Chapter Twenty-Three: Man Has a Thousand Faces

"I have one more thing for you to do here." Xue Xiang said, took out a letterhead from the inside of the pillow and handed it to Xiao Yanhua.

Xiao Yanhua opened it, pulled out half of the thick stack of papers, and found that it was a list of information about some celebrities and powerful people.

"It's ......"

"Over the years, the spider shadow has become more and more prosperous, and there are countless people who want to climb the relationship, and these are all people who come to propose." Xue Xiang said, carefully observing Xiao Yanhua's expression, he saw that Xiao Yanhua lowered his eyes and didn't react, he only sighed: "I don't have a son's life in my life, although you were more than ten years old when you came, but I have always treated you as my own child." ”

"I understand." Xiao Yanhua's eyes flashed with a warm light, he is now twenty years old, the first ten years were bumpy and miserable, and the last ten years have the fallen leaves to return to their roots, Xue Xiang and Xue Lin are his relatives now.

Xue Xiang's gaze fell on the letterhead in Xiao Yanhua's hand, "People are old, and their energy is not good, so you can only do this matter." ”

Xiao Yanhua actually heard a hint of a feeling of being lonely in these words, and he immediately refused as soon as his heart tightened, "But this is too excessive, it is better for the righteous father to choose his own son-in-law." ”

Xue Xiang shook his head lightly, "I can't do it anymore, I can't accept the old age...... Elder brother is like father, I believe in your vision. Lin'er is my only daughter, and I don't want to see her wronged, you know. ”

"I see." Xiao Yanhua nodded cautiously and pushed the paper back into the letterhead to put it away.

Later, he sat with Xue Xiang for a while and chatted about some of the movements in the rivers and lakes in recent days. About half an hour later, Zhao Wenxi brought the tonic medicine, Xiao Yanhua helped feed Xue Xiang the medicine, and then went back to continue to be busy.

When Xiao Yanhua's footsteps gradually moved away, Zhao Wenxi sighed, "Uncle." What are you doing turning this corner, why don't you say it directly, I don't think the second master will refuse. ”

Xue Xiang laughed at him, "You don't understand, that set is useless to Yanhua, he is a different kid." ”

β€”β€”

In the middle of the moon, Xiao Yanhua finally finished handling all the accounts of the hall. He stacked the written ledgers together and piled them on the corner of the table, and then took out the letterhead that Xue Xiang gave him, and looked at it in his hand in a daze.

The night wind blew in the fragrance of flowers, and the lights in the house went out twice, and he didn't bother to get up to add them. Today there was no cloud, the moon was full, and the moonlight shining into the house was much brighter than the lights.

Xiao Yanhua looked at the names of those sons-in-law, but his thoughts slipped away......

I still wanted to see her early, but my father-in-law suddenly gave me such a tricky job, and the matter of going out could only be delayed for a few more days. Today's account reading is confused, and I don't know how to choose. I haven't done the work of pulling the red line before, so how to pick this.

He dragged a new piece of paper and laid it out, picked up the pen and hung it on the paper, but he couldn't write it down. This is Lin Er's lifelong event, but it's really messy to care about......

The door was pushed open with a creak, and a woman leaned in, she grinned at Xiao Yanhua, "I haven't slept yet." ”

"Aren't you too." Xiao Yanhua saw that it was her, so she simply put down the pen and didn't plan to work.

Xue Lin flashed into the door, and reflexively kicked the door with his foot, "You are too busy to sleep, I can't sleep when I'm idle." What do you get? Those who are blind in the dark do not know how to ask people to change their candles. ”

She has a palm-sized goose egg face, with willow leaf curved eyebrows and a vermilion mouth, she is really a pretty little beauty. Her hair had been torn apart, and she was supposed to have just bathed. He also wore a thin cloak over his shoulders, carrying a lantern in one hand and a food box in the other.

"Thisβ€”" Xiao Yanhua threw the paper on the table, hesitating to tell her clearly. It would definitely be more convenient to let Lin Er choose by herself, but after all, most girls are thin-skinned......

Xue Lin saw that he was hesitant, so he put down the lantern and food box, and went around the table to get it himself. Then she couldn't help laughing out loud after just one look, "I really didn't expect Dad to do this." ”

"How."

Xue Lin shook his head, "You don't have to do this job at all, you should rest after a busy day, go to bed after eating supper." ”

Xiao Yanhua was a little suspicious, "But my father-in-law deliberately -"

"That's Daddy trying to make you anxious." Xue Lin couldn't laugh anymore, "He, he just wants you to hurry up and propose marriage, and then marry me." I told him not to do this, but he just wouldn't listen. ”

Listening to Xue Lin's words, Xiao Yanhua couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose with his hand helplessly, he really didn't know what to say, especially the female protagonist was still here, no matter what he said, it was wrong, and in the end, he would offend his aunt and grandmother.

