Chapter 21: Night Talk
Tian's mother came to ask Du Wanwan for help.
At noon, Tian's mother heard that Yan Shao had brought a guest to visit Boss Fang, and the three of them had been talking in the living room of the East Courtyard behind closed doors. Seeing that he was about to get off work, the shopkeeper went to the back kitchen and said that Boss Fang had set up a table of banquets at a fast pace. Tian's mother still has an urgent matter at home today, but she can't get out at this time, and she is so anxious that she is like ants in a hot pot. It was still the chef who said that Du Wanwan would go back to the restaurant at noon, and he should be idle at this time, so Tian's mother found Nan Cross Courtyard.
Du Wanwan carefully put the things he had made on the windowsill, and put the remaining boxes into his backpack one by one, then tidied them up, and went out of the house to open the door for Tian's mother.
"Mother Tian has something at home today, do you think you can help Mother Tian go to work in the back kitchen for a while?" Du Wanwan thought that Mother Tian had something important, and when he heard that he was just a helper, he readily agreed. However, she subconsciously looked up at the sky, and said with some confusion: "Shouldn't you have finished work now? Why is the kitchen still busy?"
Seeing that Du Wanwan had agreed to her, Tian's anxious mood finally calmed down a lot, and replied with a smile: "Today, Yan Xiaolangjun brought a guest and talked with our boss in the East Courtyard for an afternoon. Now it's almost dark, maybe the boss wants to keep them for dinner!"
The guest brought by Yan Shao? Du Wanwan's heart moved, and he asked silently: "Is that guest a man or a woman?" Tian's mother was stunned for a moment when asked, thought for a while and said, "It should be a Langjun! ”
Du bent and raised his eyebrows, not saying whether it was peace of mind or loss. Yan Shao's warning is still in her ears, and she is careful not to touch his bottom line. Even though she was itching in her heart now, she really wanted to see if the person Yan Shao brought was Jiang Lian, but her intuition told her that if she really explored, it was very likely that Yan Shao would kill her.
After weighing it, Du Wanwan still felt that his life was more important, so he forcibly suppressed the heart in his chest that was about to move, greeted Tian's mother, and hurriedly went to the back kitchen with his head down.
It seems that every time Yan Shao stays, the kitchen will be extra attentive to cooking, and the ingredients must be the best and freshest, steamed, fried and cooked, all of which are complete. Especially this time, the chef also prepared a hot pot, milky white and mellow soup, very thin slices of meat, and a small copper stove, all carried by the little servant and sent to the east courtyard.
Du Wanwan pouted, this is also a hot pot, although it is not as fragrant as the spicy base she has eaten before, but the soup boiled out of the bone broth is still very fragrant, and it aroused the cravings in Du Wanwan's mouth. Alas, I miss the spicy hot pot before the end of the world!
When he went back, Du Wanwan struggled for a long time, but he deliberately went around to the flower gallery in the east courtyard. Standing in the dim light of the flower gallery, looking ahead, you can faintly see the figure reflected in the window paper. There were only three people, Du Wanwan squinted under the porch for a long time, and finally determined that the guest brought by Yan Shao was really a man.
The last trace of curiosity was destroyed, Du Wanwan pursed his lips, looked away, and tilted his head slightly. The sky is a little overcast tonight, and the moon is not visible. The night sky was still sprinkled with snow particles, with a hint of wind, blowing the lanterns under the porch and the candlelight flickering.
"What are you doing standing here?" A deep voice with a hint of exhaustion suddenly sounded in Du Wanwan's ears, and she almost jumped up.
Yan Shao looked at Du Wanwan, whose eyes were flickering, and frowned slightly. She was wearing a water-green jacket, a moon-white long skirt, and the black hair on her shoulders was soft and obedient, and the skin on her neck was white and moist. Seeing him appear, her expression was a little unnatural, her eyes dodged, obviously she had done something bad, and she was a thief.
Yan Shao snorted coldly, "The old problem has been made again?"
"No, no, no! absolutely not!" almost used body language, cold sweat broke out on Du Wanwan's forehead, this man seemed to be able to see people's hearts, and he couldn't hide any careful thoughts. Seeing Yan Shao's expression of "believe in you, you will see the hell", Du Wanwan rubbed his fingers, had to tell the truth, and said: "I heard that you brought a guest, so I want to ......"
"Isn't it an old problem?" Yan Shao didn't wait for her to finish, so he interrupted her coldly, his face slightly cold.
Du Wanwan was a little weak-hearted, Yan Shao had warned her several times, but when she thought of the things in the room that had just been redeemed, she couldn't control herself. Jiang Lian is a noble person in her business, even if she knows the danger, she has to hug Jiang Lian's thighs!
"She has good intentions towards you, but for the sake of your life, it's best not to be too close to her, otherwise you won't know how you will die in the future. Yan Shao originally felt a little stuffy in the house, so he came out to breathe, but he didn't expect to meet Du Wanwan.
Du Wanwan's eyes were a little gloomy, she thought about it, turned around, and took out an inkstone from her arms: "Actually, I also have something to do with you, and I want you to see this." ”
Yan Shao's eyes looked at Du Wanwan deeply, and then looked at the inkstone in Du Wanwan's hand, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. This little lady still carries an inkstone in her arms when she goes out? What if she doesn't meet him today? How many more days? Looking at the slim little lady in front of her, Yan Shao's thoughts drifted a little far. The thin and sluggish girl, the girl who saved his life, the girl who found him food every day, but didn't dare to open her eyes to look at him, seemed to never come back.
Taking the inkstone, Yan Shao was silent for a moment, "Are you short of money?"
Du Wanwan looked at him in surprise, a pair of apricot eyes were round, the tails of his eyes were raised, and he seemed to say, "How do you know?" After looking at it, Yan Shao returned the inkstone to Du Wanwan: "The material is not bad, the shape is good, and the carving is fine, but it is not a fine product, and it can be worth one or twenty taels of silver in the pawnshop." ”
Du Wanwan gritted her teeth, she knew that the pawnshop shopkeeper had slaughtered her!
"If you're really short of money, you might as well consider working with me. Du Wanwan was struck by this sentence and was stunned on the spot. Cooperate...... Could it be that her system has been exposed? But how could Yan Shao talk about cooperation with her, a helpless village girl! Before Du Wanwan could react, Yan Shao was already preparing to leave, "You go back and think about it, and when I come next time, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." ”
The tall man gradually moved away, and finally turned at the end of the flower gallery, and disappeared completely. Du Wanwan's gaze has been fixed in the dark, and finally he saw the back of the man who appeared in the light and shadow in the courtyard, and then he reacted.
Cooperation, cooperation! Daxian actually wants to cooperate with her! Why does he believe so much that he has the ability to cooperate with him? Daxian really doesn't tease him?!
Du Wanwan stood in place frowning and pondering, and then the expression on his face became strange.
Nima, Yan Shao didn't know what they were going to cooperate with!
