Chapter 144 Mr. Xie is overthinking
Seeing her say that, Xie Yan did not insist any more. Although his grandfather was not seriously ill, he was old. It would not be too late to express his gratitude in a few days.
He said, "You opened the Fanghua Pavilion in this town, right?"
It's not a question, it's an affirmation.
Yes, he had used the soap in it.
"Yes, my shop."
“Business is good.”
After saying this, his eyes fell on the woven colorful ropes on the table.
When he was young, his mother would weave colorful strings for him to wear every Dragon Boat Festival.
One year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my stepbrother lost his colorful rope. My mother said she could weave another one for him, but my stepbrother insisted on having the one on his wrist.
His mother asked him to give the bracelet to his older brother, and she would weave another one for herself.
But why?
Why should he give up his own when his good big brother is unwilling to wait and make up another one?
He was unwilling and was scolded by his father.
Since then, he has never worn the colorful rope again.
Seeing him staring at the colorful ropes, Li Wanyue picked one up and handed it to him: "The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. I give this rope to you. I hope it will bring you good luck."
Xie Yan took it, rubbed it in his hands for a moment, and said, "Thank you."
At this time, another person came in from outside the yard.
Xie Yan looked over and saw the man was wearing a bamboo green silk cotton robe, with a handsome face and elegant temperament.
This man was the one who met the Li family on the day of the temple fair.
Qin Yunyi also looked at Xie Yan. Judging from his demeanor, he didn't look like a businessman.
Qin Yunyi stepped forward and said gently, "Wanyue, I'm here to pick up Zhenzhen, and I brought you some food for the Dragon Boat Festival."
The servant put down the things he brought, which were similar to what Xie Yan brought.
Xie Yan pursed her lips and stared at him, Wanyue?
How dare you call me that in front of so many people?
Are the two of them really discussing marriage?
He tightened his grip on the cup, lowered his eyes to look at the brown-red tea inside, and took a sip.
Li Wanyue said, "I'm sorry to have cost you so much."
"Nothing." Qin Yun also waved his hand.
Xie Yan asked: "Who is this?"
Li Wanyue introduced: "This is Master Qin from Zuixianju, and this is Master Xie from Baiweilou."
"Nice to meet you."
The two greeted each other.
Xie Yan asked: "Are Young Master Qin and Miss Li very familiar with each other?"
Qin Yun also smiled: "She is a very good girl, very clever in business, and has helped my sister before. We have been in contact for a long time, so we are naturally familiar with each other."
"Are you married?"
Qin Yunyi was stunned and shook his head: "No."
"If this is just a conversation between friends, Young Master Qin should be careful about how he addresses you, so as to avoid being misunderstood."
"This is at Wanyue's house, who would misunderstand?"
"Naturally, it's someone who doesn't know the truth."
"Thank you, Master Xie, you are worrying too much. Wanyue and I are both friends and business partners. Our dealings are aboveboard and we are always in the presence of other people. We are very sensible, so you don't need to worry."
Xie Yan looked at him and suddenly curled his lips: "That's good. I heard from A Yu that Young Master Qin wants to cooperate with him in the table business."
"Master Xie also knows about this? That's right, this matter has been settled."
Xie Yan said nothing more.
Zhao Suying came out and invited everyone to have dinner.
Lin Xi, who was hiding outside the courtyard wall, left quietly.
I thought Li Sandong was good-looking, but I didn't expect to meet two such handsome young men today.
I couldn't help but feel jealous of Li Wanyue. How could she know two men with such good looks and good family backgrounds at once?
Since these two people can come to the village, she can also get to know them.
After lunch, Xie Yan, Qin Yunyi and others left.
Xie Yan's carriage was driving in front, and as they walked out of the village, a figure suddenly jumped out from the bushes on the side of the road and fell to the ground.
Qingfeng immediately stopped the carriage.
