Mr. Minguo's kitchen

Lin Weirui hugged the quilt and struggled to death, threw the pillow at the troublemaker without looking at it, then pulled the quilt over her head and continued to sleep.

Ye Honghu looked at him almost dotingly, sat on the bed with the quilt in his arms and sat on his lap, "Who told me to call him before dawn yesterday, saying that I was going to pick matsutake? Why don't you sleep on your bed?" , let me carry you away?" Ye Honghu was eager to try, he had long wanted to try again and take Ren Tuanba Tuanba away with him.He is hoping that people will not wake up, so that he can act like a flower-picking thief.

Lin Weirui still didn't open his eyes. He leaned against the person's chest and whispered: "Shut up, let me squint for another 10 minutes."

Ye Honghu obeyed him, "OK", then hugged the person and started staring at the grandfather clock by the wall, happily planning to wait 10 minutes before starting to implement various small theaters in his mind.

Unfortunately, 10 minutes later, Lin Weirui opened his eyes on time, pushed away the people who came up to him and got out of bed, quickly washed and changed into clothes suitable for going into the mountains. With hot eyes, he lay on his back like a big koala, put his head on his shoulders, wrapped his hands around the slender waist to measure the beautiful texture, but said in his mouth dissatisfied: "We eat like cats on weekdays, no wonder So thin. You still think I'm annoying to stare at you for dinner, so I'll go to the mountain to catch a hare and roast it for you to eat at night..."

Lin Weirui buttoned up her sleeves in front of the mirror, and pushed back her elbows. Ye Honghu let go of him, and the other party retorted plausibly: "I eat fine food. I think everyone is like you. I'm picky eater. No meat, no joy?" Although the words in his mouth were not nice, but this kind of squabbling was as beautiful as yesterday's dream.

The early morning on the mountain was damp and cold, Ye Honghu took off his army jacket and put it on for him, the two of them rode a tall black horse together, Lin Weirui was hugged in front of him, the mountain was empty, and the faint lights below the mountain could be seen faintly.Before the sun came out, the morning exercises in the barracks had already started, and the sound of orderly roars came from down the mountain.

"Want to learn to ride a horse?"

"In the future." Lin Weirui said lazily.

"Okay, I'll teach you when you want to learn."

Halfway there, a black shadow jumped out of the jungle and bumped into the horse's leg, which startled people. Only when they got closer did they realize that it was a foolish hare.This horse was even more strange, it was very frightened, the horse even raised its foot and poked the rabbit, leaving two horseshoe marks on the white-haired rabbit.The rabbit was so frightened that it trembled and couldn't move on the road, and was caught by Jiang Kun who was following him in a daze.

Is this waiting for the rabbit?Lin Weirui wanted to laugh a little.This rabbit is really stupid.The horse seemed to feel his mood, turned its head, and rubbed Lin Weirui's calf with its dark horse face, making a loud noise from its nose.

Lin Weirui touched the mane tentatively, and said hesitantly, "Is it asking for credit?"

Ye Honghu and all his subordinates couldn't help laughing. Ye Honghu had discovered before that his wife was too much an animal.Just look at the three-tailed fat-headed koi that Feng Lai only eats in the house.

Ye Honghu was also serious: "Well, it probably means that you should skin this rabbit and make meat to make it fatter."

Lin Weirui rolled her eyes gracefully, "Can't you see that Brother Fourth also understands animal language?" He saw that the horse's whole body was so black that it shone brightly, and its blackness was thicker than the night. It is long and curly, even from the perspective of human aesthetics, it can be said to be handsome and handsome. I can't help but like it a little bit, "What's its name?"

Ye Honghu said casually: "Bai Mian." Bai Mian listened to his master calling it, and responded by blowing air from his nose.

Lin Weirui: ...

He leaned down and touched the white noodles sympathetically, "It's hard for you." Such an unreliable owner at the stall.

