V2.Chapter 2

The night is cold as water.

In the Xu family's mansion, Xu Chengxuan lay bored on a rattan chair covered with mattresses and tiger skins. After Yan Jiuchao's guards lost an arm and a leg, he began to spend his days recuperating from mildew.

He is Xu Shao's direct son. He has two older brothers. Unfortunately, they are both concubines and their status is not as valuable as him. After learning that he was seriously injured, Concubine Xu Xian invited the best imperial doctor and sent the best wound medicine. His broken arm The broken leg has been attached, but it is still too early to heal.

As soon as he fell ill, the two elder brothers who were born from the concubine were like clowns jumping on the beam, and couldn't wait to rush to his father. This is that Bi Nu was gone. If he was there, they would have to suffer a little!

"Third Young Master! Third Young Master!" A young servant trotted over in a panic.

"What's the matter? What are my two older brothers doing?" Since Xu Chengxuan was injured, he has become a little bit yin and yang.

The little servant said shyly: "It's not the eldest young master and the second young master, it's..."

"What is it!" Xu Chengxuan became impatient.

The young servant glanced at Yu Guang, and he didn't even have the strength to report, and stepped aside in a dejected manner.

"Are you deaf or dumb? Just say something—" Xu Chengxuan turned his head cursingly, and saw the man striding towards him, his expression was startled, "Cousin?"

Yan Huaijing's expression was icy cold, and a terrifying aura filled his body.

Xu Chengxuan had never seen such a terrifying cousin, so he was speechless.

Yan Huaijing's eyes swept away: "You all step back!"

The little servant and the maids shy away in a proper manner.

"Why didn't he step back?" Xu Chengxuan glanced at Jun Chang'an, who was putting a pestle aside, and muttered softly.

Jun Changan didn't even give him a look.

Yan Huaijing came to the rattan chair and looked down at Xu Chengxuan, who couldn't stand up and salute: "It's not honest to be beaten up! Why do you do this?"

"Why did you do this? Cousin, didn't you come to see me? Why did you reprimand me as soon as you saw me, like my father?" Xu Chengxuan said aggrieved.

Xu Chengxuan is the direct son of the family, and he has a good appearance. He is loved by Concubine Xu Xian when he urinates, and his relationship with Yan Huaijing is much closer than others, and he doesn't speak so much as a monarch and minister.

Seeing his cousin like this in the past, Yan Huaijing pampered him like a big brother, but after such incidents, he could no longer treat Xu Chengxuan as that heartless child.

"You still don't admit it? Well, then look at it, what is this!" Yan Huaijing threw the small iron cylinder that she was holding all the way onto Xu Chengxuan's clothes.

Seeing what this was, Xu Chengxuan's expression suddenly changed.

"What? Have nothing to say?" Yan Huaijing asked coldly.

Xu Chengxuan's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be crazy and said: "What is this? Where did my cousin come from?"

Yan Huaijing hated the iron and looked at him: "I won't shed tears until I see the coffin! Chang'an!"

Jun Changan walked through the Moon Gate unhurriedly, grabbed the Chang Sui who Xu Chengxuan had sent to Tianxiang Tower on Chang'an Avenue, and threw it in front of Xu Chengxuan with a blank expression.

Changsui's nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he gave Xu Chengxuan a frightened look: "Young... young master..."

What Xu Chengxuan didn't understand when he saw his appearance of being more than successful and more than failure? I'm afraid that this guy didn't hold up to Jun Changan's means, he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said!

"roll!"

Xu Chengxuan snorted.

Long followed and ran away.

Xu Chengxuan turned his face angrily.

Yan Huaijing said coldly, "Why on earth did you do this? Did Miss Yu provoke you?"

"Miss Yu?" Xu Chengxuan turned his face strangely, "Why are you so affectionate? My cousin knows her?"

Yan Huaijing said sternly, "I am asking you now."

Xu Chengxuan snorted coldly: "Why? She broke my arm and leg! I'm just teaching her a lesson!"

Yan Huaijing frowned and said, "Yan Jiuchao interrupted your arms and legs. What's the matter with her?"

