Chapter 440 Rong Yan Comes to the Door
Old Madam Rong pulled Jiaojiao and said a few words affectionately before leaving.
Rong Yan ordered Xuan Liu to **** his grandmother back. Some remnants of Princess Shengyuan have not been arrested yet, so we must be careful in everything.
The servants helped carry the presents brought by Rong Yan inside, and Rong Yan and Jiaojiao went to meet the elders.
This way,
Liu Zhihua sent away the disturbing people, and went back to the backyard to rest for a while. As soon as she lay down on the couch and closed her eyes, the maid outside the door hurriedly said: "Ma'am, there are guests again."
Liu Zhihua frowned in annoyance. Just after Wang Liuer left, someone came to the door. He thought it was Wang Zetao and the others who came, and ordered in displeasure, "Go to the master and tell me that I am unwell."
After finishing speaking, she closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Backyard,
Wang Zhuangzhi built a small garden in the open space next to the bamboo grove. Today he was going to plant some fennel seedlings. He was digging the soil with the servant, and he heard the maid said that there were guests in the front yard.
Hastily took the cotton kerchief on the fence, wiped his hands, patted the dirt on his robe, and followed the maid to the front hall.
…
Front lobby,
Jiaojiao was still putting on airs, but brother Yan finished his cup of tea, and his parents hadn't come yet.
Rong Yan's handsome face is very calm. He knows that the Wang family is very pampered, so he will naturally be unhappy about this kind of thing, so he can only slowly influence the family.
He smiled and boasted to the little girl: "Well, this tea is good."
Jiaojiao choked, poured a second cup of tea from the teapot, and glanced at the door by the way.
When she went out, her parents were still here just now, so the servant girl should call for someone, why didn't everyone come.
Could it be that you want to give people a blow?
Jiaojiao looked at Brother Yan with a little worry, her slender white and tender little fingers were mixed together, in fact, Brother Yan was working very hard, his parents didn't like him, he couldn't get angry yet, so he could only find ways to avoid her, and She was still angry with him, thinking about it, Jiaojiao felt that she was going too far...
The little girl's fingers turned red, Rong Yan couldn't stand it anymore.
The big hand stretched out, gently wrapped her little hand and rubbed it, and coaxed with a soft smile: "Okay, your skin is already delicate, and it will rot if you rub it again."
Jiaojiao's cheeks became hot, she pouted and said in a low voice, "It's not that exaggerated."
The two were still holding hands, and Wang Zhuangzhi hurried in.
Jiaojiao subconsciously withdrew her little hand, blushing and did not dare to look at her father.
Wang Zhuangzhi did not notice the strangeness of his daughter, but he was taken aback when he saw Rong Yan, and hurried over and said apologetically, "It turns out that you are the Master of the State Teacher, you are welcome at a distance, you are welcome at a distance!"
Rong Yan got up at the same time, supported Wang Zhuangzhi and said: "Uncle, you are being polite, just call me Rong Yan, I am the one who came here rashly to disturb everyone."
"Hey, if this is where it is, then, Mr. Rong, take your seat quickly."
Wang Zhuangzhi honestly greeted everyone to sit down together.
"It's not a coincidence that Qiusheng went to his old man's house, and Baoya's girl also went shopping. His mother had a headache in the morning and went back to the house to rest. Don't take offense, Mr. Rong. Let's have lunch together. Everyone is there during lunch." It's gone." Wang Zhuangzhi said shyly.
Rong Yan smiled when he heard the words, and said with a gentle face: "Uncle, Rong Yan is just looking at you when he has nothing to do. They are all members of his own family. I see you as if I saw you."
Wang Zhuangzhi was blushed by these words, and stammered with a smile: "Oh, good."
Rong Yan is not a hot-tempered person at first, but he still tries to find some topics to talk about. Wang Zhuangzhi is simple and honest, and he is also a stupid person on weekdays. He also asks Rong Yan if he has eaten, and whether he is busy recently. .
Rong Yan smiled casually: "Uncle, how are you doing?"
Wang Zhuangzhi nodded quickly: "Oh, okay, my body has been solid since I was a child."
Wang Zhuangzhi laughed, scratched his head and asked, "Young Master Rong, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't eaten, I'll ask someone to bring you some."
Rong Yan's face was warm, and he said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your concern, I used it, you can use it?"
Wang Zhuangzhi nodded quickly, and replied: "I have used it, haha, I have used it, have you been busy these two days?"
Rong Yan nodded, and replied seriously: "The past few days were a bit busy, but these two days have relaxed a lot."
Wang Zhuangzhi nodded with a smile, and said casually: "It's good if you're not busy. You scholars make your brains bigger, and you need to rest more often. Only by nourishing your mind and body can you be strong."
Rong Yan hooked his lips, nodded and said: "Well, listen to uncle, Rong Yan will pay attention to it in the future."
Jiaojiao really wanted to laugh when she heard it, she lowered her head and restrained herself as much as possible.