Baimian didn't feel aggrieved, it was shaken by being touched, and decided to show its ability in front of this human being exuding a good smell. With a long howl, Sa Yazi started to run.A group of people went up to the top of the mountain like this.

There is a gray halo in the sky in the distance, and the sea is blue so thick that it is close to ink. It seems that something is brewing in the sky, and something is waiting to jump out.A pre-dawn depression spread across the entire sea.

Ye Honghu pulled the horse rope, and without any buffer, Baimian raised his front hoof and stopped firmly on the top of the mountain.Jiang Kun and the other guards held the reins and stood far behind, tactfully not disturbing the two people on the top of the mountain.

"On the day my father passed away, I came here for the first time, and that time I thought, I want to show you here." At that time, he didn't know that one day, with God's mercy, this person would appear in this place. world.

As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped out of the gray halo that was pregnant with primordial origin, and a round of red sun emerged. At that moment, the whole world was lit up in a ring shape, and the first light shone on the sea surface closest to the horizon. On the sky, the bright golden sea came into view.

Lin Weirui seemed to have sensed something, turned around, and fell into a pair of eyes sprinkled with gold. There were many things hidden in those eyes, and they were hidden very deeply. He hated it before, but at this moment he didn't want to care about it. The person who watched him from the beginning to the end smiled, "Thank you, it's beautiful." Thank you for showing me, the sunrise is beautiful.

The sun gradually rises to the surface of the sea, and the whole sea is covered with gold.The waves hit the reef, making a rumbling sound like a horn.

The two watched the sea quietly for a while, and Lin Weirui suddenly said, "Fourth brother, the year of Jiayin is coming. What are you going to do?"

Ye Honghu smiled, "When they started biting dogs, I just took over the land in the back garden of my house to make a vegetable garden for you. If my daughter-in-law thinks it's not enough, I'll expand the back garden further. As for the group of people at home The boss who made a fuss about dividing the family property will be cleaned up one by one, anyway, the one who made the most noise will not live long. Help the obedient one who is not noisy at all to sit up and make money first. Daughter-in-law, do you think it is okay?"

Feeling the cool wind on the top of the mountain, Lin Weirui squinted her eyes, "What's the use of me saying yes? I'm not as omniscient as you are."

Ye Honghu shook his head, "How come, you sent people like Fein to me, the plastic revolution brought by polyethylene, and the DDT that is being researched, I know my wife loves me the most!"

Lin Weirui: "Sometimes I really doubt that you lived here in the first place, instead of coming here through time travel like me. You are too familiar with all this, and you don't have any sense of disobedience with this world. I don't have a sense of mission. And what you seem to have is not a positive thing like a sense of mission, but a stronger emotion, I don't know what you want to do, so sometimes I think Ye Honghu is scary." He said slowly Long words, and then asked softly: "Can you tell me what your previous name was?" He asked the name of his previous life, because as far as he knew, there was no close person named Ye Honghu around him, and Ye Honghu Honghu is too familiar with everything about him.Unless Ye Honghu was a perverted idiot who stalked people in his previous life - as if he is now.

Ye Honghu put all the importance on his daughter-in-law, stopped his nose at the collarbone, and took a deep sniff.Lin Weirui flinched from being itched by his rubbing.Then there was a stabbing pain at the collarbone——

"Hiss... Ye Honghu, do you belong to a dog?" He touched his collarbone where the teeth marks had been bitten out, and then the person who leaned lazily on his shoulder smiled softly, "No, I belong to the forest."

I really didn't see it.Jiang Kun and the others felt that the sun that had just risen was not as blinding as the two of them.

"Want to know who I am? Guess, I'll tell you everything if I guess right, and if I guess wrong," Ye Honghu leaned into his ear and whispered something.Lin Weirui glared at him angrily, this man is really...shameful!

Lin Weirui felt that he hadn't woken up today, so he talked with him earnestly, but Ye Honghu felt that the bet just now was very interesting. To be precise, he was particularly interested in the bet that Lin Weirui lost. He coaxed: " If you win and want to know anything, I will tell you."