Xu Chengxuan sneered: "I only found out a few days ago that she is a woman of Yan Jiuchao!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Yan Huaijing's eyes suddenly turned cold.

Xu Chengxuan was angry and didn't notice his cousin's strangeness: "I'm not talking nonsense! She went to Tianxianglou the day before to slander Chef Yang for stealing her craftsmanship, and the next day Yan Jiuchao came and smashed my Tianxianglou, Does my cousin think it's a coincidence? At first, I didn't even think about her, but that day my guard entered the palace to deliver snacks to my aunt. When I saw Eunuch Wang pick up Yan Jiuchao, I kept an eye on her and followed her all the way. Guess what, cousin? Yan Jiuchao actually moved to that girl's village! If my cousin tells me that this is a coincidence, then I'll admit it myself!"

Yan Huaijing suddenly remembered the word "Yan" that Yu Wan called before she fell asleep, so she didn't know him, and it wasn't him that she called, but... Yan Jiuchao?

Did she take him as Yan Jiuchao? Or do you hope that the person who came to rescue her is Yan Jiuchao?

No matter which one...it shows that she really knows Yan Jiuchao.

Yan Jiuchao smashed Tianxianglou and Xu Chengxuan because of her? In order not to push her into the limelight, he specifically wanted to cover up and beat up the second generation ancestor of the capital.

This thought, this thought!

"Cousin, don't believe me, what I said is true. I was so angry that I couldn't hold my breath. When I learned that she was also coming for comparison, I asked someone to teach her a lesson." Xu Chengxuan insisted No way to be soft, pulling Yan Huaijing's sleeve, revealing a pitiful look.

If it wasn't for what was found in the ice cellar, Yan Huaijing might have let him lie: "A little lesson? You colluded with the ghost clan of the Southern Border. If it spreads out, I don't know who taught whom!"

"What ghost clan?" Xu Chengxuan was confused.

His expression didn't seem to be fake, Yan Huaijing pointed to the iron cylinder on his body: "Who gave you this thing?"

Xu Chengxuan sighed and said: "Bi Nu, but he left and never came back. If my cousin is convenient, let Jun Changan help me find it, without him, my troubles will increase. "

"Where did you know him?" Yan Huaijing asked.

Xu Chengxuan talked about the experience of befriending Bi Nu, he didn't know Bi Nu's identity, so he didn't think there was anything to hide.

Yan Huaijing looked at him for a moment: "Whatever he gave you, hand over everything."

Xu Chengxuan hummed, "Why? He's gone, so I'm not allowed to keep his things?"

Yan Huaijing asked calmly, "Do you still want to find him?"

Compared with the dead things left by Bi Nu, Xu Chengxuan wanted this big living person more, gritted his teeth, and handed Bi Nu's "relics" to Yan Huaijing.

"In the future, don't bring all the messy people back to the mansion, and don't make trouble secretly. If I find out that you are unruly, I will send you back to Xuzhou!"

After Yan Huaijing warned Xu Chengxuan, he took the box and left with Jun Changan.

Xu Chengxuan looked at Jun Chang'an's retreating back, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes.

...

Lord Qin sent Yu Wan and his party back to Lotus Village.

Qin Ye just asked Yinzi to inquire, and the old chefs in the uncle's group are full of praise for the uncle's dishes. In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, each dish is presented without prior notice to the old chef. Therefore, as Yan Ruyu suspected, the Yu family's promotion was due to the second prince.

Of course, the old chef is also quite satisfied with the craftsmanship of the remaining two chefs, especially Mrs. Du, her cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and she would not have made some gimmicks as rumored.

"There will be a tough battle tomorrow." Qin Ye sighed with emotion.

Furthermore, this kind of big competition has a certain degree of subjectivity. Some people like it. For example, the old chef who admires their dishes very much. If they do not like it, they can only ask for more happiness.

The carriage drove to the entrance of the village, and the uncle said, "Just come here. It's getting late, so I won't leave Master Qin with tea. Master Qin walks slowly."

Qin Ye said goodbye with a smile.

A few people got off the carriage, and returned to the old house with the stars and the moon.

They had dinner, but the aunt and Jiang Shi waited for them to eat, and they ate some more with them.