Xue Lin sat next to Xiao Yanhua, she affectionately put her chin on his shoulder, and asked with a lovely wink, "Brother Xiao, is Daddy really successful, are you really in a hurry?" ”

Xiao Yanhua's body froze there and didn't move anymore, his hands were still covering his eyes and asked, "Lin'er, what are you treating me for?" ”

"My brother Xiao, what do you do with Lin'er, Lin'er will take you as anything." Xiao Yanhua didn't see it, and when Xue Lin said this, her eyes flashed with a crystal light, as if they were two meteors in the sky, standing out from the starry sky.

"I think of you as my own sister in my heart, but ......" After all, he was just a parasitic fence, and he took too much from the spider shadow.

The two of them fell silent like this, and after a long time, Xue Lin's happy voice sounded again, "Then Brother Xiao is also a brother in my heart, so don't think too much." ”

β€”β€”

At this time, Tongyue Jiang Qingzong.

The courtyard of the main house was brightly lit, and there was a table of eight immortals made of redwood wood in the courtyard, and a large table of dazzling dishes was spread, and those delicacies were very attractively reflected by the hanging red lanterns. Coupled with the lush flowers and plants in the courtyard, rockeries and flowing water, the atmosphere was extremely beautiful, so that Qu Yilan was stunned by this battle when he led Zi Ying into the door.

Su Wenyuan sat on the main seat, and on the left hand side, she also had a good position for the young master. The people sitting at him were Su Wenyuan's three wives and several children. If it weren't for the fact that Qu Yilan had lived in this courtyard for many years, she would really think that this was actually a mansion surnamed Su. Zi Ying naturally felt this, she hid her displeasure in her heart, and served Qu Yilan to sit in the empty seat.

After Qu Yilan sat down, he looked at these people. There was a lady who looked at the child, and she was holding a young child in her arms, and she looked a little submissive. The other Qu Yilan is ripe, that is Hua Yueying's henchman Tao'er back then. I don't know what kind of mood Hua Yueying was in when Tao'er was put on the concubine position.

Su Zhao had a wooden face, and Su Qianqian was even more pale. Only Su Wenyuan looked at her lovingly from beginning to end, "You just returned to the mountain yesterday, and you must be very tired, so the reception banquet will be left today." ”

Qu Yilan also smiled shyly, "Why is Daddy so polite, Lan'er is very moved in her heart." ”

Qu Yilan would hardly put on such a warm, happy and heartfelt smile, her sudden gentleness was like the bright moon blooming brightly. Several women at the table looked away, and everyone at the table had their own thoughts.

Everyone picked up chopsticks to eat, and after a while, Su Wenyuan asked her, "You went to see the shop today, how did you feel?" ”

Qu Yilan shook her head slightly, "I don't feel anything else, I just met two Huazhen Mountains at the door of the shop, and Lan'er felt that Hua Zhenshan's seemed to have the meaning of clearing the door." ”

"Really?" Su Zhao couldn't help but glance at her.

Qu Yilan sighed, "I shouted and scolded at the door of the shop, and I flew the hidden weapon at the shop, and I was not afraid of hurting others, so I was very arrogant." ”

"Then Lan'er thinks it's better to deal with it?"

"A person at the bottom is always so immodest, why don't you let them get out of the Nine Sects."

Su Wenyuan was suspicious in her heart, if she wanted to talk about arrogance, she said lightly that she would kick people out of the Nine Sects. It's just that except for Su Zhao, the rest of the people present are all female dependents, and boys who are not valued or old enough, and no one thinks that there is something wrong with what Qu Yilan said.

"Lan'er, do you have any suggestions?" Su Wenyuan asked tentatively.

However, Qu Yilan refused to continue, "This matter is all handled by my father and younger brother, Lan'er can't interfere indiscriminately." ”

Su Zhao snorted heavily, he didn't believe it, who didn't know that Qu Yilan was coming back to rob the Qing Sect. Now the left one doesn't interfere, and the right one doesn't make trouble, she either wants to catch the old and indulge, or she is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

"What are you talking about this for, the girl has just come back for a day, you men will handle it yourself." Hua Yueying suddenly smiled and said, "This little girl, she should enjoy the treatment of the girl's family, since ancient times, men have stood up to the sky, how can there be a reason for the little girl to worry about it." Lan'er, you just have a good rest, play with peace of mind at your own home, and see who dares to force you to help with the work. ”

Qu Yilan suppressed the coldness in her heart, and Su Wenyuan said casually: "Madam is serious, how dare anyone." ”

The little boy who was being held suddenly spoke with his teeth, and the child said inarticulately, "Big sister is beautiful." ”

The lady was a little flustered, she was not used to coming out on such occasions, and now she did not know whether to cover the child's mouth or not.

Su Qianqian, who had always had a bad face, barely put on a smile and flattered Qu Yilan, "My brother knows what beauty is at such a young age." I didn't expect it, I haven't seen it for so many years, and the eldest sister looks so amazing, I am envious and jealous when I see it. I don't know what kind of person is worthy of the eldest sister. ”

"It's still a long way off, but my sister can think about it quickly." Qu Yilan looked at the person with the worst acting skills here, this pampered eldest lady has long been accustomed to going straight, and she doesn't know how to act at all.