Lin Weirui really wanted to know, he had an intuition that this was something very important to him, so even though the terms of losing were ridiculous, he hesitated for a while and agreed.But he is not stupid, "You have to give me some hints."

Ye Honghu agreed very generously.

After watching the sunrise, the two of them finally got down to business when they went down the mountain. In the forest where only a little light came in, the air was so humid that water could condense. In such an environment, it was easy to breed the essence of the earth, blossoming Matsutake the size of a child's palm emerges from the soil, stained with fresh dew and grassy soil.One of the people who brought them was a local soldier who often went up the mountain to play on weekdays. He knew exactly where these little things would appear. The matsutake that I have saved for more than half a month is here.It's also a disaster for no reason, who you look so delicious.

The sun was gradually rising, and while the sun was still not shining, a group of people headed back home.The black horse ran nimbly in the forest. It was obviously a well-trained war horse that followed its owner through many mountains and rivers.

On the way, Ye Honghu asked, "Did that kid Yu Zuotang send you an invitation a few days ago?"

Lin Weirui yawned delicately and nodded, "You Li said that there is an interesting cooking competition in Peking. I have been here for several years, and I haven't seen any cooking competition here."

Ye Honghu was sour, "He told you to go right away. You didn't agree when I asked you to come to Fengtian, and you finally got you here while you were asleep."

Lin Weirui snorted, "Everyone can see that you have evil intentions. I've been here for so long, should you let me go?"

Ye Honghu had settled the ups and downs outside a long time ago, and now a lot of people outside are queuing up to see the famous Mr. Lin, but he is fine, he can't help but tie people here, coaxing rare ingredients every day.Lin Weirui has eaten anglerfish three times, and it is no longer a novelty.

"Let Wu Wen send you back today. Those who go back to meet will meet, and those who don't like it will be ignored."

Lin Weirui was suspicious: "What did you do while I was away?" He hadn't read any newspapers during this time.

Ye Honghu chuckled, looking very honest and honest.Young Master Lin wanted to hit someone, what did this guy do!

"You can go to Peking, but we have three chapters..."

Back at the training camp at the foot of the mountain, Lin Weirui washed the fresh matsutake in the river water to wash the soil, then cut it in half, brushed oil on both sides, put it on an iron plate and grilled it with charcoal. The curled matsutake will exude a kind of musk, put it in the mouth, it is the freshest mountain delicacy tasted on the tip of the tongue for the first time.Before MSG appeared, it was said to be the freshest thing in natural ingredients.

Matsutake soup is also another delicacy. Dried scallops, ham and lean meat, plus a few pieces of bracken with night dew just dug from the mountains, combined with the clear soup obtained from matsutake, can make the tip of the tongue linger.

After drinking the hot soup and roasted matsutake, the two fought back and forth for [-] rounds. Finally, Lin Weirui brought a lot of ingredients and was sent away like an ancestor.

Wu Mian looked at the vehicles going away, and suddenly remembered something, "Marshal, if Madam goes to Peiping this trip, I'm afraid I will meet his biological mother."

Ye Honghu's smile on his wife has long been known. He actually sent someone to investigate Lin Weirui's biological mother, Liang Yingdie, but because he was afraid of affecting his wife's mood, he didn't tell him about these things, but Thinking about it being inevitable this time, "Send him the previous information." As for what choice his little Wei Rui would make, he believed him.

There is a phoenix to live——

"I'm really sorry, the box you want to reserve was already full yesterday, if you make an appointment now, it will probably only be in half a month's time." Zeng Baiyu said to the guest in front of him with a smile.

As soon as the guest heard this, he was about to get angry, when he saw a foolish voice behind him, "Reserve a private room, anywhere you want, the sooner you want to invite people, the better!" When Zeng Baiyu saw it was this gentleman , the smile in his eyes was a little sincere, and he greeted him: "Hey, Lord Baylor is here again. If you want, I will leave you the Yishuo Pavilion by the window. Although the wing room is a bit small, there is nothing in it." It’s missing, and the scenery is good, you can also see the scenery on the edge of the Baihe River, listen to me, it’s the best for entertaining friends!”

