Chapter 60: The disguise of a woman disguised as a man is revealed
Rich people have everything, but people's desires are endless, so they like strange things more.
Although Jia Yuanwai's usual personality is uninhibited and doesn't care about a few stinky money, the common problem of rich and wealthy families is the same, they like to collect treasures, and the so-called treasures are rare things.
"One for each of the rows of tables on the left." Those tables are the best friends with him, although he wants to keep it for himself, but he has to give them a taste, after all, they have just said it.
Ye Jinyan went to the stove room to cut the preserved eggs and was about to bring them over, but on the way to the hall, she suddenly saw the figures of Ah Fu and the housekeeper, who were at the other end of the back garden, and seemed to be walking towards the hall.
She knew that Ah Fu would not be good here, so she turned around and walked to the other side of the rockery, wanting to pass by them, but their voices became clearer and clearer in her ears.
"What you said is true?" The butler turned his head to look at Ah Fu, the ledger was held tightly by him, but those eyes seemed to be exploring something.
Ah Fu nodded, "It's true! I've seen her before, she's a daughter, and now she's just changed into a long gown, otherwise how could he be so handsome. ”
Ye Jinyan frowned when she heard Ah Fu's voice, she was careless, she should find a place to lock Ah Fu up, instead of letting him come out and chew the root of his tongue.
She lay behind the rockery, feeling a little apprehensive.
The sun moved with the wind, and the heat was rolling in the sky, and the flowers in the garden were almost scorched.
"If you're telling the truth, then it's over!" The butler seemed a little angry, "No, I have to report it to the master!" ”
Ye Jinyan stood behind the rockery, gritted her teeth, the breeze blew her long hair, the heat did not disappear for a long time, and after a while, she walked in the direction of the hall.
The air in the hall was cold, and Jia Yuanwai looked up at Ye Jinyan with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "You come back." ”
Ye Jinyan took a few steps forward, she lowered her head and put the plate in front of Jia Yuanwai's table, and said in a low voice: "Master, the preserved eggs are here." ”
Jia Yuanwai waved his hand impatiently, "Don't be busy, there is one thing I am curious about and want to ask you." ”
Ye Jinyan's eyes darkened, and she admitted: "I am a daughter. ”
She suddenly didn't admit herself, which made Ah Fu, who was standing aside and watching the show, a little stunned, and Jia Yuanwai was indeed surprised, but Ye Jin's frankness and straightforwardness made him quite impressed.
"Brother Li has no sister or younger brother, he has always been naturally alone, that night he was beaten by some cooks because of a few words from Jia Yuanwai, and he still can't get out of bed, so I made this decision." Ye Jinyan hesitated.
"Because I was beaten up for a few of my words?" Jia Yuanwai's eyes narrowed slightly, he was very interested in this matter.
"I didn't send anyone to beat him."
Ye Jinyan bit her lip tightly, and her eyes were full of water, as if they were about to overflow.
Even if she dresses as a woman and a man, her expression still can't deceive people, and she is weak and pitiful.
Ye Jinyan is good at using her own advantages to confuse the enemy, and she rarely fights hard, unless she is 100% sure that she has fought.
Although Jia Yuanwai is over seventy years old, he has a full house of children and grandchildren, and seeing Ye Jinyan is like seeing his granddaughter.
Ye Jinyan seemed to be trying to sort out her emotions, she stretched out her hand, wiped a handful of tears, and said intermittently: "Master, do you remember those cooks who were kicked out a few days ago?" ”
Ye Jinyan said as he looked at Ah Fu who was standing aside with a pale face out of the corner of his eye.
Jia Yuanwai nodded, and suddenly asked, "Those cooks beat them?" ”
Ye Jinyan didn't nod or shake her head, and her silence was the last response.
Jia Yuanwai sneered, and his voice was a few degrees lower, "You really don't take me seriously." ”
People who know Jia Yuanwai and those who have seen him get angry know that he is very angry now, but because everyone is present, he didn't investigate who beat Li Hong in his name, but after the banquet is over, it will be different.
Those guests looked up at Jia Yuanwai, and they were shocked by the aura around Jia Yuanwai from the beginning and didn't dare to speak.
Jia Yuanwai also found out, after all, this is his seventieth birthday, and he can't let his family come happily, so let's go in a cold sweat.
He poured white wine and put it on the table, and laughed at the guests, "It is said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but I actually let so many friends see the joke!" ”
After Jia Yuanwai finished laughing, those guests also laughed, they didn't dare not give Jia Yuanwai, the excitement came back, Ye Jinyan was relieved that he had survived the catastrophe safely.
Jia Yuanwai didn't care about Ye Jinyan's pretend to be a man at all, after all, there are many women pretending to be men in an open atmosphere now. It's just that the people of this town are simple, and he was fortunate enough to go to Luoyang before, where there are many extremely handsome teenagers on the streets, and a large part of them must be women dressed as men.
Occasionally, he also saw a girl in a luxurious Luo skirt walking out of the Qinglou, and she also had a hosta pinned to her head, looking heroic.
Everyone began to drink and talk, and they didn't even have eyes when they laughed, and after three rounds of drinking, Jia Yuanwai suddenly called Ye Jinyan to him, and whispered in her ear: "Let it go." ”
The cutting method of preserved eggs is still different from duck eggs, it is cut out evenly with several petals, and it looks like a blooming chrysanthemum after plating.
The banquet passed very quickly, and although the process fluctuated a little, it was fortunate that it ended successfully.
Jia Yuanwai's mansion was full of lanterns, and the red lanterns were extremely dazzling under the quiet night sky.
Those guests went out from the door one by one, and when they left, they didn't forget to praise the deliciousness of the preserved eggs, and even some guests would secretly walk up to Ye Jinyan and ask her what to do with the eggs. And Ye Jinyan just kept her mouth shut and smiled lightly, and no one got any clues from her mouth.
Seeing that the inquiry failed, they had no choice but to leave in a sneering manner.
After the banquet, Ye Jinyan received an extremely generous remuneration from Mr. Bookkeeper.
She returned to the restaurant and wanted to share the remuneration with Li Hong, but Li Hong refused, he smiled nonchalantly: "You make the dishes, and you deal with the people, and I am just lying on the bed looking at the beam, so you should keep the money." ”
Ye Jinyan always felt that it was a little inappropriate to just accept the money like this, after all, Li Hong came up with this dish, and it was Li Hong who gave her this opportunity, no matter how Li Hong said it, he was already half of her mentor.
Li Hong casually said a few perfunctory words and wanted Ye Jinyan to go to bed early, but Ye Jinyan stood there and did not move, she lowered her eyebrows and said seriously: "This matter is indeed because you can do it well, no matter what, this is what you should take, if you don't take this money, I will be uneasy." ”
