Chapter 231, 232 Stingy Fiancée
As soon as he entered the door, Jin Yan found the kitchen with ease, and sure enough, the uncle Xiang that Jin Yan said was also in the kitchen.
"Uncle Xiang, you must be frying pork belly with green onions, you can smell the fragrance from afar!" Jinyan said with a smile.
The slightly obese man who was busy working in the stove immediately turned his head, and there was already a smile of surprise on his face.
"Ayan, when did you come back? Haven't come to see me until now! Uncle Xiang handed the spatula in his hand to another chef beside him, and walked over and slapped Jinyan on the shoulder.
"Oh, Uncle Xiang, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the strength of your hands can be seen rising." Jinyan deliberately grinned with a painful expression.
"What are you kid pretending to, I don't know you yet!" Uncle Xiang suddenly slapped again, and looked at Ye Mu beside Jinyan while smiling, his eyes shining again, "This little girl is ......"
Uncle Xiang's expression was so ambiguous that Rao is Ye Mu's cheekiness felt faintly hot.
"That's right, that's what you think. What do you think? Jin Yan seemed to be very proud and laughed in front of Uncle Xiang.
Hearing Jin Yan's affirmative answer, Uncle Xiang's expression suddenly became even more exaggerated, and he almost wanted to see Ye Mu thoroughly from head to toe. While watching, I couldn't stop praising it.
"What's the little girl's name, where is the person?" Uncle Xiang asked in a very kind tone. That expression was like a big bad wolf who coaxed the little sheep to take the bait, and Ye Mu was sweating profusely!
Before Ye Mu could speak, Jinyan waited for her to answer, "Uncle Xiang, you can just call her Mu Mu." ”
"Hello Uncle Xiang." Ye Mu also opened his mouth to call people with interest. She could see that the relationship between Uncle Xiang and Jinyan in front of her should be very unusual. Jinhiko here. Very relaxed, without a bit of shelf, and with more energy from young people.
"Good, good. Ayan, you are finally willing to bring someone back to show me! Uncle Xiang laughed heartily, laughing so hard that tears rushed out, and soon instructed Jinyan, "You quickly take Mu Mu to sit inside." By the way, go and get a jar of my pear blossom brew. I'll stir-fry a few dishes here, let's have a good meal! Uncle Xiang was full of red light. It's like having met a great event. Urging Jin Yan to take Ye Mu out first, don't be in the kitchen where the smoke is thick!
"Pear blossom stuffed! Uncle Xiang, you are really eccentric, I have coveted your jars of pear blossom brew for several years! You didn't even bring me a jar to taste! Jinyan had a jealous expression on his face.
"Hey, hey, you kid just know! In the future, Uncle will be Mu Mu's backer, if you dare to bully Mu Mu, Mu Mu just come and tell Uncle to see if Uncle doesn't break that kid's hand! Uncle Xiang said with a smile.
"Oh, Uncle Xiang. You broke my hand, it's still Mu Mu who is distressed......"
After laughing, Ye Mu followed Jinyan to the backyard. The backyard is Uncle Xiang's personal private place, and Jin Yan took Ye Mu directly to the backyard.
After a while, someone started bringing food in. The color, fragrance and fragrance are complete, and Ye Mu's index finger is moved.
The last dish was brought in by Uncle Xiang himself. As soon as he came in, he smiled and said, "You kid, while I didn't come, you secretly drank a few sips of wine first?" ”
Jin Yan also hurriedly laughed, "How can it." I don't dare to drink it now if I want to......" Jinyan said and laughed as he pouted at Ye Mununu beside him. looked like a strict wife, which made Uncle Xiang laugh again.
"Okay, Mu Mu should take care of him like this. You kid finally has someone to be afraid of, yes, yes! Uncle Xiang sighed. His face was full of relief and satisfaction, "Your kid's life has settled, and I am completely relieved!" ”
The meal was a pleasant meal. Uncle Xiang is very easy-going, uninformal, and doesn't pay much attention to etiquette. As long as he eats and chats happily, he is satisfied.
After eating and seeing that the time was almost up, Jinyan was about to leave. Uncle Xiang didn't keep too much, "I knew that your kid was very busy." However, it seems that Mu Mu will stay in Beijing for a longer time, so I will come to see my uncle more in the future. Uncle will make you more delicious food, make up for your body, look at this thin one, a gust of wind can blow it away! ”
"Okay Uncle Xiang, even if you don't say it, I will definitely come to eat." Ye Mu also smiled obediently.
The smile on Uncle Xiang's face was really even better, and he directly took off a string of beads from his wrist and handed it to Ye Mu's hand without saying anything, insisting that she catch it.