The young man called Lord Baylor was dressed in brocade robes, wearing a melon skin hat inlaid with emeralds, holding a birdcage in one hand, and a fan in the other hand. Let's go! I'll come in three days, make sure the noodles are ready, my friend has everything he needs, delicacies from mountains and seas, from snacks to big ones, let's get some novelty."

Zeng Baiyu asked the steward below to write it down one by one, and then sent the God of Wealth away with a good voice after receiving the deposit.He looked back at the aggrieved guest just now, and sure enough, he restrained his temper.Even Lord Baylor, who is deeply hidden by his ancestors, has to make appointments according to the rules. Where does he have the face to let people give way to someone with such wealth?

The guest room that this guest wants to book is the best room in the hotel, and the people who book it are all the people who are in the queue.A few days ago, because of the news about the newspapers, some people who stepped on the low and bought the high canceled many orders. However, after the news from "Minbao" and "Ta Kung Pao", Youfenglaiju has resumed its former bustling with full of customers, even It was even better than the busiest time, the daily diners almost broke through the threshold, and the most of them were those who wanted to poach someone or talk to Lin Weirui about business.

Zeng Baiyu is a businessman, even if others have made trouble in the past, but business is not done there, as long as they are paying customers, they are naturally welcome, but the treatment is not as good as before.

He sent someone away, was looking at the account book, when he turned around, he saw that his boss, who had disappeared for a week, finally appeared!

"Young master! You are back!" Zeng Baiyu went up to greet him with enthusiasm.His attitude is more respectful than before, not to say that he was not respectful before, but since he knew his boss's achievements in food, he looked at him like a god in the sky!It's almost like those peasants holding the rankings and offering them up!

"Is everything okay in the hotel during my absence?"

Zeng Baiyu explained everything in detail. Hearing the slander and the subsequent reversal, Lin Weirui frowned, and asked someone to take away the newspapers from the past few days after he left.

Goosebumps arose when I saw the news reports that wished to boast about myself as the savior.Ye Honghu set up a white lotus figure for him while he was not around? !It's really disgusting.

But he also knew why this person sent him out of the city for so many days. Lin Weirui touched the book that was stuffed in his pocket before he left, and suddenly he didn't feel that the person's request before he left was annoying.

Zeng Baiyu looked at the young master's face from the side, and said in deliberation: "There are a lot of people coming to visit you in the past few days. This is the list of visitors. Do you see it or not?"

Lin Weirui flipped through it uninterestedly, and there were more than 100 people written on it, all of which were already screened and worth seeing.But Lin Weirui doesn't think that he has really become a sweet potato. Everyone knows the truth of the crime of conceiving a jade. He thought about it, and whoever caused him troubles can be solved by whoever caused him, so he handed over the brochure. Throwing it to Wu Wen who followed behind him, "Xiao Wen will give this to your commander, and just say that he will make up for what he revealed."

Lin Weirui went to the back kitchen, tested the skills of the nephews and nephews, and found that even a few newly recruited people had made rapid progress, and they were very satisfied with the salary increase, and then announced that they would go to the Peking University The return date of the cooking competition is uncertain, and I hope they will continue to keep the news. Xiaobao was the first to jump up and shouted: "Master, please take me! I can carry your luggage and cook for you, and I can also sing you a little song to relieve boredom! I am useful!"

Lin Weirui glanced at him, and he didn't dare to be a monster anymore, and the uncle's eyes seemed to be sharper.With a big backstage, Young Master Lin became even more imposing. He glared at Xiao Bao who was troubled, and said in a daze when he saw him, "Xiao Bao and Lao Wu are going with me this time. They have stayed in Fengtian for a long time. There are more and more capable people, and it’s time to open a new store. So you won’t fight.”

