Chapter IV: Admission
Feng Yao originally thought that Lan Yi would be sympathetic to his family's situation, at least this is human nature, not to mention that he also has to ask for her, he should still understand this basic common sense. Unexpectedly, seeing Feng Yao's sad face, Lan Yi not only did not sympathize, but said, "It's only been three days!" What's the hurry! It's Kaifeng here, what's the weird thing? Not to mention that it hasn't opened for three days, it's not surprising even if it's three years! Lan Yi's words shocked Feng Yao's ears again, and she now seriously doubted whether she would keep her promise to take in this guy in front of her who didn't eat the fireworks of the world!
"Just three days? Yes, for a person with a big business in the big family of Lan Dagongzi, what is there to fear in three days and three years? But it's okay for us to be a small family! Lan Gongzi really reminded me that our family is indeed a small temple, and we can't accommodate the big Buddha of Lan Gongzi, so Lan Gongzi should go elsewhere! Feng Yao's face was a little displeased.
"Oops! What a pity! Pity! Lan Yi shook his head, and Feng Yao raised his eyes and gave him a look of disdain.
"Don't get me wrong, girl! Although I am not very enthusiastic about business, I have not been able to say that I have made any achievements after so many years, but I still have learned a thing or two. If the girl takes me in, maybe I can do a little bit! ”
Feng Yao's face changed slightly, she looked at him, and smiled faintly at the corner of her mouth, "Since you all know the situation of our family, I can tell you that it's okay to work in us, but it's ......"
"Don't worry, girl, I don't need to be paid, as long as the girl is willing to reward me with a bed, a mouthful of food is enough!"
"That's what you said!"
"You have no jokes!"
Just a few steps away, Feng Yao took Lan Yi to stand outside the door of his house, which seemed to be in Lan Yi's guess, only to see him staring at the signboard on the lintel with a sad brow, and said lightly, "Don't look back", and then smiled. "It seems that the girl is not the only one in the house who is different!"
"What do you mean by that?" Feng Yao was obviously dissatisfied, you know, this signboard was set up by her father, others can humiliate her at will, Feng Yao, but her father, absolutely not!
"The girl misunderstood, I really admire!" Lan Yi tidied up his clothes, and Feng Yao took the opportunity to return the golden hairpin and jade peisai to him.
It's only been a few hours of work out, there are already a lot of bottles and cans in the shop, and the room is also full of the smell of being whitewashed by various fragrances, it stands to reason that these various fragrances mixed together should not be pleasing to the eye, but at this moment, Lan Yi feels that his mind is exceptionally pure, and he has no sense of resistance to such a mixed taste.
You must know that since I was a child, what I have always been disgusted with is the aroma of women's rouge gouache, especially the smell of several aunts, not to mention mixed together, even if you ask him to smell it alone, you can make him vomit for a long time. But in this room...... Lan Yi thought about it, and couldn't help but glance around, it was indeed the same as Feng Yao said, the shop was extremely cold!
Xiao Zheng was seriously putting something in a jar that he didn't know anything, and he didn't look up when he heard the sound of footsteps, but after Feng Yao shouted "Dad", the old man replied casually. But for a long time, he still couldn't hear any movement from Feng Yao, so Xiao Zheng raised his head and saw the handsome young man standing beside Feng Yao.
"This ......" Xiao Zheng hesitated slightly.
Feng Yao smiled bleakly, and made up a lame lie and said, "Dad, this is the short-term job I found on the street. ”
Xiao Zheng obviously showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and at the same time, he also seemed to see Feng Yao's uneasiness, he didn't ask immediately, but said, "Maybe this young man has been disappointed, our small shop has a small profit, and we can't afford to recruit any short-term jobs, so the young man should go out to find a job!" ”
Xiao Zheng's refusal was already expected by Feng Yao, she glanced at Lan Yi beside her, but this person seemed to be out of the situation at the moment, and she didn't take Xiao Zheng's words to heart at all. He looked at the bottle and jar that Xiao Zheng was fiddling with with with a pair of transparent eyes.
"Dad, I know that our shop is small and doesn't make any money, but I think so, you see, my brother has gone to the dart game, and he will soon go there to take a job, and only Dad and I are left in the shop. But my dad also knows me, but I don't understand any of this, and I'm clumsy with chores, so I can't help at all! I couldn't watch my dad suffer alone, so I thought...... Think...... By the way, find a guy for our shop, so that Daddy can save effort, and I have less guilt! Daddy, don't worry, this guy doesn't need to be paid, just give him a place to live and food! Feng Yao grabbed Xiao Zheng's sleeve and shook it gently.
Xiao Zheng sighed, he glanced at Lan Yi, since Lan Yi entered the door, Xiao Zheng knew that this young man was by no means simple, as for why he met Feng Yao and why he came here, I am afraid there is another hidden reason. He only looked at Lan Yi briefly and asked softly, "Who is the surname of the descendant?" ”
"Dad, I've already asked about this, his name is Lan Yi!" Seeing that his father seemed to have a hint of relaxation and acceptance, Feng Yao hurriedly replied.
