Yan Jiahe was knowledgeable and elegant in conversation, but Yan Shi was very happy. I didn't expect that although this place is not big, it is really a land of crouching dragons and hidden dragons. Yan Jiahe has such knowledge, so Jia Kaiming, who is Jie Yuan, is even more knowledgeable.
After lunch, Yan Shi followed Yan Jiahe back to his house. Before leaving, Yan Jiahe specially ordered a few dishes to pack and take away.
Yan Jiahe's family is not a wealthy family, but it can be regarded as an upper-middle level in the local area. The mansion is not very big, and there are only three or four servants of rough envoys.
Yan Jiahe ordered his servants to tidy up several guest rooms and come out, and asked the servants to take the food in their hands to the kitchen to warm it up, and then invited Yan Shi to the study.
Not long after I sat down, I heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside, followed by a very crisp and cheerful voice: "I'm back! Brother Yan, I'm back!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a young man ran in and threw himself into Yan Jiahe's arms, knocking him to a stagger.
Yan Jiahe patted him on the head: "Why did you come back so quickly? I thought you wouldn't come back until it was dark."
"I miss you, so I came back quickly." The man chuckled for a while, and finally saw someone else in the study. He put a finger under his chin, and looked up and down with his eyes without hesitation. Yan Shi and the others said, "Ah, brother Yan, who are these? Where did you conjure these three beautiful brothers?"
Yan Shi finally saw his face clearly. This man was around 20 years old, with a handsome face, but with a bit of a silly taste. Combined with what he said and did just now, it is not difficult to see that there is something wrong with his head. .
Yan Jiahe pulled him back and asked him to sit down on the chair: "These are brothers who are guests at home, Xiaoxi should sit down obediently and don't be rude."
Fang Xi sat obediently on the chair and did not dare to move, and then whispered to Yan Jiahe in a voice that she thought no one else could hear: "Brother Yan, these young masters are so beautiful, Xiao Xi can be with you." Are they playing?"
Yan Jiahe was a little embarrassed, and suddenly remembered something: "I brought you food in 'You Ke Lai', you go to the kitchen to find Aunt Fu, but when you are late, you will be eaten up by the big rat."
When Fang Xi heard this, she stood up from her chair in a panic: "Then I'll go eat first, and come back to play with Brother Yan after I finish eating."
Fang Xi rushed in and ran out again.
Hua Ling looked at the direction where he left and tilted his head and asked, "Yan Juren, who is this Xiao Xi?"
"He is also from our town. As you can see, Xiaoxi has some problems with his head." Yan Jiahe said, tapping his head with his hand, "He is also a poor man. After his parents died, I saw no one to take care of him." He took him to the house to take care of him. There is only so much I can do. Although I am not a wealthy person, it is still possible to provide him with a warm coat and let him have a full meal. Today In the morning, Xiaoxi went to the temple to offer incense with the people from the town, and she just came back later."
Yan Shi's affection for Yan Jiahe increased a bit: "Brother Yan is really a benevolent person."
Yan Jiahe waved his hands and said, "I'm nothing, if we say that the true benevolent people are Xiaoxi's adoptive parents."
"Oh?" Yan Shi said, "Is he an abandoned baby?"
Yan Jiahe nodded: "Xiaoxi's adoptive father and adoptive mother are from this town. They were poor and married for many years without children. Later, they picked up Xiaoxi and raised him carefully, loving him like his own son. Xiaoxi is also a poor person Originally, his head was fine. It is said that when he was five years old, he had a serious illness and burned his head, so he became what he is now. But Xiaoxi is also lucky. His adoptive parents treated him the same as before."
The servants of the Yan Mansion happened to bring a few plates of dim sum. After hearing Yan Jiahe's words, they couldn't help interjecting: "The young masters don't know. Although Young Master Xi only entered the mansion two years ago, he can be happy soon I grew up happily, and my master's credit is indispensable for this."
"It's a pity that after the young master's head was broken, the people in this town bullied him, and the children mouthed on him.
Salivate, throw stones. The adults also make fun of him, but unfortunately the young master's adoptive parents are kind to him, but they have a simple and honest personality, and they talk without weight. When others bully his children, they will only cry behind their backs, and there is nothing they can do. At that time my old man was still young, but he was smart, so I told the old man at that time to tell everyone in the town not to bully Young Master Xi again. Because Young Master Xi helped the people in the town to avoid the disaster, it became like this, and we should all be grateful to him. My old man has some prestige in the town. When he said this, the whole town believed it. From then on, no one bullied Master Xi anymore. "
Yan Jiahe blushed a little when he heard such praise from his servants, and said in a low voice, "Stop talking."
After the servants finished their snacks, they hurriedly retreated.
Yan Jiahe suddenly remembered that Qu Liushang came with a medicine box, so he asked, "Brother Qu can be a doctor? I wonder if Xiaoxi's head will be cured?"
Qu Liushang said: "To be a doctor is to be a doctor, but unfortunately, the young master has been ill for many years, and I am afraid it will be difficult to cure. But I will show him some time later, even if he cannot be cured, there is no loss."
