Hold the thick thighs tightly [My father is a traitor]

Chapter 569 Xiao Yining: Don’t children have the right to speak?

Pei Yi didn't gain much from his outing that day. He only brought back news about Wang Lin, and the man he met at the door was just his "surprise".

Wang and Lin had expected this, so they were not disappointed at all. They just became more alert towards this man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Xiao Yining listened outside the door for a while, and seeing that the fellow villager had not yet started to apply the medicine, he peeked in at the study door and said with a hint of pride: "Sister Qing, do you know who the man who went to the opposite door is?"

The three men in the study paused when they heard this and looked at the little boy.

Lin Yuzan said, "Sister Qing, stop making a fuss. Go and comfort your mother and ask her not to be angry with your father."

Xiao Yining: ...

She stuck her head out and looked at her fellow villager and uncle in the house. Unexpectedly, they both had doting smiles on their faces, but there was no trace of conviction in their eyes.

The little kid pursed his lips and said angrily, "If you don't believe it, forget it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she walked away with a proud step.

Lin Yuzan shook his head helplessly and continued the previous topic: "It seems that I can only try it myself."

The other two also nodded solemnly.

However, the person they were talking about did not wait for their test, but came to their door on his own initiative.

The man named "Chen You" knocked on the door of the Lin family after visiting the Leng family's house as night fell.

"Borrow a book?" Lin Yuzan listened to Zheng Da's report, a trace of contemplation flashed across his eyes.

"Mr. Chen was born into a poor family. He encountered robbers when he came to Beijing. All his book boxes were lost, and he had no money to buy new ones. I just learned from Miss Leng that the master is a student of Yunfei Academy, so I came to visit him specially, thinking of borrowing a few books to take back and review in preparation for the imperial examination." Zheng Da conveyed the words to him carefully.

At that time, Wang Cheng had not yet returned. He smiled and said, "This guy might want to take this opportunity to teach us something or two, so that we can get along well from the first sight."

Lin Yuzan glanced at him and his thoughts coincided with his.

He looked down at the tonic soup his wife had carefully prepared.

I saw tofu floating in the bowl, covered with a thin layer of white foam, which made it seem a little difficult to swallow.

He gritted his teeth and took a sip. The taste was extremely bland, which made him feel calm and free from desire. He just felt that his mind was clear tonight (zero), and he could read until dawn.

He couldn't help but praise in his heart: Wan Niang's cooking skills are really getting better and better!

Then, he raised his eyes and said to Zheng Dadao: "Please ask Mr. Chen to come in! I don't know if you have eaten anything to make you feel dizzy if you come here at this time. Ask your wife to bring another bowl of Madam's ten-ingredient tonic soup to the study. I need to entertain the guest."

Zheng Da was stunned for a moment, then nodded and retreated.

Lin Yuzan also took this opportunity to sigh: "We have only been at home for one day, but we have encountered so many things."

Wang Cheng glanced at him disapprovingly and sincerely suggested: "If Shun'an has time, he should go to Guo'an Temple to pray. With your bad luck, it will be more difficult than in the dream! Look how many times Sister Qing has been unlucky because of you!"

Lin Yuzan: ...

He glared at his old rival fiercely, then continued to chew his bun with great effort.

Now there are only him and Wang Cheng in the Lin family, and the rest have gone to the next door to eat. From time to time, laughter can be heard, making these two "abandoned" old men seem even more lonely.

Just at this moment, someone who was fun to play with came over, and my depressed mood couldn't help but ease a little.

Soon, Zheng Da brought "Chen You" in.

When Lin Yuzan saw this man again, he found that he was no different from the one he saw yesterday, except that his gorgeous clothes were replaced by a coarse cloth gown. He had a smile on his face and looked even more hospitable.

"Chen You" was also very friendly when he saw Lin Yuzan. He was the first to bow and said, "I am Chen You from Jianning, and I am a candidate who came to participate in the imperial examination. It is inappropriate to disturb you at this time, but I lost my book box when I came to Beijing, and I heard that Master Lin is a student of Yunfei Academy and will return to the academy early tomorrow morning, so I came to visit you impatiently. I hope you can forgive me."

