Chapter 2: Passing on the Jade and Handing Xiao Qing for Life (4)
Early in the morning, the morning sun shone on the two people in front of the door, "Big brother, little brother has to go home today, it's been a day and a night, my father must be in a hurry, and I can't accompany my eldest brother today." Miao Ruolan said in a low mood.
"Brother Miao Xian, isn't it easy for you and me to meet, if Brother Xian wants to meet with Brother Wei, Brother Wei will go back to Kaifeng Mansion first, although it is a holiday, but I am afraid that something will happen to the adults, and I will go to you after nothing happens, how about we get together again." Zhan Zhao comforted.
"Big brother, this is what you said, you can't go back, the younger brother is waiting for the eldest brother at home. With that, he got into the carriage with a smile on his face.
Zhan Zhao shook his head amusedly, this Miao Xian brother is sometimes like a child.
"Say, where have you not returned for a day and a night? You are so disrespectful, look at what you are wearing, do you still look like a girl? Can't you read and write at home like a lady? You want me to say what is good about you, you, you ......" Miao Shaofu looked at the daughter in front of him dressed as a man, and his hands trembled with anger, and he couldn't speak.
"Master, Ruolan is still young, she is wrong, you can say it well, why do you lose your temper so much. Mrs. Miao earnestly reproached Mrs. Miao.
"Dad, is my daughter too bored at home. The things you said would have been known a long time ago. Miao Ruolan lowered her head and muttered.
"You, look at her, how can you have a little remorse, you protect her all day long, you are really a loving mother and a failure, from now on you are not allowed to go anywhere, honestly stay at home and think about it behind closed doors for me. Old Man Miao's mouth trembled.
"Ahh Miao Ruolan was about to defend when she saw Miao Shaofu's eyes, and immediately changed her words.
"Hmph" Old Man Miao flicked his sleeves and walked out of the embroidery building, leaving Miao Ruolan naturally coquettish with her mother.
"Master, master" came an urgent cry.
"What's the matter, what kind of system is it called. Old Man Miao reprimanded his subordinates.
"Master, there is a son outside the door who said that he was looking for our family...... Master. The man said cautiously, the old man has been hot-tempered recently, and I don't know what happened to the young lady.
"What? Hmph, I'd like to see who she's made of. Miao Shaofu said and came to the door.
"Are you...... Lord Zhan: "Miao Shaofu was about to question, but recognized it as Kaifeng Mansion Zhanzhao.
It's just that Master Miao will give alms to the city every time there is a famine, so he is more familiar with the people in Kaifeng Mansion.
"It turned out to be Miao Dashan, this is your mansion?" Zhan Zhao also asked in surprise.
"Exactly, quick, please come in. As he spoke, he let Zhanzhao into the living room.
"Why is Lord Zhan here today?" asked Old Man Miao.
"I'm here to find Ling Lang, we made an appointment this morning, I'm here to find him. Zhan Zhao explained.
"You have made an appointment this morning, so you say it...... Er was with Zhan last night. Master Miao was so surprised that he almost missed his mouth.
"Exactly, yesterday I had a very happy conversation with Brother Miao Xian in Youlan Pavilion, I forgot the time, Brother Miao Xian left me there for the night, this morning because I was worried about Lord Bao, so I went back to Kaifeng Mansion, and I came here to find him if there was nothing to do. Zhan Zhao explained.
"Oh, if I had known this earlier, I would have been relieved, hey, Xiao'er didn't return overnight, I'm afraid that she will learn badly from others, so I scolded her this morning and told her to think about it behind closed doors. I knew that I was with Zhan Daren, so I was relieved. Master Miao said with a smile.
"Outside of Miao Yuan, I have a relationship with Brother Miao Xian, so you can call him Zhanzhao as me. ”
"Well, I think so, you just call me Shibo, I call you a good nephew, and we don't have to be polite. How?" Old Man Miao is very happy now, he can see that although Zhanzhao doesn't know that Ruolan is daughter, his relationship with Ruolan is not ordinary, otherwise can the dignified four-rank guards go to my flat-headed people's house to find someone? If it can make him and Ruolan a good thing, it would be a good thing.
"Zhan Zhao has transgressed, Shibo. Zhan Zhao said generously.
"Okay, good, it's rare for you to come here, come here, set up a banquet, and have a good drink with your nephew today. Old man Miao said and whispered a few words to Miao Lu, the housekeeper behind him, and Miao Lu left in response.