Lin Xi rubbed his leg and said pitifully, "Master, I sprained my ankle and need to go to town to see a doctor. Could you please give me a ride?"
Xie Yan lifted the curtain on one side and took a look, then said, "Don't worry about it, just go around her."
Qingfeng responded, drove the carriage around and walked away quickly.
"Hey~~" Lin Xi snorted coldly when he saw the carriage going away: "What kind of person is this? He has a good-looking face, but why is his heart so cold?"
Then he saw Qin Yunyi's carriage approaching.
She immediately put on a painful expression and repeated loudly that she had sprained her ankle.
The servant was sitting on the shaft of the carriage. He had been with Qin Yunyi for many years and had seen many women who wanted to throw themselves into his arms. It was obvious that this woman was waiting here on purpose.
Qin Yuzhen said: "Yuanqing, go and help her."
"yes."
Yuan Qing walked up to Lin Xi and said, "Miss, you sprained your ankle, didn't you? I've learned bone setting, so I'd like to help you straighten it out. It'll just be a little painful, can you accept it? If not, I'll go to the village and give your family a message, asking them to come pick you up."
While he was talking, the carriage had already passed by.
Lin Xi felt unwilling to see this, but she also knew that with the servant and the coachman around, she couldn't get close to the young man at all.
As long as he comes to Daohua Village again, she will have a chance.
He waved his hand: "No need, I'll rest here for a while and go back by myself."
Yuan Qing said no more, got back into the car and left.
Lin Xi brushed the dust off his body angrily. They all looked pretty but were actually cold-hearted.
－－－
The Dragon Boat Festival.
Every family puts mugwort on the gates and windows early in the morning.
Hang calamus in the yard and house to drive away miasma.
Wang Guixiang and Sun Xiuqin made vanilla purses and put some Chinese herbs in them. Each member of the Li family held one and tied it around their waist.
Li An and Li Kang are off school today, so after breakfast the kids ran to the mountain to pick grass.
Li Wanyue put on the colorful rope and walked under the big tree. Zhao Suying and Sun Xiuqin were already making rice dumplings.
Wang Guixiang is chopping grass for pigs.
Li Wanyue picked up two pieces of soaked rice leaves, rolled them into a cone shape, stuffed the soaked glutinous rice and red dates into them, wrapped them up, and tied them with a rope.
A rice dumpling is wrapped.
At this time, Li Xiaolan and others came back carrying baskets on their backs.
Li Wanyue asked: "What did you do?"
"We picked a lot of flowers and plants and will play a grass-fighting game later," Li Xiaotao replied.
"Okay, I'll cheer you on."
Li Xiaolan took some grass to the backyard to feed the rabbits, and came out after a while.
"Grandma, auntie, another rabbit is about to give birth."
"Really?" Zhao Suying put down the rice dumplings leaves, wiped her hands on her apron, and walked towards the backyard.
Li Wanyue sighed, the rabbit was indeed a rabbit with super reproductive ability. Last time, the rabbit gave birth to six cubs. This time, it would give birth to a few more, and the rabbit brood would have to be expanded again.
After a busy schedule, eight cubs were born.
Zhao Suying was beaming with joy, knowing that she would no longer be short of rabbit meat.
For lunch, we cooked rice dumplings and fried a few dishes, and we ate and chatted.
"I heard that there are dragon boat races in larger places."
"Yeah, it's a pity we don't have it here, otherwise I would go to the competition too."
Li Wanyue said: "It's not just about dragon boat racing, some wealthy families also have powder shooting games."
"What is a powder ball?"
"Put the prepared glutinous rice balls and jiaoshu on a plate, shoot the balls with a bow and arrow, and whoever is hit can eat it."
"It feels very fun." Everyone listened with curiosity.
Li Wanyue nodded: "Let's play powder shooting game during the Dragon Boat Festival next year."
"good."
Laughter and joyful chatter could be heard from the courtyard, and the magpies on the branches were also jumping happily.
