Chapter 110 Xiao Yan Talks about Daya’s Marriage
Doctor Hu was eager to give it a try, so he told Liu Xing that he wanted to invest 100 taels of silver to give it a try.
Liu Xing was drunk and couldn't speak clearly.
"Originally, I wasn't going to bring anyone except Brother Xiao. But he didn't have the money to invest, and, besides, we brothers also get along well, so, I'll take you with me."
"I'm not lending you money, I'm investing in the company." Doctor Hu was not confused even after drinking, and his eyes were shining.
"No, no problem! Brother, we are all brothers."
"Brother Liu is straightforward!" Doctor Hu and he put their arms around each other's shoulders, and the two of them were talking incoherently, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Seeing that they were all drunk, Xiao Yan got up and went to the kitchen to find Lu Qiniang.
When Erya saw him come in, she immediately came over to complain.
"Dad, Dad, I really saw a dark shadow. It was scary."
She had just gone out to feed the ducks and was frightened.
But when she talked about it again, Lu Qiniang didn't believe it and said she was seeing things.
Xiao Yan said, "It shouldn't be that he's dazzled. He might just be passing by and got a fright from you."
Erya said, "Anyway, there are people."
"Don't go out at night from now on." Xiao Yan said, "Not even at the door."
"I know." Erya agreed happily. She really wanted to work!
"Just let her be lazy." Lu Qinniang scolded, lifted the lid of the pot, and brought out a bowl of egg custard in the rising steam.
Yun Ting went forward to take it, but Lu Qiniang said, "Don't move, it's hot."
"You'll know after you scald him once." Xiao Yan said expressionlessly.
He thought that the egg custard was for him. After all, he was with two drunkards and was ate only after being urged to drink.
Yun Ting: "...I won't leave, no matter what you say, just say whatever you want."
"You are so shameless, are you trying to steal my father?" Erya said angrily.
"You don't know the etiquette, call me uncle!" Yun Ting was very proud.
Xiao Yan didn't have any egg custard to eat, and felt inexplicably lost. He thought Yun Ting was too noisy and slapped him casually, "Even egg custard can't shut your mouth."
Yun Ting: “…”
Arya laughed out loud.
Lu Qiniang took the sieve out of the pot and stood aside, holding the bowl in one hand and the spoon in the other. She scooped out a bowl of soup and said, "I see you all drank quite a bit, so I made some hangover soup for you. Xiao Yan, have a bowl first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan felt that the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed.
This must be specially given to him, and others just benefit from it.
Lu Qiniang was still sighing, "We never knew what hangover soup was before. It was only at the Zhou residence that I saw a little bit of the world and realized that acid can help sober up."
Now that life is better, I can even drink hangover soup at home.
After Xiao Yan finished drinking the soup, the two people outside were still talking big and calling each other brothers, and they were just short of setting up an incense table to become sworn brothers.
Xiao Yan went out quietly.
He walked out to the alley beside the house and said softly, "Which brother is on duty today?"
After a while, someone finally jumped down from the wall and bowed to him, saying, "Jiang Yu, the guard of the Duke of Yun's Mansion, greets... Young Master Xiao."
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Yan said, "How do you take turns?"
"Two people in a group, six groups in total, three groups a day, four hours each."
That is, one day on duty is four hours, and then you can rest for one day.
"Not really." Xiao Yan said.
"Really," Jiang Yu said with his head down, "I dare not neglect it even a little bit. If it goes on for too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on."
Yun Ting has done so many weird things that it’s impossible to count them all.
"Yeah." Xiao Yan said, "When my daughter came out just now, did she meet one of you two?"
"It's me." Jiang Yu said, "I went to buy some buns and came back. I didn't expect there was someone else outside. I scared the second young lady. Please forgive me, Master Xiao."
"No problem." Xiao Yan said, "I'm not here to accuse you, I'm just here to confirm. I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately, and I'm sorry for all the hard work. Please help me keep an eye on things. Thank you."
