The next morning, while the heat was not yet steaming, Wan Kezhou took Dong'er and Xiaohe and Xiaohe's father Lao Zhou to Yang's mansion together, accompanied by two temporarily hired porters, carrying a large food box, which was filled with summer pastries booked to make last night from the famous pastry room in the capital - Mixiangyuan, Lao Zhou carried a medium-sized wooden box, and Xiaohe carried a basket of medicinal herbs.

Entered the Yang Mansion, there was a servant in front of the report, Yang Mother with Ma, Ji Qing and a group of maids and servants were already waiting in the front hall, seeing that the lineup of Wan Jia's group was not luxurious, but it was also very decent, especially the Wan father and daughter were tall, the jade tree was in the wind, the appearance was handsome, the skin was like jade, and they were definitely standing out in a group of people, and the temperament was transcendent.

Wan Kezhou gave Mother Yang a gesture and said with a smile: "I have seen the old lady in my later life, Mrs. Xie's love for the little girl, Dong'er's feet have been healed by Uncle Liu, and they are already half better, and I have always wanted to come to the door to thank the old lady, but I have not been well prepared, I am afraid that the old lady will be surprised, and I ask the old lady to understand." ”

Yang Muqian said: "Where is it, Mr. Wan is too modest, and he will be a family in the future, why say such polite words." Hurry up, please take a seat. ”

Wan Kezhou did not sit down immediately, he beckoned Dong'er to come forward to salute Yang's mother, Yang's mother did not see Dong'er before, always imagined that Dong'er had a delicate and foxy shrewd girl face, and it was a small family, walking with a limp, the foot of the slope was very serious, so it has been disgusted very, today I saw it, this girl is delicate and pretty, her eyebrows and eyes are peaceful, which makes people think of the sixteen or seventeen-year-old Guanyin Bodhisattva, her temperament is as warm as jade, as elegant and noble as Zhilan Qiuju, and she walks slowly, and outsiders can't see that her legs and feet are disabled if you don't look carefully, and in an instant, changed his mind, but he had a lot of good feelings for her.

Mother Yang exclaimed: "Mr. Wan's fairy wind and bones, raising his daughter is as beautiful as a fairy, usually Ji Qing always said how gentle and beautiful Dong'er is, like a celestial, I always thought he was a lover, but I didn't expect Ji Qing to say anything big." Yan Bi glanced at Ji Qing who was standing beside him and gave him an approving look.

Yang Jiqing was encouraged by her mother's eyes, looked at Dong'er with a smile, and seemed to be secretly telling her: "Don't be afraid, there is no one here who doesn't like you." ”

Dong'er felt Ji Qing's encouragement, and finally let go of the last bit of nervousness, and said humbly: "Old lady Xie appreciates, Dong'er wishes the old lady a long life and a long life." ”

The maids and servants around Yang's mother also wished Yang's mother a healthy body and a long life, but they still secretly muttered in their hearts: This Mr. Wan's daughter is so big, and she is still so young, I am afraid that he is a long-lived and hundred-year-old material.

While the masters and servants up and down the Yang Mansion were waiting for the visitors, they speculated that Wan Kezhou would be a thin old man with vicissitudes and wrinkles, and they didn't expect the deity to be so young and dignified, looking almost the same age as their eldest lord Yang Boqing, but his appearance was more dignified and handsome than Yang Boqing, and his body was more upright, if he hadn't brought a sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughter here, who could believe that he was nearly forty years old.

The daughter-in-law of the girl in this room saw Wan Kezhou being suave, smiling, and approachable, and they were fascinated by him, and their eyes kept glancing at him. A woman of thirty-five or sixteen years of age brought a cup of tea and put it on the small desk beside him, and he hurriedly held the tea cup and thanked the woman, who was so ashamed that she showed a girlish and childish smile, and did not speak, but bowed her head and retreated with a red face.

