Chapter 61: Circumstance
Following
Ye Ruotang was dreaming, and was woken up by the fragrance of rice, sat on the bed in a daze, stretched his head out and smelled it, "What kind of smell is this?" So fragrant? ”
My stomach growled very hard.
The fragrance overcame the drowsiness, and Ye Ruotang simply cleaned up and went downstairs.
"Guest, are you up?" Xiao Er was wiping the table, and when he saw Ye Ruotang coming down, he hurriedly said with a smile.
"Well, what are you doing here, it smells so good."
"This is the signature of our store, marinated goose"
Going downstairs, the fragrance was even stronger, Ye Ruotang's chest was pressed against his back when he was hungry at this time, and he sat down at random and said, "Then hurry up and get a copy, I'm going to starve to death."
"Guest officer, I'm going to wait a while, this marinated goose is not good yet"
"Ah~ How long will you have to wait?"
Xiao Er thought for a while, "Half an hour"
"........." Ye Ruotang swallowed his saliva, "Then your store is delicious, bring me a few things quickly"
"Okay, guest officer, sit down for a while."
In the gap between waiting for dinner, Mu Yuyan and Lu Min also got up one after another.
"Why do you wake up so early?" Mu Yuyan asked.
"Don't you smell anything?"
"Nope."
"I just smelled a very fragrant smell of vegetables in the room, so I got up"
Mu Yuyan gently scratched the tip of the girl's nose, "You, you're really a little gluttonous cat"
Seeing this, Lu Min wrapped his clothes tightly and leaned to the side.
While talking, Xiao Er served a few dishes "fried tofu, scrambled eggs with shredded meat, steamed lion's head, please use it slowly"
Ye Ruotang got closer and smelled it, although it was just some home-cooked food, the taste was slightly different.
"Hasn't Lord Ye gotten up yet?" Mu Yuyan went upstairs and forgot about it, but found that there was no movement.
"Maybe I'm still sleeping, or let's eat first, I'm going to starve to death."
"Good"
Ye Ruotang hurriedly sandwiched a lion's head, with a faint aroma of wine and flowers in the meat, which was very delicious. The fried tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Ye Ruotang loves it miserably, "Ah Yan, try this tofu quickly, it's delicious"
Mu Yuyan looked at her with a pampering face, "If it's delicious, eat more"
So Ye Ruotang ate happily, and after the three of them finished eating, Ye He never came down.
The corners of Mu Yuyan's lips hooked slightly, "Lu Min, go up and see if Master Ye is awake?" If you wake up, please come down."
"Yes"
Lu Min knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside, "Isn't Lord Ye still sleeping?" ”
"General, Lord Ye hasn't woken up yet."
"Oh? Then we'll just wait."
It was estimated that when it was almost noon, Mu Yuyan's patience ran out, and he got up and walked towards the room where Ye He was from, and walked in without knocking on the door.
walked to the table, sat down and poured a glass of water, "Lord Ye, get up quickly when you wake up"
Ye He was lying on the bed without moving.
Mu Yuyan got up and walked to the window, opened the window, and the sun shone straight on Ye Hecong's eyes, Ye He woke up leisurely and saw Mu Yuyan very surprised, "Why is General Ning Yuan here?" ”
"Lord Ye slept well?"
Ye He rubbed his waist from the pretend, "This bed is too hard, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I guess I fell asleep when it was almost dawn."
"Oh, I see, no wonder Lord Ye slept until noon"
"It's noon, huh?" Ye He looked outside, and quickly got up and got dressed, "Look at it, this person is old and useless, it's all this hour"
"Don't worry, Master Ye will come down and eat something when he has cleaned up."
"Good"
Ye He cleaned up very quickly, and he didn't wait long before coming down.
"What does Father want to eat?"
"Eat whatever you want, have you all eaten?"
"We have eaten it a long time ago"
Ye Ruotang thought of something, "Little Er, is the marinated fragrant goose okay?" ”
"Okay"
When Ye Ruotang heard this, he had a pair of starry eyes, "Then serve it, and then serve some other dishes"
"Good guest officer"
Above this marinated goose, the whole inn is its fragrance, although he was full just now, but Ye Ruotang couldn't help it, he ate half a roast goose again, half leaning on the chair, this time he couldn't eat it anymore, and he really vomited if he ate it again.
After eating and drinking, the four of them went on the road to Cao's house.
The Cao family lived in the easternmost part of Qingyuan Town, and walked for half an hour to get there.
"This Cao family is bigger than I imagined," Ye Ruotang muttered alone.
Ye He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and it took a while for a small guy to open the door, and when he saw it, he bent over, "Lord Ye, why are you here?" ”
"Go and tell your master"
"Yes, Lord Ye hurry inside, please" Seeing this, the little guy hurriedly ran away.
"Let's go inside"
The three of them followed behind Ye Hecong.
The decoration of the Cao family is quite chic, although it is not a rich and noble family, but it is also the richest man in Qingyuan County.
As soon as he was halfway through, a burly man walked in front of him, estimated to be about thirty years old, and a rough voice could be heard from afar, "Brother Ye, why do you have time to come to me today?" ”
Ye He greeted him with a smile, "Brother Cao, haven't I seen you for a long time?"