The meaning revealed in his words made everyone else's eyes light up. What he meant was that he took people to investigate when he went out this time, and he will open a branch in Beiping in the future and bring a wave of people here.For a long time, the head chefs have been Dabao and Xiaobao. These two were the first to follow Lin Weirui. Besides the highest qualifications, they also have the highest skills. Naturally, everyone is not unconvinced under their leadership, but in this way, those People who have also practiced top cooking skills can only be inferior to them, and there is not much room for them to develop.It's okay that the days are short, but when the days are long, it is inevitable that some people will feel dissatisfied and even change jobs.

Lin Weirui can solve this problem well by training people in this way and then sending them to other regions to open up markets.Not only have a good future, but also do not have to do something treacherous, the big guys are actually quite excited.Even if it is not selected this time, but with the momentum and strength of Fenglaiju, it may open how many branches in the future. As long as everyone is serious and diligent, there will be a chance to succeed.

The old Wu who was named together with Xiaobao just now is the most diligent and talented young man besides the two of them. Lin Weirui saw the eyes of these people, and then nodded secretly in his heart, ambitious Very good, he doesn't like it if he is not ambitious.

Zeng Baiyu took the account book and asked someone to leave. The eldest and youngest were away, and there were a lot of backlogs, all of which he had to go through personally.He finished reporting one by one, and then he talked about the table that Lord Baylor ordered today, and hurriedly asked the young master for instructions.

Lin Weirui also found it a bit interesting to hear it. Naturally, the food in their restaurant can be prepared, but according to the opinion of this royal family member, it is estimated that they have to serve some tacky folk home-cooked dishes.

Since it is home-cooked food that people have never eaten before, Lin Weirui suddenly thought of a dish, but the ingredients are a bit difficult to get at this time, he turned his head and asked: "Fengtian sells that kind of black lacquer made by Americans, will it be delicious?" Bubbling soda?"

Zeng Baiyu thought for a while, and then he was a little uncertain: "Master, you mean the 'tadpoles eat wax' soda?"

Lin Weirui: What kind of disgusting name is this?

But the homonym sounded a bit like, "Go and buy two bottles and I'll have a look."

Zeng Baiyu asked a waiter to go, and the waiter ran for more than a dozen streets to buy this foreigner's thing with a strange name.This thing is dark and looks like traditional Chinese medicine. The local businessman originally bought it from foreigners in the name of hunting, but because of the strange name, strange color and expensive price, no one drinks it. .When you see someone coming to buy it, you can sell it vigorously.The waiter finally came back with two bottles of soda.Seeing the familiar red bottle, Lin Weirui knew it was the right thing.

He personally cooked a very simple cola chicken wing. The recipe is very homely. Even Gusu can understand it after reading it. It is strange that the sauce red chicken wings look a bit shredded and sticky black on this special soda. The soda has been boiled and has become a red sauce with sugar.

"Try all of them." As Lin Weirui spoke, more than a dozen hands moved at the same time, and half of them grabbed it and started nibbling gloatingly.The taste of the sweet chicken wings is more tender than the usual method, and after being soaked in the soda water, the chicken wings have a peculiar taste, and the flavor is very peculiar.Such a dish, I guarantee that Lord Baylor and his friends have never eaten it. The people in this kitchen are probably the first group of people in the world to eat Coca-Cola Chicken Wings!

------------

Yuan Xiaolan had a dream all night, and he woke up with a bad complexion, but because there was a performance today, he also got up on time, as usual, he went to Fenglaiju to drink a bowl of mandarin duck soup.When he performed on stage, in order to make his voice bright enough, he would pay attention to eating something light. He used to like to eat plain porridge with sugar, but later Fenglaiju's mandarin duck soup became his favorite.

