Chapter 121: Heart
Ren Yan slept very unsteadily this night, and she dreamed of Ren Yue.
It wasn't that she missed this brother, but that she had seen him kill people, with a musket, and the flames flew muffled, and the little girl opposite fell down.
That girl was a house slave of the Ren family, unable to see or speak, and had only a pair of ears that were extremely dexterous, but because of this, she was often teased by the young masters and young ladies, and finally died.
The body was dumped in an abandoned pond and floated into the dilapidated courtyard where Ren was staying. She and her old mother with inconvenient legs scooped people up for burial, and found that there was still an unfinished purse in her arms, with Ren Yue's name on it.
Later, she fought with Ren Yue for this girl she hadn't seen a few times, almost smashed his front teeth, and lay in bed for half a month, even her mother was punished by her father and deducted half a year's monthly money.
How many years ago.
But today she suddenly dreamed that the girl opened her eyes in the wet and black dirt pit, grabbed her wrist and said, "Miss Yan, I am in so much pain!" β
Ren Yan woke up, gasping for air with his mouth open, trying to calm his chaotic heartbeat.
The sweat-soaked forehead hair was brushed away, and a palm gently pressed her forehead, and asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" β
It's Gu Tingwen.
She flipped her aching body, trying to gather her gaze to see him.
There was only one wall lamp in the room, and the soft light shrouded his shirt and trousers, and the corners of his clothes that she had pulled out of her waist and held in her hands, which had been kneaded into dense folds, and it seemed that the time was not short.
She was embarrassed, hummed lowly, and asked, "What time is it?" β
Gu Tingwen held her head on her lap and leaned over to reach the watch on the bedside table. The dial slammed shut, and the pillow he was sitting on slipped down, and Ren Yan took it into his arms.
"Just after a quarter of eight, you slept for four hours." He smiled, stretched his stiff arm, and stroked her face.
Ren Yan hugged the pillow and turned it back, and said angrily: "I dreamed of my brother, he killed someone, and that girl used to serve him and me." β
"It's in the past."
He got out of bed and wrung a hot towel to wipe her face.
There was also sweat in his neck, and his hand stopped there, chuckling and asking her, "Is that okay?" β
Before undressing a girl's clothes, you have to ask what a gentleman she is!
"Oh."
She didn't hesitate, lay down flat, put the pillow over her face, and felt his fingers twist the wooden buttons of her nightdress.
There were six in total, gentle and gentle, not in a hurry, but they set a fire in her heart.
A warm towel swept across her neck, chest, and finally on her belly, wiping it.
She couldn't see his eyes, only his unsteady breathing, the hot towel being removed, and a kiss falling from his navel.
With a thrill, she shrunk her stomach and curled up her toes.
"I'm sorry."
Shocked, he quickly pulled out of his desire, grabbed her arm and turned her over, waited for her back, and tied her clothes.
Ren Yan raised his face from the pillow.
Against the light, his eyes were pitch black and dark, like a whirlpool of water surging constantly.
"It's okay." She said that she was probably disturbed by the whirlpool.
Gu Tingwen held her hand and laughed: "Go to dinner." β
"Okay."
In the garden restaurant, she saw Xu Fulun again, as well as the young men who always stayed by her side without saying a word.
Kang Bingqin is a rare person who is a friend of Gu Tingwen, and she is curious about their daily communication.
"It's boring." Xu Fulun was concentrating on tasting the steak, swinging the knife and fork freely, and he really couldn't see that his arm was injured.
With just one glance, she already understood her thoughts, and Ren Yan liked such a smart girl more and more: "Miss Xu's hurt ......"
"It's okay, it's just a mouth, it's just a new cheongsam that broke me, damn it!"
She clutched her fork and frowned, revealing the squeamishness of a young girl.
But half an hour later, Ren Yan knew that this squeamish girl had calculated Gu Tingwen twice and gave her a big gift.
"It's your fiancΓ©'s will, and it has nothing to do with me." Xu Fulun sat in the velvet sofa in the dance hall, holding his chin and listening to people playing Western musical instruments, his back was straight, and he was calm and calm.
Ren Yan remembered the evaluation of her in the newspaper, arrogant and arrogant, and ruined, which was really a lie.
Xu Fulun didn't care about this: "I am arrogant to me, he connived at him, if there is no love for one day, he will break up." β
As she spoke, her eyes were full of young men walking by.
Later, she got up and quietly held Ren Yan's hand: "If you like him, you will be good with him, if you don't like it, you will be neatly separated, the eyes of others are other people's business, what do we have to do?" β
In a few words, it was her bearing, and it also untied Ren Yan's heart knot.
Xu Fulun handed her over to Gu Tingwen: "Return to Zhao, Mr. Gu." β
Then her waist was hugged by Kang Bingqin and brought into the dance hall; There was a wound on her arm, but she just obediently snuggled in the arms of her grandfather, occasionally raising her face and smiling, still a young girl.
