He had never seen these precious tonics with his own eyes, but he had never heard of them.

Duran looked at him with contempt: "Ginseng, deer antlers, snow clams, don't sell them cheaply, give my mother a good patch." ”

Du Er nodded excitedly, her eyes were fixed on the tonic, and she couldn't wait to stare out her eyes, and the greedy look that she couldn't put down really made her feel disgusted.

Hearing this, Zhao took a look at the gift box, and immediately snatched it from Du Er's hand and handed it to Du Lan: "This thing is worth a few hundred taels of silver, my mother can't afford it." ”

It's not that she hasn't seen it, in the past, these precious supplements were only available to the masters.

Du Lan held Zhao's hand affectionately, her fingertips were slightly cold, Du Lan was even more distressed, so he gently pushed her into her arms: "Money is something outside the body, don't be polite to me." ”

Zhao was embarrassed to hold it in his arms, tears of excitement, this child is kind in his heart and knows how to be grateful, and he is committed to Du Er to raise her back then.

"Okay, if it's okay, I won't bother, you guys should rest early." Duran was always unwilling to stay in Du Er's house, so he offered to leave.

On the way, Du Lan was unhappy and said to Gu Youan: "You will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Gu Youan looked embarrassed: "Isn't this afraid that your father-in-law will embarrass you, being a husband is a good heart, don't be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

"Don't call him father-in-law, he deserves it!" Duran bit the word and spit on it.

"Okay, okay, let's not mention him." Gu Youan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to soften her hair, and his eyes were full of doting, "Look at your angry little appearance, you have to coax your husband in disguise, just like a child." ”

Duran opened his hand, "Who wants you to coax, it's not early, hurry up and go home, Brother Xue can't find you when he goes home in a while, you should be in a hurry." You're a treasure to his heart now, and you're precious. ”

While talking, the two of them were already close to the door of the house, and Gu Youan deliberately leaned into her ear and whispered: "The lady crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and as soon as she sent you to the door, she began to drive people away." ”

A stream of hot air rushed into the ear canal, Duran's body was excited, and he flashed to the side, "Whoever crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, you have the ability to go home and sleep......

As soon as the words fell, his lips were hot, and his lips were already attached to them.

Looking at the handsome face that suddenly enlarged in front of him, Duran was flustered, his face was feverish, "Hmm......"

She wanted to hide, but her head was tightly clasped by his big hand, her heart was pounding, and she secretly prayed not to be heard by Gu Youan.

When she was nervous, her lips were cold, Gu Youan had already straightened up, and her mind was buzzing blank.

Gu Youan's chuckle brought her back to her senses, "Lady, rest well and see you tomorrow." ”

Turning around, Duran was left with nothing but the tenderness that made her throb.

She touched her lips and smiled like a flower.

Gu Youan turned his head and saw her smirking his lips, his heart was like smeared with honey, and he left happily.

The next day, Du Lan took some crushed pepper and went to Shilixiang with Gu Youan in Xue Yan's carriage.

Xu Hening rarely comes to the restaurant to do something, usually the shopkeeper Yue handed over the account book to him in person, the shopkeeper Yue is the old shopkeeper of the Xu family for many years, with rich experience, and looks very shrewd and sleek.

Seeing Du Lan and the two coming, Shopkeeper Yue's eyes flickered a few times, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye: "The two bosses haven't seen each other for a few days, and they are getting more and more energetic." Yo, Xue Gongzi is also here, please take a seat. ”

Duran nodded politely, "Is your son-in-law here?" I have something to talk to him about. ”

Shopkeeper Yue smiled and said, "Unfortunately, my son-in-law didn't come today, so I'll send a guy to invite him, and you can go to the private room for a short rest?" ”

Du Lan waved his hand: "It's all my own people, Uncle Yue doesn't have to entertain us, you go get busy first, I'll go to the kitchen." ”

Saying that, he took a porcelain bottle and went to the kitchen, Gu Youan knew that as soon as Du Lan entered the kitchen, he would not be idle, so he invited Xue Yan to the private room on the third floor.