Blue-glazed sea bowl, half is green bean paste spinach, half is powdered ham and minced chicken. When cooking, it is separated by a special copper sheet, and the copper sheet is taken out when it is ready to be served. The porridge of these two colors Because of the oil, it can't be mixed together, and it turned into a Tai Chi shape, which is beautiful and delicious.Yuan Xiaolan had to order every time, the waiter was already familiar with Mr. Yuan's habits, seeing him coming, he served mandarin duck soup as usual, and arranged a quiet place for him.Originally, I wanted to arrange for someone to enter the box - this master is a rare friend of the elders, and he has no choice but to take care of him. Unfortunately, Mr. Yuan is a master who doesn't want to trouble people, so he refuses his kindness every time.

Qianyuan Street is bustling with activity in the early morning, and there are so many diners rushing to have breakfast in Fenglaiju.Where there are many people, there will naturally be gossip, even for people with high status.While drinking porridge, Yuan Xiaolan squinted her eyes to let the gentle eyes from outside shine on her body, she just felt that she was in a better mood.Some voices of other people's conversations were inevitably heard in my ears.

"Hey, have you heard that something happened to the Chen family from Beiping to Fengtian..."

"What can happen? How do you know everything?" The companion disliked him.

The person at the beginning said in a hurry: "This time it's really not a small matter. I live next door to them, and I heard from their manager that there was something wrong with the goods delivered by the young master of the Chen family a few days ago." He paused, and then He whispered: "Hey, you also know that if there are some smuggled things in the goods, as long as a little is guaranteed to make more money than a large number of goods. The Chen family is also unlucky, just happened to be investigated Come out, but fortunately that land is the territory of their relatives, and the cousin who lives in Chen's house sent something to the house to make this matter go away, or the only single seedling of the Chen family probably They should all go to jail."

"What's so strange about this, you've been talking about it for a long time and it's not a clichéd story!"

"What's the hurry? It's not over yet. The young master of the Chen family owed him such a big favor, so he has to pay it back. I heard that after the old lady of the Chen family brought him back yesterday, she was going to marry him to that cousin. Oh, I heard that Mrs. Chen's health is not very good recently, so she wanted to make a big deal as soon as possible, so that she was very happy. Guess what? The young master of the Chen family insisted on refusing, and knelt in the courtyard all night, saying that it was already With someone you like, he is the only one in this life."

His companion finally became interested, "He's an infatuated kind, but it hurts the cousin's face. Hahahahahaha. This Chen family is not affectionate, but he is meaningless." He shook his head.

"In the end, the old lady of the Chen family was forced by him and fainted. She didn't know whether it was a real faint or a fake faint. Anyway, she was forced by death to force the eldest son to agree to this marriage. The youngest of the Chen family is a filial person. Dad is gone again, the only family member begging him like this, so he has to agree! It is said that at dawn today, the chief steward of the Chen family went south to give the dowry."

The two commented and sighed again, settled the bill and left.Yuan Xiaolan, who had been crushed by a series of messages and couldn't move, was left with a pale face.

He sat there for a while, then seemed to remember something, and stumbled away without even paying the bill.But Zeng Baiyu didn't care about this small amount of money, but felt that Mr. Yuan's complexion was not right, so he hurriedly found someone to follow him.

Outside the store, looking at Yuan Xiaolan who was in a daze and stopped the rickshaw to go to Chen's Mansion, the two who were gossiping in the store just now looked at each other, and said honestly: "Are we doing this unkindly, don't you think?"

The other person glanced at his mouth, "He should know, he will know sooner or later, it's better to know sooner than to be kept in the dark and wait until he sees Chen Jingyou becoming the groom's official."

"Master Liu didn't even know about this. We did it privately. If Master Liu finds out, I'm afraid we will be thrown to Siberia to mine."

"So remember to keep your mouth shut. I don't want to go to a place like Siberia. If I am found out, I will confess that Lao Hong told us to do it. Anyway, he will help Master Liu manage the theater. At most Suffering from the pain of skin and flesh, no one will die."

The two muttered to each other, and then one followed behind Youfeng Laiju's waiter, and the other went to find Liu Ye.It can be said that they are very guarded against themselves and cheated.