"Uncle didn't prepare any greeting gifts, I've been bringing this little thing for some years, so I'll take it for you to play!" Uncle Xiang said it very casually, as if it was just a simple thing, but Jinyan's face suddenly changed.
"Uncle Xiang, you...... This thing can't be given to Mu Mu, if you don't want to go, just move the good things in your house, this thing ......" Jin Yan said impatiently while giving Ye Mu a look.
Ye Mu is naturally not such a person who has no eyesight, and he also knows that this thing may have a special meaning to Uncle Xiang, so he handed the beads to Uncle Xiang again at the first time.
"Isn't it just a string of beads, and if you push it back and forth like this, don't you look down on your Uncle Xiang? Don't come after that! Uncle Xiang immediately pulled down his face, glared at Jinyan fiercely, turned back to change to a kind expression, and looked at Ye Mu with a smile, "Take it Mumu, a string of small things, nothing to worry about." The elders are indispensable. You can come to see Uncle more in the future. ”
Ye Mu glanced at Jinyan in embarrassment, and had to nod. Having said that, if she refuses again, it will really make Uncle Xiang sad.
However, when Ye Mu really took this string of beads in her hand, she was suddenly shocked!
Agarwood beads! This string of twenty beads turned out to be all agarwood! Moreover, the diameter of each bead is about two centimeters, and the grains are full and uniform......
Ye Mu was very, very surprised. Although she couldn't tell what kind of agarwood it was, what quality it belonged to. But she knew that it was agarwood without a doubt. Agarwood is definitely an inch of incense! Even really calculated, the same weight of agarwood can be much more expensive than the same weight of gold! Gold is easy to obtain, but agarwood ...... Or is it such a big agarwood...... Absolutely hard to find!
Ye Mu immediately wanted to return the things again, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it. To be honest, such a large string of agarwood beads. It's definitely very conspicuous. But just now, when she and Jinyan first came in to see Uncle Xiang in the kitchen, they obviously didn't see Uncle Xiang carrying this string of beads. Then between meals, Uncle Xiang went out and came back. And he took this string of beads with him. Of course, Ye Mu didn't find it strange, because there was nothing to scrutinize.
Now it seems. Uncle Xiang simply wanted to give her this string of agarwood beads! At this point, it's just an excuse.
Bidding farewell to Uncle Xiang, Ye Mu was taken directly by Jinyan to a very private personal modeling room.
Ye Mu has always been impatient to fiddle with these shapes or something. In her opinion. Although I also love beauty, I have to dress myself up like a vase and carry a shelf all night. So she never worked on styling. Of course, there is another important reason that he has always been in a state of disfigurement in his previous life, coupled with Ye Tian's squeeze and the strange eyes of outsiders. So much so that she hadn't looked in the mirror for several years, and she didn't want to see the demonic skin in the mirror at all!
As if knowing what Ye Mu was afraid of, Jinyan had already given Ye Mu a reassuring pill in advance. In line with his trust in Jinyan's eyes and taste, Ye Mu still sat honestly in front of the mirror.
But in her heart, she secretly hated that if this time it was still the same as before, she decided not to listen to Jinyan again!
However, this time, the styling was really unexpectedly fast! The makeup is very simple, because Ye Mu's skin is already very good, and the scar on her face at this time. Basically, there is only a layer of light powder left, and as long as you put on a little bit of foundation, you can't see anything. Coupled with her smooth baby-like skin, it makes the stylist love it. Straight yelling. This skin, any cosmetics are poison!
The stylist is a man in his twenties, rather feminine in appearance, but undeniably absolutely handsome. And Ye Mu felt at a glance that it seemed that those makeup artist modeling rooms basically looked the same, a little feminine! Plus an absolutely beautiful face, ahem, the standard best queen is subject to one!
Of course, this man with a rather feminine beauty also works as a makeup artist, stylist, and so on!
Although it is said that cosmetics are poisons, the queen still has no choice, so she picked a little thing and smeared it on Ye Mu's face. When his hands were working, it was almost like dancing, fast and soft!
Ye Mu was also very cooperative, following his instructions, looking up, looking left, looking right, or raising his head and lowering his head and closing his eyes. So soon, the makeup was done. Ye Mu opened his eyes and saw that the person in the mirror ...... It's still yourself, but it seems to be ...... A lot of places are different!
Ye Mu couldn't help but take a few more looks, although she knew that she was not ugly with a normal face, and she was still a little beauty, but she didn't expect the advantages and disadvantages on her face, after being magnified and disguised by the queen, her whole person seemed to be reborn. Ye Mu's eyes couldn't help but brighten a little, and the whole person looked more and more vibrant!