Rong Yan looked at the little girl who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, his eyes flicked over Ni Chong, and he smiled helplessly with the corners of his lips curled up.
Rong Yan spoke softly and easy-going, Wang Zhuangzhi could continue to say whatever he said, after some conversation, Wang Zhuangzhi's complexion was ruddy with a smile on his face.
Later, Wang Zhuangzhi was so coaxed that he was a little flustered, and he directly asked the maid to serve some good wine and food, and smiled and said that he wanted to have a drink with Rong Yan.
Rong Yan didn't refuse, but Jiaojiao was a little worried. Brother Yan didn't drink at all, and Daddy couldn't drink now, so she hurriedly called out: "Father."
Wang Zhuangzhi looked at Jiaojiao, thinking that his daughter thought he was drinking, so he smiled flatteringly and said, "Baby, Daddy only drinks two cups, not too much."
Jiaojiao pouted and hesitated, Rong Yan said softly: "I happened to bring two jars just now, and the taste of the wine is not strong, so drinking a little is fine."
Wang Zhuangzhi's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded with a smile, "That's a good thing, I'll drink mild wine now."
Jiaojiao choked for a moment, seeing her father's greedy face, she could only say to the two dryly: "You guys drink less, I don't like the smell of alcohol."
Rong Yan smiled, Wang Zhuangzhi clapped his hands and smiled heartily, and said to his daughter: "Baby, Daddy only drinks three cups, and never drinks too much, then, remember not to tell your mother."
In the early years, he had a big drink with those people on the pier, and the next day he coughed up bloodshot eyes, which almost scared the whole family. Since then, his wife has not allowed him to drink alcohol.
In the past two years, he has been buying some mild wine to satisfy his hunger. It has been two months since the last time he drank, and today he was so happy chatting with Rong Yan that the wine list bug in his stomach came out again.
Jiaojiao didn't say anything else, that's all, let Aunt Hua cook some hot soup later, add some spiritual water to the soup and forget it.
…
When Qiu Sheng and his party came back, the butler said at the door that there were guests at home.
Qiu Sheng was taken aback, and asked the housekeeper, "Do you know who it is?"
Where did the housekeeper know the Master of the National Teacher, and he said in retrospect: "He is a noble son, and the old slave has never seen it before."
Exquisite son? Qiu Sheng was at a loss, and didn't realize who it was.
The three of Wei Qing and the others stopped when they heard this, and Qian Baokang said in a low voice, "Qiu Sheng, hurry up and greet the guests, we will look for you tomorrow."
Liu Weiqing and Murong Shen also nodded in agreement, Qiu Sheng is now a third-rank official, and it is estimated that the people who are visiting are all important court officials or members of the royal family, so it is not appropriate for them to follow.
Qiu Sheng smiled when he heard this, patted their shoulders, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about, you are all my own people, I don't need to greet you, you stay in the study by yourself, I will go to see you when I go to meet people. "
After finishing speaking, Qiu Sheng didn't give them a chance to refuse, and directly ordered the housekeeper to prepare meals and send them to the study.
"Okay, the food is ready, you go shopping first, I'll go to the front hall to have a look."
The three of them had no choice but to give up when they heard about it. The three of them helped the overseer clean up the Zhuangyuan's mansion, but they were familiar with the route of the mansion, so they went straight to the study.
Qiu Sheng went to the front hall.
The moment he entered the hall, Qiu Sheng was stunned.
Master Guoshi is actually at home.
Moreover, Rong Yan who was lying on the table was flushed, as if he was a little drunk, and his father was sitting opposite, also red-faced, and was telling people how he met a wild boar while hunting and killed it with his bare hands.
"Brother."
A delicate voice came from behind, and Qiu Sheng hurriedly turned his head.
Jiaojiao walked in from the courtyard with two bowls of hot soup, she was relieved when she saw her elder brother, she walked over quickly, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you came just in time, go to Brother Fuyan and go to the guest room to rest for a while, I thought he was drunk, but Dad just said he was not drunk, and he was still telling stories."
Qiu Sheng was confused and didn't ask a bunch of questions. Seeing that the younger sister was anxious, he nodded first and followed the younger sister in.
"Father, drink a bowl of hot soup and take it easy."
Jiaojiao handed a bowl of soup to Daddy first, then blocked Daddy's view, and winked at Eldest Brother.
Wang Qiusheng rubbed his nose, walked to the side of the national teacher and raised his hand to help, Rong Yan suddenly opened his eyes, his face stern, and he directly pressed Qiusheng's wrist with his backhand.
"Hiss~" Qiusheng took a deep breath in pain, and hurriedly said: "National teacher, my minister is Wang Qiusheng."
Hearing the commotion, Wang Zhuangzhi got up quickly, got up and walked up to them with a flushed face, looked at Qiu Sheng and Rong Yan in puzzlement, saw the two holding hands, and shouted, "Why are you two still fighting? Qiu Sheng Let go quickly, don't hurt Mr. Rong."
Qiu Sheng was sweating in pain, and he almost felt sick when he heard what his father said.
