Chapter 310: Surprise
"No, I haven't used up the lake pen you bought for me before." Ye Feng declined.
"Haven't run out yet? That means you're not trying hard enough. Liu Man'er pulled him and said, "Let's go, this family's brushes are famous for being easy to use, and many students buy them here." ”
"The elder can't give away, your sister-in-law wants to buy you a gift, you can't refuse."
Yun Niang also persuaded on the side when she heard this, but Ye Feng couldn't refuse, so she entered the study together.
This study is very large, it is very spacious, compared to those bookstores in Fengyang, but it is much more complete, there are all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Ye Feng saw this study, and he was a little amazed for a while, he first came to the place where the books were placed, took a book of interest, looked at it twice, and then he couldn't put it down.
Liu Man'er saw him like this, so he said: "If you like the books here, you can stay in this capital for a few more days, and you will have nothing to do in the future, you can also soak in this study every day, the owner of this study is good, you only need to pay a tea money, you can read here for a morning." ”
"Really?" Ye Feng's face was happy.
Liu Man'er nodded, but Ye Feng's face was a little gloomy, if Liu Man'er was here alone, he would definitely stay here for a long time, but thinking that Liu Man'er was married now, he didn't want to stay here longer.
"Let's go, there are brushes and inkstones over there, you can see if you like it, and my sister-in-law will buy it for you." Liu Man'er was very interested.
Ye Feng saw that she was full of smiles, she was very happy, and she didn't want to make her unhappy, so she forced herself to laugh and went to the shelf where the inkstone brush was placed with this Liu Man'er.
Soon, Ye Feng set his eyes on a gray and black inkstone, this inkstone, the surface is very smooth, moist, gray texture, as if it was rendered like this with ink.
It's just that Ye Feng looked at it, and reluctantly put it in its place, he is no longer a child who doesn't understand anything, such a good thing must be worth a lot.
"See something you like?" Liu Man'er asked.
"No, let's go look elsewhere." Ye Feng said.
He took a closer look, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here are very good, and it should be a relatively high-end place.
"Okay then." Hearing him say this, Liu Man'er nodded, took out a jade brush from the pen holder, and picked up the inkstone that Ye Feng had just taken, and said: "It's rare to come here, you always have to buy something, since you don't have a favorite, then I'll choose it for you." ”
"Sister-in-law, ......" Ye Feng was a little moved, it seemed that all his actions just now were taken into his eyes.
"Let's go." Liu Man'er ignored his touch, handed over the things to the servants, asked them to record the money in Ye Yuan's account, and then went to other places.
When I came to the capital, I naturally wanted to take Yun Niang to see the rouge gouache shop in the capital, jewelry cloth shops and other places, and after buying some things, I led everyone to the ready-to-wear shop to go around.
But the later it gets dark, the more atmosphere there is on this street, and then, Liu Man'er led Yun Niang and others to go around on this snack street, this place, some dignitaries and nobles generally do not come, but it is lively, down-to-earth, performers, jugglers, candy blowers, noodle sellers, all kinds of small vendors, the sound of selling is endless, with the sound of gongs and drums not far away, it is very lively.
When he came to this place, Shuai Shuai was lively, he broke free from the arms of the servant, jumped off the ground, and walked around the street by himself, as if he knew that he could get into trouble here, and Liu Man'er could handle it, so it sometimes stole someone else's face man, sometimes took someone else's sugar gourd, and sometimes went down with a paw, making a paw print for the sugar man that others had made.
The little maid behind Liu Man'er gave money to others and made amends at the same time, and Liu Man'er also shouted: "Handsome, you can't make trouble like this." ”
So it doesn't get these food, and is interested in some children's rattles, small toys, all in all, on this street, it is a lot of fun, Liu Man'er looked at the crowd and smiled, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Every time it comes out, it is the same as the monkey out of Wuzhi Mountain." ”
Even though she said this, she told the maid to buy all the things she liked, which were all gadgets anyway, and were not worth a few dollars.
The little maid behind her smiled when she heard this: "Who doesn't know, this handsome man is on the tip of his heart, and even our general doesn't dare to offend it." ”
"My sister-in-law is really good to Shuaishuai." Ye Feng said.
"Of course, it's good for me." Liu Man'er stretched out her hand to summon Shuai Shuai, lowered her head and rubbed its little head, and let it play again.
It was almost time to turn the street around, and the maid behind him reminded: "Madam, it's getting late, we should go back." ”
Liu Man'er said: "It's time to go back, everyone is tired after shopping all afternoon, you go and call the coachman to let him come here to pick us up." ”
When the little maid heard this, she covered her mouth and smiled: "I knew that Madame was going to bring a few guests to this street, and I had already asked the coachman to wait at the end of the street." ”
"You're a clever girl." When Liu Man'er heard her say this, she praised her.