Yan Jiahe cupped his fists: "Thank you so much Brother Qu."
Hua Ling yawned big, and Yan Shi asked in a low voice, "But are you sleepy?"
Hua Ling nodded obediently: "Brother, I want to sleep for a while."
"Then I'll accompany you." As he spoke, he was about to stand up.
"No need, brother." Hua Ling said, "I'll just sleep by myself, I'm not a child, it's fine."
Yan Shi chuckled lightly and didn't say anything else. After a while, Qu Liushang also excused himself to leave.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Qu Liushang took an opportunity to ask Hua Ling.
Hua Ling sighed: "I think my acting skills are a little too hard?" After seeing Xiao Xi, he felt more and more like him.
Qu Liushang laughed a few times: "Why do you care so much? As long as your brother doesn't dislike it."
Hua Ling glanced at him appreciatively: "That's right, as long as my brother doesn't think there's anything wrong with it, it's fine. Unlike some people, who look smart and wise, but they just don't like that person. Tsk tsk tsk …”
Qu Liushang gritted his teeth in hatred.
In the afternoon, Qu Liushang checked Fang Xi's pulse, and finally shook his head in disappointment: "That's the only way, but he is in good health, so you can rest assured."
Yan Jiahe looked at Fang Xi and smiled: "I just don't want to have any regrets, it's fine for Xiao Xi to be carefree all day long."
Fang Xi couldn't understand what he said, just saw him smiling at him, so she smiled at him too.
Hua Ling decided to carry out her image of the second idiot to the end, and anyone with any IQ is suitable to be with someone with any IQ, so she tugged at Yan Shi's wide sleeves and shook: "Brother, I want to go play with Xiaoxi." no, sorry?"
Yan Shi pampered his little nose: "Yes, but you are not allowed to leave the house."
Hua Ling chuckled: "I know, if I want to leave the house, I must go with my brother."
Fang Xiben was a little curious about Yan Shi and the others, but now seeing that Hua Ling wanted to play with him, she was also very happy, and took Hua Ling to the place where she often went to play.
In the evening, Yan Jiahe brought back Jia Kaiming's news: "Brother Yan, I have already gone to Jia's mansion to submit a greeting card, but it just depends on the situation and you guys have to wait for a while."
Yan Shi asked, "Jia Jieyuan is so hard to see?"
Yan Jiahe said: "Jia Jieyuan is a big family in our place and the most knowledgeable person in the local area. He is inevitably a little arrogant in his bones. I have to say that the Jia family is also really powerful. Jia Jieyuan's elder brother, Mr. Jia, was also our Jieyuan back then. He was admitted to the second place again, and now he is an official outside."
"In this way, the Jia family is really amazing." The information Zhang Yuxin provided him stated that Jia Kaiming had an elder brother who was an official outside, but Yan Shi didn't know that his elder brother was also this amazing. As soon as he said it, Yan Shi couldn't wait to see him. Yan Shi rubbed his chin, and continued, "Since you can't go to the mansion to meet, why not have a 'chance encounter'."
Yan Shi ordered Zhao Chunhai to squat in front of the gate of Jia's mansion, and once Jia Kaiming came out, he would come back and report immediately.
Time passed and it was noon the next day. Zhao Chunhai brought back a message—Jia Kaiming went to 'Yougu Lai' for dinner.
The visitor came to the restaurant that Yan Shi went to yesterday. The restaurant was well-known for its delicious taste and fragrance, and it was very famous in a hundred miles around.
After Yan Shi got the news, he immediately took Hua Ling out of the Yan Mansion, and Yan Jiahe followed them with Xiao Xi.
There were not as many visitors today as there were yesterday. After asking Xiao Er, and knowing that Jia Kaiming was on the second floor, Yan Shi walked up again. Hua Ling followed behind and swallowed hard. I don't know if Yan Shi heard it, or what, but turned around and smiled at him: "But are you hungry again?" He just came after lunch.
Hua Ling's face was a little red: "Brother, no, I'm full."
Fang Xi, who was following behind, heard it, and shouted, "I'm not hungry, but the smell makes me hungry. Brother Hua Ling must be like this too."
"Brother." Hua Ling called softly, but didn't say any more in embarrassment.
Yan Shi smiled: "When I see Jia Jieyuan, I'll order another table for you."
Fang Xi swallowed hard when she heard the words: "Brother Hualing, you must not be able to finish the whole table by yourself. May I help you eat together?"
Yan Shi and Yan Jiahe shook their heads helplessly after hearing this and smiled.
While speaking, he had already reached the second floor, and Yan Jiahe saw Jia Kaiming who was sitting by the window at a glance. He motioned for Yan Shi to follow behind him, and he went to greet Jia Kaiming first: "Jia Jieyuan, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"
Jia Kaiming's hand holding the chopsticks paused for a moment, but he didn't let it go. He just raised his eyelids and looked at Yan Jiahe: "Hey, Yan Juren, you're here too. And you brought that idiot too? What do you want to do with a fool, and you are not afraid that he will pass on his foolishness to you."
