Chapter 1200: Virtuous Son-in-law
Time came to noon in a blink of an eye, Zhang Fan carefully held a cream cake and was led to the hall by Feng Mumu.
Normally, the family of the old lady and the lady will eat here.
When he came to the hall, Zhang Fan saw the young lady of the main family, sitting on a chair, looking at something intently, at first he thought she was reading a book, but when he looked closer, he found that she was looking at ink paintings.
"Miss, your lunch is ready!" Zhang Fan put the cake on the table, with a respectful attitude, and shouted softly.
But after shouting a few times, the young lady of the main family was still looking at the ink painting in her hand in a daze, and she didn't mean to look up at all.
It seems that I was deeply attracted by the person on the ink painting.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Fan frowned, and an inexplicable thought suddenly rose in his heart.
Could it be that the reason why this young lady can't eat is that she has some kind of lovesickness?
Because he has lovesickness, he thinks about his sweetheart, so he doesn't think about tea and food, so that his body is getting thinner and thinner.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and approached the young lady some distance again, and when there was only less than one meter left from her, he finally saw the content of the ink painting.
I saw that on the ink painting, there was a man with long braids with a delicate and handsome face and a graceful demeanor.
The man was riding a black-brown horse with a tall head, and he was shooting eagles with his bow and arrows, and his hungry face was full of energy, and he looked like a talent, giving people a sense of burly and lofty instruments.
Sure enough, this young lady was indeed suffering from lovesickness, and was fascinated by the person in the portrait.
It's not surprising, it's not surprising.
"Miss, you better eat, only when you have eaten enough, can you see your sweetheart, and your sweetheart definitely doesn't want you to be thinner and thinner."
Zhang Fan comforted softly.
After saying this, the young lady of the main family, who was originally looking at the portrait in a daze, slowly raised her head, looked at Zhang Fan, stared for two seconds, and nodded silently.
The face of the young lady of the main family was still covered by a white scarf, and Zhang Fan didn't know what her face looked like.
Seeing that the host lady agreed to eat, Zhang Fan hurriedly put the cream cake in front of her.
"It's ...... What food? Why have I never seen one? β
The young lady of the main house made a crisp and beautiful voice like a silver bell.
"This came from the palace, it's a Western thing, it's called a cake." Zhang Fan explained with a smile.
"I haven't heard of it." The young lady shook her head, and then seemed to not want to talk too much nonsense with Zhang Fan, so she picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a mouthful of cake, put it in her mouth, chewed a few bites, and suddenly spit it out again, frowned, and said, "I don't like sweets very much." β
Zhang Fan: "??? β
Didn't you say okay, you like to eat bean buns?
Aren't bean buns all sweet?
Why don't you like sweets anymore?
Could it be that the information given by Feng Mumu was wrong?
"Miss, you don't like sweets, so what do you like to eat?" Zhang Fan calmed down and hurriedly asked.
"I don't have an appetite anymore, I don't want to eat anything, you can take it down."
The young lady of the main family sighed faintly, slowly stood up, and walked towards the back with the ink painting, leaving Zhang Fan alone stunned.
What's going on?
This young lady is too difficult to serve, right?
Zhang Fan couldn't figure it out for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
I'm not afraid that you will eat more, nor will I be afraid that you will eat less, but I am afraid that you will not eat.
"Miss, why don't you take another bite, otherwise I won't be able to explain when the master comes back." Zhang Fan shouted softly.
Hearing this, the young lady of the main family paused, turned her head and said: "That's your own business, it has nothing to do with me, it's not easy to work in my house, if you feel difficult, then you can go to the ancient housekeeper to quit now!" β
"Uh......" Zhang Fan was stunned.
Soon, the young lady of the main family shook her head and gradually walked away.
It wasn't until she disappeared that Zhang Fan lowered his head with a depressed face.
It's fucking hard to serve.
Sure enough, there is another young lady's life, and another young lady's illness, which doesn't make sense at all.
Since the young lady didn't eat it, Zhang Fan had no choice but to give the cream cake to Feng Mumu on the side.
Feng Mumu did not refuse, but after leaving the hall, he found a corner to eat.
She eats quickly and seems to be afraid of being discovered.
After Feng Mumu finished eating, Zhang Fancai put his hands in his pockets and walked to the accommodation room in the west wing.
On the way, Zhang Fan suddenly looked at Feng Mumu and asked, "Do you say that our crescent village has any very unique customs?!" β
"Unique customs?!"