As soon as he finished speaking, his raised hand was warmly held by Lin Yuzan, who gave him an extra steamed bun: "Mr. Chen, you are too polite. You are so young and promising. It really brings honor to my humble home to visit a young scholar like me. I thought you might not have eaten yet. My wife just brought the food into the study. If you don't mind, why don't we eat and chat at the same time."

Chen You looked at the steamed bun in his hand with a little surprise, then smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Lin for your hospitality. I haven't eaten yet, and these steamed buns come just in time."

As he spoke, he took a bite without hesitation, and then he felt a sharp pain in his teeth. He looked down and found that he had only bitten through the skin of the bun.

"Chen You": ...

At this time, he heard another voice in his ear: "Shun'an, this ten-ingredient tonic soup is enough to entertain guests. If it's not enough, I'll go to the kitchen and ask my sister to cook another pot."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuzan immediately limped and dragged "Chen You" into the house, shouting, "Enough, enough, my uncle loves me so much, I really don't deserve it!"

Uncle?

"Chen You" looked up and saw a young man who looked very similar to Leng Qingnian sitting in the house. He couldn't help but wonder - is this Qingshan Jun?

He was still wondering how this man could have a brother-in-law when a bowl of boiling hot tofu soup was stuffed into his hands.

Lin Yuzan sat down in front of him, took a sip of the tofu soup, and said to him, "This is the tonic soup that my wife made especially for me because she loves me. Mr. Chen, please have a try."

Chen You looked down at the tofu soup in his hand, his eyes twitching slightly, and asked in disbelief, "Is this really a tonic soup?"

"Of course. When we were in Yanjing in the future, my wife would always feel grateful for my hard work in studying. Whenever I stayed up late, she would cook this soup. Every time I tasted it, I felt that I was blessed by the gods, and my study became more efficient." Lin Yuzan promoted it enthusiastically.

"Chen You": ...

Being stared at by two hospitable eyes, "Chen You" raised the corner of his mouth a little uncomfortably, carefully picked up the soup bowl, and took a sip.

In an instant, the strong fishy smell of tofu hit me in the face, my stomach felt like it was churning, and the soup in my mouth was about to burst out.

At this time, the man who looked like Leng Qingnian spoke up, "Although this tofu only costs two cents a piece, it is the best delicacy we have tasted since we came to Yanjing. Nowadays, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I wonder if we will be able to eat this bowl of tonic soup if we are lucky enough to ascend to a high position in the future. I am afraid that we can only eat delicacies from land and sea to reminisce the hard days of the past."

Lin Yuzan laughed and shook his head, advising: "Uncle, don't be sentimental. Don't we have to drink a bowl of ten-ingredient tonic soup every time we come back to remind ourselves not to forget our roots."

Then, he glanced at "Chen You" and saw that his cheeks were puffed up and his face was extremely painful. He asked knowingly: "Mr. Chen, why do you look like this? Is this soup not to your liking?"

Chen You stiffened his neck and forced himself to swallow the food in his mouth, forcing a smile and saying, "Mr. Lin, you are worrying too much. I was born in poverty, and those who stutter are God's gift. How can it be that it doesn't suit your appetite?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Da's wife brought in a pot of soup and added a spoonful to each person's bowl, saying, "Master, Madam said that if the guests like it, we have some tofu left at home, so we can cook another pot."

"Chen You": ...

After Zheng Da's wife finished all this, she slowly left the study and met Wan Niang who was waiting outside.

Wan Niang lowered her voice and asked, "You have lived in Yanjing for many years, have you ever seen this person?"

Mrs. Zheng shook her head regretfully: "Madam, I seem to have seen this person before when I was in the previous master's house, but I don't know his name or given name."

Little Yining poked her head out to take a look at the brightly lit study, then looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, does Sister Qing actually know who that person is?"

When Wan Niang heard this, she patted her daughter's head lovingly and said softly, "Be good, Qing Jie, I'll take you to rest!"

Xiao Yining:......, okay!