Master Miao and Zhan Zhao walked into the garden pavilion together, and the banquet was set up on the table, and Zhan Zhao and Master Miao just took their seats, "Master, Mrs. and Miss have arrived." Miao Lu bowed his head and replied.
"Well, Madame, please take your seat. Master Miao commanded.
"Master, this is ......," Mrs. Miao asked.
"Oh, this is Lord Zhan Zhaozhan, the four-rank sword guard of Kaifeng Mansion, and our son is a friend. "Old man Miao deliberately accentuated the words of our son.
"Oh, it's Zhan-sama. Mrs. Miao looked at Zhanzhao as she spoke.
"Don't dare aunt, just call me Zhanzhao. Zhan Zhao stood up and saluted.
Mrs. Miao happily looked Zhanzhao up and down, as if her mother-in-law was looking at her son-in-law.
"Dad" Miao Ruolan stepped forward and gave Master Miao a salute.
"Get up, I haven't seen you Brother Zhan yet. Master Miao waved his hand at Zhanzhao.
"Brother Zhan" Miao Ruolan gave Zhanzhao another salute.
"Don't dare Miss Miao please ......" The moment Miao Ruolan got up, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, how could this Miss Miao look so similar to Brother Miao Xian, as if she was a person.
"Miao Wen and I are twin brothers and sisters, so we look similar, which scares Brother Zhan. Miao Ruolan said with a smile.
"I see, there are really no wonders in the world, and it is the first time I have seen the dragon and phoenix twins grow so similar. Zhan Zhaoqi said.
"Come on, let's sit together, Ruolan, let's sit together. Old Man Miao hurriedly played the round.
"Dad, the wine that the child just brewed has become, and today I specially brought it to Dad and Brother Zhan to taste. As she spoke, she turned around and took a wine jar from the maid's hand, but the maid was not Zhu'er, Miao Ruolan was afraid that if Zhu'er came, she would wear it.
Miao Ruolan poured a cup for Master Miao and Zhan Zhao, "Dad, Brother Zhan, how about you taste it?"
The moment the wine flowed out of the jar, Zhanzhao smelled a wine aroma unlike any other. Look at the wine in the cup again, it is clear to the bottom, not as turbid as other wines, the entrance is soft, but the throat is hot and spicy like fire, until it burns to the stomach, and the strength of the wine is much greater than that of ordinary wine.
"I didn't expect Miss Miao to be so good at making such good wine. Zhan Zhao praised sincerely.
Zhanzhao didn't know that this wine was made by Miao Ruolan using dark blue's winemaking technology, and it was also an important source of income for the Miao family's business.
"Hehe, my daughter brews good wine, cooks good dishes, embroiders good female workers, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and is really better than ten sons. Whoever wants to marry her is blessed. Old Man Miao said proudly.
"Dad, what nonsense are you talking about, and you are not afraid of Brother Zhan's jokes. Miao Ruolan said shyly.
"I have long heard that the eldest lady of Kaifeng Miao Mansion can read and write at the age of three and become a poem at the age of five. But it's the first time I've heard that Shibo has a son. Speaking of which, why don't you see Brother Miao Xian?" Zhan Zhao wondered.
"Ah, Wen'er was grounded by me, and I thought about it behind closed doors, recently, he was really playing badly, and the books he asked him to learn were also thrown aside, and he was really mistaken without teaching him a lesson. As for the outside world, I haven't heard of this son, but because he is young, I am afraid that he will make friends outside carelessly and go astray, so I try to keep him at home to study and not let him go outside, so the outside world knows a lot. Old Man Miao thought to himself, this lie is really not good.
"Brother Zhan, don't call me Miss Miao, you and my brother are close friends, we are a family, my brother calls me Lan Mei at home, Brother Zhan, you call me that. Miao Ruolan took the opportunity to say.
Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Okay, then I'll call you Sister Lan." Shibo, Arwen is a boy, it is not a way to be locked up at home, if you can trust Zhanzhao, ask him to be with me, I promise not to let him go astray. ”
"Then of course I don't worry, well, nephew, how old are you this year. Old Man Miao asked.
"My little nephew is eighteen years old this year. ”
"Have you ever had a wife?"
"No home yet"
"Well, have you ever been married. ”
"I have never been married"
"Okay, good, hahaha......" Old man Miao was very happy, how pleasing this son-in-law looked, if he and Ruolan could succeed, he would be relieved.
