Chapter 273 The distinguished guest has arrived



Seeing that the weather was good in the afternoon, Su Wenyue heated up a few hot basins to warm up the room. She gave the little ones a bath herself, getting herself wet. She also took a bath and now asked the maid to wipe her hair.

"Madam, the master wants you to come over. He said that a distinguished guest has arrived and wants you to come over to entertain the guest."

"You asked me to go over to help entertain the guests. Who is coming?" Su Wenyue asked with some surprise. This was the first time that Han Yu asked her to go out to entertain the guests so formally. It seemed that the person who came was not only of an extraordinary status, but also had a good relationship with Han Yu, otherwise he would not have let her go.

"I don't recognize him. I have never seen him before. He is a young man dressed like a scholar. He is quite handsome and seems to be very familiar with our master."

As expected, Su Wenyue ordered people to go to the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes and change her clothes. However, her hair was still a little wet, and it was not good to meet guests with disheveled hair, so she tied her hair up. Anyway, it was almost dry.

"Hello, sister-in-law. I am sorry to bother you today. I hope you will not dislike it."

As soon as Su Wenyue entered, she saw the gentle young man bowing to her and looking at her with a smile on his face. She immediately recognized him. Wasn't this Deng Tong, who had dinner with Han Yu in the county before? The young master of the Deng family, the Deng family was also a wealthy family in Xinye. At that time, he had met Han Yu, who was still a farmer, so she was quite impressed. She has not forgotten it until now and recognized Deng Tong at a glance.

"It turned out to be Master Deng. No wonder my husband called me over. A distinguished guest has arrived."

"You are too polite, sister-in-law. I have heard about the good cooking skills in your house, so I specially asked Brother Han to bring me here today. Sister-in-law, please ask the kitchen to cook some delicious dishes for me." Deng Tong was not a reserved person, and said jokingly.

"It's rare for Master Deng to come to our house, so of course we have to entertain him well. I've already asked the kitchen to prepare, and I'll cook a few dishes myself later. The wine at home is also brewed by ourselves, and it tastes pretty good. Master Deng will have a few drinks later, so that his special trip will be worthwhile." Su Wenyue also said with a smile.

Han Yu brought Deng Tong home because he thought Deng Tong was a trustworthy person and quite righteous. He had helped him a lot this time. However, when he saw his wife and Deng Tong chatting and laughing together, he felt unhappy even though he knew they were both doing it for his sake. After all, his wife was so beautiful that he just wanted to hide her and not let anyone see her. Especially when he saw Su Wenyue's hair was still a little damp, Han Yu frowned even more.

"Why do you wash your hair so frequently in such a cold weather? You don't even let the servants help you dry it. What if you catch a cold? You'll have a headache again. You're not in good health to begin with, and you don't take care of yourself." Han Yu spoke in a scolding tone, regardless of the fact that Deng Tong was still present, and insisted that Su Wenyue go back to her room to dry her hair first.

Su Wenyue didn't expect Han Yu to say this in front of others. She felt a little embarrassed, but Han Yu always cared about her health, especially after the birth. He was even more concerned about her health and would not tolerate any negligence, so it was inevitable that he made a fuss out of nothing.

"Wow, Brother Han and his wife-in-law have such a great relationship. It makes me a little envious." Deng Tong really felt so. Coming from a big family like his, he was even more deeply touched by this scene. Even his father and mother had always treated each other with respect, and even their few words of concern were just polite. There was never such a warm atmosphere.

At Han Yu's insistence, Su Wenyue went back to her room to continue drying her hair, and then went to the kitchen. Although she said she was cooking herself, in fact she didn't really do anything. She just directed the cook to cook according to her method.

Su Wenyue knew that young masters like Deng Tong ate too much meat and fish, and there was no time to prepare the main dishes at this time. The taste of the dishes made in a hurry would always be a little off, so she did not prepare these. Instead, she took out some pickled eggs and pickles, and prepared a few more vegetables, as well as vegetables and fruits grown from seeds of foreign vassals, and made a table of home-cooked dishes. However, these home-cooked dishes were not ordinary. Many of them were dishes that no one had seen before. Some were developed by combining many dishes in the previous life, and some were recently figured out in this life.

While Su Wenyue was away, Han Yu and Deng Tong talked about the affairs of the court again. Although Deng Tong was still studying and not serving as an official in the court, with such a background, some things were unavoidable. He was the eldest son of the family and gradually took over the family affairs. That was why he was able to help Han Yu this time and get back the credit for suppressing the bandits, although there were other roles involved.

"In fact, the situation is not only complicated in Chang'an, but also in Yiyang Prefecture. The court is about to fall into chaos. Everything is empty and everyone is eager to grab power and benefits. You must be more careful when you go to the prefecture. Don't do too much when you first arrive. Find out the situation inside first. I have a friend who is also in the headquarters. He is a righteous man. I will help you contact him first. If you have any problems when you go to the headquarters, you can ask him to take care of you."

Deng Tong was willing to make friends with Han Yu because he saw that Han Yu was a man of extraordinary abilities and a good person. Sure enough, in just such a short period of time, Han Yu had already become a seventh-rank lieutenant. This time, thanks to the bandit suppression mission, he would not only be transferred to the headquarters in the city, but would also definitely be promoted. His contribution in the bandit suppression was great, so no matter how much, he would definitely be promoted by one or two ranks.

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Deng. I, Han Yu, will never forget your kindness. If Brother Deng needs my help in the future, please let me know."

Deng Tong waved his hand and said, "It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, Brother Han. Everyone has problems from time to time, and friends should help each other. If I need your help in the future, I will definitely not hesitate."

"The food is ready. Would my husband and Mr. Deng like to eat first?" Because Han Yu did not ask anyone to come in to serve them, Su Wenyue didn't know whether Han Yu and Deng Tong were discussing confidential matters. She did not ask the servants to come in, but went to invite them in person. Sure enough, she heard Han Yu and Deng Tong discussing something. She was even more surprised to hear that Han Yu was going to be promoted to the provincial capital. A hint of joy flashed across her face, but Su Wenyue knew the limits and did not ask any questions at this time.

People who practice martial arts have extraordinary hearing. When Han Yu heard someone approaching the door, his face froze. When he saw that it was Su Wenyue coming in, his expression eased. When he heard Su Wenyue's question, he nodded.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Then let's eat first, please, Brother Deng!"

Deng Tong was a person who loved to eat, and his request to come to the Han family for dinner was not just an excuse. As soon as he entered the door, he set his eyes on the table full of dishes.