As early as soon after Yang Fu just knew about Dong'er, there were some six impure good deeds nuns who inquired carefully about the affair of Wan Kezhou, which was also the bane that caused Dong'er's mother to become a nun in a fit of anger: when Dong'er was young, Wan Kezhou traveled to the south, and met a few ruffians and hooligans in a street in Hangzhou to tease a young Taoist aunt, he was not afraid of hardships and dangers, heroes saved the United States, although the hooligans were dispersed, but he was also beaten to pieces, the Dao Gu dragged him home, carefully cared for him, and experienced some twists and turns in the middle, The two of them went to bed in a daze, thinking that it was just a one-night couple, but after seven or eight years, the Dao Gu led a four or five-year-old thin boy to the capital, saying that the boy was the fruit of a one-night husband and wife, and the original wife of his family was angry at home, although Wan Kezhou properly placed Dao Gu and his son, but a year later, the boy died of illness, and then Dao Gu did not survive the pain of losing her son, and also followed her son, I thought that their mother and son were dead, and Dong'er's biological mother could change her mind and walk out of the nunnery, Continuing the relationship with her husband, how can she think that the mother-in-law has eaten the scales and has an iron heart, and she refuses to return the vulgar to anything.......

The eyes of the master and servant of the Yang family looked at Wan Kezhou as if they saw the wind wandering son himself, although this person is absurd, but the real person is really too pleasing to the eye, such a god-like character can be met without seeking, don't look twice, I'm afraid I will never see such a romantic character in this life in the future.

Such a good-looking person doesn't have any romantic affairs in his life, it is simply a disappointment to the face God gave him, everyone is thinking about his romantic past, and secretly commenting.

Wan Kezhou knew that as the great incense master of Puzhao Nunnery, the people of the Yang family must have turned the matter of the Wan family upside down, but fortunately, he was open-minded and turned a blind eye to this kind of curious eyes.

He asked the porter to carry the huge food box to Yang's mother and open it, introducing this layer after layer of exquisite pastries to Yang's mother: I saw that as soon as the lid of the food box was opened, the cold water vapor floated out, and the original food box was full of ice cheese in small porcelain cups with ice cubes, ice milk skin, ice and snow mixed crushed nuts, rock sugar glutinous rice balls, ice skin mung bean cakes, mint cakes, etc., there are many types, in this hot weather, everyone sees these cold pastries, all feel the slightest coolness behind them, and the body and mind are comfortable.

Mother Yang looked at these colorful and varied summer pastries, and praised: "Mr. Wan is really good at buying things, everyone is saying that charcoal is sent in the snow, you are sending ice in the summer, but it's okay, recently my people here have suffered from heat stroke one after another, the old gentleman bought so many freezing points, I don't dare to eat too much as an old lady, I can only taste a little, and the rest of these unbearable ones are distributed to these children to relieve their hunger and cool off." She turned her head to a big girl beside her and said, "Chunlan, hurry up and pick out some and send them to each room." ”

"Wait, old lady." Wan Kezhou stopped: "I still have some things here that also score a point." ”

Let's let Lao Zhou carry a smaller wooden box forward and open it. Everyone looked at it again, they were all some beautifully made porcelain bottles, there were about 20 of them on the upper and lower layers, each of them wrapped in a cork and red silk cloth to plug the mouth of the bottle, Wan Kezhou took out a bottle, and the big girl who was replaced with Chunlan came over and showed it to the old lady.

Mother Yang took the porcelain bottle from Chunlan's hand, took off the cork, and a sweet and refreshing aroma overflowed from the porcelain bottle, which was the same as the sweetness of the freezing point, and it could feel a little cold when you smelled it. Mother Yang asked, "Mr. Wan, is this food or wipe?" ”

Wan Kezhou said respectfully: "The old lady didn't know, when she was young, she cultivated the Tao and practiced the gold mercury pill for a period of time, and then because the medicinal materials of the pill were too valuable, the family business could not afford it and no longer refined, but during the practice of the pill, I studied a lot of books on medicinal materials, and I actually learned to mix some rouge gouache, beauty and other ointments, this small bottle is my own antiperspirant deodorant cream, and it is best to use it after bathing in summer." ”

