Da'an's best son-in-law

The autumn sun rises a little later. As soon as it gets bright, Ye Chen has already gone out to exercise. These days, he has never missed the opportunity to exercise. Squats, leapfrogs, push-ups. After completing a set of movements, Ye Chen was already out of breath. This body was a bit weaker than he thought. With his previous physical fitness, it would not be difficult to complete these movements. Lian'er, this girl, got up earlier. Every morning, he wakes up one step faster than Ye Chen. While sweeping the yard with a broom, he secretly glances at Ye Chen who is exercising. Several times, Ye Chen smiled and invited her to exercise together, but the little girl shook her head and refused every time. After cleaning, she sat on the steps of the yard and looked at him quietly with her cheeks in her hands. Turning his head, Ye Chen smiled and looked at Lian'er next to him, "How are you? Have you figured out where to go today?" Jizhou City is Da'an's second largest city in the Jiangnan region. Its prosperity and area are second only to Jinling. So these days, even if Lian'er took him around almost every day, she could barely complete the tour of the Wei family. The little girl had some shadows because of what happened last time. As soon as she saw the Fengyue place, she would directly pull Ye Chen away without any discussion. Lian'er shook her head gently, "Not today, uncle." "Why not?" "Miss was afraid that you would be bored in the Wei family with nothing to do every day, so she asked the third master to find some errands for you." After hearing Lian'er's words, Ye Chen didn't feel too surprised. For the Wei family, he was just a reason for Wei Yanran to stay in the Wei family without getting married. If you have been content with the status quo and happy to enjoy it, the Wei family will also be happy to see it. But for Wei Yanran, it was different. Her gaffe yesterday may have made her realize something, so she asked her father to arrange errands for her. Was this because she wanted to involve herself? The job of teaching at the Songyue Academy of the Wei family, the job of accounting at a shop on Yuma Street, and the job of working as a steward at Wei Yanran's silk and satin shop. After thinking about it for a while, Ye Chen decided to take up teaching. Songyue Academy is also a school set up by the Wei family. Professor Song Taiyan, Ye Chen's teacher, spends most of his time on weekdays. However, after all, the old gentleman has many disciples. Recently, there is a poetry meeting, and more and more people are asking for advice. Therefore, I cannot spare much time to teach here. The reason why the third master of the Wei family wanted Ye Chen to teach had another meaning. Because of his status as a son-in-law, his status in the Wei family is quite low. If there is a real fight within the family in the future, then Ye Chen is the best way for other families to deal with Wei Yanran, just throw some dirty water. If Ye Chen is good at teaching and has some prestige among the younger generations of the Wei family, then his status will not be so low in the future. Seeing that Ye Chen agreed to this errand, Lian'er went to the kitchen to prepare the morning meal. At this time, the sky has completely brightened up, and the warm sunshine is shining in the courtyard, making people feel warm all over. Ye Chen stretched out, and Wei Yanran just finished dressing and went downstairs. Due to the irregular rest time every day, the former wakes up sometimes early and sometimes late. When Ye Chen was exercising, he could occasionally see the candlelight on the second floor reflecting on the window screen as the silhouette of Wei Yanran dressing up in the mirror. Seeing Ye Chen, Wei Yanran smiled slightly and said hello softly, "Good morning, husband" and "Good morning, madam." They exchanged a few words and went to the small room opposite the small attic to wait for breakfast. In Wei Yanran's small courtyard, the small attic is the residence of Ye Chen and his wife. Opposite the attic is a row of small wooden houses, which are the residences of Lian'er and Xiao Xing, as well as the kitchen and dining room. The Wei family has a large kitchen with a dedicated cook, and most of the people in the Wei family's rooms have their meals there. But because Wei Yanran had to rush to the silk shop every time, she didn't have breakfast in the Wei family's big kitchen. Ye Chen was also happy about this. On the surface, the Wei family was in harmony, but he really didn't like the smiley atmosphere during the dinner. While waiting for breakfast, Wei Yanran would usually take out the account books that had not been checked last night and review them quietly there. Ye Chen didn't bother the latter and spent most of his time in the kitchen watching Lian'er's work. Maybe it was just for the four of them to eat. The kitchen was not big, but it was fully equipped. The stove was steaming, and the wooden barrel next to it was boiling water. Lian'er's movements were very agile. She was cooking rice here and taking care of the hot water in the bucket. Sometimes Ye Chen saw that she was too busy, so he took the initiative to light the fire and filled the firewood under the stove. This kind of behavior often makes Lian'er at a loss. Occasionally, Wei Yanran came over and saw him. During the meal, she whispered to him, "Husband, you don't have to do this." Lian'er lowered her head, as if she had done something wrong. Ye Chen just smiled and didn't explain anything. Maybe we will live like this for many years, and he will not do taboo things. As for these little habits, he will get used to them as time goes by. Looking at the eggs churning in the pot with hot water and Lian'er cutting pastries next to him, Ye Chen smiled. This life seemed pretty good. Wei Yanran and Lian'er both have small appetites. Each of them only eats about one egg and one pastry every morning. Considering that Ye Chen's appetite was larger, Wei Yanran specially ordered Lian'er to cook more meals every day. When Lian'er took out the eggs and poured out the hot water, she found that one was missing. When she was about to put it back in its place and cook it tomorrow, she was stopped by Ye Chen. Wei Yanran's taste is light, but after these days of boiled eggs, he is really tired of it and wants to fry one himself for a change. After telling Lian'er about her thoughts, the latter shook her head and tightly protected the stove behind her. "The young lady said, you are my uncle and I will never let you work." Ye Chen looked at the latter with a smile, and Lian'er almost thought Wei Yanran's words were an imperial edict. After much persuasion for a long time, they finally agreed that speculation was okay, but Ye Chen had to explain clearly to Lian'er that he wanted to try it out for fun, not that the latter wanted him to work. With Lian'er's permission, Ye Chen took advantage of the remaining fire on the stove and poured some oil to heat it. Then he gently smashed the eggs on the edge of the stove and poured them in. Sprinkled some salt and chopped green onion and started to stir. saute. Finally, under Lian'er's curious eyes, Ye Chen's scrambled eggs were finally served. He knew nothing about cooking, but he was very knowledgeable about this dish because he had cooked it so many times in his previous life. Sure enough, while eating, Wei Yanran still asked about this special-looking dish. "Lian'er, you did this?" "No, it's not me...it's my uncle." Wei Yanran frowned, with a hint of reproach in her words, "Didn't I tell you not to let your uncle work?" Like Works such as making fires and cooking were all done by the maid. Ye Chen was her nominal husband, so naturally she didn't want to see the latter do these things. Looking at Lian'er who had her head buried and feeling aggrieved, Ye Chen quickly explained, "I don't blame Lian'er. I did it for fun. Madam, you can also have a taste." Hearing this, Wei Yanran was stunned for a moment, but remained calm. He nodded slightly and picked up a piece. She didn't think Ye Chen's cooking skills were very good, but now that the latter had spoken, she still had to give him face. It was gently put into her mouth, but it had a very special taste, which made her nod lightly, "I didn't expect my uncle's cooking skills to be so good." Although Ye Chen's scrambled eggs also contained oil, they also added some chopped green onion. In addition, the heat is well controlled and there is no greasy feeling. "No way, madam, you are so impressed." As he said this, Ye Chen invited Lian'er and Xiao Xing to come and have a try. Seeing the two people praising it, Ye Chen laughed a little. The Da'an Dynasty regarded men's cooking as a shame, so what kind of "sexy and cunning tricks he used to please women and children?"
