Chapter 259: Guest
"Mother......" Liu Man'er pulled Fang's sleeve and whispered: "I'm afraid that if I don't go back, my family will be in a hurry, and Rourou may cry at home later." ”
"This is out of the way, just let someone notify you." Yan Ruifan answered on the side.
"But my daughter is still young, and I'm afraid she will cry at home." Liu Man'er said again.
When Yan Ruifan heard Liu Man'er's words, a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal: "It's just right, I haven't seen Ling Ai yet, why don't you let someone bring her over later?" ”
"What else did you bring here, why don't you go to my house for dinner, Young Master Yan." When the Fang clan saw that Young Master Yan was a talent, he invited him very warmly.
"In that case, thank you, auntie." Young Master Yan also beat snakes and sticks, and even the title became cordial.
After hearing this, the Fang clan was even more happy, and said with a smile to Young Master Yan, "Young Master Yan, it is my family's honor for you to come to my house, I have been to your house to listen to the drama before, but I haven't seen you for a while." ”
The Fang family was in the countryside at that time, and later went to the county seat to recuperate, but he didn't know much about what happened to the Yan family in the county seat.
"We're moving our families now and don't live in the county anymore." Young Master Yan was not annoyed when he heard Fang Shi talk about his sore spots, but said, "If you like to listen to operas, I will introduce you to an opera troupe when the time comes." ”
"What's so embarrassing about that?" Fang Shi hurriedly refused.
"It's okay, it's just a gesture."
"No, the main thing is that I like to listen to books now." Seeing that Young Master Yan was kind, Fang was afraid that people would be really busy, so he told the truth, "I'm idle now, listening to books in my own teahouse, Man'er, this child is a filial piety, in order to facilitate me to listen to books, I opened a teahouse on the street not far from my house, and it is convenient for me to go every day." ”
When Young Master Yan heard Fang's words, he also had some stalk in his heart, he had a rare kindness, who knew that people didn't appreciate it.
"It's okay, Man'er's words are indeed wonderful, and my aunt likes to listen to it, and it's human nature." Young Master Yan nodded and followed Fang's words.
"That's right." When Fang saw Young Master Yan say this, as if he had found a confidant, he pulled Young Master Yan to chatter about Liu Man'er along the way, and it happened that Young Master Yan had also seen it, so she discussed it with him all the way, and she didn't shut up until she was almost home.
Liu Man'er also felt interesting when she listened to it on the side, she just didn't expect that Young Master Yan was such an indifferent person on weekdays, and she didn't expect to be able to listen to Fang's all the way patiently.
"Here we are, this is my home." After telling the story along the way, the Fang family and Young Master Yan got closer, and after she led Young Master Yan into the door, she said to the servant woman who ushered in: "Tell Aunt Quan, cook a few more dishes, there are distinguished guests today." ”
"Home cooking is fine." Young Master Yan said busily.
"Then how can you do it, Young Master Yan, what kind of person are you? I'm afraid my food won't suit your appetite. "Seeing that Young Master Yan is handsome, temperamental, and good-tempered, Fang has long regarded him as a fairy-like character, and although his family has been in this county for a long time, except for Steward Wu's family, there have always been no friends in the family.
It wasn't enough to let Aunt Quan add a few more dishes, Fang Shi thought for a while, and said, "Invite the chef of our restaurant, yes, it is the chef who was invited on my birthday." ”
Last time on Fang's birthday, Liu Man'er specially invited the chef to celebrate her birthday, she said it was a waste at the time, who knew that she had this chef in mind.
"This ......" The servant woman hesitated a little and looked at Liu Man'er, after all, inviting the chef of this restaurant away would delay the restaurant's business.
Seeing this, Liu Man'er made a color at her and said, "Go and please, just say what I said." ”
It is rare for Fang Shi to speak, this little request, he still has to meet her, just right, you can also taste the chef's craftsmanship by the way.
"I'm sorry." Young Master Yan arched his hand towards the Fang clan.
"That's nothing." Fang Shi smiled, took Young Master Yan to the flower hall, picked up the teapot on the table and was about to pour him tea, suddenly something happened, put the teapot down, and said, "Man'er, you sit here with Young Master Yan first, and I will go to my room to bring the tea leaves." ”
"Okay." Liu Man'er looked at the back of Fang's hurriedly leaving, squeezed out a smile on her face, and said, "Young Master Yan, you don't have to worry too much, my mother is such an enthusiastic person, and there are no friends in the ordinary family, she is very happy that you can come as a guest." ”
"Well, I can see that I'm bothering you." Young Master Yan smiled at Liu Man'er, opened his mouth and was about to say something to her, when the Fang clan appeared at the door like a gust of wind, holding a delicate porcelain white jar in her hand, and said, "The tea has been brought." ”
Liu Man'er was a little distressed when she saw it, this tea was secretly given to her by Ye Yuan last time, saying that it was a first-class tribute tea in the palace, and the annual output was scary.
This tea is fragrant and pleasant, and Fang's is also very precious to it, she puts it in her room on weekdays, and she is reluctant to drink it, but she didn't expect it to be so generous this time.