Rong Yan regained consciousness slowly, subconsciously let go of the man's hand, rubbed his eyebrows and looked at Qiu Sheng apologetically, and then said to Uncle Wang: "Uncle, it's me."
"Hey, I don't blame you. Qiusheng is not sensible. He didn't want to see you in the past. Now he dares to make a move. Uncle will speak well of him in the future." Wang Zhuangzhi said while patting Rong Yan on the shoulder, Look like I know you've been wronged.
Qiu Sheng: "..."
Rong Yan: "..."
Jiaojiao: "..."
Qiu Sheng rubbed his wrists, looked at the younger sister, and felt that his father was more drunk.
Jiaojiao was also a little embarrassed, they obviously drank three glasses alone, how could they be so drunk.
Jiaojiao scratched her ears, and hurriedly reminded her father: "Father, mother will be here in a while, your face is so red from drinking, be careful, mother will get angry."
Wang Zhuangzhi was taken aback when he heard that, he quickly raised his hand to touch his face, and then looked at the door, "Oh, no, your mother is really angry today, if you find out about this, you will have to beat her to death."
Wang Zhuangzhi panicked, and was about to run out the door, but he remembered something, came back, patted Rong Yan and said, "Uncle, go wash your face first, nephew, drink slowly."
After speaking, Wang Zhuangzhi hurried out towards the door.
Qiu Sheng couldn't help helping his forehead with restraint, Jiaojiao wanted to laugh again, but seeing that Brother Yan also looked like he had drunk too much, she bit her lower lip and endured it.
Rong Yan's head was still a little heavy, and he felt pain in his temples. He rubbed his swollen temples, and said to Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, I'll drink some hot soup."
Jiaojiao let out an "oh" and hurriedly brought it from the side.
Seeing this, Qiu Sheng raised his hand to take the hot soup from his younger sister, and handed it straight to him, saying bluntly, "If the national teacher drinks too much, go and have a rest. I have a servant girl from the house to serve me."
Their family Jiaojiao is so big, she hasn't served tea and water to anyone yet, doesn't he have long hands for such a big man, let Jiaojiao serve him.
Rong Yan glanced at him, apologized, took the bowl and took two sips.
After drinking the hot soup, the stomach was relieved instantly, and even the head became a little more awake.
Rong Yan said to Qiu Sheng, "I'm sorry just now."
Qiu Sheng was speechless again, thinking that he was so intimate and familiar with his father just now, he deserves to be a national teacher, and his methods are really powerful.
Qiu Sheng pulled up the chair and sat down, and said: "Master Guoshi, Jiaojiao has been raised in our house since she was a child, and she will not wash her hands and make soup to serve others in the future. Although I just made a fuss, I also want to use this to explain , your noble family has many rules, as far as I know, you have to greet your mother-in-law early in the morning, and some even have to serve your husband for dinner, these delicate things can't be done, and we won't let her learn to do it."
"Of course not, his elder brother is worrying too much." Rong Yan looked at him with raised eyebrows.
Qiu Sheng's face froze, his big brother?
He, why is he so shameless? He doesn't think that he can marry Jiaojiao after a drink with his father and a good relationship.
Qiu Sheng showed a pale face, and said: "Master Guoshi, the time is early, and it will be settled later in the future, and it will not be too late for you to change your name."
Although he didn't seem to reject him, it was impossible to admit that he was his brother-in-law right now.
Jiaojiao blinked, looked at them with her fingers, but didn't dare to speak.
Eldest brother said that these were all for her own good, so naturally she couldn't disrespect elder brother, but she also couldn't help elder brother to say that brother Yan has been very spoiled to her for so many years, and he doesn't want her to do anything on weekdays. Do it for you.
Every time she encounters this topic, the palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh, which troubles her very much. Alas, let's obediently be an invisible person here.
Rong Yan nodded with a smile on his face, took another sip of the hot soup, and said casually: "Naturally, but just now uncle praised me for being good, Jiaojiao is also relieved to leave it to me, his elder brother can rest assured, after a while, I will make a decision." Just call your brother."
Qiu Sheng choked, this is not the majestic national teacher who was in the court in the morning, but now he is playing a rascal with a thick skin.
Jiaojiao saw that the two of them were getting along, so she hurriedly smoothed things over and said to her elder brother, "Brother, how is sister-in-law?"
Qiusheng heard Mingyue's bright mood, nodded and smiled and said: "Very good, Mingyue brought gifts for the family, and bought some clothes and jewelry for Jiaojiao. She said that she saw them on the street two days ago. It is very suitable for Jiaojiao, and the housekeeper took it to the backyard."
Jiaojiao heard this and boasted with a smile: "Big brother has to thank sister-in-law for us. Big brother is really lucky. To marry such a caring lady, Jiaojiao will be filial to sister-in-law in the future."
Rong Yan listened amusedly, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved.
Qiu Sheng's face was also a little hot, and the big Buddha Rong Yan was still there, he touched the little girl's head, and said in a low voice: "Well, our Jiaojiao is a caring person."
