The guest was in his early thirties, with dark and thick eyebrows, a nose as straight as a peak, and healthy wheat-colored skin, and he looked majestic.

I don't know what the relationship between him and Grandpa Lai is. This is the first time Jiang Mingyue has seen Grandpa Lai so busy, entertaining someone attentively, without even noticing that they are here.

"Are you busy lately?"

"Fortunately!"

"Would you like another glass of water?"

"I've had three drinks."

"Oh, are you hungry?" Grandpa Lai asked again.

"Not hungry!"

Very good, neither thirsty nor hungry. Grandpa Lai smiled happily and suddenly shouted in a loud voice: "Why don't you pay for it!"

Jiang Mingyue paused for a moment. Those who didn't know it thought she had encountered a robber!

She saw that the man's expression suddenly exploded, but she still took out a few banknotes from her arms and handed them to Grandpa Lai.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the two of them with some curiosity as to what their relationship was.

Xie Yuan glanced at the man who was a few years older than him, and then at the old man Lai who was happily counting the banknotes. A dark light flashed in his deep eyes, and he helped his wife walk over.

"Grandpa Lai, how are you doing lately?"

Old man Lai saw them put away the banknotes.

"Hey! The Number One Scholar is here, sit down wherever you want, while your grandma is cooking in the kitchen!"

When Ryan heard this, he looked up at Xie Yuan. It turned out that he was this year's top pick. He looked... well, he had a pretty face. He glanced at Jiang Mingyue politely and then looked away.

Jiang Mingyue knew that these words were meant for her, so she said hello in a soft voice.

"Hello Grandpa Lai! I'm going to help Grandma Lai."

Leaving Xie Yuan and the three of them here to talk, she entered the kitchen by familiar means.

"Grandma Lai, let me help you wash the vegetables." Jiang Mingyue rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

Lai Hua was very happy when Jiang Mingyue and Xie Yuan came. Their house had not been so lively for a long time.

"Sit down quickly, I don't need you."

Then he grabbed a handful of cooked peanuts and handed them to Jiang Mingyue.

"Why are you here today?"

"My husband and I missed you, so we came over."

Jiang Mingyue glanced outside and asked curiously: "Who is that handsome elder brother?"

Jiang Mingyue thought that her voice was very low, but Ryan and Lai sitting outside could hear it clearly.

Lai Hua was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"Handsome brother?"

"Well, is it the one outside?"

Lai Hua glanced outside and confirmed that Xie Yuan and the other three were the only ones outside. She looked at Jiang Mingyue with bright eyes.

"You think he's handsome?"

Jiang Mingyue could tell that she seemed to be very persistent on this issue.

"Well, he looks dignified and majestic, and his whole body seems to be full of explosive power, giving people a very safe feeling.

I don’t know if the eldest brother is married yet. If someone like him were in our place, the matchmakers for him would definitely be lined up from the south to the west of the city. "

Outside, Ryan glanced at Xie Yuan again. Well, his wife has good taste. In thirty-one years of his life, this was the first time he heard someone say that he was good-looking, which made him feel excited.

After hearing this, Lai Hua immediately became energetic. She stopped cooking, moved a small stool and sat next to Jiang Mingyue and asked, "Really?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"Our place is different from other places. There are more children in Jianghu, and they like that big brother."

Lai Hua was instantly shocked.

"Okay! Okay, you people over there are still discerning. I was worried before, but my son was just smashed into my hands."

Since her son was a child, no one around him has said that he is good-looking. Girls here in Kyoto like people like Xie Yuan, so her son has not found a wife until now.

Jiang Mingyue was a little surprised when she heard this: "He is your son?"

"Well, my youngest son is thirty-one years old this year. If he goes to your place, will any girl really like him?"

Jiang Mingyue nodded and said with certainty: "Thirty-one is in the prime of life. As long as the eldest brother is good at martial arts, there will definitely be many people rushing to be his wife."

Lai Hua said "OK" three times before saying, "Don't call me Big Brother. It sounds awkward to me. His last name only has the character An, so you can just call him Brother An."

Jiang Mingyue said obediently: "Okay!"

Lai Hua stretched out her head and said to her son: "Did you hear that? You can go to Yuanjiang Mansion later."

Upon hearing this, Ryan turned his head and looked at Xie Yuan again.

"Is your wife from Yuanjiang Prefecture?"

Xie Yuan, who was talking to Old Man Lai, said gently: "Exactly."

"Where are you from Yuanjiang Prefecture?"

It seems that the Holy Emperor has been paying close attention to the affairs of Yuanjiang Mansion recently.

"People from Yuanjiang Prefecture."

Ryan was shocked when he heard this.

"Can I ask your wife a few words?"

Xie Yuan did not agree but looked at Old Man Lai.

In the kitchen, Jiang Mingyue looked at Lai Huashi with some surprise and asked, "Brother An can hear us?"

"Yes, he is very good at martial arts."

Doesn't that mean she heard everything she just said? Jiang Mingyue suddenly felt a little embarrassed. It's not good to talk behind someone's back.

Lai Hua smiled gently and said, "Don't think too much. If you praise him for looking good, it will be too late for him to be happy and he won't think too much."

Jiang Mingyue smiled: "That's good!"

"Girl, tell me about that girl of yours. I like to hear it, old lady."

Outside, Old Man Lai glared at his son angrily.

"Why are you asking? You are here to eat, not to work."

He paused and looked at Xie Yuan and said, "He is my youngest son, his name is Ryan, and he is not an outsider."

Xie Yuan's heart was slightly shocked. It turned out to be Ryan, the commander of the secret guards, the Holy One's personal bodyguard, and the most valued person by the Holy One.

"I wonder what Brother An wants to ask?"

"I just want to ask my siblings about some local things in Yuanjiang Mansion. I have no other purpose." Ryan was still a wife in the first sentence, and became a younger brother and sister in the next sentence, using this to bring them closer.

Xie Yuan finally nodded.

Ryan saw Xie Yuan go into the kitchen to call for people, sat down next to his father and asked in a low voice: "How did you and your mother know this champion?"

Old man Lai knew that if he didn't tell his son clearly, he might not feel at ease.

"He is a close disciple of old guy Shen Mo and can be trusted."

Ryan was slightly shocked when he heard this. He never thought that Xie Yuan had such an identity. Even the Holy Emperor didn't know about it.

"Does he know your identities?"

Old man Lai shook his head.

"Shen Mo once told me, but he never told Xie Yuan."

"Then did he guess it?"

Old Man Lai thought for a while and said, "He should have guessed that I have some connections in the military. When we got married last year, he asked me for two people."

Ryan saw the two people coming out and said no more.

Xie Yuan supported his wife while walking and said, "Brother An is very interested in local affairs in Yuanjiang Prefecture and wants to know something about you."

As Xie Yuan spoke, he wrote a few words on the back of his wife's hand through his clothes.

Jiang Mingyue's eyes flashed and she raised her head and smiled gently at her husband.

"I see!"

Seeing that his wife understood what he meant, Xie Yuan felt relieved.

After a few breaths, Xie Yuan helped his wife sit down opposite Ryan.

Ryan looked at the frail little woman with a gentle face, and his voice was much gentler when he spoke, fearing to scare her. After all, this was the first person to compliment him on his good looks.