Put a few pieces of tea in each cup with tweezers, wash it with boiling water first, and then brew it, it is full of fragrance, and even characters like Yan Ruifan are not only praised: "Good tea." ”
"This is the filial piety of my family, and I, a country woman, don't know whether it tastes good or not." Being able to get Young Master Yan's praise, Fang felt that he had a lot of face, and the smile on his face was also deeper.
Young Master Yan also laughed, "I knew that Man'er was a filial girl. ”
"yes." Fang Shi nodded, and said, "My daughter-in-law here is good, but her life is not good." ”
Saying that, she almost burst into tears, and Young Master Yan saw it and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Did something happen? ”
"My son has been on the frontier all these years, and the year before last I heard that something happened to him, and there is no news about him so far." Fang said in a dumb voice, "It's been so long since this happened, although I'm sad, but it's more distressing for my daughter-in-law, the child is still so young, it's really not easy for her to support this family alone." ”
"Ah, is there such a thing?" Yan Ruifan looked completely ignorant and said, "Don't worry, auntie, I seem to have heard that there is a God of War general in the frontier this year, also called Ye Yuan." ”
"Really?" Hearing Yan Ruifan's words, Fang Shi was so excited that he even grabbed his hand and said, "Who did you listen to?" ”
Seeing Fang's expression, Liu Man'er didn't wait for Yan Ruifan to speak, and said, "Mother, don't be too happy, I have already inquired, people are not from the same place as us." ”
"Really? It's that I didn't inquire clearly, and I made you happy in vain. Yan Ruifan felt a little guilty.
Liu Man'er shook her head, and Fang's voice was also bitter: "This has nothing to do with you, it's because we want to get good news too much, forget it, it's rare for you to come here, let's not talk about these unhappy ones." ”
"Man'er, bring us over and show it to Young Master Yan." Fang Shi said, Liu Man'er stood up, and at this time, she went back to the room to change a set of clothes, and then found Ye He and the others, said to them, and hugged Rourou over.
Ye He and the others heard that Young Master Yan was coming, and they also followed Liu Man'er lively, and when Liu Man'er entered the flower hall, the two of them hid at the door and secretly looked into the house, and after being discovered by Liu Man'er, the two stuck out their tongues and escaped.
"Two children, don't know the rules." Fang smiled when he saw it.
"It's okay, kid." Young Master Yan didn't care either, seeing that Fang reached out and took the child in Liu Man'er's hand to hold it to him, he was slightly stunned, but he still reached out and took it.
When she saw the living person, her soft eyes were rolling slightly, if a stranger hugged her on weekdays, she would cry, but today, she looked at Young Master Yan and looked like a curious baby.
"Look, this little girl, seeing how good-looking you are, I can't bear to let go of you." Fang Shi smiled on the side when he saw it: "On weekdays, others refuse to hug her. ”
"I'm really honored then." Young Master Yan smiled slightly, carefully looked at the soft and gentle glance in his arms, and only felt that she had big eyes and long eyelashes, and she looked very good, like a little elf.
"This kid is so cute, what's his name?" Young Master Yan asked.
"Her nickname is Rourou, and her big name is Ye Huanyan." Liu Man'er replied.
"Good name, it looks like you." Holding this little child, soft and soft, he was as if he was holding a fragile object, cautious.
After a long time, she was willing to return her to Liu Man'er, jokingly: "I have never held a child, and my hands tremble when I hold her." ”
"Really? Young Master Yan, don't you hold your child at home? Fang asked puzzled.
"I haven't married a wife yet." Hearing Fang Clan say this, Yan Ruifan's face flushed slightly.
"Seeing that you are not young, why are you still marrying a wife?" No matter how Fang looked at it, he felt that Young Master Yan didn't look like someone who couldn't find a wife.
"It's a long story." Yan Ruifan didn't want to talk about it, waved his hand, and only said: "My career has not been completed, and I haven't considered it for the time being." ”
"How's that going to work?" When Fang heard Yan Ruifan say this, his mind became lively, and he said: "Everyone starts a family and starts a business, first start a family and then start a business, I see that you are not young, you can't have a confidant around you, it's just that there is no suitable girl around me for the time being, otherwise I can introduce one to you." ”
Indeed, the Fang family has no connections, and the girls she knows are also some little girls in the countryside, not to mention Yan Ruifan, even herself, and now she is also a little disdainful.
"But don't worry, we'll look for it slowly, and I'll inquire about you in this county town when the time comes." Fang said enthusiastically.
Yan Ruifan had a feeling of crying and laughing, he was really not in a hurry, if he wanted to marry a wife, he would have married a long time ago, but he would not wait until now.
"Okay, mother, how many people want to marry someone like Young Master Yan? You don't have to worry about it. Liu Man'er covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that the Fang clan might be too idle during this time, and whoever she saw wanted to be a matchmaker.
"That's too." Fang Shi nodded, but she didn't say this, and she didn't have anything to talk about with Yan Ruifan, so she stood up and said, "I'll go and see how the kitchen is prepared, you guys will talk first." ”
Saying that, she stood up and walked out, Liu Man'er shook her head helplessly, the door was open, she was not afraid of gossip, but she didn't know what to say to Yan Ruifan, so she only gently patted Rourou and coaxed her to sleep.