The eyes of the maids in the capital couldn't be better, they were too clever, Liu Man'er could understand what she wanted with one look, and she was very thoughtful, which made her a little addicted to this extravagant life.
At the end of the street, the coachman was waiting there, and Liu Man'er and the others got into the carriage and went home.
The carriage stopped directly in the courtyard, Liu Man'er wanted to reveal the answer and let them know that the master was Ye Yuan, but who knew that Ye Yuan had asked someone to come over and say that he had something to do in the Dingbei Mansion today, and he would be able to come back later.
There was no way, Liu Man'er could only invite Ye Feng and the others to dinner by herself at night.
Yun Niang and the others also heard the servant's words, on the one hand, they were a little curious, but on the other hand, they didn't know how to face Liu Man'er's current husband, and the dinner table was very quiet.
"Man'er, don't we have to wait for you to be married?" Seeing that the food had been served, Yun Niang couldn't help but ask, I heard that this official etiquette has always been a lot, and Yun Niang was worried that the master would blame Liu Man'er when he came back.
"It's all time to eat, he won't come back by himself, what are you waiting for him." Liu Man'er said casually, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and said to everyone: "Let's eat first, don't worry about him." ”
Jiang Yunniang and the others were still a little hesitant, and the maid who was waiting behind Liu Man'er also said to everyone: "Yes, our general values Madame, don't worry." ”
Yun Niang listened to what the maid said not like a lie, and Liu Yunsheng glanced at each other, both of them were happy for Liu Man'er, but Ye Feng, hearing that the master of this was very good to Liu Man'er, somehow, he didn't feel it in his heart, but if he heard that he was not good to her, in his heart, I am afraid it would be even more unpleasant.
"What do you want?" Liu Man'er saw that Ye Feng looked like he was wandering out of the world, so he put a small piece of dried bamboo shoots in his bowl and said, "Oh, this is your favorite dried bamboo shoots, I specially asked someone to make it." ”
"Thank you." Ye Feng thanked him in a low voice, and silently chewed the dried bamboo shoots, but he felt like chewing wax.
Yun Niang saw that there was the most ordinary white porridge in the meal, so she went to drink it, but after only taking a sip, she raised her head with a bitter face and said to Liu Man'er: "Man'er, your white porridge is too sweet, right?" ”
"yes, haha, I don't like this." Seeing Yun Niang's wrinkled face, Liu Man'er couldn't help laughing, and the maid on the side added: "This is what our general likes to drink." ”
When Ye Feng heard this, his heart, which had just warmed a little, became a little uncomfortable again.
He really wants to slap the table and ask Liu Man'er, as the face of his ex-husband's younger brother, is it really good to show affection like this? But with good upbringing, as well as respect for Liu Man'er, he didn't do it after all, and only swallowed the bitterness silently in his stomach.
A few people were eating, Ye Yuan finally came back, he didn't know that Liu Yunsheng and the others would come over today, only to hear the servant say that Liu Man'er was here to feast guests, so he didn't think much about it, just stepped and came to this flower hall.
Liu Man'er is now very familiar with his footsteps, and when she heard his steps from afar, she stood up and said, "Ah, you eat first, my father-in-law is back, I'll pick him up." So saying, he went outside.
When everyone heard that the master was coming back, they looked at each other for a while, and became a little restrained.
Liu Man'er saw Ye Yuan coming from here not long after she went out, Ye Yuan saw her walking a few steps faster, and said, "Aren't you eating?" What are you running out for? ”
"Pick you up." Liu Man'er said with a smile: "I'm going to surprise you today." ”
"What surprise?" Ye Yuan hugged her, and the two walked towards the house.
"You'll know when you see it." Liu Man'er looked cunning, and when she arrived at the door of the flower hall, she didn't tell Ye Yuan, she only made a gesture of invitation.
Ye Yuan walked into the room calmly, but he didn't want to take a look at Ye Feng, who was looking up, and for a while, both of them were caught off guard.
"Big brother!" Ye Feng shouted, stood up, took two quick steps, and came to Ye Yuan's face.

Ye Yuan was really unprepared, and immediately felt a little flustered, then stretched out his hand and patted Ye Feng's shoulder, and said, "Third brother, you have really grown up, and now you are almost as tall as the eldest brother." ”
"Big brother, mother, they all thought you were dead, but we all miss you." Saying that, Ye Feng couldn't help but burst into tears, and hugged Ye Yuan tightly.
This made Ye Yuan stunned again, he also hugged Ye Feng tightly, patted him on the back heavily, let go of him, and said, "Manly man, what are you crying about." ”
Even though he said this, his eyes were clearly a little red.
Liu Yunsheng and Yun Niang on the side also greeted Ye Yuan and saluted, and then said to Liu Man'er: "Sister, it's so hard for you to hide from us." ”