Xue Yan looked at Du Lan's back and joked: "It's a good mouth again, I'm looking forward to her getting something delicious again." ”

As if hearing his voice, Duran turned around and smiled and made a chic gesture, which made Gu Youan and Xue Yan stunned.

About half an hour later, Xu Hening and Chen Jingting rushed together, the old rule, Xu Hening went to the private room on the third floor as soon as he came. But Chen Jingting went to the kitchen.

Duran was busy, and when he saw Chen Jingting coming, he joked: "The big gluttonous cat is here?" Don't steal food from your plate anymore. ”

Chen Jingting smiled awkwardly, with an expression that wanted to speak and stopped.

Seeing this, Du Lan twisted his eyebrows: "What's the matter, Master Chen, who upset you?" ”

"I ......," he said, unable to speak.

Duran wondered, this is not like him who likes to fight and make trouble on weekdays, she stopped what she was doing, wiped her hands and walked over: "What makes you so embarrassed?" Don't want to tell me that you won't treat me as a buddy? ”

Chen Jingting hesitated, and raised a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Your aunt's house found a bloody pig's trotter early in the morning, my sister ...... Gu Chunyan: She ran to my mother early in the morning to complain. My mother...... She...... Let me warn you, dare to mess with my sister's family in the future...... She's not kind to you. ”

It can be seen that Chen Jingting's mood is not high, and he should have been reprimanded by his mother, she was stalemate and did not speak. She and Chen Jingting have always laughed and played like buddies, so much so that she almost forgot the brother-sister relationship between Chen Jingting and Gu Chunyan.

Now that Chen Jingting mentioned it, she suddenly realized: "You have been scolded, let's keep a certain distance in the future, lest you be embarrassed by your mother." ”

Chen Jingting didn't want to lose Duran's friend, so he hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I sincerely reminded you." After all......"

He looked around the people in the kitchen vigilantly, lowered his voice and continued: "After all, the identities of you and Shizi cannot be revealed or revealed, so I can't guarantee what she will do to you." Besides, she now lives in the county government, do you also know the relationship between Mrs. Cheng and Xu Heming? The relationship is complicated, who knows if Gu Chunyan and Xu Heming have said bad things about you to Mrs. County. ”

Du Lan smiled coldly, it was really complicated, just by virtue of Gu Chunyan's hatred of herself, if she didn't say anything bad about her, the sun would come out in the west.

"Duran, I'm really good for you." Chen Jingting was anxious to explain.

Duran smiled faintly, "Thank you, I understand, so you can leave quickly." ”

Sometimes God's will makes people, obviously Chen Jingting is hearty, but there is Gu Chunyan's sinister and cunning girl, she doesn't want to destroy the harmony of other families because of herself.

"I ......" Chen Jingting looked pained.

"Xiao Linzi, have you gone to see the beef slices? Cut into what I commanded, you know? Duran ignored him and turned to look at the guy not far away.

"Hey, let's go for the little ones." Xiao Linzi responded.

"And you, wash and soak the mushrooms, and draw a cross knife in the middle for later use." Duran pointed to the other guys and commanded.

"Okay."

Chen Jingting was left to dry, watching Du Lan methodically directing the chef to work, he felt a little embarrassed, and felt bored and left the kitchen and went to the private room on the third floor.