Xiao Zheng gave Feng Yao a cold look, and then locked his gaze on Lan Yi's body, which clearly meant that Lan Yi said it himself.
Lan Yi understood what Xiao Zheng meant, and replied respectfully, "Junior Lan Yi." Lan Yi's gaze met it firmly, without the slightest dodge, which made Xiao Zheng very satisfied.
"Lan Yi? Where are the people? Xiao Zheng continued to ask. Because of his father's advice, Feng Yao didn't dare to make another attempt, so he could only stand obediently on the side.
"Kaifeng people!" Lan Yi replied.
"Does Lan Hongda in Kaifeng City have anything to do with you?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"That's my father!" Lan Yi replied.
The Q&A between the two people was so calm, but Feng Yao on the side couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't know that her father had never left that mountain village in his impression, he had only been here for three days, and he hadn't even gone out of this door, how could he know that there was a Lan family in Kaifeng City, and he still knew the name of the Lan family!?
Xiao Zheng's eyelids drooped slightly, the corners of his mouth seemed to tremble slightly, and he was silent for a moment as if he was thinking about something, "Old decay can't do anything for Lan Gongzi here, I hope Lan Gongzi will forgive me!" ”
Hearing her father's refusal, Feng Yao didn't know why she was a little anxious, although she was only seeing this Lan Yi for the first time, she had a sense of trust and dependence from the bottom of her heart. This feeling has never been felt in fifteen years, and even now, Feng Yao doesn't know what is wrong with him. But when she heard that Lan Yi couldn't stay here, the mystery in her heart really shook.
"Actually, the younger generation doesn't want to come here to do short-term work, but to come here to ask Uncle Xiao for advice. Fang Cai didn't tell Miss Xiao directly, but he was not sure about Uncle Xiao's incense-making skills, but now that he entered the house and smelled the smell, the juniors really determined that this was what the juniors wanted! To tell the truth, it will be my mother's birthday after a while, and my mother's requirements for incense are extremely high, and many spices can not satisfy my mother at all, so I am a little unhappy in my heart. The younger generation wants to take this opportunity to honor his mother, and ask Uncle Xiao to fulfill it! Lan Yi gave up his hand, and the eloquent way he talked made Feng Yao feel like a fool, leading a liar into the house without saying anything, and lying to his father together, this is not counting, and now they themselves have recruited another situation! Which one is true? Could it be that I have been deceived now?
Feng Yao thought, staring at Lan Yi with her eyes, she had a hundred thousand whys in her heart, but she couldn't ask any of them at the moment. There was a brief silence in the room, and everyone was waiting for Xiao Zheng's answer.
"Since you are a filial piety, it is not easy for the old man to object. It's just that you have also seen the conditions here, it is really incomparable with the Lan Mansion, and Lan Gongzi is going to be wronged here! Xiao Zheng replied.
"Thank you Uncle Xiao for making it happen! It's clean and tidy, and it's nice! It was rare to see the smile on Lan Yi's face, it was so sunny and handsome, it seemed to be comparable to the sunshine outside. Feng Yao looked at her stupidly for a while, and suddenly felt as if someone was staring at her fiercely, so she restrained her greedy look.
In order to show that he came to learn art sincerely, Lan Yi listened carefully to Xiao Zheng's truth for two hours, although these are all furs, and they do not involve the Xiao family's incense-making secrets at all, but in Lan Yi's opinion, this is tantamount to equivalent to the book of heaven, but behind the nodding there are thousands of questions in his heart, but he doesn't really want to learn to make incense, so it is perfunctory.
Xiao Zheng finally thought that his class could be over for the time being, so he left Lan Yi to continue his research and walked towards the backyard by himself. Feng Yao looked at Xiao Zheng's distant back, and then looked back at Lan Yi, who was pretending to be a worker, and her suspicious expression was already unobstructed. She waited for her shining eyes to come close to Lan Yi, and asked as he looked at the bottles and cans, "You liar, which sentence is true?" ”
Feng Yao's vicious words did not make Lan Yi feel ashamed, he met Feng Yao's eyes indifferently, the two fingers of one hand grabbed Feng Yao's chin, and his thin lips opened slightly, "Every word of mine is true!" ”
"What a rascal are you! Don't forget, you told me you were a runaway! Feng Yao shook Lan Yi's fingers and stood two steps away from him.
"I, Lan Yi, have never had a marriage contract with anyone, so how can I say that I am running away from marriage? All I said was to avoid blind dates! It seems that Miss Feng Yao is very forgetful! Lan Yi smiled faintly, but Feng Yao still didn't seem to have the intention of dissipating.
"Then why do you say it's for your mother?"
"This is also true!" Lan Yi was still calm.
"Then you ......" Feng Yao was almost stunned by Lan Yi.
"If I don't give this reason, how can Uncle Xiao take me in? He didn't take me in, didn't you lose your word in front of me? I'm not doing this for your own good? Lan Yi ignored Feng Yao's panic at this time, and also threw away the bottles and cans in front of him and walked to the backyard.
Feng Yao stood there for a long time, she was very puzzled, why at this moment, she was like an outsider in this family?
