Chapter 35 The Past of the Liu Family
The words were established quickly, Liu Wen saw Lin Xifeng and immediately treated him as a guest to entertain, this master of the Keju team must be retained, although I was very puzzled why Lin Xifeng was willing to spend five yuan to rent a tavern with a profit of only four yuan, but Liu Wen was also very knowledgeable and didn't ask anything, and properly helped Lin Xifeng get things done.
The shopkeeper got Lin Xifeng's five yuan of money, opened his mouth happily, and after respectfully saying goodbye to Lin Xifeng, he ran towards home with the copper coin.
When Lin Xifeng returned to the Lin Mansion, Liu Lian'er was busy with dinner, and her cough had improved a lot, at least the frequency of coughing was much less than before, which made the corners of Lin Xifeng's mouth couldn't help but condense a faint arc.
Today is also very tired, no less than yesterday's hard work, after dinner, Lin Xifeng went back to the side room, calculate the time, today is the third day of the jade charm in the storage bag, you can go back to the modern day trip, thought about it, and found that there is no need to go back to modern times, so he slept in a wide clothes.
The next day, the sky was cloudless, and the Liu family had a happy event, and it seemed that the heavens were also beautiful.
As soon as Lin Xifeng came out of the Lin Mansion, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from a distance, but the quality of the firecrackers was obviously not good.
Originally, Lin Xifeng thought that this was the firecrackers set off by the Liu family, after all, his family had a happy event today, but when he walked to the West Lake, he found that the sound of firecrackers came from the "Fenghua Drunk" restaurant, Lin Xifeng couldn't help laughing, and realized that this was Cheng Bocheng's ghost.
"You're going to have to be scared! After a few days, you won't be able to cry. Lin Xifeng snorted lightly, and walked south along the West Lake, where the Liu family was located, which was exactly the opposite direction of the Fenghua Drunken Tavern.
Far away, Lin Xifeng saw Ye Tingheng and Ye Tingling, who were standing at the door of Liu's house to receive guests, the two of them were wearing brocade clothes, the brocade clothes were red, and they were bright and joyful, no matter ancient or modern, red seemed to have always been a symbol of happy events.
These two handsome sons stand together, but they have attracted the attention of many little girls, one is sparse eyebrows, graceful, one is picturesque, gentle and elegant, the temperament of the two is bright and feminine, although the temperament is completely left and right, the appearance is comparable.
After Ye Tianling saw Lin Xifeng, he hurriedly smiled and hugged his fists to greet him: "Lin Gongzi, I heard my brother-in-law say that you are in charge today?" I really can't see that Lin Gongzi not only has extraordinary skills in juju, but also has good cooking skills. ”
Although Ye Tingheng also wanted to step forward and get close to Lin Xifeng, but when he saw Ye Tingling taking the lead, he suppressed the thoughts in his heart, after all, the guests still had to be entertained, and the two of them couldn't go to Lin Xifeng's side together, and it would be rude to snub the rest of the guests.
From this point of view, although Ye Tianheng is very arrogant to others, he is very respectful of his second brother.
"Ye Gongzi has won the award, and he only knows a little about his cooking skills." Lin Xifeng was not surprised that Ye Tianling would appear here, he was Ye Tianheng's second brother, it was strange not to be here.
"Whether you have won the award or not, you will know later, Ye Gongzi should please come in! Except for the bride, you are the protagonist of today. Ye Tianling said with a smile.
"Then there is Lao Ye Gongzi to lead me to visit Ling Zun first! You can't lose your respect. Since Ye Tianling was here, Lin Xifeng naturally thought that his father would also come over, so he said with a smile.
"Uh......" Ye Tianling's expression stiffened, and then smiled awkwardly: "Actually, only me and my brother-in-law came to Liu's house today, and my father didn't come." ”
"Uh......" This time it was Lin Xifeng's turn and he was stunned.
"Hehe, I guess Lin Gongzi must be very confused, but this matter is a long story, so I'll just make a long story short!" Ye Tianling sighed lightly before continuing: "My aunt and Liu Yi were in love with each other back then, as for how they fell in love, I won't repeat them one by one, since Lin Gongzi is a native of Xihu County, he should naturally know that when my aunt didn't marry into the Liu family, the Liu family was also a poor peasant family, and they could only take care of their own food and clothing. ”
"When Mrs. Liu entered the Liu family, I was only a few years old, and I don't remember this very clearly, but I just have the impression that the Liu family at that time did not seem to be rich." Lin Xifeng nodded thoughtfully.
"That's why, because the Liu family and my Ye family are not in the right household, and the disparity in family status is too big, so grandpa is extremely opposed to this marriage, and in the end things are deadlocked, my aunt threatened death, grandpa had no way, and in a fit of anger, he only said that if my aunt insisted on marrying Liu Yi, she would cut off the father-daughter relationship with her, but later, my aunt still chose to marry Liu Yi, and grandpa really broke off the relationship with her, and no one in the Ye family was allowed to have dealings with the Liu family."