Mother Yang smelled the antiperspirant deodorant ointment, and praised it: "Well, that's the smell, just now when Ling Ai came to salute, I thought how I smelled a fragrance that I hadn't smelled, it turned out that Ling Ai was blessed, and she had already used such a good thing." ”

Mother Yang handed the bottle back to Chunlan and told very seriously: "You little girls leave me a bottle, don't snatch it all." My old man also likes powder and cream. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, saying that if the old lady liked it, it was all the old lady alone, and no one dared to rob it.

Wan Kezhou sat with Yang's mother and drank a few sips of tea, chatted a few words, and said that he was still thinking about Uncle Liu's illness in his heart, and the remaining things were supplements and medicinal materials bought for Uncle Liu, and he wanted to send them to Uncle Liu in person to show his gratitude.

Mother Yang remembered that Dong'er still came to Yang's Mansion to treat her foot disease, so Yang asked Ji Qing to lead them to the back garden.

Since then, every day in the Wanjia family, the servant Zhou Ning sent Dong'er to Liu Bo in the back garden of Yang's Mansion to treat foot disease, every time he came, Ji Qing was busy inside and outside the house, Xiaohe secretly whispered to Dong'er: "Miss, our future uncle is really filial to you, dare to be your son who has time to be filial in your previous life, what is that sentence called, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, the son wants to raise but does not wait, he must want to support you in his last life and you don't treat him, this life is to serve you, the mother of your previous life." ”

Dong'er laughed angrily, twisted a piece of meat on Xiaohe's arm, and scolded in a low voice: "Stinky girl, you haven't learned a few lines of poetry and let you use it crookedly, this sentence can only be told to me, if you let people outside listen to it, the spittle Xingzi can drown the two of us, saying that we are not up or down." ”

Xiaohe nodded wildly: "I know, my father and my mother told me hard, saying that there are few families in this world that can be as big as our master, and don't have no taboos outside as at home." ”

"If you know, it's good." While the master and servant were talking, Ji Qing came in from outside, holding a bowl of ice cheese in one hand, and shouting to invite them to eat ice cream, Xiaohe hurriedly took it, handed Dong'er a bowl, kept a bowl for himself, and picked up the spoon to stir it.

Dong'er scolded her: "Little gluttonous cat, you give that bowl to Yang Gongzi, and you and I will eat a bowl." ”

Xiaohe's eyes widened, and she pretended to be surprised: "Miss, it should be you and Yang Gongzi who eat a bowl together, and I, a lonely man, eat a bowl by myself----- you!" You are husband and wife, and there is no distinction between you. ”

Dong'er was so angry that she was about to twist her arm meat again, and Xiaohe hurriedly ran away with the cheese bowl. Her legs and feet are nimble, Dong'er is still recovering, how can she catch up with her, she can only watch her run and be in a hurry.

Ji Qing smiled and persuaded Dong'er: "Xiaohe's stomach is not afraid of cold, let her eat a bowl by herself, if you can't eat it, just leave me to eat." ”

Xiaohe joked to Yang Jiqing in the corner of the wall in the distance: "Young Master Yang, don't you dislike other people's leftovers?" The cheese was all soup. ”

Ji Qing peeked at Dong'er, lowered his head and blushed, and said, "I think the soup is also quite delicious." ”

"Oh, I understand, the young lady eats meat, and the son drinks soup, so the husband and wife can live happily." Xiaohe looked suddenly enlightened.

Dong'er really had no choice but to bow her head and pretend to rub her temples to alleviate the headache, but in fact covered her red face.

Ji Qing listened to Xiaohe's nonsense of "husband and wife", not only was he not angry, but he was very useful, he looked at Dong'er with a smile, his eyes were affectionate, his lips were smiling, like sugar and honey, like intoxication.