As soon as he entered the door, he spit out bitterness to Xue Yan: "Brother Xue, Brother Xu, it's over, Duran really ignores me." I knew that she would be angry when she told her this. I don't know what I say, but I deliberately alienate me, I ...... I didn't do anything wrong. ”

Gu Youan didn't know what was going on, and he was stunned when he heard it, "What's wrong with Brother Jingting?" Have you offended my wife? ”

Chen Jingting had a bitter face: "I don't, how dare I." ”

Xue Yan frowned and reminded him: "Jingting, talk nonsense again." ”

Chen Jingting knew that Xue Yan was afraid that he would reveal Gu Youan's life experience in a hurry, and when Xu Hening heard it, he really didn't mean that. He sat down on the chair angrily, covering for himself and said, "If I dare to provoke her, am I afraid that she will ignore me?" Seriously, I feel that Duran is a bold and chivalrous person, much better than my sister. I sometimes wish Duran was my little sister. ”

Gu Youan heard it, it was still because of Gu Chunyan's matter, he stretched out his hand and patted Chen Jingting on the shoulder, and comforted him: "There are some things that we can't help ourselves, Yanzi and I are cousins, we grew up together since childhood, and I don't want the relationship between the two families to be rigid." But sometimes the more you try to change something, the more it backfires. Originally, we separated out of good intentions, and no one hindered anyone, who knew that things would develop to this point. ”

Gu Youan sighed, he understood Chen Jingting's mood very well, at the beginning, Du Lan argued with reason, he also felt embarrassed, but then he saw clearly, the more merciful she was to some people, the more she had to make inches of progress, and she deceived people too much.

So Duran doesn't compromise, and he agrees.

"Gu Gongzi, can you help me say good things, I am dedicated to her, can't she see clearly?" Chen Jingting is sincere.

Gu Youan chuckled: "Heh, it's really hard for me to come forward in this matter, Duran is my mother, I'll help you Isn't her elbow turning out?" ”

"It is said that brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, Gu Gongzi, you disappointed me too much, alas!" Chen Jingting lamented bitterly.

Xue Yan said on the side: "It is normal for Gu Gongzi to be partial to his wife, this is called spoiling his wife and protecting his wife, and you will understand when you marry your daughter-in-law." ”

Chen Jingting glanced at him disdainfully, and said sarcastically: "As if you understand, I'll take a look at you marrying a daughter-in-law." ”

"Alas, you kid is angry with me, aren't you?"

"Don't dare!"

Xu Hening, who had been silent, suddenly chuckled: "Why don't you let me try, I think Duran is reasonable and not a difficult person to communicate, you must have used the wrong method." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jingting's eyes lit up, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Yes, Brother Xu is the best at communicating with people, so you can accompany me on a trip." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Looking at his eager appearance, Xu Hening couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, Chen Jingting cared too much about Du Lan, right? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a simple friendship, maybe Chen Jingting himself didn't notice it, he just thought that he didn't want to lose Duran's friend.

Or Chen Jingting deliberately disguised himself with friendship.

This made Xu Hening envious, at least he could laugh with Duran openly, unlike himself, who only dared to appear by Duran's side on official business.

The two of them appeared downstairs, and the shopkeeper Yue hurriedly saluted them, Xu Hening raised his hand to stop them, and the two went straight to the kitchen.

Duran was tapping the steak with a rolling pin on the board, and the steak was slapped with a "bar" sound, and as he patted, he sprinkled salt and pepper on it.

The two of them walked over curiously, and Xu Hening stood aside and asked, "What does Duran do?" ”

Chen Jingting squeezed out a smile: "That's it, this looks delicious." ”

Duran was amused by him, looked at him with a smile, and teased: "You know it's delicious? ”

Du Lan replied to him, and Chen Jingting immediately smiled: "When have the dishes you made been unpalatable." ”

Chen Jingting got close, and Duran was almost a little restrained, for fear that the rolling pin would see him, so he warned: "The rolling pin doesn't have long eyes, be careful to hit your forehead, why are you so close." ”

Chen Jingting was stunned, thinking that Du Lan was still angry, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he looked at Xu Hening with an embarrassed expression.

Xu Hening smiled and said helpfully: "You can't see this, he just wants to help." ”

"Well, that's a good reason." Duran nodded clearly, and handed the rolling pin to Chen Jingting's hand: "Here you go, sprinkle a little salt and pepper between knocking steaks, and you can't eat it if it's salty." ”

Chen Jingting was full of joy: "No problem. ”

"Knock for half an hour." Duran said coldly.