It's almost summer, and the weather is changeable. The sky that was originally good has become cloudy and cloudy in a blink of an eye.

The rickshaw driver looked at the day and asked worriedly: "Sir, do we need to find a place to hide from the rain? You didn't bring an umbrella either, so be careful of getting drenched."

Yuan Xiaolan was ignorant, and turned a deaf ear to his words. His hands firmly held the little red string in his hand. It was a gadget Chen Jingyou gave him yesterday. He said he bought it somewhere, where lovers would know Give each other a small red rope woven by themselves, as long as they are tied, they will be the only one for each other, and they will be together forever.At that time, he was smiling and looking at the red rope he tied for himself.There is also a jade pendant engraved with the word "Lan" on the red string, which was custom-made by someone Chen Jingyou specially found.He also carefully tied the red rope to the other party.

He has been waiting, and has always believed, that they will, tied together by red ropes, live forever.

After the rumbling thunder, the bean-sized raindrops fell down. This is the rain in summer, and the grain in the field smiled towards the sky to welcome the nectar that fell from the sky.

Yuan Xiaolan didn't hold an umbrella, and soon her gown was soaked.The coachman was also kind. Seeing his indifferent and extremely sad appearance, he put his coir raincoat on him.The sixth master's people who followed behind felt a thump in their hearts, secretly thinking that they were about to suffer.

In the wind and rain, the rickshaw stopped, and the drenched coachman called several times: "Sir, sir! The Chen residence is here."

Yuan Xiaolan suddenly came back to his senses. He first touched the coir raincoat on his body, and then saw the driver who was completely dry, and suddenly smiled. Although that smile was uglier than crying, he took off the coir raincoat on his body, He gave it back to the coachman, "You are a kind man, thank you. Go home and ask your wife to make ginger soup for you, so as not to catch typhoid fever." Then he gave all the money on his body to the kind coachman .Without waiting for the coachman to pay him back the extra money, he knocked on the door of Chen's house and walked in.

The person who opened the door obviously knew Yuan Xiaolan—is there anyone in this manor who doesn’t know this Mr. Yuan, but no one dared to say anything under the thunderous tactics of the old lady. He hurriedly said: "Mr. Yuan, Go and see the young master, he has been sitting in the house all night, and he has no appetite for anything he sends in."

Yuan Xiaolan was uncharacteristically leisurely, and he even asked: "I heard that the chief steward went south to give the dowry? Is this mansion going to welcome your eldest and youngest mistress soon?"

The person who led the way hesitated, didn't say anything useful, just kept asking him to persuade the young master.But that doesn’t mean much, it actually says a lot.What should he advise?Persuading his beloved to marry someone else willingly?It's ridiculous.It turns out that I am so generous and cowardly in the eyes of others.He was getting closer and closer to that person, but the place where he was familiar with Aiji before was full of ferocious eyes, every step he took was stepping on thorns, and his feet were covered with blood.A voice kept shouting in my heart, yes, Yuan Xiaolan, you are so cowardly and hopelessly weak.Even at this point, you still want to hear what he has to say, if he says no, will you trust him again?

Fortunately, someone came to help him break the situation that he had not been able to see all this time. A thin voice rang in his ear: "What are you doing here? This is not the place you should come. From now on, you are not allowed to set foot on the ground again." Half a step into this Chen Mansion! Come on! Get this man out of here!" This Miss Biao, who was born with a gentle Jiangnan aura, was a full-fledged hostess at the moment.Her father saved the only pillar of the Chen family, and the Chen family owed their family a great debt of gratitude, so it would be best to be a good friend of Qin and Jin.