"It's just a small favor. Please excuse me, Master Xiao. If there's anything unusual, I'll let you know immediately."
"Thank you very much."
Only then did Xiao Yan turn around and leave.
"Mr. Xiao!" Jiang Yu suddenly called him, with some hesitation in his words.
Xiao Yan stopped and looked at him.
"I, I..." Jiang Yu bit her lip, and after a long while, she spoke with difficulty under Xiao Yan's calm gaze, "I am the third child in the family. My eldest brother, Jiang Feng, once served under you, but later returned to Beijing with an injury and received a pension. He now runs an escort agency and lives a good life. He misses you very much and wants to come and see you, but you once ordered that no one is allowed to see you or save you... He just wants to see you..."
"Thank him for me and tell him I'm fine."
"I've told my brother. No one else wanted this errand, but I snatched it up." Jiang Yu said, "You, you are the person I respect and admire the most. If there is an opportunity in the future, I am willing to follow you."
"Thank you, brothers." Xiao Yan's face was gentle. "If that day comes, I will take you in."
"Yes, thank you, General!" Jiang Yu blurted out excitedly.
Xiao Yan smiled and turned to go in.
Jiang Yu raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He will go back tomorrow and tell his elder brother that General Po Lu not only spoke to him but also thanked him.
He was so excited that he didn't have to bite his tongue tonight and could get through the long night.
"Xiao Yan, where have you been?" Lu Qiniang laughed. "I couldn't see you anywhere. I thought you'd gone to the toilet! Eat noodles, eat noodles. You've drunk a lot of wine. Put down your wine glass quickly and eat something."
The last sentence was directed at the two drunkards.
"I just heard Arya say there was a dark shadow. I was afraid it was a duck thief, so I went out to take a look."
Jiang Yu, who had just jumped onto the wall, almost fell down again when he heard this.
I swear to God, they don’t steal tribute ducks.
Anyone involved with tribute ducks is in trouble. This unlucky thing is worth giving away for free.
Finally, the two drunkards were sent away, and Yun Ting helped Daya clean up the dishes.
Now he has improved and breaks things less often than before.
He treated Daya as a "wishing tree" and made a wish that tomorrow his wish would come true and he would be able to eat the braised pork he had missed for a long time.
But when Xiao Yan saw him hanging around Daya, he felt uncomfortable as if sand was rubbed into his eyes.
He sent Yunting back to sleep.
Yun Ting was afraid of his slap, so he didn't dare to disobey. As he left, he kept looking back and warned Daya, "Zhao Zhao, don't close the door in the kitchen. Wait until I fall asleep, then go and help me close the door before you leave!"
He has not made any progress in being afraid of the dark when sleeping, and has become dependent on Daya.
Daya nodded.
Only then did Yun Ting leave with peace of mind.
Daya acts cautiously. Since she promised him, she will definitely do what she says.
"Don't let him get close to you in the future." Xiao Yan whispered to Daya, "He does whatever he wants, especially since he's not engaged yet."
"Father, I know. The Duke's Mansion is a very powerful family. Even if I were to become his concubine, they wouldn't agree. Don't worry, I—"
"I'm worried, and I don't want to." Xiao Yan said seriously, "Zhao Zhao, Yun Ting is not worthy of you. You can't be his mother forever. You will have better choices in the future. If not, then consider making do."
The little girl, who has not seen many men, is easily dazzled.
Daya shouldn't just look for a man like this.
No matter how good your family background is, it won’t work.
It’s not like she can’t get married in her twenties or thirties, maybe she can barely “help alleviate poverty”.
Now Daya should have a better choice, to find a soul mate, someone who truly understands her, loves her and cares for her, instead of being controlled by someone who uses her family background to make do with a man who has not grown up.
"I know, Dad."
Even though she was deeply moved, Daya just lowered her eyes quietly and responded.
She thought that sincere people would meet sincere people.
She was sincerely happy for her mother.
