Chapter 25: Half a Cup of Residual Wine Conveys Heartfelt Love
The guest that Yan Jie and Qin Luoyan received together was the Locke family's housekeeper camel.
Li Er, the housekeeper of the Yan family, is well-known in the upper class society of the Xia Kingdom. The camel, the housekeeper of the Luo family, is unknown in the upper class of the Xia Kingdom.
However, Yan Jie did not look down on the camel because of his obscurity! You must know that over the years, the wealth of the Luo family has increased at an astonishing rate, showing a geometric multiple, and as the steward of the Luo family, the camel must be indispensable!
Due to the Yan family's excellent intelligence ability, Yan Jie knew that the camel was not originally surnamed Luo, so out of loyalty to the Luo family, he followed the surname Luo. The name "camel" has the meaning of hard work and resentment, and the burden is far-reaching.
The three of them did not sit in the luxurious living room of the Yan Mansion, but sat under the ginkgo tree to drink tea at the request of the camel.
The flowering period of the ginkgo tree is about to pass, and from time to time the falling flowers fall down, on the tea table, and on the placket of the three people.
However, the fragrance of ginkgo biloba is still there, and sitting on the tree, the fragrance of flowers and tea is mixed together, which is intoxicating.
The camel raised its head and looked at the ginkgo tree overhead, which was full of foliage and colorful flowers, and said, "I heard that the ginkgo tree is the longest-lived tree in the world, and there is a ginkgo tree in a temple, which is said to have been planted in the Shang Dynasty for 3,500 years. ”
Yan Jie took a sip of tea and said, "This ginkgo tree is also thousands of years old. ”
Qin Luoyan picked up the teapot and added some tea to Yan Jie's cup.
Peerless beauty, even if it is a simple action of pouring tea, it looks like a moving scenery.
Yan Jie glanced at Qin Luoyan, his eyes were full of affection.
In a room in Yan's Mansion, Mrs. Yan stared at Qin Luoyan under the ginkgo tree through the curtains and through the window, her eyes full of jealousy. As the housewife of the Yan family, she should be sitting in Qin Luoyan's position now!
Mrs. Yan secretly swore: "Qin Luoyan, when Yan Jie's conscienceless death is dead, I will definitely sell you to the lowest Qinglou in Africa, and let those lowly and fierce black men spoil you day and night!
Qin Luoyan obviously didn't know that Mrs. Yan was slandering her, she sat quietly, with a faint smile on her pretty face, like a fairy among the gods.
At this moment, a petal of a ginkgo flower fell into Qin Luoyan's teacup.
Qin Luoyan didn't pour out the tea, but took a shallow sip of tea, swallowed it into his small mouth along with the petals of the ginkgo biloba, and chewed it gently.
As if sensing the camel's surprised gaze, Qin Luoyan smiled: "Steward Luo, when the ginkgo biloba is in full bloom, I use the ginkgo biloba to soak in water every day to drink, it is said that the ginkgo biloba has a strong beauty effect. ”
The camel sighed in admiration and said: "Miss Qin's name is a wild goose, and when I see it today, she really has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon!
Qin Luoyan's pretty face was completely pampered and not surprised, and even his tone was indifferent: "Steward Luo's praise is false, I dare not be ashamed!"
Regarding the camel's intention, Yan Jie was already clear in his heart, but he deliberately didn't mention it.
The camel seemed to want to wait for Yan Jie to say it first, and kept chatting.
After a pot of tea was filled with water five times, the camel finally got to the point: "Master of the family, the eldest young master of the Zunfu has this disease, and my young lady can no longer marry him according to the marriage contract, please forgive me." ”
Yan Jie sat up straight and smiled faintly: "The eldest son has this disease, if I insist on the marriage contract, it will be unfair to Miss Luo." However, in terms of age, my second son Yan Le and Miss Luo are more age-matched, so let Yan Le execute the marriage contract with Miss Luo!"
The camel said: "O master of the family, it is a major matter concerning the marriage of my eldest lady, I dare not make the decision, I must go back and ask my master for advice, and also ask for the opinion of my eldest lady." ”
Yan Jie said: "I'm waiting for good news." ”
The camel got up and said goodbye: "Master Yan, Miss Qin, thank you for your hospitality, there will be a period later!"
Yan Jie and Qin Luoyan also stood up.
After sending the camel outside the house, Yan Jie returned, but saw Qin Luoyan packing up the tea set.
Yan Jie looked at Qin Luoyan's gaze, full of pampering: "Just let your subordinates do these jobs." ”
Qin Luoyan smiled softly: "Master, am I not just a subordinate?"
Yan Jie didn't say anything more.
After Qin Luoyan finished cleaning up the tea set, she returned to her room.
Yan Jie called the housekeeper Li Er to the front, stepped back from left and right, told him about the meeting with the camel, and asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"
Although he was called "second brother" by Yan Jie, Li Er said in a respectful tone: "Master, the marriage contract with Miss Luo is inherited by the second young master, although the name is justified, but the Luo family doesn't seem to be active." ”
Yan Jie frowned and said, "Is it possible for the Luo family to regret the contract?"
"Although in the past ten years, the development speed of the Locke family has far exceeded that of our Yan family. However, looking at the country, our Yan family is still among the top few wealthy families. In this respect, it is unlikely that the Locke will repent. Li Erzi said carefully: "In my opinion, this is just a means for the Locke family to raise the asking price." ”
Yan Jie said: "As long as Miss Luo marries into the Yan family, even if the bride price is increased tenfold, I will admit it!"
Li Er said seriously: "Master, now that the third young master has basically reached the intelligence of a normal person, shouldn't he set a family affair for him?"
The "third young master" in Li Er's mouth is naturally Yan Yan!
Yan Jie thought for a while and said: "Second brother, when the old man was alive, the Mu family fell in love with Yan Yan and came to propose marriage, and it happened that the Luo family also fell in love with the Yan family, and the old man chose the Luo family. You also know what happened later: because Yan Yan became a fool, his marriage contract with Miss Luo was inherited by Yan Huan, and now, it needs to be inherited by Yan Le. ”
Speaking of this, Yan Jie's words changed: "I heard that the eldest lady of the Mu family has no in-law now, so how about asking the second brother to work hard?"
Li Er said four words: "It is incumbent." ”
......
When Li Er left the Mu family, Mu Zhaoyu, the head of the Mu family, was full of joy.
Unexpectedly, a young girl came to Mu Zhaoyu angrily and said loudly: "Dad, am I your biological daughter?
This girl is naturally Mu Shumei, the eldest lady of the Mu family. I saw that she was graceful, her face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like apricots, in terms of appearance, although she was slightly inferior to Qin Luoyan, she was also a first-class beauty in the world.
Mu Zhaoyu narrowed his eyes, looked at his daughter and said, "Shumei, for a woman, it doesn't matter whether she marries a waste or not! The important thing is whether she marries into a wealthy family or a poor family!"
Mu Shumei still said loudly: "Yan Yan, that waste is just an illegitimate child who can't be put on the stage! Moreover, he is still living in that poor country in Qiu'an City!"
Mu Zhaoyu still squinted his eyes and said, "Since Yan Huan has become a vegetative person, Yan Yan should be taken to the capital soon!"
Mu Shumei secretly made up her mind: "I will immediately go to Qiu'an City and retire from the marriage in person to Yan Yan!"