The aunt cooked a plate of fried tofu with shallots, a bowl of yuba braised pork, a pot of bacon and spring bamboo shoots soup, and a few side dishes bought in the town. The vegetables in the field are gone, so I want to buy it in the town. In order to cook a sumptuous meal to treat them, the aunt also learned from the city people to buy side dishes in the town.

"Auntie, sit down, I'll come." Yu Wan went to the stove and took the bowls and chopsticks in her hands.

The aunt pushed her hand away: "You sit, it's been a long day."

Yu Wan smiled: "It's like you're idle at home."

The aunt didn't say anything, but Yu Wan understood that she was no easier than they were when they were out.

Yu Wan insisted on taking the bowl and chopsticks.

"This child!" The aunt gave her an angry look.

"Zhen Zhen, take it." The little girl stood on tiptoe.

The aunt also gave her a bowl, which she carried to the main room.

"Huh? Where's the little iron egg?" Yu Wan asked, she didn't see the little guy who was sticking to her more and more when she entered the room, which was really strange.

Jiang Shi smiled and said nothing.

The aunt gave Jiang Shi a piece of pork belly that is fat and thin: "I'm angry with you!"

Yu Wan raised her eyebrows oddly: "Angry at me? Why?"

The peasants have a lot of food. Although they have eaten in the capital, they are now on the table. Several men each brought a large bowl of rice. Yu Song drank three bowls in one breath and still wanted to eat. He glanced at Yu Wan, very calm. He put down the tableware.

Yu Wan was not very hungry, so she drank some soup and went to find the little iron egg.

Little Tie Dan was lying beside Yu Feng's bed, his little butt was pouted high, his head buried in his arms, and he looked like he didn't care about anyone.

Yu Wan gently came behind him and called out a little iron egg.

Little Tie Dan buried his head even tighter.

Yu Wan patted his little ass ball: "What? Are you really mad at me?"

Little Tie Dan buried his head with one hand, and reached behind with the other hand, brushing Yu Wan's hand away.

Ouch, she is not allowed to touch it.

Yu Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she pulled the little iron Dan, who was sulking at her, over, and the little iron egg was struggling, but where was Yu Wan's opponent? After a while, Yu Wan straightened her body.

Yu Wan bent down and looked at him.

He turned his face away angrily!

Yu Wan tutted and pinched his tanned little face: "You have learned to slap me, believe it or not, you spanked your ass?"

Little Tie Dan said angrily, "You fight, fight!"

Yu Wan looked at him with a smile: "Are you willing to talk?"

Little Tie Dan clasped his arms tightly and tilted his head: "Humph!"

"You have to tell me why you are angry with me, otherwise I will do it again next time, isn't it still you who is angry?" Yu Wan said persuasively.

Little Tie Dan felt that his elder sister seemed to be very reasonable, turned her face, crossed her waist, and said to Yu Wan bitterly, "Whoever told you to go out without me!"

"Just for this..." Yu Wan forgot that this was a small talker who likes to hurry, Yu Wan smiled in her heart, but said helplessly, "It's no wonder I, I called you when I left, who told you You slept so deeply, I couldn't wake you up."

"I...I...where do I have it?" Little Iron Dan blushed.

The bad sister continued to rely on him and said, "Didn't you start it all by yourself in the past? This time you didn't start, so I'll assume you don't want to go."

"Oh, I want to go! I want to go!" Little Tie Dan stomped his feet in a hurry.

Yu Wan laughed in her heart, how could a child be so easy to deceive?

My brother is about to cry, and I think it's interesting to tease him.

I'm such a bad sister.

Yu Wan was amused enough, pointed to the main room and said, "Then go and ask the second brother, if he can take care of you tomorrow, I will take you there."

"Why me?" Yu Song said dissatisfiedly.

"Because you can't help." Little Tie Dan said sharply.

Yu Song, despised by his younger brother: "..."

It seems like beating up such a kid is swollen...

Yu Feng has a bit of a true inheritance from his father in cooking. He has a good manner when he starts. Yu Song is neither like his brother who can blanch water and stir-fry vegetables, nor like Yu Wan who can handle knives and meat dishes. His presence is very important. It's tasteless, it's not wrong to be sent to take care of the little iron egg, but how can a big man be looked down upon by a little baby?