Master Cao looked back, "These people are"
"This is General Ning Yuan"
After hearing this, Master Cao's eyes widened, and he immediately knelt down, "I don't know that General Ning Yuan is coming, and he has missed the distance, forgive his sins."
Mu Yuyan stepped forward and helped the person up, "Master Cao is polite"
"This is a beloved daughter, Ruotang"
"Ruotang is more watery than in the portrait, a little similar to your mother"
Ye Ruotang leaned over slightly, "Uncle Cao praised it"
"My name is Lu Min" Lu Min didn't wait for Ye He to introduce himself, so he reported to his home.
"Then don't stand here, hurry inside, please."
There are no flowers in the back garden of the Cao family, only a few big trees are planted, "Please sit down and taste the tea of Qingyuan Town"
Ye Ruotang looked around, "Uncle Cao, why didn't you see Gongzi Cao?" ”
Master Cao's hand pouring tea paused slightly, and then looked at Ye Hecong.
Ye Hecong smiled and said, "Why are you so unreserved?"
"Father, since we have already decided to marry the baby, it will be a family sooner or later, and besides, aren't we here to see Cao Gongzi this time?"
Mu Yuyan was drinking water, and as soon as she heard what the girl said, the tea that had just arrived was squirted out, and her face sank.
Ye Ruotang hurriedly patted him on the back, "Are you okay?" Raising his eyes to meet the man's gloomy face, he immediately shuddered and smiled at him.
"Tianhan went out today, and it is estimated that he will be back in a while," Master Cao said.
said Cao Cao, Cao Cao came to the "father" A hearty voice sounded.
Everyone looked for a man, and a man in a white brocade robe strode over, his eyes as clear as the crystals soaked in water, and the corners of his eyes rose slightly.
Ye Ruotang was watching, and suddenly it was dark in front of him, and it was a hand blocking him.
"Don't look at it"
Ye Ruotang looked at Mu Yuyan like that, and laughed out loud, "Look at it, it's not good, why are you so stingy?" ”
"Do you think other men are reasonable?"
"I'm just kidding, don't worry, don't watch it"
In the blink of an eye, Cao Tianhan had already walked in front of him, "I've seen Uncle Ye, General Ning Yuan" When he turned to Ye Ruotang, he smiled, "Presumably this is Miss Ye?" ”
Ye Ruotang got up and leaned over slightly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the sachet hanging on the man's waist, which was very familiar with "Cao Gongzi"
"Come and take a seat"
Several people sat around and didn't speak, and the scene was a little awkward for a while.
"When does Gongzi Cao plan to get married?" Ye Ruotang took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
When Cao Tianhan heard this, he almost choked on a sip of tea, "Huh? ”
"You and I have set this doll since I was a child, and now I am almost in time, so I came to ask about this ........."
The father and son of the Cao family looked at each other, "This ........ There's no hurry."
"It's not that I'm not in a hurry, it's just that I haven't seen Cao Gongzi for more than ten years, and now I'm almost at the age of getting married, so I want to come and see, but it's just ..........." Ye Ruotang looked embarrassed.
"Just what?" Cao Tianhan asked.
"It's just that I wonder if Gongzi Cao has a sweetheart?" While speaking, Ye Ruotang looked at the sachet on Cao Tianhan's waist and asked.
Cao Tianhan's face changed slightly, "No........ I never had a sweetheart."
"That's good, I think the sachet on Cao Gongzi's waist is quite chic, can you show me?"
When Cao Tianhan heard this, he quickly covered the sachet "It's just bought at random on the street, it's not a rare item."
"But I see that the stitching on the sachet is Su embroidery, which is very good for the mandarin duck embroidery, it just so happens that I have been learning embroidery recently, so I thought about borrowing it, if Cao Gongzi is not willing to forget it."
Cao Tianhan smiled awkwardly at Ye Ruotang, and Mu Yuyan on the side looked cold from beginning to end.
On the contrary, it was Ye Hecong and Master Cao, whose hearts were about to rise to their throats.
"What does Cao Gongzi like to do on weekdays?"
"Good Reading"
"It turned out to be a nerd," Ye Ruotang finished speaking, covering his mouth and snickering.
Ye He approached from this and whispered, "Ruotang must not be rude"
"Oh, I'm just kidding, don't take it to heart Gongzi Cao"
"How could it be?"
"I see, it's not early this day, let's go back first" Ye Ruotang got up, and Master Cao also got up, "It's better to live in the house"
Ye Ruotang looked at Ye Hecong, and Ye Hecong smiled and said, "It's okay"
"It's cold, you go and ask someone to clean up a few rooms and come out"
"Yes, Father"
"Brother Ye, we haven't seen each other for many years, why don't we go play chess?"
"Okay, I don't know how good Brother Cao's chess skills are."
"Then let's go" After speaking, Master Cao turned around again, "General Ning Yuan, Miss Ye, you can go around."
"Uncle Cao will play chess with his father, don't worry about us"
After the Cao family's father and son left, Ye Ruotang sat down on the chair and poured a sip of tea, "I'm really thirsty."
"Why do you just fall in love with other people's sachets?" Mu Yuyan asked coldly.
"Doesn't Ah Yan think that sachet is a little familiar?"