Hair was originally a very cumbersome step, but in the hands of the queen, it seemed to be simpler. On the slightly left side of Ye Mu's head, a loose bun was pulled and fixed with a hairpin decorated with a shiny diamond tassel. A few strands of hair that were combed out and rolled a few waves hung down naturally.
This head, only the diamond tassel hairpin is a highlight, but it is not monotonous at all! On the contrary, it looks simple, generous and noble!
Here's the clothes. Ye Mu thought that she would have to get a lot of clothes and try them on for her one by one, but unexpectedly, the queen only took a light gray pleated evening dress out.
"Isn't this color too dark?" Jinyan, who was sitting on the side, did not speak from beginning to end, and was quietly watching the queen give Ye Mu a look. At this time, when he saw the queen take out such a light gray skirt, he couldn't help but speak.
"Double the price tonight!" The queen glanced at Jinyan with disdain and spoke directly.
Ye Mu suddenly couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh, this queen is really full of personality! However, he is also very confident in his own vision. Otherwise, I would not dare to say such a thing.
Jin Yan really looked helpless, and smiled and gave Ye Mu a reassuring look.
Ye Mu got up and followed a girl to the inner room to change clothes. This girl has been standing by the queen's side from beginning to end, and it is estimated that it should be the queen's help. But whether it is taking tools or cosmetics, the queen is all made by herself, and she has no intention of protending others.
It was only when Ye Mu wanted to change his clothes now that the girl took the initiative to take Ye Mu inside to change his clothes.
The material of the skirt is biased towards chiffon. It's very comfortable to wear and light and fluttery. Although there was no mirror inside, Ye Mu already had a premonition. This skirt is definitely very beautiful!
Sure enough, when Ye Mu came out of it, Jin Yan and the queen turned their heads to look.
Ye Mu probably hasn't worn such a dress for a long time. It's always been a T-shirt and jeans, and even a skirt is rarely worn. So I wore a dress again after a long time. Suddenly I felt a little awkward. At this time, the eyes of Jinyan and the queen were too hot and focused, so Ye Mu was a little at a loss.
"Isn't it good?" Ye Mu was really overwhelmed by the gaze of these two people, and took the initiative to ask.
Jinyan seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses, and the heavy surprise in his eyes gradually faded, and he slowly walked to Ye Mu's side and whispered in her ear. "My Queen, so beautiful!"
Ye Mu immediately smiled. She knew it!
The queen had also returned to normalcy at this time, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, dare to question my choice?!" ”
"I promise that I will not dare to have any doubts and dissatisfaction with your decision in the future, and ...... In the future, I will bring Mu Mu here, and I will pay double the modeling fee, will it be? Jin Yan immediately became very upright, and immediately said according to the queen's wishes.
The queen's eyes lit up when she heard the sentence that she would pay double the styling fee in the future. Nodding in satisfaction.
Then he began to gush endlessly: "I knew you were definitely the most beautiful in this dress." It's been more than a year since I got this dress, but no one can afford it. I thought it was going to be wasted! If I really managed to find a piece of clothing that no one could wear, then I would have failed, and my name would have been ruined! As soon as I see you today. I knew I was finally going to be able to wear it, oh no, someone could afford it! I'm really excited, you know? You're just ......."
"Look at this, your clothes were destined to be worn by no one, but now I'm helping you eliminate them! It's a small thing, but the most important thing is that I have kept your reputation as the best stylist! It's so much more important than a piece of clothing! You don't mean it either? Ye Mu looked back and smiled, her eyes flowed, but because of her deliberateness, her expression was also a little more pure and charming than a girl, which was extremely moving!
For a moment, Jinyan and Queen Shou were both stunned fiercely. After Jin Yan came back to his senses, he immediately stepped forward and hugged Ye Mu; And the queen scolded fiercely, goblin!
Then, the queen asked Ye Mu to bring some simple accessories, originally prepared a thin platinum chain on his wrist, but because Ye Mu already had this string of agarwood beads, linked to Ye Mu's overall shape, clothing color, etc., this string of agarwood beads will not conflict with Ye Mu's fashionable shape, so this agarwood bead is retained. In addition, Ye Mu's whole body was covered with only a thin platinum chain hanging around his neck, and a drop-shaped diamond pendant hanging on his chest. The same simplicity and generosity.
Ye Mu was very satisfied with this outfit, and it was not too cumbersome at all. Originally, he also had earrings, but Ye Mu never liked to hang things on his ears, so he refused directly.
Ye Mu's modeling was simple enough, and it took less than two hours in total. Compared with Ye Mu's style, Jinyan's is even simpler and faster, and it can be done in less than half an hour!
At this time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Mu and Jin Yan drove directly to the scene of the banquet, the Zhou family's mansion.