"I see, but don't you still have dealings with the Liu family, aren't you afraid that your grandfather will blame you?"
Ye Tianling heard this, but shook his head and smiled: "Actually, grandpa knows about this, he just turns a blind eye, even his father often sends some money to the Liu family, grandpa also knows it, just pretending not to know, after all, tiger poison does not eat children, even if he says that he wants to cut off relations with his aunt, he actually hopes that his aunt's life can be better, I think, grandpa should also regret his decision now, but he can't let go of face, he can't let him take back his previous words!" He is the head of the Ye family, and if he does this, he will lose his prestige, and how will he manage the family in the future to convince everyone. ”
Lin Xifeng realized that it was because of the support of the Ye family behind him that the Liu family was able to become rich without work, and then wondered: "What about the rest of the Ye family?" Except for you and Qian Heng, is there no one else to take care of the Liu family? ”
"They, maybe they are afraid that they will lose their grandfather's favor if they disobey their grandfather's orders, so except for me and my brother-in-law, no one else has anything to do with the Liu family, family affection is far less important to them than their status in the Ye family, but they don't know, grandpa hopes that someone can help the Liu family from the bottom of his heart, maybe this is why grandpa likes me and Tianheng very much!" Speaking of this, Ye Tianling couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and laughed, there are some things, if you don't do it, you don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.
Ye Tianling's smile seemed to be infectious, and Lin Xifeng unconsciously laughed with him: "I think that Tianheng chose to come to Keju County in West Lake, in fact, because Mrs. Liu is here!" ”
"That's right, with his unremitting Keju skills, he can join the Hangzhou Keju team, but he chose the West Lake Keju team, and lied that the Hangzhou Keju team didn't want him, so he had to come here, this white lie is only known to me and him, and now Lin Gongzi is the third, don't tell others." Ye Tianling put his index finger to his mouth, smiled and made a "shhh" gesture.
Ye Tianling's appearance made Lin Xifeng feel a little funny, and nodded and said, "I should hide this secret for Ye Gongzi in the next place." ”
"Then I won't talk to Lin Gongzi about these trivial matters, the more I keep talking, I'm afraid that the more I will delay Gongzi's time to get busy with business, please come in!"
After resigning from Ye Tianling, Lin Xifeng came to the room by himself, and the former had to entertain the guests, but did not personally lead him into the house.
Lin Xifeng found an excuse to separate the idle people in the room, then closed the door and quickly changed the seasoning.
At noon, Liu Lian'er also came, she wanted to help Lin Xifeng burn the fire, but before Lin Xifeng could speak, she was educated by Ye Tingling, who came over, and introduced her into the main hall to rest.
Ye Tianling knew that Liu Lian'er had a cough, and the smell of smoke in the room was not good for her, as a doctor, she naturally had to take due responsibility for every patient, although Liu Lian'er didn't seem to be his patient at this time.
The luncheon is about to begin, and the guests are already seated, just waiting for the food to be served.
Ye Tianling volunteered to take on the "heavy responsibility" of burning the fire, looking at the dishes cooked by Lin Xifeng, he felt novel, and kept asking him for the names and methods of the dishes.
Seeing Ye Tianling's eager eyes, Lin Xifeng was a little helpless, so he had to casually talk to him about some simple dishes, as for the method, he even said a word, if this thing was talked about in detail, he wouldn't have to cook, and he couldn't finish it in a day and a night.
"Young Master Lin, how did you learn these dishes?"
"My family used to run a tavern, and I had nothing to figure it out, so I experimented at this wedding banquet, and I don't know if it's right for the guests' appetite." Lin Xifeng's words are naturally blind and polite, if the dishes he makes are not appetizing, there will be no good chefs in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
"Actually, I also like food, but my identity does not allow me to learn cooking, learning medicine and business has accounted for most of the first half of my life, as for my father, he only let me run a pharmacy and cloth spinning, as for cooking, these things, in his mouth is the so-called "crooked way". When Ye Tianling said this, he smiled very lightly, but in that very light smile, there was a thick bitterness.
Lin Xifeng didn't know how to pick him up, so he could only turn the shovel in his hand faster, pretending to be focusing on cooking, and had no time to take care of Ye Tianling's problem, others envied him as the young master of the Ye family from birth, in charge of the largest pharmacy and cloth spinning in Hangzhou, and he had no worries about food and clothing in this life, but he also longed for the free life of ordinary people and could learn some things he liked.
In fact, everyone has their own way of life, and there is no need to look up to the Venerable Master or look down on the others, but to look at the same kind of people of the same class in front of you, and strive to live a better life than them, you can allow ordinariness, and you can't tolerate mediocrity.