"Why do you ask this?" Feng Mumu was confused.
Since Zhang Fan gave her some food that she had never seen before, her impression of Zhang Fan was getting better and better.
"No, it's just pure curiosity." Zhang Fan smiled.
"Speaking of which, there really is, the ten-year Moon Immortal Festival should start soon, it seems to be on the day when the young lady and the young master get married." Feng Mumu added.
"Is there a doorway here? I also recently moved to Crescent Village, and I don't know much about the customs here. β
Zhang Fan smiled bitterly.
"I'll tell you secretly, in fact, this Moon Immortal Festival will be particularly weird, often a woman is elected from the main family in each village, dancing at the Moon Immortal Festival, in order to communicate with the Moon Immortal in the sky, as long as you can communicate with her, you can get a wish."
"The woman who was chosen was called the Miao saintess by us, in fact, it was said to be a saint, but in fact it was a sacrifice, often after the dance, the saint would be seriously ill and would need to be raised for several years to recover."
"Communicating with the Moon Immortal is very detrimental to life and essence blood."
Feng Mumu revealed a very vague message to Zhang Fan.
"How else can this be?" Zhang Fan's eyes widened, he didn't expect this so-called Miaojiang Holy Maiden to mean something like this.
"There's no need to be surprised, in fact, the scope of Miaojiang Mountain is very large and vast, there are countless villages, some villages believe in the Moon Fairy, but some of the villages believe in other things, each village has the word Saintess, of course, this is just a title, and there is no other meaning, anyway, on the day of the Moon Immortal Festival, it is very lively, and the people in the surrounding villages will come one after another, I heard that the saint selected this time is ......"
Feng Mumu was about to continue to reveal information to Zhang Fan, but in the next second, an inexplicable shout came from outside the door.
"Madame, they're back!!"
The person who shouted was the ancient butler, and listening to his voice, he was a little out of breath, as if in addition to the lord and the lady, there were other distinguished guests who came to visit.
"Master, they're back, I'll go out to greet them first!" Feng Mumu shuddered, dropped such a sentence, and hurriedly ran out.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan's eyes moved slightly, thought for a moment, and chose to walk out in the same way.
As soon as he came outside from the west wing, he saw the lord and his wife, and behind them was a handsome man with long braids.
His appearance is exactly the same as the person in the ink painting in the hand of the young lady.
It seems that this person is the sweetheart of the young lady of the main family, and I didn't expect to visit today.
"He is Miss's fiancΓ© and a cousin." Feng Mumu explained on the side.
"So that's the case, he looks really talented." Zhang Fan nodded and gave a pertinent evaluation.
"Young Master Cousin is very powerful, I went to Beijing to take the exam a while ago, and I won the top prize in high school, and when I came back this time, I came to marry Miss as my wife."
"If the young lady marries the young master as his wife, then he will be prosperous and rich in the future." Feng Mumu looked adoring, and his face was full of envy and showed a look.
Also when Zhang Fan and Feng Mumu were talking in a whisper, the three masters of the main family, accompanied by a group of subordinates, walked towards the hall, but as soon as they came to the front of the steps, they saw the young lady of the main family trotting out of the inner room, and the whole person threw herself into the arms of the young master with long braids regardless of the image.
This scene is so sweet that it can make people die sweet.
Zhang Fan looked at it secretly, it turned out that ancient people could play so openly, which was really eye-opening.
They hugged briefly for a while, and the young lady of the main family and the young master of the cousin were reluctant to separate, and finally followed back to the hall.
At this point, everyone dispersed in a hurry and went to their own homes.
Seeing this, Zhang Fan didn't say much, and also left with Feng Mumu, but before he could walk back to the residence, he was stopped by the ancient housekeeper, saying that the master was looking for him something.
Helpless, Zhang Fan sighed, and had to return to the same place and walk to the hall.
There were a lot of people in the hall, and almost all of them were here, and they were chatting happily with each other, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.
Seeing Zhang Fan walk in, the master of the master suddenly smiled and said: "You are called Xiaofan, right, today my virtuous son-in-law will come to the door, and then I will ask you to take care of it a lot, go and prepare a sumptuous meal, I will let your ancient housekeeper accompany you to buy ingredients outside, you can show your skills to show your cooking skills!" β
After saying this, the master in charge threw Zhang Fan two gold ingots.
