This meal made the originally active Xu Wenlan feel particularly silent.
He was sure that the Marquis knew about Xiao Mubai and Xia Chu, but the Marquis's attitude seemed to be acquiescence
Even if Xiao Mubai was excellent, how could he convince the Marquis to agree to this matter.
He admired Xiao Mubai again and again in his heart, and admired it again and again.
"Why are you so quiet today?" Mr. Hou felt that something was wrong after eating for a while. His eyes touched the worried Xu Wenlan, and then he realized that he was not used to the lack of his constant talk.
"Yes, Xu Wenlan, why do you talk so little today." Xia Chu chimed in when he heard the words, and the sun really came out in the west.
Xu Wenlan looked at the father and son, and naturally couldn't say what was in his stomach. Finally, he suppressed a sentence: "Master Hou, Lanlan and I will be filial to you in the future. You regard Lanlan as your daughter. From now on, Our children are naturally your grandchildren."
The Marquis was startled by his meaningless words. Xia Chu was even more amazed that he didn't make a sound, but his sound was really amazing.
Lan Yuying blushed and pushed him. She didn't know why he said such a word for no reason.
The Marquis coughed lightly: "I originally planned to accept Ying'er as my adopted daughter, and her children will naturally be my grandsons in the future."
Xu Wenlan suddenly became enlightened after hearing this. It turned out that the Marquis had made plans early in the morning. No wonder he acquiesced to Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai. In his heart, he felt deeply that the Marquis was so open-minded and could think so openly about this matter. Next came Master Hou's joking tone: "When did I promise you that I would betroth Ying'er to you?"
Xu Wenlan boasted that he had figured out the matter of Xiao Mubai, Xia Chu and Mr. Hou. At this time, he returned to his usual eloquent tone and said to Mr. Hou with a shy face: "Master-in-law, this is not a matter of time." Well…”
"Bah!" Mr. Hou spat at him. The serious son-in-law Xiao Mubai hadn't even called him out yet, so he took the lead.
"Don't be ridiculous, my father-in-law..."
"When will my father-in-law recognize Lan Lan as his adopted daughter?"
"My father-in-law, when will I ask my father to propose marriage?"
"Hey, my father-in-law, please wait for me..."
After Mr. Hou finished his speech, Xu Wenlan stood up. Naturally, Xia Chu and Lan Yuying followed him and left.
Xu Wenlan felt as if someone had just unlocked his mute point, and he couldn't stop talking as soon as he started talking.
Xia Chu was delayed by Zhao Xingwen yesterday and did not drink the scented tea cooked by Lan Yuying. Tonight, she was asked to cook it again.
When I think about it carefully, I haven't drank it in more than ten years, including my previous life, and I really miss it.
Lan Yuying naturally agreed, and the Marquis was still unfinished yesterday. The three of them walked towards the study. Xia Chu's eyes lit up and he asked her, "Meng'an, can plum blossoms make tea?"
Lan Yuying focused on the plum blossom hairpin in his bun, and a knowing smile appeared on her lips: "Plum blossoms can be used for medicinal purposes, and they can also be used to make tea. Why don't I cook one for you tonight?" Hu, you might as well learn a lesson."
Xia Chu nodded immediately. In the past, he only knew that the roots of plum blossoms could cure jaundice, but he didn't know the magical effects of making tea from them.
"The combination of plum blossoms, Bupleurum and Bergamot has miraculous effects on the liver and stomach." Xu Wenlan stood behind, listening to Lan Yuying's detailed explanation to Xia Chu, he couldn't help but sigh, and called out pitifully from behind: "You should pay attention to me, what I'm talking about is serious life-long matters, okay!"
Xia Chu turned around and glared at him: "Drink if you like, or go back to Xu Mansion if you don't."
Xu Wenlan immediately stepped forward and took Lan Yuying's arm: "Of course I want to drink the tea cooked by my wife."
The Marquis walked in front and looked back at the three people who were laughing and scolding. Lao Huai smiled happily and turned around to tell Cong Ting to buy the things Lan Yuying wanted.
Xia Chu chased Xu Wenlan, punching and kicking him, but Xu Wenlan pulled Lan Yuying to block him.
The short walk to the study took them just as long as a stick of incense. By the time the three of them entered the study, the Marquis had already finished writing a few words in it.
Xu Wenlan stepped forward and patted the dried calligraphy. Xia Chu said, "Can you change some fresh words? Those words are all what I said."
After the pot of tea was finished, Xia Chu saw that the Marquis was getting tired, so he took the two of them to leave together.
Xia Chu originally planned to be polite and take Lan Yuying to send Xu Wenlan out of the house, but Xu Wenlan had to send Lan Yuying back to the courtyard, and the two of them were reluctant to leave.
Xia Chu sighed and retreated silently. As expected, the two of them didn't even notice when he left. When they found out, Xu Wenlan was happy and said to Lan Yuying: "Anyway, he went back first. Let’s go for a walk in the garden and enjoy the moon…”
Lan Yuying hesitated a little, then was pulled towards the garden by Xu Wenlan.
When Xia Chu returned to Yunqi courtyard alone, he saw Han Sa standing outside the courtyard with a bruised nose and swollen face: "Why haven't you gone back yet?"
Han Sa purred inward. Xia Chu looked in his direction and saw that the candle lamp in his room was on, but the raven was guarding outside his door.
Xia Chu suddenly realized and said jokingly to Han Sa: "No wonder you stayed outside the courtyard and refused to go in."
Han Sa rolled his eyes and groaned twice. No one who had been beaten for two hours would want to stand in the same place as him.
Xia Chu walked to the door of the room and let the raven go first to rest.
Raven glanced into his room, and Xia Chu nodded to indicate that he understood.
Raven didn't waste any time and turned around and walked towards his house.
As soon as Xia Chu opened the door, she was surrounded by a hug. She spun around half a circle, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Mubai had her trapped between the door and his arm.
The flickering candlelight reflected a yellowish warmth in the room, and also caused Xiao Mubai's eyelashes to cast a shadow.
There was a smile on his lips, and the light arc made Xia Chu dizzy. The dark eyes are sparkling and alluring, but if you look closely, there are faint red threads in the phoenix eyes.
"Why are your eyes bloodshot? Didn't you sleep last night?" Xia Chu frowned with concern on his face.
Xiao Mubai raised his right hand and stroked his fingers along her forehead, all the way to her chin before stopping: "I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning all night, and I went to the morning ceremony again. Of course I didn't sleep well."
A warm touch came to Xia Chu's cheek, and as his fingertips touched everything, there was a tingling sensation. Her voice became hoarse unconsciously: "Then what should I do? I'll give you a prescription to soothe your nerves. You Go back and fry it to drink?"
Xiao Mubai put his left hand on her waist, and with a slight exertion, Xia Chu was pulled into his arms, and her chin rested on his shoulder.
And Xiao Mubai bowed his head slightly forward, and whispered in her ear: "I have a heart disease, and there is no cure except you."