She seemed to feel that the expression on Yuan Xiaolan's face was not miserable enough, or she felt that she had been suppressed by a man for a long time, and now she finally turned over, wishing to scratch Yuan Xiaolan's pitiful face Now, she waved back to the ground and stood in front of Yuan Xiaolan, leaned down and said softly: "There is only one mistress of the Chen family, and that is me. Even if it wasn't me, it would be another one who can give Jing You A woman who brings benefits, you are a man, what are you delusional about? Tell me, are you stupid? I will give birth to children for Jing You, who can satisfy the old lady’s desire to carry on the family line, but what can you do? "

Her words were very soft, not even as sharp as before, but Yuan Xiaolan seemed to be hit by something, and took a big step back.

The servant who led the way thought Miss Biao was going to do something to Mr. Yuan, so he quickly shouted: "Master Yuan, are you okay!"

Sure enough, Chen Jingyou, who was still facing the wall inside, heard the name and opened the door with a bang. He saw his cousin and Xiaolan standing together, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled Yuan Xiaolan to stand in front of him, "You guys what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything, but Mr. Yuan came to see my cousin. I saw that his face was not good, and I was worried about him, so I talked to him."

Chen Jingyou looked down, and saw that Xiaolan's whole body was soaked, obviously from the rain, and her lips were white now, without a trace of blood.

He was so anxious that he was about to pull him back into the room and change his clothes, but he didn't expect to be pushed away by someone. In the past, the person who would narrow his eyes into a cute shape when he smiled obediently, now his face was expressionless, and he didn't even look at himself. , Instead, he said to his cousin: "Miss Cousin, can I have a few words with him alone?"

Miss Biao has always been the considerate, gentle and pleasant person in front of Chen Jingyou, so she naturally said very wittily at this moment: "Then I'll go to the kitchen and make a bowl of ginger soup for Mr. Yuan." At this moment, she seemed to be no longer the aggressive person just now She is not a woman, but a gentle lady of a family, such a person who advances and retreats properly is indeed the most suitable young mistress of the Chen family. Even Chen Jingyou can't blame her for her mother's forced marriage.

"Xiao Lan, follow me into the house and change clothes. Why did you come here? That servant Liu Xiaodie never remembers to ask you to bring an umbrella when you go out."

Yuan Xiaolan broke away from him, and the two stood facing each other in front of the eaves. Chen Jingyou saw that his expression was not right, and he guessed in his heart that Xiaolan knew what happened last night, and his heart tightened immediately, half guilty, half guilty. It's a request, "Xiao Lan, listen to me, my mother is seriously ill, I just want to comfort her first, and when she recovers, I will definitely find a way to call off this marriage! Believe me! The only one I want to marry is you !"

Yuan Xiaolan nodded, "What about the kindness of Miss Biao's family? What are you going to do? You have already given the dowry, but you have the intention of regretting the marriage, so what is the situation of Miss Biao? I know Chen Jingyou , It’s not the kind of man who has no responsibility and only thinks about himself.” After all, the young lady was still in her boudoir, and no matter how hard she calculated, she couldn’t figure out how cruel the person she liked was.Yuan Xiaolan coughed, and without waiting for him to answer, asked again: "Even if everything above can be resolved, what about Mrs. Chen? What about the incense of the Chen family? Without this cousin, there will be the next one." , and I'm tired."

Chen Jingyou was speechless, he held Yuan Xiaolan's hand tightly, and told him, "Xiaolan, if you wait for me, I will definitely be able to convince my mother..." He also knew that what he said meant nothing. He is not persuasive, and he will not be able to pass the current hurdle. He and his cousin's family are cooperating in a big business. If they regret the marriage, the Chen family's business will suffer a great blow.The cousin's family has a very wide network and has connections with the military. As long as this deal is completed, he can restore the glory of the Chen family and avenge his father!He thought about it all night, but he already understood that it was impossible for him to give up this opportunity.So he paused and added, "Xiaolan, listen to me, even if I marry my cousin in the end, I won't touch her, we will still be the same as before, nothing will change, my There is only you in my heart!"

"Shut up! Chen Jingyou! Who do you think I, Yuan Xiaolan?! Is it a concubine or a shady concubine!" Rain outside the eaves
