Mr. Wei and Qin Hexuan followed the Ye family back to the dumpling restaurant. When they heard that the injured Ye Lao Si was also there, they went into the house to visit him.
They had just come out of the east room when Ye Qingshan, who had received the news, also came over with Shao Shi.
Perhaps they were afraid that their two sons would cause trouble and scare their husband away, so only the couple came without their children.
Seeing this, Mrs. Ye asked people to set up a table in the main hall and the west room in the backyard, so that men and women could eat separately at noon.
Mr. Wei saw that Ye Qingshan and his wife had also arrived, so he suggested, "How about I ask someone to invite Mr. Jiao over? We can get to know each other over dinner first, and then we can talk about business more easily. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshan quickly stood up and said, "I don't know where Mr. Jiao is now. I will go and invite him personally."
Seeing Ye Qingshan's respectful attitude, Mr. Wei's expression became more relaxed.
It seems that the Ye family really has a good family tradition. Even though Ye Qingshan is already a general, he still treats his children's teacher with such respect, which is really rare.
Therefore, Wei Yan softened his tone and said, "General Ye is too polite. You don't know Mr. Jiao, so it would be troublesome if you went over.
"I'll send someone to invite him over and formally introduce him to you."
Ye Qingshan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. He controlled his temper and sat down again.
Soon, the servants of the Qin Mansion invited Mr. Jiao over.
Mr. Jiao looks much younger than Mr. Wei, probably around forty years old.
Moreover, he had a pair of gentle peach blossom eyes, a fair face without beard, thin lips with slightly red color, and looked quite romantic and suave.
Mr. Jiao was wearing a simple bamboo green robe, and when he walked, his soapy trousers and cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles were exposed. He looked like a weak scholar.
As soon as Ye Qingshan saw Mr. Jiao's appearance, he immediately became worried about him.
Can such a gentle and indifferent gentleman really take care of his two little monkeys?
When they saw Mr. Jiao come in, everyone in the room stood up.
Wei Yan stepped forward and introduced: "This is Jiao Jingzhou, Mr. Jiao.
"This is the General Ye Qingshan I told you about."
Ye Qingshan quickly bowed and greeted Mr. Jiao, "Hello, Mr. Jiao."
Jiao Jingzhou smiled slightly, his brows and eyes showing gentleness and kindness. He also bowed and said, "I have heard about General Ye's heroic deeds for a long time. Seeing the general in person, he is indeed heroic."
Ye Qingshan was embarrassed by the praise and kept saying, "What's the bravery? I'm just a rough guy and I'm not very good at speaking. I hope you don't mind."
"That's okay. I also like to be straightforward." After Jiao Jingzhou said that, everyone finished their polite exchanges and sat down.
Jiao Jingzhou looked around the room and said to Wei Yan, "Is this the dumpling restaurant that Brother Wei praised so highly before?"
"Exactly!" Wei Yan perked up upon hearing this and said, "Madam You cooked for us personally today. We have dumplings to eat, so you're in for a treat."
Jiao Jingzhou's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he nodded, "That's great. Brother Wei always praised Madam You's cooking skills in his letters. I never thought I would be so lucky to eat her so soon."
Originally, when Wei Yan and Qin Hexuan came to have dinner, Mrs. Ye had already taken it very seriously.
She was cooking in the kitchen when she heard Qingtian say that Ye Qingshan and his wife and Mr. Jiao were also coming. She immediately removed the several home-cooked dishes she had originally planned and replaced them with new ones.
"Dad, go buy something for me." Mrs. Ye hurriedly listed a few ingredients that were out of stock at home and told Old Master Ye, "If you can't buy them outside, go home and ask Grandpa.
"This has to do with Qingshan hiring a doctor for his child. We can't be careless."
Mrs. Ye was busy in the kitchen and didn't see Mr. Jiao, but she had heard about it from Qingtian when he came back.
Mr. Wei said that Mr. Jiao was a person with a somewhat strange temper.
So she was very nervous now, fearing that she would not prepare the meal well and offend Mr. Jiao, making him unhappy and ruining Ye Qingshan's big plan of hiring a teacher for his child.
Boss Ye did not dare to delay and repeated the ingredients several times. After making sure that he remembered them all, he drove out.
The people in the room chatted for a while, and then Mrs. Ye started serving the dishes.
When Ye Qingshan saw Sister Ye come in, he quickly stood up and took the plate and said, "Sister-in-law, you've worked so hard today."
Mrs. Ye handed him a plate, turned around and went into the house to place another plate on the table in the west room.
Shao was already feeling a bit uneasy. Seeing Sister Ye come in, she quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, is there anything I can help you with? I..."
But before she could finish her words, she was pulled back to the kang by Old Lady Ye.
"You're a rare guest here, and there are kitchen helpers in the back kitchen. There's no need for you to help."
Mrs. Ye also said, "Yes, there are only the two of you in the room. Wouldn't it be helpful if you just chat with the old lady for a while?"
Jiao Jingzhou sat next to Wei Yan, seemingly chatting with him, but in fact he was watching everything Ye Qingshan and Shao said and did.
Seeing this, Wei Yan whispered, "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Jiao Jingzhou just said: "It's okay, let's see."
After saying this, Mrs. Ye quickly returned to the kitchen and said to Qingtian, who was sitting on a small stool, "I just saw Mr. Jiao. He's really handsome.
"He has a very scholarly air, not at all like the eccentric person Mr. Wei described him as."
Qingtian tilted his head in confusion, pondered what Mrs. Ye said for a while, and said, "Mother, the teacher said that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