"So, I owe a favor to Cheng Jing, and there is one more?" Gu Tingwen rubbed Ren Yan's hair and smiled meaningfully.
was exposed to the deep buried thoughts, and she was embarrassed to boast: "Well, one is returned, and three are also returned, the seventh master is a man who stands up to the sky, you are this!" β
He pressed her forehead and flicked her thumbs up: "She knocked me a bamboo pole for you, and I have to give it away willingly, this friend of yours has a very good relationship." β
She was anxious and grabbed his hand back: "Don't want to snatch it back, Miss Xu said that it was your intention!" β
"You say yes, then it is." He nodded her head, "Boss Ren, take you to meet the elders." β
He said that the elders are naturally prominent, but he didn't expect to be so important.
This night's private meeting quickly met the newspaper, and at the same time there was a fish soup in the limelight, the writer was full of beautiful words, the taste of the gods, how many times in the world?
Ren Yan did not name the fish soup in a hurry that day, and now the rumors are flourishing, and the streets and alleys have passed, and the reputation of the angelfish soup is already known to women and children.
The rumors of the past were revived, but they were quickly covered up by the liveliness of fish soup and private parties, and even the image of Ren Yan and Xu Fulun entering and leaving the Li Shunde Hotel together can also cause heated discussions for three or five days.
Xiao Mei lived in the hospital, jumping up and down all day to introduce the famous female chef to her senior sister, Ren Yan went to visit with a food box, and she dragged her around the ward.
"Senior sister, you are famous." Xiao Mei grabbed her arm and begged for favors, "The pastries you made for me last time, our entire hospital knows about them, and many of them come to beg me to ask Master Ren to take charge!" β
Ren Yan was so troubled by her that her brain hurt: "You came here to recuperate, and you also became a broker, you are really capable!" β
Xiao Mei patted her chest: "That's not it, I've got to know the shopkeepers of many restaurants, and last time there was a master chef from Shanghai who came to visit the patient, specializing in lake dishes, my brother!" Tell you all about it! β
Ren Yan glanced at her: "In just three days, you are really not idle." β
Xiao Mei was triumphant: "I don't have much of a big deal, my dad is always worried about me, and he wonders if I'm stupid." Look at me, how clever I am! β
"Clever and clever, I see that you have a shaft on your neck!" Ren Yan was rubbed and swayed by her, and was forced to be helpless and coax her.
Xiao Mei pushed her and rolled her eyes: "You can't praise me seriously?" β
Boasting seriously, Ren Yan pondered about something, Xu Fulun asked her for some money, and the matter of opening a restaurant had to be mentioned mile by mile, otherwise it would be too late to go back and prepare again.
To do business, people want faces, as long as there is an ocean in the house, it is easy to touch, people, the most difficult to find!
The clever ones in the hall will come to things, and the character and craftsmanship in the back kitchen, if you turn around and invite a master like Du Liren to come, she can't hold back, and everyone will take a break together!
Xiao Mei muttered to remind her that this little girl is smart and clever and has a clever mouth, and she will not ask this talent to be Zhang Luo in the future; is a good boy who knows the roots, and the more Ren Yan looks, the more satisfied he becomes.
Xiao Mei was scary by her: "Senior sister, you have something to do, shouldn't you be happy, it's over, my dad has to beat me again!" β
Ren Yan touched her head: "It's okay, when Ming'er is well and discharged from the hospital, I'll pick you up, let's live together!" β
"Don't you have to go back to Wuxi? That's a good dare, no one cares about me! β
She escaped from the cage, rubbed her hands excitedly, looked at Ren Yan's appearance of smiling or not, and muttered: "I always see that your appearance is not right, should you hold back and sell me for the eldest son?" β
Ren Yan smiled kindly and kindly: "That can't be, you are much more valuable than the eldest son!" β
Xiao Mei took a breath of cold air.
If you want to ask other girls to do business together, you have to explain to your parents, Ren Yan saw Xiao Tong, and the first one to say this matter.
"If you want to say that you and I are not worried, it's just that the kid is stubborn and doesn't understand the rules, and he punches the master to death, I always think about it in my heart."
Ren Yan smiled: "When you look back and the kitchen, you can always take care of it, right?" β
Xiao Tong didn't expect this, and smiled: "This is still my business." β
"You are my master, and you have to take care of your apprentice for the rest of your life." Ren Yan looked happy, "Besides, you still have something to do, don't you, and it's good to have a cover as a chef." β
The words are so clear, Xiao Tong has no reason: "Let you take risks." β
"Don't say anything out of sight, we'll settle this matter first."
Closing the door is her ambition, and when she goes out, she is still a low-eyed helper when she enters Hongpheasant Hall.
People just came back from Tianjin, the shopkeeper personally came to the door to invite, the words mean that after the big holiday is also time to work, back to the angelfish soup to make a piece, everyone to taste it.
Ren Yan responded to work, but he didn't say anything about the fish soup.
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered: "Master Ren is planning to set up his own door?" β
Ren Yan smiled: "I've only been with the hall for less than a year, saying that I don't know how thick the sky is, but no one can be with anyone for a lifetime, I also have to be a bit of a Qiaozong, and I can live when I turn back." β
"Does the Seventh Master know?" The shopkeeper asked, smiling and snorting, "Foolish, didn't you go to Tianjin this time to be led by the Seventh Master, but you met a good owner?" β
Did he go to the house of the one on the zenith to be a cook, or was he invited by the Kang family, so neat, the seventh master was willing to do it?
Ren Yan shook his head: "Seeing the days of the chef union in front of me, I don't dare to think about these." β