Jinyan's car drove very slowly, not because he didn't want to be fast, but because the traffic in the capital was really unfast! It is especially difficult to lose within. This is also the reason why the dinner party will start at nine o'clock, but Jinyan brought Ye Mu to do the styling so early.
Sure enough, the distance was also long, and from more than five o'clock, the cars on the road were crawling slowly like snails, so when Jinyan and Ye Mu arrived, it was already nine o'clock in less than ten minutes. It's too late for them to come.
Jin Yan opened the car door for Ye Mu, Ye Mu took Jin Yan's arm, and walked into the yard with a faint smile on his face.
Before I even reached the gate, someone was already coming up to greet me.
The one standing at the front was not the housekeeper, it was Qiao Qilan!
Ye Mu couldn't help but laugh, Qiao Qilan's posture was like this, did she already regard herself as a member of the Zhou family? Ye Mu couldn't help but feel pity for her, poor Jinyan, an elm pimple, was not interesting. Treating Qiao Qilan, who is like a flower, can say such embarrassing words without blinking her eyes!
"Ayan, why haven't you come until now?" As soon as Qiao Qilan came up, she was about to stick to Jinyan's body.
Jin Yan took Ye Mu away without a trace, and said lightly: "Oh, did I come to the wrong place?" I didn't even know that this was a banquet hosted by the Qiao family? If it's wrong, let's leave. ”
Jin Yan said and immediately took Ye Mu to go back!
At this time, the housekeeper of the Zhou family, who was originally standing behind Qiao Qilan, had to stand up immediately. "Fifth Young Master, you're back, hurry up and come in with me. The old lady is waiting for you! ”
"I don't even know when the Zhou family is so ignorant of etiquette. Miss Qiao is also a guest of the Zhou family, right? Hehe, I'm not afraid that outsiders will see the joke! Jinyan sneered.
Qiao Qilan's face turned white all of a sudden, and her eyes were full of tears, dotted with stars, pitiful and moving!
The housekeeper didn't dare to answer, but wiped his sweat vigorously. This fifth young master is really a difficult character! What else dare he say?
"Let me introduce to you, this is my fiancée, Miss Ye Mu. Steward Xue will see it next time, don't know him, and don't forget to call someone! Jin Yan said coldly, then left the two people with even paler faces, and walked forward with Ye Mu.
Jinyan didn't really plan to leave, but he just wanted to get rid of Qiao Qilan's kraft candy, so he didn't give face at the beginning! Now that the purpose has almost been achieved, he walked in with Ye Mu by himself. Before leaving, he didn't forget to introduce Ye Mu's identity.
For a feast of a wealthy family like theirs, the female companions usually brought are serious family members. And if you are not married, you will probably bring a more solemn female companion. If the female companion has no identity, then she will not be introduced to me at all. Jin Yan solemnly named Ye Mu's identity to show that Ye Mu was not an inconsequential female companion brought casually.
Jin Yan took Ye Mu intimately all the way to the main house, and along the way, he had already attracted a basket of curious eyes. After all, the nature of this dinner party is well understood. So as soon as he saw the most mysterious fifth young master of the Zhou family appear, he immediately stretched his neck and looked carefully. Look again, it seems that the young master on Friday is not the eldest lady of the Qiao family! As a result, the onlookers immediately smelled the gossip!
As soon as I entered the hall, almost everyone's eyes shifted to me! At this time, it was already nine o'clock, and the banquet had already begun. Old man Zhou and old lady also attended in full costume, standing on the front rostrum and ready to speak! It's just that when the two of them saw Jin Yan bring Ye Mu in, the originally smooth words in their mouths stopped for a moment.
It's just that Old Man Zhou is who, and he quickly continued to finish those scenes.
"Next, I want to introduce you to a person, who is my youngest son, Zhou Jinyan." Zhou Lao smiled heartily and said loudly. Immediately afterwards, he looked at Qiao Qilan who was standing behind Jinyan, "Qilan, what are you doing standing so far away?" Why don't you bring Jinhiko over and say a few words to get to know everyone! ”
Qiao Qilan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward with a smile to grab Jinyan's arm. Unexpectedly, just when Qiao Qilan stretched out his hand to hold Jinyan's arm, Jinyan not only didn't take the initiative to be in the arm, but even turned his body to the side!
All eyes are on! Qiao Qilan's eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of mist, and the tears were already swirling in his eyes, and he was in danger of bursting at any time!
"Jinyan, what are you doing here?" Zhou Lao's tone couldn't help but get worse, and his eyes became even more gloomy, full of sternness!
"I'm sorry Miss Qiao, my fiancée is more stingy and jealous, and she doesn't like me to have any physical contact with other women, especially a beautiful woman who looks not much worse than her, she will have a sense of crisis!" (To be continued)
