couldn't help but tease him.

"What's wrong, Xiao Jiang? I haven't seen you for a few days. You're pretending to be a cultured person!"

Jiang Ci'an is always taciturn when he is outside.

When faced with other people's jokes, he ignored them and just watched seriously.

Zhu Jiuxing couldn't help but quietly asked:

"Erdang... Second Brother, what are you doing? Do you want to take part in the scientific examination?"

Jiang Ci'an glanced at him and ignored him.

Zhu Jiuxing asked:

"Please tell me, second brother, otherwise, I'm scared of you..."

Jiang Ci'an was so annoyed by her nagging that he slapped him on the head.

In a muffled voice:

"There's a teacher who's been pestering your sister-in-law lately. I think it's better to master both civil and military skills..."

"Huh? That's it?"

Zhu Jiuxing rolled his eyes speechlessly and ran away to eat some pancake.