Yu Song didn't let go of life and death. The little iron egg used eighteen martial arts skills, but he didn't hang on to his lap to call his father. Yu Song was so entangled that he had an idea: "Let the third aunt take you there!"

The third aunt is from the city, so she shouldn't get lost in the city.

"Sister, can A-Niang take me there?" Little Tie Dan asked weakly.

Yu Wan looked at Jiang Shi who was beside her.

Jiang shi looked at Yu Wan gently, and said with a smile, "Awan wants Aniang to go?"

Yu Wan has been in Lotus Village for so long, and she has never seen her mother leave the village. The farthest place her mother has been to is the entrance of the village. On weekdays, she only walks around her own house and the old house. Occasionally, she visits Aunt Zhang's house, but there are not many.

In all fairness, Yu Wan really hoped that her mother would go out to relax.

"Yeah." Yu Wan nodded.

Jiang's doting smile: "Okay."

Yu Song was relieved, this little burden was finally thrown out!

Yu Wan winked at him and said, "Second brother, tomorrow my A-Niang and Tie Dan will be handed over to you."

Yu Song: "..."

Yu Song: "?!"

"What, what?!" Yu Songfeng was in a mess...

...

Yan House.

Yan Ruyu returned to the house with three little milk bags, and the faces of the four were not very good-looking.

The little milk bun who lost the pig bun was angry and aggrieved, and ignored Yan Ruyu along the way.

It's just something belonging to a strange woman, so she threw it away when she threw it away. A few young people dared to show her face, and Yan Ruyu became more and more angry. It wasn't because Mother Lin stopped her, she almost wanted to get started.

"Children can't get used to it, just beat him twice and be honest." The maid muttered.

Mama Lin glared at her. This servant girl was called Lizhi. She was introduced by the housekeeper. It was said that she was a distant relative, but in Mama Lin's opinion, she had shallow eyelids and no education.

There are some things that the young lady can say, and some things that the young lady can do, because the young lady is the mother of the little son, but the servant is always the servant, and there must be no disrespect to the master.

The carriage arrives at Yan House.

Mother Lin and Lizhi helped Yan Ruyu out of the carriage, Yan Ruyu said to the three little guys, "Get off!"

The three of them clenched their fists tightly.

"Can't get down?" Yan Ruyu's tone was a bit cold.

Three people do not go down.

Yan Ruyu said coldly, "You guys are becoming more and more unruly now, don't you remember how I taught you, right? Well, then you listen to me, or come down to me now and go back to the house for dinner, or... …”

"Miss." Lin's mother interrupted Yan Ruyu's words, this is not in Xuzhou, so many people watched, punished the child, and spread to the ears of the princess and the young master Yan, it was not clear in a few words.

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath and squeezed her fingers: "Take the person back to the yard."

The guards went to hold the child, and the three of them punched and kicked.

Yan Ruyu got angry, got on the carriage, grabbed a small arm at will, and rudely pulled it out.

The little nipple hurts from being pulled.

"Yu'er! You all go down!" Madam Yan arrived in time and screened everyone away. She hugged the third child whose arm was hurt by Yan Ruyu, and scolded, "What are you doing!"

Angered by the village girl and the three little things, and now even her mother came to give her anger, Yan Ruyu filled her chest with anger, and coldly left a few little fellows behind, and entered the house with her sleeves turned!

"This child, after so many years, his temper hasn't changed at all... You are a mother, why are you still so willful?" Mrs. Yan muttered, rubbing the arm of the third child, "Okay, don't be angry, tonight Go to my grandmother, and my grandmother prepared something delicious."

Mrs. Yan walked towards the mansion with three small milk bags.

It just so happened that a carriage stopped at the house opposite Yan's Mansion. The three little babes turned their heads and saw a young lady get off the carriage. Then, she smiled and carried her three-year-old son off the carriage.

Her face was full of love for her son.

The three little milk packs bowed their heads in loneliness.

Why is it only their mother who doesn't like themselves?
